Noon had passed, the sun was slanting to the west, and Ruyue leaned on the small table to prune the flower branches. The sun shines softly on the back, warm and comfortable.

The Emperor walked in with vigorous steps, laughing heartily, and swept into a cool and refreshing breeze.

"The emperor is here!" Ruyue got up happily and took the hand of the palace maid: "Why don't you let the servants pass the word, the concubines greet each other with ugly faces, and lose their manners." Bow lightly, and a pair of warm thick palms slowly hold you up.

"I just like to see you look casual. There is no restraint, and it seems that we are kind. The emperor was very happy, and his face was full of smiles: "I have worked hard for you these days, and I know it in my heart." ”

One sentence summarizes Ruyue's recent hard work, but I am afraid that I can only know the taste in my heart. "The concubines don't dare to slack off, they just want to do their best in everything and live up to the emperor's trust. Naturally, if the emperor can't share his worries, the concubines will inevitably have trouble sleeping. ”

Approaching the emperor's ear, Ruyue smiled and bent her eyebrows. It's been a long time, and I haven't seen the emperor look so happy. was full of warmth because of him: "With the emperor's praise at this time, the concubine's hanging heart can finally be put down!" ”

The emperor held Ruyue and sat side by side. Fang Cai's happy expression was no longer there, but slightly melancholy: "For a long time, the harem has never been peaceful, and I will inevitably take care of one and lose the other." Now that everything is up to you, I am very sorry to clear the harem for me. ”

Ruyue was a little puzzled, if it was clearly the same, why did the emperor repeat it in two completely different tones? He said humbly: "The concubines can't share the emperor's worries in major matters, and they have to do their best in small things." But in the final analysis, the harem sisters serve the emperor with one heart and one mind, and they should also treat each other as relatives. It really shouldn't be too much for each other, and they don't have a relationship. What's more, when the harem is harmonious, this life can be more enjoyable. ”

"It's still Ruyue, you know my heart best." The Emperor took something out of his sleeve and rested it on Ruyue's palm. "See if you like it?"

"Jewel Blossom?" Ruyue admired the thing in the palm of her hand, and couldn't help but admire: "It's still such a rare purple, and the craftsman is skillfully carved, it's really exquisite." Does the emperor want to reward his concubines? There are a lot of rewards from the Ministry of Internal Affairs on weekdays! Now the emperor is still thinking about it like this, and it seems that the concubines are greedy for nothing! ”

The emperor took the flower and put it on Ruyue with gentle movements: "It's not the emperor who rewarded you with Concubine Ru, but the husband gave it to the lady, Ruyue, if you like it." What I fancy is your precious quality of contentment. ”

"Your Majesty." Ruyue smiled coquettishly, and the city was moving. "Ruyue likes it."

"Your Majesty." Chang Yonggui bowed down and walked in, and said with a restrained salute: "The people sent into the palace by Fujin have already entered the Shunzhen Gate." ”

"Hmm." The Emperor answered, silent in thought.

Ruyue's heart suddenly tightened, and she was sensitive to what bad things would happen. "Which Fujin? Who sent it to the palace? Try to make her voice calm and natural, and maintain a decent smile on her face, Ruyue pretended to be curious: "Why did the emperor never mention this matter, but the concubines didn't know." ”

The Emperor pursed his lips and smiled, and his fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop. Chang Yonggui understood it and said respectfully: "King Fujin of Qingjun is your sister like Concubine Niangniang. ”

Ruyue's heart chuckled as soon as she thought about it, and a wave of anger surged up. The smile on his face became more and more bright: "But the Qingjun Mansion has found a suitable woman to serve the emperor, and has she been sent to the palace!" Such a good thing, why did the emperor hide it from his concubines? At present, the first noble person is pregnant, and Concubine Zhuang should take care of it. Jia Guiren and Chen Chang are grounded in their own palace. There is indeed a lack of such a compassionate person around the emperor. ”

I couldn't tell how much of my words were true and how much was false, Ruyue smiled indifferently.

The emperor's face was pale, and his words were slightly flattering: "King Qingjun and Fujin have a heart, and I can't shirk it." What's more, in the harem now, there are really not many concubines who can serve with them. I promised. I didn't want Lao Seventeen to move so fast, so he said such a sentence, and the person was sent in. It's not that I mean to hide it from you! What makes me embarrassed at the moment is how to place these two beauties. Ruyue, do you have a way? ”

"A pair of beautiful women?" Ruyue thought she had misheard, so she couldn't help but smile and repeat it.

"Exactly, such as a concubine. Fu Jin specially sent someone to send a message, saying that it was a pair of twin sisters who had been sent in. Chang Yonggui was afraid that the emperor would be embarrassed to speak, so he relieved the siege and said: "Now that the next person has entered the Shunzhen Gate, please follow the instructions of the concubine Niangniang, which palace should be arranged in?" ”

"It's time to make arrangements." The emperor smiled slightly and shook Ruyue's hand.

