Noble First Daughter-in-law

Upon hearing this voice, Shang Ruyi suddenly felt a numbness in his back.

The graceful figure standing under the eaves and calling softly to Chu Chengfei who was running was none other than the Eldest Princess Chu Ruoyan.

I saw that she was wearing a tea-white long dress with ginkgo dark patterns, with lightly swaying cloud sleeves, and a slender waist slowly twisted. Even without heavy makeup and gold and jade ornaments, it did not damage her noble temperament at all, and she stood gracefully like an elegant and refined river bank pear blossom.

But seeing her, Shang Ruyi's mood has never been calm.

At this moment, it also adds a bit of heaviness.

After Chu Ruoyan said those words, she saw Shang Ruyi in her star eyes, and a faint smile appeared on that delicate face, as if she was sure of winning.

She said: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Shang has arrived."

Upon hearing her words, Chu Chengfei, who was chasing the crane, also stopped, looked back at Shang Ruyi with a dignified expression, and looked at the crane flying away with some reluctance, and then heaved a sigh of relief , walked slowly in front of Shang Ruyi, looked at her with arrogance and displeasure, and said, "You are here."

Shang Ruyi hurriedly knelt down and bowed down: "My wife pays homage to Your Majesty, and to the Eldest Princess!"

Chu Chengfei didn't speak immediately, but just looked down at her, and Shang Ruyi didn't dare to move, just knelt quietly like this, after a long time, he heard Chu Chengfei snorted softly, and said coldly: "Get up!" Let's go." After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the Hall of Liangyi.

Shang Ruyi stood up slowly and walked over.

Although the outside was not proper, and it became a mess, after all, Liangyi Hall was the emperor's living place, and besides the early court, the emperor usually summoned the ministers in this place, so the interior layout was extraordinarily solemn and tidy.As soon as Chu Chengfei walked in, he immediately sat on the seat directly above him. However, his sitting posture was a little crooked, leaning obliquely on a pillow, which was comfortable but lost all dignity.

Seeing his appearance, Shang Ruyi's brows became even tighter.

If it was her own family members who did this, even if it was Yu Wencheng, she would stop it, but the emperor in front of her was the emperor, so she naturally didn't have the right to talk too much.

On the other hand, the eldest princess who had already sat on the other side said softly: "Your Majesty, this must not be the case."

Chu Chengfei pouted and said, "The queen mother is not here again."

The eldest princess said: "That's not okay. If you get used to doing this, you will do the same when your mother comes back. Wouldn't it make her angry?"

"..."

Hearing what she said, Chu Chengfei had no choice but to ask people to remove the pillow, sat up straight depressed and unhappy, and muttered in his mouth: "I'm already the emperor, and I still have to be taken care of." , not as happy as before. Is it boring for the emperor to do this?"

Chu Ruoyan turned a blind eye to his complaint, and turned to Shang Ruyi with a smile: "Madam Shang, please sit down."

The second time when she heard the words "Mrs. Shang", Shang Ruyi's thoughts became more clear-since she came out of the cabinet, outsiders called her, Mrs. Yuwen, Mrs. General , and Chu Ruoyan has always called herself "sister" before, which is not suitable for etiquette, but kind.

But now, it is "Mrs. Shang".

But Shang Ruyi is very clear that the greatest significance of this title is that these three words cannot find any relationship with Yuwen's family.

She took a deep breath and didn't say much, she just walked slowly to the opposite of Chu Ruoyan, and sat down after apologizing.

Then, stop talking.

A woman like her was summoned into the palace, so naturally she couldn't speak casually, she could only wait for the emperor and the eldest princess to ask questions, and then respond, but at this time, the two people on the opposite side didn't speak, and the atmosphere in the Hall of Liangyi was a little quiet weird.

I don't know how long it took before I heard Chu Chengfei's impatient voice from the main hall: "I heard that you just went to the prison of the Ministry of punishment to see your uncle?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi hurriedly got up and knelt down.

"I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

"..."

"The minister's wife knows that this is not appropriate, but—"

"You don't have to be afraid."

Although Shang Ruyi called "Your Majesty", it was still the Eldest Princess who answered her at this time, and Chu Ruoyan said with a smile: "We all know that this is your filial piety as a junior, madam. I won't blame you. Get up."

"...Thank you, princess."

Shang Ruyi got up and sat back down again.

Seeing her panic-stricken look, Chu Ruoyan's face showed an unstoppable smile. Although she was slowly complacent, but because of her delicate and charming nature, that smile was also overwhelming. , too beautiful to behold.

She said: "Since you are so filial, it should be because you want to rescue your uncle."

"It's natural."

"Then do you understand how to rescue your uncle?"

"My wife is stupid, so I can only ask Your Majesty and Your Highness the Princess to forgive my uncle's unintentional words. Although he offended His Majesty, it was for His Majesty's country. The ominous signs are worrying."

As soon as the prophecy was mentioned, Chu Chengfei's face changed suddenly.

With a trembling of his hand, he knocked down the cup on the table in front of him, and the tea inside spilled all over the table.

