Chapter 104: Blessing (4)
Ruyue's anger disappeared, but her face was full of melancholy. Talking to Xi'er like this is not to distinguish who is right and who is wrong, but to hope that she will not make such a hasty decision. Only with a breath left can you do what you desire, but if you lose your life like this, everything is in vain.
Thinking so, Ruyue smiled lightly and said indifferently: "The first queen treated me kindly, and she left you by my side before she left, is she doing this for her own reputation?" No, she is for me to rise to the top in the future, try to compete with the queen, and try to support the second elder brother to ascend the throne, aren't these reasons enough, nothing has been done, even if you go, what kind of face do you have to return to the first queen? ”
When Xi'er heard this, she couldn't help crying: "It was the slave who lived up to the expectations of the first queen." ”
The cold light outside the window reflects the snow color getting brighter and brighter. Ruyue only glanced at it, and then felt her eyes tingle: "If you don't want to live up to the hard work of the first queen, you should stay by the side of the palace and do your best to eradicate the concubine." Only when the concubine dies will no one be held accountable for this matter. It's not you who owes Zimin a life, but me. ”
"Niangniang......" Xi'er choked up, and didn't know what to say.
"The queen is there, there is the palace to deal with, not to mention that even the emperor has opened his mouth, you just have to stay in the lower courtyard quietly to recuperate. When you arrive at the appropriate main palace, you will naturally say that you have been cured, so don't think about it anymore. "Ruyue has made up her mind, and it is urgent to get rid of the concubine.
It is inevitable that she will become bigger in the future, and the sooner she acts, the better.
"If it is really a success, the palace has no choice but to climb up by stepping on the bones of others." Ruyue gently closed her eyes, full of pain.
"Niangniang, it's not good to be a slave, you shouldn't be blocked at this time." Xi'er blamed herself, and she didn't know how to comfort Ruyue's heart, but she was consistent with her mother's thoughts. "The concubine is vicious and unscrupulous, and it stands to reason that she will not give us a chance to breathe. It's just that these months have been too calm, and there are some cautious people who are calm. ”
Thinking that if Ruyue wasn't at ease today and wanted to go to see Xiaowei, she wouldn't have gotten up on her own after Pei Shuang left. I won't hear the conversation between Pei Shuang and Le Xi'er. In this way, these days are not calm and stable in the harem, it is very likely that the people below have kept this wind out of the Yongshou Palace in order to protect it.
Thinking like this, Ruyue was a little annoyed, and her heart completely pounced on Xiaowei, she really missed it. "It's not necessarily calm, there are a lot of things that haven't been penetrated." Ruyue sighed and said to Xi'er: "You get up and talk." I think so, a lot must have happened in these days that we don't know.
Ding Concubine didn't make a move because she hadn't found a helper yet. She had already offended the queen by installing Xu Miao in Chuxiu Palace before, and she was too ambitious and wanted to use Luan'er's death to blame the queen, no matter what you say, the queen will not be able to expose it.
Without the support of the queen, the concubine would have no backing. That's why she didn't dare to act rashly. ”
As he spoke, Pei Shuang and Qin'er had already returned. When Xi'er heard the movement, she couldn't help but shrink back.
"You go back to the lower courtyard from behind, until the matter is resolved, your secret is only known to the palace." Ruyue said this, not because she didn't trust Pei Shuang and Qin'er, but because she was afraid that too many people would know about it, she would have to be too cautious, so it was better to hide it in her heart alone.
Pei Shuang gently called Miss outside the door, and Ruyue saw that Xi'er had left, so she came in.
"Where is the queen mother, there should be no big problem." Qin'er finally relaxed the tense heartstrings and said softly: "The slave and maid are looking at it like this, most likely the queen doesn't want to make trouble at this time." What's more, the emperor already has a holy will, so it is naturally difficult for others to say anything. ”
Pei Shuang was still not at ease: "After all, it is the person who goes to serve the queen, I am afraid that if I don't say anything on my face, there must be a thorn in my heart." Miss, we have to be careful now that we are under attack. The words slipped out, and Pei Shuang hurriedly covered his mouth.
Ruyue smiled lightly, beautiful: "Since you have made a start, you might as well say it directly." If there's anything you're hiding from me, I'll tell you all about it today. You are uncomfortable in your heart, and I have to bother to guess. You can't get it at both ends! ”
Qin'er nodded, and explained the matter of Ruyue's initial concubine's efforts on the fourth elder brother. Immediately angry, Ruyue almost dropped the teacup in her hand.
Pei Shuang also told the things that happened everywhere in the palace, and it sounded like the actions of a concubine. After all, when the water is clear, there are no fish, and the more chaotic the harem, the more people can take advantage of the fisherman.
After talking for a while, Ruyue was too tired to do anything, and the nurse hugged Xiaowei again. The two of them reluctantly shut up and went to do their own work.
