Chapter Twenty-Six: A Temporary Tranquility
The sky gradually darkened, Luofu picked up the lights, and the lights were on, and the maids of each division were busy. It was dinner time, Ruan Yuheng came back with Luo Qingyun, and the housekeeper didn't dare to stop him anymore, so he hurriedly bowed down and invited in to take the reins.
Luo Haoxuan hurried to the main hall after eating half of the meal, and heard that it was Lord Ruan next to the emperor who came, and Mrs. Luo and Shen did not dare to slack off together, Shen took Luo Qingrong and whispered: "When you see Lord Ruan later, you must leave a good impression with a sweet mouth, you know?" If you enter the palace, you can ask Lord Ruan to say a word for you, then you will have a little more chance in front of the emperor! ”
Old Mrs. Luo sighed and added: "Your father has been an official for half his life, and there is no way to give gifts to Lord Ruan for this matter, but today Lord Ruan can actually control Luo Mansion, you must not seize such an opportunity!" ”
"That's right, make sure Lord Ruan remembers you!" Shen put a strand of her hair behind her ear and smiled with satisfaction: "My daughter is so good-looking, especially wearing this dress!" I'm sure to make a good impression on him! ”
Seeing that they value it so much, Luo Haoxuan was still uneasy in his heart, he ordered him not to mention it to outsiders about today's matter, at noon, Ruan Yuheng took Luo Qingyun away, and the emperor actually dressed up as a guard and followed aside, I don't know if this Luo Qingyun did something abrupt, he walked briskly and uneasily.
In the main hall, Ruan Yuheng arranged for Luo Qingyun to return to the other garden, and he looked around alone, but he didn't expect that the small Luo Mansion was so golden and brilliant inside, it was really staggering.
"Lord Ruan, the petty official has lost his welcome, please forgive me!" Luo Haoxuan immediately saluted as soon as he came, very respectful, and was really relieved to see that the emperor was not there.
Old Lady Luo also saluted, and Shen Shi hurriedly said: "Rong'er, this is Lord Ruan, don't hurry up and see you!" ”
Luo Qingrong stepped forward, performed the woman's salute very decently, and said softly: "Little girl Luo Qingrong, I've seen an adult!" ”
Ruan Yuheng raised his eyes and glanced at her, this woman is really indescribable, far worse than Luo Qingyun's little girl, he smiled coldly, and bowed his head to sign.
Luo Haoxuan hurriedly said: "My lord, you haven't eaten dinner yet, if you don't dislike it, the lower official will order someone to prepare a few good dishes, you can take a moment here!" ”
Ruan Yuheng waved his hand: "No need, thank you Lord Luo for your kindness, this official will enter the palace later, and I have something to face the emperor!" ”
Luo Qingrong raised his eyes and glanced at him secretly, but this Lord Ruan Yushu was in the wind, but he did not lose his heroic spirit. Just now he said that he wanted to enter the palace and see the emperor himself. He is really not ordinary, I heard that many low-ranking little lords in the palace have not been able to see the emperor for several years in the palace, and even heard that those unfavored concubines will be beaten into the cold palace, and they will be lonely every year, every time she thinks of this, she always can't help but shudder, if she can leave a good impression on Lord Ruan, Lord Ruan will definitely be able to speak in front of the emperor in the future.
He glanced at them, smiled flatteringly, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Today, this official has something to ask Master Luo, and please avoid it for the time being!" ”
As soon as he said this, Luo Haoxuan was a little uneasy, but he didn't dare to delay and hurriedly ordered them to retreat. Suddenly, he saw Ruan Yuheng sighing and laughing: "Today's matter, Lord Luo must be puzzled, why I and my master are here!" Is that right? He raised his eyes, and the bottom of his eyes was dark and bottomless.