Ruyue's heart was full of confusion, and the vinegar was rolling, but it was not as obvious as the pain. It turned out that the emperor flattered him in all kinds of ways, praised and gifted, just to take a pair of beauties into the palace.

The taste of the needle poking at her body, how to endure it. It turned out that there was no difference between himself and the former queen, the deceased Concubine Hua, and even the current queen. How is the beauty, can it be exchanged for the same gaze? What about being favored, the scenery is just a sudden gaze of the Sacred Heart.

Ruyue thought about it, the smile spread, and the pain in her heart became more and more hideous. "What does the emperor think of Qixiang Palace?"

"Qixiang Palace?" The emperor thought for a moment: "Although it has been vacant for a while, it is also a good palace." Quiet and elegant, with a unique style. It's just that if there is no one living for a long time, will it be a little deserted. ”

"The emperor can rest assured." Chang Yonggui knew Concubine Ru's thoughts, and interjected: "Although Qixiang Palace has been uninhabited for a long time, there are servants cleaning it all day long. The cherry wood of the Eternal Palace has also been moved, and the scenery is the best! ”

The emperor sighed, seemed to be relieved, and said gratefully: "It is really a blessing for me to have you." ”

Ruyue smiled, but her heart was torn and dripping blood: "The emperor praised it falsely, Ruyue is just doing her duty." "My heart can't help but move: If I am really so good, why can you still tolerate others in your heart?

Ruyue suddenly felt that if she married an ordinary person, then these heartfelt words might be able to ask, but he was the emperor! This grievance is full of grievances, and there is no way to do it except to suffer it yourself.

"Chang Yonggui, you just do what Concubine Ru wants." The emperor smiled with a little expectation, and gently picked up the teacup to separate the tea foam.

"The concubine still wants to ask the emperor again, I don't know the position of these two sisters, can the emperor decide? It is also good to instruct the Ministry of Internal Affairs to carefully prepare all the necessary supplies. "Ruyue shows a generous and decent concubine bearing, not to please the emperor, but because she doesn't want to embarrass herself. Maybe I've seen a lot of things like this, and I'll slowly get used to it.

Just like a wound that has scabbed over, it won't hurt if you sprinkle it with salt!

"I've thought about this too." When the emperor heard Ruyue say this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smile: "In the end, it is your own sister who is looking for a candidate for me, and it is not good to be too wronged by them." Start with the position of a nobleman, you see. ”

"Nature is good." Ruyue sighed silently, but said happily: "The minions are quick with their hands and feet, and they can do it in an hour." Why don't the emperor use some snacks here with the concubines first. Let's check out the two new sisters later! ”

"Hey!" The emperor shook his head slightly: "Okay, I'm here to accompany you today, how can I go and see others again." Are you willing to do it? ”

"The concubines are naturally reluctant, but they will not be angry with the emperor." Ruyue Jiao smiled and pointed to the emperor's chest: "The concubine is confident, the emperor is here, and there is always a place for the concubine." If so, what is not satisfied! After a slight pause, Ruyue said again: "I just guess that the two younger sisters have just entered the palace, and it is inevitable that they will feel uncomfortable, and the emperor will come to inquire in person, which is more heartwarming." ”

Hearing such thoughtful words, the emperor said no more. Only took Ruyue into his arms, greedily sucking the soft fragrance of the beauty.

Ruyue's heart is cold and piercing, no matter how hot the emperor's body temperature is, it will not help after all. In the past ten years, the love has gone through several tribulations, and if you are not careful, you will never recover. But after all, it is just a flash, no different from the glory of power.

She just didn't understand why she was so desperate to love, and why she failed in the end.

Niu Colu is like Yue, in vain you boast of being intelligent, after all, you are just a lonely shadow in the palace wall, a wisp of resentment.

When Xi'er walked in, Ruyue was already full of tears: "Niangniang, since you don't want the emperor to leave, why do you want to be so tolerant and generous?" Sometimes the more you give in, the more you will push yourself into a corner! ”

"The emperor's heart is not here, so what's the point of me forcing him to stay here. It's just covering up and stealing the bell, deceiving oneself and others. Ruyue didn't know how she could become like this, and even the ability to cry disappeared. Holding the reserved nature of a concubine out of thin air, she wept silently. As everyone knows, because of his love for him, he has lost his heart.

Peishuang walked in faintly, facing an invisible dark cloud. "Miss, Imperial Doctor Shi is here." Her voice was calm and dry, losing her former excitement and vigor.

"Biography." Ruyue took the soft towel handed by Xi'er and wiped the tears off her face. "I happened to have something to ask him."
