married daughter

Chapter 401 Chapter 512~513 Old Stubborn

Ruan Yunting looked at Han Chuyun's leaving back in a daze, wondering how this matter involved Emperor Rougong.Although the Lu family had motives to do it, such blatant poisoning is not their family style. It is not impossible to avenge Lu Wenshan, but they obviously have many good ways to hide their traces, why did they choose the last one? The direct kind?Lu Guogong is very scheming, and he is not such a reckless person.

Could it be that Lu Guifei did it in private?The bond between their siblings is so deep that Mrs. Lu would not hesitate to sacrifice herself?If Lu's relationship with Lu Wenshan is as close as she is with Brother Lan, it is very possible.Lu's ability to stand against Xu Ningmeng for so many years is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp. Unless she can't bear it because of the relationship between her siblings, Ruan Yunting really doesn't believe that she will do such a miscalculation.

The more Ruan Yunting thought about it, the more she felt strange. When she stood up, her sleeves inadvertently swept off the blue and white porcelain tureen, and it fell on the ground with a loud noise, which made her jump and her heart pounded.

"Princess, what's the matter?" Chanjuan rushed in, seeing that Ruan Yunting was safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's nothing, I accidentally dropped a teacup."

"Amitabha, smashing a tea bowl is nothing, as long as you are not hurt." Chanjuan ordered the little girl to come in and clean up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and then made a new pot of tea and brought it in.

Seeing Ruan Yunting's complexion, she asked worriedly: "Is the princess tired? Do you want a servant to serve you back to the house for a rest?"

Ruan Yunting shook her head, "No need, I'll wait for Lan Zhou to come back. Do whatever you need to do."

Chanjuan bowed obediently and retreated, but didn't go far away, she just guarded under the verandah, waiting for orders at any time.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Yunting waited for a long time and did not see Jun Lanzhou coming back first, but she waited for Prince Duan and Ruan Yunlan to come back first.

She was reading the story book with great interest when she heard the voice of a girl saluting and greeting Prince Duan from outside.Immediately the lattice fan was pushed open, Prince Duan entered the door with his hands behind his back, strode around the screen and stood in front of the inner room door: "Ting'er."

Ruan Yunting put down her storybook, stood up and saluted respectfully, maintaining the neither humble nor overbearing attitude of the past few days, without raising her eyelids.

Prince Duan was so angry that he casually pulled the hand and sat down, "I just went to the palace to meet the Emperor of Liang Kingdom, and I have already resigned and left."

Ruan Yunting froze for a moment, so fast? !

Seeing that she had no expression, Prince Duan became more and more angry, and said angrily: "I'm leaving, it's more of your heart! To save me from being cold-eyed when I see you all day, and kissing Qionghua and Brother Lan more than me! "

Ruan Yunting pursed her lips and did not speak.During these days, she had a cold war with Prince Duan, and she did treat him like this.She was angry, but she couldn't ask an ancient person to have the same thoughts as her modern person, let alone distort a father's mind for his children.Prince Duan may be wrong, but he is her body's father after all.She has been reborn for so long, and she has already regarded herself as Ruan Yunting.

When she was thinking wildly, she frowned slightly. Seeing that Prince Duan still cared about her, he felt a little better, and said, "Okay, I didn't come to see you today to provoke you. I'm asking you for my father. You are really serious." Do you understand the foreign languages ​​spoken in Dayi Kingdom?"

"Why did you suddenly ask this?" Ruan Yunting raised her head suddenly.

"You first answer whether I understand or not."

Ruan Yunting had already guessed what the emperor said to Prince Duan in the blink of an eye.

"I do know a little bit, it was taught to me by my mother before, not much."

"Oh?" Prince Duan said: "You said that your mother understands, but I believe it. She is a strange woman, and she is also a talented woman. It is not unusual for her to know foreign languages. But I asked Brother Lan, and he said your mother I only taught you some of the simplest ones, which he has long forgotten. But you seem to be able to understand the language of foreigners, and you can also understand their writing. You also play that harpsichord very well. My father really wants it Know who you learned these skills from."

A thin layer of sweat broke out on Ruan Yunting's forehead, how would she explain it?Prince Duan is a cautious person, and he pays attention to the truth and evidence in everything. It is not acceptable to just say something and perfunctory. Any word she says now, any person she mentions will become Prince Duan's investigation. Object.She can't just drag people into it.But if not, would she still say that she came from time travel?

