060, don't be happy
Ruyi was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "Let go of me." โ
Su Jingyi was looking hard, how could she let go, and no one was passing by here, so she didn't have to hide anything at all, and said coldly: "You cheap thing, it's not enough to seduce the emperor, and you still want to provoke the prince?!" โ
Ruyi also lowered her face when she heard this: "What's the matter, Miss Su failed to seduce the emperor, and she was annoyed and angry?" โ
Su Jingyi's eyes widened and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about!" โ
Ruyi broke free smoothly and rubbed his wrist: "Then what are you talking nonsense again?" Everybody has a mouth, you can say it, I can say it, right? โ
Su Jingyi was choked by Ruyi, and she did it that day, that is, because she couldn't say it. Su Jingyi was angry when she thought about it, and at this time, she was blocked by Ruyi and couldn't refute it, her hands itched, and she wanted to fight.
Anyway, my mother is also in the palace, and my sister is protecting her.
With this thought, Su Jingyi forgot Concubine Hui's previous advice, gritted her teeth, and evil thoughts churned from the bottom of her heart.
She reached out and gave Ruyi a hard push on the shoulder.
Before the smile on his face could bloom, it turned into panic and fear in the depths of his eyes.
Ruyi's hand instantly grabbed back, bringing Su Jingyi down together.

In the noisy and lively lobby, a small palace maid hurriedly squeezed over from the crowd behind.
She pulled the corner of Xia Lan's clothes, and then whispered a few words in Xia Lan's ear, and then Xia Lan's face changed and she pulled her fiercely: "Why do you look at Miss?!" โ
The little palace maid had already lost her blood on her face, and she was pulled by Xia Lan like this, and she was about to lose her footing.
But what's the use of scolding them now, Xia Lan took a deep breath, put away the uneasiness in her heart, and asked the little palace maid to go out quickly, so as not to let others see this, and then went to Concubine Hui's ear and said what she heard.
Concubine Hui was still leisurely listening to Concubine Ming teasing the Queen Mother, she personally drew a picture of Fushou Shuangquan to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was looking at it.
As soon as Xia Lan finished speaking, the tea in Concubine Hui's hand was crooked, spilled on her skirt, and even the teacup was broken at her feet.
The lobby was suddenly quiet for two seconds, and the Queen Mother also looked over and said softly: "Concubine Hui, what's wrong with you?" โ
Hui Guifei suddenly had too many thoughts in her mind, the queen mother didn't keep up with the question, and someone came to wipe her skirt after half a ring, so Hui Guifei came back to her senses and sat up a little straighter.
But before she could speak, someone had already come outside, and hurriedly went to the Queen Mother's side and told her what had happened.
The Queen Mother's originally soft expression suddenly became cold, put down the painting of Concubine Ming in her hand, got up and left.
The rest of the people didn't know what was going on, but they all stood up and sent off the Queen Mother, and when the Queen Mother was gone, they asked each other what was going on.
Concubine Hui followed with an ugly face and waved away the palace people around her, and after half a ring, everyone in the lobby knew that it was Li Yu and Su Jingyi who rolled down the stairs for some reason.
Fortunately, they didn't stand tall, and both of them shouldn't be seriously injured.
Many people whispered, but they were a little sympathetic to this Li promise, what happened earlier had already spread in the circle, Su Jingyi relied on Hui Guifei not to salute, it was originally wrong, but Li promised to punish her more severely than her, it was really wronged.
suffered such a big loss, and Li promised to endure it.
Today's incident was most likely provoked by Su Jingyi, her temperament, just don't provoke others, who would dare to provoke her?
"I heard that this Li promised to be a duty, he has been in the palace for so long, and he has always lived by his identity rules, if he is really a bad person, how can he run an errand by the side of the Queen Mother?" Someone said with a smile, a little gloating about the Su family's affairs.
Soon a voice echoed, and I don't know what to say, and laughed.
When the queen saw that Concubine Hui was also gone, she stabilized the ladies and said that the hour was not early, everyone should rest early, and they would have to live in the palace for a few days anyway, so they were not in a hurry to finish their words in such a moment today.
The queen spoke, everyone naturally dispersed, coming out from this side, the queen thought about it, or sent Zhaoyuan to deliver the news to the Qianzheng Palace, and she herself was in a hurry to go to the queen mother's side to see.
