Anecdotes of Tianyuan: The Long Night is Young

The concubine's sedan chair staggered from the small road to the Duanjun Palace. There was no cannons and drums, no excitement, just a small sedan chair, and the road was bluestone.Ruyu's emotions in the sedan chair were very complicated. She had thought about the scene of getting married by herself ten thousand times. Fortunately, unfortunately, she never thought that she would be like this.Fate is really playing tricks, this life is just like this.She rubbed her belly, secretly hoping that that person's brother would really treat her well.Ruyu was crying, the tears flowed from the corners of her eyes to the tip of her nose, dripping on her new clothes, but she didn't know it.The sedan chair bumped for a while, and finally arrived at Duanjun Palace, but the concubine could only go through the side entrance, not the main entrance.

"Madam, we are here. The county king is waiting in the front hall."

Ruyu had never been to any prince's mansion before, and she was dazzled when she stepped off the sedan chair.But with an uncertain future, she was in no mood to marvel, nor was she in the mood to be surprised.

"The bride, Qiu Ruyu, greets the prince, please drink tea." Seeing that Ruyu is wearing Su brocade, the maid who was sent to dress up in the past can see that the maid has her heart.Today's Ruyu is extraordinarily radiant, she is indeed a rare beauty.When I saw her yesterday, I thought she was just Xiaojiabiyu, but today I saw her really pretty, and Zhao Xiyan was a little dazed.

"Get up, don't be tired." Zhao Xiyan took a sip of the tea, put down the cup, reached out to grab Qiu Ruyu's arm, and helped her up.The senior servants of Duanjun Wangfu are all waiting for the arrival of the new lady in the hall at this time, wanting to see the new lady's demeanor.After all, I have never seen His Highness bring a woman back to the manor.

"Thank you, the king of the county." Qiu Ruyu was a little dazed, he never thought that he would personally help her in front of a large crowd.

"Xiangyun!"

"Your Majesty, I understand. When the new wife enters the mansion, the Madam King bestows the title of Mrs. Yu to the new lady. The whole house celebrates together, and everyone rewards them." The reward silver wrapped in red paper was distributed to the servants in a short while. .

"Xie Junwang, Mrs. Xie Yu. Congratulations to the new beauty of the Junwang, and Madam Yu's favor will never fade." A group of servants knelt on the ground, holding the reward silver with both hands, and said happily.Duke Duan is seventeen this year, and only has one woman. The other princes are all fathers at this age.This Duan County Prince's Mansion has been deserted since it was opened, although the County King treats his servants well.Ruyu has obviously never seen such a battle before, she was a little panicked, she looked at Zhao Xiyan, Zhao Xiyan held Ruyu's hand, turned around and said loudly

"Madam Yu just entered the mansion, and everyone took good care of her. She is pregnant with this king's child, and she has been taken care of by this king with 12 points of energy. This king will not allow any mistakes, otherwise I will come to see you first." He said majesticly. Hearing the words of caring for herself, Ruyu's heart turned back and forth when she heard these words, but she felt that the county king's hands were really rough, but the hands wrapped around her were very warm.She somewhat missed Zhao Xiyan, his hands were bigger than Duke Duan's, but they were just as warm and rough, and it must be because the prince practiced martial arts since he was a child.For a mansion lord to say such things for a woman and a child, it should be taken seriously.All the servants understood and kowtowed like garlic.

"Yes, the king of the county, I will obey."

"Tonight, the whole house will add food, let's go, what to do."

"Xiangyun, call those who take care of Mrs. Yu in, and come over to see Mrs. Yu."

Several slaves and servants filed in. "The slaves and the young ones have seen the county king and Mrs. Yu." They all knelt on the ground.Ruyu, following Zhao Xiyan's example, said tentatively, "Get up."

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Yu, the older one is the midwife, Mrs. Liu, this is Mrs. Li, the best cook in our mansion. Red silk, green bamboo, green sleeves, and begonias have been in our mansion for many years. I’m an old man, the last ten are all for Yougu Garden, and the small ones are carefully selected and capable.”

