Concubine Yu also said: "Your Majesty, the beautiful lady Guo Luoluo's words and deeds are not inappropriate. Why can't she stay in the palace?"
Ling Ruo ignored her, only looked at Hongli and said, "If the emperor believes in the Ai family's vision, just enjoy the flowers."
Before Hongli could say anything, Guo Luoluo knelt down and said timidly: "I dare you to ask the Queen Mother, I wonder what I did wrong?"
Ling Ruo glanced at her and said calmly: "You did nothing wrong, but... you are not suitable." After waiting for a while, Hongli didn't speak, and she said: "What's wrong, the emperor is unwilling?"
Hongli hesitated for a moment, lowered his eyes and said, "My son, I obey the emperor's decree!" After that, he said to Sixi, "Let's enjoy the flowers."
Guo Luoluo didn't expect that Hongli would actually listen to Ling Ruo and not let him stay in the palace. From the moment she came in until now, Hongli's eyes have been falling on her, and he obviously likes her. And she also likes her.
I am very confident in my appearance and temperament, and I will definitely be able to stay in the palace as Ama ordered. Little did I know...
Facing the flowers handed over by Si Xi, she said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty..."
Although Hongli liked Guo Luoluo very much, Ling Ruo had already spoken, and he would not go against her will for the sake of a woman. He said coldly: "Why don't you hurry up and take the flower?"
Faced with Hongli's ruthless words, Mrs. Guo Luoluo shed tears and took the flowers, choking with sobs and saying: "I thank the Lord for your kindness."
As she and the other two show girls withdrew, the talent show in the eleventh year of Qianlong's reign came to an end. When Sixi went to work with Manager Huang to arrange for the many show girls who would stay or go, Ling Ruo glanced at the happy and silent girl.
The concubine glanced at her and said, "Concubine Yu, do you have any objections to the arrangement of the Ai family?"
"I don't dare." Concubine Yu bowed and said immediately, "But I really don't understand why the emperor does not allow Guo Luoluo to stay in the palace. She is not a person who is as inconsistent as the Anjia family.
"
Ling Ruo nodded slowly and said: "Guo Luoluo does look good, but it's just a look. She is not the same person as Anjia, because she knows how to disguise better than Anjia, and she clearly messes with the palace people.
She was very unhappy about the clothes issue, but she still offered words of comfort, which shows how deep her thoughts are. Did Concubine Yu really not see this?"
Concubine Yu's eyes flashed slightly, she lowered her head and said, "I am stupid and didn't realize it. Please forgive me."
"Really?" Ling Ruo said with a cold expression, "But you... shouldn't be able to tell the Yiai family's understanding of Concubine Yu."
Concubine Yu didn't say anything, she just repeated: "Please forgive me, Queen Mother."
Hongli said: "Huang Erniang, no matter what Guo Luoluo's thoughts are, it is just that she was not selected into the palace. You are tired after sitting here for so long. Please go back with me."
Ling Ruo said coldly: "Although the Ai family is old, they are not that useless." After that, she stared at Concubine Yu again and said: "The Ai family asks you, what do you want in a wife?"
"As you say to the emperor, marry a wife and beg a lady." As soon as Concubine Yu finished speaking, Ling Ruo sneered: "Since you know, why do you only choose those who are beautiful but have bad character?"
Concubine Yu said a little aggrievedly: "I have only chosen two. Besides, I have only met them once. How can I know what their temperaments are like?"
Hongli also said: "Yes, Queen Mother, I can't blame Concubine Yu for this."
Ling Ruo ignored him and just stared at Concubine Yu and said: "You don't know, or you just let it go. The Ai family knows that you want to please the emperor, so you blindly choose those with good looks, but if you choose
They are all unkind and unvirtuous people. I am afraid that the palace
It's hard to live in peace for a day, and it will only annoy the emperor even more." After a pause, she said: "Concubine Yu, you have been with me for many years, and have been with you for six or seven years after the fourth concubine. The Ai family has always been looking forward to you.
I can be a good concubine, but what I saw today really disappoints the Ai family."
Seeing that she had spoken so seriously, Concubine Yu panicked and said, "I know I was wrong. I will definitely be more careful in the future and ask the Queen to forgive me."
"Double?" Ling Ruo shook his head and said something that made Concubine Yu pale, "No need, Concubine Yu should not come to Ti Yuan Hall again from now on."
This sentence is a disguised form of depriving Concubine Yu of her qualification to accompany Hongli in the draft. Unless Ling Ruo is not here, she will not have this qualification even if she is a noble concubine or an imperial concubine.
Hongli couldn't bear to say: "Huang'e Niang, it's just a trivial matter, why should it be so serious?"
Ling Ruo looked at him coldly and said: "If the emperor thinks it is a trivial matter, just pretend that the Ai family has not mentioned it. From now on, the Ai family will no longer care about your affairs."
Seeing that Ling Ruo was angry, Hongli didn't dare to plead for Concubine Yu anymore, and immediately said: "My son is at fault, please calm down your anger, and my son will not let Concubine Yu come again from now on." After Ling Ruo nodded, he
He said: "Son, would you like to go back with you?"
This time Ling Ruo did not refuse, and Hongli helped her leave. After they left, Huang straightened up, smiled and said to Jin Ping beside her: "Did you see that some people want to please the emperor, but in the end they fail?"
It's really funny that I was so self-defeating that I was scolded and not allowed to enter the Tiyuan Hall again in the future."
Concubine Yu stared at her with a livid face and said, "It's just a trivial matter. Is it worthy of Concubine Yi to be so happy?"
"A small matter?" Huang covered her lips and said with a smile, "Maybe, but I am really happy. Thank you Concubine Yu for allowing me to watch such a good show. I hope I will have another chance next time."
After Huang walked away, Dongmei said bitterly: "This concubine Yi actually added insult to injury. It's so annoying."
Concubine Yu secretly clenched her hands and said: "Concubine Yi is certainly hateful, but the most outrageous one is the Queen Mother. The two people chosen by Huang are also beautiful, but the Queen Mother said nothing. It's my turn here.
He used a lot of words and used excuses to denigrate me, which is obviously his intention to find fault with me."
Dongmei nodded and said: "Actually, when the Queen Mother came in, the servant felt very strange. Why did the Queen Mother suddenly come to Tiyuan Hall to see the draft girl for no reason? She had never been seen here before." After a pause,
She said doubtfully: "But I don't understand why the Queen Mother suddenly made things difficult for the master. Since the Queen's death, she has rarely interfered with the affairs of the palace. She spends the whole day eating and chanting Buddha in Cining Palace."
Concubine Yu said coldly: "She is warning me!"
Dongmei asked doubtfully: "Warning Master? What does this mean?"
"The Queen Mother has always valued the Imperial Concubine. Now the Emperor has neglected the Imperial Concubine, and is not qualified to accompany the Emperor to watch the talent show. The Queen Mother is afraid that I will overtake the Imperial Concubine, so she is here to warn me to stay safe and not to please blindly.
Your Majesty; otherwise..." Concubine Yu gritted her teeth and said, "Just like what she said just now: Although she is old, she is not useless."
