Chapter 501: Leave a "Point"
With the permission of Concubine Ruan, she went to the Imperial Garden, followed by Mama Lin, who was temporarily assigned to her by Concubine Ruan. Mama Lin is an old man in the palace, she has followed Concubine Ruan since she first entered the palace, and until now, she is the person who knows the most about Concubine Ruan.
Although she doesn't look smiling, if Shui asks her, she will know everything she says, and from her, you can also see Concubine Ruan's attitude towards herself.
Some words are inconvenient to ask Concubine Ruan directly in person, and it is the same to ask the subordinates around Concubine Ruan.
The distance between Chengxiang Palace and the Imperial Garden is not close, and this road is also a relatively remote and less crowded road, so I haven't walked for a long time. However, Ruoshui also understands, because she is an outlier in this palace after all, and she can spread the news outside on weekdays when she is recuperating in the palace, but now she is wandering around the palace in broad daylight, which is too ostentatious.
"Mama Lin, I heard that you have been with the concubine for many years, I don't know what the concubine's temperament is on weekdays?"
"Miss Xiao is the apprentice of the concubine Niangniang, this should not be said by the slave maid~"
Ruoshui just planned to knock on the side, but he didn't expect to be blocked by Mama Lin's extremely direct words as soon as he opened his mouth. She is Concubine Ruan's apprentice, very few people know about this matter, since she entered the palace, she has never seen anyone take the initiative to mention it, and now Mama Lin's statement, although the tone is direct, but there is no lack of intimacy.
"How much else does Mama Lin know? Let's listen to it, the concubine sent you to follow me. It should be as simple as leading the way~"
Miss Xiao was really smart, and the concubine told the slave maid before leaving, saying that if the girl asked about her old man's family. Then he asked the slave to tell the girl something, and if she didn't ask, it would rot into her stomach and never mention it again. ”
"Oh? Why did the concubine explain like this? ”
First of all, I didn't pay attention to the content of the explanation, but I was curious about the multiple-choice question of Concubine Ruan. Ruoshui asked softly, in fact, she could guess some of the reason.
"This concubine didn't go into details. Just casually said, if you are smart, it is worth explaining. ”
Worth. The word is used a bit heavily. It doesn't feel like a simple multiple-choice question, it's more like it's asking and leaning on something. Ruoshui listened, frowned, and didn't continue to ask. But Mama Lin glanced at her. Didn't wait for her to ask. He took the initiative to speak.
"The girl may wonder why the concubine was so cold to you when she first entered the palace, but she behaved so favorably today."
This is to the point, to be honest, Ruoshui was still worried about this matter just now. Because from the day when Concubine Ruan rushed to recognize her, she felt that Concubine Ruan had a purpose for her, but she had been Concubine Ruan's apprentice for so long. Concubine Ruan never asked for anything, but helped her again and again. Today she asked Mama Lin. Originally, I just wanted to figure out what Concubine Ruan meant, but I didn't expect that without figuring it out, people would take the initiative to tell themselves.
"I want to hear about it."
Since people are willing to say that they don't want to hide it, anyway, since she recognized Concubine Ruan as her master, she has not taken advantage of it less, and she has basically not eaten it, and she has basically been sure that she is on someone's warship, and now I don't know how long it has been, it is definitely impossible to regret it, it is better to be sharp, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge.
"Niangniang said, this palace is not as strong as the outside, the struggle is extremely fierce in secret, and everything is not as calm as it seems. In this environment, it is naturally best to be low-key and not cause trouble, the emperor's childlike nature has not been removed, and he has a three-minute heat for everything, and the same is true for you, the heat will naturally pass when it cools down, so it is not very eye-catching. But if you even get involved, your goal is a bit bigger. ”
"Why...... Hmm~ I see......"
Ruoshui was about to ask, but suddenly closed his mouth as if he thought of something, and shook his head with a wry smile.
Mama Lin looked at her and probably knew what Niangniang was going to explain next, but she couldn't miss a word about what she should explain.
"Now the girl has provoked the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother in this palace is the master, the emperor has to listen to her most of the time, to be honest, and the Queen Mother has gone on the opposite side, I don't know how many people in this palace are waiting to see the girl's good show, if the Queen Mother does not stand up, I am afraid that the girl will soon be gnawed to the bones."
Is it that serious?
Ruoshui didn't believe it, but when she saw that Mama Lin's expressionless face was full of solemnity, she didn't throw out her question.
"In short, it doesn't hurt to be low-key and peaceful. As soon as the cooking is over, the mother will find a way to send the girl out of the palace, this palace, it's better not to come again. ”
Hearing this, Ruoshui was finally surprised.
Don't come back to the palace? If I remember correctly, she seems to be the apprentice of the concubine, and it must be a great honor for her apprentice to marry the emperor, even if she is already a high-ranking concubine, but she still has the queen mother on her head. Once the two of them are both dead, the people around the emperor can become the new masters of the harem, and it is not good to keep a person of their own faction in the palace?
Or...... She wouldn't still have the idea of making herself her son's concubine, would she?
Ruoshui began to mumble in her heart, but she could only mumble these thoughts in her heart. Now Luo Liang's life and death on the front line are still uncertain, and the dispute between their mother and son has not revealed anything to her until now, as for Lu Li, he has no chance to get along with him alone, and looking at his appearance, if Concubine Ruan doesn't want her to know, it is estimated that he will not tell her if he is killed.
“…… The words of the concubine Niangniang, Ruoshui wrote it down. ”
After struggling for a long time, the words that finally came out of his mouth were only this one sentence~ Since getting acquainted with those in power, Ruoshui has learned the most is to leave a point in everything he does and speaks. That point can't be explained, it can only be left to the other party to secretly speculate, which is a kind of jealousy and defense, but also a kind of respect. A long time ago, Ruoshui still felt very hypocritical about such a "point", but now, he finally realized the excitement of this "point".
"That's all the concubine Niangniang said, the girl should cherish herself, so ~ let's go ~ The imperial garden is in front."
As he spoke, he didn't expect to have walked so many roads, and on the cobblestone path, the purple and red imperial garden was indeed close in front of him. (To be continued.) )
