"Miss, would you like another cup of tea?" Xiaohong pushed the warm teacup towards her and looked worriedly.

"No, it's not very bitter." Ruoyun lazily leaned on the rattan couch in the courtyard, glanced at the medicine bowl that was empty by herself, raised her hand against her eyebrows, and thought that the medicine prepared by Huai Xuanmo was to adjust the bitterness to death, and she really didn't put a single star of licorice, if it wasn't for the prescription that replaced the evil sect, she would never take the medicine so obediently.

She sighed slightly when she thought about it, and Chong Xiaohong pulled out a smile: "You are now the general's wife, so you don't have to do such things." ”

"No one else is watching." Xiaohong pouted dissatisfiedly, and said, "You have to call your sister carefully, but fortunately, no one else has heard and seen this Chaolu Palace." ”

"Look at your appearance, which is a ...... of a wife" Ruoyun smiled helplessly, stretched out her hand to straighten the jade hairpin between her hair, and said seriously, "If Zhang Yu is not sealed at the same time as you, this lady's position must have hot eyes, you should be careful in the future." Be careful with your words and deeds, and it's good anywhere. ”

"Yes, yes." Xiaohong hurriedly agreed, hurriedly took her indigo-shaded coat and said, "It's a little cold this day, Miss, why should you be careful, if I am not by your side in the future, you have to take care of yourself." As he spoke, he looked at her thin appearance despite being well-dressed, and worried about her in his heart.

"That's nature." Ruoyun obediently put on her coat, raised her eyes and saw that the maple leaves in the courtyard were almost all burned red, thinking that she had to spend the past few months to return intact, so as not to worry about that person.

Just thinking about it. There was the sound of objects falling to the ground in the inner room, and then a palace maid ran nervously and apologized to her: "Niang Niang forgive your sins." Someone clumsily knocked out a few books and was already cleaning up. ”

"Got it." Xiaohong nodded at her, then turned her head to look at Ruoyun who was stunned on the rattan couch, and asked puzzledly, "Miss has always been unconcerned about the objects of this Chaolu Palace, why did she think of ordering someone to clean up today, and what she cleaned up was still clothes?" ”

"Find something." Ruoyun answered bluntly. Slightly tilted his head to look at the book envelopes scattered in the inner room, and said softly, "Find something useful." ”

Xiaohong nodded subconsciously half-understandingly: "Fortunately, it was ordered by the emperor at that time." Otherwise, I don't know how much it will be carried away. When I first came, the building was empty, and the furnishings were not missing, but they were dusty. ”

Xiaohong described what she saw, and suddenly several people carried the coral tree. I couldn't help but wonder: "Why did you bring this out?" In case of a fall. How to explain to Yu Wangye? ”

"No matter how valuable the thing given by the Protector Marquis is, it is just a thing." Ruoyun slowly stood up, arrived in front of the coral tree, carefully checked whether there was any damage, and saw that it was full of hanging on it, as if it was not missing, so she reached out and tore off a gold chain, turned her head and said to Xiaohong, "Come on." Help me take it off. ”

Xiaohong was completely stunned, seeing that her hands and feet were neat without hesitation. He also carefully helped her remove the hanging treasure and expose the red and shiny coral bottom.

After the pearls and jade on the red coral had faded away, Ruoyun roughly counted the number of treasures in the tray, and only ordered Xiaohong to put away a few of them, and then raised his voice and ordered: "The rest will be put in the box for me, and then someone will carry the box and go with me." What is this coral......" She looked the extravagant thing up and down, sighed and shook her head, "Go to the front hall, and let the people who come to my palace know something." ”

"Wait! Sister, these are all gifts from Lord Yu to you! Xiaohong grabbed those few things that she picked out, and stopped in front of the palace people, and pointed at those pearls and jades, and reminded Ruoyun clearly, "This one is worth a lot of money, who are you going to give so much to?" ”

"The gift is not fake, but Bai Ze has changed his way to give me money. It just so happens that I don't bother to change it to cash, so I will use it just like that, and I won't need it if I have more. Ruoyun said, straightening her coat and smiling at her, "Why don't you go and put these away?" I'm going to go out now. ”

"Huh? You wait for me! Xiaohong looked at the things in her hands, and after a pause, she trotted away.

Ruoyun gradually smiled, slowly walked into the inner room, let the palace people who came forward to retie her clothes and belts, and looked at the woman with her eyebrows flowing and her red lips in the bronze mirror she was holding, as if the square inch of face she saw was the "Concubine Su Xian", and all the confusion was already shattered between the red makeup.

The coral tree was moved to the front hall, and the box containing jade jewelry was carried to the front hall of the gold painting hall, the opening of the box was dazzling, the upper two compartments were opened, and the lower layer was a variety of pearls and jade, moist and clear, so frightened that Ding Yifang led the palace people of the gold painting hall to kneel in the hall.

