The holy decree was personally brought by Li Dezhao to announce it, and he led the people up and down the Chonghua Palace to the courtyard to bow and kneel, and Ruan Liuyan took the holy decree of Jinfeng. After the decree was announced, it was Li Dezhao's routine compliment, Ruan Liuyan responded one by one with a smile, and then invited him into the inner hall to have a cup of tea and then go back to pay his respects.

After being in the palace for so long, the first time I met a palace concubine who respectfully invited him into the palace to drink tea, Li Dezhao was not a little eunuch who had just entered the palace, and he resigned with a smile, and he said that he would go back to restore his life. Ruan Liuyan's original intention was not as simple as just inviting him to tea, but seeing him refuse, she already understood a thing or two in her heart.

After sending Li Dezhao away, Ruan Liuyan sat on the stone bench and watched everyone carry the rewarded things to the warehouse, and after several trips back and forth, all the things were finally moved. Dividing the reward due to each of them, she told the people to disperse, and then continued to sit alone on the stone bench. If you guess correctly, Chonghua Palace will usher in two "nobles" today, and before the "nobles" arrive, it is not bad to sit under the big tree and blow the wind.

"He Zhaorong has arrived—"

There was a sound outside the gate, and Ruan Liuyan's eyes in a daze finally had a trace of focus. Getting up and quickly tidying up her clothes, she led Mingyue towards the gate.

"Why is Sister He here? My sister is planning to visit you! Saying this, Ruan Liuyan greeted him with a smile.

Look at He Zhaorong again, she is wearing an apricot red floor-length silk dress, which makes her complexion even whiter; The wings of the butterfly hair ornament in the hair flutter as you walk, shining abnormally in the sunlight. Her pink lips opened slightly, and she smiled gently, "Isn't this empty?" Besides, today is a good day for Sister Yin, everyone knows it, and it's okay for my sister to come to congratulate her. ”

"Absolutely." Ruan Liuyan smiled indifferently, "Sister Zhaorong, please, it just so happened that the emperor rewarded the best Dongting Biluo Spring, so I will let Mingyue make two cups." ”

"Yo, that's just in time." He Zhaorong looked very happy, but he didn't know how sincere this smile was. Ruan Liuyan on the side laughed more happily, and the two entered the main hall together, and sat on the carved sandalwood red chair.

He Zhaorong first let his maid retreat, Ruan Liuyan saw that she had something to say, and then sent Mingyue out as well, and for a while, there were only two people left in the spacious hall looking at each other.

"I underestimated you." He Zhaorong said thoughtlessly, but Ruan Liuyan knew that she was referring to the demotion of Taihemen Xue Shuyi. Smiling gently, she said, "Thanks to my sister's prompt." Snow yarn soft smoke, plain snow filament fan, silk cicada glass snow soft pillow, snow, Xue. Every valuable thing that my sister appreciates is quite meaningfully pointed to one person, if my sister can't understand it, wouldn't it be in vain to waste Sister Zhaorong's hard work. ”

"Not bad." He Zhaorong looked at Ruan Liuyan approvingly, "It's true that I gave you a hint, but I know that without my hint, sister, you can also find out this 'culprit'." I came over today to tell my sister that she gave you a gift. ”

"What gift?" Ruan Liuyan was puzzled.

"Do you remember Xue Jieyu's palace maid Xiu'er? I asked her to come over, and I rewarded her to the former Xue Shuyi Palace, and now I have a good show. Hehe, Sister Wanyi, did you say that my sister gave you a big gift? He Zhaorong's smile was still gentle, but Ruan Liuyan felt cold all over his body inexplicably.

In Taihemen, she had deliberately said in front of Xue Jieyu that her people had betrayed her, and now that Xue Jieyu was demoted, she had planned to end this matter. I don't want He Zhaorong to do this quietly, how will a concubine treat that palace maid when she is downcast and sees her subordinates who have betrayed her?

