Ruyi smiled calmly: "You have never been convinced, and it is not this day or two." Moreover, this palace can tell you plainly that it is not this palace that wants to avenge your own personal vendetta, but that you bear what you have done! So for you, reward is also punishment, and punishment is also reward! ”
Yin Wan stretched out her soft and boneless fingers and slowly peeled off a loquat: "The queen mother is already magnanimous enough." As a concubine, you don't need honorifics to the queen, and you dare to hit the color of the queen. To put it bluntly, no matter how noble Concubine Jia is, no matter how far away she comes, she is not just a concubine like us. I have heard that in the Li Dynasty to abide by Confucianism, the concubine will always be the slave of the main room, and the child born of the concubine will always be the slave of the child of the main room. Why did Jia Guifei forget to discipline and distinguish between respect and inferiority when she got here? If the emperor knew, he would probably regret restoring your concubine so early. is so ignorant, isn't it a disappointing emperor's hard work? ”
Yuyan heard the word "emperor", and she didn't dare to argue any more, so she had red eyes and gritted her teeth to hold back. Rong Pei was merciless, as if it was just a piece of pork belly cut off and hung on a hook, not knowing the pain, not knowing the heat or cold, and desperately drilling with the ear needle. Yuyan burst into tears in pain, she really felt that these pair of earlobes were not her own. For so many years, I have been pampered, puffing every inch of my body with snow-white pearl powder extracted from flower juice every night, and raising every bit of texture to be as tender as mutton fat, how can I stand such a toss. However, when she looked at everyone around her, she was the most timid and kind Wanyin, and she just lowered her face and didn't dare to look at her. And the others are so indifferent, only caring about talking and laughing at themselves, and occasionally looking at her, it is also like watching a joke.
Yuyan bit her lip fiercely, it turned out that in this deep palace, no matter how high her status is, no matter how many princes she has, she is just an outlier after all.
I don't know how long it took, Rong Pei finally put on the earrings for Yuyan, the pure gold beads shone incomparably, and the blood beads dripping from her earlobes became more and more dazzling. Rong Pei's fingertips were also stained with scarlet blood, and her indifferent expression made people forget that it was fresh human blood, and thought it was rouge or something. On Yuyan's snow-white earlobes, the overly heavy earrings tore at her cracked ear piercings, shedding two bright red marks, ticking and melting into the thick carpet in the new harem.
There was a moment of silence, and everyone was stunned by the sad and angry and beautiful picture of this moment.
Ruyi only smiled calmly in the face of Yuyan's anger and unwillingness. She suddenly remembered that in her distant memory, she happened to go to Jingren Palace to visit her queen's aunt, and after conditioning the concubines, the ambitious aunt said to her casually: "The most important thing for the queen is to do nothing, you can do everything you want, but if you do everything yourself, you will fall behind." The important thing is to borrow someone else's hand and do what you want. ”
Ruyi knew that she had already violated her aunt's taboo at this moment. But, she is happy. The pleasure at this moment is the most important, not to mention that as the new queen, it is difficult for her to rise step by step from the status of a concubine, she knows how to be lenient and severe, so she calmed Su Luyun and suppressed Jin Yuyan.
Ruyi smiled and looked at Yuyan's bloody gorgeous earlobes, the bright red color made her relieve some of the heartache of being crippled and the humiliation of being accused of fornication. She smiled and said, "It's so beautiful! Still, does it hurt? ”
Yuyan was obviously extremely hateful, but she lost the arrogance of Fang Cai, and said a little timidly: "Of course it hurts." ”
Ruyi smiled and flicked the gold-inlaid jade armor: "It's good if it hurts." After the pain, I remember the lesson! Get up and sit down. ”
Lixin, who was beside Yuyan, was frightened, and only came back to her senses after listening to Ruyi's instructions, and timidly helped Yuyan get up and sit down.
Yi Huan glanced at Lixin, and his tone was as cold as autumn frost: "You have to serve Concubine Jia well, don't be like Zhen Shu, one was accidentally sent back to the Li Dynasty." Zhenshu has Li Chao to go back, but you don't! ”
Lixin was so frightened that she trembled, where did she dare to make a sound.
Rong Pei saw that Yuyan's face was still a little angry, so she said coldly with a straight face: "Concubine Jia's tears are too precious, don't flow in front of the slave maid, in the eyes of the slave maid, it is no different from the dirty water dripping on the eaves!" But if you want to throw your tears to the emperor, the slave and maid will also be clear in front of the little masters. The queen mother gave a reward, it was the slave and the maid who put it on with you, if you want to hurt it, although you came to the slave and maid, the slave and the maid did not say a word. But if you're going to splash dirty water on the queen's body, then you have to rest on it. All the little lords are watching, and you are willing to bear it yourself. Not for anything else, but for yourself to do something wrong, that's what you deserve. ”
The concubines were so observant of their words and expressions that they hurriedly followed Lu Yun as the leader and got up and said, "Yes." What the concubines saw and heard, it was definitely not the responsibility of the queen. ”
Ruyi smiled at everyone: "Rong Pei, give the gifts prepared by the palace to the palaces." ”
If so, the concubines accompanied Ruyi and laughed for a while, and then dispersed.
