"I heard that you sent a charcoal basin to Shuyue Palace?"

The ninth day of November is the birthday of the noble concubine Huo, and Emperor Changtai specially held a banquet in Xifu Palace to celebrate it.

And the people of Xifu Palace were busy all day, and they were tired and fell asleep at night, but they were Gan Ran took the opportunity to sneak out and come to find Su Ruhui.

"The palace door has been closed, how did His Highness come out?" Su Ruhui looked at a miscellaneous book sent by Gan Ran on the beauty couch, glanced at him lazily, and did not answer the question.

Gan Ran said casually: "What's so difficult about this? Before the palace gate was closed, I said that I was going to sleep, and ordered no one around me to disturb me, and then made a human shape with a jade pillow and placed it in the tent, changed my body and ran out of the corner door, and hid in a corner where no one was locked until the palace gate, and I heard that no one in the Xifu Palace was looking for me, so I knew that I had been deceived. ”

He urged, "You haven't said it yet, did you send something to Shuyue Palace?" ”

"I originally heard that there are eyes and ears everywhere in the palace and didn't believe it, but I didn't expect it to be true." Su Ruhui snorted, "This Qiongtong Palace is full of people, and there are only two halls living in it, I asked Xiuwan to send the charcoal basin to the night, but I didn't expect His Highness to be detained by the concubine in Xifu Palace!" ”

"Who can be blamed for this? The charcoal you have here is sent by me, it is the cold incense charcoal that can only be used in the palace is a product or above, although there is a lot of effort to conceal it, but the palace maid who delivered the meal still smells the slightest cold fragrance, the palace maid is a lax mouth, after returning to the imperial dining room, he asked his companion if his father is going to regain his favor with Mrs. Yinghua, and there is a rumor outside, you are afraid that you don't know if you are hiding here, right? Gan Ran sneered.

Su Ruhui suddenly felt a thrill, and quickly sat up: "Won't it?" How so! And now? ”

"Dead!" Gan Ran said lightly.

Su Ruhui was startled, and the books in her hand fell: "You mean Shuyue Palace......"

"What do you think? I mean the palace maid who spread the rumors! Gan Ran glared at her, "Talking about the emperor's favor in vain, spreading rumors, and being personally ordered by the queen to send the court staff to be punished for seventy, and he died before he finished the fight!" ”

Su Ruhui's face turned pale, her lips trembled for a long time, and then she said in a strange voice: "I didn't trouble you, did I?" ”

Her heart jumped suddenly, because Su Ruhui herself was tasteless and classless, and she originally got the first-level treatment of a concubine, which was also sent by the Queen Mother, since she moved to the Chunsheng Palace and left the Queen Mother's side, she was only sent away as an idler in the palace, but it was slightly better than ordinary palace maids.

After the winter, the Shang Sleep Bureau was busy distributing charcoal and fire things for the palaces, but as usual, they forgot about Qiongtong Palace.

Later, I came over and saw it by chance, and turned around and asked people to send charcoal.

After the charcoal burned, the cold incense curled, although it was surprising, but Su Ruhua came out of the door valve, and he saw a lot of strange things, and he didn't think it was so rare, so he didn't think much about it when he gave it to Shuyue Palace. In addition to being reminded by Xiuwan, I thought about how to deal with the overstep, but I didn't expect it to cause a lot of discussion in the harem, and even involved Mrs. Yinghua, who was already crazy.

"No, the mother concubine told the queen the truth, and the queen pressed down the source of the cold incense charcoal in Shuyue Palace, and only said that it was the palace maid who was beaten to death." Gan Ran sighed, "But the queen also said that cold incense charcoal is not something that can be used by a random person in the palace, and euphemistically reprimanded the mother concubine for conniving at me, and the mother concubine was not willing to say anything about me when she returned to Xifu Palace, but a few days ago I went to ask the imperial grandmother to say goodbye, and she was scolded by her old man, and she was careful for a long time to make her happy." ”

When Gan Ran was in private, he always called Zhou's son only "queen", not "queen mother".

Su Ruhui hurriedly apologized: "It's all my fault, and I have affected His Royal Highness and the noble concubine." She asked worriedly, "The Queen Mother personally asked, what did she say?" ”

"Where will this idea be taken to heart by the imperial grandmother? She also thinks that since the cold charcoal can only be used if it is more than one product, I will give it to you, and it will inevitably break the rules. Gan Ran didn't care, "As for me to send you something, the imperial grandmother doesn't mind, and the palace is not so short!" ”

Su Ru said strangely: "Really? ”

"You just said that the palace is full of eyes and ears, why are you confused now?" Gan Ran smiled, "Do you really think that I don't even know about sending you charcoal and books?" Well, most people may not know right away, but if the imperial grandmother and the queen in charge of palace affairs don't know, they have been in the palace for so long! ”

Su Ruhui was stunned by what he said, and then listened to Gan Ran continue: "They won't pay attention to this little thing." ”

“…… His Royal Highness fell into the well, and the two palaces also knew about it? Su Ruhui was dumbfounded for a long time, and suddenly remembered this.

"Naturally, but it's just pretending not to happen." Gan Ran was not surprised, and nodded.

