Divine Doctor's Daughter: The Imperial Concubine

Chapter 113 Identity Issues
Li Xia was busy with the embroidery work in his hands, and suddenly a shadow fell in front of his eyes, so he raised his head in doubt, looked at Mo Yan who was standing in front of him, hesitant to speak, and said puzzledly: "Why are you here? Miss Do you have any orders?"

"No." Mo Yan looked at Li Xia in a daze, and only after a while did he utter two words.

Li Xia frowned even tighter, looked around, and found no one, then continued to ask: "Then what are you doing out? It's not good for people to see."

However, Mo Yan didn't care about her problem. Although his internal strength was not as good as Mu Ziyuan's, it was similar to Chu Ruoying's, or even slightly better. He could naturally sense whether there was anyone around.

Seeing that Mo Yan didn't answer his own question, Li Xia's doubts deepened. After thinking for a while, he stood up abruptly, and said in a panic, "Could it be that something happened to Prince Jin?"

"No." Li Xia stood up abruptly, which shocked Mo Yan. Looking at the woman who was only a foot away from him, Mo Yan could even feel her urgent breathing, his ears turned red suddenly, and said in a hoarse voice .

Then Li Xia bit his lip and sat down again, feeling that this person was really inexplicable, so he didn't speak again.

The atmosphere of silence wrapped the two of them tightly, and the sound of each other's breathing could be heard quietly in the air, as well as the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves. Mo Yan looked down at the delicate skin of the woman beside him, With a heartbeat, he interrupted the silence, "Are you making a sachet?"

Li Xia was taken aback when he heard the words, and nodded foolishly, not understanding why Mo Yan said such a sentence suddenly.

"Make me a sachet, embroidered with green bamboo." Mo Yan said very quickly, his face was also stained red.

"Ah?" Li Xia was completely stunned, but when he looked up, he saw Mo Yan's red ears. Then he noticed that the color in his eyes was a little different. Before Li Xia could figure it out, Mo Yan grabbed Li Xia's hand , stuffed something into her palm, and then disappeared in a flash, leaving only a word in the air that could not be refused, "It must be done!"

Li Xia stared blankly at the hairpin carved into jasmine flowers from glazed jade in his hand, and after a while he seemed to come back to his senses, sitting there with pink cheeks.

In the Xiao Kingdom, if a woman makes a sachet or a handkerchief and gives it to others, and if a man accepts the hairpin as a gift, it will be regarded as a private life. Now Mo Yan is saying that he likes him.
Here, Li Xia was still thinking foolishly, and Chu Ruoying, who was in the room, had already come out, looked at the maid beside her sitting in front of the door with a face of shyness, couldn't help raising her eyebrows, and saw the hairpin in Li Xia's hand. , it suddenly dawned on me, and said softly: "What are you thinking about?"

"I was wondering if Mo Yan meant that." Li Xia stared blankly at the hairpin in his hand, and said the words without thinking.

"What do you mean?" Chu Ruoying continued to ask, seeing that she hadn't recovered yet, and she was more teasing.

"He just gave me the hairpin, does he like me?" Li Xia asked in a daze with confusion in his eyes.

Chu Ruoying's eyes were full of teasing, and she said softly, "What do you think?"

"My miss!" Li Xia was about to continue, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, turned around and saw Chu Ruoying behind her, stood up in shock, and did not dare to look at Chu Ruoying.

But Chu Ruoying looked at the hairpin in her hand, and said jokingly: "When I went to Zhengcheng before, the matchmaker got three glass jade hairpins from somewhere, one was engraved with orchids, I kept it, and the other One is engraved with peonies, and I left it for the matchmaker, but the other one is engraved with jasmine, but Mo Yan wants to leave."

Li Xia's face became more and more red, and he said in a panic: "Miss, this is not like that, me, me."

"Okay." Seeing this, Chu Ruoying stopped teasing her, and said seriously: "Li Xia, you grew up with me, and I didn't treat you like a maid. I wanted to find a good marriage for you in the future. Now if you have something you like, I won't stop it."

Li Xia's eyes were slightly red, he nodded and said: "I, this servant knows."

Chu Ruoying nodded, seeing that Li Xia had calmed down, she started to talk about business, "Li Xia, send someone to take a good look at Sheng Junior Court, I don't think today's matter will be so simple, a maid can't do anything Fell against me, there must be another trick.”

Li Xia also became serious when he heard the words, and nodded seriously.

Once the backyard of the Chu Mansion became lively, it was difficult to calm down. Here, Sun Nanny helped Yan Ruwei back to her own yard, and then dismissed the servants in the house.

Yan Ru sat on the chair with a slightly cold face, she didn't have the pitiful look when she just came back, "That idiot Chu Xiner didn't even find out that the hairpin is fake!"

Grandma Sun also gritted her teeth and stood aside, saying harshly, "Miss, that girl is really hard to deal with."

Yan Ru gave a cold snort, her eyes full of deep thought, and said in a deep voice: "Of course it's not easy to deal with, otherwise the lord wouldn't suddenly let me go in front of everyone and let me deal with her."

