In the past, if Fan Gongyu wanted it, Dai Ruyan would mostly cooperate, but he would not be so enthusiastic.
As if wishing that the whole person was like a ball of flames, the soft calls that stayed in his ears could kill Gong Yu's life.
When the soft voice came from Shawinei, it quietly sounded in this silent hall.
At twilight, the palace people outside were already waiting outside, but no one dared to step into the palace.
The new eunuch at the side was even more anxious, and muttered in a low voice: "Could it be that your majesty is not going to court today?"
When the sun quietly emerged from the clouds, Gong Yu frowned as if she was about to fall apart, unable to move.
Dai Ruyan leaned against Gong Yu, without even leaving a gap, although it is a good thing to be accompanied by a beauty.
But it was very difficult for Gong Yu to be unable to move at all, so she could only look sideways at Dai Ruyan, who seemed to be still sleeping soundly.
In the past, Dai Ruyan should have woken up by now, Gong Yu leaned in and kissed the side of her cheek, and wanted to pull her outstretched arm away, but she couldn't do it.
Only then did Gong Yu realize that Dai Ruyan might have woken up a long time ago.
"Ayan?"
The person who was buried next to the palace jade pillow refused to answer, obviously like a child who wanted to play tricks.
"If you don't let go, you won't be able to go to court today."
The voice fell quietly, and Dai Ruyan opened his eyes with his fingertips, the eyes were very clear, he leaned closer and kissed Gong Yu on the side of his face and asked, "Xiao Jiu will accompany me today, okay?"
In the past, Dai Ruyan would never say such things, Gong Yu's heart was soft, but after thinking about it, she couldn't just follow her mind like this.
Besides, she has always been very smart, maybe even if she is sure, she will soften her heart. Thinking about it like this, Gong Yu said with a cold face: "No, the court affairs are busy these days."
After saying this, Gong Yu felt inexplicably cold and ruthless, and she was so tender with her last night, how could she have become the sight of a scumbag right now!
"Well."
Hey?
Why is this reaction unreasonable?
Dai Ruyan let go of the arm that imprisoned Gong Yu, and turned his back to Gong Yu without saying a word.
Gong Yu calmed down for a while, staring blankly, still a little bit unrecovered.
Are you angry like this?
Not like, on the contrary, it seems sad.
During these years of getting along, Gong Yu never said anything harsh to Dai Ruyan most of the time, let alone made her feel sad?
The more Gong Yu thought about it, the more guilty she felt, and she tried to reach out, but the little eunuch outside shouted through the door: "Your Majesty, are you still going to court today?"
The hand stopped in mid-air, Gong Yu withdrew it again, still put on her robes, caught a glimpse of the skirts scattered on the side with a blushing face, hurriedly picked them up one by one, and put them aside.
I thought she might be tired, after all, she was really overly enthusiastic last night, and even Gong Yu felt a little tired.
Just like that, Gong Yu went to the early court, and rushed to the inner hall with an itch in her heart, but Dai Ruyan was not in the inner hall.
"Where did she...the queen go?" Gong Yu changed her tone and asked.
The little eunuch who was taking care of the palace at the side responded, "The Empress has returned to the palace."
Why did you go back again?
Gong Yu got up and sat down again, but she just couldn't sit still, thinking that she couldn't do it, she must calm down.
In the past, Dai Ruyan sent people to invite Gong Yu to have a meal, but now the palace people did not come. Gong Yu was hungry and waited until noon, then quietly sent the little eunuch to Dai Ruyan to inquire.
Only now did I know that Dai Ruyan was still asleep.
The harmed Gong Yu was worried that he was a little absent-minded even in reviewing the memorials early in the morning.
It wasn't until evening that Gong Yu finished processing the memorial. Although it was already March outside, it was still a bit cold after all.
Hearing that Dai Ruyan slept all day without eating, Gong Yu was very worried, so she had to rush to Dai Ruyan.
Entering the hall, because Dai Ruyan never likes to have many people around, the hall is very empty.
Gong Yu jumped over the screen, walked towards the bed, and saw Dai Ruyan sleeping beside her, and what she was holding in her hand was the usual clothes that Gong Yu used to wear.
The setting sun that was about to set cast dim yellow light through the slightly open window, and the silence in the hall seemed to be a prison for Dai Ruyan.
Can't help being filled with guilt, Gong Yu remembered pressing the seal of the marriage letter with her, thinking that as long as it was for her, even if it was the throne that had been disputed by everyone, she would definitely hold on to it for her.
But he never thought that he would deliberately neglect her like this. She was very good to him, and even took the elixir at the risk of his own life, but Gong Yu couldn't find any other way to let her know that he would I feel sorry for her.
If something else happened in the future and she acted in such an extreme way, then she would only regret it for the rest of her life.
Thinking of this, Gong Yu's eyes turned red inexplicably.Cautiously sitting aside, watching carefully, it seems that she has lost weight again.
Must have not had a good meal again.
Knowing that she always ate less, Gong Yu used to follow her with the food, only hoping that she would eat more.
The person who was lying quietly woke up suddenly, looked at Gong Yu in a daze, and called out with some uncertainty: "Xiao Jiu..."
Gong Yu came back to her senses, fearing that she would see her emotions, she tilted her head slightly and said, "I heard from the palace people that you are sick and haven't eaten for a day, so I came to take a look."
Now that she opens her mouth to tell lies, Gong Yu can already do it easily.
After all, the group of ministers in the court are all human beings, and they talk nonsense when they see people talking about people.
Dai Ruyan stretched out his hand from under the quilt to lightly hold Gong Yu's hand that was hanging by the side and asked, "Is Xiao Jiu worried about me?"
Her cheeks were a little pale, Gong Yu really couldn't bear to be indifferent, so she had to answer honestly: "Yeah."
"I thought Xiao Jiu was angry, so I wouldn't come to this palace."
The hand that was being held was obviously already firmly held by her, as if she was deeply afraid that Gong Yu would leave.
"You haven't eaten all day, get up quickly."
"It's okay." Dai Ruyan held Gong Yu's hand and said in a low voice, "I'm just a little tired because of last night."
Although Gong Yu still looked serious, but when Dai Ruyan casually mentioned last night, she still became hot with thin skin.
But he couldn't look back, so he leaned towards Dai Ruyan who was lying on the side, touched the cool cheek lightly with his fingertips and whispered: "Are you still tired?"
Dai Ruyan blinked her eyes lightly and raised the corners of her mouth in response: "I'm not tired, I won't be tired if Xiao Jiu comes to see me."
This is really a foul!
Originally, before Gong Yu came, she kept repeating that she was just looking around and not staying for a long time, but unexpectedly, the two of them would eat together after this stay.
The palace servants set meals and left the inner hall, Dai Ruyan sat beside him in a light-colored thin robe.
"Why didn't Ayan drink soup today?" Seeing that Dai Ruyan had no intention of serving soup, Gong Yu consciously filled a serving of soup and handed it to Dai Ruyan's hand.
Dai Ruyan reached out to take it with his eyes slightly bright, and sipped the soup in silence.
It felt like suddenly returning to normal life in the old days.
When Gong Yu came back to her senses, it was already dark outside the window, Dai Ruyan just lit the palace lantern in the hall.
this way?or not to go?
According to Gong Yu's thoughts before coming, then he must leave.
It can be seen that Dai Ruyan has carefully put away Gongyu's robe on the bed, and there is a gentleness in the eyebrows.
Gong Yu couldn't help feeling soft-hearted, if she really left, she would have to stay alone in this empty hall again.
He was not an indifferent person in the first place, and he was even more reluctant to be extremely indifferent to her over and over again.
Therefore, when all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were engaged in partisan disputes over the disagreement between the emperor and the empress, Gong Yu was enjoying flowers in the imperial garden of Ru Yan, the same generation.
When Chun Rili was originally a concubine in the palace, the old ministers in previous years always had the guts to speak out, but it was just that the newcomers were changed, but they still changed the soup without changing the medicine.
It's just that Gong Yu didn't expect that all kinds of rumors about the incompatibility between the emperor and the empress spread in the capital, and some of them were even very suspicious.
For example, the Queen of the Shangyuan Festival and a woman were openly playing together in the capital. After hearing this, Gong Yu silently chose to pretend that she didn't hear it.
