Chapter 39 Jade Bracelet
Ye Ruoyan's residence is a bit far from Anping Palace.

It took the group a long time to get there.

As Ye Jinshu walked on the road, he kept thinking that the prince really loved Ye Ruoyan. Every time he came to Anping Palace, he had to walk such a long way to see Ye Ruoyan. It turned out that true love would not be blocked by distance.

Ye Ruoyan's residence is very remote, deserted, a little small, and a little shabby, but it is very clean, and you can tell that the people who live here are working hard.

At this time, midsummer had passed and autumn colors were everywhere. The cool autumn breeze blew, bringing a hint of elegant medicinal fragrance from the house.

Yes, an elegant medicinal scent.

Ye Jinshu doesn't like the smell of medicine.

Most medicinal smells make her feel bitter, except for the smell coming from Ye Ruoyan's residence, which is pleasant, but can be identified as the smell of medicine.

Ye Ruoyan originally had two palace maids serving her, but one of them betrayed her when she saw that Ye Ruoyan was having a hard time in the palace.

He wanted to come and seek refuge with Ye Jinshu, but Ye Jinshu confiscated his property and did a good deed by selling him to someone in need.

However, selling her off was one thing, but Ye Jinshu did not tell anyone that there were not enough palace maids around Ye Ruoyan, so now there was only one maid left who could be used by Ye Ruoyan.

Ye Jinshu looked at the little palace maid who was peeking timidly at the shabby door and had a vague impression of her.

After thinking about it more carefully, Ye Jinshu realized that this was the girl who became Ye Ruoyan's confidant. She was capable and loyal enough, and it was very troublesome to deal with her.

It turns out that the annoying guy is so young now.

It has been almost half a year since Ye Jinshu was reborn, and she has just realized that she is not that old now.

It’s a pity that rebirth is like this. Every time you start over, you will feel a little uncomfortable. It’s not just about the memory, but more importantly, the change in lifestyle.

A person who is used to peace has to return to the palace to be jealous, a person who is used to having a group of sisters has to suddenly become an empty-nest old lady, and a person who has actually become a grandmother has to return to her teens and prepare to get married again. All of these require adaptation.

So, there are still problems with the story written by Ji Yanqing.

The heroine must have been a grandmother before she was reborn. Wouldn't it be awkward for a grandmother to come back and talk about love with someone as old as her son?

It would have been fine if Ye Jinshu hadn't thought about this, but once she started thinking about it, she wanted to call Ji Yanqing into the palace.

But today, in order to come and see Ye Ruoyan, she specifically told Ji Yanqing that he didn't need to enter the palace today when he left the palace yesterday.

At that time, Ji Yanqing was quite reluctant to leave. It seemed that he had really gotten used to the four treasures of the study in Anping Palace and had developed an attachment to them.

Ji Yanqing was not summoned to the palace today, so he'd better not be lazy.

I can only wait until tomorrow to discuss with him the issue of love and romance among grandmas.

Ye Jinshu and his group were very conspicuous. When Ye Ruoyan's only remaining maid saw Ye Jinshu and his group coming, she quickly retracted her head, probably to find Ye Ruoyan to report the news.

Ye Jinshu was supported by Xiao Cui to the door, and suddenly remembered something.

Every time she brought Xiao Cui to Ye Ruoyan's palace for the first time, Xiao Cui would start scolding Ye Ruoyan's courtyard before she did.

This time Xiao Cui looked very calm.

"Why is sister here?"

Ye Jinshu had just stepped into the yard when Ye Ruoyan came to meet him.

She looked a little hurried, as if she had rushed over from another place, but the scent of medicine emanating from her body was even stronger than that in the yard, and it seemed that she was making medicine.

More importantly, when Ye Ruoyan saluted him, the sleeve of her left hand inadvertently slid back, revealing the sparkling jade bracelet on her slender wrist.

Ye Jinshu recognized it at a glance. This jade bracelet was exactly the same as the one the prince gave her.

She still wears it now. Actually, she didn't want to wear it, but her hand hurt after the prince forced her to wear it that day.

The bracelet had a small opening, but the prince still forced her to wear it. She felt it was a waste to refuse it, so she insisted on taking it. As a result, her hand hurt so much that she didn't dare take it off for many days.

As I was dragging on, I even forgot that I had the bracelet on my hand.

Anyway, a roll of cuffs wouldn't affect her hoeing the fields.

After Ye Ruoyan was sure that Ye Jinshu had seen the jade bracelet on her hand, she hurriedly put down her sleeves, as if what had just happened was really just an accident: "Why did sister come here today?"

Although Ye Ruoyan asked this, she actually already knew the reason why Ye Jinshu came to find her.

Ever since the Queen's health improved thanks to Ye Ruoyan's sachets, the sachets made by Ye Ruoyan have become priceless, so it is not surprising that Ye Jinshu wants one.

But Ye Ruoyan could guess that Ye Jinshu's purpose was not because of these.

But the prince had already arrived before Ye Jinshu and the others came.

The prince told her that Ye Jinshu came here today to get the detoxifying sachet from her.

Ye Ruoyan's hurried look was not because she was making medicine, but because the prince asked her to come out to reject Ye Jinshu's request for the sachet.

Ye Ruoyan didn't know why the prince was planning to ask her to reject Ye Jinshu, but before she came out, the prince specifically asked her to wear the same white jade bracelet as Ye Jinshu's.

The prince said that he wanted to see her wearing the jade bracelet, but Ye Ruoyan knew that the prince had other intentions.

But she had no choice.

She has recently felt that the prince's attention is not on her. If she can no longer rely on the prince, she must quickly find the next person, otherwise her situation will become extremely unsafe.

This era is unlike the modern era she once lived in. It is not enough to have strength to succeed, but also requires identity and even gender.

The reason why Ye Ruoyan chose the prince was that it was safe enough around him.

No matter what incredible things she did, as long as she could share some of the credit with the prince, she would not become the target of public criticism and would not be in danger.

She is a concubine's daughter and she has no relatives. A capable person without backing will have a worse life than an incompetent person without backing.

She still remembered that when she first came to this world, she still had naive fantasies and told her personal maid that everyone was equal and that there was no need to perform formalities when they were alone.

She thought her sincerity could be rewarded with sincerity, but in the end the maid just treated her as a joke.

"Do you know what she said? She actually said that she and I are equal, and compared herself to the maid. Only a concubine who has no education can do such a thing."

"What? I won't remind her. I want to see what stupid things she can do next."

From that time on, she stopped speaking out for human rights.

Later, she saw someone fainted at the door, and she took action to stabilize the person's heart, but someone else claimed the credit for her work.

"She is a child, and a concubine's daughter, how could she know medicine? You must have remembered it wrongly."

She is a concubine's daughter.

There is so little that can be done.

Justice has nothing to do with her.
So, she needs a backer.

It doesn't matter who it is.
