Ah Ji looked at her back and sneered. Ruyi said: "If you sneer like this, the night owl's laughter can't compare to you, it sounds weird." ”

Ah Jiu smiled and bent over: "Little master, the slave is a laughing lotus heart." Do you know that this morning the slave maid went to Piku of the Internal Affairs Office, wanting to ask them to keep some of the good skins that they had paid for this autumn to make clothes for the eldest brother. The slave asked curiously, she said that she was looking for some big wool in the summer, but who knew that they said that the queen mother prepared a dowry for Lianxin. ”

Ruyi said: "Lianxin is already twenty-four, and she should have been released from the palace, but she is the queen's mother's maid, and there is no place to go back." Since you have to serve in the palace for a lifetime, it is better to get married. The queen is willing to marry, which is also to give her face. ”

Ah Ji took a sip with a smile, and the lantern in his hand also swirled around leisurely: "The little lord doesn't know who the queen mother pointed to her, right?" ”

Ruyi glanced at Yong Xin, and Xin Xin hurriedly coaxed Yonghuang to go. Ruyi asked: "I heard that she was close to Wang Qin in front of the emperor, and the queen also said this, but this is a joke, Wang Qin is a father-in-law, not a man, how can he match him?" ”

Ah Jiu's eyebrows flew up proudly, and he said, "Don't say it, little master, it's really Wang Qin." The dowry of the Internal Affairs Office has been prepared, and it is said that the emperor also knows, so he will wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival to get married. The queen said in the palace that Lianxin had been with her for so many years, and it was like marrying half a daughter. ”

Ruyi was stunned for a long time, and then came back to her senses and said, "It's a pity to be a good girl." ”

Ah Zhen's eyebrows danced: "What's the pity!" Among the eunuchs in the palace, Wang Qin has the highest status, and how many people can't get a knot. Lianxin matched him, and he also cheapened Lianxin! ”

Ruyi looked at her unhappily: "Okay, don't say such things!" The palace maid is already pitiful with the right food, no matter how bad the lotus heart is, don't make fun of her to your face. ”

Ah Ji reluctantly responded, half of his face turned red, and he leaned over to Ruyi and said, "Little master, will you also point out a good family for the slave and maid in the future?" ”

Ruyi smiled and reached out to shave her face: "Don't worry, last year, you Ama released the foreign official, I have always heard that it is very good." When the time comes, I will also give you a good family in a beautiful manner. ”

Ah Zhen was shy and happy: "What good people can be picked by slaves and maids depends on the grace of the little master." ”

Ruyi said: "We don't know what the people are like outside, we can pick a guard in front of the palace, and earn a good future on your own." ”

Ah Ji couldn't help but be glued to Ruyi's side for a long time. happened to bring Yonghuang over, Ah Zhen beckoned and smiled: "The little master is happy today, please beg her, and also give you a good family to marry, so as to raise your family, and save people about your origin of the two hundred yuan!" ”

Ruyi slapped Ah Ji in disgust, and threatened to hit her in the mouth, but Ah Ji dodged away with a smile: "The slave and the maid are so familiar with Xinxin, it's just a joke." ”

He said quietly: "The slave maid is not better than Sister Aji, I just want to guard the little master for the rest of my life and never go anywhere." ”

Ah Zhen picked the corner of his eyes, as if he was dissatisfied, and muttered: "Such a great grace is in front of you, don't be pretended!" ”

He cleaned Yonghuang's clothes and said with a faint smile: "There's nothing to fake about." Sister Ah Ji wants to marry a good family, the little master can't be without someone to serve, and when the slave and maid are sold, they forget where their hometown is, and they just stay to serve the little master for a lifetime. ”

Ruyi stroked the slightly cool gilt tassel on her sideburns, and said with a smile: "It's naturally good that you have this heart, but a girl can't help but get married." Even if you marry closer, marry a guard or a doctor, it's good. ”

His face was red, he bit his lip, but he didn't speak.

Ruyi held their hands and was about to get up and leave, when she suddenly saw the lights in front of her, and dozens of lanterns were lit up like dark red and light yellow stars, dimly lit up.

Ruyi raised her face, and immediately ran to the front, and came back after a while: "Little master, something happened to Yonghe Palace, and the emperor is rushing over." ”

This night Yonghe Palace was not peaceful, and I didn't know what was going on all night, but I saw that the imperial doctor went and dialed again, but he was not released. Everyone in the Six Palaces was amazed, and they couldn't ask anything when they inquired in private, only knowing that the lights of Yonghe Palace were on all night, but the door was closed without a sound.

When I got up in the morning, I didn't know what happened in Yonghe Palace, such as Yi was worried about going to Changchun Palace to ask for peace, so I freshened up early and passed the sedan chair to go outside.

