Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

My smile rested on my face for a while.

And she also smiled at me with the same gentleness, as if she had just talked to me about the topic of rouge gouache and butterfly butterfly among girls.

but--

I didn't speak for a while, and after she said that, she didn't say anything. She just smiled and glanced at me, lowered her head and embroidered it again, then looked at me like she was waiting for me. reaction.

I still couldn't react.

She just said, want to ally with me?

What will I do, she will help me?

I'm sure I didn't hear it wrong, but looking up at the smiley, soft face, I couldn't connect the words just now to the beautiful face in front of me.

After a while, I laughed softly: "If you are stupid, what are you talking about?"

She also chuckled: "Cousin, I don't believe you didn't understand."

"..."

"You're a smart person, and an understanding person. I made it so clear that I'm not like you as a fool."

"..."

This time, I remained silent for a little longer.

Obviously, she was right, and I didn't hear it wrong-forming an alliance to help me, this is what she came to say.

but--

I looked at the few strands of hair on her forehead, covering her gentle eyes, and when she lowered her head to embroider, her fingers turned like flying butterflies. Woman, why would you say that to me.

I looked at her with a smile: "Well, I don't pretend to be stupid. But I don't understand. If you are stupid, why would you say that to me? What is the purpose of forming an alliance with me?"

She smiled and said, "Because I need my cousin's help, I know that my cousin also needs my help now."

I raised an eyebrow.

She laughed: "Tell cousin first. This time my aunt called us back, just when the host was unwell, and the cousin's, that--" She hesitated, looking at me slightly. With a dim look, he didn't finish, then went on to say: "The war is going on outside, the current situation is very clear. Nishikawa can no longer be as good as he was then, so he must find an alliance."

She said, pulling out the slender needle, then looking at me, with a little sharpness in her eyes: "This time, it will determine the future destiny of Nishikawa."

"..."

"The cousin and the owner, the two of you and the old lady have different opinions. The old lady asked grandfather and they came to suppress the homeowner. If there is no help from the cousin, it is likely to fall this time. The situation is difficult to control. "

"..."

"So, cousin needs some support."

I didn't expect that she would clarify the current situation and the dilemma I faced in a few words.

This little woman really looks like a torch.

My smile was a little more cautious. Watching her holding an embroidery needle, she looked like a ladylike girl, and smiled, "After I've finished, let me talk about you. I need your support, what about you? You need What do I do for you? "

She looked up at me and said calmly and solemnly: "I need a cousin, you win."

"..."

My eyebrows froze slightly: "What do you mean?"

She said, "Cousin, I saw my brother today."

"Yes, got it."

I only said so briefly in my mouth, in fact, what I wanted to say was--I also saw more than once, Yan Zicong was drunk, and laughed at the maid. When I remembered it, I frowned involuntarily, and saw me. In this way, Yan Ruoyu laughed immediately: "The cousin is also a very knowledgeable person, and I probably saw it long ago, my brother, he-it's not a device."

"..."

"He is the standard sister-in-law, who does not learn anything. In addition to my sister-in-law, the family married a three-room sister-in-law, and every day he went out to spend a lot of time drinking wine, playing tricks, and visiting the blue house."

"..."

"To be honest, I have been studying with the gentleman at home with him since he was a kid, his qualifications-"

She probably couldn't bear to finish this sentence, but when I didn't finish, I heard her chuckling coldly.

I looked at Yan Ruoyu for a moment, and her gentle and beautiful face was still a faint expression, and there were not too many emotional ups and downs. But from those gentle eyes, I could see the plain disdain and unwillingness, However, I haven't noticed several times during the day.

I reluctantly laughed, "But what does this matter have to do with this time?"

Yan Ruoyu looked at me and said with a smile, "I don't think my brother is qualified to be the owner."

"..."

As soon as this sentence came out, I felt like the needle in her hand had stuck to me.

I trembled suddenly.