Ruoyun glanced at the slight sweat on her temples, and then looked at her Although she was left out, she was still wearing gold and silver, dressed decently, lifted the lid of the bowl and picked the edge of the teacup, feeling that the autumn air was crisp and clear, and her whole body was comfortable, and she smiled softly and said to everyone: "Ding Baolin stays, and the rest goes down." ”

Ding Yifang didn't know why, she lowered her head and stared at the ground, only to feel that the people around her had retreated, so she spoke up: "I don't know where I offended Concubine Xian, Niangniang came to me only three days after returning to the palace?" She said, slowly raised her head, and looked at the former maidservant, today's general's wife, Su Xiaohong, who was also sitting on the side, and couldn't help but say sourly, "I still bother the general's wife to come with me, it seems that I am not guilty of a small crime." ”

"Presumptuous." Xiaohong glared at her, then turned to Ruoyun and whispered, "Sister, this person is really ugly to hear." ”

"This palace loves Ding Baolin's straightforwardness." Ruoyun raised her hand and ordered her to get up, and suddenly said, "Since Ding Baolin is so temperamental, I won't beat around the corner, so I'll get straight to the point." As the daughter of a wealthy man, Ding Baolin's status in the palace is not as good as in the palace before, and he doesn't know if money can't buy it, is Ding Baolin interested? ”

"I still thank Concubine Xian, since I entered the palace for my father and brother's business outlets, I didn't think about how I could really soar. My gold depiction hall is also deserted enough, and I don't care how cold it is for a few days. Although Ding Yifang stood and spoke, she did not retreat at all, and her tone was a little impatient, but she did not fully express it.

Ruoyun glanced at the arrogance she was hiding, and couldn't help but wonder: "It seems that Ding Baolin is really whimsical, and he doesn't know the context of the palace, otherwise when it comes to the dignity of the palace concubine, it is naturally a high position that will help her mother's family more." As she spoke, she lowered her head and drank her tea.

"What a reasonable person I am when I am a virtuous concubine, I mistakenly thought that you had a good heart at that time in the imperial dining room, and I didn't fall into the well when Concubine De Niangniang wronged you, but I didn't expect to be so aggressive here." Ding Yifang did not deny it, but she was directly angry, turned her back and directly issued an eviction order, "Concubine Xian Niangniang still brings something back, I can't tolerate your big Buddha in the Jinguan Temple." If you want me to do something, I guess I can't do it. ”

"You ......" Xiaohong couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and was about to make a difficulty.

"Ding Baolin is so straightforward, listening to Ding Shufang's words, he thinks that this palace is guilty, so am I not wronged?" Ruoyun was not annoyed, she shook her head at Xiaohong, pointed at her lips and said in silence, and continued, "It's a pity that this palace's private affairs with Ding Baolin are as uninterested as you are with this palace's private affairs. You can't leave the palace after serving the emperor now, and if you are buried here, you will become a useless person at most. I heard that the Ding family is unable to make ends meet, and now it is in danger but helpless, I wonder if I am interested in trading with the richest man in the whole day - the old man surnamed An? ”

"Huh?" Ding Yifang's eyes widened instantly, turned to stare at her indifferent face, and said in disbelief, "What you said is true?" Mr. An has never shared his business experience with others, isn't he lying to me? ”

"Naturally, it's true, Master An is a close friend of his brother-in-law, and most of his industry is due to the help of the prince. This palace brought these jewels to show sincerity, and after the matter is completed, it will match your Ding family. Ruoyun said, pointing to the open box and said, "I want these useless, and I won't bring them if I feel distressed, you just need to do something for me." To tell you the truth, these things are all obtained from the palace with a different surname, and if you ask someone to sell them, it will be enough to buy most of the Ding family's property. Even if this palace deceives you, you don't lose. ”

"This is the real thing......" Ding Yifang saw at a glance that the goods were genuine, although she was still on guard, but in the end, she was moved, and her eyes couldn't stop looking into the box, but because of the fear of the palace people that the palace people would use up such methods, this was a rain from heaven, and she became more and more suspicious and did not dare to agree directly.

"One thing is enough, it is not harmful, it is not for money, and it will not have any impact on you. On the contrary, it can wash away grievances for others, that's all. If you weren't in a hurry right now, this palace wouldn't have come to you, and you'd put on priceless jewelry. Ruoyun said slowly, her eyes sincere.

"What?" Ding Yifang saw her unabashedly say what she was worried about, and her heart relaxed.

"It's inconvenient for Concubine Xian to go out of the palace and walk around, and you don't have to bother the big people to check on the trivial things in the capital, how can others do this kind of thing but match the Ding family's connections in Beijing." Xiaohong took the mouth and grinned at her, "I happened to be going out of the palace to find someone and do something, why don't Ding Baolin repair a book, and I will tell you on my behalf?" ”

"What do you want to know?" Ding Yifang asked the purpose directly, and saw that Ruoyun was calm and calm, and it didn't seem like she had another purpose, and Concubine Su Xian had always been virtuous, if she changed Concubine De, she would never dare to take this matter.

"Simple, search the capital all over the capital to see if anyone knows the origin of the blood begonia, and whether there are any traces of correspondence in the past six months." Ruoyun saw her directly, so she also said truthfully, "That blood begonia is a poison in the Western Regions, there must be relevant people in and out, and it is inconvenient to show their identities clearly, the Ding family naturally has a way, right?" ”

"The medicine that hurt you?" Although Ding Yifang asked, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

"Exactly, I'm just trying to know who harmed me, not for any other purpose." Ruoyun promised again and again, rolled up her sleeves and smiled, "Solve your Ding family's urgent need, I can learn the truth again, Ding Baolin can think about it carefully before answering." (To be continued......)
