Chapter 62: Weeks Later

"Miss......"

Seeing the chaos over there, Huaizhen helped Gan Ran to scold Song Caisu one after another, while Zhang Yan was talking about the wind and blamed both of them, and Gan Ran stared at the snow palace that he had worked hard for a long time to build the prototype without saying a word, but his expression became more and more gloomy, Xiuwan couldn't help but secretly purse her lips, and pushed Su Ruhua and said, "The Second Highness was defeated by their son, why don't you go up and say a few words to him?" ”

Su Ruhui pouted, pretending not to hear.

These three people just lost Gan Ran's interest, last time she didn't know what to do, God knows if Gan Ran is still angry now, otherwise, go up to save the three, on the rush to be Gan Ran's seizure?

"We're sneaking away from the side!" Su Ruhui raised a hand and instructed Yi Xiuwan not to make a sound, and was about to slip away. Before she finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from behind her: "Hey, why are you here?" ”

Su Ruhui turned her head in amazement, and saw Ganmei in half-worn clothes standing not far behind them with a handful of gorgeous red plums, this time Ganmei was not alone, he was followed by a grandmother, her face was quite stern, and she was looking at Su Ruhui with scrutinizing eyes.

"The courtiers have seen the Fourth Highness!" Su Ruhui didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went up to say goodbye, and the grandmother saw that she was well-mannered, and the strictness in her eyes faded slightly, and she also owed her. Xiuwan didn't dare to slack off, and after a group of people finished their etiquette, they stared at Su Ruhua and said, "Aren't the people of Qiongtong Palace not allowed to come out?" How did you end up here? ”

Su Ruhui was stunned for a moment, thinking that Changtai didn't seem to have issued a grounding order when he ordered to move to the Chunsheng Palace, and she didn't go out again because she was angry and couldn't wipe her face. The grandmother frowned when she heard this, and said, "Your Highness! ”

Lumei seemed to be a little afraid of the mama, and immediately stopped asking.

After such a salute here, Gan Ran and his party had already been alarmed, only to hear a chaotic footsteps, and saw Gan Mei holding a handful of red plums and saluting behind Su Ruhui a little awkwardly: "Gan Mei greets the second emperor brother!" ”

Gan Ran nodded, said a word, and ignored Su Ruhui's salute, just asked, "What is the fourth brother doing with so many plum blossoms?" Why don't you give it to Mama to hold it for you? ”

The mother's face turned pale.

But Ganmei didn't think much about it, and said truthfully: "The mother concubine likes plum blossoms, but there is no one in Yiqing Zhai, this is what I just went to the imperial garden to pick, because it is for the filial piety of the mother, so I didn't ask Mama Liu to help me." ”

"The fourth brother has a heart." Gan Ran was not very enthusiastic about Lumei, but he praised it casually, and did not pay attention to the old clothes on his body, and after a few more greetings, the two brothers took their leave, and Ganmei took the plum blossoms to Yiqingzhai where he and Xu Cairen lived.

Su Ruhui saw that Gan Ran never called himself exempt from courtesy, knowing that he was wrong, he didn't say much, but just maintained a posture of saluting.

I heard the county lord of Huaizhen say: "Su Ruhui, you don't know the number of etiquette, how can you salute your cousin but don't know how to salute the county lord?" Could it be that you, the daughter of an auxiliary general, dare to defy the majesty of the heavenly family? ”

"What a big hat the county lord buttoned!" Su Ruhui maintained a saluting posture, but she didn't let Huaizhen in her mouth, "Ruhui saluted the second highness first, since His Royal Highness didn't call up, Ruhui naturally wants to continue to maintain, this is to respect the majesty of the heavenly family, but I don't know how noble the county lord He De can be, dare to cross the second prince of His Majesty's own bloodline, let Ruhui ignore the prince's order to bend to you?" ”

"You!" Huaizhen was extremely proud, although he knew that Su Ruhui was now living in Lumingtai and was easy to move, he was still so angry that he was dizzy for a while, and only after a while did he show an aggrieved expression and pulled Gan Ran's sleeve and said, "Cousin! ”

"Flat, let's give a salute to the county lord!" Gan Ran said expressionlessly.

