Volume 6 Conspiracy Chapter 24 Ambition
Gyeongin Palace Inside the dormitory
Tong Ruohua sat on the couch, holding a piece of watermelon in his hand, chewing slowly and leisurely.
Zhixia came in from outside the door, respectfully presented a brocade box, opened it lightly and handed it to Tong Ruohua.
"Niangniang, this is what the imperial concubine Niangniang just sent me." Zhixia said with a smile: "It's the hairpin of the Song Dynasty that Niangniang fancied last time." ”
Tong Ruohua only glanced at it and said disdainfully: "Let it go, how much time has passed." She was tired of wearing it and didn't like it, so she sent it to me. Hum! What do you do with me? ”
"Niangniang ......" Xia thought that Tong Ruohua would be very happy to see this hairpin, but she didn't expect to anger her. She couldn't understand it very much, and asked weakly: "Is this ...... Why? ”
"Do you think this thing is really rare in this palace?" Tong Ruohua picked up the hairpin inlaid with blue gems, pouted, and said, "It's just a mundane thing, and it's not an important thing." What about the antiques of the Song Dynasty, the palace said that he liked it that day, but it was just polite. It's already someone else's, so why should Hongu care? After all, it's a dead thing, and it's not interesting to be valuable. Take it away, and it will be an eyesore when the palace sees it. After speaking, Tong Ruohua threw the hairpin back into the brocade box, turned his head and took a piece of watermelon from the table and took a small bite to eat.
Zhixia didn't dare to disobey, so he had to put away the brocade box and put it in the cabinet. It seems that such a good thing can only be pushed to accumulate dust here in the future, which is a pity.
Tong Ruohua didn't take this matter to heart, but this matter somehow spread out.
Tong Ruofei was furious when he heard the news.
"Unexpectedly, she is now less and less interested in this palace." Tong Ruofei said angrily: "Is it possible, does she think that she has won the emperor's favor by virtue of her talent?" Now that he can be on an equal footing with Concubine Jing and Zhen Chang, and even suppress them, he becomes more and more arrogant. Bengong saw that she liked it and let people send it to her, and she was so grateful. ”
"Mother's anger." Lian Xue persuaded: "Concubine Hua is still young, and she has not been in the palace for a long time. It's easy to get grace, and naturally I have a higher heart than before. According to the slave maid, Hua Concubine misunderstood the mother. This hairpin has been placed here for more than half a month before it was sent over, and Hua Concubine must be careful. ”
In fact, what Lian Xue said is good, Tong Ruohua really thinks so. It's just that what she doesn't know is that Tong Ruohua doesn't care about these.
"Niangniang, think about it. Hua Concubine now has the emperor's favor, what's wrong with a little temper? Seeing that Tong Ruofei was silent, Lian Xue knew that she was thinking the same as herself, so she said again: "Concubine An was more temperamental than Concubine Hua today." An Concubine's posture, Hua Concubine can't reach it no matter what. An Concubine can obediently listen to her mother's words, not to mention that Hua Concubine is still your sister. Besides, the more Concubine Hua is like this, the less the Tong family will put the heavy responsibility on her. Then the Tong family still relies on you. As long as Hua Concubine doesn't do anything big to hurt nature and reputation, this temper is better than nothing. ”
Tong Ruofei gradually calmed down a little because of Lian Xue's words, thinking about it, it was indeed the case, but she was in a hurry.
"Okay, let the people of Jingren Palace watch Concubine Hua carefully, as long as she doesn't make trouble. Hongu is now only one last step away, and when Hongu wins the back position, it will be slowly*. Tong Ruofei said with a calm face: "Since Concubine Hua doesn't like that hairpin, it's okay." If there are good things in the future, let's send them to Concubine De and Zhen Chang there. ”
"Niangniang, where is the concubine?" Lian Xue reminded carefully: "Niangniang hasn't met Concubine Jing alone for a long time. ”
"Hongu has forgotten about her." Tong Ruofei suddenly remembered Wang Tianru's figure, and he had forgotten such a person. Is it that the harem is too busy, or is she no longer as trusting and valued as she used to be in Wang Tianru?
Over the years, Wang Tianru has followed her to work hard and give advice, without merit and hard work. Tong Ruofei suddenly found that because of Lan Xin and Zhang Jia Chuzhen by his side, he had forgotten about her recently.
"You go to the private treasury and pick up some good items to send to Concubine Jing." Tong Ruofei commanded again.
"The slave maid listened to Shumo beside Jing Concubine and said that Jing Concubine's Ama was interested in the position of the servant of the ministry." Lianxue said again.
Tong Ruofei glared at Lian Xue and said unhappily: "What, when did you become a lobbyist for Jing Concubine?" How did you help her so much today? ”
"The slave doesn't dare, the slave is just a messenger. It's just that Shumo talked to the slave maid, and the slave just remembered it, so she said it to the mother. It was the slave who lost her word. Knowing that she had a lot of mouths, Lian Xue didn't dare to speak anymore after explaining, and knelt on the ground tremblingly, with her head down.
Tong Ruofei is most annoyed by such a talkative minion, how could Lian Xue not understand the truth after following her for many years. Tong Ruofei also knew that the reason why Lian Xue spoke for Jing Concubine today was because she received the benefits of Jing Concubine. She stopped scolding and waved her hand to get her out.