Luo Haoxuan said: "The lower officials don't dare to speculate! ”
I saw Ruan Yuheng smile coldly: "The master is also surprised, why can your Luo Haoxuan's concubine also enter the palace?" This matter can spread all over the capital overnight, and naturally it can also reach the ears of the master! ”
Luo Haoxuan pursed his lips, a little flustered, he felt comfortable, and replied: "When this holy decree was issued, the lower officials only felt that the emperor's grace was mighty, so blessed, the lower officials did not expect it!" ”
"Really?" He glanced at him suspiciously: "Today, I see that Lord Luo's other garden has received a lot of gifts!" ”
Luo Haoxuan's face turned pale, he bowed and saluted, and hurriedly said: "Lord Ruan is aware that those are not the gifts received by the officials, but the ......" He was speechless for a while, and he couldn't say that this was a gift that the Shen family had arranged to give to other adults, right?
Ruan Yuheng suddenly smiled: "Don't panic, my lord, the master doesn't plan to pursue this matter!" However, this Luofu must have done a good job in the draft, otherwise why would the two daughters be able to enter the palace? ”
Luo Haoxuan didn't dare to say more, and squeezed out a smile in embarrassment, although he did it, it was also for Luo Qingrong, as for why Luo Qingyun was able to enter the palace, he still didn't know.
Ruan Yuheng continued: "After the emperor found out about this, he was also surprised! But the draft, from the primary election to the present, the number of people who have handled it is innumerable, from the household department to the Ministry of Rites, who can talk and can intervene, which one added this money, there is no way to verify! But what about the master, it is rare to have leisure today, and if you want to go out of the palace, you will come to Luofu, and you just happened to come to see who the second lady of the Luo family is! He pursed his lips and smiled: "Sure enough, the second lady of the Luo family did not disappoint the master, she is virtuous and virtuous, and she is very liked by the master, no, this is the order of the official to pass the word, before entering the palace in spring and February, she will stay in Luo Mansion for a while, and please, Lord Luo must take care of her!" ”
Luo Haoxuan didn't expect that Luo Qingyun's blessings were not shallow, and he could win the emperor's favor. He digested these words for a while, and said excitedly: "Xia Guan understands that he will take care of the little girl, and please rest assured that the master." Today, Lord Lao Fu Nguyen is here in person! ”
Ruan Yuheng straightened up, and unintentionally caught a glimpse of a dark shadow behind the wall, and the corners of his mouth hooked up disdainfully: "The official still has something to do, Master Luo doesn't have to send it!" ”
"Lord Ruan is polite, the lower official must send you in person!"
Ruan Yuheng's fingers were slender and very beautiful, a smile flashed across his face, pointing to the corner of the wall, and his tone was very mocking: "Is it possible to eavesdrop on other people's speeches according to the rules of Luofu?" If Lord Luo is free, let's rectify the family style, you don't have to send me!! ”
After saying that, Luo Haoxuan looked there embarrassedly, and Ruan Yuheng left without looking back. Luo Haoxuan was very angry, and quickly dragged the person out, this person was none other than the Shen family!
Shen knelt on the ground in fright, not daring to raise his head. Luo Haoxuan was furious, and slapped him in the face: "Slut, what do you want to know hiding here?" actually let Lord Ruan see the jokes of the Luo family! ”
"Master, the concubine is wrong!" Shen covered his face and hurriedly replied, Luo Haoxuan was relieved and reprimanded: "If this happens again, I will definitely serve the family law!" Get lost! ”
Shen got up and was about to leave, Luo Haoxuan was stunned, and said, "Wait, since you heard it just now, you also know what to do in the mansion these days!" Put away those tricks, I didn't say much to you with my mother before, but now if I find out that you are not right, this Luofu will make you live very uncomfortable! ”
"Yes!" Shen replied with her back to him and gritted her teeth, she clenched her fists, her fingertips embedded in her palms. Luo Qingyun, you fox charmer, you can actually have the ability to seduce the emperor, you can't do anything to you these days in Luofu, but when you enter the palace, even if you spend a lot of money, you will definitely be worse off than dead!
