After running all the way to Ruan Mianmian's side, Li Yu was a little out of breath.
"Mianmian, are you going back?"
"Little brother, haven't you seen that the emperor is angry?" Ruan Mianmian turned around to meet Li Yu, "Whether he wants to be angry with the queen or the eldest princess, it is not good for me and my grandfather to be here."
Li Yu nodded to express his understanding: "If you enter the palace next time, please inform me in advance. I will take you around and we can go to the Imperial Garden."
Ruan Mianmian readily agreed and entered the palace in a hurry both times. She really wanted to visit the palace.
"Then be careful on your way back." Li Yu reluctantly held Ruan Mianmian's hand.
Pulling Li Yu aside, Ruan Mianmian lowered his voice and warned: "Little brother, you must remember to intercede for the eldest princess later."
"Why?"
"If the emperor asks, tell the truth about how she treated you in the past, but you have to be careful and keep it a secret."
Li Yu looked at Ruan Mianmian in surprise: "I don't want to give in anymore, lest some people take advantage of it."
"I know." Xiao Naituanzi smiled like a little fox, "Although what you said is true, it will arouse the Queen's disgust. The Emperor is angry at the moment, and if you think about it later, you will feel that you don't care about the relationship between brother and sister."
Li Yu revealed everything, and he suddenly realized: "I can only speak vaguely, and even cover up a few things for Li Ling, which is not very clever. My mother will not blame me, and my father may even let me know."
Someone go check it out."
"By the way, children can be taught." Ruan Mianmian stood on tiptoes and tried to act mature and pat Li Yu on the shoulder, but unfortunately he was not tall enough and could only pat his arm.
"High, really high." Li Yu's eyes flashed, and the little breast dumpling taught him another lesson.
Ruan Mianmian glanced in the direction of the main hall behind Li Yu: "Okay, go back quickly. If you have nothing to do, come to the Hou Mansion to play with me."
"Okay." Li Yu cupped his hands towards Ruan Genggong, who was not far away.
The old Marquis smiled and returned the favor, and Li Yu said goodbye to Ruan Mianmian before turning around and running away.
"Grandpa, aren't you curious about what I said to my little brother?" Ruan Mianmian just saw Ruan Geng deliberately walking away.
Ruan Geng slowly walked forward while stroking his beard: "Haha, didn't you just teach him a few tricks on how to deal with the eldest princess?"
"How do you know I will deal with her?" Ruan Mianmian asked, turning his head sideways.
"Because if you don't deal with her, she will deal with you. You little girl is not a good person."
"Oh, grandpa, you call me a bad boy. In fact, I am a kind-hearted person."
"Yes, yes, my beautiful and kind-hearted little baby, hurry up and get in the carriage."
While they were talking, they had already walked out of Kunyi Palace. The carriage of Ding'an Marquis Mansion was waiting outside. The grandfather and grandson got on the carriage and left the palace together.
Ruan Mianmian entered the palace and returned to the Ding'an Marquis Mansion without any danger. Ruan Geng was very satisfied with her performance. The grandfather and grandson also tacitly concealed the process of entering the palace. They just said that the queen was curious and wanted to see the little girl.
Just a dumpling.
After word spread that Ruan Mianmian had received a ruby necklace from the emperor, everyone knew that her status in the emperor's heart was extraordinary.
The small-breasted dumpling has become a popular figure in the capital. No matter whether it is the family members of the official family or the civil and military officials, everyone wants to see her.
Ruan Mianmian kept a low profile. She didn't see anyone anyway and just stayed in the house.
After returning from Prince Jing's Mansion, Lin Bingying was frightened and fell ill. It took several days to gradually recover.
She was so confused before that she didn't notice it, but now that she was completely awake, Lin Bingying was shocked to realize that Ruan Jin hadn't come to Yanlongyuan for a few days.
Although she did not break the layer of paper, Lin Bingying also knew that there was ambiguity between them.
Perhaps he has figured it out. She is the daughter of a guilty minister, and she once lived in a land of fireworks. She has a place to stay because she is taken in by the princess; and he is the direct grandson of the Ding'an Marquis Mansion, the dignified eldest son of the Ruan family, and his future is bright.
.
Lin Bingying told herself that it was time to wake up from the dream. Although she thought so, her heart felt as if it had been hollowed out. She lay sickly and paralyzed on the bed.
"Sister Lin, are you feeling better today?" Ruan Mianmian walked in with Jiu'er.
"The princess is here." Lin Bingying stood up.
Ruan Mianmian hurriedly supported Lin Bingying: "Just lie down. I have told you several times, but Sister Lin always doesn't remember. Don't always be the princess. Please call me Mianmian."
Lin Bingying smiled slightly: "Mianmian, I'm fine now, you don't have to worry."
"That's good. If you need anything, just tell my mother."
"Thank you." Lin Bingying looked at the hesitant look on Ruan Mianmian's face.
Ruan Mianmian sat on the edge of the bed and looked up: "Sister Lin, if you have anything to say, just say it."
It's not a question but an affirmation. Lin Bingying also knows that Ruan Mianmian is smart after getting along with her for this period of time, and she doesn't think there is anything wrong when she hears this.
"Princess, oh, no, Mianmian." Lin Bingying held Ruan Mianmian's hands but said nothing.
Ruan Mianmian was not in a hurry, she waited quietly, but Jiu'er, who had followed her, was anxious.
"If you have any questions, Miss Lin, just say it. Don't you still know the temperament of my princess? Anyone who can help will definitely help you."
"Thank you." Lin Bingying looked at Jiu'er and was very grateful, "Actually, it's nothing. I just want to say that I should move out."
"Is someone in the house gossiping or neglecting you?" Jiu'er shook his head again after finishing speaking, "Probably not."
"Sister Jiu'er, don't interrupt, please listen to what Sister Lin has to say." Xiao Naituanzi said.
Lin Bingying took Jiu'er's hand and half-turned to face Ruan Mianmian: "The people in the Hou Mansion are very good to me, especially the princess and Miss Jiu'er, you are so kind to me."
After finishing speaking, Lin Bingying paused for a moment before continuing leisurely: "I am not related to Ding'an Marquis Mansion. Besides, the princess's piano skills are far better than mine, so she doesn't need a piano teacher at all. I live here.
The name is unfair, the words are inappropriate, and it is against the rules.”
"Don't you want to go back?" Jiu'er said with disapproval, "If you go back, you won't be afraid of being sold again."
Lin Bingying smiled bitterly: "I will never go back even if I die. I have no other relatives except my father. That place is no longer my home."
"Sister Lin, please be patient." Ruan Mianmian said confidently, "Actually, I mentioned it before the emperor about your father, Minister Lin."
"Princess, are you pleading for my father?" Lin Bingying was surprised and happy, "What did the emperor say?"
"Your Majesty, give me a favor." Ruan Mianmian weighed it in her heart.
After much thought, Ruan Mianmian decided to say half to stay and the other half: "Anyway, you can continue to stay with peace of mind. I will do my best to deal with Minister Lin's affairs. If it doesn't work, we will come back to discuss your stay."
Seeing Ruan Mianmian's serious expression, Lin Bingying seemed to see hope. As long as her father could come back, she would have a family and someone to rely on.
Lin Bingying stood up and knelt down to give Ruan Mianmian a big salute. Xiaonuituanzi quickly reached out to stop her and signaled Jiu'er to help her up.