Thinking of this, Ruan Liuyan's hand on the handle of the chair tightened, and his face turned slightly pale. He Zhaorong noticed her change, thinking that the desired effect had been achieved, so he softened his voice even more and said, "Sister Wanyi, you understand what my sister means." In the past two days, I have made many gestures of goodwill to you, but you have always ignored you, and I came today to get a good word with you! ”

He Zhaorong's words were really straight to the point, Ruan Liuyan knew in her heart that she had to give her an answer, but the words had been brewing in her stomach for a long time, but when they came to her lips, they became: "Sister Zhaorong, actually... Actually, I have no intention of competing for the Holy Grace, every Qiē is a mistake, I..."

"What?" He Zhaorong almost screamed, and when she heard Ruan Liuyan's words, she not only sneered, "I can't see that our sister Wanyi is still an 'innocent' girl who is clear and jade!" Don't want to compete for favor? Do you think you can stand alone without fighting? I sue you, the emperor's decree has come down today, and there are many people in the palace who want to tear you to pieces! If you want to live in peace, this grace must be fought for, or you will wait for death! ”

"That's all I have to say, think about it yourself! I'll go first, if you figure it out, you can send someone to me!" In the end, He Zhaorong's face was already extremely difficult to see, and after throwing off a sentence, she got up and was about to leave the hall.

"Sister He, stay here!" Ruan Liuyan hurriedly stopped in front of her, "I... I figured it out, sister, what you said makes sense, Mingzhu is willing to take my sister as the only one, and I hope that my sister will protect her in the future. ”

"Have you thought about it?" He Zhaorong turned cloudy and sunny, and he was only greedy for life and afraid of death for Ruan Liuyan's changes before and after. Immediately reached out and pulled Ruan Liuyan's hands around and came to the chair to sit down, she said: "Sister, don't blame my sister for saying ugly words, the words are not coarse, I am all for your good!" You've figured it out, and my sister feels very happy. ”

"What my sister said," Ruan Liuyan replied with a low brow, looking even more cowardly. He Zhaorong was very satisfied, and was about to say something more, when Mingyue's voice sounded outside the door of the main hall, "Qi Qi two mothers, the tea has been brewed." ”

"Come in." Ruan Liuyan raised his voice and replied, and personally got up and brought a cup, "Sister, please use tea." ”

"My sister has a heart." This time He Zhaorong was useful, squinted her eyes, and she reached out to take the hot tea.

got the desired result, He Zhaorong no longer had to deal with Ruan Liuyan this time, and put Biluochun, who had only taken a small sip, on the table, and she dropped a few words and Shi Shiran left.

Getting up to send He Zhaorong away, Ruan Liuyan glanced at Mingyue and signaled to return to the palace. After getting along with Ruan Liuyan for a while, now Mingyue can also see a little bit that she is in a bad mood at this time, from the exhaustion that Ruan Liuyan is experiencing, her intuition is that what she can do at this moment is not to speak.

Back in the bedroom, Ruan Liuyan leaned on the soft couch and closed her eyes to rest, Mingyue lit the incense in the purple gold and green leaf stove and retreated, leaving a room of silence and faint fragrance to accompany her. The vague aroma lingered around his body, and Ruan Liuyan was very conscious at this time.

Yesterday, I met the Queen Mother, in addition to Murong Lanrong, Concubine Rong, He Lingsu and He Zhaorong, who had been in contact earlier, I also saw two other famous concubines Xiao Mengyao and Qin Guifei Qin Shuying for the second time. If Concubine Rong is gloomy, then the rumored Concubine Xiao is definitely the opposite of her, she is flamboyant and beautiful, although Xue Jieyu a few days ago is quite similar to her, but it is just a fox and a fake tiger. As for Qin Shuying and Qin Guifei, the rumors in the palace that she does not eat fireworks in the world, neither steal the limelight, nor have it ever been rumored that she has been particularly friendly with any palace concubine.

