The sedan chair stopped in front of the Ruiyu Pavilion, and a word passed that Ruoyun was wearing an embroidered snow green Luo skirt, a red silk dress, and a phoenix tail pearl hairpin with a single sideburn, and was slowly walked down by Xiaohong.

Raised his eyes and looked at the inscription plaque of the imperial pen, and swept the wall tiles lightly, Ruoyun was surprised that there was moss growing in the damaged hair.

She frowned slightly, although Jieyu is not a ninth concubine in the palace, she is also considered to be of a high grade, and Hu Shu'er, the daughter of Lord Hu, is only a Jieyu, but this Lin Jieyu's palace feels cold when she first arrives, and she looks like a decay under a closer look, and she must be an unfavored concubine.

But the emperor has not chosen after he ascended the throne, this Lin Jieyu is the side concubine when the emperor was still the prince, but it is a pity that the emperor is now pampering the new Chen Meiren, and I am afraid that Lin Jieyu's lonely days will be longer.

She is beating the drum in her heart, could it be that Lin Jieyu wants to borrow her east wind and regain her grace?

A female voice sounded, soft as the autumn leaves falling slowly: "Meet Concubine Xian Niangniang." ”

Ruoyun looked at it, a slender woman wearing a very light colored long skirt, a blouse tied with a red ribbon, and a very small number of hairpins on her head, was bowing her head to salute, and the two palace maids behind her had already knelt down and kowtowed to her.

"You are Lin Jieyu?" Ruoyun raised her hand and looked her up and down, listening to this voice was indeed somewhat familiar.

Although Lin Jieyu straightened her waist, her head was still lowered, and she said respectfully: "Concubine Xian Niangniang is here in person, I'm afraid I will be sluggish, please come in quickly." ”

Ruoyun said "um" and walked in, this Lin Jieyu greeted her in person and gave a thorough courtesy, it seems that she has been prepared.

This Ruiyu Pavilion is also elegant, and the court road goes around the front hall to the end, and the front road of the inner courtyard is full of magnolia trees. In summer, the magnolia trees fall early, and the branches are lush and cool.

After sitting down, Lin Jieyu didn't dare to sit. Still bowing his head and beckoning people to serve tea.

Ruoyun took the teacup and simply retreated, and even Xiaohong also sent Lu out, Lin Jieyu understood and hurriedly asked the palace people who were accompanying her to retreat.

Ruoyun looked around, there were no heavy gold and silver ornaments in this inner courtyard, but a few calligraphy and paintings were hung, and some objects that seemed to have not been touched for a long time were placed on the desk.

Took a sip of tea. She glanced at Lin Jieyu, who was still bowing her head, and couldn't help but pull the corners of her mouth and said, "Lin Jieyu doesn't have to be polite, please sit." My sister entered the palace earlier than me. I should be called a sister, and I might as well say it if I have something to say. ”

Ruoyun put the teacup on the table, saw Lin Jieyu's body obviously stiffened, and said with a smile: "Since my sister said that it was my old friend." Dare to ask my sister. When did you meet Ruoyun? ”

"This ......" Lin Jieyu seemed to have something unspeakable, and hesitated for a long time before answering.

Ruoyun began to suspect that this Lin Jieyu was just a close-up at all, and this kind of hesitation was not like she would do things like throwing people into the well and flowers would push her. But the concubine who didn't show up at the flower meeting seemed to be the only one Lin Jieyu, she thought so, her polite smile faded a little, and she only pursed her lips and waited for her to reply.

Unexpectedly, Lin Jieyu didn't speak again. Instead, he raised his head bowed.

I saw that her temples were flowing like silk, and her beautiful eyes were like cut autumn water. The facial features are small, the face is good, the complexion is not good, and it is slightly sickly, a little cinnabar mole at the end of the eye is particularly conspicuous, and there is a gray-black patch on the forehead that seems to be bruised, which is covered by broken hair but is still very eye-catching.

