An'er knew that she was secretly warning him, so she quickly lowered her head and said, "Yes, I understand."
Ling Ruo nodded and said: "Okay, take the clothes in, and prepare the purple and embroidered vine clothes, I will wear them tomorrow."
As soon as An'er went down, Yang Hai walked in quickly, called Qian'er with a strange look on his face and said: "Master, the concubine Rui of Jingren Palace is outside asking for an audience."
Ling Ruo raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise: "What is she here for?"
Shuiyue was holding a sapphire teapot to add water to the tea cup. Hearing this, she said, "Master, is she here to demonstrate to you?"
Ling Ruo glanced at her, and when Shui Yue lowered her head, she turned around and said, "Let her in."
As Yang Hai went down, not long after, a young woman surrounded by pearls and emeralds walked in. Who else but Shu Mulu's face? Her slightly ordinary face was a little more beautiful than usual under the careful decoration.
After Shu Mulu came in, he waved his handkerchief and saluted, and said in a manly voice: "My concubine, please give my regards to Concubine Xi. May Concubine Xi be blessed."
Ling Ruo raised her hand and said kindly: "Why is Rui Concubine so good today that she made a special trip to pay my respects to me?"
After Mrs. Shumulu straightened up, she raised the corners of her lips and revealed a smile, "I saw that the weather today is much cooler than usual, and I was afraid that my queen would catch the cold due to her old age and frailty, so I came here to remind her to wear more clothes."
Both Shui Yue and Yang Hai changed their expressions when they heard her words. Even a fool could tell that Mrs. Shu Mulu was sarcastic about her master. Only Ling Ruo looked as usual and said: "Rui Bin is really serious. , but although I am not as young as Rui Bin, I am not old and in poor health. According to me, it is Rui Bin who should really take care of her body."
Mrs. Shumulu sat down in the chair and said, "I forgive you for not understanding what I mean."
Ling Ruo smiled slightly and said: "It is said that miscarriage is harmful to the body. Although Rui Bin has had enough confinement, her body is still weak compared to before. Not to mention that Rui Bin is too harmful to her body and will not be able to have children in the future. It’s worse, and I can’t even catch the cold. I see that Concubine Rui’s clothes are thin, so I wonder if Jingren Palace doesn’t have enough winter clothes, or if I can ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make some winter clothes for you as soon as possible.”
Seeing that she was hurting him, Mr. Shumulu's eyes turned cold and he said with a false smile: "Thank you for your concern, Madam. In fact, the Ministry of Internal Affairs just sent a lot of clothes yesterday, so there is no need to bother Madam."
"Hey, did you just send the clothes to Rui Concubine yesterday?" Ling Ruo said with a surprised look on his face: "I ordered them to make winter clothes many days ago. Don't miss the clothes of the masters of the palace, especially here. It was delivered a long time ago, I just said that they have done it, but I didn’t expect Rui Bin to keep delaying it, it really shouldn’t have happened.”
Ling Ruo's words made Shu Mulu's face turn blue and white. After a while, she suddenly coughed, which made her face red. Ru Liu patted her back and stroked her chest, and kept asking her if she was feeling better. Finally, Shu Mulu After spitting out a mouthful of clear phlegm on the willow-like silk, he calmed down and stroked his chest and said, "I felt that there was phlegm stuck in my throat just now on the road, but now I finally coughed it out, and I feel much better all of a sudden. "
Seeing Ling Ruo smiling but saying nothing, she added: "Actually, when I came today, in addition to reminding the queen to be careful of the cold weather, I also made a special trip to thank the queen."
Ling Ruo was quite surprised and said: "Oh? Concubine Rui actually has something to thank me for. I really want to listen attentively."
Shu Mulu said with a smile on her face: "If it weren't for the empress, how could I continue to stay in the palace and be promoted to one of the six concubines by the emperor? Speaking of which, the empress is really my great benefactor. I don't know what to do.
It’s best to be grateful to your Majesty.”
Seeing that she was deliberately saying something sarcastic, Ling Ruo didn't expose it and just said: "Actually, those who keep Rui Concubine in the palace and those who hold Jin Rui Concubine's position are the emperor. Rui Concubine should go and thank the emperor if she wants to thank her.
Thank you for what you have done."
"Having said that, the emperor will not change his mind without the help of the empress. Therefore, the empress is still my great benefactor. I will definitely repay this kindness twice as much in the future." Although Mrs. Shumulu kept laughing,
Each word he spoke was colder than the last.
Ling Ruo stroked the embroidery on her skirt and chuckled: "Since Rui Bin insists on repaying it, I naturally have no reason to refuse. Then I will see how Rui Bin repays this kindness to me. I hope she will not let me
Very disappointed.”
"Definitely!" The conversation between the two sounded understated and without a trace of anger, but they both knew in their hearts that hidden behind the understatement were their own sharp claws. As long as there was a chance, their claws would fiercely grab a piece of the other's body.
Meat, even eating each other's skin and bones.
After a moment of silence, Shu Mulu said: "By the way, I just saw Ning Guiren on the way. Did she come to see the empress? What happened?"
"It's nothing, it's just a trivial matter." Ling Ruo did not elaborate on it with her, otherwise, according to Shu Mulu's temperament, he would definitely go back to trouble the Wu family. After chatting for a few more words, she said: "I
I'm a little tired, so I won't leave Rui Bin to sit for more. I'll talk to Rui Bin some other time."
Mrs. Shumulu got up knowingly and said: "In that case, I will not bother you anymore, I will leave."
After leaving Chengqian Palace, Ruliu whispered: "Master, I feel that when you asked about Guiren Ning just now, Concubine Xi was deliberately perfunctory."
"I know, and I also know what Mrs. Wu is looking for to see Concubine Xi." After three years in the palace, I finally have the qualification to call myself my concubine, but in exchange, I have a child that has already formed and has permanent fertility.
"Wu family has always been dissatisfied with this palace
After being favored, now that I have become the master of Jingren Palace, and knowing that there is no hope of leaving this palace, I naturally want to move out of Jingren Palace and change to another place. But it seems that Concubine Xi did not agree, otherwise the Wu family would not
He looked listless."
While Ruliu was still thinking about this matter, Shu Mulu already said: "By the way, have you mentioned the Green Head Card matter to Bai Gui?"
Ru Liu bowed his head and said: "Master, don't worry, I went to the minister's room early in the morning and told you, Eunuch Bai knows what to do."
"That's good. After such a long time, it's time for me to start taking back what belongs to me step by step." At this point, Shumulu suddenly caught a glimpse of a person from the corner of her eye. She didn't care much at first, but when she came into contact with him
When the man's eyes met, his whole body suddenly froze, and he stood there motionless.
Seeing her abnormal expression, Ruliu asked worriedly: "Master? Master, what's wrong with you?"
Ru Liu called out several times in succession before she woke up Shu Mulu from her trance, but her eyes still fell on the figure not far away. She was a face-to-face woman, not from the palace. She was also
She was very sure that this was the first time she saw her, but the woman's eyes made her feel like she had seen her before. No, it shouldn't be said that she was familiar with her, it should be said that she was very familiar, because those eyes... were exactly the same as hers. If not for the different appearance, she would almost have known her.
