After cleaning up her mood, when Ruyue walked into the inner bed, she did not see Concubine Zhuang who was dying. On the contrary, she wore a blue lotus-colored flag dress, and the Shu embroidery technique of the oblique needle embroidered the white peacock vividly, as if the feathers on her head were shaking slightly against the spring breeze. The peony flowers beside him also trembled and swayed in the wind.

Not only that, Concubine Zhuang carefully dressed herself. On the sideburns are spring flower sideburns made of small grains of rice beads, which fit her black satin-like hair and match the tassels on her ears. The rouge of the peach blossoms is slightly sweet, but it makes Concubine Zhuang's complexion quite ruddy.

Especially when Ruyue saw Concubine Zhuang staring at Xiaowei, the light in her eyes couldn't be hidden, and her nose began to sour uncontrollably.

"The concubine is here, come and sit down." Seeing Ruyue standing in place, Concubine Zhuang couldn't help but smile and beckoned: "Don't worry, my body knows it." The spring is cold, sometimes cold and sometimes hot, but it is too old to bear. Out of the way. ”

Ruyue bowed her head, and her eyes were calmer: "If my sister is not used to the hustle and bustle of the palace, it is better to take Xiaowei out of the palace for a walk." The Baiyun Nunnery in the suburbs seems to be good, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the scene is beautiful, and it is the most pure. What's more, Xiaowei rarely can go out of the palace to see and understand, and with her sister by her side, Ruyue is naturally at ease. ”

"Really?" Concubine Zhuang sat up straight excitedly, her eyes full of cool gratitude: "Are you really willing to let me take Xiaowei to live in Baiyun Nunnery for a while?" ”

"Seriously." Ruyue responded solemnly: "As long as my sister is willing." ”

Xiaowei didn't understand what the adults were talking about, but she could go out of the palace to play, and she was excited: "Great, mother, Xiaowei wants to go out to play." Go to Baiyun Nunnery, Mother, you can take Xiaowei with you! Is it good, is it good? ”

"Good, naturally good." Concubine Zhuang smiled with tears, but Jingjing was not sad. "I never thought that I would be able to go out of the palace in my lifetime. Thank you, Ruyue. ”

I don't know if it's because of her age, Ruyue feels that she is becoming more and more sentimental. The chest seemed to be stuffed into a dark cloud, and the thick one couldn't be dissolved, and the suffocating breath was not smooth. "My sister promised me that for Xiaowei, I must take good care of myself. Baiyun Nunnery is inconvenient for male guests to live, Shi Qianmo will live in the village below the mountain, and often enter the nunnery to ask for peace for his sister. Daily needs, as much as possible can be arranged by him. ”

Concubine Zhuang listened carefully to every word Ruyue said, and was full of hope that she would be able to take Xiaowei out of the palace as soon as possible. This palace has detained her for more than ten years, and this feeling is really uncomfortable. Slightly embarrassed, Concubine Zhuang couldn't help but stroke her cheeks: "Don't look at me still here, my heart has already flown to Baiyun Nunnery with Xiaowei." ”

Although Ruyue felt sorry for Concubine Zhuang, she still envied her for leaving the palace. The emperor is still in the palace, Mianyu is small, she really can't leave and doesn't dare to leave. "Sister, don't worry, I will show the emperor. In the past few days, you must take good care of your body, and you can leave the palace at any time when the wind and cold are healed. ”

Concubine Zhuang nodded like garlic, and couldn't help herself: "Xiaowei, did you hear, my mother can take you out of the palace." ”

Coming out of Yonghe Palace, Ruyue wanted to ask the emperor for advice as soon as possible, and set a date for her trip when the matter was completed, and Concubine Zhuang of the province was worried about it. "Let's go to the Heart Cultivation Palace, at this time, the emperor should have already had lunch."

Qin'er smiled slightly, and helped Ruyue to sit on her shoulder: "Niangniang always thinks about the emperor in her heart, just as the emperor also thinks about you in her heart." ”

Although it was the truth, Ruyue was worried about Concubine Zhuang, but she couldn't laugh. "I hope so. I always feel empty in my heart. Aunt Qin'er, do you know, looking at the familiar faces around me over the years, there are fewer and fewer them, and it really doesn't feel good in my heart. ”

"When the old is gone, there is always a new man coming in. Niangniang, your heart is empty, but the harem of the Forbidden City is not empty at all. Qin'er also pointed out, at this time, she also had the heart to alleviate Ruyue's sorrow. After all, it's so sad to always feel nostalgic for the past. "Last night, the poor nobleman was drunk and wanted to leave the table and go back to the palace to rest, do you remember?"

"Nature." Ruyue thought to herself that she was not drunk last night, so she would definitely not forget what happened: "Why did my aunt ask this?" ”

"In the morning, Niangniang, you are still sleeping again, and the slaves and maids have not told you. Xiao Mazi spoke for the emperor, but when he came to our palace for breakfast, he took it with him and said a word. Qin'er lowered her voice: "That poor noble man actually stayed in the Heart Cultivation Hall last night. ”

"Oh!" Ruyue responded lightly and didn't say anything.

