Noble First Daughter-in-law

The autumn rain fell all night and finally stopped in the early morning.However, even though the rain stopped, the rainwater gathering on the eaves continued to drip down like broken beads, washing the bluestone slabs under the eaves clean, and making a steady and pleasant crackling sound. Voice.

The wind didn't stop, and after blowing the surrounding pines and cypresses to rustle, it suddenly intensified again, blowing open a window that was ajar.

Suddenly, the raindrops dripping from the eaves were blown away, turning into fine mist and drifting into the room, covering the face of Tusheer who was sleeping on the bed by the window.

"Uh-wow!"

A burst of coolness immediately stimulated her to wake up.

Her low cry also woke up Chang Wan and Wuxue on the other two beds in the room. The two of them barely opened their eyes and saw Tusheer turning over and sitting up, wiping the rain on his face with his hands. He muttered angrily: "What, you poured it on my face so early in the morning, it's really annoying!"

Chang Wan rubbed her eyes and said, "What's wrong?"

Tu Sheer pouted and said, "The window was not closed tightly, and the wind blew the rain in, and it drenched my face."

Chang Wan got out of bed and walked over to take a look. It was not the case. Moreover, the rain that drifted in through the cracks in the window wetted Tu Sheer's bedding a lot.She smiled and shook her head and said, "That's how it is to sleep on a bed by the window. You have to remember to close the window tightly, otherwise when it rains, the bed will be soaked in water."

Tu Sheer said: "But I just can't remember it."

Chang Wan reached out to help her close the window tightly, looked down at her and said, "How about changing back? I'll sleep here, and you'll sleep on your original bed?"

Tusheer thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't want it."

"why?"

"It's best for me to sleep on a rainy day. I often miss the time and get scolded by my wife. I don't dare to do this after entering the palace. I fall asleep by the window. If it really rains, the sound of rain can wake me up."

Hearing what she said, Chang Wan laughed out loud, and even Wuxue, who was never very joking, pursed his lips.

While they were talking, they also heard the sound of palace people walking and busy outside. The three of them did not dare to neglect, and immediately got up to wash up. After making the bed, they prepared copper basins and towels, then got hot water, and went to Qianqiu. In the main hall of the palace, King Qin and Princess Qin stood up.

Originally, after entering the palace, the maids should live in Yongxiang. However, the maids brought by the King of Han and King Qin from the Duke's Mansion were all personal servants. They were different from the ordinary palace people in the palace, so they were placed in Chengqian Hall and She lives in a row house in the backyard of Qianqiu Palace. Although this place is more spacious than the servants' room in the Duke's Mansion, the furnishings are simpler. As soon as Tusheer came in, she couldn't help but complain a few words, but was persuaded by Chang Wan. He also gave her his bed by the window, which led to the laughter this morning.

The three of them walked from the backyard to the front hall, which was only a few steps away. When they entered the hall, they saw that the two of them had already stood up.

In fact, Yu Wenye had already dressed up and walked to the open space in front of the hall to start practicing his sword. Chang Wan immediately stood aside and prepared to serve. Tu Sheer entered the inner hall and saw Shang Ruyi's cheeks were a little red and he was sitting by the bed. Daze.

She immediately stepped forward: "Princess, what's wrong?"

"……Um?"

Shang Ruyi slowly raised his head to look at her. For some reason, his face turned a little redder, which startled Tu Sheer. He immediately came forward and reached out to touch her forehead. Sure enough, she felt a little hot.

She immediately said: "Princess, are you sick? Do you have a fever?"

Shang Ruyi waved his hand: "No."

"Then, why is your face so red and so hot?"

"I just, just woke up, it's hot."

"Hot? It rained last night and it was quite cold."

Tu Sheer was puzzled and looked at the bed. There was only a thin quilt, and it had been thrown to the corner of the bed. It seemed that it had not been covered all night. It didn't look like it could make Shang Ruyi warm. This makes the cheeks red.

At this time, Shang Ruyi became a little "impatient" and pushed her and said: "Don't look around. Quickly help me wash up."

"okay."

Tusheer didn't know what she was thinking, so he could only help her out of bed immediately. The water in the basin was not too hot, but it was just right for Shang Ruyi. The warm water splashed onto her still hot face. , but it immediately lowered her temperature, and her face became less red.After she finished washing and sat in front of the dressing table, Tusheer immediately came over to comb her long hair. By this time, she looked as usual.

Tusheer said: "Miss, what are you going to do today?"

Shang Ruyi said: "The emperor has given orders. Today we will entertain officials who have made great achievements in controlling the plague. It seems that they will also go to the inner court to play, and we will all follow them."