"Very well, I'll pick a better nanny in a few days." As soon as Zhao Xiyan said this, Ruyu blushed, and she didn't dare to look at Zhao Xiyan.

"Jun Wang, you can rest assured that this small matter will be taken care of for you." Xiangyun smiled and talked to Zhao Xiyan. If Zhao Xiyan was really the father of this child, he would probably be happy and give Xiangyun a big reward. It's a pity that Zhao Xiyan couldn't be happy , what he thought was how happy he would be if the thirteenth brother was still alive.

Xiangyun led Ruyu into Yougu Garden, and Zhao Xiyan left.

"Mrs. Yu, this is Yougu Garden. The king of the county specially ordered me to arrange it yesterday." Ruyu looked at the surrounding environment. The garden is very large and full of scenery. Silk and satin, jewelry, gold and silver, seemed to declare how much he valued and loved this woman.

"Okay, it's up to you."

"You are the master, please don't say such polite words to us. The king of the county is a prince with a noble status, you are his new wife, and we are slaves. I remind you, please don't say that in the future. "

"Been taught a lesson."

After Zhao Xiyan left, Ruyu asked her servant girl to lead her around the duanjun mansion.

That night

Zhao Xiyan came back, took a shower, and thought of Ruyu. "Xiangyun, tell me to go down. The dinner will be served in Yougu Garden later. You should go to the dining room to prepare it. She probably hasn't eaten yet."

"Okay, the king of the county really likes the new wife. The little one, let's go to the dining room."

Zhao Xiyan held the teacup and muttered to himself, "I really like it, I really like it".Zhao Xiyan was dressed in lake blue uniform, flicked his sleeves, and walked slowly towards Yougu Garden.

Glen Park

This garden used to be idle and useless, but now that it has a master, it is considered popular, and it looks so good.Zhao Xiyan hasn't been here for a long time, although this place is the closest to his yard.

"Concubine Ruyu, welcome the king of the county." This is the gift taught to Ruyu by the mother in the mansion. After receiving the news, Ruyu led the servants of the garden to stand at the door and wait. "You don't need to be too polite, this is in your own house. You are pregnant, so you don't need to do such a big gift from now on, it's too tiring." Zhao Xi stretched out his hand to hold Ruyu and supported her. "The king of the county..." Ruyu was a little dazed. She never knew that the king of the county was a considerate person. In the past, the thirteenth master always told her how handsome, talented, and martial arts he was, and how deep their brotherhood was. .Zhao Xiyan supported Ruyu to the dining table, and all the servants saw this scene in their eyes.

Zhao Xiyan looked at the dining table. There were 36 dishes, all of which were suitable for pregnant women. The dining room was thoughtful.Ruyu knew that the meals of princes and nobles were extremely elaborate and luxurious, but she had never seen it with her own eyes. "Ruyu, eat more. For your first dinner in the mansion, eat more." Zhao Xiyan suddenly put vegetables into Ruyu's bowl. He has never taken care of pregnant women, and he doesn't understand the thoughts of girls. He piled the jade bowls into a hill. "Eleventh Master, the concubine's bowl is already enough, I can't put it down." The servants were all laughing softly, and it was Zhao Xiyan who realized it.Duanjun Palace welcomes the first woman, tonight is very happy for the servants of Duanjun Palace, the iron tree of Duanjun Wang is blooming.

Zhao Xiyan took medicine, paced in the study, and his concubine came in. According to common sense, he should stay in Yougu Garden to show his concubine's favor.But now Ruyu is pregnant, and her own identity... Ruyu on the other hand is very indifferent, she knows that she is pregnant now, no matter how lustful Zhao Xiyan is, it is impossible for Zhao Xiyan to do anything to her.Ruyu is dressed in light pink, sitting by the window as if missing someone.Zhao Xiyan still came, but he didn't come in after walking outside the door. He didn't know how to deal with himself tonight.The door was pushed open by him, there was no joy on the face, but the servants outside the door hung up the red lanterns that will be bright tonight, and they dispersed wisely, leaving only the green bamboo waiting outside the door.

