Chapter 221: Confrontation
At this time, the autumn rain was cold and cold, and he didn't know how long he had been standing in the rain, his whole body was already soaked, and water was constantly dripping from his purple clothes, his face was frozen and white, and his lips were white, but it was not difficult to see the suppressed haze under his eyes.
"Your Royal Highness? Your Highness? Su Ruhui screamed a few times in surprise, Gan Mei didn't seem to hear it, there was a burst of footsteps behind her, Su Ruhui and Xiuwan thought it was the slave next to Gan Mei who came over, who wanted to turn back but Dan Zhu, who looked over in surprise.
"Danju!" Su Ruhui knew that Danzhu didn't know whether to come over or not as soon as she looked at her gaze, so she hurriedly beckoned to her, and said in a low voice, "You just went to Yongxin Palace?" ”
"The county lord of Danzhu likes shortbread, and my aunt happened to make it in the palace, so I asked the county lord to try it, and I also brought some for Sister Su." Through the rain curtain, Su Ruhui saw that Shen Zipei was also there, smiling and bowing to her under the umbrella, his eyes turned and fell on Ganmei, "I heard Sister Su speak just now, is this the Fourth Highness?" How so? ”
Su Ruhui didn't bother to pay attention to her, and said to Danzhu: "I just came back from Lanqiu Palace, and I saw His Highness here, no matter what it is, help persuade His Highness to take shelter from the rain first." ”
"Go and tell the Queen Mother." Danzhu understood, first ordered the palace maid beside her, and ran to tell her in the rain, Su Ruhui glanced at Xiuwan, now that several people have reached the age, there is another Shen Zipei here, naturally she has to avoid it, it is inconvenient to take action in person, Xiuwan understands what she means, fortunately, Ganmei is not old now, her strength is not enough, and the whole person is also a little confused, she was pulled to the nearby eaves to take shelter from the rain, and several people took out the handkerchief one after another, and asked Xiuwan to wipe it for him.
Shen Zipaige said: "What about the people around His Highness?" ”
"Xiuwan, the people from Renshou Palace will come in a while, you should go back to Yiqingzhai and tell your Highness about the matter here with your concubine Niangniang, so as not to worry about Niangniang." Su Ruhui didn't hear her words, and told Xiuwan that Shen Zipei was lost face twice in a row, or in front of the county lord of Danzhu, he couldn't get off the stage in the end, showing a trace of stupidity, don't turn his face and don't speak.
Lord Danzhu said worriedly, "Fourth Highness, what's the matter?" Even if there is something unpleasant, just say it, if you don't care for your body like this, if you are ...... How sad should I be when I see it? ”
Su Ruhui didn't persuade again, she looked like she was hit hard, and she might not be able to persuade her with a few words, but the Queen Mother and Changtai have always cared much about Lumei, and they don't know if they will cause trouble this time.
Looking at the appearance of the queen mother, she actually praised the concubine, but this highness didn't know where to make her unhappy, and she was very negligent since she was a child...... Su Ruhui didn't wait too long, Li Guang personally brought someone over with rain gear, and when he saw his luscious appearance, Li Guang frowned: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" ”
Su Ruhui and the others glanced at each other, and they all said: "Since Gonggong Li is here, we have met His Highness by chance, so let's retire first." ”
"The county lord and the two young ladies go slowly!" Li Guang instructed Xiao Huangmen to take a robe and put it on his luscious shoulders, and asked people to cover him with an umbrella to go to the Detai Palace, and stopped them and said, "The Queen Mother asked the county lord and the two young ladies to go back together!" ”
"Okay—did you say that from the concubine?" Su Ruhui groaned.
Li Guang smiled and said: "Miss Su is so careful, leaning on Qingzhai, the Queen Mother has already ordered to invite." ”
A few people arrived at the Detai Palace, saluted first, and the people around the Queen Mother took them to the side hall to bathe and change clothes, Su Ruhua was a few free to accompany the Queen Mother to laugh, Su Ruhua looked around, and said in surprise: "What about Sister Lian'er?" "As usual, Huo Qinglian is here, but today he didn't see anyone, and he was replaced by Zhou Yi'er.
"Huo Changqing felt the wind and cold, Lian'er is pure and filial, please go out of the palace to take care of it, the mourning family has been approved." Hearing her question, the Queen Mother smiled faintly and said, the long eyelashes of the county lord of Danzhu flickered, and she got up and said: "Danzhu Jin'er originally wanted to use the shortbread given by Concubine Shu'er to apologize to Sister Lian'er, but I didn't expect my sister to go out of the palace unfortunately, I don't know if Mr. Huo's wind and cold matter?" When will Sister Lian'er come back? ”
"Your sister Lian'er has just left the palace, so you wish she came back?" The Queen Mother joked with a light smile and said, "The mourning family misses that their father and daughter have been separated for many years, so I simply allowed her to live at home until the Laba Festival and then come back." ”
"Dan Zhuke still wants to make amends!" Lord Danzhu pouted lightly and said with a slight grievance.
The Queen Mother was very satisfied, and said warmly: "It's just a momentary anger between the little sisters, how can there be any crime that is not guilty?" Your sister Lian'er is not such a stingy person! The Queen Mother seemed to have no idea that the county lord Huaizhen had made Xiao Huo's family so angry that she left in the rain yesterday, and Su Ruhui was also happy to pretend to be confused, so she just sang with Zhou Yi'er and Danzhu County Lord, which made the Queen Mother happy.
As for Shen Zipei, although the Queen Mother also gave her a seat, in this hall, except for the Lord Danzhu, they were all not on the right side with her, and they were left out in the cold. But Xiliang Shen's concubine is magnanimous in the end, with a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, her eyes are soft, she pinched her handkerchief and sat upright on the chair, with a demeanor.
