But when Xu Nuan slowly came over, Yin Ruoyue didn't kiss her, but just stretched out her hands to straighten the hair next to Xu Nuan's cheek.

Only then did Xu Nuan's heartbeat return to normal, but her mind still asked without thinking: "Why are you so close all of a sudden?"

Yin Ruoyue looked at Xu Nuan with slight hesitation, but in the end she just let go and distanced herself, and said softly, "The princess is so weird today?"

"I...why is it strange?"

Xu Nuan asked hesitantly.

"In the past, no matter how long the sun was exposed to the sun, the princess usually didn't blush, but now she is already blushing."

As Yin Ruoyue spoke, she stretched out her hand and opened the paper umbrella to shield Xu Nuan from the sun.

The maid at the side reported, "King Qin has something important to do and is looking for Minister Yin."

"Understood." Yin Ruoyue responded, then turned her head and said helplessly: "This King Qin really likes to find trouble when there is nothing to do. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat with the princess on time tonight."

After finishing speaking, Yin Ruoyue called the waiting maid, and handed the paper umbrella she was holding to the maid beside her.

Xu Nuan looked up at Yin Ruoyue slightly, and said worriedly: "You...don't show off too much, everyone in the court will target you."

Yin Ruoyue smiled, stretched out her hand to touch Xu Nuan's hand, bent down and asked, "Princess, are you worried that I will be bullied by others?"

"Who's worried about you?" Xu Nuan withdrew her hand and responded softly, "Who in the court is more cunning than you?"

"Thank you princess for the compliment, Yue'er will be careful."

She didn't expect Yin Ruoyue to leave so simply, she was usually very clingy, Xu Nuan hadn't slowed down yet.

It was only at the end that she thought that perhaps the king of Qin was really pressing hard, and she couldn't afford to delay.

When evening was approaching, Xu Nuan returned to Yuzhao Palace, not hungry at all, so he asked people to eat dinner later.

As night fell, Xu Nuan put down the account book, and it was almost Xu time, Yin Ruoyue might have a meal in the Wenshu Pavilion, so the palace people prepared the meal.

The food was on the table, and when Xu Nuan was just sipping soup with a bowl in his hand, Yin Ruoyue came in from outside.

"The princess will be eating now? It just so happens that I have also eaten."

The maid at the side placed the bowls and chopsticks and quietly withdrew.

Xu Nuan responded with a spoon in his hand, "I'm not hungry, so it's only now."

"Have you never eaten in the Wenshu Pavilion?"

Yin Ruoyue drank the soup: "There are many things today, so I'm busy until now."

The two of them didn't talk after eating, Xu Nuan drank half a bowl of soup and ate some green vegetables, and his stomach was full.

After Yin Ruoyue finished her meal and the palace people packed up their things, Xu Nuan got up and wanted to go outside for a walk.

Yin Ruoyue got up and followed with a smile and said, "I happen to have something to discuss with the princess."

negotiate?Xu Nuan couldn't help being confused, so she walked along with Yin Ruoyue in Yuzhao Palace.

The summer night sky is the time when there are the most stars, and there are occasional fireflies in the palace, but most of them are thunderous cicadas.

"The princess and Zhou Xia's marriage, why not cancel it as soon as possible?"

Yin Ruoyue lightly held Xu Nuan's warm and cool hand and asked sideways.

Xu Nuan didn't expect Yin Ruoyue to say it so directly, she was momentarily stunned and responded:

"This marriage was bestowed by the late emperor, you must not cancel it casually, at least find a legitimate reason."

"Hua Mo stationed troops in the capital of the old kingdom and established himself as king. The flames of war gradually spread to the capital of the Shogunate. Zhou Xia will go to the battlefield. If he accidentally dies in battle, what is the reason?"

Xu Nuan almost thought that Yin Ruoyue was going to deal with Zhou Xia herself, so she hurriedly said, "Yue'er, don't mess around!"

"Zhou Xia has saved me several times, Yue'er, you can't do something like this."

