243 Fall from grace
Si Yue left the Fuliu Hall angrily, and successively went to see Wei Guiren and Zhao Guiren, and the news spread throughout the harem in the blink of an eye, this Chunyan and Xia Yan were surrounding Lin Su and whispering comfort, and the other palaces also had different reactions. Whether those people are gloating or watching from the sidelines, they can't hide a fact.
That is, they all feel that Lin Su is about to fall out of favor.
"I didn't expect that she, who has always been cautious, would have such a day." Zhou Shuxian was one of the first people to get the news, and at this moment she was sitting idly on a chair outside, holding a teacup in her hand with a smile on her face, "Such a thing that angers the emperor, even the palace does not dare to do it." She is still pampered and spoiled, and has forgotten her duty. β
"Mother, this is a good opportunity." Lan Rui on the side stood aside with a snack in her hand and glanced at the other people in the room casually. Those palace maids and eunuchs immediately bowed and retreated, and Lan Rui walked to Zhou Shuxian's side and said in a low voice: "If the slave maid says something that should not be said, in this harem, the only one who can compete with Niangniang is this virtuous concubine." Now, Concubine Xian has been rejected by the emperor, if the mother is willing to be gentle in front of the emperor, the emperor will definitely remember the good of the mother. When the time comes, Concubine Xian's bowels of remorse will definitely be blue. β
Zhou Shuxian pinched a piece of the snack on the plate, took a bite, and chewed it slowly. Lan Rui stood aside, looking at her face, feeling faintly uneasy. I am afraid that my master will give up competing for favor because of discouragement.
"Niangniang......" She still wanted to persuade again, but she heard Zhou Shuxian say: "Okay, I'm tired too, you go down first." Let this palace be alone and think about what to do. β
Hearing Zhou Shuxian say this, Lan Rui couldn't either, so she had to put the dim sum aside and retreat.
When she went out, Zhou Shuxian sighed at the hollow in the room.
How could she not know that this was a great opportunity? It's just the Queen Mother...... Now she is no longer as naΓ―ve as she was when she first married Si Yue, and she really thought that her aunt chose herself to be Si Yue's wife because she liked her.
It's just because the Lan family doesn't have a daughter. Now, the blue heart ...... Isn't it that the Lan family thinks that the emperor is a fool, and everyone in this harem is a fool? That surname alone makes people wary. What's more, even she can find out what happened back then, let alone Si Yue, who is the Ninth Five-Year Honor.
Could it be that they really thought that the daughter of the Lan family would be favored by Si Yue, who was the emperor?
Just for the surname she carried, Si Yue wouldn't really like Lan Xin. After all these years, she finally understood this. It's a pity that it was too late to understand. Even, she is not even as good as that blue heart. After all, Lan Xinming's identity on the face is nothing more than the sister of a sesame petty official. And she is a chess piece placed on the bright side by the Lan family, and her every move will be marked by the Lan family.
Even if she wants to, what can she do, even if she doesn't want to, what can she do? Her fate was never in her own hands...... Zhou Shuxian smiled softly, remembering Lan Rui's words before, her eyes slowly regained their brightness. Perhaps, this is really an opportunity. If she can be completely attached to Si Yue, she may be able to get rid of the Lan family.
Now, there are two queen mothers in the harem, and it is no longer the time for Queen Mother Lan to cover the sky with one hand......
Thinking of this, Zhou Shuxian stood up abruptly and shouted outside.
"Lan Rui!"
Lan Rui came in in response, saluted, and quietly waited for Zhou Shuxian's orders.
"Go and prepare something, don't make a taboo, and accompany the palace to see Zhao Guiren." Zhou Shuxian calmly ordered, but Lan Rui hesitated for a moment, and then reminded her in a low voice: "Niangniang, the emperor went to Wei Guiren's side, and he went to Zhao Guiren's place at this time...... "Did you go to the wrong place?"
Zhou Shuxian smiled, raised her chin and said, "You hurry up and order, come and freshen up for the palace and change into clothes." Don't dress up so eye-catching, just look haggard. β
"Haggard ......" Lan Rui didn't understand it even more, but looking at Zhou Shuxian's appearance, it didn't look like a broken jar, but a kind of fighting spirit, so she nodded and answered, went out and ordered the little eunuch outside to go to the warehouse to get something, and then came back to help Zhou Shuxian dress up.
Zhou Shuxian looked at her reflection in the mirror, she was indeed a little haggard, her face was white without a trace of blood, and her lips were faintly pale.
"Niangniang looks like this, it looks like ......" Lan Rui hesitated for a moment, and finally did not say Lin Su's name. just looked at Zhou Shuxian with some uneasiness. Zhou Shuxian smiled faintly, and whispered indifferently: "It's like a virtuous concubine, right?" I finally understood why the emperor was always soft-hearted to her, but she was just so weak. In the past, I was too stupid, I always thought that I was the emperor's wife, the head of the six palaces, even if I was injured, I had to be strong, which pushed the emperor far away. Now that she is carried away, this palace should take the previous events as a lesson from the past......"
Lin Su was not dressed haggard at this time, but after crying happily, he called Xia Yan and Chunyan to come in, accompanied her to change into bright red clothes, with bright purple accessories, and curled all her hair, leaving only a trace of broken hair. Painting green daisy in the mirror, dotting red lips, the whole person is different from the low-key and elegant outfit in the usual day, and it is full of gorgeousness.
At this time, even if she is standing with a naturally beautiful woman like Wei Tiantian, she is not inferior.
Chunyan on the side looked at Lin Su like this, but her heart was even more uneasy. She whispered behind Lin Su: "Master, if you are unhappy, scold the slave and beat the slave and maid, right?" Why bother yourself? β
"I'm not happy about anything." Lin Su turned his head and showed a bright smile, which was also very different from the subtle appearance in his usual days. Chunyan, who watched it, only felt that her nose was calculated and wanted to cry. Xia Yan on the side saw it, and hurriedly pulled her, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "If the master is interested, it is better to go to the garden behind the Fuliu Palace, when the slave maid passed by this morning, she saw a large number of spring flowers blooming, and Huang Yanyan made people like it when they looked at it." β
"It's fine." Lin Su pursed his lips and smiled, even his eyes were extraordinarily bright, "By the way, go and invite Concubine Lan, don't live up to this great spring." β
For many days after that, Lin Su changed into all kinds of bright clothes, and his outfit was particularly eye-catching. However, Si Yue seems to be really disgusted with her, except for the occasional time when he asks the Queen Mother for peace, Lin Su has seen Si Yue with most of the women in the palace, on weekdays, Si Yue has never been to Fuliu Hall again. Even if he thought about the little prince and the little princess, he asked people to go to the Fuliu Hall and bring it to him to show him.
All of a sudden, the rumors in the harem were even more popular, and in the end, even Lin Su heard someone say that the reason why the emperor was disgusted with her was because he suspected that Zhao and Wei were the two nobles who had an accident and that she was behind the trouble.
