Chapter 417: Disrespect
Wei Xi and Lu Feishuang are today's protagonists, and both of them are calm and atmospheric types, The whole ceremony was completed in one go, and there was nothing wrong.
Both Xianghua and the princess secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the other two side concubines, Xu Ruyu and Kong Qian, are relatively not so comfortable. The two of them had no chance to participate in this ceremony as side concubines, and when the gongs and drums were noisy outside, they could only sit in their rooms with their heads covered, of course, Wei Xi must have stayed at the crown princess tonight.
Kong Qian is the only daughter of Kong Shangren, the envoy of Jiangnan Jiedu, and she has never seen Wei Xi before, nor has she seen Lu Feishuang or Xu Ruyu. Unlike Zhu Jinxiu, Kong Qian was brought up by her mother because her father was away from home all the year round, so she was more obedient to her parents than Xu ordinary young women.
Before she came to the East Palace, her mother told her that the prince may not like her, but he will definitely take care of her face.
So Kong Qian was a little nervous, but she also continued to sit with peace of mind.
But Xu Ruyu felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, especially when the gongs and drums were sounding outside, she finally couldn't help it, lifted her hijab, and stood up suddenly.
Her maid tortoiseshell hurriedly persuaded: "Miss, you must be calm." How would it be nice for you to go out now? ”
Xu Ruyu exhaled angrily: "Why is she Lu Feishuang the crown princess?" Is she beautiful? Or is her dad better than mine? Or does the crown prince prefer him? Tell me! ”
Tortoiseshell said, "Miss, none of this is true. You look like a shy flower, and Master Xu is a scholar of Hallym University who is full of peach and plums, and a rare clear stream in the court. Even if Lu Feishuang is not good-looking, her speech and demeanor are dull, I don't believe that the prince will like her more. ”
Xu Ruyu cried: "Then why do you say that the emperor chose Lu Feishuang as the crown princess, and I am just a side concubine?" ”
The tortoiseshell girl is a little clever, and she has always been able to make up stories, so she thought about it for a while: "Of course the emperor has to take care of the overall situation, you see the three concubines of the prince, the family is both civil and military, there are old ministers of the previous dynasty, and there are also upstarts of the current dynasty, otherwise it will not look good to slap anyone's face." In my opinion, the emperor wants Lu Feishuang to be the crown princess now, but not necessarily in the future, Miss, your good days are ahead. ”
Xu Ruyu wiped her tears and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Tortoiseshell: "Throughout the ages, there has not been a holy decree that the crown princess will definitely become the queen. In terms of power, Master Xu is one of the best, and Miss's beauty is also first-class, if the crown princess falls out of favor or has three long and two short, isn't it certain who will fall into the flower? The emperor has decided like this now, maybe it is because he sees that the young lady is the last one to laugh, and first gives the Lu family a little face, so that they can continue to serve. ”
Xu Ruyu was stunned when she heard this, and when she calmed down and thought about it, it didn't seem to be completely unreasonable.
"Then you mean that the emperor and the crown prince want me to become the queen in the future?"
Tortoiseshell smiled: "What does Miss say, the only one who can become the queen is you." ”
Xu Ruyu finally broke into laughter, muttered a few times, and asked the tortoiseshell to put on her hijab again and sit back on the edge of the bed.
After sitting for a long time, Xu Ruyu heard the noisy movements of the gongs and drums much closer, it should be the prince and they came back to the East Palace.
Tortoiseshell said, "In another hour or two, Miss will be able to rest." ”
Although Fang had already vented a wave, he was still inevitably jealous and resentful at this time, rubbed his handkerchief and sat for half an hour, then lifted his head and lay down on the bed, and pulled the quilt over and covered his head tightly.
Out of sight is pure, and it will be fine to pass today. Xu Ruyu thought indignantly.
But the more she wanted to fall asleep, the more cranky her mind became, and when she was tossing and turning, she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
The tortoiseshell hurriedly got up to open the door, and Xu Ruyu heard her in the quilt shouting in panic, "His Royal Highness the Prince".
Xu Ruyu hurriedly turned over and sat up, the tassel hairpin ring on her head had not been removed, and it was a mess at this time. She hurriedly got out of bed, but her shoes were not properly put on, and she stumbled and almost fell. She knelt in front of Wei Xi and didn't even dare to raise her head.
"Participate...... See Your Highness! ”
Wei Xi lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Ruyu, who was trembling, and a subtle smile appeared on his lips.
She was so frightened at this moment, she couldn't even see that she dared to say such wild words to Princess Anping that day.
"Get up. I came to see you, but I didn't expect you to be asleep. ”
The tortoiseshell helped Xu Ruyu to stand up and explained: "Your Highness, Miss is a little unhappy today, and she can't hold it anymore before resting, please forgive me." ”
Wei Xi also glanced at the sharp-mouthed maid. The tortoiseshell thought that Wei Xi thought she was smart and clever to look at her like this, and quickly smiled obediently.
Xu Ruyu lowered her head and didn't dare to speak.
Wei Xi said: "Since it's uncomfortable, let's rest." I'll go next door and have a look. ”
Xu Ruyu bit her lip, she didn't want Wei Xi to leave like this, but she couldn't slap her face and say that she was fine, so she could only watch Wei Xi walk out with grievances and resentment.
The emperor didn't sleep much this night, the crown prince and the crown princess must come down, and there will be no turning back in the future.
"What's wrong with the Xiongnu and Yingzhou envoys today?"
"Back to the emperor, it's no different. Tomorrow they will leave for their respective journeys. ”
The emperor frowned: "This doesn't look like their style, I'm afraid there are other articles in it, and they are also staring at it on the way back, don't let your guard down." ”
"Yes."
The emperor doesn't believe that these two wolves have ambitions in other minds, but how they got together is unknown, and it is not known whether they have colluded for a long time.
Wei Xi fulfilled his promise, and sure enough, he sent two generous gifts to the princess and Xianghua later, the princess only glanced at it, left one or two of her favorites, and gave the rest to Xianghua.
Xianghua excused herself: "I have them all here, they are exactly the same." ”
The princess smiled: "We're about to get married, wouldn't it be better if everything is a pair?" Take it, get it. ”
Xianghua could only accept it with a smile.
However, Yang Yushi was proud of his career, but he encountered other troubles.
When Xianghua went to look for him, Yang Yu was thinking about things alone, and Xianghua saw that he was wrong when he entered the house, and asked him softly what was wrong.
Yang Yu said: "Today, the eldest brother told me that Zheng Yu was bullied in the school. ”
Xianghua was taken aback: "What's the matter?" ”
Yang Yu never thought that Zheng Yu would encounter such a thing. Because it is the Yang family's private school, almost all the children who come to study know each other, but Zheng Yu suddenly entered, even if the master greeted him in advance, the other students were still a little suspicious.
