Chapter 30: Worry

Calamus's face was sad and resolute: "Although this palace is worried because of the poison of a hundred flowers, at least the mind is sober, and it will not let go of the people who harm this palace for no reason." You don't need to remind Hongu of this. ”

Ruorong was signaled by Su Ruyuan to retreat with a look.

Su Ruyuan patiently asked Calamus: "My sister was a maid official at the beginning, and I don't think I will wronged a good person." ”

"I won't let go of a bad guy."

Su Ruyuan still smiled: "Yes." But my sister said that it wasn't Gulan, but there was evidence? ”

"Hundred flowers are forbidden drugs in the palace, where did a maid and aunt in Gulan get it? "

"If she has the heart to poison the child in her sister's womb, she will definitely find a way. "

"It's strange here, Gu Lan has no grievances with his concubines, and he risked death to harm his concubines with a hundred flowers, which is really incredible. When she said this, Calamus looked at Su Ruyuan's eyes and spoke.

Su Ruyuan slowly restrained his smile: "I don't know about this palace, I should ask Gu Lan." "

Calamus didn't smile either: "So the concubine suspects that this incident is not Gu Lan's doing." Rather, there is someone else. "

"Does my sister have any evidence? "

"Of course. Calamus glanced at everyone, "Sister, guess, who is that person?" "

"Hongu can't guess. "

Calamus said: "That person is Huilan's former henchman. "

Su Ruyuan: "Wen Jieyu is right, Concubine An didn't forget to excuse Gu Lan after being poisoned by a hundred flowers, and even the palace ...... I admire it all. ”

Ruorong learned that Gu Lan was going to be released, and hurriedly said, "No! Can't let the Quran out! ”

Su Ruyuan was slightly angry: "Although you are the supervising aunt, it is not your turn to call the shots in the Internal Service Bureau." Instead, he commanded, "Bring the Qur'an out." ”

Seeing that Gu Lan was covered in injuries, everyone present gasped.

Calamus said leisurely: "It seems that after the selection of the new internal officer, the rules of this supervision bureau have to be rectified. She looked at Ruorong meaningfully, "If you are fortunate enough to serve as a lady-in-waiting, don't take this lightly. ”

Back in Renming Palace, Ruorong followed Su Ruyuan into the inner hall, and a cup of tea smashed into her face, Ruorong didn't have time to wipe it and knelt down: "The queen forgives her sins!" ”

Su Ruyuan said expressionlessly: "A simple matter has become so complicated now, should this palace say that you are stupid or that you are not capable?" ”

"Everything is leaky, but the slave didn't expect Concubine An to come to such a trick."

Su Ruyuan gritted her teeth: "She not only rescued Gu Lan from the Supervision Bureau, but also killed Twilight." The hundred flowers of the main palace are for Twilight to handle. According to the palace, gladiolus already knows the inside story of Baihuasan. ”

Ruorong hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, only we know about this matter, and it is impossible for Concubine An to find evidence." ”

"How do you explain Twilight's matter?"

"It must be the blind cat who ran into a dead mouse, and if Concubine An knew that it was us who did it, why didn't she say it?"

Night.

Calamus hugged Sun Wen from behind, and he subconsciously covered her hand: "What's wrong?" ”

"The concubine saved Gulan, will it make the emperor feel embarrassed?"

She naturally understood the current situation and Sun Wen's situation, she and Su Ruyuan were like eggs hitting stones, and she had no other way than to ask him intimately like this.

Sun Wenwen said in a deep voice: "It's nothing, as long as you're happy." ”

She leaned closer to him: "This time the concubine is willful, and next time it won't." ”

Her bulging belly was against her buttocks, and Sun Wen felt a burst of heat in her body, and couldn't help but move her body: "It's late, let's sleep." ”

"Hmm." Calamus should arrive, "Before going to bed, the concubine asked the emperor to turn his face." ”

Sun Wen turned around and saw that Calamus was wearing a pink silk nightgown, her black hair hanging down and vaguely outlining her white neck, he secretly clenched his fists and took a deep breath.

Calamus kissed him coldly on the cheek.

Sun Wen suddenly blushed: "You ......"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Calamus understands her status, and she also thinks that Sun Wen will indulge herself once for the sake of a hundred flowers.

She knew she was just too smart.

Seeing that she treated herself with such a charming method, Sun Wen cursed in a low voice: "Damn! Turning around and holding the iris under him, "Do you have to evoke my thoughts?" ”

"Concubine ......"

