Chapter Eighty-Six: Slapping Rulan
Xiaohong saw that she was bored, so she began to talk about the main event, and this highlight is the selection now.
It's just that although there are as many as 200 people in the selection, it is the most "simple" number in all dynasties.
There are several daughters of big names in this roster:
The daughter of Master Xu Fengxu, who is the secretary of the ministry, is named Cuiwei, and I heard that she is smart and alert, and she is good at advancing and retreating.
And Master Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, only sent his youngest daughter Hu Shu'er into the palace, Hu Shu'er is pampered and commanding on weekdays, and he began to put up a shelf when he came to the palace.
Ding Yifang, the daughter of Ding Jia, the richest man in the capital, has always been generous, and the rewards to her subordinates are gold beads.
On the contrary, Wang Hanxian, the daughter of Lord Wang, the leader of the Gyeonggi garrison, was quiet and gentle, and the quietest.
The daughters of the assassins and wealthy businessmen from all over the world gathered together to compete for beauty.
In the palace, Lord Luo's daughter, Concubine Luode, is the dominant family, and Mo Yushi's daughter Mo Zhaoyi is the most favored, plus a Wu beauty who likes to play with right and wrong and is jealous, this time the womb is bound to be not peaceful.
What Xiaohong remembers the most is Chu Rulan, the only daughter of Lord Chu, Chu Rulan was sent to the palace before she was born, this Miss Chu family's greed for wealth and wealth has not changed at all.
For her, Xiaohong said a few words viciously but didn't describe it more, which made Ruoyun chuckle and sigh again.
If you want to escape, you don't know that you have fallen into it, and the disaster is not a one-way street.
She was not sure that she would be safe in the battle in the palace, but fortunately, with Xiaohong by her side, she was not alone. I can't help but feel a little relieved.
Even if she can ignore those concubines with broken mouths, Rong Yixuan's death and Bai Ze's safety make her restless, and Cheng Qingxuan's movements are like a soft thorn piercing her heart. I want to ignore it, but I can't.
The selection has been extremely strict since ancient times, from the family background, background, appearance, figure, conduct, female workers are carefully examined one by one, the original flamboyant and domineering official ladies, the daughters of the rich are all restrained in a proper manner, after all, there is no emperor to appoint the hand-pick, anyone may be defeated.
As soon as she entered the palace, Ruoyun seemed to be cut off from the world. Except for the news brought by Xiaohong, I don't know anything about the side, even if I am worried. No matter what boredom she had, the days flew by, making her think that the difficult battle to leave the country was just a dream.
At the end of April, the weather warmed up sharply. Even the girls who were afraid of the cold changed their outer shirts into gauze clothes. The unsuccessful ladies were repatriated one after another, and the remaining fifty moved into Xia Nuanju, a room for four people, and it was the girls' turn to squeeze the remaining huts when the dozen main houses were full.
Fortunately, Xia Nuanju is separated by small courtyards, avoiding most disputes, and Aunt Yixin has undoubtedly become a temporary authority, although she respectfully calls the daughters "little masters", but she is not a little humble.
before moving in. In the east compartment lived alone an uncanonized "Niangniang", who was still hired into the palace by the emperor. This matter immediately became everyone's biggest topic.
Ruoyun's broken hair at the beginning of the year has grown a lot, and the dullness on her face has faded, she can also be beautiful when she dresses carefully.
But since Xia Nuanju moved in, she has not gone out of the door, and she has not even been lazy to walk around the yard, and she has been closed all day long and looked at the books lightly.
The two girls of Scarlet Flower and Qiuyue are also very worry-free, never talking much about things, although the east room of Xia Nuanju has been hotly discussed, I have never seen any girl dare to come to find out.
One day, just after noon, Xiaohong hurriedly slammed the door open and ran in, panting and pointing out the door.
Ruoyun felt that the situation was not good, and just stood up, but saw that under the bright daylight, Chu Rulan was standing at the door in a green branch dress, she was taller and plumper for half a year, her eyebrows were trimmed more thinly, and the apricot eyes under her were looking at her with their eyes wide open, but the maid behind her was afraid and did not dare to step forward.
Chu Rulan saw her demure and peaceful appearance as dazzling as a hibiscus out of the water, she was stunned suddenly, and pouted for a while: "I saw Xiaohong, and I realized that it was really you who lived here...... You...... You slut, where did you make the fox kung fu, make yourself whiter and better-looking, and seduce Prince Rong, even the emperor has to seduce! The more she spoke, the more angry she became, and she simply pressed forward step by step, and her voice changed from a small voice at the beginning to an angry rebuke.
"I don't want you to say that, Miss!" Xiaohong hurriedly rushed forward.
Before the words fell, Chu Rulan stretched out her hand to fight, Ruoyun quickly grabbed her wrist, looked directly into her eyes and said, "Why did you beat my maid?!" ”
"Hmph, I know that I am a servant girl and I don't call myself a slave?!" Chu Rulan sneered, seeing that she hesitated, it was a blow to suddenly break free of her wrist.
Xiaohong exclaimed, and finger prints appeared on her fair cheeks.
Ruoyun's head was hot, and she slapped her hard without thinking about it, and Chu Rulan was stunned on the spot.
