Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 279 It's Not Good If You Can't Keep Up
Hearing this, Eunuch Lu's complexion also changed, he hurriedly reached out his hand to stop Shang Ruyi from continuing to walk in, and said softly: "Oh, why did Uncle Guo suddenly enter the palace. This—Ma'am, let's wait a moment."

Shang Ruyi nodded, but her heart skipped a beat.

Uncle Guo?
That is, Empress Jiang's brother?

It is said that Empress Jiang lost her parents when she was young and has no siblings. This "uncle of the country" is——

Just as I was thinking in my heart, the voice of the "Uncle Guo" came from inside again, and he said with a bit of displeasure: "Because of your illness, you have to delay your journey, and you can't go with your majesty. Going to Jiangdu, Your Royal Highness Princess and His Royal Highness Zhao Wang were also left behind by you, and I was so tired that I had to guard you. Who doesn’t know that the one who is with His Majesty is a trusted friend, and you are like this...don’t you hurt my brother and me?"

Shang Ruyi frowned even tighter.

Empress Jiang couldn't go with the emperor because of illness?Even Princess Xinyue and Zhao Wang Chu Chengfei stayed with her?
There was a light coughing sound from inside, and Empress Jiang's voice could be heard to be very weak. After coughing for a long time, she slowly said, "Chongen, I don't want to delay your future. There are many officials, and it is difficult to have any chance to make a difference. If you stay in Dongdu, maybe there is another world?"

Jiang Chongen immediately sneered and said: "There is no other world? Who doesn't know that Liang Shide is about to call, and there are Lei's father and daughter to help him! That Lei Yi was the general of the left guard, and he was responsible for the city defense deployment of the Eastern Capital. How understanding! If I fold here, you will be happy, right?"

"..."

Empress Jiang didn't speak any more, she just coughed unceasingly, but the coughing sound was much more suppressed than before.

"rest assured,"

"Yeah, loyal words are harsh..."

"But what?"

It's the kind of beauty that makes people unable to help but be moved!
She was even stunned for a while, but Empress Jiang had already smiled and said to her: "Ruyi, you are here."

She reached out and patted the edge of the bed.

After that, the two of them chatted for a while, but they didn't say anything more important.

Shang Ruyi thought for a while and said, "If it's soon, I should be at Yuanwu. But—"

Only then did Shang Ruyi come back to her senses, and hurried forward to salute. Empress Jiang slightly raised her hand and said, "At this time, I don't want these empty gestures. Come, come and sit down."

"..."

Empress Jiang smiled, and suddenly covered her mouth and coughed twice. Shang Ruyi hurriedly reached out to support her. Feeling that she was a little thinner, he boldly stroked her protruding back and said softly: : "Your Majesty, you should take good care of your phoenix body."

"..."

Shang Ruyi frowned into a pimple, almost couldn't help but go in and curse!
No matter what Jiang Chong'en thinks, the queen is a queen after all, he doesn't have any respect in his tone, and he doesn't even have any compassion for his sick sister, it's just ruthless!
However, she still managed herself.

It turned out that the queen also died of her parents when she was young, and she was brought up by the elders of her relatives.

And the ripples are also gentle and smiling.

Shang Ruyi's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Thank you, Ma'am!"

"……Yes."

Seeing the different expression on Shang Ruyi's face, she thought for a while, and said with a faint smile, "Just now, I made you laugh."

Empress Jiang's weak breath revealed a kind of determination that seemed to be in her bones, and said: "I don't want to be sick for too long."

After all, this is Empress Jiang's family matter, it sounds inappropriate for them to listen here, if they want to intervene again, it really shouldn't be.

Shang Ruyi's heart trembled slightly.

Shang Ruyi walked in step by step, and finally saw the thin and pale figure on the bed.

"what?"

But now, she also started calling him Feng Chen because he told her clearly that night - at this time, she could call him Feng Chen.

Empress Jiang said: "Everything is going well?"

"Oh."

Empress Jiang said: "This is reasonable. Then, you can go tomorrow, and go back early."

Empress Jiang slowly fell back, and Shang Ruyi hurriedly took a pillow beside her to cushion her. She panted for a while, finally calmed down, and then smiled and said, "Speaking of which, your Fuguo University The general has been on the expedition for several days, and I don’t know where he is now.”

Empress Jiang smiled and nodded.

Empress Jiang sighed, and said: "Great kindness to him, he is Ben Gong's cousin——Ben Gong lost his father when he was young, and grew up in his uncle's house. I have watched him grow up with great kindness. This child , It is inevitable that he is a little arrogant, I always advise him not to be too ambitious, but he just doesn't listen."

Thinking of that night, Shang Ruyi's face suddenly became hot.

Jiang Chongen snorted, turned around and walked out.

Shang Ruyi said: "His Royal Highness is so filial, she must be able to move the gods and Buddhas, and the empress will recover soon."

I don't know why, the words sounded relieved, even relaxed, but Shang Ruyi listened, but a feather seemed to fall on her heart, obviously it didn't matter, but it seemed to faintly press her down.

