Chapter Eighty-Seven: Don't Be Surprised

As the panicked salutifics landed, Concubine De stepped in expressionlessly, except for the jade hairpin, there was no other jewelry, and a pair of eyes that were bright before were now dim and tired, and they swept through the east room and fell to Su Ruoyun who bowed down.

Aunt Yixin, who followed behind her, looked at her equally calmly, as if she were looking at an innocuous object.

It seemed that she was too lazy to speak, Concubine De looked around again, and she didn't sit down, and said: "The emperor heard that someone was drowning in Xia Nuanju, and ordered the palace to deal with this matter, but Su Ruoyun in the east has a dispute with Chu Rulan, who should be chosen?" ”

This time, Xiaohong learned to be obedient, but she blushed and didn't make a sound.

Concubine De was ordered to come this time, I am afraid that it is in line with her own intentions, she is afraid that she has long wanted to meet this extraordinary daughter of the "special favor of the emperor" in the east, it is curiosity, jealousy, and temptation.

Ruoyun bowed goodbye without humility, lowered her head and locked her eyes firmly on Concubine De's embroidered mandarin duck shoes, and said: "Back to Niangniang, Su Ruoyun was born in a scholarly family, her father was trained to be kind to others, and Chu Rulan is me...... is Ruoyun's cousin, her closest sibling, Ruoyun has no brothers and sisters next to her, even if there is a big misunderstanding, she will not be ruthless, not to mention that Ruoyun has never met that girl, there is really no reason to harm her. And ......"

She boldly raised her head to look at Concubine De's majestic eyes, and said: "In this forbidden palace, within the high walls, the emperor is the greatest, and the mother is the head. ”

Concubine De stared at her eyes tightly, looked and looked, and the people around her did not dare to come out.

Concubine De chuckled. stretched out his hand to take her up, and said with a pleasant face: "The palace wants to come, and my sister will enter the harbour/palace in the future." It's a sensible person, and this palace just asked, and didn't suspect anything. ”

When she said this, she was relieved, and in the future, Su Ruoyun would be used for her own purposes.

Ruoyun's hand in her sleeve tightened, her face did not change, and she bowed her head again and said, "Niangniang." If Yun is a shallow learner, he only knows how to answer truthfully......"

Unexpectedly, Concubine De raised her hand to stop her from saying more. Turning his head to Yi Xin, he said: "Go, let those palace maids and eunuchs who chew the root of their tongues shut up, how can there be much to say in this forbidden palace." ”

Yixin's body moved slightly, and she nodded respectfully.

"There is filial piety in this palace. It is inconvenient to stay for a long time. Concubine De waved her sleeves as she spoke. Without waiting for Ruoyun to say goodbye, she turned around and walked out of the east room.

Xiaohong breathed a heavy sigh of relief: "Miss, I'm scared to death, it seems that this Concubine De is quite good." He looked out.

Ruoyun was solemn, and after a while, she slowly spoke: "Those palace maids and eunuchs, I'm afraid they will all be executed......"

"Huh?!" Xiaohong's face turned white, and she couldn't catch half a sentence when she grew up.

"In this deep palace, there is a slight carelessness. There are human lives everywhere......" Ruoyun suddenly felt very tired, and she was already so tired without really touching the harem. It's a real loss of confidence.

Concubine De has filial piety......

Her face changed instantly, she looked at Xiaohong with wide eyes, and almost choked: "Xiaohong, who is dead in Concubine De's family?" ”

"It's not her brother Luo Feng, I heard that he was attacked and killed in the rebellion in Yao Huashan...... No, private sacrifices are not allowed in the palace, and Concubine De is not unable to wear filial piety......" Xiaohong stuck out her tongue and shrunk her neck, as if she saw how tragic the scene was.

"So......" Ruoyun sat down in a chair, remembering the scene of life and death in the rainstorm that day.

Rong Yixuan's death is not groundless at all, but an ironclad fact?

