Chapter Forty-Six: In the Rui Wang's Mansion - Wife and Concubine Dispute

In King Rui's mansion, Ji Ran looked at the food in front of him with teary eyes, and didn't say anything for a long time. The maid Hongyu, who was standing on the side, patiently comforted: "Miss eat a little, it is her own to starve her body, and then I said that it will be the day to go back to my mother's house to visit, Miss is so consuming herself, how sad Mrs. should be when she sees it."

When Ji Ran heard Hongyu mention her mother-in-law, she couldn't help but twist the silk handkerchief in her hand tighter, and tears rolled down suddenly. Hongyu was also sad when she saw this, since she married into the Rui Wangfu, the young lady had never eaten a good meal in a day, and she was either sad or angry with all kinds of utensils in the room all day long. Seeing that all the objects in the room have been changed within a few days, the maids and mother-in-law of Ruiwang's Mansion are already boiling. How can you get the heart of the prince like this, but it is useless to persuade yourself a few times, my own lady's temper has always been like this, and I know it. While persuading the young lady, Hongyu also broke her heart, holding a handkerchief and constantly wiping her eyes and tears.

At this time, I heard a soft woman's voice coming, "What's the matter, isn't there anyone in the mansion who is still angry with my sister, there is really no royal law." Ji Ran and Hongyu's master and servant hurriedly wiped away their tears, and Ji Ran said in a dumb voice: "If my sister is here, sit down quickly."

The person who came here was Concubine Ruo, one of the several side concubines of King Rui, Ye Qiuruo, the sister of Ye Ming, the fourth rank of the dynasty. Ye Qiuruo has always had a gentle personality and a peaceful personality, but he also has a lot of thoughts, because although he is not as favored as Concubine Mei in this Rui Wang's mansion, he has a daughter, and he has a daughter who has lived a good life with his daughter and his own hard work for several years. She saw that Ji Ran was married for the first time, and she was a concubine, so she had to come and walk around more. Unexpectedly, this concubine was also like the previous concubines, and she was not fresh for three days, and she was taken away by Mei Xin'er.

Concubine Ruo still bowed slightly according to her identity, and then sat down to speak. I saw the food and drink on the table, and it didn't move, and I persuaded softly: "My sister has also seen it in the past few days, not only my sister, but even my sister and several other concubines in the mansion are also in this situation."

Although Ji Ran also heard some rumors, he was still suspicious: "I don't believe it, in terms of appearance, in terms of family background, where can I compare to such a ** woman, I was also married to me in love, how can I do this to me in just a few days, it must be that fox has something unsightly to seduce."

Concubine Ruo made a look, Hongyu hurriedly went to the door to check, closed the door again, and guarded outside. Concubine Ruo said: "My sister doesn't have to be so angry, with my careful understanding, the prince may not be 100% towards Concubine Mei."

Ji Ran was quite angry, and when she heard Concubine Ruo say this, she hurriedly asked in a deep voice, "What did my sister say this?"

Concubine Ruo said: "Concubine Mei was married by the prince regardless of the rules that day, and it has been more than three years since she entered the door and she has not come out, only these two points Concubine Mei can not defeat her sister one in ten thousand."

When Ji Ran heard this, he was silent for a long time, and he realized the truth, and he was no longer angry, and said happily: "Thank you sister for mentioning it, my sister has already understood."

Concubine Ruo nodded lightly and said with a smile: "After coming out for half a day, my sister should also go back, and come back to gossip with my sister another day."

Ji Ran got up to send him off, turned around and came back and ordered: "Take out the hairpin of Hetian jade that the prince rewarded me that day, and send it to Concubine Mei after dinner, saying that I saw his hard work in serving the prince for days, so I specially rewarded it."

Seeing that Ji Ran finally woke up, Hongyu smiled and said, "Miss, this is a smart way, but Miss must eat first, and I will send it to her later."