However, Zhao Ting, who was very enthusiastic about this matter, met Gong Yu and asked loyally: "Your Majesty, don't you doubt it?"
Gong Yu watched too much about sowing dissension, but she didn't expect that this group of ministers were not afraid of death, and even the emperor's harem would have a hand in it, which was really annoying.
Gong Yu had no choice but to close the memorial and said patiently: "Teacher Zhao is too worried, the queen is in the palace all day, how can she get close to the women next to her, this is mostly nonsense made up by idlers."
I don't know why this Zhao Ting always looks at Gong Yu inexplicably and pitifully every time he talks to Gong Yu, as if he thinks Gong Yu is an incompetent puppet bullied by Dai Ruyan.
In any case, Gong Yu finally had someone send the grand tutor away, and the whole person just calmed down to review the memorial.
In spring, when the warblers are flying and the grass is growing, the imperial garden is naturally full of purples and reds. Dai Ruyan often likes to buy rouge at this time.
There were no other concubines in the harem, and even the entire imperial garden was very quiet. Dai Ruyan was picking the right flowers beside the flowers, but she noticed a gaze looking in this direction, and with a slightly wrinkled brow, she saw that Zhao Ting was not far away.
"See empress empress." Zhao Ting kowtowed and saluted, bowing his head.
Dai Ruyan was holding a delicate flower with her fingertips, and said with thin lips, "Teacher Zhao has frequently discussed political affairs with His Majesty in the past few days, no doubt he is the loyal minister of the Zhao family."
Zhao Tingfu bowed his head and replied: "The empress is too honored, and it is the duty of ministers to share the worries of the monarch."
"Teacher Zhao should get up quickly."
"Thank you Queen Empress."
Dai Ruyan's eyes flickered slightly, and he held the scissors in his hand to cut off the dazzling flower, and then put it on the wooden tray held by the palace servant.
Zhao Ting, who got up, stretched out his hand to straighten the official robe, and retreated to the side, as if he did not dare to look at Dai Ruyan.
"I don't want to disturb the Queen's Majesty's elegance, so I will leave first."
"Wait a minute."
There seemed to be fierce flashes in Zhao Ting's eyes, but he suppressed it quickly, turned around respectfully and asked, "What orders does the Empress have?"
Dai Ruyan's eyes fell on the palm of the flower and said softly: "There are eyes and ears all over the palace, Taifu Zhao has some things to be careful about."
"My minister always remembers the empress' teachings."
"It's not about teaching, Taifu Zhao should step down if you have something to do."
When Zhao Ting turned around and hurried to the side palace, Dai Ruyan turned his head to look at the steady pace, and couldn't help sighing: "There are always some restless people in this palace who want to stir up trouble."
"I really want to kill him." Dai Ruyan's eyes were deep, and it seemed that the words of such a person were as casual as saying that this flower is so beautiful.
In a blink of an eye, Dai Ruyan blinked lightly, as if he had calmed down, put the flowers in his hand into a wooden basin and whispered: "He is still useful, you should calm down."
As for the concubine's acceptance, Dai Ruyan had heard about it for a long time. Although she never mentioned it, Dai Ruyan also received a report from the spies.
Zhao Ting wantonly released all kinds of rumors about the disagreement between the emperor and empress, which intensified the dispute between the two parties in the court. On the surface, Zhao Ting called for the emperor, but in fact he just used this excuse to win over the power of the court.
And it was not the first time that Dai Ruyan felt Zhao Ting's killing intent, it was obvious that this person had evil intentions.
When the sun got bigger, Dai Ruyan went into the pavilion to choose suitable flowers for grinding ink and rouge.
The palace people waited quietly, the breeze in the pavilion was cool, it was a good time in spring.
With a little effort, the flower juice is bright and full, and Dai Ruyan is also very satisfied.
Suddenly there were footsteps approaching at the end of the long corridor, and then they could be heard more clearly. It was obvious that the hurried footsteps were not palace maids.
"Ayan."
"En." Dai Ruyan turned his head and saw her hurrying towards him, as if chanting dissatisfiedly, "Why aren't you in the inner hall?"
"Xiao Jiu wants to ask me for something?"
She sat on the side and poured tea for herself, took a sip and said, "I just came to this pavilion after a long detour."
"Recently, you have been busy with official business, and you poked your head out of the memorial every time you didn't see me, so I also found something to do by myself, so as to save the boring reading all day long."
"A Yan also finds reading boring." She asked with frivolous eyebrows.
"Of course I will. Do you think I'm a bookworm in Xiaojiu's eyes?" Dai Ruyan dipped some rouge on his fingertips, tapped the center of her eyebrows, and left the red mark.
She was stunned for a moment, and stretched out her hand to touch it, but Dai Ruyan hurriedly held her hand and said, "It looks good."
"Really...pretty?" She looked into those bright eyes and asked trustingly:
"Well, it's pretty."
Dai Ruyan smiled with her eyebrows bent, rubbed her earlobe lightly with her fingertips and said, "How is your chat with Mr. Zhao?"
"Not good." Her eyes suddenly darkened, and she frowned slightly: "It's really a hard rock, I want to move him to see the city gate, so I can save myself talking about it in my ears all day long."
"Don't frown."
"Am I frowning?"
"Ah."
She stretched out her hand and rubbed her brows, sat closer and said, "Ah Yan makes rouge every year, so I can't use it up."
Dai Ruyan could also hear the meaning behind her words, but she still pretended not to understand and said, "Of course it's used up."
"But in the past, Ayan only applied a little bit, and it was enough."
"Xiao Jiu, do you want this rouge?"
It was probably too direct, she pursed her lips tightly and blinked her eyes, showing her sincerity and innocence, but in the end she asked laxly, "Is just one box okay?"
"The rouge I have here is naturally yours, why do you need to ask me for it?"
"It's different."
She seemed to be thinking about how to say it, and after a while she said again: "I haven't received a small gift from Ayan for a long time."
"Small gift?" Dai Ruyan smiled and said, "But didn't you ask me to embroider a new sachet for you a few days ago?"
She probably didn't expect Dai Ruyan to refuse so jokingly, she was slightly stunned and didn't respond.
Dai Ruyan stretched out his hand to hold her hand, and wrote Zeng Danse for her.
Or because of her tall head, the slender and slender fingers are naturally good-looking. After applying the rouge, she opened her hands and looked to the side and said, "Aren't you going to make me a box of rouge?"
"When did I ever say no?"
After she stopped answering, she immediately smiled, leaned in and kissed Dai Ruyan, stretched her arms around Dai Ruyan and said, "I know that Ayan treats me the best!"
Dai Ruyan hurriedly stretched out his hand to support her, avoiding the rouge that her sleeve robe swept to the side, and let her helplessly.
At least she is so enthusiastic, it's better than deliberately sullen in the past few days.
Hunting in spring is an activity of the royal family of the palace country, and the original intention is to let the children of the royal family of the palace country not waste their days.
But now that the royal family of Gongguo is in decline, and they have never had any heirs, so even this hunting activity has become quite deserted.
She was riding a horse and was practicing archery with great interest, or because the officials in the court have been clinging to their heirs these days, she was quite depressed.
All of a sudden there was a court lady on the other side who seemed to be looking there. Although she was holding tea in her hand, she obviously had other intentions.
Dai Ruyan turned her head and said, "Take down that maid, and strictly investigate and interrogate her."
"Yes, the Queen Mother."
Seeing the palace lady being taken away from the horse farm, Dai Ruyan just looked away, and even Fang Zheng was riding a horse and waving to this side, apparently in a good mood.
After being honed on the battlefield, her archery skills are much better than before, so she wanted to compete with the generals in this hunt, so she practiced so hard.
After the hidden guard reported that the woman was sent by Zhao Taifu, Dai Ruyan put down the tea in his hand, and said to the little eunuch who was waiting at the side: "If your majesty asks me, I will tell you that there are some matters in the harem that I need to go to." deal with."
The little eunuch bowed his head and knelt aside and said: "Yes, this servant has remembered."
Taking a phoenix chariot into a side hall, Dai Ruyan stepped into the hall, the inside was very dark, or it almost smelled musty because it had been left unattended for a long time.
There were all kinds of instruments of torture on the side, Dai Ruyan raised his hand to pick up a whip and put it in his hand to play with, sitting quietly among them, he saw a woman dragged in by the soldiers.
