Tong Ruofei is gone like this, and everyone in the Forbidden City still doesn't feel real. The arrogant and gentle woman in the past was tortured into skin and bones in the end? In just half a month, she has gone from a dignified and virtuous imperial concubine to a depressed queen.

The scale of Tong Ruofei's funeral was no less than that of the previous Empress Renxiao and Empress Xiaozhao.

There is such a graceful and luxurious woman missing in the palace, and many people are still a little unaccustomed to it.

"I don't know how the queen mother got sick, she died in just half a month, and even the doctors couldn't do it."

"Originally, I thought that Concubine Yi would be defeated, which caused many people in our palace to curry favor with the Aunt Lianxue in the Chengqian Palace. Now I heard that Aunt Lianxue was given to accompany the queen to the funeral. On the surface, it is honor, but in fact it is death. ”

"Where can you still see living people up and down in the Chengqian Palace now? When the queen was seriously ill before, there were guard handles, but now no one even cleans the dust in front of the door. Everybody walks around. ”

"I heard that the emperor was sad for a few days because of the queen's illness, and the former son recruited Hua Concubine again, I don't know if Hua Concubine has better blessings."

"How could it not be? When Concubine Hua first entered the palace, she was not very favored, but she has been favored a lot in recent years. In addition to Concubine Yi and Concubine Jing, there are also Zhen Changzai and Wang agreed, which is the most grace of Concubine Hua. Recently, Hua Concubine has been favored a lot, and she has become more and more valued by the emperor. Come to think of it, it was also the emperor who took pity on Concubine Hua and felt that she had lost the protection of the queen's sister, so he hurt her a little more. ”

"What tongue is you chewing on?" The little palace maids were chatting casually, but they didn't notice when Ning Er came behind them, and listened to their words really well.

The little palace maids were startled when they saw Ning Er, and immediately knelt on the ground and begged: "Aunt Ning is angry, we are all unintentional." Just casually, my aunt forgave us. ”

"Yes, yes, my aunt will spare us......" Tong Ruofei died of illness, and the highest-ranking concubine in this palace was Yunyue. As a cronie by Yunyue's side and the aunt in charge of Yongshou Palace, Ning'er's identity was naturally raised.

Ning'er is not better at talking than before, after all, there was Tong Ruofei as the master in the past, but Ning'er did not dare to show off. Now it's different, except for the people in the Qianqing Palace, the people in the Yongshou Palace are the most facely, and even the people of the Queen Mother can't match them.

Yun Yue had also told her before that it didn't have to be the same as before. It is a wise choice to give both grace and power. If it is the same as before, it will inevitably be looked down upon.

Ning Er had a calm face and said unhappily: "It's not the master who arranges it, when is it a common word that you came casually?" ”

Seeing Ning Er's face, those little palace maids were flustered, but they didn't dare to squeak, they only lowered their heads, and almost prostrate on the ground.

"Yo, what's going on?" Jing Hao came from the opposite side, and saw a few people kneeling in front of Ning Er from a distance, thinking that they had also made a mistake and were being reprimanded by Ning Er.

When she first entered the palace, Jing Hao met Ning'er and was a little flattering. Later, Jing Hao was separated from Yunyue and Chun Xi, and naturally he was not as good as before for Ning Er. Later, in response to Suo Etu's words, he turned to make friends with Tong Ruofei, and won the emperor's favor and was promoted to a concubine, so he naturally no longer took Ning Er in his eyes.

Ning'er has always been easy to talk to, and she is also lenient with the people under her hands, but Jinghao has never seen Ning'er throw her face at anyone. It's the first time I've experienced it today, and I think it's because my master is now the most noble concubine in the palace, and she has the power to control the six palaces in her hands. Therefore, it is no longer the same as before, giving people a good face. It's right to think about it, now that you have gained momentum, everyone has to stammer, and your heart will naturally be high. Just like the snow in the past, except in front of the master, who has the snow ever been kind to? That posture can't even be compared to the little masters in the palace, and now Ning'er's appearance is not as good as half a point of mercy.

"Jing Concubine Niangniang is auspicious." Ning Er took the lead in inviting Jing Hao, and she didn't dare to cross the rules, An An knelt separately, waiting for Jing Hao to speak.

Jing Hao disdained, passed by Ning Er, stood in front of the little palace maids, looked up at the sky, and asked, "What mistake did you make?" ”

"Arrange right and wrong, chew the root of the tongue, and count the master's wrong." Ning Er didn't wait for the little palace maids to speak, and replied to Jing Hao's words first.

Jing Hao turned a deaf ear, pointed to the little palace maid at the front, and said softly: "You say, tell the palace the original conversation you just had." ”

"Why bother these minions?" As soon as Jing Hao's voice fell, the little palace maids were in distress when they suddenly heard Du Ruo's voice.

Jing Hao didn't have to look back, and he could immediately remember Du Ruo's appearance in his mind. Today she seems to be wearing a goose-yellow gauze dress, and along with the two handfuls on her head, she also wears several silk flowers of the same color.

Du Ruo saw that Jing Hao ignored herself, so she smiled and said, "If the slave makes a mistake, the punishment is enough." If you embarrass them, you are also angry with yourself, so why bother? If it weren't for a big crime, the heavy punishment would be light and forgiven, and the rules in the palace would be there, so what should be done. ”

On the surface, this is said to Jing Hao, but it is actually said to Ning Er. Ning'er is also a person with Jiling, so she naturally understands that there are words in Du Ruo's words.