After thinking about it alone for a long time, Tong Ruofei made up his mind, called Ni Hai in, and instructed him: "Lian Xue broke the rules today, and Bengong Nian has followed Bengong for many years, and she will not be severely punished." You privately remind her that if she does it again, this palace will not be lenient. ”
Ni Hai understood Tong Ruofei's thoughts, she was going to enter Kunning Palace. Once Tong Ruofei is sealed, then these minions around her will also follow Jin Gui. There are naturally a lot of people who stutter, and when the time comes, Lianxue will still be like this, which will only make people more and more annoying. If you don't change it, I'm afraid that the aunt in charge of Kunning Palace will be replaced in the future.
Now it's only like this when I am on an errand in Chengqian Palace, but I can pay it back in the future?
Tong Ruofei is no better than others, she knows how to buy people's hearts, but she can't see such a trick. is so sloppy that people can see through it at a glance. Since you have accepted bribes from others, you should do things sincerely, not so perfunctory.
Tong Ruofei here is dissatisfied with Tong Ruohua, and Tong Ruohua and Jing Hao over there also look at each other.
In the long street, the thick palace walls could not stop the two of them from flying sparks.
"What's the matter, Concubine Jing is pregnant now? Or do you feel like you're superior? Do you have to let this palace let you? Tong Ruohua raised her eyebrows coldly, and felt annoyed when she saw Jing Hao's gentle and gentle appearance, pretending to be virtuous. It's really the same as her sister, isn't it Jinghao who is her own sister. Otherwise, how is a virtue?
Jing Hao sat in the step, smiled slightly, looked at Tong Ruohua's eyes and looked very soft, only to hear her whisper softly: "Concubine Hua is too worried, but there must always be a first come, first come." Obviously, the main palace came first, so naturally you should go to the main palace first. Concubine Hua might as well let go, the palace is still in a hurry to see the emperor. ”
Tong Ruohua disdainned, smiled slightly sarcastically, and said slowly: "The palace has just come out of the Qianqing Palace, and the emperor is taking a lunch break at this time." Concubine Yi personally cooked soup for the emperor in the imperial dining room, and she couldn't even see the emperor in the palace. Does Concubine Jing think she can see it? ”
"Concubine Hua can't get in, how do you know that the palace can't get in?" The smile on Jing Hao's face gradually disappeared, but the tone of his voice remained unchanged, and he pretended to be calm and said, "Concubine Hua, you don't always look at others with your own thoughts. Now the emperor likes more than just Concubine Yi. You and I are the best example of this. What about Concubine Yi? Could it be that you are afraid? It came out like this. It's ridiculous to say it. ”
thought that her words would provoke Tong Ruohua's counterattack, but who knew that she smiled calmly, turned around and instructed Zhi Tao: "Let's go, let's let go, let Hua Concubine go first." ”
Jing Hao was a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it, and smiled proudly. Carrying her steps gradually farther away, I heard Tong Ruohua say again: "Let's not go yet, the scenery here is good, stop and rest." ”
Zhi Tao looked around and sighed helplessly. In addition to the high palace walls, there is only a blue sky overhead. And it's hot enough that her master is willing to rest here.
But Zhitao also understood Tong Ruohua's thoughts, and did not persuade her, and quietly accompanied her.
However, at the time of a pillar of incense, I saw the quiet good who went away and returned from the bustle, and came back from the direction when he went.
Tong Ruohua was already drowsy, and when she heard the movement, she raised her eyes and looked over.
"Yo, why did Concubine Jing come back so soon?" Tong Ruohua saw Jing Hao sitting in the middle of the steps, his face was full of unhappiness, he didn't feel happy, and sneered.
Jing Hao saw that Tong Ruohua was still there, and was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, when she came back in a circle, she was still there. Jing Hao naturally understands in her heart that even if they are evenly matched now, they have their own favors. But every time they meet Chunxi, they can't get half of the love in front of Xuan Ye.
She already knew that Chunxi was in the Qianqing Palace, and she originally planned to go back so as not to be embarrassed. Who would have thought that Tong Ruohua was still waiting in place to see her jokes.
In any case, the momentum can't be lost: "This palace is not as boring as you, and you are still staying outside on such a hot day." ”
"Didn't you go to see the emperor just now? Do you see people? Got talking? Tong Ruohua ignored Jing Hao's words, and asked again.
Jing Hao's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "The emperor is resting, and he hasn't woken up yet." How did Hongu disturb him? Naturally, it will be a little later. ”
No matter what, Jing Hao would not admit that she didn't even enter the gate of Chengqian Palace. I just spared a circle at the door, used a cup of tea in the imperial tea room and left.
Tong Ruohua covered her mouth and smiled, how could she not know that what Jing Hao said was all lies. But he didn't poke it, but said with a smile: "I see." ”
"Humph! Concubine Hua has nothing to do, so let's go back to your Jingren Palace as soon as possible. Jing Hao raised his hand and motioned for his attendants to leave quickly.
After leaving quietly, Tong Ruohua laughed out loud, unconsciously happier again, and couldn't stop saying: "It's really a master who wants to die to save face and suffer crimes." Hum! Count you in the past today, and next time you will have to watch a good show. ”
After laughing for a while, he ordered: "Zhitao, let's go back." After the play is over, it's time for the palace to go back and rest. ”
