"Yang Ying... was frightened during the day and had nightmares so she didn't dare to sleep. She came to see me last night, so Pindao went to her room and sat there all night."
Dang rang ~
Ren Ruyi's face turned cold, and the porridge bowl in her hand was placed on the table.
"Not to your liking?"
"What a ghost! Give your apprentice a drink!"
boom!
Ren Ruyi actually rushed out of the room, and the collision between the door and the threshold turned into a strong wind.
The Taoist priest chased out of the room and ran into Ren Ruyi's bulging face. The woman did not leave but stood at the door. Following the woman's gaze, Jingting saw Ouyang standing in the center of the courtyard not far away. Beside the prepared carriage.
"That... Ruyi..."
"Deal with my mother first, and when she leaves, I will take care of you!"
Staring at Jingting fiercely, Ren Ruyi turned her head and revealed a bright smile on her pretty, reddish face like she was turning over a book.
"Mom, you must pay attention to safety when setting off this time. When you get to the place prepared by Liudaotang, send me a message."
The two walked to the carriage, and Ren Ruyi took his adoptive mother's hand.
"Don't worry, mother will pay attention."
Ouyang turned his attention to Jingting: "Child, I know you are going to do something big, but no matter what, you must protect Ruyi."
"Don't worry, Auntie."
Jingting nodded.
"I called you mother yesterday. Wasn't it quite affectionate?"
"mother."
"Hey~" Looking at the Jingting Ouyang family in front of him with a smile on his face, he stretched out his hand to pull the Taoist aside: "My mother saw the way Ruyi rushed out of the room, why are we quarreling?"
"Mom, it's my fault."
Jingting lowered her head: "I did things carelessly and did not consider Ruyi's feelings."
"My mother doesn't know much about you young people, but I know that my family is Ruyi. It's love that hurts you. Don't break her heart."
"Mom, don't worry, Xiaoxu understands."
"Okay, okay, when you finish your work and come to see me again, bring the betrothal gift with you."
Patting the back of Jingting's hand, Ouyang boarded the carriage that had been prepared and drove out of the inn.
"As you wish~"
Jingting moved closer to Ren Ruyi.
"Humph╯^╰" The woman turned her head and left without even looking at Jingting.
Ning Yuanzhou stepped forward and patted Jingting on the shoulder, and then Yu Shisan, Sun Lang, and Yuan Lu also came up to join in the fun.
Snapped!
When it was Qian Zhao's turn, Jingting grabbed his hand that patted her shoulder.
"You've already told them what you saw last night, right?"
"They are the only ones who won't go out and talk nonsense."
boom! boom!
Jingting also patted Qian Zhao's shoulder. After two muffled sounds, Captain Tiandao squatted down with his hands on his shoulders.
——————
The mission stopped in Jingcheng to rest, and everyone also had a rare moment of leisure.
After finishing today's homework, Yang Ying took Yuan Lu to play. The two chased and ran in the courtyard, and the laughter spread throughout the inn.
Ren Ruyi was watching not far away, with a smile unconsciously showing on his face.
"Ahem..."
Jingting quietly floated to Ren Ruyi's side.
Ren Ruyi turned his head away, but he didn't leave.
"Pindao is here to apologize to Ruyi."
Jingting moved closer to Ren Ruyi: "There are some things that I... didn't take into account the girl's feelings."
"Then how do you plan to compensate me?"
"How about this?"
Jingting conjured a red sword spike like a magic trick. On the sword spike, fine golden threads were outlined, and a blooming platycodon flower bloomed quietly.
"Did you do this?"
Ren Ruyi took it and held it gently in his palm.
"I made it up myself and gave it to you."
"Hmph, have you made it up to other girls?" Ren Ruyi raised her chin and looked at Jingting, who was much taller than her.
"not yet."
"Then it won't be allowed in the future, you can only give it to me, you know!"
"My wife's orders must be obeyed by my husband."
"Bah! Who is going to marry you!"
"Your mother agreed..."
"Looking for a fight!"
