"Ke Changzai is a smart person, and he knows that the only one who can be relied on in the palace in the end is Niangniang." Chunmei ordered someone to collect the tea cup that Ruyi had drunk.

The queen flicked the tea lid in her hand: "She has always remembered the Wen family of the cold palace, and she hates Concubine Hui to the core, so she naturally knows how to choose." ”

"Keeping Ke Chang here is equivalent to sticking a thorn in Hui Guifei's heart, Niang Niang just needs to sit on the mountain and watch, and see how Ke Changzai personally sends Hui Guifei's handle up." Chunmei chuckled.

"She's not stupid, the situation will change in the future, I don't know what I'll think, this palace keeps her, naturally there is another purpose." The smile on the queen's face had already been retracted, and the things that Ruyi had weight in Jingchen's heart made it really difficult for her to look at it with an extraordinarily tolerant mood.

Jingchen is willing to spend time for her, willing to pursue the truth for her, and even set up a puzzle for her to be rewarded with lanterns, these queens have already checked, starting from the embroidery matter The queen mother came forward to maintain it, and all the clues she tried to deceive herself before became a thorn in the bottom of her heart.

She knows Jingchen, and after being by Jingchen's side for so many years, she knows that Jingchen's heart has never been on any concubine.

Whether it is respecting each other like a guest, or being a little pet, it is not enough to make the queen really take it to heart.

But Jingchen was in her heart, and she couldn't sit still anymore.

If Jingchen has someone who wants to be by her side, then what she can keep in this life is a cold title and position, but what she wants is still to be able to be by Jingchen's side, stand side by side with him, even if she can't be the person he loves the most, she must become his most important person.

Even if Jingchen didn't love her all his life, at least he never loved others.

But now it's different, the queen looks at Ruyi as an eyesore, once Jingchen is in her heart, if it is not a big mistake, it is impossible to change her mind easily, and now the queen mother is also standing on Jingchen's side, there is the meaning of leaving Ruyi by her side to teach, this girl was originally the concubine selected after Jingchen took a fancy to it, once she was enlightened and taught, coupled with her talent and intelligence, it was almost impossible to make her make such a fatal mistake, so the queen decided to go another way and seek some side things.

Chunmei naturally couldn't guess what the queen really thought in her heart, but when she heard the queen say this, she felt a little surprised: "Ke Changzai can still turn the sky on his own?" ”

The queen shook her head, she didn't want to say anything about it, she asked about dinner and fireworks, and decided to go and see it herself, and then go to Yongshou Palace to wait for the queen mother to get up.

Before leaving the palace, the queen also went to the backyard to see Yuelang, and saw that the palace maids were taking her to make kites, so she left Zhaoyuan here to accompany her, so that Yuelang was careful not to be pierced by bamboo thorns.

However, Yuelang is on the rise, it is estimated that he did not hear what the queen said, and the queen did not continue to repeat, Zhaoyuan can hear it clearly, he will take care of Yuelang.

And Ruyi came out of Fengyang Palace and walked not far away, and met Zhaoxiang who was waiting on the way back to the palace for Ruyi, Ruyi was talking to Mama Zhao about Qinglin and Qingxi's errand, and suddenly he saw the figure of the person, and the whole person was alert.

Seeing who it was, Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Why is Zhaoxiang's father-in-law here?" ”

Zhaoxiang saluted Ruyi, grinned, and his eyes narrowed into a slit: "The slave is waiting for the little master here, and he was ordered to go to the West Courtyard to invite the little master, and Miss Xiangcui said that the little master went to Fengyang Palace, and the slave waited here far away." ”

Zhaoxiang is the chief eunuch beside Concubine Yi, I have seen it a few times, Ruyi always remembers that he laughed like a chubby beckoning cat, and felt that the name Zhaoxiang was not suitable for him, if it was called Zhaocai, it might be closer.

But it was just a little bit of her own thoughts.

"Yifei Niangniang? Where can I go, please? Ruyi felt strange, why did she have to invite her today, it seems that it is really unusual to eat lucky dumplings, and her name is everywhere in the palace.

