An Concubine left, and Pei Shuang hurriedly ordered someone to follow. Turning around, he asked Ruyue: "Since Miss has the intention to leave Concubine An alive, why did she deliberately say that the Liu family in the cold palace starved to death in front of her?" Is it because you want to test her? Pei Shuang never understood what value this An Concubine had to us. ”

Ruyue shook her head, and only sighed: "The pregnancy period in this palace is still long, and the emperor will not come back for a while, just take your time." Today, whether you believe a person or not can be judged by her words! You! Gently on Pei Shuang's head, Ruyue was melancholy: "Your temperament, after all, is still not suitable for survival in the palace, in the end, it is difficult for you." ”

Pei Shuang was very unimpressed, smiled heartily, and completed a beautiful arc of his eyebrows: "Why did you get there again, the slave maid has a straight temperament, and she doesn't know how to swallow her anger, she can't get used to it everywhere, and she offends people everywhere, so it's really not suitable for survival in the palace." However, the slave maid has never felt that there is any difference between herself here and in the house, as long as she can accompany the young lady, there is no difference after all. ”

"You have a sweet mouth and can say nice things." Ruyue sighed, but did she deliberately debunk it, if there is really no difference between the palace and the house, how can Pei Shuang need to marry an old eunuch and carry the name of "food" to this day. In other words, the woman next to her has already married peacefully, and her children are around her knees.

But what else does Pei Shuang have besides himself? Ruyue always hopes that she can marry her beloved in this life, so that she can live up to it. Thinking like this, Ruyue rarely thought of Zhen Ning, a man who was strange and familiar to her. "Help me to rest, I'm really tired."

"It's okay, it's all this time." Pei Shuang looked at the sky, and he really felt sorry for Miss. The two of them slowly went to bed, and the long night was finally over.

Early the next morning, the queen sent someone to send the news that the Liu family had starved to death in the cold palace to the Yongshou Palace. At that time, Ruyue had just gotten up, but she responded lightly, and ordered to bury it.

At this time, the catkins had been accepted into the Yongshou Palace safe and sound, Pei Shuang chose a more private room, and ordered a credible person to serve in person, and even the diet was flowers planted in the backyard, which would not attract the special attention of others.

Even Qin'er also said: "Our Yongshou Palace is becoming more and more lively, in the past, the emperor only rewarded you to live alone, but now it's good, the good nobles are here, and that one is also there, in the end, it is not a lonely courtyard." ”

When it comes to the noble people, Ruyue can't help but feel sorry: "Among the embroidery girls in that batch, the top-notch ones are the first nobles, the first nobles, the noble people and the Chenchang people." It's good now, no one has gotten the emperor's favor in the end, one is dead, one is crazy and one is injured. The bamboo basket was empty, and they knew that it would be like this, would their parents and relatives regret that they insisted on sending them to the palace in the first place? ”

"Mother." Qin'er nodded slightly: "It's not a matter of persistence or non-persistence, but the number of lives of the banner woman is like this!" ”

"That's right." Ruyue pursed her lips and smiled slightly: "Since the queen is so anxious, then let's arrange it as soon as possible." I can't let her wait for trouble! ”

Pei Shuang nodded, said in understanding, and said with a smile: "It's not bad to wait for trouble, it's more interesting to watch if you're impetuous." It's a pity that the slave doesn't have the luck of the little horse, and the queen rolled her eyes last time! ”

Qin'er and Ruyue glanced at each other, and couldn't help laughing.

"Master, Gonggong Jiang from the Internal Affairs Office is here." Le Xi'er shouted outside the door. Pei Shuang couldn't help frowning: "It's so early in the morning, what is Gonggong Jiang doing here?" ”

"Invite someone in first." Ruyue took the last escort and turned around to see Jiang Lian come in. "The affairs of the Internal Affairs Office are busy, why did Gonggong Jiang have the time to come to the palace early this morning?"

Jiang Lian's face was not very good, and he was accompanied by a little eunuch holding a thick booklet. "The servants have sorted out the items needed in the palace recently, and they are all written in the booklet, and the list of numbers is also sorted out, and the concubine is invited to look at it. If there is anything inappropriate, just tell the slave to change it. ”

Qin'er felt a little strange, what the Internal Affairs Office purchased on weekdays, she only made her own decisions, and never came to ask for advice before like a concubine. Looking at it like this, it seems that Jiang Lian has something to say, but it is difficult to say it clearly, so he found this reason. "Le Xi'er, you went to hold the booklet and put it on the desk in the study, and the mother will naturally read it if she has the kung fu."

Le Xi'er snorted and retreated with the little eunuch.

