Chapter 39: Watching the Show
The next day, there was news in the palace that the beautiful woman was promoted to a nobleman, which can be said to have made the harem concubines red-eyed.
"Little master, every time you come to find Liu Guiren, you are turned away, why bother."
"Liu Gui and I are like sisters, it's right to see, and the Mercy Xiang Hall and the Yuyue Hall are not too far apart."
"But Noble Liu has never treated you as a good sister! Yesterday, she lured the emperor away, but fortunately, the emperor had a little master in his heart, and it didn't take long for him to come out of the Yuyue Palace. Little Lord, it's time for you to wake up. Now that you are a nobleman and the word "charming" is added, it should be Liu Guiren who came to visit you. ”
"Biqing, you seem to have a lot of prejudice against Liu Guiren."
Mei Guiren selected a plum blossom hairpin in the jewelry box, and the maidservant who specialized in dressing up took the hairpin and brought it to her. Bi Qing, who was called, stood aside with her head bowed, her eyes flashing.
"Liu Guiren is the most unfavored concubine in the harem, and he offended the concubine and the queen. With all due respect, the little master should not have too much contact with such a person. ”
"That makes sense. This little master has been worrying about which lady to visit recently. It seems that it is good to choose Concubine Yan, although she is not as powerful as Concubine Shu, but she is also a concubine with a stable position in the harem. ”
"Little Lord, have you forgotten Concubine Lan...... When she had a miscarriage, you were so close to Liu Guiren. If you take refuge in Concubine Yan, I'm afraid that there will be no good fruits to eat in the future. ”
"Oh? Could it be that you are asking me to visit Concubine Shu? ”
"Little master, you don't have to be Concubine Shu, Concubine Yan, and ...... The Queen's Mother. ”
Mei Guiren suddenly smiled, his smile was like a flower, but his eyes were full of coldness. She waved her hand to the palace maid behind her to signal to leave.
"Biqing, it seems that you don't know enough about this little master."
"It's the slave who lost his words, and I ask the little master to punish him."
"How can this little master be willing to punish you, you are my most powerful confidant. Get up and accompany me to Liu Guiren's shop. ”
"Thank you, little master."
……
In Yuyue Palace, Liu Ruyue had just changed into a light blue dress with the help of Lu Yin, and a plain white shawl was draped over her shoulders. With light makeup, there is also a dark red coral hairpin in the hair, which looks extremely fresh.
"Little master, the noble person outside the door asks to see you."
Liu Ruyue smiled after hearing this, and responded softly to the palace maid who came to report.
"You take her to the main hall, don't snub the nobleman."
"Yes, little lord."
"Hee-hee, little lord. This charming noble person really has perseverance, he always comes to visit every few days, and he still persists in coming over after many closed doors. ”
"Shouldn't you have been moved by the perseverance of Mei Guiren and began to change your opinion of her."
"Not really! Little master, why do you want to see her today, isn't it that you want to use this as an excuse to push the invitation of the noble people. ”
"No, the flattering nobles came just in time, and it was fun when there were many people watching the play."
The beautiful nobles who came to visit were arranged to wait in the main hall, and the flower tea of the Yuyue Hall had a unique flavor. Mei Guiren sighed while tasting it, and the fatigue accumulated a few days ago was gradually soothed and disappeared.
"I haven't seen her for a while, but the beauty is still the same. I wanted Midori to send you some gifts to congratulate you on your elevation. ”
"I haven't seen my sister for a few days, and my sister is getting more and more beautiful."
"It just so happened that the noble lady came today, I received an invitation from the noble lady yesterday and was just about to go out. If the nobles are idle, it's good to be together. ”
Mei Guiren put down the teacup and nodded lightly after thinking about it.
So, Liu Ruyue and Mei Guiren traveled together and came to the pavilion in the Spring Garden.
It's late autumn now, and the breeze is cool. In the pavilion, Fang Guigui and the other two concubines had already gathered to chat.
"Liu Guiren, why did you come so late. This is ...... The newly promoted nobleman? ”
"Fang nobles have a good memory."
"Snort, there have long been rumors in the palace that Liu Guiren and Mei Guiren are like sisters, and they really have a deep relationship when they see each other today."
"Liu Guiren, let's introduce it first. This is Xue Guiren, this is Lan Guiren. ”
Liu Ruyue turned to look at Xue Guiren who was talking, thinking that he was also unfavored, and he had never seen it in his impression. Fang Guiren is the initiator of this gathering, and she is restrained by Lan Guiren everywhere before she is favored. And today's Lan nobles are also among them, which is a little subtle.
"Lan Guiren doesn't look good, but he has a cold."
There are rules in the palace, and if you catch a cold, you will be removed from the brand. Lan Guiren pursed his lips with a silk silk, and smiled at Liu Ruyue with lack of energy: "Xu is blowing some cool breeze here, and it is not in the way." ”
"Everyone come to try this jujube cake, this is a special pastry made by me with medicinal food in the dining room, and long-term consumption has great benefits for the body. Anyway, we are all sisters from the new draft, and no matter what difficulties we encounter in the future, we must work together to overcome them. ”
Fang Guiren casually distributed a plate of jujube cakes to the concubines present, and she first tried a piece by example. Xue Guiren didn't hesitate to pick it up and eat it directly, Liu Ruyue and Mei Guiren glanced at each other, and they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Fang Guiren's gourd.
The rest of the conversation is all about nonsensical topics. Except for the occasional hint of hostility towards the Mei nobles, Liu Ruyue was already a little tired of wanting to go back to the Yuyue Palace.
Just as it was about to end, Lan Guiren suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
"Ah......h
The personal palace maid beside her screamed loudly, and Fang Guiren suddenly shouted coldly: "What's it called, don't you go and inform the queen soon." ”
"Good party, I didn't expect such a thing to happen to Lan Guiren. Really, if you don't feel well, just say it, and now it's only adding to the trouble. ”
"Alas...... Who says no. Fang Guiren sighed faintly: "I had a conflict with Lan Guiren before, and now that such a thing has happened, and it is a party that I initiated, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the blame." At that time, I will ask my sisters to explain a thing or two for me. ”
Liu Ruyue looked at the Lan nobleman who fell to the ground and didn't wake up, thoughtfully. Fang Guiren is not as timid and cowardly as the news that Green Yin has probed back has said......
"Green Yin, you will help the Lan nobleman up. Fang Guiren, please rest assured, there is me and Mei Guiren to testify, Lan Guiren's affairs are not to blame you. ”
Fang Guiren was a little displeased when he saw that Liu Ruyue actually ordered the palace maid to help Lan Guiren who fell to the ground, but after listening to the second half of the sentence, he was slightly more comfortable to say a few pleasant greetings.
When the queen heard that something had happened to Lan Guiren, she quickly sent a doctor to investigate. Liu Ruyue, Mei Guiren, Xue Guiren and others testified, and the suspicion of Fang Guiren was also cleared. When Lan Guiren woke up, he found that he was blind and smashed things madly. Within a few days, news came that Lan Guiren couldn't bear the blow of blindness and chose to commit suicide.
This matter reached the ears of the emperor and the queen mother, but it was just a trivial matter. An unfavored low-ranking concubine died, and when she died, she died, and she was not even eligible to be buried in the royal cemetery.