The corners of Su Ruhui's mouth twitched, and she gave a salute to the county lord of Huaizhen again, and the county lord of Huaizhen also wanted her to keep the posture of saluting for a long time, but the last time Su Ruhui moved to the Chunsheng Palace, it had already made the queen mother unhappy.

"Su, why are you peeping here?" After the salute, both sides were a little gloomy and speechless, but it was Zhang Huan, who already had a charming style, who opened his mouth to question.

"Miss Zhang's misunderstanding, Ruhua was just passing by here, and she happened to meet His Royal Highness the Fourth, so she just met her." Su Ruhui was much more polite to Zhang Juan, although this Zhang Juan, although he was proud, he was not as scheming as the Song family; Second, because of her identity, after all, she is the same clan as the Queen Mother, Wei Yuanbo is the most talented person in the Queen Mother's clan in recent years, and he is loyal, whether it is Jiayi or Emperor Changtai, he is unwilling to treat his daughter badly, but it is different from Song Caisu, who is just the daughter of the gate valve.

Zhang Yan has always spoken directly, "Really? I see that you seem to be standing here for a while, and the two footprints under the tree are extremely deep, are you looking at the Second Highness? ”

"What do I see Your Highness doing?" Su Ruhui showed a look of surprise, but saw a smug expression on Zhang Huan's face, and said, "Oh? In this case, then His Highness will take us to Soyu Lake to play, you are not allowed to follow! ”

"Miss, don't worry!" Su Ruhui pretended not to see Gan Ran's angry gaze on the side, and said slowly, "Come out like this, Ruhui's shoes are a little wet, you have to go back and change your clothes quickly, Your Highness, the county lord, and the two young ladies, please!" ”

When Gan Ran walked away, Xiuwan stomped her feet, hating iron and steel: "Miss, are you crazy!" ”

"Xiuwan, don't worry, I have my own ideas!" Su Ruhui narrowed her big apricot eyes and sneered, "You wait and see!" ”

Xiuwan pondered the meaning of her words, and saw that there was no one around, so she tentatively said, "The queen will not be deposed?" Won't you lose the power of the Six Palaces? ”

Su Ruhui didn't answer, but said slowly: "Xiuwan, let's go back to Lumingtai, my shoes seem to be really wet." ”

…………………………………………………………………………………………

In the Changle Palace, the delicate but unfragrant begonia flowers were replaced by two pots of plum blossoms that fit the scene, the earth dragon burned extremely hot, mixed with the smell of leisurely and cold incense, Queen Zhou only wore a thin dress and skirt, and was holding the parrot on the shelf with food, her expression was indifferent, and she couldn't see the color of joy and anger. An Qiu, who was behind her, respectfully told her what Gan Ran, Gan Mei and others had met with Su Ruhui just now.

Since Zhou Qingran entered the palace, rumors have been full of baboons, and the Weiyang Palace in the past has quickly deserted, and many favored concubines have even shirked their illness and can't ask for peace, but they ran to Xifu Palace, and even took An Qiu and others to become more and more cautious.

Listening to An Qiu's advice, Queen Zhou frowned and said, "When Su Ruhui moved to the Chunsheng Palace, the one raised in the Xifu Palace seemed to be very attentive to her. ”

"Niangniang, it's like this, I heard that one fell into a well in Renshou Palace, and he didn't dare to alarm others, but he happened to meet Su Ruhui and helped him hide it, and then he has always been friendly to Su Ruhui."

"Then why didn't Su Ruhui look like she was close to that one just now? Instead, a few words with Luscious Beauty? ”

"The slave maid heard that just a few days before Su Ruhui moved back to Lumingtai, one of the two palace maids on the side of Shuyue Hall froze to death, and the Miss Su family didn't know why, so she blamed the second prince who happened to see her, and the two of them quarreled because of it, and the second prince was angry, and kicked the palace maid named Xiuwan down and ran out, and then he didn't pay attention to Su Ruhui, and he didn't say a word to her just now."

