"Okay, how can I be polite to you." Saying this, when he was almost finished, Guerjia suddenly said: "When I came here just now, I met Yushan. ”

Yushan? Ling Ruo thought for a while before remembering that this was the palace maid beside Shu Mulu's side, put down the silver chopsticks, took the hot handkerchief that Yang Hai was serving aside, and said, "Uh, what's wrong with her?" ”

Guerjia took a piece of winter bamboo shoots on the chopsticks but didn't eat it, looked at it and then rested it on the bowl and said: "Liu's concubine's auspicious clothes were accidentally broken by the little eunuch of the Internal Affairs Bureau, and Shu Mulu's family took the initiative to repair it after knowing the Tao, just now Yushan took the auspicious clothes that had been repaired back to the Internal Affairs Mansion, I have seen it, and the repair is excellent, and there are no traces of damage at all." ”

Ling Ruo's hand to wipe his lips slowed, and then he threw the handkerchief back into the plate, and said casually, "Isn't that good?" It shows that Hui Guiren is good at female red, good at repairing, and helpful, and kind as a bodhisattva. ”

Guerjia raised his eyebrows and looked sideways: "Do you really think so?" ”

Ling Ruo smiled without saying a word, got up and walked to the wenge wood under the window, folded a daffodil from the porcelain pot placed on it, put it under his nose and sniffed it deeply, and then said: "This flower is fragrant and pleasant, although it is strong but not strong, although it is fragrant but not turbid, so many people like to raise a few pots of orchids; But if you sprinkle a layer of incense powder on this flower, although it is more fragrant, it will be counterproductive and make people want to vomit. With that, she returned to the table, pinned the orchid to Guerjia's placket, and chuckled, "It's nice to be this way!" ”

Guerjia raised his hand and stroked the delicate white petals of the orchid, and said forgively: "The flowers are beautiful, but listening to your words, it doesn't look like just talking about flowers." ”

Ling Ruo clapped his hands, his eyes were slightly cold, "Shu Mulu and Liu were show girls who entered the palace in the same year, and both of them were always there at that time, and then one was named a noble by the emperor by relying on the queen and those eyes, and the other was named a noble by carrying a dragon seed; It can be said that these two people have been fighting, and now that the Liu family is about to be named a concubine and called a mother, how can the Shu Mulu clan, who is behind her, be willing? But it was in this situation that she took the initiative to repair the auspicious clothes for the Liu family, and asked the palace maid to send it back overnight. This Shu Mulu clan is definitely not to be underestimated. ”

Guerjia listened quietly, she just thought of this, and then specifically mentioned it to Ling Ruo, and after Ling Ruo finished speaking, she got up and said: "Otherwise, how could the queen find her as a pawn, in my opinion, she wouldn't just watch Liu jump above herself, she must find a way to climb up." ”

"Everyone in the palace wants to climb up, but there is no one in ten who can climb to the top, and more fall down when they reach the mountainside." Ling Ruo paused for a moment, and then said: "But Shu Mulu does have some scheming, the Liu family once told me before, the queen ordered her to get rid of the Liu family's children, but she secretly allied with the Liu family, wanting to hide from the world, not only perfunctory to the queen, but also not to bear the charge of murdering the dragon fetus, killing two birds with one stone." It's hard for me to say how far such a person will climb. ”

The Guerjia clan knew about this matter, and while nodding, he said: "It seems that this chess piece is not very handy for the queen." Ruo'er, do you say that for Shu Mulu's rebellion, does the queen know the way or not? ”

Ling Ruo smiled, took the chrysanthemum tea handed by the palace people and rinsed his mouth, and said, "Our queen mother is so thoughtful, how can I guess." ”

"It's time to be bored when you have nothing to guess." Guerjia chuckled and said, "Last time I bet on snow, I won, this time let's see if I will win." ”

Seeing that she was so interested, Ling Ruo was also inconvenient, so she said, "Okay, what is my sister betting on?" You can't just take anything to send me away. ”

Guerjia's eyes rolled and said, "Why don't you bet on the golden silk butterfly-shaped pearl you lost to me last time?" ”

Ling Ruo laughed at what she said, pursed her lips and said, "Sister, don't you mean it, take the things you won back and gamble, let people know what you want, but it's time to say that your sister is stingy." ”

Guerjia couldn't help laughing, raised his chin and said, "I'm not stingy, I'm just giving you a chance to win back what you lost, how, bet?" ”

"I won't accept such an insincere bet." Ling Ruo pushed her words and said: "Actually, the queen knows that the way is the same, she will never completely believe in a person, so sooner or later the Shu Mulu clan will be thrown aside as an outcast, but I think that the Shu Mulu clan wants to get rid of the queen's control, so I don't know who can take the first step." ”

Guerjia brushed the broken hair in his ear and said, "According to what you say, it seems that we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?" ”

Ling Ruo straightened the hairpin on her bun and said, "What, doesn't my sister like it?" ”

Guerjia smiled and said, "I can't see people fighting each other, and I can't hurt myself, how can I not like such a good thing." Such a smile turned into a sigh in the back, looked down at the orchid on the placket, and said in a condensed voice: "After fighting for so many years, I am actually a little tired, but I have to fight, otherwise I will be like this orchid, and my life will be arbitrarily cut off." ”

"One day you live in this red wall, one day you fight harder, this is your life and mine, even if you are tired of it, you must continue." Ling Ruo opened the window and let the night wind howl in, blowing on her face, for a long time, she closed the window, turned around and said, "Sister accompany me to play a game." ”

"Okay, I may not have played chess for a long time, but don't you have to be busy with Liu's canonization ceremony?"

Ling Ruo ordered Shui Xiu to bring the chess pieces and said: "It's just a concubine, the things to be prepared are not too cumbersome, and they have been roughly ordered, as long as they are checked again a few days ago." I won't miss anything that should be hers; It shouldn't be hers, and she shouldn't be delusional. ”

Guerjia understood the meaning of her words, and grabbed a handful of chess pieces from Shui Xiu's hand, and the cold chess pieces kept taking away the temperature of the palm, "I'm afraid that some people will not be at ease with the position under them." ”

"That's up to her." Throwing down this sentence, Ling Ruo didn't say anything more, took another box of chess pieces and put it in front of him, concentrating on the game.

A small chessboard, but give life in the hand, to the feeling of grabbing the fingers, which is nothing else can be compared, perhaps only a life full of variables and unknowns can be compared, no wonder some people say that chess is like life, it is really not bad at all.

The game was played until the sky was full of stars, and there was no place to settle on the board, and it ended in a draw. On the way to send the Guerjia clan out of Wanfang He'an, Ling Ruo didn't say a word, only holding the always warm hand of the Guarjia clan. This was not until she walked out of Wanfang He'an, and she didn't let go, and Guerjia said funny: "When are you going to let go?" I'm not the emperor. ”
