The heroine who wears a book is always teasing me

Or being awakened, Xu Nuan stared at Yin Ruoyue in front of her with wide eyes. This brow and expression are so realistic, how could it be a dream!

Only then did Xu Nuan slow down, seeing Yin Ruoyue's weak posture, his heart softened again, and hesitantly asked: "You...why are you here?"

It was only now that Xu Nuan realized that his voice was still very dry and hoarse, so he closed his mouth again for fear of infecting Yin Ruoyue.

"Of course I'm here to visit the princess."

Yin Ruoyue distanced herself and took a deep breath, as if she had calmed down.

Seeing Yin Ruoyue's calmness, Xu Nuan couldn't ask any more questions, and turned his head to see that it was not yet dawn outside, so he thought it should be the time to go to court.

The candle that had been shining for most of the night was almost at its end, and the candle light was weak. Yin Ruoyue was facing the candle, although her face was indifferent, but Xu Nuan couldn't move her eyes from her exquisite facial features.

Obviously there was a big quarrel in this Yuzhao Palace a few days ago, thanks to what I said at the beginning, it is not easy for Yin Ruoyue to come to visit now.

Seeing that Yin Ruoyue really didn't move at all, Xu Nuan didn't know how to speak, but her throat felt uncomfortable, and she couldn't help coughing softly.

Xu Nuan hurriedly reached out and picked up the handkerchief on the side and covered her mouth. She wanted to lie on her side for relief, but she didn't want to cough even more anxiously. Her throat hurt so badly that she couldn't even speak.

The back was patted suddenly, Xu Nuan was helped to sit up, Yin Ruoyue carefully handed the tea to her mouth, Xu Nuan took a sip hesitantly, and said after her complexion calmed down a bit: "It's nothing serious for me. It's almost time to go to court, so don't miss your business."

Yin Ruoyue did not let go, put the teacup aside, stretched her arms around Xu Nuan, held Xu Nuan's palm tightly, and said in a very low voice: "The shop heard from Fu'er that the princess has been handed over to Zhou Xia."

The hand touching the palm was astonishingly cold, Xu Nuan clasped her hand tightly and responded, "Yes."

"Then... the princess told me like that at the beginning, but now she is determined to marry Zhou Xia, don't you feel cruel?"

Xu Nuan, whose whole body was tightly embraced by Yin Ruoyue, turned her head to see Yin Ruoyue's eyes were dim, and her expression was extremely sad.

"Today I will ask the princess this question. If the princess has no self in her heart, why bother with me in the other courtyard? Could it be that she is waiting for me to send the princess safely into the palace?"

Yin Ruoyue forced her, even her hands covering Xu Nuan became stronger.

Xu Nuan frowned and called, "It hurts! Let go."

"Is the princess in pain?" Yin Ruoyue asked with a chuckle, although the strength in her hand was much weaker after all, her eyes were a little cold.

"Now that I think about it, how could the princess really agree with the fact that she prefers female sex? If I think about how she coaxed me back then, it was just a show."

Seeing that Yin Ruoyue's words became more and more unpleasant, Xu Nuan broke away from Yin Ruoyue's arms and said with a pale face in anger:

"If you think of me that way, why come to see me?"

"Princess, is this admitting to deceiving me?" Yin Ruoyue turned sideways, bent down, and frivolously touched Xu Nuan's cheek with her index finger.

It's a pity that Xu Nuan was so dragged down by the illness that he didn't have the energy to quarrel with Yin Ruoyue. He avoided Yin Ruoyue's protruding hand, leaned half on the round pillow, and said pantingly: "When I was poisoned, I stepped into Yan with half my life. Prince, how could you still think of making false promises with you and planning the future?"

"Obviously you don't believe me. Even though it has been several months, you are more suspicious. You already have your own ideas in your mind. How can I explain it to you?"

Or when Xu Nuan said so many words suddenly and violently, Yin Ruoyue was a little unresponsive, and stared blankly at Xu Nuan without saying a word.

It was getting brighter outside the window, and the inside of the hall was getting brighter too. The candles on the other side had also burned to the end, and the candles were weak.

