I didn't eat anything for dinner, Ruyi was worried, afraid that Jingchen would ask about Concubine Rong, if she told the truth, Concubine Rong would inevitably have trouble after that.

But Jingchen also didn't speak for a long time, and asked about the red leaves, as if he had just forgotten it, Ruyi's heart was still hanging.

Momiji followed the cloth and served the vegetables, but it was decent, except for the one just now, he didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

After dinner, Jingchen sat with Ruyi for a while, saying that the queen's health is not very good today, and it is the middle of the month, so she has to go and take a look, otherwise the queen mother will have a headache.

Ruyi bowed her head: "The queen's daughter is sick, and with the emperor's company, she will definitely be able to get better faster." ”

Jingchen was amused by her, and felt that she looked serious about everything she said, which always made people feel convinced: "I am not Hua Tuo's reincarnated miracle doctor, what miracles can I do with me, but I still look at the ability of the hospital." ”

Ruyi shook his head again and again: "The emperor's words are not right. ”

Wrong?

Jingchen raised his eyebrows, he has proclaimed himself the prince and married so far, except for the father and queen mother who said that he is not right to these three words, no woman has ever dared to talk like this in front of him.

This little girl who doesn't know the height of the sky, but her eyes are shining, and her coquettish appearance makes him angry, so he can only smile helplessly: "What's wrong with me, you can tell me, if you can't make a point, I will punish you." ”

Ruyi blinked: "The emperor is the true dragon son of heaven, and he is the sweetheart of the queen's mother, the mother is not happy, and she must be dragged down by the body in her heart, and she can't be happy, but if the emperor goes, the mother sees that the emperor cares, and she must be happy and sweet in her heart. ”

Jingchen was stunned for two seconds, laughed out loud because of Ruyi's words, pulled her into his arms, and pinched her face: "I see that you used to be an honest person, but now you are more and more sharp-toothed, there is no reason to have some reason in your mouth, you help the queen to speak like this, I left you over, are you not angry?" ”

Ruyi smiled: "What is there to be angry about the concubine, the emperor can come to see the concubine, that is, he still thinks about the concubine, the concubine is already very content, and the emperor and the queen are in love, it is the blessing of the subjects of the world, the concubine has the mercy and protection of the queen, in order to have such a good main palace lady as the concubine, the concubine is a good person, the concubine has not read any books, and she can't say any big truth, but the concubine knows that good people have good retribution, and the queen will be able to be healthy and get better soon!" ”

Silly.

What's more, it's not that he won't come.

Obviously, this little girl quietly asked someone to take the brand first, and he sulked all night for this, and he couldn't understand what she was going to do.

Or the second day to go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye, the Queen Mother asked about Ruyi, Jingchen was angry and told what happened, the Queen Mother laughed when she heard it, saying that this girl was interesting, and asked Mo Yan to check it carefully earlier, but she was afraid that the daughter of the small family had a lot of thoughts, and she would be indispensable when she went to the dragon bed, and she broke the rules of the palace, and the charm of the saint tried to ascend to the sky in one step, Understanding introverted is the way to last for a long time, it is not easy, and because of this, the Queen Mother was not very satisfied with Ruyi, but now she feels like a well-behaved child, and persuaded Jingchen to say two sentences, so that he remembers the truth that if he likes it, he should cherish it, pampering is too much, such a little girl will be blown by strong winds, come slowly, and the days will be long.

For the queen mother's remarks, it was only a few days later that she rushed over, and seeing her happy look, Jingchen felt a little proud.

At this time, she spoke seriously, Jingchen stared at her and smiled, hugged and kissed again: "Although you haven't studied, you understand the truth that many people who have studied can't understand. Speaking of which, Jingchen didn't say anything more, and pulled her up, "When you are free after this while, I will teach you to read." ”

Ruyi stood up and supported Jingchen: "My sister taught me, and now I can write my own name and the emperor's name." ”

A proud tone, as if he had worshiped a terrible master.

