When he came out of the east courtyard of Langjing Palace, Ruyi saw Li Concubine standing at the gate of the opposite courtyard.

When she was a palace maid, Ruyi asked Concubine Li to say goodbye, but she only met in a hurry by chance and didn't say anything more.

Now that everyone is a concubine, when they meet, their eyes touch, and there is no reason not to come forward to speak.

The green sleeves supported Ruyi, glanced at the beautiful concubine, and lowered her eyes.

Ruyi stabilized his mind and stepped forward to say hello.

Concubine Li's eyes fell on Ruyi's face, and she said quietly: "Qianchang has a good feng shui there, there is a fourth prince, and there is such a promising person as you." ”

Ruyi knew that there were few concubines in the palace who looked at her pleasing eyes, and Concubine Li served around Concubine Hui, and she should accept Concubine Hui's thoughts, so naturally she didn't have a good face.

However, they are all the daughters of high-ranking families, and their self-cultivation does not allow them to say vulgar words that damage their identity, and they are all noble in their words and deeds, even if they are sarcastic, the tone is always light, and only the girls raised by military generals like Rong Concubine are a little more casual.

She didn't answer Concubine Li's words, she stood aside and listened silently, but fortunately, Concubine Li didn't mean to talk to her, and waved her hand to let her go first.

On the way back to the palace, Green Sleeves took a breath and whispered: "Concubine Li is so powerful, the slave maid was looked at by her, and she didn't dare to breathe." ”

Ruyi bowed his head: "The ladies are extraordinary in their temperament." ”

Green sleeves realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he didn't know how to come back, so he glanced at Ruyi anxiously, and saw that her expression was calm and not displeased, so he swallowed his saliva worriedly.

He has been serving by Jingchen's side for the past two days, and as soon as he returned to the west courtyard, he saw that the reward of flowing water had also arrived.

The joy in the heart is real, and so is the apprehension.

The emperor's favorite is the top of a thousand catties, and the two days are still reasonable on the fresh head, if there are more, I am afraid that the days will not be so good.

Ruyi knows in her heart that she can't be overly greedy for love, and she can't let her sister worry about her every day.

When he saw Ruyi coming back, Hongye was no longer angry, and called Green Sleeves to help collect things, and he was busy asking the little eunuchs to drink hot tea, and he was very good at handling things.

Desheng didn't drink, stood far away and watched Ruyi smile, and when he was about to leave, Ruyi got up and said a word to Desheng, bothering him to take off his brand.

Desheng was stunned, not quite understanding: "The little master is being liked by the emperor." ”

Ruyi lowered his eyes: "If you are not happy, I am afraid that I will disappoint the emperor." ”

Desheng understood, and said with a smile: "The slave understands, the little master can rest in peace." ”

Ruyi thanked her with a smile, watched the group wait away, and turned around to see Hongye come out to help her: "Concubine Rong has just come." ”

"I told her about the day after tomorrow." Ruyi glanced at Momiji, "Did she scold you?" ”

Momiji smiled: "I've heard it, it's over, if there is no thing, there is nothing, and she didn't make trouble, and when I sat for a while and saw that you didn't come back, I was bored, so I left." ”

Ruyi has a bad premonition in her heart, Rong Concubine's temperament, even if the embroidery is done, she is afraid that it will be sideways, last night Hongye said that she was looking at herself at the gate of the courtyard, and she didn't know what it was like to feel uncomfortable, and she wanted to make up for it.

"I've embroidered some things." When Hongye entered the room, he showed Ruyi a few handkerchiefs on the table, "The emperor summons you at night, and I can also drive you out for you, so you can go with confidence." ”

Ruyi sat down and fiddled with the sewing box: "I won't go tonight." ”

Momiji paused for a moment and put the things in his hand on the table: "Why?" ”

Ruyi raised his eyes: "It's too ostentatious, it's easy to cause trouble, I have to know how to advance and retreat." ”

Hongye frowned, then let go, and sat opposite Ruyi inadvertently: "Your own grace, you can think clearly by yourself, it's okay if you don't go, a man can't be fed at one time, hang your appetite, in order to remember you for a long time." ”

Ruyi listened, and didn't agree with Momiji's words, but this is what Momiji realized in the knitting bureau, and it was also her own, and Ruyi didn't refute her anything.

After lunch, after a nap, the green sleeves burned the house warm, leaned against the screen and dozed off, the red leaves embroidered slowly with her, occasionally said a few words, and time passed quickly.

