After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

The tenth day of August.

Early in the morning, Jiang Ruoli was dragged out of bed by Mrs. Jiang.

"Mom, is it necessary to leave so early..." Jiang Ruoli said sleepily.

[I just dreamed of picking up gold, and I was woken up by someone...]

Mrs. Jiang shook her head helplessly.

"Today is your coming-of-age day, so don't be lazy."

It’s okay on weekdays, I just let her do whatever she wants.

Today is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so we must prepare well.

Jiang Ruoli yawned and let a group of maids fiddle with her.

She has to change into several sets of clothes today, so she's just packing up a bit now.

"Li'er, mother has invited the wife of Censor Ning to perform at your coming-of-age ceremony. You will surely have a glorious day today." Madam Jiang said with a smile.

Censor Ning was an upright civil servant with many followers in official circles; Madam Ning came from a scholarly family, and was the best among the ladies in the capital in terms of virtue and talent, and countless women from aristocratic families wanted to invite her to preside over their coming-of-age ceremony.

However, Madam Ning, due to Lord Ning's upright character in the court, never became overly close to other noble families.

The reason why Mrs. Jiang was able to agree to come and celebrate Jiang Ruoli's coming-of-age ceremony was because Jiang Ci'an had helped her catch a thief on the street during the Lantern Festival at the beginning of the year.

Jiang Ruoli was yawning when she heard the three words "Mrs. Ning", which sounded very familiar to her.

However, she was not fully awake yet, and her mind was in a daze. She thought for a long time but could not remember who this Madam Ning was.

Forget it, if I can’t remember, then forget it.

After Madam Jiang had packed up Jiang Ruoli, she hurried to the front yard and greeted the guests outside the door with Duke Jiang.

We have many distinguished guests today and we must not neglect them.

Jiang Ruoli sat in the room bored. She couldn't lie down for fear of wrinkling her clothes, so she just sat stiffly on the chair.

After sitting for a while, Jiang Ruoli couldn't sit still anymore and got up.

"Let's go to the front yard and take a look."

Jiang Ruoli brought the blessed fruit to the front yard. Most of the guests had arrived and were seated.

Jiang Ruoli felt dizzy when she saw so many people. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she saw Xiao Yuyao and Zhang Huaiyun walk in together.

Why did the two of them come together?

Xiao Yuyao walked straight to the backyard and saw Jiang Ruoli standing not far away.

"Pear!"

Xiao Yuyao ran up to her quickly, without any of the dignity and self-possession of a princess.

"Congratulations on your coming of age. This is a gift for you."

Xiao Yuyao stopped and the palace servant behind her quickly presented her with an exquisitely shaped square box.

Jiang Ruoli took it.

Quite heavy.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Jiang Ruoli was naturally very happy to receive Xiao Yuyao's gift.

"Open it and take a look." Xiao Yuyao urged.

Jiang Ruoli was puzzled, but still followed her instructions and opened the box.

As soon as I opened the box, a clear and pleasant music sounded.

Jiang Ruoli was really surprised when she saw the little jade figure rotating in the center of the box.

Wow, there’s a music box here!

Seeing Jiang Ruoli's surprised look, Xiao Yuyao explained in a good mood:

"This is called a self-ming harp. I specially ordered someone to bring it back from Southeast Asia. Do you like it?"

Jiang Ruoli nodded, "Thank you, Princess. I like it very much."

Xiao Yuyao nodded with satisfaction.

The coming-of-age ceremony was about to begin, and the two were about to separate when they heard someone announce:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

Jiang Ruoli looked up.

Then Xiao Yujing walked in under the guidance of Duke Jiang.

At this moment, he exuded the aura of a superior. Compared to the first time Jiang Ruoli met him, he was more mature and stable.

He is becoming more and more like a mature emperor.

Jiang Ruoli thought so.

Feeling Jiang Ruoli's gaze, Xiao Yujing turned his head and looked in the direction of the two people not far away.

When meeting Jiang Ruoli's gaze, the coldness in Xiao Yujing's eyes disappeared and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

Jiang Ruoli smiled back.

After Xiao Yujing sat down, Xiao Yuyao couldn't help shaking her body.

"My brother is getting more and more scary. Why did he laugh just now? It gave me goosebumps all over my body."

Simply terrible!

Jiang Ruoli couldn't help but smile when she saw Xiao Yuyao's timid look.

"The ceremony is about to begin, Princess, please take your seat."

Xiao Yuyao hurried to the banquet.

The auspicious time has arrived and the ceremony of coming of age officially begins.

Under Zanli's guidance, Jiang Ruoli followed the process step by step.

Xiao Yujing sat at the table, staring at the graceful woman on the stage.

She grew up and reached the age of marriage.

There are some things I should tell her.

After one morning, the coming-of-age ceremony finally ended.

Jiang Ruoli ate a few bites of food during the meal and then stood up to leave.

I feel sleepy in spring and tired in autumn. I have been feeling more and more sleepy recently.

She was tired and sleepy and needed a good sleep.

When Xiao Yujing saw her leaving, he declined the wine offered by an official beside him, stood up and followed her quietly.

Jiang Ruoli walked back alone.

Suddenly, a hand reached out from the side and pulled her aside.

"Well!"

Jiang Ruoli exclaimed and leaned against a tree.

When he looked up, he saw Xiao Yufeng's stunning face appear above him.

"Your Highness, you scared me."

Jiang Ruoli patted her chest, looking frightened.

Xiao Yujing touched her head lovingly.

"I'm sorry for scaring Li'er."

Who dares to ask the honorable Crown Prince to apologize?

Jiang Ruoli became even more frightened.

"No, no, I'm not scared at all." She waved her hand quickly to refuse.

Xiao Yujing smiled softly.

As he exhaled, Jiang Ruoli smelled a faint aroma of alcohol.

"Your Highness, have you been drinking?" Jiang Ruoli asked softly.

Xiao Yujing's eyes moved slightly.

Today, several officials toasted him and he drank a few glasses.

"Drink a little."

Xiao Yujing lowered his head and smelled his body. Fortunately, there was no smell.

He looked at Jiang Ruoli.

"Li'er doesn't like it?"

Jiang Ruoli was stunned.

What does she like and dislike?

"no......"

Just as he was about to deny it, Xiao Yujing smiled and said:

"That's what I like."

what?

No.

What does this have to do with her?

Jiang Ruoli raised her hand and scratched her head.

Xiao Yujing pulled her hand down and held her little hand in his.

"Your Highness..." Jiang Ruoli was surprised and confused.

Xiao Yujing didn't say anything, took out an object from his arms and put it in Jiang Ruoli's hand.

Feeling the coolness in her hands, Jiang Ruoli looked down.

There are two palm-sized jade rings, which are tightly held together and cannot be separated unless they are broken.

"It's the Jade Chain!" Jiang Ruoli looked at the jade ring in her hand with surprise.

Xiao Yujing smiled dotingly.

"Like it?"

"like!"

Jiang Ruoli couldn't let go of the jade rings, but found a word "pear" on the inside of one of the jade rings.

She looked carefully and found that it was her character "梨".

"this......"

Jiang Ruoli looked at Xiao Yujing in surprise.

"Could it be that this jade chain was made by His Highness himself?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yujing smiled but said nothing.

He really did it.
