Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Domineering Concubine
Lou Yan received the news of Wei Ruyi's entry into the palace, and there was no surprise at all.
Ah Zhong was still a little worried: "Your Excellency, what if that noble Yu is uneasy and kind?" β
"You should be worried, what should you do if you are uneasy?" Lou Yan thought of what Wei Ruyi stirred up, he felt strange, after all, in his opinion, King Rong's affairs were so hidden, he had only recently found some clues, she was able to find the place accurately, and she also designed the Liu family to expose it.
Lingxi looked at Lou Yan who was sitting by the window, and asked people to bring breakfast: "Let's eat first." β
"No need to ......" Before Lou Yan finished speaking, Lingxi's face tightened: "You don't care about her, praise her, don't eat, do you really think you're in good health?" β
Ah Zhong looked at the Lingxi who suddenly lost his temper and shrunk his neck: "Lingxi girl, Your Excellency may just want to rest first." β
Lingxi didn't make a sound, staring at Lou Yan coldly.
Lou Yan only glanced at the food, this was not the skill of the chef in the house, it was made by Lingxi himself.
He said lightly: "You don't have to do these things in the future, the kitchen will be ready." With that, he turned around and went back to his room to change his clothes.
Ah Zhong didn't know how to comfort Lingxi, so he hurriedly followed Lou Yan in, and then said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, Lingxi girl has a really big temper." β
"Hmm." Lou Yan responded lightly, and listened to him again: "Accept it back, in case you fall into the water with Miss Wei, which ...... you save first?"
Lou Yan's face turned cold, and he glanced at him coldly: "Who told you that she would be taken in in the future?" β
Ah Zhong was surprised: "Don't you accept it?" We always thought ......"
Lou Yan only reacted sluggishly at this time, and the misunderstanding that Lingxi would have if he stayed here.
He said directly: "For the time being, let Lingxi go back to take care of Shizun and transfer Mu Yun." β
Ah Zhong watched him walk away ruthlessly, and always felt that he had said the wrong thing, and he was going to drive the Lingxi girl away? Before, he thought that the Lingxi girl would definitely marry His Excellency......
Ah Zhong saw that he still had no intention of repenting, so he went to find Lingxi.
In the pharmacy, when Ah Zhong came, Lingxi was cleaning up the medicinal materials here, and when the sun came out, she had to take them out to dry them in the same way, and she was already familiar with what herbs and what method to cook, as if she had known Lou Yan since she knew him, and studying medicine was for him.
"Lady Rhino."
Ah Zhong looked at her like this, and felt a little unbearable.
Lingxi didn't look back, silently collecting the medicinal materials.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Ah Zhong built up his own psychology before he stepped forward and said, "Lingxi girl, Your Excellency said that you have been too busy recently, and he wants you to rest more." β
Lingxi bent over the body of the medicinal herb and paused slightly, and then slowly stood up: "He wants me to go." β
"It's not to drive you away, it's just ......"
"It's just that there is going to be a new owner in this house soon, and I stay here, he is afraid that people will misunderstand." Lingxi slowly classified the medicinal materials, but his mind was not on these medicinal materials, only empty tidying up, Ah Zhong watched her go back and forth to get those few medicinal materials, and knew that she was sad: "Lingxi girl, you also know your temper, he doesn't want any misunderstanding." β
"I know, you call Mu Yun to serve, and I'll leave when he comes." After saying that, she turned her head and walked past Ah Zhong and went out.
The moment he passed, Ah Zhong saw her reddish eyes, sighed softly, and went out with him.
At this time, Wei Ruyi had already arrived in the palace with Chen Yansleeve, but it was Concubine Roujia who came to see her first.
Rou Jia looked at her and Chen Yansleeve standing at the bottom, the two were cousins, one was beautiful and the other was heroic, both of them were extremely rare appearances.
Jiang Yan also seemed to notice something, and was a little embarrassed: "Concubine Niangniang, mother concubine, you specially called your sons and daughters here today, do you feel bored?" Erchen has recently heard a few new jokes, so I'll tell you about them. β
"I know a joke too, would you like to hear it?" Concubine Roujia asked him.
Jiang Yan smiled, thinking that he had diverted the topic, so he said, "Erchen listens." β
Concubine Roujia also smiled: "The dignified Seven Princes of Beiyan, in their twenties, there are no heirs under their knees, and they haven't even married the concubine, you say it's funny." β
Wei Ruyi was happy to hear it and smiled, Chen Yansleeve was always in a nervous state, and he didn't dare to laugh if he wanted to, for fear that Concubine Roujia would be in a good mood today, so he pointed her out to Jiang Yan.