"Empress, please spare me!" The scarred woman looked at Dai Ruyan in panic.
"Since you know that Bengong is the queen, you shouldn't enter the palace privately and become Taifu Zhao's pawn."
The woman lay on the side crying and said: "It's none of Mr. Zhao's business, it's because the slaves want to see the emperor, so they venture into the racecourse."
Dai Ruyan raised his eyebrows slightly, and the guards at the side had already slammed down their whips, and a bloodstain appeared on the woman's skirt.
"Even if you don't say it, I have already found out who sent you into the palace, and your purpose is also clear."
The woman choked up and cried and remained silent.
"Teacher Zhao was also a well-known talent among the children of officials in the capital. You admired him and were even willing to enter the palace for him."
"No... no!" the woman said in panic.
"You are not afraid of death, but you are afraid of implicating Zhao Ting. Unfortunately, Zhao Ting just treats you as a pawn."
This woman has a pretty face and outstanding looks, Dai Ruyan can tell at a glance that she is not an ordinary court lady.
And Zhao Ting naturally also liked her beauty, Dai Ruyan put the whip in his hand aside and said: "I won't kill you, and I can even make a promise with you."
"What agreement?"
"After you leave the palace, if Zhao Ting still treats you with courtesy, then the palace will make you his concubine and let you enter the Zhao family."
The woman looked at Dai Ruyan in disbelief, dodging her eyes and said, "Why does the Empress do this?"
Dai Ruyan smiled and said, "Because Zhao Ting will definitely let you die."
Power ministers designed court ladies to seduce the emperor and were suspected of disturbing the harem, which is a felony.
"I beg the empress to grant death to my servant!" The woman kowtowed infatuatedly, begging for death with all her heart.
"Come here, send her out of the palace."
None of the sons and daughters of officials in this capital city have had affairs with infatuated women, but these infatuated women do not know that for their lives, the prestige of aristocratic families and the glory and wealth of the children of officials and eunuchs are what they cannot give up.
When he came out again, the sunlight outside was still dazzling, Dai Ruyan looked sideways at the room and said, "Send someone to release the news to make sure Zhao Ting knows about it. Once Zhao Ting makes a move, we can save her at a critical moment."
"Yes."
Only those who have been seriously injured will want to recklessly take revenge, and then one can become a perfect pawn.
In the imperial court, no matter whether it is the Daishi party or the Taifu party, no matter which of the two parties is attacked, it will threaten the power in the hands of the emperor.
Only by allowing these two parties to exist in the court of the palace to suppress each other, and the emperor can control them, can the palace be prosperous step by step.
Zhao Ting has always been suspicious by nature, and has been an official in the court for many years. His father is strict, and has served as the Taifu in the court for decades, and he has always suppressed Zhao Ting.
Now that Zhao Ting has finally gained power, if he wants to control him, he must place a pawn beside him, and let him know that this is a warning from Dai Ruyan.
When Dai Ruyan returned to the palace, the little eunuch who was outside at that time kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty is waiting for you, Empress Dowager."
Stepping into the inner hall, it was much cooler inside, the accompanying palace servants retreated outside the bead curtain, Dai Ruyan opened the bead curtain and walked inside.
I saw that the inner hall was empty, except for the dragon robe that she had hastily thrown aside, it was still wrinkled on the rack, which reminded Dai Ruyan that she might have gone to the inner hall to take a bath because of the heat.
Dai Ruyan handed over the dragon robe to the palace servants to wash, then made tea and asked the palace servants to prepare pastries and hot porridge, guessing that she might be hungry again later.
As her body recovered day by day, she was thinking about all kinds of snacks and snacks as before.
When the footsteps came closer, she was wearing a thin robe and a handkerchief on her head, humming a strange tune and walking over.
"Ayan, you're back!" She sat aside with a smile, reached out and picked up the pastry and stuffed it into her mouth.
Not worried at all that her long hair casually scattered behind her ears would soak her robe, Dai Ruyan had no choice but to reach out and take away the handkerchief she put on her head, got up and sat beside her, and wiped the long hair for her. hair.
She held the porridge bowl and turned her head to look over from time to time, but didn't speak, Dai Ruyan let her watch.
Till her long hair dried a lot, Dai Ruyan stretched out his hand to gently brush away the broken hair around her cheeks, then she saw her eyebrows bent and said with a smile: "Ayan, why don't you talk?"
"What are you talking about?" Dai Ruyan paused when his fingertips lightly touched her slightly hot cheek, and poked lightly, saying, "I always feel that you have gained a lot of weight recently."
"What?" She opened her eyes innocently, hurriedly put down the porridge in her hand, got up and went to hold the bronze mirror, then sat cross-legged and stared at her face.
She did this kind of movement very quickly, Dai Ruyan couldn't help smiling, touched the slightly frowning brow lightly with fingertips and said: "Don't frown."
"I've really gained weight!" She pulled half of her face and said sadly, "It's really rounded a lot."
"Come round, won't you?"
She turned her head to the side and replied, "Not good."
Seeing that her brows were tightly wrinkled again, Dai Ruyan pressed down slightly, she stretched out her hand to cover her forehead in surprise and said: "Ayan, you bully me!"
This person is very well-behaved on weekdays, but sometimes if he starts messing around, it really gives Dai Ruyan a headache.
"I just don't like your frowning, how can I bully you?"
Afraid that she would be really angry, Dai Ruyan hurriedly stretched out his arms and hugged her lightly, rubbing the center of her brows lightly with his fingertips and said: "I'll rub it for you."
But she wanted to hide to the side, fortunately Dai Ruyan's arms had already restrained her, so she would not be troubled again.
Unable to escape, she could only say aloud: "I'm going to frown!"
"Frown will make you old faster."
Sure enough, with such a move, she calmed down, looked at this direction and said: "Will Ah Yan still like me as an old lady?"
"I like it." Dai Ruyan didn't expect that she would suddenly ask this question, obviously it should be because she was worried.
She opened some distance to look at Dai Ruyan, and said very seriously: "Really?"
Seeing her serious face, Dai Ruyan lowered his head and kissed her tight lips and said: "You are really talking stupid."
Or she didn't expect to kiss him suddenly, her cheeks were obviously flushed, but she herself was still very brave, but without the flame just now, she was much calmer.
Dai Ruyan stretched out his hand to straighten her thin robe, hugged her lightly with his arms slightly tight, kissed her cheek with his head sideways and said, "Why don't you talk?"
But she turned her head sideways and held the bronze mirror by herself, looking at Dai Ruyan in the bronze mirror, she said: "My brows are reddened by Ah Yan."
"With that little strength, how could you be red?" Dai Ruyan stretched out his hands to gently hold her face and moved closer, knowing that she was talking nonsense with her eyes open.
But Fangcai's strength is indeed much stronger than before, she has the confidence to lie, Dai Ruyan is not easy to expose, save her making up other excuses.
"I'll rub it for you, it won't hurt anymore." Dai Ruyan could only say coaxing a child.
Although she was still awkward, she didn't struggle any more, she leaned on Dai Ruyan and said in a low voice, "Where did you leave me alone?"
As soon as these words came out, Dai Ruyan couldn't help being taken aback, it turned out that this was the reason for her fuss.
Then he stopped rubbing his palms, hugged her lightly and said, "It's all about dealing with the affairs of the harem, didn't the little eunuch tell you?"
She looked sideways at Dai Ruyan and said, "I told you."
"Then you still ask me?" Dai Ruyan helplessly rubbed her earlobe.
"If the harem is busy, why doesn't Ayan recruit some female officials?"
"Miss?"
In fact, Dai Ruyan has never envisaged recruiting women to take up some important positions, but this can only be implemented if a precedent is set.
The current situation in the DPRK and China is still unstable, and rashly setting up female officials is likely to arouse public opinion in the court.
She opened the distance a little, reached out to take the pastry and stuffed it into her mouth again, without the distress of worrying about her gaining weight just now.
Can't help but make Dai Ruyan a little confused. Could it be that her uproar just now was all a drama?
"This pastry is delicate and tastes good." She finished the small stack of pastries in a few mouthfuls and still admired it.
Dai Ruyan gently pinched her earlobe with her fingertips and said, "Are you lying to me just now?"
She looked at Dai Ruyan with sly eyes and smiled and said: "It's nothing, how can I lie to Ayan."
"Really?"
