After the sedan chair came down, Ruan Yuyi raised her skirt and walked forward with a bow, looking neither humble nor overbearing.
"Your Highness, forgive me."
She is dressed plainly, but her movements are graceful and charming. Her appearance is still the same as before, so people who are familiar with her will not recognize her. However, because she was raised in the palace with gold and jade, she has a youthful look.
It faded a lot.
Zhaorong lowered her eyes and looked at the dress on her knees. Under the brocade cloth, she was inevitably swollen due to her pregnancy.
"Is this the end?"
When the two of them were compared, she suddenly felt unhappy. She acted like the eldest princess and sneered, "It seems that my sister has not suffered enough from Concubine Shu, so today, I will come to you on behalf of the emperor."
Establish rules."
She glanced at Bai He.
Bai He understood, nodded slightly, walked around behind Ruan Yuyi, raised his feet and moved them towards the crook of her knees.
She really never expected Zhaorong to be so carefree on the day of the palace banquet. Without noticing, she fell to her knees. Her knees hit the bluestone floor, her body leaned down, and she stretched out her hands to support herself on the ground, barely holding herself steady.
body.
Nowadays, no one in the palace knows that Ruan Jieyu is a holy favorite. The palace attendants all took a deep breath and exclaimed that something was wrong. Even the eunuch who was carrying the sedan chair for Zhaorong had cold sweat on his palms and almost let go.
go.
The sedan swayed.
Zhao Rong provoked several more curses.
Bai He was frightened when she saw it, but it was difficult to advise her to be careful about the fetal contamination in front of others. After all, the royal family had not yet recognized the marriage, and even if the eldest princess was a direct descendant of the royal family, the fetus in her belly was not honorable.
She rolled up her sleeves and raised her hand to greet Ruan Yuyi.
Ruan Yuyi caught a glimpse of the figure in the distance, her eyes flashed slightly, and she lowered her eyelashes, not intending to resist.
Bai He's hand was holding the wind, but was suddenly grasped by a strong hand. The force almost crushed her wrist. She was in pain and looked away fiercely.
This glance extinguished his arrogance.
Wen Zhi smiled broadly and said slowly, "Her Royal Highness the Princess is so majestic." His high-pitched voice had a long drawl, which was dismissive and lazy but made people's hair stand on end.
Bai He said in a daze, "Wen...Eunuch Wen."
This Wen Pheasant is someone close to His Majesty. He knows it. There is nothing that His Majesty doesn't know.
Only then did Zhao Rong feel a little panicked, but still refused to be humiliated, he raised his chin with an arrogant expression, "I am teaching an ignorant concubine, and it will be your turn as an eunuch to take charge of it!"
After the new emperor gradually gained power, Wen Zhi, as the new emperor's confidant, no one dared to insult him like this anymore.
Although it is harsh, he is also tolerant.
He smiled wider, showing decent respect on his face, "Our family is an eunuch, and he is also the eunuch of this emperor. What he preaches is his emperor's words, and what he expresses is his emperor's intention. In the imperial city, even
The whole country, not to mention the concubines, even bricks and tiles, they all belong to today."
"——Princess, do you think you can compete with His Majesty?"
His tone was light and easy, and he easily pinned the blame on Zhao Rong.
Zhaorong was no match for his sharp tongue, smooth and sophistry, his breath was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't even think about cursing anything.
At this moment, Ruan Yuyi was helped up by Mu Xiang. Xu was kneeling very hard just now, and her knees felt weak for a while. You don't need to think about it to know what kind of black and purple mess it is.
"Hey," a clear female voice came from the distance, "It's so lively here."
It was Concubine Shu's sedan carriage that had arrived. She had a golden hairpin and a gorgeous dress, leaning in the soft sedan chair. She didn't need to carry any empty airs, but she was also very elegant.
She looked around for a few times, then met Zhaorong's gaze and asked, "Your Highness, what's going on here?"
Although she had only met Zhao Rong once or twice, she had heard a lot about her. It was said that this princess was used to being arrogant and arrogant. Judging from the attitude of the palace people, they were also afraid and disrespectful towards her, and they tried their best to avoid her.
Walk.
The most shocking time was when she suddenly wanted to eat bear paws, but because the cook didn't cook them properly, she became so angry that she ordered her confidant eunuch to pick up a hairpin and pierce the cook's hand.
But now that the Queen Mother is weak, she is not seen to be restrained.
It can be seen that she is blinded by power and cannot distinguish the situation. She still thinks that she is the legitimate princess who is praised by thousands of people.
Everyone present in the palace bowed respectfully to Concubine Shu.
Zhaorong couldn't hear the sarcasm in her words, but because of her current status, he didn't dare to sneer at her. Because he took a breath and said, "Now that Concubine Shu is here, this rude little concubine will be handed over to her."
You just cook."
After saying this, she ordered the sedan to get up and leave.
Concubine Shu watched the eldest princess leave in the soft sedan with calm eyes. She turned to Ruan Yuyi and said, "Is my sister okay?" She saw the situation from a distance and knew what happened.
The young lady had not yet wiped away the tears she had just shed. She was about to bow and bow, but she stumbled because of the bruise on her knee, causing her hairpin to dangle wildly. She looked like a weak willow supporting the wind.
She lowered her eyes and smiled softly, saying that she was fine, "Thank you for your concern, sister. It's okay."
Concubine Shu hummed, looked at her for a long time, and said, "Actually, you don't need to be afraid of her. She is just using the same empty airs as before. In front of His Majesty, dozens of words are not worth half of your words."
But she herself is not like this. Concubine Shu secretly laughed.
Ruan Yuyi lowered her head, her hair covering half of her beautiful face, and her expression could not be discerned, "I understand, I understand."
In fact, even if Concubine Shu didn't say anything, she still planned to enjoy this pillow breeze.
After seeing Concubine Shu off, Wen Zifang turned around and cupped his hands, saying, "The clothes, hairpins, rings, etc. have all been sent to the vacant palace next to me. Please go and change my clothes."
She nodded slightly and said, "Please, father-in-law, please lead the way."
Although it is an empty palace, the windows are clear and clean, and the mirrors and combs are fully equipped.
A line of palace maids were holding the trays, and they were already in the palace. Looking around, the green hairpins on the trays and the beautiful clothes shone brightly under the candlelight, which was a bit dazzling.
While she was being served by others to wash and change clothes, Wen Zhi went outside to avoid it. After waiting for a while, seeing that he seemed to have nothing to do, he went to the new emperor to reply.
After about half an hour, Ruan Yuyi finished dressing up.
The person in the mirror is wearing a crescent-shaped phoenix tail skirt, a gold-feathered cloak, and her hair is decorated with green hair. She has a short and slim figure, thin onion fingers, and a hibiscus face. In the eyes of others, she doesn't know how it looks.
Delicate flowers and nephrite, fairy figures.
The maid had completely forgotten all the flattery she had written in her mind, and was in a daze.
After a long time, he said in a daze, "Ruan Jieyu is the best match for this beauty and beauty. I have only heard of such a look in the playbook of beauty and misfortune."
Mu Xiang stepped forward and held the hairpin for her. She smiled, seemingly proud.
Ruan Yuyi looked into the mirror and felt that the pink and rosy people inside were a bit unfamiliar. Although this uniform was against the palace regulations, it was not up to the new emperor to decide whether it was acceptable or not.
"Let's go, don't be late." She looked away and said softly.