Rou Jia quietly glanced at the reaction of the two, smiled with satisfaction, leaned on the pillow on the side, looked at the virtuous concubine sitting on the side of the warm couch and said: "You also talk about him, he is not too young, when will we be able to hold our grandson, I am really sad." β
Concubine Xian smiled silently, and Jiang Yan hurriedly said: "Mother, how can there be a reason in this world for concubines to have children without marrying, isn't that a broken rule, so the matter of heirs is ......?"
"So you have to hurry up and marry the concubine, if you marry the concubine, you can have children, regardless of men and women, how about I give you a big red envelope when I give birth?" Roujia interrupted him and asked.
Jiang Yan didn't see that her routine was so deep, so she only said: "Don't worry, in two years, your son will definitely marry you a good daughter-in-law." β
"Come on, I'll be buried in the earth for another two years. Right? Concubine Roujia changed her words and looked at Chen Yansleeve with a smile.
Chen Yansleeve smiled awkwardly, and only glanced at Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan glanced at it and hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the siege: "Mother, I heard that General Chen will go to the battlefield in two years, the real woman is not allowed to shave her eyebrows, you invited her to come, it must be for a good reward." β
The more Concubine Xian listened, the more satisfied Chen Yansleeve became, the Chen family is a family of generals, the family is clean, and her father is still the general of Chen Dingchen, although she used to show up to fight outside, but she has never heard of a bad reputation, but everyone only praised her for being brave and good at fighting, and she is a strange woman.
"Of course, it will be rewarded, but that will be later." Concubine Xian smiled at Chen Yansleeve with satisfaction, and Chen Yansleeve's heart was abrupt.
Wei Ruyi can see that these two ladies are planning to make it clear in person today.
But what do you call yourself to do?
As soon as she thought about it, she heard Concubine Roujia say, "Miss Wei, is your wedding scheduled for the beginning of spring next year?" β
"Yes." Wei Ruyi replied respectfully, Jiang Yan's hand on his lap tightened slightly, and he only looked at her silently.
If she promised herself how good she was, the position of the princess must have been given to her, and all the favors were ......
He was depressed in his heart, Rou Jia and Concubine Xian were both from the past, where could they not see it?
So the more this is the case, the more they feel that Chen Yansleeve is suitable. Because she is Ruyi's sister, once Jiang Yan marries her, she will never think anything about Wei Ruyi again. A friend's wife can't be bullied, if Jiang Yan is really confused for Wei Ruyi, then his reputation in this life will not be clean.
Concubine Xian made up her mind, let Chen Yansleeve come to her, then took her hand, naturally took off a water-green bracelet on her wrist, and smiled softly: "This was given to me by my mother when I entered the palace, and now I give it to you, are you willing to stay?" β
"Mother's ......"
"Mother!" Jiang Yan also stood up hurriedly, but Concubine Xian ignored him and continued to say to Chen Yansleeve: "Although Yan'er is a little stubborn, he has a pure temperament, and he is not the general unlearned and unskilled of those gentlemen, if you are willing, I will support you in the future." β
Chen Yan's sleeve face turned red: "Niangniang, the courtiers understand what you mean, but the matter of children is the words of the parents and the matchmaker......"
"I will naturally go through those processes, but you are a good girl, I don't want to wronged you, if you don't agree, I won't force it." Concubine Xian said again.
Rou Jia looked at Chen Yan's sleeve and her eyes also showed pity: "At the beginning, there were already some rumors in the capital about the inn, if you don't express your position, Yan'er's reputation is not tight anyway, what should you do with a daughter's family?" β
Her words were tactful, but everyone understood the meaning of her words.
Jiang Yan didn't expect that telling a lie at that time would lead to such consequences.
Chen Yansleeve is in a state of indifference, anyway, people are going to marry, and the man who is moved is not worthy of her love, so it doesn't matter who she marries, as long as it is good for the Chen family.
She thought for a moment and looked at Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan didn't know what to do, after all, it was himself who ruined other people's reputations, if he didn't agree to marry, wouldn't he be an ungrateful villain?
