Pampering the outside room alone? I entered the East Palace to pass on the sick and weak prince

Feeling the warmth and softness in his palm, Murong Yu hesitated for a moment.

He looked at the gentle and shy woman next to him, his eyes flashing.

Previously, he asked Jing Liu to ask Luzhi what happened with her and Ning Lanxue that day.

However, Jing Liu told him that Lu Zhi was already dead when he went there.

He hanged himself.

Ding Lexian said that after Luzhi ruined his appearance on impulse, he couldn't think about it when he came back and sought death in the middle of the night.

This matter is settled.

A seed of doubt was planted in Murong Yu's heart.

Ning Lanxue...

Are you really innocent?

"Your Highness."

Ning Lanxue's call brought him back from his thoughts.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, I just feel a little emotional..."

Ning Lanxue bit her lip, and suddenly her eyes turned a little red: "We used to be very close, and we looked at the beautiful scenery together. You even drew my eyebrows with your own hands, and we promised to be together for the rest of our lives, but now..."

She sighed: "Now I have become your side chamber, and I feel like I am getting farther and farther away from you recently. I am really scared. Your Highness... do you really still have me in your heart?"

Facing her inquiry, Murong Yu's heart trembled.

Unconsciously, I remembered the time I spent with her in the past, and the promises I made.

I suddenly felt guilty.

Yes, during the days when he was not favored, Ning Lanxue was the one who enlightened him and acted as his interpreter.

Now, not only did he not give her the position of concubine, he also doubted her.

In fact, it still shouldn’t be.

Murong Yu held her hand tightly.

"Lan Xue, I have neglected you during this period because I have many things to do. It's definitely not that I don't love you anymore. Don't worry, you will always be the only one in my heart."

"As long as His Highness has me in his heart, nothing else matters."

Ning Lan burst into tears and smiled.

The two of them joined hands and walked towards the direction of the banquet.

When Shen Ruoxi arrived at Jiaotai Hall, the banquet hadn't started yet.

The ladies of the palace were in the back garden of the palace, waiting for the banquet to begin.

In the back garden, a late-moon-shaped arch bridge spans a quiet lake.

On both sides of the lake, on one side were the children of important ministers and princes, and on the other side were the female relatives who had not yet left the cabinet.

Shen Ruoxi crossed the bridge and walked in the direction of the female relatives.

As soon as he walked over, he felt the gazes from all around him pause for a moment, and then they all glanced away.

Taoye was a little puzzled.

"Miss, why do you feel that these ladies are looking at you wrong? Did something happen?"

Shen Ruoxi didn't say a word, but just turned her eyes.

Then it fell on Wan Siyu.

Wan Siyu was sitting next to Su Tianling, holding a porcelain cup and pretending to drink tea.

She froze when she met Shen Ruoxi's gaze.

"What do you think I'm doing? I didn't do anything!"

"Why are you so nervous, Wan Siyu, are you trying to hide it?"

Su Tianling glanced at her and smiled faintly.

"If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself. Shen Ruoxi, you know what you are doing."

"Similarly, return it to Princess Tianling."

Shen Ruoxi glanced at her coldly, then found a place to sit down.

Taoye was a little angry.

"Miss, look at this, it's probably who said bad things about you. I think they are all talking about you behind your back."

Shen Ruoxi looked calm.

"Let them go, we can't stop everyone from talking."

Leng Shuang stood behind her and said coldly.

"If you can't stop them, kill them as a warning to others."

"Today is the queen's birthday, don't take the initiative to cause trouble."

"Yes."

In the huge pavilion, the ladies chatted happily, while Shen Ruoxi drank tea alone without saying a word.

Suddenly, there was a noise in the pavilion.

someone exclaimed.

"Miss Lin is here!"

Hearing this, Shen Ruoxi paused.

Miss Lin?

She turned her head and saw a woman walking in with two maids not far away.

She wore a green lotus-colored skirt embroidered with clouds and water patterns, and a beaded flower hairpin on her head with tassels hanging from it.

A pair of curved eyebrows, a face as fair as jade, and lips as delicate as new peaches.

She is a complete beauty.

She recognized her as Lin Xiuyi, the daughter of Taifu Lin Lin Wei.

Before Shen Ruoxi married Murong Yu, she and Lin Xiuyi were both known as the "Twin Sisters of the Capital" in Kyoto.

It is said that among the noble ladies, the two of them are the most stunning in appearance.

However, everyone's evaluation of Lin Xiuyi is much higher than hers.

Because Lin Xiuyi is not only beautiful, but also talented and noble.

And there was only water in her mind.

The most famous thing in recent years is his irrational admiration for Murong Yu.

Thinking of this, Shen Ruoxi couldn't help but want to strangle herself to death.

"Miss Lin, I heard that you were infected with cold, are you okay?"

"I have some good cough medicine here. If you need it, I'll have it delivered."

"My brother was full of praise for the calligraphy you gave me last time. If you are free, can you come to my house as a guest?"

……

As soon as Lin Xiuyi came over, she was surrounded by all the ladies.

It can be seen that the popularity is indeed high.

Leng Shuang whispered.

"Miss, Miss Lin has always been very fond of the master. She hasn't gotten married yet because she wants to marry the master."

Shen Ruoxi sighed.

"It's really seductive."

Taoye said quickly: "It's okay, miss. In fact, I think you are more attractive than her in terms of appearance alone."

Shen Ruoxi: "I'm talking about King Ling."

Taoye:? ? ?

Shen Ruoxi curled her lips, and Murong Heng's handsome face appeared in her mind.

They are all sick and inhumane, and they can still attract peach blossoms.

If that's good...

can not imagine.

"Xiuyi."

Su Tianling suddenly spoke and called her: "Come and sit here."

Lin Xiuyi turned around, saw Su Tianling, turned around and walked over with her maid.

She bowed politely.

"Princess Tianling."

"We are so familiar with each other, so we don't have to be so polite."

She ordered the maid next to her: "Yu'er, serve tea to Miss Lin."

"Thank you, Princess."

Lin Xiuyi smiled and spoke, still polite and keeping her distance.

Although she did know Su Tianling for many years, she actually didn't like her in her heart.

Su Tianling was notorious, being with her would only affect his reputation.

But Su Tianling is the princess, so she must give her face.

Wan Siyu looked unhappy.

"Miss Lin doesn't seem to like tea very much. Princess, please don't force yourself to do anything."

Lin Xiuyi also likes Murong Heng.

To her, he is a love rival.

Wan Siyu naturally didn't have a good impression.

Su Tianling did not respond to her, she sipped her tea and said suddenly.

"What a coincidence today. Both ladies from the capital are here. Xiuyi, you and Shen Ruoxi once made a name for themselves in the capital together. Do you want to go over and say hello?"

Lin Xiuyi looked in Shen Ruoxi's direction, then turned her head.

"No need, I'm not familiar with Miss Shen."

The matter of Shen Ruoxi and Murong Yu's reconciliation was aroused.

Of course she knew it too.

She wasn't interested in it, she just felt it was a shame to be as famous as her.

And when she entered the pavilion, she silently paid attention to Shen Ruoxi.

Although this woman has a bad reputation, she has to admit that her appearance is indeed amazing.

The skin is better than snow, the eyes are bright and the teeth are white, and the lips are not red.

His dignified and charming appearance was even better than hers.

In Lin Xiuyi's heart, she had no favorable impression of her.
