Thinking about it like this, it is a little difficult to dream again. In the clouds, the sky is already light. The emperor was going to the morning court as usual, and told her to get up and rest for a while. Ruyi thought that today was the day when His Majesty the concubine saw her, so she got up with the emperor, dressed neatly together, sent the emperor out with a smile, and went back to her palace.

Jin Yuyan's temper has become worse and worse since the death of the ninth elder brother. The emperor saw the pain of her loss of a child, and comforted her, and restored her as a concubine the next day to show her favor, and after a long silence, she finally raised her eyebrows.

This day was the first time that the concubines met in the palace after the establishment of the queen. Ruyi didn't want to put up a new shelf, so she met the concubines in Yikun Palace according to the hour, but everyone kept their identities and waited in the palace more and more early.

Because it was the same day, Ruyi changed into a red dragon and phoenix hook lotus dark flower gauze dress, and the hair bun was mostly decorated with pure gold, mixed with red treasures, and it was festive without losing its luxury and grace.

At that time, Jiaguifei Yuyan and Chun Guifei Luyun were in the position of the left and right, and the head of Luyun was Yufei Hailan, Ling Concubine Yanwan, Wan Concubine Wanyin, Qing Guiren Yingluo, Xiu Chang was there, and under Yuyan was Shu Concubine Yihuan, Mei Concubine Ruiji, Jin Guiren, Usually In, Yu Chang and several last promises. In order to avoid disturbing the queen's red color, the concubines wear more lake blue, Luo Cui, silver Zhu, light pink, Xia purple, bright colors, complex and delicate embroidery, but they dare not have a person who is similar to Ruyi's dress, that is, Su Luyun, who ranks first among the concubines, is just an orange Qibao embroidered peony medicine Yutang spring clothes, with jade silver filigree inlaid with gemstones Fushou Mian Changtianzi, accompanied by joy and decency, but also a humble concession.

Among the concubines, only the newly reset Yuyan was dressed in carmine and embroidered with eight clusters of peony, and the Qingyun Hua bun was decorated with a little emerald inlaid coral gold rhombic flowers and a pair of auspicious clouds inlaid with gold beaded garnet phoenix tail hairpins, which were bright and luxurious, and approached Ruyi.

Ruyi was unhappy in her heart, but she didn't look at her, she only looked at Lu Yun and her face: "This palace has a new ebony red coral pen holder, a pair of white jade pen collars, thinking that Yongying is learning calligraphy, just wait for you to bring it." ”

Seeing that Ruyi cared for her son, Lu Yun was the most happy, and hurriedly got up and thanked: "The queen is happy, and she still cares about the children of the concubine, and the concubine is really grateful." After that, he said to Yuyan: "Concubine Jia Guifei is reinstated, and the queen is happy to be in the middle palace, it is rare to dress up so beautifully, we are also happy to look at it." ”

Yan Wan said gently: "The concubines and others serve the queen, no matter how good they look, it's not for themselves, it's just that Queen Bo smiles." can make the queen happy, and it is not in vain that Concubine Jia is wearing such a color dress. It's all about pleasing the master's mother. ”

Yuyan's smile was cold and strange: "Concubine Ling is bent on pleasing the master, it is a coincidence in this palace, but I am worried about what the emperor said that I like to wear red in this palace." ”

Yan Wan was a little embarrassed, and took a cherry to eat, but Hailan smiled: "The emperor and the queen mother are husband and wife, and if Concubine Jia remembers the emperor, she remembers the queen mother." ”

Yuyan saw Ruyi sitting on it, slowly closing the lid of the blue and white travertine flower teacup, and the heat covered her beautiful face: "The queen is the new queen, but the Yikun Palace is the old palace." The concubine remembered that at that time, the emperor rewarded Yikun Palace to the queen mother who was still a concubine to live, which was to take Yi as an assistant, and asked the mother to assist Kunning, which was originally the meaning of the deputy envoy. Why is it that now that he has become the master of the middle palace, the mother still lives in the palace of assistance? ”

This is a very sharp question. Ruyi remembered that before the seal, the emperor had also mentioned changing palaces to live, but among the six palaces in the east and west, only Changchun Palace, Xianfu Palace, Chengqian Palace and Jingren Palace had not been inhabited. Changchun Palace enshrines the relics of Empress Xiaoxian; Xianfu Palace is the former residence of Emperor Huixian, who was vacant after her death; Jingren Palace, Ruyi only needs to think about it for a moment, and she will think of her poor aunt, who died of resentment, how she is willing to live again. The emperor also said that the Chengqian Palace means the upper inheritance of Qiankun, and has always been inhabited by the most favored women in the harem, and the filial piety queen Dong Eshi of the Shunzhi Emperor is. But it has been in disrepair for a long time, and it has to be repaired to allow Ruyi to live. It's just that why do you need to explain to her Jin Yuyan in such words.

