Yun Ruoyan is playing five-way chess with Liu Shi in Xianglan Garden to pass the time. This is a game Yun Ruoyan invented by herself. It is simpler than Go, less brain-intensive but also very interesting. Mrs. Liu has become addicted to playing these few days.
"Oh, old grandma, I don't want to come down here." Yun Ruoyan just put down her son, and immediately wanted to regret it.
"I don't regret the move." Liu stretched out his hand and slapped Yun Ruoyan's outstretched little hand.
"Grandmother, let Ruoyan go just once, just once." Yun Ruoyan resorted to her tried-and-tested coquettish trick again.
Sure enough, Liu's heart softened, and he said angrily: "Just this time, don't be foolish again."
"Okay, okay, just this time, let's not make an exception." Yun Ruoyan smiled at Xiaolan who was standing beside Liu Shi.
At this time, a young man hurried in and said that the master asked the second lady to go to the front hall for business.
Yun Ruoyan glanced at it, and found that the boy's expression was not right, so she knew that her father might have nothing good to do with her.
So Yun Ruoyan said casually without raising her head: "Is it something urgent? I'm playing chess with my grandmother. Can I go after this game is over?"
The boy rubbed his hands anxiously, and said, "No, Second Miss, the master told you to go right away."
Before Yun Ruoyan could speak again, with a sound of "snap!", Mrs. Liu dropped the chess piece in her hand heavily on the chessboard, and said, "What's important, it's more important than birthday stars playing chess!"
"Oh, my old ancestor!" The servant was so frightened that he knelt down and explained the incident of Uncle Rong Guo's carriage blocking the way at the gate, and also showed half of his swollen face that he had hidden. Liu Shi and Yun Ruoyan looked at it.
"This Rong Tianling has been a naughty boy since he was a child, and now he is still playing around." Liu Shi said, she also knew about the flower viewing banquet, not from others, but from Yun Ruoyan herself. her.
"This old boy is looking for face at my old lady's birthday banquet." Liu Shi stood up straight after speaking, Yun Ruoyan hurriedly stood up and supported her arm, "Grandmother, please slow down."
Mrs. Liu patted Yun Ruoyan's hand, and said kindly: "Ruoyan, don't be afraid, anyone who dares to bully you today will embarrass my old lady. Let's go to the front together."
Yun Ruoyan knew early on that today's birthday banquet would definitely not be peaceful, and indeed there was a disturbance before the banquet even started.
She thought that since she had to go to the banquet, it was safest to stay with her grandmother Liu, so Yun Ruoyan would come to accompany her grandmother and play cards and chess with her even if she tried her best not to practice in the past few days.
The purpose is to let Liu gradually get used to his company until he can't leave him in the end.
In the beginning, Yun Ruoyan really had the mentality of taking advantage of her, but after a long time, she found that being with Mrs. Liu, making her happy, and acting like a baby to her gave her an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
So that falsehood slowly became true.
Mrs. Liu got into the soft sedan chair, Yun Ruoyan stood beside her, and the group followed the young man all the way to the intersection east of the gate of Yun's house.
"What's the matter? Whose carriage is blocking the road?!" A guest who just arrived asked curiously.
"It's the carriage of Uncle Rong Guo's family. It's been blocked for a while." Someone explained.
"Uncle Rong Guo!" The man had a surprised expression on his face, and said in a suppressed voice: "How can a person as sensible as Master Yun provoke that Overlord?"
"Don't you know? At the flower appreciation banquet, His Royal Highness King Yu abolished the cultivation base of the first daughter of the Rong family for the sake of the first daughter of the Yun family. This overlord can't deal with His Royal Highness Yu King, and he can't swallow this breath, so he will naturally come to the Yun family." It's noisy."
"But this is too much, the old lady celebrates her birthday, and he makes trouble too!"
"When did this overlord not go too far? He just wanted to make a fuss for everyone to see. The crown prince and King Yu haven't come yet. When everyone is here, the show will be more lively. Let's watch!"
There are more and more people watching the theater, and Prince Yu Limo has not arrived yet, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is on his way.
Li Qianxiao didn't want to come at all, because of what happened at the flower viewing banquet, he was banned from Li Xiu for half a month, and he was very depressed.
Also, there are two women in the Yun family that he really doesn't want to see, one is Yun Ruoyan, and the other is Yi Qianying.
But Mrs. Rong told him to go. It doesn't matter if he usually pretends to be sick, but in this sensitive period, if he still plays the prince's temper, isn't that kiss for nothing
Fortunately, the second prince Li Qianyuan finally returned to the palace, and he was happy to accompany him, so the two brothers rode horses to Yun's house under the protection of a team of royal guards.
"Brother Huang, is the first daughter of the Yun family really as scary as you say?" Li Qianyuan tightened his reins and turned to ask Li Qianxiao.
"Of course."
Li Qianxiao replied without hesitation: "It's fine if it's purely ugly, but she still looks like a delicate beauty at first glance, but when the tulle is taken off her face, it's true that a fairy turns into a ghost in an instant. If it wasn't for your imperial brother, I would be so courageous, I would definitely fall ill from fright."
"Oh, is it really that scary?" Li Qianxiao's words whetted Li Qianyuan's appetite even more.
"I really didn't lie to you, you'll know when you see it later."
"I really want to see if she is more terrifying than the water demon in Shen Guodong Sea."
