The sky was bright, and Ruyue had already changed her clothes. The makeup is still exquisite, and the hair is curled in a complicated bun. A glittering ruby is used as a dan and is attached to the center of the eyebrows. When she looked in the mirror, she couldn't even see the slightest haggard from her face, and what if she didn't sleep all night, she was still a sinking fish and a goose.

Yesterday when he came back from Changchun Palace, Pei Shuang didn't say a word, a rare quiet. It's been a long time, and I haven't been accompanied by such a quiet company. The young lady did not speak, and her heart must have been very uncomfortable.

"It's almost time, let's go." As soon as Ruyue opened her mouth, she realized that her voice was a little hoarse.

Qin'er thoughtfully took the honey water and presented it to Concubine Ru with both hands: "Niangniang, drink some honey to moisten your throat." The weather is hot and dry, and this kneeling is a whole day's work. The slave is really afraid that you won't be able to bear it! ”

"What if I can't bear it, for me, it's just three days' work. But the emperor punished the princess for a whole month, didn't he, and knelt down from dawn to dusk every day. Aren't you afraid that she won't be able to bear it? In Ruyue's cold and lonely eyes, the light that flashed was only despair, it turned out that the emperor was really so affectionate.

"Miss, why are you doing this?" Pei Shuang handed the handkerchief distressedly: "I don't want to eat the loss in front of me, and if I say a soft word to the emperor, maybe it won't be like this." ”

Ruyue turned her head sideways, facing Shang Peishuang's eyes, and felt a faint pain in her heart. And the smile on his face was extremely cold: "Soft words? Has the emperor heard less? The two nobles of the Liu family are all sweet and beautiful, and the charming nobles are the masters who can pretend to be pitiful. I'm afraid that there is no one in the harem who can say better than them. I'm afraid that this palace is Dong Shi's imitation, and it will become more and more funny. ”

I have never suffered such grievances, whether it was in the house in the past, or in the harem over the years. Ruyue has long been tired of seeing all kinds of faces, even if it is a lowly palace maid who climbs onto the emperor's dragon bed, her heart has never been so panicked. Some can't use force, even if they inhale a lot, they feel distressed and their lungs hurt.

"This palace can be without the emperor's favor, but it must not be without the backbone of a person." Ruyue choked back tears, stubbornly refusing to shed her eyes. Looking up hard, the eyelashes shook gently, even if it was painful and unspeakable, it was impossible for her to show weakness. "What's wrong with kneeling, you won't die if you soften your knees."

After that, Ruyue walked out in a tornado, and where her eyes touched, the palace people timidly lowered their heads. With resentment in her heart, the face on Ruyue's face was naturally not so good-looking, no one dared to act rashly, not even the atmosphere, they were all trembling and restrained.

"It's all good for the palace, the Yongshou Palace is the same as before, no matter what punishment the palace receives, when the palace is served, when the head is raised, the palace will be well raised. I'd rather stretch your neck and let people cut off your head, than you are not allowed to be afraid of your head and tail, and you will lose face in the palace when you shrink your head. Remember. Ruyue rarely spoke like this, and the palace people were naturally alert and responded crisply.

But these words were in the ears of Qin'er and Peishuang, but they were particularly unpleasant. "Niangniang, you have to relax, it will always pass." Qin'er had to persuade her.

Pei Shuang also endured the discomfort, not letting the expression on his face have half a point of cowardice. didn't even have the slightest grievance, and walked out with Ruyue's domineering attitude: "Miss, the slave will accompany you." ”

In the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, the emperor was already preparing to go to the court. The bright yellow dragon robe set off the emperor's sturdy figure, and his face was not angry but powerful with a little coolness, presumably the emperor was not comfortable at this moment.

"Your Majesty, the sachet on your waist looks a little old, why don't you let the servant get you a new one." Chang Yonggui did not directly persuade the emperor to retract his order, but he said irrelevant things from the side.

The emperor looked at the sachet on his waist and gave a light "um" as a promise.

Busy with palace maids holding various colored sachets and presenting them, Chang Yonggui recognized the Nine Dragons at a glance, and the one that swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog was embroidered by Concubine Ru herself. I still remember that when Le Xi'er sent it, Xiaomazi praised her kung fu for a while. said that the needle of the concubine is becoming more and more exquisite.

"Your Majesty, this Nine Dragons Opera Pearl is majestic, and the stitches are thin and dense." Resting it in front of his nose and sniffing it gently, Chang Yonggui's face was happy: "And in addition to all kinds of flowers, I also put the emperor's favorite mint." Not to mention, it is refreshing and cool to wear in summer. Or maybe it's just this one? ”

At a glance, the emperor also felt very satisfied. "It's fine."

Chang Yonggui got permission, bent down and took off the one for the reason, and quickly changed the sachet for the emperor. Only then did he say: "It looks like it was embroidered by the concubine herself." I'm afraid that the craftsmanship can't even be compared with the embroidery girl in the palace. Niangniang's heart for the emperor is really infatuated. ”

"What do you want to say?" In fact, as soon as Chang Yonggui opened his mouth, the emperor expected that he was interceding for Concubine Ru. It's just that after all, he is also an old man who has been with him all the year round, and he needs some foundation to speak. It may be that he didn't reject Concubine Ru's sachet that made him speak better.