Calamus pillowed in the crook of his arm, tilted his head and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Do you still have the tips I gave you before?"

"Tips?"

Sun Wen, who was still kind and pleasant just now, suddenly sank his face when he saw Calamus so hesitant: "You shouldn't have lost it, right?" ”

Calamus pushed in his arms: "Before the concubine could slow down, the emperor suddenly talked about the matter of the bag, you have to think about it, don't you?" ”

Sun Wen glanced at her: "Don't pretend to be kind to me in front of me like other people, sometimes it makes people sick to their stomachs." ”

Calamus immediately retracted her demeanor, this man really turned his face faster than turning a book, and just now he said that she was a goblin, and he said disgusting so quickly.

"Have you recovered now?" Sun Wen rested her leg on top of herself, "If you haven't already, I can let you * again." ”

"It's too slow, it's too hard." Calamus hurriedly withdrew her legs, "How could the trick given by the emperor to the concubines be lost, it's still there." ”

"You have to put it away."

"Because it's the emperor's fate to his concubines?"

"Take it as it is." Sun Wen was a little vague, "Don't lose it." ”

"The concubine remembered."

Sun Wen looked down at the embroidery on the pillow and asked, "Did you embroider it?" ”

Calamus blushed: "When I have nothing to do, I embroidered some honeysuckle." ”

He stroked the veins with his hand: "I can't see that your needlework is quite delicate." He saw something under the pillow again and took it out, "What is this?" ”

"The emperor will return the concubines."

Sun Wen held it up: "This is ...... Belly pockets? He saw a few little children embroidered on the red brocade, extremely cute, and his heart felt strangely soft, "Did you make it for the child in the womb?" ”

Calamus hummed lightly: "The concubine wants to make some clothes and prepare as soon as possible, and it will be inconvenient to do it when her belly is bigger." ”

He clutched his belly pocket in the palm of his hand: "You must really want to see this child born, right?" ”

Calamus is silent.

Sun Wen gently and tightly, hugged her in his arms, bowed his head and kissed her cheek: "He is my child and yours, he will be fine." ”

Calamus buried her face in his broad chest: "The concubine is not afraid to go to Yongxiang. ”

"I don't want to see you go to Yongxiang." Sun Wen said in a deep voice, "I want to protect you and the child. ”

Calamus was stunned: "But the child is destined to be different from others." She tried her best to hold back her grief and keep the tears from flowing.

Sun Wen held her hand: "On the fifteenth day of the first month of the month, I will accompany you to the Taimiao Temple to pray for blessings, and ask God to bless me with the safety of this child." ”

On the day of the selection of the internal attendants, Sun Wen, Su Ruyuan, and Calamus were all present to preside, and the atmosphere of the entire internal attendant bureau was particularly special.

Gu Lan has a chance to participate in the selection again due to the clear suspicion, but she has not fully recovered, and her whole personality is vain and worrying. After all, he is a fierce opponent, so Ruorong has secretly put in a little effort.

Calamus, as the previous maid official, was the main judge, and she cleared her throat: "The new maid is selected by the Inner Servant Bureau to supervise Aunt Ruorong and the maid's aunt Gulan, you have to conduct three competitions, the emperor, the queen mother and the palace are the chief judges, and the selection will be conducted in a fair and just manner." ”

Ruorong and Gulan knelt down and saluted: "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

"The first competition is to record the monthly events of the Inner Service Bureau." Saying that, Calamus slapped her high-five, and immediately someone from the palace brought a few cases and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, Calamus stretched out her hand and motioned for the two of them to sit down, "As an internal officer, you must have an amazing memory to clearly know the size of the internal servant bureau in the past three years, and now ask the two aunts to start recording the affairs of the past three years, and whoever records accurately and carefully after half an hour will be considered the winner." ”

Ruorong and Gulan immediately put pen to paper.

Su Ruyuan sat on the top and said to Sun Wen: "I thought Concubine An would take the test for their piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc., but I didn't expect to get these exams." ”

Sun Wen showed an appreciative smile: "What the inner attendant wants is ability, and no matter how proficient he is in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he can't become a climate." ”

Su Ruyuan smiled and said, "Yes, the concubine also thinks that Concubine An is very well arranged." It just so happened that Calamus came over, and she reached out to pull her, "I heard that yesterday the emperor accompanied his sister to the Taimiao Temple to pray for blessings, and today he has a big belly and has to preside over the selection of internal attendants, so it's really hard for my sister to toss like this." ”

Calamus sat down in her position: "Sister is bothered, the concubine doesn't feel tired about this matter." ”

"Look at this belly, maybe it's a prince," Su Ruyuan looked very expectant, "When did the imperial doctor say when he gave birth?" ”

"Yes, I said it was at the end of July and the beginning of August."

