"By the way, Fujin, you have met the emperor. Why don't you tell me what kind of person the emperor is and whether he is easy to get along with, so that I can be mentally prepared." Fang Lian'er said suddenly, with a slightly confused look on his face.
expect.
"Okay." Ling Ruo agreed, and also deliberately reminded her. He took her hand and sat down on the slightly warm stone bench and said, "The emperor is a very easy-going and generous elder.
It will be too difficult for you, so you don’t have to worry about this, just abide by the rules you should have."
"That's good." Fang Lian'er patted her chest. Although she spoke calmly just now, she was only a seventeen-year-old girl after all. She suddenly had to face a stranger to become her lifelong husband, and this man still owned the world.
The emperor is still worried.
Ling Ruolian curled up her sleeves, which were embroidered with a pomegranate pattern, which means many children and good fortunes, and said slowly: "But one thing I want to remind you is that once you enter the palace, you will spend much more time facing the other concubines than the emperor.
, and not everyone is so easy to get along with, and it is not uncommon for them to stab someone in the back.
If you want to survive in this harem, you have to be careful and don't make any mistakes." Fang Lian'er is a good girl who values love and affection, and is somewhat similar to her in some aspects, so she doesn't want to look at Fang Lian'er.
In the future, due to a careless mistake or saying something wrong, you will lose your life due to confusion.
"I know." Fang Lian'er knew that Ling Ruo was deliberately reminding herself that these words were far more valuable than gold, silver and jewelry. She stood up and saluted, and said seriously: "Thank you Fujin for your mercy. Lian'er will always keep it in mind."
Ling Ruo stood up and helped her up and then said: "Okay, it's getting late and I should go back. If there is a chance in the future, let's meet again." At this point, she suddenly joked: "Maybe
When we meet again for the first time, it's my turn to salute you." Once Fang Lian'er is selected, even if it's just the lowest-level dressing gown, he is still the master.
Fang Lian'er lowered her head and smiled, saying: "No matter how your identity changes, in my heart, you will always be my sister."
She didn't wave goodbye to Ling Ruoyi until she arrived at the gate of the palace. It was not easy to meet someone she knew, but it was a pity that they had to say goodbye again in the blink of an eye. She only hoped to see them again next time.
Shuixiu helped Ling Ruo get into the sedan chair. When she lowered the curtain of the sedan chair, Ling Ruo ordered from inside, "Don't go back to the Wang Mansion yet, go to the Ling Mansion."
"Yes." After Shuixiu agreed, she ordered the bearers who had been waiting for a long time to carry the sedan chair to the Ling Mansion. At this time, the news from the palace was transmitted back to Prince Yong's Mansion through some secret channels. Zhou Yong was there
After listening to the boy's report, he quietly entered the study room, where Yinzhen was reviewing official documents. In the past few days since he was ill, the Punishment Department had accumulated a lot of things, and he had to rush to review them.
Zhou Yong didn't say anything after he came in. He stood aside with his hands down. It wasn't until Yinzhen raised his head from the pile of official documents that he stepped forward and said, "Fourth Master, there is news from the palace."
Yinzhen tightened his grip on the pen, and the fine wolf-hair pen sent as tribute from Huzhou rattled when he squeezed it. It would break into two pieces at any time. He said in a cold voice: "What should I say?"
Zhou Yong heard the concern hidden behind his indifference, lowered his head and said respectfully: "Ling Fujin has asked the emperor for a decree to marry the second lady to Li Yaoguang, a second-class Jinshi who is now a writer at the Hanlin Academy."
Hearing that Ling Ruo had not asked for permission to bring Yilan into the palace, Yinzhen suddenly felt relieved, put down his pen, and said casually: "At least this woman still has some brains, and is not hopelessly stupid."
Zhou Yong smiled slightly and said softly: "Actually, Ling Fujin has always cared about the prince."
"Humph, if she really cared, she wouldn't have said anything about letting Yilan enter the house that day." Even so, the corners of her lips still raised unconsciously, obviously she was in a good mood.
As a prince or a prince, he is destined to have many women in his life, but apart from Mei'er, there is only one Ling Ruo that he really cares about. Even the Nian family cannot compare with that kind of care.
Precisely because he cared about it, he didn't want Ling Ruolai to push other women to his side. That would make him feel deeply hurt, as if in Ling Ruo's heart, he was just a dispensable person, far inferior to her.
Relatives are important.
"I'll excuse you for saying something. The most difficult thing about this matter is Ling Fujin. Firstly, the second lady is her biological sister. Secondly, I heard that Mrs. Ling also approached Ling Fujin about this matter."
Yinzhen glanced at him and said coldly: "Are you speaking for her?"
"I don't dare." Zhou Yong has been serving Yinzhen for more than ten years. Naturally, he could tell that he was not really angry, but he still controlled his voice in time.
Sure enough, Yinzhen looked away and waved: "Okay, please step back first." Just as Zhou Yong was about to retreat to the door, he added: "If Ling Fujin returns to the mansion, remember to tell me."
After he was the only one left in the room, the smile on Yinzhen's lips gradually widened. The depression that had accumulated for several days was swept away at this moment, and he felt surprisingly happy. He had decided to wait for Ling Ruo to come back to see her.
, it was enough after being ignored for these days, and... he also missed her a little.
As for Ling Ruo, although she has been away from home for seven years, she will never forget the way home. She pointed to the bearer and walked all the way. After more than half an hour, she finally saw the yard where she had lived for fifteen years.
A small courtyard held her countless laughter and laughter. Those days are gone forever.
The courtyard door was closed. Ling Ruo signaled Shuixiu to knock on the door. The person who answered the door was a round-faced woman in commoner clothes with a wooden hairpin in her head. She looked like she was in her twenties. She looked at
After taking a look at Ling Ruo and others, he asked warily: "Who are you looking for?"
When he first saw this unfamiliar woman, Ling Ruo just thought that he was looking in the wrong place. After a while, he remembered that Ama had mentioned two rough servants at home last time, and thought that this was one of them.
Nowadays, the situation at home is much better than before, especially after Shi Houde's downfall. In addition to his salary, Ling Zhu also received Bingtan Jing, and Ling Ruo often helped the family. Ling Zhu couldn't bear that Fucha's housework was too hard to do all day long.
Two maids were specially hired to take care of some heavy work.
"I'm looking for Mr. Ling, is he here?" Ling Ruo asked Yan without mentioning his identity.
"Replying to this noble man, my husband went out for a visit in the same year. He has not returned home yet, but my wife is at home." Although the servant woman did not know Ling Ruo, she saw that she was dressed in luxurious clothes and had a graceful demeanor. She was accompanied by a sedan bearer and a girl.
Knowing that his identity must be extraordinary, he was still polite in his words, and then asked cautiously: "I don't know what the name of this noble man is, so I might as well go in and inform you, Madam."
After Shuixiu glanced at Ling Ruo, she stepped forward and said, "My master is Fu Jin of Prince Yong's Mansion, and she is also the eldest daughter of Master Ling."
The servant girl had long known that the eldest daughter of her employer had married into Prince Yong's Mansion as Fujin, and she was quite popular with Prince Yong. However, she did not expect that this woman was the one in front of her. She was so panicked that she repeatedly leaned over and said, "I don't know that it was Fujin who arrived, but I didn't go far to greet him.
