On the first morning after Luo Hansheng's expedition, Ruoyan woke up very early. According to the day of Qin Tian's supervision, tomorrow will be the concubine ceremony for her to canonize the concubine. Now she is the lord of the harem, and Concubine Shen is still guarding the tomb in the imperial mausoleum. I don't need to meet anyone, but I have to meet other concubines today.

Yesterday's incident was suppressed by Li Yizhe, and it was said to the outside world that Ruoyan missed his brother, which was a little disrespectful, but in fact, it was a gesture of affection and gratitude.

Ruoyan only felt funny when she listened to Xue Ying talk to herself. Obviously, he is in love with Luo Hansheng, but when Li Yizhe said this, he also showed a little affection. She picked up a gold-inlaid peony and inserted it in her bun, and asked Xue Ying with some sorrow: "Will the news from the front line be transmitted to Chang'an quickly?" ”

Xue Ying put a handful of gold-inlaid jade butterfly beaded hair combs for Ruoyan to wear, and replied to her with a light smile: "Hui Niangniang, it stands to reason that news should be sent back from time to time." If the war is deadlocked, the news may come back several times a day. If the mother is worried about the father, the slave may wish to find a few carrier pigeons for the mother? ”

"Pigeons?" Ruoyan's eyes lit up, "Is there such a thing in the palace?" ”

"Look at what Niangniang said, the Bird Division specializes in raising these birds, not to mention carrier pigeons, what Niangniang wants, the yellow bird lark, the magpie, or even the peacock is not a problem, you look at the yellow bird under the verandah of the hall, is it not sent by the Bird Division." The Snowwarbler smiled.

"Then go to the Bird Division and find two." Ruoyan grabbed Xue Ying's hand and said hurriedly, "If I need a carrier pigeon to send a message, should I send a messenger to say it first?" ”

Saying that, Ruoyan shook his head again and again: "No, Brother Sheng hasn't arrived at Biansai to camp now, and it's not good for me to send him a letter at this time." ”

Ruoyan suddenly remembered something, and grabbed Xue Ying's arm: "Do you know the appearance of Xiao Yi, the eldest son of Xiao Shangshu's family?" Why don't you go to Xiao Gongzi and ask him to send a letter to Brother Sheng? ”

Xue Ying laughed: "Why is Niangniang so troublesome? The slave maid heard that the medicinal herbs on the front line were the most lacking things. Nanchu is located in the south, the weather is hot, and the medicinal herbs are afraid that they will soon deteriorate. Why might as well send a group of people in her own name to send some medicinal herbs, camphor and other things and dehumidified quicklime to the front line? Isn't it enough for the middle to send a proper letter? ”

"yes, I didn't think of that! Xueying, you are thoughtful, and you have an idea, I will give you 10,000 taels of silver, and you can quickly get this thing done. Ruoyan smiled happily.

"Yes, don't worry." Xue Ying smiled and patted Ruoyan's hand, "The slave must have done this properly." ”

Ling Yin opened the curtain and came in at this time: "Niangniang, the concubines have arrived at the main hall." Have you packed up? ”

Ruoyan replied: "That's fine." ”

Xueying put on Ruoyan's robe and helped Ruoyan into the main hall.

The main hall is full of people today. Even Jiang Xuanyu has arrived.

Seeing Ruoyan come in, Jiang Xuanyu opened her mouth in a strange way: "Niangniang is really a big show, and the concubine's tea has been refilled with two cups before Niangniang arrives." I'm not afraid of falling asleep all day long. ”

Meng Yu couldn't look at it and reprimanded: "How is Yu Meiren talking?" Niangniang's will to be enshrined has come down, and it is said that Niangniang is now a concubine. Don't say that Niangniang is a concubine, even when you were a concubine before, you spoke like this! The poppy woman talks like this, but she doesn't take etiquette into account? Isn't it enough to learn enough of the following crimes? ”

"Meng Jieyu is only one level higher than me, so how can she teach me a lesson." Jiang Xuanyu sneered.

Ruoyan opened her mouth to call Xueying: "Xueying, do you say that it is enough to ban poppies with the position of this palace?" ”

Xue Ying laughed: "If you go back to Niangniang, it is naturally enough." It is also reasonable for the mother to palm the mouth of the poppy beauty. Or if the lady thinks the palm mouth is too unsightly, she can also ask someone to drag it to play some boards."

Ruoyan looked at Jiang Xuanyu: "Yu Meiren, what do you think?" ”

Jiang Xuanyu's face turned blue, and she said hatefully: "Doesn't Niang Niang feel panicked when she holds the position and presses the concubine?" Why do you still feel glorious? ”

Xue Ying didn't stick to Ruoyan's meaning: "Where did the beauty say?" If there is a mistake that cannot be punished, punishment is to oppress people with power, so what do you want to do with this rule and etiquette? ”

Yun Wan accosted in a timely manner: "Miss Xueying is talking about this reason, and Yu Meiren has done it a little too much." The concubine thought that the beating would be avoided, and she was grounded for a few months and punished for a few months as a warning. ”

"Yun Meiren said yes, then you will be grounded for two months and fined half a year. The poppy family has a big business, and the mother's family has made up for it, so there must be no shortage of these silvers. Ruoyan smiled and took a sip of tea.

Jiang Xuanyu's face was extremely ugly, and she stood up and threw up her sleeves and was about to leave.

Ruoyan stopped her: "Yu Meiren is leaving, and she won't say hello to this palace." Are you angry with Hongu? I don't think it's enough to be punished. Then I'll be grounded for another month. ”

"You! Yun Ruoyan! You'd better not fall into my hands! Jiang Xuanyu was so angry that she rushed out of the door.

After Jiang Xuanyu left, everyone dispersed after a few polite words.