Concubine Xiao glanced at the main hall. Ruan Liuyan still remembers that look vividly, before Concubine Rong came to get off the horse, Xue Jieyu was assassinated, I don't know why Concubine Xiao has not moved? If you want to say that Qin Guifei doesn't eat fireworks in the world, what is the reason why Concubine Xiao doesn't move, is she sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, or does she disdain to do it?

After thinking too much, it turned into a dull pain in the brain, and just after dealing with He Zhaorong, Ruan Liuyan felt even more exhausted. Rubbing the sides of her temples, she forced herself to cheer up, the second "nobleman" hadn't come yet, and she couldn't let go of herself first.

However, what made Ruan Liuyan a little confused was that from the afternoon to the evening, this "nobleman" was also delayed, which was somewhat inconsistent with his rumors. After a night of silence, the next day, after freshening up and dressing up, Ruan Liuyan came to the table that had already been prepared to eat. There is still a tough battle to be fought today, she has to fill her stomach first,

The one who should have come will come, albeit a little late.

Halfway through the breakfast hall, there was a sudden noise outside the door, accompanied by Qiurong Qiurong's panic and dissuasion, and the sound of footsteps that followed was getting closer and closer. The visitor finally stopped in front of the closed door, and through the paper-colored window grille, he could vaguely see the beautiful figure of the person who was surrounded by him.

It's just that before Ruan Liuyan counted to "three", with a loud "bang", the door of her entire bedroom was kicked open!

"Princess, you tell the slave to report..."

"Get out of the way!"

As the scolding came, a woman in a fiery red palace dress broke in. The visitor's hair was combed high in the shape of a ponytail, the long hair that fell down with the movement of Fang Cai was windless, and the waist of the strong suit showed her beautiful girlish figure, and a belt with a complicated pattern was wrapped around her waist.

If anyone in the palace dares to go on such a rampage, it is undoubtedly the sister of the current emperor Dongfang Ke: Princess Dongfang Rong of Jiahe. She and Dongfang Ke were born to the same mother, and they have been loved by thousands of people since they were young, and they are even different from ordinary women when they grow up. She doesn't like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but is quite interested in weapons and martial arts. It is rumored that Dongfang Ke once strongly opposed Dongfang Rong's dancing with guns, but he couldn't resist Dongfang Rong's insistence, and finally had to let her go.

Dongfang Rong broke through this time, because of his identity, everyone didn't dare to intercept too much, and Qiu Rong Qiuluo, who came in to dissuade him, was terrified, and had to look in the direction of Ruan Liuyan. Dongfang Rong's eyes swept around the room like a torch, and finally his eyes fell on Qiurong Qiuluo and the others, "You guys don't want to get out of here?" The entire palace here belongs to my royal brother, is there still a place for this princess to come? ”

"The princess is angry." Putting down the jade chopsticks and cleaning their hands, Ruan Liuyan ordered everyone to retreat, and then bowed slightly and said: "Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess, I didn't know that Her Royal Highness the Princess was coming, and the concubines were disappointed, and I hope the princess is not strange." ”

"Excuse me." Dongfang Rongshuang stepped in, and took a few steps to a wide chair in the room and sat down, "You are Yin Mingzhu, the daughter of this Yin Xiang?" The color is nothing more than that, and the imperial brother's vision has regressed. As a princess, these words are already out of her mouth. Fortunately, he had already ordered the others to retreat, and in addition to Dongfang Rong and her maid Liangyin, only Mingyue was waiting beside her.

The princess laughed. Ruan Liuyan replied lightly without changing his face, Ruan Liuyan opened the amethyst glass cup that had been buckled on the white jade porcelain plate on the table, "Presumably the princess hasn't had breakfast yet, I have developed a new dim sum here, which is made of rose petals and flour." The taste is crispy and delicious, the soft tendons are full of roses, and the mouth is full of fragrance after eating. ”
