Chapter 114 Harboring evil intentions
After waiting for a long time, the maid beside Wei Yuan'er came back, but she didn't bring the news she wanted, except for hearing that Zhou Ruoshui was in the East Palace at this time, she didn't hear half a minute. She didn't expect that a little dancing girl would have such a loyal and confidential person by her side.
Even so, Wei Yuan'er didn't stop thinking, she casually found an excuse to leave the table, and took the palace people and eunuchs back to the East Palace Prince's Mansion with a fierce attitude.
……
Just got married and was forced to part, and the lovesickness that lasted for more than a month was already difficult.
When the palace saw it in a hurry, he couldn't suppress his heartfelt thoughts with him. When she returned to the East Palace Prince's Mansion to change into the dance clothes, Zhou Ruoshui stood at the gate of the palace and waited for her lover, but what she was looking forward to was not her husband, but Wei Yuan'er, who came to find fault.
"Liangdi Niangniang has arrived." A scream came, and the first person to come in was Wei Yuan'er, who had an ominous face and a menacing face, followed by a group of palace people around her.
At first glance, it was not good for Zhou Ruoshui, Su Yuzhu and Tang Yilan, the heads of the four female guards, were at the forefront, Su Yuzhu crossed the sword in his hand, and asked in a cold tone: "Who is coming." ”
The chief eunuch glared at him and said, "Prince Liangdi is here, why don't you kneel down quickly and take over!" ”
Gu Shuangyun, who was serving the tea, glanced at him, pulled Zhou Ruoshui away from this dangerous zone, and after putting down the teacup, he struck back unhurriedly: "Who should I be?" It turned out to be just a little Liangdi, ask us who our master is before saying cruel things, if something happens after a while, don't blame us for not reminding you!"
The chief eunuch raised his finger and pointed at Gu Shuangyun and scolded angrily: "You are so bold that you dare to be rude to our mother, you really ate the gall of a leopard, come and slap your mouth, teach this girl who doesn't know the rules a lesson!"
"Yes," several people took the order, and stepped forward.
"Wait." Zhou Ruoshui got up to stop it, stepped forward and saluted slightly: "The Zhou family has seen Niangniang, they are free and comfortable people in the rivers and lakes, if the words collide, please also invite a lot of Niangniang." ”
Wei Yuan'er glanced at Zhou Ruoshui, looked her up and down, and said straight with a cold look in her eyes: "What a fox face!" Do you think you can keep your heart by relying on this face? The crown prince has just been promoted, and there is no one around him, including the concubine. Other concubines have not yet been able to get this favor, and you have a little dancer who also comes to intervene, and you don't weigh your own catties! ”
The meaning of this sentence could not be clearer, the East Palace is not something you can enter if you want to, and you should retreat from the difficulties if you have a sinister heart.
Zhou Ruoshui also made it clear at this time that she was here to take the lead. Zhou Ruoshui did not reveal his identity, and still asked with a gentle smile: "It is the two mothers who have to be named Liangdi, may I ask if you are Liangdi Wei's or Mei's?" ”
"I know this, it seems that a lot of work has been done. Hmph" Saying that, Wei Yuan'er squinted at her, raised her hand to greet a palace maid, pointed to a few ingots of gold in the tray held by the palace maid, and said straight to the point: "The East Palace is not a place to stay for a long time, there are five hundred taels of gold here enough for you to live in the future, I will reward you with a celebration dance, you take it and leave the palace quickly!" ”
……
After Lu Jue quickly dealt with the affairs of the previous dynasty, he couldn't wait to rush back to the palace, and before he entered the door of his dormitory, he heard the conversation between the two. With a move in his mind, he quickly stopped Zhu Feifei, who was about to break in, and stopped at the door to listen carefully to the movements of this Wei Yuan'er, or Wei Shi!
A hundred taels of gold is worth a thousand taels of silver, a huge amount of money that these small people in the market have seen, Wei Yuan'er thinks that a little dancer will definitely be moved.