Li Qianyuan raised his slender eyebrows. Compared with his brothers, his appearance was more feminine, and he inherited Li Xiu's long and narrow eyes. However, his facial features are quite handsome, his skin is delicate and smooth, and when he smiles slightly, he looks even more charming than a woman.
When Rong Tianling saw that Yun Ruoyan hadn't come, she was a little anxious, but she imitated a gossip woman and said, "Master Yun, is your daughter afraid of seeing people? I heard that she looks strange." Very ugly, at the flower viewing banquet, he first seduced His Royal Highness King Yu, and offered to throw himself into his arms. Then he refused King Yu desperately, this has already become a good story!"
Yun Lan glanced at Rong Yuehong who was in the carriage and said in her heart, "Your daughter dares to come out to meet people with such a ghostly appearance, why wouldn't my daughter dare?" But in front of everyone, he didn't bother to argue with it.
Seeing that Rong Tianling wanted to speak again, Yun Lan said flatly: "His Royal Highness King Yu will also be here today. Uncle Guo had better have some good words. It would be no fun if His Royal Highness Yu was offended."
After hearing this, Rong Tianling stopped abruptly.
"Master, master, here we come." At this moment, the boy with half of his face swollen ran over, shouting as he ran, and was out of breath when he ran in front of Yun Lan.
"Why so long." Yun Lan asked in a deep voice.
The boy clutched his stomach and swallowed his saliva and replied: "Master, the old lady is here too."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu's voice came over.
"I heard that Uncle Guo came to celebrate my birthday with the old lady, but he was blocked at the intersection and refused to enter. I wonder if my Yun family did something inconsiderate and offended Uncle Guo?" Sitting on a soft sedan chair, Mrs. Liu led the servant all the way. Lifted over.
Mrs. Liu's voice was quite resonant, and she could not be recognized as an eighty-year-old lady at all. When Liu was young, he was also a very powerful practitioner, and the sword master reached the peak of the eighth level. So even if he is old, the aura of a strong man is still there.
At this moment, Rong Tianling finally got out of the car, saluted Mrs. Liu, and said, "Old lady, it's not that I'm being unreasonable, it's just that my dignified uncle can't find a place to be reasonable. I'm aggrieved. !"
"Humph" Mrs. Liu snorted coldly, and said, "You can go to whoever wronged you. I heard that it was His Royal Highness King Yu who abolished your daughter at the flower viewing banquet. It just so happened that King Yu also issued an invitation card today. , when he comes later, you can go to him."
Everyone knew that it was Yu Wang Limo who really hurt Rong Yuehong, but the only one who dared to directly point the finger at Yu Wang was Liu Shi.
"Yes, that's right, what the old lady said makes sense."
At this time, the person who had been blocked for a long time agreed.
"Uncle Guo is looking for the wrong person. Since the real master hasn't come yet, Uncle Guo should stop blocking you."
"It would be bad if the auspicious time for the banquet was delayed, uncle Guo, please let me go."
There were voices one after another from behind Rong Tianling's carriage.
"I don't care about that!" Rong Tianling was annoyed by the voices of the crowd, and suddenly started to play tricks.
With a big wave of his hand, a powerful spiritual force overflowed from his palm. The spiritual force turned into a gust of wind and blew away all the curtains around the carriage behind him, revealing the bone-like body lying on the soft couch. Rong Yuehong.
When everyone saw the people on the carriage, they all gasped. The imperial city was rich, and the beggars in the city were all greasy. They had never seen such a thin, lifeless, ghost-like person.
"This is my daughter." Rong Tian's eight-foot-old man suddenly burst into tears, "My beautiful daughter, just because I had a fight with your family's Yun Ruoyan at the flower viewing banquet. , it has become what it is today, everyone take a look, tell me where to go to reason!"
"Oh, how did Miss Rong's family become like this?!"
"That's right, she is a famous beauty in the imperial city!"
"A few months ago, I accompanied Ms. Rong to the Underworld Mountain to see flowers. At that time, Ms. Rong was still very beautiful. Why did I go to the flower viewing feast and become like this!"
Seeing Rong Yuehong's appearance, everyone expressed regret.
"Hehe...hehe..." At this moment, Rong Yuehong on the carriage made another strange sound.
Rong Tianling immediately jumped into the carriage and listened to Rong Yuehong's words, then nodded.
Then Rong Tianling looked at Yun Ruoyan, who had been standing quietly beside Liu Shi, and said, "Although Yue Hong was injured by King Yu, the root cause is Yun Ruoyan. So all her resentment is here On Yun Ruoyan's body. Now that Yuehong looks immortal, she just wants Yun Ruoyan to carry her for a while so that she can release her resentment. Could it be that your Yun family can't even satisfy such a small matter? Her?!"
"Oh, it's quite pitiful, a good young lady."
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you carry it on your back, she doesn't look heavy."
"Yeah, judging by her appearance, she won't live long, so let's just fulfill her last wish."
The crowd has always been sympathetic, and the conversation soon turned to Rong Yuehong.
Yun Lan had already been entangled enough by Rong Tianling, so she directly ordered Yun Ruoyan: "Ruoyan, go and carry her on your back."
Mrs. Liu also hesitated at this time, she would not let Yun Ruoyan get hurt, but the Rong family asked only to recite Rong Yuehong, there is nothing wrong with that. So he said, "Why don't you, Ruoyan, go and recite her."
Yun Ruoyan glanced at Yun Lan and Liu Shi, with an imperceptible sneer on the corner of her mouth, and then replied: "Okay, I'll carry it!"
