The emperor said: "Yong'an, I will tell you clearly today, not only can you not reconcile, but you have to go back and coax Rong Ting to me."
"You have always been my proudest daughter. Go back and reflect on yourself. How confused you are when you came to me today. Step back."
Zhu Ning didn't need to go back to the mansion to reflect, she had already thought about it on the spot. As a princess, she has the responsibility to win over important ministers and stabilize diplomatic relations. Not to mention that the emperor married her to Rong Ting, even if he wanted her to marry a foreign country, she had to marry. It is true that she is confused.
After Zhu Ning left, the emperor summoned Zhu Yi again and ordered her to live in the princess mansion for a few days so as to enlighten Zhu Ning.
Zhu Ning didn't expect that even her younger sister would know about the trouble so quickly, which was a bit embarrassing.
She asked: "Yiyi, who told you about my relationship with Ruan Yu in the past? Father? Or... Xie Ying?"
Zhu Yi confessed her relationship with Xie Ying under Zhu Ning's pressure yesterday, and replied honestly: "Xie Ying." She asked again: "Sister, don't you hate Ruan Yu? He married another man after you were injured." others."
Zhu Ning didn't say whether she hated it or not, but said: "As a prince of one side, Ruan Yu is naturally impossible to marry a foolish woman as a princess, even if this person is a princess."
Zhu Yidao: "It's impossible for Ruan Yu. As the eldest son of Duke Cheng's family, Rong Ting is going to be the prince in the future, so he can do it? What does this mean? It means that brother-in-law's feelings for eldest sister are much more sincere and profound than Ruan Yu's." many."
"Yiyi, have you misunderstood something? It's really not because of Ruan Yu that I proposed to make peace with Rong Ting. I never thought that I would be with Ruan Yu."
"Why is that?" Sensing Zhu Ning's emotional ups and downs, Zhu Yi gently wrapped her arms around Zhu Ning's shoulders, letting her lean against him.
Zhu Yi can actually understand her sister's uneasiness and loss, just like if it was her, she woke up after being foolish for a few years, and found that Xie Ying had abandoned her, married another woman and had children, but she married a woman who was not married before. love man. What an upheaval would be in my heart.
Zhu Ning's heart warmed because of her younger sister's actions, and she also hugged her tightly, taking her as her reliance. Zhu Ning's mother and concubine passed away when she was fourteen years old, and besides Zhu Yi, she really had no one else to confide in.
But her younger sister is not married after all, so it is really difficult for her to say some things.
She didn't speak, but Zhu Yi said: "Sister, you actually like your brother-in-law. After you married him, how happy you are every day. Originally, you liked to cling to me the most, but later you became the most clingy to your brother-in-law. I was so jealous." gone."
Zhu Ning touched Zhu Yi's head and said, "How can the happiness and liking when I was stupid be real?"
"Why don't you count, it's you too. How can eldest sister not admit to herself? No matter how you recover, your feelings for brother-in-law will always exist."
Zhu Ning did not speak.
"Actually, sister, it's very easy to know whether you like your brother-in-law or not. Can you accept him going to another woman?" Zhu Yi asked, "Imagine that brother-in-law treats other girls as well as he treats you. Can you accept other girls being intimate?"
Zhu Yi felt Zhu Ning's tense body, so she knew what she was thinking. Zhu Yi was puzzled, "You clearly have a brother-in-law in your heart, why did you propose to make peace with him?"
Zhu Ning didn't know how to tell Zhu Yi that she was conflicted and complicated. There are some things that she can't tell anyone.
Ruan Yu also treated her well.
She was pushed into the silk lake by eunuchs sent by who knows, and almost suffocated to death. It was Ruan Yu who saved her. It was inevitable that such a man whose appearance and temperament matched her fantasies about men, and who appeared in front of her for the first time in a way of saving her, left a mark in her heart.
After saving her, he cared for her tenderly. Seeing her distressed appearance, he even took out his handkerchief to wipe off the water droplets on her face. The next meeting was at the palace banquet. Ruan Yu's mature and wise conversation and his modest demeanor attracted Zhu Ning's attention.
What's more, when meeting in private, Ruan Yu's affectionate eyes, from subtle teasing to gradually aggressive behavior, are like a hunter, catching her into the net bit by bit.
Little Zhu Ning, who was just in love, couldn't resist, and her whole heart was tied to the other party.
How much she liked Ruan Yu in the past, now she rejects and resists men. Therefore, she really never thought about returning to Ruan Yu's embrace. She just wanted to be alone and no longer involved with any man. But obviously, her father didn't allow it.
The weather was still a bit cold, Zhu Yi and Zhu Ning had dinner and still stayed in the house. After a while, someone asked to see him outside, and Zhu Ning asked someone to come in, but it was Shen An who had been by Rong Ting's side for many years.
He bowed to sister Zhu Yi, and said to Zhu Ning: "Princess, my son asked the little one to come and pick up something, and told the little one to report it to the princess, so he won't make a special trip to move his stuff, and the princess can order someone to dispose of it as he pleases. "
Dispose of it at will, that is, throw it away or burn it? Zhu Yi noticed that Shen An referred to Rong Ting as "my son-in-law" instead of "son-in-law", which means that Rong Ting also decided to cut off the relationship with Zhu Ning...
What Zhu Yi could think of, Zhu Ning could naturally think of. It was the result she wanted, but her heart seemed to be tightened by someone's hands.
After Shen An took out a wooden box from the bookcase to take away, Zhu Yi asked him, "Where is my sister's wife? Where is he?"
