Chapter 104 Miss me, huh?
Li Runrun's heart was heavy as she was still thinking about the prince.
So he asked Ye Qiaoqiao, "Can the prince come?"
"How come the prince is here? They are all women from the harem."
Li Ruanruan heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this and looked at Ye Qiaoqiao: "Do you want to be in the spotlight?"
"I want to surpass Ye Shuang, save face, and leave a good impression in front of Madam Gu. That will be good in the future..."
Li Ruanruan joked, "It will be easier to discuss marriage."
Ye Qiaoqiao blushed: "Ruanruan, please help me. I haven't decided what to give her yet."
Li Ruanruan also laughed: "I have an idea. I'll give you a double-sided folding screen with different-colored embroidery. Scarcity makes things valuable, and double-sided embroidery with different colors is a treasure among Suzhou embroidery. Although it is a little difficult to embroider, it is also very unique."
Ye Qiaoqiao seemed to have traveled back to the day of the birthday party and was the center of attention.
She immediately clapped her hands, sweeping away her previous grievance and sadness: "Great, I want to embroider it myself, Ruanruan, you teach me."
"Okay, we Qiaoqiao will rely on our own efforts to marry into a good family."
"Oh, shut up and stop laughing at me."
The two of them started playing around, and Li Runrun was tickled and laughed until she was out of breath.
It seemed as if the depression and melancholy in my chest had dissipated a lot.
Tired of laughing, Ye Qiaoqiao threw herself into her arms, pulled her sleeve, with a smile on her face, thinking of Gu Yuanqing.
The last time she gave him the Suzhou embroidery, he praised her a lot. When she thought about it, she still felt sweet inside.
Li Ruanruan touched the sable fur on Ye Qiaoqiao's collar. It was comfortable and soft, and she stroked it again and again.
But thinking about many things.
The prince’s engagement.
The prince's affairs.
The prince is of noble status and is a descendant of a royal family. In the future, he will be a king who is above everyone else.
He hasn't even married a Crown Princess yet, so he wouldn't be planning to marry a concubine so soon.
If the prince does not have this intention, it would be best for the eunuch to handle the matter impartially. If the prince does have this intention.
Before the Crown Prince marries the Crown Princess, Ye Qiaoqiao can be married off quickly, or there is no need to marry her, as long as Ye Qiaoqiao is engaged and the other party pays the betrothal gift.
This matter also fell through.
Li Runrun breathed a sigh of relief. If Ye Qiaoqiao married a wrong man because of Su Xiu's incident, Li Runrun would also feel uneasy.
Once you think this through, you'll have an idea.
But what should she do about the prince's engagement?
Li Runrun and Li Bai returned to the east courtyard together. She warmed her hands in front of the stove, and before she knew it, it was getting dark.
Li Bai lit a candle and the room became brighter. Li Bai moved closer to Li Runrun and looked at her.
Then he wrote on her palm: "Tongfang, is there something on your mind?"
Li Ruanruan's face was warmed by the charcoal fire. She smiled at Li Bai and then shook her head: "I'm just a little bored."
Li Bai happily wrote: "Then I'll go see if the prince has returned."
She was about to go out, but Li Runrun held her back.
Li Bai turned around, and Li Ruanruan said, "Don't go."
Li Bai didn't understand why.
Li Ruanruan just stood up, and she said again: "I will go myself."
She still went to test the waters.
Li Bai immediately understood and laughed jokingly.
Li Runrun felt a little embarrassed by her laughter and walked outside.
When I opened the curtain, the cold wind outside made me shiver.
It was already dark, and although the lights were on in the yard, it still seemed a little gloomy, especially as the cold wind blew through the bamboo forest, making a rustling sound, which added a bit of the bleak feeling of winter.
Li Bai wrapped a fox fur cloak around Li Runruan, and Li Runruan also felt cold, so she wrapped herself in it.
It was too cold and the servants were lazy.
Li Runrun was so cold standing in the corridor. The wind was not so strong when she went out in the afternoon. The temperature had dropped again. It seemed that it would rain or snow in the next few days.
A few withered yellow bamboo leaves were blown to her feet, then rolled up and flew away.
I don’t know why, but Li Runrun felt a little sad.
She was about to lift the curtain and go back when she heard a noise.
Looking up, I saw a secret guard holding a lantern and walking in front to light the way, and following behind was Ye Yunchu.
He seemed not to be afraid of the cold, and wore thin clothes even in winter, looking handsome and elegant.
When the servants learned that he had returned, led by Haitang, they all went to greet him.
Liruanruan could still hear Haitang's caring voice: "It's so cold, the people down there are even more useless. How come they don't even give me a windproof cloak to wear?"
Someone brought over the best white fox fur, but Ye Yunchu raised his hand to indicate that he didn't need it.
Haitang was about to put it on him, but when she saw him raise his hand, she had to give up.
Ye Yunchu didn't seem to care much, and he really didn't feel cold at all. He looked up and saw from afar, under the lamp, in front of the ear room, Li Ruoruan, wrapped in fox fur, stretching her neck eagerly to look in his direction.
Is the little concubine waiting for him to come back?
Why are you so enthusiastic today?
I think her leg has healed, and thinking about how good he has been to her these days, she couldn't sit still when she learned he was back. After all, they have been so close to each other these days.
I just like him like this.
Can't be apart for even a moment, one day apart feels like three years?
The corners of Ye Yunchu's lips curled up, and he was so happy that he didn't even realize it.
He turned and walked towards the ear room where Li Ruanruan was.
When Li Runrun saw him coming, she walked towards him quickly.
In Ye Yunchu's opinion, she was so impatient that she ran towards her in a hurry even though the injury on her leg had not healed yet.
She was a lovely and pitiful person. She knew that the wind was strong and his clothes were thin, so she was reluctant to let him walk a few more steps and be exposed to the cold wind for a while longer.
To come and meet him.
She has always been so considerate and caring.
It made his love for her not in vain.
He slowed down his pace, and sure enough, Li Ruanruan came up to him, took off the fox fur coat, and put it on him.
This time, Ye Yunchu did not refuse, and his heart was burning with joy.
He opened his fox fur cloak, which still held her warmth, and wrapped her in his arms, holding her hand. "Your hands are so cold, and your body can't stand the cold. Why did you come out to wait for me?"
Li fell softly into his arms, feeling real and warm. She wanted to open her mouth, but she was choked with sobs and had to hold it back.
There was no speech for a moment.
Ye Yunchu thought she was shy and embarrassed, so he hugged her tighter: "Do you miss me like this?"
Li Ruanruan followed his steps and was led into the main room.
Hearing this, he murmured, "Yeah."
When they reached the main room, he did not untie the fox fur coat, but kept it wrapped around her, and carried her all the way to the couch, holding her in his arms.
Then he looked up and said, "Untie this thing."
Li Ruanruan sat on his lap and reached out to untie the red string of the fox fur. She looked at Ye Yunchu and asked softly, "Master, are you tired today? Where have you been?"
It seems that he is very concerned, but in fact the last three words are the key test.
Ye Yunchu lowered his eyes to look at Li Ruanruan, then said, "I was having a drink outside today, and I thought the snacks there were good, so I brought some for you to try."
He called out, "Haitang, bring in the food box I brought."
Haitang hurried in carrying a lunch box.
Li Runrun looked at the food box and found that it was exactly the same as the food box that the prince gave to Miss Xu.
