Chapter 286: Contest
Gonggong Li recognized the identity of the carriage at a glance, and asked Mingyue to pull him over, and his eyes turned over: "Do you see that carriage? The master inside is not something you can afford to provoke, if you want to cause trouble, you will leave consciously." ”
Mingyue wanted to say something, but Gonggong Li walked over with a flattering face, and a flattering look appeared on his face: "It's Miss Liu, right? Lord Liu has already said hello, you just need to ......"
The carriage entered the palace gate, Liu Ruyan looked at Mingyue, and when she arrived in the palace, she couldn't be so swaggering anymore, and changed into the clothes of a maid and blended into the palace people.
The palace people know her identity, and they all kinds of flattery to her, she is very good to everyone, but her eyes are very hypocritical, and her smile is not very kind.
"Do you know Mingyue?" she asked tentatively, taking out a few pieces of broken silver from her purse, "I'm just asking casually, and it's okay if you don't know." ”
The palace people didn't expect her to be so generous, they looked straight in the eyes, and rushed to speak excitedly: "She was picked up by the emperor, but the emperor didn't like it, so she was kicked out of the palace." ”
"She still has that kind of idea about the emperor, and she has served by the emperor's side, but the emperor has no intention of her, otherwise he would not have driven her out. ”
"She did such a humiliating thing, how could she still have the face to stay in the palace, if I were her, I would just seek death......"
The words of several people amused Liu Ruyan, she gave broken silver to the few people who spoke, and then asked someone to send Mingyue into the palace again.
When the maid learned of her intentions, she asked puzzledly: "If she enters the palace, it may become a stumbling block for the young lady, why does the young lady still help her?"
Liu Ruyan hooked her lips and smiled ill-intentionedly: "Even you think I'm helping her, but in fact, I'm helping myself, she is not worthy of being my opponent." ”
"If you don't use it well, it's a stumbling block, but if you use it well, it's a stepping stone, isn't the emperor tired of her?
After the maid understood, she happily agreed: "The maid understands, so go back and tell the prime minister and let him arrange this matter as soon as possible." ”
Mingyue refused to leave outside the palace gate, and several tall black-clothed people walked towards her, frightening her to flee in embarrassment, but she was still caught by those people.
They didn't do anything to her, they just asked her, "Do you still want to enter the palace?"
"Who are you?" Mingyue shrank in the corner, her voice trembling and she didn't dare to speak, let alone answer them casually.
"It doesn't matter who we are, if you want to enter the palace, we can help you now, if you don't want to, we will kill you immediately!"
"Enter, enter the palace. "She wants to enter the palace, but she wants to save her life even more.
didn't expect these people to really throw her into the palace again, and the first person she saw when she looked up was Liu Ruyan.
Mingyue retracted her gaze suspiciously, got up to leave, and heard her laughing: "I'm just waiting for you here, do you dare to go?"
Mingyue didn't dare not listen to her, so she had to turn back again, she had no impression of her in her mind, and she couldn't understand what she was waiting for herself.
"What are you looking for me?"
Seeing that she was obedient, Liu Ruyan's face softened, and she raised her chin and asked, "Tell me honestly, why did the emperor save you in the first place?"
"I don't know. Mingyue shook her head innocently, but she obviously didn't believe it.
If he hadn't done something in advance, how could the emperor save her so skillfully?
If you want to impress the emperor, the first meeting is very important, so you have to ask clearly in advance, and you can't let go of half of it.
Liu Ruyan raised her chin and threatened viciously: "Even if you don't say it, I can let people find out myself, but I advise you, don't think crookedly, I let you enter the palace, and I can also let you die." ”
"No, don't kill me, I'll say anything!"
Mingyue was so intimidated that she couldn't speak clearly, and she still told her the original thing, including the portrait in the imperial study.
Before Liu Ruyan left, she glanced back at her: "You really haven't seen the person on the painting?"
"Nope. ”
"Well," Liu Ruyan nodded, "I'm not afraid of you telling others about this, because I have the Liu family behind me, and you have nothing." ”
"If you dare to say it, I guarantee that if you can't finish your words, you will die first. ”
Mingyue will be suspicious of her words, she will not dare to be disobedient, she can't tell others about it, and even if she says it, no one will speak for her.
She lives far away from the emperor, because Liu Ruyan is there, and she can't see the emperor, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't like the emperor, she still likes him.
Liu Ruyan has the arrangement of Prime Minister Liu, and she has the opportunity to see the emperor every day, but she is not as stupid as Mingyue, and she will only annoy the emperor.
She handed over the washed and cut melons and fruits to Gonggong Li, and stuffed some silver into him: "The emperor has been in the study for a while, this is what I made with my own hands, and my father-in-law sent it in." ”
"Miss Liu is ingenious, and the emperor will definitely like it. Gonggong Li sent the melon and fruit in, and the emperor glanced at him, and then lowered his head again.
"Your Majesty, you eat some fruit and rest, or drink a cup of tea......
The emperor picked up a piece of melon and fruit and ate it, it was unexpectedly sweet, and his gloomy mood improved: "You made this?"
Gonggong Li shook his head and took advantage of the situation to draw out Liu Ruyan: "How can the slave have such a thought, it was made by the girl outside, can the emperor see it?"
"Hmm. Lu Yuanli nodded.
But as soon as Gonggong Li went out, he saw that there was no one outside, and said embarrassedly: "This is ...... Maybe he didn't want to disturb the emperor. ”
"It doesn't matter. He pursed his lips slightly.
It was like this for the next few days, fresh melons and fruits would be delivered every day, but Lu Yuanli couldn't see anyone, so he asked the eunuch to drag people next time and prepare to go out to see it in person.
The next day, Liu Ruyan sent melons and fruits again, Gonggong Li didn't mean to reach out to take it, the door was suddenly opened, and Lu Yuanli walked out of it, staring at her.
"Are you Prime Minister Liu's daughter?" Lu Yuanli saw this face and asked her identity directly.
When it came to this, Liu Ruyan could only generously admit: "Yes." ”
"Then why did you dress up like this and enter the palace?"
"The little girl likes the emperor, but she doesn't want to cause trouble to the emperor, so she can only make this decision. ”
Lu Yuanli was silent for a while, and he didn't know whether to believe her words or not, and then asked, "Does your father know about this?"
"The little girl is sick in the house, and her father is busy dealing with family affairs, so he can't stay by the little girl's side all the time, so he shouldn't know. ”
"And what reward do you want?"
"The little girl is fortunate to serve the emperor and does not ask for a reward. Liu Ruyan had already thought about how to answer, but she didn't expect to use it all at this time.
Lu Yuanli knew what she was thinking, but she didn't do anything wrong, so she didn't want to blow her mind directly: "Then let's stay." ”
"Yes!" Liu Ruyan was ecstatic, and then secretly passed the news to Prime Minister Liu.
Even so, the emperor was still lukewarm to her, she didn't want to sit still, so she found an opportunity to enter the study and saw that the person in the painting looked a little like the bright moon.
She felt unbelievable, if this was really the bright moon, then why didn't the emperor accept it? Everything had to be figured out.