In the evening, the emperor came early to accompany Ruyi to dinner. Ruyi stood under the cloister, and when she saw the emperor from afar, she smiled: "The emperor came up so early, but the strange concubine hasn't prepared dinner yet." ”
"Not really! The emperor was in a hurry, and the queen mother personally prepared the cloud slice ham and simmered purple chicken for a while, and she couldn't drink it. ”
The emperor took Ruyi's hand, which was extremely intimate: "Don't salute, the movement is sweating again." He smiled and said, "I don't care what you eat, I finished the excerpt, I just want to come and sit with the queen earlier." ”
Ruyi said with a smile: "The emperor said that it is okay to eat whatever you eat, there is a rock sugar lily lotus seed soup that has just cooled, can the emperor try it?" ”
The clarity of the emperor's eyes could almost reflect Yi's smiling face like a blooming lotus: "Naturally, it's good." Lily lily, hundred-year-old acacia, is a well-intentioned head. ”
Ruyi glanced at him gracefully: "It's just a bowl of soup, and it's already a blessing to be able to get such a thought from the emperor." ”
Yixin immediately brought the lily lotus seed soup and offered a bowl of ice to Ruyi. The ice bowl is a good product to relieve the heat in the palace, slice with fresh lotus root, peel and cut into small cubes with fresh water chestnut, remove the skin and lotus heart after the lotus seed blister, add water to steam, and then put in the cut honeydew melon, fresh peach and watermelon on top of the lotus leaf, put in the ice cube and set aside. It's so sweet, Ruyi also likes it very much.
Ruyi just scooped a bite, and the emperor reached over and snatched the silver spoon in her hand: "Hey, look at how sweet you eat, it turns out that it is different from mine." As he spoke, he took a bite of the silver spoon used by Ruyi, and sighed, "It's so sweet!" ”
Ruyiqi said: "The concubine is not very fond of sweetness, so there will not be a lot of sugar in this ice bowl." ”
The emperor said, "If you don't believe it, you can taste it yourself." ”
Ruyi tasted it again and said, "The emperor really has a concubine." ”
The emperor couldn't help but laugh, and whispered in her ear, "It's me who feels sweet in my heart." ”
Ruyi glanced at the emperor with a smile and said, "The emperor is used to flamboyant tongues. ”
The emperor's eyebrows and corners of his eyes were full of smiles: "Flim tongue? It also depends on whether that person is worth it and whether he is worthy of my flamboyant tongue. He accompanied Ruyi to finish the snacks, and the words suddenly changed, "That's right." Concubine Fang Cai came to see me in the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, crying and crying, and her earlobes were also injured. What's wrong? ”
The long eyelashes are like the wings of a jackdaw, and the eyelashes are drooping, sneering secretly, Jin Yuyan really can't bear it. She raised her eyes, looked at the emperor's eyes, and said with a smile: "Right and wrong, the emperor has already heard Concubine Jia cry herself, and the concubine will not rap." ”
The emperor slowly scooped a lotus seed into the silver spoon: "What she said is naturally her own, I want to hear your words." ”
Ruyi said without thinking: "The harem belongs to the concubines, and even more to the emperor." Concubines will not deliberately cause trouble. ”
The emperor smiled, his eyebrows stretched out one by one: "With your words, I am relieved." Actually, you don't know it even if you don't say it. Concubine Jia has just been reinstated, and it is inevitable that she will be a little rebellious, where to fight for breath to restore her former honor and earn some face. If you first ascend to the back position, if you don't put a little pressure on it, it will indeed be difficult to suppress it in the future. ”
Ruyi lowered her eyebrows and bowed, very gentle: "The emperor is right." Concubine Jia was born in the Li Dynasty, so she should have been extraordinarily tolerant. But two days ago, when the concubine saw Princess Hejing, she felt that the princess had a very good saying. ”
The emperor was very interested and said with a smile: "He Jing is married to a wife, and now he is no longer willful. If she says anything, tell me to hear it. ”
Ruyi pulled the silver spoon in her hand and said with a soft smile: "The princess said that if you can enjoy the wealth of the sky, you must also be able to withstand the catastrophe in the future." ”
The emperor raised his eyebrows, showing that he was unhesitant: "Two days ago was my post-establishment ceremony, what did she mean by saying this?" ”
Ruyi knew that he was displeased, and said with a shallow smile: "The princess's words are valid in all six palaces, and the concubine thinks it's not bad." The emperor is kind and loving, and Concubine Jia should be more cautious in her words and deeds, and not make the mistakes of the past. ”
The emperor waved his hand and said gently: "You have already dealt with the matter of Concubine Jia." and respectful ...... She's married, and you don't have to worry about it. By the way, in a few days it will be my Halloween. I think about it, I have something for you. ”
The delicately depicted Yuanshan Dai's eyebrows were raised lightly, and Ruyi smiled: "This is strange." The emperor's birthday should be a congratulatory gift from the concubine, why did the emperor turn upside down? ”
The emperor held her hand, and there was a secret affection in his eyes: "I went to Shufang Zhai today, and I remembered that you have lived in the cold palace for several years, and you have been miserable, and most of the women who live with you are also the widows of the first emperor. Therefore, I have made a decree to send all these women to the Rehe Palace, choose a secluded place to retire, and stop living so miserably. ”
There was a slight vibration gushing through the heart spring, as if there was a warm spring water gurgling under the frozen spring surface, Ruyi seemed to be in disbelief, and said softly: "The emperor means ......"
"I don't want to have a cold palace in the palace anymore." The emperor held Ruyi's hand and said solemnly, "There is no cold palace, it is the time when I want the husband and wife in the palace to be united, and then ruthlessly abandon each other." ”
The warmth in her heart finally broke the ice, Ruyi looked back at the emperor, and smiled gently: "The emperor is deeply affectionate, and the six palaces are the same as Mu Enze." ”
The hall was as cool as a promise, and Ruyi only felt warm in her heart. It's just that in that warmth, there is also a trace of untimely melancholy welling up. In fact, the cold palace is just a palace, if one day the emperor's grace is cut off, even if he is in a rich and splendid place, why not be in the cold palace, miserable and helpless?
It's just that this is too unlucky. She wouldn't ask, and she wouldn't ask. He only knelt on the emperor's shoulder silently, persuading himself to enjoy the silence and gentleness of this moment.