Only then did she sober up, Ruoyun's heart sank suddenly, and after a little thought, she hurriedly walked to the table and opened the drawer, stretched out her hand and took out the Ming Huang Holy Decree, turned her head and glared at her: "Although I have not been canonized, I am the person who was hired by the emperor to live in Xia Nuanju, and the Holy Purpose is this, Miss Chu, although you are the person who should be chosen, you are not qualified to beat my maidservant." It makes sense that this slap is for you! I hope you know what is proportionate! ”
Chu Rulan was about to have a seizure, but when she saw the Holy Decree, her face turned white instantly, and her gaze turned resentful for three points, and she sneered: "It's okay!" Rong Yixuan died, you relied on the emperor, and you were really a slut! ”
"You-" Ruoyun only felt her blood surge, and her hand holding the holy decree trembled, and Xiaohong was about to step forward again to reason.
"Little Lord Chu, the emperor of the Eastern Chamber has ordered that no one should be allowed to enter, and I hope that Miss Chu will remember what Yixin said." It was Aunt Yixin who interjected, and I don't know when it had arrived.
Chu Rulan pursed her lips, turned around and ran out of the road as soon as she stomped her feet, and the girls behind her hurriedly followed.
Yixin glanced at Ruoyun calmly and said, "Miss Su Ruoyun, although you don't need to choose, you can be favored once you are cold, and there are many people in this palace, so I hope you don't add chaos to Xia Nuanju." There was no sadness or joy in her expression, but she was clearly blamed for being angry and rash.
She settled down, nodded and said, "What my aunt taught me is that Ruoyun will be cautious in the future and no longer be reckless." After speaking, he pulled Xiaohong to salute.
Aunt Yixin smiled with satisfaction, but she called two girls in and said sharply: "Do you know that no one is allowed to enter or leave this eastern courtyard?!" If you can't do it again, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”
Scarlet Flower and Qiu Yue nodded busily, and Aunt Yixin glared for a long time before leaving the house.
Ruoyun hurriedly pulled the two girls and said, "It's not that I don't want to be reasonable, I'm just afraid that I'll get you into trouble." ”
"Rest assured, the rules in this palace, the more you help to say, the more sinful it is, thank you girl." It was Qiu Yue who spoke, and Scarlet still nodded inwardly.
After the two left, Ruoyun closed the door and carefully checked Xiaohong's injury, there was a five-finger mark on the white face, red and swollen.
Ruoyun frowned in distress: "Don't be reckless in the future!" ”
Xiaohong replied angrily: "Who told that Chu Rulan to hurt people!" In the future, she will be considered a mother, but if you become a queen, Miss......"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Ruoyun covered her mouth fiercely and said fiercely, "If you talk about it later, you and I will lose our heads!" Do you know the way? ”
Xiaohong was frightened, and hurriedly realized that she had lost her words, and nodded.
Ruoyun breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart became melancholy.
It's really a wave of unsettled, she hit Chu Rulan, I'm afraid that this matter will spread all over in less than an hour.
Don't be reckless in the future, that's what she said to herself.
Only one day later, Miss Su in the east room relied on the emperor's holy decree and openly beat people.
But in the end, the emperor gave an order, although Miss Yigan was all curious, but she just exchanged her head and ears, and the bunch of fierce enemies in front of her were enough trouble, and no one had the strength to ask about this Eastern Affairs.
Just a few days later, Xia Nuanju, who was safe and quiet on weekdays, died of a girl who did rough work, and when she was found, she was soaked in the well with a blue mouth and nose, and she didn't know whether she drowned or was thrown into the well after being killed.
Miss's maid died sideways, this matter is not big or small, but it was Chu Rulan's girl who died, and a few days ago, Chu Rulan had friction with Su Ruoyun in the east, not to mention, the latter also beat people.
For a while, the harem was in an uproar, everyone was in danger, and even Chu Rulan was so frightened that she temporarily lost her temper.
Originally, a few girls who had a good conversation with Xiaohong saw her again, but they walked away one after another, as if they were running away from the plague god.
Xiaohong passed by the garden with tea, and saw Xu Cuiwei in the patio smiling silently, her beautiful face was calm and a little indifferent, Hu Shu'er, who was sitting opposite her, was depicting her eyebrows dancing like apricot blossoms, the tall Chu Rulan nodded frequently with her eyebrows tightly locked, and Wang Han sat silently far away with a demure face.
Xiaohong pouted, these women didn't do anything to say that their young lady was a monster, if it wasn't for the young lady's instructions to be careful, she would have rushed up to theorize.
I snorted in my heart and was about to leave, but a palace maid and eunuch came to report in a hurry, saying that Concubine De had arrived.
The people in the courtyard who were originally sitting stood up suddenly, but those who were originally standing stiffened, only Hu Shu'er glanced at the door indifferently and said, "Isn't it just a concubine, what's so rare." But after all, he lowered his voice.
The atmosphere changed abruptly, but Ding Yifang was yawning and pacing in gold and silver.
Xiaohong's heart was broken, so she hurriedly tiptoed back and drove back with a cigarette of tea.
When she crashed into the east room, most of the tea in her hand was spilled, looking at her panicked appearance, Ruoyun, who was in a daze looking at the flowers under the warm sun in early summer, was rarely smiling.
"Still laughing?" Xiaohong pouted angrily, put the tray on the table out of breath, took a few deep breaths, and the beads of sweat on her forehead rolled down: "Oh no!" Concubine De is here! ”
"Who?" Ruoyun's smile was cold on her face.
didn't wait for Xiaohong to speak, but the scarlet flowers and Qiuyue outside the courtyard said loudly: "Slaves and maids see Concubine De Niangniang!" (To be continued......)