Of course, maybe not feeling.

As soon as he left, Eunuch Lu immediately went in to report. Immediately, Empress Jiang's gentle voice sounded from inside: "Ruyi is here. Come in."

Shang Ruyi lowered her head, and said with a bit of timidity: "Fengchen's heart is only about the important matter of leading the army to fight, and I am willing to listen to it, so he has nothing to do, so he can talk about it."

Having said that, she paused for a moment, thought for a while, and smiled again: "It's nothing."

This is the first time she has entered the inner hall of the Queen's East Palace. The interior layout is simpler than the outside, but there is a dressing table, a low table, and a bed against a screen. There are only a few layers hanging from the beams. The veil adds an indiscernible sense of complexity to the empty inner hall.

She is so similar to her own background...

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi hurriedly confessed, stepped forward and sat down.

Shang Ruyi nodded.

When he saw Shang Ruyi, he rolled his eyes and left without saying anything.

Shang Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and then thought again—she was talking about herself and Yu Wenye.

She looked at Shang Ruyi with a smile, and after a while, she said softly: "It seems that the relationship between you two is better than before."

"However, he said that he would first go to Xingluo warehouse to obtain food and grass for this expedition. I am afraid that he will delay there for a day or two."

Shang Ruyi lifted his spirits and hurried in.

"Fengchen, this kid——"

Empress Jiang was sitting on the bed, looking at her with a smile.

When Empress Jiang's cough finally calmed down, she gasped and said softly, "Chongen, you will know the painstaking efforts of this palace. Now, you should go back first. I have guests here, and they will arrive soon."

Empress Jiang smiled and said, "I hope so."

Shang Ruyi hurriedly said, "How dare Ruyi?"

When Empress Jiang heard this, her eyes, which were as soft as spring water, seemed to be touched by something, causing ripples.

After thinking about it again, she came back to her senses. It seemed that she called Yu Wenye "Second Brother" in front of everyone. This was what she called Gu Ran casually at the beginning. Princess Yue's address for him coincided, which sounded close, but in her heart, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

"..."

This was the first time that Shang Ruyi felt that Empress Jiang not only had the dignity and beauty of a queen, but also had the beauty of a woman.

Shang Ruyi thought for a while, and said: "Everything is okay. It's just that the Zhuangzi outside the city was left to Ruyi by my father. If I really want to tour Jiangdu with His Majesty this time, it will be difficult to come back for a while. Ruyi wants to go and have a look and resettle Look at the people over there."

As soon as he walked over, he bumped into Shang Ruyi and Eunuch Lu. Only then did Shang Ruyi see clearly that Jiang Chongen was about thirty years old. Turning up habitually gives people a feeling of infidelity.

Immediately, she felt that she shouldn't be thinking of that kind of thing at this time, and her face was a little cold in an instant. Under the blow of cold and heat, her face was also red and white at times, I don't know if others could see it.

Empress Jiang laughed again and said, "Actually, Xinyue was supposed to come over to meet you, but she went to the temple to pray for the palace today, so there was no time to meet."

Shang Ruyi glanced at her with flickering eyes.

These four words seem to have evoked something on Empress Jiang's mind, and the smile on her face added a bit of bitterness, but she seemed unwilling to indulge in such bitter emotions, and looked up at Shang Ruyi again, He said softly: "I heard that the Duke also took away the third son of your family. Now, you are the only one left in your family."

Empress Jiang looked at her quietly for a while, and then said softly: "Seeing that your little husband and wife are in harmony, I feel relieved."

Empress Jiang smiled and said, "He even told you this?"

She was wearing a light yellow gown, the room was warm enough, and the clothes were not too thick, which made her look thinner and thin, and her lips were bloodless, but even so, the gentle aura emanating from her body still made her feel like spring water Generally gentle and charming, especially with a morbid blush on her cheeks due to the violent coughing, at this moment, she reveals a kind of - a different kind of beauty.

Shang Ruyi regained her composure, and said softly: "Faithful words are harsh to the ear, and the painstaking efforts of the empress are not something everyone can spare."

Shang Ruyi hesitated for a moment. Although the two of them were considered close, she was still a little uneasy because of the difference in respect and inferiority. On the contrary, Empress Jiang smiled and said, "I called you here when I was sick, but I just didn't see you. If you If you meet with me, you will let me down."

About half an hour later, seeing Empress Jiang was weak and tired, Shang Ruyi stood up and said goodbye. Empress Jiang asked Eunuch Lu to come and see her out of the palace, and urged her repeatedly to send her back to Yuwen Mansion.

Shang Ruyi said: "Thank you, Madam, for remembering."

Empress Jiang sat on the bed and said softly: "Ruyi, you have to manage the time when you go out of the city to that Zhuangzi. Your Majesty will leave in six days, so don't miscalculate the date to come back—if you can't make it , are not good."

Shang Ruyi looked at her and said softly, "Ruyi understands."