Zhao Xiang smiled a little, and said truthfully: "At this time, the concubines are all in the imperial garden, the master originally thought that everyone was gathered to talk, and someone came to invite him, but he didn't see the little master for a while, and after asking, he knew that no one was ventilating the little master, so he sent the slave to invite." ”

Ruyi bowed his head, knew it in his heart, and smiled not too much: "They don't look down on me, so naturally they won't come to invite, and I also asked Zhaoxiang Gonggong to thank Concubine Yi's kindness for me, such an occasion." ”

"The master expected that the little master would say this, so the slave brought the words." Zhao Xiang interrupted Ruyi's rhetoric and continued to shirk, "The master said, everyone is a concubine in the harem, and they will all sit together to eat tea and talk in the future, the little lord is also the emperor's concubine, they don't look down on the little master, don't the little lord himself look down on himself, and he doesn't even dare to go to the tea party?" ”

Everyone is Jingchen's canonized concubine, regardless of the family background, Ruyi's current position is even higher than that of Hai Changzai, Zhou Changzai and Cao Promise who did not have the title, who organized this tea party today Concubine Yi didn't want to delve into it, but it was clear that she wanted to squeeze out Ruyi and leave her alone in the cold.

Concubine Yi doesn't value this dispensable tea party, but she just can't get used to these people's childish behavior, so she must let Ruyi come over and sit down with Ke Chang's identity in a dignified manner.

Since they were already uncomfortable like this, they didn't mind making it even more uncomfortable.

One by one, it is not good to spend some time on how to be filial to the Queen Mother, how to keep oneself in peace, but there are many careful thoughts that cannot be put on the table.

After Zhaoxiang finished speaking, he waited for Ruyi's answer, he was not in a hurry, this tea party would last until dinner, and the chatter between the little masters of the mothers and mothers was always unclear about the new and old grudges, and family disputes.

It's tiring to listen to, but it's inevitable.

Ruyi finally nodded, and on the way to the Imperial Garden, Ruyi asked, "Are all the concubines there?" ”

Zhao Xiang bowed: "Yes, except for the queen mother and the little master, the queen mother wants to serve the queen mother, and she generally won't come at this time, so... ”

It was deliberate indeed.

Ruyi is not surprised by this, since becoming Jingchen's concubine, she has experienced too much disregard and white eyes.

When she said yes, everyone told her to be patient and to remember her position and position.

In the word self-preservation, she has learned and paid too much, which should be remembered for the rest of her life.

The Queen Mother's hard work was not in vain, she could understand that if she couldn't keep her original intention on the road in the future, she would one day disappear in this palace wall.

It's not a bad thing to suffer a little loss when you're young, but it's not her character to suffer a loss without remembering it.

Zhao Xiang saw that Ruyi was silent, thinking that she felt uncomfortable because of her words, so she hurriedly said something interesting to make Ruyi laugh, but it wasn't very funny when he said it, at least Ruyi couldn't quite understand, so the atmosphere was more solidified for a while, Zhao Xiang laughed dryly, or gave up, if he continued to say this, it was estimated that Ke Chang was going to be even more annoyed.

He himself was entangled in his heart, in fact, Ruyi did not turn into the imperial garden as he thought, the slaves and maids around the palace master walked back and forth blindly, even in winter, the flower room still cultivated all kinds of bright and brilliant flowers, this morning I went to the queen mother to see more than five kinds of flowers in the house and flowers on the windowsill, and when they withered, they were replaced with a pot, and they were continuously supplied.

At this moment, all the ladies sit together in the same way, the gazebo is surrounded by thick felt, leaving only the place at the entrance to place the carbon fire, there is no wind at the moment, but it is very warm.

The direction of Ruyi's coming was obscured from sight, and the sound of laughter could be heard from afar, and the slaves and maids along the way saw Ruyi's arrival, and they all saluted her with a bad face.

When she was about to arrive, the voice in the pavilion stopped abruptly, as if someone had suddenly cut it with scissors, and she should have known the news that she had arrived.

Ruyi stepped up the short staircase, raised his eyes, and took in the expressions that everyone had seen.

