Chapter 9 The concubines of the royal palace
Ruoxin had heard of that there was a maid who was too close to her, and she was nicknamed her nickname according to what the little girl said, but she was heard by Qingyun and committed the following crimes, and slapped 20 boards for the crime of disrespecting the master.
Ruoxin knew that the little girl remembered this incident, and she had scruples in her heart, she reached out and pinched the fat girl's face, and said with a smile: "Mr. is here to teach Ah Soft and Ah Xian, and he is also your master, so calling you is a close meaning, and there is no disrespect, your Aunt Qingyun will not beat Mr. Pull." Looking at the little girl's ignorant eyes, Ruoxin smiled and said, "Or does Ah Ruan really want Mr. to call you the county lord of Keluan?" ”
"Are you really okay?" The little girl's eyes narrowed slightly, she smiled sweetly, and her slightly chubby little hand was on Ruoxin's arm and refused to let go. "Then the gentleman's name is Ah Soft, Ah Soft likes to hear Mr. call him that."
Ruoxin looked at the little girl's dependent gaze, her heart was warm, and she also smiled and said, "Okay, Ah soft." ”
The seven-year-old girl in front of her is the daughter of King Ying Ning and the late Princess Guan Jingru - Ying Hongke, she and Ying Hongxian are twin brothers and sisters, and they are also the eldest son and eldest daughter of King Ying Ning.
In addition to Ying Hongxian and Ying Hongke's two children, King Ying Ning also had a son Ying Hongming, one year younger than them, born to his earlier concubine Xie Huaiyun, when Ying Hongming was five years old, for some reason, Xie Huaiyun annoyed King Ying Ning, and since then he has been left in the cold to the hospital, and her child Ying Hongming was handed over to the wife of the West Courtyard Ruan Xiyan to raise.
Ruan Xiyan and Xie Huaiyun were brought into the palace together by King Yingning after they fell in love with the people, and at that time, Guan Jingru had already died. Ruan Xiyan and Xie Huaiyun's personalities are static and moving, and serving King Ying Ning complements each other. After entering the mansion, Xie Huaiyun is a beautiful lady in Jiangnan, with a shy and introverted personality, and passively accepts the favor of King Yingning, but her docile and humble temperament similar to Guan Jingru makes King Yingning a little more pity, while Ruan Xiyan is charming and charming, and has a keen mind, so she can take the initiative to win the attention of King Yingning.
Ruan Xiyan came from a humble background, when she entered the house, she was despised in the backyard, and after Xie Huaiyun was indifferent to the backyard, she became more and more favored by the prince, although she had not been pregnant for many years, she was still favored and was named the lady of the West Courtyard, and the prince even handed over a son to her to raise, and people no longer dared to be despised.
Ruoxin has seen Ruan Xiyan once, and her impression is a little vague, but she can vaguely feel that she is powerful, even if she is a woman with both beauty and scheming, it is no wonder that she can break out of her own world in Yingning Palace.
King Ying Ning sent someone to take care of Ying Hongxian and Ying Hongke's concubine Qingyun Ruoxin had also seen her, and she was a woman with a good appearance and appropriate advance and retreat. From her words, it can be seen that she admires and is loyal to King Yingning, and she puts King Yingning first in everything, but she has never gone wrong, and it is nothing more than a dowry maid who can make King Yingning love for a while.
In the palace for more than half a month, Ruoxin found that Qingyun was really concerned about the care of the two children, but it was at the behest of King Ning, and she acted as a mother, so she had a little more sense of responsibility, but less sincere warmth. Guan Jingru died early, and King Ying Ning was not a qualified father, although the two children did not lack food and clothing, but they obviously lacked the care of father's love and mother's love.
King Ying Ning was ordered by the emperor to marry the daughter of the prime minister as a side concubine more than a year ago, but he did not have the slightest good impression and enthusiasm for political marriage under the interests of power, and he was relatively not interested in the newly married side concubine.
After completing the task that the emperor ordered him to complete, he was still intoxicated by the sound of dogs and horses. The concubine in the backyard is jealous of him, as long as he doesn't bother him with some trivial things, he is happy to watch the excitement.
Although as a father of three children, in Ruoxin's eyes, he really does not have the consciousness of a father.
In the days of getting along with the two children, Ruoxin gradually fell in love with them, although as a child of the Wang family, it is inevitable that there is a little pampering, but she does not lose her kindness, as long as she bets more on them, they will have a little more dependence and joy in their eyes, which makes people love from the heart.
Ruoxin was recruited into the palace to be their husband, just to be able to find the soul stone in the Yingning palace more conveniently, but now, she really likes them.
In the past, because of the Bai clan training, in her heart, the son of the priest was destined to assume the responsibility of the Bu clan at birth, but she was helpless, but she didn't feel too much. She doesn't have any other expectations for her children. Now, after really getting in touch with those two children, she suddenly felt a little distressed about the child in her belly who was burdened with the responsibility of the mission before she was born.
"What are you thinking, sir?" Seeing that Ruoxin had no sound for a long time, Ying Hongke gently touched Ruoxin's face and asked.
Coming back to her senses, Ruoxin reached out and pulled the little girl's hair with a smile, "It's nothing." It's so late, why are you still here? On weekdays, before the sun sets, you start to cry out that you are hungry, why are you still waiting here today? ”
The little girl pouted slightly, "My brother didn't eat either, he was punished by his father today, and when he came back, he locked himself in the room and ignored Ah Soft." ”
"What's wrong?"
Ying Hongxian was already polite, humble and sensible at a young age, although he was not as favored by King Ying Ning as Ying Hongming, but he had never been punished, and now it sounds like something is wrong.
Ying Hongke also looked slightly confused, Ruoxin looked at the few maids who followed her, and those maids all lowered their heads, looking a little embarrassed.
Well, wait for her to ask Ying Hongxian in person.
While she was thinking, the little girl stretched out her little hand and squeezed Ruoxin's hand and asked, "Sir, can I skip class tomorrow?" ”
Ying Hongke stared at her with a pair of bright star-like eyes, as if she only needed to say the word "no", and the bright star would fall and dim.
"Negotiable." Ruoxin smiled and said, "But can you tell Mr. what the reason is?" ”
"Because Uncle Ah Soft will come tomorrow." Hearing Ruoxin say that it could be discussed, the little girl said happily: "Ah Soft hasn't seen Uncle Xiaotian for a long time, I miss him so much." ”
Uncle Xiaotian?
Ruoxin was stunned for a moment, and came back to her senses for a while.
The little girl's mother is Guan Jingru, who is now the child of the Dongheng Guan family, and she is also Guan Jingtian's sister.
In other words, Guan Jingtian is coming?
