Chapter 221: The moonlight is just right
Chapter 221 The moonlight is just right
Ruan Youqing was sitting in front of the window, staring at the full moon outside the window in a daze.
The full moon like a white jade plate hangs in the night sky, and the surroundings it reflects are dyed with a soft halo.
But at such a quiet moment, Ruan Youqing could not calm down in his heart.
Not only because she was worried about Ruan Youning's affairs, but also because of... some little daughter's concerns.
Just as she was fiddling with a hairpin in her hand, there was a sudden sound outside the window, and then a figure stopped outside her window in such a majestic manner.
Just when Ruan Youqing frowned and was about to ask the other party's identity, the other party opened the mouth on his own initiative.
"Miss Ruan, can I have the face to accompany Gu to watch the moon outside the city?"
What broke into her ears was the voice that haunted her.
Gu Changan... came to her at this time...
Feeling a moment of joy in his heart, Ruan Youqing immediately gave up his reserve and ran out.
At this time, Gu Changan had already changed out of his previous black court attire. He was dressed in a moon-white robe with gentle brows and eyes. Matched with the moonlight, he seemed to have a trace of immortality.
It's just that unlike the fairy who is neither sad nor happy, Gu Changan's eyes are full of affection.
What Ruan Youqing was about to say was instantly buried in the watery warmth.
Seeing her blushing face looking at him, Gu Changan slowly opened his mouth and said, "Do you want to ask, why am I here?"
"Hmm..." Ruan Youqing immediately lowered her head subconsciously after hearing what he said. The responding voice seemed muffled because of bowing his head.
Gu Changan raised his foot and took a step forward, said with a slight smile, "I felt empty in my heart when I came out of the palace and returned to the mansion. I didn't realize why it was empty until I came to you."
Ruan Youqing raised his head to look at him as his heartbeat quickened due to his earnest and deep voice.
Clenching her hands tightly, Ruan Youqing said softly: "Today... you treated the princess of Yuhuan Kingdom so indifferently and ruthlessly at the banquet, are you not afraid that the people of Yuhuan Kingdom will hate us because of this and it will be detrimental to Ningguo? Although the emperor treats you very well, But if something really happened..."
Gu Changan raised his eyebrows lightly, ready to wait for her to finish speaking.
"If the relationship between Yuhuan Kingdom and Ning Kingdom deteriorates, the emperor will no longer be able to indulge you as you like."
Ruan Youqing saw that his expression was still relaxed, so his tone became a little hurried.
"Don't worry, these two people from Yuhuan Kingdom will not turn against our Ning Kingdom because of such things that they have no confidence in. Don't think that these two brothers and sisters act arrogantly, but their emperor is barely a wise king. And...this time they came here, not just for a simple visit." Seeing that Ruan Youqing was worried about him, Gu Changan stretched out his hand to rub the center of the other's brows, and patiently explained to her.
「Then...they want something from us?」
"Exactly. The Yuhuan Kingdom is near the sea and far away from the Central Plains. They don't have many things in the Central Plains. This time, they want to open a road for trade with us Ningguo."
Trade?
Yuhuan Country is near the sea, and Kening Country also has a border town near the sea. In terms of trade, Ningguo will not get much from Yuhuan Nation. On the contrary, the terrain of Ning country is complex and diverse, and its products are much richer than other countries.
If a trade route is deliberately opened up, Yuhuan Kingdom will benefit more than Ning Kingdom.
So, at this time, the Yuhuan Kingdom would definitely not dare to turn against Ning Kingdom easily.
With the measurement in mind, Ruan Youqing was completely relieved.
Seeing Ruan Youqing's watery almond eyes just looking at him like this, Gu Changan took a tight breath, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Would you like to accompany me to watch the moon outside the city?"
"Outside the city?"
"Yes, there is a good place outside the city, which is the best place to enjoy the moon near the capital. And... at this time... that beautiful place should belong to you and me only."
Ruan Youqing really became interested when he heard what he said.
Just…
"Why do you avoid those secret whistles every time you come? Even if they recognize you... they shouldn't let you in every time... After all... After all... You... You and I are not married yet... You, you, you always come looking for me in the middle of the night ...Finally...after all, it is not in accordance with etiquette." Ruan Youqing blushed and stuttered a few words.
"They didn't see me."
"Eh?"
"I said, they didn't see me. Your Ruan Mansion's secret sentry can guard against the world, but it can't guard against me, Gu Chang'an." At this time, Gu Chang'an suddenly forced Ruan Youqing to the corner, supporting the wall with his hands, and Ruan Youqing happened to be Imprisoned in front of him, the two breathed intertwined and looked at each other.
Ruan Youqing blinked his eyes, and then put his hands on his chest.
"You...you step back a little...it's too...too hot..." Ruan Youqing spoke incoherently, not daring to stare at Gu Changan anymore.
Just because of this, Gu Changan's eyes... are too hot.
"Now...but it's autumn..." Gu Changan said with a smile.
Ruan Youqing looked annoyed at being offended by him, and just pushed him hard, but Gu Changan held his hands tightly in his palms.
"Miss Ruan is really weak."
"Gu Changan!"
Ruan Youqing puffed up his face angrily, but now his almond eyes that were still watery were staring at him with embarrassment.
"Okay, okay, the moonlight is just right, let's go quickly, after all, the time has been delayed for too long." Seeing that she was really angry, Gu Changan had to take a few steps back as if begging for mercy.
Gu Changan, who is so cowardly, will turn pale with shock if he is seen by others.
but…
At this time, the two of them were indeed seen.
"I thought it was someone who could always get in and out of Ruan's mansion without hiding from the secret sentry, so it turned out...it was this kid!" Ruan Ye was hiding in the shadows in the distance, clenched his fists angrily.
If Mu Fei hadn't hugged his waist tightly, he would have rushed out at this time to teach this chief assistant who coveted his little Jiaojiao a lesson.
"Ah Fei, let me go, I'm going to beat him up. Come and meet us privately in the middle of the night." After Ruan Ye struggled a few times and found that he couldn't break free, he looked back at Mu Fei and spoke helplessly. .
Mu Fei, who stopped him, shook his head, and said with deep meaning: "Don't do to others what you don't want yourself to do to yourself."
「Ah Fei, what does this mean?」
"Before you and I were married, how often did you sneak up to me in the middle of the night?"
「This...this is different!」
"Only state officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps? This is not the style of our General Ruan."
"A Fei..." Ruan Ye's angry expression softened instantly.
"Don't worry, this kid, Youqing, won't mess around. And...you always have to give the two kids a chance to improve their relationship."
"Then... I'll listen to you. The two of them... eh???" After Ruan Ye nodded in agreement, he subconsciously wanted to see what the two of them were doing again.
However, when he looked over, he found that the two people who were there just now had disappeared.
