Noble First Daughter-in-law

Not long after, the palace gate opened, and the officials of the upper court filed in one by one. Soon, there were only empty carriages left in front of the crowded Hanguang gate, and the hosts waiting in front of the carriages. Those who come home from the next court, the leisurely attendants.

With a Shang Ruyi who could only hide in the carriage and gritted his teeth.

The words Yu Wenye left before leaving made her blush, her face was hot, and the scalding temperature could not go away for a long time, until after a long time, when she saw her young lady was still bored in the carriage, Tusheer felt a little nervous. Worried, she leaned against the window and asked softly, "Miss, are you alright?"

"No, it's fine."

"Then shall we go back?"

"...No."

Although there was still some resentment in his heart, Shang Ruyi stayed obediently.

Apart from the bickering and joking between the two just now, think about it after you calm down, this is the first time Yu Wenye asked her to accompany him to court, and he was not allowed to leave, so he must stay outside Daxing Palace and wait for him.It was indeed a little strange to say that he knew that he didn't sleep well last night and needed to catch up on sleep today, and Yu Wenye was not usually an inconsiderate person.

Could it be that there is any deep meaning in letting myself wait for him here?

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi couldn't help raising her hand and raised a corner of the curtain to look outside. Most of the surroundings were officials of all levels sent to court like them. Those whose homes were far away, the carriages continued to stay at the palace gate. In addition, they waited for the court meeting to pick up the master before returning home; and those guarding in front of the carriage were also coachmen, servants and maids. Because of boredom, some of them were leaning on the carriage to doze off, while others followed their relatives. There are no strange people or things to get together with familiar people and gossip.

So, there is no special meaning for Yu Wenye to ask himself to wait here?
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but gritted her teeth.

At this moment, Tushe'er leaned her head up and said with a smile: "Miss, my uncle and you are really inseparable for a moment, and I can't bear to let you go back even at this moment in the court."

Shang Ruyi's face turned hot, and she glared at her: "You are the only one who talks too much!"

After speaking, he shrank back.

Tusheer outside covered her mouth and smiled for a long time. Seeing that she refused to pay attention to her, she went to the front to talk to the driver to relieve the boredom. Although Shang Ruyi was a little bored in the carriage, she was embarrassed to go down. Tushe'er made fun of it, secondly, the people waiting outside are servants, if people know that she is a general's wife, ordered by the second rank, she is here waiting for her husband to come down, I'm afraid they will laugh at her too.

So he stayed in the carriage, and happened to not sleep well last night, so he leaned against the window and dozed off.

Time passed quickly, and after a while, footsteps and loud voices began to sound around.

Shang Ruyi fell into a drowsy sleep. She wanted to open her eyes, but was reluctant to wake up. She could only struggle in the chaos of half-dream and half-awake. After a while, she felt the carriage shake slightly, as if someone got into the carriage. .

Then, a familiar breath approached him.

Someone was watching her tenderly.

Shang Ruyi vaguely knew who it was, and she wanted to wake up, but being enveloped by such a breath, being stared at by such eyes, felt so comfortable, as if the ups and downs and dangers that would definitely come were all in this moment Disappeared, and also forgotten by myself, in the world, it seems that there is only a moment of peace and tranquility between two people in this small space.

She couldn't help showing a little smile in her sleep.

Immediately, there was a chuckle in his ear.

But at this moment, there was another sound of footsteps outside.

Although the footsteps were chaotic and people's voices were noisy, this burst of footsteps seemed a bit abrupt, as if they suddenly penetrated into this quiet and peaceful space, making Shang Ruyi feel a strange throbbing in his heart.

She woke up suddenly.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Yu Wenye who was close in front of him. His handsome face also revealed a complicated and dignified expression at this moment.

As soon as the two looked at each other, there was a voice of apologetic laughter from outside——

"General, please go slowly."

Shang Ruyi was taken aback, but the joy on Yu Wenye's face was slowly fading like the tide at low tide. He turned his face slightly and asked, "What's the matter?"

The people outside said: "Queen Mother, please come into the palace to tell the general."

"...!"

When Shang Ruyi heard it, her breathing sank.

Empress Dowager... Empress Dowager Jiang...?
She invited Yu Wenye into the palace for a talk?
By the way, I heard from Yu Wenyuan yesterday that when Yu Wenye stayed in Fufeng and refused to return to the court because of the 10,000+ surrendered troops, Ji Hong and other veterans were planning to impeach him. Fortunately, the Queen Mother stepped forward and suppressed the matter , and Yu Wenyuan also specifically told him to enter the palace today to thank him.

So now it's-

Shang Ruyi subconsciously looked up at Yu Wenye, and sure enough, a bright light flashed in his eyes.

The admiration when she was a teenager was the purest and cleanest. Even if she had felt bitterness and jealousy in her heart, but after the two of them exchanged their hearts in Dayan Temple, she was willing to help Yu Wenye's heart. A pure place, do not touch it.