After dinner, knowing that he asked Desheng for help, there would be no more holy will, but he still couldn't help but look out the door, and when he realized that he didn't know what he was expecting, Ruyi laughed at himself fiercely.

is obviously also greedy for the emperor's tenderness and like, since he has made such a sensible appearance, why be hypocritical and disappointed?

·

The candles were lit, and the cries that were common at night in Chengxi Palace also sounded intermittently.

After the full moon, the four princes cried less, but they always didn't sleep well at night, and there were often times when they made a fuss, for fear of disturbing Concubine Hui's pillow, and even the room of the four princes moved a little farther away.

It was useless to have dinner Hui Guifei, so she was reading a book on the candlestick at this time, and her eyes were colder than the moonlight.

The emperor's will was to come over before dinner, and when she saw Li Shuanglin, Xia Lan was also excited, and asked if the emperor was going to come over for dinner, but Li Shuanglin said no, and Xia Lan felt that it was not right.

After meeting with Concubine Hui and saying that the emperor often came to visit the four princes every five days, Concubine Hui has been silent until now.

Xia Lan herself was trembling, and asked several little palace maids in the house to stand by the door, making some noise to startle the concubine, and she will be ordered to explain here today.

After replacing it with a brighter candlestick, Concubine Hui put down the book in her hand and sat up slightly: "Who did the emperor turn today?" Or did Lee agree? ”

Xia Lan hurriedly said: "The emperor just went to the queen mother's place, and he returned to the Qianzheng Palace after a short sitting, and no one was called." ”

Concubine Hui raised her eyes and chuckled: "How much ability does this palace have, the abacus came to the palace, it was really a good dog who was always by her side. ”

Xia Lan stepped forward to bring tea to Concubine Hui: "A girl from a cheap girl's background, just a few days, Niangniang thinks she is a clown, just smile." ”

The look in Concubine Hui's eyes was always very deep, she was very angry, and she rarely got angry for no reason: "If she wants to come, come here, the emperor's will, the palace will naturally continue." ”

After saying this, Concubine Hui put down the cup in her hand heavily: "It's delicious and delicious, so that others don't have that amount of energy in the palace, and even a small Chang can not accommodate it, which ruins the reputation of the palace." ”

Xia Lan understood the meaning of Concubine Hui's words, and said yes.

·

Early the next morning, Concubine Rong stepped on the point and went to the west courtyard.

Green sleeves didn't dare to slack off, so they went to the main hall to sit down first, and after serving a good tea, they were waved aside by the lotus leaf and disgusted.

Ruyi casually curled her hair and came out, and when she saw that Concubine Rong hadn't finished her salute, Concubine Rong opened her mouth first: "What about things?" ”

A tone that owes her is very arrogant.

Ruyi glanced at the red leaves, and after a while, the box was lifted out, and it was neatly placed inside, which was the embroidery that Concubine Rong said she wanted earlier.

Lianye took the purse and embroidered handkerchief and showed them to Rong Concubine one by one, the more she looked at Rong Concubine's face, the more wrong she became, she simply threw the box on the ground, and said coldly: "Li promised, are you perfunctory to me?!" ”

Ruyi took a deep breath, grabbed the red leaves that were about to get angry, and knelt down: "The concubine doesn't dare." ”

"Don't dare?!" Concubine Rong pulled her purse and threw it in front of Ruyi, "I asked you to embroider some good patterns on it, what are you embroidering?" So elegant, full of flowers and plants, why, can't embroider the love of mandarin ducks, and the flowers bloom, and the heart is jealous, right?! ”

Ruyi pursed her lips and was about to answer, when she heard the red leaves next to her snatch the words and said: "Rong Concubine Niangniang has to be reasonable, this embroidered is the four gentlemen of Meilan Zhuju, the emperor is so noble and valuable, the things sent by the mother are naturally generous and calm, they are all things in the daughter's boudoir, how can the emperor wear them?" My little master thinks about my mother, my mother is good, and on the other hand, I want to say that my little master is jealous, so I really ignore it! ”

Ruyi was taken aback, and hurriedly moved her body to protect the red leaves: "This girl was spoiled by the concubine, and she didn't have the intention to speak against it, and asked the mother to be gracious." ”

Concubine Rong squinted her eyes and sneered twice: "Okay, there are many reasons, I see that this girl is sharp and sharp, she will speak very well, and she will give me a heavy slap twenty times!" ”

Lianye received the order, and as soon as he waved to the courtyard, a few little eunuchs who came with Concubine Rong dragged the red leaves out.