King Rui was secretly annoyed in the study, and his father had always assigned himself to handle all the major matters in the capital. Recently, however, hundreds of refugees from other places have poured into the city, and officials in the DPRK and China have asked for the opening of porridge sheds to appease the affected people. The father sent King Heng to do it for some reason, and he also tentatively asked the queen mother, but it was not the reason for her old man, which really made me wonder why. I was feeling bored in my heart, and the little guy came in and reported: "Mr. Lin asks to see the prince."

King Rui didn't want to see a guest, but Mr. Lin walked in by himself, knelt down and saluted, "Lin Han, a grass man, greets the prince."

King Rui was dissatisfied: "Get up, I don't know what Mr. Lin wants to see this king?"

This Lin Han was full of displeasure with King Rui, and bowed down and said: "The grass people have recently seen a few porridge sheds set up in the city, but they are not as good as in the past, and they are afraid that the prince will be bored, so they have come to relieve your boredom."

Seeing his expression, King Rui pondered a little in his heart, and said loudly: "I'm tired of Mr. Lao, I don't know if Mr. has any way to relieve boredom."

Lin Han said proudly: "If you want the prince to be happy, someone must be worried, I don't know if what I said is right?"

King Rui said lightly: "Sir's words are wrong, my people in the Great Zhou Dynasty live a prosperous life, and it is the wish of this king to have no worries about food and clothing, but if Mr. has a good prescription to make this king feel relieved for a few more days, it is not impossible."

Lin Han understood, smiled slightly at King Chaorui, bowed down and left. A sinister smile crossed the corner of Rui Wang's mouth, and he easily got up and walked out of the study. Seeing this, the little guy hurriedly went to the plum garden and ordered to arrange it in advance.

Concubine Mei got up late today, so it won't take long for Fang to freshen up at this time. Although the whole person is very thin, she is the most good at dressing up, red clothes and red dresses, a red necklace with Dongzhu between her neck, and a double phoenix wrapped in silk beads and golden hairpins in her hair, so that the whole person is exceptionally fresh and bright under the sun in this morning.

The maid came in and said, "Just now, the person in front of the prince came over and said that the prince is having lunch with us, and the slave has already ordered the small kitchen to add a few more dishes."

Concubine Mei pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this, turned around and looked at the mirror again, and said casually: "You look at the arrangement, don't use it to reply to me."

At this time, another maid came in and said, "The princess sent someone to deliver something."

Concubine Mei was happy in her heart, and when she heard this, her face turned pale, and she hesitated for a moment before saying, "Just bring it in." The little maid wanted to turn around and go out, but she hurriedly said, "Let people come in and talk."

Hongyu held an ebony carved gold jewelry box and followed the little maid into the inner room, bowed and saluted, "The slave has seen Concubine Mei."

Concubine Mei said softly, "Get up."

Hongyu presented the box in her hand and said: "My princess said that Concubine Mei has worked hard to serve the prince recently, and this Hetian hosta was rewarded by the prince the day before yesterday, and the young lady is not short of these, so I sent it to you, so you can take a few more glances while wearing the prince, and I like it even more."

Concubine Mei listened to Hongyu's words, and knew that she was laughing at her background, and she had never seen anything valuable, but she was not angry at this time, so she only sent it away early, and chuckled: "The princess has a heart, you went back and thanked her for me." Ruby bowed in her leave, turned and walked out.

Concubine Mei glared angrily at the box in front of her for a while, and she wanted to break it immediately, and she asked the maid to put it away after a while. But at this time, King Rui walked in from the outside curtain, saw the box on the table, but felt a little familiar, and asked, "What is this?"

Seeing this, Concubine Mei had no choice but to tell the story. King Rui couldn't help but praise: "She is a generous and virtuous person, you must take it well." This night, King Rui was busy with business, and he wanted to go back to his courtyard to rest, but he suddenly thought about what he saw during the day, and went straight to Ji Ran's courtyard to rest, which surprised Ji Ran and was very happy.

