Refusing to marry the king of broken sleeves

Chapter 098: His Good Proposal "Miss, it's time to drink medicine." Holding a bowl of soup medicine, Caizhi walked into the room and came to Ling Ruoyao who was lying on the bed.

Sitting up, Ling Ruoyao took the medicine she handed over, and couldn't help frowning immediately, the medicine was really too bitter, and she actually drank this terribly bitter medicine for two days in a row.

It has been two days since I met Huangfu Yi on the street that day.

And that day, Huangfu Yi threw her on the roof and did not send her down, Ling Ruoyao was very depressed, cursing Huangfu Yi, that heartless perverted man with broken sleeves, while walking cautiously towards the eaves.

But she didn't want to, one accidentally stepped on the tile back, her foot slipped suddenly, she rolled off the roof, and fell firmly on the street.

Not to mention her whole body falling apart, her legs even fell off. If the kind people on the street hadn't sent her back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she would probably still be lying on the street.

After being sent back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ling Yan immediately ordered someone to find a doctor, and examined her carefully. In the end, the doctor said that her leg would not heal within ten days and a half. And during this period, her legs should not move too much, let alone fall, otherwise, this leg will have to be useless.

The doctor's words made her even more depressed. After being depressed for a long time, the hatred for Huangfu Yi in her heart became more intense.

If he hadn't brought her up to the roof and didn't bring her down, would she have fallen?All in all, all in all, she is lying on the bed and can't even get off the ground, all thanks to that fellow Huangfu Yi.

And the news that she fell from the roof and hurt her leg spread like wildfire, from the Prime Minister's Mansion to the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and reached the ears of everyone in the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

For this reason, some people are happy and some are sad.

Yao Qingru and Su Yuhe, who had always wished that she would never go back to the Fourth Prince's Mansion, gloated over the news that she had broken her leg, and secretly even cursed her for never being able to stand up.

Caizhi and Caizhu, who had been serving Ling Ruoyao all this time, were very worried after hearing the news, and wished they could fly to her side immediately to take care of her.

After hesitating for a while, the two still couldn't suppress the worry in their hearts, so they went to Huangfu Yi together and asked him to let the two of them take care of Ling Ruoyao.

For this reason, Huangfu Yi's answer was: "Caizhi is a girl who came out of the prime minister's mansion, so it is understandable to go back to the master's side now. As for Caizhu, you are not from the prime minister's mansion, why join in the fun?"

Although Caizhu failed to take care of Ling Ruoyao together, at least one of the two got permission.

After getting Huangfuyi's consent, Caizhi rushed back to the prime minister's mansion non-stop, came to Ling Ruoyao's side, and waited on her carefully.

Caizhi's return was something Ling Ruoyao never expected, she never expected that Huangfu Yi would let Caizhi come back so easily.

But after thinking about it, Caizhi was the dowry maid she brought with her, and her real master ran away from home, so she has no reason to stay in the Fourth Prince's Mansion as a dowry maid.

After thinking about it this way, Ling Ruoyao didn't pay any more attention, it would be better if Caizhi came back, she was really worried about having no one to talk to.

At this time, facing the bowl of soup that Caizhi handed over, Ling Ruoyao frowned her delicate brows, and her pretty fair face was wrinkled into a ball.

Even though she had been drinking it for two days, she still couldn't get used to the bitter taste.

Seeing that she was still refusing to drink it, Caizhi persuaded her: "Miss, you should drink the medicine quickly, the injury will heal faster after drinking the medicine."

It's not that she doesn't know this truth, but it's hard for her to swallow this dark soup.

"Just drink it in one gulp, and you'll be fine." Caizhi continued to persuade her, coaxing her to drink the medicine like a child.

The brows frowned even tighter, but Ling Ruoyao still couldn't muster up the courage to drink it in one gulp.

Since she was a child, she had never drank traditional Chinese medicine, but at this time, she not only had to drink this nasty Chinese medicine, but also had to drink it for several days in a row. .

Anyway, it’s all about drinking, and if you drink too much, you will get used to numbness.

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, brought the medicine bowl to her mouth, raised her head and gulped it down.But after drinking, he kept coughing, and his mouth was terribly bitter.

Seeing her coughing non-stop, Caizhi hurried forward, stroked her back, and asked worriedly: "Miss, are you alright?"

After coughing several times in succession, Ling Ruoyao finally came to her senses, shook her head and said, "It's okay, I just choked on it, it's okay."

After stroking her back a few more times, Caizhi took the medicine bowl in her hand and stepped back.

Leaning on the bed, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh. The days when she couldn't get out of bed and walk around were really boring.

