Quick Wear: When a Delicate Beauty Becomes Cannon Fodder

The Little Princess in the Palace (8)

  "So...are we going to live in the same house in the future?"

  Ruan Ruan thought about it and made herself blush.

  Rong Yan smiled and said, "That's how it should be."

  Ruan Ruan's ears turned even redder. Although she knew it was fake and nothing would happen, she couldn't help but have wild thoughts when the two of them lived together alone.

  Seeing that she seemed to be able to accept it, Rong Yan swallowed the words he was about to say.

  He still held Ruan Ruan's hand tightly, and hadn't thought much about it when he wrapped it around her in a hurry. Now that he had calmed down, the soft and tight touch disturbed his heart from time to time.

  But still can't bear to let go.

  ...

  "Have you heard? The Prime Minister is getting married!!"

  "You heard about it too?! It seems that the Prime Minister is going to marry an orphan this time. Oh my! I wonder how many rich girls will cry their eyes out after hearing this news!"

  "Isn't it? Normally, no one succeeded, so that's fine. But now the master has been taken down by an orphan girl. Doesn't it mean that I can't even beat such a person? I would be sick to death if I were her."

  "By the way, do you know who that person is?" A middle-aged woman was curious about her identity.

  After hearing this, everyone was confused.

  "I don't know. Apart from hearing that she is an orphan, there seems to be no other news."

  "I haven't heard of it either..."

  ...

  Everyone gathered together, talking in a buzzing voice, holding all sorts of things in their hands, the atmosphere was full of life.

  A thin man with messy hair came over from a distance and blended into the crowd skillfully.

  "You don't know?!" He attracted everyone's attention as soon as he opened his mouth.

  He lowered his head and spoke in a very low voice, but it was loud enough for people to hear clearly.

  "She is the adopted daughter of Grand Tutor Su who was sent to the palace a while ago."

  "Is this true? How did you know?!"

  "I have a relative who works in the Prime Minister's Mansion. He told me this in secret. You must not spread the word!"

  "So, isn't that your Majesty's woman? How come..."

  ...

  ...  

  Regent's Palace.

  The houses are arranged in rows, with carved beams and painted rafters, and are magnificent.

  There was a peculiarly shaped wind chime hanging on the corridor. The wind blew through the bells, but no sound was made.

  A man walked along a long winding corridor and came to the study.

  The study door opened wide and a male voice came out.

  "Enter."

  He bent down and reported, "Your Majesty, everything has been done."

  Qi Guanyu stood in front of the desk, added the final stroke to the painting, and then put the brush down.

  He picked up the drawing paper with both hands and admired it, then moved closer to blow dry the ink on it.

  "Well done!"

  "What's the matter with hiding the bride? I will be kind and help them spread the word. Don't you agree?"

  Qi Guanyu threw the portrait back on the table, not caring that the wind blew the drawing paper to the ground.

  The drawing paper was folded in half, revealing only a familiar face, which was Ruan Ruan.

  Qi Guanyu stepped on it, blurring out the ink. He didn't want him to answer, and immersed himself in his own world.

  "I have a feeling that there will be a big surprise on the wedding day! Please step aside. I need to think carefully about what gift to give."

  The man who had been bending over all the time answered yes and disappeared before his sight.

  On the other side, the prime minister and the emperor soon learned of the rumors and sent people to investigate immediately.

  The source was soon discovered: a skinny, dirty-looking man who spread the news.

  Because he was not worth questioning, he was quickly dealt with after being caught...

  They all knew that there was only one person who could do this, the Regent... Qi Guanyu.

  ——

  PS: I saw someone saying this on other channels, so I'll explain. Before writing, I learned that "whether the emperor's elder brother or younger brother, they all call themselves ministers and younger brothers when facing the emperor. Because the national law is above and the family law is below, and the emperor is the ruler of a country, the princes of the same generation as the emperor all call themselves ministers and younger brothers in front of the emperor, and the emperor can call them whatever he wants, such as emperor brother, younger brother, etc. In ancient times, the emperor's authority was supreme, so many titles, customs, and rules had to maintain the emperor's authority. The emperor's brothers call the emperor emperor brother, or the emperor."

  Therefore, it is okay for the regent to call himself the minister's younger brother and for the emperor to call him the emperor's elder brother. And I am writing a fictional story (*^ω^*)
  　The following is a brief explanation up to this chapter:
  　　Male protagonist: If you don't choose any of the four of me, then I will let you take the initiative to capture me, but I am afraid that you will be wronged, so I will separate one of you to protect you.

  　　Also, the Regent is not the male protagonist.
