rich concubine

Chapter 2382 The Crested Hairpin

As parting was imminent, Rong Yi went to Yuning Pavilion and ended up drinking with Zhu Lingyu all night.

Although she didn't say anything, Zhu Lingyu had guessed a little bit about the sensitive time and personnel matters.

The two of them just wanted to get drunk tonight. They didn't take any wine cups, and each of them held a small pot and talked and laughed. They were extremely heroic.

When the servants of Yuning Ning Pavilion saw the imperial concubine coming, they all retreated sensibly.

Rong Yi looked at her corner and said, "I used to pity that you were locked up here and had no freedom. Now it seems that you are freer than any of us. Here, although it is difficult to move, at least you are at peace."

Zhu Lingyu said with a smile: "Please don't complain about me. To this day, I feel that the days I have are stolen from me. I like these days, carefree and comfortable. I don't need to think about many things. There is no need for me to worry, the only thing I have to worry about is what to eat tonight and what to eat tomorrow..."

Rong Yi smiled, clinked glasses with her, raised her head and took a sip. The alcohol stimulated her, shook her head, chuckled, and said, "I will have days like this in the future."

Zhu Lingyu turned to look at her. Under the moonlight, the breeze, and the cool summer night, she was only wearing a tulle dress. Her bun was loose and draped behind her. Only a green ribbon held her hair back. .

Her side profile was beautiful, and under the cold moonlight, her skin was extremely fair, her lips were straight, and her pink lips were already pink and tender without any makeup.

Looking at her like this, who would have thought that she was a mother of three children if she was not familiar with her?God treats beauties favorably, especially Fu Rongyi.

"When I was a princess, everyone said that I was beautiful, like a mountain ghost or a moon fairy. They didn't see you. In my heart, the fairy under the moon should be like you. She is so cold when she is cold. , so beautiful that people dare not blaspheme.”

Rong Yi's cheeks were slightly red, and she smiled after hearing her compliments: "If you talk like that, I will think you are asking me for something."

Zhu Lingyu pursed her lips, took a sip of her drink, looked at the scattered stars in the sky, and said, "I am now a member of your courtyard. You will not give me what I want? You still need me to ask for it."

"What you said is really... disgusting." Rong Yi said with a smile.

Zhu Lingyu said: "You suddenly came to my place to drink with me tonight. It can't be a whim, right? I know your personality, but looking at you today, I always feel uneasy. I want to ask you more about why."

Rong Yi's smile faded slightly, her crow's eyelashes cast a shadow, she swallowed the wine in her throat slightly, and then said: "After tonight, I don't think I will be able to see you for a long time."

"Why?"

"Something happened at home. I need to go out for a while. I can't tell you anything more."

Zhu Lingyu was silent for a while, sighed, nodded, and said: "Although your palace has a small population, things are complicated. If you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask you more questions. Just to see your reaction, I won't go out this time." It's a small thing, will you come back safely?" She asked tentatively and carefully in the last sentence, and all the worries in her heart surfaced.

Rong Yi said: "I want to lie to you and comfort myself, but I don't know when I can come back or how many people can come back. But don't worry, you are from Zhaoyiyuan after all. I am here or not, They all treat you the same.”

Zhu Lingyu frowned: "Who is worried about this? In such a big palace, I can always have enough to eat and wear. I'm asking you, I want to know you... That's all, even if I know, what can I do? My identity is sensitive now , and I can’t follow you out. You are always soft-hearted sometimes. Do you know that for some people, your compassion is just a weapon to hurt you? You..."

Rong Yi turned her head with a flat smile and said, "No, I won't be merciful this time."

Zhu Lingyu swallowed all her words. Seeing her drunken appearance and her cold attitude when she said this, she was choked for a moment.

"You are right. Sometimes, leaving room for others is hurting yourself. Not everyone is worthy of my soft heart." Zhu Lingyu sighed and said, "No matter what, I hope you will be well. Nothing is better than yourself." It's important. It's okay if you don't want to talk to me. But this time when you go out, the people around you must be loyal to you and will never betray you... Don't think that I talk too much. After all my experience, It’s always right to be more careful about these things. When you go out, you can’t take precautions. Not only must you guard against outsiders, but you must also guard against those around you.”

Rong Yi looked at her with a smile and said, "I understand, I understand everything. Let's have a drink and stop talking about this. It feels uncomfortable to listen to it."

This night, I will return home only when I am drunk.

Before leaving, Zhu Lingyu staggeredly picked up a box from her room and gave Rong Yi a crested hairpin.

Although she was drunk, her mind was still clear for the time being.

"Put this away and take it with you. The hairpin tail is exquisite and may be able to help you."

……

On the day of departure, it rained heavily. Rong Yi stood under the eaves, watching the rain falling desperately, with a calm expression.

Granny Bai frowned and asked, "It's raining so hard and it's not safe on the road. Why don't we wait for two more days to wait until the weather clears and the ground is dry before we can walk easily."

Rong Yi shook her head: "I can't put it off anymore. Any further delay will be a waste of time. Everything has been packed up. I have to leave, and I have to leave now. If I delay for one more day, my heart will suffer for one more day."

Grandma Bai saw her firm attitude and couldn't say anything else.

……

Aman changed into men's clothes again and put the things he took away in the princess's carriage.

She also gave Rong Yi two small smoke bombs. Rong Yi held them in his hands and looked at them. Ruan Chuyin said, "These are smoke bombs. If you are in danger and need to run away with your life, use these smoke bombs." Throw it away and your blurry vision can run away.”

Rong Yi put it in the bag and returned to consciousness.

It rained heavily for two consecutive days, which made walking on the road really difficult. When we reached the stream, we used the stream water to wash away the mud on the horses and carriage.

Rong Yi sat on the stone pillar on the side, took a sip of clear spring water, took advantage of the shade of the big tree, and let out a long sigh.

Yu Zhen twisted off a clean handkerchief and wiped her face. Rong Yi thanked her and said, "It's really tiring on such a hot day."

Traveling out is naturally not as comfortable as at home.

Yu Zhen nodded and said, "The heat has been too severe these past two days. Seeing that you have been drowsy all day long, I feel very scared. I am afraid that you will catch the heat. The road is really shabby and there is not even a place to rest." "

Rong Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yes, the place is simple. The generals and the others have come here like this. They even have to go to farther places and more remote places. These official roads have been built. They want to go there." Wherever you go, it will only be a thousand times more miserable.”
