As soon as these dresses came to Ruan Yuyi, she recognized that one piece was missing from them.
If nothing else, she might not have been able to remember it if the others were missing, but this one was the one she personally picked out, thinking it would be suitable for making spring clothes, and she always had the impression.
She was suspicious, so she asked, "Why is there a piece of clothing missing?"
The palace servant didn't want to take on this responsibility, so he had something to say, "It's Miss Bai from Cining Palace who has taken a liking to her. She insists on it, and there's nothing I can do about it."
She quietly raised her eyes and glanced at Ruan Yuyi's expression, and said tentatively, "If your Majesty wants it, I will go and get it back for you."
Ruan Yuyi reacted for a while before remembering that the "Bai girl" she was referring to was not Bai Zhiqi, but Bai Hua, the Queen Mother's newly adopted daughter-in-law. It was said that she was Li Meiren's confidant in the past.
However, she didn't insist on holding on to a piece of clothing, so she didn't ask any more questions and waved her hand to indicate that the palace people could leave.
The palace man breathed a sigh of relief. Before he had taken a few steps, he heard a quiet voice behind him:
"Stay here."
The palace man's expression did not change, and he turned around with a smile, "I wonder what your Majesty's orders are?"
At this moment, Ruan Yuyi unfolded the damaged clothes. She also saw Mu Xiang on one side and was slightly surprised. The damaged areas on the top were smooth and smooth. It was obvious that someone had done it intentionally and used scissors specially used to cut cloth so that the rough edges were not visible.
.
Mu Xiang asked her to come forward and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
The dress she was holding was gorgeous and gorgeous, but it had many holes. It looked complete when folded, but when unfolded, it looked a bit scattered.
The palace servant opened his mouth slightly, with a bit of shock in his eyes, and quickly lowered his head, "I don't know. I am only responsible for delivering it, and it is not my responsibility to do anything else."
She thought they couldn't see it, so she raised the corners of her lips slightly, but she didn't want Ruan Yuyi to see clearly, so there was nothing she didn't understand.
No one in this palace had many secret thoughts. Ruan Yuyi was too lazy to ask, but she didn't intend to let this matter pass by so lightly.
"Go and invite your aunt in charge. There has been such a mistake in the clothing bureau, and I have to ask questions. Today I am cutting clothes, why don't I hide embroidery needles in the clothes tomorrow?"
She frowned slightly, and her voice was clear and cold. For some reason, the palace man was trembling.
However, this coincided with the palace maid's wishes. She felt proud and muttered, "What do you mean by this, Madam? You are a noble man of gold, but you are not so suspicious of others, but it chilled the hearts of the slaves."
"
Her voice was not very soft, it was just good enough for Ruan Yuyi to listen.
Suddenly, a chuckle came from the top of her head. This smile seemed to have an icy edge, until it penetrated into her flesh and blood, making her whole body feel chilly:
"If that's the case, it's easy to handle, so just give me compensation according to the price."
The palace man was stunned and suddenly raised his head. The face of the woman in front of him was calm and not sullen. However, her pair of glazed eyes were extremely distant and looked at her slightly.
……how come?
Shouldn't this guy be trying to calm things down and call the female officer to give him a beating?
Could it be that she knew that this was what she had done? The palace officials quickly denied this idea. It was wrong. She had not finished cutting and left her own name on it, so how could this person know about it?
But what she doesn't know is that sometimes, a person's expression can reveal a lot.
Ruan Yuyi pursed her lower lip, swallowed her yawn, turned around and walked inside, leaving the palace guests alone in the main hall, panicking.
After entering the palace, other people didn't know, but she understood the truth more and more. It wasn't because of her repeated concessions, those who were interested would stop at the right time. If we don't press hard now, the incident of confining the concubines may happen again.
.
After dinner, the female officer of the Clothing Bureau came with the maidservant to apologize.
At this moment, Ruan Yuyi was leaning on the couch, watching Mu Xiang twist her nails. Her black hair was pulled loose, revealing a section of her snow-white neck. Her skirt half hung over the side of the couch, outlining her slender figure, like a painting.
middle man.
Even though she was a female official, she was stunned for a moment. Then she was shocked when she saw the painting moving. She turned her head and scolded the palace officials to apologize.
The palace man was naturally not angry, so he glared at the female official secretly, straightened his skirt, knelt down and said, "My queen, please forgive me."
Mu Xiang wrapped the twisted nails and threw them away. Ruan Yuyi lowered her eyes, glanced at the neatly manicured nails, then picked up the teacup slowly, took a sip, and waited until the bitter taste filled her mouth.
Speak slowly:
"Gone?"
The palace servant below suppressed another sentence, "Slave, I will bring back the clothes that Miss Bai took away later."
She looked deeply at the palace man, "Is this what you told your aunt?"
She said something lightly, but it made the palace maid shiver for no reason. The palace maid lowered her head, and then she realized that she was frightened.
The female official on the side sensed that something was wrong and grabbed the maid's ear, "You are such a little girl, do you have anything to hide?"
The maid tried to cover her ears in pain, but she refused to say anything.
What a joke. The clothes were taken away by Bai Hua. She could easily pass the responsibility off, but she had to bear the responsibility for the clothes. The development of this matter was completely out of her expectation.
"Can you recognize the holes in that dress?"
Hearing this, her face turned a little pale.
Seeing her like this, the female officer understood and hurriedly apologized, secretly cursing this little maid in her heart that she would really cause trouble for her.
Ruan Yuyi thought for a moment and said, "My aunt will fine her two months' money, and she won't have to pay her until the price of the clothes is paid off." As for meals and the like, the palace will certainly provide them, at most.
Life is tighter.
The female officer accepted the order and bowed to leave. Before leaving, she paused and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty can control us servants, but she may not be able to control your Majesty. Let's see if he comes to Chang'an Palace tonight.
"
After saying this, she walked away.
Ruan Yuyi's hand holding the tea cup paused slightly, her face ignored, and her eyes were filled with confusion, but she soon returned to calm.
She had promised to believe it for the time being, but she couldn't go back on her word halfway.
.
The female official led the maid out of Chang'an Palace. When she saw no one around, she opened her mouth and scolded her, saying whatever was unpleasant to her.
The palace maid's face turned red after being scolded. She gritted her teeth and endured it for a while, then suddenly interrupted, "If your Majesty really loves her, why would you issue such a grounding order? Why is my aunt still speaking for her like this?"
If one day Chang'an Palace also collapses and she climbs up to Cining Palace, she will be envied by this old witch.
Hearing this, the female officer sneered, "She is a little girl after all, she is still very young. If you want to be the first person, don't drag me along."
Although the Chang'an Palace is now closed, they, who are doing business, can still come and go freely, which shows that this person's situation is not consistent with that of Concubine Rong.
If you want to bring this person down, you have to follow what the Queen Mother said and take this opportunity to add more fuel to the fire.
Let's go and see.
The female officer was so happy with her scolding that she quickly walked towards the clothes bureau.
