The imperial concubine bows down to me

As expected by Du Qinning, Xue Ruoyu followed Liu Shuyan out of the side hall crying before the game was over.She fell behind Liu Shuyan about a foot or two away, her cheeks were full of tears, and the wings of her nose opened and closed as she sobbed involuntarily, just like a crying child.

As Shen Zhi and Du Qining got closer, Xue Ruoyu stretched out her hand to cover her nose and mouth with the back of her hand, and her walking speed slowed down a lot, as if she didn't want them to see how pitiful and ridiculous she is now appearance.

Seeing Shen Zhi's gaze falling behind her, Du Qinning paused for a moment, then withdrew her hand that was about to make a move, and looked towards the side where Liu Shuyan and Xue Ruoyu came.

"Qinning, go and see Miss Xue." Seeing how sad she was, Shen knew that his worries had finally happened.

"Okay." Du Qinning turned around, nodded to Shen Zhi, put the chess pieces back in the altar, and got up to go to Xue Ruoyu.Meeting Liu Shuyan head-on, Du Qinning bowed to her, and when she stood up again, Xue Ruoyu was nowhere to be seen behind Liu Shuyan.

It turned out that Xue Ruoyu couldn't think about it for a while, and didn't want Du Qinning to see her jokes, so she ran towards her dormitory.Seeing this, Du Qinning quickly chased after her.

Xue Ruoyu's pace was not as fast as Du Qinning's. She had just stepped into the door and walked a few steps before Du Qinning had already caught up with her.

"Miss Xue, what's the matter?" Du Qinning strode forward to block Xue Ruoyu. Xue Ruoyu moved left and right to rush over, but was stopped by Du Qinning.

Now, Xue Ruoyu not only didn't answer Du Qinning's question, but felt that she was meddling in her business, and shouted at her, "I want you to! Get out of the way!"

Seeing that Xue Ruoyu had no intention of colliding again, Du Qinning lowered her arms, and then said: "No, I was ordered by the prince to comfort Miss Xue, if I let you go, I would be disobedient. "

"Hmph, I think you just came to see my jokes, right? You have been scolding me before, but now I am rejected by sister Wen Shi, are you happy? Are you very happy?!" Xue Ruoyu was so angry She stretched out her hand and pushed Du Qinning's shoulder several times, but her strength was too weak, and it fell on Du Qinning's body, which was not even as good as a tickle.

"I... We have no grievances, how could I want to see you laughing? If you have something to say, we can find a solution together. But if you keep crying like this, the problem can't be solved If you don't talk about the progress, others will think you're just a crying little kid." Although he knew why Xue Ruoyu was crying, Du Qinning still pretended not to know and persuaded.

"Think about it, especially someone as outstanding as the Grand Master, how can he please a cowardly and crying child?"

After hearing Du Qinning's words, although Xue Ruoyu still couldn't stop the two lines of tears streaming down her face, her sobbing was indeed much quieter.She tried her best to restrain herself and pursed her lips. She knew in her heart that what Du Qinning said was very reasonable, but because Du Qinning always blamed her on weekdays, she still couldn't help but replied: "You are the little cry Pack the kids!"

Xue Ruoyu calmed down a lot. Du Qinning looked around, saw no one was there, lowered his voice, and asked knowingly, "What's the matter? Did you make it clear to the Grand Master that she rejected you? "

Xue Ruoyu lowered her head and did not answer, sobbing softly, which was considered a tacit consent.

"I told you a long time ago..." Du Qinning originally wanted to persuade her to give up, but as soon as these words were uttered, Xue Ruoyu's tears, which had been suppressed with great difficulty, quickly burst out again.

This gave Du Qinning a headache.Growing up so big, she has never comforted a crying girl. Even Shen Zhi, who used to cry a lot, was coaxed by Wei Qian'er herself most of the time.For the rest of the time, it was enough for her to just accompany her silently.

Now, Xue Ruoyu not only wants to cry, but is not as persuasive as Shen Zhi used to be.In a moment of desperation, Du Qinning actually blurted out: "I mean, the grand master treats you very well on weekdays, and the reason for rejecting you is probably because her current status is not suitable, and you are not mature enough to think about what she wants. Think. Miss Xue, instead of crying here, why not spend more time improving yourself, and when the time is right, aren’t these things that can be done naturally?”