Sitting on the opposite side is Concubine Hui, and Concubine Ming is slightly attached to Concubine Hui, but Concubine Yi herself moved her position a little to the side, looking like an outsider.

Because it was a pavilion, everyone sat in a circle, and it seemed that everyone was not very far away from whom, and Hai Changzai almost turned half of his body to look at Ruyi, and sneered back: "I really dare to come." ”

Cao promised to be afraid that she would offend people by speaking first like this, so he reached out and tugged at her sleeve, signaling her not to fall into the handle in front of so many people.

Ruyi stood at the last step and didn't go up until Hai Changzai was reluctantly pulled up by Cao Yu, and even took Zhou Chang on the side to meet her.

Ruyi accepted the gift promised by Cao, and returned to the two of them to pay a flat salute, and then took advantage of such a small step, and the concubines shouted one by one, and they continued to see the courtesy until Hui Guifei.

Mama Zhao didn't remind Ruyi of anything, she had already written down every concubine, and she didn't make a mistake.

Hui Guifei looked at Ruyi, and inadvertently glanced at Concubine Yi: "It's fast for you to invite someone." ”

Concubine Yi answered, swept her eyes and looked, this group of people seemed to be sure that Ruyi would not come, not only did they not arrange a place at the beginning, but Ruyi had finished her salute at this time, and there was still no one to add a place to her.

But Concubine Ming, a bad person, was used to it, and asked: "Where is the embroidery stool that Ke is always there?" ”

Hai Chang was quick to talk, frowning and said, "Who knew she was coming, and there was no special preparation for the Imperial Garden." ”

After speaking, Hai Chang looked back at Ruyi: "I want to work hard to wait, the minions are going to move, I'm afraid it will take some effort to come back and forth, we didn't expect Ke Chang to come here, and I thought that I would follow the queen mother to serve the queen mother, or I would accompany the emperor, Ke Chang is very busy now." ”

These words are not only sour, but simply a great dissatisfaction.

Concubine Yi yawned and said lazily: "Ke Changzai was invited by this palace, it seems that this palace is not fully thoughtful." ”

Hearing Concubine Yi's voice, Hai Changzai finally shivered and restrained a little.

Her words represent most people's thoughts, most of their eyes are unfriendly and vigilant, and their faces are full of words that you are not welcome here, presumably with the same thoughts as Hai Changzai, thinking that she is a villain, and she is here to be in the limelight to respond to them.

After Concubine Yi finished saying that, she stood up and beckoned to Ruyi with a smile: "Little Ruyi, come here." ”

Hui Guifei's expression changed, she probably knew what Concubine Yi was going to do, she originally wanted to stop Concubine Yi, but she thought that the more she persuaded her, the more she tried to do it, she just pursed her lips in the end.

The concubines sitting here, only Cao promised to be polite to her, Concubine Ming is her main palace mother, it is already very good to help her ask just now, after all, this is such a situation, Concubine Ming is difficult to do herself, the only one left who despises everyone here, and I will smile and stretch out her hand to her, and only Concubine Yi Niangniang.

Ruyi walked towards Concubine Yi, and before the words could be spoken, Concubine Yi was directly pressed to her place and sat down, and the whole audience was shocked, even Concubine Li, who had been silently drinking tea with her eyes down.

Why is Concubine Yi, who has a strange temperament and is not easy to get along with, so good to such a little girl as Ruyi?

Everyone can't understand it, but they are afraid of Concubine Yi's deterrence.

She patted Ruyi's shoulder, bent down slightly to get closer to Ruyi's cheek, and said softly, "Sit with peace of mind." ”

After speaking, Concubine Yi stood up straight, with some red fat powder at the end of her charming eyes, she evoked a light smile, and said with a lazy smile: "Since it was called by the palace, there is naturally no reason for her to stand and wait, so let's wait in the palace." ”

Concubine Yi's gaze swept lightly towards Hai Changzai, and Hai Changzai swallowed his saliva unconsciously.

She's really unlucky.

