MTL - Accidentally Married Miss Empress-Chapter 21

Although she has lived in modern society for nearly nineteen years, Gong Yu is only a salted fish. She studies step by step and finally enters the school of love, but she lives in the dormitory all day.

But if you really like girls, then why don't you see so many girls in modern society and don't feel such a panicked heartbeat.

Gong Yu just looked at Dai Ruyan like this, thinking about it, thinking that maybe because Dai Ruyan is so good-looking, her heart beats so hard.

After all, if you really like girls or something, Dai Ruyan will definitely be scared.

Gong Yu sat up with a steady heartbeat, patted the sand on her body and said, "It's so late, why did Ayan come to me?"

Dai Ruyan stretched out her hand to straighten Li Gongyu's robe, and when she glanced at the bare feet, she said helplessly, "Put on your shoes and talk about it."

"it is good."

The two entered the courtyard, Gong Yu put on her shoes and socks regularly, and sat at the low table.

The servant set up tea and then quietly retreated. There were lamps in the corners that were lit with dim light, and the distant horizon slowly turned black and swallowed up the faint sunset.

Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan like this, holding tea in her hand, occasionally lowered her head and sipped, then looked at Dai Ruyan.

"I asked the servant to set up a meal, why don't Ayan stay for a meal?" Gong Yu was still somewhat uneasy at the moment.

"it is good."

The food, soup, and water were arranged, and she ate it in small mouthfuls on behalf of Ruyan. Gong Yu seemed to be carrying a little secret in her heart. She was sometimes apprehensive, sometimes happy, and sometimes suddenly confused.

After the meal, the two walked around the path beside the pool. Gong Yu walked very slowly with the lamp in her hand. She looked sideways at Dai Ruyan and said, "Ayan hasn't said what the **** is going on?"

"It will be the Dragon Boat Festival soon. The mansion remembers to have people hang bronze mirrors to ward off evil spirits and prepare some wormwood and calamus. Although your alcohol intake is small, it is better to drink some realgar wine." Dai Ruyan said to herself.

Gong Yu looked sideways at Dai Ruyan beside him, leaned slightly and asked, "Could it be that you want to travel far?"

Dai Ruyan turned her head to look at Gong Yu, then looked away and said, "My grandmother has already proposed to go back to Changzhou. My father is busy with official business, so I will accompany my grandmother to go back."

"Then it will take a few months."

Changzhou is more than a month away from the capital, and it takes two months to go back and forth, not to mention that it may take a while.

The night fell quietly, and the weather was much lower. If Gong Yu wanted to hold Dai Ruyan's hand on weekdays, then that was it.

But at this time of year, Gong Yu also has to stand by the side, holding a lamp in his hand to light up the side of Ruyan.

The pool water seemed dark in the night, Gong Yu eased the atmosphere and said, "You just go, I'm all right here."

"Now the court is in a state of panic because of the affairs of the third and fourth highnesses. Your Majesty is not in a good mood. You shouldn't make a fool of yourself because you are young, you know?"

"Don't worry." Gong Yu said with a smile: "I'm so obedient on weekdays, where's the nonsense."

When Dai Ruyan left the residence, Gong Yu stared blankly at the lamp in front of him, lightly pressing the still beating heart in his hand, and couldn't help but annoyed: "Everyone is walking away, why are you still jumping so hard?"

Gong Yu felt like she was deceiving herself a bit, and it didn't matter if she liked Dai Ruyan.

It's better not to let others know about it.

Even thinking about it like this, Gong Yu couldn't help sighing, lying on his side on the soft collapse, thinking about Dai Ruyan's quiet face, and thinking about the caring and hot gentle eyes.

Not only did her cheeks get hot, but Gong Yu muttered to herself in the quilt, "It's over, this feels like an unrequited love affair."

The midsummer wind smelled a little burnt, Gong Yu sat in the courtyard and watched the recruits outside to show their talents.

"His Royal Highness, our strength is one of the best in the village." The strong man carried the big stone and circled in place.

The people around were applauding, Gong Yu was drinking tea, and seeing that the strong man's face was already pale, but he still boasted: "This big rock is not our stunt, and breaking the big rock in the chest is our specialty."

Brother, don't work so hard, okay?

Gong Yu hurriedly said, "Stop, just come here."

"Your Highness, look at our true ability."

When the stone hammer went down, the strong man spurted blood on the spot, and the cup held by Gong Yu almost fell, and he quickly shouted: "Quick... invite a doctor for him!"

Fortunately, the strong man's life was still alive, but Gong Yu was so frightened.

Swords, guns, swords, sticks, these all require real skills to pass the test. Naturally, there is very little water, and it is easy to find such talents.