Xu Nuan held back his cough, covered his mouth with his hands, and calmed down before speaking:

"Today I will tell you that I have never lied to you in the past, especially when it comes to feelings. If you don't believe me, please also think clearly that Zhou Xia has never been the point of dispute between you and me. I have said many times that I and Zhou Xiaqing Clearly, mistrust is what's at the heart of where we're at."

Yin Ruoyue looked at Xu Nuan puzzledly and asked, "What in this world do I not trust the princess?"

"As long as the princess is willing to trust me wholeheartedly, I can also trust the princess wholeheartedly."

"Impossible." Xu Nuan shook his head and responded, "You and I have never had a heart-to-heart relationship in Yuzhao Palace for two years, because you and I are not easy to trust others, and now I don't want to have a heart-to-heart relationship with you again, I'm afraid It's just tiring."

Having said that, Yin Ruoyue had just left Yuzhao Palace when the court was approaching, but Xu Nuan couldn't fall asleep either.

Or during the conversation that night, Yin Ruoyue did not appear for a long time.

Xu Nuan was in better health during the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, but he didn't go to the palace banquet. Instead, he set up a table of side dishes in Yuzhao Palace, and drank a small glass of fruit wine greedily.

It was about Haishi, Xu Nuan asked the maids to take away the food and lie on the bed one and a half.

The carrier pigeon that was kept in the hall had already gained a lot of weight, and probably couldn't fly, so it cooed a few times from time to time.

Xu Nuan flipped through the account books, dozed off for a while, and around a while later, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers outside suddenly rang out, scaring the small heater that Xu Nuan was covering in her hands and almost falling off.

The hall was empty, although it was covered with good blankets, the charcoal pot was burning and it was warm, and the energy of the fruit wine had passed, Xu Nuan still felt very cold.

The maids outside came in to congratulate the New Year, Xu Nuan ordered the rewards to be distributed and let everyone rest.

Xu Nuan stretched out her hand to tidy up the scattered account books, and when she was about to lie down to sleep, a court lady suddenly held a few red plums and said outside the screen:

"Princess, this is the red plum that Yin Nu official sent. She said it is beautiful, so I sent it here for the princess to have a look at first."

"Just find a vase and put it there."

Xu Nuan didn't poke her head out from under the quilt, but responded perfunctorily.

She was also confused, why Yin Ruoyue always liked to give her plum blossoms.

I vaguely heard the maid outside muttering softly: "Miss Yin carefully delivered the high-quality white porcelain from the official kiln, which makes the red plum very bright and beautiful."

Xu Nuan didn't want to make herself think too much, so her head was stuffed in the quilt, but fortunately, sleepiness surged up, and she slept peacefully before she knew it.

The next day just after Yinshi, before dawn, Xu Nuan was woken up by the palace people, and after grooming, he was going to pay New Year's greetings.

In the past in the palace, the rules were not as strict as they are now, but now even though they are all in the palace, etiquette is still required, except for serious illnesses, most of the time they still have to go.

When he opened the window to breathe, he saw that it was a rare sunny day outside, so Xu Nuan thought that it would be good to go to the Imperial Garden when he had time.

Not wanting to just go out, Xu Nuan happened to see Yin Ruoyue waiting outside the gate of Yuzhao Palace, still wearing a red official robe, standing in the snow, very conspicuous.

When the eyes met, Xu Nuan turned his head away first, pretending not to see it.

The maid next to her said softly, "Princess, why is Lady Yin still here?"

After turning the corner, Xu Nuan stopped and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"Last night, Lady Yin came to deliver the red plums in person. The maid guessed that the gate of the palace has not been opened yet, so Lady Yin stayed all night."

Hearing this, Xu Nuan's heart softened again, she moved her feet and sneaked over, only to see Yin Ruoyue was still standing there motionless.

Why do you have to stand outside in such a cold day?

Xu Nuan thought about it carefully, and felt that this might be Yin Ruoyue's bitter trick again, so she quickly turned back and said, "Don't worry about her, go to the Empress Dowager's Palace first."

Anyway, if she didn't say anything, why should I feel sorry for her first.

