The man sat in the carriage, his face dignified, and said softly, "It won't be long. It's getting dark, and the road is not safe. I'll take you back."

His eyes fell on Shen Ruyi's face without avoiding or avoiding.

Shen Ruyi blushed, "I'm going to say goodbye to Master."

"Bang"!

The old beggar closed the door and said, "Since His Majesty the Ninth Prince wants to see you off, then hurry up and leave. I am going to sleep now."

Shen Ruyi was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses and a smile appeared on her face.

She didn't act pretentiously and climbed onto Rong Yan's carriage directly, "Thank you, Your Highness. Are you cold?"

As she spoke, she stuffed the hand warmer in her arms into his hand.

"It was a bit cold at first, but it's not cold anymore."

Rong Yan glanced at the hand warmer in his palm and laughed.

He reached out and hugged her in his arms, pulling his cloak around her, "Junior sister, you shouldn't mind... this, right?"

Shen Ruyi leaned on his chest and heard his heartbeat.

Only then did I realize that the sound of a person's heartbeat is more beautiful than any music in the world.

"I don't mind. After all, His Highness said that he would be responsible for you." She lowered her head and looked at his hand.

The man reached out and took her hand, and put it on the hand warmer, and they both warmed it together.

Shen Ruyi's hand, sandwiched between the hand warmer and his palm, gradually began to heat up, and her heart beat irregularly. "In a few days, at the Gu family's old lady's birthday banquet, I will break off the engagement with Gu Qinghua."

The man chuckled when he heard this, "Then I allow you to use your chance."

"Your Highness, will you agree to any conditions I propose?" Shen Ruyi blushed and looked up at him.

It was getting dark and his outline was not very clear.

But the smile on her face seemed to illuminate her with a layer of light, "Yes."

Shen Ruyi's heart beat faster and she couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.

He hooked his eye again and smiled.

The man's mouth corners raised.

The originally boring future seems to have become vivid and worth looking forward to.

As night fell, the carriage moved slowly on the road. Shen Ruyi leaned in his arms, and for a moment she hoped that this road would have no end.

She fell in love with Rong Yan.

The feeling in your heart won’t lie.

While waiting to get off the car, she couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, I am studying medicine. I believe that one day I will be able to cure your leg."

The car curtain was lifted, and the lanterns at the gate illuminated Yan's face inside the car, making him look somewhat mysterious and charming.

A smile appeared on his face, "Okay."

A disabled person cannot inherit the throne, and no one would scheme against him, so he has lived a comfortable life over the years.

But if it was for her, he was willing to stand up.

"Then wait for me." Shen Ruyi's heart was filled with enthusiasm. "I will learn Master's skills as soon as possible, and I will definitely be able to surpass Master."

"I trust you."

The man looked at her gently and said, "Go back quickly. The sky is going to clear up. It's very cold."

I don't know when the snow stopped.

The sky was bright and the moonlight was pouring down.

Yes, that’s the feeling of his voice when he speaks, cool and clear, yet as soft as jade.

It sounds extremely good.

Shen Ruyi felt inexplicably reluctant to leave. She stared at him for a moment, then turned around and ran out the back door.

It turns out that loving someone and trying hard to please someone are two completely different feelings.

Falling in love with Rong Yan can make her steps lighten, see scenery that she had not seen before, and a future that she could not imagine before.

Trying to please Gu Qinghua would only drain her away step by step, making her feel like she was falling into an ice cellar or an abyss, from which there would be no recovery.

"Your Highness, your legs..."

After the people left, Han Jiang turned his head and looked at Rong Yan, a little hesitant, "With Miss Shen's talent, it won't take long for her to feel your pulse. This feeling will easily reveal any abnormalities in your body."

"No problem."

The man smiled and said in a terrifyingly gentle voice, "If it's her, I have nothing to hide."

If she was interested in him and wanted to find out more, that would be what he wanted most.

After all, that way, her heart would be firmly on him.

Shen Ruyi actually didn't go far.

She hid under a tree inside the back door and peeked at the carriage outside, just wanting to take one more look.

"Let's go. If we don't leave, some people will freeze to death."

Rong Yan is good at martial arts and has strong internal strength, so he can easily discover the little tricks in the courtyard.

After glancing at the crooked tree, he chuckled and lowered the car curtain.

Han Jiang raised his eyebrows, "Ms. Shen is probably in love with you."

In the car, the corners of the man's mouth turned up, and the smile lasted for a long time.

Shen Ruyi watched the carriage leave, then walked briskly back to Xifeng Courtyard and began to look at the homework she had brought back today.

When Fang Fei saw her coming back, she hurried forward and said, "Miss, why did you come back so late today? The master has been here twice!"

"What do you want from me?"

Shen Ruyi raised her eyes, feeling a little sarcastic.

Without waiting for Fang Fei to speak, Shen Cangyun came in with two embroiderers, with a complicated expression, "Ruyi, the embroiderers are here to take your measurements and make clothes for you. They are the best tailors in the city. You can tell them what style you want."

Through the door, his eyes fell on his daughter, and he remembered the words his eldest son brought him when he came back today.

He overestimated himself, underestimated the old beggar, and underestimated his daughter.

The only thing we can do now is to let her marry Gu Qinghua as soon as possible.

Once she had a child, she would be tied up by the child and would only consider Gu Qinghua in everything. In this way, she was also considering the Prime Minister's Mansion in disguise.

Otherwise, once she loses control, the consequences will be disastrous.

Shen Ruyi met his gaze, so how could she not know what he meant?

It was just that everyone was acting, so she just followed suit, so she stood up and bowed, "Thank you, Daddy, for all the hard work."

Then, she said to the two embroiderers, "Excuse me, aunts, please come in."

"Well, go and take measurements for the young lady."

Seeing that she was gentle and sensible, Shen Cangyun felt a little relieved and motioned for the two aunts to go in.

The embroiderer went in to measure Shen Ruyi's body.

Shen Ruyi cooperated very well and had no complaints.

Shen Cangyun looked at her quietly, feeling relieved. "Ruyi, Daddy knows he is sorry for you. But what your master said today is right. Jiaojiao was lost outside. It was indeed the fault of Daddy and your five brothers. It has nothing to do with you."

"It's Daddy and my brothers' fault. Don't take it personally. If you want something, just tell Daddy. Daddy will satisfy you."

Shen Ruyi wanted to laugh after hearing this.

She had told Shen Cangyun what her master had said when she was crying, but all she got in return was two slaps in the face and she was placed under house arrest in Xifeng Courtyard for half a month.

Now it was the Master's turn to speak, and he was able to listen.

It's nothing more than bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

With a cold smile in her heart, Shen Ruyi said, "I don't want anything, but I am about to get married. I hope that the Prime Minister's Mansion will prosper without a daughter, and I hope that my father's wish will come true."

I hope Shen Jiaojiao can send this family to heaven.