Ruoyun felt familiar at first glance, until she saw the cinnabar mole, her eyes suddenly widened, she stood up suddenly, and stretched out her hand tremblingly: "You...... Are you ......" she hesitated, staring at her face repeatedly, and finally asked, "Are you Sister Lin?" ”

No matter how you look at the person in front of you, they are exactly the same as Lin Duyan, the daughter of the forester wailang!

Lin Jieyu pulled out a smile and nodded.

"That Lin Mansion's ...... Sister Lin Duanyan?! Ruoyun was excited, confirming in a trembling voice.

"Yes, I'm Lin Duyan." Lin Jieyu nodded again, her excitement was no less than half a point of excitement, her eyes were misty, she held her hand, and she was choked up when she opened her mouth again.

Ruoyun couldn't bear it anymore, so she stepped forward and hugged her, and the speculation and doubts when she entered the door disappeared, and her smile bloomed to the extreme, almost crying with joy: "You disappeared at the beginning, and I was still married to Sister Lin, but I didn't expect ......"

can't be wrong, even if the face can be similar, the cinnabar mole and gentle state, how can others imitate it, no wonder that the day of the sacrifice to the sky, there is a figure in the concubine behind the emperor who is familiar, but I didn't expect it to be her.

At that time, Lin Mansion and Su Mansion were separated by a wall, Lin Duyan was the daughter of Lin Yuan Wailang, three years older than her, gentle and studious by nature, even speaking softly, never arguing with others.

Although the house is poor, her father sees that Lin Duyan is sensible, and he does not object to her seeing her daughter. She was her playmate when she was a child, and she was the big sister who stood up to protect her when she was mischievous. Dad has said more than once that if she can learn from Lin Duyan in the future, it will not be in vain for him to cultivate.

How did I know that after Lin Dusan and Xu, the Lin family moved away, if Yun didn't have time to send it off, the Lin Mansion had gone to the empty building, and asked her father to keep silent, and then the Su Mansion was changed, and she slowly forgot about it, how did she know that she would meet in this palace.

"Ruoyun has grown up......" Lin Duyan let go of her and whispered her name, so she didn't dare to say anything more.

"Sister Lin, what's going on? Why are you going to marry the crown prince - the saint today? Ruoyun looked at her carefully, and saw that her face was gloomy, and she felt that Lin Duyan would not be much better than her in Chu Mansion in the past few years.

Lin Duyan smiled sadly, didn't make too many moves, sat down with her, and said: "There was a time when the weather was dry in the middle of winter, and the water in the south of the city destroyed a lot of houses, and the first emperor condemned the Ministry of Works, and this part of the fault was borne by my father, a foreigner, although he was not demoted, he was fined money and reduced grain and cloth, and my family had to move to a small house......

"But even if you move away, why do you want to marry the prince? You can find my dad! Ruoyun looked at the smiling woman like this at that time, and she was very distressed.

Lin Duyan shook his head and said, "My father is guilty, and the Ministry of Engineering has nothing to do with the bachelor, if the intercession involves the Su Mansion, won't the gains outweigh the losses?" ”

"So you're going to marry the crown prince?!" If the eyebrows are twisted together, you have to ask to understand, this forester has always been honest, in the Ministry of Labor, fat but, dignified staff Wailang, often wear those few clothes, the rest of the money likes to buy some calligraphy and paintings, and there is no extravagance.

Lin Duyan looked away, tilted his head to look at the calligraphy and paintings above the case, and said: "My father asked someone to buy a dowry for me before, so that he would have to sell the collected calligraphy and paintings to make a living. I guess that's fine...... Therefore, I entered the Prince's Mansion with Mo Zhaoyi. ”

"Mo Zhaoyi?" Ruoyun heard her mention it, and finally remembered this person.

Xiaohong once said that she was the emperor's favorite person, and she also saw her go to the Water Pavilion Flower Club last time, how did she know that Lin Duyan entered the palace and the palace with her, one was the head of the nine concubines and was favored, and the other was miserable and lonely.

