Chapter 11 Take the initiative
Recently, the border war has been tight, and Qianlong, who has always been diligent, simply stationed his dormitory in the Palace of Nourishing Heart for two months.
Naturally, the harem has no time to take care of it, so the palaces are also calm.
As the lord of the six palaces, the queen is sorry for her husband at the very least, and at the big point, she should show the demeanor of the lord of the six palaces and set an example as the mother of a country, at this juncture, she will find a way to care about the emperor's body. But in order to avoid suspicion, the harem must not disturb the emperor's handling of government affairs, so she thought of it, boiled rock sugar white fungus soup by herself, made osmanthus cake, and did not come forward, and found someone to send it to the emperor to show her concern.
And the first thing she thought of when she chose this person was Wei Ruling.
This time, Ruling did not shirk, she hung Qianlong's appetite for so long, coupled with the "saving grace" of Qianlong's imperial garden last time, she estimated that it was time for her to give some sweetness for the emperor to taste.
Gonggong Su restrained his steps and walked into the hall lightly: "Your Majesty, the Ruling girl in the queen's palace is asking to see you outside." It is said that the mother is sympathetic to the emperor, you have been in a hurry to stay up late to deal with the border war, and your body can't bear it, so you personally cooked some snacks and sent them to you. ”
The emperor sat on the hall with his brows furrowed, concentrating on government affairs, and did not raise his head: "Let her in." ”
"Huh!"
After a while, I saw Gonggong Su leading Ruling into the hall, and his eyes signaled, and he retreated.
Wei Ruling carried a basket full of snacks and approached the Long Live Lord: "The slave Wei Ruling saw the Long Live Lord, and the slave maid specially came to deliver snacks to the Long Live Lord on the order of the queen's mother." ”
The whole hall was unusually quiet, and after a long while, Qianlong raised his head and looked at this girl who had already left an impression on him, and he didn't say a word. I saw Wei Ruling looking at Qianlong indifferently, neither humble nor arrogant, as if people couldn't see the emotions in her heart.
Qianlong came back to his senses, "Put your things down, I'm afraid it's difficult to run for you, presumably you don't want to come more in this Heart Cultivation Palace." ”
Ru Ling thought to herself: The fish really took the bait, it seems that this master is still unhappy about the last time she refused to come to serve in the Heart Cultivation Palace.
"The emperor's words are tormenting the slave maid, the slave maid is to do things according to the will of my mother, this is loyalty, and the second is to be able to do a little bit for the emperor's health, this is the obligation and honor of the slave and maid as the people of the Qing Dynasty."
Qianlong smiled disdainfully, they were all hypocritical words, it seemed that it was nothing more than that, no different from the hypocritical and flattering faces of the minions in this palace, thinking of this, Qianlong couldn't help but feel a little impatient, and was about to wave her hand and send her away.
"The third is that the slave maid always remembers the grace of your rescue in the imperial garden last time, and has always wanted to find an opportunity to thank you in person. Why wouldn't the slave want to see you? ”
"Oh?" Qianlong suddenly became interested, "Is it my fault to blame you for saying this?" ”
"Slaves and maids don't dare" Ruling pretended to bow his head and apologize.
Seeing that Qianlong didn't mean to blame, Ru Lingluo generously presented the basket and brought out the dim sum in an orderly manner: "This rock sugar white fungus soup is made by the queen's mother, and I hope the emperor will drink it while it's hot." ”
Ru Ling smiled at the emperor who was looking at him, not coquettish, not flattering, neither humble nor arrogant, "If there is nothing else, the slave and maid will not disturb the long live master, and retire first." Wei Ruling didn't wait for Qianlong's reaction, and turned around and left.
Qianlong was accustomed to groveling and submissive minions, and this was the first time he had done this, and he couldn't help but feel strange in his heart.
Looking at Wei Ruling's departing back, he was still immersed in the bright smile she had just had, and the corners of his mouth raised a trace of an arc that was not easy to detect.
The moment Ru Ling turned around, a smug smile rose in his heart: "Only by putting a long line can you catch a big fish." The figure left the Heart Cultivation Palace.