Seeing that Queen Zhou was deep in thought, An Qiu added: "I heard that afterwards, His Royal Highness also went to the Chunsheng Palace to reprimand the Su family!" ”

"Niangniang, what does this young lady mean by refusing the kindness of the one from Xifu Palace, but sending Mo Yu'an Shen Pillow to us? Could it be that she is fascinated by our Royal Highness the Crown Prince? An Qiu saw that Queen Zhou's mind did not belong, and she was afraid that she would worry too much about hurting her body, so she hurriedly teased her with interesting topics.

Sure enough, Queen Zhou smiled and said, "How old is the Su family?" Gan Lin in this palace is only ten years old, what does such a big child know? ”

"So what does she mean? The slave maid said something that he didn't like, now even the two in our own palace are eager to move to Xifu Palace to live, but why does this Su family still come to us? The distance from Renshou Palace to our Weiyang Palace is not close, the Su family is young, and after the last incident of the county lord Huaizhen, he did not dare to use the sedan chair, I am afraid that it will take two hours to get there. An Qiu asked puzzled.

"Earlier, this palace also thought that this palace was not good, and it was going to fall." Queen Zhou smiled faintly, "But it seems that the news of this palace is too closed, and there is no way, the maiden family of this palace is the head of the clear stream, and she has a good reputation, but she can't interfere in real military affairs, this point, this palace is not as good as her Su Ruhua, a child less than ten years old!" ”

An Qiuqi said: "What do you say? ”

"The palace can only raise a few children under the queen mother's knees from Renshou Palace, and it is guessed that the Huo family was also designed this time, and the back position of the palace is safe, but I don't know what chess the court is playing recently, so I can't help but worry about Ganlin." Empress Zhou sighed, "Your Majesty is still young, and I don't know how many princes and princesses there will be in the future, not to mention that the maiden family of this palace is just a clear stream, although this reputation is good, but the real military and political power is beyond touch." ”

She smiled with relief: "This palace has been going up and down in my heart these days, and I am worried that if this palace falls, how will Gan Lin and Gan Pei deal with themselves?" An Qiu, you are the dowry of the palace, you should know Your Majesty...... Actually, I prefer the one from the Sefuku Palace! If you want to say that you abandoned the main palace for something, and help that ...... Hongu thinks that it is not impossible! ”

"Niangniang, you have two sons under your knees, since you have been in the middle palace, you have been treated gently, and you have praised both inside and outside the government, not to mention the queen mother...... " An Qiu hurriedly relieved.

Queen Zhou didn't pay attention to her persuasion, but just said to herself: "The palace was able to live in this Weiyang Palace at the beginning, because the Queen Mother didn't like the Huo family, and she didn't want to cheapen other gate valve families, and Gu Qinru and Shen Chun, who were selected by the gate valve family at that time, although they are now also sitting on the throne of one of the four concubines, are on a par with the Huo family, but the combined favor of the two people is not as good as the Huo family!" The Queen Mother chose the palace, which was known as a talented person in the imperial capital, and demoted the Huo family to a noble concubine in the name of establishing a virtuous and talented person! ”

"The Queen Mother has also cherished her mother all these years."

"The Queen Mother cherishes the palace, but she is the Queen Mother of Dayong and the mother of Her Majesty first......" Queen Zhou sighed deeply, "An Qiu, you don't understand!" Now is not the time for His Majesty to get married, the western and northern borders are unstable, Taifu is already old, the Su family is a gate valve, only a hussar general, a civilian, and does not participate in any forces, only loyal to the Queen Mother and Your Majesty! Hongu thought a few days ago that the rumors were not groundless, they were indeed ...... It's possible! ”

An Qiu held her breath and stared, and only after a while did she say carefully: "Niangniang is not at fault, don't the Queen Mother and Your Majesty care about the face of the heavenly family?" ”

"Face? Didn't you hear the rumors that the palace plotted to kill the emperor's heir and gave birth to the eldest son? If you want to add sin, why should you do it? Empress Zhou sneered, but then the sneer turned into a comfortable smile, "But now this palace is no longer worried." ”

"Huh?"

"Su's ink jade pillow is really a soothing thing!" Queen Zhou smiled happily, "Moyu unicorn pillow, the unicorn is a rui beast, with the meaning of peace and auspiciousness, Moyu? It should mean Mo language. Su is hinting at the palace, the current matter, the palace does not need to say anything or do anything, it is safe and auspicious. ”
