Chapter 13 Toffee
When I went to Linglong Pavilion, I didn't see the shopkeeper, only a waiter lowered his head to wipe the jade.

Seeing the guests coming, he didn't raise his head, and said indifferently, "The shopkeeper has something to leave, what's your business?"

Ruan Yuyi was not annoyed at being neglected, "I'm here to pick up the bracelet that Mrs. Cheng ordered here."

"Please go back, where to put the custom-made jewelry, only our shopkeeper knows." The guy explained.

She was about to say something more when the sound of footsteps behind her was mixed with the muffled sound of hard objects hitting the ground, from far to near.

"Girl, I'm here to fetch it for you."

She looked back and saw Liu Nanjun walking slowly with a cane, if he ignored the awkward walking posture due to his lameness, it would be a kind of extravagance.

She was wondering when she heard the waiter call out respectfully, "Boss, you are back."

Ruan Yuyi looked at him in surprise.

Liu Nanjun nodded, walked casually into the side door, and after a while, came out with a wooden box.

"Check it out." He opened the box and showed it to her.

The jade beads on this bracelet are round and plump, of excellent color, and it really lives up to its reputation, no wonder my aunt hurriedly asked her to pick it up.

However, what Ruan Yuyi didn't know was that the reason why this jewelry shop had grown so large that it became famous all over the capital was because the new emperor secretly supported it. Information from all parties.

And these jewelry are also made by the artisans raised in the palace, but for the convenience of sale, the palace's mark is not engraved on it.

Ruan Yuyi put away her things, and said with a light smile, "I don't think you are the shopkeeper of this shop." Perhaps because of the businessman, Liu Nanjun always had a smile on his face, which made her relax unconsciously when talking to him.

He solved another problem for her. If he hadn't happened to arrive, she might not be able to get her aunt's earring today, and she didn't know what to say when she went back.

"I didn't expect the girl to come to my place." Liu Nanjun opened his eyes and said nonsense, he never expected that he just followed her all the way, and he stopped thinking about closing the shop and having fun, so he wondered which family this beauty is from .

He thought about it, his eyes wandered back and forth on the jewelry displayed on the showcase, and then he took out a pair of gold thread inlaid oriental pearl earrings, and handed them to her, "This jewelry is just right for you."

There is no reason why Linglong Pavilion's shot is not top-grade. This Dongzhu is rare, but it is so round and white, as if it is covered with a soft white light.

Ruan Yuyi really likes it, but she has no intention of selling it. After all, she lives in Cheng's house, and her monthly money is given by her aunt, which is really limited.

She was embarrassed to say that she did not have enough money, so she shook her head.

Knowing that she had misunderstood, Liu Nanjun added, "I saw that I was destined to be a girl, so I thought of giving it to you."

In fact, he had selfish intentions, giving her a favor would give her a reason to see each other in the future.

"How can I get this?" Ruan Yuyi didn't know what he was thinking, but still refused, "Besides, I have never pierced my ears, so tell me where to wear them."

Normally speaking, girls would have their ear holes pierced when they were young. Usually, they would use ordinary embroidery needles, bake them with fire, and start directly.When earrings are not worn, they are blocked with tea stems to prevent them from festering or closing.

Her mother wanted to wear it for her too, but she was still young at that time, and she heard from someone that the needle was going to be poked back and forth in the ear, and she was so frightened that she couldn't stop crying. Ken is obedient.

In the end, it was the elder brother of the Ruan family who felt sorry for his sister and stopped his mother, so he gave up.

Liu Nanjun didn't believe it at first, he had never seen a woman who didn't have her ears pierced, so she leaned forward to have a look.

Not really.

Seeing that she really didn't want to accept it, she didn't force her anymore.

Because Ruan Yuyi still had to take Cheng Rui to the pharmacy, she didn't dare to delay any longer, so she said goodbye.

After watching her leave gracefully, Jiang Huaiyang paced out of the room by the side door. He picked up the pair of Dongzhu earrings that he couldn't give away, fiddled with them in his hands, smiled suddenly, and his eyes were heavy.

Liu Nanjun didn't know if he was planning something, but he always felt that something was wrong with that girl.

"Your Majesty..." Liu Nanjun suddenly remembered his order, and changed his words, "My lord, do you know that woman just now?"

People can't recognize it, but the small ringtones come into his dreams frequently, he wants to find out what is the relationship between her and the woman in the dream, and why he falls into a dream that is so real that it seems to have happened.

Jiang Huaiyang withdrew his gaze, and answered irrelevant questions, "I'm annoyed by Li An, I'm here to ask for some peace."

Liu Nanjun knew that he was sent here, and led him to the side room to settle him down. He secretly sighed, Prime Minister Li is not easy to be an official.

It was already afternoon when I got sick, got some medicine, and went to the temple again. The sun dispelled the coolness of the morning, and it was like a huge lamp, illuminating everything everywhere.

