Liu Tong walked for six days as soon as he left, and no news came back.

The people sent by Chang Runzhi to the small village written in King Rui's letter did not hear back.

Chang Runzhi is still as usual on the surface, but he is already crazy in his heart.

Did Rui Wang have an accident? Will it be dangerous for Liu Tong to go to Yanzhou? How could those who were sent out not hear back?

Chang Runzhi thought about it repeatedly, but after all, he couldn't think of a reason.

She was even a little afraid to face Chang Muzhi.

After all, she still has the letter that King Rui asked Liangpeng to write to hide from her.

Several times, Chang Runzhi wanted to hand over this letter directly to Chang Muzhi.

But seeing that the situation is getting more and more complicated now, she is afraid that this is actually the intentional arrangement and plan of King Rui, if it is because of her own carelessness and ruins King Rui's plan, then she really has no shame to face Liu Tong.

Chang Runzhi thought about it for a few days, but he still held steady and didn't hand the letter to Chang Muzhi.

At this time, there was a happy event in the palace.

In the days before his birthday, Emperor Yuanwu made the concubine a virtuous concubine.

The changes in the harem often reflect the previous dynasty.

Emperor Yuanwu's harem has a large number of people, but after all, the number of concubines is constant, and there are only a few positions, and not everyone can be called a certain concubine.

Among the five princes, only the biological mothers of King Rui and King Cen are not concubines. This is also due to the fact that their biological mothers are from a lower background.

And the other three, King Qi's biological mother Concubine De, King Li's biological mother Concubine Shu, and Zhu Wang's biological mother Concubine Jing, have occupied two positions among the four concubines.

There are four concubines of virtue and virtuousness, and there is a childless concubine standing at the forefront.

There is only one vacancy left for the position of a virtuous concubine.

The former concubine has passed away, and the position of the concubine has been vacant for a few years, and Emperor Yuanwu has not been crowned a concubine again.

Originally, Concubine Jing had the best chance to take another step up, but she didn't expect that Emperor Yuanwu would make Concubine Xian a virtuous concubine.

The concubine was promoted to the position of concubine, and it stands to reason that Chang Muzhi and Chang Runzhi should enter the palace to congratulate.

Chang Runzhi found the Ruiwang Mansion and asked Chang Muzhi: "Do you want to enter the palace today...... Congratulations to the virtuous concubine? ”

Chang Muzhi's face did not have much joy, but on the contrary, he was very worried.

She took Chang Runzhi's hand and hesitated: "Runzhi, my heart is up and down." ”

Chang Runzhi paused.

First, he gave one more New Year's dish in the evening Chinese New Year's Eve, and then even the position of King Shengrui's biological mother was two levels, and he was on an equal footing with the concubines of King Qi and King Li...... If King Rui was good in front of her, it would be fine, but King Rui's whereabouts are still unknown, such an unprecedented reward makes Chang Muzhi feel worried, and it is also human nature.

"What is Big Sister worried about?" Chang Runzhi smiled and said to Chang Muzhi: "Isn't it a good thing that Concubine Xian Niangniang can get the title of concubine?" ”

"But ......" Chang Muzhi locked his eyebrows and said: "The prince hasn't heard from him yet, and the emperor is so rewarded, I always think this will be a kind of compensation?" ”

Chang Muzhi asked so clearly, Chang Runzhi was not easy to answer.

The two sisters were silent for a while, and after a while, Chang Muzhi let out a sigh and said, "Forget it, no matter what the reason is...... I don't know until the prince comes back. ”

Chang Runzhi also changed the topic: "Then do you want to enter the palace today?" ”

"No, you don't." Chang Muzhi shook his head: "The concubine asked people to come out of the palace to deliver a message before, saying that there was no need to go into the palace to congratulate or anything. After all, tomorrow is the birthday of the saint, so it's better not to attract attention. ”

Chang Runzhi nodded and said, "Niangniang's concerns are reasonable, it's better to keep a low profile in everything." ”

Chang Runzhi said goodbye to Chang Muzhi and returned home, and beckoned Quan Avenue: "The ancient jade carving will be sent to the palace tomorrow, after all, it is a heavy object, not lighter than the calligraphy and painting of previous years." You watch it for yourself, let it be cleaned up, but don't bump into it. ”

Quan hurriedly responded: "Your Highness, rest assured, there will be no mistakes." ”

"I'm still relieved to be in charge." Chang Runzhi nodded, and said: "The person who carries the ancient jade carving to the gate of the palace tomorrow will also have to consider it carefully, and the careless one can't ask for it." ”

"Yes." With a big head, Chang Runzhi didn't have anything to do, so he let him go down.

After the others left, Chang Runzhi sighed.

This year has really made her very depressed.

Not to mention a lot of things, the person who should be with her the most is not there yet.

Shaking his head, Chang Runzhi thought for a while, and instructed Yao Huangdao: "You prepare two big red envelopes, and wrap them for the two people in the idle courtyard." ”

Yao Huang paused and asked, "Girl, how much is appropriate?" ”

"Fifty taels, out of my dowry."

Yao Huang nodded in response, Wei Zi on the side was a little unhappy, and said, "They have not been treated harshly with food and clothing, why should the girl show favor to them?" ”

Chang Runzhi shook his head with a helpless smile and said, "After all, I am a princess, do I need to show favor to them?" ”

"Why did the girl let Sister Yao Huang wrap such a big red envelope for them?" Wei Zi muttered.

Chang Runzhi: "You, your heart is so small. They are all women, they are not supposed to trouble me, and it is nothing to give them some reward. It's okay that Rounan is timid, but Wang Baoqin is a smart person, and he must understand my intention of giving another big red envelope. ”

Yao Huang said softly: "The girl wants to tell them that they live in peace and security like this, and they will definitely be able to live peacefully in the mansion in the future, right?" It is also to reassure their hearts. ”

Chang Runzhi nodded, paused and said: "Although Ah Tong told me that he would not accept concubines, he is a prince, and it is not easy to say what will happen in the future." With these two people here, it can be regarded as a shield to block things, and it also saves people from saying that I am jealous. ”

"What about jealousy?" Wei Zi snorted: "The Nine Emperors love our girls, and those noble ladies whose own men like to mess with flowers and grass can only chew the root of their tongues behind their backs, in the end, aren't they still envious and jealous of our girls?" ”

"Why doesn't a word sound like it tastes like something in your mouth?"

Chang Runzhi smiled, stretched out his hand and nodded Wei Zi's forehead, and said, "Okay, Yao Huang will handle this matter, you knife-mouthed, stay and go." ”

Wei Zi pretended to be indignant: "The girl is so good to both of them, but this Chinese New Year, I haven't seen any big red envelopes sent to the slave maid and Sister Yao Huang!" ”

"Do you really want a big red envelope?" Chang Runzhi laughed at her: "The dowry when you get married......"

"The girl is joking with the slave again!" Wei Zi stomped his feet, his ears flushed, and he snorted and turned around and went out.

Yao Huang smiled: "The girl seems to like teasing Wei Zi very much lately. ”

"She's cute." Chang Runzhi smiled: "If you are like her, I will tease you too?" ”

Yao Huang said helplessly: "Girl, don't tease the slave maid......"

"She has a fast temperament, and she has a quick mouth, and she feels relaxed when she talks to her." Chang Runzhi sighed: "I can only have fun for myself." ”

Yao Huang also sighed secretly.

If the Nine Emperor Princes are in the house, they should accompany the girl all day long during the New Year, right?

Now that the Nine Emperors are not in the mansion, the girl has no one to talk to, and she can only find Wei Zi's happiness. (To be continued.) )