She meant--

Yan Ruoyu looked at me with a slight shock in his face and said, "He has no talent, but because he is a man, he knows that he has no talent. He knows that he is just an uncle, grandfather who might ruin his family business, grandpa. And his father still gave him the family business. "

"Then your family business ..."

"I've taken care of everything in the family over the years."

"..."

"I just didn't show any traces. Outsiders couldn't see it."

"..."

"Cousin, I'm not convinced."

"..."

"Since I can do it, why can't I take the family business into my own hands?"

My breath became a little hastily with her words, but I still pressed and don't show it too much, just looking at her gentle face, I still couldn't help laughing: "I didn't think you would Have that idea. "

She looked at me with a smile: "The cousin must think that I should be the kind of person who can be most receptive."

"Look at you, it should be."

"It's been so many years, but now I don't want to."

"..."

I was still silent. She looked up at me and said, "I need to influence his homeowner with one thing, but a little thing is not enough to convince me, but this time it is enough The situation that will affect the world in the future will have a bearing on the survival of Nishikawa, and will naturally affect the fate of each of us. "

I said, "Do you think this is an opportunity?"

"Yes! My aunt convened everyone to Chengdu this time, and it was exactly what I wanted."

"..."

"I want to take this opportunity to prove to the Yan family and to everyone that he has no ability at all and he cannot make the right choice. Only in this way will I be able to drive him out of his current position. May get the power they want. "

"..."

"Cousin, I want to ally with you."

"..."

"And, I will help you win!"

"..."

"Because, it's not you who wins alone, but we both win together!"

I still looked at her without talking, and she didn't have too many expressions on her face, but only I knew that at this moment my heart was ups and downs.

I didn't expect Yan Ruoyu to be such a woman.

With a gentle appearance, he has such a mind and such courage.

This is how many women ca n’t even dream of dreaming. Even if she is arrogant like Xue Yan, she can only rely on her mother ’s power to suppress her face, but I do n’t think she would ever want to seize the owner of the Yan family. Location, but this gentle and graceful woman in front of her eyes has a more powerful heart than others!

Moreover, in a few words, she has told me simply but clearly that the two of us are on a boat of shared interests, not me alone, but the two sides win together-a win-win situation! In this case, it is difficult for me to reject her proposal.

It seems that she just said that she has taken care of the family business on behalf of Yan Zicong over the years, which should not be a lie.

Seeing that I was silent all the time, she was calm, but she couldn't help saying "Cousin?"

I looked up at her.

She asked, "What do you think?"

"..."

I've been silent for a little longer, and the frowns on my brows have deepened. She seems to have realized something herself, and the body that was originally leaning forward has subconsciously fallen back a bit, so that she doesn't look so anxious. Began to embroider the silk scarf.

But her fingertips shook slightly.

She said, "Cousin thinks, is someone like me terrible?"

"..."

"I dare not tell anyone, because men have such an idea, they have ambitions, but women have such an idea, they just feel restless."

"..."

"But I'm just upset."

"..."

"Cousin, I heard that you have traveled south and north in the past few years, and you have gone to many places where the women in the maiden ca n’t imagine, and have done many things that the women in the maiden cannot imagine. Now, even if my aunt is already an elder, there is no way You impose interference. "

"..."

"I think we are the same people."

I looked up at her, and said with a complicated look: "We two are different."

"At least, we are not like that," she said.

"..."

I cannot refute this sentence.

Yes, at least she and I are not "that way."

Interestingly, both of me and her are surnamed Yan, and they are both gentle and gentle, and they look kind and deceptive. Do the women of the Yan family have the same looks, but have the same mindset?

Seeing that I hadn't spoken, as if still hesitating, she was silent, and said, "Cousin, I came to Chengdu on the first day of today and came to you because I believe that you will be allied with me."

I didn't hold back this time and smiled slightly: "Why are you so confident?"

She said: "Because we both want to win together, of course I will help you in this matter, but more importantly-you are worrying about one thing now, as a condition of the alliance, I can give you the answer."

My heart trembled suddenly and looked up at her: "You know where Pei Yuanxiu went ?!"

She nodded. "Yes, I know."