Momiji is also a bearable one, and he didn't shout because he was stunned.

Ruyi clenched the corners of her skirt, I don't know why Hongye suddenly said these words, she is not reckless and can't help it, and she is not a person who can't see the disparity in strength and is rash, now Concubine Rong has caught the wrong place and is determined to beat someone, and she pleaded for mercy, but it made matters worse.

Concubine Rong waited for Ruyi to speak for her girl, saying that she knew that the twenty slaps were over, and Ruyi didn't say a word, Concubine Rong scolded in her heart, she didn't have any temperament! I can't find a reason for another seizure!

In fact, she didn't know that it was better to embroider like this, originally with her skills, it was enough to embroider the four gentlemen of Meilan, Zhuju, and Ju, and she really wanted to embroider a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water with complex silk threads, but she had to be seen by Jingchen at a glance.

She is just picking up trouble, she wants to give Ruyi a little bit of power, and now that she has beaten the people around her, Concubine Rong still has to be more comfortable, and after picking up some of the things that are not picky, she put down a cruel sentence if the emperor doesn't like to make you look good, and let Lianye pick up all the things and leave.

Ruyi got up and asked Green Sleeves to help Momiji in and sit down.

Because Ruyi was always injured earlier, Jingchen specially gave a lot of ointment, and rubbed it at this time, I am afraid that it will take two or three days to reduce the swelling, the green sleeves are weak, and Fang Cai's posture has already been scared to work, and at this time he is crying while giving medicine to Hongye, which makes Hongye upset and scolds her: "I was beaten and you were not beaten!" What to cry about! ”

Ruyi looked at her with a calm face: "Hongye, you know that Concubine Rong came here on purpose to be angry, what are you doing against her?" Didn't you handle it well when she came here yesterday? Let's bear with it, everything is over. ”

Momiji interrupted her: "I'm a slave, you are the master, I can naturally bear it, she scolds you like this, I naturally want to stand up for you." ”

Ruyi fell silent and stared at the red leaves for a long time.

She bared her teeth and let the green sleeves twitch, and Ruyi didn't see anything else.

Maybe she's too careful.

Ruyi stood up, went inside and found a few more bottles of medicine, and let the green sleeves be wiped on, after all, there was no harm.

Fortunately, Concubine Rong didn't come to look for trouble after that, the days in the palace were peaceful, and after Ruyi let Desheng withdraw the sign that night, Jingchen didn't come to the west courtyard again, this courtyard was lively for two days, and it fell silent like other places, staring at Ruyi's eyes were withdrawn, and most of the palace still laughed at her voice.

But Ruyi doesn't care about these, she often goes to be with Qianchang, avoiding Concubine Rong and not conflicting with her, even if she is not summoned by the emperor, she is still very happy every day.

When it came to the five-day period that Jingchen promised, Qian Chang was carrying his uneasy and expectant heart, and got up early to put on makeup.

Thinking that Concubine Hui must have gotten up late and the child had to breastfeed, Qian Chang sat nervously in the room for an hour before getting up and going out.

Xiangcui and Mama Zhao accompanied Qian Chang together, and when they arrived at the palace road of Chengxi Palace, Xiang Cui also comforted Qian Chang and asked her to do it according to the etiquette.

Fortunately, the people of Chengxi Palace were in the way of face, although they were not very enthusiastic, but in the end, when they entered the door of Chengxi Palace, they should not have slackened.

After Qian Chang sat down with a salute to Hui Guifei, he didn't know how to place his hands and feet to be comfortable, Hui Guifei had a light attitude, neither said anything too much to her, nor said something mean and unpleasant to embarrass her, just held his head and took a nap, and asked people to bring the four princes.

In the moment of waiting, Qian Chang has been sweating layer after layer in the palm of his hand, Chengxi Palace is gorgeous and atmospheric, as far as the eye can see, there are precious ornaments that Qian Chang has never used, and even Hui Guifei's shoes are made of purple wood, which is very valuable.

The four princes are raised in such a place, and they are often sad and sad, and they do understand that it is indeed much better than following such a mother as themselves, and the future of the leader will not be too bad.