The person next to him hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, and then stepped forward to wipe it.

For a moment, the Hall of Liangyi was filled with a somewhat tense and flustered atmosphere, and Shang Ruyi could see clearly that Chu Chengfei's face was pale and he was trembling with fright.

Although he is willful and reckless, he is still young after all.

Even the talented and bold Emperor Wen was frightened by the astrology of Bo Xing in his later years, let alone this child.

However, it was also true, how could such a panic-stricken child, who could even scare the prophecy, put down the rebellion in such a chaotic situation, and make the world surrender?

She understood more and more that Shen Shiyan's worries were not groundless.

Seeing Chu Chengfei's complexion changed drastically, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak, Chu Ruoyan's eyes flickered slightly on the other side, and he immediately said seriously: "Your Majesty, there is no star in this world who can cause disasters in this world." The truth is nothing more than scaremongering by someone with a heart.”

"Really, Miss Huang?"

"of course."

These two words of hers were not only determined, but even when she said them, there was a bit of gnashing of teeth, which surprised Shang Ruyi.After all, Princess Xinyue has always been well protected by her father, emperor and queen mother. She is an innocent woman who doesn't know the sufferings of the people, but only knows the wind, flowers, snow and moon. Logically speaking, she should believe in celestial phenomena, and even more in gods and Buddhas. people.

Sure enough, not only Shang Ruyi was surprised, Chu Chengfei also looked at his sister with wide eyes in surprise, and asked, "But, sister, you used to believe in gods and Buddhas the most, didn't you also believe in those astrology?"

"..."

"I remember you told me, what Red Luan star..."

"..."

"Why, don't you believe it now?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi also looked at Chu Ruoyan, but saw her biting her lower lip, a bit of resentment and unwillingness appeared on her delicate and charming face, and said coldly: "If the astrology can really predict the blessings and misfortunes of the world, Then why—there is no sign of the fall of the Eastern Capital? Father Huang Bintian, there is no sign either?"

"..."

"God, I won't help people at all!"

"...!"

Her last words shocked Shang Ruyi.

Unexpectedly, Chu Ruoyan thought so.

Therefore, the shock brought to her by the Eastern Capital Rebellion and the pain caused by Chu Yang's death made her no longer believe that gods and Buddhas would protect the world, and as shown by the astrology, she no longer believed.

This is a kind of letting go after learning from the pain.

Then she must have been very sad and painful at the beginning, which caused her belief to collapse, and her belief has also undergone earth-shaking changes...

Recalling the flames of war back then, and the bloody night in Jiangdu Palace, Shang Ruyi's breathing became more and more heavy, but when she was a little lost, Chu Ruoyan immediately recovered her mind and looked up again. When Xiang Shang Ruyi, his eyes had already calmed down.

She said: "What we are going to talk about today is not astrology."

"..."

"Mrs. Shang, do you know how to save your uncle?"

At this time, it's time to get straight to the point, or——the time to see each other.Shang Ruyi took a deep breath and looked into those bright eyes: "Please make it clear, Eldest Princess."

Chu Ruoyan smiled sweetly, and winked at Chu Chengfei.

Chu Chengfei immediately waved: "Give it to her."

As soon as the words fell, an eunuch walked out behind him, holding a document in both hands and slowly walked in front of Shang Ruyi, Shang Ruyi only hesitated for a moment, and immediately picked it up to read, it was a document drafted by the Ministry of Education .

The above text is also quite simple——

An imperial edict was given to Zhongshumen, saying that Princess Xinyue is gentle, respectful, thrifty and kind, with a dignified appearance and prudent manners, and she is in her young age.Here is the second son of Sheng Guogong, General Tiance, bravely crowned the three armies, invincible in all battles, meritorious service in the court, for my humerus, suitable for marriage, he is the choice of son-in-law on behalf of heaven...

Before reading it, Shang Ruyi closed the document with a "snap".

This is an imperial decree of marriage!

Her face was slightly pale, and she gasped for a while before she managed to stabilize her mind. Then she raised her head and saw Chu Ruoyan, who was opposite her, smiled, looked at her calmly, and said, "This is the document drafted by the Secretary of State for Your Majesty." The imperial decree of the imperial court can only be read clearly and stamped with a seal, and it can be read in the hall tomorrow. Your uncle's lies are ominous, and only the great joy in the palace can dispel such ominousness and spare your uncle's life. "

"..."

"do you understand?"

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath and said, "I don't understand."

"...!?"

Hearing these few words, Chu Chengfei and Chu Ruoyan's expressions changed, Chu Chengfei immediately frowned, and anger appeared on his small face like turning the pages of a book: "What did you say?"

Shang Ruyi held the document tightly with her fingertips, her knuckles turned white, and when she spoke again, her voice was so calm that she even doubted that it was not her voice: "I I don’t understand, Your Majesty is wise, and the Princess is wise, how could they never have imagined that even if this imperial decree is promulgated, it may not be able to take shape.”

"..."

"Because there is still me."
