Ruan's wife is pregnant

Chapter 18 Ruan Xuchen's Weakness
How did Ling'er know Gu Jinxi?
And watching them talking and laughing, they seem to be very familiar...

This is not a good thing!

Gu Jinxi is the son of King Xuan. King Xuan is loyal to the emperor and is a staunch royalist party. The Dingguo government seems to be on the emperor's side, but in fact they don't stand on either side. They belong to the side watching the fire from the other side.

Ling'er and Gu Jinxi got closer, and it was inevitable that someone who cared about her would get angry. For Ling'er, it was really not a good thing!
Ruan Xuchen frowned as he thought about it.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper rolled his eyes and asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, why don't I send someone to ask Miss's maid to come over and ask questions?"

"No need!" Ruan Xuchen waved his hand, "Regardless of whether Ling'er and Prince Xuan know each other, they are not on the same road. I will go to her after reconciling the accounts, and I have to go to other places in a while. I can't Time wasted here."

The shopkeeper is a shrewd and capable woman, dressed in coarse linen and has a small scar on her forehead, but this does not hinder her enchanting.

She leaned against the door of the shop and looked at the Qianzai Tower opposite, and then looked at Ruan Xuchen's suspicious eyes, "Is the prince worried that someone will see the young lady and Prince Xuan's son getting too close, and thus take advantage of the young lady?"

Ruan Xuchen was noncommittal.

The shopkeeper smiled, "Your Majesty, in fact, I think that it is not a bad thing for the young lady to get close to Prince Xuan's son. Think about it. In recent years, the emperor's dragon body has become worse and worse. The current princes They are also ready to form cliques, although Duke Ding is a civil servant, he has many disciples, and they are also the object that the princes want to win over, and the young lady who is the only daughter of Duke Ding is definitely the object that the princes want to marry."

Ruan Xuchen didn't answer, but he himself understood the truth. As Ruan Cailing grew older, he became more and more worried, worried that his only sister would become a victim of these princes.

The shopkeeper said again: "Everyone knows that King Xuan is a staunch royalist party and belongs to the emperor's faction, so those princes, no one dares to win over King Xuan easily, and if the young lady gets close to Prince Xuan's son, it will naturally strengthen the eyes of those who are interested. Well, Duke Dingguo's mansion is a faction of the royalist party, so they will naturally have scruples about Miss.

After all, Duke Dingguo and King Xuan, one civil and one military, are loyal ministers of the two major dynasties. As long as one of them is recruited, the success rate of seizing the heir will be greatly improved.

But if the two forces are in the same faction, those princes who want to win them over will naturally have scruples and dare not act rashly, for fear that if they are not careful, the two royalists will reveal the ambitions of these princes to the emperor. It's over!
Listening to the shopkeeper's words, Ruan Xuchen was silent for a moment, and had to admit that the shopkeeper was right.

It's just that I feel so unwilling in my heart!

He knew Gu Jinxi, but he didn't have a deep friendship. After all, one represents the Duke's Mansion and the other represents King Xuan. It's not good for the two forces to be too close.

But this does not hinder his recognition of Gu Jinxi, this person is indeed excellent no matter what, if not for the identities of both parties, he would definitely want to get acquainted with this person.

But now, seeing this person walking so close to his most beloved sister, he feels somewhat uncomfortable in his heart, as if the cabbage he raised had been raped by a pig!
Ruan Xuchen glanced sideways at the shopkeeper, and snorted in a gloomy mood, "Ningcheng, from now on, these words can't be said outside, talking about government affairs indiscriminately, if people hear it, you won't survive today!"

The shopkeeper, that is, Ning Cheng pinched her hair and smiled brightly at Ruan Xuchen, "Don't worry, my son, I have a sense of proportion!"

"I hope so! During this period of time, you have secretly collected information about Gu Jinxi. I don't fully understand Gu Jinxi, but I also know that he is not simple. I am worried that he will hurt you if Ling'er approaches him. To Ling'er!"

Or, he will use Ling'er to do something to Duke Dingguo.

Although King Xuan and Duke Ding had no major faults, they also had political differences, and the relationship between the two parties was mediocre.

I'm afraid Gu Jinxi has any other purpose like this!
Ning Cheng poured Ruan Xuchen a cup of tea, "My family thinks that you are too worried, my son. It's not that you didn't notice the change of the eldest lady. You are cowardly and soft-hearted by nature, but after falling into the water and suffering a serious illness, instead She has become much stronger, you didn't see it, just now she clearly wanted to go up and talk to Prince Xuan, but she walked around the area several times patiently, deliberately letting Prince Xuan see her take the initiative to find her, although it is only a small trick, but it cannot be ignored what!"

Just now Ruan Xuchen checked the accounts with his back to the door, while Ning Cheng kept staring at Ruan Cailing.

Especially when Gu Jinxi approached, Ruan Cailing nearly burst into laughter, but she was able to hold it back, only showing a surprised expression when she saw an acquaintance.

There is no city mansion in this, so it can't be pretended!

Especially, this eldest lady, I'm afraid she has thoughts about Prince Xuan's son!Ning Cheng smiled, but didn't intend to explain to Ruan Xuchen.

"Forget it, hurry up and settle the accounts, I'll go to the teahouse to have a look." After speaking, Ruan Xuchen threw away the teacup, got up and left.

……

In the teahouse, Gu Jinxi ordered a lot of snacks, among which he specially ordered a plate of mung bean cake.

Seeing the mung bean cake on the table, Ruan Cailing's face turned green.

Previously, in order to stay with Gu Jinxi at Ruyizhai, she had made so many people in the house eat mung bean cakes for several days in a row, and even her after-dinner snacks were mung bean cakes.

Now, seeing the mung bean cake again makes my stomach feel nauseous.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Ruan Cailing staring at the mung bean cake, Gu Jinxi was puzzled.

Then he poured a cup of tea for her and put it in front of her, "Although the mung bean cake here is not as delicious as Ruyizhai's, it has a special taste. You can try it. If you like it, I'll ask the shopkeeper to pack some for you to take home."

Please do not!

Ruan Cailing was bitter in her heart, but she couldn't express it, so she forced a smile, picked up a piece of mung bean cake and took a bite.

In an instant, she was nauseated by the sweet and greasy taste of the mung bean cake, so she had no choice but to endure it, chewed it casually a few times, and swallowed it down.

Qing Rui who was next to her quickly brought a glass of water, "Miss, don't choke!"

When Ruan Cailing saw the water, it was as if she had seen the dawn, so she quickly took it and poured it into her mouth.

Gu Jinxi propped his head and watched this scene with a smile, his eyes flashed brightly.

In fact, he already knew that Ruan Cailing was waiting for him that day.

In the past, every time I went to Ruyizhai, I could buy dim sum. Why was it sold out on that day?

He asked Mu Bai to inquire, and learned from the owner of Ruyizhai that she had wrapped the mung bean cakes in their shop for several days.

There were other people who asked her to give her some time, but she never did, so she just gave him some time, and no matter how she thought about it, she was running towards him!
Coupled with the look on her face when she appeared at the door of Express Pawn several times just now to look at her, Gu Jinxi could easily guess that Ruan Cailing was waiting for him.

It's just that what is her purpose in doing this?
