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

The two sides confront each other and refuse to give in to each other.

He Lianzhu was holding the letter in his hand, Ruan Jiu was holding the broken box, and they both looked at each other coldly.

After the catastrophe, Ulan escaped from the room and closed the door for the rest of his life.

Anyway, the king and the queen won't fight, if he tries to persuade the fight inside, the more he persuades, the worse it will be.

The attendants all surrounded him: "Why did Master Ulan come out?"

Ulan waved his hand: "The king and queen are playing inside, don't hang around here, go out."

"Playing?" The attendants frowned and looked at each other.

"Ah..." Ulan froze, "No..."

Before he could explain, the attendants ran away.

Ulan glanced back, he had a feeling that when the quarrel was over, the king would definitely not let him go, but the queen would also intercede for him.

It seems that in the days to come, we still have to rely more on the queen.

He has been with the king for so many years, helping the king to manage the housework, but the king didn't pay attention to him at all. It's better to be the queen, cute and considerate. From now on, he will follow the queen wholeheartedly.

At this moment, He Lianzhu and Ruan Jiu were still confronting each other.

Ruan Jiu opened his round almond eyes, refused to blink, and looked straight at He Lianzhu.

"You said it yourself, when did you open it?"

Although He Lianzhu was a little guilty, he still had some reason, he was silent for a while, and whispered: "What?"

"The box." Ruan Jiu picked up the box and turned the broken lock, "You clearly promised me that I will look at it in five years."

Under the oppression of Ruan Jiu's gaze, He Lianzhu still had a little sense of reason: "...It wasn't me, it was the rat that bit me..."

Ruan Jiu frowned, and turned the copper lock again, and the lock hit the box with a crisp sound: "Do I look easy to deceive?"

"Yes." He Lianzhu answered with a touch of conscience.

Ruan Jiu gave him a gouging look, opened the box, flipped through the albums inside, trying to recall the order of these albums, and see how many Helian Zhu had read.

It's a pity that he hasn't seen these things much himself, let alone recall them.

He Lianzhu followed him to read, then Ruan Jiu slammed the box shut and asked directly, "How many books have you read?"

He Lianzhu raised his index finger: "One copy."

Ruan Jiu expressed doubts: "Really?"

Seeing that he couldn't be fooled, He Lianzhu could only hold up two more fingers: "Three books, really only three books."

Ruan Jiu was so angry that he wanted to hit him: "I haven't read three books yet, but you have read three books."

He Lianzhu said seriously: "If you want to watch it, you can watch it too."

"I don't want to see it. I'm not a puppy."

What does this have to do with puppies?Ruan Jiu's mind was obviously confused, and he was incoherent.

He Lianzhu took advantage of the situation to take away the box in his arms, held up the letter, turned his attack, and looked directly at him: "This matter has been finished, now let's talk about this matter, you know that Ulan is the Queen Mother You still want to help him hide the dark thread arranged by my side, don't you?"

"Yes." Ruan Jiu was straightforward, looking back, he admitted frankly.

"Why are you?"

"I just don't want you to know. If you know, you will definitely punish him. I don't want you to punish him. Anyway, he arrested me, and I don't mind. You don't have to worry about it anymore."

He Lianzhu's complexion darkened sentence by sentence following his words.

At this moment, Ruan Jiu raised his eyes, saw his expression, was startled by him, and took a step back: "You...what do you want?"

He Lianzhu frowned, almost crying: "Ruanjiu, do you like Ulan?"

"what?"

"You just like Ulan, so you want to keep him."

Ruan Jiu was taken aback by him again, and hurriedly said, "No, I don't like him."

"You just like him, so you protect him. You still think of me so badly, and I didn't say that I would punish him. I knew you liked him a long time ago, since I was on the ranch last time."

He Lianzhu squeezed his shoulder, looked straight into his eyes: "Don't like him, you don't like him!"

When Ruan Jiu didn't speak at all, he finally waited until He Lianzhu stopped, and then hurriedly said: "Got it, got it, I don't like him."

He Lianzhu's face turned pale, but he still had some doubts: "Really?"

"I used to 'like' for a while, but it didn't take long, and soon it was gone."

Helian Zhu's complexion turned bad again.

Ruan Jiu thought about it for a while: "At that time, I probably just liked him for being careful and caring. I liked him just like my father."

He Lianzhu subconsciously said: "Your father can't do it either!"

