As it turned out, on this trip, in addition to preventing the barbarians and unrest from the north of the Yan Kingdom, Emperor Qing He also had the intention of inspecting the children of the various noble clans. After all, the imperial daughter's family still needed young people.
Seeing that she had agreed, Shay's gaze shifted to her face, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. Ru Yi also had a smile on her face as she asked softly, "Aunt and Uncle don't know about my situation, right?"
Seeing him nod slightly, he smiled and said, "It's not good to know about this, it's better to be more at ease. Don't tell them, even if you see me outside, don't be as casual as you are now, I will make the rest. If you feel wronged, you can listen to it when there's no one else, alright?"
She spoke so earnestly that Xue Qianyun's ears turned red. This time, he didn't nod his head and agreed.
Ru Yi heaved a sigh of relief. "There are a lot of people going out this time, many of them are of higher status than your uncle. Normally, you don't interact with them, but if there is someone who is rude, you don't need to be polite, but don't be impulsive, and don't hurt yourself …"
Hearing her tone, Xue Xianyun started to get annoyed and nagging like his mother. He frowned and was a bit dissatisfied. As an older sister, how could it be easy for her to persuade him? Even the fourth princess in the palace had never received such sincere concern from Ye Ci! He really spoilt him!
Ru Yi moved her fingers on the stone table. She really wanted to beat him up, but she resisted herself in the end.
There was no rush to beat someone up. He was just such an awkward child. If she were to lower herself to his level, wouldn't she be angering herself to death?
"Alright, have a taste. This is the spring water I brought out. Do you want some tea or just some water?"
Xue Xianyun felt that since she didn't have to pretend to be an adult, she should be able to give him a proper answer, "I'll listen to you. I don't drink much tea, I'll just drink some water most of the time."
Ru Yi smiled slightly as she pressed the word "good boy" down her throat with great difficulty. He placed the cup in his hand and said, "The spring water is also very sweet and very tasty."
Xue Caiyun lowered his head and took a sip. When he looked up and saw her bright eyes looking at him, he nodded and said, "It does taste a little sweet."
Ru Yi then asked, "What kind of tea do you like, uncle and aunt? I have a lot there, and usually no one drinks it. Next time I bring you some, why don't you give it to them?"
She nodded. "Mother likes black tea in the winter, green tea in the summer, and as for Father, he likes Mount Lu's cloudy tea …"
Then, without further ado, if he did not think of his brother and sister-in-law at all, he pointed to them. "What about your brother and sister-in-law?"
Xue Ning Yun rolled his eyes at her, "I don't know. I think you should drink all kinds of tea. "
Ru Yi could only smile. She didn't expect him to know anything about relationships.
"Then I'll go back and find some. If there's any tea, I'll make some for you. You can just see to it that the people you send away are not fond of you …"
Thinking of something, he took out two beads from his sleeve, and placed them in the hands of the giver. With a smile, he asked, "You might be able to tell which one is the one you gave me?"
Her hands were white, with a hint of pink in the middle, and her fingers were slender and long. What kind of jade bamboo shoots? Her hands were soft and gentle, making two strings of obsidian beads look especially bright.
After he understood what she meant, he laughed at her boredom in his heart, but at the same time, he also had other emotions. He couldn't tell what she was thinking, so he could only turn his head and say, "I can't tell."
He had not forgotten to give her a string of obsidian beads, but ever since he had learned of her identity, he had never thought that she would still be able to keep it. After all, no matter how inexperienced he was, he knew that the palace had countless good things.
For example, his kung fu was no different from a three-legged cat in the eyes of the imperial guards. She was the imperial concubine and possessed all the good things in the world.
Xue Xianyun was not interested, and Ru Yi was also a little embarrassed. She felt that she had been too stupid, so she excitedly found a big box of beads and spent four hours to put it on. Not only did she waste her precious sleeping time, she even almost left behind a black eye before withdrawing her hand.
However, Xue Xianyun opened his mouth again, "Which string is the one I gave you?" She stared at her hand.
Ru Yi pouted slightly. She didn't know that her expression was one of extreme stubbornness. Anyone who saw her would be tempted by her.
Even though she was usually calm and mature, she was actually still only a twelve-year-old girl. Previously, she had tolerated Xue Qianyun a lot because she felt that she was in the wrong. Now that she had done so much and received only indifference instead of a response, it made it difficult for her to accept it.
The corner of Zhao Yun's lips curled up as he stood up. Ever since she took the two beads from his hands, she had purposely forgotten about the soft touch of his fingers …
In fact, Ji Yun really had no impression of those pearls from earlier, and it was not as if the string of beads that was given to him had been rubbed by him all day, so the two beads were really hard to distinguish. He saw that he had no choice but to give up after a quarter-of-an-hour, and could only open his mouth and say, "I really can't tell."
This time, her tone of voice was much softer, but it was still a pity that it was Ru Yi's turn to be ungrateful.