Hearing this, Xue Ruoyu immediately put back the tears hanging from the corners of her eyes: "Yes, mature... If Sister Wen Shi is just testing whether I have... perseverance, then I will give up on myself like this, no Will it let...will let Sister Wen Shi down?"

"Dumb, you're right. I can't just express my love to Sister Wen Shi, I also want to make myself better and do what I can for her." After finishing speaking, Xue Ruoyu burst into laughter with relief When he came out, Du Qinning was stunned.

How did you recover... so quickly?

Now Xue Ruoyu was happy, but Du Qinning began to worry again.She didn't expect Xue Ruoyu to figure it out so quickly, she just said it casually.If Xue Ruoyu really listened to her, not only did he not give up the idea of ​​pursuing Liu Shuyan, but instead regarded Liu Shuyan's rejection of her as Liu Shuyan's expectation for her growth, then all the things he did before, including Liu Shuyan's explicit rejection of her today , Isn't it all for nothing?

In that case, she would be guilty of a great crime.

In this way, Xue Ruoyu thought about Liu Shuyan's attitude in his heart, and predicted the possible development of the next situation, while Du Qinning took advantage of Xue Ruoyu not seeing her, reached out and grabbed her groin. Mouth.

"Dumb, thank you very much!" As he said that, Xue Ruoyu suddenly stretched out his hand and clasped his fist to pat Du Qinning.

But this time, Du Qinning was pinching his own face with great self-blame, unexpectedly, he lowered his eyes to look in the direction Xue Ruoyu was hitting, and was too late to block it.

When the fist landed on the chest, Du Qinning and Xue Ruoyu felt the atmosphere around them freeze instantly, and they both froze.

After a while, Du Qinning was the first to react and took a step back. Xue Ruoyu also withdrew her hand, opened her mouth wide and asked in disbelief, "Are you... a woman?"

Du Qinning himself is not fat, but also a martial arts practitioner, with a great figure, even if Xue Ruoyu is ignorant of the world, other reasons can't fool her.The evidence is conclusive, the matter has come to this point, and this is not a fatal event in itself, so Du Qinning could only nod his head: "His Royal Highness and Grand Master are aware of this matter, Miss Xue don't want to mention it to anyone else. .”

"Oh~ let me tell you, why do you care so much about your little Highness...so that's the case..." Xue Ruoyu looked at Du Qinning meaningfully, no one would have thought that she who smiled so brightly was crying so much not long ago Pear blossoms with rain.

All the unhappiness just now seemed to be forgotten by her.

On the other side, Liu Shuyan retreated from the servants, and just finished talking with Shen Zhi about the incident.In fact, it was nothing more than that after Shen Zhi and Du Qinning left, Xue Ruoyu forced her to the wall and expressed his heart to her, but Liu Shuyan refused, pushed her away, and told her a lot of big and small things. reason.It's just that she only told Shen Zhi the general process, as for some things, she didn't tell Shen Zhi in detail.

Being so bold, it seems that earlier today Xue Ruoyu might have made up his mind to break the boat.Being rejected under such circumstances, the trauma in her heart should not be underestimated.

But it is impossible for Liu Shuyan and Shen Zhi to go to comfort him personally, so they can only entrust this important task to Du Qinning.

"Grand Concubine, why don't we go over and have a look too?" After hearing this, Shen didn't know how to evaluate, so he could only divert his attention, "Although Qinning passed by, she and Miss Xue usually don't know much about each other. They get along well, Gu is also afraid that the two of them will quarrel again at this time, which will add fuel to the fire."

After living together for more than ten days, they still have feelings. Apart from feeling guilty towards Xue Ruoyu, Shen Zhi still really wants her well in his heart.

"Alright." Liu Shuyan thought for a while, then nodded, and the two of them also got up and walked towards the side they had just gone to.

