196: Pungent and bitter
"Tell Concubine An that the water nobles are asking to see you outside."
As soon as Xia Ruan stood firm, he heard the voice of a little palace maid outside.
Concubine An Guifei held the black ink-like chess pieces and played with them in the palm of her hand, as if she hadn't heard the voice of the little palace maid.
The little palace maid stood outside the door a little uneasily, trembling all over.
After a while, Concubine An said softly, "Let her in." ”
The little palace maid bowed down and trotted back, as if she was afraid of staying for a moment longer, and Concubine An changed her mind.
Recently, everyone in the palace knows that Concubine An and Shui Guiren are not in harmony, especially after Shui Guiren fell out of favor, his temper has become more and more weird, and he wants to step on everyone when he sees him.
Although the water nobleman is said to be the princess of Nixi Kingdom, no matter how powerful a woman is, if she wants to survive in the palace, then she must have the favor of the emperor.
But the water nobleman made a fatal mistake...... There are too many enemies.
If she was a little smarter, then Princess Qinghe's affairs could also be handled perfectly. It's just that the water nobles don't seem to take Princess Qinghe in their eyes, so when Princess Qinghe has a misunderstanding with her, she doesn't want to explain more. Although Princess Qinghe is a little clever, this time she thought that the most perfect plan was full of loopholes.
Princess Qinghe became a pawn under Concubine An.
Before Shui Guiren entered the house, Xia Ruan heard the crisp sound of a bell coming from outside the door, and when she raised her head, she saw a girl with her lower legs baring her legs walking in. She has a blooming peony embroidered on the right side of her face, but it doesn't look weird on her countenance. However, it makes her whole person look a little more bewitching. Her skin is better than snow, and her eyes are as blue as the sea, which is extremely dazzling.
It's just that Xia Ruan was slightly stunned, this person was not her second cousin Xia Qingya at all.
Could it be that she guessed wrong?
Will Cinnabar let her go so easily?
Xia Ruan was a little hesitant, Cinnabar's temperament should not be like this. He is a person who must repay his flaws, how could he discard Xia Qingya's chess piece so easily? Thinking of this, Xia Ruan couldn't help but look at the girl in front of her, feeling a little strange.
Du Ruo took a few steps back, getting closer to Xia Ruan.
Du Ruo's move. But it made Xia Ruan's doubts even greater.
She stood up. Saluted to the water nobles: "The folk girl has seen the water nobles, and the water nobles are blessed." ”
The water nobleman just smiled coldly at this time, and his bewitching face showed a bit of ridicule: "Yo? Who is this? Where did the wild girl come from, it really dirty the eyes of this palace. ”
Xia Ruan still maintained a saluting posture. And silently.
Concubine An raised her eyes: "I heard a few days ago that my sister was sick. High fever does not go away. Could it be that this high fever can also make my sister blind. Forgot the rules? ”
Shui Guiren gritted his teeth and looked at An Guifei, and saluted An Guifei very unhappily: "The concubine has seen An Guifei Niangniang." ”
"Ah Ruan, get up." An Guifei looked at Shui Guiren with a smile, but she was talking to Xia Ruan. "I forgot to tell you, this is the water nobleman of the Dawn Palace. Oh, no...... Look at the memory of the palace, the water nobles actually moved to Xianlezhai, and the palace actually forgot. However, it is good to live in Xianle Zhai, which is far away from the imperial garden and the emperor's residence, and it is very quiet. ”
An Guifei seemed to be comforting the water nobles, but after thinking about it carefully, every sentence was ridiculing the water nobles.
Xia Ruan didn't dare to stand beside Concubine An, and there was a slight distance between the two of them. But who knows, Concubine An actually stretched out her hand and pulled Xia Ruan over, and with a slight pull, Xia Ruan stood by her side. In this way, the water nobleman bowed and knelt on the ground, which was equivalent to kneeling in front of her.
Concubine An pretended not to know, and continued to pull Xia Ruan and said, "There is also a Taohua Zhai next to Xianle Zhai, and Concubine Xun used to live there. Now that Concubine Xun has long been a concubine, she naturally moved out of Taohuazhai. Concubine Xun used to always tell this palace that she liked to be quiet and liked to be quiet, but now she can't be quiet. The fourth prince also entered the palace a few days ago to see Concubine Xun......"
The water nobleman's brows furrowed when he heard this.
Concubine An Guifei didn't let her get up, so she had to kneel like this all the time.
Everyone knows that the fourth prince is a sick man, and he will die in a few years. After the four princes went west, Concubine Xun had no support, and of course she didn't have a few years to do. Concubine Xun seems to be beautiful, but in fact, she has lived the most bitter days over the years, and even the eunuchs and palace maids around Concubine Xun don't take her seriously. is such a poor turbid concubine, An Guifei actually compared the turbid concubine with her.
The water nobleman bit his lower lip and swallowed the evil breath.
She can't turn her face with Concubine An at this time.
At this time, Mama Zhu brought pastries and tea from outside, she looked at the embarrassed water nobleman, put down the things without changing her face, and slowly retreated.
