After marriage and marriage, I became the favorite of the group

This is a fat hair, too embarrassing!

Everyone on the shore shouted.

"Who is that? Go and call the guards to save him!"

"I remember that the young master of the Ruan family seems to know water, right?"

"Come on! Come on!"

grumbling-

Ruan Jiu hid in the water, grunting non-stop.

He really knows how to swim, every year he fishes and catches shrimps in the river outside the city with Xiao Mingyuan, and even fights in water fights, and he is the jade-faced little dragon who suffers from the wind and cold at least once a year.

He could have gotten up by himself, but just now he had a brain twitch and felt that it would be too embarrassing to fall into the water in public, so why not pretend that it was a stone that fell into the water, hide in the water by himself, wait for them to leave, and then climb ashore .

But everyone on the shore knew that someone had fallen, and his plan had failed.

Ruan Jiu's tears of regret mixed with the lake water.

What are you doing stupid?Just go up early, you have to be smart.

He braced himself, just about to swim to the shore, and climbed up by himself without bothering the guards.

Suddenly I heard Xiao Mingyuan scolding people on the shore and calling him: "Ruan Jiu!"

There is also a "plop".

Ruan Jiu's tears of gratitude mixed into the lake water, good brother——

Then there was another splash in the water.

Xiao Mingyuan took Ruan Jiu's arm and fished him out of the lake. The two of them floated in the water, and they both froze.

Ruan Jiu asked in a daze, "Why do I seem to hear the sound of going into the water twice?"

Xiao Mingyuan was also stunned and said: "It seems... He Lianzhu came down to save you before me."

Ruan Jiu pursed the corners of his lips: "Then tell me, can he know how to drink water?"

Xiao Mingyuan asked him back: "Do you think there will be so much water on the grassland?"

"Oops!"

The two immediately separated to hunt for He Lianzhu. At this time, the guards who had been serving outside also arrived, and hurriedly went into the water to fish for him.

Not long after, Ruan Jiu hugged Helian Zhu from behind in the water and pulled him out of the water.He turned his head and glanced at Xiao Mingyuan: "Here."

The spring is chilly, and the lake is still bitingly cold.As soon as they landed, the eunuchs quickly brought thick clothes, wrapped them up, and asked them to get on the chariot and send them to the nearest palace to change clothes.

Ruan Jiu spent the longest time in the water and suffered the longest from the cold.His face was pale, wrapped in a cloak, and he was shivering in his seat.

He Lianzhu tugged on his sleeve, looked at him pitifully, and said in a very low voice, "I'm sorry."

Ruan Jiu didn't speak, Xiao Mingyuan said first: "If you didn't jump off, he would have come up long ago, and wasted his time fishing for you."

Ruan Jiu kicked him: "Stop talking."

He knew why, Helian Zhu treated him like this as a friend.

Because Helian Zhu regards him as a friend.

At the banquet just now, Ruan Jiu pretended not to see him several times.Once He Lianzhu ate a dish and thought it was delicious, so he went to look for him with the dish, but he was afraid of trouble, so he turned his head and pretended not to see it, got up and left.

It turned out that he did something wrong.

It was also because He Lianzhu regarded him as a friend and didn't know that he could swim, so he jumped off.

Ruan Jiudao: "Someone pushed me just now, and I fell." He did not forget to emphasize to He Lianzhu: "That arrow can't scare me at all!"

Xiao Mingyuan opened the curtain and ordered: "Go and pass on my words. Those who were present just now are not allowed to leave and wait in place." He put down the curtain and looked at Ruan Jiu: "Who did you offend?"

Ruan Jiu shook his head, Xiao Mingyuan said again: "Thanks to me watching, or you would..."

In fact, every year someone in the palace would "fall into the water for no reason", and Xiao Mingyuan was unwilling to invite friends to play in the palace for this reason.The palace is too dirty.

Before the words were finished, the chariot stopped, and the little eunuch helped several people get out of the chariot.

The old eunuch who served Xiao Mingyuan was busy: "Quickly prepare hot water for clothes! Let the dining room boil thick ginger soup and bring it over!"

Several young eunuchs stepped forward, surrounded several people, and were about to invite them down.

But at the other end, He Lianzhu was still clutching Ruan Jiu's sleeve and refused to let go, with his head down, his face was still covered with water, and he didn't know if it was lake water or something else.

Just as Ruan Jiu was about to speak, Xiao Mingyuan said, "If you hold him any longer, he will have to rely on you again when he gets cold."

He Lianzhu could understand Chinese, even from Xiao Mingyuan's expression and tone, he could tell what he was talking about.