"real!"
This man is really more and more able to open his eyes and talk nonsense.
When it was approaching dusk, she was busy reviewing memorials and settled down a lot. Dai Ruyan stretched out her hand to hold her loose hair, and she had already done a lot.
Not far from the window was a pool, and it was very cool when the breeze came slowly, she suddenly tilted her head and smiled with eyebrows bent: "The wind in this spring is really comfortable."
Comfortable?
Dai Ruyan smiled and said nothing, just flipping through the book in his hand, this book is an ancient book found from the Sangluo country, it mentioned the refining and efficacy of the Sangluo country's secret method of longevity medicine.
Because Jinzhou is the only place with the flower of eternal life, they can get very little pollen. Therefore, most of the longevity medicines developed by the royal family of Sangrui Kingdom are to prolong life, but they do not have the rumored immortality.
Although the ancient method that Dai Ruyan found may be different from the long-living medicine secretly made by the Sangrui Kingdom, but now that the national teacher is dead, there is no one in this world who can tell the exact effect of the only elixir.
And it is impossible for Dai Ruyan to put her in danger again, just let someone feel her pulse to ensure that the poison in her body has been cured, and the rest can only wait and see.
Left and right took the elixir together with her, thinking that regardless of longevity or not, they would go with her, and Dai Ruyan felt at ease.
It was probably because Dai Ruyan hadn't responded to her for a long time, she suddenly leaned over, kissed the side of the next generation Ruyan's cheek, and said seriously: "Is the book so beautiful?"
Dai Ruyan blinked and looked at the person in front of him who was obviously about to make a fuss, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Jiu is the prettiest."
She calmed down all of a sudden, although her lips were tightly pressed, but her eyes were full of smiles that couldn't be hidden, and she couldn't help laughing after a while.
"Don't think I won't be angry if you say that." She held the memorial to herself and said.
"Then it's better tonight..."
"Okay!"
Dai Ruyan smiled and said, "You know what I said before I said it?"
She read like stars in her eyes: "I understand!"
"Could it be that Xiao Jiu already knows that he will eat chicken porridge with mushrooms tonight?" Dai Ruyan asked teasingly.
Seeing that she pulled her face down, she obviously knew that Dai Ruyan did it on purpose, so she turned her head and looked out the window and ignored Dai Ruyan.
Usually at times like this, Dai Ruyan is not in a hurry, she is the most impatient, usually when the two of them are silent, she would just ramble on Dai Ruyan, how could she not speak alone.
When it was dark, Dai Ruyan wanted to get up to let someone hold a banquet, but she suddenly asked, "Where are you going?"
Dai Ruyan put down the book in her hand, walked to her side and said, "I'm not going anywhere, I'm just accompanying Xiaojiu alone."
She looked up at Dai Ruyan, stretched out her hand to hold Dai Ruyan's hand, and said as if complaining or coquettishly: "You don't even coax me."
Encircled by her arms, Dai Ruyan couldn't move, so he could only raise his hand to gently rub her loose hair and said: "Your hair is dry, let me tie it up for you."
"Don't." She still didn't let go, grabbing Dai Ruyan shamelessly.
Dai Ruyan caressed her soft earlobe with her fingertips and said with a smile: "Then what do you want me to do?"
Only then did she raise her head slightly, looked up at Dai Ruyan and said, "Kiss me first, and I'll tell you."
"Okay." Dai Ruyan lowered his head slightly and kissed her brow, and she let go of her hand, but Dai Ruyan didn't take a distance away, holding her warm cheeks with both hands, and lightly fell on her cheeks, reaching the corner of her mouth. .
The hall was quite dark already, Dai Ruyan stared at her and said, "Is this good?"
"Not good." She took the initiative to raise her head, pecked Dai Ruyan's lips several times, and then pulled some distance away.
Dai Ruyan got up to light the lamp, and it was very dark around, so she grabbed Dai Ruyan's clothes and insisted on following.
It wasn't until the palace lanterns in the hall were lit that Dai Ruyan realized that the thin robe on her body was already loose and out of shape.
In the past, she wore her hair tied up most of the time, and Dai Ruyan was used to it, but her black hair was scattered like this, which made her fair face more white and tender, making her look a lot younger.
"Ayan?" She blinked and approached without knowing it.
The whole person lazily stretched out his arms to embrace Dai Ruyan, leaning against his cheek and not saying a word.
When Dai Ruyan regained consciousness in a trance, he heard the beating of his heart, which kept beating just because of her.
Obviously so many years have passed, but Dai Ruyan is always very nervous every time he stretches out his hand to hug her lightly. This feeling is like fearing that once you touch her, she will suddenly disappear in front of your eyes.
The more frightened she was, the more she wanted to hold it tightly, Dai Ruyan tightened her arms in response: "What's wrong?"
"Aren't you going to do something else tonight?" She naughtily whispered in Dai Ruyan's ear.
It seemed that the soft voice ran into the heart along the ears, making Dai Ruyan unable to control her whole body, and asked in a hoarse voice:
"Then what does Xiao Jiu want to do tonight?"
She distanced herself slightly, looked at Dai Ruyan with bright eyes, and said, "Of course...to do something fun."
Because of her anger, Dai Ruyan has always let her mess around in the past few months.
The candlelight at the side was dimly illuminating her face, Dai Ruyan's palms were slightly hot and he caressed the upper side of her face, she raised her head slightly and kissed her cheek lightly.
"Do you want it now?" Dai Ruyan held her hand with his fingertips and led her to the bed.
But she still didn't know it, obediently let Dai Ruyan lead her, and even joked with a smile: "Sure enough, Ayan still thought about it, right?"
Dai Ruyan blushed slightly and only responded softly, until when she lightly grabbed her sash, her smiling eyes were filled with surprise.
"Ayan, this is a bit different from what I imagined." She suddenly turned into a pure and lovely little white rabbit, looking at Dai Ruyan pitifully.
"Xiao Jiu is tired these days, isn't she?" Dai Ruyan tore off the gown with her fingertips. She always thought the gowns were complicated, so she always thought of some novel gown styles.
The half-open loose gown made her look very thin, but Dai Ruyan didn't intend to stop her hands in distress, but when she lowered her head slightly, she suddenly stretched out her hands, obviously wanting to make a final struggle.
It's just that Dai Ruyan smiled and kissed her, the flames in her eyes, she knew it clearly, so she didn't struggle anymore.
Although Dai Ruyan didn't speak boldly and directly about getting close like she always talked about it.
Of course, it's not all because of shyness, it's just that Gong Guo is strict with women, so Dai Ruyan doesn't know how to speak.
But she is different, as long as she thinks, she can speak freely like eating and drinking.
When the two separated a little, she was not as bold as before, her eyes seemed to be stained with water mist, although not as bright as before, but like a deer in the mountains, she was still very moving.
Dai Ruyan doesn't know how to describe her moving, or even the most beautiful poems in this world can't describe one-tenth of her.
Or because she had bathed before, the faint floral fragrance was particularly strong, and Dai Ruyan imitated her usual practice of lowering her head to sniff, and sniffed lightly.
But she suddenly smiled and said, "Is it very fragrant?"
"Well, very sweet."
Or it can be said to be sweet, maybe it has something to do with her extreme love for sweets, Dai Ruyan can often smell a very sweet smell.
"Sweet? Ayan, you are naughty." She blushed and didn't know where she was thinking.
Dai Ruyan turned her head and bit her cheek lightly and sighed: "It's really sweet."
She probably didn't expect that Dai Ruyan would really take a bite, and calmed down, not at all as lively as she was when she was messing around in the past.
As if this is her rare female weakness, Dai Ruyan is always very cautious when getting close to her.
After all, she was still very afraid of pain.
And when she gets close to people, sometimes she doesn't shy away from it, and even teases Dai Ruyan on purpose, and asks over and over again in a nasty way if she likes it?
If Dai Ruyan keeps quiet, she will go too far, and she often has to toss Dai Ruyan to keep talking.
Of course, because of her, at least Dai Ruyan changed the meaning of getting close.
When the grandmother sent the mother to explain it, it was just a task for people to reproduce. A woman should obey and let her husband give everything, even if it is pain, she must accept it with a smile.
So much so that Dai Ruyan was a little disgusted with this matter, but she made Dai Ruyan completely forget the meticulous teachings of her former grandmother from the first time.
