slave like jade

Chapter 140 A Kiss and Affection

In order to persuade Xiaoru to leave the palace, Yu Ruyan had no choice but to tell her that Xiaodao was about to accept a concubine, but she didn't expect Xiaoru to speak out sharply before she finished speaking.

She shook Yu Ruyan's hand, glared at her angrily, and said angrily: "I didn't expect you to be a bad person like them. Fortunately, I still thought of giving you roast chicken. He liked you because he thought of a knife." , you can teach me how to make Xiaodao like me too, I didn't expect you to want to drive me away just like them!"

Seeing that she had completely misunderstood Yu Ruyan's good intentions, Brother An became angry when he heard it, and couldn't help but said to Xiaoru: "How can you misunderstand the princess' good intentions like this, she is obviously for you Well, you actually..."

Brother An is an honest girl, and she couldn't say too harsh words, so she just stared at Buru angrily, took Yu Ruyan's hand and walked forward, saying: "Princess, we shouldn't meddle in this business, she is dead. Is it our business? The princess still has a lot of thorny things to do, let's go."

After hearing Xiaoru's words, Yu Ruyan felt more and more that she was as stubborn as Xiaodao, and her thinking was a bit extreme.

But thinking that she didn't understand human affairs at such a young age, and she was not angry with her, she shook her head and sighed: "If you really plan to follow him, I won't stop you, just take care of yourself."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked forward with Brother An. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he encountered a knife with a livid face.

Xiaodao didn't know how long it had been since he appeared, but looking at his livid and ugly face, Yu Ruyan knew that he had heard what she said about him accepting a concubine just now, she couldn't help but said with a headache: "Prince..."

Hearing her call his prince, Xiaodao's face became even more ugly, he interrupted her coldly and said: "Sister is afraid that I will pester you again, so you are in a hurry to help me get a concubine?"

Where did Yu Ruyan dare to tell him that these were just his concubine's idea, if he knew, with Xiaodao's personality, she would probably go to the concubine to question her immediately, and Concubine Xie would not blame her son, but rather I will blame her for being too talkative.

Before Yu Ruyan opened his mouth to explain, Xiao Dao already had a look of anger on his face. He suddenly pulled Xiao Ru, who was standing still, to his side, and said coldly: "My sister wants me to accept the concubine earlier, but I don't. It's impossible between Ru and me, I just want to keep her by my side, let you take a good look, your decision is wrong."

Xiaodao's last words had some deep meaning, Yu Ruyan could of course hear it, he just blamed her for choosing Mu Lingzhi instead of being with him.

Hearing this, Yu Ruyan smiled wryly in her heart.

When Xiaodao was in front of her, she could instantly change back to a child's appearance. When she spoke and acted like a child, she spoke in a fit of anger, but seeing Buru's bright eyes and joyful face looking at Xiaodao, Yu Ruyan couldn't help it. There was nothing to say, so I had to say: "Prince, I said the wrong thing, I'm leaving the palace first." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left with Brother An.

When Xiaodao came back from the imperial study, he saw Yu Ruyan standing at the gate of his palace, he was overjoyed, thinking that she was reluctant to part with him, and came to see him before leaving the palace.

He wanted to approach Yu Ruyan quietly from behind to give Yu Ruyan a surprise, but he didn't expect to hear Yu Ruyan saying that he was going to accept a concubine, and his heart was suddenly ignited.

Anyone can talk about his taking a concubine, but when Yu Ruyan said that he was extremely heart-piercing, she couldn't help thinking wrong, thinking that Yu Ruyan was afraid that he would pester her, so she thought that he would marry another woman sooner. Woman, so, under the impetus of anger, she said such words in a childish manner, with a look of beauty.

But as soon as he said the words, seeing Yu Ruyan turned around and left, Xiaodao panicked again. He thought Yu Ruyan was angry, and suddenly felt heartbroken. Jade is like Yan.

"Sister, are you angry with me?" Once the anger in his heart was extinguished, Xiaodao immediately regretted it after regaining his senses, and followed Yu Ruyan with a guilty expression, like a child who has done something wrong with an uneasy expression.

