Chapter 9: Grace
followed over, and after the emperor sat down, the two of them obediently sat down on the side.
Even if the emperor loves them very much, in front of this emperor who is full of majesty, the etiquette that should be there is not at all to be neglected.
But after sitting down, Princess Xinyi was no longer restrained, and happily told her father about making tea with snow water.
The emperor frowned slightly when he heard this, "Your fourth emperor brother is also in the plum garden?"
Princess Xinyi saw the change in the expression on her father's face, and was about to find an excuse to perfunctory the past, but Ji Ruhuan, who didn't want to be on the side, responded with a smile, "Yes, Your Majesty, Huan'er will not collect Mei Xue, or Huan'er taught by His Royal Highness." ”
The emperor's brows furrowed even tighter, pursed his lips and stopped talking, Ji Ruhuan also noticed the emperor's displeasure, and hurriedly closed his mouth and lowered his head in fear.
Princess Xinyi cautiously called "Father", the emperor came back to his senses, noticed the strangeness of the two, instantly regained his smile, and said with a smile, "Why are you like this, I don't blame you." ”
Seeing that the emperor smiled again, Princess Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief, revealing the delicate appearance of her little daughter, and pouted in response, "The father was startled, why is the father unhappy?"
The emperor explained patiently, "I am worried that your fourth emperor brother will patronize the plum blossoms and delay the business. ”
After that, the emperor summoned lunch, Princess Xinyi and Ji Ruhuan sang and harmonized, which made the emperor very happy, and there was cheerful laughter from time to time in the palace of nourishing the heart.
The emperor has a lot of opportunities, the New Year is approaching, and he is even more busy, Princess Xinyi and Ji Ruhuan had lunch in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and they didn't stay long before they came out.
As soon as the two left, the emperor said to the eunuch who was waiting on the side with a gloomy face, "Heshun, go and find out what the four princes have been messing with recently." ”
He Shun bowed down and went out of the inner sanctum.
When Ji Ruhuan returned to the General's Mansion, it was almost dark, and as soon as he got off the carriage, he saw the eldest girl Hongxing beside her grandmother standing at the door, as if waiting for her.
Sure enough, when he saw her, he came over and bowed down and said, "I have seen the eldest lady, the old lady sent a slave to wait for the eldest lady here, saying that the eldest lady will go to the room to see her when she comes back." ”
Ji Ruhuan looked at Hongxing and asked, "But what's the matter?"
Hongxing was uncomfortable when she was looked at by Ji Ruhuan, and with such eyes, she seemed to see through herself, and opened her mouth unconsciously, "The eldest young master and the second lady are in the upper room." ”
Ji Ruhuan pursed her lips and sneered, it's this trick again, but this trick is always tried and tested, who makes himself not a man.
In the main courtyard, Mrs. Ji sat in the first place, looking at Ji Ruhuan with a cold face, and Ji Feiyan was standing on the side, but she didn't see Ji Chengan.
Ji Feiyan's eyes were still a little red, and she looked aggrieved.
"Huan'er has seen her grandmother. Ji Ruhuan bowed.
"Get on your knees. Old Madam Ji replied coldly.
Ji Ruhuan didn't dare to disobey, bowed her head and knelt down obediently, and heard the old lady Ji scold, "What did ......you tell you yesterday, have you forgotten?
"Grandmother, Huan'er knows that Huan'er used to be naughty and disliked you, but Huan'er has already repented of herself and didn't mess around a while ago, grandmother said this, Huan'er is so sad. "Pretending to be wronged, who wouldn't?
Sure enough, when Mrs. Ji saw Ji Ruhuan like this, she was a little unbearable, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, but thinking about the injuries on the second girl's body, she finally couldn't bear to suppress it, and reprimanded, "Push your sister into the snow in the palace, don't you mess around?" You are sisters, and you are all girls of the Ji family outside, you are so nonsense, it is our people from Ji Mansion who are lost, do you know or not?"
Ji Ruhuan raised her head with aggrieved red eyes, and said in disbelief, "Sister, how can you slander me like this? Obviously, you fell down by yourself, and I was kind enough to help you, but you actually said that I pushed you?"