"It was a hot panic."

"yes."

The two of them were talking, laughing and chatting, but everyone was paying attention to Ruorong and Gu Lan below.

When the incense was halfway burned, Ruorong had already changed a piece of paper, and looked at Gu Lan from a distance to write a piece, and everyone exchanged glances.

Seeing that the incense was about to burn out, Ruorong changed another piece of paper, and Gu Lan was still writing the first piece of paper, and the people around her couldn't help but sweat for her.

The inner supervisor watched the last drop of incense ash burn out and said, "It's time." ”

Sun Wen, Su Ruyuan, and Calamus got up to watch.

Ruorong's characters are in square letters, detailing three hundred and nine matters in three years.

Looking at Gu Lan again, the expressions of several people changed slightly: "This is ......"

Gu Lan looked up at the calamus, and then lowered his head: "The slave and maid used a disc to record the events of the past three years. ”

Calamus approvingly: "Each disc represents a year, and the circle in the disc represents the month, and the size of the circle is written down around the circle in small letters with a small head, in a special and concise way." What do the emperor and the queen think? ”

Sun Wen laughed: "I can't say this well, it depends on who records more." ”

Calamus also said: "Naturally, whoever records more will win." ”

The inner supervisor counted: "Aunt Gulan has recorded a total of 348 matters. ”

Su Ruyuan's expression had darkened, and he turned around and sat down again.

I only heard Calamus smile and say: "In the first game, Aunt Gulan won." ”

Gu Lan bowed: "Thank you, Lord Long." ”

Calamus whispered, "Guran, it seems that I am not mistaken about you. ”

The second competition was embroidery, which was also a specialty that the chamberlain had to master.

In the past few days, Calamus has not forgotten to teach the needlework and know-how of Gulan Su embroidery, Gulan is a smart person, and he will be clever in his heart.

Therefore, for this one, Calamus is very confident that Gulan can win.

She took a cup of tea and drank it, and was snatched by Sun Wen after taking a sip: "What are you doing to drink my tea?" ”

Only then did Irisa realize that she had taken the wrong teacup, and blushed slightly: "The concubine is clumsy, and she is wrong." ”

Sun Wen took it to her from the side: "This is yours." ”

Lifting the lid of the tea and smelling the aroma of red dates, it turned out that he had ordered someone to change the tea at some point. Looking at his expression, it looks like he's fine.

There is a strange, indescribable feeling haunting the iris.

"Ahh I only heard Gulan scream.

Calamus looked up and saw her panicked expression: "What's wrong?" ”

Gu Lan shuddered: "Slave maid...... The slave and maid prepared silk threads. ”

Calamus was also startled, stood up from her position and walked over, and asked in a low voice: "I have prepared all the needles and threads for you, how can there be less?" ”

Gu Lan turned around and looked around: "The slaves and maids have seen it, and the red line is missing." Mother, can you give more to the slave? ”

Seeing Ruorong bowing her head and embroidering, Calamus said quietly: "The needles and threads are all ready, and the palace can't help you without it." ”

"This ......"

Ruorong on the side raised his head when he heard this: "Gulan, can I give you my thread?" ”

Gulan looked at her: "It's you, right?" ”

"What do you mean by that? I don't understand. ”

Gu Lan was extremely angry, and was pulled by Calamus: "Don't make trouble at this juncture." ”

"But this embroidery."

Calamus took a deep breath: "There's the next one." You prepare well. She turned back to her seat.

Su Ruyuan deliberately asked, "Sister, what's wrong with Gulan?" ”

"I heard that there was a lack of embroidery thread of one color, so I asked the concubine for it, and the concubine said that she couldn't give it."

"My sister is really fair and strict."

"The queen mother praised it falsely, and the concubines did things with their hearts."

They don't change their faces about the lies, and their hearts don't beat.