Ruan Jiu raised his eyes: "Say it again."

He Lianzhu didn't dare to say any more, but just looked at him aggrieved.

He Lianzhu's performance today was really abnormal, he suppressed his depression, felt aggrieved and pitiful.

Now that he recalled that Ruan Jiu was kidnapped by Ulan, and the two of them almost returned to Liang country together, he couldn't help but feel depressed.

Ruan Jiu took the letter from him, and took a look at it himself. Seeing He Lianzhu's appearance, he couldn't help saying: "Don't blame him, he doesn't want to do this, and he hasn't done anything else. matter."

He Lianzhu was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Understood."

"I know you are the best." Ruan Jiu hugged him, and wanted to say something to him, but when he thought of that, his ears turned red, and he let go without knowing what to say.

Ruan Jiu turned around to go out to eat fruit, and called Ulan to help him cut the watermelon. Before he could take a step, He Lianzhu grabbed his sleeve.

"Soft Chirp."

"what?"

Ruan Jiu turned around and saw his uncomfortable expression.

"I've grown up, I'm a man." He lowered his eyes, "If you think it's not enough, wait a few more years, I will grow bigger soon. Don't like others first, wait I will grow up soon."

Ruan Jiu stood where he was, and suddenly felt that he was too embarrassed to say that just now, it was really too bad.

If he didn't say anything, Helian Zhu was thinking wildly and almost wanted to cry.

So Ruan Jiu endured the slightly burning ears, held He Lianzhu's face with both hands, coughed lightly, looked into his eyes, and said: "I like you."

After saying this, Ruan Jiu felt the heat from his ears dissipate to his face.

He let go of his hand, and hurried out of the room: "Ulan, I want to eat watermelon, cut it in half for me, and get a spoon."

Helian Zhu, who was standing still, touched his ears.

When Ruan Jiu spoke just now, he covered his ears.Ruan Jiu spoke so fast and in a low voice that he couldn't hear exactly what Ruan Jiu said.

But he will watch the mouth shape.

Judging by the shape of his mouth, he didn't dare to guess.How could Ruan Jiu like him?Didn't Ruan Jiu always treat him like a child?

It was precisely because of this that he wanted to tell Ruan Jiu that he would grow up in no time.

He Lianzhu was at a loss by himself, and stood inside for a long time, I don't know how long it had been, anyway, when he went out, Ruan Jiu had already eaten half of the watermelon, and was rubbing his stomach and hiccupping.

He Lianzhu walked up to him, pinched his belly, and said in a low voice, "Ruanjiu, say it again."

"what?"

Ruan Jiu wanted to pick up the other half of the watermelon, but He Lianzhu held it down: "If you eat too much, your stomach will hurt." He avoided the attendants around him, and repeated: "Say it again, what you just said."

Ruan Jiu smiled and patted his back: "Stop thinking about it, grow up quickly, and marry your brother."

Unexpectedly, He Lianzhu's face was thinner than his, and he blushed only after hearing this sentence.

He suppressed his embarrassment and said, "It's not this one, it's the one you said in the room."

"You're too young, it's not good to hear that sentence too much."

Taking advantage of his trance, Ruan Jiu stretched out his arms, picked up the other half of the watermelon, grabbed the spoon and took a bite, and was about to put it into his mouth when He Lianzhu stopped him.

"I have already eaten half of it, and I will feel uncomfortable."

Ruan Jiu ate the scooped out watermelon meat in one gulp, then scooped up another spoonful and stuffed it into Helian Zhu's mouth: "Let me help you taste whether it's sweet or not, it's quite sweet, you can eat it. "

Helian Zhu chewed the watermelon, unable to express his feelings.

Ruan Jiu said that he liked him, and that he would wait for him to grow up.He Lianzhu took another bite of watermelon, it was a bit sweet.

But Ruan Jiu always likes to tell jokes, I don't know if he is telling the truth or lying.

And what Ruan Jiu said was that when he grows up, he will marry him, He Lianzhu married Ruan Jiu.

This is not good, Ruan Jiu seems to be teasing him.

He Lianzhu was still uneasy, looking at Ruan Jiu, he couldn't tell whether Ruan Jiu was telling the truth or just teasing him.

Can't tell, Helian Zhu can only blame himself.It would be nice to grow up a bit.