Seeing that her eyes were lowered and her long eyelashes were raised, and her expression was still cold, but she was not annoying or infuriating, but instead made people's hearts uncontrollably happy. It also made his heart go soft, so he couldn't help but to stand beside her and whisper again.
He gave in, and Ru Yi did not take advantage of the situation to pursue him. He only took one string and gave it to him, but put the other one on his own hand. What a joke. She had just lost a battle against Ye Ci, and now she was going to win the second one no matter what. She had to win even if she tried to be shameless.
Shay Yun held the obsidian beads, but his eyes were still glued to the string on her wrist. He didn't say anything more.
Ru Yi stood up and was about to leave, but when she took four or five steps, Xue Qianyun reacted. He stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and said quickly, "You're trying to coax me."
She pursed her lips and smiled with a hint of pride on her face. It was because he had pulled her back that she was exposed to him …
Xue Chaoyun couldn't help but laugh along with her. He didn't come to be angry with her in the first place.
Previously, he had never felt that she was such a petty person, but this had also made him happy. He felt that she was very close to him, but he had never thought that if it came to others, he would probably think that she was just teasing him!
The two of them were dressed in the same color, but there were also patterns on their clothes. The sunlight shone through the trees and onto their shoulders. The two of them were like jade and beautiful, their lips were red and white, clean and refreshing.
Finally, they looked at each other and smiled, this smile was filled with intimacy and indulgence, both of them had a feeling that there was a most beloved and intimate friend in the world, perhaps they still did not know what love was, but at this moment, kinship was enough to let them feel extremely close to each other.
Big Cloud still had a smile on his face when he returned to his living quarters.
When night came, she told her mother that she wanted to join the army, which Lady Xue obviously didn't agree with. But this time, before she could retort, Xue Qianyun took the initiative and said, "
Father had just been promoted to the fourth rank, so it wouldn't be good if any of us didn't go. Elder brother is a Scholar, and he also works in the Han Lin Institution, so logically, he should be going.
"But if sister-in-law gets pregnant, if brother goes, then maybe when sister-in-law gives birth to a little nephew, she won't be able to come back. If I go, then brother doesn't have any martial arts to accompany him. My martial arts may be ordinary, but protecting myself won't be a problem …"
Every man had the intention to build a career. Lady Xue sighed. "Let me think about it." After thinking for two days, he finally agreed.
Zhanyun was so happy that he knelt down and kowtowed, "Your son is unfilial and has worried your mother."
Lady Xue helped him up. "It's good to go out for a walk before you're married, but it's better to greet your master …" There was something she didn't say, which was that she wanted Master Wu to take care of him along the way.
Xue Xianyun nodded, "Your son will write a letter and let Master know." But Master would definitely not be able to come.
"Mother is looking forward to your safe return …"
Xue Xianyun solemnly nodded his head. Not only had he returned safely, he had to bring her back safely …
"Imperial Father, why don't you reprimand me in the imperial court for a while, and then I can be confined to the East Palace and read by myself …"
Emperor Qinghu shook his head. "What a rotten idea. What if I ruin your reputation?" You should prepare yourself, but since this is a forbidden land, you are not allowed to bring your people with you from the Eastern Palace. Li Rou, Green Bamboo, Zhou Xuan are to stay behind.
"I will give you the authority to act first, behead first, and report later. At that time, if there are any unusual circumstances, you can adjust the forces of the Blue and Cloud provinces …"
At last, his voice carried a harsh tone. "Come back safe and sound for me, or else, hmph …"
Seeing that the noble emperor of Yan Country was about to have a nose, eyes, and nose, Ru Yi immediately knelt down with her hands in a fist and lightly punched his leg. She then said in a very sincere voice, "Your son understands."
His daughter was about to fly, so it was obvious how Emperor Qing He was feeling. He did not know that there was a little brat who wanted to fly with his daughter, if he knew, then he would definitely make Xue Junyun laugh.
It just so happened that someone from the imperial court said, "Your highness, in September and around the age of 15 … "You can get engaged first …"
He had hinted that it was time to find a man for a woman. Even if His Majesty had said that they would be married at the age of eighteen, he still had to set a couple, right?
If not, all the men in the capital would have to wait, and those who couldn't wait would have to get married. When that happened, the princess would be 18 years old.
Qing He was furious. He scolded him loudly, "An arranged marriage? Do you want to get married and then take the law into your own hands? I'm not dead yet. Are you looking for a new home for yourself? Are you trying to make This Emperor abdicate after his wedding? "
After scolding that unlucky bastard until his blood dripped, he smoothly vented his anger on the princess. "I saw that you've been playing crazily in Shang Lin Garden for the past few days, so I hurriedly withdrew my heart and returned to the Eastern Palace to study in seclusion!"
The princess was filled with fear and trepidation. She got down from the assembly and glared fiercely at the frightened man. In fact, what her eyes meant was, "Well done."
