Acacia, don't be negative

Chapter 583 The Reckless Girl

In the palace, when the wedding invitation was presented in front of Su Ruoqing, Su Ruoqing opened it and took a look, her brows raised slightly.Su Ruoqing put down the affairs in hand, and asked the father-in-law beside her: "Do you think, Ah Song will get married, should I go or not?"

The father-in-law replied: "It depends on the emperor himself. If the emperor wants to go, he can go, and if he doesn't want to, then don't go."

Su Ruoqing weighed the invitation, but said: "The two of them must have expected that I would not go, so they boldly wrote this invitation to me. If I really go, they will appear ignorant Did you lift it up?"

Eunuch said: "From my servant's point of view, it's fine if the emperor doesn't go. It's a long way to go. I'm afraid something might go wrong on the way."

Su Ruoqing said with a faint smile: "If I really go to Gusu, I will find it interesting to think about the expression the virtuous king will have."

The father-in-law stopped talking, and he didn't know what Su Ruoqing was planning, so he just quietly accompanied him.Su Ruoqing approved the papers for a while, then stood up with his clothes up, walked down the desk, and said, "Forget it, let them have fun. You go with me to the treasury, pick out a few congratulatory gifts, and send them back to Prince Ning's mansion, so that he can Take them to Gusu together."

"The slave obeys the order."

The annual Lotus Viewing Festival in Shangjing is here, and Li Ruyi never expected that Su Ruoqing would ask her to organize the Lotus Viewing Festival.Besides, in the past, it was all lively among the people, and the palace would not celebrate these festivals.

At night, all the hexagonal glazed palace lanterns in the palace were replaced with lotus lanterns, which was so beautiful.The river lanterns floated all over the river, and the imperial garden was full of flowers. Palace people were allowed to put lanterns in the river to make wishes. It was the first time for Su Ruoqing to set foot in the harem in the past two years. The few concubines in the harem were very beautifully dressed, as if I want to compare all the flowers that are competing for beauty in the imperial garden.

Li Ruyi didn't care as much about dressing as other concubines, and she didn't want to win the first prize in everything. On the contrary, her temper was very flat, but the mood in her eyes was less gloomy.During the palace banquet, everyone sat thinking about Su Ruoqing's side, Li Ruyi was the closest to him, and the concubines competed to toast Su Ruoqing, but Li Ruyi didn't make any moves.

It was Su Ruoqing who brought a glass of wine and respected her: "Your concubine Ruyi has worked hard, this lotus viewing festival is well organized."

Li Ruyi was overwhelmed by the flattery, and hurriedly took a glass and drank it all.In the blink of an eye, the mist in her eyes was quickly covered by her.

The sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and the dancers came to the hall to dance, and their dancing postures were extremely enchanting.Su Ruoqing watched with her chin propped up, and couldn't help thinking of what someone said, suddenly became a little interested, raised her hand to stop the dance music, and said: "I'm tired of watching these dances, but I've never seen my concubines come back again." Instead of dancing a half-dance, let you do it."

In the main hall, the concubines in the harem tried their best to show off their talents, playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting on the stage, just to attract Su Ruoqing's attention.

A palace banquet ended with singing and dancing, and while enjoying the flowers in the garden, Su Ruoqing also allowed them to place lights in a special lotus pond to make their wishes.Almost all the concubines here are the daughters of court ministers, so Su Ruoqing specially granted them permission to go back to their natal home to visit relatives for the night.

It was still very early, if he left the palace at this time, he would not only be able to go back to his mother's house, but also catch up with the lively lantern festival outside.As a result, everyone seemed very happy, and after resigning to Su Ruoqing one by one, they went back to their own palace to hastily changed their clothes and prepared to leave the palace.

In the end, Li Ruyi was the only one left.Li Ruyi stepped forward, blessed Su Ruoqing, and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers and concubines are a little tired, so I will take my leave first."

Apart from this palace, she has no home to return to.

Su Ruoqing was thoughtful, and when she turned around, she said, "I'll take you back." Li Ruyi turned her head in surprise, her eyes surprised.

After all, he hadn't set foot in her wishful palace for more than two years.When they arrived at Ruyi Palace, Li Ruyi took a few steps forward and then turned around. Seeing Su Ruoqing standing where she was, she didn't intend to go any further.The lights in the Ruyi Palace were dim and sweet, setting off Li Ruyi's figure with a kind of indistinct beauty.Su Ruoqing just said: "Go in now, I'll go back now." After saying that, she turned around and walked away step by step without looking back.

For a moment, Li Ruyi felt that it would be too lonely for Su Ruoqing to go back like this, and his back made her want to cry.But he couldn't say a word to persuade him to stay.

Encouraged by Ruixiang, Li Ruyi no longer stays in her Ruyi Palace all day long. Occasionally, she will wear an exquisite palace skirt, stroll around the imperial garden outside, and also meet with the few concubines in the harem. Let's enjoy the flowers and drink tea together.Although the number of times I met Su Ruoqing was rare, I still met him.

Su Ruoqing visited the garden with her, and sat down to chat with her in their free time.Li Ruyi served very carefully and sincerely.While she felt that Su Ruoqing had changed, she herself had also changed.Being by Su Ruoqing's side all the time has always been her dream life, and now she has learned to let nature take its course.People are changing, the only constant is time.

