Chapter 32: Li Guang
After Gan Ran left, Su Ruhui pondered for a long time and decided not to contact Shuyue Hall again.
She specially called Xiuwan to tell her about this, but Xiuwan only heard her mention the beginning and said: "Actually, what His Royal Highness said is very true, that night Miss wanted Aunt Siyan to take charcoal at will, and the slave maid wanted to say it, but I was afraid that I would sweep Miss's face in front of the people of Shuyue Palace, and we have already crossed the cold charcoal, but Miss is not bad with the ladies in charge of the palace now, and the ladies and ladies are thinking about Miss's age and don't care." That Mrs. Yinghua is not, that lady spoiled the harem when the slave maid entered the palace, that is, today's concubines have to retreat, although they are now out of favor, but the queen, the concubine, how can they not complain? Miss helps her, how can the ladies not carry resentment towards the young lady? ”
Su Ruhui sighed and said with a wry smile: "Yes, yes, yes, I am still young, and it is inevitable that I will not be thoughtful in doing things, and you don't have to save me any face next time, just say that it is better to have no face than to cause trouble." ”
"Miss, where is that? In the future, you will be the royal daughter-in-law, even if you don't think about it by chance, it will never be the turn of the slave to give you no face. Xiuwan pursed her lips and smiled.
Su Ru raised her eyebrows: "What rumors have you heard again?" ”
"The slave didn't hear anything." Xiuwan served Su Ruhui very dedicatedly during this time, and her temper was almost touched, knowing that this young lady was not a harsh person, and she was much bolder, in front of Su Ruhui, she dared to say a few words of gossip, "It's just that the slave and maid look at the second highness seems to be very attentive to the young lady, although the prince ......"
Xiuwan didn't say anything, Su Ruhui already understood what she meant, the value of the daughter of an official who had received the court staff naturally plummeted, if no one dared to say that the concubine of Wudehou and the gate lord Su couldn't become the crown princess, but after being punished by Changtai, it was unlikely.
However, in addition to the crown prince, the princes may not be a consideration.
Dayong has a vast territory, so it is divided into four frontiers, in addition to rebelling like King Lu of the previous dynasty, the heirs have been detained in the imperial capital since then, and the country has been removed; Or if King Lao Ning stayed in Beijing for a long time due to illness, the kingdoms guarded their own countries and were not allowed to return to Beijing without an edict. And within the vassal state, except for a prisoner, all the rest are autonomous, if you can't become the crown princess, win the phoenix seat of the mother in the world, marry Gan Ran, and when Gan Ran reaches the age of sixteen and becomes a vassal in the future, it is also a more decent way out to go to the feudal country to be a king.
After all, the royal family selected five women to accompany them in the palace, what a magnificent thing, but turned his head but was quietly picked up by the family, making people laugh about small things, the key is to marry in the future, how can the in-laws not despise it?
Thousands of people were selected to be sent to the palace, and the daughters of other families were favored by the royal family, and they had to be worthy of the crown prince and grandson, but Su Ruhua left the palace in a way that was close to being expelled within a few months of entering the palace, even if he married someone in the future, the husband's family would feel shameless, and even the Su family would be considered to be lax in training, and maybe other sisters of the same clan would also be implicated! In order to solve this crisis, it is natural to find a way to marry in the royal family.
Xiuwan was kind, but Su Ruhui smiled dumbly and said: "Second Highness, he is just playing with no people of the same age in the deep palace, so he is a little closer to me, and you think too far." Although she was holding on to her momentum and looked casual, her ears turned red unconsciously, not only shy, but also annoyed: Even Xiuwan was so bold to pry me, God knows what happened outside Qiongtong Palace!
This is not good, although he no longer intends to stay in this fateful deep palace, but this does not mean that Su Ruhua does not want his girlfriend reputation, and it is Gan Ran who runs to Qiongtong Palace, but how can the royal family smear the reputation of the prince? It must be said that the Su family's goddaughter has no way, and she was ordered by Changtai to move to the palace for reflection, and she did not forget to seduce the prince!
She decided to find an opportunity to tell Gan Ran that he would have nothing to do in the future.
The master and servant were frolicking when they heard a gentle cough from His Highness.
Xiuwan immediately straightened her face and said in a low voice: "Slave maid go take a look!" ”
"I guess it's Miss Zhou, I'll go out by myself." Su Ruhui also stood up, and there were only a few people who came to the Chunsheng Palace, among them Gan Ran was haunted every time and never walked through the main gate. And Gan Tang has a hobby of listening to the foot of the wall, and every time he walks in lightly, he doesn't pay attention, and he can't find that he has been listening to other people's private conversations for a long time.
The only polite thing is Zhou Qi's illness, and every time he has pressed the number of courtesies, but after the winter, Zhou Qi's sick body is getting weaker and weaker, and the queen will not let her go out.
Su Ruhui sometimes feels that Queen Zhou is very attentive to her niece, and Zhou Qi's illness is not on the list of escorts, but she has been left in the palace by the queen for so long, and she is treated as half a daughter. On the contrary, it is Zhou Yi'er in the list, since she lived in Renshou Palace, the queen did not say that she was summoned to Weiyang Palace, that is, she had not even sent anything once.
