At this moment, Shen Yuechen wanted to say too much. It's just that those words that were originally about to be said, but the moment they saw Ruan Linluo again, they suddenly disappeared without a trace.

It's not that I'm nervous, but I feel powerless and redundant.

Her current appearance, her current momentum, her current status, and her current eyes have all been clearly and clearly placed in front of her, and there is no need for any words to express and explain.

Between her eyebrows and eyes, she has long lost the youth she once had, and now, her smile is full of elegance, charming and charming.

Ruan Linluo continued to smile softly and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to be so restrained, you are more comfortable, and this palace can be more comfortable." ”

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she suddenly felt something strange in her heart, and then raised her head to look at her, only to see that her dark eyes were looking at her thoughtfully. Shen Yuechen also looked back at her, and once again sighed in her heart, she was really a beauty. At this moment, the gorgeous clothes and accessories highlight her stunning posture even more.

Zhu Yuanlan has often visited her daughter in the palace recently, but the more she comes, the more estranged she feels from her daughter. Now she will no longer fly into her arms like a cheerful butterfly like before, nor will she be next to her side like in the past, holding her arms and talking coquettishly.

Although, Zhu Yuanlan had already prepared in her heart, her daughter was already the imperial concubine, so naturally she could not be the same as before. But...... She didn't expect her to change so quickly, in less than half a year, she was completely new, elegant and decent, and she didn't see the innocence of the past. It's just that no matter what she becomes, she will always be her baby daughter, the most distressed child in her life.

Zhu Yuanlan looked at Ruan Linluo, then at Shen Yuechen, and slowly got up and said: "Niangniang, the concubine heard that the Queen Mother has been sick recently, and the concubine specially ordered someone to prepare two wild ginseng, and wanted to give them to the Queen Mother in person. ”

Zhu Yuanlan did not forget to visit the Queen Mother every time she entered the palace, Ruan Linluo was able to enter the palace as a concubine, all by relying on the words of the Queen Mother, and Ruan Linluo was able to be promoted to the concubine position so quickly, and the credit of the Queen Mother was not small, so Zhu Yuanlan has always been grateful to her old man.

When Ruan Linluo heard this, she nodded with a smile: "Well, my mother is really thoughtful, the Queen Mother is not feeling good now, and she is lying in bed all day, when she is really bored, her mother used to talk to her old man and chat." ”

Zhu Yuanlan bowed slightly: "Yes, the concubine knows." After speaking, she turned to look at Shen Yuechen again, "You stay here and talk to Niangniang first, and I'll go back when I go." ”

Shen Yuechen got up to see her off, and when she was far away, she turned to look at Ruan Linluo, her eyes flashed slightly, and she was surprised to find that the original beautiful and soft smile on her face disappeared in an instant, and her complexion returned to calm.

Shen Yuechen was a little puzzled, but after all, she didn't ask too many questions. However, in the next second, Ruan Linluo spoke again: "Sister-in-law is entering the palace for the first time, do you want to go to the imperial garden with the palace, the scenery there is as beautiful as a dream, it is really rare in the world." ”

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she hurriedly saluted and responded: "The women are grateful, thank you for your grace." ”

The imperial garden is a place where the concubines of the Son of Heaven can play and walk, and she can actually have the opportunity to go in and walk, which can be regarded as a blessing for three lives.

Ruan Linluo took Shen Yuechen and a group of palace maids and eunuchs, and slowly moved to the imperial garden.

Because Ruan Linluo likes flowers and plants very much, Li Zheng kindly allowed her to live in the Shuiyue Palace, which is closest to the Imperial Garden, so that she can usually relax and play, enjoy the scenery and flowers.

Along the way, Shen Yuechen followed Ruan Linluo step by step.

According to her identity, of course, she is not qualified to walk side by side with her.

