slave like jade

Chapter 76
Coming out of Shuyu Hall, Yue Yu sent her back to the palace.

In the carriage, Yue Yu suddenly stretched out his hand to hold her pulse, Yu Ruyan was taken aback, and wanted to pull back reflexively, Yue Yu said softly: "Don't move, the last time the East Palace fell into the water, I think you are very cold Is it all?"

Although there was a stove in the car and it was as warm as spring, Yue Yu's hand was slightly cold and rested gently on her wrist. The sunlight made him paler.After a while, he put down her hand and said with a light smile, "No problem!"

When mentioning the East Palace, Yu Ruyan couldn't help asking a question buried in her heart: "That day, Wen Xiang really...really treated you..."

She wanted to ask, did Wen Xiang really run into the room and do something wrong to him in the East Palace that day?
Yue Yu's expression froze for a moment, then he smiled lightly, his eyes were as clear as a spring——

"no!"

The two words of "extremely easy" made Yu Ruyan's heart tremble. If Wen Xiang didn't have any wrongdoing towards him, then everything that happened later was designed by him?

She couldn't believe it and looked at the warm and jade-like Yue Yu in front of her, she couldn't help being surprised in her eyes, and said in a daze: "Why did you do this?"

Facing her surprise, Yue Yu was not surprised, he smiled lightly, but his tone was suddenly cold: "I vent my anger for you, and I also vent my anger for myself!"

After finishing speaking, he seemed to be tired, with a tired expression on his face, he leaned on the cushion and closed his eyes.

However, Yu Ruyan's mind was twitching. It is understandable to say that he vented his anger for her, but he said that he vented his anger for himself. Why?Could it be that there is also a grievance between him and the Xiangfu?
"Do you think my actions are too vicious?" After a long time, when Yu Ruyan thought he was asleep, Yue Yu whispered.

"No!" Yu Ruyan answered him without thinking. She has never been a kind and bullying person, and she has never been soft on those who want to murder her. However, what she did not expect is that in her impression The kind and gentle Yue Yu actually...

"I'm a businessman, so I'm not weak to be bullied!" Yue Yu opened his eyes and looked at her with a surprised face for a moment. He is associated with powerful figures who are decisive and powerful in the treacherous business field.

After returning to the palace, Yu Ruyan went straight to Chen Yanfei's house. On the way back, she bought some cakes for them to thank her family for their care and help during these days.

Chen Ma was very happy to see her, and took her to chat with her for a long time. At the end of the chat, Chen Ma's face suddenly darkened, her tone was worried, and she sighed and begged her: "Xiao Qing, Yan Fei has always been on good terms with you. , she can listen to what you say, so Mama Chen wants to ask you one thing!"

Seeing Chen Ma's frown, Yu Ruyan hurriedly said, "What do you want me to do?"

Chen's mother showed some regret on her face, and said sadly: "A few days ago, our old neighbor asked someone to match Yan Fei. The man is the second son of Gu Yuanwai on Dongjie. There are shops in the fertile land, and the life is very prosperous. In fact, with the current market situation of my family, it is good for people to look at Yan Fei, but that girl turned her down immediately, and she refused to marry into the Gu family. She is not young. Now, it should be the age to start a family, I hope you can help me persuade her to agree to this good marriage!"

Seeing Mama Chen's eagerness to love her daughter, Yu Ruyan was very envious, and promised Mama Chen to persuade Yan Fei well.

Back in her own room, the copper coins were already waiting at the door, and she was happy to see her come back and said: "You are back, the master has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Yu Ruyan looked at the copper coin with a 'click' in her heart and asked cautiously: "Is Your Highness in a good mood today?"

She promised to let her leave the mansion, but she didn't say that she would be out of the mansion for so long. Yu Ruyan was afraid that she would offend Mu Lingzhi, what if he took back his order and refused to let her leave the mansion again?
Tong Qian glared at her, and sighed resentfully: "Look at you, you are usually a ghost, but you are acting like a fool when it comes to matters with His Highness."

Seeing her getting more and more confused, Tong Qian said helplessly, "Didn't you realize that His Highness really likes you?"