When she arrived at Yongshou Palace, the Queen Mother had already taken off the ornaments on her head, Aunt Mo Yan was pressing the Queen Mother's head, the Queen Mother came in, and the Queen Mother just asked her to sit, and then closed her eyes and was speechless.
Seeing that the Queen Mother had a headache, the Queen didn't dare to speak rashly, and waited until Aunt Mo Yan helped the Queen Mother sit up, and then the Queen asked, "Didn't the Queen Mother call the two of them over to ask?" โ
The Queen Mother closed her eyes: "What do you ask?" At this time, it is a fearless dispute, you blame me, I blame you, let them be calm and calm, and today is the first day of the New Year's Day, if I call them to ask, and make people panic, it's just that, it's not early, you can go back and rest. โ
The queen looked at the queen mother's face, thought about the queen mother's words, and said: "What the queen mother said is, then ask again tomorrow, it's really late today, and it's not good to toss back and forth like this." โ
The Queen Mother opened her eyes and said softly: "In the final analysis, you are the queen, the mourning family is old, you don't care about these bad things, you will lose your spirit when you are old and toss for a while, you will recuperate in the palace tomorrow, you can do it yourself." โ
When the queen heard this, she didn't say anything more, and after saluting the queen mother, she got up and left.
Whether this matter is the head picked by Ruyi or Su Jingyi, the Queen Mother is ready to leave it alone.
It seems that there is no favoritism on either side, but in fact, the Queen Mother's heart has long been biased to Ruyi's side.
The Queen Mother only said that she didn't care, and pushed everything on herself, and when Jingchen had to take care of it, could she still not let it?
What's more. The Queen Mother also knows the things between her and Concubine Hui.
After such an unruly mess last time, Su Jingyi didn't know how to restrain herself, and now not only the emperor could not tolerate the arrogance of their Su family, but even the queen mother ignored it.
On the way back to the palace, the queen slowly sorted out the meaning of the queen mother, and the corners of her mouth hooked a shallow smile, since the queen mother handed over this matter to her, it must be handled fairly.
Royal grace, when you are happy, when you are angry, when you are angry, it is a disaster, and the Su family, who is arrogant and domineering with merit, should also understand the difference between monarchs and ministers.
"The Queen Mother can't stand it." Chunmei waited beside her, and said softly, "In the end, she is also the one who has lived in front of the Queen Mother for a while, and Concubine Hui Guifei doesn't know how to restrain her sister, and it is always her all kinds of things to enter the palace every year, before it was just a quarrel between young ladies, and a few words of reprimand are just forgotten, but now they dare to do it, and if they don't teach it well, they don't know what to do in the future!" โ
The queen narrowed her eyes: "It's good to make trouble, and it's better to make more trouble." โ
She originally thought that Prince Xun was here, Su Jingyi was mostly chasing Prince Xun, and she wouldn't pay attention to Ruyi anymore, who knew that she actually made a move again, thinking of the ugly face of Concubine Hui just now, the queen felt more than a little more comfortable in her heart.
Chunmei continued: "Is that Niangniang going to summon them over for questioning?" โ
The queen shook her head: "The queen mother doesn't want to make the palace uneasy, let's talk about it tomorrow." โ
ยท
In the Chengxi Palace.
Concubine Hui just heard Xia Lan's reply, saying that the queen had come out of the queen mother's palace and had already returned to the palace, and it didn't look like she was going to summon someone to ask her again.