She angrily rejected his outstretched hand that day, and Rong Yixuan shouted at her after the most embarrassing moment, "You can't go to the east", she ignored it, ignored the panic and worry in his eyes, and only saw his anger and cold-bloodedness.

Maybe from the beginning of the raid, he didn't have a complete grasp of the situation?

What about Baozhay? The last scene she saw was the figure that stopped Rong Yixuan with a smile in the pouring rain...... Bai Ze may be the same, at that time, life and death had long been put out of the way.

Her eyes stinged, and she hurriedly reached out and pressed her eye socket hard, and shook her head.

She fell into trouble again and again, and every time she was like a remnant butterfly in the hands of a different surname, her wings had been broken, and it was difficult to fly with her wings.

Cheng Qingxuan, who is as gentle as jade and indifferent to the world, firmly controls the palace with a different surname, which is equivalent to controlling most of the power of Tianyi, not to mention that most of the chess pieces in this full game belong to him.

Yes, Bai Ze on the Shangyuan Festival could easily find her, and Yao Huashan Cheng Qingxuan forcibly pulled her away, and she couldn't let go of it until now, and she couldn't stay to see the rights and wrongs of everything.

At that time, if she hadn't escaped, how good, even if she was really in danger, at least she could understand everything, how good!

I thought that he was worried about her safety so he took her away, but he didn't expect that it was just to prevent her, she was just a small step under that monstrous power.

She, nothing.

The water in this pool is bottomless, and it is cold to the bone.

Although the more she thought about it, the more terrifying it became, but his gentleness jumped out of her memory from time to time, the bamboo forest listened to the cold, the flute sounded like a dream, he whispered softly, smiled and fell into the city, like a nightmare, unable to shake off, painful to the end.

It's all fake!

Who would have thought that after she was cautious, she finally took that step and handed over that heart, and in the end it was still wrong! Wrong! Wrong!

"Miss......" Xiaohong shook her shoulders desperately, calling out as hard as she could.

Ruoyun put down her hand, her eyes narrowed, her lips moved slightly, and her face gradually became as flat as ever: "I have nothing to do......"

She gasped for breath, her sideburns were already sweaty, and she hurriedly changed the topic and said: "I want Concubine De to enter the palace for three years, but she hasn't come out, the emperor must have little favor, and she is still wearing those mandarin duck shoes, I am afraid that the queen/palace will be very lonely." Has Xiaohong ever been afraid? ”

Xiaohong breathed a sigh of relief and said strangely: "Where there is a young lady, there is Xiaohong, how can Xiaohong be afraid?" ”

Ruoyun nodded, and then there was a hint of warmth in her heart, hooked the corners of her lips, and finally couldn't smile.

It is a May day, and Chang'an Street must be extremely warm for ten miles of flowers, but I have thought that this palace with no shortage of food and clothing, and a ringing of rings is desolate and lonely.

Concubine De, but you want to regain your favor through her?

But the emperor doesn't seem to intend to give her grace in the first place.

Under the unsolicited investigation of Concubine De, the two eunuchs and palace maids who were rumored to have been poisoned were killed with a cane. Miss Chu's death finally became a case of eating a bad stomach, stumbling into a well, and sloppily closing the case.

The well where the body was found was sealed overnight, and the girl's death has never been confirmed.

For a while, everyone in the summer warm house was in danger, and the weather was hotter. In the afternoon, I don't see the ladies and girls gathering around to tell the truth.

But Xia Nuanju is not peaceful after all, although the person who should be selected needs to practice the palace rules every day is very busy, but in three days, some people take the time to report some trivial things in front of Yixin.

But no matter what happened, Aunt Yixin turned a deaf ear, saying that the inner courtyard of the palace had its own measure, and sent them away.

One day, two young ladies from similar backgrounds fought each other. was immediately disqualified and expelled from the palace.

Ruoyun never showed up, and the days came to late April in a flash.

On this day, Concubine De opened the Water Pavilion Flower Party. In addition to inviting several ladies in the palace, he also ordered a girl to be selected to have fun at the scene.