Caizhi has to be busy with other trivial matters, so she can't stay by her side all the time. Now she doesn't even have anyone to talk to, so she can only look out the window at a 45-degree angle, bright and sad.

The doctor said that if she took the medicine on time and recovered well, she could get out of bed and walk around in four or five days, but it would take at least ten and a half months to fully recover.

No matter how long it took her to recover, as long as she could get out of bed and walk around, she was content.

But when she was looking out of the window and meditating secretly, sighing continuously, a familiar face suddenly appeared by the window, which startled her.

When she saw who was coming, she couldn't help but glared at Ling Qinglian, and scolded angrily: "Brother, what are you doing? Are you trying to scare people to death?"

With a bright and easy-going smile, Ling Qinglian raised her eyebrows and said, "I thought you couldn't see me. It turns out that you haven't lost your soul."

Speechless by his words, Ling Ruoyao rolled her eyes, and secretly slandered in her heart, she is not blind, and he does not know the invisibility technique, how could she not see such a living person like him?

Squinting at him, she curled her lips and asked casually: "Brother came to see me, what's the matter?"

After hearing her culture, Ling Qinglian immediately put on a dissatisfied look and complained: "I can't come to you if I have nothing to do?"

Dumbfounded by his appearance, Ling Ruoyao had no choice but to raise her hands in surrender: "Of course. Brother, don't stand outside anymore, come in and sit down."

"It's time to let me in." Complaining to herself, Ling Qinglian turned and walked towards the open door.

Only Ling Ruoyao was left looking out the window, with a constipated expression on her face, and the corners of her mouth twitching uncontrollably.

Not long after, Ling Qinglian walked into the room, came to the inner room, sat on the stool in front of the round table unceremoniously, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured herself a cup of tea.

For his self-consciousness, Ling Ruoyao was very helpless, but she could only shake her head and sigh.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Ling Qinglian turned to look at her and asked with concern: "Ruoyao, is your leg better?"

Quickly regaining her senses, she didn't care about his attitude any more, she nodded lightly and said, "It's much better."

Although it was boring to lie in bed for two days, at least her leg injury was recovering well, so she could get out of bed and walk around earlier.

After hearing her words, Ling Qinglian nodded in reassurance, but she still told her not to forget the doctor's instructions before.

Desperate to go one.Although she felt that he was a bit nagging, she was still patient and felt warm in her heart after listening to him.

Although she knew that in the past, Ling Qinglian and Ling Ruoyun often bullied Ling Ruoyao together, but at least when he came back after two years away from home, he never bullied her as an outsider, but treated her very well, even better than his fellow sisters.

In her heart, she has already regarded him as her good big brother and respected him as a real elder brother.

The two chatted for a while, Ling Qinglian suddenly changed the subject and asked aloud: "Ruoyao, when do you plan to go back to the palace?"

Upon hearing his question, Ling Ruoyao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked back: "Why do I want to go back to the palace?"

Her rhetorical question made Ling Qinglian somewhat at a loss as to how to answer the question. After being at a loss for a while, he said again: "Your current status is the fourth princess, so it is impossible to stay in the prime minister's mansion all the time, right? Sooner or later I want to go back to the palace."

Cursing her lips, Ling Ruoyao put on a dissatisfied expression, glared at him, and said sadly: "Don't you think my elder brother doesn't want me to stay in the prime minister's mansion, and wants to drive me away?"

Seeing that she misunderstood what she meant, Ling Qinglian hurriedly waved her hands and explained: "That's not what I meant. How could elder brother drive you away? Eldest brother wishes you could stay in the mansion all the time."

There was a sweet smile on her lips, Ling Ruoyao smiled brightly, and said with a smile: "Since elder brother wants me to stay in the mansion, why bother to ask me when I will go back to the palace?"

What Ling Ruoyao didn't notice was that in the depths of his pair of deep eyes, there was a trace of complicated and even lost emotions.

Even though he misses her all her life and stays in the prime minister's mansion, he also knows that this is just his wishful thinking and extravagant hope.She is married to the fourth prince, and is the majestic fourth princess. Even if she and the fourth prince are in conflict now, there will always be a day when the conflict will be resolved.

And at that time, she will go back to the palace.

Her expression became serious, Ling Qinglian sighed, and said earnestly: "Ruoyao, as a wife, you have to—"

He was interrupted by Ling Ruoyao before he finished speaking, she pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "If the eldest brother came to me just to educate me and let me go back to the palace, then I don't welcome you gone."

Seeing that he opened his mouth and was about to speak, Ling Ruoyao said again first: "I know you care about me and are worried that there may be some conflict between me and the prince that cannot be resolved. But can I handle this matter by myself? ? My own affairs, I have my own measure."

