Noble First Daughter-in-law

Almost from the beginning of the northern tour with the emperor, all the way to the northern border, was returned to Yanmen City by the Turkic raid, was rescued and returned to the Eastern Capital, and got the news of Guan Yunmu's death. In the past few months, Shang Ruyi has never slept with a single person. sleep well.

And this night, it was also the first time in the past few months that she slept so peacefully.

But when she woke up again, she felt that her eyes were pitch black and her breathing was blocked. She was so frightened that she bounced up from the bed, only to realize that the quilt that she had slept on had been pulled to the top of her head at some point, covering herself completely. cover up.

It's no wonder that although I slept soundly last night, I always felt stuffy and hot.

Sweat broke out in the nest, Shang Ruyi pushed the quilt away angrily, reached out to wipe the sweat on her forehead, and turned her head again, only to find that the room was brightly lit, it must have been over ten hours.

She hurriedly wanted to call for someone, but she stopped hastily when she opened her mouth, and then turned her head to look, and found that the couch belonging to Yu Wenye was actually empty. Could it be that he left early in the morning?
Shang Ruyi called people, and soon, Tusheer and Wo Xue came in with a hot water basin and towels.

Shang Ruyi asked, "What about him?"

Tusheer said: "Miss, my uncle got up early in the morning and said that the emperor is going to court early today, and he will go to the palace to thank you."

"……Oh."

Shang Ruyi suddenly realized.

Since everyone followed Shengjia back to the Eastern Capital until now, the emperor has been absent from the court. Firstly, it takes some time to deal with the backlog of affairs before. Second, so many people were injured or injured during the northern tour, and every family has to attend funerals when they come back. Like the Duke's Mansion, the funeral was held for seven days.

Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and it is time to go to court.

Lying Xue said: "Young Madam, before leaving, the Young Master specially instructed that the Young Madam is tired these days, so we must not come to wake the Young Madam, so that you can sleep as long as you can. Young Madam, Young Master I really feel sorry for you."

"..."

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but blush.

She just said "talkative" and went to wash herself. She didn't go out until she finished her dressing. It was really a big sun outside. Although the sun in winter didn't have much power, the bright light still made people feel refreshed physically and mentally. carefree.

As soon as Shang Ruyi went out, she bumped into Aunt Hui.

She bowed to her and said respectfully: "Young Madam."

Shang Ruyi knew that she had won this time, but it was far from the time when she could fight against her, not to mention that she was not at the stage of confrontation now, so she still said politely: "Aunt Hui, it's so early Are you up and busy?"

Aunt Hui smiled pointedly and said, "It's getting late."

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but blush—even if everyone knew that she was very tired these days, but she didn't wake up until this time, she really didn't have the consciousness of being the young lady of the Duke's Mansion, so she could only muddle through.

Aunt Hui smiled and said, "Today is busier than usual."

Shang Ruyi said, "What's the matter?"

Aunt Hui said calmly: "The waiter has lost two people, one of them is in charge, and the cups and utensils used in the past few days have to be recycled. There is no skilled person to do this, but it will cost more than usual. How many times the effort."

Shang Ruyi was taken aback.

Aunt Hui smiled again and said to her: "Young Madam has been tired for the past few days, it's better to go to rest and rest, I will go to work first."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Shang Ruyi stood there staring at her back in a daze for a long time, then left thoughtfully, but did not go back to the room to rest immediately, but went to the East Courtyard, where she saw that she was still cleaning up for Guan Yunmu. The relic Jin Yun, and the haggard Chang Wan.

Although Shang Ruyi told her that she should not be abused when closing the firewood room, she obviously suffered a lot when she was locked in the firewood room in the cold winter, but Chang Wan didn't mention a word, and only thanked Shang Ruyi for washing herself Feeling wronged, she cried and said, "Young Madam's kindness, Chang Wan will never forget it."

Shang Ruyi smiled lightly and said: "Since you are innocent, then clearing up your grievances is what people in this family should do. It's not a kind of grace, you don't have to do it."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Jin Yun again: "Next——does the Duke have any arrangements for you?"

Both Jin Yun and Chang Wan shook their heads.

Seeing them like this, Shang Ruyi's expression became a little dignified.

They chatted for a while before Shang Ruyi came back to the room. Because of her preoccupation, she didn't even eat lunch, so she just sat in the room in a daze, and the emperor's court meeting on this day was several times longer than usual, probably It was because there was a backlog of too many official duties during the northern tour, and when the Duke and Yu Wenye returned to the mansion, the application time had already passed.

As soon as Yu Wenye pushed the door, he saw Shang Ruyi sitting on the short table in the middle of the room, with most of his body lying on it, looking too lazy to move, but his brows were slightly frowned, his eyes were distracted, and he seemed to be concentrating on thinking what.

He walked over slowly until he sat down opposite her, but she was still motionless, as if she couldn't hear or see anything.