Jing Hao looked back at Du Ruo, and was displeased: "When was Du Guiren so idle?" No longer Yikun Palace to please Concubine Yi, what are you doing here? ”

Du Ruoyan smiled: "I went to Jingren Palace to find Concubine Hua's mother, and I happened to be passing by." I won't talk much to my mother. Du Ruo said and saluted Jinghao, and said to Ning'er: "I just came from Yongshou Palace, and the concubine is looking for you." ”

Ning Er brushed aside the few little palace maids who were still kneeling on the ground, and said to Jing Hao: "The slave maid will go back to Yongshou Palace first." After speaking, he got up and went in the opposite direction of Du Ruo without looking back.

Jing Hao looked at the two people in a daze, so angry that she almost jumped to her feet.

"They don't take this palace so seriously." Jing Hao glared fiercely ahead.

"Niangniang is angry, Du Guiren is also relying on Concubine Yi, and now that Ning'er has the momentum of the concubine, she is naturally rampant. Niangniang don't have to care, sooner or later they will bow their heads. ”

Jing Hao listened to Xin'er's persuasion, and the anger on her face gradually improved.

When Du Ruo and Tong Ruohua came to Yikun Palace together, Chunxi was practicing calligraphy.

The painting is very good, but the characters are very ordinary, no matter how you practice, there is no trace of charm in Xuan Ye's handwriting, just the shape.

"Sit down." Hearing the voice, Chun Xi knew that it was Tong Ruohua who was coming, but he didn't raise his head, but the pen paused.

Tong Ruohua and Du Ruo sat in the chairs next to them, drank a cup of tea, and saw Chunxi put down the pen and came towards them.

"Concubine Hua knows that this palace specially asked Du Guiren to invite you to Yikun Palace today, why?" As soon as Chunxi sat down, Miyi served a cup of hot tea, Chunxi opened the lid of the bowl, gently blew the floating tea leaves, took a small sip, and put down the teacup.

Tong Ruohua naturally knew Chunxi's intentions in her heart, since Tong Ruofei died of illness, this was the first time she had met Chunxi in private.

can be clear, but he still doesn't say it directly, but he only listens to Tong Ruohua and says: "Please Concubine Yi Niangniang speak clearly." ”

"Earlier, the emperor perfected the concubine system of the first emperor, and both the concubines and palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were implemented according to the system. The queen concubine has a queen, the middle palace is Kunning Palace, one imperial concubine, two concubines, four concubines, and six concubines. Nobles, always there, promised, there is no fixed number, and they live in the east and west signs. Chun Xi said slowly: "But." When the emperor sealed it for the first time, he canonized seven concubines, who were the lords of each palace. It's just that the only ones who got the title again were Bengong and Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong. Although the four concubines have already gathered, it is inevitable that there will be exceptions. Hua Concubine, can you understand? ”

Tong Ruohua was flattered and understood Chunxi's hints, and at the same time, she also knew that the benefits promised by Chunxi must be rewarded accordingly. Tong Ruohua understands that he is different from Du Ruo on his side. Du Ruo has always been heart-wrenching, and he brought down the concubine for Chunxi, so Du Ruo's status in Chunxi's mind is naturally different. And himself, although he has a higher position, is unsatisfactory because he is Tong Ruofei's sister.

Now, she has betrayed her sister and controlled the Tong family's power in the harem, but she can't do the same thing as her sister.

Although Chunxi is not a wicked person, he will never tolerate those who oppose him. Now, her purpose has been achieved. Tong Ruofei is no more, she is free. Wang Tianru was demoted to promise, and even the custody of the thirteenth elder brother was taken away, and he didn't have to be used anymore.

With such a clear reminder, Tong Ruohua naturally understood. For the rest of her life, as long as she is safe, she can have glory and wealth.

Tong Ruohua smiled at Chunxi and expressed her will: "Sister Yifei, rest assured, Ruohua is not a competitive person. If people don't offend me, I don't offend people, but I didn't get used to Jing Concubine in the past, and it was purely just to cause trouble for my sister, and I didn't want to be used by the villain and cause a big problem. In the future, Ruohua will naturally guard the glory of the Tong family and do well in Jingren Palace. ”

This is easier said than done. Chunxi can't say that he completely believes it, but he doesn't believe it either. only nodded lightly and said, "It's good that Concubine Hua understands." Things in the palace, Concubine Hua should not worry about it in the future. There have been too many gossips recently, and Concubine Hua should not take it to heart. ”

The rumors all say that Tong Ruohua is good, but everyone who understands knows that these words came out, but they were a big reproach to Tong Ruohua.

If either Chunxi or Yunyue is too careful, Tong Ruohua will definitely not be left alive. Tong Ruofei is dead, and the only thing the Tong family can rely on is Tong Ruohua, who must assist wholeheartedly, hoping that Tong Ruohua can add glory to the Tong family. It's just that at this time, Tong Ruohua has ambitions. Inevitably, there will be another Tong Ruofei in the future, and Yunyue and Chunxi will do whatever it takes to ruin Tong Ruohua.

The gains outweigh the losses, Tong Ruohua understands it very well. What's more, she doesn't care about such a thing as power at all. In the future, it would be best if she could really live a stable life in Jingren Palace.

She doesn't have Tong Ruofei's ambition, nor does she rarely have Xuanye's grace. Tong Ruohua's biggest wish is to leave the palace, but she also knows that it is just an unattainable dream.

Since Chunxi can give her a stability, why should she annoy others and make herself boring?