Although there is pain, the joy she brings is not
As if wishing that the whole person was like a ball of flames, the soft calls that stayed in his ears could kill Gong Yu's life.
When the soft voice came from Shawinei, it quietly sounded in this silent hall.
At twilight, the palace people outside were already waiting outside, but no one dared to step into the palace.
The new eunuch at the side was even more anxious, and muttered in a low voice: "Could it be that your majesty is not going to court today?"
When the sun quietly emerged from the clouds, Gong Yu frowned as if she was about to fall apart, unable to move.
Dai Ruyan leaned against Gong Yu, without even leaving a gap, although it is a good thing to be accompanied by a beauty.
But it was very difficult for Gong Yu to be unable to move at all, so she could only look sideways at Dai Ruyan, who seemed to be still sleeping soundly.
In the past, Dai Ruyan should have woken up by now, Gong Yu leaned in and kissed the side of her cheek, and wanted to pull her outstretched arm away, but she couldn't do it.
Only then did Gong Yu realize that Dai Ruyan might have woken up a long time ago.
"Ayan?"
The person who was buried next to the palace jade pillow refused to answer, obviously like a child who wanted to play tricks.
"If you don't let go, you won't be able to go to court today."
The voice fell quietly, and Dai Ruyan opened his eyes with his fingertips, the eyes were very clear, he leaned closer and kissed Gong Yu on the side of his face and asked, "Xiao Jiu will accompany me today, okay?"
In the past, Dai Ruyan would never say such things, Gong Yu's heart was soft, but after thinking about it, she couldn't just follow her mind like this.
Besides, she has always been very smart, maybe even if she is sure, she will soften her heart. Thinking about it like this, Gong Yu said with a cold face: "No, the court affairs are busy these days."
After saying this, Gong Yu felt inexplicably cold and ruthless, and she was so tender with her last night, how could she have become the sight of a scumbag right now!
"Well."
Hey?
Why is this reaction unreasonable?
Dai Ruyan let go of the arm that imprisoned Gong Yu, and turned his back to Gong Yu without saying a word.
Gong Yu calmed down for a while, staring blankly, still a little bit unrecovered.
Are you angry like this?
Not like, on the contrary, it seems sad.
During these years of getting along, Gong Yu never said anything harsh to Dai Ruyan most of the time, let alone made her feel sad?
The more Gong Yu thought about it, the more guilty she felt, and she tried to reach out, but the little eunuch outside shouted through the door: "Your Majesty, are you still going to court today?"
The hand stopped in mid-air, Gong Yu withdrew it again, still put on her robes, caught a glimpse of the skirts scattered on the side with a blushing face, hurriedly picked them up one by one, and put them aside.
I thought she might be tired, after all, she was really overly enthusiastic last night, and even Gong Yu felt a little tired.
Just like that, Gong Yu went to the early court, and rushed to the inner hall with an itch in her heart, but Dai Ruyan was not in the inner hall.
"Where did she...the queen go?" Gong Yu changed her tone and asked.
The little eunuch who was taking care of the palace at the side responded, "The Empress has returned to the palace."
Why did you go back again?
Gong Yu got up and sat down again, but she just couldn't sit still, thinking that she couldn't do it, she must calm down.
In the past, Dai Ruyan sent people to invite Gong Yu to have a meal, but now the palace people did not come. Gong Yu was hungry and waited until noon, then quietly sent the little eunuch to Dai Ruyan to inquire.
Only now did I know that Dai Ruyan was still asleep.
The harmed Gong Yu was worried that he was a little absent-minded even in reviewing the memorials early in the morning.
It wasn't until evening that Gong Yu finished processing the memorial. Although it was already March outside, it was still a bit cold after all.
Hearing that Dai Ruyan slept all day without eating, Gong Yu was very worried, so she had to rush to Dai Ruyan.
Entering the hall, because Dai Ruyan never likes to have many people around, the hall is very empty.
Gong Yu jumped over the screen, walked towards the bed, and saw Dai Ruyan sleeping beside her, and what she was holding in her hand was the usual clothes that Gong Yu used to wear.
The setting sun that was about to set cast dim yellow light through the slightly open window, and the silence in the hall seemed to be a prison for Dai Ruyan.
Can't help being filled with guilt, Gong Yu remembered pressing the seal of the marriage letter with her, thinking that as long as it was for her, even if it was the throne that had been disputed by everyone, she would definitely hold on to it for her.
But he never thought that he would deliberately neglect her like this. She was very good to him, and even took the elixir at the risk of his own life, but Gong Yu couldn't find any other way to let her know that he would I feel sorry for her.
If something else happened in the future and she acted in such an extreme way, then she would only regret it for the rest of her life.
Thinking of this, Gong Yu's eyes turned red inexplicably.Cautiously sitting aside, watching carefully, it seems that she has lost weight again.
Must have not had a good meal again.
Knowing that she always ate less, Gong Yu used to follow her with the food, only hoping that she would eat more.
The person who was lying quietly woke up suddenly, looked at Gong Yu in a daze, and called out with some uncertainty: "Xiao Jiu..."
Gong Yu came back to her senses, fearing that she would see her emotions, she tilted her head slightly and said, "I heard from the palace people that you are sick and haven't eaten for a day, so I came to take a look."
Now that she opens her mouth to tell lies, Gong Yu can already do it easily.
After all, the group of ministers in the court are all human beings, and they talk nonsense when they see people talking about people.
Dai Ruyan stretched out his hand from under the quilt to lightly hold Gong Yu's hand that was hanging by the side and asked, "Is Xiao Jiu worried about me?"
Her cheeks were a little pale, Gong Yu really couldn't bear to be indifferent, so she had to answer honestly: "Yeah."
"I thought Xiao Jiu was angry, so I wouldn't come to this palace."
The hand that was being held was obviously already firmly held by her, as if she was deeply afraid that Gong Yu would leave.
"You haven't eaten all day, get up quickly."
"It's okay." Dai Ruyan held Gong Yu's hand and said in a low voice, "I'm just a little tired because of last night."
Although Gong Yu still looked serious, but when Dai Ruyan casually mentioned last night, she still became hot with thin skin.
But he couldn't look back, so he leaned towards Dai Ruyan who was lying on the side, touched the cool cheek lightly with his fingertips and whispered: "Are you still tired?"
Dai Ruyan blinked her eyes lightly and raised the corners of her mouth in response: "I'm not tired, I won't be tired if Xiao Jiu comes to see me."
This is really a foul!
Originally, before Gong Yu came, she kept repeating that she was just looking around and not staying for a long time, but unexpectedly, the two of them would eat together after this stay.
The palace servants set meals and left the inner hall, Dai Ruyan sat beside him in a light-colored thin robe.
"Why didn't Ayan drink soup today?" Seeing that Dai Ruyan had no intention of serving soup, Gong Yu consciously filled a serving of soup and handed it to Dai Ruyan's hand.
Dai Ruyan reached out to take it with his eyes slightly bright, and sipped the soup in silence.
It felt like suddenly returning to normal life in the old days.
When Gong Yu came back to her senses, it was already dark outside the window, Dai Ruyan just lit the palace lantern in the hall.
this way?or not to go?
According to Gong Yu's thoughts before coming, then he must leave.
It can be seen that Dai Ruyan has carefully put away Gongyu's robe on the bed, and there is a gentleness in the eyebrows.
Gong Yu couldn't help feeling soft-hearted, if she really left, she would have to stay alone in this empty hall again.
He was not an indifferent person in the first place, and he was even more reluctant to be extremely indifferent to her over and over again.
Therefore, when all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were engaged in partisan disputes over the disagreement between the emperor and the empress, Gong Yu was enjoying flowers in the imperial garden of Ru Yan, the same generation.
When Chun Rili was originally a concubine in the palace, the old ministers in previous years always had the guts to speak out, but it was just that the newcomers were changed, but they still changed the soup without changing the medicine.
It's just that Gong Yu didn't expect that all kinds of rumors about the incompatibility between the emperor and the empress spread in the capital, and some of them were even very suspicious.
For example, the Queen of the Shangyuan Festival and a woman were openly playing together in the capital. After hearing this, Gong Yu silently chose to pretend that she didn't hear it.
However, Zhao Ting, who was very enthusiastic about this matter, met Gong Yu and asked loyally: "Your Majesty, don't you doubt it?"