Like a wet puppy, reluctantly withdrawing its paw, He Lianzhu finally slowly withdraws his hand.

Before they had time to say anything, the three of them were surrounded by the young eunuchs and sent to several rooms that had been prepared.

When Ruan Jiu peeled off his wet clothes and soaked in hot water, he had already sneezed several times.

It seems that a cold is inevitable.

After all, he was still in the palace, so it was not easy for him to wash for too long. After soaking for a while, he hurried out, wiped clean and changed into clothes.

Ruan Jiu was pinching his nose and was about to pour down the ginger soup when he suddenly heard a sentence from outside the door: "Envoy Helian, why are you standing here?"

Ruan Jiu felt bad, put down the soup bowl, went to open the door, only to see He Lianzhu standing at the door.

The puppy was washed clean, but the hair was still dripping, as if he had driven him out of the house.

Ruan Jiu turned sideways: "Do you want to come in?"

He Lianzhu stepped forward, Ruan Jiu touched his forehead, and said to the little eunuch, "Bring me another bowl of ginger soup."

He closed the door, and He Lianzhu looked at him tearfully again.

Ruan Jiu felt numb from his stare, raised his hand and patted him: "What are you doing?"

He Lianzhu's Chinese is not very fluent, and he stuttered even more at this time: "Ruanjiu, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I didn't expect..."

While talking, he got into Ruan Jiu's arms.

He is shorter than Ruan Jiu, with his arms around Ruan Jiu's waist, his face buried in his shoulders, crying and accusing him: "You have been ignoring me, I am very angry, you are too bad..."

Ruan Jiu frowned: "You..."

If you are not proficient in Chinese, you don't need to speak it.

That last sentence is really ambiguous.

He Lianzhu was so sad that he was about to cry while holding him.Ruan Jiu raised his hand and patted the back of his head. Before he could speak, someone knocked on the door again: "Envoy Helian, Young Master Ruan, Your Majesty wants you to come over."

Ruan Jiu responded, then pushed He Lianzhu away, and helped him wipe his face.

It was a good banquet, and it turned out like this, and all three of them got into the water. Naturally, this incident would alarm the emperor.

It was still the palace where the banquet was held just now, the cups and plates were all removed, and Emperor Liang sat upright at the head with a solemn expression.The fierce envoy named Ashina stood beside him, but his eyes kept turning around Ruan Jiu.

Xiao Mingyuan, Ruan Jiu, and He Lianzhu were dressed in winter clothes, wrapped like three balls, standing——standing below.

Emperor Liang asked: "What's going on?" He looked at Xiao Mingyuan: "Son, tell me."

Xiao Mingyuan took a step forward: "Father, Ruan Jiu was pushed down by someone, please investigate this matter thoroughly."

"Of course I will investigate this matter, what I am asking is..."

Ruan Jiu said: "Return to Your Majesty, it was Helian's envoy who was playing with me, and I didn't want someone to take the opportunity to push me, so I fell into the lake. At that time, His Royal Highness happened to pass by and heard the young masters calling for help, so he acted Help."

It cannot be said that Xiao Mingyuan guarded him deliberately, so Ruan Jiu beautified the incident a little.

It just made Xiao Mingyuan cheaper and gave him a good name of "doing what is justified".

Emperor Liang looked at He Lianzhu again: "Then...why did He Lian's envoy also go into the water?"

Ruan Jiu pursed the corners of his lips: "Helian envoy thought that he caused me to fall into the water, so he felt very sorry and wanted to go into the water to save me."

"You are very popular." Emperor Liang patted his knee, and said something vaguely, "It's so cold, my prince and fierce envoys all went into the water for you."

Ruan Jiu didn't want to show his face at the banquet, but he didn't want to show his face directly in front of the emperor this time.

No matter how clever he is, he is only 16 years old, and Emperor Liang has been in a high position for a long time, and he speaks every word, intimidating.

Ruan Jiu lowered his head and didn't know how to answer. After thinking for a while, he bent down and bowed: "The Eighth Prince and Helian's envoy are both upright people. No matter who falls into the water today, they will..."

Xiao Mingyuan took another step forward and pulled Ruan Jiu behind him: "Father, the most urgent task at present should be to find the person who pushed Ruan Jiu into the water. What are you doing here to scare Ruan Jiu?"

He is the emperor's latecomer, and the emperor favors him the most.Emperor Liang was not annoyed when he spoke like this. He stroked his beard and said, "Okay then, go and investigate first to see who pushed Ruan Jiu into the water."

