Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 732 Sadness
Concubine Ping glanced at the prince in astonishment, saw a smile in his eyes, and said: "Auntie, I know you are worried about Gu."

Concubine Ping's nose turned sour, and her eye sockets immediately turned red.After all, the child has his own opinions when he grows up, but he understands her intentions.

"His Royal Highness, take care." Concubine Ping said with a choked voice, "It's inconvenient to stay here for a long time, I'll go first."

"Aunt, take care, take care of yourself," the prince said.He didn't say to let Concubine Ping come to look for her.Because he knew Concubine Ping would not trouble him.For so many years, it was not easy for this woman to live in this deep palace with the title of his empress mother's sister.But it never occurred to her to use the title for her own benefit.For this alone, he respects her!
Concubine Ping nodded with a smile, and stepped out of the cave first.

The prince looked around.When he was a child, he still felt that the cave was very big, and he could still sit and slowly eat the snacks brought by Concubine Ping.Only now did I realize that the cave is actually very small.He has grown up and needs a bigger world, and he can no longer hide in this small place to gain a moment of warmth.

"Let's go." The prince said lightly.Turning around and leaving the cave, Xiao Zhongzi quickly followed.

It was dark at this time, only the cold moonlight shone on the road.Because he wanted to avoid people, Xiao Chongzi didn't carry a lantern with a hole in it, so the two of them could only look at the road by the moonlight.

"Your Highness, be careful where you step." Xiao Zhongzi warned worriedly.

"En." The prince replied, but walked faster.

Although the prince has never seen his mother-in-law, Queen Hesheli.But since he was a child, he has seen many portraits of her and heard many stories about her.In the eyes of others, she was a perfect woman, and he admired her in his heart, but it was hard for him to feel admiration.

But he knew a different mother from Concubine Ping.That Erniang is like a real person, the appearance of the Erniang he had imagined in his heart.

In fact, Concubine Ping looks very similar to Er Niang in the painting, which is why he was willing to get close when he was a child.For a certain period of time, he regarded Concubine Ping as his wife.Today he felt Concubine Ping's concern from the heart, and many feelings from that year flooded into his heart.

Xiao Chongzi couldn't help but quicken his pace to keep up.He could tell that the prince today was different from the past.The sudden appearance of Concubine Ping touched the softest part of His Highness the Prince's heart.

After entering Yuqing Palace, the prince stood at the door for a while, then walked towards Chen Ruyu's courtyard.

Because of the supervision of the country, the prince has not been in the backyard recently.Today, no one was notified in advance, so Chen Ruyu was very surprised by the prince's arrival.

"Are you free today?" Chen Ruyu greeted her with a smile, and said, "This servant just put Er Gege to sleep, if I came earlier, I could still tease her."

The prince twitched the corners of his mouth, smiled a little forcedly, and said, "Really? I can sleep early today."

Only then did Chen Ruyu realize that the Prince's expression was wrong.Er Gege usually sleeps at this hour, the prince is not ignorant, but he is obviously absent-minded when he said this today.

She subconsciously looked at Xiao Chongzi, and saw him shaking his head slightly, giving her a wink.

Although she didn't quite understand what happened, Chen Ruyu also knew that the prince was in a bad mood.

"Did you eat the dinner? The maidservant hasn't had time to eat, how about some with the maidservant?" Chen Ruyu said with a smile.

"Well, that's fine." The prince responded.

"What do you want to use? It's very hot today, shall we have something light and refreshing?" Chen Ruyu still smiled, looking excited.

"Arrange it as you like." The prince didn't care.

Seeing him like this, Chen Ruyu stopped teasing him and called Fang Fei to arrange dinner.After she was done with her work, she came up to the prince and said again, "Is there something on your mind?"

The prince glanced at her sideways, and said, "Did Yu'er be loved by her parents when she was at home?"

"That's right! The slave is the youngest daughter!" Chen Ruyu said with a smile: "Although the slave has a younger brother, he was born to a concubine. Er Niang still loves the slave the most."

"It's good to have my mother in pain." The prince's tone was full of envy.

It was only then that Chen Ruyu remembered that the prince had lost his mother since he was a child, and had never enjoyed a mother's love.Could it be that this is thinking of Queen Hesheli today?Then she really didn't know how to comfort her.After thinking for a while, she took the prince's hand and said softly: "Master, if you feel sad and want to cry, I can lend you the shoulder of this servant."

Seeing her cautious appearance, the prince suddenly smiled, and said, "With your small shoulders, you can't fall if you rely on it alone?"

"I underestimate people! If you don't believe me, you can rely on me to see if the servant will fall!" Chen Ruyu lifted his shoulders unconvinced, and patted hard.

The prince was a little sad at first, but now he was amused. He put his arms around her and said, "What a silly girl!"

Chen Ruyu was not happy anymore, and said: "Why are you so stupid again? You are so smart! Master, you are not allowed to say that about your slaves in the future!"

Seeing her acting like a baby, the crown prince smiled even more, and said cooperatively: "Okay, you're smart, so I won't say anything."

Chen Ruyu raised her head and glanced at the crown prince, before she said: "My lord, I believe that the empress has been guarding you in heaven for so many years. Although she is not by your side, she will definitely love you. The better you live, the better you will be. The happier you are, the happier your empress will be. Don't be sad, my servant and Er Gege will always be with you."

The prince was slightly stunned, smiled, and said: "Gu is fine. I have been here for so many years. Yu'er doesn't have to worry about Gu. It's just that I feel a little emotional today."

"You don't have to bear everything alone. The servant can be a tree hole, and I can say it when I want to say it. After finishing speaking, the tree hole will be closed, and I will never leak a word." Chen Ruyu said.

The prince patted her on the back and said: "Okay, just remember what Yu'er said today."

Chen Ruyu knew that a person like the prince would not easily reveal his vulnerable side in front of others.Being able to come to her today already shows that she has a different status in the prince's heart.This is a good sign.The more stable her position in the prince's heart was, the closer she was to achieving her goal.

The dinner was cooked in Chen Ruyu's small kitchen.It was a hot day, so all the dishes prepared were cold appetizers, porridge, and refreshing noodles.

The prince didn't have much appetite at first, but a dish of sting skin mixed with vinegar was very appetizing, after eating a small dish, his appetite was whetted, and he ate half a bowl of porridge more than usual.

"Yu'er has arranged a good dinner." The prince boasted.

Chen Ruyu said with a smile: "Everyone says that slaves are smart people!"

Seeing her coquettish look, the prince smiled again.He knew that Chen Ruyu was deliberately trying to make her happy, and he was even more moved in his heart, feeling that he really came to the right place today.
