Chapter 70: The Portal (9)
Leaning on a few squints for a while, Ruyue smelled a faint fragrance of jasmine. /./ Xi'er half-knelt on the couch, and rubbed her temples for Ruyue with her slender jade fingers dipped in menthol oil. There were also two small palace maids kneeling at the bottom of the collapse, using the small hammer of Tuanyu, two times at a time, and gently hitting Ruyue's calf, with just the right amount of comfort.
"Niangniang is in trouble for the sake of the jade concubine?" Xi'er can guess Ruyue's mind the most, and said with a smile: "Shu Mulu's family is not a big clan. It's just that he relied on the blessings of his ancestors. Yu Concubine's sister entered the house and made a fortune, and it was also because the two families had a marriage contract. Unexpectedly, Hailan Gege also fell in love with his son-in-law, entered the house three months late, and became a side Fujin. ”
"I thought that it was inevitable that the concubines would be jealous, and I didn't want such a situation to occur in the official eunuch's house." Smiling slightly, she bent her eyebrows, Ruyue's heart was undiminished, it seemed that the woman's life was like this. Maybe even if you don't enter the palace, you may not be able to get any better.
"So what are you going to do?" Xi'er inevitably asked more questions: "On the one hand, it is the favor of the jade concubine, but on the other hand, it is connected with the blood of the imperial family." You can't offend either side, it's not the husband who is caught in the middle, it's like a problem for you. ”
"What's the name of Concubine Yu's sister?" Ruyue didn't answer Xi'er directly, but just thought of something. Guo Luo Luo Yujiao. Xi'er smiled. is a powerful character, even the daughter of the prince's family, Hailan Gege, dares to fight. It's a bit tough. "Ruyue is not all praise." It's just that I can't bear this breath, how can I be the concubine of Shumulu Mansion. That Hailan Gege is also a pampered golden branch and jade leaf, and it must be unforgiving. ”
It's just that Fang just looked at the embarrassed appearance of the jade concubine, not like it was completely for her sister. The relationship between the family and the family often has entanglements of interests in the court, which Ruyue can imagine. But she always felt that there was something strange about the jade concubine, and the strangeness made her have to deal with this matter carefully.
"Well, then, go and spread my word. Invite Mama Zhou to enter Shu Mulu Mansion and tell Fu Jin about the rules. Later, it is natural to ask Hailan Gege and Guo Luoluo Yujiao to enter the palace together and say hello to the jade concubine. Hailan Gege has entered the palace many times, and he is naturally virtuous and dignified, so he will be exempted from teaching. Ruyue rubbed her forehead, thinking that it might not be appropriate to do so, and added: "You pick a few passable things from our library and give them to Hailan Gege, just say that it is a little heart from the palace." I also sent a slightly thinner one to Fujin. ”
"Mother's thoughtful." Xi'er smiled unconsciously and happily: "It is said that it is difficult for Qing officials to decide family affairs, but it doesn't take much effort for the mother." In three or two clicks, he appeased Hailan Gege, and admonished Yujiao Fujin, and also relied on the reason for entering the palace, so as not to make the Guo Luoluo family too embarrassed. ”
Ruyue was undiminished, but a smile was reflected on her face: "You still think it's a good thing, but I think it's boring to see everything too thoroughly." When that time comes, you will feel that the people who laugh at you have a conspiracy. Those who are kind to you have become diligent ...... It's so tiring. ”
As he was talking, Pei Shuang coughed lightly outside the door. In. Xi'er called her with a smile: "I was talking to Niangniang, and you came back." ”?“ Jade Concubine has returned to the palace? Pei Shuang pushed the door in, didn't see the figure of the jade concubine, and asked casually.
"I sat down for a while and left, and when I said it, I thought it was a shame for myself, and I felt uncomfortable. My sister has a high temperament, where has she been so wronged. Ruyue opened her eyes slightly, and saw that Pei Shuang's expression was different, and her eyes seemed to be unable to hide something. Then he got up and lazily ordered the little palace maids to go down: "Peishuang, you come and knock on me, we haven't talked so calmly with Xi'er for a long time." ”
Seeing that everyone was going out, Pei Shuang said with a lot of mouths: "What happened to the jade concubine?" ”?“ It's just a short one of some parents, and it has nothing to do with her herself. Ruyue took half a sentence in her mouth, and was gently pounded by Pei Shuang. You seem to have something relevant, so you might as well tell me about it. ”
"Slave?" Pei Shuang originally wanted to deny it as much as possible, but after all, nothing could escape Ruyue's discerning eyes, so he said: "The slave maid just thinks that the noble person is a little strange, and she can't hide something in her heart, and she is thinking about telling Miss You!" ”?“ A good person? Ruyue asked with Xi'er.
