Chapter 212: Promise
At this time, Zhao Luzhu came.
Yilin was still swinging, and the palace maids present were afraid, but at the same time showed a hint of excitement to see a good show, wishing that Tang Jingchen and Zhao Luzhu would fight.
Tang Jingchen saw what they were thinking, they were simply speechless, the women in the palace sometimes gossiped so much that there was no reason for it, just take these rough palace maids as an example, if they were to pinch Zhao Luzhu, they would be the first to bear the brunt of the bad luck.
But they are still waiting to see the quarrel, should they say that they are stupid or their hearts are too hot to watch the excitement.
Seeing Tang Jingchen, Zhao Luzhu was stunned, and then laughed, "Sister Tang, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I still want to go to Tingyuxuan to play with you." ”
Tang Jingchen also smiled, "I miss you too, I heard that you are doing well these days." ”
Zhao Luzhu's face suddenly turned red, her face was full of shyness, she lowered her head, twisted the straps on her dress with both hands, and said in a low voice: "Sister is going to make fun of me too." ”
"Where is the teasing, I am happy for you, the most important thing in the harem is the emperor's favor, this is the capital of life, but I want to advise you, don't get carried away, you must be cautious in your words and deeds at all times."
Listening to Tang Jingchen's words, Zhao Luzhu was full of gratitude, "Yes, I know that Sister Tang will not be jealous of me, unlike those people who look down on me on the surface and behind their backs, saying that the emperor's favor was bought by my father with money." ”
Tang Jingchen became more and more speechless, the concubines in the palace all looked very well-born and very educated, but when they were jealous, they were no different from the shrews in the market.
In fact, she also heard some rumors, since the emperor allowed businessmen to donate money to serve the court, Zhao Luzhu's father was the most enthusiastic, almost donated half of his wealth, under his drive, many businessmen donated generously, and the treasury was unprecedentedly rich.
In order to commend Zhao Dad, the emperor made an exception and rewarded him with a six-grade crown, although he did not have an official position, but with the crown, he could also be on an equal footing with the officials.
Father Zhao was very satisfied, but the jealousy and dissatisfaction of the concubines from the family towards Zhao Luzhu inevitably reached a new peak, and all kinds of ugly words could be said without any scruples.
"In the future, if they dare to say this in front of you again, you can ask them, if your father uses money to buy the emperor to favor you, where will the emperor be placed?"
Zhao Luzhu's eyes lit up, and then she clapped her hands and smiled: "Yes, why didn't I think of this layer, if the emperor pampers me because of my father's money, then what has become of the emperor, next time someone dares to talk in front of me, I will say so." ”
Tang Jingchen taught her, "Don't be too strong, it's better to be wronged, the emperor likes weaker girls." ”
has been in the palace for so many years, how could she not know the emperor's preferences, she and Zhao Luzhu are also fateful, and they get along well, if she can help a little, maybe one day she will need Zhao Luzhu's help.
Zhao Luzhu hurriedly nodded, "Well, I understand, thank you Sister Tang for teaching me this." ”
Yi Lin had enough of playing with the swing at this time, and also knew that the swing belonged to Zhao Luzhu, so she hurriedly walked over and saluted, "The slave should not take the swing of the noble little master privately, and ask the noble little master to forgive the sin." ”
Zhao Luzhu hurriedly pulled her up and said with a smile: "What is not a crime, I am like sisters with your master, what is a mere swing, if you want to play in the future, just come and play, you don't need to ask me for instructions." ”
She said to Tang Jingchen again: "This Qingrun Garden has many memories of me, and the first time I met the emperor was also here, so I like to come here for a walk when I have time, and occasionally mention that I miss the swing frame at home, and the emperor made one for me." ”
Tang Jingchen hurriedly warned her, "It is your blessing that the emperor favors you, but it's just a matter of saying these words in front of me, don't say this to others, otherwise people will think you're showing off." ”
Zhao Luzhu thought for a moment and suddenly realized, "Yes, if I hear someone say this, I will definitely think that she is showing off." ”
She patted her head with a look of annoyance, "I'm so brainless, I thought I was smarter." ”
Tang Jingchen smiled, she could introspect, but she was actually much smarter.
The two walked and chatted all the way, and heard a cry from a distance, Zhao Luzhu said first: "Who is there?" ”
A figure turned out from behind the tree, Tang Jingchen recognized her, it was Li Xin'er who lived in the same palace room with Xu Xinyue, Li Xin'er promised that she couldn't live alone as usual, so she lived in the side hall of Xu Xinyue's palace.
Zhao Luzhu also recognized it, "Li promised?" ”
Li Xin'er saluted the two, "The concubine sees Concubine Jing, see the noble little master, Concubine Jing is auspicious, and the noble little lord is auspicious." ”
The news in the palace has always spread very quickly, since Tang Jingchen asked Xiao Guizi to call her Concubine Jing instead of the imperial concubine, almost overnight, everyone reverted to Tang Jingchen's old name.
The emperor also acquiesced to this.
As for the Queen Mother, she has been out of Cining Palace under the pretext of being sick these days, and she has not let the concubines go to ask for peace, and even if such a big thing happened in the previous dynasty, her mother's family also donated money, and she didn't ask.
Tang Jingchen always felt that she was brewing some big conspiracy, but there was no evidence, so she had to endure it and not mention it, anyway, the emperor was already wary of the queen mother now, if she made a move, the emperor would definitely find out.
"Get up." Tang Jingchen said to Li Xin'er.
Li Xin'er stood up, but she seemed to be very frightened, her hands were folded on her chest, trembling, Zhao Luzhu sighed, and said to Tang Jingchen: "She has always been so timid. ”
Between the words, he was very sympathetic to Li Xin'er.
Tang Jingchen's eyes flashed, and she looked at Li Xin'er quietly, she has been in the palace for ten years, she no longer wants to trust anyone easily, everyone will pretend to be for their own purposes, some people pretend to be pure, and some people pretend to be timid.
Looking at Li Xin'er's hand carefully, Tang Jingchen's heart moved, "Li promised, what's the matter with your hand?" ”
Li Xin'er kept holding her hand on her chest first, and when Tang Jingchen asked this, she retracted her hand back into her sleeve, "Niangniang, don't ask, the concubine's hand is good, it's nothing at all." ”
Tang Jingchen couldn't help but smile, the more she said that, the more she had to ask?
I just don't know if this play was planned by Li Xin'er a long time ago, or was it a temporary idea after a chance encounter?
No matter what it was, it was her heart first, Tang Jingchen made a decision, so she grabbed Li Xin'er's wrist, lifted it up gently, her sleeves slipped down, and Li Xin'er's hands fell into view.
Zhao Luzhu gasped first.