But she was wrong, she didn't see Zhou Ruoshui have a trace of heartbeat, I saw her gently raise her hand from the dark clouds, take off a hairpin and put it in the tray, and replied softly: "Niangniang knows how much my jasper gold hairpin is worth, don't hide it from Niangniang, gold, silver, jewelry Zhou has also seen a lot, these ingots of gold are not put into the eyes, this jasper golden hairpin is given to Niangniang, how about a chance for me?" ”
Wei Yuan'er glared at this person who didn't know how to lift, and said angrily: "I kindly advise you, don't be ignorant of lifting, even if you can win the prince's affection, I'm afraid this East Palace won't be able to accommodate you as a little dancer!" ”
Zhou Ruoshui smiled and said: "If you can tolerate it, if you can't tolerate it, then it depends on my ability." ”
Wei Yuan'er smiled and looked at Zhou Ruoshui with contempt: "It's so unashamed!" It's better to be a man or know how to advance and retreat, and no one can be spoiled for a lifetime. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince keeps saying that he wants to defend the crown princess, so what! No, he ended up in a different place. You are a little dancing girl, and when it comes to the day you fall out of favor, I am afraid that it will be even better. ”
What does this mean Lu Jue understands in his heart, Zhou Ruoshui is long in the deep boudoir and doesn't know the sinister harem, how can he compare to this person who is used to blackmailing me, in order to avoid Zhou Ruoshui from suffering a loss, he coughed lightly and raised his voice: "Three stinkers are enemies of one Zhuge Liang, I am conceited and smart, I didn't expect to be fooled by you today." When the door of the hall was pushed open, he stepped in and deliberately pretended not to know that Wei Yuan'er was there, and reprimanded softly: "Okay, you are a waterman, I didn't expect you to hide me so tightly, you ......" Seeing Wei Yuan'er pretending to be surprised for a moment, he then lowered his face and said: "Aren't you uncomfortable?" Why don't you go back to your room and rest, and run to my main temple without being summoned? ”
Lu Jue's sudden appearance frightened Wei Yuan'er a little unprepared, and the original plan couldn't go on. Some of them stood there at a loss, not knowing how to respond.
Turning his head and seeing everyone leaning over to salute, he realized that he had never seen the driver, and hurriedly saluted: "Concubine Wei, see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"Get up." Lu Jue waved his hand with a displeased face and motioned for everyone to get up. didn't even give her a straight eye, so he walked directly towards Zhou Ruoshui, and when he passed the palace maid who was carrying the tray, he retrieved the hairpin with his hand, and walked over while putting on the hairpin for her, while complaining softly: "I don't know the price of tea and rice, you have caused me to suffer from lovesickness for more than a month, and you also give the things I carefully selected to others, I really don't know whether you should say that you have no conscience!" With that, he raised his hand and touched the tip of her nose and gently took her into his arms.
Zhou Ruoshui responded to him with a sweet smile, looked at Wei Yuan'er and replied softly: "We are all your concubines, and we will live together in the palace in the future, Liangdi Niangniang just gave me a hundred taels of gold, and I should also send it back." But I have nothing else but to give away what I wear. Raising his wrist to reveal the crystal bracelet, he continued: "I am very reluctant to give away this crystal bracelet, so I can only give it away." ”
Lu Jue gently held the slender jade wrist, couldn't put it down, the corners of his eyes and mouth were full of love, and he reprimanded dotingly: "You still have a conscience." ”
The appearance of the two also made Wei Yuan'er see the signs, and she also questioned Zhou Ruoshui's identity, and asked: "Dare to ask Your Highness, who is this dancer?" ”
Zhu Feifei stepped forward and sneered and said: "Who is it, you listen well, she calls me sister-in-law, I call her second sister, we all know that Uncle Zhongyong has a son and two daughters, and the prince's wife is the second daughter of Uncle Zhongyong, the lord of Roujia who the emperor entitles her, who do you say she is!" ”
As soon as Zhu Feifei's words fell, Yang Wei greeted everyone in the house, and led the kneeling to the ground and shouted: "The slave congratulates the princess on returning to the court, and the mother is blessed." ”
Zhou Ruoshui, she turned out to be really Zhou Ruoshui, I didn't expect this woman to really have a big life, and Narrow Valley and his party were not buried, but now Wei Yuan'er can only swallow that evil breath back.