"Yes." Pei Shuang was reluctant to tell Xu Miao's layer, so he avoided the importance and said lightly: "The slave went to the main hall to inform the little masters to return to the palace, and saw that Jia Guiren and Hanmei slipped into the backyard, and they didn't know what to do. Later, he said that he was separated from the concubine, and the slave maid had an extra heart, and deliberately found a reason to confront the concubine, but there was no such thing at all. Do you say this is a suspicious ......?" Ruyue stretched out her hand and blocked Pei's lips: "Just now you said that you will be a concubine." ”
"Yes, concubine." Pei Shuang nodded seriously.
"Concubine Ding doesn't seem to like this noble person very much!" Xi'er rubbed Ruyue's temples again, and said such a sentence as if talking to herself.
Ruyue sighed quietly, and her face turned cold: "Peishuang, you kneel." ”
These words came suddenly, like a monk, and he was confused. "Miss, ...... are you?"
Xi'er stopped what she was doing and helped Ruyue to sit up straight. "Niangniang, if you have something to ask, Miss Peishuang is pure and loyal, so she won't hide it from you." These words are undoubtedly agitated by the law, and the thoughts of Ruyue in the corpus forced Pei Shuang to the point where he had to say it.
Peishuang knelt down softly and hung his head silently.
Ruyue looked at her like a rose in the wind. Although it is not beautiful, it is silently against the scorching sun and the scorching sun, the thunderstorm is cold, and the vultures are fragrant. I have mixed feelings, and I always feel that I am full of words, but I don't know how to say it.
After thinking for a while, Ruyue said: "It is not the emperor who has always shielded me from the wind and rain, but you." If there is no more heart-to-heart words, don't you want me to blindfold and go forward, it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, and there is no outline in my heart! ”
"Miss, the slave doesn't have the heart to harm you......" Peishuang bit his lip and raised his head with tears.
"Instead, it's all about protecting me." Ruyue looked at her frankly, staring at each other. "That's why you won't tell me the truth."
Xi'er loosened Concubine Songru's neckline, and said movingly: "Peishuang, do you know that after you went out last night, Niangniang also got up." Find someone to follow you out, for fear that something will go wrong. Who is Xu Miao, how can Niangniang not know, but it's you, why bother to hide the Niangniang so hard. How can it not be that you are suffering yourself! ”
"You know it all!" Pei Shuang suddenly felt that the stinky filth buried in his heart had finally been turned out, and the sun was exposed, and his heart was also clear. It's just that the taste is very unpleasant, especially the lingering smell of sour and rotten, and people who choke on it are nauseated several times.
Wow, the emotions that Pei Shuang had gathered in her heart for a long time suddenly burst out, and surging tears flowed freely down her closed eyes. "Miss, I'm sorry, Pei Shuang didn't mean to deceive you. I'm sorry. ”
Ruyue got up, stroked her back, and patted gently like a child: "Silly girl, even if you can hide it from the entire harem, you can't hide it from me." Why do you have to suffer yourself like this, and you still have to force a smile on me? ”
Xi'er's heart also softened Peishuang's crying, took off the veil, and wiped her tears again and again: "It's okay now, just cry out." Let the bitterness in my heart go away with the muddy tears. ”
Pei Shuang listened to such caring words, his nose was sore, but he stopped crying: "These words have been held in the slave's heart for a long time, and I am too bitter and panicked." At this point, young lady, you have already guessed that the slave maid can be regarded as free. By chance, the slave maid found out that Xu Miao was having a night meeting with a mysterious woman, and it happened that the slave maid was sending the viscount out of the palace.
Xu Miao took this opportunity to threaten the slave and maid to keep her mouth shut, otherwise she would say that Miss, you have an affair with the younger brother of the former queen...... The slave maid didn't see who the person holding hands with Xu Miao was on foot, and she could only see that it was a woman from her posture. But the slave maid thought to herself, if the woman was a palace concubine, it must have something to do with the murder of Xiao Gege. ”
"When did this happen?" Ruyue frowned and asked, pulling Pei Shuang to do a good job by her side.
"A month ago." Pei Shuang said without hesitation: "Last night, the slave maid took advantage of the fact that Miss was asleep, and followed Xu Miao to see what was going on. I didn't want to come out late, and before I could find their hiding place, I saw that Xu Miao had already gone back. But the slave maid found that there was a fragrance on his body, the smell of flowers, which was left behind when it touched the woman. ”
"No need to ask, this floral fragrance must be the same as you smell on the noble person, right?" Ruyue was confident that she had not guessed wrong, and a cold light flashed in her eyes: "But I also have to blame you for two sentences, saying that you are lurking beside Xu Miao, even if I have secretly investigated for a long time, I have no clue, and I can't hold his handle." But these things, you have to make a long-term plan, and it won't help you if you lose yourself. It can only make me feel guilty and blame myself! ”
"Miss, the slave knows that she is wrong." Pei Shuang's eyes were full of tears, and he began to cry again.
"How about the noble person, do you believe it?" Xi'er wiped Peishuang's cheeks again, and said worriedly: "The slave maid always feels that it is not so simple. "151 Kanshu.com .
