"I don't really want to hear much of that." His voice was low, his fingertips wrapped around her hair, and he slowly approached, "Although you are thoughtful, I would prefer you to compete for favor once in a while." ”

He said, leaning over to look at her.

The four eyes were facing each other, the tip of the nose was very close, the fragrance of ambergris diffused, Ruoyun froze, looking at his dark and slightly amber pupils, he didn't dare to move.

"Your Majesty, it's a pity that the concubines are not interested in this." She pulled out a flattering smile and clenched her hands behind her back.

Rong Jinhuan's expression was slightly sluggish, and he hadn't spoken yet, only to hear someone approaching outside the door and deliberately stepping on some sounds, and then coughed.

"What?" Rong Jinhuan's gaze passed over her and saw Chang De standing respectfully outside the door.

Changde heard the emperor call him, so he came in and said: "Your Majesty, Zhaoyi Niangniang sent someone to pass it on, saying that the dresses of the superintendent have been completed, and the emperor will go to Luoxiaju to take a look when he is free, where to change it needs to be rushed." ”

After hearing this, Rong Jinhuan had to sigh, straighten up and say, "It's hard work, I'll go in a while." ”

"Yes." Chang De hurriedly responded, lowered his head and retreated.

As soon as Rong Jinhuan turned around, Ruoyun seemed to be a few steps away from him, looking at his front respectfully and detachedly, and couldn't help but show helplessness, and sighed: "You are afraid of me like a tiger, do you really remember my hatred?" ”

Ruoyun was silent for a moment, and only replied peacefully: "Your Majesty, since the ancient palace, I have never heard the newcomers laughing, how can I hear the old people crying, I know the emperor, I love the emperor, and I can share the emperor's worries and solve problems, and I am not the only one who can serve the emperor, and the concubine is just a little woman who lives in a corner of peace." Emperor He Lao was worried. ”

She was noncommittal, peaceful, and looked at Rong Jinhuan coldly.

Rong Jinhuan's complexion had changed, and his patience had almost turned into irritability. Look at her eyes are also cold: "Hmph, it is up to me to decide who I choose to serve, and you are like this, it is inevitable that your refusal is too obvious." ”

"The Emperor...... The emperor is blessed ......" A crisp voice came, and Xiaohong came in with a plate, and the bowl in the plate was steaming.

Ruoyun was startled. He looked at her with a puzzled look.

Xiaohong saw that Rong Jinhuan's face was not good, swallowed her saliva, and said, "The slave doesn't know that the emperor has been here for a long time. When I saw the hour, I brought the mother's medicine without authorization, and the emperor forgave the sin. ”

"Medicine?" Rong Jinhuan had a look of surprise on his face and looked at the medicine bowl. He turned his head to look at Ruoyun again. couldn't help but wonder, "Isn't Concubine Xian's body still healed?" ”

Ruoyun glanced at Xiaohong, who was bowing her head, and Xiaohong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Niangniang's body is clammy and cold, and she often has chest tightness and stagnation in the summer, so she was prescribed medicine, and she has been taking it for a few days." ”

Rong Jinhuan frowned, and his tone suddenly softened: "Concubine Xian's health is not good. Just rest more, Yixuan's wedding is imminent. Concubine Xian wants to go with me. ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward, gently lifted her shoulder as if comforting, and then pulled out the seal and stuffed it into her hand.

She remembered that the emperor had previously agreed to the marriage of Rong Yixuan and Hu Yuer, and looked down at the booklet in her hand, covered with red satin, bronzing small letters, and the eagle in the corner was still soaring.

Before she could open it, she saw Rong Jinhuan walking out of the hall in a happy manner.

Ruoyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he walked away and was accompanied by Changde out of the Chaolu Palace Gate, he turned to Xiaohong and said, "What medicine?" How do I not know the way? ”

"Niangniang, do you want to drink?" Xiaohong hurriedly handed over the tray.

Ruoyun jumped back in horror and sat down on the stool, the steaming brown liquid already reaching the tip of her nose.

"Xiao ...... Xiaohong! What the hell is this? Ruoyun looked frightened, sniffed but there was no smell of medicine, suspiciously dipped her fingers and pointed them on the tip of her tongue, and a sip was sweet.

"It's brown sugar water." Xiaohong stuck out her tongue and smiled, and winked at her, "The emperor stayed for a long time today, and I saw that Father-in-law Chang went to call the emperor, but the emperor still didn't leave, so I thought about relieving you." ”

Ruoyun breathed a sigh of relief, but remembered something, and hurriedly said: "You said that someone opened a prescription, deceiving the emperor like this, if he finds out, ......"

Seeing her make a head-killing move, Xiaohong was dissatisfied and angry, and said, "Oh, Miss, I didn't say that it was prescribed by the imperial doctor, not to mention that this brown sugar water is indeed a blood-invigorating earthwork." ”

Ruoyun laughed out loud, and said busily: "Ghost girl, you are excited, be careful of self-defeating one day." ”

Xiaohong shrunk her neck, and Ruoyun stroked the booklet in her hand, thoughtful.

"Miss, Lord Rong is going to get married, are you going or not?" Xiaohong poked her head over and asked.

Ruoyun smiled to herself and said to her: "Of course I go, not to mention that the emperor has ordered me, several kings with different surnames will be present at this royal wedding ceremony, and it is good to take the opportunity to meet." ”

Who knows, Xiaohong sighed when she heard it, and whispered: "It's a pity that Prince Cheng is far away in Jiangnan and can't go to ......."

Ruoyun was told by her, and her heart was dull and painful, and at this moment, looking at the red folded satin, she felt very dazzling.

