Chapter 40: Checks and Balances (2)
Moyu is like a punch on cotton with nowhere to exert force, could it be that someone has already told the girl one step ahead of her? No, everyone in this room was surprised except for the girl.
"Nothing to do in the Cloud Pavilion?" Wen Ruyan thought for a moment and understood the meaning behind these words, "Lord Belle is banning her feet in disguise, in fact, she is pregnant, and it is understandable that she wants to live better, and Lord Belle has always been tolerant and generous to her, not looking at the face of the monk and looking at the face of the Buddha, how can she be so angry this time?" ”
"It's one thing to be pregnant with Baylor's flesh and blood, and it's another thing to be pampered and arrogant and insatiable." Ling Ruo smiled indifferently, and walked through the brocade with a needle in his bare hands, and the golden silk thread worn at the end of the needle was extremely dazzling under the autumn sun, reminiscent of the red walls and yellow tiles of the Forbidden City.
"It's not surprising to see my sister, but I already expected this?" Wen Ruyan looked at Ling Ruo with a smile, and with her intelligence, she guessed something.
Shui Xiu came in with the osmanthus flowers that had just been folded, except for the winter season, Ling Ruo rarely burned incense, and the following people would fold some seasonal flowers every day and put them in the house, and there was the fragrance of flowers in the wind while being fresh.
"Lord Belle is self-disciplined and strict, he doesn't like extravagance and waste, even if he eats alone, even if he has a plate of green vegetables and tofu, it doesn't matter, unlike other elder brothers, who can eat a meal for hundreds of thousands of taels at every turn. Although Lord Belle didn't say it, he kept his duty - these four words were undoubtedly the most important to him. Ling Ruo leisurely stopped the life-like needle and thread in his hand, raised his head and said with a smile: "The most important point why he agreed to Ye's various requests is naturally that his sister said that it is for the sake of the fetus in her womb, but there is another point that my sister ignored. ”
"What is it?" Wen Ru asked thoughtfully.
"Pampering." Ling Ruozheng said: "Lord Belle felt that Ye's coquettish pretending to be stupid was just an innocuous little woman's willfulness, in order to make her feel at ease to raise a fetus and give birth, he repeatedly indulged her willfulness and greed, it was this kind of connivance that made Ye's bit by bit out of her duty, the Bilin Pavilion was built according to the ritual system of the side Fujin at that time, wouldn't the Ye family have the intention to move to the Bilin Pavilion to dye the position of the side Fujin?" Lord Belle is not a foolish person, and he can't see the reason, so he is disgusted. ”
Wen Ruyan smiled with a smile, and said: "Lord Belle is not confused, but someone has to wake up, otherwise he only thinks that the little woman is willful and indulgent." Speaking of this, she suddenly sighed, "Outsiders say that Lord Belle is mean and cold, unkind and unkind, but in my opinion, it is biased, Lord Belle is a person who values love and righteousness, but he usually always has a cold face and is also in charge of the drudgery of the criminal department, so it is misunderstood by the world."
"We can't control what the world thinks, as long as we know the Tao in our hearts." She paused and said: "Actually, the Ye family is in a hurry, if she can wait for a while, and wait until she gives birth to the child in her womb, don't say that the Bilin Pavilion is within reach, even the position of the side Fujin is within reach." ”
According to the rules of the house, giving birth to a child can be promoted to the next level, although the position of the side blessing is full, but the special promotion is not in this case, Ye Xiu is not without a chance, of course, if he gives birth to a boy, the chance is greater.
"Then you have to go to the emperor with Lord Belle, and after the emperor agrees, he will report to the Zongren Mansion and register his name; Unless you are very favored, you will not be able to ask for this grace. In my opinion, the Ye family's status in Lord Baylor's heart has not yet reached this point, not to mention ......" Wen Ruyan scratched his scalp with a needle and said the most critical point, "The Ye family is Li Fujin's person, do you think Li Fujin can allow a chess piece to be on an equal footing with her?" Don't forget that the Li family is already a side blessing, even if a boy is born, there is no possibility of re-promotion! ”
Ling Ruo's face couldn't help but change slightly when she heard her say the back, not because of the Li family, but because she thought of something more terrifying. In a trance, the needle lost its accuracy when it was worn in the brocade, and the head did not pierce the index finger very much, and a drop of red blood immediately formed on the fingertip.
"Ahh Girl, you're bleeding. Mo Yu exclaimed, and quickly took the handkerchief and pressed Ling Ruo's fingers, but unfortunately he was still a step too slow, and the blood droplets slipped down his fingertips before that, and happened to drop on Lu Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals, he was originally wearing a moonlight robe, and this drop of bright red blood fell on him extremely dazzling.
"It's just a needle prick that doesn't tighten." Ling Ruo comforted Xiao Changzi and the others who came around, his eyes fell on the embroidery picture, and he said with great regret: "It's a pity that this picture is almost finished but it was ruined because of me, wasting my sister's hard work, and it will definitely be too late to re-embroider, it seems that we have to re-dedicate a birthday gift to Concubine De Niangniang." ”
Wen Ruyan had been staring at the drop of blood, and at this moment, when she heard Ling Ruo's apologetic words, she raised her head, revealing a soft smile and said, "Maybe this birthday gift can still be used, you can look at it." ”
I saw that after she said this, she immediately changed an embroidery needle, put on the rose red silk thread and fell the needle with the blood, the needle rose and fell, the speed was extremely fast, and soon it came out, she actually led the blood to the thread, and embroidered it into a lifelike peony flower, and when the needle came out after the most lusk, Wen Ruyan sighed lightly and cut the silk thread in his hand, "Okay, so you can't see it, everyone knows about Lu Dongbin's three plays of white peony, and embroidering a peony on him is not too abrupt, even if Concubine De asked, It's barely reasonable. ”
Ling Ruo clapped her hands and praised: "Sister's ingenious mind can actually come up with a solution in such a short period of time, and it is so seamless. ”
Wen Ruyan glanced at her angrily and said, "Okay, don't pour more ecstasy soup, don't say what you thought of just now, it made you miss even the best female celebrity." ”
"I can't hide anything from my sister." Slender fingers stroked the peony flower embroidered with blood, and a chill flashed in his eyes, "I just suddenly thought that the Ye family was so anxious to change the Bilin Pavilion, could it be that they also thought of this, afraid that the Li family would block her promotion path, so she started planning early in the morning?" ”
Wen Ruyan had just changed the silk thread and was about to drop the needle, when she heard this, she almost pricked a needle in her hand, and said in horror: "How can Ye's superficial and flamboyant have such a scheming, could it be that you think too much?" ”
"Maybe I'm thinking too much, or maybe this Ye Fujin is disguised too well, so everyone looks away." The blood on his fingertips had stopped, leaving only a small red needle eye, but Ling Ruo's heart was uneasy, and the puddle of water in Baylor's Mansion seemed to be getting deeper and deeper.
Wen Ruyan thought for a while and said: "No matter what, you have to be careful of this person in the future, and she is pregnant now, you must not provoke her, otherwise if something happens, even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won't be able to wash it away." ”
"I know it." Ling Ruo looked at the embroidery needle in his hand, which was only an inch long but extremely sharp, and agreed, the most terrifying thing in this world was never an open gun, but a hidden arrow.