Today's party,Originally, I was going to invite everyone to come over to enhance the relationship.,There was such a tricky guy in the harem suddenly.,Hai Chang knows that everyone has ideas in their hearts.,The best way is to get together.,Everyone temporarily agrees on a front for a unified goal.,This is Hai Chang's initial idea.。

Concubine Yi has been unsociable for a long time, and she is too lazy to come to such a party, and Hai Chang is sure that Concubine Yi will refuse herself on the grounds of being bored and not interested, so she will invite her face and don't want to let Concubine Yi have room to play on the topic.

Who knew that this rakshasa actually came today, and he came to come, sat for a while with a reluctant face, and called the bad luck of Ruyi again.

Now it's okay, the social gathering she planned to deal with Ruyi was disrupted, now don't talk about it, I'm afraid that many concubines are scolding her in their hearts for not knowing how to do things, it's just a lack of heart, I'm afraid it's already started to sit on pins and needles, and I want to go back.

After doing this, she can only break it one by one, and it will take a lot of twists and turns, maybe someone will stab her with today's events, Hai Changzai is really angry and has a headache.

She dared to find a reason to be unhappy, but she didn't dare to find a reason to be a concubine.

Concubine Yi stood like this, except for Concubine Hui and Concubine Ming, where did everyone else dare to sit, they all stood up and stood up to accompany the punishment station, many people have begun to frown and look at Hai Changzai, with an expression of what are you doing, Hai Changzai can only turn around irritably and ask: "Where is the embroidered stool?!" Haven't moved in yet?! ”

The slave behind him was also wronged, thinking that this is not what you said the little master, but he didn't dare to say anything, listening to Hai Chang's tone, he couldn't have it just now, but now most of them can have it again, so he hurriedly asked someone to carry the embroidery stool over, and asked Concubine Yi to sit down.

This can be regarded as a solution to the embarrassing situation, knowing that Concubine Yi protects Ruyi, the tea is also quickly served, and the banquet is still silent, and no one can open their mouths to talk down.

Concubine Yi didn't care if they chatted or not, she handed half of the peeled citrus to Ruyi's hand, and said softly: "Do you blame Bengong for letting you come?" ”

Ruyi smiled: "If you blame Niangniang, you won't come." ”

This is a good thing to say, and it is very appealing to Concubine Yi's appetite.

In this palace, those who can really go up do not have to rely on the strength of others to show their value.

When you stand tall enough, you won't care about these discordant voices anymore.

In the end, this party was organized by Hai Chang, and she was more anxious than anyone else when the scene was cold for a while, seeing that all the nobles and concubines were not something she could afford to offend, even if she felt uncomfortable, Hai Chang still had to continue this party.

It didn't last long because of the silence, Hai Chang laughed, and let the strange baby come up for everyone to see.

Today's year, many ladies are carrying the things at the bottom of the box to be presented to the queen mother, and the mother who is always in the sea is prepared, and her 'baby' will be kept by herself, and the concubines will have fun.

The Pearl of the South China Sea is a difficult thing to find, the most common in the palace, it should be the East Pearl, the size is small, it can get better at a time, it is a good material to make pearl jewelry, sometimes you can meet a little bigger, but it is not as famous as the Pearl of the South China Sea, this kind of pearl has always been unavoidable, the size is bigger than the night pearl, it is colorful, it is particularly good-looking, although it will not shine at night, it is another scenery under the candlestick.

This kind of thing is not precious, but it is rare, and when it was put up, even Concubine Hui leaned forward, and her eyes were a little unavertable.

Concubine Rong was the most resistant to these gadgets, so she stood up and stepped forward to watch carefully, and asked a little envious and a little sour: "Where did Hai Chang get this?" In the early years, my father went to the South China Sea, and he couldn't find it all over, looking at this pearl with excellent color, who would be willing to shoot? ”

Hai Chang is a little proud, quite a little comparison between rich girls, but there are many women here who are more prominent than her, so they are still more tactful and polite in speaking: "I am just lucky, Rong Concubine's sister's father went to the South China Sea a few years ago and did not meet, it just so happened that my cousin is familiar with a merchant in the South China Sea, the merchant has an accident at home, and he urgently needs a sum of money to turnover, knowing that I like these things, it was sent to my father after several rounds, and now I can see it with the sisters." ”

Concubine Rong didn't feel comforted at all, but pursed her mouth, she didn't have this luck, Hai Changzai was lucky, what kind of rhetoric is this.

