When Ruohua woke up, it was already five watches.

I saw her slowly open her eyes, but she saw candles lit around her, and the room was filled with ruddy light, which added a bit of warmth. His mind was still groggy, as if he had slept for a very long night, barely realizing what was happening.

She was about to raise her hand, but suddenly she noticed that a hand had been holding her hand. She looked in that direction, and what caught her eye was a pair of slightly rough hands, somewhat similar to those of an elderly woman, but they were not so white as the color of ordinary people, but like ......

She was stunned, then shook her head with a wry smile. I was afraid that I was thinking too much about it, and when she looked at the owner of these hands, she couldn't help but show a little surprise in her eyes - it was Concubine Cheng Liu Jia's tortoise.

Concubine Cheng should also feel her wake up, and she should wake up slowly. She was asleep on the edge of Ruohua's bed, but now she slowly straightened up and smiled at Ruohua, "Awake?" ”

"Hmm......" Ruohua only felt that the world was spinning, and he bit the tip of his tongue and barely sobered himself up a little before he completely reacted. Seeing Concubine Cheng's gentle smile at her, this made her a little embarrassed and said, "Why is Concubine Cheng here?" ”

"When the palace came out of the mourning hall, I saw that the little palace maid in your palace was in a hurry, so I came to see if I was worried, I was really tired......" Concubine Cheng smiled shallowly, and she couldn't see any emotion other than love in her eyes.

Ruohua pretended to listen carefully, but in fact, he was searching for information about this character in his mind. vaguely remembers that this seems to be a very good sister to the late queen, and it can be regarded as good to the original owner, and it is even said to be meticulous.

But it is such a woman, but it makes her a little jealous.

Ruohua gently withdrew his hand without a trace. When Concubine Cheng saw her like this, there was a trace of astonishment in her eyes, her mouth opened, and then her face was as usual.

Ruohua saw it all.

"The fourth princess doesn't have to hide from the palace, coming to the princess today is considered to have something to discuss." Concubine Cheng got up, turned around and walked out a few steps before turning back sharply, and said something like this, "The noble man and Princess Hexiao should be waiting outside." ”

"Ruohua has seen the imperial aunt." As soon as he saw Gu Lun and Princess Xiao in front of him, Ruohua couldn't help but sigh with emotion about this person's momentum, aggressive, so chilling.

If you want to be more serious, Ruohua can be regarded as Princess Gulun, but she, like the third princess, has not yet been titled. As a result, most of the people in the palace are referred to as "three princesses" and "four princesses". And the one in front of him is the most favored Princess Gulun and filial piety of Emperor Qianlong during his lifetime - Aixinjue Luo Qingyi.

"No need to be polite." Princess Hexiao examined her, and then slowly put away the momentum, and said, "This is a tired of you, your body is just right, and it has been half a month since the last time you fell off the horse, and after this toss, I really don't know if you can eat it......"

"It's okay, thank you for the Imperial Aunt." Ruohua was as good as a stream, and then turned his head and smiled at the noble letter, "I'm sorry, but I also made the noble person wait for a long time." ”

"Okay, let's not talk about these polite words, let's get down to business." Concubine Cheng took a sip of tea, "In this palace, I'm afraid it's going to change." ”

"Listen to what you talk about today, and remember it, but never pass it on." After that, Concubine Cheng straightened up, and her face slowly became heavy, which made Ruohua feel a little uneasy.

"It's an old thing, it's not that new." Princess Hexiao took over the conversation, and her eyes were dyed with a little helplessness, "Back then, Eniang of the palace once killed a palace maid, but this matter was suppressed later, and at that time, she found a reason to prevaricate and demoted the Eniang of the palace to the concubine position."

"Paper can't hold the fire, although I say so, but this matter is a secret that few people know at the moment, and no one dares to mention it. The palace maid is actually the coat of the Niu Kulu family, and she has been sent to the palace since she was a child.

"Now the two sisters of the Niu Colu clan have entered the palace as concubines, the elder sister is the most imperial concubine, the younger sister is also a nobleman, and several high-ranking and powerful people are on her side.

"Now that this beam has been concluded, Huang Ama is also ...... I don't feel at ease if I say anything, you know, their family is the most dignified. And this palace is the same as Ruohua, after all, she is a princess, and it is not good to always meddle in the affairs of the inner palace. ”

After that, Princess Hexiao sighed. No matter how she says, she is only a woman in her early twenties, and what can be a good countermeasure has always been just one step at a time.

Ruohua didn't speak, just looked at the few people in front of him with his eyes, and also fell silent.

"There have always been a lot of rights and wrongs in this harem, but in fact, it can only be done first. After a while, it will be the Lantern Festival, and it is estimated that they will only have a simple family banquet, and they should not be able to make any waves. Concubine Cheng frowned slightly, and then took another sip of tea.

"Princess, if it's convenient for you, can you go to the emperor and say a few words, and take the initiative to take the right to run this homecoming banquet to Ju Zhen?" The noble man took the words and glanced at Concubine Cheng.

In fact, these two are sisters, but the younger sister has ascended to a high position, and the elder sister is the most favored at the moment, but she has not been promoted. Ruohua couldn't help but hesitate for a while, after all, the words were unclear, and asked herself or Princess Hexiao.

"Ruohua, if the imperial aunt remembers correctly, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month ...... It's your birthday. Princess Hexiao suddenly remembered this incident, turned her head to look at Ruohua, and asked with questions in her eyes.

Ruohua originally planned to listen to it, but he was helpless to be suddenly pulled into the topic, so he had to say truthfully, "This fifteenth year coincides with Ruohua and Yi." ”

"I said how do I remember that there seems to be a master in the palace who celebrated his birthday in the first month, but I didn't realize that it was the fourth princess." The noble man smiled lightly, as if his brows were slightly stretched, "If it was Princess Gulun and Yi, it should not be sloppy, if the princess went to ask for everything to be simple, maybe she could take the lead, and it could be regarded as a sign of filial piety." ”

"Even so, we still have to be careful to guard against the imperial concubine, after all, in the eyes of the one in Changchun Palace, we are a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh. To put it mildly, after all, the three princesses have never been titled, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for the fourth princess to be titled. Concubine Cheng sighed, "Xi'er has a bad temper, she has offended a lot before, and I hope the fourth princess won't mind." ”

"No problem." Ruohua shook her head, glanced at Princess Hexiao, and lowered her head again: Third princess, it should be the one I saw before today, Concubine Cheng is not bad, but unfortunately this daughter is very arrogant.

"Don't worry, when the time comes, there shouldn't be anything wrong with going to the palace to mention a few words to the imperial brother, not to mention that the emperor and Concubine Ying should like the fourth princess." Although Princess Hexiao said this in her mouth, her expression still did not change at all.

"Princess, the hour is getting short." As soon as Princess Hexiao's words fell, a palace maid on the side reminded her softly, and Princess Hexiao realized that it was already an ugly moment.

Ruohua glanced at the palace maid and took over, "The imperial aunt, Concubine Cheng, and the noble people should go back to rest early, and they will go to Concubine Ying to say goodbye tomorrow morning." ”

Several people glanced at each other, did not say much, and went back by themselves.

After Ruohua saw a few people leave, she sat alone in the main hall and was stunned for a long time, until the palace maid came to remind her that it was time to go back to rest, and she came back to her senses. Why does she always feel a little uneasy in her heart?

Tonight, I'm afraid it's destined to be a sleepless night.
