"I want you to feel at ease, the most intimate thing by my side now is you."

Wei Guifei nodded and buried her head in Taizong's chest.

In the following days, Taizong never summoned Situ Mingyue again, but let Wu Ruyu wait for pen and ink day by day, Wu Ruyu came to Taiji Palace, and saw Wei Guifei sitting next to His Majesty reading a book, his heart was clear, after the salute, Wu Ruyu slowly walked up to the stage, Taizong looked at Wu Ruyu and said with a smile,

"But I haven't seen Mei Niang for a long time."

Wu Ruyu said with a smile,

"Your Majesty, Mei Niang just brought you ginseng soup a few days ago."

Taizong patted his head,

"Yes, look at my memory, I did come a few days ago, maybe I didn't see Mei Niang for a day, like every other autumn."

Wei Guifei sat aside and said with a smile,

"Wu Meiren is the most gentle and polite, I haven't seen you for a few days, who can't want to."

Wu Ruyu smiled and saluted.

"Your Majesty worries about political affairs, and her heart is on the country's plans, Mei Niang, as a concubine, should take good care of Your Majesty, Your Majesty doesn't need to hang the curtain every day, as long as you can think of Mei Niang for a moment."

Taizong patted Wu Ruyu's hand,

"Good girl."

Wei Guifei looked at Wu Ruyu with a smile, and lowered her head to read again.

Out of Taiji Palace, Wu Ruyu followed behind Wei Guifei, Wei Guifei turned her head, smiled and took Wu Ruyu's hand,

"You girl, you are always too weak, you have been in the palace for a long time, I don't see what you have fought for, what you have robbed, it is a model for the concubines, if you have suffered any grievances in the future, you might as well come to the palace and talk to the palace, and be open-minded."

Wu Ruyu nodded,

"Thank you Niangniang, the concubine knows."

Wei Guifei patted her hand, got on the sedan chair and drove away, Wu Ruyu looked at the sedan chair that was far away, and fell into contemplation, now Situ Mingyue, I'm afraid that I will hit a wall on all sides, people can't always stand too high, Taizong's grace, sometimes it may become a sharp blade, when you are caught off guard, give you a knife, Wu Ruyu sneered, got on the step and drove away.

Situ Mingyue sorted out the paper patterns and fabrics, and asked Situ Jinghe to send them back to Wei Guifei's palace. Situ Jinghe arrived at the door of Concubine Wei, and several palace people saw them and shouted,

"What the hell!"

Holding the fabric and paper pattern, Situ Jing stepped forward and smiled at the palace man,

"We were sent by Mingyue Pavilion to deliver paper samples to the noble concubine."

The palace man snorted coldly,

"What kind of paper, our mother said, no one has seen me in the past few days, and I don't accept anything, where did you call it, where do you go back quickly."

Situ Jing frowned and said with a smile,

"Father-in-law, this paper pattern is to be used by the concubine in a few days, and you and I can't afford to delay the mother's affairs, or you will be accommodating,"

As he spoke, he took out some silver from his purse and stuffed it into the hands of the father-in-law who was the head, who knew that the father-in-law did not accept the kindness, and pushed Situ Jing away, Situ Jing did not stand firmly, and accidentally fell to the ground, and quickly put down the things in his hand to help Situ Jing, at this moment, a deep voice sounded,

"What are you doing?"

And the people hurried to their knees,

"Knock to your majesty."

Taizong stepped down,

"What is it that makes you minions make a loud noise at the gate of the palace of the concubine, are there any rules in this palace?"

The eunuch who pushed Situ Jing just now hurriedly said,

"Your Majesty, these two little minions said that they came to send things, but the concubine said that she was going to clean up recently, and let the minions wait to watch and not let people disturb them, these two little minions grabbed at the door, and they had to send things in, and they wanted to bribe the minions, but the minions didn't accept them, and the little palace maid fell to the ground to scare the minions."

Taizong frowned, looked at Xiangxin and Situ Jing on the ground, and knew that His Majesty recognized him, so he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, Taizong recognized him early in the morning, and was even more angry, shouting,

"Come on, pull this rude slave girl down and beat her forty with a cane."

After speaking, he entered the palace of Wei Guifei. Situ Jinghe was escorted down, Situ Mingyue looked at herself in the palace courtyard and saw that she had tanned chrysanthemums, Ning Lan came and went in the courtyard, Situ Mingyue looked at her and said,

"Why haven't Jing'er and Xiangxin come back yet?"

Ning Lan shook her head,

"I don't know, I went out in the morning and haven't come back until now."

Situ Mingyue was puzzled,

"Send someone to see,"

Then a little maid ran in,

"Niangniang is not good, Xiangxin and Sister Ning Lan were punished by His Majesty."

When Situ Mingyue heard this, she was anxious and asked,

"What's going on?"

The little maid shook her head and said,

"Today, sister, they went out to deliver things, and they met Your Majesty as soon as they arrived at the door, the slave maid was far away, and I didn't hear what I said, I just knew that Your Majesty was very angry, and let people pull Sister Xiangxin and Sister Ninglan down, and they entered the palace of the concubine."

"Come on, send a sedan chair,"

Ning Lan was also very anxious,

"Niangniang, this is your majesty's punishment, don't act recklessly."

Situ Mingyue looked at her,

"What can I do then, just let them both get beaten?"

Ning Lan shook her head, helpless, Situ Mingyue came to the place where Situ Jinghe was punished, Situ Jinghe had already suffered half of the punishment, and his face was very pale, Situ Mingyue roared,

"Stop it!"

The palace man stopped, and the eunuch who was in charge of the punishment came over and said with a sneer,

"Please Niangniang, this is Your Majesty's will, Niangniang can't stop it, otherwise it will be a great crime to disobey the holy order."

Situ Mingyue sneered,

"I don't know father-in-law, what crime did these two people commit and they want to be executed?"

"These two palace people bribed the palace people, violated the palace rules, and clashed with the holy driver."

Situ Mingyue frowned, she looked at Situ Jing, Situ Jing's face was pale, looking at Situ Mingyue and shaking her head, Situ Mingyue's heart was horizontal, ready to see Your Majesty, Situ Jing suddenly shouted weakly,

","

Situ Mingyue turned her head to look at her, and shook her head at Situ Mingyue with a pale face, Situ Mingyue felt that there was a steel plate crushing her heart, that is fair,

"If Niangniang has nothing to do, please go back, the palace people are ruthless, don't hurt Niangniang's eyes."

Situ Mingyue gritted her teeth and didn't speak, Ning Lan pulled her arm,

"Mother, don't force yourself."

Situ Mingyue didn't speak, glanced at Situ Jinghe and Chengxin, clenched her fists, turned around and left.

When Situ Jinghe was sent back at night, the person had already fainted, and the punishment in the palace was heavy, and twenty rods could make people miserable, let alone forty rods. Situ Mingyue immediately asked people to bring all the medicines, and after applying them to the two of them, they calmed down, both of them were dizzy now, and they couldn't ask anything, Situ Mingyue returned to the main house, she was in a low mood, and Ning Lan combed her hair,

"Niangniang, there will be more such things in the future, don't think too much, we are slaves, how can we be less punished."

Situ Mingyue was silent for a while before saying,

"I know, but I said I wouldn't let you suffer, but now, I'm ......"

Ning Lan shook her head,