Gong Yu watched too much about sowing dissension, but she didn't expect that this group of ministers were not afraid of death, and even the emperor's harem would have a hand in it, which was really annoying.
Gong Yu had no choice but to close the memorial and said patiently: "Teacher Zhao is too worried, the queen is in the palace all day, how can she get close to the women next to her, this is mostly nonsense made up by idlers."
I don't know why this Zhao Ting always looks at Gong Yu inexplicably and pitifully every time he talks to Gong Yu, as if he thinks Gong Yu is an incompetent puppet bullied by Dai Ruyan.
In any case, Gong Yu finally had someone send the grand tutor away, and the whole person just calmed down to review the memorial.
In spring, when the warblers are flying and the grass is growing, the imperial garden is naturally full of purples and reds. Dai Ruyan often likes to buy rouge at this time.
There were no other concubines in the harem, and even the entire imperial garden was very quiet. Dai Ruyan was picking the right flowers beside the flowers, but she noticed a gaze looking in this direction, and with a slightly wrinkled brow, she saw that Zhao Ting was not far away.
"See empress empress." Zhao Ting kowtowed and saluted, bowing his head.
Dai Ruyan was holding a delicate flower with her fingertips, and said with thin lips, "Teacher Zhao has frequently discussed political affairs with His Majesty in the past few days, no doubt he is the loyal minister of the Zhao family."
Zhao Tingfu bowed his head and replied: "The empress is too honored, and it is the duty of ministers to share the worries of the monarch."
"Teacher Zhao should get up quickly."
"Thank you Queen Empress."
Dai Ruyan's eyes flickered slightly, and he held the scissors in his hand to cut off the dazzling flower, and then put it on the wooden tray held by the palace servant.
Zhao Ting, who got up, stretched out his hand to straighten the official robe, and retreated to the side, as if he did not dare to look at Dai Ruyan.
"I don't want to disturb the Queen's Majesty's elegance, so I will leave first."
"Wait a minute."
There seemed to be fierce flashes in Zhao Ting's eyes, but he suppressed it quickly, turned around respectfully and asked, "What orders does the Empress have?"
Dai Ruyan's eyes fell on the palm of the flower and said softly: "There are eyes and ears all over the palace, Taifu Zhao has some things to be careful about."
"My minister always remembers the empress' teachings."
"It's not about teaching, Taifu Zhao should step down if you have something to do."
When Zhao Ting turned around and hurried to the side palace, Dai Ruyan turned his head to look at the steady pace, and couldn't help sighing: "There are always some restless people in this palace who want to stir up trouble."
"I really want to kill him." Dai Ruyan's eyes were deep, and it seemed that the words of such a person were as casual as saying that this flower is so beautiful.
In a blink of an eye, Dai Ruyan blinked lightly, as if he had calmed down, put the flowers in his hand into a wooden basin and whispered: "He is still useful, you should calm down."
As for the concubine's acceptance, Dai Ruyan had heard about it for a long time. Although she never mentioned it, Dai Ruyan also received a report from the spies.
Zhao Ting wantonly released all kinds of rumors about the disagreement between the emperor and empress, which intensified the dispute between the two parties in the court. On the surface, Zhao Ting called for the emperor, but in fact he just used this excuse to win over the power of the court.
And it was not the first time that Dai Ruyan felt Zhao Ting's killing intent, it was obvious that this person had evil intentions.
When the sun got bigger, Dai Ruyan went into the pavilion to choose suitable flowers for grinding ink and rouge.
The palace people waited quietly, the breeze in the pavilion was cool, it was a good time in spring.
With a little effort, the flower juice is bright and full, and Dai Ruyan is also very satisfied.
Suddenly there were footsteps approaching at the end of the long corridor, and then they could be heard more clearly. It was obvious that the hurried footsteps were not palace maids.
"Ayan."
"En." Dai Ruyan turned his head and saw her hurrying towards him, as if chanting dissatisfiedly, "Why aren't you in the inner hall?"
"Xiao Jiu wants to ask me for something?"
She sat on the side and poured tea for herself, took a sip and said, "I just came to this pavilion after a long detour."
"Recently, you have been busy with official business, and you poked your head out of the memorial every time you didn't see me, so I also found something to do by myself, so as to save the boring reading all day long."
"A Yan also finds reading boring." She asked with frivolous eyebrows.
"Of course I will. Do you think I'm a bookworm in Xiaojiu's eyes?" Dai Ruyan dipped some rouge on his fingertips, tapped the center of her eyebrows, and left the red mark.
She was stunned for a moment, and stretched out her hand to touch it, but Dai Ruyan hurriedly held her hand and said, "It looks good."
"Really...pretty?" She looked into those bright eyes and asked trustingly:
"Well, it's pretty."
Dai Ruyan smiled with her eyebrows bent, rubbed her earlobe lightly with her fingertips and said, "How is your chat with Mr. Zhao?"
"Not good." Her eyes suddenly darkened, and she frowned slightly: "It's really a hard rock, I want to move him to see the city gate, so I can save myself talking about it in my ears all day long."
"Don't frown."
"Am I frowning?"
"Ah."
She stretched out her hand and rubbed her brows, sat closer and said, "Ah Yan makes rouge every year, so I can't use it up."
Dai Ruyan could also hear the meaning behind her words, but she still pretended not to understand and said, "Of course it's used up."
"But in the past, Ayan only applied a little bit, and it was enough."
"Xiao Jiu, do you want this rouge?"
It was probably too direct, she pursed her lips tightly and blinked her eyes, showing her sincerity and innocence, but in the end she asked laxly, "Is just one box okay?"
"The rouge I have here is naturally yours, why do you need to ask me for it?"
"It's different."
She seemed to be thinking about how to say it, and after a while she said again: "I haven't received a small gift from Ayan for a long time."
"Small gift?" Dai Ruyan smiled and said, "But didn't you ask me to embroider a new sachet for you a few days ago?"
She probably didn't expect Dai Ruyan to refuse so jokingly, she was slightly stunned and didn't respond.
Dai Ruyan stretched out his hand to hold her hand, and wrote Zeng Danse for her.
Or because of her tall head, the slender and slender fingers are naturally good-looking. After applying the rouge, she opened her hands and looked to the side and said, "Aren't you going to make me a box of rouge?"
"When did I ever say no?"
After she stopped answering, she immediately smiled, leaned in and kissed Dai Ruyan, stretched her arms around Dai Ruyan and said, "I know that Ayan treats me the best!"
Dai Ruyan hurriedly stretched out his hand to support her, avoiding the rouge that her sleeve robe swept to the side, and let her helplessly.
At least she is so enthusiastic, it's better than deliberately sullen in the past few days.
Hunting in spring is an activity of the royal family of the palace country, and the original intention is to let the children of the royal family of the palace country not waste their days.
But now that the royal family of Gongguo is in decline, and they have never had any heirs, so even this hunting activity has become quite deserted.
She was riding a horse and was practicing archery with great interest, or because the officials in the court have been clinging to their heirs these days, she was quite depressed.
All of a sudden there was a court lady on the other side who seemed to be looking there. Although she was holding tea in her hand, she obviously had other intentions.
Dai Ruyan turned her head and said, "Take down that maid, and strictly investigate and interrogate her."
"Yes, the Queen Mother."
Seeing the palace lady being taken away from the horse farm, Dai Ruyan just looked away, and even Fang Zheng was riding a horse and waving to this side, apparently in a good mood.
After being honed on the battlefield, her archery skills are much better than before, so she wanted to compete with the generals in this hunt, so she practiced so hard.
After the hidden guard reported that the woman was sent by Zhao Taifu, Dai Ruyan put down the tea in his hand, and said to the little eunuch who was waiting at the side: "If your majesty asks me, I will tell you that there are some matters in the harem that I need to go to." deal with."
The little eunuch bowed his head and knelt aside and said: "Yes, this servant has remembered."
Taking a phoenix chariot into a side hall, Dai Ruyan stepped into the hall, the inside was very dark, or it almost smelled musty because it had been left unattended for a long time.
There were all kinds of instruments of torture on the side, Dai Ruyan raised his hand to pick up a whip and put it in his hand to play with, sitting quietly among them, he saw a woman dragged in by the soldiers.
"Empress, please spare me!" The scarred woman looked at Dai Ruyan in panic.
