Chapter 61: Go to the Party
Ruyi understood a little, nodded and responded to the errand just explained.
On this day, the cuttlefish fell asleep early, knowing that a violent storm was coming, and she should be mentally prepared to deal with it.
The next day, as soon as it was dawn, a shocking news spread in the palace.
The queen ordered that Su Changzai's grounding in Xianfu Palace be lifted, and she was acquitted!
This made everyone in the palace dumbfounded, thinking that Su Chang would be in trouble this time, and she couldn't avoid bad luck, but she never thought that she would have room to turn over, and even the queen came to help her.
Concubine Xi and Gu Changzai were even more unexpected, they missed this time, and it would not be so easy to frame them next time. When Yi Wei told Concubine SΓΉ Xi about this, she was first surprised, then slightly angry, and then quickly returned to normal, after all, the cuttlefish was just a small ant to her, and there was nothing to fear. What's more, she has never exposed her whereabouts, and she is not afraid that the cuttlefish will suspect her, at most she just wasted a good opportunity.
And Gu Changzai was not so calm, she knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and she was powerless to make any changes, so she could only scold angrily, scold the cuttlefish, scold the queen, and smash it in the Yiyuan Palace, but she couldn't relieve half of her anger.
",, sooner or later I'm going to make you disappear into this world,......"
β¦β¦
In the Xianfu Palace, the cuttlefish is leisurely drinking tea, and occasionally, her expression will reveal a trace of anxiety that cannot be concealed, obviously, she still has a heart.
Chunxiang couldn't see through the cuttlefish's thoughts, but when she was really as casual as she appeared, she couldn't help but ask, "Master, why are you not happy at all, now that you are innocent, you should do a good job, or go out more and get angry with the people who have bullied you recently." β
The cuttlefish didn't want to deal with these meaningless words, her willow eyebrows frowned slightly and she didn't say anything, but she sighed in her heart that Chunxiang was too immature to be of great use.
Seeing that the master didn't speak, Chunxiang continued to ask, "Why don't you even want to talk to the slave?" But feeling unwell? β
The cuttlefish replied lightly, "No, my health is very good, maybe it's too hot, I'm a little bored, you better go out, I want to stay alone for a while." β
It's early in the morning, how hot can it be? Haruka just wanted to say something more, but she wanted to say something again, she saw the cold eyes of the cuttlefish, and she didn't want to be bored, so she had to retreat according to the order.
About half an hour later, the cuttlefish was already impatient, and at this time, Ruyi finally returned to Xianfu Palace. Hearing Ruyi's usual steady footsteps, the cuttlefish hurriedly called her in.
The curtain was lifted, and Ruyi walked over a little tiredly, "Master, all the things you ordered the slaves and maids to do have been done, and every palace concubine has sent things except Gu Changzai." It's just that they didn't seem to be very happy one by one, and reluctantly accepted it, but they didn't say anything nice. β
The cuttlefish smiled and comforted, "It's good enough that they can accept the gift from me, which can be regarded as giving face." β
"The slave also knows this reason, but she is a little unwilling." Immediately afterwards, Ruyi's eyes lit up, and he seemed to think of something, "By the way, master, when the slave maid came out of Chuxiu Palace, I heard a few palace maids talking about some kind of gathering, it seems that Guo Guiren is the east, and I want to invite all the concubines to go to Zhongcui Palace for a small gathering." β
There are often such gatherings between concubines, and cuttlefish has rarely participated, but this time, she had to go uninvited.
The cuttlefish nodded, and the corners of his mouth pulled out an arc, "This is a good time, let's go and join in the fun, can you hear the specific time clearly?" β
"Those palace maids said that their master was going to rush over at the right time, presumably it was the right time, master, have you thought about it, this Guo Gui and Gu Changzai have a very good relationship, and the last thing she wants to see is you." Ruyi was a little worried and reminded softly.
How could the cuttlefish not know Guo Guiren's hostility towards her, this Guo and Gu are wearing the same pants, and they are not good things.
"Don't worry, I won't be impulsive again this time, even if she deliberately makes it difficult for me, I won't mess with her." The cuttlefish whispered.
The time soon arrived, the cuttlefish was wearing a light-colored moire cheongsam skirt, and the little two heads were wearing flower tassel hairpins and white jade peacock hairpins, which looked decent and unassuming, and the small and delicate red bead earrings were meticulously hanging on the plump earlobes, which made her look better.
After the cuttlefish was cleaned up, she went to Zhong Cui Palace accompanied by Ruyi, and along the way, a few playful smiles flashed on her face from time to time.
In the backyard of Zhongcui Palace, most of the invited palace concubines have already arrived, except for Gu Changzai, who is still angry in Yiyuan Palace.
In this party, the queen and Concubine Xi did not participate, and there were very few people who could let the two of them come to appreciate their faces, Guo Guiren naturally did not have such a big face, as for the other sisters, except for Concubine Qi, who was snubbed by the emperor all the year round, and cuttlefish, the rest were invited by her.
"Sister Guo, what is this, it's so sweet and delicious." Li Chang was holding the cup, and his mouth was still reminiscing about the drink he had just drunk, "It's a bit like honey water, but it's a little sweet and sour, and I can't taste what it's made of." β
This is Guo's proud work, hawthorn rock syrup, she has always been lazy and stupid, but she is very talented in developing drinks, which even the emperor has praised several times.
Guo Guiren glanced proudly, and just wanted to explain, but a slender figure suddenly appeared in her sight, and walked towards her dignifiedly.
A closer look reveals that her face has changed dramatically.
Li Changzai hadn't seen the cuttlefish yet, she couldn't bear it, and said hurriedly, "Sister Guo, Guo Guiren, what the hell are you doing, is it honey water, with sour plum added to it?" β
Seeing the cuttlefish, Guo Shi was already unhappy, and the anger in her heart was slowly rising, she replied impatiently, "There is no honey here, let alone sour plum!" If you don't know how to drink it, don't drink it. β
Li Chang was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and the word grievance quickly appeared on her face, she was just asking, as for losing her temper at her.
Guo Guiren had no intention of dealing with the Li family anymore, and said coldly to the approaching cuttlefish, "What are you doing here, don't I remember sending someone to invite you, uninvited?" Hmph, I don't know the rules. β
Hearing this, the cuttlefish did not fight back, she just smiled lightly, leaned over and said softly, "Guo Guiren is auspicious, sisters are auspicious, I heard that all the sisters are gathering in Zhongcui Palace, so I cheekily followed over, these few days of grounding can suffocate me, it is rare to have a chance to come out to breathe, and please don't be strange to Guo Guiren." β