"Oh?" Jingchen stopped, originally about to leave, but because of Ruyi's words, he became interested, "Qian Chang is teaching you?" You write to me to see if there's any improvement from that night. ”

"Now?" Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little weak, "The concubine hasn't practiced yet." ”

Where did all that energy go? Jingchen pretended to be serious: "Right now, a good student is not afraid of temporary examinations, Qian is often teaching you wholeheartedly, I naturally want to see if you have studied with your heart, if you are stupid, don't waste my good books, and you don't need to learn anything in the future." ”

was so provoked by Jingchen, Ruyi took it seriously, there was no joke in her heart, if she didn't write well, what would she do if she didn't have a book to read in the future.

Thinking so, Ruyi didn't say more, he went inside and moved the pen and ink out, spread it on the table, and said, "The concubine will be ugly." ”

Jingchen looked stern and nodded his chin: "Write." ”

Ruyi sat down at this time, took a few deep breaths, grinded himself a little, rubbed his wrist again, and cautiously glanced at Jingchen, seeing him staring at himself, he immediately put away his little eyes, held his breath and concentrated on the pen and ink.

She wrote according to what Qian was teaching, and the posture of holding the pen had just been corrected, and she could have been able to pinch it steadily, but Jingchen stared at her so closely, her ears were hot, her heart was confused, and her hands were naturally unstable.

But it was a good thing to write down all six words, and after putting down the pen, Ruyi got up and moved to Jingchen's side, a little expression that wanted to be praised was so cute, that Jingchen almost didn't hold it, and he couldn't wait to hold her and pinch her soft little face.

This word. . . Yes, you still have to practice.

But it can be seen that she has also worked hard, the talent is good, take your time, you Qian is often a teacher for her, the two are already close, so she can have a place to go every day, and she doesn't have to worry too much about it every day.

"Some progress." Jingchen watched it for a long time, and Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the little girl who was nervous and was about to cry, so he pursed his lips and smiled, not teasing her, "Follow Qianchang to study hard, next time I have time, I will find you a few simple and reasonable books." ”

Ruyi was flattered and said happily: "Really? Thank you, Your Majesty! ”

She was happy, Jingchen was also infected, she felt happy, and after coming out of the West Courtyard, she was still happy.

Li Shuanglin followed Jingchen's side, the emperor smiled, and he also smiled so much that his face was folded one by one: "When the emperor came back to Li promised to come here, he was all smiling." ”

Jingchen looked sideways, the smile on his face narrowed a little, and he raised his hand and touched the corner of his mouth: "Do I have it?" ”

Li Shuanglin said repeatedly: "Yes, yes." ”

Jingchen's gaze flickered for two seconds, and then he bent down into the warm sedan chair and headed towards Fengyang Palace.

As soon as Jingchen left, Ruyi called the green sleeves to put away the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and Hongye stood by the door, originally wanted to help, but was stared at by Ruyi, lowered his eyes weakly, raised his hand and touched his hair bun, but did not move.

Ruyi retracted his gaze and went to the inner room to sit down.

Green sleeves are fast, and when he finished packing his things and went out, he glanced at Momiji, and was frightened by Momiji's warning in his eyes, and hurriedly ran away.

There is no one else, Hongye's heart is surging, and after half a ring, he takes a deep breath and walks inside, seeing that Ruyi has taken out her needle and thread to embroider, but unfortunately her heart is not quiet, and a few stitches go down, always making mistakes.

Momiji took the fire fold, lit a few more candlesticks, and whispered flatteringly: "It's night, don't embroider, be careful with your eyes." ”

Saying that, he came to take the embroidery in Ruyi's hand, Ruyi clenched it tightly and didn't give it, and he didn't raise his eyes: "Red leaves, when I was in the knitting bureau in the past, I always treated you as a good sister, I am really happy that you can come to me, but your behavior during this time is really a little too much, I obviously told you, don't let the emperor see the injury on your face, if the emperor asks, go and ask Rong Concubine, don't think about living in peace in this courtyard. ”

Hongye stood awkwardly and said: "Didn't the emperor say anything, you, it's just that your temperament is too soft, you used to rely on me to protect you, and now it's natural, what can I think, don't I just think about you, aren't we all okay?" Concubine Rong is so arrogant and domineering, blindly putting up with her will only get worse! We are just wronged and suffered losses now, but if we don't want to find a way to find someone to call the shots for us, we will be harmed by her sooner or later in the future! If you don't tell the emperor, I'll help you tell the emperor! Let them know that the emperor now has you in his heart, and not everyone can bully you! ”

After hearing this, Ruyi suddenly remembered what Qian Chang was doing, she raised her eyes, her eyes were a little red, and she let Hongye swallow the second half of the sentence back.

