After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Chapter 14
After the concubine left, it took a long time to see Jiang Huaiyang.

If it was an ordinary time, Ruan Yuyi was taking a nap at this moment, lying on the stone table, she was sleepy waiting, her eyelids were heavy, her head was almost knocking on the table bit by bit.

Realizing that the son was coming, she stood up.

She bowed sleepily, and she couldn't exert much strength when she just woke up, and she was limp.

In Jiang Huaiyang's eyes, it was another scene.She lowered her head, her temple hair was slightly disheveled, her white and slender neck was completely exposed, and she looked defenseless.

While being dazzled by the whiteness, he moved his eyes up and landed on her empty, bare earlobes.

There is indeed something missing.

"If you're sleepy, what are you doing here?" He rolled his eyes and said coldly, "Have you seen the concubine?"

"Yes," Ruan Yuyi smiled, "Your Majesty also praised my mung bean cake as delicious, would you like to try it, Your Highness?"

Jiang Huaiyang randomly divided the food box with a glance, it seems that she still doesn't know that she has found the wrong person.The mind is so unbearable, but I don't know how to inquire carefully.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Ruan Yuyi took it as his acquiescence, and opened the food box by herself.

Jiang Huaiyang was a little surprised to see that half of the pastries inside were missing and half were stacked neatly.In his impression, the concubine always liked salty food, so she seldom used sweets like mung bean cake.

She rolled up her sleeves with one hand, picked up a piece of pastry with the other, and brought it to his lips.While walking, the wrist bells jingled.

With the pastry on his lips, smelling the fragrance of beans, even Jiang Huaiyang was also aroused his appetite.

He glanced at the delicate skin at the neckline of the woman in front of him, looking up, there were small and rosy lips, and a pair of clear and moist eyes looked straight at him, full of anticipation.

Jiang Huaiyang stabilized her disordered breathing, clasped her wrist and pushed it out, "No, I don't like sweets." He never used these things very much, not because he really disliked them, but because others saw him seldom touched them, so naturally they thought they were sweets. Is not happy.

Mu Xiang's craftsmanship has always been nothing to say, she picked up the pastry and thought about it for a while, thinking of the situation of the Cheng family, she didn't hesitate, licked the pastry, and leaned forward.

The tips of her ears turned red quickly, and after a while, her cheeks seemed to be burning too.

"Your Highness," she forgot to look into the other's indifferent eyes, "can you keep your mouth shut?"

His eyes were so deep that he seemed to be able to swallow the life in front of him.

Compared to the woman in the dream who blushed after being teased a little bit, it was obvious that she lived deep in the boudoir of the Red Mansion, but she seemed to know a lot about these things, where did she learn it from?

The person in front of him looked coquettish, and he admitted that he was never a gentleman, and that dreams were ahead, so he couldn't be completely indifferent.

Jiang Huaiyang snorted softly, "Naturally."

He added, "Speaking of which, have we met each other before?" As soon as he said this, he himself felt something was wrong, he lived in the palace all year round, if he had seen it before, how could he not have the slightest impression of this face.

Ruan Yuyi only had this thought in the past few months, she didn't get close to him after a long time of admiration, so she didn't have the impression of seeing him in her memory.She raised her eyes from the movement of wiping her fingertips, very dazed, "What did you say, Your Highness?"

"That's it."

Jiang Huaiyang took out a small palm-sized wooden box from his sleeve, and opened it, "Since you bothered to make pastries, I naturally have to return the gift."

She put away the veil and took a closer look, and saw that it was the pair of earrings inlaid with gold thread and pearls in Linglong Pavilion in the morning. He didn't know why it was such a coincidence that he just took out this pair.

Cakes and earrings are not equivalent, she vaguely felt that this expensive pendant was not exchanged for a few snacks, but for something else.

She doesn't want to accept it.This is fundamentally different from her purpose, she didn't come here for glory.

For her, it would only be a humiliation.

"Thank you, Your Highness, but I can't take it." Ruan Yuyi thought for a while, and still used the previous excuse, "I don't have pierced ears. Please take it back."

The person in front of her laughed shortly, which sounded like she was mocking her for pretending to be aloof and overreaching, "There is no reason to take back the gift you gave out since ancient times, so I will reward you with another gift." Yes."

Ruan Yuyi didn't understand what these words meant for a while, she was forcibly dragged by a powerful big hand, and she fell into a hard embrace.

He clamped her jaw and neck with his forearm, restrained her firmly, and pinched her small earlobe, and pressed the needle point on the earring to it.

Shocked, she struggled subconsciously, but she couldn't push Jiang Huaiyang's hand away anyway, she was like a butterfly struggling in vain.