Xiao Mingyuan pulled Ruan Jiu to leave, He Lianzhu's eyes followed him, and he didn't know whether he should follow.

Ashina took a few steps forward, walked up to Emperor Liang, and said a few words in a low voice.Emperor Liang looked at Ruan Jiu, nodded his head, and said, "It's not bad."

So he said to Xiao Mingyuan: "Emperor, you can check it yourself, Ruan Jiu stays here, I still have something to ask him."

Ruan Jiu and Xiao Mingyuan thought about that terrible thing at the same time, and exchanged a look.

"Father, Ruan Jiu is the one who was pushed down. If he doesn't investigate with me, how can I find out?"

Xiao Mingyuan forced him to go away, Ruan Jiu turned his head and glanced at Ashina - He Lianzhu was still young, and he came to Yong'an just to play, and it was Ashina who presided over the marriage.

And Ashina has been staring at him since he came in, and just now he talked to Emperor Liang, and it was probably at Emperor Liang's place that he wanted to appoint him.

I am afraid that if I want to leave now, I will not be able to leave. If I leave a few words to argue, maybe there is still a chance to turn around.

So Ruan Jiu pushed Xiao Mingyuan's hand away, and shook his head at him.

Xiao Mingyuan had no choice but to watch him walk back helplessly: "Ruan Jiu?"

In the next second, Ruan Jiu fell forward and was caught by He Lianzhu.

Ruan Jiu's face was flushed, his forehead was hot, and when he fell down, he patted He Lianzhu's face by the way.

Because of his interruption just now, I didn't even finish the ginger soup.

But it's also thanks to him that he didn't finish the ginger soup just now, isn't Feng Han coming soon?

He Lianzhu hugged him with red eyes, and was about to cry, hugged him and shook him, choked up and called him: "Ruanjiu!"

Ruan Jiu closed his eyes and moved to the side.If this puppy dares to wipe tears on his clothes, he will settle accounts with him when he wakes up.

But Helian Zhu held him tightly.

Ruan Jiu originally wanted to pretend to be dizzy, but if he did, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.

Then he really fainted.

He Lianzhu blamed himself so much that he wanted to cry again while holding him.Xiao Mingyuan went out and shouted: "Get out of here!"

A group of eunuchs rushed in.

"Don't go to the doctor yet!"

So a group of eunuchs ran out again.

Xiao Mingyuan was speechless: "Fool, come a few people!"

Emperor Liang and his envoy Ashina looked at the situation in the palace, thinking about each other.

Ashina said: "Your Majesty, the young master of the Ruan family is indeed good, and it is rare for the envoys to like him."

Emperor Liang was noncommittal, seeing Xiao Mingyuan angry, said slightly in a low voice: "Okay, what's the use of scolding them? Send people to the side hall and ask the imperial physician. Then..." Emperor Liang glanced at Ashina, and finally said: "Invite the Ruan family into the palace, I have something important to discuss."

Xiao Mingyuan suddenly raised his head when he thought about the marriage, his eyes widened: "Father?!"

"The youngest son of their family has such a big incident in the palace, and they have to come in to have a look and give him an explanation. Why don't you go quickly?"

Xiao Mingyuan took a step back: "...Yes."

When Ruan Jiu woke up again, it was already night.

Someone was putting a warm towel on his forehead, and he only felt that his body was weak, trapped in the too soft bedding, and his joints ached even when he moved his fingers.

He opened his overly heavy eyelids, and the first thing he saw was Helian Zhu.

He sat by the bed, rolled up his sleeves, and was straightening the towel on Ruan Jiu's forehead. Seeing that he woke up, he sniffed again.

Then his elder brother's voice rang in his ears: "Are you awake?"

"Brother?" Ruan Jiu's originally confused mind suddenly came to his senses, and he struggled to sit up, but of course he failed.

"How do you feel? Eat something first, then drink medicine..."

Ruan Jiu looked at the unfamiliar layout around him, and realized where he was.

His voice was hoarse, but his tone was firm: "Brother, I want to go home."

"Okay, let's go back tomorrow morning."

"I'm going back now." I don't know if it's because the eye sockets are also hot, Ruan Jiu is about to cry.

"The palace is banned now, so I can't go out." Ruan He helped him tuck the quilt up, "We will go home when the palace gate opens tomorrow morning. You have something to eat first."

Ruan Jiu shook his head, Ruan Jiu coaxed him softly for a while before coaxing him to eat something.

He ate something and regained some energy before he could think about other things.

"Why is he here?" Ruan Jiu glanced at He Lianzhu.

