The queen is a little cowardly

Chapter 9 Showing Love

The night was completely dark, and the maid stood under the eaves to replace the burnt candles and put new ones in the lanterns.

The lights of all the courtyards in the Yan Mansion were lit up, dazzling like a lantern festival.

Yan Ru was sitting on the second floor of the attic, looking at the entire mansion, the exquisite lamp was right in front of her eyes, she kept touching the warm lamp wall.

The fire burned the lamp wall very hot. Unlike the time she lived in, there was no electricity or heater here.But life here is far more luxurious than in those days.

Here one tael of silver is used for 800 yuan, which can buy nearly [-] catties of rice. The monthly bill she gets from home every month is about [-] taels of silver, which means that she can have money without doing anything. A salary of around [-].

Yan Gaofu raised his daughter and used her as a pawn.

Yan Ru chuckled, and saw a group of lights approaching from a distance, but it was too far away to see anyone.

After a while, Shi Sheng climbed up to the attic, "Sister."

The girl's footsteps were brisk, and the light in Yan Ru's eyes was slowly lit up. After Shi Sheng approached, a single spark could start a prairie fire.

"Sister, my father let me live in Yan's mansion for a year or so." Shi Sheng was so happy that he barely threw himself on Yan Ru's body.

Yan Ru got up, leaving half of the seat for her, put her hands on her knees, curled her fingers, and couldn't help wrapping around Shi Sheng's waist, "Shi Xiang entered the palace?"

"Go, and bring your brother into the palace."

"Okay, let's go and resettle, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Yan Ru got up and brushed her hands around her waist.

The two returned to the bedroom together, and the maids had already made the bed. After the two stepped in, the door closed automatically.

The whole room is a bit cramped, but the candles are lingering and the fragrance is faint, making it a particularly secluded place.

Shi Sheng lay carelessly on the bed, but his eyes were fixed on Yan Ru, "Do you want more?"

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.Yan Ru smiled, walked closer, and kissed the corner of her soft lips without any warning.

The room was extremely quiet for a moment, the two on the bed hugged each other tightly, the cherry blossoms on Shi Sheng's shoulders were faintly visible, and after a while, the cherry blossoms bloomed.

As soon as Yan Ru closed her eyes, the fragrance from the tip of her nose became inexplicably strong, and the flames in her body burst out, gradually controlling her.

The night was long and they had a lot of time together.

Yan Ru squeezed Shi Sheng's wrist with both hands, fixed her eyes tightly, breathed slowly past the tip of her nose, and pressed the corners of her lips together again.

Humid and hot, with unspeakable restlessness.

Shi Sheng was no longer so nervous, only Yan Ru was in his eyes.

Yan Ru's hand landed on her waist...on her abdomen, and gradually wiped away the red marks.

Then her other hand slowly brought Shi Sheng's hand up, slowly moved it down, and landed on the sensitive place.

Shi Sheng was startled, his face flushed red.

Gradually, she was pulled into the abyss.

****

In the early morning of spring, the sky brightened early, and the maidservants began to clean the courtyard after getting up.There is one more girl in the yard, and there is more work, and they have more things to do.

Early in the morning, Yan Ru got up, dressed quietly, and asked people to move the reclining chair to the yard.

When the early sun shone, she had already lay down, and her whole body was bathed in the sun. The warm light penetrated into her heart, and there was an unstoppable joy in her heart.

Not long after, Yan Gao came.Yan Ru knew that he would come to find him, she was afraid that Sheng would sleep when he was arguing, so she came outside to wait.

In her eyes, she and Yan Gao are just using each other, standing in the center of power, they have to bow to power.

Yan Gao was dressed in ordinary clothes, soaked in officialdom for many years, and his body was stained with an aura that belonged exclusively to power. He sat down on the round stool that Yan Rushi had arranged for him, "You sent Shi Wei to the East Palace last night?"

"Father thinks it's wrong?" Yan Ru's face was expressionless, and the tenderness from last night was no longer in his eyes.

"You did the right thing." Yan Gao often sighed, raising his head and looking up at the sky, "Although I intend to let you be the crown prince, I will not express my support to His Highness the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince seems gentle, but he is extremely sinister in his heart. Your Majesty has a heart." Lixin later suppressed the aura of the imperial concubine and the crown prince."

Water splashed on Yan Ru's fair face, she straightened up slightly, and asked, "Have you checked His Majesty's mind?"

"Tested, His Majesty knew that I was probing, and he didn't even reply, which shows that he was keeping it a secret." Yan Gao was a little helpless, "For so many years, I thought I had mastered the Sacred Heart. I don't want him to be on guard."

Yan Ru didn't have the time to understand his sentimentality, the emperor was neither pedantic nor simple, how could he let the powerful officials know his thoughts.

Yan Gao thinks highly of himself too much.

She didn't poke it, and said calmly: "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable."

"I owe Shi Wei a favor. By the way, did Shi Sheng mention the choice of empress. Your Majesty may have mentioned it to Shi Wei." Yan Gao thought about it, and Shi Wei might know more about the emperor's mind.

The light in Yan Ru's eyes turned cold, "Shi Sheng doesn't know much about the world, how would he know about it? Besides, have you ever thought about it, what happened to the family at that time when there was a princess in the Yan family?"