It is rare for the palace to be lively, but the most interesting thing is that the emperor will also attend.

Most of the ladies have never seen the emperor. I just hope that the emperor can directly seal the concubine at a glance. Therefore, he began to dress up carefully early in the morning, lest he would not be favored by the saint in the flowers, even if the grace was only for one day in the future, he would not hesitate to seal a concubine.

Not only the masters, but also the girls quietly dressed up, and even the scarlet flowers and autumn moon wore new clothes.

Looking at this scene of a hundred flowers, Ruoyun seemed to have returned to that winter festival, the same silk and satin. The same eyes are eager to pierce, but the emperor doesn't even glance at those princes and ladies.

Smiling in the spring breeze. The spring breeze has no intention of getting drunk.

When she was a child, she often wore brocade clothes and hung bells to play in the garden, just like in a dream, she met the amazing old prince Cheng, who was dressed in white with wide sleeves, gentle and smiling, everything was like a fantasy.

She silently clenched her clasped hands, afraid that all the bad fates started from that time, and in the future, she would have preconceived trust in someone as gentle as Cheng Qingxuan, and she didn't know it.

"Miss, are you good at wearing this?" Xiaohong unfolded a red garment with gold trim in both hands.

Ruoyun smiled faintly, but said: "It's better not to attract people's attention to enjoy the flowers today, and I didn't want to cause trouble, you go and pick the most inconspicuous clothes." ”

"Oh......" Xiaohong's joy was poured with cold water, and she pouted and reluctantly rummaged through the cabinets.

Ruoyun looked at the pile of clothes rewarded by the emperor since she came in, and there were a lot of them in the aisle, like gold, silver and jade, and looked at Xiaohong's busy back and smiled dumbly: "Xiaohong, the people in the deep palace are sinister, I don't want to go to that high position, in the future, I just need to live a peaceful life with coarse tea and light food, and I will be satisfied." ”

Xiaohong nodded: "Zhilu Dao, Miss look at this!" But as if he had not heard the meaning of her words at all, he suddenly excitedly pulled out a piece of snow satin, embroidered with lilac flowers on the cuffs, and had a moire pattern on the waistband.

She stood up like an electric shock: "This is ...... Where did you find it? ”

Xiaohong smiled mysteriously, and said secretly: "Father-in-law Chang said that Miss has some things that need to be brought to the palace in the future, and he can allow me to get them. As he spoke, he pointed to the big bag, which also included a mellow chaos harp.

"Throw these things out of the way for me." If Yun Yun is not angry, "You don't have to worry about food and clothing in the Bachelor's Mansion, when did you learn to take this ill-gotten gain?" ”

"I don't!" Unexpectedly, Xiaohong bit her lip and said, "Which Niangniang Miss, it's not all kinds of support from your mother's family, Miss, you are alone, this object is not worn and put on for them to see." ”

Ruoyun is speechless, dare to love Xiaohong to save face for herself, but since Cheng Qingxuan has no intention of her, why bother to send clothes, Rongwangfu must be in a mess, how can he still be in the mood to pay attention to her?

"Lord Rongying said that she can't play this Xuan Peiqin if she is not good at the piano, so she should be a friend with the piano, and I hope that Miss is bored in the palace, remember to find her as a companion." Xiaohong stuck out her tongue and added, not paying attention to Ruoyun at all, she only picked the most expensive item and said.

"What? Xuan Pei? "She is a flute again, this unsightly piano is actually a famous pianist in the capital, I want to find a piano back then, but Rong Ying gave her so?

Her eyes were stunned, and her heart swelled up again: "Lord Rong was killed, presumably Lord Rong Ying is extremely sad, and it is a shame that she can still remember me......"

Rong Ying was afraid that she was forced to be helpless when she was ordered by the emperor to be selected.

"Put this away." She felt tired and commanded lightly.

Xiaohong happily got busy again. (To be continued......)
