Chapter 54: Sycophancy
As soon as she left, Chen's mother came out of the kitchen, looked at her background and sighed: "She looks good, but it's a pity that her background is too bad, no wonder she was thrown here." ”
Father Chen said: "I don't think so. This girl looks the same age as Yan Fei, but she can speak and act much more calmly than her, who can say for sure what will happen in the future. You'd better take care of your own daughter, and don't let you get into trouble outside. ”
In less than half a day, the news that His Highness had brought back a military prostitute spread in the palace like a wind blowing across the grassland. Yu Ruyan walked all the way to the warehouse, and the people along the way looked at her with strange eyes, and when she left, they immediately gathered together and pointed at her vest and whispered.
All this Yu Ruyan has never been a stranger, she was also pointed at like this in the palace of Qi in the past, so she was used to it, and she didn't feel the slightest discomfort, and walked in front of everyone without squinting and hearing it.
At the beginning of the month, people from all rooms and courtyards went to the warehouse to receive a month's worth of items. As soon as Yu Ruyan entered, she saw the thin curtain, she was the most face-saving first-class girl beside the side concubine, with an average appearance, but the aura between her eyebrows and eyes made her the most outstanding among the maid servants. At this moment, she sat leisurely on the chair and drank tea with Erlang's legs crossed, surrounded by a group of flattering subordinates.
A little girl in a rough blue subordinate dress half-knelt in front of her, with a delicate rose flower on her head, flatteringly helping her beat her legs, and said vigorously: "Sister Thin Curtain, is there a lack of girls in the courtyard of the side concubine?" I can pour tea, deliver water, and do errands······"
A sneer appeared on the face of the thin curtain, and he sneered: "Is the side concubine's room you want to enter?" It's a beautiful thought. ”
The girl in blue blushed on her face, and still gritted her teeth and begged: "Sister, I don't want to be a first-class girl in the house, I can leave it to sweep the yard in the outer courtyard." Ah, the girl who burns the fire will do the same······"
At this moment, the thin curtain saw Yu Ruyan who had just entered the door, and the tea bowl that had just been held was stagnant, thinking of the bowl of lotus soup this morning, and a triumphant face was immediately pulled down.
Although the side concubine disliked and despised her because of Yu Ruyan's status as a military prostitute, she never forgot the lotus soup after she went back, and there was also a hint of blaming her for not being smart and considerate enough, which made the fine curtain, who had always been very conceited, annoyed Yu Ruyan who stole her limelight.
Yu Ruyan passed by the curtain, stopped, nodded to her, and left. They only met for the second time, and they didn't say a word, and they just nodded their heads, but all this was very unpleasant in the eyes of the fine curtains.
Usually she is in the mansion, and she is more respected and sought after than ordinary concubines, just like now, everyone whispers hello to her, and there are many sycophants, and Yu Ruyan, a third-class girl who was born as a military prostitute, just stood and nodded to her-
Yu Ruyan went to the warehouse to report for registration, and the little maid in charge of distributing the goods saw that she was good-looking, so her heart deviated to her, took the list of items in her hand, and said, "You came to receive rice and grain at this hour?" I'll get it for you first, so that you don't have to delay the hour of your meal." ”
She hurriedly thanked her gratefully, stabbed obliquely into a hand that stretched out, snatched the list in the little girl's hand and threw it on the ground, and said coldly: "She is afraid of delaying the hour when she eats, and the side concubine is not afraid of delaying?" What kind of dog eyes do you have! ”