After returning to Shangjing, the remaining party of the queen mother brought back by He Lianzhu dared not do anything else. Eunuch Zhou went to claim the queen mother, the regent, and the dead body of the child. He was afraid of He Lianzhu and dared not say anything. Just set a fire, burned the bodies of the three people, and put the ashes in the jar.

This is a burial method that Liang Guo and Jiwu did not have. No one would use this burial method except for the most heinous people.But Eunuch Zhou had no other choice. He couldn't go to other places with three decaying corpses alone.

For Ruan Jiu's sake, He Lianzhu didn't make things too difficult for him, and just let him go.

As for the captured dead guards, of course they were to be executed secretly.

Eunuch Zhou held three jars in his arms. He didn't return to Liang, and he couldn't stay in Shangjing. The last thing he wanted to do was to say goodbye to Ruan Jiu in a simple way.

Eunuch Zhou has been haggard a lot recently, with white hair all over his head, as if the Queen Mother's death has taken away his whole energy.When he went to see Ruan Jiu, of course he didn't dare to bring the Queen Mother's ashes, he just hugged and saluted.

When Ruan Jiu saw him like this, there was still a little resentment in his heart, but it was all gone now.

He asked, "Where are you going now?"

He just released the remaining eunuchs in Wan'an Palace from the palace a while ago, since He Lianzhu didn't deal with Eunuch Zhou, Eunuch Zhou must also be out of the palace.

Ruan Jiu thought for a while: "How about I help you find a place? It also saves you from being too old and still running around outside."

"No need." Eunuch Zhou shook his head, "I've already found a place to go, so I don't need to bother you. Besides, it may not be convenient for you to arrange such a thing now. I'm not so cheeky yet, and I've already given you some trouble. Trouble, I have to trouble the young master before leaving."

"Then where are you going?"

"It's all about finding a place to retire."

Ruan Jiu asked again, but he refused to speak.

It should be because of the thought of never seeing each other again, Eunuch Zhou knew in his heart that he himself has not lived for a few years.

Ruan Jiu had no choice but to give him the money and send him away.

A few days later, the secret guard sent by Helianzhu to investigate came to report that the old eunuch walked westward, found a small ranch and stayed there without any changes.

He Lianzhu didn't care about him anymore, and didn't tell Ruan Jiu about it.

Then the dark guard presented a blood-stained package, which contained several books.

"At that time in Xiyuan City, the king ordered to surround Xiyuan City from top to bottom. A small team happened to meet Mr. Liu. During the stalemate, a new soldier missed and shot an arrow by mistake, killing Mr. Liu by mistake. .”

"The team was afraid of being blamed, so they dragged the body away and buried it hastily to conceal the truth. They drank some wine a few days ago before telling the story. Those people have been dealt with according to military discipline. Mr. Liu stayed behind luggage."

He Lianzhu held a corner of the package, opened it and took a look.

There were also bloodstains on the scroll, and the secret guard said: "It is said that before Mr. Liu died, he left a sentence for the queen. I don't know whether I should report it to the queen, so I came to ask the king first."

Helian Zhu frowned displeased: "What did he say?"

"He said that if the queen returns home one day to visit her relatives, I beg the queen not to tell his mother that he died like this. Just tell her that he died of illness, and it will be fine."

He Lianzhu was silent, but the hidden guard didn't understand what he meant, so he asked aloud, "Your Majesty, do you want to tell the Queen?"

He Lianzhu shook his head: "No, don't let him know that Liu Xuan is dead."

"Yes."

The dark guard was ordered to go down, and then he walked to the door, and suddenly heard Helian Zhu say: "Wait a minute."

He Lianzhu didn't know what he thought of, and finally said: "Tell him, just say a few words."

"Yes."

The dark guard led the order again.

He didn't know why He Lianzhu suddenly changed his mind, in fact, He Lianzhu just thought of himself from Liu Xuan.

Liu Xuan lied to Ruan Jiu, and he also lied to Ruan Jiu, and Ruan Jiu got angry every time.

He can't lie to Ruan Jiu anymore, even if he really doesn't want him to know about it.

Liu Xuan is a lesson from the past, He Lianzhu should learn to be smarter.

The dark guard came back soon.

"The queen didn't say anything, just sighed, said 'I got it', and played with Lord Ulan throwing pig bones."

He Lianzhu nodded, and also responded: "Understood."

He frowned, and suddenly caught an unpleasant thing: "The queen is with Ulan?"