Zhou Yi'er was angry when she saw it, and suddenly said: "The shortbread that the county lord took when he came in just now seems to have been made by the lady concubine?" ”
"It's a new taste made in the lady's kitchen." Lord Danzhu said softly, "Because Danzhu likes to eat this, Concubine Shu remembered it, so she called Danzhu over, and also prepared it for several sisters." The Queen Mother has a different one, and the mother said that it takes extra effort to let the Third Highness send it over later. ”
"The lady is really virtuous." Zhou Yi'er smiled lightly, "The palace affairs of the Sixth Palace are busy enough, and we have to urge the small kitchen to make new flavors of shortbread, but the mother is so biased, just ask the county lord to come over, but we only have to bring it back from the county lord." Saying that, she smiled at the Queen Mother and said, "Naturally, we are not as loved as the county lord, no wonder the mother will forget!" ”
A trace of displeasure flashed between Danzhu's eyebrows, and he said, "Where is Danzhu particularly loved?" I'm afraid that the lady concubine will pity Danzhu and lose it! Didn't the queen often call Sister Yi'er alone? Is it because the queen only loves Sister Yi'er, but she doesn't love Lian'er, Ruhua and Danzhu? ”
Only then did Zhou Yi'er realize that she wanted to use the shortbread to stab Shen Zipei a few words, but she offended Danzhu first, but Danzhu's two words were too sharp, and she couldn't help but be annoyed, and reluctantly smiled: "It's me who lost my words, don't be angry." ”
Danzhu said lightly: "Look at what Sister Yi'er said, it's just two random sentences, what is Danzhu to be angry about?" ”
Zhou Yi'er glanced at her deeply and suppressed the anger in her heart. But I don't know, Danzhu will be very angry in her heart, she has been in the palace since the death of Queen Dongjiao, and was taken into the palace by the Empress Dowager Jiayi to raise her, so she is cautious everywhere, this county lord has a soft personality, does not love edges, and has no intention of being an enemy of others, but in the end, it is the county lord's origin, and the temperament of the county lord is infiltrated in his bones.
What's more, the county lord of Danzhu didn't say anything, but he didn't have an idea with the county lord Huaizhen in his heart, that is, Xiao Huo's and Zhou Yi'er were just relying on the favor of the queen mother and the queen, these two people were born in a family at best, but in the palace, they were even more unprovoked than Su Ruhui and Shen Zipei, who were born in the gate, and suppressed the limelight of the two of them as the county lords, how could the two of them have a good impression of them.
Su Ruhui saw that the Queen Mother's eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and she hurriedly smiled and said: "Speaking of Concubine Shu, today at the side of the essence of Taiye Pool, Xiuyi Niangniang is very concerned about one thing. ”
"Oh, what's the matter?" The Queen Mother also had the heart to change the topic, so she deliberately opened her mouth to answer.
"Back to the Queen Mother's words, it was originally the first day to learn the piano, who expected that Xiuyi Niangniang saw the courtiers, but the first sentence was to ask the county lord of Huaizhen why he didn't go." Su Ruhui smiled narrowly, "The courtier said the reason, and the mother was very disappointed. ”
The Queen Mother knew it after a little pondering, and said with a smile: "Liu Xiuyi has been in the palace for a few years, why haven't she remembered Huaizhen's appearance, for fear that the mourning family and the emperor will point her to an ugly nephew?" ”
"Where? Xiuyi Niangniang naturally knew the county lord, and just now she told her courtiers that she would thank the Queen Mother and Her Majesty when she turned around. Su Ruhui pursed her lips and smiled, "Niang Niang Dao is Donghu bitter cold, I am afraid that the county lord will not be used to it, so I want to know some of the county lord's preferences, so that the future county horse will not know how to greet the county lord!" ”
The Queen Mother smiled pleasantly: "She has a heart, but you can also talk to her about these things." ”
"Isn't it?"
As he was talking, Li Guang bowed in outside, and the Queen Mother asked with concern, "How is Lumei?" "The people of Renshou Palace are naturally in good order, not only did they go to notify the concubine, but even the imperial doctor passed it over, everything was in order, and they came to tell him.
So Li Guang listened to the Queen Mother's question, and said calmly: "Back to the Queen Mother's words, it is Imperial Doctor Mu who is on duty today, and His Royal Highness Daosi has been in the rain for a little longer, so the cold invades, but His Royal Highness has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and he is a man, so he has already boiled the hot ginger soup, and bathed in time, as long as he drinks two more medicines, he will not send out a cold wind. ”
"Concubine is here, why didn't Rongshou send it over?" The Queen Mother frowned and said, "Rongshou's body ......"
Li Guang hurriedly said: "It's not that the concubine is unwilling to send the princess over, it's really that the princess and the fourth highness have a deep brotherhood, and I heard that the fourth highness is drenched in the rain, so I have to go and see it in person." ”
"Nonsense!" The Queen Mother said angrily, "Don't look at Rong Shou's body and bones, just condone her like this?" If Rongshou is sick, see how you come to explain to the mourning family! ”
"The Queen Mother is angry!" Li Guang hurriedly knelt down, "Concubine Niangniang knew that the princess was weak, so she didn't let the princess get close to the body of the Fourth Highness, but the princess looked at it from a distance, and the princess saw that the Fourth Highness was fine, and she was also relieved, and she was waiting for the concubine Niangniang and the Fourth Highness to come over together." ”
The Queen Mother's face was a little better, and she couldn't help but say angrily: "Go, bring Rong Shou over first!" ”