Yu Ruyan was even more dumbfounded——

If Mu Lingzhi liked her, she couldn't believe it!

All along, she only knew that the person he liked in his heart was his childhood sweetheart, Mu Ziyue. In his eyes, he was just a military prostitute from a humble family background. How could he fall in love with her?

Seeing her expression of disbelief, Tongqin said angrily, "Although His Highness looks cold and doesn't have nice words for you, you don't understand how he treats you in his heart? Last time you were bitten by Wu Jinshao, Your Highness doesn't even want to suck snake venom for you with your life. Also, the last time you had an incident with Miss Mu, Prime Minister Mu brought a lawsuit before the Holy Majesty. If His Highness hadn't been begging for you all the time, I'm afraid the imperial concubine would have wanted you a long time ago. Fate, you don't even know how many intercession words His Highness said in front of the imperial concubine, he never bothered to say those words before..."

The copper coins were still chattering on the sidelines, counting each piece for her to listen to, but she walked forward silently with a dull face, but there was a huge wave in her heart——

In fact, she also felt Mu Lingzhi's change in her, but this kind of liking came so suddenly that she was caught off guard for a while.

When she gritted her teeth and gave up running back to him, she just wanted to make him fall in love with her one day, and then abandon him fiercely, in order to avenge that arrow, but now that the day has come, she is confused?
What is she going to do?
When she came to Yunsong Courtyard, the copper coins urged her to go in, but she became timid for no reason.

After dawdling at the door for a long time, she walked into Mu Lingzhi's room. She had lived in this room for a while, and it was very casual before, but today she was so restrained that she had nowhere to put her hands and feet.

Mu Lingzhi leaned on the soft couch under the window to read a book, and when he saw her come in, he immediately beckoned her to go.Seeing him getting closer, Yu Ruyan's face blazed up with a 'boom', and she stood in front of the couch with her head down, not daring to lift her body for a long time.

Mu Lingzhi pointed to a suit of clothes beside him, and said, "Jinxiu Village sent the clothes over, can you still fit them if you try them on?"

She lowered her head to pick up the clothes, but her hands were empty. Mu Lingzhi stopped the clothes and looked at her fixedly, and said coldly, "What's wrong with you today? When you entered the door, you lowered your head and said, are you going out of the house today to do business?" What's wrong?"

"No...no! This servant is going to try on the clothes right away." Yu Ruyan quickly raised her head and grinned at him. Seeing that she had returned to her previous cheeky appearance, Mu Lingzhi felt relieved and gave her the clothes.

Yu Ruyan stood in the room with her clothes in her hand, trying to find a hidden place to change, but the room was clearly visible, and there was no place to hide herself.

Before changing it, she had already changed it carelessly. Looking at her embarrassed and shy look today, Mu Lingzhi couldn't help but feel strange. What happened to this girl who has always acted boldly today?
"Well...Your Highness, the servants will change in the next room before coming here?" Yu Ruyan was holding her clothes and was about to sneak out, but was stopped by Mu Lingzhi.

"What's wrong with you today? Why are you so awkward?" Mu Lingzhi looked at her coldly with disgust.

"Reporting to Your Highness, men... men and women are different!" She salivated and faked a smile.

"What else do you have to hide in front of me?" Mu Lingzhi suddenly smiled evilly, his thin lips slightly curled up, looked at her with interest, and said calmly, "When will the goblin stop eating Tang monk meat? "

What?She is a goblin?

Yu Ruyan was so angry that her nose was smoking, she decided to go out later and she must teach Tong Qian a lesson, so that he dared to talk nonsense, saying that His Highness likes her!

If you really liked her, would you say that about her?He has always been as gentle as Mu Ziyue, and he also likes Mu Ziyue, the difference is too big.

Angrily holding the clothes and walking to the bed, he took off the clothes on his body and changed into new clothes in two or three times. Mu Lingyi saw that the size was just right.

The dress is very beautiful, and the soft silver color makes her beautiful face even more radiant. The slender waist is high and the waist is full, and the loose skirt is light and elegant, making people unable to take their eyes off!

