After Hai Chang left, the cuttlefish was half-lying on the edge of the couch in her usual clothes, thinking alone, the silk handkerchief in her hand had been kneaded by her, and she could see that her mood was not very stable at this time.

Ruyi's face on the side was not good, she thought about it again and again, and still felt that she should say her thoughts directly and give some ideas for her master.

Ruyi asked tentatively, "Master, do you have something on your mind?" ”

The cuttlefish lowered his eyes, sighed and shook his head, and did not answer Ruyi's question, but asked rhetorically, "Do you say that all the people in this palace are stunned?" How do you hear that the wind is the rain? There are too many people who like to talk nonsense when they have nothing to do, and it is really annoying. ”

The cuttlefish knew that this groundless rumor would soon spread throughout the harem, making her uneasy. It's obviously just a small promise of a person's words, but he wants to be forcibly said to be a favorite concubine, which will only increase the trouble and do no good.

Ruyi comforted, "Master, you can relax, although this rumor is terrifying, but it may not last too long, if everyone sees that the emperor does not like you very much, I think it will be a few days before this matter is put behind me, and I will not come to our Changchun Palace to disturb again." ”

The cuttlefish raised his head and looked at Ruyi's sincere eyes, "You're right, now I can only hope that time will pass quickly, so that this untrue rumor will be forgotten." ”

Ruyi's kind words are relieved, the cuttlefish heart is moved, these days of getting along makes her look at Ruyi with admiration, no matter what she does, Ruyi is doing her best, everywhere for her attention.

"However, the slave maid has a little doubt, and it is about the sea always being." Ruyi paused and said, "Today, Haichang is interested in befriending you, and also helping you to form good sisters, the slave maid just wants to ask, was your nod and promise at that time a perfunctory measure of expediency, or did you sincerely want to form an alliance with her?" ”

The cuttlefish recalled that he did nod his head as a response to Hai Chang's presence at that time, but he just nodded, and he didn't make a note and press his handprint, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

The cuttlefish understood Ruyi's concerns, and replied with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't really be in league with that Hai Changzai, the nod just now is just perfunctory to her, in order to maintain a superficial harmony with her." ”

Ruyi hurriedly took a breath, and finally let go of the stone in her heart, "Great, the slave maid was worried that you would be bewitched by Hai Changzai's rhetoric, and I really want to be sisters with her, but now the slave maid can rest assured." ”

Ruyi didn't say anything more, but the cuttlefish naturally understood what she meant, and the two of them had the same idea on this matter, that Hai's words were ugly and cunning, and he was good at seeing the wind and making the rudder, falling down with the wind like grass on the wall, and lacking wisdom, who would trust such an unreliable person. If it weren't for profit, how could Hai have come to visit today?

There are many people like Hai in the palace, and the cuttlefish secretly reminded himself that he must keep his eyes open and pay more attention, and he must not make friends carelessly and be used unknowingly.

Not long after, a few more Changzai and promised to come together, all with different gifts, they said that it was just the usual movement between the sisters, but in fact they wanted to win over the cuttlefish, it was really Sima Zhao's heart that everyone knew, but compared to the generous gift of Hai Chang, it was much better, at least a few of them acted in a low-key way so that others could not make mistakes.

Chunxiang was in charge of counting the gifts, she looked at a large number of good things in front of her, she was very happy, and couldn't help but smile and say, "Master, Sister Ruyi, look at it, there are a lot of treasures here, even mutton fat white jade mandarin duck bracelets and jade glazed phoenix hairpins, they are really generous." ”

Ruyi looked at Chunxiang's eyes open and felt funny, and laughed together, his teeth were like shellfish, his smile was like smoke, and his smile was extremely handsome and pretty. She did not forget to instruct, "Don't be happy, be sure to write down a detailed list of the items sent by each lady in case you can exchange gifts in the future." ”

Haruka replied briskly, "Yes, Sister Ruyi, I see." ”

Come and not be rude, etiquette is a rule that everyone understands, for cuttlefish, some gifts even if they are precious, she would rather not, so as not to have a human entanglement.

The cuttlefish has been sitting and socializing for a long time, and his back is sore, and his neck is also very stiff, so he has to get up and walk around the house a few times to relieve the pressure on his back, "These precious things are good, but they should not be used on weekdays, just keep them alive."

Chunxiang was slightly surprised, stopped what she was doing, and asked curiously, "Master, why can't you use it?" Look at how beautiful this hairpin is, and these few Shu brocades, can make a lot of clothes, you are so lovely, if you dress up better, you will be able to make the emperor more loved. ”

The cuttlefish sighed, looked at Chunxiang with reproachful eyes, and said word by word, "Chunxiang, have you ever heard the saying that the tree is big and the wind shakes the tree, and people are famous and famous?" ”

Haruka shook her head to indicate that she didn't know.

"You have to keep in mind that this is a saying that teaches people to behave in the world, that is, when a tree is big, it attracts the wind, and the wind can break the tree, and the big tree is broken in the wind, and the grass is not damaged, this is the truth." The cuttlefish's face was stern, no longer as gentle as before, and continued in a tone of lesson: "If I dress up every day and compare myself with other concubines and maidens, I am afraid that before the emperor favors me, someone else will get rid of me first and cause disaster for myself." ”

Survive in the palace, you can't just think about the favor of the saint, but also pay attention everywhere, although the cuttlefish doesn't have much experience in this area, but the dangers she has experienced before have taught her to be cautious, she is already smart and clever, and she can understand it at one point.

Gu Xiaochuan told the cuttlefish, don't behave too ostentatiously, and be eager to show off your natural beauty, this is a taboo in the harem, in addition, dress is also particular, it must be in line with the identity, if the status is low, you can't use expensive things.

Chunxiang lowered her head, her face was a little red, and she snorted, "The slave has been taught, and she will definitely pay attention to it in the future, and she will never ...... again If you talk nonsense, don't be angry, master. ”

The cuttlefish smiled, how could she really be angry with Chunxiang, Chunxiang is just a child, and it is normal not to understand these things, and there will be time in the future, and then slowly teach her.

Cuttlefish likes Ruyi and Chunxiang in the heart, and only hopes that the three of them can treat each other sincerely in the future, form a deep friendship, ignore the dignity of identity, and support each other in this palace, but nothing goes wrong......