When the nurse came in with the four princes, Qian Chang almost didn't sit down to get up, her eyes followed the four princes, and finally carefully fell on Hui Guifei's face, seeing Hui Guifei lazily open her eyes and look at herself lightly.

Qian Chang lowered his eyes in a panic, and heard Hui Guifei's lazy voice sounding: "Give Qian Chang a hug." ”

In a word, like a gift from heaven, the nurse turned around to Qian Chang's side and handed the child to her: "Little master, be careful." ”

Qian Chang wiped his hands clean, took the child at a loss, felt the weight of his arms, and smelled the unique smell of milk on his body, Qian Chang almost couldn't help but cry.

This is the image she has wanted to keep in her dreams for a thousand times, and now it has finally come true.

The fourth prince slept in a daze, and Qian Chang didn't dare to make too big a move, just hugged and looked at the child, and he could smile cleanly and purely, and he didn't feel that time had flown by at all.

Hui Guifei sat up a little, and saw Xia Lan leading someone to come in with pastries and tea, and said to Qian Chang slowly: "Come and use some pastries and tea, it's still early, you have to sit for a while and watch slowly." ”

Qian Chang was stunned for a moment, and looked at the child in his arms reluctantly, but the nurse reached out to hug him, so he had to let go, was helped up by Mama Zhao, and sat opposite the concubine.

The pastry on the table is a style that Qian Chang has never seen before, with a touch of pear white in the powder, made into the shape of a lotus, which is extremely exquisite.

Concubine Hui took the lead in taking a bite of a piece of her mouth on her side, and then raised her eyebrows to see that Qian Chang was there, and the appearance of eating with you in the palace seemed to see that Qian Chang was afraid of her doing things.

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Qian Chang's face, thinking that there were so many pairs of eyes watching, everyone knew that she was here with Hui Guifei, what kind of stupid did Hui Guifei have to be to dare to act openly in the tea and pastries? It was also a piece of pastry in front of him and ate it slowly.

"It's called lotus drunk." Concubine Hui put it aside halfway through eating, and picked up the tea, "It's the emperor's favorite food." ”

Qian Chang Zailian claimed that the pastries were soft and fragrant, and she also liked them, because she was at a loss and didn't know what to do, so she unknowingly ate two more pieces of belly.

Since she gave birth, she has been in poor health, sleep is not good, often dream of the night the child was taken away, always heartache after waking up, although the spirit is good, but most of the time Qian is often afraid of Xiangcui They are worried about the strong support, today's spirit, but even more for the four princes.

She has thousands of knots in her heart, and she only hopes that she can untie this knot by holding the child now, so that she can sleep peacefully for a few days, listen to Ruyi's words, and make up for all the deficits in her body.

"The incense here in this palace is all calm, look at your face is still a little haggard, think less at night, rest more." Concubine Hui stared at Qian Changzai's face for a while, and suddenly opened her mouth to talk about this.

Qian Chang thanked her again, and Concubine Hui asked her to drink tea to moisten her throat, and took a few sips.

After hugging the four princes for a while, Concubine Hui seemed to finally couldn't bear so much, so she didn't pretend to keep people anymore, so Xia Lan sent it out like this.

Qian Chang turned back three times in one step, Xia Lan frowned and said: "The little master looks at it this way, why don't you invite the emperor and queen back and move to Chengxi Palace to live together!" ”

Qian Chang was choking, seeing that Xia Lan's face had endured so hard, he could only bury his head and walk forward quickly.

Sent to the door, Xia Lan said again: "After the end, we can see each other many times, our mother is generous, and it is already excellent to be humble and always there, and I always have a number in my heart." ”

After that, he was blessed with a little body, turned around and went in.

Xiang Cui glared at Xia Lan's back and looked: "Phew, it's a bully thing!" ”

Qian Chang dragged Xiang Cui's hand and hurriedly walked forward: "Hui Guifei is so indifferent to me, I am more down-to-earth in my heart, it is natural for her to feel uncomfortable, Zuo is just something like that happened earlier, Hui Guifei wants to keep the emperor's affection and change her reputation, if she is really enthusiastic about us, I will be scared to death." ”

Xiang Cui bowed: "The little lord is right, it's good if we can look at the four princes, although Hui Guifei doesn't like us, but the slave looks at the four princes but raises them very well, the little lord can be regarded as relieved." ”

Qian Chang nodded, and his always bitter smile also brought two points of comfort: "As long as the four princes are good, everything is good." ”
