C75 (1/2)
As it turned out, on this trip, in addition to preventing the barbarians and unrest from the north of the Yan Kingdom, Emperor Qing He also had the intention of inspecting the children of the various noble clans. After all, the imperial daughter's family still needed young people.
Seeing that she had agreed, Shay's gaze shifted to her face, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. Ru Yi also had a smile on her face as she asked softly, ”Aunt and Uncle don't know about my situation, right?”
Seeing him nod slightly, he smiled and said, ”It's not good to know about this, it's better to be more at ease. Don't tell them, even if you see me outside, don't be as casual as you are now, I will make the rest. If you feel wronged, you can listen to it when there's no one else, alright?”
She spoke so earnestly that Xue Qianyun's ears turned red. This time, he didn't nod his head and agreed.
Ru Yi heaved a sigh of relief. ”There are a lot of people going out this time, many of them are of higher status than your uncle. Normally, you don't interact with them, but if there is someone who is rude, you don't need to be polite, but don't be impulsive, and don't hurt yourself …”
Hearing her tone, Xue Xianyun started to get annoyed and nagging like his mother. He frowned and was a bit dissatisfied. As an older sister, how could it be easy for her to persuade him? Even the fourth princess in the palace had never received such sincere concern from Ye Ci! He really spoilt him!
Ru Yi moved her fingers on the stone table. She really wanted to beat him up, but she resisted herself in the end.
There was no rush to beat someone up. He was just such an awkward child. If she were to lower herself to his level, wouldn't she be angering herself to death?
”Alright, have a taste. This is the spring water I brought out. Do you want some tea or just some water?”
Xue Xianyun felt that since she didn't have to pretend to be an adult, she should be able to give him a proper answer, ”I'll listen to you. I don't drink much tea, I'll just drink some water most of the time.”
Ru Yi smiled slightly as she pressed the word ”good boy” down her throat with great difficulty. He placed the cup in his hand and said, ”The spring water is also very sweet and very tasty.”
Xue Caiyun lowered his head and took a sip. When he looked up and saw her bright eyes looking at him, he nodded and said, ”It does taste a little sweet.”
Ru Yi then asked, ”What kind of tea do you like, uncle and aunt? I have a lot there, and usually no one drinks it. Next time I bring you some, why don't you give it to them?”
She nodded. ”Mother likes black tea in the winter, green tea in the summer, and as for Father, he likes Mount Lu's cloudy tea …”
Then, without further ado, if he did not think of his brother and sister-in-law at all, he pointed to them. ”What about your brother and sister-in-law?”
Xue Ning Yun rolled his eyes at her, ”I don't know. I think you should drink all kinds of tea. ”
Ru Yi could only smile. She didn't expect him to know anything about relationships.
”Then I'll go back and find some. If there's any tea, I'll make some for you. You can just see to it that the people you send away are not fond of you …”
Thinking of something, he took out two beads from his sleeve, and placed them in the hands of the giver. With a smile, he asked, ”You might be able to tell which one is the one you gave me?”
Her hands were white, with a hint of pink in the middle, and her fingers were slender and long. What kind of jade bamboo shoots? Her hands were soft and gentle, making two strings of obsidian beads look especially bright.
After he understood what she meant, he laughed at her boredom in his heart, but at the same time, he also had other emotions. He couldn't tell what she was thinking, so he could only turn his head and say, ”I can't tell.”
He had not forgotten to give her a string of obsidian beads, but ever since he had learned of her identity, he had never thought that she would still be able to keep it. After all, no matter how inexperienced he was, he knew that the palace had countless good things.
For example, his kung fu was no different from a three-legged cat in the eyes of the imperial guards. She was the imperial concubine and possessed all the good things in the world.
Xue Xianyun was not interested, and Ru Yi was also a little embarrassed. She felt that she had been too stupid, so she excitedly found a big box of beads and spent four hours to put it on. Not only did she waste her precious sleeping time, she even almost left behind a black eye before withdrawing her hand.
However, Xue Xianyun opened his mouth again, ”Which string is the one I gave you?” She stared at her hand.
Ru Yi pouted slightly. She didn't know that her expression was one of extreme stubbornness. Anyone who saw her would be tempted by her.
Even though she was usually calm and mature, she was actually still only a twelve-year-old girl. Previously, she had tolerated Xue Qianyun a lot because she felt that she was in the wrong. Now that she had done so much and received only indifference instead of a response, it made it difficult for her to accept it.
The corner of Zhao Yun's lips curled up as he stood up. Ever since she took the two beads from his hands, she had purposely forgotten about the soft touch of his fingers …
In fact, Ji Yun really had no impression of those pearls from earlier, and it was not as if the string of beads that was given to him had been rubbed by him all day, so the two beads were really hard to distinguish. He saw that he had no choice but to give up after a quarter-of-an-hour, and could only open his mouth and say, ”I really can't tell.”
This time, her tone of voice was much softer, but it was still a pity that it was Ru Yi's turn to be ungrateful.
Seeing that her eyes were lowered and her long eyelashes were raised, and her expression was still cold, but she was not annoying or infuriating, but instead made people's hearts uncontrollably happy. It also made his heart go soft, so he couldn't help but to stand beside her and whisper again.