"Since you know that Bengong is the queen, you shouldn't enter the palace privately and become Taifu Zhao's pawn."
The woman lay on the side crying and said: "It's none of Mr. Zhao's business, it's because the slaves want to see the emperor, so they venture into the racecourse."
Dai Ruyan raised his eyebrows slightly, and the guards at the side had already slammed down their whips, and a bloodstain appeared on the woman's skirt.
"Even if you don't say it, I have already found out who sent you into the palace, and your purpose is also clear."
The woman choked up and cried and remained silent.
"Teacher Zhao was also a well-known talent among the children of officials in the capital. You admired him and were even willing to enter the palace for him."
"No... no!" the woman said in panic.
"You are not afraid of death, but you are afraid of implicating Zhao Ting. Unfortunately, Zhao Ting just treats you as a pawn."
This woman has a pretty face and outstanding looks, Dai Ruyan can tell at a glance that she is not an ordinary court lady.
And Zhao Ting naturally also liked her beauty, Dai Ruyan put the whip in his hand aside and said: "I won't kill you, and I can even make a promise with you."
"What agreement?"
"After you leave the palace, if Zhao Ting still treats you with courtesy, then the palace will make you his concubine and let you enter the Zhao family."
The woman looked at Dai Ruyan in disbelief, dodging her eyes and said, "Why does the Empress do this?"
Dai Ruyan smiled and said, "Because Zhao Ting will definitely let you die."
Power ministers designed court ladies to seduce the emperor and were suspected of disturbing the harem, which is a felony.
"I beg the empress to grant death to my servant!" The woman kowtowed infatuatedly, begging for death with all her heart.
"Come here, send her out of the palace."
None of the sons and daughters of officials in this capital city have had affairs with infatuated women, but these infatuated women do not know that for their lives, the prestige of aristocratic families and the glory and wealth of the children of officials and eunuchs are what they cannot give up.
When he came out again, the sunlight outside was still dazzling, Dai Ruyan looked sideways at the room and said, "Send someone to release the news to make sure Zhao Ting knows about it. Once Zhao Ting makes a move, we can save her at a critical moment."
"Yes."
Only those who have been seriously injured will want to recklessly take revenge, and then one can become a perfect pawn.
In the imperial court, no matter whether it is the Daishi party or the Taifu party, no matter which of the two parties is attacked, it will threaten the power in the hands of the emperor.
Only by allowing these two parties to exist in the court of the palace to suppress each other, and the emperor can control them, can the palace be prosperous step by step.
Zhao Ting has always been suspicious by nature, and has been an official in the court for many years. His father is strict, and has served as the Taifu in the court for decades, and he has always suppressed Zhao Ting.
Now that Zhao Ting has finally gained power, if he wants to control him, he must place a pawn beside him, and let him know that this is a warning from Dai Ruyan.
When Dai Ruyan returned to the palace, the little eunuch who was outside at that time kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty is waiting for you, Empress Dowager."
Stepping into the inner hall, it was much cooler inside, the accompanying palace servants retreated outside the bead curtain, Dai Ruyan opened the bead curtain and walked inside.
I saw that the inner hall was empty, except for the dragon robe that she had hastily thrown aside, it was still wrinkled on the rack, which reminded Dai Ruyan that she might have gone to the inner hall to take a bath because of the heat.
Dai Ruyan handed over the dragon robe to the palace servants to wash, then made tea and asked the palace servants to prepare pastries and hot porridge, guessing that she might be hungry again later.
As her body recovered day by day, she was thinking about all kinds of snacks and snacks as before.
When the footsteps came closer, she was wearing a thin robe and a handkerchief on her head, humming a strange tune and walking over.
"Ayan, you're back!" She sat aside with a smile, reached out and picked up the pastry and stuffed it into her mouth.
Not worried at all that her long hair casually scattered behind her ears would soak her robe, Dai Ruyan had no choice but to reach out and take away the handkerchief she put on her head, got up and sat beside her, and wiped the long hair for her. hair.
She held the porridge bowl and turned her head to look over from time to time, but didn't speak, Dai Ruyan let her watch.
Till her long hair dried a lot, Dai Ruyan stretched out his hand to gently brush away the broken hair around her cheeks, then she saw her eyebrows bent and said with a smile: "Ayan, why don't you talk?"
"What are you talking about?" Dai Ruyan paused when his fingertips lightly touched her slightly hot cheek, and poked lightly, saying, "I always feel that you have gained a lot of weight recently."
"What?" She opened her eyes innocently, hurriedly put down the porridge in her hand, got up and went to hold the bronze mirror, then sat cross-legged and stared at her face.
She did this kind of movement very quickly, Dai Ruyan couldn't help smiling, touched the slightly frowning brow lightly with fingertips and said: "Don't frown."
"I've really gained weight!" She pulled half of her face and said sadly, "It's really rounded a lot."
"Come round, won't you?"
She turned her head to the side and replied, "Not good."
Seeing that her brows were tightly wrinkled again, Dai Ruyan pressed down slightly, she stretched out her hand to cover her forehead in surprise and said: "Ayan, you bully me!"
This person is very well-behaved on weekdays, but sometimes if he starts messing around, it really gives Dai Ruyan a headache.
"I just don't like your frowning, how can I bully you?"
Afraid that she would be really angry, Dai Ruyan hurriedly stretched out his arms and hugged her lightly, rubbing the center of her brows lightly with his fingertips and said: "I'll rub it for you."
But she wanted to hide to the side, fortunately Dai Ruyan's arms had already restrained her, so she would not be troubled again.
Unable to escape, she could only say aloud: "I'm going to frown!"
"Frown will make you old faster."
Sure enough, with such a move, she calmed down, looked at this direction and said: "Will Ah Yan still like me as an old lady?"
"I like it." Dai Ruyan didn't expect that she would suddenly ask this question, obviously it should be because she was worried.
She opened some distance to look at Dai Ruyan, and said very seriously: "Really?"
Seeing her serious face, Dai Ruyan lowered his head and kissed her tight lips and said: "You are really talking stupid."
Or she didn't expect to kiss him suddenly, her cheeks were obviously flushed, but she herself was still very brave, but without the flame just now, she was much calmer.
Dai Ruyan stretched out his hand to straighten her thin robe, hugged her lightly with his arms slightly tight, kissed her cheek with his head sideways and said, "Why don't you talk?"
But she turned her head sideways and held the bronze mirror by herself, looking at Dai Ruyan in the bronze mirror, she said: "My brows are reddened by Ah Yan."
"With that little strength, how could you be red?" Dai Ruyan stretched out his hands to gently hold her face and moved closer, knowing that she was talking nonsense with her eyes open.
But Fangcai's strength is indeed much stronger than before, she has the confidence to lie, Dai Ruyan is not easy to expose, save her making up other excuses.
"I'll rub it for you, it won't hurt anymore." Dai Ruyan could only say coaxing a child.
Although she was still awkward, she didn't struggle any more, she leaned on Dai Ruyan and said in a low voice, "Where did you leave me alone?"
As soon as these words came out, Dai Ruyan couldn't help being taken aback, it turned out that this was the reason for her fuss.
Then he stopped rubbing his palms, hugged her lightly and said, "It's all about dealing with the affairs of the harem, didn't the little eunuch tell you?"
She looked sideways at Dai Ruyan and said, "I told you."
"Then you still ask me?" Dai Ruyan helplessly rubbed her earlobe.
"If the harem is busy, why doesn't Ayan recruit some female officials?"
"Miss?"
In fact, Dai Ruyan has never envisaged recruiting women to take up some important positions, but this can only be implemented if a precedent is set.
The current situation in the DPRK and China is still unstable, and rashly setting up female officials is likely to arouse public opinion in the court.
She opened the distance a little, reached out to take the pastry and stuffed it into her mouth again, without the distress of worrying about her gaining weight just now.
Can't help but make Dai Ruyan a little confused. Could it be that her uproar just now was all a drama?
"This pastry is delicate and tastes good." She finished the small stack of pastries in a few mouthfuls and still admired it.
Dai Ruyan gently pinched her earlobe with her fingertips and said, "Are you lying to me just now?"
She looked at Dai Ruyan with sly eyes and smiled and said: "It's nothing, how can I lie to Ayan."
"Really?"
"real!"
This man is really more and more able to open his eyes and talk nonsense.
