Chapter 163 Du Ruo entered the palace of King Yu
Welcomed a concubine into the door, Yuwangfu and the usual time is not much different, but in the back of the main courtyard connected to the small cross-courtyard called Mei Zhai under the eaves of the eaves to show festivity, Mei Zhai is not big, called the cross-courtyard, in fact, it is just a three-room hut that does not even have an ear room, out of the Ming Hall and the bedroom, and another small room is placed in a small bed that can only sleep for a maid, that is, there is not even a place to put a few larger vases to fill the scene.
Although Du Ruo's identity as a concubine is that of a concubine, he can already live in a ** by himself or with other concubines In the small courtyard, according to the regulations, there is only one princess and one side concubine in Yuwangfu, Du Ruo's first concubine can live in a smaller courtyard, but in order to be able to firmly control Du Ruo in his own hands, He Ping'an thought about it and arranged Du Ruo in a small cross-courtyard behind the main courtyard where he lives, so that Du Ruo's every move will fall under the supervision of the people in the main courtyard as much as possible.
Du Ruo was carried into the palace of King Yu by a small sedan chair in a green cloth from the side door, and this is how he officially became a concubine for Du Ruo, which can be called a day of great joy for Du Ruo, Du Ruo's identity, not to mention wearing red, even silver and red can not be worn, can only wear a light pink and white-edged blouse, and the lower body is just a royal blue lotus woven gold skirt, not to mention a big red hijab, after entering He Ping'an kowtowed, even if it is a ceremony, from then on it will be the concubine of Yu Wang Du.
When he entered the palace, the sky was already dark, and the lights in the main courtyard were bright, He Ping'an was wearing a silver-red shirt, and under it was a set of red plum blossom woven gold skirts, and the materials were the first batch of Lu silk that had just been paid tribute this year.
He Ping'an's face was rubbed with a thick layer of fat powder, making it almost impossible to see what her true expression was, but only He Ping'an himself knew that when she saw Du Ruo giving her a respectful concubine salute, there was still a little bit of bad taste in her heart, she had always refused to admit that she still loved Lu Yuan in her heart, but now at this moment she really understands that although she has a deep disappointment in Lu Yuan because of Brother Yu'er's affairs, she can't change her heart to still think about Lu Yuan, after all, this is the first and only man she fell in love with in her life。
Lu Yuan came back halfway through the salute, and after coming back, he also entered the main courtyard for the first time, He Ping'an was stunned for a moment before he instructed the maid next to him: "The prince is back, quickly show the prince a seat." ”
The personal maid on the other side hurriedly moved the chair over and side by side with He Ping'an's chair, and didn't dare to look at He Ping'an, two years ago, when He Ping'an just married Lu Yuan, almost every day Lu Yuan came back, he would return to the main courtyard, and every time Lu Yuan entered the house, someone would hand the news to He Ping'an, He Ping'an began to be busy with Zhang Luo, Lu Yuan would personally remove the robe for him as soon as he came in, and he never refused to fake his hands to others, but now it has reached the point of indifferently letting the maid move a chair casually。
Lu Yuan had already prepared for He Ping'an to have such an attitude, and said in a deep voice: "You can take the initiative to ask the concubine to enter the mansion to serve this king, and this king is also very surprised." ”
He Ping'an didn't raise his eyelids when he heard Lu Yuan say such words, and he was still fiddling with the silk plum blossoms on the red woven gold skirt, but his mouth was still open and closed, as if he responded unconsciously: "The concubine is the princess of Yu, and she should be spreading branches and leaves for the prince, but the concubine is not blessed and virtuous, and she failed to give birth to a healthy child for the prince, so the concubine should naturally take the initiative to add some people to the prince's side, not for anything else, but also for the son of the king of Yu." ”
Lu Yuan's hand secretly clenched into a fist at his side, he was annoyed that He Ping'an, who seemed to care about nothing, although He Ping'an was arrogant and capricious, but he did not lose that true temperament in his willfulness, and occasionally coquettishly with him, in fact, although he sometimes felt upset, but he still felt very happy in retrospect, although He Ping'an was not noisy or noisy now, but Lu Yuan always felt that there was something missing from He Ping'an, but he felt more depressed in his heart, especially He Ping'an actually said that it was her who gave birth to Brother Yu'er who was not in good health。
"Do you have anything else to explain to the Du family?"