The old god Prince Duan raised his voice to order people to serve tea, instead of continuing to question Ruan Yunting, he sipped tea leisurely.

He sat there, paying attention to Li Mingming's tea, not looking at her, but Ruan Yunting felt a sense of oppression.Perhaps this is the habit of those who have been in power for a long time.She couldn't think of a suitable answer, so she could only keep silent. When she didn't hear Prince Duan's words, she stood quietly aside.

Prince Duan's tea had been stored twice, and before Ruan Yunting's answer, he asked displeasedly: "Why, do you really plan not to talk to your father for the rest of your life?"

Obviously, her silence was understood by Prince Duan as she was going to continue the cold war with him.

Then continue to misunderstand, anyway, he won't be really angry with her for long, it's better than being speechless.

Ruan Yunting made up her mind and relaxed, so she sat down on the carved arhat bed facing the window.Pick up the book and continue reading.

When she saw Jun Zhaoying, she ignored her, and Prince Duan was already angry, but now he doesn't listen to his words, no matter how patient Prince Duan is, he couldn't hold back his anger, and threw the teacup on the desk On the table, the tea was splashed all over the table, and the ceramic lid fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Ruan Yunting really acted helplessly this time, originally she didn't want to provoke him, so she felt guilty, she stood up and bowed her head and said, "Father, calm down."

"You still know that I'm your father!?" Prince Duan pointed at Ruan Yunting, obviously full of anger, wishing to slap her hard to make her reflect, but after the slap last time, she looked beautiful Her little face was swollen, and the corners of her mouth were also bruised. When Shui Qiuxin saw him, it was as if he had met an enemy, as if he had abused Ling Yue's daughter.Thinking of Ruan Yunting's pitiful appearance, and her poor health, he would not be able to beat someone.Flicking the sleeves of his robe and turning his back, his chest heaved violently because of his shortness of breath due to anger.

Ruan Yunting said: "Of course I know that you are my father, forget it, you and I don't want to quarrel over that matter anymore, you will ask, did the emperor of Daliang talk to you?"

Prince Duan also didn't want the relationship with Ruan Yunting to become more rigid. He had never made concessions to others in his life, but now he was subdued by his daughter, and he didn't know whether his face was still there.Who made her be his only precious daughter, and she was so opposite to Ling Yue, she was [-]% similar in appearance, and even more similar in charm...

As soon as Prince Duan thinks of his dead wife, his heart softens half the time. He is thinking that Ruan Yunting, as the eldest sister, has not been easy living in such a wealthy family as the Xu family with Ruan Yunting for so many years. He was very much like him and Ling Yue, so his anger dissipated, and he said truthfully: "I went to the palace today, and Emperor Liang praised you very much, especially when he mentioned that you are good at foreign language and can communicate with people in Dayi Kingdom. .”

"What did the father say at the time?"

"How do you say that? I didn't even know you understood these things, but you don't know as much as an outsider. Of course I'm surprised, but it's nothing more than an honor."

Ruan Yunting breathed a sigh of relief, "That's okay."

"Why?" Prince Duan realized that something was unusual.

Ruan Yunting sneered: "I'm afraid that's not what the emperor wants to say. He's testing you."

"Try?"

"Exactly." Ruan Yunting mused, and told her counterpart, Prince Duan, about the search for the code engraved on the stone gate of the treasure, and finally said: "This matter is a secret of Daliang Guo. You have said in detail that the emperor is testing you now because he is afraid that the secret will be exposed. That’s why he wants to test your tone and see your reaction along the way. If your performance is half wrong, he will be more suspicious, which may bring infinite troubles. future trouble."

Prince Duan nodded and thought for a long time before saying: "I've heard a little bit about this matter, and now I know the details from you. No wonder that old boy smiled so sinisterly. Presumably he was afraid that we, Xiwu, would be tempted by the tomb of Empress Xiuyan Right. Isn’t there no treasure there, why is he nervous.”

Ruan Yunting said: "Even if there is no gold, silver and jewels, the ancestors of Liang's royal family are buried there, so there is some tension." Saying this, Ruan Yunting thought of the time when the emperor returned to Liangcheng from the tomb. She began to have a crush on her, and then there were rumors that the emperor wanted to marry Xiwu and accept her as his concubine.The emperor also asked her to go to the palace to meet Joshua and Jager, and asked her to appraise the telescope...

All kinds of things were connected in series, and her long-standing doubts and conjectures were almost confirmed.