When it was approaching dusk, she was busy reviewing memorials and settled down a lot. Dai Ruyan stretched out her hand to hold her loose hair, and she had already done a lot.
Not far from the window was a pool, and it was very cool when the breeze came slowly, she suddenly tilted her head and smiled with eyebrows bent: "The wind in this spring is really comfortable."
Comfortable?
Dai Ruyan smiled and said nothing, just flipping through the book in his hand, this book is an ancient book found from the Sangluo country, it mentioned the refining and efficacy of the Sangluo country's secret method of longevity medicine.
Because Jinzhou is the only place with the flower of eternal life, they can get very little pollen. Therefore, most of the longevity medicines developed by the royal family of Sangrui Kingdom are to prolong life, but they do not have the rumored immortality.
Although the ancient method that Dai Ruyan found may be different from the long-living medicine secretly made by the Sangrui Kingdom, but now that the national teacher is dead, there is no one in this world who can tell the exact effect of the only elixir.
And it is impossible for Dai Ruyan to put her in danger again, just let someone feel her pulse to ensure that the poison in her body has been cured, and the rest can only wait and see.
Left and right took the elixir together with her, thinking that regardless of longevity or not, they would go with her, and Dai Ruyan felt at ease.
It was probably because Dai Ruyan hadn't responded to her for a long time, she suddenly leaned over, kissed the side of the next generation Ruyan's cheek, and said seriously: "Is the book so beautiful?"
Dai Ruyan blinked and looked at the person in front of him who was obviously about to make a fuss, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Jiu is the prettiest."
She calmed down all of a sudden, although her lips were tightly pressed, but her eyes were full of smiles that couldn't be hidden, and she couldn't help laughing after a while.
"Don't think I won't be angry if you say that." She held the memorial to herself and said.
"Then it's better tonight..."
"Okay!"
Dai Ruyan smiled and said, "You know what I said before I said it?"
She read like stars in her eyes: "I understand!"
"Could it be that Xiao Jiu already knows that he will eat chicken porridge with mushrooms tonight?" Dai Ruyan asked teasingly.
Seeing that she pulled her face down, she obviously knew that Dai Ruyan did it on purpose, so she turned her head and looked out the window and ignored Dai Ruyan.
Usually at times like this, Dai Ruyan is not in a hurry, she is the most impatient, usually when the two of them are silent, she would just ramble on Dai Ruyan, how could she not speak alone.
When it was dark, Dai Ruyan wanted to get up to let someone hold a banquet, but she suddenly asked, "Where are you going?"
Dai Ruyan put down the book in her hand, walked to her side and said, "I'm not going anywhere, I'm just accompanying Xiaojiu alone."
She looked up at Dai Ruyan, stretched out her hand to hold Dai Ruyan's hand, and said as if complaining or coquettishly: "You don't even coax me."
Encircled by her arms, Dai Ruyan couldn't move, so he could only raise his hand to gently rub her loose hair and said: "Your hair is dry, let me tie it up for you."
"Don't." She still didn't let go, grabbing Dai Ruyan shamelessly.
Dai Ruyan caressed her soft earlobe with her fingertips and said with a smile: "Then what do you want me to do?"
Only then did she raise her head slightly, looked up at Dai Ruyan and said, "Kiss me first, and I'll tell you."
"Okay." Dai Ruyan lowered his head slightly and kissed her brow, and she let go of her hand, but Dai Ruyan didn't take a distance away, holding her warm cheeks with both hands, and lightly fell on her cheeks, reaching the corner of her mouth. .
The hall was quite dark already, Dai Ruyan stared at her and said, "Is this good?"
"Not good." She took the initiative to raise her head, pecked Dai Ruyan's lips several times, and then pulled some distance away.
Dai Ruyan got up to light the lamp, and it was very dark around, so she grabbed Dai Ruyan's clothes and insisted on following.
It wasn't until the palace lanterns in the hall were lit that Dai Ruyan realized that the thin robe on her body was already loose and out of shape.
In the past, she wore her hair tied up most of the time, and Dai Ruyan was used to it, but her black hair was scattered like this, which made her fair face more white and tender, making her look a lot younger.
"Ayan?" She blinked and approached without knowing it.
The whole person lazily stretched out his arms to embrace Dai Ruyan, leaning against his cheek and not saying a word.
When Dai Ruyan regained consciousness in a trance, he heard the beating of his heart, which kept beating just because of her.
Obviously so many years have passed, but Dai Ruyan is always very nervous every time he stretches out his hand to hug her lightly. This feeling is like fearing that once you touch her, she will suddenly disappear in front of your eyes.
The more frightened she was, the more she wanted to hold it tightly, Dai Ruyan tightened her arms in response: "What's wrong?"
"Aren't you going to do something else tonight?" She naughtily whispered in Dai Ruyan's ear.
It seemed that the soft voice ran into the heart along the ears, making Dai Ruyan unable to control her whole body, and asked in a hoarse voice:
"Then what does Xiao Jiu want to do tonight?"
She distanced herself slightly, looked at Dai Ruyan with bright eyes, and said, "Of course...to do something fun."
Because of her anger, Dai Ruyan has always let her mess around in the past few months.
The candlelight at the side was dimly illuminating her face, Dai Ruyan's palms were slightly hot and he caressed the upper side of her face, she raised her head slightly and kissed her cheek lightly.
"Do you want it now?" Dai Ruyan held her hand with his fingertips and led her to the bed.
But she still didn't know it, obediently let Dai Ruyan lead her, and even joked with a smile: "Sure enough, Ayan still thought about it, right?"
Dai Ruyan blushed slightly and only responded softly, until when she lightly grabbed her sash, her smiling eyes were filled with surprise.
"Ayan, this is a bit different from what I imagined." She suddenly turned into a pure and lovely little white rabbit, looking at Dai Ruyan pitifully.
"Xiao Jiu is tired these days, isn't she?" Dai Ruyan tore off the gown with her fingertips. She always thought the gowns were complicated, so she always thought of some novel gown styles.
The half-open loose gown made her look very thin, but Dai Ruyan didn't intend to stop her hands in distress, but when she lowered her head slightly, she suddenly stretched out her hands, obviously wanting to make a final struggle.
It's just that Dai Ruyan smiled and kissed her, the flames in her eyes, she knew it clearly, so she didn't struggle anymore.
Although Dai Ruyan didn't speak boldly and directly about getting close like she always talked about it.
Of course, it's not all because of shyness, it's just that Gong Guo is strict with women, so Dai Ruyan doesn't know how to speak.
But she is different, as long as she thinks, she can speak freely like eating and drinking.
When the two separated a little, she was not as bold as before, her eyes seemed to be stained with water mist, although not as bright as before, but like a deer in the mountains, she was still very moving.
Dai Ruyan doesn't know how to describe her moving, or even the most beautiful poems in this world can't describe one-tenth of her.
Or because she had bathed before, the faint floral fragrance was particularly strong, and Dai Ruyan imitated her usual practice of lowering her head to sniff, and sniffed lightly.
But she suddenly smiled and said, "Is it very fragrant?"
"Well, very sweet."
Or it can be said to be sweet, maybe it has something to do with her extreme love for sweets, Dai Ruyan can often smell a very sweet smell.
"Sweet? Ayan, you are naughty." She blushed and didn't know where she was thinking.
Dai Ruyan turned her head and bit her cheek lightly and sighed: "It's really sweet."
She probably didn't expect that Dai Ruyan would really take a bite, and calmed down, not at all as lively as she was when she was messing around in the past.
As if this is her rare female weakness, Dai Ruyan is always very cautious when getting close to her.
After all, she was still very afraid of pain.
And when she gets close to people, sometimes she doesn't shy away from it, and even teases Dai Ruyan on purpose, and asks over and over again in a nasty way if she likes it?
If Dai Ruyan keeps quiet, she will go too far, and she often has to toss Dai Ruyan to keep talking.
Of course, because of her, at least Dai Ruyan changed the meaning of getting close.
When the grandmother sent the mother to explain it, it was just a task for people to reproduce. A woman should obey and let her husband give everything, even if it is pain, she must accept it with a smile.
So much so that Dai Ruyan was a little disgusted with this matter, but she made Dai Ruyan completely forget the meticulous teachings of her former grandmother from the first time.
Although there is pain, the joy she brings is not