Tu Sheer's eyes lit up when he heard this: "A trip to the inner court? Can I follow you?"

Shang Ruyi said: "If you become mute, I will take you there."

Tu Sheer immediately pouted.

Seeing her aggrieved look in the bronze mirror, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but laugh.

At this moment, Yu Wenye had finished practicing his sword and walked in from outside wiping his sweat.Although the weather was slightly cool, he was still sweating profusely after practicing a set of sword skills and his face was slightly red. As soon as he entered the inner hall, his burly figure was immediately reflected on the bronze mirror in front of Shang Ruyi.

The two pairs of bright eyes were connected to each other almost involuntarily.

At this moment, Shang Ruyi inevitably recalled the morning when she was gradually awakened from her deep sleep by the sound of people walking around in the palace outside. The moment she opened her eyes, she was so confused that she didn't even figure out where she was. He met the pair of eyes so close at hand that should have been cold and indifferent, but were inexplicably filled with hot emotions.

The blazing temperature seemed to spread from her eyes to her heart just by looking at her.

Shang Ruyi woke up immediately after being burned, but remained motionless, just looking at him stupidly.

Then, as the other party's increasingly hot breath gradually restored her consciousness, she was suddenly shocked to realize that she had slipped into his arms without knowing when, holding his thin waist tightly with both hands, as if to prevent her from moving. One of Yu Wenye's hands was also holding her back, and their bodies were tightly pressed together without any gaps.

No wonder, it's not cold at all.

Not only was she not cold, in her sleep, she felt that her whole body was immersed in the warm spring river several times. The river water slowly flowed past, brushing against her skin, bringing a smooth and gentle touch, making her feel comfortable and soft. Even until this moment, there are still waves of numbness remaining in the body.

Immediately, Shang Ruyi's face became a little hot again.

"what?"

Tusheer tilted his head, looked at Shang Ruyi in the bronze mirror, blinked and said, "Miss, why is your face red again? Is it true that you have a fever? Do you want a doctor to take a look?"

"...!"

Shang Ruyi was angry and resentful, and just wanted to drag this girl down and beat her up.

What made her even more angry was that Yu Wenye's figure reflected in the bronze mirror seemed to be stagnant, but he didn't look at her anymore and turned his head to wash up.Shang Ruyi gritted his teeth and whispered: "Have all the rules I taught you gone into the dog's belly? You still talk so much after entering the palace. Do you deserve a spanking?"

Tushe'er didn't expect her to be so fierce. On the first day she moved into the palace, she got Princess Qin's money. She didn't dare to say anything. She shrank her neck, lowered her head obediently and combed her hair into a bun, and then looked downcast. 's retreated.

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath to calm down a bit.

After a while, Yu Wenye also finished washing and changed his clothes. The palace people had already placed breakfast on the low table on the side of the inner hall. Because they were now the King of Qin and the Princess of Qin, they all ate according to the proportion of the princes in the palace. The usual arrangements were more than double the ones at the Duke's Mansion, and the table was fully laid out, as sumptuous as a usual feast.The two of them walked over and took a look, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Shang Ruyi looked at Yu Wenye, and Yu Wenye also looked at her, and then said: "There are too many here."

The palace servant who served the meal hurriedly smiled and said: "Back to King Qin, this is the breakfast meal for the prince and princess in the palace, no more, no less."

Yu Wenye said: "I don't need so much here. Starting from tomorrow, half of it will be withdrawn."

"This--"

The palace man hesitated for a moment, but when he thought about it, if he asked for too much, it would be over the limit, but if he asked for too little, it would not be a sin. At most, he would suffer a loss, and he had no need to persuade him, so he immediately said with a smile: "Yes. .”

Yu Wenye waved his hand, and the palace man immediately withdrew.

The two of them sat down at the table.

Usually the two of them eat relatively simply, but when there is a lot of food, they don't know how to eat with chopsticks. In the end, Yu Wenye picked up the chopsticks in front of him, squeezed them tightly, and then said to Shang Ruyi: "Eat."

"……Um."

Shang Ruyi tried her best to look calm. Although the color on her cheeks was beyond her control, the two of them finished their breakfast in silence.

After a while, Eunuch Yu brought someone over to deliver the message.

It is said that today the emperor originally summoned several officials who had contributed to controlling the plague to the palace to accompany him on a tour of the inner court. This could be regarded as a reward for these meritorious officials. However, he suddenly had important matters to deal with, so he asked the King of Han and the King of Qin to Do it for you.

Before leaving, Eunuch Yu said with a smile: "The two of you who are familiar with King Qin will be here soon."

Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi both nodded in agreement, and then sent Eunuch Yu away. Seeing his back disappear outside the palace gate, Shang Ruyi turned to look at Yuwen Ye: "Are the two Eunuch Yu mentioned--" "

Yu Wenye said: "Who else could it be?"

Shang Ruyi pursed his lips and smiled.

After a while, I saw two familiar figures appearing outside the door of the hall. It was Shen Wuzheng and Pei Xingyuan. Although they were walking side by side, I could clearly feel that these two figures were moving and still. Shen Wuzheng's figure was upright. While walking forward without squinting, Pei Xingyuan looked at the scenery around him and said with a smile: "The scenery here is really good, much better than the small courtyard of the Duke's Mansion."

Shen Wuzheng said: "Why did you promise me? Do you have to talk less when you enter the palace?"

"Uh--"

Just as they were talking, the two looked up and saw Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi coming out of the hall.

As soon as he saw them, Pei Xingyuan's eyes also lit up, but Shen Wuzheng beside him coughed slightly, stopping his extraordinary behavior. He could only follow him obediently. The two of them stepped forward at the same time, kowtowed and saluted: " Pay homage to His Highness the King of Qin, and pay homage to the Princess of Qin."

Yu Wenye hurriedly stepped forward to help them up: "No courtesy."

Pei Xingyuan immediately beamed: "Look, Feng Chen is still humane. Let me tell you, he is not the kind of person who will not be close to us after becoming the King of Qin. He is still the same as before."

Shen Wuzheng shook his head helplessly.

Even Yu Wenye shook his head, and then said: "When we are alone, we are naturally the same as before, but in front of outsiders, you have to know what you should do. If you are punished for being rude, I will not save you."

Pei Xingyuan smiled and said, "This is natural."

After saying that, he looked up at Shang Ruyi, who was looking at them with a smile, his bright eyes curled into crescent moons, and said with a smile: "Princess, is everything okay?"

Shang Ruyi smiled and said: "Okay. Brother, Mr. Pei, please come into the palace."

The two of them nodded and were led into Qianqiu Palace by them.

Pei Xingyuan and Shen Wuzheng both spent a period of their childhood in Chang'an City, but neither of them had ever entered the palace. At most, they had been in front of the palace gate. They knew that this Daxing Palace was better than the Ziwei of Luoyang that they were more familiar with later. The palace is much taller and grander, but when you really come in and see the scenery inside, you can understand the valleys in the hearts of those who built Daxing Palace back then.

Pei Xingyuan even sighed: "This Qianqiu Palace really deserves the name 'Qianqiu'."

While they were talking, Chang Wan and Tu Sheer came forward to serve tea and snacks. Pei Xingyuan took a sip from the teacup and then said: "I heard that Qianqiu Palace is one of the few palaces that has not changed its name. ”

Yu Wenye nodded.

Pei Xingyuan added: "I heard that His Majesty has changed the names of many palaces, especially -"

Having said this, he fell silent, and the eyes of the three people sitting around the table suddenly flickered.

Yu Wenye said: "You also know?"

Pei Xingyuan said: "Of course."

"The news spread so quickly?"

"It's not that word travels fast,"

Shen Wuzheng on the side said calmly: "When we entered the palace, we also met other people entering the palace. We came to Qianqiu Palace, but the others were led to Jixian Palace."

When Shang Ruyi heard this, he immediately said: "The others are -"

Shen Wuzheng raised his head to look at her and said softly: "The main character of Jixian Palace is Yu Mingyue."

"Jixian Hall?"

When Shang Ruyi heard this unfamiliar name, his eyes widened in surprise. Shen Wuzheng smiled patiently and said, "Your Majesty has changed the name of the Academy of Chinese Studies to Jixian Hall, and Yu Mingyue has been canonized as the official name of Jixian Hall."

"..."

"She is currently the only female official in Jixian Hall."

Shang Ruyi was a little surprised and subconsciously looked at Yu Wenye, but there was not much surprise in their surprised eyes.

Yu Mingyue's canonization is indeed not a surprise.

Even they could see the extraordinary features and unsolvable confusions in Yu Mingyue, not to mention Yu Wenyuan. For an emperor, a woman with such outstanding abilities and a special relationship with her eldest son, naturally You can't escape his eyes.

However, as the eldest daughter of the Yu family, Yu Mingyue had no reason to appear by his side all the time. The best way was to confer her with an official position that was neither big nor small, but required to serve in front of the emperor from time to time.

Therefore, he was looking at Yu Mingyue for Yu Wenzei's sake.
