Several husbands and daughters-in-law who have entered the palace are now hot upstarts in the court, they were all pulled up by A Che, so they are full of gratitude to the emperor and queen, and they are not often in the palace before, and they are not very favored, so after they came to the palace, they were respectful to He Zao, and never dared to slack off a little, this is actually Ah Che's arrangement, he thinks that He Zao, as a queen who has just come out, if he really meets those old fritter ladies first, maybe he will be wronged, So first practice your courage with these nouveau riche ladies.

His arrangement was very effective, He Zaoyi met people for three days in a row, and the wives of the civil and military ministers in the court probably came to about a dozen, and they all got along well, and they didn't hear anything unpleasant.

It wasn't until the fifth day that Ah Che relented and let Mrs. Ji and Ji Ruan Ruan enter the palace, the mother and daughter were smart and scheming, and the other was friendly with Hezao, so they got along well.

After He Zao saw Ji Ruan Ruan, he asked her about her current situation, "For more than a year, I have been outside, and I don't even have the time to talk to you, and I am afraid that I will be intercepted by others when I communicate with you or something, so I don't know anything about your current situation, how are you doing now?" ”

Ji Ruan Ruan's family affair can be regarded as a twist and turn, it was easy to settle a family affair before, but the man was a scumbag, so this family affair was withdrawn, and he was afraid of affecting her reputation, so the family sent her to Zhuangzi early to avoid the limelight, and at that time He went to Huaiqing Mansion early.

For various reasons, the two have not met until now, but this is a handkerchief, and it will not fade because of time, on the contrary, the two people meet again now, and they have a feeling that things are wrong, so they feel particularly sympathetic.

Ji Ruan Ruan's complexion was very good, with a smile on her face, wearing a bright dress, looking very energetic, after listening to He Zao's question, she glanced at her mother beside her, Mrs. Ji knew that her friendship with her could only be said to be average, if she wanted to win over the new queen in the future, she had to rely on her daughter, so she consciously took the initiative to stand up to make room for her daughter, she smiled, "I haven't been to the Empress Dowager for a long time, I'll go over and ask the Empress for forgiveness." ”

He had already waved his hand and asked people to take Mrs. Ji out, and when there were only two people left in the hall, Ji Ruan Ruan smiled and continued, "I'm doing business like you now." ”

He was already slightly surprised, and the other party covered his mouth and smiled, "Before, I thought it was incredible that my fifth brother likes to do business, and I think there is nothing good about dealing with money all day long, but when it is my turn, I think it's really good to count money every day to live." ”

He agreed with this very much, so he also laughed, "I'm like this too." He smiled and asked, "What business are you doing now?" ”

Ji Ruan Ruan said, "It's rouge gouache, there are many noble ladies in the capital, I opened a rouge gouache shop in the capital, and the business is not bad." At least I have something to do now, and I don't feel like I have nothing to do and panic like I used to. As he spoke, he said in the tone of a person who had come over, "In the most difficult time in the past, I lived alone in Zhuangzi, and I always felt that life was too boring, and sometimes I would think of some bad thoughts, but now I think about it and feel that the days at that time were like nightmares." ”

He had already held her hand and looked at her with pity, "I know that it is a sad thing for you to quit your family, but you must not be afraid of marriage because of this, have you said that you are determined now?" ”

She asked cautiously, but in fact, she already knew the answer in her heart, and sure enough, the other party shook his head, and his expression was not discouraged, "No, I'm not too interested in this matter now, and the rouge gouache shop can be said to be all I have now." ”

In fact, in terms of her current age, she is not very old, but in this ancient time, Ji Ruan Ruan has completely become an old girl, but He Zao is not worried, and smiles slightly, "Don't worry, I will help you pay attention to it in the future." ”

Ji Ruan Ruan also smiled bitterly, "Also, now that you have become the queen that everyone envies, the queen wants to be a matchmaker, and she is not too talented and handsome." ”

He Zao heard a sense of cynicism in her words, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Ji Ruan Ruan shook his head, "Nothing." ”

He Zao knew that she didn't want to say it, and she didn't force it, so she smiled and took her hand, "Let's go, now there are many flowers blooming in the imperial garden, and the scenery is beautiful, I'll take you to see it." ”

Ji Ruan Ruan covered her mouth and smiled, "In the past, we were quite cold when we came to the palace, so I basically didn't want to come in, I haven't seen the imperial garden a few times, but now it's a big light, and there is a queen mother who personally took me, and I can make people outside envy to death when I say it." ”

He had already smiled, "Go and bring Brother An, Brother Shun over, and show Miss Ji." ”

Ji Ruan Ruan nodded again and again, "Yes, the two little princes, I haven't seen each other for a long time, and now they must have grown up very big, I heard my fifth brother say that the two children can walk now, and time flies so fast." ”

He Zao asked, "What?" Your fifth brother still understands children's affairs? ”

Ji Ruan Ruan shook his head, "How can he understand?" He listened to what your fourth brother said, but speaking of which, we came to the palace today, and my fifth brother also wanted to come, but his legs were inconvenient, and he rarely went out, and he was a foreign man, and he couldn't enter the backyard of the deep palace, but when he came, he asked me to say hello to the queen. ”

He Zao smiled and said, "What's polite to me, speaking of which, I haven't seen your fifth brother for a long time, is he okay now?" Are you married? ”

Ji Ruan Ruan's expression darkened for a moment, turned his head to look away, and whispered, "You also know my fifth brother's body, who is a slightly better girl in the capital who is willing to marry him, those women have a pair of powerful eyes." ”

He didn't know what to say for a while, Ji Ruanyu was indeed old, and he was born with a disability and couldn't go out, so if some particular people were unwilling to marry their daughters to him.

He Zao asked, "I remember the method I said at the beginning, and your fifth brother walks like a normal person." ”

Ji Ruan Ruan shook his head, "It's only okay for a short time, if you really can't walk for a long time, you will definitely be exposed." ”

This topic was a bit heavy, so she quickly kept her mouth shut, and of course He Zao didn't want to ask any more, and took her to the imperial garden, while waiting for the nurse to bring Brother An'er and Brother Shun'er over.

Ji Ruan Ruan glanced at her from behind, with a slight pity in her eyes, her fifth brother has always concealed it very well, so she didn't know that the fifth brother had actually liked her silently in her heart, otherwise although the fifth brother's current conditions are not good, it is still easy to marry a daughter-in-law, but he has always insisted on dragging it out and refusing to marry.
