Wen Ruyan's pale complexion became more and more crystal clear in the heavy snow, and she couldn't see that she was in her thirties at all, so she took Ling Ruo's hand and said, "I was in a panic in the palace, so I wanted to sit here with you." Behind her was a palace man carrying a food box.

One entered the warm pavilion that burned the earth dragon, the heat came to the face, swallowing all the chill on the two of them, after Wen Ruyan sat down, the palace people opened the food box and brought out a bowl of steaming dumplings, "Although it is not Chinese New Year's Eve yet, but it is only these two days of work, I remember that when I was in the mansion before, you liked to eat the dumplings I wrapped the most, so I took advantage of nothing to wrap a few and try it to see how it tasted." ”

"My sister's dumplings are naturally delicious." Ling Ruo said with a smile, scooped one into his mouth, chewed it carefully, and nodded: "It's the same as nineteen years ago, some haven't changed." ”

"Except for Hanyan, I can only find you to eat this dumpling together." Wen Ruyan said this, his face unconsciously showing a little loss.

Ling Ruo keenly sensed that Wen Ruyan had something on her mind, and immediately asked, "What's wrong with my sister?" ”

Wen Ruyan noticed her abnormality, and hurriedly shook her head and said, "It's okay, let's eat dumplings." ”

She said this, but Ling Ruo put down the bowl, paused for a while, and said, "Sister, is she a family member?" ”

Wen Ruyan was silent for a while and said: "Yesterday, they sent me a letter, saying that my younger brother had failed many attempts, and asked me to intercede with the emperor and reward him with an official and a half-position, saving him from being idle at home all day." ”

Ling Ruo stared at her and said, "It's not a big deal, my sister is talking to me, but you want me to open this mouth to the emperor?" If Wen Ruyan really said so, with the friendship between the two of them, she would never refuse.

"It's not." Wen Ruyan shook her head, the jade pendant under her ear flashed with a cold light, and gently hit her face, "I just feel very sad, when I was in the palace, I couldn't receive a letter in a year, but since I was named a concubine, there are often letters at home, and after entering the palace to seal the concubines, I received letters from them in three days." Ruo'er, have you ever seen such a snobbish family? ”

Ling Ruo was speechless, she only heard Wen Ruyan mention her family on the day she first entered the mansion, and she never heard about it again, and she said that she had never had any contact.

"I always knew that they sent me to the house in the hope that I would bring them glory and wealth, but they didn't want to be so powerful. When I was humiliated and unfavored, they ignored me, and now I was favored by the emperor and made a concubine, and they put it on with a shy face, which is really frightening. At this time, Wen Ruyan kept a sarcastic and sharp smile on her face.

Ling Ruo held her hand and said softly: "Sister, don't be sad, you return me, and Sister Hanyan and Yun, no matter what, we will be by your side." ”

"I know that my heart is suddenly sad." Wen Ruyan smiled reluctantly, pointed to the dumplings on the small table and said, "Eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it's cold." ”

"Hmm." Ling Ruo ate a bowl of dumplings in order not to brush off her good intentions, and after wiping the soup stains on the corners of her mouth, she said, "Then how is my sister going now, do you want to ask the emperor for this favor?" ”

"Don't go. I didn't have anything to do with them before, so why should I care about them? What's more, when this so-called younger brother entered the house, he was not yet born. Wen Ruyan really didn't feel anything about her family, but was more disappointed and disgusted.

"But they are my sister's family after all, is my sister going to ignore it for the rest of her life?" Although Wen Ruyan didn't say anything, Ling Ruo could feel her pain, if not, who would want to be a stranger to her family.

Wen Ruyan's heart was also very confused, and she shook her head and said, "Besides, I'm really in no mood to pay attention to them now." By the way, I just saw Concubine Yu go out, what is she doing here? ”

After Ling Ruo explained Concubine Yu's intentions, Wen Ruyan nodded and said, "Although she is cautious and cautious, she can still clearly distinguish between right and wrong. If you can make friends with them, try to make good friends, and maybe it can be a help in the future. ”

"I didn't think about this, I just thought that Hongli could have one more companion." Speaking of this, Ling Ruo let out a long sigh and said, "Being in the royal family, it's really pitiful. ”

"After all, there is no one in this palace who is not pitied. Royal...... It's just that it looks noble, but it's actually much worse than ordinary people. Thinking of the ups and downs of so many years, Wen Ruyan sighed with emotion, if it weren't for the luck of giving birth to a smoke; If it weren't for Ling Ruo and Guerjia's support all the way, she wouldn't know where she would be now.

God is fair, there must be gains if there is a loss, although she has lost the love of her family, but she has gained a rare friendship, and a smart and sensible daughter.

Then she asked a few more questions about Ling Ruo's family, and after learning that she was still in prison, she said: "I know that you don't want to bother the emperor, but there are some things, the longer it drags on, the worse it is, and there are not a few eyes in the palace that are staring at you and your family, I am afraid that they will take the opportunity to make trouble." Therefore, what should be said is still to be said, otherwise it will be too late to regret it when something happens. ”

Ling Ruo nodded silently, "I will, sister, don't worry." ”

In the continuous heavy snow, another day passed, on the night of December 29, Ling Ruo was taking the Hongli homework, and the eunuch of the Jingshifang came to Chengqian Palace to pass the decree and ordered Ling Ruo to go to the Yangxin Palace to serve.

Ling Ruo cleaned up a little, and then said a few words to Hongli, and got into the Fengluan Chunen car that came to pick him up, because of the thick layer of snow accumulated on the ground, the car drove very slowly, and the golden bells at the four corners kept ringing in the wind and snow.

Su Peisheng was guarding outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, and when he saw Ling Ruo getting out of Fengluan Chunen's car, he whispered, "The emperor is inside, let's go in." ”

Ling Ruo pushed open the heavy door of the hall and walked in, there were four gilded candlesticks on each side of the hall, the candlelight shimmered, illuminating the hall brightly, as bright as day.

Yinzhen closed her eyes and sat in the chair, as if she didn't hear the sound of Ling Ruo opening the door and coming in, Ling Ruo was just about to salute, Sixi who was waiting next to Yinzhen made a silent hand gesture towards her, and then walked over lightly and whispered: "Niangniang, the emperor is asleep." ”

"This palace knows the way." After agreeing in the same small voice, Ling Ruo quietly walked to the chair and sat down, waiting for Yinzhen to wake up.

This is more than half an hour, and the candles on the candlestick slowly shorten as time passes

In a slight long exhalation, Yin Zhen opened his eyes, he was a little uncomfortable with the light in the room when he first opened his eyes, and it took a while to see Ling Ruo who had already stood up, he pinched the bridge of his nose and beckoned: "When did you come, why didn't you wake me up?" ”