As soon as Su Lu heard this, he immediately stepped forward in three steps and two steps, pulled up Su Jingyi, who was kneeling on the ground and crying, and nervously touched her knee: "Isn't this okay?!" The queen mother and the queen are not called, this matter must have been revealed, what about a good New Year's Festival, is it possible to make trouble? โ
Seeing that Su Lu's family was about to hurt her little sister again, Concubine Hui said angrily: "Is there only one thing in my mother's heart that she kneels painfully or not?" If it's a quarrel or something, forget it! Naturally, I protect her like my mother, but what about her?! โ
Hui Guifei has always followed Su Lu's family to love this sister the most, but Su Jingyi is now becoming more and more rampant and unruly, which makes Hui Guifei really angry: "It's just that we are too spoiled by her, so that she thinks that no one in the world can control her, where is this?!" This is the Royal Palace! It's not our house! It's not a place for you to hit people casually! Heaven is strict, should you be a child's play? The queen has hated me for many years, how can she not ask? She's trying to get me by the end of the day! It's good for you to hurry up and send it to the queen, this is my good sister! โ
Su Jingyi hadn't seen Sister Yan get angry like this, and she even forgot to cry, originally Su Lushi had already stood up when she pulled her, and then knelt at Hui Guifei's feet again, and stretched out her hand to put it on Hui Guifei's knee: "Sister, Jingyi knows it's wrong, don't be angry." โ
Su Lu whispered beside him: "She is your own sister!" Before anyone else said anything, you punished yourself first! Didn't Jingyi also say it, that Li promised not to have any good intentions, and seduced the prince and was poked by her, and the two had a verbal dispute, so they pushed twice, besides, she was not injured alone, Jingyi also fell, you look at the arms and legs, fortunately, they were not injured on the face! โ
Su Lu was still chattering about it, and talked about how he struggled to live under the He family back then, and how he held Su Guoxiang's heart, so that the two sisters did not miss their homework, and they could study with their eldest daughter, and after saying that she was choked, she talked about how she tried her best to climb to the position of the wife and earn them a good future, Hui Guifei listened to it and tightened her heart and closed her eyes.
"You said that you like the third prince, and I also planned to marry into the palace for you, and now you and your family complement each other and achieve each other, the Su family is in full swing, isn't the emperor and queen mother okay with you? You are so noble now, you want whatever you want, your sister's little mistake, is it possible that you can't hide it?! The more Su Lu spoke, the more energetic he became, so he simply sat down and said to Concubine Hui.
"I know, you didn't have a good time in the palace back then, but you chose it yourself, and now that you have more or less come out, you have to plan more for your sister, I will be your two daughters, you were just a side concubine, is it possible to ask your sister to follow your path? She must be a concubine for Prince Xun! What is that Lee promise?! When you see people, you want to climb, your mind is full of thoughts about climbing up, and the people who come out of the mud pile don't look at what kind of cheap billet they are in their bones, and they are used to using some foxes to seduce them! The emperor and Prince Xun are still young, where have they experienced this, and they don't even know that they are confused! Jingyi is young, she can't stand it and is impulsive, what's wrong with the two sentences, Li promised that she didn't want to be shaken out of those things, she should shut up and be honest! After Su Lu finished speaking, he reached out to pull Su Jingyi again.
Su Jingyi was a little weak-hearted, and refused to get up with her face down.
Concubine Hui was upset by Su Lu's words, as if she was a concubine in the palace, how smooth her life was, her hard work and grievances were not said, does it mean that there is no more? !
She is just like this by nature, and she is cold in her bones, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't have waves in her heart, and she won't feel uncomfortable if she hears too many words.
She is just not good at expressing herself, and she is not willing to express too much, and she feels like a resentful woman when she talks too much, and she feels that she can understand herself.
It's a pity that most of the feelings in this world are maintained by saying it clearly.
It's not that Concubine Hui really doesn't understand this truth, it's just that she can't convince herself, and she can't get over the hurdle in her heart.
For example, now, she wanted to refute Su Lu's family, and even lost her temper and questioned her, but in the end, all these fluctuations were just churning in her heart, and when she reached her face, there was only a pool of calm water.
She really couldn't open this mouth, and her sense of powerlessness and anger pulled, and in the end, Concubine Hui just asked Su Jingyi: "Did she really seduce the prince?" โ
Su Jingyi bit her lip and didn't say anything, and Su Lushi chattered again: "What are you doing to scare her so much?!" โ
Concubine Hui said coldly: "Am I scaring her?" If you come to the queen tomorrow, you won't be skinned alive? โ
Su Lu was dumbfounded all of a sudden, and he didn't pick it up.
Concubine Hui took the opportunity to ask again: "Did you really see Li promise to seduce the prince?" You have to think clearly before you say it, if the queen asks tomorrow and you say so, then Li promised to be misbehaving and executing him, but if you don't say it, then you are deceiving the queen and slandering the concubine, and you will not have a chance to go to Prince Xun's mansion in this life. Concubine Hui told Su Jingyi the consequences clearly, "You have to be careful and figure it out yourself." โ
Su Jingyi froze in place, and after a long time, she muttered with insufficient confidence: "I look like ... โ
Concubine Hui gritted her teeth: "Like?!" Is it up to you to decide right and wrong subjectively in the things of this world?! โ
Su Jingyi raised her eyes, with tears in her eyes and was about to cry again, she was yelled at by Concubine Hui, she felt uncomfortable, so she forcibly endured it again, and put aside her face and said nothing.