Having been with him for so many years, how could Yu Ruyan not know his character, his temper comes and goes quickly, in the final analysis, it is because he is too young.

Yu Ruyan was not angry with him, she stopped and looked quietly at Xiaodao who was dressed in the prince's fine attire in front of her, and said softly: "Xiaodao, sister is not angry with you, but just thinks that you have grown up now, And you are still the crown prince of a country, no one dares to criticize everything you say and do, but the more you do, the more cautious you are, don't be as casual as before. As Xiaodao, always remember that you are now Mu Chenzhi, the prince of Daliang. There is no room for maneuver in what you say."

After all, he glanced at Xiao Ru who was following Xiaodao without any trace of his eyes.

What Yu Ruyan said made Xiaodao's heart tremble, and he also understood the meaning of her words, and his mood was extremely complicated.

In fact, he is usually very calm and mature, but as long as he encounters Yu Ruyan, he can't calm down. He is always abnormally impulsive and frizzy. Hearing what Yu Ruyan said now, he blushes with embarrassment. , stunned on the spot.

When he came back to his senses, Yu Ruyan and Brother An had gone far away, he wanted to catch up, but finally stopped.

After walking out of Xiaodao's sight, Brother An said unconvinced: "That Xiaoru's words are not serious at all, why did the princess still speak for her in the end?"

Yu Ruyan's last words were indeed for Xiaoru. She reminded Xiaodao that he must do what he said as his prince. Therefore, no matter whether he was angry or angry, since he said that he was with Xiaoru, he should It must be done, this can be regarded as a little warning from Yu Ruyan, telling him not to speak so impulsively in the future, after all, his status now is quite different from before.

She sighed heavily, and said weakly: "Since Xiaoru has identified with Xiaodao and is unwilling to leave, it is good for Xiaodao to give her a name. I also hope that there will be a woman who loves him sincerely by Xiaodao's side, which is better than those The daughters of aristocratic families who have no relationship with him."

In fact, Yu Ruyan is still a little selfish, she hopes that Xiaodao can gradually forget her with Xiaoru's sincere company, and she doesn't want to see the two brothers finally make trouble because of her.

Brother An worriedly said: "As the princess said, the knife... will the prince really give Miss Xiaoru a title? Seeing how the prince treats her, he doesn't care much about her, and the people in the palace bully her , the crown prince did not help her. Besides, the imperial concubine would not agree to the crown prince accepting a mountain girl with such a poor background as a concubine, would she?"

Yu Ruyan smiled disapprovingly, and said slowly: "You are wrong, Xiaodao doesn't care that she doesn't like her, but he is afraid that she will be hurt if she doesn't adapt to the life in the palace, and she wants to leave the palace voluntarily. It can be seen from this that Xiaodao has a little affection for her in his heart, I'm afraid he doesn't know it yet."

Seeing that Brother An's face became more and more confused as he listened, Yu Ruyan patiently explained to her: "Think about it, with a knife that is not delicate, he is willing to take Xiaoru all the way from the border battlefield to Daliang, and even If you brought her into the palace, if you were really tired of her, would you still take her so far? Also, if there was no knife to protect her secretly, do you think Concubine Xie would let Xiaoru run amok in the strictly hierarchical harem? "

Hearing what she said, Brother An finally understood, but he was still worried: "But I think Concubine Xie will despise Xiaoru's background after all, and will not agree to the crown prince taking her into the harem."

"It was true before, but if Xiaodao refuses to accept other concubines before accepting Xiaoru, Concubine Xie Guifei may have to agree."

Brother An's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Princess is still smart! If this little Ru really becomes a concubine one day, the first person I want to thank is you, the princess."

Yu Ruyan sighed heavily and said, "I don't expect her to be grateful, I just hope that after she stays by Xiaodao's side, she can love him sincerely and take care of him."

While the two were talking, they had unknowingly reached the gate of the palace, where Mu Lingzhi was already waiting there.