Yin Ruoyue showed a wounded expression, and asked in a low voice: "In the princess' heart, will Yue'er definitely solve the problem by killing?"

"But didn't you just say that Zhou Xia was killed on the battlefield?"

"Zhou Xia is a daughter, but she has been fighting in the battlefield far away from home. If I can restore her freedom, she will be willing."

Xu Nuan didn't recover for a while, stared at Yin Ruoyue in a daze, leaned closer and asked, "Then you didn't intend to kill her?"

"If the princess wants Zhou Xia to die, Yue'er can also consider it."

Apparently Yin Ruoyue was really in a bad mood, so after speaking, she dragged Xu Nuan to the bedroom.

It's rare to see Yin Ruoyue expressing anger, but Xu Nuan doesn't know what to do.

After washing up, the two slept on the same bed, and Yin Ruoyue fell asleep early without saying a word.

Seeing this, Xu Nuan didn't want to say anything, so she fell asleep after taking the medicine.

She thought that maybe Yin Ruoyue would not be angry tomorrow, after all, she had known her for so many years, and Yin Ruoyue seldom got angry with herself.

Who would have thought that in the past few days, Yin Ruoyue really didn't take the initiative to say a word, even when she came back to sleep late at night, she couldn't even say a few words.

In July, the rain suddenly increased, and Xu Nuan couldn't move around, so he had to stay in Yuzhao Palace every day to clean up the account books that were about to mold.

Midsummer is originally hot and unbearable, but with the rain, it becomes hot and humid, and ordinary people can't stand it, but Xu Nuan feels that the weather is much colder.

So people were put aside by the charcoal basin, and the palace people opened half the windows to let in the air, probably after looking at the account books for a long time, their eyes were tired and flustered, so Xu Nuan lay on the desk and squinted for a while.

When the end was approaching, someone outside suddenly announced: "Princess, Master Song is asking to see you."

Xu Nuan got up, drove to the front hall, and saw Song Yu in a bright red official robe, bowing respectfully and kneeling.

"Is the princess safe?"

"At first I thought it was Mr. Song, but it turned out to be you, Song Yu. What's your business in Yuzhao Palace?"

Xu Nuan really didn't want to see Song Yu again, it just so happened that Yin Ruoyue was so busy with work these days that he didn't even come to Yuzhao Palace, so his tone was quite bad.

Song Yu approached modestly with a bent waist and said, "The eldest princess congratulates me, and this minister specially sent a jade wishful here."

Xu Nuan is still not used to this new title. Logically speaking, she is not the direct sister of the crown prince Xu Lin, and generally would not get this honor, so it is likely that Yin Ruoyue shared some of the credit for the siege and rescue.

Xu Nuan withdrew her thoughts and said softly, "You turned back quickly, but Yu Ruyi still takes it back."

Or Song Yu didn't expect Xu Nuan to refuse so forcefully, and his face was very embarrassing for a while.

"I suspect that the eldest princess always needs eyes and ears in the ruling and opposition parties. The eldest princess does not know that Minister Yin and the second-rank civil servant, Mr. Li, have been rumored to be getting close to each other in recent days."

Mr. Li?

Xu Nuan's head short-circuited, and it took him a while to realize that it might be Li Yuan, the new champion.

Now that Yin Ruoyue is so powerful, she shouldn't need to make false promises with others. How could there be such rumors?

Song Yu got up and saluted and said, "Princess Yu Ruyi should stay if I think about it."

Xu Nuan didn't respond either, after Song Yu left, he was alone thinking.

Now if Song Yu was following Yin Ruoyue, he wouldn't deliberately say such ambiguous words in front of him.

Could it be that Yin Zheng arranged it?

After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Nuan didn't come up with the truth, so she had this doubt in her heart.

As night fell, the rain became heavier and the thunder was deafening. Yin Ruoyue would not come even if she thought about it, so she asked the palace servants to turn off the lights early and lie down.

The next morning was the day of offering sacrifices, and now Xu Nuan, as the noble eldest princess of the Mu Kingdom, had to go to the ancestral temple to worship with the young emperor.