It's just that Gong Yu wants to recruit some strange people, but it is much more difficult. From early morning to dusk, Gong Yu has seen countless fancy ball throws and amused crickets.

"Next person."

The old butler cleared his throat and said.

"The little one is a storyteller, but he has a secret ventriloquism, as small as cats, dogs, snakes and insects, roughly tigers and beasts in the mountains."

This man is thin and thin, with a round hat and a mustache that looks like a fortune teller.

Gong Yu put down the tea and said with great interest, "Try sir, please."

I saw this man's hand slightly covering his mouth and learning the animal's posture and making cicadas, which was really similar.

After a while, the sound of birds changed again. It was not a kind of bird, but a group of birds were in front of him.

The originally peaceful and lively birdsong suddenly stopped, only to see the man standing upright and exaggeratingly imitating the movements of the beast, and suddenly a roar and startled everyone was shocked.

Gong Yu was also taken aback, clapped his hands and praised: "Okay, I will reward you with ten gold, please come to the palace."

After a few days like this, there were fewer people fishing in muddy waters, and Gong Yu, the examiner, was also idle.

Thinking that Dai Ruyan should be arriving in Changzhou soon, she picked up a pen and thought about writing a letter, which would be better than going through the months in vain.

Before Gong Yu wrote a few words, she walked inappropriately, so she crumpled into a ball and said angrily, "Write a letter for no reason, but don't know what to say, doesn't it seem like an idiot."

When the old butler was carrying the soup into the waterside pavilion, he noticed the paper ball rubbed all over the floor and asked, "Is Your Highness writing a poem?"

"No." Gong Yu packed the paper **** in this place in advance and asked, "How do the gentlemen who invited you do the housekeeper think about their affairs?"

"The talents of those gentlemen are naturally good, and they are all scholars who have never entered the court and become officials. They are all first-class experts when they come and go in Charlie's house."

Gong Yu threw the paper ball into the homemade trash can, stretched out his hand to take the sour plum juice handed over by the old butler, ate it in small bites and said, "I want to choose a few people to deal with the business I entered some time ago, the butler these few days. Let's see which of them is more suitable."

"The old slave will definitely try his best to do it."

"If you are so polite, I will be angry." Gong Yuman said seriously.

The old butler smiled and said nothing.

Gong Yu sat aside, looking at the letter that was still unwritten, and asked with some distress: "Housekeeper, you said you want to write a letter to someone suddenly, what should you write so that it won't look strange?"

"Is Your Highness going to write a letter to Dai girl?"

"Well, she's in Changzhou, I think maybe I haven't contacted her for a long time."

"If you really don't know what to talk about, you might as well tell your maiden the things that you find interesting around you, as a way to relieve your boredom."

Gong Yu thought for a while and replied, "Okay."

Thinking like this, Gong Yu put down the bowl and picked up a pen to write A Yan's personal opening, and wrote some interesting stories about recruiting talents on it. When the hawker who was throwing the fancy ball was accidentally hit by the ball, he couldn't bear it. Live smiling.

After writing two full pages on the letter paper, Gong Yu hesitated to add, "Everything is fine, don't read it."

It would take four or five days to get to Changzhou quickly. Gong Yu sent the letter anxiously, thinking that if she had time on behalf of Ruyan, she should reply to herself.

Changzhou is an ancient city, located at the confluence of rivers, in a prosperous area, where the Dai family made their fortune.

In the afternoon, the close friends of the clan's family were gathering in the garden, Dai Ruyan was watering the delicate potted plant, and the maid suddenly reported, "Miss Dai, a letter from the capital."

The girls on the other side laughed and whispered with their hands on the handkerchief. Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "Old Ancestor, your granddaughter has only been away from the capital for a while. I can't count how many times I have written back."

"That's not it, I'm afraid that the king and grandson of the capital also came here with the young lady."

Dai Ruyan didn't answer, just smiled, holding the small porcelain watering can in her hand, pouring water and asking, "Who sent it?"

"It was sent by the Ninth Highness."

Shui Su suddenly stopped, Dai Ruyan looked sideways at the maid and said, "You leave it in the room, I'll look at it later."

The courtyard is full of flowers and plants, the butterflies circled around the delicate flowers non-stop, and the light laughter sounded from time to time, after chatting a few words on behalf of Ruyan Qian, she went back to the room.

The ladies behind them joked: "The third and fourth highnesses have done that shit, lost the face of the royal family, and made us people laugh at it."

"It wasn't that the Sixth Highness was so diligent in sending letters a few days ago, but now the newly arrived Ninth Highness is a new character."

"Mrs. Zhou, don't you know that the Ninth Highness was a few days ago to save our substitute girl and was recuperating for several months after being shot by an arrow."

"So there's this one."