Until a cold threat came from her ear, warm air sprayed on the side of her ear.

"If you move around again, I can't guarantee whether this thing will get stuck." He said in a low voice, word by word, like a poisonous snake spewing out letters, "Earbones, cheeks, eyes..."

Ruan Yuyi's movements weakened, and her hands were weakly pressed against his forearm.The earrings, which are shining brightly against the light, are spikes. If you insist on breaking free, the result will only be to tear the butterfly wings.

In the silence, the needles of the earrings fell straight down, ruthlessly and accurately piercing in the right place.

She felt a pain in her earlobe, and hummed uncontrollably, short and restrained.

Jiang Huaiyang picked up the earrings, the oriental pearls were round and white, hanging on the slightly red ears, setting off each other, making the person in front of her look extremely delicate, as if she couldn't bear even a little pain.

Sure enough.

He didn't give Ruan Yuyi a long chance to breathe, he pulled her chin, and quickly put on the other side as well.

Feeling that he finally loosened his strength, she broke free from Jiang Huaiyang's arms.When she turned to look at him again, she burst into tears, as if she had been greatly bullied, and she was really wronged.

She was so painful that even the sides of her ears were numb, and she faintly realized that the fairy charm was just a cover-up skin, and what was wrapped underneath was the darkness she had never touched.

Now she doesn't care about the son or the son, and glared at Jiang Huaiyang bitterly.

It's a pity that there are teardrops, which are really not threatening, more like a look of anger.

"Go back and deal with it yourself, don't let it heal." He stroked her earlobe and whispered, "Don't take it off without my permission."

Although he couldn't see the face of the person in the dream clearly, he had a feeling—that the expression of the person in front of him was very similar to it.

After that, Jiang Huaiyang didn't make things difficult for her anymore, he just let her sit on one side while he flipped through the scrolls, not asking her to do anything, and ignoring her.

Ruan Yuyi stayed next to him in a state that she had never imagined. When the pages of the book were turned, only the occasional birdsong rang in her ears, and the rest was quiet.

From time to time, she took a sneak look at Jiang Huaiyang, recalling the past few days, and found that he was not as unrestrained as she imagined, but instead showed a kind of calmness, or depression.

Seeing that he was watching seriously, she would carefully ask him what he was looking at.

Jiang Huaiyang was undeniably different from when he was piercing the earrings before, and he returned to his usual coolness.He didn't seem to be annoyed by her staying by his side, and even occasionally when he was in a good mood, he would answer one or two of her questions.

It's just that she has never heard of the title of the book that the son said, and it doesn't seem like an idle book.

When she looked away and stared blankly at the little creature passing by by chance, Jiang Huaiyang would glance at her from time to time, so that the speed of browsing was slower than usual.

Afterwards, seeing that the sky was getting darker, he let her go back.

The East Wing of Cheng Mansion.

After returning to the yard, Ruan Yuyi was able to deal with the pierced ears.

After listening to Mu Xiang's statement, Mu Ling exclaimed in a low voice, "It hurts so much! I remember when I was young, the slave's mother took beans and rubbed the slave's ears until it became numb before she got the needle. Your Royal Highness It's too stupid."

Things are valuable things, but this way of giving—

Ruan Yuyi was in severe pain at the moment, and she was sleepy and silent.

Mu Xiang prepared spirits and a small amount of tea leaves, "Over there at the maidservant's house, the girls have their ear holes pierced, and they wipe them with spirits from time to time, so it will heal very quickly."

She carefully took out the earrings for Ruan Yuyi, then dipped the handkerchief in the wine and wiped it lightly.

While wiping, he looked at her expression and saw that she was knitting her delicate eyebrows, her eyes were tightly closed, and she relaxed her movements even more.

"Miss," Mu Xiang said with deliberation, "I didn't feel it before, seeing the prince today, I'm afraid it's a bad relationship. Otherwise, let's change..."

Ruan Yuyi shook her head vigorously, her voice muffled, "Auntie is pressing so hard, I'm afraid there's not much time left, and you've seen the red silk outside. Once you've got your feet on the ground, in a few more days, when he's forgotten about my existence never mind."

"When the time comes," she looked up at Mu Xiang Mu Ling, "we'll move out of the mansion, and we won't have anything to do with the Cheng family anymore." She smiled, her eyes bright, as if she had crushed all the stars in the sky and was greedy by the gods. All the ground is dotted inside.

Mu Xiang knew that she still cared about Cheng Xingqiu's affairs to some extent, so she didn't say any more, and continued to move her hands, picking out two thinner tea stalks, and put them on for her.
