With that, he took the incense and prepared to get up and leave.

Before leaving, he glanced at Ru Xuan, seemed to think of something, and said with a smile: "This palace lives in Shuiyue Pavilion, if you have free time, you can go to Shuiyue Pavilion to talk to this palace." ”

Obviously stunned by Princess Baoshou's sudden invitation, Ru Xuan's body stiffened, and replied: "Thank you for the princess's kind invitation, the slave will definitely come to the door another day." ”

Princess Baoshou smiled softly, supported her arm by Ning Xiang, and walked away.

"Congratulations to the princess." Ru Xuan saluted respectfully again against the background of Princess Baoshou's departure.

"Princess, Shang Meiren was treated coldly by the emperor at this time because she offended Chang Zhaoyi, is it not appropriate for you to go to Chunhui Hall at this time?"

From afar, Ru Xuan heard Ning Xiang solemnly remind Princess Baoshou.

Yes, a princess who is about to be used as a marriage tool and become a victim of politics is to try to please the emperor as much as possible, in order to pray that the emperor can give more grace and rewards, so as to ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

At this time, it is indeed not a wise decision to visit a concubine who is gradually falling out of favor.

Princess Baoshou didn't seem to respond, and I don't know if it was too far away, Ru Xuan didn't hear clearly.

But since Princess Baoshou said that she would let Ru Xuan bring a message to Shang Meiren, she would naturally bring it, and as for how she planned or what kind of purpose she held, it was not within the scope of Ru Xuan's consideration.

As a palace maid, a subordinate, and an entourage, she should have her own self-knowledge and awareness.

After such a small episode, it has been a lot of delay, Ru Xuan remembered the important things to be done today, and added a little strength under her feet, and the wind was blowing under her feet, and she went in a hurry in the direction of Huiming Lake.

After a month, Huiming Lake is still the same as before.

The wind is cold, and there is no one to live.

In the summer, the lush trees and flowers have also withered at this time, leaving the shriveled dead branches to stand alone in the cold wind, and the craggy strange stones still stick to their positions, reflecting each other with the dry branches of the dead trees, making Huiming Lake more and more desolate and lonely.

The once green lotus leaves and pampas on the lake are also withered and yellow at this time, and a few scattered dead leaves are still stubbornly floating on the surface of the lake, crumbling with the cold wind.

The small canopy boat is still there, and it seems that it has never been touched.

It seems that Shiqi has not returned.

Carefully stepping on the canopy boat, Ru Xuan gently shook the boat, and with a push towards the shore, the boat swayed into the lake.

She is not very good at sailing, the canopy boat made several turns in the lake before approaching the island in the middle of the lake, Ru Xuan carefully held the boat steady and jumped off the boat.

Most of the flowers that have been carefully planted on the island in the middle of the lake have also withered, only a red plum in the corner of the bamboo house, which is standing in the wind, and the branches are full of small buds, revealing a faint red, which is very beautiful.

The wooden door of the bamboo house was closed, Ru Xuan nudged it, and the wooden door "squeaked" to the side.

The qiē in the house is still the same as when it was gone, everything has never been touched, and because it has not been taken care of for a long time, it is covered with a thin layer of dust.

It seems that Shiqi really did not come back.

Ru Xuan, who had great hopes, felt very disappointed at this time, looking at the empty room, she felt empty in her heart, and she didn't have half a point.

Suddenly, Ru Xuan remembered the nightmare she had a few days ago, the nightmare that the world was right in front of her eyes, and she fell down hard.

The sight of that sharp arrow was so real, and the blood splashed on his face seemed to be a little warm.

Recalling that terrible scene, Ru Xuan was shocked, her pupils instantly shrank a little, and her fingers subconsciously climbed to her face.

The face was normal, there was no sweet smell of that day's dream, and there was no warm feeling of blood.

Shiqi, are you okay now?

Ru Xuan looked at the water scoop used for watering the flowers quietly placed on the table, and there was still half a scoop of water in it that had not been used up, and asked herself blankly.

Outside, the sun rose very high, and the sunlight shone on the earth, shining into the small bamboo house through the four-panel windows, reflecting the light of a white flower.

After sitting in Qingxinzhai for a while, seeing that it was noon, it was time for lunch, so Ru Xuan got up and walked slowly towards Chunhui Palace.

The way back was very smooth, and she didn't meet anyone, and soon, Ru Xuan stepped into the gate of Chunhui Palace.

As soon as I entered the door, I happened to see Qiu Ling standing alone in the courtyard, holding the handkerchief embroidered with plum blossoms that Shang Meiren had just admired, pursing her lips, looking like she was about to cry.

"What's going on?" Ru Xuan opened her mouth and asked, "But what did you do wrong?" ”

Qiu Ling raised her eyes and saw that it was Ru Xuan, and suddenly became even more aggrieved, her small mouth was deflated, the tears in her eyes almost fell, and she whimpered and said: "Chang Zhaoyi and Hu Guiren came to visit the beauties, and when I served tea for them, I accidentally spilled the tea on Chang Zhaoyi's body......"

Needless to say, Qiu Ling must have been in trouble, and Shang Meiren couldn't scold a few words because she was present.

Ru Xuan comforted: "Don't take it to heart, beauties are also in the way of face, and they are indispensable." ”

"It's not that I'm annoyed by the beauty, if something like this happens, if the beauty doesn't blame, it will make others feel that the beauty has no way to discipline her!" Qiu Ling said with a sob.

"And what are you?" Ru Xuan asked puzzled.

Now that he understands this truth, he will pass with a smile, Qiu Ling is not a grudge, and he even boasts that his skin is thicker than the corner of the city wall, why is he suddenly angry today.

"It was I who clearly saw that it was Hu Guiren who stretched out his foot and tripped me, and the tea spilled Chang Zhaoyi's body!" Qiu Ling explained, her face becoming more and more aggrieved.

It's no wonder that Qiu Ling was sad, she was framed, and she was naturally uncomfortable.

It's just that......

"Hu Guiren?" Ru Xuan's head was full of questions.

I don't remember when there was an extra nobleman surnamed Hu in the palace.

The nobles have no rank in the palace, they are only a little higher than the status of the palace maids, and the food and clothing are not much better than the palace maids, but the nobles can sleep and can be regarded as having a head. But such a noble person with a low status can walk with Chang Zhaoyi, which makes Ru Xuan feel a little strange.

"Well, Hu Guiren, you also know that it is your former fellow countryman, Hu Qiaohui." Qiu Ling said.

"Is that her?!" Ru Xuan heard Qiu Ling's answer and stayed there for a while.

I only know that Qiaohui has been loved by Chang Zhaoyi since she arrived at Chang Zhaoyi's Tingyunxuan, and she has directly become her personal palace maid, and her eating and drinking are much better than ordinary palace maids.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Qiaohui would become a nobleman.

Those scenes of eating and living together, working together, and having fun with Qiaohui seem to have happened yesterday, but time flies, the years have no trace, and in a blink of an eye, Ru Xuan is still a little palace maid, and Qiaohui has become a Hu Guiren. R1152