The hidden guard was puzzled: "My lord, isn't Lord Ulan the one who takes care of the queen's daily life? What's so strange about him being with the queen?"

For the incident last time, He Lianzhu responded to Ruan Jiu's request and didn't make things difficult for Ulan. He asked him to go down and write a letter of love, explaining the things of these years clearly, and forget it.

Moreover, after Helianzhu came to power, he directly took the titles of concubines of Ulan and Getulu, and they are now ordinary fierce officials.

Ruan Jiu was very satisfied with the result.

But in fact, He Lianzhu was still not very happy in his heart. It was really helpless for Ruan Jiu to protect Ulan like this, even disregarding his own safety.

He Lianzhu thought for a while, and said, "Let Ulan and Getulu switch things up in the past few days."

"What does your Majesty mean?"

"Let Geturu accompany the queen, and let Ulan do what Geturu does."

"What Mr. Geturu did, I'm afraid..."

"I'm afraid of what? Ulan always does these things to take care of people. In the future, he won't even be able to marry a wife. He passed on my will, saying that I was doing it for his own good and let him lead the soldiers."

"Master Nagturu..."

Helian criticizes the public for self-interest, but still has plausible words: "Getulu always fights and kills, and doesn't know how to take care of others. After marrying a wife, he doesn't know how to take care of him. Sooner or later, the wife will run away with others. This is also for his own good. "

"Your Majesty Yingming."

Speaking of Ruan Jiu's matter, He Lianzhu couldn't help being childish and naive to show off: "When you marry a wife, you will know."

Dark Guard: Although I don't quite understand it, I feel that the king is very powerful. He really deserves to be the young and mature King Jiwu.

So the next day, Ulan and Getulu switched positions. Ulan led the patrol, and Getulu nestled next to Ruan Jiu, serving tea and water for the queen, and taking care of the queen's daily life.

Ruan Jiu lay on the couch, watching Getulu pinching his fingers and threading needles, feeling overjoyed.

"No, no, it's like this." Ruan Jiu sat up, took the needle and thread from him, rubbed it twice, opened his eyes wide, and started to thread the needle without moving.

Getulu looked curiously: "Queen, I tried, but I really can't get in."

"Don't talk." Ruan Jiu was a little annoyed, "When you talk, I can't get it right. Ulan does it well every time, so it must be you who can't."

"Fart, this thing just can't get in."

"Okay, you, how dare you talk to me like that!" Ruan Jiu returned the needle and thread plug to him, "You must get it in for me within today, or you will be punished."

When He Lianzhu first came in, he heard Ruan Jiu losing his "Queen's temper".

He is very satisfied, the queen and concubine should get along like this.

But the next moment, Ruan Jiu and Getulu got together again, because they were studying needlework, so they got very close together.

Ruan Jiu squeezed his hand: "It's not like this, look at me, this is how Ulan did it."

He Lianzhu put on a face like a king, and stepped forward to take Ruan Jiu away.

Neither Ulan nor Getulu could do it, he had to stay by Ruan Jiu's side all the time.

Before he knew it, Helian Zhu had been in power for a year.

In the past year, Zhuang Xian in the imperial court has been reformed, and the tentacles of the reform have penetrated into the folk villages. He Lianzhu's experience in Xiyuan City in these years has been useful, and together with the artisan classics that Ruan Jiu brought over when he was married, It's completely new up and down.

Between Jiwu and Daliang, a unified official road was built, which is no longer the small road that the grocery peddlers walked with their feet a few years ago.As a result, countless grocery peddlers rose up overnight and flocked to it, and slowly developed into a chamber of commerce.

Once the road was established between the two countries, Ruan Jiu planned to return to Liang State.

When he told He Lianzhu about this matter, He Lianzhu was originally unwilling to let him go back. It would definitely take more than half a year for him to go back, but thinking about Ruan Jiu's temper, he didn't dare to stop him. I'm afraid that if he gets angry, he won't come back.

Can only be silently depressed.

Ruan Jiu pinched his face: "Little pig, are you upset?"

"No."

At this time, He Lianzhu was already 16 years old, half a head taller than Ruan Jiu.

He was discussing with the courtiers, when Ruan Jiu came, he stood up to hug Ruan Jiu, and heard Ruan Jiu say that he was going back.

At that time, the courtiers were still there, so Ruan Jiu told them as a great witch that the queen should go back and have a look.

The courtiers didn't know what to say, and retreated under Helian Zhu's hint.