Ling'er has been working hard behind closed doors for two consecutive days, and Nuo'er only cares about all kinds of food and drink delivered on time, and the rest are not waiting indoors. But Qingxi got the benefit, with Nuo'er to talk and pour tea and water, it was a hundred times stronger than the maid in Ruiwangfu, and this girl was even more smooth and slippery than in the past.

King Heng was very busy every day, and the number of refugees in the city increased day by day. Even so, those dignitaries are complaining more and more. King Heng knew that if the snowstorm did not stop this winter, such a rescue method would only be a drop in the bucket and would not solve the fundamental problem. But there is really no better way for me to do it in front of me, so I am busy every day until I come back late at night, but I still think about it for a long time and can't sleep peacefully.

This night, Ling'er saw that the required design had already had a ** point, plus the medical hall heard that the people from Xunyin Building said that it was already open for business, although there were not many patients, in the end, it was his own career that had a new beginning, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy. I was so happy, I went to the kitchen in person, found some beef and mushrooms, and made a few bowls of dumplings to reward myself. In the past, when my mother had something happy at home, she would make dumplings for everyone to eat, and the family would sit together and be happy, but now I really miss it. But I don't have a home, so I still have a conscience to keep some, just wait for the man to come back at night and have a supper together. I was only busy with my own affairs for the past two days, but I didn't ask myself what the prince and husband were busy with, and I had to return at midnight every day.

Ling'er sorted out the paper on the desk and counted it carefully, there were more than a dozen figures, which was also the design she could think of at present. Give it to Wang Jiuye tomorrow, and let him have someone to fight it. Finally handed over, Ling'er was happy in her heart, and poured a cup of tea and tasted it, the tea of this Da Zhou is also excellent, there are no pesticides and fertilizers, and the taste is rich and mellow.

The people in this room were intoxicated by the fragrance of tea, and King Heng pushed the door in on time as usual. In fact, he doesn't have to go back and forth every day, and it's okay to stay outside, but he doesn't want to, and it is the greatest joy to see his little princess every day. No matter how tired you are, you must come back at this time, listen to her, even if you ask yourself to pour her a glass of water.

Ling'er saw King Heng come in, and said with a smile: "It seems that the prince is not easy to do, he is tired like this every day, you can wait for me for a while." Without waiting for King Heng to speak, he pushed the door and went out. Nuoer knew that Miss was planning tonight, and she didn't worry about making dumplings alone, so she waited in the kitchen. When he saw the young lady coming, he hurriedly cooked the dumplings. Seeing this, Ling'er boasted: "It's still Nuo'er who is good to me, but it's hard for you." Listening to the two kitchen handymen of the Rui Wangfu who were also in the kitchen, he had never seen the master who treated his subordinates like this, and he liked this princess even more in his heart.

Nuo'er knew the young lady's temper, so she just cooked it and handed it to her, not saying that she would send it over. Ling'er took the dumplings back to her yard alone, went indoors and stomped her feet and said, "It's really cold and dead on this day."

When King Heng saw her bring things in, he was also used to her not calling people very much, but he felt sorry for her and froze, so he couldn't help but whisper: "It's good to build you a small kitchen in this courtyard tomorrow."

When Ling'er heard this, she nodded again and again: "That's the best, I'll be much more convenient." As he spoke, he placed the bowl on the round table in the room and shouted, "Have some supper, but I made it for you."

Seeing this, King Heng felt warm in his heart, such a simple care, he hadn't really experienced it for many years, and looked at Ling'er who was busy working in front of him and stood in place for a while.

Ling'er looked back and said in amazement: "Isn't the prince not hungry at this time?"

King Heng hurriedly came over and sat down, and continued: "It's just that I haven't given the princess any benefits recently, and it's just a surprise to be able to eat such a delicacy."

Ling'er suddenly became angry, this kid was cheap and well-behaved today, and he was stunned with a palm, but after thinking about it, he still forgot about it.

King Heng peeked at Ling'er's anger, and secretly had a good time, but he didn't want to think that he was also close to Zhu Zhechi, and he was spoiled by his own princess from a humble gentleman.
