Chapter 312: Competing for favor
But this series of actions is too big, alarming the queen's eyeliner in the harem.
"What does she do with these things?" The queen looked at the henchman kneeling below with some confusion and asked.
The henchmen shook their heads: "I don't know for the time being, maybe it's because of curiosity?" ”
The queen was puzzled, it would not be good if Ruan Wanwan really found out something by mistake in the harem.
Thinking of this, the queen immediately looked at the palace maid beside her: "Go and invite her over, just say that I have something to see her." ”
The palace maid understood, and when she went to invite Ruan Wanwan, she was sitting in her room eating snacks.
She didn't worry much about the matter of the concubine after she knew a foundation, and when she heard that the queen wanted to see her, Ruan Wanwan was a little surprised, and hurriedly packed herself up and followed those palace maids to the queen's palace.
"I don't know why the queen mother invited her sons to come." Ruan Wanwan asked respectfully.
The queen waved away all the people around her before asking, "I heard that you went to the concubine?" ”
Ruan Wanwan was shocked, she went to the concubine and didn't tell the queen, how did she know?
Thinking about it, the queen's people are everywhere in the harem, and it is not surprising to know about it.
"Yes, Erchen is curious, so I went to see the concubine Niangniang, and there is no other meaning, the queen mother can rest assured." Ruan Wanwan knew that she couldn't hide it, so she simply admitted it truthfully.
The queen looked at Ruan Wanwan's nervous appearance and chuckled: "This palace has no other meaning, I am afraid that you will be wronged in the harem, and it will be difficult for this palace to explain to the prince at this time!" ”
Ruan Wanwan responded, she stood below a little uneasy.
To be honest, she didn't expect that the queen would call herself here today for these things, which made Ruan Wanwan's heart warm, especially when the queen was afraid that she would be wronged.
"The queen mother doesn't have to worry, the son has some evidence now, and those people in the harem will not easily bully the son of the minister." Ruan Wanwan raised her head, and her eyes looked at the queen with such a bright eye.
When the queen heard that Ruan Wanwan had already mastered some evidence, she was secretly surprised.
After the two chatted a few more words, the queen instructed Ruan Wanwan: "You must pay attention to your own safety, although you already have evidence in your hand, you still have to be careful." ”
Ruan Wanwan nodded in response.
After coming out of the queen's palace, Ruan Wanwan's heart warmed, and she walked back to her residence.
The snack was still on the table, and Ruan Wanwan didn't have much appetite to eat when he came back.
In the next few days, there was constant good news from the Tai Hospital, and the concubine's condition was getting better and better, and everything was as she expected.
But to Ruan Wanwan's surprise, during the time when the concubine was detoxifying, the queen did not interfere, so everything seemed to be going very well.
As soon as the concubine's smallpox was unraveled, the emperor sent someone to summon Ruan Wanwan.
"Father." When she saw the emperor, Ruan Wanwan's heart was not half afraid.
The emperor looked down at Ruan Wanwan, who was kneeling on the ground, and was silent for a few seconds before raising his hand to call her up.
"What is the situation with the concubine, you tell the truth." The emperor's majestic voice came down from above.
Ruan Wanwan was shocked, even the emperor was suspicious of this matter?
After a moment of silence, she truthfully informed the emperor of the incident.
It's just that, where necessary, it is slightly concealed.
After hearing this, the emperor knew that he had misunderstood Ruan Wanwan in the past, and he didn't expect that the concubine would actually joke with her own life.
"It seems that I have misunderstood you in the past, say, what compensation do you want?" The emperor's voice became a lot softer as he spoke.
Ruan Wanwan's heart didn't have anything to make amends: "Your Majesty, the noble concubine wants to attract your attention with such a thing, and she has suffered a lot of sins, so her sons don't need to ask for any compensation." ”
Although she said so, the emperor was a little unhappy in his heart, and he asked the eunuch to bring a few boxes.
When the box was opened, it was filled with some fine jewelry, and the workmanship was extremely exquisite, and at a glance it was a fine product that the Ministry of Internal Affairs had spent a lot of time making.
After seeing these things, Ruan Wanwan's eyes straightened.
What girl can not love jewelry and dress up? With so much jewelry in front of her, she didn't have any resistance.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ruan Wanwan said after saluting seriously.
It's just that the emperor never expected that the concubine would use such a thing to compete for favor, and he was a little disappointed in the concubine.
And Ruan Wanwan, who was wronged, maintained an indifferent attitude of purity and self-purity from beginning to end, which made the emperor even more impressed.
Now that the war at the border is tight, it is the time when it is necessary to use troops, the emperor has pacified Ruan Wanwan, and there are still a bunch of serious things to deal with, so he ordered the eunuch to send her back to his courtyard.
When she came out with those jewelry, Ruan Wanwan's heart burst with joy.
Returning to the courtyard and opening the boxes, and then taking out the jewelry inside and looking at it carefully, the corners of Ruan Wanwan's mouth hooked up a smile.
And here, after seeing off Ruan Wanwan, the emperor immediately summoned the ministers over.
There were wars at the border gates, and many ministers of the Military Aircraft Department were anxious to see the emperor at this time.
There was a lot of discussion about this war, and the emperor already had a headache just listening to it.
After arguing for a long time, in the end, no one obeyed anyone, and after everyone left, the emperor suddenly asked the eldest prince to secretly recall from the border pass.
The sudden recall of the eldest prince was only afraid that it would cause turmoil in the court, and one of the two military ministers who stayed behind stood up, looked at the emperor uneasily and asked: "Your Majesty, if the eldest prince is recalled at this time, I am afraid that several other princes in the court may be uneasy, especially His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
However, the emperor has already made up his mind.
"I will recall the eldest prince, naturally he will be useful, you don't need to say it anymore, just go and pass the decree immediately." The emperor waved his hand as he spoke, and immediately sent someone to deliver the message.
As everyone knows, the eldest prince who received this secret report is also muttering in his heart now.
"You have been here so well, why would Your Majesty suddenly recall you back to the imperial court? Could it be that something big is happening in the DPRK and China now? One of the staff members asked uneasily.
The eldest prince stared at the secret report in his hand for a few seconds and lowered his eyes, not knowing what he thought.
"Since it is the will of the father, you just have to carry it out, and as for here, arrange the people." After the eldest prince put away the letter, he looked at the group of staff below with clear eyes.
The news from the letter told him to leave immediately, but the time was too hasty, and he could only arrange his staff here in the form of a letter.