He looked at Wei Ruyi, who was standing quietly on the other side, and knew that there was no fate in this life, so he finally bowed down to Roujia and Concubine Xian, and then said to Chen Yansleeve: "If Miss Chen is willing, I am willing to come to the door to ask for marriage in person." β
Chen Yansleeve has nothing to think about, if he doesn't marry Jiang Yan, he will inevitably be calculated by Jiang Di.
She took the bracelet from Concubine Xian and blessed her.
Rou Jia smiled and said: "Ruyi, isn't Guiren Yu still looking for you, now that the matter is decided, I'm not afraid of ruining your cousin's reputation, you go first." β
"Niangniang, I'll go with Ruyi." Chen Yansleeve said busily.
"Don't worry, I'm still in charge of this palace." Rou Jia saw Chen Yansleeve's worry at a glance, but Chen Yansleeve still didn't worry about you, Ruyi, a little girl, didn't let others handle it when she went to someone else's palace.
Wei Ru agreed, and also knew that Concubine Xian and Rou Jia must have some intimate words with her that were temporarily inconvenient for others to know, so she only said: "Sister, don't worry, you have a jade bracelet in your hand, and I also have a gold bracelet in my hand, don't worry." β
When Rou Jia heard this, she remembered the gold bracelet that the old lady gave her, and then looked at her calm and calm at this time, and only felt that she was more and more smart.
"Ju'er, if you go with Miss Wei, just say what I mean, wherever she goes, you will follow, understand?"
Roujia Road.
A tall, well-dressed palace maid walked out next to her, and saluted Wei Ru with a smile.
Wei Ruyi returned the gift gratefully, and then went out.
The sun was already blazing, and the palace wall was still a little shady, so she walked next to the palace wall, and while pacing and thinking about who Yu Guiren would pass on this word for herself, she heard the sound of coughing, and the anxious voices of others.
"The doctor asked you to take medicine, why don't you listen, come out now, what if you get sick again."
"And you rushed from Tsz Yun Temple overnight last night to make the minions uneasy......"
The nagging words reminded Wei Ruyi of Tan'er, and he couldn't help but look curiously into the palace wall around the corner, only to see an adult man standing in front of a dead tree coughing continuously, coughing so that both cheeks were slightly red.
"Who's where!"
Suddenly, someone shouted at her, and the adult man also frowned and looked at her, it was okay not to look at it, and when he saw the jade bead she had accidentally exposed with a red rope.
He was surprised for a moment, and then he looked up at her year, fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a light green brocade embroidered blouse, with a pleated skirt of the same color piercing branches and butterflies, Xu was just standing firm, her steps were shaking in her ears, with her bright eyes, full of youthful breath, or, the breath of life......
Ju'er recognized him and immediately whispered to Wei Ruyi: "This is His Royal Highness King Ping." β
Wei Ruyi hurriedly saluted. Speaking of which, His Royal Highness King Ping has already taken the hair to practice, she has never seen it, and she almost saw it last time......
Thinking of Princess Ping, she felt uncomfortable, but she couldn't show that she still remembered Princess Ping, otherwise the words would reach the ears of the emperor, and her life would be over.
"His Royal Highness King Ping, the courtiers happened to be passing by, please don't be surprised."
"Get up." The voice is slightly hoarse, but there is a gentle and inner power, which makes people immediately let down their guard.
"You ......"
"Your Highness's cough should be due to the summer heat, and now that it's hot, you should rest in the room more. The courtiers don't bother His Highness Yaxing. Wei Ruyi was afraid that he would leak his mouth, so he hurriedly said two sentences and left.
King Ping saw her leave like this, paused, and laughed rarely. It's good to be young, if Xian'er is still there, she will feel like this.
The father-in-law on one side saw that he had been sad for so long, and he actually laughed when he saw the young lady just now, and he was very surprised.
"Go and inquire who that young lady is, and the jade bead she is carrying, strung with a red rope...... Where did you get it? King Ping hesitated, but still commanded.
"Yes."
"Well, don't alarm others, and don't disturb her." After King Ping finished speaking, he only looked at the dead tree in front of him, and left the palace with an indifferent expression.
This tree was planted with his father when he was young, and sure enough, after a long time, the evergreen tree will also die, not to mention the ridiculous father-son relationship of the already affectionate emperor's family.
After Wei Ruyi left King Ping, she has always been curious about how King Ping now restrained the hatred in his heart and came to see the emperor so calmly, and she deeply felt the hatred that was tormented in her dreams day and night.
Soon arrived in front of Yu Guiren's palace.
