Xiangmen Concubine: The Emperor's Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 53
When leaving the palace, the sky was full of stars and the cool breeze was blowing.

Lian'er did not enter the palace, and was waiting outside the imperial city together with the original painting.Seeing Feng Changxi and Ruan Mianmian coming out, Lian'er quickly went up to meet them.

"Miss."

Ruan Mianmian looked at her with a concerned smile and said, "It's all right, everything is fine."

Lian'er's eyes were a little red, she glanced at the original painting next to her, and said in a low voice: "The original painting said just now, maybe you might be left in the palace by the emperor and them, Lian'er is so worried."

Then he added: "Madam Seven said that the most ruthless emperor's house, the Prime Minister's House is already so sad, let alone the imperial palace?"

Reaching out to pinch Lian'er's small face, Ruan Mianmian joked, "You can chat with Yuan Hua."

Lian'er's cheeks flushed, and Feng Changxi came over and teased: "Isn't it? That kid in the original painting, now he tells her almost everything."

The original painting next to him was slightly taken aback, and he opened his mouth to retort: ​​"My lord, I don't, really."

Ruan Mianmian looked at Yuan Hua's flushed face, then at Lian'er's slightly drooping eyebrows and smiled: "Okay, it's getting late, let's go back."

The two of them were just about to get into the carriage when Feng Jiuyou's lazy voice came from behind: "My Highness is in high spirits tonight. Would you like me to go to Jiuyou Palace for a drink?"

Feng Changxi smiled and turned to look at Feng Jiuyou who was wearing a scarlet brocade, noticing that his gaze had turned around Ruan Mianmian, and smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness invites you, how dare Changxi not go?"

Then he turned to Yuan Hua and said, "Yuan Hua, you send Miss Mu and Lian'er back first."

Looking at Ruan Mianmian again, he stretched out his hand to close the hair around her ear, frowned slightly, and said in a loving and gentle voice, "I'm not afraid of freezing if I wear so little."

Lian'er had already brought over the cloak that was placed in the carriage, Feng Changxi took it, and put it on Ruan Mianmian gently, with extremely skillful movements: "Go back and rest early."

A faint blush flashed across Ruan Mianmian's cheeks, and even though she hid it well, the warmth in her eyes fell into the eyes of Feng Jiuyou next to her.

The look in his eyes became a little colder, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more charming. He glanced at them, flicked his long sleeves, turned and got into the carriage.

A smile flickered across Ruan Mianmian's eyes, while Feng Changxi lowered his head slightly, and kissed her forehead when she was secretly happy: "Wait for me obediently, en."

That voice gave Ruan Mianmian goosebumps all over.When he was about to speak again, Feng Changxi had already jumped into the carriage.

Lian'er quickly took her hand and said: "Miss, let's go back quickly. It's late at night, and the night is very cold. The prince said that your body is weak and you need to rest well."

With a smile on her face, Ruan Mianmian glanced at the slightly embarrassed original painting next to her, pursed her lips and turned to board the carriage with Lian'er.

For several days, Ruan Mianmian did not see Feng Changxi.It's the original painting, which comes to the small courtyard almost every day.Every time I brought over, it was some clothes and the like.

Ruan Mianmian would take the clothes in person and instruct Lian'er to boil water and make tea for the original painting.Although the original painting was a bit cramped, it did not reject it.

Taking out the medicine hidden in the clothes, Ruan Mianmian changed the medicine in the room, and lit incense to get rid of the medicine smell.After finishing everything, he sat on the soft couch in the room and read a book.

At night, after Lian'er fell asleep, Ruan Mianmian wanted to get up and practice kung fu to heal her injuries.Internal injuries don't heal automatically with rest, they need to be exercised.

It's just that whenever she was about to use her kung fu to heal her injuries, she always felt that there was someone outside.She didn't dare to use her kung fu secretly to see everything outside, because the kung fu of that person outside was far above hers.