The two of them walked out of the hall, but saw a strange blue robe and yellow door standing under the eaves outside the hall, with white skin and a smile on his face, but he looked at his eyes.
Seeing Su Ruhui and Xiuwan coming out of the hall, the yellow door brushed the dust, and bent down with a smile: "This is Miss Su, right?" Slave Li Guang, on the order of the Queen Mother, came to invite the young lady to Renshou Palace! ”
"The Queen Mother?" The master and servant were all shocked! Coincidentally, I remembered the matter of cold incense charcoal, and suddenly secretly complained!
But the yellow gate next to the Queen Mother came to invite in person, and Su Ruhui had to smile and say: "It's freezing this day, and there is a father-in-law who has gone this way, and I also invite my father-in-law to come in and drink tea to warm up, I changed my clothes, and then I went to meet the Queen Mother!" ”
When Su Ruhui spoke, Xiuwan had already slipped back to the inner hall smartly, and when she came out to help Li Guang not long ago, a pair of warm jade bi was stuffed into Li Guang's palm.
Li Guang accepted it quietly, squinted and said, "Thank you, Miss, it's not necessary to go in, the Queen Mother is still waiting, and the slave maid is waiting outside for Miss to change her clothes." ”
Su Ruhui glanced at Xiuwan, nodded and said, "Then Xiuwan went and poured the tea, took the tinu and brought it out to her father-in-law!" ”
Xiuwan agreed, and returned to the hall with Su Ruhui, it is estimated that Li Guangying will not be able to hear her words, Xiuwan is worried: "Miss, should the queen mother be for ......" Her eyes fell on a pot of charcoal in the hall, and she stopped talking.
Su Ruhui also panicked in her heart, but she refused to lose her temperament in front of the slave maid, and forced herself to calm down: "Look at this Li Guang is still kind, shouldn't it?" ”
"Miss, you don't know, this Li Guang is ......" Xiuwan didn't want to increase the pressure on Su Ruhui, but she was worried that she didn't tell Su Ruhui first, Su Ruhui was not mentally prepared, and when she entered Renshou Palace, she found that the situation was very different from what she expected, but she was going to have an accident, and whispered, "He is one of the stewards of Renshou Palace, although he rarely walks in front of the Queen Mother, but he has won the trust of the Queen Mother. The slave maid heard that soon after the wedding, a Xiaoyi was pregnant, and Liu Baolin was jealous at that time, so he made a pastry mixed with safflower powder to invite that Xiaoyi to eat, and then the matter was found out, and the queen mother was furious and asked Liu Baolin to die, and it was Li Guang who sent it! It is said that he went to Liu Baolin's residence with a smile, Liu Baolin thought there was any good news, and he was busy rewarding and sitting, who knew that Li Guang received the reward and drank good tea, so he slowly announced the queen mother's decree, Liu Baolin from heaven to earth, people fainted directly! Later, the palace knew that Li Guanggong's face was the most unbelievable! ”
Su Ruhui listened to her heart, she had never seen this Li Guang, and she thought that she was not cordial with the Queen Mother, but since she was able to serve as the post of transmitting the decree when the Queen Mother died, her status was obviously not comparable to that of ordinary idle stewards.
There are more small yellow doors available around the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother doesn't need to give Su Ru extra face, just call someone to pass on her, why did she just call this Yellow Gate that once smiled and groaned to give Liu Baolin to death?
She changed into a sable with a heavy heart, combed her hair in the style that the Queen Mother liked, lightly lit her lip grease, and walked out of the hall.
"Miss, let's go with the slave." Li Guang had already drunk the tea specially presented by Xiuwan, and was waiting with his hands crossed, when he saw Su Ruhua come out, he showed the smile he had been famous in the palace for a long time and said, "In the past few days, it has been snowing heavily, and the road is slippery, and the queen mother is afraid that the slave who carries the soft sedan chair will not be careful, and then she will drop the young lady, so please ask the young lady to be wronged, and go to Renshou Palace with the slave." ”
"The father-in-law laughed, the Queen Mother was merciful, where is there any grievance? In the palace, there was no share of the sedan chair as painted, but it was just the favor of the virtuous concubine in the past. Besides, it's only a few steps to Renshou Palace. Su Ruhui bit her lip lightly, thinking about the meaning of Li Guang's words, but said with an innocent smile in her mouth, "It's a burden for my father-in-law to run this trip." ”
"The slave serves the queen mother, what is this little thing?" Li Guang smiled, "Miss is worthy of everyone's background, but she is polite." ”
Su Ruhui followed him for a while, and when he saw that there was no one around, he couldn't help but tentatively say: "Ruhui has not been in the palace for a long time, but he also knows that his father-in-law is deeply trusted by the Queen Mother, I don't know if I can tell Ruhui what the Queen Mother is summoning today?" ”
When Li Guang heard this, he smiled and said, "What Miss said, who in the palace doesn't know?" The Queen Mother is the most merciful, as for why the Queen Mother wants to see you, when she does, she will naturally know. ”
Seeing that he refused to let go, Su Ruhui was also expected, so she sighed secretly and stopped talking.