As if reading her thoughts, Lin Duyan slowly shook his head and said: "Mo Zhaoyi's father is Yu Shicheng, my father is just a foreigner, I can be a Jieyu to spend this body in peace, and I can occasionally go out of the palace to see my parents, which is already satisfied." ”

"Satisfied?" Ruoyun was actually a little angry, she herself may have no attachment, but she couldn't bear to see Lin Duyan like this, "I heard that Hu Jieyu is a newcomer, and that pomp is comparable to the nine concubines, Sister Lin is such a gentle and talented person, she has ended up in such a field, is she satisfied?" does not seek glory and wealth, and is not declining, Sister Lin has followed the emperor for so many years, at least she should live a comfortable and comfortable life. ”

Lin Duyan smiled when he heard this, his eyes were tired, and he said: "I entered the mansion, the prince of the year and the saint of today also loved me, and it is ......enough to have a beautiful dream."

Ruoyun listened to her, and she didn't have the slightest intention of competing for favor, and couldn't help but blame: "Sister Lin, you want to see me, just to catch up?" Never thought about Mu Enlu again? ”

Unexpectedly, Lin Duyan just shook her head and said with a smile: "You are now a virtuous concubine, and you are already at the same level as Concubine De in the palace, you are in a more dangerous situation than me, don't want to do anything else, and ......" She hesitated again and again, and finally reached out to pick up the broken hair on her forehead, and the blue-gray marks looked hideous for a moment, making her look a lot uglier at the moment.

"It's ...... Scars? Ruoyun took a closer look, Sister Lin had never had such a birthmark before.

Lin Duyan nodded, put down her broken hair, and sighed, "Even if I want to be favored, it is impossible for me to be like this." In this life, Twilight no longer thinks about him. ”

Ruoyun bit her lip, stared at her lonely face, and lamented: "Sister Lin, how did this scar come from?" ”

"I made it myself." Lin Duyan's eyes flashed with a trace of pain, but he still confessed to her, "When the emperor was the crown prince, he often favored me, and Mo Xiaochen was also favored, she was pregnant in the second year of entering the palace, but she slipped because she was too careful and ate very little. At that time, Concubine De Luo Yiran felt that there was something strange about this matter, and at that time, the prince had not returned from prison for a few days, and she, as a good di, thoroughly investigated in the mansion. I was interrogated by her because I was young at the time, and she suspected that I had done it, and I felt humiliated......"

"So you're killing yourself?" Ruoyun interrupted her, it was really painful and angry.

Lin Duyan's face was dark, he nodded, and said: "When the prince returned to the house, he was very sad to know about Mo Xiaochen, and when he heard that I almost died like this, he got angry, saying that if I don't spare my life, how can I spare people, and from then on he no longer paid attention to me, but he was even more kind to Mo Xiaochen...... This is also my own fault, and I can't blame others. ”

Ruoyun was shocked, Rong Jinhuan, who had always been cunning and far-sighted in the eyes of the king with a different surname, would be angry because Lin Duyan committed suicide and didn't spare his life? You must know that Lu Dao, Yu Baize marched in a hurry, and Cheng Qingxuan took her back to Beijing, which prevented the emperor from visiting overnight and suppressing the royal family with a different surname, so that the person in such a temperament is not at all like the emperor who grabbed her yesterday and sneered at her.

"Wait, you mean that Concubine De suspects that Mo Zhaoyi's child didn't have a natural slippery tire?" Ruoyun remembered something and suddenly asked.

Lin Duyan's expression became solemn, and he nodded again: "I'm so unfavorable, and I can't be implicated in everything, but ...... You entered the palace and were named a virtuous concubine by the emperor, so if Mo Xiaochen's child really didn't fall naturally, I am afraid that you will be harmed......"

Ruoyun's heart sank, and she sneered: "It's too late, I'm afraid I'll be targeted early." (To be continued......)