The place where Yu Guiren lives is not remote, after all, there was the help of the queen before, but there are two concubines and her a noble person living in this palace, and the two concubines are not young when they hear it, and they are very timid, so they basically don't come out, and of course they can't get the emperor's care, although Yu Guiren's position is smaller, but it seems to be the master here.
Wei Ruyi just came, and the palace maid waiting at the door saw Ju'er: "Why is Sister Ju'er here too?" β
"The concubine instructed, let the slave maid follow Miss Wei, where Miss Wei goes, where the slave maid goes, don't leave half a step." Ju'er replied lightly.
"Is the concubine Niangniang guarding against the concubine?" Yu Guiren walked out of the house, Ju'er smiled lightly and saluted, and replied: "Maybe that's the case, the slave maid can't guess the mother's thoughts." But Niangniang has always been upright in doing things, and she doesn't hide anything, so you must be the same for you, right? β
Wei Ruyi saw Yu Guiren's slightly clenched hand, but Ju'er's words were domineering. Sure enough, the people around Concubine Roujia have the same temperament as her.
The embarrassment on Yu Guiren's face flashed, and he only looked at Wei Ruyi: "Miss Wei is here, let's drink tea in the room first." β
"Ruyi doesn't dare to bother Niangniang more, if Niangniang has anything to say, it's better to say it here." Wei Ruyi didn't want to go in, she generally felt that there was something hidden in it that she didn't want to get involved with now, such as Liu Cairen.
It was Mrs. Liu who invited her to enter the palace, and the queen must have wanted to know whether it was the Chen family's idea or Lou Yan's idea behind it, but unfortunately it wasn't.
"Right here?"
"Ruyi and Niangniang are meeting for the first time now, and I'm really worried that it will disturb you."
"Are you worried about some flood beast in there?" Yu Guiren laughed to himself.
Ju'er followed: "Miss Wei, go in, the slave and maid will accompany you." β
When Yu Guiren heard that she was going in, he only smiled and said, "Ling'er, you invite Ju'er to drink tea in the ear room, and you can also take some new snacks, I have something to say to Miss Wei." β
The meaning of these words was to forcibly drag Wei Ruyi in.
Ju'er's eyebrows twisted slightly: "The slave must obey the instructions of the concubine, dare not drink tea without authorization, and ask the nobles to forgive me." β
"You don't want to listen to those thoughtful words. And inviting Miss Wei to come this time is really a bit of a personal problem, those diseases that the imperial doctor can't see, Miss Wei may have a way, is it possible that the concubine Niangniang still doesn't allow me to see the disease? Yu Guiren seemed to be joking, but there was some threat in his words.
Concubine Roujia is favored, but she Yu Guiren is not completely speechless to the emperor.
Ju'er hesitated, and Wei Ruyi felt more and more that it was Liu Cairen sitting inside.
"It's really unfortunate, I also want to ask Miss Wei to take a look for me."
A voice that surprised Yu Guiren sounded, Wei Ruyi turned his head to look, and saw Concubine Meng walking towards here in a gorgeous dress.
She is dressed up very exquisitely today, and when she walks, Wei Ruyi's eyes are dazzled by the pearls and emeralds on her head in the sun.
After Concubine Meng approached, she didn't look at Wei Ruyi, but only smiled and said to Yu Gui: "There are some words that people can't hear, but I can always listen to them." I also have some personal illnesses to ask Miss Wei to see, but the precious concubine Niangniang is so tight that her baby is tight, if it weren't for the coincidence today, I don't know when she will be free next time. After all, she is also the future wife of the national teacher, not an ordinary medical girl, and she can't be invited casually, right? β
Yu Guiren's smile froze on her face, it turned out that she was here to stir up the situation today.
"Yes, I was negligent." She smiled reluctantly, and the palace maid who was called Ning'er reflected, and said with a smile: "Isn't Miss Wei going back to the concubine Niangniang for a while, the side concubine might as well go to the concubine Niangniang'......"
"Your nobleman is trying to drive me away?" Concubine Meng felt that there must be something wrong with their sneaky appearance. Now that Yu Rouyi has entered the mansion with that fox, there is only this aunt who is a nobleman left, and she will not fulfill her if she gets the news!
After speaking, he looked at Wei Ruyi with a smile: "Miss Wei, when did you become so familiar with the nobles, you were more familiar than me, and let her only want you to enter her room alone." β
"The courtiers also saw the nobleman for the first time, and I didn't know, but I thought there was someone hidden in the nobleman's house." Wei Ruyi laughed, looking joking, and Yu Guiren's face tightened slightly.