The nearest place beside the bed was occupied by Helian Zhu, and Ruan He could only sit on the side.

Ruan He shook his head helplessly, and said softly, "I can't drive you away."

Seeing Ruan Jiu looking at him, He Lianzhu sat up straighter, as if determined not to leave.

Ruan Jiu didn't have the energy to argue with him, and didn't bother to care about him, so he turned his gaze back: "Brother, where are your parents? Are they here too?"

"Well, Your Majesty summoned me, and I went to meet the saint."

Ruan Jiu's heart sank heavily, he wouldn't be so anxious over there, would he?It's not like he is still sick, so he is in a hurry to mention the matter of marriage, right?

He raised his head: "Brother, I..."

He wanted to confess everything to his brother, but when he was about to speak, he stopped again.

Don't let your brother know.If Ji Wu had to go, his elder brother would definitely go instead of him without saying a word.

He should confess to his parents.

Not long after, the Ruan family also hurried back.Ruan Jiu just drank the medicine and was sitting on the bed rubbing his stomach.

Looking at their expressions, Ruan Jiu guessed that they might not know about the marriage.

The family gathered around Ruan Jiu, put clothes on him, tucked in the quilt, and asked him how he was feeling, and if he wanted to invite the imperial physician to come over again.

Master Ruan saw that he was better, and was about to reprimand him: "I shouldn't have let you come, take a look..."

Before he could finish talking, Mrs. Ruan elbowed him aside: "Don't disturb me."

Master Ruan restrained his displeasure, eased his expression, stepped forward again, and asked Ruan Jiu, "Why don't dad go out and buy you some sweets?"

Mrs. Ruan said: "He is hot, what kind of candy should he eat? Go and go."

Master Ruan found a place to sit on the side, only then did he see Helian Zhu on the side.He was so quiet that Master Ruan didn't notice.

"Ouch." Master Ruan jumped up, "Why is he still here?"

Ruan He said: "Please don't go."

Master Ruan sat down again, and nodded to He Lianzhu: "The envoy is polite."

Ruan Jiu reminded: "Father, he doesn't understand Chinese very well."

When he said this, Master Ruan greeted him in a nonchalant manner, and Ruan Jiu was very surprised: "Father, you can also speak nonchalantly!"

Master Ruan proudly said, "What's wrong with your father? I learned it when I was doing business in the Northwest. Your mother still..."

"Don't show off, can you?" Mrs. Ruan straightened the hair around Ruan Jiu's ears, "It's so late, and my son is refreshed again, how do you let him sleep later?"

Master Ruan didn't dare to refute.Ruan Jiu smiled, hooked Mother Gou's sleeve: "Mom, I have something to tell Dad, you go to bed first."

Mrs. Ruan looked at the father and son, helped Ruan Jiu gather up her clothes, and was about to go out, she said softly: "Then go to sleep after talking." She turned to Master Ruan and said, "Blow on the lamp for your son when you leave. Don't let him get out of bed, catch the cold."

Master Ruan nodded again and again: "Yes, yes."

Mrs. Ruan and Ruan He were about to leave, Ruan Jiu turned his head and saw He Lianzhu was still sitting where he was, raised his hand and patted him: "Are you still going?"

Helian Zhu shook his head resolutely.

Ruan Jiu pushed him: "I'm talking to my father, you come back tomorrow."

He Lianzhu still refused to leave, and finally Ruan Jiu said: "I'm not angry anymore."

Although I don't know whether it is true or not, but after hearing this sentence, He Lianzhu reluctantly got up and left.

Only Ruan Jiu and his father were left in the room. After a long time of deliberation, Ruan Jiu mustered up the courage to speak up, and told his father everything slowly.

"On the afternoon when the envoy Jiwu came to Beijing for the first time, the eighth prince told me about the marriage in the building full of guests."

"A few days ago when I was playing polo, he told me that there was a banquet in the palace. The day I got home, I saw those eunuchs coming to the house to deliver posts."

"so I……"

Master Ruan asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Ruan Jiu shook his head: "If I told you, you wouldn't let me come over. Maybe it's my brother who fell into the water today."

"Your brother is much more cautious than you."

"My brother is here, and there is a lake in the palace. No matter how cautious my brother is, he won't be able to prevent others from pushing him down." Ruan Jiu shook his head vigorously, "And my brother will be selected."

"There are so many sons, where can I choose him?"

"As long as there is a one-ten-thousandth possibility, just... it won't work."

Master Ruan sat on the edge of the bed, raised his arms to wrap his arms around his shoulders, and patted his shoulder like a man, and said in a low voice, "You have grown up too."

