Noble First Daughter-in-law

A cold autumn rain.

After autumn, several drizzles fell one after another, and the weather became cooler and colder. In fact, for someone like Shang Ruyi who was pregnant in the summer and suffered from the heat, such cool weather was just right, but because she was worried about catching the cold She caught a cold, and before October arrived, a stove was put on the stove for her in Qianqiu Palace.

Chu Ruoyan, who came to visit her, broke out in sweat as soon as she sat down.

Seeing how she kept wiping the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, Shang Ruyi felt something was wrong, so she said to Tusheer, "Take the stove away, I'm so hot."

Tusheer frowned when he heard this: "This is not possible. His Highness has told you that the princess cannot be without this."

"But--"

"If the princess catches a cold, it's the slaves who will be scolded!"

Now that she has a big backer like Yu Wenye, she often suppresses Shang Ruyi with force and force, not allowing her to do this and not allowing her to do that. Shang Ruyi simply can't do anything to her. When Chu Ruoyan on the side heard these words, There was a hint of loneliness in her eyes, but she also smiled and said: "Princess, you don't have to worry about me, your body is more important."

Shang Ruyi could only smile awkwardly.

In fact, it was awkward for her and Chu Ruoyan to sit opposite each other like this, no matter what they did, but because the day of confinement was coming, Chu Ruoyan should come here to pay her respects as usual, so the two of them could only hold back a few words. , but thinking of what happened before, Shang Ruyi was still very grateful to her.

She said: "Thanks to you before."

Chu Ruoyan shook his head and smiled: "I didn't do anything."

After saying that, she looked at Shang Ruyi again and said softly: "So that day, King Qi really wanted to use that wine pot -"

Shang Ruyi nodded gently.

Hearing this, Chu Ruoyan frowned.

Shang Ruyi knew that Empress Dowager Jiang had always protected her children very well, but no matter how well she protected them, after experiencing the loss of her country and her family, Chu Ruoyan could no longer be as innocent and innocent as before. From this time, Hawthorn She took the initiative to take the blame for the bad thing, and as soon as she learned about the appearance of the wine pot, she immediately sent Panqing to inform her. It can be seen that she has also changed a lot.

After a moment of silence, Chu Ruoyan said softly: "The future of my second brother may not be easy."

Shang Ruyi said: "If it's difficult to leave, we have to leave. At this time, we have no way out."

She said that "we" here are not just her and Yu Wenye, but also Chu Ruoyan. In the illusion she saw when she was seriously ill, after the prince lost power, almost all the people in the prince's residence were spared. Whether it was Yu Wenye or whoever was responsible for the killing, she never doubted the authenticity of the matter. The battle for imperial power had always been so cruel and bloody. For example, once Yu Wenye lost power in the future, she would not doubt her fate. How good.

Chu Ruoyan's identity is more sensitive and special. Behind her, there are Empress Dowager Jiang and Chu Chengfei who are hiding in Yanchun Palace.

She understood better the importance of Yu Wenye.

Moreover, Shang Ruyi has not fully told her that the difficulties faced by King Qin now are not only that Yu Wenzui is about to officially marry Yu Mingyue, but also that the prince's power will further grow. Mu Xian and others will not receive any rewards in the battle of Longmen Crossing. And by sending more men to Xingluocang, he told Yu Wenye openly that he was not the only one who had to attack Dongdu.

More importantly, Qi Wang Yuwencheng has not left Chang'an until now.

Although he returned without purpose, he would have been impeached in normal times, but the ministers in the court all understood the significance of Duke Shenwu to the emperor in terms of court affairs and feelings. In addition, Yu Wencheng used condolences as an excuse, so No one spoke at such a time, and since he hadn't left yet, he naturally had the excuse of attending Yu Wenzhen's wedding, but both Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi knew that his purpose was not limited to that.

He and Yu Wenzhen should be the candidates who want to directly solve the attack on Dongdu.

I just don’t know what means he will use?
And what decision will Yu Wenyuan make in the end?

Chu Ruoyan was silent for a long time, as if she wanted to say something, but hesitated. Finally, she smiled bitterly and said, "It's a pity that I'm useless. I can't help my second brother or my sister."

Shang Ruyi said hurriedly: "What are you talking about? You have already done too much for these two things."

"..."

"It's just that this time, because of the death of Lord Shenwu, His Majesty has some feelings for Feng Chen... so the matter is difficult, and we haven't thought of any good solution yet."

Chu Ruoyan still shook her head, as if recalling something, and said with a wry smile: "Fei'er and I made mistakes in the past, and we didn't know how to admit them. We would only act coquettishly in front of our father and mother. Now it seems that it's probably It’s not a good thing either.”

Seeing her increasingly lonely expression, Shang Ruyi suddenly smiled and said, "Why isn't this a good thing?"

Chu Ruoyan looked up at her: "Huh?"

"Being able to act like a baby is a good thing at any time. Just because it doesn't work now, doesn't mean it's not good to act like a baby."

"..."