Because even if she Wei Yuan'er doesn't take the crown princess in her eyes, she can't lose her manners in front of Lu Jue, making him think that he doesn't understand etiquette, so it's even more useless for him to want to be favored, so he has no choice but to salute according to the rules: "Concubine Wei's Kite has seen the crown princess." ”
Everyone knelt on the ground and shouted in unison for such a big formation, Zhou Ruoshui seemed a little overwhelmed, and naturally turned his head to ask Lu Jue, the two of them had a good heart, just this glance, he immediately understood, raised his hand and waved: "Get up, the princess is very happy, reward each of you fifty taels, and go down to find Poria to receive the reward in a while!" ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone shouted again.
Lu Jue's trick Wei Yuan'er saw it clearly, and her heart was like a mirror, but she didn't say it. Although she was not happy in her heart, she still tried her best to pretend to be knowledgeable, and said apologetically: "Just now, the concubine was ignorant, I didn't know the identity of the mother, and I looked at the mother Haihan if she was disrespectful." "It's another courtesy, it's hard to find faults.
Zhou Ruoshui stepped forward to help her up, and said kindly: "How can it, my sister has lived in the palace for a long time, and I know the rules inside, although I am fortunate to be the crown princess, after all, I am still young and shallow, and I hope that my sister will give me advice if I don't understand it in the future." ”
The soft knife kills people so that you don't see blood but feel uncomfortable, Zhou Ruoshui's words make it difficult for Wei Yuan'er to ride a tiger, and if she is not careful, she is arrogant, and the expression on her face is also quite uncomfortable, looking at Lu Jue who is standing aside and staying out of the matter, not to mention how uncomfortable it is in her heart, she smiled reluctantly: "Niangniang's words are serious, Niangniang is the crown prince's concubine, and the future Zhenggong Niangniang, assisting Niangniang is a concubine and dare not be arrogant." The longer she stayed, the more uncomfortable she became, so she took the initiative to resign: "The concubine was unwell during the celebration, and she was even more dizzy at this time. ”
"Then you can rest and take care of your body as soon as possible, so that you can continue to have children for the royal family." After speaking, Zhou Ruoshui still looked back at Lu Jue gently.
And Lu Jue, who heard this sentence, was full of awkwardness, his face changed a few times, he raised his eyebrows, took a few steps forward a little uncomfortably, pulled the person into his arms, let her distance herself from Wei Yuan'er, sank her face, looked at the eunuchs and palace maids who came with Wei Yuan'er, and reprimanded: "As a slave, your master is sick, and it is not good to serve and admonish, but you let your master's temperament come out late at night to blow the wind, the prince Liangdi's status is the most expensive, if there is an accident, you can afford to be guilty." This time, I don't let the principal take notes. Twenty smears each of yourselves in the mouth as punishment. ”
As soon as he said this, those subordinates who followed Wei Yuan'er were all so frightened that their faces changed, and they all knelt down and begged for mercy!
Wei Yuan'er could not suppress the anger in her heart, clenched her fists, and gritted her silver teeth slightly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, they are all rewards and 、、、、、、 from the queen's mother."
"Then thirty each." Lu Jue's ruthless words dispelled all her thoughts.
Zhu Feifei's mind is so lively! immediately understood what Lu Jue meant, but he was worried that his excessive actions would cause trouble to Zhou Ruoshui, so he deliberately stepped forward to intercede, but before she could speak.
Zhou Ruoshui took the first step to plead: "Whether it's right or wrong, it's your own business, if so, you punished them for such a trivial matter today, and if it spreads, it should make the people laugh and talk about the royal family, even if the servants and subordinates can't discipline it, even if they can't discipline it, it will be rumored that you, the prince, have a narrow heart!" They are trained by the old palace people in the palace etiquette workshop, how can they not know the depth, you just read that they are first-time offenders, just teach two sentences. ”
Lu Jue looked at her eyes, smiled tenderly, tightened the hand around her waist, raised a hand, nodded the tip of her nose and said: "What the lady said is very true, for the husband and you!" ”
Yang Wei seized the opportunity, pointed to the palace people kneeling on the ground, and scolded: "You guys who don't understand the rules, and let the masters worry about you, don't hurry up and thank the princess." ”
"Thank you, Princess, Niangniang......" Everyone was busy kneeling down to thank him.
