Remnant King's Concubine

Chapter 26
Dongyue couldn't help but give her a white look: "The prince will come tonight!"

"This..." Xun'er glanced at Liang Ruo who was sitting by the window, silently looking for the best clothes, but couldn't help asking Dongyue quietly, "Will you really come?"

"The empress dowager has issued a decree, can you not come?" Dongyue said here, and couldn't help laughing, "It's really thanks to Princess Fang! By the way, you have been there all the time, how did Princess Fang say that? of?"

"It's not the fourth princess." Xun'er curled her lips, "I'm stupid, and I don't know what everyone is talking about. Anyway, I think the fourth princess is either disrespectful, or has enmity with the prince or Princess Fang. Looking for trouble on purpose!"

Ji Liangruo smiled, but said nothing.She rested her chin with one hand, stroked her lips with her fingers, recalled the kiss in the afternoon, no matter how she told herself that everything was impossible, there was still an inexplicable throbbing in her heart.

That kiss came suddenly and ended suddenly.He never said a word, did not express anything.Kissed and kissed, like the morning after the wedding, she woke up in his arms, and he acted as if nothing had happened.

That night, whether Qin Yunyao didn't come, although she expected it, she felt a little disappointed in her heart.

She waited all night and went to bed almost at dawn.She knew that he was not easy to compromise, and she didn't want to wait at first, but before he came after bedtime, she was going to sleep.It was Dongyue who didn't believe it. She didn't believe that someone would go against the Queen Mother's edict, so she had to wait, and found reasons for him in every possible way, saying that he "may come soon", "maybe finished reading", "maybe on the way"... …

She laughed secretly in her heart, Dongyue didn't understand many things after all.

"My lord... how can he resist the decree?"

Ji Liangruo slept until noon, and Dongyue combed her hair while wondering why.

She said slowly: "If you ask him, he will definitely say: half a year is a long time, don't rush for a while. The important thing is that the decree is for me, not for him. The position of my princess has nothing to do with him , The princess can be someone else instead of me."

"But you are different!" Dongyue pressed her shoulders and lowered her voice, "If it wasn't for you, how would the queen mother explain?"

Ji Liangruo sighed weakly: "This is our business, it has nothing to do with him! Are you going to tell him to make him sympathize with me and you, and leave us here to monitor him?"

"Princess, please keep your voice down!" Dongyue didn't know why she suddenly became angry, and hurriedly stopped her.

"Anyway, I have my own idea about this matter, you don't have to ask questions, it makes me upset!"

Dongyue was suffocated and dared not speak.

After lunch, Eunuch Wang came over to greet Qin Yunyao, and asked Qin Yunyao during the conversation: "Last night... the prince didn't seem to come over? This is not a palace, why do the prince and the princess sleep in separate rooms? If it's the concubine Ji, it's fine. , they have no right to live in a house by themselves, but the princess is the official wife—"

"Elder-in-law's words are wrong." Ji Liangruo interrupted him, "There are many big families in the folk, and their wives don't live with the master. They all have their own rooms or courtyards. The house and the concubine's room all have their own yards, and more importantly, wouldn't it be too shabby for two people to squeeze together?"

Eunuch Wang was in the palace to record the affairs of the emperor's intercourse, not the person in front of the empress dowager, so it is not known whether he only received the orders of the empress dowager, or other orders from the emperor or even the empress.

Qin Yunguang is interested in her, the queen and Qin Yunyao are not clear, if they know the real situation here, they are afraid that something will happen for no reason...

Therefore, in front of Eunuch Wang, she had to at least maintain the appearance of respecting Qin Yunyao as a guest.

Eunuch Wang disagreed and said: "How can the princess say that she is shabby and not shabby? How can the palace be compared with the common people? They have such thoughts, it is their pettiness!"

"That's what I said wrong." Ji Liangruo smiled, "It's just that the prince gave me a courtyard alone, sent so many people to serve me, and gave me so many things, that was his wish, I can't refuse, right? I was just going to look for the prince, he entered the palace yesterday, I am afraid he is a bit tired, I will go and see him."

"That's right!" Eunuch Wang hurriedly said, "Damn the servant for delaying the princess! The servant sent the princess out!"

Walking out of the flower hall, Xiaoling chased up from nowhere and called to Ji Liangruo: "Princess..." Seeing Eunuch Wang beside her, she knew that she couldn't stop people like before, she was a little hesitant in her words, and it took her a long time to decide what to say. , "Is the princess going out?"

"Suddenly remembered something, so I won't go out for now." Ji Liangruo said, "Go and call Steward Liu."

"This..." Xiaoling still hesitated.

Ji Liangruo scolded: "Hurry up!"

"Yes!" Xiao Ling hurriedly turned around and ran outside.

Ji Liangruo turned around and entered the room.

Eunuch Wang looked around, feeling baffled, and immediately asked: "Why didn't the princess go?"

"I'm going." Ji Liangruo said, "I just won't go now. In this hot weather, everyone is sleepy, so father-in-law can go back to the house and take a nap."

When Eunuch Wang heard this, he thought she meant that Qin Yunyao was taking a lunch break, and also pointed out that she was going to take a lunch break, so he smiled and backed away.

Ji Liangruo went back to the room and waited for a while, then Xiao Ling came with Liu Yuan.

She was lying on the cool chair and sleeping, not falling asleep.Liu Yuan stood outside the window, looking down at the ground.She didn't open her eyes, she just said: "You report to the prince, I must see him."

Liu Yuan couldn't help raising his head, seeing her lying on a reclining, although not so beautiful, but full of charm after all, he quickly lowered his head.

"I'm going to report back now, I don't know if the princess has other things?"

"Gone."

Liu Yuan went and didn't reply for a long time.Ji Liangruo worried for a long time. According to Qin Yunyao's temperament, it is entirely possible for him to ignore her.

At sunset, a servant girl finally came and said, "Report to the princess, the prince invites you to have a meal."

Ji Liangruo nodded, and still asked Dongyue to accompany her.

The servant girl said: "Wangfei can go alone, she may live there at night. People who enter and leave the prince's room are fixed, other than that, they are not allowed to enter."

Dongyue said: "Then who will serve my master?"

"The prince has a few servants who can serve the princess."

Dongyue still wanted to talk, but Ji Liangruo stopped her: "That's it, you are at home, I will go by myself." Then he said to the maid, "Let's go."

The servant girl nodded with a smile and said, "Princess please first."

The two walked into the courtyard and found Eunuch Wang hurriedly coming from the side of the corridor.If Ji Liang didn't stop, he continued to walk outside.Eunuch Wang couldn't call her, so he could only watch her disappear from behind.

When Ji Liangruo walked outside Bixiao Courtyard, the servant girl behind her said: "Princess, slaves will not go in, you can go by yourself."

"Why?" she asked.

"The prince doesn't like to see us girls." The servant girl said, "I usually avoid the prince when cleaning the house, delivering tea and passing meals, and try to choose when he is not around."

Ji Liangruo expressed his understanding and went in by himself.After walking for a while, I found that the path seemed to be different from the last time I walked.She didn't care, and when she saw the house looming in the forest, she walked over there.When I got closer, I found that the door was open, and it was a living room, not the study room last time.

She looked left and right, but there was no one there, and she heard chirping birds on the left, with ups and downs, like singing, so she walked over there.Turning a corner, I saw Qin Yunyao sitting in the corridor, teasing a bird in the cage in front of him.

Beside him was a low table with tea and dried fruits on it.He reached out for the tea, took a sip and put it down, grabbed the claws in the fruit plate, peeled them one by one, and fed them to the birds.
