Chapter 18 Giving a dowry
Mu Guifei's younger brother is about to get married, and the concubines in the palace have begun to give gifts, and the palace is very lively.
"Concubine Mu has been really blessed recently, she has added someone to her family, her face is also ruddy and tight, and she looks radiant." Chang Guiren quipped.
However, after Mu Chengyue heard this, her eyes were vague.
Who doesn't know that Mu Chengchuan is married to a fool, if it weren't for the power of the Ruan family, they wouldn't want to lose this person.
Moreover, the emperor has not favored her for a long time, how can she be ruddy?
"I borrowed the auspicious words of Chang Guiren, I also hope that my stomach will fight for breath, but don't be like Chang Guiren, after losing children, my body is not as good as before, and I am pitiful." Mu Chengyue has never been an aggrieved character.
What's more, she didn't look at this noble person at all, so the words she said were particularly ugly.
Sure enough, Chang Guiren's face instantly became ugly, and she stared at Mu Chengyue tightly.
Mu Chengyue snorted coldly, lowered her head and took a sip of tea: "Is my identity so bad now, is everything coming to me to spread wild?" β
The palace maid also raised her toes on the side: "In the end, it's all Niangniang, your temper is too good, if you are tougher." β
The two of them sang and harmonized, Chang Guiren's face was pale, and when he was about to leave, a voice suddenly sounded.
"The emperor has arrived."
The emperor is coming?
In an instant, the eyes of the two people were straight, they arranged their makeup and hair, and saluted after Situ Shao came in.
"See the Emperor."
Situ Shao raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it time for me to come and disturb you?" β
"What is the emperor talking about? The concubines recently thought that the emperor was thinking about it tightly, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally gave the emperor hope! In order to declare sovereignty, Mu Chengyue stepped forward to hold Situ Shao.
Chang Guiren clenched his veil, hated in his heart, and squeezed out a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, the concubine is talking to her sister about the happy events of her family." β
said, she pretended to be pitiful: "The emperor hasn't been to the concubine for a long time!" β
Slut! Mu Chengyue's heart was very dissatisfied, why did she compete with her for favor?
"Chang Guiren, I have something else to say to the emperor, why don't you step down first." In front of Situ Shao, she said this directly, without giving any face.
Chang Guiren's eyes widened in disbelief, and then he begged Situ Shao bitterly, but he didn't react as if he hadn't seen it.
In this way, Chang Guiren reluctantly left.
"Ai Concubine, don't be so jealous."
Situ Shao said lightly, which made Mu Chengyue's heart skip a beat.
In the past, he wouldn't have cared about these things.
Mu Chengyue then said softly: "The emperor doesn't know, this royal marriage contract can show that the emperor attaches great importance to it, many people come to give gifts, but there are reasons to ridicule the Ruan family for being stupid, and the concubine can't stand it." β
These words are alluding to Chang Guiren's disrespect for her.
Sure enough, Situ Shao was very angry when he heard this, where did he allow others to point fingers at the marriage contract he rewarded.
He snorted coldly: "I will issue an order, if anyone chews the root of his tongue again, he will give me a heavy punishment!" β
As he spoke, he looked at the gifts placed in the dormitory, and displeasure flashed in his eyes: "These are all given to you by the concubines of the harem?" β
"Yes, my sisters have hearts, and they really regard their concubines as sisters." Mu Chengyue didn't realize that he was angry.
"I still have a fold that I haven't reviewed, so I'll leave first."
Situ Shao didn't want to stay long, so he said, turned around and prepared to leave.
Mu Chengyue gritted her teeth and grabbed his arm: "Your Majesty, I still have something to tell you, can't you stay with me for a while?" β
At this moment, she saw the sachet hanging from Situ Shao's waist clearly, and she frowned: "Why does this sachet look familiar, which sister embroidered it?" β
She was about to reach out to touch it, but was dodged by Situ Shao.
He twisted his eyebrows: "Is my thing something you can touch if you say you can touch it?" Be honest with me! β
At this time, Situ Shao left completely.
Mu Chengyue squinted her eyes, her heart was full of anger, as a woman, her intuition was very accurate, and she naturally felt that something was wrong.
She instructed the palace maid she trusted: "You go and check for me, what is going on with that sachet!" β
Nguyen family.
Ruan Linlang remembered that the wedding was imminent, and the whole person was weak, and she couldn't raise her interest at all.
"Miss, you have been sullen all day long, and if you continue like this, I am afraid that your body will be affected." The maid cared for her very much.
However, Ruan Linlang was very indifferent: "Think about it, if you marry that bastard, can you be happy?" β
As soon as these words came out, the maid was speechless, and she thought about it, it was indeed quite bad.
"Miss, Miss! The emperor's reward has arrived, go to the hall! β
While the two were talking, the little guy at the door came in in a panic to report.
Hearing this, Ruan Linlang's eyes flashed with incomprehension: "What reward?" β
It was also surprising that Situ Shao would reward her with something.
"Miss, aren't you about to get married, the emperor has rewarded a lot of things, the eunuch is waiting in the hall, you better go quickly!"
Ruan Linlang now represents the faΓ§ade of the Ruan family, so naturally she didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly went to the hall.
When the eunuch saw Ruan Linlang coming, he smiled and said, "Miss Ruan, a good thing is coming, I will congratulate you here first." β
"These boxes of jewelry are all rewarded by the emperor, congratulations to Miss Ruan on her happy wedding."
After Ruan Linlang thanked him, he looked around, Situ Shao was really generous, and he rewarded so many things, which was completely to give them the Ruan family a face.
She smiled and responded to the eunuch's words: "Thank you father-in-law for the trip, and please accept this small gift." β
The eunuch's eyes flashed with surprise, and they all said that Miss Ruan was a fool, but now she was so knowledgeable about people's feelings, which really surprised him.
"Thank you, Miss Ruan, then you will take stock here first, I won't bother."
After the eunuch left, the maid exclaimed: "Miss, the emperor is too good to our Ruan family, right?" How did you send so many things! β
Ruan Linlang, who is the party concerned, was not a little happy, but still had some doubts.
What exactly does Szeto Shao mean?
She used to be the queen, and she couldn't be more clear about the things she was rewarded, it was impossible for Situ Shao to reward the Ruan family with so many things!
What the hell is going on?
But in the blink of an eye, she left this matter behind, and Situ Shao couldn't know her true identity!
Time turned, and the wedding day came.
Ruan Linlang sat on the top of the person in front of the bronze mirror, and the maid whispered on the side: "Miss, I heard that you will be hungry for a long time when you get married, do you want to eat something to cushion your stomach?" β
"No need." Where does she still have an appetite?
