Noble First Daughter-in-law

His expression changed so dramatically that Shang Ruyi couldn't even lie to himself that it was an illusion. As soon as Tusheer left the room, she immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

"..."

But seeing that Yu Wenye didn't say a word, and didn't even look at her anymore, he picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp, then turned around and walked to the couch and lay down.

Shang Ruyi was a little confused again.

what happened to him?When I came back today, I was in a bad mood, and I just managed to get better, but when a cup of tea was served, I didn't say a word, why did I seem to have offended him again?
Shang Ruyi only felt that this person's temper was becoming more and more incomprehensible, but when he thought that he was going to go to war soon, it was hard to argue with him.

He just sighed, drank tea by himself, and fell asleep.

On the second day, she woke up earlier than Yu Wenye, so she was able to avoid the trouble of having to share the bed and act for a few maidservants, but for some reason, after a whole night, Yu Wenye's mood Still not getting better, from washing to dressing, I didn't say a word to her.

Until they sent Yu Wenyuan to the gate.

Because the last time he conquered Liaodong, Yu Wenyuan only supervised the transportation of grain and grass in the west of Liaodong, and did not bring many soldiers and horses of his own. Therefore, when he returned to Taiyuan this time, he only traveled lightly, with only a few carriages and a team of escorts. Of course, He also took away some of the family servants, including Aunt Hui.

Yu Wenyuan stood at the gate, explained some things to Yu Wenye in detail, and then turned around and got into the carriage.

Before waiting for the carriage, he thought for a while, then turned to Shang Ruyi and said, "Ruyi, you stay in Luoyang, you need to be careful in everything, especially—"

He said, glanced to the west, and then said: "You must not be careless."

The Yuwen family's house in Luoyang is located in the most prosperous and lively Dongshi, and not far to the west is Ziwei Palace, which is the imperial palace built by Chu Yangying in the eastern capital.

Shang Ruyi understood immediately, and said softly, "Father, please rest assured."

Yu Wenyuan said again: "You are still young, if you can't make up your mind about major matters, you should consult with your elders."

"Yes."

It seems that he is the most worried about this daughter-in-law, and he is also the most worried. After finally explaining, he sighed softly, turned around and got into the carriage. Soon, a group of people left Yuwen Mansion and slowly disappeared into the morning light. .

As soon as Yu Wenyuan's men and horses disappeared, Yu Wencheng, who had been standing aside sullenly, jumped up immediately: "Oh, dad is gone!"

Yu Wenye immediately frowned and looked back at him: "Father is gone, I'm still here, don't think you can be lazy. Hurry back and have breakfast and go to school!"

"Second Brother, Dad finally left, just let me play for a day."

"No, go!"

Yu Wencheng probably also knew that he was stern and selfless, so he could only mutter that he was taken back by a few servant girls. Yu Wenye watched his back disappear into the mansion, and then turned around.

As soon as he turned around, he met a pair of gentle and quiet eyes beside him.

Shang Ruyi said, "Are you going to do some business today?"

Yu Wenye gave a blunt "hmm".

At this time, Mu Xian and the others had already led the horse over, Yu Wenye walked down the steps and got on the horse, and left Yuwen Mansion with the people, Shang Ruyi stood at the door the whole time, watching his back disappear at the end of the long street , When he turned his head again, he saw the empty gate of the mansion and the quieter yard behind him, and he couldn't help but feel dazed for a while.

In fact, Yu Wenyuan's departure didn't have much impact on her life. Although Yu Wenyuan was a nobleman, the rules of the family were not very strict. She is much more free than the daughters-in-law in most powerful families, so now that Yu Wenyuan has left, she feels too free and at a loss.

However, extremes must be reversed.

When she was staying at home and doing nothing, the porter outside suddenly came to report-someone from the palace!

When Shang Ruyi heard it, she was so frightened that she immediately jumped up.

Tushe'er, who was by her side, was also taken aback, and stammered, "Miss, why is there someone in the palace again? Now that the Duke is not here, and my uncle is out, what should I do?"

Although it was a bit sudden, Shang Ruyi still collected her mind and hurriedly said, "Go out first, and then talk after meeting someone."

So, he straightened his clothes immediately and hurried to the hall.

As soon as he entered, he saw a tall, thin, and younger internal servant standing inside with his hands in his hands. Shang Ruyi walked over and said hurriedly, "Grandpa."

When the servant saw Shang Ruyi, he greeted him with a smile on his face: "Ma'am, our family is being polite."

Shang Ruyi was slightly taken aback, but only then remembered that Guan Yunmu had passed away, and to outsiders, she could already be called "Mrs. Yuwen".

She made up her mind, hurriedly returned the gift, and asked him to sit down and drink tea, but the servant refused and said with a smile: "Our family came with the words of the empress, so there will be no delay. Madam, the empress has been with the madam since Yanmen County. I miss it very much, and I want to invite Madam into the palace to have a talk, I wonder if Madam would like to?"

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath.

