Broken wings

Although he went back to live in the house, he would still go to the palace to

be on duty, so he had to get up very early, and he would enter the palace in the fog, and it would be hard enough to go back and forth. Yuan Zhen told him that he had worked hard for a year and let him rest, but he said that it didn't matter, he was a royal guard and should protect the safety of his father-in-law.

Whenever he was on duty, he opened the door early during the day to prevent him from freezing outside, and at night he went to bed late so that he would not go out early to stand guard.

Ruan Tang started to work under Fan Heel, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, but later because of his good performance and respect for his teacher, he was carried by Fan Heel twice, which was considered to have completed several major things, Fan Zhen asked him to sort out his achievements in these days, and took them to King Qian and asked him to give him a promotion. But Ruan Tang went to Yuwang's Mansion, but he didn't ask about Ouyang Qian's whereabouts, and the little guy couldn't say clearly, only saying that he was in the palace, so he had to go to find Gu Shi again, but found that Gu Shi was not at home at this time and was on duty in the palace. Fang Shi was eating, so he said to let him go to the palace first, find a place to sit first, and when he finished eating, he would go over and take him to Ouyang Qian, Ruan Tang had to go to the palace with the information in his hand to see which position was conspicuous, and he was waiting for him there. On the way, he happened to see a familiar face, Ruan Tang's face tightened, as if his heart had suddenly stopped, he ran forward in small steps, and shouted tentatively: "Ah Yan!"

Yu Yan stopped when she heard the voice, and looked back in a trance, but saw Ruan Tang, who had tears in her eyes, ran to her, looked at him for a long time, opened her mouth but didn't say a word.

Ruan Tang put aside the information in his hand for the time being, tears rolled in his eyes, and he raised his palm, wanting to go and hug her, but he felt that he was out of line, and endured it: "Ah Yan, it's me." "

"Ah Tang?" Yu Yan glanced at him in a daze, tears had already slipped down, "Am I dreaming?"

"Ah Yan, how did you come to the palace? Have you been in the palace all these years? Why didn't you tell me?"

Yu Yan pursed her lips, and all the grievances and thoughts accumulated in her heart couldn't be said for a while, so she just blindly bowed her head and fell on his shoulder and shed tears. Ruan Tang's hand stretched out twice before he whispered, "Offended." He put his hand on her back, soothed her twice, and then slowly and tightly hugged her in his arms.

The two went to a

clean and uninhabited place, and told all the circumstances of the two in the past few years, Yu Yan rubbed her crying red eyes, looked down and saw a stack of materials next to Ruan Tang, and raised a big smile: "Ah Tang is really an ambitious person, you said that you were going to Beijing to take the exam, at that time I thought you would definitely be able to settle down in the capital, and now you have done it." "

"It's still early, it's still ......early," Ruan Tang muttered, "We left in a hurry a few years ago, but I didn't expect to see each other again in the future, I was just busy rushing to take the exam and taking care of my mother, but I ......" looked at her guiltily, speechless, Yu Yan smiled slightly, "I understand you, at that time, you were forced by life, and no one can blame anyone." "

"Have you entered the palace since that separation from me?"

Yu Yan nodded: "I am also a woman from a small family, after all, I don't have any family background, and I can't help you anything, I think since you are determined to go to Beijing to catch the exam, you will definitely be able to get in, then I will enter the palace and enter the palace, maybe I can meet in the palace in the future, this is not enough." The crystal in Yu Yan's eyes revealed relief, and the time spent waiting for the past few years had not been in vain after all.

"Every time you saved enough money at that time, you asked someone to bring it out of the palace and give it to me, so that I could heal my mother, and I wanted to go to you, but when I asked them, they would not tell them where you were, and they just kept saying that you had brought the things. Once I really wanted to see you, so I secretly followed the man all the way, and found that he had entered the palace, and at that time I wondered if you had already entered the palace before me......

".

Yu Yan nodded: "It's true that I won't let them say it, I'm afraid that you will be worried when you enter the palace, you have to take care of your mother enough, I don't want you to be distracted any more, please forgive ......

."

"When we first met, I was just a poor scholar, but you were a gentle and kind woman, in order to wait for me to come out, you have spent so many years in the palace, I ......" A tear dripped from the corner of Ruan Tang's eyes, and Yu Yan's hand covered Ruan Tang's hand, "Ah Tang, after staying in the palace for a few years, I have become an old girl, one has no money and two colorless, if you don't want me, I really don't want anyone." "

Ruan Tang held her hand with his backhand, and found that it was much rougher than in previous years, thinking about how sad she had been in the palace in the past few years, maybe she would be troubled by others, Ruan Tang's heart ached, and he took her hand and rubbed it on the side of his face, holding her waist, and letting her lean on herself.

"Who said you were an old girl? My wild goose will always be the most beautiful in my mind. Yu Yan smiled and pillowed on his shoulder, Ruan Tang hugged her with his backhand, and the two of them put their heads to their heads, enjoying such a rare reunion.

At that time, Ruan Tang and Yu Yan did not

make a private lifelong agreement, but they both had a good impression of each other, but they did not pierce the layer of window paper, Yu Yan liked Ruan Tang's bookish spirit and touching filial piety, so even if the two did not have a marriage contract, they did not find anyone else to marry, so they waited until today's reunion.