Gu Lan watched Ruorong win this competition, and after announcing the results, Ruorong joked: "Do you think that with Concubine An's help, you can win steadily?" In the Inner Service Bureau, it is based on strength. ”

Gu Lan asked rhetorically: "Do you think that in the embroidery competition, you won me by strength?" ”

"Gulan, this time, in addition to our strength, it also depends on who is stronger than the master behind us." Ruorong glanced at it, "Concubine An is a person with means, but will the queen sit still?" The Su family's power in the court, even the emperor has to respect them a little. ”

Gu Lan smiled slightly: "Do you think the emperor will like a powerful family?" ”

Ruorong was stunned.

At this time, Calamus said on it: "The last one is not so much a competition as an investigation. The palace has asked the emperor to order several personnel from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to thoroughly inspect the bedrooms of Ruorong and Gulan, and to collect their clothes and accounts...... As carefully examined, as a lady-in-waiting, she must be fair and honest, and this palace hopes that there will be nothing 'unclean' in the two rooms. ”

Su Ruyuan immediately realized that the situation was not good, and stood up from his seat suddenly: "How can this work?" ”

"As an internal officer, you should be fair and honest, so what's wrong with a thorough investigation of the two of them's bedrooms?" Sun Wen turned his head and asked Su Ruyuan, "Does the queen think this is inappropriate?" ”

Su Ruyuan glanced at Calamus with her spare eyes: "The concubine thinks there is nothing wrong with thoroughly inspecting the bedroom, but if someone deliberately does something in Ruorong and Gulan's bedroom...... It's not very good. ”

"This time the competition was presided over by Concubine An, and she refused to tell me about the content of the competition before, which shows that she is still very fair and strict in dealing with people."

Su Ruyuan bowed: "The concubine can naturally trust Concubine An, but I'm afraid that some people can't believe it." The emperor should know that since ancient times, there have been countless mysteries in the harem. ”

"This ......," Sun Wen muttered, "what the queen said is reasonable. ”

Calamus said behind him: "Forgive the concubine bold, although this is a matter of the harem, but today's thorough investigation of Ruorong and Gulan's bedrooms is specially assigned by the Internal Affairs Office, and the concubine thinks it should be no big deal." ”

Su Ruyuan reminded her: "Sister, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case." ”

Calamus smiled faintly: "Concubine ......"

"Why don't the queen suggest the content of the last competition?" Sun Wen suddenly said and blocked back the words that Calamus hadn't finished.

Su Ruyuan herself was also shocked: "The emperor asked the concubines to determine the content of the written test?" ”

Sun Wen and Yan Yuese: "The Inner Chamberlain Bureau plays a pivotal role in the harem, and you are the master of the harem, you should also have a decision on how to elect the Inner Chamberlain." ”

Su Ruyuan gestured to the calamus with his eyes: "This ...... Not really. ”

Sun Wen glanced back: "Concubine An shouldn't mind." ”

Calamus calmly bowed slightly: "The concubine thinks that the emperor's proposal is very good. ”

With Sun Wen's support, Su Ruyuan's identity is equivalent to being affirmed, she thought about it: "My sister just said that they are fair and honest, and this palace thinks it's good, since the method of thoroughly inspecting the bedroom is not feasible, it is better to ...... Just gather all the people in the Inner Chamberlain Bureau and let them decide who will be the inner chamberlain, okay? ”

Sun Wen asked Calamus: "What does Concubine An think?" ”

Calamus ignored him: "Who will be the inner servant, the people in the Inner Servant Bureau know best, and the concubine thinks this proposal is good." ”

Su Ruyuan turned around and ordered: "Gather everyone together." ”

While she was not paying attention, Sun Wen's hand to pull the iris was blocked by her.

At this time, Su Ruyuan turned around and asked, "Sister, who do you like to take over as the maid officer?" ”

"It's okay for anyone to be in charge, as long as the work of the Internal Service Bureau can be properly arranged."

Having said that, Calamus already understood in her heart that Sun Wen said that saying that sentence was tantamount to acquiescing in the candidate in Su Ruyuan's heart.

She was very lost, extremely lost.

At the instigation of Su Ruyuan, most of the people in the Inner Service Bureau expressed their support for Ruorong.

Naturally, the Guran was defeated.

There's no room for turnaround.

When Calamus handed over the seal of the chamberlain, Ruorong couldn't help but smile a touch of victory: "Presumably, this result is greatly beyond Concubine An's expectations." ”

"As far as this palace is concerned, no matter who is the maid of the house, it is okay."