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi let out a sigh of relief, raised her head and said to Yu Wenye: "You go—"

Before the word "bar" came out of his mouth, he heard Yu Wenye whisper: "Follow me."

"Ok?"

Shang Ruyi was taken aback.

But before she could react, Yu Wenye grabbed her wrist and pulled her off the carriage.As soon as he stood still, he saw a smiling servant standing in front of him. Although Shang Ruyi showed a surprised expression, he immediately bowed his hands respectfully to the two of them: "General, madam."

When Shang Ruyi saw this person, his heart suddenly moved——

This waiter is unfamiliar.

When she was in Luoyang before, Empress Jiang summoned herself to enter the palace several times, and she sent the same servant, Eunuch Lu, with whom Shang Ruyi was already acquainted; He stayed with Empress Dowager Jiang to serve, and he was also someone Shang Ruyi knew well.

But this one in front of him obviously hasn't seen much.

Shang Ruyi was wondering when she heard Yu Wenye say: "Unfortunately, I took my wife out today."

The waiter said: "The general means—"

Yu Wenye said: "When I was in Dongdu before, the queen mother also liked my wife's company. Since the queen mother summoned me today, I want to bring my wife into the palace together, I wonder if it is possible?"

"..."

The waiter immediately frowned.

After all, the courtiers were summoned into the palace by the Queen Mother, and they only had to be ordered. Who heard that one more person could be added; Great affection, and more importantly, his father is the prime minister Sheng Guogong who is now in power. His words are even more effective than some royal relatives.

And Yu Wenye said politely: "Eunuch Cao, can you?"

Eunuch Cao had a bitter face, looked at him, then at Shang Ruyi with a complicated expression, and finally said: "If that's the case, then please invite the general's wife to accompany you."

After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead: "Both, please."

Only then did Yu Wenye lower his head and said, "Let's go."

Shang Ruyi also looked up at him, and nodded silently.

The two followed the servant into the Hanguang gate.

Luoyang, the eastern capital, is roughly built according to Daxing City, and Ziwei Palace is nothing more than a slightly smaller Daxing Palace. Shang Ruyi has entered and exited Ziwei Palace several times before. Therefore, after entering the Daxing Palace this time, she is no stranger to everything around her.

It's just that the palace walls here are higher, and the palace is bigger and more magnificent.

Although Chu Yang moved his capital to Luoyang and left Daxing Palace here for more than ten years, the courtiers who stayed in Daxing Palace did not neglect, and still entered the palace every day as the emperor stayed at this time, and started to do things. The maids in the house also took care of the place in an orderly manner. The trees are towering, well-trimmed, and the palace is luxurious and beautiful, clean and tidy. Along the way, it is like the scene of the Eastern Capital reappearing in front of your eyes, but it adds a bit of delicacy in the dream. fantasy.

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but had a thought in his heart that shouldn't appear at all——

If nothing changes...

If Chu Yang is still in that beautiful and warm warm dock, stepping on that huge territory map, berating Fang Qiu, and pouring out his dreams to himself with high spirits...

in case……

"What are you thinking?"

A deep but calm voice suddenly rang in his ears, Shang Ruyi came back to his senses all of a sudden, and looked up to meet Yu Wenye's cold and sober eyes.

Suddenly, she woke up—

What are you thinking?
If Chu Yang is still there, maybe in Ziwei Palace, in Nuanwu, there will be the most beautiful scenery in the world.

But what will happen to the whole world?
Maybe she lingers on that bit of warmth, but reality and reason are telling her that no matter what, that "if" should never appear again!

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi shook her head lightly: "No, I didn't think about anything."

"..."

Yu Wenye looked down at her, fell silent for a while, didn't say anything, just continued to walk forward.

Shang Ruyi stopped thinking wildly and concentrated her mind. She walked along the familiar yet unfamiliar avenue, which was big enough for four carriages to walk in parallel. After a while, she saw a tall palace gate on the right hand side not far ahead. .

On the gate of the palace, there are three big characters dripping with ink - Xuande Gate.

And in her memory, in the Ziwei Palace in Luoyang, that door was called Anning Gate.

Pass through that door and enter the Queen's East Palace.

Just when they were about to follow that Eunuch Cao and turn into Xuande Gate, Shang Ruyi suddenly stopped subconsciously and looked towards the front of the avenue.

In the distance, almost out of sight, there seems to be a tall and majestic palace gate.

There is a wide square in front of the palace gate, with countless pine trees planted on both sides, forming a lush forest. From a distance, it seems that there are countless tall and mighty guards standing there, waiting quietly for something.

Shang Ruyi's heartbeat suddenly increased, and she subconsciously said, "Where is—"

Eunuch Cao also looked up.

He said: "There is the Xuanwu Gate."