He Ping'an was stunned for a moment: "It's nothing, I personally instructed the Du family to open up branches and leaves for the prince, and strive to add two more big fat boys to the prince, and two more brothers to Brother Yu." ”
"Since the princess has nothing to say, then you can go back to your Meizhai first, and this king will sit here with the princess for a while, and then go to Meizhai later. ”
Du Ruonuo turned around and went out, He Ping'an asked Concubine Qing for her to come, Concubine Qing originally had the intention of inserting her own eyeliner in Yuwangfu, and she agreed without much hesitation, and turned around and arranged for a third-class maid from Jinse Palace to be released from the palace to give Du Ruo, the new concubine, a gift.
Du Ruo returned to Mei Zhai, where she lived, and looked around, this room was not even as good as the place where she lived when she lived in Jinse Palace, at least there were many treasures in that place, and there were many things that Qing Concubine rewarded in the end, although in the end, Qing Concubine also let the maid who was rewarded to her Pink Peach packed it in a box and brought it to Yuwang Mansion, but just looking at Mei Zhai's one acre and three points of land, there was no place to put it out, Du Ruo's heart was not a taste for a while.
Fan Tao saw that her face was not very good, and hesitated for a moment to speak: "Is the concubine not feeling well, or is she reluctant to leave her mother and come to Yuwang's mansion?"
Du Ruo was stunned for a moment, her face was very bad, maybe because she was pregnant, but more of an uncertainty about the future.
Raising his head, he suddenly saw a slight crack on Mei Zhai's old wall, and from that crack actually crawled out of an ivy, looking at the ivy, Du Ruo's heart was suddenly touched a little, such a broken house, such a narrow crack, there would be ivy that could grow, isn't this just like her Du Ruo?
What did she want? When she first came to the imperial capital, she met Xu Huanche, who was the most unlikely to forget in his life, when she had not seen all the prosperity, this fair-skinned boy with a shallow dimple on his face when he smiled, what she couldn't forget the most was his smile, but his smile always appeared on his face because of He Chang'an, and she Du Ruo was nothing in his eyes. At the beginning, she planned step by step, from falling into the water in the palace to being a personal maid beside Concubine Qing to give advice, only she knew how hard the road had been for more than two years, but all this was just to make her look like a pheasant who would never be on the stage, not a phoenix at least a beautiful peacock, but now she has become the concubine of King Yu and the person who is the master of others, but she is getting farther and farther away from the dimple smile in her heart that she can't forget, even if Xu Huanche has not yet discussed marriage.
But she has no way out, now she is not alone, she still has a child in her belly, if she retreats, she can imagine what kind of life she will face, Lu Yuan will be disgusted with her, He Ping'an will feel that she has no use value, then she and the child will die without a place to be buried, Du Ruo gritted his teeth, since there is no way out, then be the ivy in the crack.
"Pink, go get my needlework. ”
Fan Tao was stunned for a moment: "Concubine Shu, we are living in Meizhai now, and the candle flame in the section is not so sufficient, or you can do needlework when the sun is better at noon tomorrow." Besides, today is your good day, you still have to freshen up and dress up in the bedroom and wait for the prince to come. ”
Du Ruo shook her head, a sneer in her heart, no one except herself knew that she was pregnant, even if Lu Yuan really came over tonight, what could she do with her? Although she longed to be favored by Lu Yuan, and gained a firm foothold in the palace with this favor, she didn't want to hurt the child in her womb at all, besides, with her understanding of Lu Yuan, it didn't mean that Lu Yuan, who was dressed like a fairy, would be tempted, how to make Lu Yuan tempted, she naturally had her own way:" There is not enough candle flame in the example, and there is no need to add candle flames, just use the wind lamp that is lit now, and I can get closer to do needlework. ”
Fan Tao opened her mouth for a moment, but in the end she didn't say anything more, hesitated for a moment and went over to take the needlework basket.