"It seems that the emperor really doubts me." Ruan Yunting said seriously.

Prince Duan said: "You little girl, what he suspects is that you can't keep a secret. Now that he has tested me, he should be relieved."

What he suspected was not only this, but also why he knew the password on the stone gate, what's more, the emperor was still thinking about the weapons recorded in the miscellaneous books of unofficial history!It's really unsatisfactory!It seems that the emperor not only wants to unify the north and the south, he also wants to unify the world!

However, his wish is difficult to achieve...  

"Ting'er, why didn't you tell your father these words before?"

Ruan Yunting regained her senses and said: "I didn't say it before, because I thought that if you found out, you might cause trouble. Now I say it because the trouble has already taken the initiative to find you. It's better to let you know the reason. It’s good for you to be mentally prepared, think about countermeasures, and don’t be kept in the dark.” When Ruan Yunting said this, her tone became sad, “It’s not like me, what Fu’e, what Princess Zhaoyang, or even It was the Emperor's pervert who hit me, and I was caught off guard."

Upon hearing the words, Prince Duan coughed uncomfortably, stood up and said, "In that case, you should rest earlier."

Ruan Yunting got up and chased for a few steps, seeing that Prince Duan was about to bypass the screen, she said, "Father."

During these days, when Ruan Yunting met Prince Duan, although she saluted as usual and addressed her as usual, this was the first time she called out from the bottom of her heart, with sincere affection, which made Prince Duan's heart as sweet as honey.

"What's the matter?" Prince Duan didn't turn around, a smile had already crept onto his cheeks.

Ruan Yunting hesitated and said: "Father, can you tell me the truth, my uncle, do you intend to betroth me to Emperor Liang?"

This is the first time that Ruan Yunting asked Prince Duan so calmly since the incident happened.

In fact, Ruan Yunting already knew the answer in her heart.However, Prince Duan's answer now involves her fate.

Prince Duan is a man of his own accord.If he can completely speak from her perspective now, it means that he will definitely fight for her.Although she was very unwilling to let Prince Duan stand against the Emperor of Xiwu Kingdom for her marriage, after all, the matter between Prince Yu and the Emperor of Daliang Kingdom was already a bloody lesson.But she still worries about her future.If the emperor of Xiwu Kingdom issued an imperial edict, could she really run away regardless of her family?She and Lan Zhou can escape, and the people who will bear all the consequences at that time are the father and Brother Lan.

Therefore, she must ensure that all these tragedies are prevented before they happen.

Prince Duan looked at her fixedly, and asked without answering: "Ting'er, in your mind, is your father really a person who can ignore the happiness of his children for his own selfishness?"

"I didn't say that." Ruan Yunting curled her lips, "But the reality is in front of you. You don't choose a better candidate, but you plan to marry me to an arrogant and ignorant second-generation ancestor. After a while, it started again. They plan to sell me to the Emperor of Liang for a good price. Do you still blame me? I blame you even more!"

"The more you say it, the more outrageous it is." Prince Duan became amused, "Everyone says you are sensible, but I think you are just a wayward little girl! Why, your father's calculations for you are all wrong? What do you think is wrong with Fu'e? Is his family background not good enough for you or his character not good enough for you? Do you think he is the second generation ancestor? Could it be that his identity cannot be disclosed like Jun Lanzhou, or is it you who were born of incest between siblings? Beloved!?"

"Lan Zhou was not born of incest!"

"Who believes!"

Ruan Yunting and Prince Duan glared at each other angrily, their eyes seemed to be able to spew fire.Just now, there was some relaxation in the atmosphere, and it became tense again.

Prince Duan scolded: "Unfilial daughter, let me tell you! Our Lei family has never had such an arrogant and free daughter like you. Don't even think about the matter with Lan Zhou! You don't like Fu E? Okay, I Then I will arrange for you a hero next to you, and I will definitely convince you!"

Ruan Yunting's face turned pale with anger, and her voice trembled: "First of all, my surname is Ruan! Secondly, you don't want to separate Lan Zhou and me! Now that you are playing the role of batting a mandarin duck, don't you think about the time when you and my mother, How did you make an oath of eternal love!! You can’t put yourself in your shoes and think about how you would feel if someone stopped you like this!”

"Don't compare me with Lan Zhou! He was born of incest, how can he compare with me!"

"I told you that Lan Zhou was not born of incest!"

"Then show me the evidence!"

Ruan Yunting was left speechless by this question, and after a while she muttered: "Old stubborn."
