Chapter 85
Ripple Palace is remote, even if Lu Jinjing left early, but when he arrived at Chonghua Palace, everyone basically arrived.
"Who is this sister, don't you know that today is an important day to meet the queen for the first time? Or is my sister deliberately late in order to get our sister's attention? As soon as Lu Jinjing entered, Concubine De raised her eyebrows and said in a weird manner, I don't know, I thought she was joking.
Concubine De has always recognized clearly, in the past, Concubine Shu was the biggest in this palace, she and Concubine Shu were sisters, and now with the queen mother, she naturally has to cling to it, and they all say that it is good to enjoy the shade with her back against the big tree, as long as she does not make mistakes, but whenever something happens, presumably even if the queen mother does not help her, at least it will not hurt her.
Lu Jinjing did not answer Concubine De's words, but saluted, "Queen Mother, the concubine is late, please don't blame the Queen Mother." ”
"Today is indeed your late, if the palace does not punish you for the first time, how to stand in this harem, and it is not easy to explain to the sisters, this palace will punish you for reciting the palace rules in front of the Chonghua Palace every day, when you are familiar with it, you don't have to memorize it again." Wen Ruoyu's punishment is not heavy, but it is not light.
"Yes, thank you, Queen." In the palace, rewards are also punishments, and punishments can also be rewards, as long as they are given by the master, they must be accepted. The rules and regulations of the palace, how easy it is to memorize them.
Lu Jinjing knew that this woman's nature had not changed, but she had just entered the palace and restrained a little, this time she was late, and in the future, she really needed to be careful everywhere, otherwise she would be caught by this woman, and she didn't know what would happen.
"Queen Mother, you are kind-hearted, you gave her such a light punishment, she is late, if you say it seriously, it is to despise the queen, it is a big crime, according to the concubine, it is not too much to give death." As soon as Concubine De opened her mouth, she attracted the sideways glances of all the concubines.
Even if you tie up the queen's mother, you don't need to work so hard.
"My sister is serious, and she has to be forgiving and forgiving, not to mention that a good and noble person made a mistake for the first time today, which is also understandable." Wen Ruoyu smiled on her face, but she was thinking in her heart, she was reciting the palace rules at the gate of Chonghua Palace every day, so it would not sound good to wait for the reputation to spread, the best way to destroy a person is to corrupt her little by little, Chonghua Palace is her territory, when these concubines are gone, what do you want, it is not her who has the final say.
"Sister is generous." Concubine De's age is younger than Wen Ruoyu, but in the harem, whoever has a high status is a sister, and a low status can only be a sister.
Wen Ruoyu smiled slightly, and then began to get down to business: "Sisters, this palace heard that there is a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, this year's harvest should not be very good, sisters in the palace naturally can't understand the suffering of the common people, this palace has thought of a way to help the emperor share the worries, can the sisters be willing to take out the jewelry and clothes they don't use, why don't you sell them, you can also make up some money." ”
"Niangniang is really a bodhisattva, most people can't think of such a good way, it must be Niangniang who thinks about the people day and night, so she can come up with such a good way, my sister is really guilty." The jade concubine has been here for a long time, and she hasn't spoken, but now it's just to brush up on her presence in front of the queen.
As soon as she opened her mouth, some people were happy and some were unhappy. Naturally, she is happy with Wen Ruoyu, and with a good reputation, it will be more convenient for her to do something in the palace in the future. The one who is unhappy is Ruan Lingyu, what was the jade concubine like in the past? Maintain the crown princess everywhere, and now that she has the queen, the heart of the jade concubine, I am afraid that she will not be here for a long time.
"My sister doesn't have to feel guilty, now that I have such an opportunity, it's good for my sister to donate more things." Wen Ruoyu is not very temperamental to the concubines of various palaces, just for temptation.
Wen Ruoyu said this, and Concubine Yu suddenly felt a little embarrassed, if she donated less than other concubines, wouldn't it seem that what she said just now was a lie.
"The family is rich, I don't care about those gold and silver jewelry, but if there are fewer things to take out, it will naturally look stingy, the concubine remembers that the jade concubine's sister has a thin family, and the emperor does not often reward it, presumably the jade concubine's sister does not have many good things in her hands, or do what she can, the queen, do you say?" Ruan Lingyu knew that Wen Ruoyu was the only master of Baiyun Villa, what the specific situation of Baiyun Villa was, she didn't know, but the family background was always rich, not so bad, she said it now, she also figured it out, if you don't be a queen, you won't be a queen, after a long time, people will forget the former princess, if you love jokes, let them laugh, as long as she doesn't care, nothing can hurt her.
"Yes, Sister Ruan, this palace is young, and she has just become a queen, there are still many things I don't understand, and in the future, I will have to ask Sister Ruan for advice." Wen Ruoyu said this deliberately, she knew that Emperor Shuntian wanted to suppress the Ruan family, so she had to strike first to suppress Concubine Ruan.
Ruan Lingyu was embarrassed for a while, and she didn't know what to do to react in an instant, she tried her best to avoid it, but found that she still couldn't escape.
"Sister Ruan, the queen asked you." Nangong Zixi also wanted to watch this good show, and "kindly" reminded him.
"Queen Mother, the concubine believes in your ability, the emperor chose you, so many people also chose you, Niangniang must be outstanding." Ruan Lingyu's words were not full, but everyone understood that Concubine Ruan cared.
"Sister Ruan's words are a bit of a shirk, could it be that Sister Ruan has forgotten the scenery in the Prince's Mansion in the past? I heard that Sister Ruan is resolute and manages the Prince's Mansion in an orderly manner, although the concubine has not seen it with her own eyes, but she has also heard it, and now the queen mother asks Sister Ruan for advice, I don't know if Sister Ruan minds? After all, it is inevitable that there is a gap in my heart. Nangong Zixi asked rhetorically, she didn't believe it, Ruan Lingyu could endure it for so long.
"The queen's mother, there are no concubines, the prince's mansion is the prince's mansion, and the harem is the harem, how can it be the same, if you say so according to the sister of the southern concubine, isn't the prince the same as the emperor?" Ruan Lingyu is really angry, if she doesn't exert her authority, others will dare to kick her nose in the face.
"Hey, Sister Ruan, don't be angry, my sister doesn't dare to take such words, originally, there was no such meaning, just chatting." Nangong Zixi was frightened, if Concubine Ruan's words spread out, not to mention what the emperor would think, even those ministers would definitely not let her go, the impeachment of Yu Shitai is not a joke.