Obviously it was Ji Ruhuan who pushed her, Ji Feiyan saw that Ji Ruhuan actually reversed black and white like this, and came to question her, her hands were shaking with anger, but she could endure it, she didn't lose her mind, and her red eyes sobbed, "I know my sister doesn't like me, but why did my sister make me so ugly and start so hard." ”
Old Mrs. Ji remembered the bruise on Ji Feiyan's arm, and her eyes turned cold when she looked at Ji Ruhuan, Ji Ruhuan raised her head, looked at Old Lady Ji, and said aggrievedly and stubbornly, "Grandmother, the situation at that time, there were so many sisters in the plum garden, as well as Princess Xinyi and the four princes, they all knew the situation at that time, if grandmother didn't believe Huan'er, Huan'er invited them to come over to confront her." ”
Old Lady Ji stared at Ji Ruhuan for a while, and her sharp eyes swept to Ji Feiyan, who was still sobbing and slightly anxious with hatred on her face.
Taking in Ji Feiyan's expression, Old Lady Ji said coldly, "Then put down a few posts and invite a few girls who entered the palace with you today to come and ask." ”
Ji Feiyan's vomiting blood turned upside down, and she couldn't wait to tear Ji Ruhuan off, her nails were pinched into her palms, but she had to hold back her anger and kneel down in front of her grandmother, "Grandmother, maybe my sister is out of good intentions, seeing that the road is slippery in the snow, she accidentally pushed Feiyan down when she wanted to help Feiyan, Feiyan is fine, forget about it." ”
Ji Ruhuan looked at Ji Feiyan, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, which quickly disappeared, and then she said angrily, "My sister kept saying that I pushed you, why did I find someone to confront you at this time, and my sister wouldn't let me?" I think it's my sister's weak heart." ”
After speaking, Ji Ruhuan looked at Mrs. Ji with a look of grievance, "Grandmother, Huan'er used to be stubborn, but she didn't do anything to hurt Aunt Yun and her second sister, why did Aunt Yun and her second sister always want to harm me?"
After speaking, Ji Ruhuan also shed tears.
Where has Old Madam Ji seen Ji Ruhuan like this, even if she did something wrong and was punished, she would not look like this, and now like this, I am afraid that it is really sad.
Old Madam Ji said with a distressed face, "Come over grandmother." ”
Ji Ruhuan got up and went over, was pulled by Mrs. Ji to sit beside her, gently hugged Ji Ruhuan and coaxed, "Okay, Huan'er doesn't cry, it's grandmother who blames Huan'er." ”
Ji Ruhuan was held in the arms of Old Madam Ji, and her eyes looked at Ji Feiyan, who was still kneeling on the ground, revealing a sarcastic smile.
This time Ji Feiyan really cried, she was angry and cried, her red eyes and tears fell down, knowing that it was Ji Ruhuan who pushed her down, but she had a hard time arguing.
Ji Feiyan was grounded again, Ji Ruhuan sat on the soft couch and listened to Qiu's mother talk about things outside, "As soon as the second lady went back, she lost her temper, and it is said that she smashed everything that could be smashed in the house." ”
Ji Ruhuan chuckled and responded, "It's okay to bear it, you didn't have a seizure in front of your grandmother, you go and reveal the news to your grandmother and the people in your father's yard." ”
Qiu's mother responded, turned around and left, and sighed in her heart at the same time, Miss has really grown up.
Because the old lady is old, there is no housewife in the family, and the previous housekeeping is taken care of by Aunt Yun, and Aunt Yun is copying scriptures and praying in the ancestral hall, and these affairs fall to Mrs. Ji again.
But the old lady is old, and she has rarely asked about the affairs of the inner house in the past few years, and there are many affairs in the past few years, so she is a little powerless, and she has plans to let Aunt Yun come out of the ancestral hall.
Ji Ruhuan heard the maid in front of her finish the news she inquired, nodded, didn't speak, just looked at the maid carefully, for a long time, the maid was at a loss, Ji Ruhuan waved her hand to let her go down.
Mother Qiu came over and added a cup of hot tea to Ji Ruhuan, and asked, "Miss has been staring at the loquat, but what's wrong with this girl?"
Ji Ruhuan took a sip of hot tea and responded, "Don't you think she was too anxious when she said this?"
Qiu's mother said thoughtfully, "When Miss said this, it's true." ”
Ji Ruhuan said, "Let Xiao Jinzi go and check and see whose person it is." ”
Mother Qiu nodded, and was about to go out, when she stopped again, "Miss, let's just watch Aunt Yun take back the power of the family again?"
Ji Ruhuan smiled and responded, "I heard that Aunt Qing is sick, let's go see Aunt Qing later." ”