In the main courtyard, He Ping'an and Lu Yuan sat silently opposite each other for a long time, and the atmosphere was so depressed that the personal maid standing next to him felt almost out of breath, but Lu Yuan spoke first: "This king is going to see Brother Yu." ”
Lu Yuan rarely comes to the main courtyard, and Brother Yu has always been raised in the main courtyard, so from Brother Yu'er was born to now he has grown to fourteen months, Lu Yuan has hugged him the number of times he may have checked with both hands, it is rare that Lu Yuan offered to go to see Brother Yu, He Ping'an was happy in his heart, but he didn't know how to express it, and he was stunned for a moment before saying: "The prince wants to go to see Brother Yu, then Brother Yu will definitely be able to sleep more peacefully." ”
But when these words fell on Lu Yuan's ears, he couldn't help but think a little too much, thinking that He Ping'an was going to tell him that Brother Yu'er was asleep now, so that he wouldn't disturb the child's sleep.
Lu Yuan shook his head: "Forget it, since Brother Yu'er is asleep, then this king won't disturb him sleeping, but you, I haven't seen this king for so long, don't you have anything to say to this king?"
When Lu Yuan was away, He Ping'an had been thinking in his heart, Brother Yu could eat a little egg custard in a few months, Brother Yu would turn over in bed in a few months, Brother Yu would crawl in a few months, and tell him when Lu Yuan came over, but she didn't know why she didn't know what to say at all when Lu Yuan asked, so she silently picked up the scissors and cut the candle wick a little shorter, and then spoke: " If the prince has anything else to do, let's go and get busy first, the concubine will go to see Brother Yu later, he has been a little cold recently, and he is not sleeping very peacefully. ”
Lu Yuan burst into flames again, rushed out of the main courtyard, and punched the pillars under the verandah of the main courtyard hard, until he felt that his hand hurt, and rubbed his red fist with his other hand.
The little servant beside him looked at Lu Yuan like this, and smiled bitterly in his heart, this mansion can make His Royal Highness King Yu, who has always been moody, like this, I am afraid that only the princess has this ability, and only Lu Yuan feels that his hand hurts, so he dares to speak: "If the prince feels that his anger is not going well tonight, then the slave will send someone to tell Concubine Du Shu in Mei Zhai, you will be in the study tonight to deal with official business, let her rest early, what do you think?"
Lu Yuan leaned his body against the pillar, his hands on his forehead weakly, why did He Ping'an become like this now? Thinking that this woman who no longer seemed to be angry at all was actually his concubine, and he still had to live with this woman for the rest of his life, he felt depressed.
Xiao Wu happened to mention Du Ruo at this time, and her mind suddenly appeared that day when he pulled her up on the ice, she was flattered, and that day when he was on the cold table in the study, although Du Ruo was frightened, but he was still gentle and careless to cater to his roughness, and sighed in his heart, Du Ruo is a rare woman who can leave a trace in his heart, that is, so many women who have served him before, even if it is Song Duanping, he is just a routine for her。
He can be regarded as having read countless people, but the one who really left an impression was He Ping'an Du Ruo, and ...... Hibiscus.
coughed lightly, and said to the little servant: "No need, this king doesn't have any official documents to deal with today, so let's go to Meizhai." He turned around and went to Mei Zhai first, but he didn't want to find that the sky was already dark, but Mei Zhai only lit up a faint light like a bean.
Pushing the door in, Lu Yuan saw such a scene, next to a not very bright wind lamp, Du Ruo did not apply powder, lowered his head and waited to do needlework, his hair was just loosely braided at the back of his head, and he forgot two locks of loose hanging down next to his forehead, which looked extremely pitiful, and the woman was very focused on needlework, and even the voice of Lu Yuan coming in was not heard.
Looking at this situation, Lu Yuan's heart suddenly softened, and he stepped forward and gently held Du Ruo's hand holding the embroidery shed: "Why are you still doing needlework so late?"
