Withdraw? Suiyun, is it really because you're in such a hurry that you've developed too quickly, and not because you can't swallow the entire Shui family as soon as possible? The Shui Family had not suffered any heavy injuries. All they had now were the results of some of their own family members taking revenge on them from the inside out. What I need you to do is just be honest and listen to the tasks of the Shui family. "Also, it's best not to come looking for me all the time.
Shui Long looked calm and collected, apparently unaffected by Suiyun's actions.
When Suiyun heard this, he could not help but sigh. "Eldest Miss is truly a smart person. But Eldest Miss, are you really at ease to let others help you?"
Shui Long heard this and smiled. Then he used the same attitude and sighed, "Suiyun, you're also a smart person. Don't you know that even if you get the Shui family, you can't control the other branch families? What you have now is the real bubble. When the main clan of the Shui clan fell, the Shui clan no longer existed. All you want is a body. Obtaining a water clan is just an extravagant request and an envy. "
Shui Ruo's words made Suiyun frown. He looked at the water for a long time before he left.
Although Shui Wuyin did not completely believe Suiyun's words, his arrival also caused him to worry about the fact that the crown prince and the Night Emperor were helping her. It had to be said that in a certain sense, Suiyun's words were correct. If the Shui family could always receive other people's help and not recover on its own. The Water Family will be destroyed.
After all, no one would help her forever. So in this sense, Suiyun was right, and she really should think of something.
However, that was not the time. The current Shui family needed the help of the crown prince. Only when Shui Jiayi stood up again could she think about this.
The matter of the Shui family being the wealthiest was the glory of all the generations of the Shui family. They could not afford to fall behind! After losing this, the Shui Family was no longer the Shui Family.
Shui Yuehan felt a headache coming on.
Ahhh! Seriously! Damn Suiyun! Why are you messing with my mood!
"That's because you're already in a state of disarray, Miss." The man's voice suddenly rang out, scaring the water out of his body.
"Damn!" Why are you back? "
"Because I've been thinking about a problem." Suiyun looked at the water and walked towards her.
"Hmm? "What's the problem?" The water flowed slowly, not understanding.
"Miss, is it really you? Was it really not an act? The young mistress looked very different from before. It could even be said that she was a completely different person. The matters of the Shui family were no longer the same as before. Moreover, he seemed to be confident in the young lady's ability to answer her own questions. All of this was very strange. If it was a young lady of the past, perhaps she would be in the midst of wailing for the spring and the autumn. So, who are you? "
The man looked at Shui Long and asked coldly.
He didn't expect that Suiyun's observation skills would be so good. Shui Ruo was also caught off guard. Looking at Suiyun, Shui Ruo frowned.
"Won't you answer me? But it doesn't matter. Soon, I'll know the truth. At that time, I only hope that Miss can remain calm. " Saying that, Suiyun turned and left.
Shui Yuehan looked at Suiyun, a complicated look on his face.
If she could, she didn't want the water to flow back into her body, but it was impossible.
If something happened, then it was destined that they wouldn't be able to go back.
Looking at Suiyun, a helpless smile appeared on Shui Yuehan's face. Little did he know how sad Suiyun looked with his back facing her.
Everyone had a sense of love. This love, maybe it would be known by the other party, maybe it would be forever hidden. Suiyun was no exception.
He could still remember the first time he saw her, it was during the marriage ceremony between the East Courtyard and the Shui family. Since then, the East Courtyard and the Shui family could no longer be separated.
At that time, she was wearing a brocade robe. She was small and had combed her hair like a bun. She looked very cute.
She had a pair of large, animal-like eyes that made people want to love her when they saw her.
At that time, Suyun was ten years old, and she, was seven years old. Later, when he grew up, Suiyun knew that in this world, everyone was not equal, and he was only a branch of the Shui family. No matter what, he could not touch that person again.
That girl, too, had grown up. She had become beautiful, breathtaking, and there were already many people who liked her. What followed was her reputation spreading far and wide.
Jealousy? Of course, did he hate it? Of course.
In Suiyun's heart, he always felt that this girl was his. Later, when the seven branch families were working together, he proposed such a plan.
It was a plan that could crush him to death.
It was from then on that she would no longer smile. No one liked her anymore, and even if they did, there wouldn't be a good ending.
He thought his family was the reason, so he did what he wanted to do the most. Dirty? Never felt that way. He simply wanted to protect the girl he loved.
That woman was called Shui Ruo.
Perhaps, she knew that he liked her, so she silently allowed him to do as he pleased. She had seen him do bad things, but it was as if she had never heard of it.
She had smiled back at him, but only when she was injured and woke up again did she seem like a stranger.
She became strong and popular again. However, she would no longer have anything to do with him.
In fact, when she saw him again, there wasn't a single ripple in her eyes. At first he thought she had changed. But it was only after a long time that he realized that she wasn't the one who had changed. But, people were different.
In this world, there was no one who knew her better than him, so after interacting with her for a long time, he was almost certain that this woman was not her.
Just a woman with her body.
When love was a thing of the past, he was speechless. He didn't dare to think about it, didn't dare to look at it. He was afraid that a single glance would cause his heart to break.
If I can't love her, maybe I can only hate her?
Suiyun never would have thought that that person would leave him, much less that person would no longer know him.
Shui Ruo looked at Suiyun's lonely back, feeling curious. What was it that made him guess that he was not a carefree person?
Was it because his gaze was too vicious, or was it because there was another secret?
Whatever it was, she would find out.