"What kind of net worth am I, I know in my heart, Rong Concubine, there is a father and brother in the family who do things for the emperor, and it is such a noble family, I have to be a concubine, I am just a lonely talented daughter, my father found a way, and wanted me to find a good family in the future, so I was sent to the palace, thinking that I would be blessed by the heavenly family for a few years, and then go out of the palace, it is different." Ruyi stared at the red leaves, she rarely mentioned these words, but at this time she couldn't help but say, "When I was still serving by Qianchang's side, I saw it and experienced the power of Hui Guifei, Qianchang is different from me, she is also a scholarly family, a family of officials, after the show, the concubine who entered the palace seriously, she is still so precarious, what can I do?" ”

Red leaves lowered their eyes, and said in their hearts, that is humble and stupid, if you have Jun's grace, you will have to hold it in your hands, as long as you grasp it firmly, who dares to bully like that?

But Hongye didn't say these words, she sighed and took Ruyi's hand: "Look at you, talk well, how to mention these sad things, okay, it's all my fault, I'm reckless and impulsive, I didn't think about it, if you get angry, you will punish me, I will be punished, I will not be like this in the future, okay?" Just listen to you. ”

Ruyi was stalking in her heart, she didn't know that Hongye had always been pretentious and a person with a heart, she wanted to show her face in front of the emperor, Ruyi felt nothing, if the emperor really took a fancy to her, it was also a blessing she earned.

She was afraid, afraid that Hongye's mind was in the wrong place and went the wrong way, she only knew a few people in the palace, and Ruyi thought greedily, since everyone is together now, they will go down together for a long time, and they will always be able to boil it out.

Hongye apologized, coaxed Ruyi's hand and slapped her face, touching the red and swollen face, Ruyi couldn't bear it, and finally sighed: "I'm afraid that you will come out like this, but it will make Concubine Rong hold a grudge." ”

I'm afraid that her mind is not in the small world of this West Courtyard at all.

I'm afraid she's gone astray.

Momiji laughed: "What are you afraid of, don't be afraid, I can still hurt you?" ”

Ruyi spit out the turbidity in her chest and shook her head, Hongye saw that she was not angry, so she pulled Ruyi up, let her prepare for the bath, and boiled water with green sleeves.

When she got to the back, Momiji instructed Green Sleeves to boil water first, so that she was not allowed to talk nonsense in front of Ruyi, she went to get something, and she would be back soon.

Green Sleeves said nervously: "Sister Momiji, it's getting dark, don't run around." ”

Red leaves glanced at her: "I'll go back to the house!" Come in a moment! Don't shout! ”

Only then did the green sleeves shut up and look at the figure of Momiji and leave.

Red leaves glanced at the wishful curtain, closed well, this small courtyard is just the three of them, red leaves immediately touched the wall with the hem of the skirt.

The crack in the bottom wall was chiseled a little bit, just enough to squeeze in a piece of paper, which was blocked by dirt, and it had to be carefully touched to pull it out.

Momiji took out a bag of things sandwiched inside, patted off the mud on it, stuffed it into his sleeve in a panic, and then picked up the soil to cover the gap, and then got up and walked quickly back to his room.

·

In the next ten days, Jingchen only came to the West Courtyard three times, either for lunch and a nap with Ruyi, or after dinner, he was invited by the ladies of various palaces and courtyards for various reasons.

Desheng sent a few notebooks, saying that the emperor loved to practice in the past, so that Ruyi could collect and write, and when the things of the New Year were decided, the emperor would come to check it when the time came.

