Satisfied Female Emperor - C68

Green Bamboo went back and picked up Xia Chang, who was eight or nine years old, and wore a set of accessories. He showed them to Ru Yi before giving them to Gao Qianqian, taking the clothes she exchanged with her to wash.

The string with the big money was in Ru Yi’s hand.

Ru Yi sucked in a breath.

He handed the jade bun over to Green Bamboo, “Order it down, and make it exactly the same. If Miss Gao asks, ask her where she got it, and bring it back for me.”

Green Bamboo retreated.

Ru Yi went to the front. She could not see the Du Family, nor could she see Zhao Yun. However, she could not let many people know about this, and even her father had to hide it from her.

First, Zhou Xuan might be the vice commander, but the entire Guard Battalion listened to him. He was no different from the commander, and second, Zhou Xuan had met Qianyun that night. No matter what, she hoped that the fewer people who knew about this, the better.

Zhou Xuan quickly arrived. Ru Yi rejected the others and asked, “You want to see someone alone, but don’t want others to find out. Can you do it?”

When Zhou Xuan heard this, he became excited. His Highness was using him! As a vassal, he was not afraid of his master not promoting him, but was afraid that his master would not remember him and not order him around.

“I can.”

“Very good. “Come closer.” Ru Yi explained in detail, then took out a piece of paper. “Just say that you are the commander of the Eastern Palace Aristocrat Clan and ask him to follow you. If he’s unwilling, then show him this.”

As he spoke, he folded the paper and handed it over.

This was the first time Zhou Xuan had been “entrusted with such an important task.” Just as he was about to leave, he turned around and quietly asked, “Your Highness, this subject has lost consciousness. Can’t we just bring him over?”

Ru Yi quickly shook her head, “No, just tell him what I want. If he doesn’t come, then don’t force him. Just bring this piece of paper back to him.”

Zhou Xuan repeated in a low voice before leaving.

Soon, the green bamboo was sent over. Ru Yi felt that it was no different from the twin brothers from before. She nodded and left the first one behind, saying to the green bamboo,

“If she doesn’t ask, then don’t give it to her. If she does, then give her this and see what she says.”

Green Bamboo replied and was about to leave, but Ru Yi said, “Wait.” She hesitated for a moment, and then said, “I think it’s very good, go and do the exact same thing. Who did this for you? “Give it to her.”

Green Bamboo hurriedly replied, “I have a little sister in the Shang Guan Bureau who is good at fighting, and I often ask her to help me, but the previous one is a bit old, and I tore down a nearly old one, and used the old thread to ask her to beat it. That money was taken from the Shang Guan Bureau, and I picked and asked for seven or eight different kinds, each with four or five types.”

The coins were all molded in the palace, so there were many kinds of coins in the palace. It was easier to make old coins than to make old ones, but when Green Bamboo asked people, he took the money and tested it a few times before he made his own.

Ru Yi nodded her head, “This way, we won’t waste too much time and effort in rewarding others. Help Gu Bing remember this matter.”

Green Bamboo said, “It is the duty of the servants to do things for their masters.”

“Mm, I understand. You can go now.”

After she had left, Ru Yi looked carefully at the necklace in her hand. This was made by her mother, and her mother’s needlework was ordinary, but she was always the one who loved to dress up. Her family wasn’t rich, and she couldn’t afford the jade pendant, so her mother made up a huge sum of money and gave it to her.

If she thought too much, she wouldn’t dare to do it, so she summoned Zhou Xuan on an impulse and sent him out. She didn’t know if he could bring Lei Yun over, but she stood up and walked around the hall for a bit. She felt a bit nervous, so she relaxed her breathing and began chanting.

Ever since she was a child, she had been calm and collected, but she wasn’t someone who didn’t have emotions. When she was young, she read Zhuang Zi’s < Free and Unrestrained Wandering >, and even she didn’t like to do anything for him, but she still wished for her heart to be free.

In other words, Du Weizhao’s heart was the same as Zhu Ru Yi’s. This wasn’t just her own feelings, she also wanted those she cared about, those she apparently abandoned, to look at her in the same way.

Since he couldn’t go back to being Du Weizhao, then he might as well be the one with Du Weizhao’s thoughts.

At the Xue Courtyard, Zhou Xuan was also in a difficult situation. He had never thought that there would actually be someone who didn’t give face to the princess. She was the princess!

Sometimes, even the king had to give in to the princess to establish her authority. In the capital, no matter whether it was a noble or noble family, how could they not curry favor with the princess? It was just like the young miss of the Residence of Cheng. Even though the princess had sent people over, she had still happily received them.

Could it be that the young man in front of him was spoiled because of his good looks?

Zhou Xuan looked at the silent Xue Shaoyun with a bit of pain in his teeth.

Even he himself was at a loss as to what to say. Zhou Xuan had already revealed his identity and stated his intentions. At that moment, his heart was filled with joy, but that happiness soon disappeared. It was like the rising and falling of a tide, and he was unable to control himself.

Zhou Xuan could tell that the youth in front of him was someone he had met that night. He was skilled, but was still young, and wasn’t his match. It was a pity that the princess’ order was not to force him. However, if he really did not force her, he would have to return to the palace by himself and report to his superiors. Just thinking about it made him feel like a coward.