Concubine Meng may be worse in scheming, but observing words and expressions is a skill that she has cultivated since she was a child, and she immediately saw that Wei Ruyi had something to say and Yu Guiren's nervousness, so she immediately covered her forehead and said, "I have a headache, help me quickly......"
The maid beside her immediately took great pains to hold her up, and said to Yu Guidao: "Noble, our concubine must have been in the summer heat when she came, please hurry up and let her go in and sit and have a cup of tea." β
Yu Guiren's forehead was slightly sweaty.
Her room was not big, and when she entered, she could see the people and things inside, and it was impossible to hide them in some corner.
Concubine Meng saw her nervousness, and pretended to be more and more powerful: "My head is so dizzy......"
"Noble, why don't you invite the side concubine in first." Wei Ruyi also followed.
Yu Guiren really didn't expect Concubine Meng to come, she saw that Concubine Meng herself was about to break in, she heard a burst of laughter, and then a surprised voice: "Isn't this Miss Wei and the Seventh Emperor Sister-in-law?" β
Because Jiang Yan has never accepted the concubine, she has called the concubine Meng and the imperial sister-in-law.
Hearing her voice, Concubine Meng turned around and saw her coming over with a group of people.
Zhuohua looked at her and smiled: "I didn't expect you to come, but I came to congratulate Miss Wei?" β
"Congratulations?" Concubine Meng looked puzzled, Wei Ruyi was dumbfounded, she was a praying mantis, and she was left behind.
"Didn't the Seventh Emperor Sister-in-law hear that the concubine and the mother concubine have already decided on the Seventh Imperial Princess." Zhuohua smiled gently, her facial features were already gentle and gentle, but now she smiled like this, and her words were not confirmed.
Concubine Meng was stunned, how could the concubine and the concubine suddenly decide to be concubines? Hasn't the concubine always liked herself?
She couldn't pretend to be dizzy, and asked her repeatedly: "Who is it?" What does it have to do with Miss Wei, hasn't she already promised it to the national teacher? β
"It's Miss Chen Yansleeve of the Chen family, Miss Chen is not only from a high family, but also virtuous and virtuous, it is indeed suitable, but it is not as good as the Seventh Emperor Sister-in-law You have been with the Seven Emperor Brothers for so many years." Zhuohua's words seem to be a little regretful, but these are exactly what Concubine Meng herself thinks, although she is not as good as Chen Yansleeve, but who can compare to her many years of companionship, she dares to say that the mother concubine does not necessarily know the preferences of the Seven Princes better than her.
She couldn't stand still, thinking that she was still wasting time here, but there was a woman who was about to enter the house, so she couldn't bear it anymore, and went to the palace of Concubine Roujia with wet eyes, and she didn't shout dizziness or heat stroke.
As soon as she left, Zhuo Hua said, "If Miss Wei is afraid of going in alone, I'll go in with you." After speaking, Zhuohua walked in first.
Wei Ruyi couldn't, so she had to follow, but Ju'er walked outside the house and was stopped by Zhuohua with an excuse.
When he arrived inside, Yu Guiren's face was already a little contemptuous, and he sneered at her: "Miss Wei is so reluctant to come, is it because of a weak heart?" β
"The courtiers don't understand what the nobleman means."
"Don't understand? What are you going to do when you go to Liu's house many times? There is also the Yu family, Yu Yushi was burned alive, you don't know, he just said a few words to you, and he was sent to prison by the national teacher, so there is today's tragedy, Miss Wei is really good. Yu Guiren's hand clutched the water cup tightly and looked at her coldly.
Wei Ruyi raised his head without a weak heart, and said: "The fire in the Criminal Department is due to the dereliction of duty of the guards of the Criminal Department, or who in that prison has made enemies with others, which has affected Yu Yushi. As for Yushi being arrested, it was entirely because he was involved in the case of the Runan Palace, but if Yu Guiren was bent on blaming the courtiers, the courtiers were just the daughters of the fourth-grade officials, and they couldn't say anything, so they asked the nobles to punish them. β
Yu Guiren stared at her for a long time before he burst out: "What a young lady with sharp teeth." β
"Niangniang has an overreputation, but the courtiers just listened to Niangniang's words, and felt that Yu Yushi's death was indeed strange, you can rest assured, the courtiers will definitely ask the concubine Niangniang to say a few more words to the emperor, and ask the emperor to order someone to investigate thoroughly, and it is bound to find out the arsonist." Wei Ruyi lowered his eyes and said.