This Fang Dai Ruyan opened the curtain and entered the room, and the maid placed the letter in front of the desk and stepped back alone.

Dai Ruyan wiped her hands, then sat at the desk and reached out to pick up the envelope.

In addition to the letter paper, there was a sachet that fell from the envelope. The production of this sachet was really not exquisite, and it was even clumsy and unsealed, so there were still some petals exposed.

When he opened the letter, he saw the dense handwriting. Dai Ruyan read it very quickly. After reading it, he still didn't recover, so he read it again from the beginning until he saw the signature Xiao Jiu, his eyes lit up. Smiling, fingertips rubbed the handwriting.

"Little cousin." A soft and tender voice suddenly came out, and I saw a girl running into Dai Ruyan's boudoir with a smile.

The maid followed closely behind and said fearfully, "The young lady shouted to come, but the maid was unable to hold her."

Dai Ruyan folded the letter as it was, put it back in the envelope and said, "It's okay."

"Cousin, it's fragrant here." The little girl reached for the sachet.

"no."

Dai Ruyan took it away first and explained, "This is given by someone else, so you can't play with it at will."

The little girl stared blankly, full of puzzlement, and still reached out to take it. The lady's voice was vaguely heard outside: "Did you really see Lian'er running into the Dai girl's garden?"

"That's incredible, there's a lot of evil in here."

Then I heard the curtain being lifted, and the lady approached nervously and said, "I was really worried to death, I thought Lian'er was gone."

Madam hugged the little girl tightly and said with a smile, "Lian'er disturbed Dai's cleanliness, I'm really sorry."

Dai Ruyan held the sachet and responded, "Madam, you're welcome."

Without talking much, the lady hurriedly left the garden with her baby girl, and the maid who was waiting quietly retreated from the door.

As if there was only the sound of the bead curtain falling, Dai Ruyan held the sachet and sniffed it lightly, as if she could smell the faint fragrance of peach blossoms.

"jasper."

"exist."

"Prepare pen and ink."

"Yes, girl."

Since the Dragon Boat Festival, there have been several light rains intermittently, and the climate is quite comfortable.

But in the blink of an eye, it was Xiaoshu again, and the heat was overwhelming, and even Gong Yu, who was anxiously waiting for a reply, couldn't bear it.

"Your Highness, are you sure you're here?"

Gong Yu came back to his senses, looked at Qin Hua, who had just entered the palace, and then looked back at the chess game in front of him, it was already a mess.

"I probably won't be able to win the game today, sir." Gong Yu put down the pieces in his hand and began to pick up the scattered pieces on the chessboard.

Qin Hua put down the chess piece in his hand and smiled happily: "Your Highness has something on your mind?"

"No."

"No, Your Highness has something on your mind."

Gong Yu avoided Qin Hua's direct gaze and replied, "I'm just thinking about the third and fourth brothers."

"This matter has been rumored in the capital. Since then, the two have been banned from the mansion, and they have suspected each other in the court. The partisan dispute has become more and more fierce."

"The next year will be another year of imperial examinations. Your Highness might as well try to use his power to pave the way for a few people. If they enter the dynasty as officials, it will be a means."

"No." Gong Yu put down his chess pieces and said very seriously: "The imperial examination is the only way for the children of the poor family, how can you use power to interfere."

Qin Hua put down the chess piece in his hand, his face did not change but he said in a low voice: "Then why does Your Highness think that I am willing to be a master and not go to the scientific examination?"

"Do you mean to say that some people have already used scientific research to place their personal connections?"

"Naturally." Qin Hua nodded and said, "My brother was full of talents, but he missed the scientific examination several times, and finally died in depression."

"Naturally, I will no longer believe that this imperial examination is a lie set up for underprivileged children."

Gong Yu looked at Qin Hua with her back straight, and said, "I believe that the father and the king also want to recruit talented people. Since the imperial examination is controlled by the powerful, we might as well find out the powerful. how?"

Qin Hua was surprised, and then calmly replied: "If Your Highness has this determination, Qin Hua will not hesitate."

Outside the court, there was a servant newspaper: "Your Highness, you have sent a letter on behalf of the girl."

Gong Yuceng got up, and then felt that she was overreacting, so she quickly restrained herself, and said to Qin Huaxing beside him, "If you have something to do today, please leave first. As for today's matter, it is definitely not a joke, please believe me again, sir."

After a few short chats, Gong Yu walked towards the servant just now, reached out to take the envelope, and walked towards the waterside pavilion alone.

His head was full of all kinds of possibilities about how Dai Ruyan would reply to the letter, and even the pace was much faster.

The peach blossoms in the sachet were dried by Gong Yu's own hands, and I don't know if Ruyan, as intelligent as a generation, would notice anything.