As the weather gets hotter, Su Ruoqing doesn't often critique papers in the imperial study, but asks people to move all the papers to the gazebo. While admiring the lake and water, while dealing with the political affairs at hand, he is not so tired and dull, but the lake wind blows from time to time A blow, it is refreshing.

That day, Su Ruoqing fell asleep in the gazebo, and the lake wind blown all over the place, and happened to be seen by Li Ruyi who was passing by.She hesitated for a moment, then stepped into the gazebo and picked up all the folders. Su Ruoqing woke up when she heard the noise, and when she opened her eyes, they were slightly red.Li Ruyi immediately retreated to one side, and Fuli bowed his head and said: "The concubine saw the emperor sleeping here when I was passing by, so I came to have a look if I was worried, if I offend the emperor, I hope the emperor will forgive me."

Su Ruoqing raised her hand and pinched the bridge of her nose, and said, "It's okay."

Originally, Li Ruyi was not allowed to touch those memorials. Under Su Ruoqing's gesture, she still put all the memorials she picked up on the table. It all fell on the ground, so I picked it up..."

Su Ruoqing said: "Next time you just wake me up." He summoned the palace servants to move these papers back to the imperial study, got up and walked with Li Ruyi in the garden for a while.

Li Ruyi said: "In the past, the emperor would not have so much time to visit the garden. The country of Beixia is prosperous and the people are safe. The emperor steals half a day's leisure, and it is also a blessing for all people."

"If I deal with all the political affairs one by one, I won't have a moment to walk around." Su Ruoqing glanced at her and said.

Li Ruyi said: "So, this concubine feels that the emperor has changed."

"The king of a country owns the world, power and wealth. This is a responsibility and a burden." Su Ruoqing said slowly, "Some people say, why can't I enjoy being the emperor while taking on the responsibility and burden of being an emperor?" What? Now, I think so more and more."

Su Ruoqing looked far away, obviously looking forward, but seemed to be back in the distant past.It goes without saying who that person is, and Li Ruyi is convinced.

There must be only one person in this world who can change him.It's just that seeing Su Ruoqing's change like this made her unhappy.

Since Su Ruoqing can gradually let go of the past, she might as well gradually open her heart and let go of the past.

With Su Ruoqing's permission, Li Ruyi could go to the temple outside the palace to burn incense and pray for blessings on the first and fifteenth day of each month.She went out of the palace with a large outfit, wearing light clothes, and a personal maid, Ruixiang, in a carriage, and two big inner guards pretended to be coachmen.

When the people outside the palace saw it, they only regarded Li Ruyi as the wife of some rich family.When the carriage arrived at the foot of the mountain, there were steps stretching to the temple on the mountainside. Looking up, there were probably more than a thousand steps.

There are many people who come to offer incense, and there is an endless stream of ladies and ladies.They all have to walk up the mountain to enter the temple, and Li Ruyi is no exception.However, just as Ruixiang was about to help her get out of the carriage, suddenly there was a small collision from the back of the carriage, and a girl in very ordinary clothes rushed forward unconventionally. When the car hit her side, she staggered a few steps and almost fell.

Ruixiang immediately shouted angrily: "Bold!"

The girl turned her head in a hurry, and said, "Ma'am, I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry to get married late, so I won't be able to get in the queue!" After she finished speaking, she turned her head and ran up the stone steps, holding her skirt, recklessly of.

Li Ruyi and Ruixiang were both stunned on the spot.Ruixiang couldn't believe it: "Mother, isn't that... that's not... how did she come back?"

Li Ruyi was also full of doubts, and hurriedly ordered Ruixiang to follow and go up the mountain together.The girl who bumped into them just now was not hard to find, and Li Ruyi finally knew why she came up the mountain in a hurry.

Because the marriage lottery in this temple is very effective, but the master only releases the lottery for the [-] early applicants on the first and fifteenth day of each month. Therefore, if he wants to get a marriage lottery and get a detailed answer, he has to rush up the mountain.

Li Ruyi quickly found her among a bunch of girls at the gate of the temple, holding a marriage lottery in her hand, looking very puzzled.From the side of Li Ruyi, the profile is so perfect that there is no trace of blemish.She stepped forward quickly and stood by the girl's side for a while, but the girl still didn't notice her, so she reached out and patted the girl's shoulder lightly, saying: "Second Miss Ye..."

As soon as the girl turned her head, Li Ruyi opened her mouth, and swallowed all the words that followed.She just looked at the girl without speaking, and the expression in her eyes was unpredictable.

The girl asked, "Who are you?"

Rui Xiang stepped forward and said: "Miss is really forgetful. Just now when I was down the mountain, I almost knocked my wife down, but when I turned around, I forgot again."

The girl thought of it all at once, and apologized to Li Ruyi with a smile.Li Ruyi came back to her senses, and looked at the girl in front of her carefully again, thinking that she was impatient just now, but looking at it carefully now, she is younger than Ye Song, her face is still childish, and her stature is not as tall as Ye Song , and none of the skirts and hair that he was wearing was similar to Ye Song's clothes, but this face, at first glance, looked very similar to Ye Song.She smiled and said: "It's okay, I was reckless for a while, and I also recognized the wrong person."