"The Queen Mother didn't call you for questioning immediately, and your words haven't been seen by others yet, which is really fortunate!" Concubine Hui was so angry that her eyes turned black, "You can follow me to the queen early tomorrow morning." โ
Su Jingyi's eyes widened instantly: "Sister! I don't want to go! โ
"I don't want to go either!" Concubine Hui stood up suddenly, "Who do you think I'm going to bow to the queen for?!" Not for you! If you still want to please the Queen Mother in the future, and you still want to marry in Prince Xun's mansion, you will go and receive the punishment yourself before the emperor asks about this matter! Reform and restrain a little, the palace is heavy, allow you to be so presumptuous again and again?! โ
Isn't what happened last time obvious enough?
Jingchen obviously protected Li Ruyi, but the Queen Mother gave the Su family this dignity.
But how much dignity does the Su family have?
How much humility can the Queen Mother have?
Again and again, again and again, can Jingchen really tolerate it?
She is Jingchen's concubine, she still has such a long life to live in this harem after all, although Hui Guifei hates Ruyi, but she understands the way to survive in this harem.
Jingchen is wishful in his heart.
Regardless of whether the West Courtyard will fall out of favor in the future, at least at this moment, Jingchen is protecting Ruyi.
The more they targeted Ruyi, the more she was hurt, and the more Jingchen would only feel distressed, the more she cared, and the more alienated she was from them.
Although Concubine Hui is not good at arguing words, she has already been stubborn once because of Su Jingyi and Jingchen last time, and if she doesn't retreat this time, I'm afraid that she will really lose the emperor's heart.
That's not what Hui Guifei wants.
She can spoil Su Jingyi as much as she wants, but there are some bottom lines that no one can step on.
"It's not that she seduced the prince, you ran to her to argue and make trouble, it was completely caused by your vexatious trouble, how long has it been since the last incident on the palace road? If you take the initiative to receive the punishment, the queen will not be too harsh on you, if you wait until Li agrees to confront you, one of the twenty boards is indispensable! "Hui Guifei's words have the element of scaring Su Jingyi, but if she doesn't scare her, what should she do if she breaks into a bigger disaster?
Su Jingyi was speechless, but she resisted in her heart, so she could only sit down and cry, Su Lushi went to hug Su Jingyi, and before she could speak, Concubine Hui had already strode outside.
Under the corridor, there were several palace maids and eunuchs, who had just been tortured at this time, and all of them were lying on the stool with pale faces, and when they saw Concubine Hui coming out, they all endured the pain and fell down to say goodbye.
Concubine Hui glanced at them coldly, didn't say anything, just let them go down and let these people look at Su Jingyi, but as soon as she ran up, she lost them all! This kind of thing happens.
At this time, in the small courtyard in the west of the Yucui Palace, Concubine Ming had sent ointment and had already left.
Ruyi hurt on the shoulder, and now the house is warm, and the medicine is being applied.
Xiangcui is still frightened now, and after watching at the gate of the courtyard for a long time, no one has come, and he came in worriedly: "I'm afraid there won't be anyone tonight." โ
Mama Zhao also frowned: "This Miss Su family is really bad, she actually pushed you like that!" โ
Xiang Cui was also very angry: "I'm afraid that she will reverse right and wrong again!" Concubine Hui and Mrs. Su will definitely protect her! When the time comes, I'm afraid that our little master will suffer again! Why! โ
Ruyi turned his face sideways and smiled at Xiang Cui: "No." โ
Xiangcui was stunned, thinking that Ruyi was comforting her, and said hurriedly: "How could it not!" Last time, the Queen Mother beat you like that! โ
"The Queen Mother took care of the Su family, let me endure a step, but in just a few days, such things happened one after another, and the Queen Mother tolerated it again, it was to insult the majesty of the heavenly family, and treat the rules of the palace as child's play. Ruyi had a determined smile on his face, "What is the dignity of a courtier compared to the majesty of the heavenly family?" If she dares to push me, don't think about it. โ