Jiang Xuanyu's dormitory was in Qingchixuan in the South Palace, and after returning to the dormitory, Jiang Xuanyu began to smash the cup and began to scold angrily at her personal maid Cui Qiao: "What is she Yun Ruoyan?" is so beautiful to practice! This beauty wants that hoof to look good! It's just that Luo Hansheng is not clear, and now he is still so charming to His Majesty. ”

Cui Qiao didn't dare to persuade more, but said: "Master, don't be angry, don't be angry." ”

"Is Ben Meiren still less angry today? In a few days, my sister-in-law will also enter the palace, how can I have a place in this palace at that time?! Not! I've got to figure out a way! ”

Cui Qiao said suddenly: "Master, don't be impulsive, now the concubine is injured and the medicine is constantly taking medicine every day." If something happens, Your Majesty will definitely be held accountable. ”

"You're clever." Jiang Xuanyu thought of something, and laughed charmingly, "Anyway, this beauty is grounded now, and she can't find me if something happens." ”

Jiang Xuanyu took off a gold-wrapped table and handed it to Cui Qiao and instructed: "You take it and buy the decoction of Jiaofang Palace, and give that slut a pack of Heding Red." ”

Cui Qiao was shocked and hurriedly knelt down: "Master, think twice, if this is found, it will be a big crime!" ”

"What are you afraid of, after the medicine of the little palace, you want to find a way to turn the little palace maid into the result, and there will be no proof of death at that time. What can Your Majesty do? Yun Ruoyan is just an orphan girl now, Your Majesty will never offend my father for her as an orphan girl. ”

Cui Qiao hesitated a little: "Master......"

"Afraid of what? Just do it. Jiang Xuanyu scolded, "Or do you want to serve that slut now?" ”

"The slave doesn't dare, the slave just does it." Cui Qiao took the table and went out to make arrangements.

The little palace maid who decocted the medicine in Jiaofang Palace was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and she took the gold ingot and took the medicine and went to decoction happily.

Li Yizhe went down to the court and felt a little worried about Ruoyan, so he went to Jiaofang Palace.

As soon as Li Yizhe entered the door with his front foot, Ling Yin came over with a medicine bowl to remind Ruoyan: "Niangniang, it's time to take medicine." ”

Seeing Li Yizhe, Ling Yin did not lose his courtesy, and bent his knees, which can be regarded as worshipping.

Li Yizhe took the medicine bowl in Ling Yin's hand, scooped a spoonful and blew it, and suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the medicinal soup. Stir the spoon at the bottom of the bowl and feel something like flour underneath.

Li Yizhe felt that something was wrong, so he called Ling Yin: "You go and get this bowl of medicine and feed it to the yellow bird under the corridor." ”

Ling Yin was stunned for a moment, and immediately took it and pressed the yellow bird's head to feed it. After a while, the bird tilted its head and fell.

Ling Yin was so frightened that the medicine bowl in his hand fell directly to the ground. Li Yizhe heard the voice and hurried over to ask her, "What's wrong?" ”

Seeing the dead oriole on the ground, Li Yizhe understood everything, and roared angrily: "Lin Shengnian! Check it out to me! Everyone in the palace is checked! Look one up and count one! Dead and alive are all for me to investigate! ”

Where has Lin Shengnian seen this battle, and where has Li Yizhe ever lost such a big temper after so many years on the throne? Gonggong Lin answered loudly, and went down to check.

It didn't take long to take out the little palace maid who had been drugged.

Ruoyan sat on the couch and leisurely flipped through the notebook and ate the glutinous rice cakes that Li Yizhe had tried poisoning one by one with silver needles, and Li Yizhe sat on the side to interrogate the little palace maid.

Li Yizhe was also very fierce, and asked the little palace maid with a grim face: "Who gave the gold and poison." ”

The little palace maid was so frightened that she kowtowed again and again: "The slave knows that she is wrong, Your Majesty forgives her sins!" Be...... It was given by Cui Qiao next to the poppy. None of the slaves or maidservants knew it. The slave's father died early, and there was a younger brother at home who was still young to study. Only then did the slave and maid see that Qian Eye opened and collected the gold of the poppy. I beg your Majesty to forgive me. ”

Ruoyan suddenly chuckled: "You are filial." Thinking about my brother at home. Your brother's study is so important that it is more important than the life of this palace. ”

Li Yizhe was even more angry when he heard this, and angrily ordered Gonggong Lin: "Lin Shengnian, pull her out for me and beat her to death." ”

"What? Poppies don't need to be judged? Ruoyan looked playful.

"Trial! Bring her to me. Li Yizhe stopped Gonggong Lin, "Tell Jin Wuwei to drag her over, I want to see her kneeling here in a quarter of an hour!" ”

"Father-in-law Lin is slow." Ruoyan put the notebook aside, "The poppy may be very patient, and her speech is ugly and vulgar." Hongu didn't want to see her dirty ears. Drag it out for the first trial. ”

Li Yizhe got up and poured her a cup of tea to comfort her: "You are shocked." I will give you a satisfactory explanation. ”

"Your Majesty is on the side of whether or not to give an explanation to the concubines, I'm afraid that someone on the front line is already so angry that they are about to explode. Your Majesty should think about how to deal with him first. Xuanwu Hou is no matter how powerful and powerful he is? After all, I haven't led troops for many years. On the other side of the front line, Luo Hansheng and Xuanwu Marquis are more important, and His Majesty will weigh it himself. Ruoyan said with a smile.

"I know that I will be severely punished at this time."

"The army only set out yesterday afternoon, if you hurry up, the news of my brother should arrive." Ruoyan took a sip of tea.

Suddenly there was a loud voice outside the door: "Report!" ”

Ruoyan smiled even more happily: "What did the concubine just say?" ”
