Chapter 440: Sharing Worries
Since the incident of beating the beauty, the name of An Xia Bai in the palace has become louder and louder, at first people just said that this is a good queen, and then almost everyone has expectations for this queen, they feel that there is such a woman in charge of the harem, and they will be able to live the life they want to live in the future, so they are more and more convinced of An Xia Bai.
When these rumors were mentioned in An Xiabai's ears, she couldn't help but laugh: "Is it true that I am so good outside?" ”
Leng Cui helped her with her makeup, and nodded with a smile: "But isn't it, people outside have spread your reputation all over the world, almost everyone thinks that you are the savior, and they also think that you can live a good life with Niangniang, yesterday the slave maid went to the palace for a turn, all of them were praising Niangniang." ”
Listening to those words, An Xiabai had mixed feelings in his heart.
Others praise her for being a good queen, but she herself feels unworthy, for no other reason than because she has no tolerance for others.
An Xiabai didn't know how the previous queens were more tolerant of the emperor in the affairs of the harem, and she didn't know if those queens had ever felt sad when they looked at the emperor hugging left and right, in short, An Xiabai was unwilling to accept that feeling, she couldn't tolerate Concubine Lu Li, so she felt that she was not a good queen.
Perhaps what the civil and military officials said was true.......
When An Xiabai was thinking wildly, a noisy voice suddenly came from outside the door, indirectly interspersed with a soft cry.
She felt strange in her heart, went out to investigate, and when she walked outside the door, she saw two grandmothers standing in the courtyard with a young woman, and two other palace maids standing beside her and weeping bitterly, as if they had been wronged a lot.
An Xiabai looked at it again, and when she saw the young woman being escorted by the grandmothers, she suddenly gasped.
"Why did you bring her here?"
The woman escorted by the grandmothers was Lu Shu'er, and Lu Shu'er at this time was not as quiet and gentle as before, but she was embarrassed, not only her clothes were untidy, but even her hair was a little messy.
"Empress Qiyu, this Lu Meiren used lynching in the palace, and the maids reported her, so the slaves and maids took her over," a silent explanation said, "After all, Lu Meiren has a special identity, and the old slave did not dare to interrogate her at will, so he escorted her to the queen mother and asked you to deal with it." ”
Lu Shuer used lynching? Presumably, the two crying palace maids next to them are the targets of passive lynching, right?
An Xiabai's gaze slowly turned to the maids: "Which of you will explain, what is going on?" ”
The two maids quickly knelt on the ground and choked up to tell what had happened.
It turned out that when they were chatting under the corridor, Lu Shu'er happened to pass by the corridor, she didn't know what was going on, so she directly stepped forward and slapped the maids one by one, because the force was too great, and now the cheeks of the two maids are still red and swollen.
"Ask the queen to be the master of the slave!"
An Xiabai didn't speak, but his gaze turned back to Lu Shu'er.
Although she didn't like Lu Shu'er, she only listened to the words of one party, and the other party didn't even have a chance to explain, which was not An Xiabai's style, so she asked Lu Shu'er: "Why do you want to beat someone?" ”
Lu Shu'er raised her eyes suddenly, and there was a little more resentment in her eyes when she looked at the two palace maids.
"They're going to beat you, Queen, and if you don't believe what I say, ask them what they said in the cloister at the time! They said such rebellious words, and even slandered you, the queen, this is the following offense, this is nonsense, people like them should be beaten! I only gave them two slaps, and they were quite light! ”
Seeing Lu Shu'er's indignant appearance, An Xiabai raised her eyebrows slightly.
"What did you say at the time?"
As soon as the two maids heard this question, they immediately knelt on the ground, no matter how An Xiabai asked, they just didn't reveal any tone.
This made An Xiabai quite dissatisfied.
"What did you say?"
The two maids still didn't dare to speak, so at this moment, Lu Shu'er opened her mouth, only to see her sneer and say: "They don't dare to say it in front of the queen mother, why don't you leave it like this, how about I talk about their topic on their behalf?" I heard it left and right, too. At that time, the two of them sat in the corridor, with the courage to come from somewhere, and pointed fingers at the queen mother, and they even said that the queen was not worthy! ”
An Xiabai's heart sank suddenly.
Although she herself knew that she was not a qualified queen, she was still a little uncomfortable when she heard someone say her shortcomings so bluntly.
"Is she telling the truth?"
The two maids do not speak, and in this case, not speaking is equivalent to acquiescence.
An Xiabai had a cold face and asked the grandmothers to drag them out and scold them for twenty, and Lu Shu'er, in view of her for a reason, An Xiabai didn't bother with her, and directly ordered someone to loosen her back.
Lu Shu'er's story for An Xiabai soon reached Lu Li's ears, Lu Li was very relieved about this, and when he heard that Lu Shu'er was injured, he also went over to take a look.