Ruyi just smiled lightly and ignored it. Yin Wan pursed the corners of her lips and chuckled, her slender hand raised the sleeves of her robe with pastel embroidered lotus leaves Tian Tian Tian to cover her lips, with a hint of ridicule in her eyes, she plucked the emerald green jade drop pendant on her ears, and said softly: "The queen is the queen, the rightful lord of the six palaces, no matter where she lives, she is the emperor's wife, our master's mother." ”

Yuyan smiled slightly, tilted her head slightly, her head was full of pearls, and she dragged the star-like light, shaking people's eyes: "The master and the mother are all the masters, but the wife is ......" Her body leaned forward slightly, and said to Lu Yun: "The pure concubine was born in the Han military banner, so naturally I know that the people have such a saying, right?" Isn't it a continuation? Or fill the house, stepwife? She shook up the apricot handkerchief in her hand and said with a smile, "In the end, the wife who remarried is different from the wife, right?" ”

Indeed, this is mean. Lu Yun didn't dare to answer for a while, but just turned his head and said something to Yihuan, covering up the past.

There was a moment of silence, Ruyi thought of her aunt, the queen of Jingren Palace who died of resentment and despair, perhaps, she also cared about it when she was alive, right? cares about her identity, and is always the successor of the second. Ruyi suddenly smiled, calm and determined. Actually, what's the matter? Really, the only person in this position is the most important person, and before and after, it is just a vain.

Ruyi turned her face sideways and summoned Rong Pei: "Go and present the earrings prepared by the palace for Concubine Chun and Concubine Jia." ”

Rong Pei agreed, and immediately took a long plate of lemon wood carved peony wearing phoenix from the little palace maid, on which were two pink brocade round boxes. She opened it neatly and sent it to Lu Yun in order first, it was a pair of agate wearing pearl jade earrings, the color was generous and bright, which was very suitable for Lu Yun's age and identity. Lu Yun hurriedly got up and thanked: "Thank you for the reward." ”

Ruyi smiled faintly: "Wait a minute, there are still three handfuls of jade Ruyi, you bring them back to the third elder brother, the sixth elder brother and the fourth princess, which is also a little bit of the palace's heart." ”

Lu Yun thanked him four times, looking respectful. Rong Pei sent another pair of earrings to Yuyan, and Ruyi smiled gently: "This pair of earrings is different from the pair of pure concubines, and they are specially chosen for you." Jia Guifei should like it, right? ”

Yuyan only glanced at it, and suddenly changed color, Ruyi suddenly said as if she hadn't seen it, and said as usual: "This pair of carnelian earrings for Jia Guifei is decorated with turquoise and coral used in Qibao, and the carved gold beads with the size of her thumb hang down at the end, the color is bright, which is very suitable for Jia Guifei's bright and charming temperament." It's just that carnelian is not as valuable as agate, so there is no way, the pure concubine has deep qualifications and has both children and daughters, so she is naturally above Jia Guifei. ”

These words are not only to praise the transcendent status of the head of the concubines of Luyun, to stabilize her confused and uneasy thoughts after Yonghuang and Yongzhang were reprimanded, but also to mention Yuyan's intention to use the Qibao bracelet to assassinate her that day. She remembers the cause and effect clearly.

Yuyan was really a little pale, her face was slightly pale, and she didn't want to take the pair of earrings.

Ruyi's face sank slightly, like a lake under the autumn clouds: "What? Isn't Concubine Jia unwilling to accept the heart of this palace? ”

Lu Yun was still obedient in the end, and hurriedly took off the tourmaline glass leaf crystal earrings on his earlobes, put on the earrings rewarded by Ruyi, got up and said: "The queen's mother is rewarded, and the concubine is remembered in her heart, so she will wear it at this moment to show respect for her mother." ”

Ruyi bowed her head with satisfaction and looked at Yuyan calmly, Yuyan reluctantly said: "Thank you to the queen, the concubine will wear it when she goes back." ”

Yin Wan chuckled lightly and said crisply: "This is the first day we have visited the queen mother, if Concubine Jia has the heart, she can wear it at this moment, why bother not to go back?" Besides, how to go back is not in the six palaces under the jurisdiction of the queen's mother. ”