Hu Shu'er suddenly settled down, from the former commanding to not crying, not making trouble, and behaving properly, Ruoyun thought that the emperor had cured Hu Shu'er's temper, but who knew that when Hong inquired, it turned out that Lord Hu was punished, and Hu Shuer followed and stopped.

In addition, Hu Shu'er angered Long Yan that day, and the emperor never went to Shuchang Pavilion again, but Chu Rulan, who was usually good friends with Hu Shu'er, picked up the bargain and was able to be favored by the Holy Grace.

Xiaohong was still angry when she mentioned this stubble, Ruoyun just smiled lightly, she really didn't envy which concubines were favored, no matter who they were, they couldn't tell if it was empty, and the big red peony medicine sent by Wu Meiren was in full bloom again, and now it was also declining, Chu Rulan's temperament would one day hurt more than Hu Shu'er.

Rong Jinhuan punished Lord Gu's monthly salary and cured Hu Bowen for the crime of concealing and not reporting, but he did not order a thorough investigation, but Hu Bowen has been forming a gang for a long time, and he made a big fuss about the emperor's transfer and reward, and Rong Jinhuan couldn't help but complain a few times every time she came to her Chaolu Palace.

Ruoyun only listened patiently and occasionally perfunctory a few words, knowing that at some times Rong Jinhuan must be too anxious, and the pressure to enable the newcomer is quite high, and then the old minister is entrusted to the original position and is criticized, and finally can't bear to re-seal Cheng Qingsu and Yu Baize as the left and right doctors, but Baize refuses to live in the palace without giving face, and Cheng Qingsu is sent to treat drought and does not return. The concentration of imperial power was unprecedented, but it caused the dissatisfaction of some of the six ministers and the uneasiness of the garrisons in various places.

She knew that Rong Jinhuan might want to hear more of her opinions, but the harem is the harem after all, and she is at most a virtuous concubine when she dies of old age.

The farther away from the strife, the safer she becomes, she keeps this in mind, and Rong Jinhuan understands, so he doesn't embarrass her. It's just that he is in the position of the emperor, and the previous dynasty wants to settle the old ministers, but the harem also has to be wet with rain and dew, and she has come to the palace more and less.

Ruoyun didn't care who slept in the harem and who was favored, but she unexpectedly heard Xiaohong say that the emperor went to visit Lin Duyan, and she felt relieved in her heart, and the emperor really listened to the old man she said that day.

She kept thinking, and she didn't sleep well enough, she couldn't sleep well with her eyes closed all night, and early in the morning, Xiaohong called her up, saying that it was Prince Rong's wedding, and Concubine Xian couldn't be late.

She was still in a daze, Xiaohong had already put layers of jewelry and clothes on her head and body, and when she felt hot, she looked in the mirror, only to find that Xiaohong almost didn't put on the midwinter padded jacket skirt, and she couldn't cry or laugh for a while: "If the emperor looks at me like this, won't he be angry and vomit blood?" Even if the emperor is not angry, I will definitely faint from heat stroke and be carried back. ”

Xiaohong pouted nonchalantly and said, "Niangniang, Concubine De must be very popular, you are really not fancy and complicated, you can't lose to Concubine De." As he spoke, he added another jade hairpin to her head.

"Concubine De is also going?" Ruoyun asked lightly, slightly surprised.

Xiaohong was surprised: "Huh? Niangniang, don't you know the way? Concubine De's sedan chair has set off, Niangniang, if you don't hurry up, it's going to be too late. ”

Ruoyun was silent, and suddenly reached out and plucked the hosta and threw it on the dresser.

Xiaohong was frightened by her, and looked at the hosta in response, and then stomped her feet: "Oops! Mother, what are you doing here? After saying that, he bent down and cleaned up.

No, Ruoyun then pulled all the hairpins on her head and lost them, Xiaohong didn't have time to stop them, and the gorgeous clothes embroidered with peonies were stripped off layer by layer and thrown to the ground.

Ruoyun only wore her underwear after the worst, and when her high-soled embroidered shoes stepped out of the circle of material, Xiaohong reacted and screamed, and the palace maids who were serving far away changed their faces, and the things in their hands were unstable and fell to the ground.

"Oh, mother, what are you crazy about!" Xiaohong didn't care about the politeness, and stomped her feet in a hurry.

But Ruoyun had already put on the clothes, looked back and said, "Don't come and help me quickly, wait until it's too late, and the emperor will blame carefully." ”

"But ......" Xiaohong was even more inexplicable, but she still rubbed over to help her tie the strap.

"Concubine De must be glamorous on such a big day, you just look at it." Ruoyun explained a few words lightly, and then instructed a few younger palace maids to change her into a pair of low-grade shoes, while asking people to remove their heads and make a simple hairstyle.

"Niangniang, it's not polite for you to go out like this, the emperor is to blame!" Xiaohong said solemnly and shook Ruoyun's arm.

Ruoyun smiled at her, pointed to the hairpin ring jewelry on the table and said, "You bring these, and these, and change them for me when you get to the palace." ”

Xiaohong saw her pointing to the clothes on the ground, and hurriedly asked people to clean them up, so she couldn't help but wonder: "Niangniang, don't you go to the palace to see the ceremony?" ”

"Well, let's go directly to the palace." Ruoyun was about to stop, thinking of something, her face suddenly became gloomy, and she said to her slowly, "You go and look through it, is there a piece of clothing in that box with an embroidered picture of rouge, a pattern of peonies, and gold and silver threads intertwined with the neckline and cuffs, if so, bring it with you." With that, he sighed heavily.

"Boxes?" Xiaohong tilted her head and thought about it, and suddenly realized, "I know the way, so I'll go." With that, he trotted away. (To be continued......)
