Jiang Ruan sat down in front of him, thought for a while, and saw the teapot on the table, and reached out to pour himself a cup of tea.

Xiao Shao saw that she didn't say anything, and the atmosphere was a little strange for a moment. Finally, Jiang Ruan broke the silence and said, "Thank you last night."

In such a polite way, Xiao Shao's brows frowned a little tighter, and his tone was slightly chilled: "No need to say this between you and me."

He was a little weird. Jiang Ruan noticed his abnormality and said strangely: "Is something happened?"

Xiao Shao turned his head, paused, and said, "I have returned to Beijing, and I should prepare for the wedding banquet. Today I will go to the palace to meet the saint. Have you thought about this?"

Jiang Ruan was stunned. He didn't expect that what he was talking about was this matter. He smiled slightly: "I have thought about it, when will you say it."

She was so refreshed, without a trace of shame, Xiao Shao's expression was a little relaxed, and suddenly he thought of something, and said, "I heard from Jin Er say last night's scene. Thank you for guarding the Jinying Palace for me. But there is no need to do this in the future." His eyes were cold, and his thin lips were pursed like a knife, and he said, "The most important thing in the palace is not honor and secret, but you."

Jiang Ruan was stunned for a moment, and she felt a little confused. She smiled and said, "Since I am the heroine here, I will take on some responsibilities, but in fact..."

"You are always my Xiao Shao's woman." Xiao Shao interrupted her: "You don't have to do anything."

Jiang Ruan was slightly stunned, only to feel that Xiao Shao's words seemed to have inexplicable emotions. He was strange in his heart and looked at him. The young man stared at her directly, his deep and deserted black eyes almost reaching the heart.

Xiao Shao is cold on the surface, but in fact he is strong and domineering. For example, in this moment, he has some intention to take her for himself. Jiang Ruan thought about it and shook his head in his heart. Xiao Shao was naturally introverted, not like someone who showed emotions, but was afraid that something would happen. After a pause, she said, "You are right to say that," she changed the topic: "Now that you are returning to the court, I think your Majesty will have a headache about what reward you give."

Xiao Shao was originally in a high position and was never an exaggeration to say that he was walking sideways among the officials of the Dajin Dynasty. The so-called great achievements were beyond his power, but it was completely unnecessary to reach his current stage. Many years ago, the emperor could almost spare no effort to reward him. Apart from the position of the Nine Five Lords, now every time he made a merit, he has no shortage of gold, silver and treasures, and his official position has reached the first rank, so he really can't find anything.

Jiang Ruan suddenly thought of something and smiled slightly: "I thought about it all the time, it seems that I can only give you some beauties."

Xiao Shao didn't expect Jiang Ruan to suddenly mention this matter, looked at him and said lightly: "No need."

"Your Majesty is dedicated to supporting you," Jiang Ruan looked at the teacup in front of him: "You will return to the court, and the Queen Mother's decree will be fulfilled, but now the Jiang family is in decline, and marrying me will not bring you any benefits. Your Majesty is always thinking about you, so he is unwilling to do this. At that time, I heard that Your Majesty intends to betroth the Yao family's daughter to you. This time you have made such a contribution, and a marriage is more direct than any gold, silver and jewelry."

Jiang Ruan's words were not groundless. Since the news of the victory of the border came, when Jiang Ruan entered the palace, he heard Aunt Yang beside Empress Dowager Yide say that the emperor began to summon Governor Yao frequently. Jiang Ruan knew that Xiao Shao was responsible for these many secrets, just like her. She didn't understand why the emperor was very protective of Xiao Shao, but it was obvious that the emperor's heart was biased towards Xiao Shao. The emperor was very dissatisfied with her being the Princess Jinying. If it weren't for Xiao Shao's sake, he would have changed his candidates long ago. Now Xiao Shao has been in the court again after many years and has achieved such great achievements. How could the emperor miss this opportunity? Since ancient times, the emperor has always loved to arrange lives for others.

She spoke openly, and there seemed to be no bad mood at all. Xiao Shao looked at her quietly, not speaking. He looked very beautiful, perhaps because he had been in the border for some time, which aroused all the coldness in his bones. When he came back this time, he looked even colder, and his whole body was filled with a cold breath, but his eyebrows were picturesque and his face was extremely beautiful. He suddenly felt a little chuckled, and he felt a little cold and evil.

His voice could not hear the emotion, but just floated to Jiang Ruan's ears lightly: "So, what do you think?"

Jiang Ruan tightened her hand holding the stove. The young man opposite him was dressed in black and asked again indifferently: "Do you want me to accept others?"

In an instant, Jiang Ruan suddenly froze, and she clearly held the stove in her hand, and suddenly she felt like she was falling into an ice cellar. Because she had heard the same words in her previous life.

At that time, she was still as strong as the palace, and she had the idea of ​​self-destruction every day. At that time, the palace was rumored that the Prime Minister intended to marry her youngest daughter to the eighth prince Xuan Li as a concubine. She realized that her already dim life was even more dull when she heard the news. She actually got seriously ill. Xuan Li came to visit her. He leaned in her ear and said softly: "What do you think? Do you want me to accept others?"

Jiang Ruan thought in a daze, how did she answer at that time. She was confused and miserable, enduring the pain in her heart and said, "This is your highness's business, and I have no right to ask about it."

Then what did Xuan Li say? Xuan Li looked at her and said with a gentle tone. "In my life, the position of the concubine is for you. No one else can enter my eyes, let alone my heart. If you hear something, it is a show-off and can't do it. I only have you in my heart, don't you understand?"

Such sincere and affectionate words finally shattered her last little weakness in the deep palace. For his affection, she was willing to do a piece of chess piece for him step by step in the palace, but in the end she lost all the bones. Now that I heard this in my ears, time seemed to flow back, and it even brought him back to the day when Xuan Li whispered softly in his previous life. It was true that every word was bloody and tears, and it was pointed at the needle.

Xiao Shao saw her strangeness and was shocked. Xiao Shao had seen Jiang Ruan's various appearances, gentle and graceful, obedient and soft, bright and charming moves, cruel and ruthless, describing her embarrassing and gritting her teeth and being stubborn and independent, but rarely seen her at a loss. At this moment, she was sitting opposite him holding a stove, with her eyes dazed. I don't know what she thought of, her eyes were full of shrill and confusion, which made people feel nervous for no reason. Xiao Shao didn't have time to analyze why Jiang Ruan suddenly changed his emotions, so he immediately stood up and pulled her up. As soon as he pulled her hand, he realized that her whole body was trembling slightly. He paused and pulled Jiang Ruan into his arms.

"Sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't ask you this." He said a little annoyed: "I won't accept others. You are the only one of the heroines here."

When her body touched Xiao Shao's cold clothes, Jiang Ruan was confused for a moment. Her head was leaning against Xiao Shao's chest, Xiao Shao's bracelet wrapped around her shoulders, and gently landed on her back, carefully comforting her, her posture seemed to be a little coaxing a child.