Yu Wenye said softly: "What are you thinking?"

Shang Ruyi was still preoccupied with her own affairs, and murmured: "I was thinking, sometimes, you have to do things in a rhythm, and it's actually easy to deal with bad people, but after dealing with them, no one will do things, I'm afraid it's worse The disadvantages of dealing with it are even greater..."

Yu Wenye frowned: "Huh?"

At this time, Shang Ruyi finally came to his senses, and hurriedly stood up: "Oh? You, why are you back?"

"Why, I can't come back?"

"No, no,"

Shang Ruyi smiled wryly. She hadn't recovered from her senses just now, but she offended him with a casual remark, and said with a quick smile, "I thought you would stay in the palace for a while longer."

Yu Wenye said lightly: "The matter is over, why don't you come back?"

Shang Ruyi hurriedly asked: "Go to court today to thank you, what's the matter? Did the emperor say anything?"

"..."

Yu Wenye didn't answer her immediately, but his eyes suddenly sharpened, and he looked up at her: "Why do you care so much about what the emperor said?"

Shang Ruyi was taken aback.

Even if she is not considered his "wife", but at least she is the young lady of the Duke's Mansion. It took so long for their father and son to go to court, and it took so long to come back. What is the emperor's arrangement? Shouldn't you be concerned?
And - obviously yesterday, the relationship between the two of them has eased a lot, why did he erect the thorns all over his body like a hedgehog that was poked by someone when he asked about their going to court.

Shang Ruyi was at a loss, but she also felt a little unhappy in her heart.

So he said lightly: "Then, I won't ask."

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little dull.

But she stopped asking, and Yu Wenye's expression softened. After being silent for a while, he suddenly said, "Why don't you eat lunch?"

Shang Ruyi was taken aback again, and looked up at him. He just came back, how did he know that he didn't have lunch?
She thought for a while and said softly, "I don't have any appetite."

"You have to eat even if you don't have an appetite. It's freezing, how can a person survive without eating?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for her to say anything else, she turned around and ordered someone to go to the kitchen to deliver some food to their room.The fire in the kitchen was also kept on, and some hot soup and dishes were delivered soon.

It's strange to say that she had never had an appetite before, but when she saw this not-so-rich meal, she felt a little real hunger. Shang Ruyi obediently picked up the bowl and chopsticks, took two bites, and her appetite increased. Some, so she ate more than half a bowl of hot soup and rice, and she swept away a plate of hot and sour cold dishes.

Seeing her eating deliciously, Yu Wenye snorted coldly: "Who said you didn't have an appetite just now?"

Shang Ruyi herself blushed a little, and said, "I don't know why, eating with fewer people is more delicious than eating in the dining hall."

"..."

Yu Wenye glanced at her, and his eyes seemed to be brighter.

But his face remained unchanged, and while continuing to eat his own, he said lightly: "I won't accompany you to eat in the house all the time, but there are no such big rules at home. The people in the kitchen deliver the food here, and no one will say anything about you."

Seeing that he hadn't finished eating, Shang Ruyi poured another half a bowl of soup, sipped it carefully, and said, "Yes."

Feeling that the atmosphere was getting better again, Shang Ruyi thought about it and decided to change the way of asking, so he said softly: "Speaking of which, you have been canonized as the General of the Fuguo, you will definitely be busier than before, and you will be able to go home for dinner in the future There must be less time."

"..."

Yu Wenye let out a heavy breath, and said, "It's not the future."

"Ok?"

"This morning, His Majesty has decreed that I will lead [-] troops to recapture Fuluo Cang—and set off in three days."

When Shang Ruyi heard this, his eyes widened in surprise.

In fact, she was not surprised that the emperor would send Yu Wenye to Xingluocang, after all, she already knew it in her heart when she was canonized before, and when Yu Wenye was playing with those stones in the hut of Banyan Temple, the two of them also talked very well Clearly, this matter is likely to fall on him.

Shang Ruyi was surprised that the emperor only asked him to order [-] troops? !

You know, the Wang Gang army led tens of thousands of people before, and after they occupied the Xingluo warehouse, they opened the granary to relieve the victims of the disasters, and tens of thousands of people went around to join them. Now the size of the Wang Gang army is at least more than [-].

But Xingluocang is in a dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The court lost Xingluocang before. Firstly, the guards were lax, and secondly, most of the sergeants were transferred to conquer Liaodong. Now the Wang Gang army has occupied There, naturally, they will not take it lightly. To recapture Xingluo Cang in the hands of such a team, and there are only [-] soldiers and horses, the difficulty can be imagined!

Just when Shang Ruyi was frowning, Yu Wenye told her one more thing——

"Right, one more thing."

"what's up?"

Yu Wenye looked at her with flickering eyes, and said, "You guessed it right before."

"Ok?"

"It is Xiao Yuansui who took down Xingluocang and is now leading Wang Gang's army there, ready to fight the imperial court!"
