“Why does Gonggong bother to ask more?” Jiang Rui squinted at him. “It’s like this bracelet. Even if I don’t agree, Gonggong still makes me wear it. What’s the difference if you don’t ask?”

Lu Xingzhou smiled slightly, wishful thinking and being accepted are of course different. But no matter which one it was, at least for now, her hand was in his palm, and that was enough.

He lowered his head to look at the hands carefully. The bruises on her wrists that had been gripped by him had disappeared and there would never be a chance to reappear in the future. “I apologize to Niangniang for my previous recklessness in the past. I hope that Niangniang will forgive me once.”

“If I don’t forgive, what shall you do?”

“Of course, I should obey Niangniang.” Lu Xingzhou smiled helplessly, “I just beg Niangniang not to drive this minister away from her side.”

He spoke pitifully and lowered his posture. But, both Jiang Rui and he knew that even if she wanted to drive him away, she would not be able to drive him away. This is nothing more than his usual style. It seems polite and humble, but in reality, he can’t be refused.

Suddenly, there was a little movement outside the hall. Jiang Rui listened attentively and heard the voice of Hanyan. Presumably, she came back after delivering the brocade and found something abnormal in Chang’an Palace, but she did not come in, so she should be stopped.

“It’s time for Gonggong to go back.” She said.

“I really want to watch Niangniang fall asleep.” Lu Xingzhou sighed lightly. But needless to say, he knows that it is impossible right now, so he reluctantly put down Jiang Rui’s hand and said softly, “Nianiang, go to bed earlier. This minister will leave and will come back tomorrow.”

Jiang Rui sat without moving, watching him go out.

Outside the gate of the hall, Hanyan was burning with anxiety. Before entering Chang’an Palace just now, she had a vague feeling that something was wrong. As soon as she entered the palace gate, she immediately found that there were people of Lu Gonggong guarding the outside of Niangniang’s sleeping hall. There was only a dim lamp in the palace and no one who should be serving was inside. She immediately realized that there were only Niangniang and Lu Gonggong inside now.

It’s so late, what is Lu Gonggong doing? Why not let people be served? Why be alone with Niangniang?

Hanyan remembered the strange eyes of those people in the palace of other concubines recently, remembered the sudden polite attitude of Sanqi, and remembered the good things Lu Gonggong had sent. She suddenly felt panicked, then thought of the bruises on Niangnianng’s hands a while ago, and tears fell.

When the palace door opened, she did not even care about etiquette and rushed in.

“Niangniang! Oh…”

When Jiang Rui heard the cry, she turned her head in surprise, “Why, did people outside bully you?”

“You have suffered.” Hanyan rushed forward. She pulled up her right hand, expecting to see a hand of black blue, but the whole arm was white and flawless. Not to mention black-green scars, not even a few cold hairs.

She wiped away her tears and then went to hold the other hand. Only to see that the hand was heavy, full of bracelets and rings, and did not even have room for her thumb. She was afraid that even a rich man in the country would not be so rich and powerful.

Hanyan let out a cry and hiccuped, staring blankly at Niangniang who should have been calm and elegant, but had an inexplicably delicate temperament at this time.

Jiang Rui shook her arm, jingling for a while. She also felt that Lu Xingzhou had a good eye. All the things he sent were treasures, but his taste… It’s really hard to say. The nouveau riche with big gold chains in the previous few worlds may have to bow down to him when they see him.

The author has something to say:

Regarding the question of whether the fourth child can do it or not, someone asks the author, let me tell you. First of all, he must be a real eunuch, and then I checked the information. At first, eunuchs cut all their p*nis, but later it was found that cutting the p*nis could easily cause death, so it became a cut-off egg and left p*nis. Later, with the development of medicine, the resulting death rate was greatly reduced and the method of full cutting was restored, such as in the Qing Dynasty. But I don’t want to write about the Qing Dynasty, so let the fourth child be a big eunuch without balls.