Shen An was slightly stunned, and said, "Young master is in the front hall."
Zhu Yi stepped out and walked out, even if Zhu Ning screamed, she couldn't help it. She ran too fast, and when she ran across the entire backyard to the front hall to find Rong Ting, she was still panting sharply.
Zhu Yi was taken aback, he didn't expect that Rong Ting would look so haggard after just one day, which showed that he was extremely distressed. She asked: "Brother-in-law, are you going to move out of the princess mansion?"
Rong Ting looked at Zhu Yi, because of the relationship between Xie Ying and Zhu Ning, he had always loved Zhu Yi, so naturally he wouldn't give her a cold face, but he just hummed.
Zhu Yiluo thought about it, and said, "Brother-in-law, my eldest sister and I will go out to visit lanterns later. Can you accompany us?"
Rong Ting frowned: "I have other things to do later. There are too many people on the street during the first month, so don't go out."
Zhu Yi said: "But we haven't seen the light once this year." Then he said: "Brother-in-law is busy, so forget it... I will let Rong Xiao follow."
Rong Ting pursed his lips slightly, feeling very irritable. He thought of the last time Rong Xiao went out with Zhu Yi and Zhu Yi was taken captive. No matter how much he wants to avoid Zhu Ning now, he has no way to disregard the safety of Zhu Ning and Zhu Yi, so he has to follow them personally to rest assured.
Zhu Yi went back to the backyard and took Zhu Ning to accompany her to the street to watch the lanterns. Walking to the gate of the Princess Mansion, she saw Rong Ting waiting outside. Zhu Yi lowered her head and smiled, she knew that her brother-in-law was worried about her elder sister.
On the streets of Beijing in the first month of the lunar year, there are festive lanterns like a sea, a variety of operas, and there is nowhere that is not bustling.
There is a restaurant called "Spring Breeze Forest" in Qingxiu Pond. It is not a luxurious place, but it is quieter. Most of the people who come here are literati, but tonight, everyone sitting in the elegant room of this restaurant is enough to affect the current situation of the world.
When Xie Ying and Xie Shao arrived together, Ruan Yu and Yan Fengqin had already arrived. When they saw the two Xie brothers, they stood up to say hello, and the room was harmonious and harmonious.
Xie Ying also said with a smile: "Brother, long time no see."
When he called out this title to King Yongnan, Xie Shao turned his head expressionlessly, his eyes stayed on Xie Ying's face for a moment, and then turned away again.
Ruan Yu hugged Xie Ying affectionately and walked to the upper seat: "Third brother is safe and well, I have long wanted to catch up with my third brother, and I can see you today."
Although Xie Ying is the youngest, according to the current title, the status of the prince's son is higher than that of the county king, and the military strength in his hands is enough to outshine all heroes, so it is reasonable to let him sit on the throne.
Xie Ying said: "These are all elder brothers. The elder brother is the host. It is better for the elder brother to sit in this position." He said and sat to one side.
Ruan Yu didn't insist anymore, and waved his hand to signal the girl playing the pipa in the room to step back, and poured the first glass of wine for several people himself.
These people have met each other in private for a long time, and when they really get together in public, they are just talking politely, and they won't say anything that really matters.
Ruan Yu observed everyone indiscriminately. According to his understanding, Xie Ying and Yan Fengqin were really congenial in the past, but now...
And he had also learned the news that Zhu Ning had regained her sanity. Ruan Yu didn't expect that Zhu Ning could really wake up. In fact, when Zhu Ning was injured, he had also found a famous doctor to treat Zhu Ning secretly.
If it's the stupid Zhu Ning, he can take both her and Zhu Yi. But if Zhu Ning is sober, if he wants to get it, he must give up Zhu Yi.
Ruan Yu is very clear about his intentions, he really loves Zhu Ning. As for Zhu Yi, it's just a common problem of men wanting to show off their stunning beauty.
Since Zhu Ning wanted to reconcile with Rong Ting for him, he naturally wanted to treat her well.
What's more, for the sake of Zhu Yi, it is really uneconomical to face Xie Ying and Yan Fengqin in advance.
As for Xie Shao, Ruan Yu felt that he had never seen through this person.
Several men came out of "Spring Breeze Forest" and went to Danshui's boat, where Ruan Yu had already made arrangements.
I saw two men and two women sitting at a supper stall not far away. Sitting in such a crude place with such four people who are out of place is really eye-catching.
It was the two sisters Zhu Ning and Zhu Yi and the two brothers Rong Ting and Rong Xiao.
This is what Zhu Yi insisted on eating, because last September 29th, Zhu Ning's 23rd birthday, they sat together at the same place, Zhu Ning and Rong Ting were extremely affectionate, and they ate a bowl of five-color balls together, Blind the bachelors around.
Rong Ting and Zhu Ning naturally understood Zhu Yi's meaning, and seeing Zhu Yi spare no effort to match them up, it was hard to describe the feeling in their hearts.
Both Rong Ting and Zhu Ning ate in silence, while Zhu Yi and Rong Xiao were naturally responsible for enlivening the atmosphere. The two talked to each other, trying to evoke the good memories of Rong Ting and Zhu Ning in the past half a year. Under such an atmosphere of tacit understanding, Rong Xiao looked at Zhu Yi with a gentle gaze that could drip water.
Ruan Yu looked at the backs of Rong Ting and Zhu Ning sitting together, with a cold murderous intent in his eyes. Yan Fengqin's contemptuous eyes turned on Rong Xiao, and looked at Zhu Yi's slightly drunken blushing face.
Without saying a word, Xie Ying walked towards the four of them.
