It was snowing heavily outside, and it was much warmer inside the house because of the charcoal basin burning.

On the warm couch, Tong Ruohua was crooked on the emerald green embroidered pillow, holding the stove with both hands. At the end of her foot, a little palace maid was pinching her feet, and occasionally her strength was heavier, and a trace of bitterness appeared on her jade-like little face, and she scolded in a low voice.

At the table opposite, there was a palace maid making tea, and the hot tea was brought over on a lacquer plate and served in front of her. Tong Ruohua didn't raise his head, lazily stretched out his right hand and took it, took a sip lightly, and scolded: "Bastard things, just serve them like this, do you want to burn the little master." ”

"Slaves and maids deserve to die, please forgive your sins." The little palace maid was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt on the ground, and she had served her for so long, but she could never get used to her temperament. In the past, when I drank tea, I had to ask someone to hold it for a long time before I took it to drink, and I felt that the tea was cold. Today, I deliberately served it while it was hot, thinking that she was the same as before, she was going to hold it for a while before drinking, but she didn't know that she had just brought it over, and she took it and drank it, can it not be hot. I was wronged in my heart, but I had to suffer it, so I had to bear it silently.

"Get down." Tong Ruohua roared angrily: "Go and call Ni Hai, I have something to ask." ”

"Father-in-law Ni is the leader of the Chengqian Palace, the eunuch, and the person next to the imperial concubine, the slave and maid are called, can he come." The little palace maid felt aggrieved, and only sighed that her life was so bitter, and she was assigned to Chengqian Palace to serve such a difficult master.

Tong Ruohua glanced at her, even more displeased, and her voice was a little louder: "His master is my sister, not to mention that I am the master, he is just a slave, the master asked the slave to come over to ask questions, and he dare not come?" ”

The little palace maid turned around helplessly, sighing that she was stupid, why bother to ask that sentence more, isn't the answer obvious. It's just that I don't know what to say when I see Ni Hai for a while.

When the little palace maid found Ni Hai, Ni Hai was waiting in front of Tong Ruofei, Tong Ruofei was practicing calligraphy, and Ni Hai was grinding ink for her. Seeing this scene, the little palace maid was secretly happy in her heart, with Tong Ruofei here, presumably Ni Hai would not make it difficult for her.

"The slave maid greets the imperial concubine." The little palace maid saluted respectfully, waiting for Tong Ruofei's response.

Tong Ruofei glanced up at her, knowing that she was the person next to Tong Ruofei, and asked her directly: "Is there anything wrong with Huaguiren?" ”

"Back to my mother." When the little palace maid heard Tong Ruofei ask, she was overjoyed and explained her intentions: "The little lord asked Father-in-law Ni to go over, saying that he had something to ask." ”

Tong Ruofei stopped the pen that practiced calligraphy, straightened up to look at her, snorted, put the pen back on the pen stand, and then slowly instructed Ni Hai: "You go." ”

"The slave will go back as soon as he goes." Ni Hai went out with the little palace maid, but he kept a black face, very unhappy.

After entering Tong Ruohua's door, Ni Hai yawned and asked for An: "Slave Ni Hai, please be safe." ”

"Grandpa Ni is here, come in." Tong Ruohua heard Ni Hai's voice, and hurriedly sat up straight, letting the little palace maid who had been pinching her feet go out first, leaving Ni Hai alone.

Ni Hai asked respectfully: "I don't know what the little master wants to ask when he is looking for a slave?" ”

Tong Ruohua said with a smile: "Recently, I heard about something and wanted to ask for a certificate to Grandpa Ni. ”

"Little master, please speak."

"I heard that Jing Guiren has been walking around the Qianqing Palace recently, although I haven't heard of her sleeping, but there is a rumor outside, saying that the emperor has ...... with her" Tong Ruohua wanted to speak and stopped, but she was really a little speechless.

"Since the little master already knows, why bother to ask Ni Hai again." Ni Hai pretended not to know and asked knowingly.

Tong Ruohua smiled awkwardly: "Don't you want to know in more detail." ”

"The imperial concubine Niangniang said that if the little master wants to know about the big and small things in the palace, even if he goes to ask the mother in person, why bother to ask the slave. The minions know the same thing as the little master about the things outside. Ni Hai said politely.

Tong Ruohua was stunned, but he didn't expect Ni Hai to not take himself in his eyes like this. Such a trivial matter, if she really asked that sister, if she didn't get an answer, she might be reprimanded, where could she go.

But Ni Hai's attitude really aroused Tong Ruohua's dissatisfaction, she got up from the warm couch, walked to Ni Hai's side, and lowered her voice and said, "Father-in-law Ni is unwilling to speak?" Father-in-law Ni is embarrassing me now, is it because of my sister's relationship, or do you think that I Tong Ruohua can't speak and can't be the master in this Chengqian Palace? You don't have to work for me? Father-in-law Ni has to weigh clearly, why was I sent to the palace? And you, as the most powerful eunuch around the imperial concubine, is there anything unclear about the big and small things in the palace? I'm surrounded by people who don't have much use, who can find out what is going on, but not all the truth. If Father-in-law Ni can tell the truth today and tell the little master what he knows, the benefits of his father-in-law will definitely be indispensable in the future. ”

Ni Hai was unmoved, but he didn't think about not saying it, he just deliberately made things difficult. Hearing her say this, she secretly laughed at herself in her heart, but said on her lips: "What the little master said is extremely true. Whatever the little master wants to hear, the slave must tell the truth. ”

Tong Ruohua thought that he had moved Ni Hai, and felt proud in his heart: "Say, what is the situation on the Jing Guiren's side." ”

In fact, Ni Hai really didn't know much about this matter, and the most he knew was that Jing Hao met Xuan Ye outside the palace, stayed together for one night, and returned to the palace together. In the past few days, Jing Hao has indeed gone to Qianqing Palace every day, but he has never seen her stay overnight, and he is still secretly investigating the strange matter, but he didn't expect Tong Ruohua to ask about this matter today.