“When you came here, master said that you are not to force master anymore. Young master doesn’t want to go, I have nothing to say, it’s just that this was handed to me by master. If you don’t change your mind, young master, I will leave immediately.”

Xue Chaoyun raised his head and glanced at Zhou Xuan. He was brimming with vigor, and did not seem like he had gotten better in the past few years. However, he still looked frail and frail. He took the letter from Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan was secretly pleased with himself. When the princess handed him the letter, she only gave him a piece of paper, but he felt that it wouldn’t be good if the recipient didn’t think it was important enough.

There was not a single word on the paper, only the line he threw away …

For a moment, Yun Yang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. His eyes were a bit sore.

Presumably, she had already recognized him, so the little girl he had saved was definitely someone who was extremely familiar with her.

Xue Chaoyun lowered his head again. This time, Zhou Xuan was extremely worried. The dull knife cuts the flesh. But he didn’t dare to urge her.

According to logic, the princess was a woman and the person in front of him was a young man. Zhou Xuan felt that the two shouldn’t have had that sort of relationship, but he really didn’t know which relationship it was. Of course, he didn’t want to know.

If Hong Yan sent a message, did that Hong Yan know about the contents of the letter? He definitely didn’t know that at this moment, Zhou Xuan wanted to be a Hongyan.

“What’s the matter?”

Zhou Xuan was always ready for his questions, so he listened obediently. Seeing that Xue Qianyun was about to loosen up, he immediately said, “Master didn’t say anything. He just told me to listen to you. If you want to go, then I’ll make arrangements.”

Then he silently added in his mind: If you don’t want to go, you have to return that piece of paper. However, he still felt that it was better to not say these words out loud. If the youth in front of him became angry due to embarrassment, it would backfire and he would really not go, which would be considered bad.

Green Bamboo very quickly sent over another string. Ru Yi looked at it for a bit and then nodded, telling her to step down.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour and nearly unable to sit still any longer, she was about to head back when Li Rou came over and reported, “Prince Jiang Liu requests to see His Highness.”

Ru Yi didn’t seem to hear him as she said absent-mindedly, “I won’t see him.”

Xue Chaoyun was tall and slender. Zhou Xuan found him a set of imperial guard clothing and said, “Follow behind me. Don’t look up.”

Zhou Xuan carried the medallion given to him by his daughter, saying that it was to carry out orders. As expected, no one doubted him on the way. They arrived at the entrance of the front hall, invited Li Rou to report, and led Xue Chaoyun in.

Ru Yi had just sat down on the chair when she heard Zhou Xuan’s voice outside. She stood up almost immediately and said, “Tell Commander Zhou to come in.”

The sky gradually darkened, but there were no lights in the room.

Ru Yi found the fire piston and blew vigorously. She then took off the lampshade to light the fire.

It was unknown when Zhou Xuan had disappeared.

She calmed herself a little, then turned to look at him.

His figure was slightly thin, with jet-black eyebrows, and the spirit of his eyes could not be seen. His face was slightly pale, and he had been learning martial arts for a few years, but he did not expect that his face would still be as delicate as it was when he was young. His facial features could be described as flawless.

If she was still Wei Zhao, she felt proud that she had a cousin like Lei Yun. Thinking of this, the determination that usually gathered on her face gradually faded, revealing a rare gentleness.

Ru Yi turned around to test the temperature of the water in the pot and personally poured two cups of water. “Remember that the first time I saw you, you weren’t even as tall as me. A few years have passed and you’re already almost half a head taller than me.”

She chose this kind of opening because she felt that boys probably cared a lot about height, just like the few young masters she knew. Anyone who was short wouldn’t like to go out, so she tried every possible way to find out how to grow taller.

Sure enough, Sha Yun’s face loosened up, and Ru Yi let out a sigh of relief.

She had called him here to have a good talk, not to screw things up between the two of them, so she smiled and said, “Let’s sit down and talk. I’m thirsty, do you want to drink some water?” He acted very friendly and friendly.

Xue Xianyun remained silent, but slowly walked under the lamp and sat on the Wooden Pellet opposite Ru Yi.

Ru Yi gently pushed the cup next to her hand toward him. Her intentions were clear.

Xue Xianyun looked up, his expression no longer stiff but still solemn, his eyes unwavering by her words.

It turned out that Ru Yi felt that her face had become even thicker after she faced the man who wanted to protect her with such a guarded face.

However, her time was limited, so she could only tell him everything she had thought of before. Even if he didn’t say anything, if she did, at least he would understand.

“I went into the woods today and had a look around. When I came out, I ran into the young lady from the second branch of the Li family and her sister-in-law. They said they were called Xue Liyun, and they looked very sensible and pretty. It’s just that they weren’t as tall as you, and were your uncles’ subordinates?”

In the past, she had already been bullied by people in the academy. Although she was not a mediocre person who would not be envied by others, it was hard to tell whether she was good or bad, and she didn’t even know when she was cheated. It was like Gao Qianqian, if he didn’t save her in time, if something really happened to Gao Qianqian, then she would definitely be responsible, right?

He didn’t want to talk to her in the first place, but when he heard her praise Xue Liyun’s beauty, he didn’t want to talk anymore.

Ru Yi felt that she couldn’t hold on any longer. Other than her father, she hadn’t used her face in the past few years. Now that she used it, she felt that it wasn’t thick enough.
