In Chuxiu Palace, the queen picked a new girl named He Huan to serve at close quarters. Even though there have been so many people around me, I am still alone in the end.

He Huan is a new girl from the Internal Affairs Department who has entered the palace, and she is only thirteen or fourteen years old. Young, immature, uneasy about everything, and not familiar with the rules of survival in the harem, but he looks docile and well-behaved, and he doesn't talk much, which makes the queen feel comfortable. Also because she was familiar with the queen's temperament, she added two new pots of jasmine and placed them in the study.

Ruyue just walked in, and she smelled the fragrance of flowers, and she was a little surprised. "The queen mother is blessed with Jin'an."

The queen lowered her head and painted peonies, and when she heard Ruyue's voice, she slowly put down the pen in her hand. "Concubine Ru is here for the title of Wanyan nobleman given by the Internal Affairs Office, right?"

"The queen knows it in her heart." Ruyue walked in unhurriedly and said to Pei Shuang: "Just wait outside." ”

"He Huan, you can go down too." The queen looked at the posture of the concubine, and she didn't vomit unpleasantly, so she also retreated from the people close to her. "If the concubine has something to say, just say it, this palace is quite interested in painting today, it is best to make a long story short."

"The concubine sent the maid of Chuxiu Palace, and it doesn't matter if the queen doesn't like it. But even if you choose, you should always choose a few things that are safe. He Huan's girl is a little younger, and even the queen you have always disliked Jasmine She doesn't know. It's hard for the queen to paint so quietly and calmly, in the end, the concubines are underestimated. Ruyue's lukewarm words seemed reasonable.

After sitting firmly, she continued: "Don't talk about anything else for the time being, Wanyan's family is pregnant again, and the Internal Affairs Office has drafted a few interesting words as titles, and the concubines like this flattering word the most." What does the queen think? ”

The queen smiled slightly, and simply sat down steadily: "Charming, beautiful." There is a saying that the gesture is cute. Not bad! The eyelids drooped slightly, how could the queen not understand the mind of the concubine. It's just that this Wanyan clan is just like the Su Wanni Guarjia clan in the past, and in the end he is also a subordinate person, can he care so much?

"What the concubines value is flattery. Whether it is to please the fox or to bewitch the lord, it is always this word, and there is nothing inappropriate. "Ruyue's words are extremely mean, people's hearts are always insufficient, and if you can produce an concubine, you will definitely be able to finish out Yan's like this.

She is just chilling, and even now, the emperor is still so loving and reluctant. After all, it is the work of the emperor's flesh and blood, or whether Wanyan really has such charm, it is really unclear.

"If Concubine Ru looks good, that's really good." The queen smiled shallowly, as if it was none of her business. In fact, in her heart, everything is no longer what it should be now. The emperor's heart is gone, and the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother are not close to themselves. As soon as she closed her eyes, what came to her mind was the words of the third elder brother who advised her that day.

She never pronounced these words to others. It's not that I don't want to, but I don't dare. How can anyone be a son and ask his emperor to give up his power and honor and disgrace. He didn't understand, it wasn't she, who was a mother, who wanted the Qing Dynasty, to put it bluntly, wasn't it for them?

The heart was tearing a little bit, and the queen only felt that her chest was stuffy. His face is not as good-looking as he was just now. "After all, you are the one who assists in the affairs of the harem, and the palace is also happy to be idle. It's enough to paint peonies and write every day. ”

Ruyue had heard Concubine Yu talk about the queen's abnormality before, and she didn't believe it very much. But now it seems that this is really a bit strange. can make a ruthless woman become as wise and clear as a bodhisattva in an instant. It's really a miracle.

But can the queen really let go of the power of the throne? The only person who can compete with him at the moment has no one to do except this queen. Thinking about this, Ruyue was still a little uneasy: "Since the queen has no meaning, the concubine will do it." The assistant sixth house is not fake, but it is always an assistant. The phoenix seal is still firmly in the hands of the queen, and the concubines dare not trespass your identity.

It's not the one who fell in vain. Moreover, the queen is the queen, the emperor's main palace mother. The concubine is just a small concubine, and she is inevitably honest, so she naturally has to go through this experience. ”

"Concubine Ru still doesn't worry about this palace, are you afraid that this palace will compete with you for power?" The queen asked frankly, it was really because of her emaciation. "There is no grace in this palace, and there is no protection, and there are just two elder brothers who are not close to me at all. What can hinder you? ”

"Not close at all?" Ruyue sneered, her crystal skin was smeared with pale red powder, and she was warm and moist in the sunlight that penetrated the window lattice, which was very good-looking. But the red lips were moist, the teeth were white, and the words were extremely cold: "Why did the queen say this?" It's like accusing the concubine and taking your flesh and bones. ”

This is the most sore point of the queen, right? The fourth elder brother Mianxin is the closest to the jade concubine, which is the queen's heart disease. Ruyue was a little colder, and her face was like frost: "It is understandable that the queen mother wants to blame the concubines." It's just that the jade concubine really feels sorry for the fourth elder brother, and she really has no intentions. Please also ask the queen to know the treasure. ”

The queen is a little worried, if it is just because of the fourth elder brother, but Miankai is different, she has never understood her heart as the emperor's mother. The queen would rather take these words into the coffin than spit them out in front of her former enemies. What's more, how could she say it, the third elder brother would rather break with himself than compete with Mianning for the position of prince.