Ruorong snorted lightly: "That being said, if it wasn't for the emperor's full support for the queen mother just now, I'm afraid that the person who took over the seal would not be a slave." ”

Calamus smiled faintly and did not speak again. Turning her head again, she saw Su Ruyuan holding Yan'er and Sun Wen talking and laughing, and that scene made her heart tingle.

She walked back to her position, and Ping'er willingly put a cloak on her: "It's windy, Niangniang go back early, right?" ”

Calamus nodded, and owed to Sun Wen and Su Ruyuan: "The matter of the inner servant has been decided, and the concubine should also go back." ”

Su Ruyuan smiled: "It's really hard work for a sister today." ”

She lowered her head: "The concubine is not hard. ”

Sun Wen: "You are physically inconvenient, I will send you back." ”

Without waiting for Calamus to speak, Su Ruyuan continued: "Yes, my sister is pregnant, let the emperor send her back to the East Palace." ”

Walking out of the Inner Service Bureau, Long Yuan was carried up, and Sun Wen said to Calamus: "The journey to the East Palace is not short, ...... with me" Before he finished speaking, Calamus had already walked away.

He hurriedly chased after her and took her hand: "Calamus, you heard me, this matter ......"

"You have a hard time, the concubine has to understand you!" Calamus shook off his hand fiercely and looked at him, "In that case, why did you let the concubine be solely responsible for the election of the maid in the first place?" ”

"Queen, she ......"

Calamus pointed to the gate of the Inner Chamberlain: "Yes! She's the queen! She gave birth to Yan'er! And the concubine is nothing but your captive, and even the child in the womb is destined to be abnormal! ”

"That's not how it ......"

Calamus sneered and asked, "So what's going on?" After going around in such a big circle, doesn't the emperor just want to become the queen in this matter? A concubine is simply a chess piece! She tried her best to keep calm, but tears were already wet on her cheeks, "For the sake of the child, I thought you would be a little merciful, but the result is that the concubine is whimsical, and you will never do anything." ”

Sun Wen stiffly held her shoulder: "I can only protect the people I want to protect by unscrupulous means." ”

"The only person you want to save is yourself."

"Why don't you believe me?"

"Because you're not Sun Qi!"

"You have a hard time, the concubine has to understand you!" Calamus shook off his hand fiercely and looked at him, "In that case, why did you let the concubine be solely responsible for the election of the maid in the first place?" ”

"Queen, she ......"

Calamus pointed to the gate of the Inner Chamberlain: "Yes! She's the queen! She gave birth to Yan'er! And the concubine is nothing but your captive, and even the child in the womb is destined to be abnormal! ”

"That's not how it ......"

Calamus sneered and asked, "So what's going on?" After going around in such a big circle, doesn't the emperor just want to become the queen in this matter? A concubine is simply a chess piece! She tried her best to keep calm, but tears were already wet on her cheeks, "For the sake of the child, I thought you would be a little merciful, but the result is that the concubine is whimsical, and you will never do anything." ”

Sun Wen stiffly held her shoulder: "I can only protect the people I want to protect by unscrupulous means." ”

"The only person you want to save is yourself."

"Why don't you believe me?"

"Because you're not Sun Qi!"

Sun Wen's hand suddenly let go, he looked at Calamus in a daze, and smiled for a long time: "I'm not Sun Qi, a defeated subordinate who survives by relying on women, and he deserves to be compared with me?" ”

He was ruthless to insult Sun Qi.

Calamus said with tears in her eyes: "Yes, he is a defeated soldier, but he deserves to make me willing to pay for him......"

"Smack!" Sun Wen couldn't control and slapped her in the face.

This loud voice even frightened the minions around him, and Fu Rongbao snorted: "Your Majesty ......"

Sun Wen himself was also caught off guard and looked at the calamus.

She approached step by step: "This slap is too light," she took his hand against her neck, "You should strangle or execute the concubine at once, from the day you get me, don't you look forward to solving me with your own hands?" ”

Sun Wen pulled out his hand and turned around: "No matter what I do, you hate me." ”

It was only now that he really understood that no matter how much he considered, how much he paid, and how deeply he used, he would never get her heart.

Calamus said softly behind him: "You know in your heart who is behind the use of Baihuasan, but you don't care about it or even think about it, so why don't you simply order a bowl of abortion pills?" As long as you give it, the concubine will definitely drink it. ”

The wind ruffled her hair, and her face was desolate.