Yi Huan has never liked Yuyan, and said sideways: "If Concubine Jia doesn't like it, she doesn't like it, why bother pretending to be an excuse, it can be seen that she is not a truth." ”

Wan Yin also advised: "Concubine Jia, the earrings rewarded by the queen mother are very good-looking, and only you and Concubine Chun have them, so we can't envy them." ”

Yuyan had to reach out and check the earrings, and reluctantly said: "The queen mother is really sincere, such a big gold bead must be solid, and the concubine is only afraid of ear pain when she wears it." In the past, when Empress Xiaoxian was there, she was most afraid of extravagance and gorgeousness, and the concubines really didn't dare to bear such luxurious earrings. ”

This time, Lu Yun, who had already put on earrings, couldn't help but be embarrassed, but Hailan smiled: "Empress Xiaoxian is thrifty, that's because the emperor ascended the throne, and everything is hastily created." Now that the emperor is a peaceful and wealthy son of heaven, rich all over the world, what happened to the concubine wearing a pair of more luxurious earrings, I am afraid that the emperor will be even happier when he sees it. ”

Yuyan looked at the earrings carefully, the perforated needles were originally made of silver needles, and the needles on the head were more curved than the ordinary earrings, but the needle body was more than twice as thick, so she said: "This ear needle is so thick, the concubine's ear piercing is small, I'm afraid it can't be pierced." ”

Ruyi didn't want to say much to her, raised her chin, Rong Pei understood, and said: "Wearing earrings is not Jiaguifei's mother's business, whether you can wear them is the slave's ability, and whether you want to let the slave or maid wear it is Jiaguifei's own intention." ”

Ruyi leaned over slightly, fiddled with a handful of newly folded crimson hibiscus beside her, and said with a smile: "Concubine Jia naturally knows why this palace wants to reward you with carnelian earrings. The thoughts of this palace, it's good that you understand, if you put it bluntly, it's rare for you to be reinstated as a concubine, don't lose it easily. ”

Yuyan's face was full of anger, and she didn't dare to attack in the end, so she had to lower her head and say sharply to Rong Pei: "Be careful with your claws, don't hurt this palace." ”

Rong Pei agreed, took off Yuyan's original earrings, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, and pierced her ear holes. The ear needle was sharp, and it stabbed when it touched the flesh, and it was quickly blocked by the thick needle, and it couldn't be penetrated. Rong Pei ignored it, and still wore it in, as if it was not a human flesh and ear piercing. Yuyan was a little forbearant at first, but then she was really in pain, and turned her head and shouted, "Didn't I teach you to be more careful?" What are your claws made of, don't you loosen it for Hongu quickly! ”

Rong Pei's face was expressionless, but she refused to let go of her hands, and only said with a straight face: "It's not that the slave and maid are not careful, it's that the slave and maid's hands are not careful, and they can't recognize people." At the beginning, Jia Guifei sent Aunt Xinxin to the Shen Xin Division, but she didn't do anything, but aren't those minions of the Shen Criminal Division your hands and claws Jia Guifei, your hands and claws don't meet your heart, and the slaves don't know, but now the hands and claws of the slaves don't listen to their own calls, and they have to drill your ears, what do you say? ”

Yuyan was shocked and angry, and her face was slightly distorted in pain: "Queen Mother! Do you just connive at your slaves and maids to bully your concubines? ”

Ruyi smiled silently, as if she was just watching an interesting comedy, and ordered: "Heart, add some refreshments to the little masters." Your legs and feet are not good, go slowly, don't rush. ”

Seeing Ruyi like this, Yuyan became more and more annoyed: "My heart is broken, because the people of the Shen Punishment Department are too heavy, and the emperor has already belittled the concubines." Now that the concubines have been reinstated, the emperor doesn't care. The emperor doesn't care, does the queen dare to care? ”

Ruyi looked at her, as warm as a spring breeze: "The emperor doesn't care about the emperor's kindness, and the palace doesn't care about being one with the emperor." Therefore, this palace is now rewarding you, not punishing you. Don't be mistaken. ”

Rong Pei said with a cold face: "Concubine Jia, the ear needle has been pierced, if you want to struggle and move like this again, don't blame yourself for not hurting your ears." Besides, you are more behaved, and the slave and maid pass through immediately, and you will suffer less, right? ”

Yuyan's eyes were red with hatred: "Queen Mother, you are taking a reward to avenge your personal vendetta!" The concubine is not convinced! ”