Who would have thought that this glance would be wrong.
Lu Shuer thought that Lu Li had affection for herself, and that glance was the evidence, and she was more and more able to toss from now on, and from then on, she had to talk to Lu Li about everything she wanted, which made Lu Li unguardable, and she was so irritable that she wanted to avoid her all day long.
"Madame, you'd better take care of her." Lu Li said with a distressed face, "If it goes on like this........."
"What if it goes on like this?" An Xiabai raised her eyebrows and said, "Can't you help but be tempted by her?" ”
"It's not, I think there is only one queen in my heart, I'm just afraid that if she goes on like this, I can't help but do something to her........"
Lu Shu'er's prisoner is definitely not something An Xiabai can imagine, she can force Lu Li to this role, doesn't it also show the strength of this person?
An Xiabai thought for a moment, and finally agreed to Lu Li's request.
How to rectify Lu Shu'er has become the biggest problem in front of An Xiabai.
If Lu Shu'er was easy to deal with before, after all, although she would play some tricks, but those tricks were all within the scope of An Xiabai's parry, and she could easily resolve them, but now she has changed, not only is her behavior more and more flawless, but she has not even missed the most basic expression, so that even if An Xiabai wants to find an excuse to find out her mistakes and embarrass her, she can't pick them out at all......
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
Realizing that Lu Shu'er might be privately helped by someone, An Xiabai decided to transfer Ruqing to the harem, and from then on he would be in charge of the harem.
Originally, she just wanted Ruqing to help pay attention to Lu Shu'er's usual movements, but she didn't expect Ruqing to come here, but Lu Shu'er was completely honest, before she had to go to see the emperor at every turn, and by the way, she asked the emperor about the child's situation, but now she didn't dare to go, not only that, but she didn't even dare to show her face in front of everyone, especially in front of Ruqing!
This made An Xiabai puzzled.
Obviously, she and Ruqing are both people who often walk in front of Lu Shu'er, why is Lu Shu'er afraid of Ruqing, but she doesn't have much fear of her?
When she saw Ruqing at night, she told Ruqing about it by the way.
Ruqing thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Maybe it's because I'm a rough person, Xia Bai, you think, it's because I'm a rough person and I don't care much about secular etiquette, so Lu Shu'er is afraid of me, she knows that no matter how angry you are, it will never be possible to do anything to her, and I'm different, I'm a reckless man, I really annoy me, I can directly slap her on the cheek, I guess it's because this is different, she will treat her differently, right?" ”
What Ruqing said is not unreasonable, if she was confronting Lu Shu'er when she was annoyed, she would not necessarily do anything to Lu Shu'er, but Ruqing was different........
This faint perception made An Xiabai feel a little more frustrated.
"I wish I could be like you."
Acting chic, doing whatever she wants, and not having to look ahead and backward is what An Xiabai wants, but her identity is destined to make her unable to live as wanton as Ruqing.
"Oh, what do you do so clearly?" Ruqing hugged her shoulders and said with a smile, "Isn't my hand your hand, if you want to hit someone in the future, just say it, you don't need to do it yourself, I'll help you beat it!" ”
An Xiabai smiled and shook his head: "It's not necessary to beat people, it's just a matter of this harem, and it will be troublesome in the future, you should take care of it more." ”
"Wrap it up on me."
Because Ruqing has the task of inspecting the palace, the time to come back is getting later and later, sometimes even if Shen Ya arrives home, she doesn't see that she will be at home, this feeling of emptiness makes Shen Ya's heart empty, and he always feels that he and Ruqing's home seem to be missing something.
Later, he suddenly remembered that what he lacked in his family was a child.
If Ruqing's child didn't have a miscarriage at the beginning, maybe they are already a family of three now, alas, it's really a trick........
Shen Ya was sadly recalling the past, while lying on the table and waiting, in a drowsy state, the person had already fallen asleep.
What he never expected was that this sleep would go straight to the next morning.
Ruqing didn't come back all night.
Shen Ya was already a little dissatisfied in his heart, but after this incident, he became more and more annoyed, he sat in the room until the afternoon, and Ruqing did not return home until evening.
"Hey, why are you at home?" Ruqing didn't notice that Shen Ya's mood was wrong at all, and when she saw him sitting upright, she thought he was waiting for herself, so she smiled and stepped forward to hug Shen Ya, but before her hand touched Shen Ya's clothes, the person had already avoided it.
Ruqing, who was avoided, was a little confused: "What's wrong with you?" ”
"You're too embarrassed to ask me what's wrong?" Shen Ya said with a dissatisfied face, "You didn't go home all night, and you were embarrassed to ask me questions?" ”
It turned out to be because of this.
Ruqing knew that she was wrong, and lowered her face and said, "It's not because of how much things are in the palace, you also know that Xia Bai needs my help......."