Mu Lingzhi was waiting for Yu Ruyan to go back to the residence together at the gate of the palace. The two of them had been back east for several days, but they hadn't formally returned home. Therefore, when he saw Yu Ruyan approaching, Mu Lingzhi's eyes lit up. Ignoring the people coming and going at the gate of the palace, he stepped forward and hugged her, and carried her directly into the carriage in front of everyone. The curtains of the carriage could barely be lowered, and he couldn't help but hug her and kiss her. It took a long time before I was willing to let go.

After we separated for a while, Mu Lingzhi already started to miss her. He sat down with his arms around her, and asked worriedly, "What do you want to leave behind? Did you make things difficult for you?"

Yu Ruyan thought of what Concubine Xie had asked her to do, and she was very depressed, but she didn't look depressed at all, she looked at Mu Lingzhi with a smile, "It's just that your body is sore, I don't know where to hear it. She said that I am good at massage, so she asked me to give her a massage for a while, and it didn't make things difficult for me."

Hearing what she said, Mu Lingzhi was dubious, but he couldn't guess what the concubine mother would ask her to do. He just picked up her hands and gently moved her fingers for her, and said distressedly: "Are your fingers sore?" ? Are you tired?"

The fingers are not tired, but the heart is tired.

But Yu Ruyan didn't want Mu Lingzhi to know about the affairs in the back house, let alone let him interfere.

With a slight smile, Yu Ruyan leaned against Mu Lingzhi's shoulder and joked, "Compared to the short time of massage for your mother, I remember that there was a bad guy who asked me to massage most of his shoulders on purpose. At night, at that time, my hands were sore, my feet were numb, and I continued to doze off, but I was dragged into the bathtub by some villain and drank a big mouthful of cold water..."

What Yu Ruyan was talking about was that when she was in the military camp, she tricked Ji to win the final General Li in a fighting competition. She slapped Mu Lingzhi in the face in public, making him angry and not easy to vent. After returning to the camp , she massaged his shoulders frightenedly...

Her words evoked memories for both of them. When Mu Lingzhi recalled the first time he saw her, his heart was both sad and sweet, and he couldn't help but said: "Well, the villain is really hateful, but he has changed his ways now, please let me know." The lady gave him a chance to reform himself, and from now on, let the bad guy massage the lady's bones every day, so that the bad guy can forgive him for what he did wrong in the past?"

Hearing this, Yu Ruyan couldn't help laughing, pinched his tall nose like him, and hummed triumphantly: "Yes!"

The carriage has been walking for a long time and has not arrived at the palace. Yu Ruyan couldn't help but feel a little strange. She opened the curtain and looked out, but saw that the carriage was walking on an unfamiliar road. She couldn't help but wondered: "Where is your Highness planning to go?" ?”

Mu Lingzhi pointed to Zhuangzi hidden in the shade of a tree in front of him and said, "Look, that's the other garden of the palace. I said before that I would bring you to live here after returning to Beijing. You and I have been tired these few days. , I don’t want to go back to the palace to see those annoying things and people, so I’ll take you here to rest quietly for a few days, how about you?”

Regarding his plan, Yu Ruyan was very happy in her heart, she was the same as him, and she didn't want to be disturbed by others, so she and him lived peacefully together, this was a day she had never dreamed of.

But when she thought about the matter in the back house of the palace, Yu Ruyan's heart sank. She didn't want to break her promise to Concubine Xie, but she also didn't want to disappoint Mu Lingzhi's good intentions, and wanted him to rest quietly for a few days, so she looked up Looking at him with a smile, he said, "Everything is up to you."

In the bleak autumn day, the other garden of the palace is covered with golden leaves, which has a special taste.Although the houses inside are not as majestic as the palace, they are small and exquisite. They lack the grandeur of a high-end mansion, but they have more of an ordinary taste of home.

The pavilions and pavilions in the Bieyuan are all exquisite, and they have the beauty of the Jiangnan Water Town in Qi State.