Hearing this, Zhuohua on the side looked lightly at Yu Guiren, who was about to say more, and said, "Didn't the noble man say that my father gave me a new colored pearl with excellent water and light, I just wanted to take a look." β
Wei Ruyi saw that she directly diverted the topic, and smiled in her heart, although this matter may have been done by King Rong, but King Xiao is afraid that he has not thought about it, if he really wants to find out, it is not certain who will be counted, Zhuohua is still a smart person.
Yu Guiren has been immersed in the palace for many years, and he also understands the meaning of Zhuohua's words, so after holding back all his anger, he got up and invited her to the inner room.
As soon as they entered, someone came out of it.
The subordinates all consciously avoided it, Wei Ruyi saw her and saluted: "The courtiers have seen talented people." β
"I only want to ask you one thing, does Xuan'er's death have anything to do with you, Lou Yan, and the Chen family!"
"His Royal Highness King Xuan died of cholera, how can it have anything to do with us?" Wei Ruyi asked her puzzled.
Liu Cairen's whole person has lost a lot of weight, it looks like he is about to lose shape, his cheekbones are high and protruding, his eye sockets are sunken, and it seems that his eyeballs are about to bulge, which is very hideous.
Wei Ruyi understands her feelings about the loss of her beloved son, but King Xuan, a waste who treats human life like a mustard, is really not a good person.
Liu Cairen stared at her closely, trying to see something from her face. But it's a pity that Wei Ruyi's emotions converged very well, and there was no flaw.
Liu Cairen looked at it, and suddenly started to go crazy, stepped forward and grabbed her shoulders tightly, and his nails seemed to pierce into the flesh through her thin shirt.
Wei Ruyi was in pain, and frowned slightly: "Talented people ......"
"How, then, did you get involved in these things? Why did you go and invite the old lady into the palace? Liu Cairen made a muffled sound in his throat, and seemed to be trying his best to hold back his crying.
Wei Ruyi knew that she couldn't find anything, so she hoped that the only person she could contact would say something.
Wei Ruyi only said: "The talented people mourn, the courtiers really don't know anything, as for going to invite the old lady, it was completely just passing by, and I mentioned a few rumors in the market......"
"You talk nonsenseββ!" Liu Cairen pushed her back violently, and when he saw her hit the table, he said angrily: "How can you not know anything?" Wei Ruyi, you are really a disaster star, if it weren't for you, how could my emperor be sent to that ghost place, how could he be infected with cholera and lose his life, how I wish it was you who died! Liu Cairen rushed up again like crazy, Wei Ruyi barely dodged, but the people outside didn't seem to hear it, she gritted her teeth, turned her head and rushed to the inside, looked at Zhuohua who was standing on the side and looked at her in astonishment, and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, what's wrong with Cairen?" β
Zhuohua looked at her as if she didn't understand anything, and wondered in her heart, Wei Ruyi was so smart, could she guess that she and Yu Guiren were a gang to trick her in?
"Wei Ruyi, I want you to pay for my emperor's life today!"
"Niangniang think twice, Ruyi died here, how do you explain it to the emperor? And Ruyi is also protected by the old lady, if you blame it. Where do you still have the time to take care of His Royal Highness King Xuan for his widow. Wei Ruyi said while hiding behind Zhuohua.
Zhuohua definitely didn't want to push her, but he didn't want to help her, he only thought selfishly that if Liu Cairen killed Wei Ruyi, it would be Liu Cairen's own business, and besides, his father now felt that he owed Brother Xuan Wang and Liu Cairen, maybe he wouldn't blame him.
She stood still, Wei Ruyi only hid behind her, and said: "And have you ever thought about it, His Royal Highness King Xuan is the emperor's favorite son besides King Ping, and now the crown prince is undecided, and there are many forces everywhere, His Royal Highness King Xuan is sick and died, and Yu courtiers have no half benefit." β
Liu Cairen's footsteps stopped, and he suddenly understood.
Yes, competing for the prince and heir, didn't all dynasties come over like this, deceitful and fratricidal, even in the most peaceful time, several princes and princes have to calculate, why did she forget?
King Xuan is her son, and he should be at the top of the line, no matter whether he is a long-term successor......
She immediately looked at Zhuohua.