Not to mention the exhaustion of the boat and carriage, worshiping and burning incense all the way, it was late at night from the beginning to the end of the sacrificial ceremony, Xu Nuan hadn't eaten anything, and when he got into the carriage at night, his eyes were already flickering.

Thanks to the help of the palace people, I went back to Yuzhao Palace, and the pulse was diagnosed by the imperial doctor, and the acupuncture relieved a lot.

Yin Ruoyue didn't come back until late at night. Hearing the sound, Xu Nuan quickly closed her eyes and lay down on the quilt.

As the footsteps approached, the visitor stopped by the bed, sat quietly by the side, feeling uneasy and neither spoke nor lay down.

With her eyes closed, Xu Nuan couldn't see Yin Ruoyue's expression, until a warm palm suddenly fell on her forehead and caressed her.

Xu Nuan was so nervous that she couldn't pretend, so she slowly opened her eyes. Yin Ruoyue's expression was forlorn, her eyes were cold but her palms were extremely gentle.

"What's wrong with you?" Xu Nuan asked nervously.

The corners of Yin Ruoyue's mouth turned up, and she shook her head in response: "I haven't seen you for so many days, the princess looks much better, I really don't miss Yue'er."

Xu Nuan listened in confusion, leaned forward and said, "What are you talking about?"

"Otherwise, why wouldn't you want to take the initiative to say a word to Yue'er?"

Yin Ruoyue spoke to herself, then let go of her hand, sat aside and said: "Zhou Xia will lead the army to fight tomorrow, and if there is no accident, the battle should be over by the end of the year."

"There is an uprising inside the shogunate, there are strong enemies from the southwest looking at it outside, and there are many princes and princes colluding secretly in the court. The situation is difficult. I will go back to the mansion I set up in the capital because of official duties, and I will not come to live in Yuzhao Palace in the future."

Xu Nuan didn't react until she heard this, Yin Ruoyue was still angry and said such disheartening words.

Xu Nuan quickly stretched out her hand to grab Yin Ruoyue's hand and said, "I don't mind if you come back to live in your mansion because of the busy business."

"But you are obviously angry at the moment. I was too anxious and spoke too much that day. I have to tell you that I didn't want to take the initiative to talk to you. Don't be angry because of it."

Yin Ruoyue didn't answer, just stared at Xu Nuan, suddenly smiled abnormally and said, "Then the princess kisses me, how about it?"

The atmosphere was very strange, and Xu Nuan could also sense that Yin Ruoyue was out of control.

Now is the critical time, Yin Ruoyue is in a high position, if she is alienated by others, if she makes a mistake, she will be crushed to pieces.

Xu Nuan leaned forward and kissed Yin Ruoyue's slightly cool lips. Although her cheeks were slightly red, she said in a serious manner:

"Yue'er, don't think about it, how many people are staring at you day and night waiting for you to make mistakes, you..."

Before she finished speaking, Yin Ruoyue suddenly hugged Xu Nuan tightly, and kissed Xu Nuan's speaking lips. There was a gap for air, and Xu Nuan felt that her head was a little suffocated.

Fingers clasped Yin Ruoyue's arm tightly, but Yin Ruoyue didn't have the slightest intention to let go, so Xu Nuan had to bite Yin Ruoyue's lips, and then she was able to distance herself and breathe.

Yin Ruoyue lowered her head and rubbed against Xu Nuan's cheek, the sound of her breathing was also rapid, but she refused to let go, she stuck her lips close to Xu Nuan's ear, and asked in a hoarse voice:

"Princess, shall we get married in March next year?"

marry?

Xu Nuan couldn't keep the distance away, so she could only lean against Yin Ruoyue's arms, panting heavily, and asked slowly:

"You are so anxious all of a sudden, I really don't know how to respond to you"

"Princess unwilling?"

Yin Ruoyue turned her head and looked at Xu Nuan with hurt eyes, as if Xu Nuan would be cruel once she refused.