Su Ruhui couldn't help but say, "Who did it that time?" ”

"There's no such thing as falling into a well, where did anyone do it?" Gan Ran asked rhetorically, "Are you confused?" ”

Su Ruhui immediately stopped, royal selfishness is not something she can discuss, even if Gan Ran's personality is not bad and she is not very old, but this realization is still there.

The two were silent, and Su Ruhui asked, "Your Highness came today to tell me not to contact Shuyue Hall in the future?" ”

"Yes, the one in Shuyue Hall has a very delicate status in the palace, so don't approach them casually." Gan Ran nodded, "The person who brings them food now is an aunt personally appointed by the queen, who is very shrewd, if you go out to hang out in the future, it's best not to get close to Shuyue Palace!" ”

"Who is happy to go out on such a cold day?" Su Ruhui said a word, and suddenly remembered that he had nothing to do a few days ago, and ran to Shuyue Hall in the middle of the night to cause this incident? I couldn't go on anymore.

Suddenly, Gan Ran frowned slightly and lowered his voice: "Have you seen the prince in private?" ”

"Huh?" Su Ruhui immediately became alert, shook her head and said, "Except for when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was by the Queen Mother's side, when did you see it in private?" ”

Although she treats her well, but in the palace, even if this foreign man is his brother, it will be a disaster to spread it, and now there is an example of Shuyue Palace, Su Ruhui doesn't want to affect the prince who is kind to help.

"Haven't seen it?" Gan Ran was a little strange, "I heard Aunt Nianmeng, the big palace maid next to the mother, say that the mother concubine went to intercede for me, but the queen was still very angry, and wanted to let the grandmother around her teach you the rules of the palace, and punish you for copying the palace rules, and then the prince came forward to intercede for you, saying that you are still young, and it is also an unintentional mistake." The queen gave up. ”

"Really? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is such a good person. Su Ruhui said lightly.

Gan Ran looked at her and didn't look like she had seen the prince in private, so she said: "Our prince brother is not a nosy person, I think he will actually come forward to speak for you, and I thought you had seen him in private, what kind of friendship do you have with him!" ”

Su Ruhui also muttered to herself in her heart, maybe Su Rufeng has something to do with the prince? But she couldn't figure out how the ten-year-old Su Rufeng and the ten-year-old prince, one in the palace and the other outside the palace, met?

She decided to ask her third brother after leaving the palace, so she put this question aside and said with a smile: "Maybe the prince is kind-hearted, or it happens that he is in a good mood?" ”

"Well, that's right." Gan Ran nodded, and suddenly his eyes rolled, "But there is another possibility, this possibility is even greater!" ”

"What?"

"It's just an excuse for you to go to the palace to accompany you, you should know the real purpose, right? Maybe the prince's brother took a fancy to you in the queen mother, maybe I will call you the imperial sister-in-law in the future? Gan Ran laughed.

"Your Highness!" Su Ruhui blushed when she boarded, and reached out angrily to push him.

Gan Ran grinned and said, "What are you embarrassed about? The few people who entered the palace with you dreamed of being favored by the prince's brother. You probably don't know it yet, during this time, the imperial grandmother often sent that Miss Huo Qi to send some rare fruits and snacks to the study to the prince, because of this matter, your sister Yi'er was so angry that she hid and cried several times! And the two in Weiyang Palace, with the convenience of the queen, every time the prince goes to Weiyang Palace to ask for peace, they can always find seventeen or eighteen excuses to talk for a long time, poor our prince brother, a few times has been delayed for a long time, and the homework has not been completed, so let the prince clean up! ”

Su Ruhui couldn't help but laugh when she heard him: "Why do you seem to be gloating?" ”

She suddenly thought of what Zhou Yi'er said before, the Queen Mother helped Huo Qinglian get close to the emperor, and helped her get close to the prince, and she didn't know what the Queen Mother had in mind! Taking advantage of Gan Ran in front of him, he hurriedly asked: "I heard that the Huo family sent Huo Qi into the palace to be the imperial concubine, why did the Queen Mother let her get close to the prince?" ”

"Who are you listening to the rumors?" Gan Ran was surprised, "Huo Qicai is two years older than the prince's brother, right?" She is the daughter of the county lord of Kangyue, her grandfather is a princess, her status is so noble, her aunt, my mother is still a concubine in the palace, and she has not fallen out of favor, the Huo family sent her to her father? Now that the high-ranking positions in the palace are almost full, the highest one who is not full is just Concubine De, is the Huo family stupid? ”

"When I first entered the palace, I listened to Song Caisu when I was in the side hall of Weiyang Palace with others." Su Ruhui smiled embarrassedly, "At that time, she suddenly shouted that the mouse scared us, it should be her nonsense." ”

Gan Ran's face became bright: "What did you say in the side hall?" ”

"Nothing, just a casual chat."

"It's better to be like this, that side hall, but there is a dark room, so that people can hide in it and see and hear everything that is happening in the side hall clearly." Gan Ran smiled, "I now know why Song Caisu was left in Weiyang Palace by the queen, such a rumor-mongering master, can you rest assured that the queen is not around?" ”