After entering the Gongyue Gate, Ruan Linluo slowed down slightly, took the initiative to turn around and beckon, and motioned for Shen Yuechen to come over and said, "Come and walk with the palace." Look, isn't the scenery beautiful? ”

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she hurriedly raised her head and looked around, walked to her side, gently held her outstretched hand, and replied with a smile: "The Royal Garden, heaven and earth, nature is the most beautiful. Today, thanks to the mother's blessing, the women can also have the honor to open their eyes. ”

Ruan Linluo put her hand on her arm and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is still so eloquent. After speaking, the two of them walked side by side on the bluestone road full of flowers on both sides, while the palace maid and eunuch behind them lowered their eyes slightly, bowed and took two steps back, not far away, not far away, so that they could come forward to serve anytime and anywhere, and would not disturb the two of them talking.

The garden is full of purple and red, the fragrance of flowers is fragrant, and when you are in it, you are like being in a sea of colorful flowers, accompanied by bursts of floral fragrance, and your heart is rippling.

Ruan Linluo and Shen Yuechen walked silently for a while, and then came to a small pavilion to sit down and rest, although the pavilion is small, it has everything, the mahogany seats of one color, the cups and dishes inlaid with gold and jade, all exquisite.

Ruan Linluo and Shen Yuechen were admiring the flowers and tasting tea at the same time, Ruan Linluo couldn't help but sigh for a while, took a sip of tea, and said with a faint smile: "This situation and this scene really make the palace feel nostalgic." Sister-in-law still remembers that at the end of last summer, Hongu and you also enjoyed flowers and tea together so leisurely. ”

When Shen Yuechen saw her mention the past, her heart moved slightly, and she only smiled and said: "Yes, at that time, the mother and the woman were still new acquaintances......

At that time, Ruan Linluo, although not as jeweled as now, was beautiful and refined.

Shen Yuechen still remembers it vividly, she always has bright autumn eyes with a smile, and her favorite hairpin, her hair bun is always fragrant, and she looks more delicate than flowers.

However, before she finished her words, Ruan Linluo suddenly interrupted softly: "I haven't seen you for half a year, this palace has changed a lot, right?" ”

When she said this, her tone was slightly melancholy.

Shen Yuechen sighed secretly in his heart, didn't speak, just nodded heavily.

The past kept coming to Ruan Linluo's mind, and she couldn't have imagined that she would become what she is today, let alone Shen Yuechen. "yes, even Hongu himself didn't expect that I would become like this......"

The words she said inadvertently made Shen Yuechen's heart begin to feel uncomfortable.

Shen Yuechen couldn't help but blurt out, "Niangniang, are you doing well?" ”

Such a question was really rude, but Shen Yuechen still wanted to hear her answer with her own ears.

Ruan Linluo was slightly stunned, then hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled: "This is the palace, how can this palace be bad?" ”

Shen Yuechen saw that her smile was mixed with a hint of bitterness, lowered her eyes slightly, and did not speak.

Ruan Linluo then looked up at the palace maid on the opposite side, gave them a look, and motioned for them to retreat further.

Shen Yuechen saw that they had all retreated, looked at Ruan Linluo, and said softly: "Does Niangniang have something to say to the people's women?" ”

Ruan Linluo nodded lightly: "There are too many people to speak, it's inconvenient to talk, you are entering the palace for the first time, there is no need to be monitored by them like this." ”

Surveillance? Shen Yuechen suddenly became a little alert: "Aren't those palace people all people around Niangniang?" ”

Ruan Linluo smiled: "In this palace, there is only one real master, and that is the emperor." ”

There was an indescribable expression in her expression when she said this, as if she was helpless.

Shen Yuechen smiled comfortingly at her, "The body of the mother's daughter, naturally you need to take more care of it." ”

After saying this, even she felt a little hypocritical.

Ruan Linluo groaned slightly: "This palace just wants to say a few intimate words to my sister-in-law today, those hypocritical polite words, let's leave them to others, and I hope that my sister-in-law can treat me like before......"

The reason why Ruan Linluo likes Shen Yuechen is because of her kindness and naturalness.