Listening to the thanks of her subordinates, Wei Yuan'er felt bad in her heart, and she was even more resentful, so she hurriedly saluted and left with her subordinates.
But she did not return to her residence in the Imperial Palace, but entered the palace and went to the Fengqi Palace of Empress Wei.
She gave the grievances she had just suffered to Empress Wei, and slapped the table angrily and said: "I really didn't expect that Zhou's life was so big, and such a high cliff didn't kill her, you must know that you shouldn't show mercy to your subordinates!" After speaking viciously, those beautiful eyes were full of murderous intent and did not retreat for a long time.
Seeing her gaze made Empress Wei shudder, and she also realized who did the black cauldron she was inexplicably behind! She couldn't have imagined that her niece, who had always been gentle and lovely, would be so ruthless. Got up and stared at her in amazement and asked, "You sent someone to harm the Zhou family?" ”
Wei Yuan'er, who had recalled, realized that she had lost her words, and immediately regained her gentle appearance, got up and wrapped her arms around Wei Hou's crook and said, "Auntie, the reason why I did this is because I don't want the Zhou family to spoil our big things. But who knew that the Zhou family was so fateful that he would come back unharmed. Auntie, now is not the time to get angry, but to find a way to get rid of this thorn in the eye! With that, he raised the corner of his eyes and looked at Empress Wei.
"Hmph, where did you get the free time in this palace, you are angry with these idleness!" Empress Wei pushed her hand away, and asked with a meaningful smile: "You are so angry, you should know that that dancer is Zhou?" ”
Wei Yuan'er was startled and asked, "How did my aunt know?" ”
Everyone watched, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not shy away from looking at her with such eyes, and the official had already guessed a few points at that time. I wanted to admonish you, but I didn't expect you to be so impatient to provoke her. After speaking, he looked up at her and looked at her unteachably.
Wei Yuan'er stepped forward and grabbed the corner of Wei's sleeve and shook it gently, and said sourly: "Auntie, what do you say I should do!" Although Kite is in a good position, she doesn't even have the opportunity to sleep, isn't this discrediting her aunt! She thought that if she was so pitiful, Empress Wei would make an idea for her, but she didn't expect to get an eviction order.
"Okay, it's not early, you go back and rest! You are already a prince, remember to abide by your duty. Don't be like your uncle, with a delusional heart! After saying that, Wei Hou leaned on the side of the bed, closed his eyes, raised his hand, and waved, signaling for Mama to send Wei Yuan'er out.
Failed to achieve what she wanted, where was Wei Yuan'er willing, but before she could speak, she was stopped by Mama Cao, who was beside Empress Dowager Wei, and persuaded: "Liangdi Niangniang should go back and rest first, the queen mother has been tired for a day, let's talk about it tomorrow!" ”
Then the aunt and nephew are even more monarchs and ministers, and they have not yet received the mercy of the prince, and the foundation is not stable, and they have to honor her, so they have to obey at this time, and they salute sideways: "The kite retires." After glancing at Wei Hou, who closed his eyes and recuperated again, he thought for a moment before turning away unwillingly. Out of the temple gate, she looked back at the closed temple door angrily, and whispered a few words in the ear of a little palace maid, and she only left after the palace maid left.
After she left, Empress Wei opened her eyes, looking at the closed palace door and feeling a hundred tastes in her heart, it is really difficult to find true love in this harem! Even relatives are just using each other. Women are tools to be used, as long as they step into this palace, they will be involuntarily, and they will have to attack their scheming all their lives! At this time, even if you don't want to fight, you won't be able to do it, and for the honor of the family, no matter what, you have to do everything you can at this time.
