Chapter 60
"Miss, the slave maid heard that the emperor will hold a family banquet in the Skylark Palace in the afternoon, and then the mother will be able to show off and kill the princess!" Liuli chattered in Sun Ruoruo's ear.
Sun Ruoruo listened to the words, and the hand that copied the scriptures paused.
"Family dinner?" Sun Ruoruo stopped his pen and took a sip of tea, "Are the other princes and princes taking their concubines?" β
"This ...... The slave and maid are unknown. Ruri stuck out her tongue.
At this time, the tortoiseshell hurriedly walked from the door, her face anxious, "Concubine Niangniang, the prince has something to say, ......"
"Say what?" This tortoiseshell usually speaks and does things very neatly, why is it up now?
"The prince said, you don't have to attend tomorrow's banquet, he wants to take the princess there. The prince also said...... "The tortoiseshell paused again, and she hesitated to repeat the original words to Sun Ruoruo.
"What did the prince say again, Sister Tortoiseshell, you should finish speaking, half of your sentence is about to die Miss and me!" Ruri interjected and urged.
Sun Ruoruo frowned, and said impatiently: "What else did the prince say, you repeated what you said, and the concubine can stand it." β
"The prince also said that you are a side concubine, and it is a joke to go." After the tortoiseshell finished quickly, she lowered her head, not daring to look at Sun Ruoruo.
"Ah......h
Who knew that Sun Ruoruo was not angry or sad, she picked up the pen and prepared to write a few more words, but she couldn't calm down, so she put down the pen in her hand. After telling Ruri not to talk nonsense, she asked Tortoiseshell to accompany her to the back garden to relax.
Her mood at the moment is indescribably lonely, every year she will accompany King Jing to the palace for a banquet, or temporarily take the place of the princess and walk around with other ministers and daughters, but those are because King Jing did not marry the princess, and now that he has his own princess, he naturally does not need her as a side concubine.
Sun Ruoruo's mood had calmed down when she copied the Buddhist scriptures, but because of Mei Changqing's words, she fell to the bottom again, and she couldn't lift her heart.
The tortoiseshell was by Sun Ruoruo's side, and she really felt embarrassed as Liuli said, although she was sent by the emperor to be placed by her side since she was a child, but after so many years, how could she have no feelings at all. Besides, Sun Ruoruo, a young lady, is really good to her and Liuli, even if she knows her true identity, she has never treated her harshly, and she has never spoken ill of her.
Only she has been struggling whether to continue to spy on her, or whether she should be completely loyal to her, after all, the emperor also holds her parents and family in his hands.
They can't help themselves.
The tortoiseshell saw that Sun Ruoruo was absent-minded and stumbled when she walked, for fear that something would happen to her, so she waited for her more carefully.
The two walked around the garden for a while, Sun Ruoruo felt a little tired, and her mood was much calmer. He told the tortoiseshell that he was going back, and Sun Ruoruo was tired of walking, so he walked to the side and rested on the smooth and clean stone for a while.
The tortoiseshell squatted down in distress, rubbed Sun Ruoruo's calves, and massaged the soles of her feet.
Sun Ruoruo was idle before he heard the sound of the surroundings. She vaguely heard someone talking behind her back against the rockery, so she motioned for the tortoiseshell to be silenced, and listened carefully.
"Have you heard, this time the emperor's family banquet, the prince is going to bring the princess to attend, not the concubine Sun." A slightly smug voice said.
"If you don't bring it, you won't bring it, what's so novel about this, the prince has a princess, and since the princess and princess got married, the princess has not entered the palace to see the ceremony, and it is right to take the princess to go." Another voice disagreed.
"Listen to me, the prince also said that Concubine Sun embarrassed him."
"Who did you listen to, Concubine Sun is not bad......"
"What's not bad, look at it, as soon as the princess came, she cut down the precious purple bamboo in her yard, and she didn't dare to say a word."
"Later, she had to kill her personal maid Liuli with a rod, didn't she also knock her head to the princess and beg for mercy?"
"I heard yesterday that it was in the princess's courtyard that I drank wine before I was punished and grounded by the prince again."
"In this way, it's very unfair to Concubine Sun?"
"What's unfair about it, people are concubines, in the main room, what is Concubine Sun, she is also a concubine when she is in the sky."
These words were really harsh in Sun Ruoruo's ears.
The tortoiseshell was angry and wanted to go over and teach them a lesson.
was stopped by Sun Ruoruo, she thought to herself, in fact, what these maids said was right, she was just a concubine, how could she fight.
But their next words made Sun Ruoruo a little annoyed.
"Concubine Sun is a paper tiger, just having the identity of the concubine of the General's Mansion, she even has to kneel down to the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion and please her in every way, but everyone ignores her, and gives her eye medicine in the blink of an eye, which is really stupid!"
"Besides, in the three years since she married into the mansion, she knew that she was a side concubine, and she didn't know that she thought it was a wandering orphan girl who the prince had received from, and Xiao thought about things that didn't belong to her all day long, but she wasn't disgusted by the prince, hum......"
"Shut up for this concubine!" Sun Ruoruo finally couldn't stand it anymore, trembling with anger, and scolded coldly.
"The side concubine Niangniang spares her life! The side concubine Niangniang spares her life! Several little maids got together, and when they saw Sun Ruoruo's figure behind them, they all knelt down and kowtowed in fear and begged for mercy.
Especially the person who said she was rejected just now, trembling all over, and even a pungent fishy smell came from her body.
"Tortoiseshell, slap me!" Sun Ruoruo's eyes were full of coldness, looking at these ants-like subordinates, she wanted to sit here and watch her mouth be broken.
Let's see if she dares to talk nonsense next time!
"Stopβ"
There was a coquettish shout not far away, and the person who came made Sun Ruoruo clench his fists.