After half a month, the wound on her shoulder was slowly healing.In addition to the wound medicine given by Lanyue and the wound medicine sent by Feng Changxi, the scar on the left shoulder is getting lighter little by little.

And the healing speed of the wound on the shoulder is also very fast.

Every night, Ruan Mianmian would pay close attention to the movement outside, until half a month later, when she was finally sure that there was no one there, she slowly sat up and began to practice kung fu to heal her injuries.

Feng Jiuyou's palm almost hurt her heart. If it wasn't for the internal strength of her master, she would have been reincarnated by now.

Thinking of Feng Jiuyou's ruthless attack, she also thought of her own situation.If the two of them tear up their identities, neither of them can tolerate the other.

Either he died or she died.

Ruan Mianmian had just woken up this day, and it was late autumn again.She was sitting in the room flipping through a book when she heard knocking on the door from the yard outside.

Frowning, he heard Lian'er's footsteps and voice: "Who is it?"

A familiar voice came from outside. Even after more than half a year, she still remembered that voice: "Open the door!"

Lian'er also seemed to know who the people outside were, she paused slightly, and quickly looked towards her.Ruan Mianmian nodded to Lian'er through the window, Lian'er gritted her teeth and opened the door.

The one who came in first was a girl who looked clever, Ruan Mianmian and Lian'er were very familiar with each other.That was Ruan Jiaojiao's personal maid, called Ruyi.

Then came Ruan Jiaojiao in a gorgeous dress, she frowned, with disdain and anger in her eyes.Behind her, there are four servants.

After opening the door, Lian'er was about to go out to find the original painting.But Ruan Jiaojiao seemed to know her intentions, and the two servants stopped her.

"Miss San, what do you mean?" Lian'er's lips trembled slightly.

Ruan Jiaojiao took a look at Lian'er, then her gaze slowly fell on Ruan Mianmian who was sitting in the room by the window and reading a book leisurely on the soft couch.

The woman looked calm, and there seemed to be a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.Is she really that dull Ruan Mianmian who was allowed to be bullied by her in the prime minister's mansion?
Suddenly, I told myself in my heart, who is that person if not Ruan Mianmian?Living in such a small place, apart from Lian'er, there is not even a servant who does rough work.

Thinking of this, Ruan Jiaojiao felt complacent again.Ruan Mianmian lived such a poor life, how could she be unhappy?
With disdain in her eyes, Ruan Jiaojiao stood in the courtyard, not bothering to enter that room at all, looked at Ruan Mianmian from a distance and shouted: "Ruan Mianmian!"

Ruan Mianmian smiled and put down the book in her hand.She stood up from the soft couch, tidied her clothes, turned and left the room.

Looking at Ruan Mianmian who was slowly walking towards her, Ruan Jiaojiao became more and more irritable.Those eyes, yes, those eyes.

It was those eyes. Every time I saw her in the past, I was afraid and terrified, but now I looked at her indifferently.

In front of Ruan Jiaojiao, Ruan Mianmian asked in a flat voice: "It's really strange that Miss Ruan San condescends to come to Mianmian's small courtyard. Lianer, make some tea."

There was more disdain and sarcasm in Ruan Jiaojiao's eyes, she sneered and said, "No, how could the tea you drink catch my eyes?"

And Lian'er was held by those two servants, and she couldn't break free at all.Ruan Mianmian glanced at her, signaling her to be calm.

"Then, what is the meaning of Miss Ruan San coming to look for Mianmian and holding Lian'er again?" The faint voice, the tone of the inquiry, was full of oppression.

Ruan Jiaojiao didn't like Ruan Mianmian like this very much, especially the way she looked at her and her tone of voice, so calm and indifferent.

She is the third young lady of the prime minister's mansion, who is aloof and father's favorite daughter.And she, Ruan Mianmian, is now a ruined woman who has been taken care of by others, so why should she look at her with such eyes, and why should she speak to her in such a tone?
Thinking of this, Ruan Jiaojiao became furious, glared at Ruan Mianmian and snorted, "How dare you speak to Miss Ben in such a tone?"