Qian Chang also went to Chengxi Palace two or three times over there, and his spirit was good and bad, Ruyi specially invited Xu Chao to come over to help with the consultation, and the conclusion was the same as that of Imperial Doctor Liu, in recent days, Qian often has nightmares more and more frequently, and his mental energy is insufficient during the day, and he often makes up for sleep, so that he is a little afraid to sleep at night.

After drinking the medicine and getting a needle, it was always over and over again, seeing that it was about to pass the New Year, and Qian Chang didn't dare to alarm the queen's mother, for fear that the harem, which was finally happy, would get sick again, which would annoy people.

Fortunately, Ruyi is always with her companion, and when the spirit is better, the two of them read and write, or make embroidery together, cut and cut window flowers, although the body is always repeated and not good, but time passes quickly, and it is still very happy.

Qian often talks about the four princes, there has always been a happy smile on his face, more than a month has passed, the four princes are heavier, and now he doesn't cry much, he always looks around when he is awake, everything in this world is very strange to him.

Aside from anything else, not to mention whether Hui Guifei has a pimple in her heart, whether she is really close to the four princes, but as an adoptive mother, she should give it to the four princes, and it should be the best, even the nursing mother and mother-in-law are equipped with four or five, each of them is specialized in a certain use of the four princes, and all kinds of strange things in the palace can be used to make the four princes happy.

It's just that because the Su family pressed too hard before, Jingchen had a dislike for her, Concubine Hui Guifei had her arrogance and nobility in her bones, and refused to bow her head first to see Jingchen in the Qianzheng Palace, she thought of the pain of losing her child, and always had a pimple in her heart, and wanted to wait for the emperor to come and resolve it for her.

Jingchen has been unhappy for a long time, he hasn't found a place to be angry about the matter of Bixian Pavilion, Hui Guifei loves to hold it like this, it is Yiqian Changzai has come several times, and she hasn't met Jingchen once, at first she thought that she was unlucky, but later she understood, it was not a matter of luck or unluck, it was Hui Guifei herself who did not see the emperor.

Ke Qian often watched that Concubine Hui was breezy and light-hearted, as if she didn't take grace to heart at all.

Thinking about it, Qian is often smiling bitterly, with the identity of Concubine Hui, even if the emperor doesn't come, no one in the harem dares to give her a cold look, people and people are still different after all, you can't always compare them together, it's easy to be psychologically unbalanced.

After a few days of delay, Ruyi moved Jingchen's calligraphy and books to let Qian Chang teach her to read, Qian Chang was still laughing at her, and now she is really imperial, and she is going to be a female champion, so serious, I am afraid that the emperor will love and pity her when she sees it.

Ruyi smiled and Qian was often playing, she held the book, blushing, but still said firmly: "These are all given to me by the emperor, I can't live up to it, the days in this harem are so long, if I can only grind and pour tea for the emperor in the future, I can only make clothes for the emperor, how boring it should be, I don't like my own." ”

Since he decided to become the emperor's concubine, standing by the side of the Son of Heaven, he still has to look like a little bit after all.

Otherwise, why should she?

It doesn't matter if others laugh at her, she will slowly make up for it, others think she is vulgar and uneducated, what flower arrangement, tea, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all of them are black eyes, it doesn't matter, learn a little bit, you can always learn.

She is not afraid of what others will say about her, she is only afraid that she will even give up her own retreat, then she really despises herself, and others are even more unscrupulous.

The calligraphy sent by the emperor was written very seriously, and he must insist on writing the last one every day, and the pen became more and more stable.

After finishing writing, he put down the pen and stretched his waist, Ruyi remembered that today was the day when Qian Chang went to see the four princes at Hui Guifei, she just got the small silver ring made by Tone Mansion this morning, thinking that she would take it to Qian Chang later later, she only has this one to take out her hand now, and it is always her own mind.

Just after walking for a while to relieve fatigue, and was about to sit down to continue writing, there was a sudden sound of rapid running outside, and the green sleeves stumbled, knelt straight to the ground, and moved their knees in a panic, shouting with a crying voice: "Little master! Incredible! The four princes are injured! ”