Mu Lingzhi led Yu Ruyan to walk around in the other garden, pointing out every place to her. Seeing that many houses inside looked like they had been changed, Yu Ruyan hesitated and said, "Your Highness, but Specifically for me, transformed this other garden into the custom of our Daqi side?"

When asked by her, Mu Lingzhi became shy once in a thousand years, and said with a smile, "Your eyes are really sharp, you can see it all."

Yu Ruyan's heart warmed up, she stared into his eyes for a moment, and said movedly: "When did Your Highness start to revise this other garden?"

This other garden was rebuilt by Mu Lingzhi after Yu Ruyan left the palace. At that time, he looked for her everywhere, but there was no news of her. He was sad and desperate, although he didn't know where to find Yu Ruyan Ruyan, he doesn't know when he can see her again, and he doesn't know if she can change her mind and be with him again when they meet again, but he just can't stop asking people to change this other garden, and the thought in his heart is, He searched all over the world to find her, and when that happens, he will grow old with her in this garden prepared just for her.

Thinking of the days when there was no news of her, Mu Lingzhi was in so much pain that he couldn't bear to live. Now that he thought of it again, he felt a pain in his heart. He couldn't help but hug her tightly into his arms, and whispered in her ear: "You leave the palace. Afterwards, I couldn’t find you everywhere, and I felt very sad. My life was like a dead body, and I wished to die. But I always had a firm wish in my heart, no matter what, even if I traveled every inch of land in the world, I would still find you. Without you, How can I survive alone!"

Mu Lingzhi's deep but magnetic voice melted Yu Ruyan's heart, his soft lips pressed against her soft cochlea, every breath was like the softest light feather stirring her heartstrings, Yu Ruyan's heart was moved by him, she looked at him obsessively, blushing with happiness on her face, but blushed angrily and said: "Back then in Daqi, Your Highness was not as determined as he is now. After a while, I left in a desperate manner, I thought... I thought you left just like that, but I didn't expect that you went to the battlefield for Daqi without saying a word, and you kept it from me..."

Thinking of the news of his death at that time, Yu Ruyan's heart trembled!
Mu Lingzhi said affectionately: "You braved the scorching heat to come to Daliang to get married, didn't you just want to keep the people of Daqi safe? Forgive me for my sincere repentance."

After all, he stared seriously at Yu Ruyan's eyes and said: "Lady, how is your husband's performance? Do you really forgive me in your heart?"

Seeing his seriousness, Yu Ruyan's heart brightened, and she said with a playful smile: "Seeing that you are so thoughtful and have thought about where we will retire, I forgive you. This other garden ,I love so much!"

After finishing speaking, she couldn't help reaching up to her toes to hook his neck, her delicate lips pressed against his thin lips, and kissed affectionately!
The autumn wind suddenly picked up, blowing the fallen leaves all over the place, and also blowing away the autumn atmosphere in the courtyard. Among the charming fallen leaves flying all over the sky, Mu Lingzhi unceremoniously deepened the kiss, and hugging her turned around, turning into a sky-filled kiss. A pair of flounder in the flying leaves, kissing each other affectionately, makes people fascinated...

When Yan Yuruyan came back to her senses again, she was brought into the dormitory by Mu Lingzhi at some point, and all the clothes on her body fell off. His love gradually changed from tenderness like water at first to passion like fire, and then even more so. The turbulent surge made her unable to hold back.But how can he control his strong love for her, and she is also willing to do so, the whole room seems to be hit by a frenzy of lust, the love is as deep as the sea, as thick as honey, and the love is overflowing...

When Yu Ruyan woke up after a full night's sleep, it was already dark, and there was no sign of Mu Lingzhi by her side, nor was he seen in the room. Before serving her to dress and wash, Yu Ruyan looked down and saw the ambiguous red marks on her shoulders and everywhere on her body, her face was burning hot, she was a little embarrassed to let these strange girls serve her, but these girls seemed to have been treated very well. During the training, everyone was very respectful and docile, serving her well.

After finishing dressing, Yu Ruyan couldn't help asking: "Where's Brother An? Why don't you see her?"