The concubines went out in a sedan chair, but now the early summer morning is still cool, Ruyi took the hand of Xin Xin and Ah Zhen and went out slowly, and crossed the long street, watching the early sun clear as gold, and the gold-like sunlight fell on the glazed tiles, as if there was a pool of golden waves. Ruyi was greedy for the sun, and only walked a few steps, but saw that Hui Guifei was also in front, and stood on the side of the road to greet her.

Concubine Hui looked at her with a smile and said, "I haven't seen Concubine Xian for a few days, and my complexion is getting better and better." Did the emperor rest with you yesterday, so people are in good spirits at happy events? ”

Ah Jiu had a sweet smile on his face, but he said: "It is also a common thing for the emperor to come up, can this also be regarded as a happy event?" ”

Ruyi was annoyed that Ah Zhenzui was so fast, and before she had time to stare at her, Concubine Hui just smiled as usual, reached out and stroked a cold emerald jasper pearl hairpin on the new hairpin on her hair, and said lightly: "It's also that the palace forgot about it, and the emperor seemed to be resting in Yonghe Palace yesterday." I thought that my sister would stay there in spring for a long time, and she wouldn't fall for a day. ”

Ruyi didn't want to talk to her so quickly, so she just lowered her face quietly and looked at the thin tassels on her pine silk.

Hui Guifei thought she was discouraged, and the corners of her eyes were a little more peach-colored, and she was about to say a few more sarcastic words, but she saw a sedan chair in the oblique stab cross out, and almost hit Hui Guifei. She stumbled on her feet, the bottom of the flower pot slanted, and she almost fell out. Fortunately, Caizhu and Caiyue helped quickly, and although the person was fine, the jasper hairpin on the bun slipped down and fell to pieces.

The sedan chair hit someone, as if nothing happened, and turned to the corner door, ignoring who it hit, and the impact was not heavy.

Caiyue said "oops", hurriedly squatted down to pick up the jasper hairpin, and said anxiously: "This is the emperor's new reward, so it is broken......"

Before she finished speaking, Cai Yue had already received a heavy slap on her face. Hui Guifei said angrily: "Do you see who that person is?" ”

Caiyue covered her face and didn't dare to cry, but Mo Xin said: "The back image is always there, but the clothes don't look like it." ”

Concubine Hui scolded: "With only one jade hairpin, is the emperor still less rewarded?" Little family gas! With that, she left Ruyi and hurried to Changchun Palace.

When Ruyi saw her leaving, she was a little annoyed, and said to Ah Zhen: "If you are so quick to speak, don't come out with me again!" ”

Ah Zhen muttered, "What is the little master afraid of her?" We have a big brother, and the grace of Yanxi Palace is no less than that of the concubine! ”

Ruyi saw that she was not good at teaching, and said angrily: "Even so, why do you bother to provoke her? Now that the eldest brother is by my side, how many people's eyes are watching, and you still refuse to check it! ”

Ah Ji wanted to say more, but after all, he endured it and helped Ruyi's hand to Changchun Palace.

When Ruyi arrived, the concubines were already there. She followed Concubine Hui in and sat down according to her position, and the queen smiled and said to the concubine, "What's wrong with you today?" My hair is also a little loose, and my face is not very good. ”

Concubine Hui gave a look, and Mo Xin hurriedly said: "Just came from the long street, our little master didn't know whose sedan chair was rampage out and touched it, and the person almost twisted, and even the jade hairpin rewarded by the emperor was broken." ”

Concubine Hui got up hurriedly and said, "I came to see the queen mother in such a hurry, I am really afraid that I will miss the time to ask for peace, and I ask the queen mother to forgive me." ”

The queen said gently: "What's the matter, but you're okay, right?" Didn't the people who followed see who hit it? ”

Mo Xin said: "The slave maid looked at the trance and was always there. ”

Rui Ji was not surprised, but smiled like a hibiscus dew: "Fang Cai was reckless, I almost bumped into the concubine, it's really disrespectful." ”

Concubine Hui Guifei looked uncertain, and said coldly: "Now that I know that I have hit the palace, how did I escape like a gust of wind?" ”

Rui Ji smiled, stroked her cheek and said, "I wanted to stop and apologize to you, the concubine." However, the concubine has an important matter that she can't help but go back and forth to the queen first, so she has to be sorry for the concubine. As for the jade hairpin rewarded by the emperor, you can pick whatever you like in the concubine's palace, and it doesn't matter if you pay two or three. ”

Hui Guifei heard her so arrogant, and her face like a lotus couldn't help but contain a little anger: "Yonghe Palace made a fuss all night last night, and today it is rude again, even if the emperor spoils you, I can't help you like this!" ”

Rui Ji turned her face sideways, the curvature of the corners of her lips was like a crescent moon, and she got up and respectfully blessed the queen: "Back to the queen's mother, the concubine had more than abdominal pain last night, and the emperor sent the imperial doctor to see it, only to know that the concubine was pregnant, and it has been two months!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, all four were shocked.