Although the sun is not considered to be poisonous at the moment, Mu Xiang still held an umbrella for Ruan Yuyi and carried a double-layered food box with some delicate pastries inside.

However, it was not made by Ruan Yuyi himself, but by Mu Xiang, which is the flavor of Jiangnan.

Mu Xiang persuaded her to let Ruan Yuyi do it herself, so that the prince could know her intentions.

She felt that there was no need to spend such effort, they were all cakes, not bad, and the prince was not familiar with her, so how could she tell that she was unwilling to taste it, so she just asked Mu Xiang to go to the dining room of Cheng's mansion to get some.

Seeing that she couldn't resist her, Mu Xiang decided to do it herself.

Seeing a luxuriously dressed old lady in the courtyard, when she came out of the Buddhist hall, Ruan Yuyi once thought she had come to the wrong place, but then she thought again, this should be the grandmother of the eldest son.

She stepped forward and bowed obediently and cleverly, "I have seen the empress dowager."

The hairpin's pearls swayed slightly with her movements, she lowered her eyes, under the bright light, her skin was as white as transparent.

Concubine Tai took a look at her, understood something, smiled gently, and raised her hand to signal her to stand up.

The rain and dew on the new emperor's face are just a way to deceive the courtiers, but she knows better than the Queen Mother whether he has really had contact with those women.

His biological mother was a palace maid who died earlier on the delivery bed, leaving the little prince alone. He grew up under the eyes of white eyes since he was a child, so he developed a gloomy temperament.

A few months ago, he personally beheaded the second brother who initiated the palace change under the cold sword.

The blood spattered and stained his cheeks and brocade robe. Looking back on this bloody appearance, I still feel horrified.

The second prince tampered with the palace banquet, causing several princes, including the old emperor, to be poisoned and died because there was no antidote.

Due to the serious casualties of the royal family, this became the most tragic palace change in the history of Wu Kingdom.

Except for King Yu who was far away in the fiefdom, and King Jing who refused to take care of his body and stay in the mansion survived, there was one other person who survived, and that was Jiang Huaiyang who miraculously recovered the next day and appeared in the palace.

After he took over the throne, he began to secretly rectify the government and the opposition, eliminating dissidents.The empress dowager was ordered to confine her for a month because of her uterine changes, and the other concubines of the former dynasty who survived the chaos were also in a bad situation.

Perhaps the child still remembered the food and kindness she gave her when she was a child, so she respected her and took care of her a lot on weekdays.

The concubine didn't know that Ruan Yuyi slipped in while avoiding the guards. Seeing that the woman in front of her was not blocked, she naturally thought that she was the new emperor's favorite, and she finally felt at ease, thinking that she didn't need to worry about this matter at all.

The more she looked at Ruan Yuyi, the more she felt satisfied, she nodded repeatedly, "Okay, good boy." She took Ruan Yuyi's delicate hands.

Ruan Yuyi was a little overwhelmed by the concubine's enthusiasm, her hands were grabbed, she didn't twitch or shake back.

At this time, the concubine noticed the food box in Muxiang's hand, "Is this what you brought for that child? It's really thoughtful."

She glanced sideways and saw that the other party was talking about those pastries, so she took them from Mu Xiang, opened them and presented them to the concubine, "Try it, this is a craft from my hometown, you may not have tasted it before."

The concubine picked up a piece, and the mung bean cake was made so small that it fit into one bite, "It looks like the style on the Jiangnan side." When she was a daughter, she was from the Jiangnan family, and she never went back since she entered the palace.

Ruan Yuyi chuckled and nodded in agreement.

The concubine missed it in her heart, so she used more.

"Ms. Taifei, may I ask His Highness who has offered incense in this Buddhist hall recently?"

She looked at the room behind her. There was still a lamp burning inside, and the light outside could only extend to the altar.

"It's a heroic spirit of my Dawu," Concubine Tai said with a calm and distant expression, "he died fighting against foreign enemies a few years ago."

Because of his close relationship with Jiang Huaiyang, she also knew something.If this person is still alive, if he wants to come to that palace change, there will be fewer dead souls under the sword, and less crying.

Ruan Yuyi's heart skipped a beat, remembering that her elder brother's life was also forced to be terminated in the bloody battle a few years ago.

The tip of her nose was sour, and heavy thoughts flooded her heart.

If only she could do something for this Heroic Spirit.

"Son, what's your name?"

Ruan Yuyi bowed, and replied, "My little girl's surname is Ruan, and I take the word 'Yuyi' from 'Binghua Yuyi'."

The concubine smiled kindly, "You have to get along well with him." After saying that, she said she had something to do and left.

Ruan Yuyi stood in the courtyard, a little dazed.

Get along well?She was just playing some inconspicuous tricks, trying to use the name of the son to avoid the storm, how could she bear such a solemn entrustment.
