Chapter 434: Shoukang Palace

Happy time always passes very quickly. It feels like we have just had lunch, but the curtain has already quietly fallen. The sun sets in the west, and thousands of rays of light turn the sky red, blooming with the last splendor before the night.

Ling Ruo personally delivered Mo Yu to the gate of the palace, gave her two red gold necklaces with pearls embedded in them, took her back to her two children, and asked her to come to the palace as often as she could.

Watching Mo Yu leave, Shui Xiu helped Ling Ruo, who was a little disappointed, to go back. However, when she was approaching Chengqian Palace, she suddenly said: "I want to go to Shoukang Palace for a walk."

Shuixiu raised her slender eyebrows slightly, but she didn't say anything. She directly helped her walk to Shoukang Palace. Along the way, she kept meeting palace people who were lighting street lamps. When she saw Ling Ruo coming over, she stopped.

They all knelt down and saluted.

Everyone in the Forbidden City knows that although Concubine Xi is not the master of the harem, nor does she have the power to co-manage the Sixth Palace like Concubine Nian, she has the deepest favor of the current emperor. Countless people are jealous, but no one can

Take away a penny.

Shoukang Palace is located on the west side of Cining Palace. The yellow glazed tiles shine like gold under the setting sun, covering up some of the twilight atmosphere of Shoukang Palace.

Outside the courtyard wall, there are corridors in the east, west and north. There are more than ten rooms in the west corridor, and those who live in them are all the palace servants of Shoukang Palace.

As soon as Ling Ruo entered, he saw Fang Lian'er and several palace maids playing shuttlecock in the courtyard, moving forward and backward in various tricks. There was a little eunuch beside him who was counting, but he had already kicked more than a hundred times.

Seeing Ling Ruo come in, Fang Lian'er hooked her toes, and the shuttlecock with four colorful goose feathers drew a graceful arc in the air, and then landed steadily on a white jade-like palm.

"You guys keep kicking." Fang Lian'er casually threw the shuttlecock to one of the palace maids, and walked towards Ling Ruo. Looking at Fang Lian'er approaching, Ling Ruo smiled slightly, leaned forward and said, "I have seen Mrs. Xi.

Concubine." Fang Lian'er is the late emperor's concubine. Although she has no power and power now, she is really Ling Ruo's elder in terms of seniority.

"No courtesy." Fang Lian'er raised her hand, her expression seemingly indifferent, but if you look carefully, you will find a deep smile in her eyes.

Because Shoukang Palace was used to house the late emperor's concubines, there were many palaces and pavilions. Fang Lian'er now lives in Fuyuexuan on the west side.

After sending the waiting palace attendants away, Fang Lian'er poured a cup of tea for Ling Ruo and said with a smile: "Sister, why do you have time to see me today?" Although they have different identities, they have always treated each other as sisters in private.

, has not changed in more than ten years.

Ling Ruo held the lukewarm tea cup and looked around. The layout here is elegant, but it is a little too small. It is different from Qixiang Palace. "Since you moved into Shoukang Palace, I have never had free time."

Come here, I suddenly remembered it today, so I came over to see how it is, are you still getting used to it?"

"Can I still move back to Qixiang Palace if I don't get used to it?" Fang Lian'er's expression dimmed slightly, but she quickly said calmly: "It's just a place to live. It's the same everywhere. Sister, don't worry about me.

"

Ling Ruo hummed and said, "If there is anything missing, just send someone to tell me and I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take care of it for you."

Fang Lian'er could feel Ling Ruo's concern from the bottom of her heart, and said movedly: "Although this place is not as good as Qixiang Palace, there is nothing missing. Sister, don't worry."

Ling Ruo glanced at her with a half-smile and said, "Don't worry, you are in the mood to kick the shuttlecock."

Hearing her talk about this, Fang Lian'er couldn't help but smile and said: "I have nothing to do these days, so I made a shuttlecock and played around with it. Sister, you can't expect me to follow those concubines and concubines and go to the Buddhist hall all day long.

Let's worship the Buddha, but I can't calm down my mind." Although she is called a concubine, in the final analysis, she is not even thirty years old this year.

Without waiting for Ling Ruo to answer, she sighed again and said: "Even these few shuttlecock kicks are not so casual. There may be many people secretly arranging my fault at the moment."

It is normal for palace concubines to kick the shuttlecock, but Fang Lian'er's identity at this moment is that of a concubine. In this Shoukang Palace, only the sound of chanting sutras and the sound of wooden fish exist reasonably.

Ling Ruo brushed her clothes nonchalantly and said, "If they like knitting, just go and knit. Youyou can never stop talking, as long as you don't do anything wrong." After a while, she said, "Go ahead.

If you have nothing to do in the future, please come and sit in my palace more often, and Hongli will often think of you."

Speaking of Hongli, Fang Lian'er suddenly remembered something, "By the way, sister, isn't Yi Fei's seventeenth elder brother already an adult and already building a mansion? Why does she also live in Shoukang Palace?"

"It's Concubine Yi." After correcting Fang Lian'er's mistake, she said calmly and calmly: "Concubine Yi and the Queen Mother are like sisters, and they have served the late emperor together for many years. They have the best relationship. Now because of the Queen Mother,

In memory of the late Emperor who fell ill in bed, the Queen Mother's illness will be cured faster if Princess Yi is with her."

Fang Lian'er suddenly said: "I see, so after the Queen Mother recovers from her illness, Princess Yi will go to the Seventeenth Brother's house to live her old life?"

"Maybe." Ling Ruo agreed vaguely, but she knew very well that Princess Yi would never leave the palace for the rest of her life. Accompanying the Queen Mother was just an excuse. The real reason was that Yinzhen did not allow her to leave Shoukang.

Palace. Even if the Queen Mother recovers from her illness, there will be one reason after another for Princess Yi to stay in the palace.

When the late emperor was buried, Concubine Yi knelt in front of the Queen Mother. Although Yinzhen didn't say anything at the time, she felt extremely unhappy. Everything now was done to punish Concubine Yi for her transgression.

Since coming out of Fuyuexuan, the sky has completely darkened, and the palace lanterns have replaced the skylight, illuminating the palace courtyard.

"Master, are we going back?" Shuixiu asked softly when she saw her coming out.

Ling Ruo raised her hand to support the loose pearl flowers on her temples, looked up at the dusk sky and said softly: "I also want to see an old friend."

"Yes." Shuixiu agreed, holding Ling Ruo's hand and walking slowly towards Naxiangju. The person living there was Shi Qiuci. When she saw Naxiangju from a distance, Shuixiu suddenly said softly: "

Master, have you thought of how to deal with Concubine Jing?"

Ling Ruo glanced at her and said calmly: "What do you think Concubine Jing cares about most at the moment?"

"What matters most?" Shui Xiu murmured and repeated, unable to think of an answer for a moment. When the late emperor was here, what Concubine Jing cared about most was the favor of the late Emperor. Now that she is already a concubine, even if she is respected in the future,

Being a concubine is nothing more than a false title, and it is not the same as being an imperial concubine.

Just when she was puzzled, Ling Ruoyun's light and clear voice suddenly came to her ears, "It's the twenty-third elder brother. What Concubine Jing cares about most at the moment is the twenty-third elder brother, because she herself has been under the late emperor's control for a long time."

When it collapsed, there was no way out, and all the glory and wealth could only depend on this only son."

Following these words, the sharp look in Ling Ruo's eyes flashed away.