Recently, he had been quite busy, but in fact, he was very free. And her life, getting up every morning, walking. At noon, he would have to deal with the princess consort who would suddenly come over, as well as Ling'er, who would occasionally come over to befriend him. At night, he would play chess with the Night Emperor and then sleep on his own.
This life was monotonous to the point that it made her feel listless.
That day, in the morning, he heard the Crown Princess's voice, "Sister, wake up quickly. We are going to enter the palace."
The Crown Princess's voice was full of anxiety. Entering the palace had also sobered Shui. She sat up abruptly, tidied herself up, and opened the door.
And then he saw the Crown Princess's smile, "Sister, from today on, we are going to the palace to prepare for the feast. Ling'er's concubine will come with us. [That's right. There is also the Prime Minister's daughter. She will go to Wan'er.] "Ah, that girl has been infatuated with the Third Marquis for quite some time." The Crown Princess seemed to say something, but she sounded serious.
As expected, the Crown Princess wouldn't let her off easy.
"Let's go." The Crown Princess looked at Shui Ruo and said with a smile.
Shui Ruo couldn't reject her, so she followed her into the palace.
The carriage was still filled with water, the Crown Princess and Ling'er.
However, Ling'er and the Crown Princess weren't as good as they used to be. The two of them now could be said to be at loggerheads.
In short, they had to pinch each other when they saw each other. Only in this way would their lives have any meaning. Shui Ruo, who was used to seeing two people fighting, was sitting in the corner.
"Big sister, your outfit looks quite good today. I wonder who you're going to wear it for?" Ling'er's tone was sour and taunting.
Hearing that, Shangguan Yun's face was full of pride: "Humph! No matter what, this concubine will always be this gorgeous. Unlike you, who are always lacking in just two things. "
"Elder sister, this is not a sign of being shabby, but a sign of perseverance. Look at Miss Shui, aren't there only a few of them? "
"Humph!" Shangguan Yun snorted coldly.
As for Shui Long, who had been shot innocently, he remained silent as he listened to the two of them pick a fight.
As a matter of fact, when two people were fighting, it was not very nutritious.
Most of them were for the Night Emperor Flame. As for Night Emperor Yan, due to the relationship she mentioned, he seemed to always go to Ling'er's side. This caused the imperial concubine to become even more unhappy.
That was true. The Crown Princess had kept her room for so many years, but Ling'er had received the love of the Crown Prince the moment she arrived. If she was in his place, she would have been angry.
And so, in the midst of their fierce struggle, Shui Chou came with them to the palace.
A mama from the empress dowager's palace came to greet him. When this mama saw the water, she sized it up once more. He clearly didn't understand why she would follow him.
"Momo, this is an esteemed guest of my residence. His Highness the Crown Prince has said that he hopes that she can help out as well."
The Crown Princess assumed the title of the Crown Prince, which made the mama no longer dare to doubt her. She had no choice but to bring them in.
When they arrived at the empress's chambers, the empress was drinking tea. Seeing that Shui Yuehan was following her, the empress revealed a gentle smile and waved at him.
Shui Ruo saw this and walked over. "Greetings to the empress."
"Rise. What a beautiful girl. The last time you left without saying goodbye, it made me want to break down. Come, come, let me have a look. Tsk tsk, such a beautiful girl, how could she have made such a face last time? "
The way the empress acted as if we were very familiar with each other surprised Shui Ruo a little.
When she heard the empress mention makeup, Shui gave a long laugh. "Esteemed empress, I've spent a long time researching makeup. Would you like to try it?"
Hearing that, the empress's smile froze for a moment and she quickly replied, "I can't do that. You've only just arrived. It's not good for you to waste your time on me. Compared to this, why did you leave last time? I was still thinking about giving you some small gifts when you left. "
The queen's words fell as she grumbled at Shui Long.
When Shui Ruo heard this, he could only say, "It's not that this humble daughter wants to leave without saying goodbye. It's just that His Highness suddenly took this humble daughter away. This humble daughter can't say goodbye to the empress in time, so I ask for your forgiveness, esteemed empress's forgiveness."
Shui Long said respectfully.
Hearing that, the smile on the empress's face softened a lot. She looked at her and said, "How can I bear to punish a cute girl like you? Forget it, let this matter pass. "
On the other side, the empress and Shui Ruo were on good terms, causing Shangguan Yun to feel depressed. She walked up and said, "Your daughter-in-law pays her respects to the empress, the empress feels extremely blessed."
Shangguan Yun bowed respectfully to the empress, her small face beaming as she looked at the empress. He couldn't find any imperfection in etiquette.
The Queen originally did not hate Shangguan Yun, but the reason why she ignored her was because she wanted to get closer to Shui Ruo. After all, Shui Yuehan had a better status than the Crown Princess in the Crown Prince's Palace.
Previously, for the sake of the crown prince's consort, she had already made Night Emperor Yan dissatisfied with her. The mother and son pair could not have any grudges between them, so the empress began to treat Shui Ruo better with this thought in her mind.
Now, looking at Shangguan Yun, the empress could only smile and say, "Child, after so many years, you're still so polite. Arise, I'll leave today's harem matters to you. The emperor has taken a fancy to this New Year's Eve banquet, so you have to do your job well. " The Queen's tone was gentle as she looked at Shangguan Yun and reminded her.
When Shangguan Yun heard this, she hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes mother, daughter-in-law will definitely live up to your and the emperor's expectations."
In this imperial harem, the first thing one needed to do in order to stand firm was to observe the expressions and expressions of others. Of course, this was all about others. And the empress had to balance the so-called gap between the factions. She could not allow anyone to show their face, because once someone did, it would be a threat to her.
As for Shui Ruo and Shangguan Yun, she also had her own considerations.
