Marrying a powerful eunuch three times

Chapter 238 Merlin

The two of them talked together as they walked towards the back mountain.

When they were almost at Merlin, Su Rutang saw Long Yu looking around as if he was looking at something.

"What are you looking at?"

"An old friend is here. You must be very happy, but you can't enter the capital." Long Yu said quietly, "It just so happened that I met her when I was out of the city. It was also unexpected."

"Shen Yunying?"

"I can't hide anything from you, and I said I had a surprise for you."

Qingdai and a few others followed them.

There are many independent wooden houses in the plum forest. When you open the windows, you can see plum blossoms.

Many students and dignitaries like to come here.

Even the mistresses and ladies of noble families would meet here to drink tea and chat.

Long Yu is a princess.

I asked for a bamboo house with a good view and a relatively quiet environment. What I liked most was that the side facing the Huguo Temple had windows made of glazed glass, which could be opened by sliding doors.

The windows are also much larger than normal, taking up almost an entire wall.

Extending out is a wide eaves.

There are several pots of camellia below.

Looking out the window, there are almost only red plum blossoms.

Through the red plum blossoms, you can also see the temple’s pagoda.

The bamboo house is divided into two rooms.

There is a changing room and a separate bathroom.

There is a guqin in the room outside.

A table for making tea.

There were a few chairs and a couch under the window with a small coffee table on it.

Elegance is everywhere.

"Sister Rutang, you haven't been here for a long time, right?"

Su Rutang took off his cloak and said, "I haven't been to Meilin for a long time. To be honest, I came here with my aunt. At that time, I came here with my sisters to have snacks. I remember that my favorite thing at that time was plum blossom cake."

"I went to Huguo Temple later, but didn't come here."

Only then did Long Yu remember that Su Rutang had lost his child in Huguo Temple.

She regretted choosing such a place.

If she had known that, she would have suggested that Shen Yunying go to another place. "I'm sorry, Sister Rutang."

"It's irrelevant. Why don't you ask someone to make some more plum blossom cakes and send them over? I want to take some back for Yaoyao and the others to eat."

"That's for sure."

Long Yu asked the maid to tell people to bring up more plum blossom cakes.

Here Chunxi started to boil water.

Seeing Chunxi fetching spring water, Long Yu hurriedly stopped Chunxi. "Don't use spring water. Here is snow water from plum trees that was collected a few years ago. It was buried under the plum tree, and a jar was dug out yesterday."

It's the best for us to make tea. I heard that Mu Shan likes to drink this kind of tea the most, so... I was thinking about drinking tea with Mu Shan in the future."

"Long Yu. Don't your parents have any requirements for your marriage?" Most of the marriages of royal children are arranged through marriage alliances.

Li Yun and a few others came over that day.

The reason Long Yu escaped the disaster was entirely due to her father.

"They hope that I can get married, but I don't want to." Long Yu's eyes dimmed.

Su Rutang knew that Mu Shan was not a government official after all.

"Sister Rutang, I want to try my best for my own happy life. What if I succeed?"

"What if it fails?"

"At least I have a clear conscience." Long Yu said heavily, as if trying to convince himself.

"What do you mean by having a clear conscience?" Shen Yunying was dressed as a woman, and her hair bun was more luxurious than before.

There was just a hint of fatigue between his brows.

Su Rutang saw that her eyes were a little red, as if she had just cried.

"Yun Ying."

"Rutang. I heard about your family."

The two held hands and sat together.

Long Yu sat opposite.

Chunxi came over and served tea, and then several maids went out.

Didn't leave either.

Just stay not too far away and be able to see what Su Rutang and the others need at any time.

"What made you come back?"

"Yes. Logically speaking, you were married to Nanli, and it's not easy to come back after you get married. It's only been a few months. I didn't have time to ask you why you came back last time."

Long Yu then realized it belatedly.

"I came back with my mother-in-law." Shen Yunying looked at Su Rutang, "Rutang. Mother wants to see you. It's also the anniversary of my grandfather's death these days."

"Your mother? Li Yun is here too?" Su Rutang was very surprised that the prince of Nanli country seemed to be able to go out at any time.