Ruan Jiu shook his head, lowered his head and poked the patterns on the quilt with his fingers.

Master Ruan waited for him to speak for a long time before he heard him say: "I don't want my brother to come, but..."

"But I'm also so scared!"

In the end, Ruan Jiu couldn't help the red eyes, and wiped his eyes vigorously with the back of his hand, trying to wipe away the tears before Master Ruan found out.

Master Ruan hugged him into his arms and patted his back.

Get along with fucking men, this is his precious little son, he hasn't grown up yet!Never grow up!

"It's okay, it's okay, dad knows, let dad handle this matter, neither you nor your elder brother will be sent away, never."

Ruan Jiu leaned on his father's generous shoulders, crying and trembling: "I want to go home, I want to go home..."

Master Ruan patted him on the back to comfort him, and assured him again and again: "Don't be afraid, Xiaojiu, there will be dad supporting you when the sky falls. Go home, dad will take you home tomorrow morning."

While coaxing, he looked at the little son in his arms and sighed.

His youngest son, who was raised with pampering since he was a child, is even more sophisticated than the girls in Yong'an City.The family is harmonious, and they pamper him wholeheartedly. Although the friends they make are a bit dandy, they are all upright.

He had never seen any intrigue.

This time, as soon as he entered the palace, he was pushed into the water. How had he ever experienced such dirty things?It is natural to be afraid.

A person really couldn't bear it anymore, so I thought about talking to him, and it was hard to support him until now.

After a while, Ruan Jiu came to his senses, Master Ruan said: "Go to sleep, if you don't sleep, your mother will scold me again."

"Yeah." Ruan Jiu pulled the quilt, lay down on the bed, looked at his father, and wanted to confirm with him again, "Father, we will go home early tomorrow morning."

"Yes, go home early tomorrow morning." Master Ruan helped him put down the tent, "Sleep quickly, do you want me to let your brother come over to accompany you?"

"No." Ruan Jiu wiped his eyes, "He will see it, you are not allowed to tell him."

"Well, if you have something to do, call Dad."

Master Ruan turned around and blew out the candles. His last words were: "Is there anything your father and I can't do?"

Ruan Jiu still had a fever, cried for a long time, was restless, couldn't fall asleep even when he closed his eyes, he was in a daze for an unknown amount of time, and then Master Ruan woke him up.

His eyes were swollen like walnuts. Master Ruan helped him up: "Go, daddy will take you home, and you can go back to sleep when you get home."

Madam Ruan helped Ruan Jiu get dressed, and asked Master Ruan, "What's going on? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Master Ruan took the crane cloak in Ruan He's hand, wrapped it around Ruan Jiu, and carried him on his back.As he walked out, he said, "My son accepts the bed."

The little eunuchs serving in the palace seemed to have been ordered by someone to keep the Ruan family, especially Ruan Jiu, in the palace.

A group of people knelt down and knelt down.

"Master Ruan, the young master is still so ill. I'm afraid he can't bear the bumps on the way. We should stay for a few days until the young master recovers..."

"My son accepts the bed and is not used to living in the palace. I want to take him back to recuperate. Yesterday was because of the palace ban, so I didn't have time to leave the palace. Today the palace gate is open, so naturally I don't dare to disturb you. Please report to Your Majesty, my father-in-law. I took my son back first, and after I send my son home and settle him down, I will enter the palace again and thank His Majesty for forgiveness."

But how dare those eunuchs let him go?Master Ruan took a step outside, and they followed suit, just like that.

It just so happened that He Lianzhu also came at this time.It was still early in the morning, when I came to see him with the things I brought to Ruan Jiu in my hand, I ran into this scene.

Because he is the envoy of Jiwu, Master Ruan thought that he must have something to do with the marriage, so he didn't have a good look at him, so he walked past him behind Ruan Jiu's back.

He Lianzhu's eyes followed Ruan Jiu, without saying anything, but said to the group of eunuchs: "Go back!"

This was the first sentence of Chinese he spoke in public, because this group of listeners couldn't understand the harsh words.

The eunuchs were stunned for a moment, in a dilemma, they all backed away from Helian's ferocious gaze like killing a wolf.

He Lianzhu raised his heels to follow Master Ruan.

They have to go out of the palace gate, and there are guards in front of the palace gate.

Master Ruan carried Ruan Jiu on his back, and under the escort of He Lianzhu, he left the palace gate smoothly.

When sending Ruan Jiu into the carriage, Master Ruan finally felt relieved, he turned his head and said "Thank you" to He Lianzhu in harsh words.