The red candles in the room were shining brightly, Zhao Xiyan walked in slowly, Ruyu was startled, she turned her head to look at the man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he was fair and slender, every step he made was chic.He is like him and not like him.Ruyu was stunned, as if the man came back and came to marry her tonight.

"Ruyu, do you miss my thirteenth brother?" Zhao Xiyan knew when she looked at him like this. are relatively similar. "Besides thinking about it, I have no other choice." Ruyu couldn't see herself, she seemed to be talking like an empty shell, her eyelids drooped, and her expression was sad.

"It's just you and me in the room. There will be no one in the future. Don't call yourself a concubine. You can still be my sister-in-law. Don't call me a county king or your highness. According to my seniority, I will call you brother in the mansion in the future."

"Calling brother, is this okay?"

"It's not bad at all. Many wives call their husbands like this. It's all good in this way."

"Okay" was a soft answer.

"Tonight... I'm staying in Yougu Garden, do you have any objections? This king promised never to touch you, and to be a couple with you in name only. No matter tonight or in the future, you can rest assured that this king will keep his promise. "Zhao Xiyan was particularly anxious when he said this, Ruyu didn't react much, Ruyu didn't speak for a long time, the air in the room seemed to freeze.

"Let me rest on this rattan chair tonight."

"Brother, it's hard work. Actually, you don't have to."

"It doesn't matter." Zhao Xiyan smiled, because after the thirteenth was gone, fourteenth was willing to call out brother, as if he suddenly had a younger sister.Yes, he, Zhao Xiyan, also has a younger sister—Princess Zhao Qinghuan, the sixteenth princess of Roujia.

Zhao Xiyan didn't take off his clothes, hugged the quilt, and lay down on the rattan chair directly, "Ruyu, you can rest now." Through the bead curtain, he saw Ruyu put down the bed curtain, and twisted it. Peanuts turned off the lights.This night, Ruyu didn't know how late it was, so she fell asleep, but Zhao Xiyan found it even more difficult to fall asleep.

Prime Minister's Mansion

"You said, did His Royal Highness the Eleventh stay overnight?" Su Qingshu asked in disbelief and came to report to his servants.

"Miss, that's what this servant heard. Last night, the magistrate of Duanjun's mansion hung up red lanterns, and this morning the duke got up from the garden." Xiangzi knelt down, complaining in detail, for fear of saying something wrong. .He didn't know that every word he said was wrong.

Su Qingshu clearly knew that this was the right thing to do, but he just couldn't believe that his sweetheart had another woman just like that.

"It's okay, you can go down." Su Qingshu lowered his brows and eyes with rippling eyes. "Yes, miss."

No one knew about Ruyu's confinement in the mansion, but the person in the East Palace knew about it long ago.Who made this child's birth mother lowly?For several months, Zhao Xiyan left early and returned early, and went to visit Ruyu every day to ask her how she was.Concubine Xia often sent people to come to see her. Zhao Xiyan's uncle, Imperial Physician Xia, was in charge of the birth.The uncle knew the origin of the child, but the cousin didn't.

In the past few months, Ruyu was hard-hearted whether she was moved or not.Apart from going to the palace to greet his mother and concubine every day, Zhao Xiyan almost always stayed with Ruyu in the mansion.These days, Zhao Xiyan took her to relax, taught her to read, taught her the art of piano, and took care of everything by herself.All the servants in the mansion call Ruyu a blessed person.Zhao Xiyan is too gentle, but also really talented.Apart from thinking about Zhao Xiyan and worrying about the future of the child, Ruyu seems to have a happy life.She had never lived such a comfortable and tormented day. The thought of Zhao Xiyan was like a sting in her heart. It would sting late at night, and the longer the day, the more painful it would be.
