Noble First Daughter-in-law

Ever since she met Empress Jiang in Yanmen County for the first time, she had been worrying about her empress's attitude towards Yu Wenye and Princess Xinyue, and what she would think of herself; Judging from her speech and attitude towards herself, she doesn't seem to have much hostility towards herself who ruined her daughter's marriage.

But at the same time, she doesn't seem to object to her daughter continuing to associate with the married Yu Wenye.

This is very strange.

Yu Wenye is already married, and with Chu Ruoyan's status as a princess, let alone avoiding suspicion, even if the two continue to develop, this relationship will be very embarrassing, and Chu Ruoyan will be even more embarrassing.

Because, a three-year-old child knows that it is impossible for a princess to be a concubine.

Are they going to treat themselves—?
This thought was suppressed by Shang Ruyi himself as soon as it came to him, not because his idea was redundant, but because this way of doing it was redundant.If the queen really did not hesitate to get rid of Yu Wenye's first wife to pave the way for her daughter's feelings, then half a year ago, before they got married, they could have used this thunderbolt method, and there was no need for Princess Xinyue to fall into such an embarrassing situation.

Therefore, what she is doing now is something Shang Ruyi can't see through no matter what.

Just when Shang Ruyi's mind was entangled with countless thoughts, Empress Jiang seemed to miss something again, and said quietly: "Speaking of which, the Duke's wife has passed away, and this palace should also visit, but it's a pity this time There are too many things in the palace when I come back from northern Xinjiang, I can't get away for a while."

Shang Ruyi hurriedly comforted her, "Your Majesty is kind, and Ruyi's mother-in-law will be grateful too."

Empress Jiang smiled and nodded.

Chu Ruoyan on the side blinked her big eyes and said softly: "The queen mother can tell the second brother to meet them in the palace next time."

Upon hearing this, Empress Jiang immediately shook her head, gave her a reproachful look, and said, "Do you think it's the same as when you were a child, you can let him enter the palace at any time?"

Shang Ruyi was taken aback when he heard the words: "Second—he, did he often enter the palace when he was a child?"

Chu Ruoyan immediately rushed to say: "Yes, the second brother often went to the palace to play with me when he was a child, and it was the same in Daxing City. Father still left someone to take care of him."

While they were talking, Chu Chengfei's laughing voice kept coming from outside. It was he who ran around and attracted several court ladies and eunuchs to chase him. Everyone was sweating profusely, but he was having a great time.

Looking at this scene, a hint of nostalgia appeared in Empress Jiang's gentle eyes, and said with a smile: "Feng Chen was also a naughty child when he was young, just like Fei Er, jumping up and down in this palace, The older eunuchs can't keep up with him. Thanks to him, Ruo Yan is not so lonely."

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but look out after hearing the words.

Was that cold and indifferent Yu Wenye who could hardly smile at her, who was able to shoot the Turkic Khan among thousands of troops and defeat a hundred thousand troops, was he like this when he was a child?

What kind of experience made him become what he is now?
No one told her the answer, only Empress Jiang sighed and said, "It's just that later, when they got older, they couldn't be like when they were young—he hasn't been in the palace for many years."

"..."

Shang Ruyi was a little dazed for a moment.

This, she didn't know.

No wonder Yu Wenye and the princess have such a good relationship. They grew up together as childhood sweethearts. The empress probably knew his character well, so they decided on their marriage. It's a pity that she——

Just as she felt guilty, she was immediately disturbed by another thought.

Why did Empress Jiang say these words to herself?

Could it be that she really didn't mind her daughter continuing with Yu Wenye who was already married, and she wanted to let herself accept all of this?
Shang Ruyi shook her head lightly, she felt that she was a bit of a villain.But if that wasn't the case, she really couldn't explain what other thoughts the dignified empress had when she said these words to herself.
Although her mind was in a mess, she didn't show anything on her face, she just talked and laughed with the queen and princess.

Gradually, time passed.

Waiting to look at the sky outside, it was already dark, and Empress Jiang and Princess Xinyue chatted with her for so long, they actually just chatted about some gossip, and even talked about the delicious snacks in the palace. Come to think of it, the Empress It was really just calling her into the palace to talk once, and there was no other deeper meaning.

So, Shang Ruyi stood up and said, "I've bothered the empress and the princess for so long, it's time for Ruyi to go back."

Empress Jiang said: "Come into the palace when you are free, and talk to me."

"Yes."

"Ruoyan, send Madam Yuwen off on behalf of the palace."

Shang Ruyi was about to refuse, but Chu Ruoyan had already got up and walked to her side, as if she wanted to tell her something, she thought about it, then apologized, and walked out together with Chu Ruoyan.

As soon as I walked outside the main hall, I heard the princess say softly: "Madam, I have something, I want Madam to pass it on to my second brother."

"..."

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart.

Her Royal Highness, I don't know whether she is naive or frank, or if she is really naive to the point of frankness.

She turned around with a smile and said, "Your Highness has something, please just ask."

There were two young court ladies standing outside the main hall, obviously they had just followed the princess. Chu Ruoyan waved her hand, and one of them immediately brought over a small brocade box. Chu Ruoyan handed the brocade box to the merchant. On Ruyi's hand, she said softly, "Madam, please pass this on your behalf."

"This is--"

"Here is the prescription I found everywhere."

"prescription?!"

If it was anything else, even if it was a token of love between two people, Shang Ruyi would have calmly accepted it before handing it over, and would never say a single word, but the word "prescription" startled her.

Yu Wenye actually asked the princess for a prescription. Could it be that he is sick?
Shang Ruyi hurriedly said: "Your Highness, Er——Yuwen, Feng Chen, what's wrong with him?"

Seeing that she was speaking incoherently, as if deliberately avoiding the same address as herself, Chu Ruoyan pursed her bright red lips and said softly: "Ma'am, I know you have always called him second brother, you don't have to be so shy. Me, I don't mind..."

"..."

As soon as these words came out, Shang Ruyi was dazed for a while.

Speaking of it, it was her who should care about it, but she avoided it, but the princess didn't mind, so I really couldn't tell which of the two of them should avoid it and who should care.

How can it be so confusing?

Shang Ruyi gave a wry smile, and said softly, "Thank you, Your Highness. Then, what is your Highness's prescription for him? Second brother, does he have any illnesses? Why don't I know?"

Chu Ruoyan waved her hands and said, "Ma'am, don't worry, it's not a serious illness."

"That is--"

"It's his old problem, cramps in his legs."