"The slave has no meaning, but the emperor's heart is like a concubine. The slave is afraid that the emperor will feel distressed by yourself. Chang Yonggui accompanied Canxiao and kept thinking about the emperor.

The emperor's eyebrows twisted, and then he sighed: "It is not appropriate to punish Zang for similarities and differences." I did this for my own sake. Hugh will say anything else. ”

"Huh." Chang Yonggui touched his nose, but his heart was a little more steady. The emperor was very resistant to Rufei on the surface, but in the final analysis, he still cared.

"A few days ago, I heard that Concubine Ru had the intention to embarrass the nobles, have you also heard of it?" What the emperor can't let go of in his heart is that he is afraid that Concubine Ru will grow bigger and bigger and become the real master of the harem. Once the momentum of dominance is cultivated, I am afraid that it will encircle the officials of the previous dynasty and gradually form its own wings.

The previous emperor embarrassed the empress, and it was precisely because of this concern that he did not give a good face everywhere. I don't want the queen to finally calm down, but the trend of being a concubine is gradually becoming dominant. When officials of the previous dynasty fought each other, it was inevitable that they would have to be clamped left and right. The harem concubines are jealous, and they always have to be wet with rain and dew.

Thinking so, the emperor felt that his will was not wrong. After all, Concubine Cheng, Concubine Zhuang, and Concubine Yu are all voices with Ruyue, if they really form an intertwined portal, then how can others have a foothold.

"Your Majesty, the minions haven't heard of it." Chang Yonggui finally knew the crux of the matter, someone blew crooked wind into the emperor's ears, so it is no wonder that the holy anger is difficult to calm down. "In the harem, there are many people, and it is the most common thing. Slaves don't believe that such as concubines, Niangniang will make things difficult for nobles. Besides, if the concubine has so many trivial things to take care of every day, how can she have that experience. ”

The emperor let out another long sigh, and then said, "I have taken away her right to assist in the Six Palaces, which must have hurt her heart." But it's better to calm her for two days. Let's go to court! ”

"The emperor is in charge of the Qing Palace." Chang Yonggui stretched his throat and shouted, but he was thinking about how to give the emperor's thoughts to Concubine Ru. After all, looking at the harem, there is no one who can afford to be the assistant of the sixth palace. Chang Yonggui selfishly thought that only Concubine Ru could share the emperor's worries.

The princess had already knelt outside the gate of the mantis early in the morning, and behind her was Hua'er kneeling cautiously. When he turned around and saw that Concubine Ru was also coming, he felt sad in his heart: "Concubine Ru Niangniang is here, the concubine was really reckless yesterday." ”

Ruyue didn't speak, she walked forward and knelt down calmly, side by side with the princess.

In fact, Xiaowei was not injured, and the blood that the concubine saw was made of pickled goods. At that time, Chang Niang was far away, and she didn't see the real light, so she patronized and panicked with the palace. Only then did I kill the palace maid alive, speaking of which, even I didn't notice what happened to send Xiaowei to the Yongshou Palace. The concubine held back these words all night, and finally was able to spit it out.

Thinking that Concubine Ru knows the truth, she must be as excited as her. But the words have been in good shape for a while, and Concubine Ru didn't squeak. Wang Concubine turned her head sideways in surprise and looked at the people around her. "What's wrong with the mother, why don't you speak?"

Ruyue also turned her head and looked at the princess: "The matter has come to this point, and it is useless to say anything from this palace, it is better to save this breath and support the sins of this day." ”

"Didn't the mother accept her fate? Or is it too sad, sad and confused? "The princess is unhappy, I didn't expect Concubine Ru to admit it so obediently." Knowing that it was the fox's hooves that caused the disaster, you could endure it, such as a concubine. She is just a thing from the palace maid to the bottom of the dragon bed, and no matter how much trickery she has, she is a scum. Why do you have to compromise and back down? Won't she be afraid of it! ”

"Mother, you are angry." Hua'er had to remind her, just because the princess was excited, and the tone of her voice suddenly increased her score.

Ruyue smiled slightly, and there was a little bit of rare arrogance and beauty, with a touch of sadness locked between her eyebrows, but it was not arrogant, cowardly and weak. "It's just a flattering nobleman, why be afraid. Sister can't see it, the emperor is deliberately trying to punish you and me. That hoof is just a gimmick. ”

The princess opened her mouth and didn't say a word for a long time. But the heart is like this, and she immediately understood what Concubine Ru meant. "People's hearts are cold, and it's not fake at all. Where can there be any true feelings in the deep palace, but I am confused. ”

These words were like a sharp sword, piercing Ruyue's heart hard, and she stayed awake all night, she asked herself repeatedly, did the emperor really have affection for her? In the end, in fact, it may not be as good as the likes of the nobles, and it is better not to like it. 151 Kanshu.com .
