Lin Hua Palace.
Imperial Concubine Liang sat upright in her imperial chair, a gentle smile on her face. She nodded in satisfaction as she looked at the two people kneeling before her.
Lian Ruyue kneeled on the ground with her hands pressed to her forehead, bowing. She was wearing a long dress of rose and red flowery dark clouds, with a comb close to her chignon, and a jade eight treasure hairpin in between her hair. Unlike her usual cold and elegant appearance, she had an extra elegance that was just right for her. On her face that was like a hibiscus face, her willow-shaped eyebrows were like almonds.
Beside her was her younger brother, Lian Lian Fu. He was dressed in a brocade robe and was as beautiful as jade and had a graceful bearing to him.
Lian Ruyue said, "The Imperial Concubine's good fortune is that she and her younger brother came together to thank you for saving our mother from danger. We will never forget the great kindness you have shown us."
"If the Empress had not intervened in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable." Lian Dao continued.
Imperial Concubine Liang raised a hand. "There's no need to be so courteous. Both of you, brother and sister, get up quickly."
"Thank you, esteemed Empress." Lian Ruyue lifted up her body and saw Grand Concubine Liang's kind expression. She smiled faintly. Her face was like a flower bud blooming in spring, tender and glistening.
"Come, sit." The two eunuchs brought two chairs over and placed them on the left side, and Lian Xiyue and Lian Fu sat down on the chairs.
"Is Lady Lian well?" Imperial Consort Liang asked with concern.
Empress Dowager Xie was very concerned, but fortunately esteemed wangfei sent Imperial Physician Rong in time. Mother saved the fetus in her womb, and now the situation has stabilized. Mother also said that she should enter the palace today to express her gratitude, but she was afraid that her body would bump into the Empress after taking the medicine. Lian Ruyue slowly and courteously spoke. Her every word and action was dignified and elegant; she was respectful and humble, neither servile nor overbearing. This made the imperial concubine greatly praise her in her heart.
Speaking of which, you're my savior and Zhuo'er's savior. If you didn't see that there was something wrong with Fang Yingyu, then you would have taken out the wooden figure under the tree and replaced it with an iron birch. On the night of Esteemed Empress Dowager's birthday, both of us might have suffered. Grand Concubine Liang still felt a lingering fear as she thought back to that day. If it weren't for the fact that the moon had discovered the problem in time, the empress and the crippled crown prince would both have ended up in the same state.
"That day, it was like the moon had also accidentally discovered that Fang You was absent-minded, which caused her to become suspicious. The real person who found the wooden puppet was the Ninth Prince himself." Lian Ruyue obviously did not plan to tell Consort Liang that she found out from the wound on Fang Yuping's palm that she was from the Fourth Prince. That was why she was able to find the flaw.
"You, don't be modest. I have already recognized you as the savior of our lives. "Rest assured, I will not go into detail about how you found the flaw. Your heart is for me and Zheng'er, that is enough." Imperial Concubine Liang had a heart of orchids. She could see that there was something that was difficult to explain about Moon, so she didn't ask any further.
"The Empress's heart is clear. She knows everything." Lian Ru Yue bashfully smiled. Lian Fu Yue discovered that when she was with Imperial Consort Liang, she didn't feel pressured by the position and power of being a noble. Instead, she felt like she was talking with her parents and elders.
"And you, the incantation …" Imperial Concubine Liang looked kindly and gently at the young man in front of her and said, "I have remembered how many times you spoke up for the Ninth Prince that day. You two are very loyal, and you two are very different from the common children of noble families.
He rose to his feet and bowed. "Your Highness praises me too much. I have only done what I thought I should do now."
"Not everyone has the courage to do this." Imperial Concubine Liang looked at Lian Lian Fang and also liked him very much. She felt that this young man was different from the others. He was noble and elegant, and had a very pure and clear temperament to him.
"The ninth prince has arrived!" At this time, a loud and clear voice came from outside the door. A figure quickly walked in. Grand Concubine Liang raised her head to look and was immediately stunned. The handkerchief in her hand almost dropped to the ground.
Lian Ru Yue turned her head over when she heard that and was obviously stunned for a moment. 'This, this is the Ninth Prince?'
When he turned his head and saw the man walking over, his eyes widened. His face revealed an astonished expression as he blinked his eyes — —
They saw that Feng Yunzheng was wearing a dark red robe with flowing clouds and dark patterns on it. The brim of the whip was embedded with dark golden velvet, and he was like a ball of hot flames as he came over.
When the servants at the side saw Feng Yunzheng's attire, they were also suspicious that they had seen wrongly. Was this person who was celebrating in front of them was really the indifferent and estranged Ninth Prince from the past? He always wore a cold and detached robe, and his clothes were as white as snow, spotless and clean.
But today, it turned out like this, this was … What's wrong?
Right now, the two knew that they were reborn, so when they saw each other again, they had a strange feeling in their hearts. It was the kind of joy of reuniting after a long time, and coincidentally — —
Her body was also red in color, and she looked like a peony in full bloom. Recalling what the night wind had said, his heart was overjoyed.
Was Yue'er like him, giving up her usual elegance and intentionally wearing red dress to avoid making him feel too close to her? Was this a hint?
Thinking of this, his smile became even more doting.
"Ninth Prince." When he walked closer, Lian Xiyue and Lian Fu finally recovered from their shock and got up to greet him.
"No need for formalities." Feng Yunzheng raised his hand and walked all the way in front of Imperial Concubine Liang. Only then did he withdraw his gaze from Lian Xiyue and said, "Imperial Concubine."
Imperial Concubine Liang couldn't help but size up her son from head to toe, covering her mouth as she laughed, "Zheng'er, why did you suddenly come? Why didn't you get anyone to greet you in advance?"
Feng Yunzheng slightly smiled and said, "This son wishes to come."
"Come on, come on, sit down." Imperial Concubine Liang looked at Lian Xiyue and then at Feng Yunzheng and said, "Look, this is such a coincidence. The two of you are dressed in red, and it looks like you're especially harmonious.
When Lian Ruyue heard this, she slightly lowered her head and said, "Ru Yue didn't expect that Ninth Prince would also wear red."
At this moment, when she thought about how Feng Yunzheng was someone who had reincarnated together with her, the feeling in her heart changed a little when she saw him again.
It was as if the two of them were hiding a secret that only they understood. The two of them shared a secret that the person beside the secret did not know, so they inexplicably felt closer to each other.