Concubine Rong was a little unhappy, but she was reluctant to see the pearl of the South China Sea in front of her, so she didn't say anything, just stared at it a few more times.

Hui Guifei looked at it for a while and then retracted her gaze, she has had the Pearl of the South China Sea, but it is not as good as the color of Haichang in this one, so she can let Hui Guifei take a few more looks, but it will not enter Hui Guifei's eyes, what good things have she not seen over the years? Later, in the evening, any lady will bring out rare goods, and Hai Chang is here, which can only be said to be an appetizing dish.

However, this thing is nothing to Concubine Hui, and it is still very lethal to the concubine next to her, and the situation became lively all of a sudden, and after watching it together for a while, Concubine Rong proposed to go to the bright hall outside the pavilion to have a look.

Yu Concubine and Yu Guiren also said that they were all old people in the palace, and they had also seen the pearl of the South China Sea of Hui Guifei Niangniang, when they even half-jokingly said: "The concubine still remembers that the pearl of the concubine Niangniang was placed in the sun, and I don't know if Haichang will be more beautiful than Niangniang's pearl in this one." ”

Hai Chang felt sorry for her own things, she finally got such a good thing, naturally she didn't want to take it to others to move around, what if she fell.

But since they have all been taken out to show off, it seems that he is a little family and he is so protective that he is a little family, so it is better not to take it.

Yu Concubine mentioned the one of Hui Guifei, Hai Chang was also a little competitive, although she had not seen it, but she was still very confident in the one in her hand, she could only drip blood in her heart, with a smile on her face: "The concubine has not seen it, but such a baby is naturally nothing to the concubine Niangniang, it is said that the pearl of the South China Sea will emit a rainbow-like color in the sun, everyone go and see it together." ”

After she finished speaking, she was originally going to take it out by herself, but Concubine Rong had been keeping very close, and when she heard her let go, she immediately picked it up and went outside.

Everyone followed to see the strange, and the pavilion was soon empty.

Ruyi has never seen such a good thing, she just looked at it from a distance, and she has understood the preciousness of the Pearl of the South China Sea, which can be regarded as an eye-opener, and she retracted her gaze and sat at this time, but she still couldn't help but look outside, and it was difficult to hide her curiosity.

Hui Guifei's gaze has been looking at Ruyi since she withdrew her gaze from the Pearl of the South China Sea, and when she saw her like this, she said softly: "It's the first time Ke Changzai has seen such a thing, right?" ”

Ruyi raised his eyes and replied calmly: "Yes, I have seen many concubines since the New Year's Festival, and I have never seen anything strange. ”

Concubine Hui bowed her head, even if her tone was softened, her eyes were always cold when she looked at Ruyi: "Since you're curious, why don't you go out and see?" ”

She asked this knowingly, and made a special trip to embarrass Ruyi.

Concubine Yi slammed the tea cup in her hand on the table and sneered: "Look, why don't you look, Xiao Ruyi is waiting for me to drink tea, and I am tired that the concubine cares about us so much." ”

After speaking, Concubine Yi dragged Ruyi and stood up.

She was originally too lazy and didn't want to squeeze with people, so let Hai Chang stand out later, and just sit in the pavilion and watch?

As a result, Concubine Hui had to say this, so Concubine Yi led Ruyi outside to see.

Not only to look, but also to stand at the front to see.

Concubine Yi leaned forward, naturally no one dared to stand in her way, the beads were held by Concubine Rong at this time, she was happy, and she saw Concubine Yi smiling and stretching out her hand to herself, and she was deflated as soon as she was angry, and obediently handed the beads to Concubine Yi's hand.

Concubine Yi couldn't look down on this thing, so she casually threw it to Ruyi next to her.

Since they have all come over, just to see what it means, hold it in your hand and weigh it, you will know that it is a broken bead, nothing unusual.