Over the years, the left and right sides have been in balance. If the Yan family becomes the prince's Yue family, then the balance line will be broken.

In her day, if the balance was lost in the workplace competition, the boss would find the remedy elsewhere.

I don't know how His Majesty the Emperor wants to find him, add an official to Shi Wei?

But the prime minister is the head of the hundred officials, he is equivalent to the general manager of the company. There can be a CEO in the company, but here unless you are crowned king

The position of the vice president is equivalent to today's queen. The emperor and Shi Wei are sworn brothers, so it is impossible for Shi Sheng to be the queen.

Yan Ru quickly abandoned his unrealistic thoughts, and Yan Gao thought of another way of thinking, "If the Yan family produces a concubine, the Shi family can also produce a son-in-law."

"A son-in-law and a princess are not comparable." Yan Ru disagreed with him. Shi Huan had been weak for a long time, and many children from aristocratic families wanted to marry their daughters to him. .

In comparison, King Zhongshan repeatedly confessed his love to Shi Sheng, and Shi Wei's attitude softened a bit.

She tentatively asked, "Princess Zhongshan?"

"The king of Zhongshan will return to the fief after he gets married, which will not help the Shi family." Yan Gao took the lead in vetoing it. The king of Zhongshan is too weak and has nothing but a prince.

"I don't know my daughter." Yan Ru didn't bother to guess any more, the boss was thinking strangely, why not wait for the personnel transfer, "How does father plan to thank Shi Xiang?"

"He pretends to be noble and doesn't accept gifts, and I don't bother to thank him. At worst, I won't quarrel with him when we disagree next time. Treat Miss Shi well at home. I'm afraid the prince won't come over today." There was helplessness in Yan Gao's tone, brother, he was too familiar with Shi Wei's nature for so many years, so he was not good at all.

If you say one, he will say two, without giving any face at all.

Yan Ru frowned: "Did anything else happen last night?"

"Yes, old man Shi scolded the prince so badly that the prince fell ill at night. I heard that he was seriously ill. His Majesty didn't say anything after hearing about it, but instead rewarded old man Shi with an inkstone." Yan Gao envied, old man Shi was fearless, He didn't care what the prince thought of him at all.

If he Yan Gao is a powerful minister, then Wei is the pillar of Qingliu in the court.

"Your Majesty is not a fool." Yan Ru sneered, leaned back, her whole body softened, and said slowly: "Your Majesty knows very well that the relationship between the crown prince and my Yan family may be ruined by such a disturbance. gone."

At the end of the marriage, the chairman still needs to nod and agree. If he is not willing, it is useless for the staff below to make a fuss.

Yan Gao looked up to the sky and sighed, and began to complain about Shi Wei: "It's all the old man Shi's fault, he ruined my good deeds."

"After saving you, you still have to speak ill of others behind your back, uncle, you are too unkind."

A loud voice sounded from behind the two of them, Yan Gao groaned all over, his old face blushed unconsciously, and he coughed dryly, "You haven't had breakfast yet, I'm going back to the study first."

Escape.

Shi Sheng stood at the door, with his hands on his hips, and shouted at Yan Gao's back: "Uncle, I'm going to tell my father."

"A Sheng." Yan Ru stood up and looked at Shi Sheng.

Shi Sheng was wearing Yan Ru's clothes, the neckline was a bit high, just to cover the traces of yesterday.

Wearing her clothes to cover the traces she left when she was happy, the ancient little girl was full of dependence on her.

"I want to eat something. How about I take you out to eat."

Shi Sheng was a little hot, and there was some warm fur on the high collar, which made her feel uncomfortable all over, "I don't want to go out, it's a little hot."

"It's okay, change your clothes, there were a lot of mosquitoes yesterday, I don't want you to be wronged." Yan Ru said to herself, with teasing in her tone.

The servant girl serving in the corridor showed a look of panic. There were mosquitoes in the house, and they didn't clean it up in time.

"No, no..." Shi Sheng blushed and was at a loss for what to do, something would happen when the doctor came.

Yan Ru chuckled, and pulled the bewildered girl to change clothes.The two stayed in the house for a long time before coming out.

Shi Sheng changed into a moon-white double-breasted lotus skirt. Not to mention the slender waist, the marks on the neck were covered by the powder, making it look more white and tender.

Yan Ru changed into a turquoise shirt with large sleeves. Compared to her, she was rather indifferent. In addition to her angular facial features, she exuded an aura of inaccessibility from strangers all over her body.

The two got into the carriage together, walked out of the alley, and the carriage stopped at the entrance after a cup of tea.

"Why did you come out to eat?" Shi Sheng didn't understand what Yan Ru was thinking.

Bustling can be seen everywhere in Shangjing, and there are many people at the street corners, rubbing shoulders.

Yan Ru got out of the carriage slowly, facing the sky, her skin became fairer and more radiant, and her eyelashes fanned lightly, "It's only when you come out to eat that you and I are close."

In her day, this was called 'show affection'.

The author has something to say:

Uncle Huang: There is another saying, show affection and die quickly.

Yan Ru: Shut up!