The current emperor also traveled freely to various countries when he was the crown prince.

"Yes. I didn't expect that we have such a relationship." Shen Yunying looked obviously flattering.

Long Yu didn't understand.

"You are playing charades."

"Long Yu, please step aside for a while. Rutang and I have something private to discuss. Is that okay?" Shen Yunying looked at Long Yu pleadingly.

Long Yu: “…”

"You guys are avoiding me?"

Su Rutang moved his eyes to the window, "Mushan."

"where is it?"

Su Rutang stood at the window, "Mushan."

"I saw Chunxi, and thought you must be here today." Mushan walked to the window and looked at Su Rutang with shining eyes.

"Rutang. Thank you for your hard work."

Su Rutang's nose was sore, "Where have you been?"

"I went to Xiliang and Mobei. I met Su Shaoqing, who should be a sergeant in the Mobei army now." Mu Shan said ashamedly: "I also want to join the army, but I am not qualified."

He laughed bitterly at himself:

"When I arrived in Mobei, I fell ill."

Mu Shan was handsome, but his face was abnormally pale, which was obviously because he had not recovered from his illness.

"Go to Baohe Hall to find Dr. Ke."

"I'll come to Meilin first and draw a few pictures for you." Mu Shan kept looking at Su Rutang with heartache, as if he didn't see anyone else.

"Okay. Did you paint the scenery of Mobei?"

"I did. I also drew my uncle and aunt. I think they should stay in the snow-capped mountains in Mobei."

"Thank you."

Mu Shan coughed lightly a few times.

Long Yu quickly volunteered, "Sister Rutang, I see that Master Mushan is still not in good condition, so why don't I take him to a wooden house? And then use the snow water from the plum blossoms to make tea to warm him up, how about that?"

"Thank you for your help. Please prepare some snacks. He likes sweets."

Long Yu smiled as brightly as the little sun.

He blinked at Su Rutang, "I know."

Without waiting for Mushan to refuse.

Su Rutang's face darkened. "Don't refuse."

"it is good."

Long Yu took Mu Shan away.

Shen Yunying wanted to hold Su Rutang's hand, but Su Rutang took a step away and didn't let her touch his hand.

"Have some tea. Don't reject Long Yu's kindness. Although this girl is from the royal family, she always opens her heart to us. If you want to see me, you shouldn't use Long Yu."

Shen Yunying picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"Rutang, I'm sorry."

Shen Yunying couldn't help but shed tears, "Li Yun doesn't love me at all. Maybe he likes me, but his love is never just for me.

I want to share him with many people. His heart is so big that it can hold the whole world.

Only when he talks about you will he come to my palace to sit for a while. In Nanli, only my mother is kind to me, but the way Yi Li, who is beside her, feels towards Li Yun makes me feel sick. "

Shen Yunying's face became much more ferocious as she spoke.

"I have too many enemies. They all want to snatch my men."

"Rutang, I'm different from you."

Shen Yunying cried softly in pain.

Su Rutang didn't know how to start. She should have thought of it when she met Li Yun. Not to mention the strange customs of Nanli Kingdom, even the princes of Da Zhou had three wives and four concubines plus many maids.

"Yun Ying, I told you at the beginning that he is not a good man."

"You are not me, you cannot understand my feelings. Do you know how much I love him?

I have never loved someone so much.

I love Li Yun with all my heart, and I am willing to die for him. As long as he can have me in his heart, just like my father loves your mother. "

Su Rutang's face changed drastically.

"My mother is dead."

"No. She is really your mother. She jumped into the river that day and was rescued by your father." Seeing that Su Rutang's face was becoming increasingly ugly, Shen Yunying did not dare to speak anymore.

"Rutang."

"Yun Ying, if you remember our friendship, you shouldn't come to me on their behalf." Su Rutang sighed, "Are they really here to pay respect to my grandfather?"

"Yes. It's really to pay tribute to my grandfather. Don't think too much about it."

Su Rutang didn't know whether Shen Yunying really didn't know, or whether she could now lie so calmly.
