Make You Happy

  Chapter 66 Sheltered by him

   Arrived at the imperial study room just after midnight, and there were already people talking with the emperor in the imperial study room at this time.

   On the contrary, the queen stood beside her, unable to speak.

   That person was Xiao Deyin, she was still dressed in white, her cold appearance seemed otherworldly. But when talking to the emperor, there was respect in his eyebrows and eyes.

  The two of them happened to be talking about something like "the heart is born and the words are established, the words are established and civilized, and the way of nature is also".

  Ruan Youqing doesn't know too much about famous literary works, at most, he can tell which work they are talking about.

  So, with a trace of apology for disturbing them, Ruan Youqing spoke weakly: "Youqing has seen the emperor and the queen."

  The two who were chatting freely finally stopped, as if they just saw someone coming in.

  Even though the queen didn't really like Ruan Youqing, her sudden appearance was a relief for her.

   "Youqing is here, come quickly, and chat with Zhen and Deyin for a while." The emperor's joyful expression was not fake when he saw Youqing. Because the Ruan family finally produced such a person who doesn't like to touch hands, this is really touching.

  Ruan Youqing looked up at Xiao Deyin, then smiled and said, "I'm afraid you will disappoint the emperor, Miss Xiao is very talented, and you are very knowledgeable, Your Majesty, Youqing..."

  The emperor smiled after hearing this, but just as he was about to speak, the door of the study was pushed open again, and it was Gu Changan and the second prince Li Qian who came.

  After Gu Changan came in, he saluted briefly, and then said lazily, "What did the emperor say to others? You are so happy, I heard your laughter from a long distance away."

  The emperor stroked his chin and said, "I had a great conversation with these two girls."

  The face of the empress on the side is getting worse and worse, except for the emperor, everyone else can naturally see it.

  Gu Changan glanced at Ruan Youqing, who was pretending to be terrified, and then continued: "Your Majesty, it's getting late. The empress is exhausted from managing the harem. She counted the silver earlier, and she can rest earlier."

  The empress did not accept this favor, and smiled very falsely: "The emperor has a very happy conversation with him, and I don't dare to disturb you lightly."

   There were thorns in the words, so the emperor could hear them clearly.

   "Queen, give them the silver quickly, these children have to hurry, don't waste time."

  「…」

   Being urged so mercilessly by the emperor, the queen was naturally uncomfortable. But she could only hold back her anger and called Ruolan, who was holding a package in her hand.

   "I have already exchanged the silver taels into bank notes, which is convenient for you to carry." The queen said with a half-smile.

   "The empress mother has a delicate mind, and the son admires it." Li Qian said with a smile.

   But what the queen heard was very ironic.

  Because, how could the queen do such a thing as exchanging silver taels for bank notes? It was clearly the emperor's order in advance, so she reluctantly asked someone to change it.

  Ruo Lan held the package, looked at Ruan Youqing, then at Xiao Deyin, then turned to the queen with a face of embarrassment, "The empress... the servant is stupid... this silver tael... to which lady?"

  The queen narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "You Qing, Deyin, you two, discuss it carefully, who will count and who will keep it?"

  Before Ruan Youqing could speak, Xiao Deyin had already stepped forward and said slowly: "It's better for the servant girl to take stock, keep this kind of thing, and leave it to Miss Ruan... wouldn't it be more reassuring?"

  Although he said this, everyone could hear that when Xiao Deyin talked about the Ruan family, he deliberately emphasized his voice and elongated his tone.

  This... is mocking Ruan Youqing's "knowledge of martial arts".

  Ruan Youqing pursed her lips with a flushed face, looking at a loss.

   It's just in my heart, but I don't like this Miss Xiao even more.

  The two of them had no intersection in their previous lives, so Ruan Youqing didn't have any other prejudice against Xiao Deyin. However, the inexplicable ridicule once or twice made Ruan Youqing a little annoyed.

   Xiao Deyin didn't want to see her so much, she didn't bother to get along with her anymore.

  The emperor also noticed that something was wrong, so he stopped smiling, and when he wanted to say a few words, Gu Changan took the words with a smile:

   "Indeed, it is reassuring to entrust the safekeeping to Youqing. After all, I am by her side."

  Such obvious protection made Xiao Deyin speechless.

  Ruan Youqing was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head shyly.

  The throbbing in his heart has already made Ruan Youqing a little at a loss.

  The emperor on the side was obviously very surprised by Gu Changan's words, but after realizing the relationship between the two, the emperor laughed loudly:

   "I thought that my Gu Shoufu would spend his whole life drinking alone with Ying, but who would have thought that he would fall into the pit of the Ruan family."

  After Gu Changan was teased, he just turned his head to look at Ruan Youqing who was still downcast, and then there was a slight smile on his face:

   "The minister is as happy as a sugarcane."

  …

  Everything is ready, Ruan Youqing, Gu Changan and others can finally set off.

  Just after leaving the city gate, Ruan Youqing heard someone calling her softly from the gate tower.

   Turning around, I happened to see my grandfather, mother and elder sister standing side by side on the gate tower and waving at her.

  But Ruan Youqing's heart suddenly twitched.

  Because of this scene, it suddenly complemented the nightmare of the gate tower in Changzhou in the previous life.

  Ruan Youqing only felt that her eyes were a little stinging, but because her family was saying goodbye to her and desperately concentrating, Ruan Youqing finally saw that under the sun, her grandfather and others were smiling and waving at her.

   With some difficulty, he raised his right hand and smiled, Ruan Youqing also waved to them to say goodbye.

   "Take care of yourself!" Ruan Youning yelled loudly, regardless of his image.

  Ruan Youqing moved his mouth, and when he wondered whether he should shout out, Gu Changan had already spoken for her:

  「I will take good care of her.」

   It's just that these words were not yelled out by Ruan Youning, but by Gu Changan relying on his own deep internal strength.

  Although the voice was low, it was clearly heard by Ruan Chong and the others.

  Hearing Gu Changan's answer, the worry hidden in the old man's brow and eyes finally dissipated completely.

  The shadows on the city gate tower are getting smaller and smaller, until finally they become black spots, and they are getting farther and farther away from Beijing.

  Going to Jingbian this time, Gu Changan was an imperial envoy, and the second prince Li sent him as a supervisor. In fact, he was sent by the emperor to learn Gu Changan's way of doing things. Together with Ruan Youqing, Xiao Deyin and their respective servants, there were no more than ten people who went to relieve the disaster this time.

  Ruan Youqing and Xiao Deyin were sitting in their respective carriages at this time, and her girl was with them.

  Originally, the two were supposed to be in the same carriage, but Xiao Deyin took another carriage from home on the grounds that he was not used to being with people.

  Ruan Youqing was so happy when he saw this.

   After all, she doesn't like being alone with people she doesn't know well either.

  As for Gu Changan and Li Qian, they were much more casual, each leading the way on their own horses.

  The mountain road to the south is very rugged. Gu Changan, who was riding in the front, frowned, and then looked back at Ruan Youqing's carriage, causing everyone to slow down.

  Ruan Youqing didn't like bumps. When the carriage made her dizzy and uncomfortable, the carriage suddenly slowed down, and the bumps also decreased.

  Although it cannot be compared with a flat road, fortunately it is not like before.

   After an unknown amount of time, when Ruan Youqing felt that she was about to fall asleep, the carriage stopped suddenly, and Ruan Youqing opened her eyes vigilantly.

  Listening to the noisy voices, there seemed to be a group of people blocking them in front of them.