After going to the queen mother one by one, Xu Nuan was inconspicuous among a group of royal children.

But after saying a few words of congratulations, Xu Nuan left the Empress Dowager's palace. The emperor's health has not been very good these days, and he gets along most closely with the national teacher all day long, so he avoids the royal family's visit.

Passing the imperial garden, Xu Nuan entered the plum garden on a whim. The red plums are just beautiful, and the white snow and red plums are the most beautiful.

The beautiful scenery is good, but it is too cold. After not staying for a while, Xu Nuan thought about Yin Ruoyue who was standing outside Yuzhao Palace, so she left Meiyuan and returned to Yuzhao Palace.

From a distance, Concubine Ling and Yin Ruoyue were seen having a happy conversation. In the past, Concubine Ling would not smile, and so did Yin Ruoyue. Seeing such a scene, Xu Nuan only felt a little strange.

I wanted to walk over in a generous way, but the palace road was too long, halfway through, Xu Nuan felt regretful, looked at the two people in front, and suddenly didn't want to go.

Anyway, you can go around to the back door, why bother to join in the fun.

But it was already halfway there, and it was not easy to go around again. In order not to appear too guilty, I had to bite the bullet.

Seeing the two people turn their gazes to this direction, Concubine Ling spoke first: "It's freezing cold, I wonder if the princess is free to go to Jiaxiu Palace to have a cup of warm wine?"

"No, I drank a lot of wine today, let's try another day."

Xu Nuan smiled and was about to walk towards the gate of Yuzhao Palace, which was close at hand, but Yin Ruoyue suddenly said, "I have important matters to discuss with the princess, so I will leave first."

This time I can't shake it off.

Xu Nuan entered the palace door with her front foot, and Yin Ruoyue followed her with her back foot. A group of maids exited the palace as they should, and closed the door by the way.

Xu Nuan clutched the small heater in her hand, sat down, and saw Yin Ruoyue standing aside respectfully.

The two refused to speak, and fell into an inexplicable silence for a while, but the creaking charcoal in the charcoal basin occasionally made a little sound.

In terms of patience, Xu Nuan couldn't compare to Yin Ruoyue. Seeing the snow on Yin Ruoyue's boots and skirts melting in the hall, the corners of her skirt were also soaked.

Yin Ruoyue is not a strong man of seven feet, how can he withstand the freezing weather.

Xu Nuan was worried that she would catch typhoid fever, so she said, "Sit down and drink a cup of hot tea before leaving."

"Thank you princess."

Yin Ruoyue sat on the side, drinking hot tea, caught a glimpse of the red plums placed on the side, looked sideways at Xu Nuan and said, "The princess thinks the red plums are pretty?"

Regarding this sudden overture, Xu Nuan expressed a little confusion.

"good."

"I heard that the princess likes to enjoy the snow scenery, how about waiting for the Lantern Festival and going out to play together?"

Yin Ruoyue put down her teacup and asked.

Xu Nuan really didn't understand Yin Ruoyue's plan, so she asked bluntly:

"I don't want to go around in circles with you, so just tell me what you want from me today?"

"Of course it's about going out together for the Lantern Festival. The left and right princesses are going to marry Zhou Xia, so it's better to have fun before getting married."

What Yin Ruoyue said was sincere, but her eyes were too calm, and she didn't know what kind of ghosts were thinking in her head, so Xu Nuan looked away and replied:

"I have my own arrangements for the Shangyuan Festival. Lady Yin should find someone else."

After the words fell, Yin Ruoyue stopped talking, and Xu Nuan didn't know what to say, so he just sipped his tea.

Suddenly a "cuckoo" sounded, Yin Ruoyue shifted her gaze to the severely fat carrier pigeon, with a very strange expression, as if holding back a smile, she said:

"If the princess likes birds, how about I personally send a few parrots to relieve the princess tomorrow?"

Seeing this, Xu Nuan regretted it, why did he still keep the pigeons she gave him, and he even got fatter? Isn't this a loss of momentum.

If he had known earlier, he should have sent this gluttonous fat bird back, so Yin Ruoyue would not have seen the joke.
