"ah… "
Li Yi admitted that after Ruyi finished saying this, his heart skipped a beat.
More than once.
"The concubine said, let Sister Zeng pass the door." Ruyi looked at him and repeated it again.
Li Yi suddenly didn't know where to put his hands, put them outside, it didn't seem right, put them in his sleeves, it didn't seem right, put them in his pockets - no pockets.
Ruyi took his hand, sat down by the bed, and said, "Sister Zeng came here just now."
At this moment, Li Yi remembered the carriage he saw at the gate of the mansion just now, his heart tightened again, and he asked inadvertently, "What are you talking about?"
"Just chatting casually. She came to see my concubine and Duan'er, and she brought the little shoes she made herself. Miss Zeng's female celebrity is better than my concubine's. Duan'er also likes her very much..." Ruyi smiled , looked at Li Yi and said: "Sister Zeng, it's really good. I can tell that she likes her husband, and she is no worse than my concubine."
Li Yi looked at her. Others would make this kind of joke, but Ruyi would definitely not make it, let alone make it a second time.
"My lady..." Li Yi opened his mouth, but was interrupted by her.
Ruyi held his hand, with a smile on her brows and eyes, and asked, "Does Xianggong like Sister Zeng?"
"… like."
Li Yi nodded, this was the only answer he could give at the moment.
"I'm sorry for Sister Zeng." Ruyi looked at him, suddenly lowered her head, and said, "I once went to find her without telling my husband."
Li Yi stared at her blankly, neither Ruyi nor Zui Mo had ever mentioned this matter to him.
Ruyi said in a low voice: "My concubine asked her if she likes her husband. If she likes her husband, she might as well marry into the Li family..."
"when?"
"Just a few days before Xianggong left Kyoto."
"She, what did she say?"
"She declined."
Li Yi clenched his other fist. It is not difficult to imagine the situation and mood they were in at that time. No wonder, no wonder she always avoided him those days...
And Ruyi went to Yangliu Lane in person and said this to her, what kind of determination did she make...
Ruyi held his hand tightly, and said in a low voice: "Sister, I'm sorry, when I was born, I just thought that if she could come to the Li family, maybe she could have a child for the husband and the Li family..., yes The concubine is too selfish."
Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head, and said, "It's me who should say I'm sorry."
"Sister-in-law, don't say that." Ruyi leaned on his shoulder and said, "Sister-in-law is very good to me, and I know that my husband cares about my feelings, so, that's why I can only wrong Miss Zeng."
Li Yi hugged her waist, lowered his head and asked: "Now that I have Duan'er, why do you still want me to..."
"Because Sister Zeng is really nice..." Ruyi lowered her head and murmured, "Not to mention husband, even as a concubine, I like her a little..."
She suddenly raised her head and asked curiously: "How did Xianggong and Miss Zeng meet in the first place?"
"How do you know..." Li Yi thought for a while, and said, "It seems that I just came here... Not long after I was caught in the stockade by Ruyi, I went down the mountain once, and was taken to Qunyuyuan by Li Xuan..."
"You know Li Xuan, he is a flirtatious man, he spends his time thinking, going in and out of these fireworks places all day long, I didn't want to go, but he insisted..."
"That day at Qunyuyuan, I happened to meet her performing. I mistook her for an old acquaintance. I lost my composure and disturbed her playing, and was scolded as a disciple..."
"Old acquaintance?" Ruyi looked up at her and asked, "The old acquaintance who can make Xianggong lose his temper should be very important in Xianggong's heart. Where is she now and how is she doing?"
Li Yi was slightly distracted, and then said: "It's been a long time, and now I think about it, it seems to have happened in my previous life. As for her... I will never see her again."
That was a misunderstanding, and at this time, it can only be explained to Ruyi in this way.
Ruyi lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up."
"It doesn't matter." Li Yi helped her stroke the hair on her forehead, and continued: "Speaking of which, this is not the earliest, the earliest should be to take her painting by mistake..."
"Is that one that Xianggong hid in the study?"
"Uh, um... that's the one." Li Yi was startled, and then continued: "Later, once, in Qunyu Courtyard, uh, of course Li Xuan brought her in, and accidentally broke into her room , At that time, she had just come out of the shower, and then... "
"There is such a thing, isn't Mr. Xiang..."
"Misunderstanding, that time was purely a misunderstanding..." Li Yi shook his head again and again, "Then I accidentally saw her changing clothes, and I didn't see anything that time, it was also a misunderstanding..."
"Did you see everything last time?"
"Well..., no, that day..., ah, later, didn't we move to Kyoto later, when we left, I helped her write a few poems to compete for the oiran, but I don't know that she actually wanted to redeem herself a long time ago and became the oiran , her worth will increase greatly, and she will not be able to redeem herself, and almost do bad things with good intentions... "
"Obviously a dozen songs..."
"Ah, more than a dozen songs, maybe I remember wrong... Later, she came to the capital, helped in Goulan, and later helped a garment shop... For a while, some people in Beijing targeted me and made her suffer. Not a small impact, almost wronged and sent to prison... "
Ruyi blinked her eyes and asked, "Did you fall in love after a long time?"
"No..." Li Yi shook his head and said, "Not yet."
"So, where have we reached?"
Except for those few accidents, the two of them really didn't even hold hands normally. Li Yi shook his head and told the truth frankly.
"This matter, Mr. Xiang is the master." Ruyi lowered her head, held his hand tightly, bit her lower lip, and said slowly: "There is only so much I can do..."
Li Yi didn't speak, but hugged her tightly with his other arm. After that, there was no sound in the room.
When the little guy woke up, Ruyi went to coax him, and he teased him for a while, and when he stepped out of the door, there was another voice behind him.
"Master, I have a problem..." Ruyi's voice was soft: "If my wife and sister Zeng fall into the water at the same time, which one will you save first?"
boom!
When Li Yi stepped out of the threshold with one foot, he tripped heavily and flew straight to the corridor.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, but he was embarrassed when he landed, but it wasn't really as miserable as Chen Ge's incident.
Lao Fang stood in the courtyard, staring blankly at this scene, then walked over, sighed, and said, "Master, think about it, there are no difficulties in life..."
Li Yi straightened his clothes, looked at him in surprise, and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Lao Fang patted him on the shoulder, sighed again, and said, "Miss hits and scolds you, just bear with it and let it go, don't fight back, or you will be beaten even worse."
Li Yi frowned and looked at him: "What do you want to say?"
With a puzzled expression on Lao Fang's face, he asked, "You've been inside for so long, didn't Missy say anything?"
"I said it." Li Yi looked at him and said, "Ruyi said, let me marry Zui Mo back."
"Inexplicable." Looking at Lao Fang who suddenly stood still, Li Yi shook his head, turned and left.
"Marry, marry back..."
Lao Fang turned around and watched his back disappear in a daze, then shook his head in disbelief.
"It doesn't make sense..."
