"That's what you said, but before the queen comes back to life, she will definitely not betray you unless she wants to seek death." Guarjia's words made Ling Ruo frown and said: "Sister, I think the queen is still alive.
The time of resurrection?"
Guarjia sighed softly and said: "I don't know, but she is still holding the position of queen, which always makes people a little uneasy. In addition, the second elder brother went to Henan again. What if the second elder brother is in Henan?"
If she performs meritorious service and pleads for Nala, the emperor might release her from the ban. But logically speaking, the second elder brother has such a deep relationship with the queen that he should not plead for her."
Ling Ruo shook his head and said: "It's too early to say this. Originally, according to my speculation, the second elder brother should be in a state of despair. But after he came out of prison, the second elder brother seemed to be a different person. He even actively asked to go to a dangerous place like Henan.
This place, do you think it’s strange?”
Guarjia nodded and said: "It's strange, but people's hearts are unpredictable. We can't figure out the reason even if we guess like this. Let's observe first. As long as we keep a close eye on it, I believe they won't be able to cause much trouble." After a pause.
After a pause, she said: "Speaking of which, have you ever gone to see those beautiful ladies? I heard that Hongli and Hongzhou both have their own favorite beautiful ladies?"
"You haven't gone yet, why don't you take advantage of today's free time and sister to accompany me?" Faced with Ling Ruo's invitation, Guarjia would not refuse, so she got up and took a carriage to Zhongcui Palace with her.
When they arrived, more than a hundred beautiful ladies were learning palace etiquette from Aunt Xi under the early autumn sunshine. When they saw Ling Ruo and Guarjia coming, they quickly knelt down to salute. There were many beautiful eyes in their eyes.
With a look of envy, especially when facing Ling Ruoshi, she secretly thought about when she would be like her, favored by the emperor and loved by three thousand people.
"Sister, look, that is Concubine Xi. They say she is nearly forty years old, but she still looks young and beautiful." Xia Yue pulled Mingyue's sleeves with excitement.
Mingyu knew that Xia Yue had a straight and straightforward temperament, so she quickly reminded: "Shh, keep your voice down, don't disturb the noble concubine."
In that room, the teacher had already invited Ling Ruo and Ling Ruo in with a smile. After serving tea, she stood aside with her hands down. Ling Ruo was about to speak when he suddenly saw a familiar figure flashing outside and quickly called Yang Haidao.
: "Go and see if the fifth elder brother is outside?"
Yang Hai went out as he was told, and when he came back, there was another person beside him, it was Hong Zhou. He bowed slightly uncomfortably and said: "Hong Zhou pays his respects to the noble concubine, and wishes to the concubine Jin."
Guarjia and Ling Ruo looked at each other and said with a smile: "Why is the fifth elder brother here?"
"I..." Hong Zhou's eyes wandered around, and he said after a while: "I entered the palace to pay my respects to E Niang. Afterwards, I saw that nothing happened, so I walked around casually, but I didn't know that I would just come here."
"Just right?" Guarjia's smile gradually widened, "Why don't I know that Yonghe Palace and Zhongcui Palace are so close to each other, so I ended up here just walking around?"
What Guarjia said made Hong Zhou blush and didn't dare to answer. Ling Ruo smoothed things over and said, "Okay, sister, please don't make the fifth brother happy anymore. Since you're here, let's take a look together."
Those beautiful ladies." He turned to the nanny who was waiting aside and said, "Are all the beautiful ladies here?"
Mammy hurriedly said: "If I go back to my wife, all the beautiful girls are here, but do I need my slave to call them in?"
After getting Ling Ruo's permission, Mammy hurried out and asked the show girls to come in in groups of ten to present to Ling Ruo. Although it was not the Golden Palace draft, the show girls were still very nervous. After all, there were two empresses sitting inside.
, if you can catch their eyes and say a few nice words in front of the emperor, you will have a high chance of being selected.
After looking at several batches, before the show girls came in, Guarjia said: "In terms of appearance alone, the show girls this year are not inferior to the show girls in the second year of Yongzheng's reign, and they can even be said to be even better.
And, I just don’t know how many people will be selected in the end.”
Ling Ruo nodded and said with some emotion: "How fast, more than twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye. I used to be like them, living in Zhongcui Palace, waiting for others to decide my destiny."
As soon as Ling Ruo finished speaking, a voice unexpectedly sounded, "Have you ever chosen a talent show before?"
The voice came from the group of beautiful women who had just walked in. Looking around, it turned out to be a woman with bright eyes and white teeth. She looked like she was only fourteen or fifteen years old. Even Ling Ruo, who was used to seeing beauty, was here.
He was slightly startled when he saw her.
Mingyu said anxiously from the side: "Xiayue, don't be so rude, why don't you apologize to your empress?"
Mingyu's voice was very soft, but Guarjia's words were still heard. His eyes moved and fell on Xianyue, "Your name is Xianyue? What's your surname?"
Hearing this, Xianyue quickly knelt down and said, "Replying to Concubine Jin, my surname is Nala."
"Nala Xianyue..." Guarjia repeated, already knowing in her heart that this woman was Yingge's youngest daughter, but she didn't expect to be so beautiful.
"I have seen your eldest sister Lan Ling before. She is a beautiful woman. I never thought that you are more outstanding than her. Come, come to me." Ling Ruo's praise and admiration made several other beautiful ladies more or less
Showing jealousy.
Xianyue was somewhat flattered and walked up to Ling Ruo and whispered: "My dear lady, have you really chosen a show?"
"It's true, that was when the late emperor was here, but I didn't enter the palace at that time, but was given to the current emperor." Ling Ruo's pleasant expression made Guarjia secretly wonder, wondering why she wanted to treat Ying Ruo.
The daughter of Ge is so gentle. Although this girl looks innocent, who knows if she is pretending to be innocent but actually has deep thoughts. She has seen many people, and the former Wen Ruqing is one of them.
.
After carefully looking at Xianyue, Ling Ruowen said, "How old are you this year?"
"Replying to your Majesty, I am fourteen this year." Listening to Xianyue's answer, Ling Ruo nodded slightly and said: "Fourteen is still a little young. How about I am still used to it in Zhongcui Palace. I remember that Xiu Nu is
If you are not used to sharing a room for two people, I will ask grandma to give you a separate room."
Xianyue shook her head repeatedly and said: "Thank you for your kindness, my servant and sister Mingyu live in the same room. I am not used to it at all, and sister Mingyu takes good care of me."
"Mingyu?" Hearing this familiar name, Ling Ruo looked towards where Fucha Mingyu was standing. Although she had never seen this woman before, she remembered that she was the one who reminded Xianyue just now, and there should be nothing wrong.
Mingyu's greeting later also confirmed Ling Ruo's suspicion.
Ling Ruo's attitude towards Mingyu was surprisingly cold. She just nodded and gave up. Instead, she greeted Xianyue and even gave her a bracelet, which made those beautiful ladies jealous.
