I felt a little better in my heart: my brother's ascension was basically done today. Maybe in a few years, you can really see the crape myrtle flowers blooming in the Gu family's old house in Tongque Lane.

However, thinking of Shengyao, the person was depressed again.

After a while, my heart was still melancholy, and I couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Ouch, what's going on?" Ruan Liangdi, dressed in a purple half-arm, stood by the door, stepped on the threshold and didn't come in, only looked at me with a smile.

I smiled and got up and said, "Sister come in and sit." ”

Ruan Liangdi said with a smile: "As soon as I came back, I saw you staring at the trees in the yard in a daze, and when I finished using up the refreshments, you were still sitting there in a daze." ”

The black silk embroidered butterfly fan in her hand patted me lightly on the shoulder, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter? The prince is going to marry the concubine, and I feel uncomfortable?"

I looked up, looked at her and smiled, "Is my sister happy?"

Ruan Liangdi shook her fan, sat down on the chair, and said softly: "I, naturally, I will not be happy." But it's not unpleasant. The prince is a nostalgic person, and he has been very tolerant of me over the years. I can also see that since I have lived freely under his indulgence, I will be content with whatever situation I have in the future. ”

She looked at me carefully, and said in a clear tone: "When you and the prince are in love, you are a person who takes everything to heart, which is uncomfortable and inevitable." ”

I didn't want to talk about this anymore, so I casually changed the topic and asked with a smile, "Where did my sister go?"

"I've gone to see a play!" Ruan Liangdi laughed like a cat and a fox.

Seeing that I was puzzled and asked, Fang smiled and said: "Originally, I went to the Queen Mother's palace to ask for peace, but I never wanted to catch up with a big show." That Miss Wu Liu, our future crown princess, and the main housewife, is really a master of complaining!"

"Oh, I want to hear about it. I was about to say more about Ruan Liangdi, when I saw Lan Fu hurriedly coming in from the courtyard gate on the Yong Road outside the window.

After entering the house, after saluting Ruan Liangdi, he saluted me and said, "Someone from the Empress Dowager's palace said that the Empress Dowager wants to invite the Empress Dowager to come over and talk." Niangniang asked me to ask Zhaoxun if there were any snacks that had been presented before, and if so, I would take some and take them to the Empress Dowager's palace to pay respects. ”

I said gently, "Naturally, there are some, and the rest is packed in a deep bowl with well water." The name of this dim sum is 'bamboo dew dropping clear sound', go and ask Zhu'er to bring it to you to the queen mother. ”

Lan Fu should go down.

"Bamboo dew drops are clear?" Ruan Liangdi thought for a while and said with a smile: "This last sentence is 'lotus wind sends fragrance'." Yes, your dim sum must have something to do with lotus flowers. The name is so elegant, and the taste must be good. You are not allowed to hide your secrets, so take some out and let me taste them. ”

I smiled and said, "It's rare that my sister is interested, but I only made two servings today." I'll make up for my sister another day, okay?"

Ruan Liangdi suddenly raised a white and slender finger, nodded at me a few times, and said with a sudden realization on her face, "I know." Your snacks are ready, waiting for the queen and the queen mother. ”

She glanced outside and saw that there was no one in the courtyard, so she said, "You smart devil! I'm afraid that you will be caught off guard and suffer a loss, so I came here to inform you." Unexpectedly, you already had a plan and a response. ”

I couldn't help laughing and said, "What my sister said, Xiaoguan doesn't understand much." ”

"When I went to the palace of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother was in a good mood, so she left me to speak. I didn't expect Miss Wu to be there, saying that she came to the Queen Mother in the first half of the morning. has been talking and laughing, and has had lunch with him, very honest and filial, which makes the Queen Mother feel very happy. Ruan Liangdi shook her head slightly as she said this, "I didn't expect Miss Wu to kneel in front of the Queen Mother in front of the people in the hall, crying, 'Ask the Queen Mother to call the shots and save her life.'" ’”

I was slightly startled, and immediately understood Wu Shanghua's intentions, only looked at Ruan Liangdi and said: "Where do you start with this? She is the eyeball of General Huben, and she will soon be the crown princess of the dynasty, who can harm her? Who dares to harm her?"

Ruan Liangdi sneered and said, "Why don't you say that she is a master of complaining! The Queen Mother also asked her so, but Miss Wu said that she grew up in Kyoto, and since she was a child, she has heard or seen several cases of spoiled concubines killing wives. Then he said that the prince's strong promotion of the position of the side concubine in the mansion was biased and favored, and she knew that she was careless and foolish, and it was difficult to please the prince. Inevitably, if the future wife does not become a wife, and he will lose his life sadly, it is better to ask the Queen Mother to be exempted from marriage now. ”

I also sneered: "The Queen Mother will definitely not allow her to withdraw from the marriage." In this way, she clearly got the sword of Shang Fang that she would get along with in the future. If the prince is a little disrespectful, she will say that she has already said that she will not please the prince and does not want to marry into the royal family, because the royal family insists on marrying and misunderstands her; ”

"Yes, how can we stand such a big hat! I'm afraid that in a moment, we will be given death by the palace. ”

I asked, "What did the Queen Mother say later?"

"How else can I say it, it is naturally a stack of comfort. It is said that the concubine has a share, it is a matter of the national body, and the royal family will never give out a favorite concubine to kill the king of his wife!"

I had a chill in my heart: Wu Shanghua drove people to a dead end as soon as he made a move.

Listening to Ruan Liangdi's continuation: "The Queen Mother got off the phoenix seat and helped Miss Wu up with her own hands, saying that the matter of the position of the side concubine must satisfy her. Miss Wu sobbed and retired, shyly and happy. I was also very embarrassed there at the time, so I told the Queen Mother that I was a good woman, and I didn't dare to expect anything. Quickly retired and came back. ”

Ruan Liangdi paused, and suddenly smiled again: "However, I see that you seem to know something for a long time, otherwise why don't you do more and no less, just make snacks for the queen and the queen mother." ”

I laughed, "It's just a coincidence." To make that snack, you need to use the dew drops on the lotus leaves in the early morning, and I only collected so much this morning, which is only enough to make two servings. I will make up for my sister in a few days, so that you don't have to talk about me all the time. ”

Ruan Liangdi said: "You can be careful. Miss Wu's big drama, how do I think it's aimed at you. If even I had a share, I would definitely not cry and beg the Queen Mother in front of me. ”

I nodded and said, "Yes or no, Xiaoguan wants to thank my sister for her kindness." ”

Ruan Liangdi said with a smile: "Don't thank me, I've always been a loner." It's just that I can't see that she's too arrogant. Speaking of which, they are all daughters of the Kyoto official family, why is she honored like this. This hasn't canonized the crown princess yet, so it's okay to calculate us, but she has calculated the prince!"

I knew she meant to keep her distance from me on the surface, and that's fine.

If Wu Shanghua really thinks that we are not in harmony, it will be easier for the two of us to help each other.

Seeing that I was smiling and silent, Ruan Liangdi got up and said, "After talking for such a while, I am also tired, so I went back." ”

I got up and sent her out.
