Chapter 35: Transformation
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Su Ruhui walked to the moon gate, and found that she was really right, and was about to salute in surprise, but was stopped by Gan Lin raising his hand: "Don't be so polite in the cold weather." ”
"Is Your Highness here to wait for the courtiers?" Su Ruhui seemed to remember that before the Queen Mother let her retire, Gan Lin seemed to bow her head and say something to Queen Zhou, and then after Queen Zhou nodded, he walked out.
Because at that time, Su Ruhui put all her thoughts on Concubine Gu Xian's mention, and she didn't pay attention to it, but she didn't expect that he had been blowing a cold wind outside the hall, she quickly looked around, fortunately, those who served outside the Detai Hall were all at the end of the corridor, and there was no one else after the turn, plus it was blocked by the moon gate, but the surroundings were very clean, presumably Gan Lin came out and looked around to find this place.
"Naturally, yes." Gan Lin said slowly, "Your brother wants to bring you something." ”
"Brother?" Su Ruhui was taken aback, and was about to ask Su Rufeng how he got in touch with Gan Lin, so he heard Gan Lin say: "Zi'e is now Lone's companion. ”
His third brother became the prince's companion? After Su Ruhua moved to the palace, the news was inconvenient, and she had never heard the news, so she couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"Come with Lonely." Gan Lin seemed to have been waiting for her for a long time in the cold wind, flicked his sleeves impatiently, and turned around.
Su Ruhui came back to her senses at this time, and hurriedly followed his footsteps, but saw Gan Lin take her to a corner, and took out a small porcelain box from her arms, Su Ruhui crossed a trace of surprise in her eyes, and said softly: "Thank you prince!" "It is forbidden to give and receive privately in the palace, Su Ruhui just confessed to this charge in front of the Queen Mother, and did not dare to open it immediately, so she hurriedly stuffed it into her arms, planning to take it back to the Chunsheng Palace to see what it was.
"Li Guang was dragged by Lone's people, and Lone has something to tell you." Gan Lin said lightly.
Su Ruhui was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "Your Highness, please speak!" ”
"King Ning and Sheji have meritorious, the royal family naturally wants to tolerate his county lord, but you are also a person who has been raised in front of the queen mother's knee for a few days, the queen mother does not love you, but the county lord is noble, and everyone must feel that there is something different from respect and inferiority, what do you say?" Gan Lin thought for a moment and said slowly.
“…… Ruhua understands, His Royal Highness Prince Xie mentions! Su Ruhui took a deep breath and bowed.
"Li Guang is almost out, you can go." Gan Lin said.
Back on the corridor, it happened that Li Guang walked from the direction of Detai Hall with a smile and persistence, and when he saw Su Ruhui, he bent down with a smile and said, "Miss Su is here, and the slave is still looking for you behind!" ”
"I didn't see my father-in-law when I came out just now, and I thought I was waiting for Ruhua at the palace gate, which made my father-in-law bother." Su Ruhui smiled.
This Li Guang is worthy of being the queen mother's henchman, the slave maid is the self-proclaimed little yellow door in the palace, the steward with a slight identity, which is not full of our family, he is still a slave in the face of the powerless and powerless Su Ruhui, this humility alone is enough to make the queen mother look at it differently.
Of course, it also makes everyone wary.
"The Queen Mother is merciful and Miss is not living in Renshou Palace now, so let the slave send Miss back, Miss should be careful, although salt is sprinkled on the palace road, but the weather is cold, it is inevitable that there will be no place, don't fall." Li Guang earnestly advised.
Su Ruhui pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you father-in-law for reminding me, Ruhui keep it in mind." ”
When he arrived at the gate of the Chunsheng Palace, Li Guang still refused to enter the hall to drink tea, Su Ruhui took off a bracelet and gave it to him, but Li Guang did not shirk - the father-in-law Li next to the Queen Mother has always been very simple when receiving gifts.
Because Su Ruhui's relocation to the Chunsheng Palace was the identity of the guilt, and she was naturally not qualified to bring the palace maid when she was summoned, Xiuwan had already burned ginger soup and waited anxiously, and finally saw Su Ruhui being sent back, and said a few polite words to Li Guang in front of the palace, and her face did not seem to have been punished, so she breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly greeted her, took off her coat for Su Ruhui, handed over a delicate hand stove, and then filled a bowl of ginger soup and said: "Miss drink the soup first to drive away the cold." ”
Su Ruhui drank two bowls of ginger soup in a row, Xiuwan cleaned it up, and came to change her shoes and loose her hair, so she asked carefully: "Miss, why did the Queen Mother summon you today?" ”
"Nothing." Su Ruhui leaned on the couch with her eyes closed, her expression a little sad, "You are going to let me out." ”
"Huh?" Xiuwan couldn't help but be stunned.
"My father originally planned to take me out of the palace after the beginning of spring, but now depending on the queen mother's meaning, I'm afraid I still want to go back to Renshou Palace......" Su Ruhui also felt panicked.
As a gate valve woman, Su Ruhui does not exclude marrying into the royal family, Su Wanhai has taught her and her three brothers since she was a child, they were born high, and many amazing and brilliant people spend their lives not necessarily able to reach the status they were born with. But having enjoyed the benefits of the family lineage, it is also obligatory to maintain the glory of the family.
When she entered the palace, she conscientiously welcomed the queen's preferences, figured out the queen mother's wishes, and tried her best to maintain a good relationship with everyone, naturally hoping to marry the royal daughter-in-law and add glory and help to the family. But after the incident of the county lord Huaizhen, Su Ruhui knew that her identity had plummeted, and she gradually lost her mind.