It was only then that she remembered that Yu Wenyuan had mentioned a few days ago that the queen had sent someone to tell him when he was about to leave the palace after his morning court, that he wanted to let him enter the palace to talk to her. Unexpectedly, the order came so quickly. coming.

Moreover, who dares to say that he is unwilling to be summoned by the Queen?
Although Shang Ruyi felt a little guilty, she still smiled immediately: "It's my blessing to be favored by your mother. It's just that I haven't had time to dress up—"

The maid said with a smile: "Madam is graceful and luxurious, and ordinary clothes are already very decent."

"..."

It seems that hiding is impossible, and there is no time to prepare for her.

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath, then said with a smile: "Then, please ask the father-in-law to lead the way."

The servant immediately raised his hand: "Madam, please."

So, Shang Ruyi only took Tusheer and walked out together with the servant, only to find that there was already a gorgeously decorated carriage waiting outside. Judging by the shape, it was indeed a carriage in the palace, so she took Tusheer together. After getting into the carriage, soon, the servant also got on the horse beside him, and left Yuwen Mansion together with the carriage.

All the way to the west, after walking a few streets, gradually, the surrounding became quieter and quieter.

Finally, the carriage stopped in front of a tall palace gate.

But this is not the main entrance of Ziwei Palace, but the Xuanren Gate on the east side.The servant said with a smile: "Ma'am, once you enter the palace gate, you can no longer take a car. Madam must be tired. Also, the people who follow can only follow here."

Shang Ruyi hurriedly said: "This is the rule."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and told Tusheer to stay here and wait, and then followed the servant to continue walking in.

Entering the palace gate, it seemed that the surroundings were surrounded by tall palace walls, and the view was not wide, but the road under their feet was farther and longer than the avenue in Fangshi outside. They walked all the way in and passed through a spacious square , through another door.

In front of him, a huge palace appeared.

The palace is several feet high from the bottom, and there are no side halls or side halls around, but it is heavily guarded, almost three steps, one post, five steps, and one sentry post, and countless little eunuchs are running back and forth with their heads down. .

The servant said, "This is Zuozang Palace."

Shang Ruyi nodded cautiously and did not answer the words.

She had vaguely heard that the Zuozang Palace is the treasury of the Daye Dynasty, so it is naturally much more important than other palaces, and she didn't ask much about such a sensitive place, and she didn't even take a look at it, just followed with her head down. The servant continued to move forward.

After passing Zuozang Palace, the road ahead seems to be longer.

The servant said with a smile: "Ma'am, be more patient. Let's go around the Anning Gate now. After passing the Anning Gate, we will arrive at the East Palace."

Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "Yes."

This section of the road is longer than the previous road. The towering palace walls on both sides are like two rows of tall and mighty guards. They are expressionless and stare at them with stern eyes. It can't cover up the echoes of the footsteps in the palace wall, which is even more frightening.

Finally, a palace gate appeared in front of him, it was the Anning Gate.

When the servant was about to lead her through the palace gate, Shang Ruyi suddenly raised her head and saw a bigger and more majestic palace gate hundreds of steps ahead, she couldn't help asking : "Eunuch, where is—"

The servant also took a look and said with a smile, "That's Xuanwumen."

"Xuanwu... door?"

"Yes,"

The servant officer led her inside and said with a smile: "Madam, I don't know if you have been to Daxing City. This Ziwei Palace was built by Your Majesty according to the Daxing Palace in Xijing Daxing City. All the gates of the palace are similar to Xijing City. It’s the same as the Imperial Palace—only this Xuanwu Gate, the Xuanwu Gate of Daxing Palace is much larger and more powerful than this one. When Madam has a chance to visit Xijing, she will know.”

Shang Ruyi was a little confused in his mind, and after a long while, he replied in a low voice: "Yes."

The servant looked at her in a daze, but when she entered the palace and was shocked by the sight, he didn't say any more, and led her all the way forward, and after a while, he arrived outside the queen's palace.

This palace is very large, although it is not towering and tall, it exudes a peaceful atmosphere.

Several doors and windows were closed tightly, only the door in the middle was slightly ajar, as if it had been waiting for her arrival, the servant led Shang Ruyi over, reported inside, and immediately, two people came out. A young and beautiful court lady politely led Shang Ruyi in.

As soon as he entered the door, there was a burst of warm fragrance immediately, and the warm warmth made Shang Ruyi feel relieved.

Looking up, the palace in front of me is exquisite and spacious. A huge screen divides the palace into two rooms, the inside and the outside. The screen is made of solid wood, so you can't see what's going on inside. But generally speaking, the palace is for sleeping inside and outside. Naturally, one cannot enter the inner room at will; however, in the outer room of the palace, there are several couches, as well as various incense burners and braziers and exquisite lampstands, which are obviously used by the queen to see the ministers.

And sitting directly above, wearing brocade clothes and dignified appearance, is none other than Empress Jiang!

Shang Ruyi hurriedly stepped forward to bow and salute: "My wife pays homage to the empress!"