Holding on to the huge pain in her heart, the queen's expression was a little detached: "Don't worry, if you are a concubine, this palace has no intention of blaming others." It has been destined for a long time. ”

"Shibei should be impressed in three days." Ruyue raised her face softly and looked at the queen's dejected gaze: "The concubine is a little afraid to admit it." What's wrong with the Queen? has no fighting spirit at all, can it be said that he is used to living a peaceful life, but he is not used to the original appearance of the harem? ”

The queen was silent, and sighed helplessly for a long time: "This palace also wants to ask Concubine Ru, today you are only born to Princess Gulun, if you give birth to a brother in the future, will you be like the palace in the past?" ”

"The queen is talking about competing for the position of prince?" Ruyue boldly stated that she was not afraid that the queen would be dissatisfied.

Sure enough, the queen still looked sad and smiled plausibly.

"It's the position of the prince. Even the queen's phoenix crown, I have never coveted it. "What I have never wanted is just the emperor's heart. The second half of the sentence, Ruyue did not say. She didn't know if the queen could understand, and she didn't know if she still hadn't had this in mind.

After all, she will really be very jealous, jealous that the emperor used to stare at others with the warm gaze that used to only stare at herself. probably can't get rid of such emotions, Ruyue feels cold.

"Maybe one day, you will be like Hongu." The queen's words have a long meaning, and the meaning is so much that even she can't figure it out. Is it as unscrupulous as himself, ruthless, and doing everything. is still as frustrated as himself, discouraged, and even tired of everything in the harem.

Or, like myself, I tossed for most of my life before I felt that it was true that I was greedy for power, but I still cared about the emperor sincerely.

There are always too many meanings, and the queen's eyes are slightly moist. "Rufei, I hope you remember what you said today. This palace is tired, you kneel down. ”

Tasteless, Ruyue stood up lightly: "The concubine retired." When she turned around and was about to leave, Ruyue glanced at Jasmine with great nostalgia: "Doesn't the queen mother dislike Jasmine?" If you don't like it, why don't you let people move out, won't it make you depressed and irritable to face like this all day? ”

"After watching it for a long time, you will naturally get used to it." The queen replied lightly, picked up the brush again, lightly dipped it in green ink, and continued to paint.

When Pei Shuang saw her young lady come out, her face was very ugly, and she thought that the queen did not allow her proposal. hurriedly came up and comforted: "Miss, don't feel uncomfortable. The queen doesn't like this flattering word, so let's change it again. The left is just for a lower hoof, is it really worth bothering us? There are a lot of minions in the Ministry of Internal Affairs waiting to serve you. ”

Ruyue nodded, walked out of Chuxiu Palace, and said, "The queen is approved, you go and tell the Internal Affairs Office to use this flattering word." ”

"Then Miss, you are ......" Pei Shuang hadn't seen Ruyue so depressed for a long time, and he was a little worried.

"It's just a little emotional once in a while." Ruyue squeezed out a smile and looked at the sky: "Xiaowei shouldn't be asleep at this time, accompany me to Concubine Zhuang to see her." ”

Because of this, Pei Shuang was a little unhappy: "The little princess is your own flesh and blood, and now it's good, she will grow up in Concubine Zhuang's palace every day." I'm afraid that I'm only afraid of the coming day, and I will only kiss Concubine Zhuang. Miss, how can you give it up? Or take the little princess back to our Yongshou Palace to take care of it, right? ”

Ruyue shook her head softly and said comfortingly: "I'm also reluctant, so I naturally know your thoughts." can be busy with the affairs of the harem all day long, where can I take care of her. Besides, Concubine Zhuang really feels sorry for Xiaowei, and Xiaowei is also Concubine Zhuang's memory. Wouldn't it be nice if we had time to go over and have a look? ”

Pei Shuang bowed his head slightly, and didn't say anything more. But as soon as he raised his head, he saw Enfei and Wanyan's together, with a few palace maids with them, walking slowly on the palace road, which was extremely comfortable. "It's really a narrow road, young lady, who is it if it's not that hoof?"

Ruyue sat on her shoulder, and saw that the two of them were nervous from a distance. It turned out that she really didn't like this Wanyan clan, and she would feel panicked even when she met her. But why she felt like this, she really couldn't tell.

Before that, the emperor loved Concubine Hua, and after that, the emperor was obsessed with the Liu family. But after all, it's not as good as this Wanyan clan makes Ruyue uncomfortable, what is going on?
