She shook her head, "Pengju, I don't need it. Put it away properly. Hehe, now, you should give Princess everything you have, so you have to keep her … "
Yue Pengju saw that she had retracted his hand, his eyes were dry, as though someone was holding a blade and stirring his heart, his voice was dry as he said: "Elder sister, I will take care of you my entire life."
"Peng Ju, I really don't need this gold, take it back home. Princess is about to go home and take care of your house, there are a lot of things that you should buy, and your home is very expensive …"
He now had a family. From now on, his duty was to support his family, his wife, and his children!
His' different surname 'sister shouldn't rely on her younger brother for a living.
Yue Pengju almost wanted to cry, so he grabbed her hand and said stubbornly, "Elder sister, you have to hold onto this."
She was even more stubborn than him. "Pengju, I really don't need it."
She stood up and handed him the hairpin as well. "Pengju, I really can't take out anything else. This hairpin …"
Yue Pengju was stupefied, he took a step back and placed the hairpin and gold on the table, then turned and left: "Elder sister, this is what I'm giving you, what does it have to do with other people? "I'm leaving, take care …"
"Peng Ju!"
He turned his head, "Big sister, you don't need to worry about anything. Just wait for me to come back! I'll take care of everything. "
Hua Rong could not make a sound, and watched him walk out.
It was already late in the night. Hua Rong leaned on the table and read a book for a while, feeling sleepy. Just as she was about to rest, she heard someone knocking on the door.
She went to open the door, only to see Wan Wan rushing in, followed by Lee's.
"flower sister, isn't Big Brother Yue going on an expedition today? How did he leave tonight? "He left in such a hurry that he didn't even tell me …"
Lee's was also nagging: "Young Master is right, I don't know when I'll be able to return, how can I leave without saying hello to my Young Miss?"
Hua Rong said indifferently: "He received an urgent order. After discussing it with the Master Zong, the Ninth Prince decided to let him set off early so that they could gather with the other royal army and give the enemy a surprise attack … "
"Ah?" Elder sister, did you know that he left early? But why did he tell you and not me? "
Lee's also complained, "That's right, even my own wife isn't allowed to say it … "Young master is really young and insensible, you're not afraid of my young miss remembering …"
Hua Rong heard that she was both "Madam" and "Young Master". She was displeased but sad, as if a thing had already become its owner and she herself had become the third person to covet it.
This was the first time she came to Hua Rong's room. Last night, she did not have the time to look carefully, but now, it seemed that Hua Rong's house was not the least bit worse than the one she lived in.
In his opinion, the Princess had made special arrangements for him; but for Hua Rong? Her room was arranged by the The elder brother of the nine herself, she was curious, why would the The elder brother of the nine arrange for such a good room for her?
Very quickly, her gaze landed on the bag of gold and the hairpin, and curiously asked: "flower sister, this is?"
Hua Rong was shocked, and subconsciously moved the hairpin away while pushing the gold over, the Lee's laughed: "Hey, this is a reward from Young Master, right?"
Hua Rong said indifferently: "Mn, take it."
"Oh? How can I accept this? "It's Young Master's …"
"Peng Ju was originally going to give it to you guys. He left in a hurry, and didn't make it in time, so he entrusted me to the Princess."
Wan Wan had no concept of money, and was completely uninterested in this pile of gold, "No no no."
Relying only on the house that was bestowed by the Ninth Prince, he didn't even have his own money. With a laugh, he took the gold and said: "My good young miss, how can you not accept the money that young master has given to support our family? "We have to go back and clean up the house. We have to buy some things and make some clothes …"
Wan Wan was still fuming, "flower sister, in the future, you must tell Big Brother Yue that he left without saying goodbye …"
Before Hua Rong could answer, a voice came from the door: "Wan Wan, don't be rude …"
It was the Ninth Prince.
Wan Wan was both embarrassed and anxious. "The elder brother of the nine, you have to help me …"
"This King ordered Penga to set off overnight. Time is short, and it is understandable that he did not have time to say goodbye to you. Wan Wan, you can't blame him, and even more so, you can't blame your flower sister. This king hates female Jealousy the most for being stingy. His gaze turned towards Hua Rong, "Wan Wan, Pengju has no parents, and was only cared for by the flower sister since he was young. As the proverb goes, 'The eldest sister is the mother', from today onwards, you must treat the flower sister with extreme respect …"
Lee's smiled apologetically: "That's right, Princess. From today onwards, Miss Hua is your aunt, you must treat her with utmost respect …"
When Hua Rong heard the words "eldest sister as mother" again, it was both ear-piercing and heart-piercing. However, she felt that Ninth Prince's smile was very bad for his eyes, and Wan Wan's respectful posture was also bad for his eyes. She was extremely depressed and could not refute what was said, but only said indifferently, "Pengju and I are not siblings, so Wan Wan, there's no need for you to be so courteous."
Ninth Prince said: "Wan Wan, since Yue Pengju is not at home, you have to take responsibility on his behalf and take care of flower sister in his place, you are not allowed to disobey him at all."
Wan Wan pouted: "Yes, The elder brother of the nine."
Hua Rong smiled faintly and did not say a word.
"Wan Wan, it's not good for Zhizhou Prefecture to stay for long. You can go and take a look at your house, pack up, and settle down."
"Thank you, The elder brother of the nine!" Wan Wan was no longer willing to stay in Zhizhou Prefecture, and after hearing these words, she immediately said, "milkmaid, let's return. flower sister, do you want to come with us? "
Even though Hua Rong wasn't willing to go with them, she still thought about staying here alone and facing the Ninth Prince. She immediately said, "Alright, I'll go with you …"
Ninth Prince saw that she had promised Wan Wan, and only smiled: "Alright, Rong Er, accompany Wan Wan and the others for a walk. I'll send someone to pick you up in a few days. "
"No need, Your Highness."