Even though Huangfu Yi, the perverted man with broken sleeves, refused to give her a divorce letter, saying that he would wait until she gave birth to a son before he would give her a divorce letter.But as long as she doesn't go back to the Fourth Prince's Mansion, it's no different from reconciling with him.

Is the prime minister's mansion afraid that they won't be able to support such an idler like her?

Seeing that her attitude was very firm and she didn't want to listen to his advice, Ling Qinglian had no choice but to give up, and couldn't help but sighed: "Brother is also worried about you."

There was a burst of warmth in her heart, Ling Ruoyao raised a bright smile, and said softly: "Brother, thank you! I'm fine, don't worry."

Without continuing this topic, the two chatted casually again. Suddenly, Ling Ruoyao seemed to think of something, and asked cautiously: "Brother, is that sword very important to you?"

Ling Qinglian was stunned for a moment before realizing the meaning of her words.

That day she came to him and asked him to go shopping with her. He had already agreed to do so, but after changing clothes and coming out, he saw that she was holding his sword, and he immediately became angry.

Afterwards, when he calmed down, he realized his gaffe at that time, but since Ling Ruoyao was injured again, he was always worried about her injury, so he put the matter aside for the time being.

And don't want to, but at this time she took the initiative to bring it up.

Now that she had asked, he didn't hide anything further.Lowering his eyelids, he slightly hooked the corners of his lips. On his handsome face, there was a look of memory: "That sword is a person who is very important to me. It was given to me and said to let me You must take good care of that sword."

No wonder he cared so much about that sword, it turned out to be given to him by a very important person.

Dazed for a moment, her clear eyes suddenly burst into a strange light, staring straight at Ling Qinglian, staring at him with chills down her spine.

Smelling the gossip, her blood boiled all over her body.Wei Wei approached Ling Qinglian, she asked mysteriously: "Who is this important person to you? A man or a woman?"

Her question was not surprising, but what made him unable to adapt was her sharp eyes like a searchlight, as if she wanted to see through him.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, Ling Qinglian looked a little embarrassed, and after a while, he smiled and said: "It's a man. It's a wise man with high martial arts skills that I met when I was traveling abroad. He is the one who gave me this sword of."

After hearing his words, Ling Ruoyao was a little disappointed, and the eyes that were originally shining with brilliance dimmed instantly.

Fortunately, she thought that some unknown secret would be unearthed.There was neither a love affair nor a parting of life or death.

It was just a wise man with high martial arts who gave him a sword.

However, at the next moment, the dimmed eyes once again burst into dazzling brilliance, and there was a gentle smile on the corners of the ruddy lips.

"What kind of woman does elder brother like? Isn't elder brother planning to marry a wife? I still want to call my sister-in-law."

Her teasing words made Ling Qinglian a little embarrassed, her handsome face was even stained with a blush.

Dodging her curious eyes, Ling Qinglian said with a sneer, "The woman I like has already married a wife." His eyes also dimmed instantly, tinged with a layer of loneliness.

Ling Ruoyao also showed a look of disappointment, sighed and said: "It's rare that elder brother has a woman he likes, but why didn't he propose to that woman earlier? If elder brother proposes to that woman earlier, I'm afraid that woman is you now wife?"

Staring at her pretty face that was slightly sad, Ling Qinglian didn't look away, but her expression was a little dignified: "Some things can't be changed by one's own power. How can she change the words of her parents' order and matchmaker's words?" Dare to resist?"

Shaking her head and sighing all the time, Ling Ruoyao kept feeling: "It's God's will to trick people! Big brother is such a good man, that woman didn't marry you, she is really blind!"

Staring at her resentful face, Ling Qinglian raised the corners of her lips and raised a bitter smile: "Yes, God's will tricks people."

However, Ling Ruoyao, who was always filled with incomparable resentment, didn't notice the scorching heat that flashed past in the depths of his eyes.

Some things are already predestined, even if he is unwilling to accept it, he still has to face the facts.

***

On the magnificent, noble and majestic Golden Luan Hall, on the top dragon chair, sat the Ninth Five-Year Lord of Cheyuan Kingdom, and on the lacquered red steps covered with red carpets, stood the civil and military ministers of the court.

Everyone is dressed in gorgeous official uniforms, with serious expressions on their faces. They stand with their heads down, looking up from time to time at the top Ninety-Five Lord.

In the entire hall, there is an air of majesty that makes people awe-inspiring.

"What do you think of this hunting in the paddock?" The emperor at the top cleared his throat and said in a low voice, his sharp eagle-like eyes scanned the ministers and officials at the bottom.