Qin'er chuckled and remembered Peishuang's words: "Do you know that Miss Peishuang is the one who can't look down on this one." said that it has a coquettish tone of demons, which is obviously not so simple, but it always pretends to be pitiful and strange. ”

Shouldering and turning into the palace road leading to the Palace of Heart Cultivation, Ruyue seemed to remember something, and only asked: "This palace hasn't looked at the history of Tong for a few days, and even the records of the Internal Affairs Office have only looked at some daily account expenses. How much does the noble man sleep? ”

"It doesn't seem to be much, a while ago, the emperor has been busy with court and political affairs. Except in our palace, that is, the queen sits every fifteenth. Then there is the Temple of Heart Nourishment. Qin'er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said: "The sign of the merciful person, I'm afraid I haven't turned it over for a few months." ”

Before Ruyue could respond, she heard a woman's crying not far away. The low one is sad, and it seems that he still mutters something. It's really strange that I just looked around, but I didn't see anyone. "In the blue sky and white day, who is so bold as to dare to block the trouble outside the Heart Nourishing Palace? Qin'er, go take a look. ”

"Yes, sissy." Qin'er also felt strange, so as soon as she turned around, a figure suddenly popped out from behind a plane tree. "Who is it?" Qin'er was shocked by such a rash move, and she was a little out of line.

"The concubine is Zhong Cui Palace, and the Suo Luo clan is proud." Suo Yuluo often stopped crying, maybe he cried for a long time, and the tears on his face were stained with some dust from the wind, and he looked very embarrassed.

"What are you doing here?" Qin'er asked sternly: "Do you know that the concubine Niangniang is going to cure you for a big crime of disrespect." While speaking, Qin'er stroked her throbbing unsettled heart, and inexplicably glanced at Ruguifei.

Suo Yuluo immediately knelt down: "The concubine didn't mean to disturb the mother, she really suffered a lot of humiliation, and wanted to ask the emperor to stand up for the concubine." But the emperor is looking at the excerpt at this moment, and the father-in-law Ma who guards the door does not let the concubines enter. The concubines didn't dare to disturb the emperor, and they felt wronged in their hearts, so they cried here. I don't want to happen to be like a concubine passing by, begging the mother to come forward for the concubine. ”

"The little master is the little master, so there are no rules." When Chang Yonggui heard Qin'er's voice, he knew that it was like a concubine. "How can there be such a reason to stop the shoulders of the concubine. The emperor doesn't have time to see you at this time, so you can go back to the palace and wait. disturbed the mother, I'm afraid you can't afford to eat it. ”

Chang Yonggui rarely gets angry like this, and obviously thinks that this Suo Sui Luo clan is too out of line. The commotion at the celebration banquet was not enough, and it was blocked outside the Heart Nourishing Palace. It's really not a good life. I was bored in my heart, and it was inevitable that the words on my mouth would be a little heavier.

Ruyue shook her head slightly, and smiled indifferently at Chang Yonggui: "If you don't come, you will come, and if you don't stop it, your father-in-law asked her to say it." ”

"Yes." Chang Yonggui took a step back slightly, stretched out his hand for Ru Guifei to put her hand, and helped her walk down to her shoulder.

"Concubine Niangniang. At the celebration banquet of the Qianqing Palace, the concubines drank a few more glasses. I didn't want Concubine An to twist the concubine into Xianfu Palace overnight, splashing cold water and beating the soles of the feet, making the concubine covered in bruises. As he spoke, he tugged at his sleeve slightly, revealing a bruise.

It looks like it's a small wooden strip of whipping. Qin'er couldn't help but nod to Ruyue.

"Even though the concubine is disrespectful and shouldn't be drunk, the concubine hasn't done anything heinous in the end. The ancestral family law stipulates that palace maids cannot be beaten, at most admonished. Unless a serious crime has been committed, it will be handed over to the Criminal Division. What's more, the concubine is a small lord in the end. Even if Concubine An is a concubine, you can't bully your concubines like this. Ask the concubine to give the concubine justice. Suo Xue Luo wiped his tears and begged for an explanation. In the end, it is not soft and weak.

I don't know if I'm too careful, Ruyue always feels that this Suo Sui Luo clan is simply asking for an explanation from herself, not an concubine who is humiliated or bullied. If this is the case, then who told her that he allowed An Concubine to sober up for her?

Her heart sank slightly, and Ruyue suddenly understood something. First, there were pity nobles who withdrew from the table by drunkenness, and then there was Suo Yuluo's defeat, and the emperor had to issue an order to withdraw from the table. The emperor withdrew from the table, but he had to stay to clean up the mess and take care of the hangover palace concubines. And the merciful nobles naturally stayed in the Heart Cultivation Palace.

It was calculated all the time. Ruyue wanted to laugh, and the cold light in her eyes became more and more dignified and decent: "Whether Concubine An really punished you or not must be carefully investigated by the palace." But since you have injuries on your body at this time, you should ask the imperial doctor to take a closer look at it and decoct the medicine to drink. If there are any traces left, or the root of the disease, the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Qin'er followed Ruyue's words and said: "The little master always has to take care of his body first, since the mother already knows about this matter, she will inevitably dispose of her rights." The slave and maid will send you back to the palace first. ”

"For example, the concubine Niangniang, when you say this, do you doubt the words of the concubine?" Suo Xue Luo didn't give up, and even a little nonsense, she got up again, bypassed Qin'er and Chang Yonggui, and knelt in front of Ruyue in a daze. "Could it be that the concubine will beat herself like this, and then blame Concubine An? An concubine and the concubine, but a few sides, why did the concubine make herself like this to blame her? Or is it like the concubine Niangniang because of trust, favoring An Concubine? ”