Mu Lingzhi's eyes narrowed. This beautiful and luxurious outfit made her even more unbelievably beautiful.but--

"Come here!" Mu Lingzhi beckoned to her, and Yu Ruyan walked over suspiciously. As soon as he reached the couch, he stretched out his long arms and pulled her to sit in front of him. Before she could react, the hairpin on her head The flower was taken off by him, and a head of black and bright black hair poured down like a waterfall...
His slender fingers with well-defined bones gently curled up her hair. His movements were gentle and his expression focused. He ran his fingers through her long black hair. After a while, he helped her re-tangle her hair, and took out a white and flawless rose from her body. The fancy jade hairpin was given to her, and a cold voice slowly sounded above her head: "From now on, I can only help you hairpin!"

"Ah?" Mu Lingzhi's series of actions had already overwhelmed her, but now she suddenly heard his abrupt words, and she froze on the spot, not knowing how to answer.

"If you dare to let other men make hairpins for you again, Bengong—" He looked at her with piercing eyes, his deep eyes flashed, and said coldly: "Bengong will help you tie your hair and make hairpins for you." , From now on, you are born to be a man of this palace, and you will be a ghost of this palace when you die. If another man dares to tie up your hair with a hairpin for you, he will not want his head, nor will you have any of your black hair."

Yu Ruyan's whole body was shaken, and she didn't realize until now that he was still worried about how she tricked General Li into helping him insert hairpins when she was fighting in the school field——

My heart warmed up, it turned out that he really started to care about himself!

Although his words were harsh and threatening, at this moment Yu Ruyan's heart was filled with sweetness, she finally, finally walked into his heart.

Looking back fixedly at the man in front of her, Yu Ruyan smiled, her flowing eyes sparkled with affection, she suddenly stepped forward and hooked his neck to bully him, pretending to be relaxed and said: "It seems, What the copper coin said is not false, His Highness takes it seriously - really fell in love with slaves!"

Her tone was frivolous, teasing, and her eyes were warm and teasing, but her heart was pounding, so nervous that her heart was about to jump out of her voice.But she wanted to get an accurate answer, but she was afraid of hearing him answer, in case, in case he denied——

Mu Lingzhi's face turned red, and his eyes turned away. Suddenly, he saw the hope in her eyes clearly. He turned his eyes and stopped avoiding them. He fixedly looked into her eyes and said calmly, "Coins always like Nonsense—”

Her whole body froze, and when she heard that her heart sank, she knew that she couldn't get the answer she wanted.

"—But this time, I'm right!" Mu Lingzhi's deep eyes were filled with a hint of a smile, looking at her face that instantly darkened, he felt happy——

Whoever let you know my intentions put your nose on your face, dare to play tricks on me! ?

The next moment, when Yu Ruyan hadn't recovered from his last sentence, Mu Lingzhi turned around easily and pushed her down on the couch, half-closed his eyes and joked: "Just now I said that the goblin changed Don’t eat Tang Monk’s meat anymore, and you come to flirt again, you are not timid—”

The thin lips pinched her delicate lips fiercely, and her voice was hoarse with an indescribably sexy charm——

"However, I like it very much!"

Outside the window, the sky is covered with heavy snow at some time. The crystal clear snowflakes are like spirits falling into the world. The plum branches in the yard are dyed white again, dotted with blossoming red plums. The dense room was in the room, causing the intertwined figures on the couch to pause slightly.

Mu Lingzhi got off her body, saw her curled up in his arms like a lazy kitten, and couldn't help laughing: "The snow scene is just right at this time, you change into the new clothes you arrived today, let's go to the yard, I will do it for you." You paint!"

Yu Ruyan shrank her shoulders, and muttered unhappily: "It's so cold outside, it's better to stay indoors." After saying that, she burrowed into his arms again.

"Do you know that Ben Gong's paintings are worth thousands of gold?" The face of someone who was so excited suddenly turned dark, "How dare you refuse!"

Mu Lingzhi got up as soon as his long legs took a step and came to the desk, spread out the drawing paper, and said solemnly: "If you can't get up again, I don't mind drawing you as a erotic palace!"