Pei Shuang came out of Yongshou Palace, played an oiled paper fan, and went to the Internal Affairs Office. First, it's time to get some silver, and second, it's spring, and the young lady and the little princess have to buy new clothes, and there is a shortage of materials. Thinking about waiting for the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send the ready-to-wear clothes, I don't know when, and it is better to make the little princess's clothes by herself, so I don't care if the snow road is difficult to walk.
Coincidentally, when he walked to the palace road in front of the Internal Affairs Mansion, Pei Shuang met the personal maid of the concubine, Frost. I couldn't help but shudder in disgust. Thinking of what Jia Guiren said before, Pei Shuangda hated this spineless woman from the bottom of his heart. I couldn't help but feel cold.
Seeing that it was Peishuang, Hanshuang saluted very formally: "Auntie is good." ”
Pei Shuangli didn't pay attention to it, only glanced at her, and went towards the Internal Affairs Office. Frost was very uncomfortable, bit her lip, and endured it alive. If there is any grievance between the masters, she never wants to care. So far, he has become such a chess piece, and it is really not his wish to be in a dilemma.
Although the concubine used her to compete for favor, she also took care of her family's life in the end. It's okay to be reluctant, and when I think of the whole family having a good life, Frost doesn't regret it.
"Yo, what kind of wind is this blowing our Aunt Peishuang." Jiang Lianyi lifted the curtain and saw Pei Shuang coming. couldn't help but feel a spring breeze on his face: "The slave is preparing to let someone send the silver to Concubine Ru, if you don't want to aunt, you can take it yourself." On a cold day, hurry into the house to warm up your hands and feet. ”
Pei Shuang replied to her with a smile and said meaninglessly: "It's a little cold, but it doesn't matter, I'm staying in the palace left and right." It's better to come out and be loose and loose. ”
"If the concubine is okay, the little princess is okay?" Jiang Lian asked respectfully.
"I have a heart, Gonggong Jiang, with your care like this, how can there be anything bad up and down the Yongshou Palace!" Pei Shuang sat upright, and before he sat down, Frost followed.
With one breath up, Pei Shuang's face immediately changed. Who is Jiang Lian, when his eyes flashed, he had already keenly captured this subtle scene, and said, "Why are you here?" But does the concubine have something to order? ”
Hanshuang smiled slightly, blessed himself and said, "Father-in-law Jiang is good." The concubine is afraid of the cold, and there are still two little masters living in Changchun Palace, and there is not much charcoal left. The mother told the slave to come and get some more. ”
When Pei Shuang heard this, he burst out with joy: "There are not many coals, how can you let a little girl get it." Aren't the grandmothers of Changchun Palace all physically strong? What's more, you are the girl who served in front of the concubine, how good is it to be tired from freezing on this cold day.
Look at these big watery eyes, this white and tender skin, it's a man. Even I can't bear to look at it. If I were a concubine, I would never be willing to let you do this heavy work, what if there was a slight injury? How can it be used to please people, Gonggong Jiang, do you say that it is such a reason? ”
These words were extremely explicit, and the face of the frost that was blown by the cold wind burned all at once. The pain like a knife cut had not gone away, and it was so hot that she felt uncomfortable. One cold and one hot, suddenly knocked out her tears, falling one by one, the size of a soybean grain.
Pei Shuang saw it so brightly, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "Why, the slaves and maids of Changchun Palace are all expensive." Aunt Ben just felt sorry for you to say this, okay, she actually put on a face at me. Are you really the little master of the harem? ”
"The slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't mean that." Hearing that Pei Shuang was really angry, and being able to say these words must have been an insight into the inside story, and Hanshuang couldn't wait to stuff his face into the cracks in the ground. These words spread all over the Sixth Palace, how could she still live.
The concubine refused to give her a title no matter what, and the emperor would not let her become a little master because she served her well. Where is Concubine An's lesson, there will never be a second time like this in the harem. What else could she do?
Jiang Lian didn't know what was inside, but he also knew that Pei Shuang was not unreasonable and provocative, not to mention that Ding Concubine was now a big problem for Yongshou Palace. Then he echoed: "Frost girl, it's not that my father-in-law is embarrassed with you, the emperor has a holy decree to make the harem austere, and how much charcoal to use in each palace is set early in the morning." If there is more Changchun Palace for you, there will inevitably be less in the palace. If I anger any of my masters, I'm afraid I'll want to do this errand. Why should the girl be embarrassed by me! ”
"Father-in-law, I don't have to beg you, I beg you to think of a way. If the slave and maid can't complete the errand, the concubine will definitely not let the slave go. Please, father-in-law......" Frost's face was hot and red from shame, but it was tinged with a frightened blue, which made people look uncomfortable.
As she spoke, she knelt down and prostrated repeatedly. After a moment of hard work, his forehead was broken, and blood gushed out.
Pei Shuangshao couldn't be disgusted, thinking that this girl was really good at acting, and she was worthy of being trained by the concubine. "If the concubine Niangniang gave birth to a little princess before she was sitting, you actually made it bloody in front of Aunt Ben, because you wanted to block our Yongshou Palace, right? How daring! ”