"Ah Yan, have

you ever been bullied by others over the years you have been in the palace?" Ruan Tang gently rubbed Yu Yan's fingers, in fact, he knew that this sentence was asked in vain, a powerless woman, in this deep palace, how can she not be bullied? Ruan Tang is full of love and has nowhere to express, just want to marry her right now.

Yu Yan smiled slightly, as if the previous suffering was not worth mentioning at all, and used a relaxed tone as if talking about other people's affairs: "In the first two years, it was a little bitter, and the little lord and mother in the palace always made fun of us, and did not treat us slaves and maids as human beings, and always felt that we were just serving people, that is, we should suffer, and we should not have such a thing as dignity." The huge deep palace is actually really hard to endure...... But fortunately, there are nobles to help, and there have been a few times when I was bullied by the main lady in the palace, and it was he who helped me get out and settled a lot of messes. "

Hearing Yu Yan

say this, Ruan Tang felt a lot of emotion in his heart, he knew that Yu Yan was a good woman who was knowledgeable and reasonable, she should not suffer these grievances in vain, she was all for herself, and she must not live up to her sincerity, and she must be treated sincerely.

"Who is it? You told me that I must thank him and thank him for protecting my Ah Yan. "

"The one you should know is His Royal Highness King Qian in the past. "

"Huh?" Ruan Tang frowned, "Teacher, what is the former His Royal Highness King Qian?" Ruan Tang subconsciously thought of the coarse linen clothes on Ouyang Qian's body.

"Teacher?" Yu Yan was puzzled, Ruan Tang explained, "Ah Yan didn't know, I was able to enter the career is recommended by the teacher, that day he accompanied the emperor to serve the private patrol, to observe the people's feelings, the teacher happened to buy me a calligraphy and painting, and I casually said a few words, found that I have some literary talent, so he directly recommended me to the emperor, and kindly helped my mother to heal, gave me a mansion to live in, and had the grace of knowing me." "

"Ah......" Yu Yan couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of fate, "Then he can really be regarded as our red-line matchmaker, without his recommendation, I'm afraid we won't be able to meet again." "

Ruan Tang also felt a lot in his heart, he only knew that His Royal Highness King Qian cherished talents, had a good heart, and had a dignified character, not only introduced himself to the official career, but also gave him a place to live, and was grateful to him for appreciating himself. Now because he has helped his beloved, and there are many other feelings in his heart, his gratitude to him has only increased, and he only hopes that he can have a future and will do his best to assist him, so as to repay his kindness and the kindness of protecting Ah Yan.

"It's a pity that the fate is so bad, His Royal Highness King Qian, but now he has become a miscellaneous servant in the palace, what a waste of talent. Yu Yan shook his head and sighed, Ruan Tang frowned tightly, and asked, "Miscellaneous servants, when is it?"

"Just a while ago, the emperor did not make a noise about this matter, so that the news was blocked, and

few people in the palace knew about it, except for some ministers of the court, and the people near His Royal Highness knew that the emperor was in a bad mood recently, and those ministers did not have the courage to brush the emperor's scales and wantonly publicize this matter. "

"What is the reason?".

"It seems that because he embezzled the treasury without authorization, and the amount is not small, some people impeached him for trespassing, and he rebelled against it, and they played one after another, suggesting that the emperor execute King Qian. The emperor was forced by those ministers to have no choice, he was not willing to kill, but he was imprisoned in the palace, but I heard from Niangniang that the emperor let him enter the palace just to avoid the current limelight, and after a while, those ministers stopped, and he was put back. "

"...... like this," Ruan Tang thought thoughtfully, "The teacher doesn't look like a person who has not explained what he does, how dare he requisition the treasury without authorization?"

"No one knows about this, but His Highness doesn't look like a person who embezzles the treasury to do his own business, and he should also think about the country. "

"When I came back and asked, I felt a little ridiculous. "

"Well, I've always listened to those people with broken mouths, and I don't know if that's the case. "

"Good. Ruan Tang stroked Yu Yan's hair with one hand and said in a low voice, "When this matter is over, let's get married, and marry me immediately, okay?"

"Say what. Yu Yan slapped him shyly, Ruan Tang reached out and held her in his arms, Yu Yan felt that his mood was wrong, he stiffened a little, and was about to take it off, Ruan Tang said in her ear, "Let me hold for a while, hold for a while, I miss you so much...... I've missed you so much all these years......

".

Yu Yan heard his choking voice, buried her face in his shoulder and neck, and said sullenly: "Me too." "

Ouyang Qian happened to be passing by here, and saw that the backs of the two were so familiar, and thought that it was the palace maid and the little eunuch in the palace who did this ridiculous thing, so he quietly walked to the side and glanced at it, but saw that his two acquaintances were hugging each other warmly, and his jaw immediately dropped in surprise.

Ruan Tang found that someone next to him glanced back, and saw Ouyang Qian with a surprised face, hurriedly let go of Yu Yan, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, got up and said, "Teacher, Yunguan has lost his honor in front of his teacher." "

Yu Yan also saw Ouyang Qian when she turned around, stood up and shouted, "Your Highness." "

"Yunguan, Ah Yan, you two, do you know?".