"I failed this time, what's the next step?" Nanny Sun asked in a low voice.

Yan Ruwei thought for a while, then said in a deep voice, "No, after this incident, Chu Ruoying will definitely be on guard, so let's not act rashly."

"Miss is right." Nanny Sun also lowered her head and thought about it carefully, and said in agreement.

Yan Ruwei closed her eyes silently, and opened them slowly after a long time, with a fierce light in her eyes, and said coldly: "After a few days, I want to see what else Chu Ruoying can do ?”

"Miss is very smart, there will be absolutely no problem." Although Sun Nanny didn't know what method Yan Ruwei had come up with, there was a flattering expression on her face.

No matter what thoughts everyone in the backyard of the Chu Mansion had, after what happened to Zhen'er today, Chu Lie didn't set foot in any yard for five days in a row, and just rested by himself.

Chu Xin'er was confined for another three months and lost her temper in the Xinxiang Building. In the end, she realized that no one came to see her, so she turned off the fire and stayed quietly in the courtyard.

Chu Ruoying was even more happy and quiet, staying in the house all day, either practicing calligraphy, or embroidering Mu Ziyuan's coat and underwear according to the Xiao country's custom, quietly waiting for the day of the big wedding.

"Miss, the general is here." Chu Ruoying was embroidering in the house when she heard Gu Yu's voice outside the door and stopped.

"I met my father." Chu Ruoying stood up and saluted politely and distantly.

Chu Lie glanced at her silently, and then walked to a chair on the side and sat down, and the maids in the courtyard also brought tea in due course.

"Is Ying'er's dowry ready?" Chu Lie took a sip of tea, looked at Chu Ruoying for a while, but never saw Chu Ruoying speak, knowing that if she didn't speak, Chu Ruoying probably wouldn't. Paying attention to him, he stopped hesitating and asked softly.

Chu Ruoying nodded lightly, "I took back my mother's dowry when Ye Shi was still alive, and now my aunt is helping to take care of it, and adding some more will be enough."

Chu Lie froze immediately when he heard this, thinking that Chu Ruoying was saying that he had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father, and even the dowry had to be prepared by the Gu family.

"Don't worry about adding makeup, my father will do it for you." There was a hint of displeasure in Chu Lie's eyes, thinking that if this matter got out, it would definitely be detrimental to his future.

"Thank you, father." Chu Ruoying didn't refuse, and calmly agreed.

After Chu Ruoying finished that sentence, she fell silent again. Chu Lie looked at the steaming tea, and through the dense mist, he suddenly realized that he had never seen through the daughter in front of him.

"Father came today because I have something to discuss with you." Seeing the time passing by bit by bit, Chu Lie couldn't help but speak again.

A sarcasm flashed across Chu Ruoying's eyes, it was really ridiculous to say that, her biological father didn't treat her as a daughter, and the visit was just something to talk about.

"Father has something to say, but I can't afford to discuss it." Chu Ruoying raised her eyes slightly, her eyes were flat, and the smile on her lips was frighteningly indifferent.

Chu Lie coughed lightly, took another sip of tea, and said slowly: "Last time you mentioned the matter of Ruwei's identity, as a father, you want to give her the title of equal wife, what do you think?"

"Ruwei is tolerant and magnanimous. With this status, she can also help you take care of the dowry, and can help you a lot when you get married."

Chu Lie spoke intermittently, trying to persuade her, but Chu Ruoying listened silently with her head down, she couldn't help sneering in her heart, and said to herself: What do I think, of course I don't want to!Very tolerant?It's really a knife in the face of beauty. I thought that although Chu Lie was confused, he could see through people's hearts. I didn't expect that now he would trust Yan Ruwei so easily.

"If father likes it, it's just in the name of an equal wife. Why discuss it with me? After all, Ying'er will get married soon. After marrying, she will follow her husband, and Ying'er can't control the affairs of the house. As for the dowry and marriage, she still doesn't care. Please trouble Miss Yan, without a clean identity, without three matchmakers and nine hires, she became a flat wife, Yinger really dare not use it, and can't afford it, as for her father, you should think about it carefully." Chu Ruoying lowered her eyes. After taking a sip of tea, he continued: "Father is not a person without an official position, and he is deeply trusted by the emperor. The previous wife was a woman from the Ye family, and her family was right, and she had no influence on the court. Now, marrying such a The woman is an equal wife, let alone whether Yushi will be dissatisfied with his father's actions, but the relationship between the Ye family and the Chu family may be worse than before. The most serious thing is that if the emperor feels that his father is difficult Controlling, huh. It’s really more worth the loss than the gain.”

Chu Lie's presence in the court can naturally see these things clearly, but he originally thought that it would be good to reach a consensus in the mansion on this matter. If Chu Ruoying could accept it, this matter would be easier, but he never thought that Chu Ruoying would make this matter The matter was directly raised to the bright side, instead of thinking about just doing superficial work.