Phew~
Ren Ruyi's palm that hit Jingting was dodged, and the chasing Taoists ran around the courtyard.
When he was tired from running, Jingting hugged Ren Ruyi and sat on the wall of the courtyard, watching Yuan Lu and Yang Ying playing games in the courtyard.
"You really don't feel Yang Ying's affection for you, or you're just pretending." Leaning in Jingting's arms, Ren Ruyi's voice was slightly dangerous.
"She is still young and doesn't know much about relationships yet. When she grows up, she will naturally understand."
"She can make a lifelong private contract with that Zheng Qingyun."
"So she doesn't understand."
"Say it like you know it."
"I don't understand either, but I met a good girl and she will teach me forever." Jingting hugged Ren Ruyi tightly and rubbed the tip of her nose.
"Ah, it takes you a lifetime to learn it! That's too stupid." The woman laughed.
"Then make me a little dumber, and you will teach me in the next life."
Under the sinking sun, Ren Ruyi hugged Jingting's neck, their lips pressed together, like a still ink painting, gradually drifting away.
After a long time, the lips parted.
Yang Ying's silvery laughter interrupted the two of them. The girl was slapping Yuan Lu on the back and chasing the boy.
"Ning Yuanzhou told me to be stricter in class because you usually dote on her too much."
Ren Ruyi tilted her head: "It is indeed a bit too doting. Even I...even I can't help but be a little jealous."
"Look at her, who is she?"
"She is Yang Ying, the King of Ceremonies of Wu State. She shoulders the mission of going to Anguo to protect the people."
"Ning Yuanzhou, you, and everyone in the mission, you have all forgotten that she is still a girl of only sixteen years old."
Jingting's low voice came: "Father is dead, mother is not here, brother and sister-in-law want to kill him, plus Zheng Qingyun's betrayal, in the world, she is the only master left with me. If I don't pamper her, who will." "
"But……"
"Stop talking about this. I heard from Qian Zhao that there is a Tu Tu Temple on the outskirts of He County. The marriage tree in the temple is very efficacious. Let's go there and pray for it tomorrow. Please pray to Tu Tu Gong to protect our marriage from too many hardships. .”
"Okay, but not tomorrow. The bandit attack brought by Zheng Qingyun has disturbed the nerves of Anguo's senior officials. Ning Yuanzhou said that Anguo's introduction will come to see him tomorrow."
Listening to Jingting's request for marriage, Ren Ruyi lightly punched the Taoist next to him, and then said calmly: "The introduction envoy Changqing Marquis Li Tongguang is said to be a ruthless character. He captured the Emperor of Wu State on the battlefield. If you are not here, Yang Ying will be afraid. Yes, I also want to take the opportunity to test the current situation in Anguo."
"Okay, let's go before we leave. The Earth Temple won't run away." Jingting nodded.
Leaning on Jingting's chest, Ren Ruyi turned his attention to Yuan Lu and Yang Ying who were laughing in the courtyard: "Look at how happy they are laughing. I'm afraid they won't be able to laugh so happily when we arrive in Anguo in two days. "
"Yes, I like this kind of smile. One day, Pindao will make the people in the world smile like this."
Under the first moonlight, Ren Ruyi raised her head and gazed at Jingting's face. The Taoist's expression was as usual, and he spoke out bold words that she could not even imagine.
——————
In the courtyard of the inn.
Yang Ying, who was a little tired from playing, sat on the grass covered with fallen leaves, hugged her legs, and watched in confusion as Ren Ruyi and Jingting jumped off the courtyard wall, holding hands and walking towards the room.
"Your Highness, Your Highness~"
Yuan Lu held a small butterfly and came close to Yang Ying: "Your Highness, look, this is a butterfly I made myself. Although it is made of wood, it can also fly. Look, it's fun."
Yuan Lu controlled the wooden saucer to rise into the air and fly around Yang Ying.
Snapped!
Yang Ying slapped the wooden plate down and it fell to the ground.
"What are you playing for?"
