With Congxiang's support, Guarjia climbed onto the peony stage. She looked down at the delicate and huge carvings at her feet and the red carpet spreading from a distance. She frowned slightly and said, "Peony is among the flowers.
Your Majesty, it seems a little inappropriate for you to hold Liu’s conferment ceremony on the Peony Terrace, right?”
Ling Ruo went up to the peony stage after her and said with a smile: "Isn't Mrs. Liu today just like the king of flowers? She attracts the attention of everyone."
"Having said that, in the final analysis, although there are many women in the harem, there is only one Queen who is qualified to be called the King of Flowers. Even if she does not like peonies, I am afraid that the Queen will be unhappy when she sees her." Guar
Jia felt very strange. With Lingruo's carefulness, she shouldn't have noticed this. The garden was so big, and the Peony Terrace was not the only place suitable for being ennobled. Why did she...
Turning back, he looked at Ling Ruo and found a faint smile on her lips. He immediately understood and blurted out: "I understand. Did you do it on purpose? Did you deliberately make the Queen have a problem with the Liu family?"
"Sister is wise." Ling Ruo's words were equivalent to admitting Guarjia's guess that the ceremony was deliberately held on the peony stage.
Guarjia shook her head and chuckled: "You, you really have a lot on your mind. In fact, Mrs. Liu now has two more brothers and has been named a concubine. Even if you don't do these things, the queen will not be able to tolerate her, but
It's just a matter of time."
Ling Ruo smiled and said nothing. After looking around to make sure there were no mistakes or omissions, and then checking the two precious chairs placed on it, Guarjia and his family descended from the Peony Terrace together. At that time, Concubine Yu,
Concubine Cheng, Mrs. Wu and others all arrived. When they saw Ling Ruo coming, they each saluted. After saying a few words, Mrs. Wu curled her lips and said, "Huh, she's here too."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and only after they saw the figure walking slowly towards them did they realize who Wu was talking about. Concubine Cheng turned her head uncomfortably because the person who came was none other than Shu Mulu, who had had issues with her before.
Although she has a higher status than Shumulu,
High, but has long since fallen out of favor, and cannot be compared with the Shumulu family who is so favored at the moment. In this palace, favor is what determines everything. Once you lose the emperor's favor, no matter how high your status is, it is nothing
furnishings.
In the complicated mood of everyone, Mrs. Shu Mulu had already walked closer and saluted, "I have met you empresses. I hope you are blessed."
Ling Ruo's eyes twitched slightly, and she nodded and said: "Hui Noble, no courtesy, since we are all here, let's go over and sit for a while, there is still a long time before the auspicious time!"
Everyone agreed. When passing by, Mrs. Wu deliberately walked in front of Ms. Shumulu to prevent her from passing him. Unfortunately, she walked fast and sometimes slowly, and Ms. Shumulu almost bumped into her several times.
After another almost collision, Yu Shan couldn't bear it and said: "Ning Guiren, can you walk better? How can my master walk like this?"
Wu stopped, turned around and said, "When will it be your turn as a palace maid to teach me how to walk? Sir Hui, is this how you teach your servants?"
Shu Mululu looked calm and said: "Yushan is not sensible. Please don't get along with Sister Ning. But can you please step aside and let me pass?"
"Is it just a matter of ignorance?" Mrs. Wu sneered: "I know that now you, Mr. Hui, are just doting on you, no more than those of us who are not ignored by the emperor, but at least I entered the palace earlier than you to serve the emperor.
Shouldn't you be more respectful to me when you called me sister just now?"
Shu Mulu nodded slightly and said, "Then how do you want me to respect you, sister?"
Ling Ruo and others who were walking in front noticed something strange behind them and stopped. However, no one came over, they just stood there and looked at it.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wu only said that Mrs. Shumulu was afraid of her, raised her chin, and said with some pride: "Your maid disrespected me, and she committed the following crimes. I believe Hui Gui knows very well what the punishment is for this crime!"
Shu Mulu stopped Yushan who wanted to speak and said modestly: "Yes, I know it very well. There is another thing that is equally clear. I wonder if Sister Ning is interested in hearing it." Seeing that Mrs. Wu remained silent, she continued: "
Last time, like my elder sister, the concubine Cheng concubine thought that one of my palace maids had offended her and wanted to punish her. As a result, she offended the emperor, so she punished one of the concubine's palace maids instead. She was beaten so hard that all her teeth fell out and she even had to eat.
Things are also difficult.”
Wu originally thought that he was trying to persuade the weak, but he didn't expect it to be this. His expression suddenly became extremely unnatural, but he still said firmly: "You don't have to use the emperor to pressure me."
"How dare I oppress my sister?" Mrs. Shumulu lowered her head and said humbly: "I just want my sister to be merciful and merciful. Besides, Yushan didn't make any big mistake. If we really want to cause trouble, Yushan will
I don't know if anything will happen, but I know my sister will definitely be in some trouble."
Wu wanted to ignore her words, but her throat seemed to be stuck by a pair of invisible hands and she couldn't speak.
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Shumulu smiled slightly and said to Yushan: "Sir Ning Guiren has a lot. I don't care about you. Why don't you quickly say thank you to Ning Guiren."
"Yes, I thank Mr. Ning for your kindness." Yushan understood in her heart that Mr. Ning didn't care about her. She was simply suppressed by her master and was speechless. She didn't know how to vomit in her heart.
After Mrs. Shu Mulu led Yushan and others away, Ms. Wu Fang stamped her feet bitterly and cursed in a low voice: "Damn Hu Meizi, let me see how long you can be proud of!"
When she walked to her seat and sat down, Ling Ruo said to Guarjia next to her: "Sister, what do you think of what happened just now?"
Guarjia said softly: "Just seeing how she suppressed Wu into speechlessness with just a few words, you can see that Shumulu... is more scheming than you and I thought, plus she has a deep understanding of
The emperor’s favor will probably become your fierce enemy.”
Ling Ruo smiled, but did not show a too serious expression because of her words, which caused Guarjia to look strangely, "Why are you laughing?"
"It's nothing." Ling Ruo stroked the brocade clothes embroidered with gold and silver threads into a pattern of swallows throwing themselves into their arms and said, "I was just thinking that this harem is really a strange place. It can not only bring people who have no capital at all,
Become good at calculation; it can also make people who were originally weak and incompetent become strong."
Guarjia shook his head and said: "People are multi-faceted by nature; maybe this is what they are good at, but they have been suppressed and not shown."
Ling Ruo didn't speak any more. After sitting quietly for a while, the eunuch's singing voice came from afar, "The Emperor has arrived! The Queen has arrived!"