"In the previous hunts in the paddock, the princes accompanied the emperor on patrol. Why not let some ministers accompany them this time? It's also a good way to see the emperor's hunting demeanor." The first and third rank officials came out and said respectfully.

Hearing this official's opinion, the emperor stroked his gray beard, pondered for a moment and said: "Ai Qing is right. I have been accompanied by several princes for the previous hunting trips. With a few lovers in the company, maybe there will be more fun."

"Father." After the emperor finished speaking, the third prince, Huang Fuxi, came out and said respectfully, "I have an idea."

"Let's listen." Raising his hand, the emperor signaled him to continue talking.

Slightly drooping his eyelids, Huangfuxi said in a low voice: "I thought, why not let your family members go with you? Although hunting is mostly a man's preference, it's not certain, there are women in it."

The emperor didn't say anything immediately, but thought for a while, and felt that his words were also justified.

If these princes and concubines are allowed to travel together, they can also communicate with each other, and the sisters-in-law can also be more kind and close.

They are all a family, amiable, a scene that everyone wants to see, and he, the Ninth Five-Year Master, is no exception.

Thinking of this, he applauded: "The third prince's suggestion is very good."

Just raised his lips slightly, Huangfuxi didn't show any complacency, but turned his head and glanced at Huangfuyi, and said again: "The fourth concubine and the fourth younger brother just got married, so they must not be very familiar with everyone. The fourth concubine wants to take advantage of this opportunity to strengthen her relationship with everyone."

With that said, he turned his head to look at Huangfu Yi, "Fourth brother, what do you think?"

Keeping a calm expression on his face, Huangfu Yi did not show any displeasure, and said in a low voice: "Third brother is thinking about it."

But he was very dissatisfied in his heart, that woman Ling Ruoyao was not in the Fourth Prince's Mansion at all, and he didn't intend to take her back, but had to wait until she came back by herself.

But at this time, Huangfuxi said that if the father agreed and asked Ling Ruoyao to attend, wouldn't he have to go to the prime minister's mansion to bring her back?

He can't hold back this face.He just wanted to frustrate her. If he takes the initiative to take her back to the palace this time, then she will not be able to ride on his head in the future?

This third child is obviously against him, right?

Thinking of this, he slightly turned his head and glanced sideways, just in time to see Huangfuxi looking at him, but he didn't see any hostility from Huangfuxi's face.

Could it be that the third child still hated that woman Ling Ruoyao and teased him in the street?Planning to take this opportunity to take revenge on her?

The scope of his revenge is really wide, even he was involved in it.

Suddenly, Huangfu Yi felt a gaze fixed on him all the time, he looked over calmly, and saw Prime Minister Ling Yan looking at him worriedly.

Presumably, Ling Yan also realized the seriousness of this matter.

But Huangfuxi, who put forward this opinion, was very proud in his heart, but mixed with a sense of revenge.

A few days ago, he heard from the second child that the fourth princess had left the palace and returned to the prime minister's residence. He still didn't believe it, but it was confirmed later that the fourth princess had indeed left home and returned to her mother's house.

Hmph, he still remembers how she teased him in the street back then, and he swore that he would avenge that humiliation.

He failed to take revenge at the birthday party last time, and this time he will never let her go easily.

If the fourth concubine did not attend the hunting in the paddock this time, then he could make a big fuss and sue her in front of the emperor. As for whether it would affect the fourth child, he couldn't care so much anymore.

He just wanted revenge for that teasing!

The supreme emperor, after some thought, finally made a decision and said: "I have decided that for this paddock hunting, the princes and their concubines will go out together, and the prime minister and Aiqing will also go out with your son. I heard that your son's literary and martial arts strategy is very good, and I really want to see it."

Ling Yan was very flattered, but also a little apprehensive, hurriedly stepped out and said respectfully: "I obey the order, and I thank the emperor for his love on behalf of the dog."

"Ling Aiqing doesn't need to be too polite." The emperor waved his hand, "If you have nothing else to do, then retreat."

"Congratulations to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

A tidy and majestic shout sounded, filling the entire Golden Luan Hall, and the emperor walked away with steady steps amidst this respectful shout.

Only the remaining people who have their own concerns are still staying in the hall.

After the emperor's figure completely left the hall, Huangfu Yi raised his head, but turned his head to look at Huangfuxi next to him, curled his lips, and said in a low voice: "The third child is really persistent, Moreover, he still thinks of his younger brother in this way."

"Fourth brother is serious." Huangfuxi said nonchalantly with a calm expression all the time.

Huangfu Yi didn't speak any more, but turned around and strode away.

Wanting him to pick up Ling Ruoyao's woman back to the mansion in person, he still couldn't do it, but he had to obey his father's will.

I really don't know what to do.
