The Empress is running again

Chapter 56 If, there is still a chance
The Hou Mansion is still as it was in the memory of its predecessor, not particularly large, but it is more exquisite. It can be seen that the old Hou Ye who rebuilt the Hou Mansion, that is, her grandfather, is a person who knows how to have fun.

After entering the Yide Hall of the Hou Mansion, Rong Zhaoyi sat at the head.

"Your grandfather went on a trip last month, and he's not at the mansion right now." Rong Guixun was about forty years old, and he was born with a dignified appearance, with a scholarly air about him, just like Rong Jiuyue. When speaking, there is a touch of alienation.

"Rong Zhaoyi must be tired after coming back early in the morning. The court lady asked someone to tidy up the courtyard where Zhaoyi used to live. Can Zhaoyi go to rest for a while?"

The woman who spoke was wearing a dark blue tunic dress, wearing gold hairpins, and had an oval face. She should be about the same age as Rong Guixun, but she looked well-maintained. When she spoke, her eyebrows and eyes were charming. meaning.

For the head mother of a big family, such a look is not dignified enough.

"Mother, Eldest Sister and we are a family, there is no need to be so polite, Eldest Sister, Ruirui has not seen you for almost a year, today I saw Eldest Sister, she is much prettier." A woman in a sky blue dress The little girl in the middle of the night rushed towards Rong Jiuyue like a butterfly.

Without waiting for Rong Jiuyue to avoid it, he grabbed her sleeve and looked at her with a round face full of affectionate smiles.

Rong Jiuyue looked at her smiling face, and a figure flashed in her memory.

Rong Ruirui, Rong Guixun's second daughter, always smiles at everyone, and has been in contact with her predecessor a few times, but has no deep friendship.

"Second Sister, shall we go play with Eldest Sister together?"

Rong Zhaoxue, who was called the eldest sister in the peach-colored long dress, stepped forward and took a look at Rong Jiuyue. When she saw the gorgeous palace dress on her body, the jealousy in her eyes "suddenly" burned.

"Okay, I haven't seen my eldest sister for a long time."

"You two children are really, your eldest sister just came back and needs to rest, so don't tire her out."

Mrs. Wu Bohou's wife, Huo Shi, scolded loudly, but there was no intention of blaming her in her eyes.

Rong Jiuyue doesn't like the familiar girls, so she withdraws her sleeve from Rong Ruirui's hand and takes a step back.

"Well, I'm really tired. I'll go back and rest for a while. Come over later."

In a word, the smiles on the faces of the mother and daughter froze.

Huo's reaction was quick, and he hurriedly responded with a smile.

"That's how it should be. Why are you still standing there? Why don't you take Rong Zhaoyi down to rest?"

"Yes."

Two servant girls stepped forward and led Rong Jiuyue out.

As soon as she walked out, the faces of the mother and daughter in the hall fell instantly.

"It's only been pampered for a few days, and her tail is about to go up to the sky. You know, if it wasn't for me, would she have such a chance!"

"Shut up!" Rong Guixun whispered.

Rong Zhaoxue shut her mouth unwillingly.

Rong Guixun looked at the mother and daughter and straightened their faces. "Since I had chosen to do that at the beginning, there is no room for regret. Don't be reconciled. It is the crime of deceiving the emperor, beheading, and I will weigh it clearly!"

Seeing his seriousness, the mother and daughter hurriedly responded.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, Zhaoxue and the others also said something wrong for a while, the sisters' relationship is getting better, don't you think so?" Huo Shi winked at the two daughters, and the two had to obediently respond.

"Yes, Daddy, we have a good relationship with Eldest Sister."

Seeing this, Rong Guixun's expression eased. "Take lunch together, you should prepare it carefully, she is quite favored now, so don't neglect her."

"It's Master Hou, I know it myself."

"Mother, why isn't that fat man stupid?" Rong Zhaoxue looked annoyed.

Huo frowned, obviously not understanding. "Don't offend her so easily."

Rong Jiuyue's courtyard in the Hou's Mansion is not bad, very delicate, but the people serving in it have changed, and it was a little strange for a while.

"Prepare water, I want to take a bath."

"Yes."

The maid went down to prepare hot water, and after taking a bath, Rong Jiuyue changed into a simple but not simple plain dress.

"I'm going to worship my parents."

The servant girl understood and brought Rong Jiuyue to the ancestral hall in the backyard of the Hou Mansion.

Usually no one comes to the ancestral hall, it looks very deserted, when Rong Jiuyue walked in, there were only two sweeping women.

"You all go out."

The maids all retreated.

Rong Jiuyue stood in the ancestral hall, looking at the two dark tablets in front of her, her heart suddenly felt a little stuffy.

The father of the predecessor died of illness that year, and the mother couldn't help but miss it later. She also went with the father in the same year, leaving the predecessor with only one child.

No matter what, she is Rong Guizhu's daughter now, and she is willing to wear this incense.

Lighting the incense in her hand, Rong Jiuyue knelt in front of the futon and kowtowed to them three times.

"I hope your daughter can be reunited with you in heaven."

After a while, she left the ancestral hall.

"Let's go back."

"Yes."

Rong Jiuyue walked on the road paved with blue stones in Hou's mansion, as if she had returned to her predecessor when she was a child.

A talented father, a gentle and kind mother, a happy and unrestrained child...

"Zhaoyi be careful!"

"Hey!"

Rong Jiuyue stopped quickly, but it was too late, the bridge of her nose hit the "wall" in front of her.

"Well!"

it hurts.

She wrinkled her face and touched the bridge of her nose, and looked up, but she didn't expect that what she bumped into was still a "human wall".

"Are you all right?" The cold voice, even if it was deliberately softened, still made people uncomfortable.

Rong Jiuyue took a step back, keeping a certain distance from him.

"fine."

"Zhaoyi forgives the sin, the servants deserve to die."

Those servant girls were so frightened that they knelt down on the ground.

Quan Yu cast a cold glance at the maidservants, making them tremble with fright.

"Go get some medicinal wine, and prepare some hot tea and pastries."

"Yes, yes, servants are going now." The two maids quickly retreated after hearing the words.

When Rong Jiuyue heard this, this man dared to regard this place as his residence, and he was really not polite at all to give orders.

"You're hurt, go sit over there and rest for a while."

Quan Yu didn't care whether Rong Jiuyue agreed or not, and made a decision directly.

Rong Jiuyue looked at his tall and strong back, if he wasn't so self-righteous, it would still be quite pleasing in terms of appearance.

"My lord, I'm fine. If you want to rest, you can go and rest by yourself." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for Quan Yu.

"You are blaming me."

This is embarrassing, my lord, do we know each other well?

Rong Jiuyue really wanted to roll her eyes.

"Where did your lord come from?"

"This king didn't know they sent you into the palace at the beginning, if he knew, he would definitely stop him."

Is this explaining why he didn't express anything when his predecessor was sent to the palace?
It seems meaningless to say this now.

"My lord, I don't know what you're talking about."

"Jiuyue, you don't believe me." Quan Yu walked up to her, his amber eyes fell deeply on her face, and he just looked at her like that.

Rong Jiuyue thinks that she is beautiful, but only if she is not so fat!

Fatty also has true love, but that person is definitely not the man in front of him.

"My lord, no matter what happens, I am now the emperor's Zhaoyi, and everything is a foregone conclusion."

"If there is still a chance..."