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she nodded with feeling, took the initiative to reach out and gently held her hand, but found that her palm was cold, colder than her own hand. "Why are my mother's hands cold? But feel cold? ”

Ruan Linluo shook her head and said, "I'm not cold, sister-in-law, don't worry." ”

Shen Yuechen saw that she suddenly called herself "I" instead of "Niangniang", raised her eyes and looked around, and only said: "Niangniang calls herself like this, I'm afraid it's not in accordance with the rules, so it's better to be careful, lest the wall have ears." ”

Ruan Linluo said lightly: "Today, it's rare for us to get together to talk and laugh, why don't you care about those torturous rules?" Sister-in-law, don't worry, you are not from the Ruan family, they will not be so concerned. ”

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she really didn't know whether to be relieved or helpless, thinking about it, when Zhu Yuanlan was still in the hall, Ruan Linluo deliberately kept silent, afraid that she was worried that the wall had ears.

Thinking of their mother and daughter's pretending to be cold and ordinary, Shen Yuechen couldn't help but sigh softly: "Niangniang, you are tired, there are many people in this palace, and there is no one by your side who is ......."

Ruan Linluo held her hand back, her eyes flashed, "It's rare for you to come here, let's not say these sad words, tell me about Texas, right?" ”

Shen Yuechen knew that she was worried about that, so she was busy sorting out her thoughts and telling her about the recent situation of the Zhu family.

Ruan Linluo listened very carefully and was very happy, and when she heard that everyone in the family was good, she couldn't help but be pleased: "The health of the two ancestors is your greatest blessing. After my sister-in-law went back, she brought a message to the two old people for me, and said that Linluo had always remembered them in her heart...... I hope that the two elders will take care of their health and must live a long life......"

Shen Yuechen saw that after she said it, she choked up a little, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Niangniang, I will definitely bring the words." Please also ask the mother to take care of your precious body, don't worry about it, and take good care of yourself. ”

Ruan Linluo's eyes were glistening with tears, her red lips were moving, and she said, "I know that in the huge palace, the only person I can rely on is myself......

Shen Yuechen tightened her hand, and couldn't bear to see her crying, "Blessed people don't fall into the unblessed land." Niangniang is now in full bloom, and once she gives birth to the imperial heir, she is the most suitable candidate for the throne. ”

Ruan Linluo looked slightly surprised when she heard this. She thought that according to Shen Yuechen's usual temperament, she would definitely be a woman without ambition, but she didn't expect that she would also want to become the queen.

Shen Yuechen saw the change in the expression on her face, and simply said what she thought in her heart and said, "Niangniang was originally ordered by the phoenix to enter the palace to accompany her. Since it is the life of the phoenix, Niangniang was born to be the queen's daughter, so Niangniang must become the queen, not only for the Ruan family, but also for Niangniang herself. ”

Although she doesn't know much about the changes in the court, she is mean-hearted, and only by standing on a high place can she not be bullied at will. Especially in the big dye vat of the harem, everyone is born into a famous family, everyone has a backer, if you can't become a queen, you will be trampled under your feet for a lifetime.

In other words, whether Ruan Linluo wants to be happy or not, she has already entered the palace and has become the emperor's woman, and the only thing she can do in the future is to climb up desperately.

In fact, Ruan Linluo also thought so in her heart. "Entering the palace is a point of no return, I am already on the road, naturally there is no turning back."

Shen Yuechen continued: "A companion is like a tiger. Niangniang is being favored right now, and there must be a lot of people who want to come next to her, and it's always good to be careful in everything. ”

Ruan Linluo's eyes flashed a shadow, and said, "I have already learned what their methods are. It's not difficult to deal with them, it's just an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. ”

Give somebody a taste of his own medicine. Ruan Linluo will never deliberately harm others, she has her bottom line, only those who cross the line are enemies. Moreover, the Queen Mother is also her backing, and many times, without waiting for her to do anything, the Queen Mother has already helped her clean up in advance.

Shen Yuechen said again: "People who are full of bad ideas will only get worse and worse, and will not get better." So the mother has to be careful. ”

She is only sixteen years old this year, and Shen Yuechen can imagine that she is young and bears such a heavy burden and responsibility, and it is not easy to face the wind and rain alone in this deep palace and struggle to win.

Shen Yuechen finally made up her mind and asked the question she had always wanted to ask.

"Mother, let me ask a very disrespectful question...... Is the emperor treating his mother well? ”

Although everyone in the capital knows that Concubine Jing is the most favored concubine of the emperor today, she still wants to hear Ruan Linluo say a word in person to feel at ease.

