Chapter 141: Chess is like life
This is clearly a smart and intelligent woman.
But he knew the powerful relationship behind the disposal of Qiu Meiren, and he refused to back down.
The Empress Dowager couldn't help but admire her for a while, "The mourning family didn't have the queen's heart when they were young. β
Xiao Ruyue smiled slightly, "Thank you for the teachings of the imperial grandmother, the granddaughter-in-law will pay attention in the future." β
The Empress Dowager smiled silently, and also made a judgment on Xiao Ruyue: she is very smart and a person who will judge the situation. What's more, she has a backbone that emanates from the bottom of her heart, which is incomparable.
Before the chessboard was halfway through, the Empress Dowager took a sip of tea and continued to hold the sunspot to stir up the storm on the chessboard.
Xiao Ruyue also patiently accompanied the next game.
She suddenly remembered the autumn beauty who had been spoiled since she was a child and didn't know how thick the sky was.
Qiu Meiren was detained in the Invitation Feng Palace, she went to see Qiu Meiren, as soon as she pushed the door open, the little girl pounced, fortunately Yinlin was quick and stopped her.
"You woman, it's all because of you, if it weren't for you, the king would have spoiled me a long time ago! It's all you, the vixen from Tanglin, who bewitched the king, you vixen, it's all your ghost! β
Qiu Meiren, who was stopped by Yinlin, was not reconciled, struggled desperately, shouting loudly, and looked like she was not willing to let go, as if she was desperate to die with the queen.
Yinlin threw her to the two powerful grandmothers and stood beside Xiao Ruyue.
Xiao Ruyue motioned for Green Yi to move a stool over, and then sat down by herself, so that she could take the time to look at the autumn beauty with a hateful and hideous face.
"Autumn beauty, you hate Hongu, right?"
"Hate, more than hate! I'm going to be like this, it's all because of you! I hate to eat your flesh and drink your blood! Qiu Meiren was stunned, and she couldn't get rid of the clamps of the two grandmothers, so she could only vent her resentment with angry scolding.
Xiao Ruyue smiled lightly, and said unhurriedly: "But what if you hate this palace?" How long have you been in the palace earlier than this palace, you are also a family of Great Xia, you have known the king for many years, if you can't get the heart of the king, who can you blame? β
"You ......" Qiu Meiren was stunned for a moment, and then scolded again, "It's all you vixen!" I have liked you for so many years, and it was you, Cheng Jin, who came out and robbed my king halfway! She's right, you're a vixen, you specialize in seducing men, and even the king can't escape your bewilderment! You're hurting me so much, I'm going to die! β
"You are wrong, this palace has never harmed you." Xiao Ruyue calmly corrected her mistakes, "Bengong didn't use a knife to force you to poison your neck, and second, he didn't use power to force you to frame people, you did it all by yourself, why do you blame Bengong's head?" β
"You, you still dare to quibble! If it weren't for you, the woman, would things have turned out like this? If it was her, the king would have spoiled me, and she promised to help me get the king's favor! It's all you, it's all you who hurt me! β
Qiu Meiren has no reason to speak of, full of resentment, and every word is blame.
If something happens, he will only shirk responsibility on others, but he has never thought that he has done something wrong.
"The person you're talking about won't come." Xiao Ruyue said, motioning for Yinlin to do it.
The person who instructed her behind her gave her a big dream and lured her into a deep pit, and until now, she has not woken up from her dream.
The two old mothers escorted Qiu Meiren out, she struggled and shouted, "What are you doing!" Where do you want to take me! I'm not going! No, I want to go back to the Qingning Palace, the Qingning Palace was given to me by the king to live! You let go of meβ"
Xiao Ruyue reminded her coldly: "You have violated the palace rules, and there is no place for you in Qingning Palace." Go to the cold palace for the rest of your life to reflect. β
"Nope! Impossible! Qiu Meiren's eyes widened suddenly, she screamed, she struggled desperately, and finally broke free from the two grandmothers, and rushed to Xiao Ruyue, "You are lying!" You won't do that to me! β
Xiao Ruyue was startled, and almost fell off the stool, but Green Yi was also startled by her, and hurriedly dragged her away with Yinlin!
"You are presumptuous! How dare you do anything to the queen! Green Yi was so angry that he almost went down with a slap.
But before she could touch Qiu Meiren, her hand stopped. She's not a ruthless person after all.
"Nope! You don't have the right to do that! You must not know if it is! You vixen from Tanglin, why did you put me in the cold palace! Let go of me, let goβah! Let goβ"
Qiu Meiren kept screaming, apparently learning the ability to sprinkle since she was a child.
Xiao Ruyue lowered her face coldly, a sneer rose at the corner of her mouth, and she said slowly: "Do you think that when you reach this step, the king will still be willing to see you?" To tell you the truth, the decisions of this palace are all instructed by the king, and the king means that he will never see you again from now on. You can spend the rest of your life in the cold palace with peace of mind. Someoneβ"
The corners of her eyes swept the two grandmothers, and said coldly: "Take it away!" β
"You lied to me, you lied to me, your lord wouldn't treat me like this! You lied to me! Qiu Meiren has been struggling, and when she was dragged out by the two grandmothers, she was shouting all the way: "You vixen, you bewitch the king, you harm me, you will not die well!" I'm waiting for you in the cold palaceβ"
The shouts spread all over the Invite Feng Palace, making people feel stunned when they heard it.
