cabinet first lady

Chapter 24
Ruan Muyang did not expect that he would be forced to retreat by Zhang Anyu, who was only 14 years old.

The anger and gloom in his eyes startled her.

She finally understood the reason for his disdainful gaze yesterday in the courtyard of the old Shangshu and his wife.

"Fourth brother, you misunderstood." Ruan Muyang said calmly after keeping some distance from him.

"Misunderstanding?" Zhang Anyu smiled disdainfully, took a step closer to her and said, "Then the second sister-in-law, how can such a private thing as a handkerchief fall into someone else's hands and be sent back? Don't say anything to me." Accidentally lost it and someone picked it up and sent it back."

Ruan Muyang was at a loss for words.

In fact, the veil was indeed lost.

In Zhang Anyu's eyes, the way she didn't speak was guilt and confession, which just confirmed all his guesses. "Besides, the extra word 'Zhao' on the handkerchief was added later. I never thought that my second sister-in-law, Hong Xing, would be in such good spirits and emotions when she had sex with her." Zhang Anyu mocked her more and more.

Because of his excitement, he got a little closer. Although there was no one here, Ruan Muyang was still afraid of being seen, so he had to back up a bit, and this time he retreated to the wall.

Since there is nowhere to retreat, there is no retreat.

In Ruan Muyang's eyes, the 14-year-old Zhang Anyu is still a child who has not grown up, so he is naturally more tolerant of him.She said sincerely: "Fourth brother, believe it or not, this veil was left at Ruan's house on the day I returned home. Your second brother was also there that day."

He didn't say it immediately when he found the veil, which shows that he is a measured person.She just hoped that he could listen to his explanation.

Zhang Anyu saw Ruan Muyang's unhurried, calm and calm look when the incident was revealed, and felt that it was dazzling, and he felt even more resentful.Why doesn't this woman even feel ashamed?Why can you be so straightforward and not guilty at all?
At first seeing the words on the handkerchief, Zhang Anyu was only skeptical, until Concubine Ruan sent someone to let Ruan Muyang enter the palace, Zhang Anyu didn't know that the word "Zhao" was the "Zhao" of Xie Zhao, king of Yong'an!She actually communicated with the man secretly!
At that time, it seemed that the ventilation in his heart was blocked, and he was indescribably disappointed and resentful.

He didn't believe a word of her explanation!

Zhang Anyu suddenly laughed.Although his appearance is somewhat similar to Zhang Anyi's, he is completely different from Zhang Anyi's gentle and handsome appearance. He has the smell of a dandy in the capital, and his smile is even more sinister at this time: "Does the second sister-in-law usually look like this?" Dignified and quiet, she is used to being flirtatious, and she is as good as a wife?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "pop".

She actually hit him again.

Zhang Anyu was unprepared for this slap, and was hit over the head.He squinted and licked his lips.

Ruan Muyang trembled with anger.She almost exhausted all her strength in this slap, and her palm was aching.

She didn't expect Zhang Anyu to say such unbearable words!

"You still dare to hit me? Are you used to hitting me?" What kind of demon king is he, Zhang Anyu, when was he slapped by a woman?Also got slapped twice!
Subconsciously raised his hand and wanted to return it, but seeing Ruan Muyang's angry eyes, he laughed lazily again: "You should be glad that I don't hit women."

He should be very angry.Feeling that his gaze fell on his neck, as if he would strangle him in the next moment, Ruan Muyang did not back down: "Before I met my fourth brother, I never hit a man."

Her anger has not dissipated yet, and she said with a cold voice: "Whether the fourth brother believes it or not, I have never done anything wrong to the Zhang family, let alone your second brother. In the future, I will ask the fourth brother to speak with respect." some."

After speaking, she stopped looking at him and walked past him.

Zhang Anyu looked at her straight back, touched the sore spot on his face, and reminded: "The rabbit's tail can't grow. Unless the second sister-in-law did it without anyone noticing it, or when the Dongchuang incident happened, she would definitely call the second sister-in-law." Sister-in-law regrets marrying into the Zhang family."

Seeing Ruan Muyang Leng's face, Fang Fang and Dian Cui were startled.

Dian Cui wanted to ask, but seeing Ruan Muyang's expression, she dared not speak.But the seldom-spoken enamel blinked, as if thinking of something.

Soon it was the day when Ruan Muyang entered the palace.

After dinner early in the morning, Ruan Muyang was accompanied by Zhang Anyi to say goodbye to the old Shangshu and the old lady.

Before leaving the house, Zhang Anyi stopped her.

Ruan Muyang looked puzzled.

Zhang Anyi conjured a pearl hairpin out of nowhere and said, "Madam, you still remember this hairpin. I'll have someone send it to be repaired before it can be repaired."

How could Ruan Muyang not remember?The pearls on this hairpin were pulled out by her on the wedding night.At that time, he picked up the pearl, took away the hairpin and said that he would send it for repair, and she almost forgot it after so long.

The appearance of this pearl hairpin was like a pleasant surprise. Ruan Muyang's originally heavy heart slowly became lighter, and he was still a little soft.She joyfully held the hairpin in her hand, looked at it carefully and said, "Second Lord has a heart."

Looking at the smile on her face, Zhang Anyi's eyes were tender and tender, and he said with a bit of teasing in his tone: "I'll save it for Madam when she sees things and thinks about others in the palace."

Ruan Muyang glared at him, but actually put the hairpin on his body.

Afterwards, the two of them came to the courtyard of the old Shangshu and the old lady.

The old Shangshu and the old lady took care of her again, while Wang and the others pretended to care and said some polite words.