"It's like a good person who has done good deeds and accumulated good deeds has enjoyed a lifetime of blessings. Just because he suffered some hardships in his later years, he must say that he should not have done good deeds and accumulated deeds in these years. This is unfair." "..."

"You cannot use the results to negate the beginning and the process."

Hearing her words, Chu Ruoyan seemed to be stunned. He stared at her blankly with his eyes wide open. After a long while, his lips trembled slightly and said softly: "You, you seem to..."

Shang Ruyi looked at her: "What?"

Chu Ruoyan came back to her senses immediately, her eyes were still a little dazed, but she immediately shook her head and turned away, as if she was a little embarrassed, but after a while, she turned back and took a deep look at Shang Ruyi, although her eyes were still a little lonely. , but there is an almost gentle look in the loneliness.

She was not absent-minded for too long. She only turned her head and glanced at the sky outside, then waved behind her.

Pan Qing, the eldest maid who followed her, immediately came forward, holding a box in her hand. Although the carving was not very exquisite, it was thick and serious, and she placed it in front of Shang Ruyi. Chu Ruoyan said: "I heard that eating some Poria cocos after childbirth is good for the body. This is the Poria cocos cake I made myself. If sister doesn't dislike it, please try it."

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi hurriedly opened the box, and sure enough he saw several neatly crafted pieces of Poria cakes placed inside, exuding a faint sweet aroma.

She smiled and said, "Your skills are getting better and better."

Chu Ruoyan also smiled and said: "There is nothing to do these days, so I just use these to pass the time. If sister wants to eat anything, please tell me."

Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "I won't be polite."

After saying that, he asked Tu Sheer to put the box away, and Chu Ruoyan took another look at the sky, then stood up and left on the grounds that he would not disturb her rest.

Watching them leave, Tu Sheer hugged the heavy box, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "I was worried that Mrs. Chu would be resentful after being grounded for half a year. I didn't expect her... My temper has gotten so good.”

"Of course,"

Although this is a good thing, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but feel a little sad when thinking back to the gentle and kind-hearted Crescent Princess who also had a hint of the sweet girl of heaven, and then thinking about her lonely but peaceful look just now. Changes in people are not a bad thing, but the most pitiful change is that they are forced by fate to cut off their power to act coquettishly, and become no longer greedy, no longer fantasize, and no longer take the initiative to reach out even for what fate has to offer. Such a change is Most heart wrenching.

She glanced at Tu Sheer again and said with a smile: "If you get beaten a few more times, you won't have so much to say."

Tushel wrinkled his nose at her.

After the master and servant laughed a few times, Tusheer took the box and put it aside. Noticing that the teacup in Shang Ruyi's hand was empty, he brought a teapot to refill her, but saw Princess Qin He was sitting on the couch with a thoughtful expression on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, I heard her murmuring: "Coquettishly?"

Tusheer said softly: "Princess, what are you thinking about?"

Shang Ruyi blinked again, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Where is the child?"

Tusheer was stunned for a moment, not knowing why she suddenly asked about the child, but she still hurriedly replied: "Mrs. Chu came here just now. She was worried about the noise, so the wet nurse took her to the back hall. There is a sun there, and the little highness seems to like it very much. Basking in the sun makes me feel happy."

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi also smiled and immediately said: "Let the child come back."

"Yes."

Although Tushe'er was confused, he didn't ask any more questions and went down immediately. Shang Ruyi glanced at Wuxue who came up from the side and was about to pack away the cup that Chu Ruoyan had just used, and whispered to her: " Wuxue, after you pack your things, go out and have a look, see what His Majesty is doing, and come back to me."

Wuxue looked up at her, nodded immediately, took the things and went down without asking any questions.

After a while, the child was brought back.

When Tusheer put the swaddle, which had become much heavier, into Shang Ruyi's arms, the sadness that had filled her belly immediately disappeared after hearing a murmur of milk coming from inside.

Shang Ruyi smiled so hard that his eyes curled up, and he looked down at the cute little face in his swaddling clothes.

The child is not yet a full month old, but his appearance is already very different from when he was just born. As Yu Wenye said when he was first born, he was indeed not very good-looking, wrinkled and wrinkled like a skinned kitten. Even Shang Ruyi was so tough-talking that he would often get up at night and look at it and he would be so depressed that he could not sleep for most of the night; Unexpectedly, less than a month later, the child had grown a little, his skin was smoother and fairer, and his chubby cheeks were rosy and plump, like an apple.

Moreover, the baby opened his eyes a few days after birth. It turned out to be a pair of bright, big eyes with black and big pupils, like longan balls.

He is not afraid of strangers either. Almost everyone in Qianqiu Palace can hug him and he doesn't cry much. If a stranger comes, he is not afraid either. He only stares at people with his eyes wide open. Breathe it all in.

As soon as he saw him, Shang Ruyi's heart almost melted.

While she was teasing the child with a smile, Tusheer beside her said softly: "Princess, Your Highness is almost one month old, why haven't you given him a name yet?"