A little girl with slender eyebrows and narrow eyes respectfully replied: "Reporting to the princess, Sister An worked hard to serve the princess and rest in the room. Your Highness ordered that the four of us and Sister An will serve the princess together from now on."

While talking, Brother An came in from the outside. He was very happy to see Yu Ruyan. He took the jade comb from the maids and helped Yu Ruyan comb her hair. The people here treat me like half a master, and the servants' room I live in is also very good, and they even arranged for me to have a little girl as an attendant, this..."

Brother An looked very uncomfortable. Also, she has been serving others since she was a child, and she was really at a loss when she was treated with such respect in vain.

Yu Ruyan didn't expect Mu Lingzhi to be so considerate to Brother An, but she totally agreed with his arrangement.Because in her heart, she no longer regards Brother An as a maidservant, but a good sister who shares life and death together, so she is also happy that Brother An can live a good life like a master here.

Thinking of this, Yu Ruyan patted Brother An's hand and said: "You have followed me for so many years, and you have never disliked me as an unfavorable son, and you are not like other slaves who underestimated me and trampled me down. Daqi went to Daliang, and even gave up his life to save me when he was in Qinxiang Tower, so, in my heart, he was never regarded as my maidservant, but as my younger sister. Your Highness knows my intentions, but he will do what I want to do. It's done. So you just rest and enjoy it, and don't look so stiff."

Hearing Yu Ruyan's words, Brother An's heart warmed up, and he couldn't help but smile sweetly: "The princess has come to the end of all hardships, and the slaves have enjoyed the blessings with the master."

Yu Ruyan took her hand and smiled, "That's natural!"

While the master and servant were talking, a little girl said respectfully at the door: "Princess, the dinner ahead is ready, Your Highness invites the concubine to eat in the dining room ahead!"

Following the little girl all the way to the dining room, the closer she got to Yu Ruyan's nose, she could already smell a seductive familiar smell, and before she could reach the door, Yu Ruyan was so greedy that her mouth was watering.

Brother An couldn't help being surprised and said: "Princess, I didn't expect that the kitchen in this other garden can also make our Daqi's hot pot. The smell is very authentic and delicious!"

Hearing the copper coins that were welcoming them at the door, he couldn't help being amused, covered his mouth and smiled: "Nowadays, none of the chefs in our other garden can compare with our Highness, and this authentic Daqi hot pot is exactly what His Highness said in the afternoon. I made it for the princess myself."

Hearing this, Yu Ruyan's expression was slightly startled, she didn't expect to wake up and didn't see him, but he quietly nestled in the kitchen to make food for herself, her heart was filled with sweetness and happiness.

When they entered, Mu Lingzhi had already prepared everything. Seeing her coming in, he couldn't wait to point to the hot pot on the table and said, "Come and try it. This is the first time I've made it. I wonder how it tastes?"

After finishing speaking, he considerately added Yu Ruyan's favorite food into the pot, and fed it into her mouth after it was boiled thoroughly.

After Yu Ruyan ate a piece of mutton, she felt that it was more authentic and delicious than the hot pot she ate in Daqi. She couldn't help giving Mu Lingzhi a thumbs up, and was about to praise him generously, but her mouth was covered. Mu Lingzhi was so full that he had no time to talk.

When Yu Ruyan finished eating, Mu Lingzhi poured her the chrysanthemum tea and said dotingly: "Eating this in autumn is a bit boring, but I know you haven't been in the palace for the past two days. What to eat, so I thought about making one for you, and I also made you chrysanthemum tea to remove the fire, so that you won’t feel uncomfortable after eating.”

Yu Ruyan was stunned by Mu Lingzhi's series of actions, she bit her chopsticks, blinked at him and said, "Your Highness, you will spoil me like this."

Mu Lingzhi's subordinates didn't stop, and he filled the hot pot with Yu Ruyan's favorite food. He said very naturally: "If I'm not used to you, who else can I get used to!? Who dares to have an opinion?"