Zhuohua didn't expect that Wei Ruyi would actually lead the words to her head.
She glanced at Yu Guiren, Yu Guiren understood, and immediately said: "Niangniang, you can think clearly, don't wronged anyone, let anyone chill their hearts......"
"Chilling? Who else can be chilled, Concubine Xian? β
Concubine Roujia's voice sounded from outside, and Yu Guiren's face turned slightly pale, and he immediately looked at Zhuohua.
Zhuohua didn't expect her to come, isn't Concubine Meng supposed to be making trouble now, how did she come over?
She immediately walked out to greet her, but Rou Jia only glanced at her coldly, and then looked at Liu Cairen: "It seems that the emperor has lifted the grounding of talented people." β
Liu Cairen stared at her coldly, since Roujia entered the palace, she has always been humble, whether it is the emperor's favor, or the family background that is enough to give her the confidence to be in the palace, no one cares about it.
"She is a talented person, she is ......" Yu Guiren wanted to explain, Rou Jia's eyes sharpened: "You are also a bastard, I thought you asked Ruyi to do something, it turned out that you were planning to make these subordinate means behind your back, shameless and despicable!" β
Rou Jia scolded in front of everyone, and Yu Guiren's face was blue and white, so he had to kneel on the ground in a hurry.
Zhuohua didn't dare to hit the muzzle of the gun, but Roujia didn't plan to let her go.
"Concubine Xian has raised you under your knees for so many years, and you have learned some superficial kung fu for her gentleness and virtuousness, but in the end, it still matters to your brother-in-law, what is this nurturing grace?" Roujia sarcastically mocked her.
Zhuohua stepped forward and saluted: "Zhuohua knows his mistake. β
"Wrongdoing? Thanks to your words, Concubine Meng almost fainted at this time, you are good, be a good person on both sides. It's really unfamiliar, thanks to Concubine Xian who took care of you like that before, when you were sick, she was undressed and took care of herself, this is how you repaid it, white-eyed wolf. Rou Jia disliked her more and more, when her biological mother died of illness, Concubine Xian saw that she was young and pitiful and wanted to raise her by her side, she didn't agree, and now look, she is really a virtue with her mother, and she is very affectionate.
Zhuohua's face turned slightly pale, and he forced himself to maintain his dignity, standing in front of her and barely squeezing out a smile: "If the mother doesn't listen to Zhuohua's explanation, Zhuohua will go to the concubine to ask for guilt." With that, he bowed and went out.
Rou Jia didn't bother to pay attention to her, and only looked at Wei Ruyi who was hiding behind with interest: "What are you hiding, so big people think I can't see it?" β
"Courtiers don't dare to ......"
"Don't dare?" Rou Jia snorted lightly: "You don't know where you learned such a set of hypocrisy, dare not, I just heard what you said." Little girl, is she too lazy to embroider or too lazy to read, she is thinking about going to the crown prince's government, look at you. Although Rou Jia seemed to reprimand, her tone was much softer than Fang Cai.
The people in the room were trembling, and Wei Ruyi only obediently bowed and admitted his mistake: "Ruyi also occasionally remembered a few words when I heard someone mention it." β
"In the future, you should remember less of your daughter's family, and think about dressing yourself well." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Yu Guiren on the ground again: "Concubine Fang heard Ju'er say, you have some women's diseases?" β
Without waiting for Yu Guiren to reply, Rou Jia continued: "That is the case, then you can't serve the emperor." Someone came and instructed the Internal Affairs Office to remove Yu Guiren's sign permanently. β
Yu Guiren's face was pale, if she removed the sign, she was afraid that she would never see the emperor again in her life, so wouldn't she be the same as the other two concubines in this courtyard?
She hurriedly stepped forward: "Niangniang, the concubine's illness ......"
"Okay, keep it, the concubine will tell the emperor for you." After Rou Jia finished speaking, she raised her hand and looked at Wei Ruyi: "Don't you come to support the concubine?" β
Wei Ruyi understood, and hurriedly stepped forward to support this domineering boss, regardless of Liu Cairen's complicated eyes, and regardless of Yu Guiren's face, he followed out.
However, there are also some feelings that in this harem, there are really some people who can break the thoughts of others for a lifetime with one sentence.
Coming out of Yu Guiren, Rou Jia asked Wei Ruyi a little proudly: "Do you know what a noble concubine is?" β
"Courtiers are stupid."