"..."

Yu Ruyan was wearing a flowing silver pleated skirt and was sitting in the gazebo in the courtyard. The red plum blossoms behind her were all in bloom, and the blossoming red clouds were dyed with crystal white snow, shining charmingly in the setting sun.

Mu Lingzhi stood opposite her, holding a paintbrush in his hand, concentrating on drawing stroke by stroke.The wind and snow gradually stopped, the setting sun was like a fire, and the quiet Yunsong courtyard was peaceful.

Once again, he was fascinated by his concentration and seriousness and couldn't move his eyes away. It wasn't until Mu Lingzhi coughed twice that Yu Ruyan reacted. He immediately moved his eyes away to look at the plum branch beside him, and couldn't help asking: "Your Highness ,how much longer?"

Mu Lingzhi didn't stop, and said coldly: "If you move any more, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish the painting before dark!"

"Your Highness, why don't you paint my eyes first..." Then I can look at you!

"Draw the eyes at last, sit down quickly!" You looked at me bewitchingly, why would I want to draw?
When An Lirong and An Lan walked into Yunsong Courtyard hand in hand, what they saw was such an affectionate scene. Both of them were suffocated, and they stopped walking at the same time.

Looking at the scene in the courtyard, An Lirong's eyes dimmed, and An Lan also looked lonely, An Lirong said sourly: "It seems that we came at a bad time today, let's go back!"

After finishing speaking, he led the maidservant back and left.

After the "truth came out" about the Ziluoyuan incident, An Lirong was restored to the position of side concubine, but the power of the family was still given to An Lan, because An Lan "scrutinized the truth" and found out the truth about the Ziluoyuan!She came here today just to thank His Highness for restoring his throne.

A trace of unwillingness flashed in An Lan's eyes. She glanced at the luxurious and charming Yu Ruyan, and said coldly, "Since we're here, let's take a good look and learn from her excellence."

That being said, seeing An Lirong was gone, it was not good to stay here alone and had to follow her out of the courtyard gate.

Her tone was sour, and she also had a look of unwillingness on her face, which had never happened before.

In the past, no matter how big the dissatisfaction was in An Lan's heart, she would hide it in her heart, and she would not show it at any time, but now that she has become the mistress of the house, and after she is pregnant, she unconsciously thinks highly of her status, and feels that There is reason to be jealous and angry.

An Lirong's eyes flashed, and she glanced at her belly without showing any traces in her eyes, and said coolly: "It seems that my sister spent so much effort to bring down the Ziluoyuan before, but she did it wrong. The biggest threat to my sister is the one in front of me, my sister must plan well!"

Hearing this, An Lan was startled, and quickly restrained the look on her face, and changed into her usual low-browed manner, saying: "Miss misunderstood, everything this servant did was dissatisfied with the slander of sister in Ziluoyuan, causing Miss to be demoted." Even being fined and grounded, the servant was too angry and wanted to avenge the young lady's injustice, that's why..."

She spoke affectionately, as if she was planning for An Lirong wholeheartedly. The latter smiled slightly when she heard the words, her eyes were slightly cold, she stopped and picked a branch of red plum protruding from the roadside, and said slowly: "Thank you I think about me all the time, but I have been fined, so why do you need to take risks for me? If Zhuxiang was not restrained by you and bit you back that day, wouldn’t you be in danger? If you attack her, outsiders who don't know will think that you are jealous of the child in that bitch's belly and take the opportunity to knock her down?"

Her gaze was coldly moved from Hongmei to An Lan's face, and she looked at the gentle and timid woman in front of her without blinking. Thinking of everything she had done, she felt a chill in her heart. A timid maid?

If it was really for her good, why didn't she come forward to avenge her for so long, but waited for her to lift the ban before taking action against Gu Qing'er...

The pointy nails dug into the petals, and the red flower juice flowed into her palms, and her hands were instantly terrifying as if stained with blood. She looked at the bright red in her palms with disapproval, and a cold light flashed in her eyes!