"Rong Er, the war is chaotic right now. You're alone and it's inconvenient for you to go out. Besides, This King needs all sorts of talents... "
Hua Rong was calm and composed: Hua Rong is a woman, after experiencing all of this, she has long understood her own responsibilities. Leaving behind, not only is she unable to share the burden for the Duke, she has even become a burden … "
"Rong Er, you don't have to be modest. Your archery skills are amazing, surpassing many of my guards. "You can go and rest for two days, and then I'll send someone to pick you up …" He turned to Wan Wan and said, "Wan Wan, I will send ten soldiers to protect you all. You need to take care of flower sister, you cannot be negligent in the slightest. "
"Thank you The elder brother of the nine, I will take good care of you."
Ninth Prince watched as the two left, then saw the bag in his hands and asked: "What is this?"
The Lee's was elated: "This is a reward from Young Master, he asked the Miss Hua to pass this gift to my Princess to support our family. "Young Master, you are truly a good person. My Princess is blessed to be able to live the life of a sincere person …"
Ninth Prince looked at Hua Rong unintentionally, but when he turned his eyes away, Hua Rong could not see any expression on her face.
Everyone left, Hua Rong tossed and turned for a while, her heart extremely anxious. Even though she was tired, she could not fall asleep, so after dressing up, she got off the bed and walked over to the window to look at the cold moonlight outside. I wonder how Yue Pengju is doing now?
Originally, he had planned to go with him to war, to stay together at the ends of the earth and look after each other. However, because of the 'marriage edict', how could he go to the front with him?
She stood by the window for a moment, listening to the sound of footsteps outside. Then, there was a slight sigh.
She opened the door and went out. Under the moonlight, under the snow, there was a lonely figure. It was a red robe and a white jade belt.
"Rong Er..." His lonely voice carried a trace of pleasant surprise. "I thought you had already gone to bed …"
She shook her head. "The weather is cold, why is the prince wandering around here?"
Ninth Prince sighed, "Thinking of Royal Mother and Father, a family of flesh and blood, where is he sleeping?"
Hua Rong's heart was moved, the entire Fu Clan was wiped out in one fell swoop, this kind of pain, how many people in Da Song could not let this kind of nightmare go?
In his heart, because the Ninth Prince bestowed him a marriage, he originally held a slight grudge against him, but now, that grudge had quietly dissipated.
She said in a low voice, "Your Highness, right now all the burdens are on your shoulders. You must take care of yourself …"
"My pitiful children, after falling into the hands of the Golden Man, they are still young …"
His only son had been captured by the Golden Man, and unfortunately, he had already died. As for his daughters, even though they were young, they would still be ravaged by the Golden Man.
Seeing his sorrowful expression, Hua Rong suddenly said, "My prince, I'll make another trip and see if I can save Princess Hua-Yang and her daughter …"
"Rong Er, you can't!" He lowered his voice and said, "The Golden Army is tightly guarded, you just lost your life in vain."
Hua Rong silently stood at the side and did not make a sound.
"Rong Er, it's cold outside, go in and rest."
"Your Highness, you should also go rest."
Ninth Prince nodded and the two returned to the room. There was a fire in the room and the room was clean and free of coal. Just as Hua Rong was about to leave, Ninth Prince suddenly said: "Rong Er, come sit with me again."
She hesitated, then sat down.
The Ninth Prince slowly spoke out, "Rong Er, my royal father and royal brothers are probably unable to save him. "I am truly unfilial. I can only hide in the corner and watch as my entire family perishes …"
Hua Rong gathered her courage, "Your Highness, you don't have to blame yourself. The Da Song has today, so the Supreme Emperor has no choice but to blame this. He doted on the Six Thieves, the Flowerrock class caused chaos to the world, and the citizens did not live in peace. With today's calamity, it was all because of them … "
She stopped talking, looked worriedly at Ninth Prince, and then lowered her head. "Hua Rong spoke rudely, please punish me …"
Ninth Prince shook his head, "Rong Er, what you said is the truth. I won't blame you. Everyone in the world actually knows about this. "
Hua Rong's heart relaxed, and continued: "Ninth Prince, the rise and fall of this world lies solely with you. I believe that you will definitely do better than your royal father and royal brother! "
Ninth Prince looked at her with a trace of strangeness in his eyes, and suddenly said: "Rong Er, are you willing to stay by my side to help me?"
"This …"
"Rong Er, you risk your life to protect me. I reward Yue Pengju and give him a house. Do you know why I didn't give you anything?"
She smiled: "Hua Rong will not accept any rewards unless it is a meritorious deed, I do not dare to request for a reward."
His voice lowered, "Ever since you came to the Xiangzhou Base Camp, I had always hoped that you had nothing. Rong Er, you have no one to rely on, now that my family has been taken away, are you willing to stay by my side? "
Her heart trembled. After a long while, she finally enunciated each word clearly: "Thanks to Your Highness's help, Hua Rong was able to escape from the hands of the pirates by a fluke. After that horrible experience, she no longer had any thoughts of getting married and had let down her lord's love! "Please forgive me."
Ninth Prince did not expect her to speak in such a straightforward manner, as if he was blocking all paths of escape. He felt extremely disappointed, and said in a deep voice: "Rong Er, you can consider answering me in a few days."
"Hehe, Your Royal Highness, I have already thought about this. I will not change my mind." At this time, it was already dawn and fog was rising. She slowly said, "My prince, please rest first. I will accompany Princess to rest for two days. I will not bid you farewell."
The Ninth Prince was unable to stop them and sighed, "Alright."