"Concubine, the emphasis is on the word 'noble', the queen is not as noble as this noble word, the queen is the lord of the six palaces, yes, but she will always have to dominate the harem with a serious shelf, but the concubine is different, the same identity is noble, and you don't have to pay attention to these idle things."
Rou Jia said with a smile, Wei Ruyi only felt that she was simple.
After so many years in the harem, it's still so simple.
She held her hand, and couldn't help but probe her pulse, only determined not to tell her this secret for the rest of her life, so that she simply thought that the emperor was also affectionate, at least she didn't know, and she could live happily for a lifetime.
"By the way, Ruyi, what do you think of your cousin Miss Sun?" Roujia suddenly asked her. γ
"Juan'er?"
"yes, that's the name. Juan'er, the name is very good, last time your second aunt also handed over a letter to say that she came to the palace to ask for peace, but the concubine was very lazy for a few days, so I didn't see her. Speaking of which, your cousin is a talented girl, although she has been in office with Sun Shangshu, she is a very talented person. Roujia said with a smile, and her words were full of beautiful words.
Wei Ruyi's heart was a little drumming, and she said with a smile: "Why did Niangniang suddenly ask about her?" β
"What else can there be, Zhuohua mentioned it to Concubine Xian a few days ago, saying that he wanted her to propose marriage for King Xiao, saying that your sister Yansleeve and your cousin are excellent. It just so happened that we liked the sleeve and gave it to the seventh, and the fourth naturally had to choose another. After Rou Jia finished speaking, she sneered lightly: "Zhuohua will plan for her own brother, Concubine Xian treats her so well, she doesn't mention the banquet." β
Wei Ruyi didn't know what to say, let the Sun family marry King Xiao, wasn't that a disguised drag of the Wei family? The Wei family is involved, and the Chen family and the National Teacher's Mansion are inseparable.
No, you can't let Sun Wan'er marry Jiang Di.
She was thinking that she had already arrived in Roujia's palace, but when she came, she heard the mournful cry of Concubine Meng.
Jiang Yan's face was not very good-looking, Chen Yansleeve stood on one side as if out of place, and when he saw that she had come back safely, he hurriedly greeted her: "Ruyi ......"
"Don't worry, what can happen with this concubine?" Rou Jia looked at her and smiled, and then looked at the crying Concubine Meng: "Don't cry, I'm thinking about marrying another concubine to Yan'er, you can get an idea......"
Concubine Meng cried even harder.
Jiang Yan looked at Chen Yansleeve and Wei Ruyi awkwardly, and didn't know what to say, so he just walked over and said, "I'll send you out of the palace first." β
"It's fine." Chen Yansleeve looked at Concubine Meng and Concubine Xian, who were so fierce, and she was also a little big, so she hurriedly saluted and came out.
When they came out, the three of them were speechless all the way, and when they were almost at the gate of the palace, Chen Yansleeve grabbed Wei Ruyi and whispered: "Ruyi, do you think this can be done?" β
She originally thought that whoever she married would be married, as long as she didn't marry King Xiao, where did she think that Concubine Meng would make such a fuss? If you really get married, then you can't make a fuss?
Wei Ruyi actually thinks that Jiang Yan is a good person: "If my sister pursues a couple for a lifetime, this matter is not appropriate." β
Chen Yansleeve's face flushed: "I don't have those thoughts, I don't even want to get married, but my father and grandfather are urging me every year."
"That being the case, then let's marry, who is not a room of concubines, the Seventh Prince is at least not as ignorant and unreasonable as other men." Wei Ruyi said.
Chen Yansleeve thought about it, looked at Jiang Yan who was walking in front, thought about it, and didn't say anything more. γ
The three of them walked out of the palace gate, and Jiang Yan said again: "Simply, I'll send you back to Chen's house." β
"It's fine." Chen Yansleeve replied, Wei Ruyi looked at his embarrassed and awkward appearance, and almost didn't laugh out loud. γ
After waiting for the carriage to return to Chen's house, Wei Ruyi looked at Jiang Yan who was hesitant and said, "Why don't the Seventh Prince go in and have a cup of tea." β
Jiang Yan subconsciously said: "It's okay ......."
The three of them were stunned, and then they looked at each other and laughed.
They walked towards Chen's Mansion together, but after only two steps, Wei Ruyi felt that Rumang was on his back, and subconsciously turned his head to look behind him, only to see a small black bird staring at her, fluttering its wings and pecking at her eyes.