Ruyue asked Jiang Lian at this time: "Is my father-in-law in any trouble, there are no outsiders here now, just talk to the palace." ”

"The objects that were sent to the palace of the noble man before were all returned by the nobleman. It is only said that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not as good as when the emperor was in the previous era. This is also forgotten, and it is said that the slave chose the best and then sent it, but was blocked out of the palace by the slaves of Changchun Palace. only said that the food and clothing in the harem were all sent by the queen's Chuxiu Palace in person, and there was no need for the servants to worry about it. Jiang Lian didn't like to say some polite nonsense, so he chose the most important thing as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Originally, it was okay to send it from Chuxiu Palace, but the slave was always worried, after all, that charming noble man had a body." After a pause, Jiang Lian saw that the concubine was silent, and then continued: "The queen mother has ordered a new errand. One is to draw up a title for the nobles, and the other is to screen the list of embroidered women of the right age in the home of the hero, make a booklet, and present it for selection.

These two things, if there is no emperor's approval, the slaves really dare not do it. I also hope that you can help you think about ideas and see how to do a comprehensive method. The slave was afraid that if something went wrong, the queen refused to ...... Wouldn't it have to be borne by the entire Ministry of Internal Affairs? ”

Ruyue smiled slightly, without losing the demeanor and dignity of the concubine: "The queen is the master of the harem, and now that the emperor is not in the palace, she naturally has to listen to the will of the mother." Gonggong Jiang can't help but worry a lot! ”

Jiang Lian carefully tasted the meaning of the concubine's words, and said after a little thought: "With the mention of the concubine, the slave will be at ease." must follow the instructions of the queen mother and act cautiously. There is another thing...... "Actually, this matter has nothing to do with Yongshou Palace, but Jiang Lian feels strange, and he can't help but mention it."

"This palace has always liked fast-talking minions." Ruyue stroked the jade ring on her finger and seemed to be smiling. "Father-in-law Jiang has something to say, don't you have the same mind when you come to Yongshou Palace!"

"Yes." Jiang Lian didn't deny it, but said worriedly: "A few days ago, I heard that the imperial pharmacy caught a thief, but because it was a first offense, it was only handed over to the father-in-law in charge of the matter, and it was not reported. But what this thief stole was the objects of Yanxi Palace. It's not anything else valuable, it's just a purse used by Concubine Yu in the past. ”

Jiang Lian took out the purse from his arms and presented it to Pei Shuang's hands with both hands: "Please look at it like a noble concubine." ”

Ruyue knew at a glance that the purse was often hung around the waist of Sister Yushu. Even the corners of the smooth brocade are worn and white, so you know that it has been some years. But why didn't the thief steal anything valuable, but only took a fancy to this purse? For a while, Ruyue couldn't see anything wrong, so she only said: "There is Father-in-law Lao." ”

"Then the slave will not disturb the mother's rest." Jiang Lian was about to leave, but he heard Ruyue say eloquently.

"The internal affairs office must not be perfunctory about the errand of Changchun Palace, and it must be recorded in the booklet and written clearly one stroke at a time. In triplicate, the queen naturally doesn't have to give it, and in about half a month, let someone send one to Chang Yonggui to submit it to the emperor. and keep the other for yourselves, and do not lose it. Another copy was sent to the main palace here. "Ruyue arranged it properly, in order to prevent the queen from changing her face.

"Thank you for your patronage, thank you for your patronage." Jiang Lian knew that Concubine Ru had shown her a clear way to go, and he couldn't be grateful. This trip to Yongshou Palace was not in vain.

"You go to the Shen Penal Division and send the thief who went to Yanxi Palace to steal, this palace is very interested in knowing, what is so special about the jade concubine's sachet." Ruyue didn't have the heart to talk to Jiang Lian more at this time, but wanted to find out about Concubine Yu.

Jiang Lian responded, knowing the concubine's intentions: "The slave must be cautious, and the mother can rest assured." ”

It wasn't until Jiang Lian retreated that Ruyue felt a little confused. There seems to be no day and night in the deep palace, and there are suspicious shadows at every moment.

Qin'er seemed to see through Ruyue's thoughts, and said with relief: "Don't worry too much, Niangniang, the one who can steal this old object must be entrusted by someone." And it must be someone who knows each other, and most of them will not harm the Jade Concubine. At the moment, what we have to guard against the most is the queen and the nobles. The queen is already ruthless, and the noble woman has the true inheritance of the concubine, I am afraid that it is not so easy to deal with.

But the mother has to take care of her body, and nothing is more important than this. Only when your position is firm and unshakable can everything be considered in the long run. It's just that the slave maid is a little unsure in her heart, and she still wants to ask for your heart. ”

A trace of suspicion flashed in Peishuang's eyes, and he glanced at Qin'er in confusion. "What does Auntie want to ask?"

Ruyue already knew Qin'er's worries, and said calmly: "This palace has never been the queen of thought, and it has never coveted the throne. Even if it's really a little brother in the womb, this palace says so in front of outsiders, and it says so in front of you. The position of the Son of Heaven, if it is not impossible to choose, this palace will never pay attention.

What's more, no matter what kind of person the first queen is, since she promised to support the second elder brother to ascend the throne as the emperor, this palace will never break her word. What's more, this is also the emperor's intention. ”

When it comes to the emperor, Ruyue's cold heart has a trace of warmth, but I don't know if the emperor, who is thousands of miles away, will also miss himself so much.

"I can't wait, let's let the catkins put on a good show tonight!" Ruyue said with a soft smile.