When the scream was far away, Xiao Ruyue stood up, and the green clothes glanced at her, but saw a tired look in her eyes, and supported her with some distress.
Niangniang is not a ruthless person, what is this harem.
"Niangniang knows that she is an unreasonable person, and she doesn't know how to repent at all, why do you still say this?" Yinlin followed him out of the door, and he was also distressed for the queen.
saw a trace of pity in Xiao Ruyue's eyes, and said lightly, "With these hatreds, her life in the cold palace will be better." β
After all, if a person still has obsessions, he will not easily find short-sightedness.
After dealing with the affairs of the autumn beauty, Xiao Ruyue led the green clothes to the Luhua Hall to talk with the Queen Mother.
Yinlin took people to Qingning Hall to deal with the aftermath.
When the queen's decree arrived at the Qingning Palace, everyone was silent.
Yinlin led people to search out the crested hairpin from Qiu Meiren's room, and the people in the Qingning Palace also recognized the little eunuch who was tied up, where did anyone dare to say anything.
After Yinlin finished handling the matter, he went to the Luhua Palace, and at this time, the chess game was at the end.
Bai Zi is the last one to fall, Xiao Ruyue fell Bai Zi indifferently, there was no success or failure in the chess game, but seeing that she had closed the momentum, the Empress Dowager's hand paused, looking at Xiao Ruyue, her eyes were a little surprised.
Xiao Ruyue got up and bowed slightly to the Empress Dowager: "Empress Dowager, it was the concubine who lost." β
The Empress Dowager looked at the situation on the chessboard again, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she didn't say anything.
At this time, the green clothes came in from outside, as if something was wrong, but in front of the Queen Mother, she was not easy to speak.
"The mourning family originally wanted to keep the queen to eat together, but it seems that it can only be changed another day." The Empress Dowager has been in the palace for many years, so she can naturally see that the green clothes have some urgent things to say, but because she is there, it is difficult to explain, so she said: "The queen takes care of the harem, everything is complicated, let's go and get busy first, there is someone here to take care of the mourning family." β
Xiao Ruyue nodded and smiled, "The concubine will come to visit the Empress Dowager another day." The concubine retired first. β
She saluted the Empress Dowager and retired with Yinlin and Green Clothes.
The people who served the fake Empress Dowager before were all from Ye Haitang's side, and at this time they had been transferred to the Ye Courtyard, and the people in the Luhua Hall were all re-selected by Yu Wenhe, and they were the trusted old men around the Empress Dowager in the past, so you can rest assured.
The appearance of the green coat is not occasional, but it is designed before it comes.
Because, she can't be absent from the Qionglin banquet at noon.
At this time, the hour was almost up, Xiao Ruyue quickly changed her clothes, took off her headdress, quickly changed into the clothes of a little eunuch, put on a human skin mask, pretended to be a little eunuch who went out of the palace on an errand, and left the palace after preparing everything.
The carriage leaving the palace turned around at the end of Qingyan Street and met with another carriage, Xiao Ruyue saw the familiar carriage from the car, and quickly got off the carriage and prepared to change cars.
When she opened the curtain and was about to jump out of the car, she saw Qingqing, who was dressed as a man, standing next to the car and looking at her hesitantly, "...... Son. β
"Help me get out of the car." Xiao Ruyue stretched out her hand at her.
Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses, and gave Xiao Ruyue a handful of faces, allowing Xiao Ruyue to jump off smoothly and change to another car.
"Let's go." Pressed for time.
As soon as Chongyang flicked the whip, the carriage moved, and after turning the corner, he ran all the way down the road where Xiao Ruyue came.
The hour had passed, it was noon, and the time was indeed very tight.
Chongyang and Qingqing stayed outside the car, and Xiao Ruyue was in the car, closed her eyes and recuperated, and began to practice the troubles that would be encountered at the Qionglin banquet later.
The Qionglin banquet was set up in the Xingqing Palace.
When Xiao Ruyue arrived, almost all of them had arrived, except for Junshang, that is to say, she, the youngest present, was late.
So, Xiao Ruyue said hello to all the adults when she entered the door, exchanged a few words of greeting, and sat down in her position with the arrangement.
On her right hand are Yue Xiang, Xiao Jingyu, Du Ziheng, and Cui Jingxuan, because the top three in the new department are the protagonists of this Qionglin banquet, so they only live below the two adults.
When Xiao Ruyue sat still, she heard a shrill noise-
"Your Excellency has arrived."
The crowd got up and knelt down.
Outside the hall, Yuwen He, who was wearing a dark dragon robe, stepped into the main hall steadily, the five-clawed golden dragon was entrenched in front of him, and the gold embroidery thread set off the dark cloth, which was more majestic and atmospheric than bright yellow.
His face was expressionless, and he looked at the king's spirit of the world, which was natural.
Yu Wenhe slowly took his seat, and the ministers shouted long live, so he waved his hand, "Flat." β
The ministers stood up, and they were in harmony.
When Xiao Ruyue sat down, she glanced at Yu Wenhe on the seat, and there was a sly smile in her eyes.
