After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Aunt Mei stroked the strings lightly, feeling that she had almost remembered, she raised her eyes and nodded to Ruan Yuyi.

Immediately afterwards, the piano sounded, and the long sleeves were stretched out, and the gentle tune filled the room, causing the servants on the side to raise their eyes quietly.

She originally wanted to use the one she had learned before, but when the tune came out, she unconsciously danced with her heart.She felt as if she was in a river of clear water, without her needing to think about anything, the river water would naturally lead her to make the next pose.

The river was enveloping her, and she could even feel its warmth when it was sunny, and its softness when it was raining.

After the song was over, Ruan Yuyi was already sweating lightly, but luckily she didn't sweat too much on her face, so she wouldn't ruin her makeup.

Aunt Mei called her to sit down, poured some tea, breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "I want to say, that name really underestimates you, Young Madam, such a dancing posture is a masterpiece in the south of the Yangtze River. "

Ruan Yuyi put down her teacup, and when she heard her praise, she blushed first, "It's my aunt's skill at playing the piano, I just followed suit."

As if realizing that they had been being polite to each other since they met, Aunt Mei chuckled and said, "That's what complements each other. If the young lady wants to refute, I'm afraid they won't be able to boast if they come and go back at night."

I had little contact with this young lady in the past, but now I see her, as those servants said, she has no airs and is a good friend.It even made her feel a little bit like seeing each other late.

"However, I made this piece casually a few days ago, and it's not perfect," Aunt Mei said again, "If Young Madam likes it, I will finish it in a few days, and I will make a copy for you."

After hearing this, Ruan Yuyi's eyes lit up, "Really? Then I will thank Auntie first."

After a few rounds of talking, it was natural to talk about the fetus in her womb.Ruan Yuyi could vaguely feel that Aunt Mei was more worried than happy about this belated child.

She was very insincere, and Aunt Mei was willing to speak her mind slowly.

It turns out that Aunt Mei and Master Cheng were childhood sweethearts. Although their family was not rich when they were young, they have a deep relationship.Later, Mr. Cheng was frustrated in the imperial examination, but thanks to the appreciation of the nobles, he got a job, and gradually became an official in the middle of the capital.

It's just that the tree is so big that the young lady of the Zhu family fell in love with him. Due to the influence of the Zhu family, the still young Master Cheng was afraid of losing his position, so he had to agree.

It is said that twisted melons are not sweet, and no matter what Master Cheng is, it is Cheng Zhushi. She is looking forward to her husband's return, but all she gets is his cold face. Who knows if she has regretted it long ago? .

"My first child was folded in the hands of that person. Now that I want to come—" Aunt Mei only felt a lump in her throat, and thousands of thoughts were entangled in her heart. She suffered too much. When talking to others, it can be summed up in just a few sentences.

The eldest son of the family is a concubine, so it is hard to guarantee that the head wife will not feel unhappy.It's just that she doesn't care whether the child is a boy or a girl, whether it's old or young, she just wants her flesh and blood to survive so that she can grow into an adult.

After that, Master Cheng did compensate her in private, but that didn't help.

Over the years, she has been thinking over and over again, if he really cared about herself, why didn't he send more people to protect Brother Huan from the beginning?
If possible, she would rather that Master Cheng would not be an official in the first place. They would only be farming in the countryside, doing sericulture, enjoying the cool breeze in the mountains, and being with the rising sun and the bright moon.

In fact, so many years of pettiness between them had already worn out her friendship with him at the beginning, and now she seemed to be here, with no choice.

Ruan Yuyi saw that it wasn't loneliness but worry in her eyes, and she didn't know how to comfort her for a while.

She said softly, "I'm afraid I don't have the ability to protect you and your children." She knew that she would not stay in this mansion for long, and she might not see each other in the future, so how can I talk about protecting you.

Aunt Mei shook her head, and said, "I don't ask for anything else, the Young Madam can be regarded as something to talk to in the manor anyway, all you need to do is keep an eye on me. As for the rest, it depends on the child's blessing."

Not wanting to disappoint Aunt Mei, she had no choice but to agree first, "I'm going to the temple tomorrow, and I happened to ask for a peace talisman for you."

She knew that when Aunt Mei found her, there was nothing she could ask for.

A woman with a dilapidated family and an unreliable husband, who can she rely on?Maybe only myself.

After leaving Aunt Mei's yard, seeing Ruan Yuyi's drooping eyelashes and looking unhappy, Mu Xiang said, "Miss, don't worry too much, Mr. Cheng likes Aunt Mei, her child, no matter how you say it, she will know how to do it." Be protective."

"I hope so," she whispered.

Royal Palace.

As night fell, the lights were about to go out, and the magnificent palace was surrounded by silence.

It is true that the harem is not full now, the Empress Dowager mentioned it to Jiang Huaiyang several times overtly and privately, but he always prevaricates it without a word, and if he talks too much, he walks away.

Da Wu's emphasis on filial piety is good, but the Queen Mother's son killed his father and brother. As a mother, the Queen Mother has no way to teach her children, and she can be regarded as half a sinful body.

In this way, how can one expect the new emperor to have any patience, it is really because of her hard work in managing the six palaces that she was not removed from the back seat.

Jiang Huaiyang came back from the Empress Dowager just now, even if she didn't like her in her heart, she still had a reputation, so she had to give her some face.

Seeing His Majesty's uneasy expression, the servants in the palace lowered their heads, pretending that they did not exist.

Outside, Wen Zhi knocked on the door twice before entering, followed by Imperial Physician Ning who came to ask for peace pulse.

After saluting, Imperial Physician Ning unloaded the consultation box, put it on his wrist, and asked, "How is your Majesty feeling recently, but you still have the same symptoms of dreaminess and depression as before?"

Jiang Huaiyang was silent for a while, "Sometimes it will be better." In fact, since he found out that the medicines of Imperial Physician Ning were not as effective as those taken by a little lady, he didn't take them anymore.

Hearing this, Imperial Physician Ning was somewhat uncertain.It's good, it's good, why does His Majesty still give him a problem.

Physician Zheng Ning was thinking about this moment, but a pair of weak and boneless hands, lips that were stained with juice and looked extraordinarily moist, and that voice that seemed to be able to penetrate into people's hearts suddenly appeared in his mind, "Your Highness" .

He didn't know if it was normal to have such thoughts about a woman he had only seen in dreams before, which surprised even himself.

He knew that she was someone else's wife—even though she and that person existed in name only, he was bound by it because of this, and couldn't get close or refuse.Let her approach again and again, but unconsciously pretend to be alienated.

He secretly made up his mind many times, only to say that Ming'er would not approach her again, so that the dream could be eradicated.But at that time, not only was he unable to do it, he even couldn't help but provide her with a chance to seduce someone.

He was upset, but it was inconvenient to talk about it with others.

Seeing that Jiang Huaiyang was in a daze, wondering what he was thinking about, Imperial Physician Ning had no choice but to call softly, "Your Majesty."

After he raised his eyelids, Imperial Physician Ning continued, "Your Majesty is in good health, as long as you don't bother yourself too much, just take the medicine on time."

Jiang Huaiyang hummed casually, watching Wen Zhi send people out of the hall.

It is not uncommon for Jiang Huaiyang to think day by day and dream at night, so when the lamp in the lantern palace is turned on, the little lady is entangled in his dream again.