Ruan Muyang glanced over Zhang Anyu, and saw the disdain and mockery in his eyes.

The person sent by the palace to pick her up was already waiting, Ruan Muyang didn't dare to delay any longer, bid farewell to everyone in the Zhang family and got into the carriage.

The carriage slowly left Zhang's house and entered the palace.

Looking at the palace wall gradually becoming clear in front of his eyes, Ruan Muyang pursed his lips, his eyes were solemn.

In the previous life, Ruan Muyang had many opportunities to enter the palace as Princess Yongan, and he often went to pay his respects to his mother-in-law, Concubine Ruan, but Concubine Ruan always treated her indifferently.

"Mrs. Zhang, get out of the car."

Under the reminder of the palace staff, Ruan Muyang got off the carriage and walked into the Yuxiu Palace of Concubine Ruan.

"Folkwomen see Concubine Ruan."

In front of Ruan Muyang is Concubine Ruan, the current favorite concubine of the Holy Majesty, the biological mother of King Yongan Xie Zhao.

After a while of silence, Concubine Ruan finally spoke: "Raise your head and let me have a look."

Ruan Muyang raised his head to meet Concubine Ruan's eyes.

Concubine Ruan is now in her 30s. Because of proper maintenance, the years have not left traces on her face, and the accumulated charm makes her more beautiful. Coupled with that compelling aura, people dare not look directly at her.

She looked at Ruan Muyang, and a smile slowly appeared on her face: "The last time I saw you was quite a few years ago, and it was really a girl's [-]th change, but now your quiet appearance seems to be a different person."

Ruan Muyang did meet Concubine Ruan once when she was in her teens. She was still not the current her at that time, and she hadn't experienced so much.

She became more cautious, and said, "Thank you for your compliment, Madam."

Since Ruan Muyang entered Yuxiu Palace, he kept his eyes fixed, his steps were steady, and his calm and steady appearance was completely unlike that of a person at this age, let alone someone entering the palace for the first time.Concubine Ruan saw it, and there was a little more scrutiny and exploration in her eyes.

She didn't know that her cousin's family had such a daughter!
Marrying into Zhang's family is really like burying a pearl in the soil, which is cheap for them.If such a child is trained properly and arranges a good marriage, they may become a support for their mother and child in the future.

But everything is too late.

Thinking of this, Concubine Ruan couldn't help frowning, her tone became cold: "You should live in Yuxiu Palace these days."

Ruan Muyang nodded in agreement.

She was arranged by the palace people to live in a side hall in Yuxiu Palace.

"Thank you, Eunuch Gao." When they arrived at the side hall, Ruan Muyang winked at Fang Fang, and asked Fang Fang to take out a purse.Inside are ten gold leaves, the dowry she brought from the Ruan family.

Enamel is usually more cautious, this time she only brought her into the palace.

The current eunuch Gao Yan, the chief inspector of ceremonies, is a popular person around the Holy Majesty, but as an eunuch, he has great power, and there is no one who will not fawn on him.He has many "sons" under his command, and the eunuch next to Concubine Ruan is one of Gao Yan's favorite sons, and everyone respectfully calls him "Little Eunuch Gao".

Little Eunuch Gao took the purse, weighed it, and stuffed it into his sleeves. The smile on his face became more and more cordial: "Your Majesty is busy with affairs these days, Mrs. Zhang just needs to live here with peace of mind, and wait for your Majesty to summon her. This Yuxiu Palace You can move around as you like, as long as you don't disturb the purity of your empress."

Ruan Muyang kept his words in his heart, and said with a smile: "Thank you, little Eunuch Gao."

He said that he wanted Ruan Muyang to come into the palace to chat with Concubine Ruan to relieve the boredom, but in fact Concubine Ruan didn't need her to relieve the boredom.A month ago, the empress suddenly fell ill and became bedridden. The majesty handed over all the affairs of the harem to Concubine Ruan.Concubine Ruan was also unwell a while ago because of the many affairs in the harem.

The queen is bedridden, and now the most powerful person in the harem is Concubine Ruan.

Ruan Muyang didn't want to get involved in this harem, and only hoped that the ten days would pass safely.Unexpectedly, she was lucky enough to meet the current Holy Majesty the very night she first entered the palace.

Hearing that the Holy Majesty came to Yuxiu Palace, Ruan Muyang settled in the side hall peacefully.

Today's Emperor Wu, the emperor, was also wise and brave when he was young, but he became suspicious and bloodthirsty when he was old.In recent years, countless officials have been killed in the DPRK and China. Take Ruan Muyang not long ago when he got married, for example, hundreds of local officials were killed because of a single case.

In the last life, Ruan Muyang was really unfamiliar with this father-in-law.

She only knew that the Ruan family had all died unjustly in the previous life.

Not long after the Holy Majesty arrived at Yuxiu Palace, Little Eunuch Gao came to the side hall in person and said that the Holy Majesty summoned her to come over.

Ruan Muyang didn't dare to neglect.

"You are Zhang Laoshangshu's grandson-in-law?" In the main hall of Yuxiu Palace, Emperor Wu in a bright yellow dragon robe looked at Ruan Muyang.

Ruan Muyang replied respectfully: "Return to Your Majesty, the folk woman is right."

"I remember you. At that time, I almost wrote the imperial decree to marry you to King Yong'an. I didn't expect you to marry the grandson of Zhang Lao Shangshu." At this point, Emperor Wu paused, his tone became unpredictable. Get up, "Do you think there is anything wrong with King Yong'an?"
