Chapter 4： the taste of playing weak

Chapter 4 The Taste of Playing Weak

Some people always covet other people's things for no reason.

It was the same in the previous life, and it is also the same in the new life.

Just as Bu Yao was placed on the checkout wooden table, a certain woman walked over with a swaying figure, with an incredible expression on her face:

"This step... Could it be that my sister also fell in love?"

I didn't want to argue with her so early...

However, some people are haunted!

Ruan Youqing narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said in a light tone, "This... is also what my sister liked a few days ago?"

"What a coincidence, I really want to give this step to the empress. But before I could go up to get it, I saw you took it off. Look..." The woman had a somewhat embarrassed expression on her face , but Ruan Youqing saw clearly the sarcasm in his eyes.

The jade was said to be given to the queen, but Ruan Youqing believed it for the time being.

As for Bu Yao...

Anyone who has been in and out of the palace and met the queen knows that she has never liked walking.

This Rong Yan, as always, likes to pretend to be powerful.

What kind of queen is she? I'm afraid Rong Yan, a niece, doesn't know much about herself!

after all…

In the harem in the previous life, the two of them have so many bonds. Young and innocent, she was always easily bullied by this pair of aunt and nephew.

And...Rong Yan always likes to pretend to be weak and considerate.

Before Fan'er could react, Ruan Youqing took out the handkerchief in his arms and coughed heavily, and then said in a trembling tone:

"But... this step is for my mother who I haven't seen in more than ten years..." Speaking of this, Ruan Youqing's eyes were actually a little wet.

Miss Rong looked at the other party's sudden change of expression in shock, feeling a little at a loss for the first time.

Coincidentally, at this time, a few young masters in brocade clothes and jade robes came in. Some of them seemed to know Miss Rong, so they came over to say hello.

"Why, is sister Yan'er in trouble?" The pretty-looking man casually glanced at Ruan Youqing and asked.

Ruan Youqing caught sight of this man out of the corner of his eye, and instantly knew the identity of the man in his heart. Before he could react, Ruan Youqing took the lead and said, "Young Master, I'm afraid you misunderstood. Unfortunately, this elder sister and I both fell in love with the same two things. The previous jade has already been bought by elder sister. But this... Shake..." Ruan Youqing seemed to be unsteady, leaned on Fan'er, took a breath before continuing:

"I...have been separated from my mother since I was a child. My mother once wrote to me that she wanted a lotus-covered opal Bu Yao very much. I happened to meet here. I don’t know when I will see my mother. After being separated for more than ten years, I... just want to give her a surprise. It's not that I want to take something from my sister, but it's not easy to meet Bu Yao who I like so much. I... don't want to disappoint my mother, and I don't want my sister to dislike her. Happy...I...I really don't know what to do..."

As he spoke, Ruan Youqing coughed a few more times, tears even slipped from the corners of his eyes.

Seeing this, Fan'er supported his young lady with a worried face, and her eyes were red: "Miss, don't be impatient, you have been weak since childhood, but you can't stand such a toss. It must be sad to give her a gift and fall ill in bed. And Miss, this Miss Rong is kind-hearted, I think she will understand your thoughts."

At this time, Ruan Youqing's face was very pale, and the hair on his temples was also soaked in sweat. The delicate and helpless appearance makes it easy for people to feel pity.

Powerless anger rushed into Rong Yan's heart instantly.

She is over 20 years old, not too old, but she is no longer young among unmarried ladies from aristocratic families. Therefore, every time she sees a girl who is younger and more beautiful than her, she is always full of jealousy. Because the queen is the elder of the family, she was taught to hide her emotions from a young age, but she can bear her temper and pretend to be educated and reasonable.

But! Whatever she sees in her eyes, she will never let it out!

Now, she could have easily snatched both of these things!

As for giving it to the queen? It's just an excuse! The queen's aunt has never liked such things as Bu Yao!

But the sudden behavior of the little girl in front of her caught her off guard. If the other party complained so pitifully that she bought things away, it would definitely appear that she was unreasonable.

Thinking of this, Rong Yan gritted her teeth secretly, and said: "My sister is like this, no matter what my sister says, it is impossible to take away the love in your heart."

Ruan Youqing looked up at the man who had just spoken for Rong Yan, and said a little embarrassedly: "But... how will my sister explain to the empress?"

"Yan'er wants to give this step to the empress?" The man who just spoke looked at Rong Yan with a strange expression when he heard this.

This acquaintance, Rong Yan, is the eldest son of Wei Wangfu. The relationship between Wei Wang and the emperor is very good, and the eldest son who often goes to and from the palace naturally knows the queen's preferences.

Thinking of this, Rong Yan blushed hurriedly and said: "The Empress is not in a hurry, my sister needs it so much, just take it!" After saying that, she turned to Prince Wei and said, "In a few days, it will be flowers. During the court meeting, the empress specially sent me to help her keep an eye out for beautiful ornaments outside the palace for rewards."

Cooked the corners of her lips, Ruan Youqing continued to look pitiful: "But sister just said..."

How could Rong Yan wait for her to finish speaking, and hurriedly pulled a slightly stiff smile and stuffed the jade that had just been wrapped into Ruan Youqing's hands, and then said: "The jade just now is also for my sister." After leaving the group of young masters, Rong Yan looked at Ruan Youqing with cold eyes.

Ruan Youqing couldn't see the threat from the other party, blinked, and said in a low voice: "But... I didn't bring so much silver when I went out. If my sister doesn't mind, I will definitely come to the door and send the jade silver in full. .”

Rong Yan, who was already planning to give away the jade for free, felt like a dense layer of thorns covered her heart when she heard these words, which made her feel uncomfortable all over.

"Sister, don't worry about it. Today we meet, it's really fate. This jade..." Rong Yan took a deep breath before she was able to continue: "Quan is my sister's meeting gift for you."

"This..." Ruan Youqing looked a little embarrassed, and the sudden redness on her face made her even more delicate.

"Take it!" Rong Yan hurriedly stuffed the jade into her arms again.

Seeing this, Prince Wei hooked his lips and said, "Just now when I came in, I thought there was some conflict between the two of you, but now it seems that I have treated the two gentlemen's stomachs with the heart of a villain."

Although Rong Yan was ashamed, she still had a decent smile on her face.

But Ruan Youqing caught a glimpse of her slightly trembling clenched hands hidden under her sleeves.

It turns out that playing weak to attract sympathy is like this.

Slowly slashing at the opponent's flesh and blood without a trace, but it made her more happy than stabbing her directly.

…

In a certain room on the second floor, a clear figure moved, and then the owner of the figure let out a low laugh.

Ruan Youqing's every move was watched by this person through the window.

"This little girl is a little different."

「How does the master see it?」

"The playfulness in her eyes is a bit similar to the white fox raised by my grandmother. And... there may be some little secrets hidden in the veil she just wore."