"But if Your Highness keeps getting used to it like this, I will grow a whole body of flesh."

Yu Ruyan's mouth was so full of meat that she couldn't speak clearly.

Mu Lingzhi's face darkened as soon as she heard her talking about growing flesh, "I'm ashamed to say growing flesh. The more I touch you, the less flesh you have. Hurry up and eat more. It would be good to gain another ten catties." of."

After finishing speaking, the chopsticks in his hand were blown, and Yu Ruyan's mouth was tightly stuffed again.He didn't realize that the maids and maids around him were blushing to the point of bleeding.As for Ange and Tongqian, the two old men who served them, although they were used to all kinds of sweetness in their daily life, they couldn't help but want to cover their mouths and laugh because of Mu Lingzhi's straightforwardness.Yu Ruyan was so startled by his words that she almost bit her tongue.

Everyone in the room was blushing and giggling, only a certain person was not shy at all, it was quite normal, but when he saw Yu Ruyan's shy face dripping blood, he was afraid that she would not be in the mood to eat, so he took it. He glanced coldly at the people around him, blatantly threatening them not to laugh anymore.Swept by his deep and cold eyes, the servants all around quietly waited on him with lowered eyebrows, and suddenly there was no sound in the room.

Yu Ruyan had been with Mu Lingzhi for a long time, and gradually got used to all kinds of sweetness and sweetness of him, and she became used to it.

In this way, Mu Lingzhi took Yu Ruyan to live in the other garden. The life was as sweet as honey, but it was a little regretful that it was autumn and the flowers were withering. He specially opened a garden for Yu Ruyan. The flower garden, the rose jasmine planted, missed the blooming season when it bloomed...

After staying for five days in a row, on the morning of the sixth day, Yu Ruyan and Mu Lingzhi proposed to return to the palace.

These days, although she is living a life that is better than the gods, it is the most comfortable and happy life she has ever lived in her life, but when she thinks that there are still so many things to deal with in the palace and Mu Lingzhi's identity, she knows that she can't be willful with him after all. Just hiding in this paradise-like other garden and not going back to the house, if someone with a heart wants to sue Concubine Xie, I am afraid that Concubine Xie will be the first to agree with them to do so.

Thinking of this, Yu Ruyan made up her mind to return to the palace, and Mu Lingzhi also knew her worries, but felt sorry for her that she would have to face the trivial matters and unhappiness of the whole palace when she went back, and said heartbrokenly: "After returning to the palace, if If anyone dares to frame and bully you like before, you must tell me, don't bear it secretly without telling me."

Yu Ruyan thought of the two unresolved major cases in the palace, and felt depressed, but she didn't want Mu Lingzhi to know, so she said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, they didn't get me when I was a maid. How about it, now I won’t let them bully me.”

While the two were talking, Brother An and the others had already packed their bags and set off to return home. When they opened the gate of the other garden, they were shocked——

At some point, under the leadership of An Lirong, the female family members of the palace knelt silently outside the other garden, with tears on their faces, looking very aggrieved and pitiful.

Seeing the two coming out hand in hand, An Lirong's complexion darkened, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, but in the next second, she led the crowd to bow respectfully, and shouted in unison: "Concubines welcome Your Highness and Princess back to the residence!"

When Mu Lingzhi saw them, his face was calm, not surprised at all, Yu Ruyan looked at him, guessed that he knew they were kneeling outside, but just ignored them.

He cast a cold glance at the people kneeling on the ground, and said in a cold voice, "Have you forgotten what I said at the gate of the city last time? Who told you to come here without permission?"

His cold words made everyone kneeling on the ground shiver. An Li endured the fear in her heart and said tremblingly: "Your Highness, I can't do anything about it. Aunt Kuang in the mansion has an accident. I have no idea. Dare to come here to look for His Highness without authorization, but the other sisters are... but they want to come together to pay their respects to His Highness and Princess, so..."

After hearing her words, Yu Ruyan's eyes sank, she raised her eyes and scanned among the kneeling people, there was no sign of Kuang Qinqin!
