It's been two days since the New Year's Eve palace banquet, and Yan Ruyu is still in a daze. From time to time, that crazy face and that angry question appear in her mind -
‘Yu’er, you want to get married, why don’t you find me? ’
Thinking of the absurdity of that night, Yan Ruyu still feels like a dream.
King Runan, who had always been taciturn, cold and self-possessed, actually blocked her behind a rockery and treated her like that...that...
Is he crazy, or is her memory confused?
Yan Ruyu raised her eyes and looked at the bronze mirror in front of her, which reflected her face.
The innocence and childishness of her eighteen-year-old appearance have long since faded away, and her brows and eyes are dignified and steady as a noble lady should.
Everyone who sees her, from the queen and concubine to the servants in the house, will praise her as "dignified and virtuous", as if she was born to be a lady, and she should be like this.
With such a dignified face, there was a very ambiguous wound at the corner of his mouth.
Yan Ruyu seemed to taste the smell of rust again.
Not a dream.
Jiang Mo not only kissed her forcefully, but even bit her.
'Yu'er, I thought my thoughts were clear enough, but you didn't even give me a chance. ’
He bit her hard as if he wanted to eat her up.
She was trapped in his arms and had difficulty breathing. She had no idea what he wanted to do.
Even now, she didn't understand what Jiang Mo wanted to do.
Yan Ruyu has been thinking about this issue for the past two days, so much so that she has forgotten all the bad things that happened to her.
The third prince fell.
Although the prime minister's house was not implicated, his father's hope of going further became even slimmer.
Although his father was already in a high position, he had one courtier after another. After the prince succeeded to the throne, he would definitely use the Xie family. The father's power only lasted for these years.
Her father, who was far-sighted, had been planning for a long time, and his training of her for more than ten years was the best evidence.
He wanted to send her to be the crown princess or the queen. If the blood of the royal family flows in the blood of the royal family, the Yan family will be immortal for a hundred years.
Soon she got haircut, and when her mother asked her father when he would propose marriage for her, his father always said, "Wait a little longer."
Waiting and waiting, I waited until Qin Tianjian said, "It is not suitable for the prince to marry early."
That day, my father's expression was really ridiculous.
But she drank alone and got drunk for a while. She was not drinking to drown her sorrows, but she was happy.
But the mother's brows became more and more serious.
She also has a younger brother, but her mother doesn't like him at all because he is not her biological child.
The mother did not give birth to a son. The father brought one back from outside and said he was an orphan without a father or mother, but the mother did not believe it.
Yan Ruyu didn't believe it either, but in this huge Prime Minister's Mansion, his father had the final say inside and out.
The marriage to the Duke's Mansion was decided by my father.
The prince's path was no longer feasible, and the Xie family was so powerful, so his father decided to take a desperate risk.
Even if you are smart all your life, you will always be confused once or twice.
She had already heard about Lu Jinzhi, the eldest son of the Duke of Guo's Mansion. He was good-looking and fairly talented, but he kept getting in trouble with Miss Qiao from the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion.
If you like it, you like it, if you don't like it, you don't like it. Lu Jinzhi's indecisiveness is really annoying.
However, my father liked it very much.
Her father said that such a person is easy to control, and she will not suffer any disadvantages if she marries him in the future, and can take over the entire Lu family.
Yan Ruyu looked at her father. Indeed, a man who is easy to control would not have an extramarital affair, secretly bring back a child, or secretly give his wife a killer drug.
The outer room that had never been seen was a sword hanging over her mother's head and a thorn in Yan Ruyu's heart. They secretly explored it several times, but failed every time.
My father hid people very well. Not only did he hide well, he also acted very well.
Her younger brother, Yan Chengze, is named after his mother and is the legitimate son of the family. He has enjoyed all the favor from his father since he was born, but he still says that he loves her too, both as a younger brother and as a sister.
Therefore, whatever books her younger brother reads, she reads, and whatever younger brother learns, she, as an older sister, can also learn it all.
At first, Yan Ruyu really thought that this was all due to her father's love for her. When she was thirteen years old, her father gave all her articles to her younger brother.
‘You are a girl, and you can compose poems and rhyme, so you can add fragrance to your red sleeves with your husband in the future. Your brother still has to do the writing and talking about the country. ’
The highly respected Prime Minister said this to his biological daughter.
Yan Ruyu started to wake up from the dream at that time.
Yan Chengze took her article to the school and won praise from the teachers.
Even though her father knew that it was her article, he still praised Yan Chengze, and Yan Chengze, a little loser, didn't feel any blush at all.
How hypocritical!
What's even more hypocritical is that since then, her father has repeatedly asked her to ghostwrite for Yan Chengze, without caring about her feelings at all.
Lord Xiangguo believes that the care and support between siblings is a matter of course.
But he forgot that Yan Chengze was not her brother at all.
Yan Ruyu knew that resistance was useless. How much conscience could a person who could kill his wife have?
She follows his wishes. If he wants her to be dignified, she will be dignified. If he wants her to be educated and sensible, she will be educated and sensible. If he wants her to marry into the Duke's palace, then he will marry into the Duke's palace.
However, God should be on her side.
Lu Jinzhi was finally counterattacked by Qiao Yin. He made a fool of himself in the paddock, and even her father could not look down upon him. Immediately afterwards, an assassination occurred in the paddock.
Not only did the marriage with the Lu family fail, the third prince also fell, and his father suffered a big blow.
When she came back from the paddock, she claimed she was sick, but in fact she was celebrating.
She was happy to see the father and son frowning.
How should I put it, she should thank Qiao Yin. It was Qiao Yin's variable that caused the Lu family's collapse earlier and also caused his father to be frustrated again.
I really should thank Qiao Yin.
So, how could she not send a thank you gift to Qiao Yin on her wedding?
It's a pity that her happiness didn't last long. Her father and good brother found out from somewhere that the prince had passed the fate of early marriage, and the queen was already preparing for the prince's marriage.
The father and son started to make moves again.
She watched with cold eyes, and even had some expectation in her heart.
Go ahead and get into trouble with the prince and make the Yan family fall even more severely!
Yan Ruyu sat in front of the bronze mirror, lost in thought for a long time. She heard footsteps behind her, and her maid came forward to report: "Miss, Prince Runan is here. Please come over."
Yan Ruyu came back to her senses and frowned slightly, "I said I'm not feeling well..."
Before she finished speaking, the maid looked at Yan Ruyu and said in fear: "Miss, His Royal Highness the King of Runan just heard that the lady was ill and brought the imperial doctor here. Miss, do you want the imperial doctor to come and take a look?"
Yan Ruyu was silent and had to get up and go to the front yard.
As soon as he entered the hall door, he saw the man sitting at the top with a smile but not a smile, wearing a red robe that was flamboyant and unscrupulous.
Yan Ruyu remembered that he used to like to wear dark colors, but why did he become more fancy as he got older?
Yan Ruyu glanced at it, withdrew her gaze, stepped forward with lowered eyebrows, and said:
"Uncle Jiang, have a happy new year."