When Ruan Linluo heard this, she was silent for a long time, and then she raised her eyebrows slightly, opened her lips lightly, and said with a slight smile: "Didn't sister-in-law say it?" I am now in full bloom, so you can see how much the emperor loves me? ”

Seeing that her answer was vague, Shen Yuechen squeezed her hand a little harder, and asked again: "Is the emperor really good at treating his mother?" ”

Ruan Linluo raised her head and said with a bright gaze: "Well, the emperor is very good to me." As long as I want something, he is willing to give it to me. ”

Her answer was simple, but honest.

Li Zheng treats her well, not as an ordinary husband and wife, but as a gentleman and minister. Ruan Linluo knows very well that no matter how well Li Zheng treats her, sooner or later she will get tired of it, however, as the concubine of the Son of Heaven, she can only be willing to die here in this life, except for rights and status, she can't ask for too much. Though...... Every time she was with him, she was not allowed to put on a gentle and charming mask, but she slowly discovered that sometimes she could also get joy.

Therefore, Ruan Linluo learned to change, and also learned to separate her body from her heart. Every time she went to bed, she would become a different person, doing her best for him, trying to do her duty. She was his woman, and it was her duty to make him feel pleasurable. However, when she faces the red-eyed women in the harem, she will change into another face and become strong and sharp, not allowing anyone to bully her and provoke her at will.

Shen Yuechen listened to her answer, and her heart was a little relieved, but she could also vaguely feel the hidden sadness in her heart.

In the past, she loved to watch the stories of talented and beautiful women, and she was looking forward to the kind of relationship that she was willing to be inseparable from each other...... Li Zheng is naturally not her single-minded person, but the two of them still have to be inseparable.

The two of them sat together and talked a lot, until the tea on the table was cold.

Ruan Linluo saw that the teacup was getting cold, and looked up at the palace maids who had been waiting in the distance, beckoning, and motioned for them to come and serve.

"Take the tribute tea that the emperor rewarded yesterday and try it."

The palace maids bowed their heads, hurriedly changed the tea, and then retreated far away, not bothering much.

Taking advantage of this short period of effort, the two of them cleaned up their moods, Ruan Linluo smiled slightly: "This is tribute tea, sister-in-law try it." ”

Shen Yuechen hurriedly took a sip, then lowered her eyebrows, tasted it for a long time, and then nodded: "Sure enough, it is a good tea, and the fragrance is very strong." ”

I don't know why, Ruan Linluo heard this, the expression on her face was slightly stunned, and then she picked up the teacup and put it to her nose, sniffed it carefully, and immediately frowned and said: "This tea is not right, sister-in-law quickly spit out all the drinks......"

Shen Yuechen was shocked in his heart, and his body's reaction was slightly slower by half a beat, but then he bent down and retched. However, she just took a sip and couldn't spit it out.

Ruan Linluo's face changed greatly, and she immediately called Mama Tang and said, "Quickly let her spit out the tea." ”

Mama Tang had a cold face, reached out to help Shen Yuechen up, and didn't think much about it, she broke her mouth with her hand, and directly used her fingers to pick her throat, which soon made her vomit.

"Hurry up and call the Imperial Doctor to see what's in this tea?"

Ruan Linluo looked at Shen Yuechen bending over and vomiting, her heartstrings tightened, she raised her eyes and swept to the palace maids around her, and said in a deep voice: "Who made this tea just now?" ”

As soon as her words fell, a palace maid dressed in green clothes and combing her double bun knelt on the ground tremblingly, kowtowed again and again: "Hui Niangniang, the tea was made by a slave." ”

Ruan Linluo looked her up and down, and then pointed to the tea bowl on the table, "What's in this tea?" ”

The palace maid's face turned pale, and her whole body trembled and said, "Niangniang, there are only tea leaves in this tea...... The slave maid did not put anything but tea. ”

Just as she said this, Shen Yuechen, who had vomited twice, felt uncomfortable in her stomach as if she was overturned, but before she could stand firmly, she suddenly felt a burst of dizziness, followed by a blackness in front of her eyes, and the whole person fell backwards unconsciously.