"Look at the main palace, and forget about it." Concubine An Guifei held her chin with her hand, and on her ruddy face, a disgusted smile appeared, "Since the emperor left the palace, the memory of the palace has become worse and worse these days, and she actually forgot to let her sister get up." It's just that there are some things that this palace can forget, and some things that this palace can't forget in this life. Maybe it's because these things are too memorable for this palace, so this palace will remember it for a long time, don't you say, Sister Shui? ”
Shui Guiren stood up from the ground, and before he could gain a firm foothold, he heard Concubine An say this.
The water nobleman raised his head and saw Concubine An's sneer.
She was slightly stunned, and then understood what Concubine An was talking about.
In fact, the water nobles didn't understand why the four princes would send ink to the palace. Jiangmo's medical skills are very powerful, but if such a person stays by the side of the four princes, then the four princes will have one more person to help them seize the position in the future......
Jiang Mo can't help but be powerful in medical skills, and he is even more helpless in observing words and feelings.
She wanted to punish Jiangmo, but these days she just couldn't find Jiangmo's fault.
Jiangmo is not a simple person......
If his father is really a rural Tulangzhong, why would Jiang Mo actually solve the poison of the Western Regions? The poison she took from Cinnabar's hand this time was something that only the royal family of Nixi Kingdom could get.
Cinnabar. Cinnabar......
Does that person remember his real name?
Shui Guiren clenched his fists, with a faint smile on his face: "Sister said that I laughed, my sister really doesn't know how to answer these things." My sister has a bad memory.,I fell in the imperial garden a few days ago.,I should have remembered it well.。 But for some reason, I want to go and see it again today. But my sister thought, if I fell once, if my sister was more careful, then she wouldn't fall a second time. So, how about my sister accompany my sister to the Imperial Garden? ”
Concubine An Guifei looked at the look of the water noble. A little more mockery.
The water nobles are provoking. She could hear it.
The smile on Concubine An's face deepened, and she looked extremely cold: "This palace persuades my sister not to go, the queen likes to go for a walk in the imperial garden these days." If my sister went, she would fall to the ground in front of the queen's mother. That's bad manners. Although the queen mother is generous, she won't mind her sister like this. But the hearts of people in this palace are unpredictable. Some people just like to tell the emperor about these gossips. ”
When the water nobleman heard this, his face turned pale.
The queen is the Jiang family, and the status of the Jiang family has gradually deteriorated in the past few days. Especially after Li Changfeng took a leave of absence from the Jiang family. Empress Jiang is becoming less and less important in the emperor's heart.
When she first entered the palace, she would always say in front of the emperor that the queen was not.
Although the emperor hates the queen, he has been married for many years and has some considerations. But when the water nobles said this, it made the emperor and the queen feel a little more unhappy.
The water nobleman took advantage of the pregnancy in his belly, and he had to grab the peony flowers sent from the flower room with the queen.
At that time, the two quarreled in the imperial garden, and the queen finally asked people to start trying to fetch water nobles, but they didn't want to be met by the emperor. The queen was reprimanded by the emperor, and the peony flower was finally sent to the Dawn Palace of the water noble.
The queen is a person who holds grudges, and she has always been haunted by this matter.
At this time, if the water nobles dared to stand in front of the queen, then she would definitely be severely punished by the queen.
Shui Guiren knew very well in her heart that she had never had the opportunity to serve/sleep these days, and naturally she could not win back the favor of the saint. But if she doesn't deceive An Guifei out, then she will be in vain.
It's just that Queen Jiang ......
Thinking of this, the water nobleman's heart was a little confused.
What should I do?
"Sister, this is joking, the queen mother has always liked to eat fasting and chanting Buddha, how could she come out for a walk." Shui Guiren glanced at Xia Ruan and said thoughtfully, "Miss Xia is also the first time to enter the palace, and it is estimated that she has not seen what kind of fairyland the imperial garden is." Isn't my sister disgusted that Miss Xia is a countryman, so she disdains the scenery she sees? ”
What Shui Guiren said was aggressive, and An Guifei, who listened to it, couldn't help but laugh.
Smart.
Concubine An Guifei looked at the water nobleman and said softly: "What does my sister mean, can't you go out and walk after eating fasting and chanting Buddha?" ”
"It's not." Shui Guiren quickly vetoed, "Naturally, my sister didn't mean that. It's just that the weather is good today, so why don't you really go out for a walk? ”
Concubine An Guifei held Xia Ruan's hand: "It's okay, this palace will accompany my sister out for a walk." Ah Ruan, you also go out for a walk with the main palace, so that your sister won't fall for a while, and no one will be watching from the side......"
When Concubine An said, 'No one is watching', it was as if there was a good show that she was not watching from the side.
Xia Ruan glanced at Shui Guiren, then at An Guifei, and smiled: "Minnu, thank you An Guifei Niangniang." ”
The strength in Shui Guiren's hands almost broke his nails, but as long as Concubine An and Xia Ruan dared to go to the Imperial Garden today, then today next year would be their death day.
She told herself that the humiliation she had just suffered seemed to be a little less in her heart.
"Huh? What about Xiaoqing next to my sister? Why didn't you see this girl today? Concubine An Guifei stood up and smiled, "This palace also wants to tell Ah Ruan, this is really a coincidence, Xiaoqing, this girl and Ah Ruan are three points similar." ”
Hearing this, the face of the water nobleman became even more ugly. (To be continued......)
