Ling Ruo lowered his head and said, "I've been back to the palace for a few days, but I haven't come to pay my respects to the queen. I feel very sorry. I came here while I had nothing to do today. I hope the queen won't be dissatisfied with my late arrival.
"
Nala took a deep look at Ling Ruo, a smile appeared on her slightly pale face and said: "I have known you for many years, how can I blame you for such a trivial matter? Sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Ling Ruo sat down, Nala said with a smile: "But I really didn't expect that I would see Concubine Xi again. I thought I would never have the chance to see you again in this life."
Ling Ruo raised her eyes and looked at Nala and said: "Your Majesty is still here, so how can I be willing to leave first? Even if Black and White Wuchang really comes to claim my life, I will definitely not go with them. Otherwise, I will be the only one left in the palace."
Isn’t it too lonely and boring?”
"But sometimes, I like to be quieter. I don't want so many people hanging around in front of me, which will dazzle my eyes." In response to Nala's pun, Ling Ruo smiled slightly and said: "
There are so many people in the palace, it may be difficult for the empress to have some peace and quiet."
"Yes, I have extravagant hopes." Nala changed the subject and said: "Ever since I first met Concubine Xi, I have thought that you are a blessed person, and now it is indeed the case. You are the only one in the palace who can have both children.
Concubine Xi is the only one."
Ling Ruo said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Isn't it the same for the empress? Not only the second elder brother but also Ling Xi are here to support her. Although they are not the empress's biological children, both of them are very filial to the empress. They look even more filial to her than their biological children.
My dear, I am so envious of you."
Nala was startled, then smiled as before, "If others say that I am envious of you, I will believe it. But I don't believe it, Concubine Xi. Because the things that everyone in the palace envies, whether it is children or positions.
share,
Concubine Xi had everything she wanted. Even when he returned to the palace, the emperor granted permission to use the palace's ceremonial guard. Although there were some surprises, the emperor's favor for Concubine Xi would never be repeated in the Yongzheng Dynasty.
People."
"Your Majesty said this to make me feel ashamed." While she was talking, Dujuan came in with a western dog in her arms, leaned down and said: "Master, Bao'er has been found. It turns out that he was hiding behind the shade of the flowers and snoozing.
!”
As Nala took it, he said: "This treasure is really naughty. It has made me worried for a while. I have to be more careful in the future and don't let it run around on its own again. Otherwise, it will be a big mistake if it gets lost."
"
"Yes, I will give the order." After Du Juan retreated, Ling Ruo took a look at the Western dog with pure white and slightly curly fur and said, "Mother, did you name it Bao'er? If anyone doesn't know,
If you listen to it, you will definitely think that he is a villain."
"Actually, puppies are almost like little people. They can understand words, but they can't speak." At this point, she sighed quietly: "Although I have Lingxi and Hongshi under my knees, they are both
Now that I'm older, I can only visit the palace occasionally. Unlike Concubine Xi, I have Princess Zhaoqing to support her, so I can only raise Bao'er to relieve her boredom."
Ling Ruo chuckled and said: "Zhao Qing is also the daughter of the empress. If the empress likes it, I can bring her to my concubine to sit with her when she is free. As long as the empress doesn't mind the noise, that's fine. Don't look at her for being young.
Her voice is quite loud, and when she cries, I wish I could plug my ears."
Nala smiled and said nothing, and after a while she suddenly said: "In more than twenty years, I have never seen anyone treated so well by the emperor. The former Tong Jialiluo may be one of them, but she committed evil and ruined her predecessor's life.
Road is not like Xigui
Concubine, the more time goes by, the more favored she becomes. The queen's guard of honor, Princess Gu Lun, and the fourth elder brother. If he had not resolutely refused, he would be the crown prince of Yuqing Palace today. According to this palace, Concubine Xi is only missing one thing.
thing?"
"Please enlighten me." Faced with Ling Ruo's words, Nala smiled slightly and said: "Concubine Xi has already known it in her heart, so why should I say it again? However, Concubine Xi may not be able to get such a thing in her lifetime.
, because it is destined not to belong to Concubine Xi, and it is useless to force it."
The rear position - what Nala mentioned is the rear position that countless women in the harem dream of.
The next moment, Ling Ruo laughed, more brilliantly than ever before, "How do you know it doesn't belong to me? Maybe it has been within reach for a long time, but I just don't want it."
"Concubine Xi really likes to joke." Nala stroked Bao'er who was lying on her lap, not believing what she said at all. In her knowledge, no woman would refuse this unique queen position, and no one would
Rejecting the mother's status as queen of the world.
Ling Ruo stood up and walked to Nala's side, looked at the Western dog in her arms, and said softly: "I am not joking, every word is true."
Listening to the words that came to his ears, Nala raised his head and said with the same cold smile as before: "If it is true, then the person sitting in Kunning Palace now should be you, Concubine Xi, not you.
This palace."
Ling Ruo came a little closer and said in a softer voice than before: "The emperor once promised me the honor of being a queen, but I rejected it. Do you know why?"
After listening to these words, the smile on Nala's face became a little stiff, and he stared at her and said, "I would like to hear the good news."
Ling Ruo leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Because without the queen position, you can still live. At most, you will just suffer some humiliation. This is not what I want."
"Then what do you want?" By this time, Nala could no longer maintain her usual gentleness and dignity, and her expression could even be described as ugly.
"Whatever the empress wants from me and Hongli, then I will want whatever I want from the empress today." After saying this, Ling Ruo straightened up, stepped back a few steps, bowed her knees gracefully and waved her handkerchief and said: "I don't want to disturb the empress.
It’s quiet now, please leave first.”
Nala didn't say anything, he just stared at Ling Ruo's leaving figure, his face livid. Xiao Ningzi looked at something wrong and whispered: "Master, don't listen to Concubine Xi's nonsense, the emperor and you are
Married for many years
Wife, how can I promise her the queen's position? It seems to me that Concubine Xi is deliberately making you angry, so don't let her fool you." Although Ling Ruo spoke very softly, he stood beside Nala.
, I still heard a little bit.
I don't know if she listened to Xiao Ningzi's persuasion, but Nala looked away from the door, but her face was still frighteningly livid. She wanted to pick up the tea cup on the side, but her hands kept shaking, and she tried several times to no avail.
I couldn't pick it up, but a lot of it was spilled on the table.
Xiao Ningzi saw this and wanted to step forward to pick it up for her, but Nala shouted sharply: "Go away, I am not old enough to even carry tea."
