Xianyue lowered her head and said: "The imperial doctor also had doubts, but when he went to look for rouge later, he couldn't find the box of rouge, so he had to give up."
Ling Ruo nodded and warned: "Then you should be more careful in the future. Your appearance is so outstanding, it will inevitably make people jealous and do something detrimental to you."
"I understand, thank you so much. In fact, the ladies and sisters in Zhongcui Palace treat me very well. I believe this incident was an accident and was not intentional."
"You are a good person." After saying this, she turned her gaze to Xianyue's wrist and said in surprise: "That bracelet I gave you as a reward, why don't you wear it, but you don't like it?"
Xianyue quickly denied: "No, no, I like the bracelet that the empress gave me very much, but I was clumsy and accidentally broke the bracelet." After saying this, she knelt down and said with a look of fear: "Slave, you deserve to die. , please forgive me."
"It's just a bracelet. If it breaks, it will break. There is nothing to forgive." Although Ling Ruo said it very nonchalantly, she had no intention of letting Xianyue get up and let her kneel on the ground.
"I heard that you have many contacts with the fifth elder brother, right?" Ling Ruo's seemingly understated words shocked Xianyue who was kneeling on the ground. Sure enough, the person who came was not kind, and the kind person did not come. It turned out that it was for this matter.
Thinking like this, there was a look of fear on his face as he said: "This slave and the fifth elder brother have only met once, and it is not really said that they have much contact with each other."
Ling Ruo sneered and said: "But after meeting you twice, Hong Zhou was fascinated by you and obsessed with you. Nala Xianyue, you are really capable."
Xianyue became more and more frightened after hearing this, and said quickly: "I don't know this, and I don't know that the fifth elder brother actually has such an idea. My servant..."
Before she could explain, Ling Ruo raised her hand impatiently and said, "Okay, don't tell such lies in front of me. Although I have only met you twice, if you think this mask can deceive me, , it would be too naive.”
Xianyue was secretly shocked in her heart, but she still denied it blindly: "I really don't understand what your Majesty means, please make it clear."
Ling Ruo stared at her for a long time and said coldly: "Okay, I will tell you clearly that the fifth elder brother has his own way to go. For the fifth elder brother, the future is like a beautiful scroll, extremely gorgeous. And you are not the one who can accompany him on that beautiful scroll. Don't think about things you shouldn't think about, it won't do you any good."
Xianyue lowered her head and said: "This slave has a low status and has no intention of trying to reach the top of my fifth elder brother. Please be clear to me."
"Inferior status?" Ling Ruo stroked the tassel under the handle of the fan and chuckled: "Today's daughter of a first-class British duke actually said the words "inferior status". I really don't know whether it means you are too modest or too clever. Well disguised."
Xianyue raised her head and said with a serious face: "I have never put on any disguise. I really don't know where the Queen's words come from."
Ling Ruo stood up and walked around her, her gaze seemed to see through Xianyue, causing her to lower her head unconsciously and stare at her hands on the ground. Her slender fingers were painted with the most suitable pink color for her age. Dan Miao, her nails unconsciously dug into the thin seams of the gold bricks.
"The women of the Nala clan are really not to be underestimated. However, they have such dignity and stability at a young age. If I had just been drafted, I might have been deceived by you." Without waiting for Xianyue to cry out again, She already said: "Since you insist on wearing that mask, I won't force you to take it off, but you'd better keep every word I say to you in your heart and never forget it. , otherwise I will definitely make you regret it, so please step back."
"Yes." Xiayue stood up and left Chengqian Palace aggrievedly. But after she left, Ling Ruo said: "Shuixiu, you go to the warehouse to select ten pieces of good satin, plus jewelry, and send them to Zhongcui Palace for Nala Xia.
moon."
Shui Xiu said in confusion: "Master doesn't like her, why does he still promote her like this?"
Ling Ruo put the fan on the table and said, "Have you ever heard of a saying: If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. The more I praise her, the less likely her life will be in Zhongcui Palace.
It's better, that face is the best proof."
Shui Xiu's eyes were slightly startled, "Master, are you saying that her Rouge has been tampered with?"
When Ling Ruo nodded, Shui Yue on the side said: "Master, please forgive me for speaking frankly. I don't think this Nala beauty is pretending. I have always paid attention to her eyes and did not dodge. Maybe she
She is really different from the Queen. If so, wouldn’t we be harming her by doing this?”
"What happened when the Wen family entered the palace in the past, and what was the result, how could they be forgotten so quickly?" Ling Ruo's words made Shui Yue speechless. After a while, she whispered softly: "Even so, people are different after all.
Will Master..." She hesitated a little bit about the next words, not knowing whether to say them out.
"Do you think I am too arbitrary?" Ling Ruo did not show any displeasure, but sighed softly: "I also felt that I was too arbitrary before, but now I am very sure that this woman is not what she seems.
What she saw was so simple, on the contrary, she
She is very tolerant and very resourceful, otherwise she would not have allowed Hong Zhou to contradict Yubi for her, nor would he have exposed his flaws despite her repeated questioning." Before Shui Yue could speak, she said: "You just have to
I saw her eyes didn’t dodge, but I didn’t notice her fingers.”
"Finger?" Shuiyue shook her head strangely, "I don't understand."
Ling Ruo stood up and bent down to pick up a small piece of nail from where Xianyue was kneeling just now and put it in Shuiyue's palm, "Ever since I told her about Hong Zhou, her fingers have been clasping the gold fingernails intentionally or unintentionally.
She didn't even stop when one of her fingernails was broken. What if she wasn't nervous? But she is considered a character. At such a young age, she can control her expression so accurately.
You were also deceived by her."
Shuiyue blushed and said, "I know I was wrong. Please forgive me, Master."
"I can't blame you. She is indeed powerful. If Wen Ruqing's incident hadn't alerted me, and she is from the Nala clan, which made me pay special attention to her, I might not have noticed her now.
Come on weird."
Shui Xiu said from the side: "Master, I think it's useless for you to just talk to Nala Xianyue. You have to find an opportunity to have a good talk with the fifth elder brother so that he won't be deceived by Nala Xianyue."
"I know, but even though Yubi didn't say it clearly just now, I guess that the fifth elder brother may have some interest in me. It's not appropriate to tell him now. It's better to wait until he is less obsessed with Nala Xianyue.
