Chapter 226: Rou Shu
Back in the Yutang Palace, Xiuwan put the snacks that Feiyan gave her on the table, at this time, the floating water happened to be brought into the basin, and called Miss, Xiuwan's hand shook, and a bag of candied fruit pickled with rose petals and fine spices was scattered all over the place, and a few of them jumped up and stuck to Su Ruhui's skirt.
"Miss forgive the sin, the slave missed." Xiuwan said apologetically.
"This is specially given to me by Sister Yi'er, why are you so careless?" Su Ruhui has always been generous to Xiuwan, but this will inevitably reproach, "Go back and make a few snacks and send them to Zixiao Xie to make amends!" ”
Xiuwan hurriedly responded, and ordered the floating water to clean it up, and the floating water looked at the felt carpet that had been dyed with sugar stains on the candied fruit: "This blanket is still changed, I'm afraid it won't be able to wash it like this." ”
"There's a new one in the back storeroom, and you call the egret and the flying gull to come in and help you." Su Ruhui frowned and looked at the hem of her skirt, Xiuwan hurriedly opened the box and chose a ethereal skirt: "The one on the young lady's body will also be replaced, and the slave will go to wash it in a while." ”
The felt carpet in Su Ruhui's inner room is almost as big as the floor in the inner room, so if you want to change it, the action is not small, she changed her skirt from behind the screen, and said: "I'll go outside for a while, Xiuwan, you watch them do things, don't break the inkstones on the case, they are all tributes from the Queen Mother." ”
"Miss, where are you going?" Xiuwan was not very reassured.
"I'm not going anywhere, just walk under the Yutang Palace, I've only seen it on the temple base around here, I guess I will turn around, and you may not be able to get it right here." Su Ruhua said.
The jade hall is the hall, five before and after, a small world by itself, in addition to the peach forest around, there is a piece of pavilion clustering, originally for those concubines who have a better relationship with the queen mother, but when Emperor Yongxian, the harem concubines struggled extremely fiercely, and finally the concubine of the Yuan Dynasty succeeded to the throne, and the son of the Yuan Hou's rival concubine was far away to the most remote fief in Dayong, still angry and angry, according to the ancestral system, Emperor Mu succeeded to the throne, Emperor Xian's concubine is naturally a concubine, qualified to live in Renshou Palace, Residence in the Jade Hall Hall.
However, Emperor Mu ignored the criticism of the history books, and insisted on issuing an order, Renshou Palace only allowed the Queen Mother to live alone from now on, and the concubines were all assigned by him to those remote palaces near the Huagong Palace.
Since then, this jade hall has been vacant. However, the place where the concubines of the former dynasty, and often the concubines whose status is second only to the queen mother, lived, is actually not bad. It's just that Su Ruhui was afraid that people would say that she had overstepped, so she only cleaned up the main hall, the dormitory and a side room as a warehouse, Xiuwan and the others each cleaned up a room, and the rest of the place was left untouched.
This will make her dormitory go big, except for the main hall, there is nowhere to go, sitting in the main hall, she is impatient, but she can't get into the slave's room, so she wants to take this opportunity to go around.
Looking down from the Yutang Palace, the peach forest has begun to sparse, and the grass and trees are depressed.
Su Ruhui circled around the main hall, and walked into a small courtyard at will, in which a tall locust tree was born, but unfortunately it was not when the locust flowers opened, but a few withered yellow leaves fell in front of her, Su Ruhui frowned: "Who are you?" ”
Under the locust tree, there is a woman wearing plain clothes, high bun and wide sleeves, although not decorated with pearls and emeralds, but not like a palace maid, is looking up at the top of the tree stupidly, hearing the voice, the woman was shocked, and slowly turned around.
"Who are you? How did it end up here? Su Ruhui looked at this person, this plain-clothed woman is actually not very old, but she is a little older than Su Ruhui, but because of the sadness between her eyebrows, it seems to be shrouded in a layer of old age. She has a pointed chin, extraordinarily large eyes because of emaciation, and a slightly narrow face, which is not very beautiful, but can only be said to be delicate, and there is a trace of flattery hidden in the delicateness.
She turned around and found Su Ruhui, her eyes first showed doubts, and then when she heard Su Ruhui ask, her eyes were in a trance, and then she became self-deprecating, and she flicked her sleeves and was about to leave.
The attitude of the plain-clothed woman who had no one in her eyes made Su Ruhui secretly annoyed: "This jade hall hall is the place where the Queen Mother gave me to live, I don't look like a palace maid, you came here alone, you don't have to bother me!" You tell me what to say before you go! ”
"Do you know who I am?" The plain-clothed woman walked not far from Su Ruhua and said in a disdainful and sneering tone.
"Although I haven't been to the Cloud Cutting Pavilion, I know that it's not far from here." Su Ruhui said lightly, "But Huo Qi and Zhou Yi'er both told me that the county lord of Roushu was accompanied by her grandmother, and now I don't know if the county lord took pity on you and let you be alone for a while, or the county lord was skilled and got rid of the grandmother?" ”
When the plain-clothed woman saw Su Ruhua reveal her identity, her face suddenly showed shame and anger: "What else do you know?" ”
"What is the county lord doing here?" Su Ruhui said dissatisfiedly, "I remember that the Queen Mother told the county lord that the county lord is not in good health, so it is better to stay in the Cutting Cloud Pavilion to recuperate." ”
"Hmph, recuperate!" Rou Shu glanced at her disdainfully, "I also know who you are, Huaizhen mentioned that the person who robbed the King of Chu with her, you may not be much better than me, but you haven't been caught!" ”
Su Ruhui originally had no hostility towards this Rou Shu county lord, but she suddenly bumped into her alone here, thinking of the Queen Mother's Yi Zhi and Rou Shu's gossip, she was afraid of falling into the calculation, and if she retreated like this, it would lead to speculation, so she asked her to give an explanation, which would make Rou Shu compare herself with her, and she was immediately annoyed.
"Although Concubine Song is only a concubine, she was raised in front of her mother-in-law in the end, otherwise how could she become the concubine of King Ning?" Su Ruhui sneered, and directly dragged Concubine Song in, causing Rou Shu's face to change color suddenly, "Why is the county lord so rude?" The county lord was sick, and the queen mother took pity on the concubine, so she took it into the palace to recuperate, but she didn't let the county lord enter the palace to spread rumors! ”
Although Rou Shu is a concubine, she can look at her temper, but she seems to be from the same mother as Huaizhen, and she is full of anger and shouts: "What kind of rest! You all know exactly why I entered the palace! It's just that I was wronged, but you hooked up with the King of Chu since you were a few years ago, and Huaizhen mentioned you several times when he returned to the palace, don't think I don't know! Now that I have fallen to the point of this seclusion, you are so shameless, but do you still have the face to talk about me here? ”
"Wronged?" Su Ruhui was furious, but her face was still calm and calm, "When that incident first happened, I was also recuperating outside the palace, but I heard a few words from someone to mention it......"
Rou Shu was stunned, seeing that her expression was calm, she just thought she really wanted to tell herself, and subconsciously said, "What did they say?" ”
"They say that King Ning's son is handsome, and many women in the imperial capital are very admired, and the county lord is young, and you can't help it, and there are also ......" Su Ruhua said slowly, but Rou Shu almost fainted: "Impossible!" ”
"The county lord believes it or not, but I believe it anyway." Su Ruhui looked at her with a smile, "By the way, the two subordinates in my family have always had excellent memories, and after ten or twenty years, maybe they still remember, the county lord doesn't believe it, and when the time comes, call and tell the county lord, it's nothing." ”