Ni Hai told Tong Ruohua what he knew, and the other party was silent, so Ni Hai found an excuse to slip away. returned to Tong Ruofei and told him everything that had just happened.

The second day was the day when the concubines were discussing in the Chengqian Palace. Early in the morning, the outside of the Chengqian Palace was lively.

By the time she arrived, the people in the house had already arrived. She sat down beside Yunyue and said in her ear, "There will be a good show to watch in a while." ”

Yunyue was a little inexplicable, but when she raised her eyes and saw Jing Hao coming in, she saw that Tong Ruohua was looking at her wrongly, and she understood it in her heart. Turning around and smiling at Chunxi, he had a knowing expression.

The concubines sat down, Tong Ruofei said a few words, picked up the important words and finished speaking, and then asked everyone to disperse.

As soon as Chunxi got up, he saw Jing Hao and Tong Ruohua in front of him standing up at the same time, and walked to the door at the same time. Tong Ruohua took advantage of Jing Hao's inattention, stretched out her foot and tripped her, Jing Hao's whole person was unstable, and fell straight out of the door.

Jing Hao covered his mouth and smiled, and said, "Oh, why did you fall so carelessly." Don't break that face, if you scratch your face, be careful that the emperor doesn't want to see it again. ”

"What are you doing standing still, quickly help Jing Guiren up." Tong Ruofei only felt extremely helpless, she knew that Tong Ruohua was reckless, but she didn't expect that she would use such indiscriminate means to do it in front of so many people, to humiliate Jing Hao, it was really humiliating.

Jing Hao didn't fight back, but after being helped up, he checked whether his body was scratched, and when he saw that he was fine, he was ready to go out again.

Jing did this time, Tong Ruohua only felt that she was being ignored, but she didn't expect that she didn't cry or make trouble when she fell, so she patted the ashes and left. Where did Tong Ruohua respond, and hurriedly chased after him: "Jing Guiren has broken his brain?" Can't even speak? ”

Jing Hao glanced back at her, unusually calm, as if what had just happened at all.

"Why, did it really fall? They didn't even speak. The corners of Tong Ruohua's mouth hooked up with a smile, and he laughed to his heart's content: "Hurry up and call a doctor to come over and take a look at Jing Guiren." ”

"The imperial doctor is indeed invited, but not for me, but to show the mouth of the noble person, there is a smell from afar." Jing Hao rolled his eyes at her, and turned around to leave after such a sentence.

"Stop." Tong Ruohua was furious when she heard this, and took a few steps forward to stop her, but was stopped by Tong Ruofei's personal palace maid.

"Let's go back to the house first, we should have enough trouble today."

Such a painless reminder, where can she stop the angry Tong Ruohua, she pushed away the hand of the palace maid who was blocking her, and wanted to grab Jing Hao's back.

"Stop." Tong Ruofei scolded: "There are palace rules in the palace, this is not Tong's house, not my own home, there are so many mothers and masters on the side, isn't it shameful enough for the nobles." ”

Tong Ruohua was stunned, she was angry when she saw Jing Hao, where could she remember that so many people around her were watching. Those small actions just now, I'm afraid they were all used as jokes, and they said those harsh words, maybe how everyone arranged her in their hearts at this time, and they couldn't escape the words "jealousy" for favor. But her heart is full of resentment, venting in five places, where can she manage so much.

"Huagui is young and ignorant, so he is naturally impulsive, and the imperial concubine is angry. If you want to think about it, you won't take it to heart, right? Chun Xi took two steps forward and stood between Tong Ruohua and Tong Ruofei, his tone unhurried.

Jing Hao heard the voice of Chunxi, also stopped and turned around, and said softly: "Naturally not." ”

"That's good, I'm afraid that the sisters will be angry because of a little thing." Tong Ruofei smiled embarrassedly, and said: "The sister is spoiled, and she is not used to life in the palace, so it's good that Jing Guiren doesn't blame her." ”

"It's been almost a year since I entered the palace, but I haven't gotten used to the life in the palace, it seems that the noble people still need to work hard." Chun Xi lowered his head and smiled, and after speaking, he walked out, and when he walked to Jing Hao's side, he said, "This palace will send Jing noble back." ”

"Thank you, mother." Jing Hao saluted, and walked back with Chunxi and Yunyue.

Tong Ruohua watched them walk away blankly, and the anger in her heart deepened. Tong Ruofei scolded: "I have thought about it before doing things in the future, and this palace doesn't want to see the same thing a second time." This is the Royal Palace, not a place where you can do whatever you want. ”

"For so many years, hasn't my sister just done whatever she wants in the palace?" Tong Ruohua had no place to spill the stuffiness in her stomach, and at this time, she felt even more uncomfortable when she heard Tong Ruofei come to teach her a lesson again. roared back: "Sister, you better take care of yourself first, if my sister is smart enough to please the emperor, Ama will not send me to the palace." ”

"You ......" Tong Ruofei was angry, but she was powerless to refute, and only watched her turn her head and walk away.