An Lan has been by her side since she was a child, and has always been well-behaved and sensible, taking care of her with all her heart. That's why she gave her the surname 'An' to give her a higher status among the maidservants.

Later, after marrying into the palace, she also brought her in together, just because she liked her steady and sensible, but she didn't expect that within half a year after entering the palace, His Highness took her into the room after getting drunk.

I still remember the grief and indignation I felt when I found out that scene. The maid I trusted so much rolled with my husband. She also hated her and gritted her teeth.But at that time An Lan knelt pitifully outside her door all night, begging for her forgiveness, and said that she voluntarily shaved her hair and went to the nunnery to save her from being sad.Seeing her pitiful and frightened appearance, she temporarily softened her heart and let her stay, and even mentioned to His Highness that she should be adopted as an aunt...
Now that I think about it, the so-called drunk confiscation of His Highness's house was probably done by her alone. She wanted to climb up from the very beginning, but now she actually turned her idea on her head, treated her in a wrong way, and cooperated with Gu Qing'er behind her to frame her. It caused her to lose all face and suffer terribly!
"By the way, His Highness has been going to your room more times these days. Why don't you see any movement in your stomach?" An Lirong pretended to be very concerned and said to her as she walked forward, but her eyes were radiant with coldness.

An Lan's whole body was shaken, and her steps stopped——

"Miss, you are joking, slaves are not lucky enough to have such a great fortune!" She lowered her head to hide the uneasiness in her eyes, pretending to be depressed and said in despair.

"Don't underestimate yourself, even being the mistress of the house is easy, so what's so difficult about giving birth to a man and a half woman for His Highness, I'm afraid that the younger sister and mother will be more expensive than the son, and maybe they will become side concubines in one fell swoop! "The emerald tassels on An Lirong's head flickered, reflecting the snow around her, shining a deep green light.

An Lan froze all over, her eyes turned cold, An Lirong seemed to know her secret!

Just as she was about to speak, An Lirong turned her head and smiled slowly at her, "It's getting late, sister, let's go back early!" After saying that, she didn't stop on her feet, and led her maidservant to the Furong Courtyard.

Looking at the direction An Lirong left, An Lan stood there without moving for a long time. Yuan'er was afraid that she would be frozen, so she hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Master, you should go back quickly, it's freezing cold, in case you catch a cold The wind and cold are bad things. In fact, you should have rested in the house just now, and there is no need to accompany her this trip!"

An Lan glanced lightly at Yuan'er's face, making her tremble in fright, only to hear her say coldly: "If I don't come, in case His Highness is persuaded by her for a while, she will give me the palm I have so hard to get." If the power of the family was handed over to her, wouldn't I be happy for nothing? I have gone through a lot of hardships to conceive a child, if I don't have power, do you think I can keep this child?"

Only then did Yuan'er understand her intention to accompany An Lirong on this trip, and she couldn't help worrying: "Master, that lowly maidservant Xiaoqing already knew about your pregnancy, and the side concubine seems to have something to say, master, we are now going to What should I do? Do you want to continue to hide it?"

An Lan's eyes darkened, her face was sad, and she sighed, "I wanted to endure the most dangerous first three months of pregnancy before telling Your Highness, but now it seems that I can't wait."

When Yuan'er heard that she planned to reveal the secret of her pregnancy, she couldn't help but rejoice and said: "If your Highness gets this good news, he will be very happy, and he will definitely lift up the master to be his wife!"

"Don't be too happy!" An Lan didn't think so, her delicate face was icy cold, and she said sadly: "Gu Qing'er has always been loved by His Royal Highness, but her wife's position was carried up by the imperial concubine. As for me, I have not been favored all this time, I am afraid that His Highness will not care about it anymore. After what happened to Gu Qinger, the imperial concubine and empress may also be spoiled in order to prevent me from becoming the next Gu Qinger, so she will not lift her up for the time being. My position, but if I am pregnant as a concubine, it is too dangerous on the one hand, and on the other hand, even if I can give birth to the child in the future, I am afraid that I will have to be raised by others. This is the last thing I want have witnessed."