The lintel of the Su family is high, naturally not as good as the strong royal family, and it is low, but it can be regarded as a first-class gate valve of Dayong, and the family is profound.
If Su Ruhui marries into the royal family, but her position is not high, it is that the Su family has no face, and the Su family is willing to beg the emperor to let her go back to marry on her own, and this kind of thing will not happen.
In addition to Su Ruhui, there are many girls in the Su family who are close to the princes, and they must marry the royal family, and it is a big deal to change the candidate. But if she marries badly, it will be tantamount to the daughter of the Su family being humiliated by her identity.
For gate valves, reputation is more important than anything else.
Su Ruhui was upset when she thought about it: "I should have let my father fold in the morning." ”
"If the Queen Mother wants to keep you, you can't help it." Xiuwan is older after all, but she is much calmer than Su Ruhui, "If Miss is sure that she will continue to stay in the palace, she should think about it for the future." ”
"This time it can't just be settled." When Xiuwan said this, Su Ruhui finally got up and thought about it seriously, but the first thing she thought about was to find a place for herself.
Xiuwan was startled, and hurriedly said, "Miss, no, that's Lord Huaizhen!" ”
"Hmph, so what? Lord Huaizhen? I was raised in the Queen Mother's Palace, as the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, although King Ning is a person who knows the general situation, but he can't be too unsure of the Queen Mother and His Majesty, right? Su Ruhui sneered, she lightly told Xiuwan what Gan Lin said just now, "The prince met me in Renshou Palace, Tete said this, without the hint of the queen mother, I don't believe he would do this!" ”
Xiuwan frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly clapped her hands and said happily: "The Queen Mother is secretly annoyed by the county lord of Huaizhen?" ”
"Isn't it? Your Majesty added my court staff, and it was not only the Su family and myself who were hurt! What's more important is the face of the Queen Mother! Of course, there is also the virtuous concubine. Su Ruhui rubbed the handkerchief in her hand, contemplated and said, "Later, we were all detained here and didn't get out, and the news was also brought by chance when Gan Ran came, and I didn't know about the situation outside, maybe even the queen was not happy - then Song Caisu was raised in Weiyang Palace!" ”
"So the unconscious master, can the queen get used to it?" Xiuwan pouted and said, "And the county lord of Huaizhen came out of Xifu Palace at that time, right?" The position of the concubine is not as good as that of the queen, but the grace has always crossed the queen, and it is strange that the queen likes her to get close to Xifu Palace! Miss is going to clean up Song Caisu first? ”
Su Ruhui narrowed her big apricot eyes, and said after a while: "First find a way to go back to Renshou Palace, today's prince's words made me understand a truth, I used to live in Lumingtai, even if I was not as favored as Miss Huo Qi, but in the final analysis, I was still raised under the knees of the Queen Mother, and I was considered the Queen Mother!" Now that I have moved to Qiongtong Palace, the main seat here is something that people have to hide from when they see it, not to mention sheltering me, it's good not to let people use it to harm me! To do something, you still have to go back to the queen mother's big tree to plan again. ”
Xiu Wanqi said: "Since the Queen Mother has annoyed the county lord of Huaizhen, and also asked the concubine and the prince to tell the young lady, it is tantamount to making a decision, why does the young lady still say that she wants to find a way to go back?" ”
"Hmph, the queen mother has this plan, today Concubine Xian invited the queen to intercede for me together, the matter is almost over, just wait for Laba to present a gift on the day. But there are people in this palace who don't want me to go back! Su Ruhui gritted his teeth and said, "When Li Guang sent me back just now, he told me that the Queen Mother sprinkled salt on the palace road, but it is inevitable that there are places that are not easy to make people fall, so let me be careful!" The Queen Mother wants me to return to Renshou Palace, and this attitude is to clear the biggest obstacle to my return! But what is her old man's identity? How can all the corners and corners be arranged for me? The man in the middle of this will not give up, and I have to deal with it myself! ”
Xiuwan sighed and muttered, "It's only been a few days since Miss entered the palace?" Why is that little guy just staring at you? ”
"No matter what they think, I, Su Ruhua, am not those concubines who will only hide in the corner and cry after being bullied, since they still have to live in the palace, there will always be a time for them to come back!" Su Ruhui snorted coldly, "The hints given by the Queen Mother are enough, if this is the case, I can't go back to Renshou Palace, then there is no need to raise the Queen Mother back to the knees, just go home and lose face!" ”
"Miss is saying, is this also a double test for the Queen Mother?" Xiuwan was surprised.
"Well, that's what I guessed." Su Ruhui nodded, she suddenly remembered something, took out a porcelain box from her arms, Xiuwan saw it, and said, "Where did this come from?" It's so cold that Miss Tian still has to put it close to her, don't freeze it, right? ”
Su Ruhui was reminded by her to think that this thing was taken out of the prince's arms, and at that time it was still with the prince's body temperature, but he didn't feel excited, and the poor prince must be as cold as ice when he put it in his arms, and the next time he has the opportunity to see his third brother, he has to remind him that although it seems that his third brother has a good relationship with the prince, he can't really treat the prince as a slave.
Like such a porcelain box, if the palace knows that Su Rufeng is carrying it close to Ganlin in this cold day, he must make a note for the Su family!
"It's okay, this was brought to me by the third brother Tuo Prince, I haven't seen what is inside."
Su Ruhui said as she opened the box.