Of course He Lianzhu was not happy, but he couldn't force Ruan Jiu to stay.

Ruan Jiu could have left.Whether it was when He Lianzhu was not in charge, or after Helian Zhu regained power.

He had countless opportunities to leave, but he never left. Instead, he stayed here, accompanied Helian Zhu, and finally became a great witch.

Now that he wants to go back, Helian Zhu certainly has no reason to keep him.

He Lianzhu thought of many things to keep him, but finally he could only say: "Then you must come back, don't go too long, write to me."

"Understood, it will only be half a year. I will wear the crown soon, and I have to go home. The crown is only once in a lifetime. If I don't go back and do it, my parents and my brother will be very sad."

He Lianzhu looked at him, touched his black hair hanging down, and couldn't quite imagine what Ruan Jiu's hair looked like.

"That's a good look."

"It's different, after wearing the crown, you're a man."

"OK then."

Ruan Jiu also gave him Shun Mao: "I heard that you are adults. If I go now, I can come back half a year before your coming-of-age ceremony. I remember that the great witch will also attend the coming-of-age ceremony of the king, right? "

He Lianzhu nodded: "Well, the great witch wants to teach the king some adult things."

Ruan Jiu frowned: "Didn't I teach you a long time ago?"

He Lianzhu whispered: "It's not from the picture book, it's taught by the great witch himself."

Ruan Jiu noticed something was wrong: "I'll go back and ask Ulan if there is such a rule. Why is this rule so strange? Did you just make it up?"

"No, it was already there, and the queen also wants to teach it, anyway, it's Ruanjiu's teaching."

Ruan Jiu was almost certain that this was Helian Zhu's nonsense.

He gently tugged at He Lianzhu's hair: "Let you read less picture albums, your mind is in a mess, what are you thinking about?"

He Lianzhu didn't cry out for pain, just stood there, motionless, still looking at Ruan Jiu.

Ruan Jiu is going home soon, so if he takes one less look, of course he has to look more often.

He Lianzhu asked again: "Can't I not go back? I'll go back in a few years."

Ruan Jiu didn't answer, of course not, the specific reason, Ruan Jiu said very clearly just now, he wants to go back to hold the crowning ceremony.

He Lianzhu already knew the answer, so after thinking about it, he picked up Ruan Jiu, put him on the table, looked at him straight, and said seriously: "I haven't read many albums, I only read a few of the albums in your box. , If you don’t let me see it, I won’t see it much.”

Ruan Jiu smiled and patted his head: "Then I will allow you to read one after I go back."

He Lianzhu looked at him and said nothing, Ruan Jiu said again: "Then read two books, no more, and you will have a fever and get sick again."

He Lianzhu blushed, but Ruan Jiu couldn't tell much about his wheat-colored skin, only he felt hot on his face.

He Lianzhu put his head on his shoulder and nestled in his arms: "But Xiaozhu is really reluctant to let Ruanjiu go."

He rubbed against Ruan Jiu: "You need to touch Ruan Jiu."

Ruan Jiu patted his head, but he pushed Ruan Jiu down on the desk, and repeated it with an emphatic tone: "Be soft and pat."

After he finished speaking, he bent down and kissed the corner of Ruan Jiu's lips.

These years, he kissed Ruan Jiu, from the very beginning on the cheek.

Now that Ruan Jiu is about to leave, He Lianzhu still didn't take advantage of it at all, it really shouldn't be.So he plans to strike while the iron is hot tonight and attack with the whole army. He is going to kiss Ruan Jiu's lips first, and take the first step.

It's a pity that when I bent down, I missed it and missed it. What I kissed was only the corner of the lips, which was no different from the cheek.

He Lianzhu was a little annoyed, and pressed Ruan Jiu, ready to do it again.

This time it was Ruan Jiujiu who was blushing, he didn't know what he thought of, pushed He Lianzhu away, put his hands on his hands, tried to sit up and retreat, but his sleeve brought down the stack of memorials on the case.

Crashing all over the place.

He Lianzhu thought he was going to be scolded, but Ruan Jiu seemed to be frightened, and the corners of his eyes were red.

He Lianzhu asked: "Ruanjiu, are you crying?"

Ruan Jiu came back to his senses and pressed the corners of his eyes: "No!"

Then Ruan Jiu knew what a terrible answer he had given.

Because of Helian Zhu's eyes, green light suddenly lit up.