Ruyi subconsciously pressed her lower abdomen, and she felt a little sad. She immediately realized that this was not the time for her to be sad, so she hurriedly held the smile on her face, did not allow it to scatter, and congratulated everyone: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the queen, congratulations to Mei Chang." ”

The queen was still calm, and the smile on her face couldn't hide the leaking spring light: "Really? It's just that since you are pregnant, how can you have abdominal pain? ”

Rui Ji was slightly trifty: "The imperial doctor said that the concubine's physique is cold, the fetus is hot, and there is a collision, plus it is the first child, so she has abdominal pain." In fact, it doesn't matter, the concubine is also in a hurry to return to the queen because of this matter, so she didn't dare to stay when she collided with the concubine. After she said that, she would bend her knees and salute the concubine, "Please also ask the concubine to forgive the concubine for this." ”

Although Rui Ji was about to bend her knees, her movements were extremely slow, and the concubine knew what she meant, so she had to let Mo Xin stop her and said, "If you are pregnant, be careful." In case you bump it, you will lose this blessing carefully. ”

Rui Ji's gaze was slightly provocative, and she looked at the concubine and said, "How could this blessing that was so easy to get lost it?" With the blessing of the concubine, the blessing of the concubine grows. ”

The queen hurriedly said: "You are the firstborn, you have to be extra careful." Wait a minute, and I'll send a few more people to serve you. What is missing, what do you want, just come and talk to this palace. Pregnancy in October is hard. She smiled peacefully, looked at the concubine and Ruyi and said, "But this hard work is also a blessing, and this palace also hopes that the two of you will have an heir." ”

Mei Chang's eyes flickered slightly, looked at Concubine Hui, and said in a manly voice: "Yes, ten months is hard, and the concubine has to work hard to take care of the eldest brother when she looks at Concubine Xian. If you are not your own child, it is still so, and if you are your own child, how difficult it will be. is still Hui Guifei's good fortune, and those who have not given birth look younger than their actual age, not so old. ”

Hui Guifei was so angry that she trembled all over, and she was about to have a seizure almost immediately. The queen glanced at her soothingly, but she didn't notice it, nodded quietly, handed over a bowl of tea, touched the elbow of the concubine, and signaled her to be quiet.

The queen looked around at everyone and said slowly: "If you have a child, you are happy, but if you don't have it, you don't have to worry." The emperor has always been kind and caring to the harem, and sooner or later he will have his own children. She paused for a moment and said slowly, "By the way, there is a happy event to tell you about in this palace today, and it is also a great happy event in the palace." She called, "Lotus Heart." ”

Lianxin stood there all morning, like a clay tire wood carver. When she heard the queen's call, she almost trembled violently, and involuntarily knelt down and said, "The slave is here." ”

The queen pointed at her, and her mouth was as warm as a spring breeze: "Among these girls in the palace, the most painful thing in this palace is the lotus heart." Now that the lotus heart is also big, the palace wants to point her to a good family, but she is unwilling to go out of the palace to marry far away. The loyal people who followed the palace naturally couldn't wronged her, so they discussed with the emperor and instructed the lotus heart to Wang Qin, the chief eunuch of the Yang Xin Palace, and they became married on August 16. ”

Lianxin's heart was excited, her face suddenly turned snow-white, and she bent down and begged: "Queen Mother, slave maid...... The slave really doesn't want to get married, she just wants to serve you all the time. ”

The queen smiled very kindly, as if she was talking softly to her daughter: "This palace knows your loyalty, but a woman can't help but marry." You are the most trusted person in this palace, and you must marry well. Wang Qin is only in his early thirties, and he will be with you for a long time. Your dowry, the palace will also give you twice as generously. The queen's tone sank slightly, "Wang Qin has liked you for a long time, and this family business is a good marriage that you can't ask for." Don't let down the palace and the emperor's love for you. ”

Lianxin trembled and knelt there, crying. Su Xin hurriedly helped her and said, "The queen is kind, and it's too late for Lianxin to be happy." She must have been overjoyed. With that, he helped Lianxin down.

Ruyi and Hailan glanced at each other, both silently, and only followed everyone: "The queen mother is kind and merciful." ”

Hui Guifei even said: "Wang Qin is a big celebrity in front of the emperor, this marriage is worthy of the lotus heart, if you want to change someone else, you can't ask for it, or the queen's face is big." ”

The queen smiled undiminishedly: "Okay." These are all gossip. She looked at Rui Ji and said, "The most important thing now is Mei Chang's fetus. You have to take good care of it, and you can't take it lightly. ”

Rui Ji bowed down and agreed. Everyone congratulated a few times and left.