Therefore, when the two of them reached the door and could see the situation inside the door, what they saw was the following scene: Xue Ruoyu leaned in front of Du Qinning, although she couldn't see her expression clearly and couldn't hear her clearly. What is she talking about, but judging from her cheerful and teasing tone and flying movements, it can be seen that she should be in a good mood.As for Du Qinning, she could vaguely see a blushing face. When she saw Shen Zhi and Liu Shuyan, she suddenly looked a little nervous, and immediately distanced herself from Xue Ruoyu.

"It seems that we don't need to go any further. Let Qin Ning handle this matter." After finishing speaking, Liu Shuyan turned around and went back the same way he came.

Hearing this, Shen Zhi quickly turned back and followed her.It stands to reason that both Shen Zhi and Liu Shuyan should be happy for them when they saw this situation, but the expression on Liu Shuyan's face was the same as when he just came, and Shen Zhi didn't know whether Liu Shuyan was happy or worried at this time.

As for Xue Ruoyu, she was still a little puzzled when she saw Du Qinning stepping back. It wasn't until Du Qinning stared behind her for a long time that she realized that someone should have come over.But when she turned her head to look, there was indeed no one there.

"Stupid? What are you looking at? Oh~ Could it be to prevaricate me, to divert my attention?"

Sighing lightly, Du Qinning's face darkened, and he shook his head helplessly: "It's nothing. In short, you just don't want to reveal my identity to others. It doesn't matter what you think about the rest."

Going back to the pavilion and sitting down again, facing the calm Liu Shuyan, Shen Zhi hesitated for a while, originally wanted to ask Liu Shuyan if he was angry, but when he said something else, he changed to something else.

"Grand Concubine, if nothing happens, can we have another game?" She said, holding up a finger and shaking it in front of her face.

Hearing this, Liu Shuyan looked carefully at the layout on the chessboard, took a few breaths of silence, and shook his head: "No need, let's finish this game of chess with His Highness when Qinning comes back, and the concubine will accompany you another day." Your Highness."

After a pause, she raised her eyes to look at Shen Zhi again, and said softly: "The concubine will go out of the palace soon, no matter what happens, Your Highness must not let Ruoyu go to the Penglai Palace to find the concubine."

Go out of the palace?Hearing these three words, Shen Zhi's eyes lit up immediately.

After staying in the palace for several years, although Shen Tianhe did not restrict Shen Zhi's entry and exit, she still only left the imperial palace and the East Palace a handful of times.For one thing, since she became sensible, although she usually doesn't have any government affairs to deal with, her homework is very heavy every day. When it's her turn to rest, she stays in the East Palace, playing chess and listening to music to relax. I don't have the energy to play outside the palace.Secondly, she felt that there was no one close to her to accompany her, and Du Qinning placed too much emphasis on the status of monarchs and ministers, and secular etiquette, and it was not good to be a playmate. Being lonely, it would be easier to just stay in the East Palace.

But now it is rare to have this opportunity, Shen Zhi was also moved.Coupled with the matter between Cai Cai and Xue Ruoyu, Shen Zhi felt that Liu Shuyan would be in a bad mood to some extent, and going out to play was also a good way to relax.

So, she blinked her eyes and said tentatively: "Miss Xue and Qin Ning will not be bored if they stay together. Qin Ning can keep an eye on her, and she will not wander around."

After finishing speaking, seeing Liu Shuyan nodded, Shen Zhi also heaved a sigh of relief, and continued: "I have heard that the night market in the capital is prosperous, but I have never seen it before. I have nothing to do today. If the imperial concubine comes back late, I will not delay the imperial concubine's work. If so, can the noble concubine take the orphan out with her?"

"The concubine is just going to the concubine's mansion, and there is nothing else to do. If His Highness wants to go, you can go with me." Liu Shuyan agreed quickly, which made him worry about whether going out with her would affect her Shen Zhi, who was doing business, was completely relieved.

Hearing this, Shen Zhi rarely smiled: "Thank you, Concubine."

"Then if your highness is fine now, the concubine will go back and change into comfortable clothes, and come back later to look for your highness. Your highness should take advantage of this time to find an opportunity to talk to Qin Ning about this."

"Okay." Shen Zhi responded, and Liu Shuyan got up to resign.Shen Zhi also stood up with her, "Send the Grand Master alone."
