Hearing that Nian was confusing right and wrong in front of Yinzhen, Yinzhen made Hongli kneel under the scorching sun. When he finally passed out, Ling Ruo suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a sharp color hovering in the carefully painted phoenix eyes.
Shui Yue, who accidentally caught her gaze, felt a chill all over his body. However, this feeling did not last long. After a while, the fierceness in Ling Ruo's eyes slowly dissipated and turned into a normal color.
He lowered his head and stroked the slightly prickly embroidery on the sleeves. One side was smooth and the other was prickly. They were completely different, just like the women in the palace, who were always facing each other.
There was nothing she could do about what had happened before, but in the future, she would do her best to protect Hongli and prevent him from suffering any further injustice.
Looking at each other with sad eyes, the woman in the bronze mirror has a high bun and is surrounded by green beads. Although she does not say anything, there is a kind of grace and nobility flowing between her eyebrows. As for the previous elegant and plain appearance, she has long since disappeared. And this,
This is her true appearance as Niu Hulu Lingruo.
After looking around and confirming that nothing was wrong, she held Shuixiu's hand and said, "Let's go, first go to Cining Palace to pay respects to the Queen Mother."
Today is her first day back in the palace. According to the rules, she should go to greet the Queen Mother first. Just when she was about to go out, two people were rushing to Chengqian Palace. Flowerpot-soled shoes were stepping on the bluestone pavement.
There was a rushing sound in the palace corridor, pulling the palace people who followed them far behind. These two people were Wen Ruyan and Guarjia. They both received the news early in the morning that Ling Ruo had returned.
Palace, surprised and rushed over impatiently.
During such a quick step, Wen Ruyan's left foot accidentally turned, but thanks to Guarjia's support, she didn't fall down. Wen Ruyan didn't even bend down to rub the stinging left foot, and just pushed Guarjia.
Erjia quickly helped herself over.
"Sister, we already know that Ruo'er has returned to the palace, so you should walk slower so that she doesn't disappear." Guarjia advised helplessly.
"I can't really let go of Ruo'er until I see her with my own eyes. Okay, let's go there quickly." Under Wen Ruyan's constant urging, Guarjia had no choice but to shake her head and help her move towards the place where she was already in sight.
As she walked towards the Chengqian Palace, her seemingly indifferent expression was filled with joy and excitement.
"Sister?" Ling Ruo was about to board the carriage when he unexpectedly saw Wen Ruyan and Guarjia, who were out of breath, appearing at the entrance of the palace. After a moment of surprise, she was filled with joy and endured the excitement.
Yu greeted him with a sour smile in his eyes: "You two sisters came so early!"
Wen Ruyan didn't care to speak. She took Ling Ruo's hand and looked up and down for a while. After a long time, she let out a sigh of relief and said, "I have been looking forward to it day and night for the past six months, and I finally look forward to the day when you come back. Okay.
,very good!"
Guarjia laughed next to her and said: "You don't know, as soon as my sister knew you were back, she became as anxious as if she was something. She pulled her to walk and run. I have never walked so fast in my life.
The palace ladies have seen it, and if word spreads, I'm afraid we will be accused of misconduct." The palace concubine is a model for women in the world, and she pays attention to the etiquette in everything she says and does. A quick move like the one just now reached the ears of the queen.
, another rebuke was unavoidable. Even so, Guarjia's eyes were filled with joy that could not be concealed, but she was more reserved than Wen Ruyan. In the palace, the rich clothes and fine food that others envied were within reach.
It is possible, but ordinary affection is rare here. Because of this, they particularly cherish this affection that has been accumulated over more than ten years.
"If they want to talk, let them talk. The one in Kunning Palace will be able to troubleshoot things for you even if nothing happens." Wen Ruyan sneered. The conflict between them and the Queen had already become so acute that it could not be adjusted.
We will never stop until we fight to the death.
"I'm sorry for making you two sisters worried." Ling Ruo felt quite guilty. She left the palace and made many people who cared about her worry and sad.
"Between you and me, there is no need to say sorry." Guarjia patted Ling Ruo's hand and said with emotion: "Seeing you come back safely is more important to me and Sister Wen than anything else."
"I know." Ling Ruo smiled, her heart filled with warmth.
"By the way, are you going to Cining Palace to pay your respects to the Queen Mother?" Wen Ruyan looked at her husband and changed the topic. In fact, she still had many things to ask Ling Ruo, especially what happened to her outside the palace.
Wen Ruyan was very clear about the matter. If nothing happened, it would have been impossible for Ling Ruojian to delay his return for half a year, and Yin Zhen would have to pick him up in person. However, it was not appropriate to ask these questions at the moment.
Ling Ruo nodded and said, "Yes, I originally thought that after I went to Cining Palace to pay my respects, I would go talk to my two sisters and reminisce about old times, but I never thought that you would come here first."
Guarjia hesitated for a moment and said: "Ruo'er, I heard from the palace servants that when you came back last night, you followed the emperor through the Qing Gate, right?"
"Exactly." Facing the Guarjia family, Ling Ruo had nothing to hide, not to mention that this matter had spread throughout the harem, so she couldn't hide it even if she wanted to.
The Great Qing Sect... Guarjia and Wen Ruyan both lost their minds for a moment. They don't know what the Great Qing Sect means to a concubine. That is a step that even the current queen is not qualified to take! Then
The honor of Yi Yi means that Ling Ruo's status in Yinzhen's heart is like that of his wife.
In the palace, I don't know how many people will be crazy and jealous about it. The emperor's favor has always been a double-edged sword. It can make your status in the palace skyrocket, and it can also make you make countless enemies.
Such attention is not a good thing for Lingruo who has just returned to the palace.
Seeing the worried faces of Guarjia and Wen Ruyan, Ling Ruoyan didn't understand the reason. He lowered his head and stroked the vivid embroidery on the handkerchief, "The emperor's holy will last night, I can't refuse, so I have to do this."
Of."
"It's good that the Emperor values you, but I'm afraid that someone will take the opportunity to cause trouble." Guarjia said solemnly, with lingering worry in her eyes, "Recently, the man from Kunning Palace often goes to Cining Palace to pay his respects.
Woolen cloth."
It was Yinzhen who allowed Ling Ruo to enter the Great Qing Sect. No matter how dissatisfied others were, they would not dare to say anything on their faces, but the Queen Mother was different. She was the biological mother of the Emperor. In terms of status, no one in the palace could compare to her.
If he wanted to reprimand Ling Ruo, I'm afraid even the emperor wouldn't be able to say anything.
"I guessed it, but now that the matter is at this point, we can only take one step at a time. Besides, even if we don't make things difficult here, our queen will still make things difficult elsewhere. When I return to the palace this time, the most thorny thing is her.
"
"That's right." Guarjia and Wen Ruyan glanced at each other and said, "That's all. Sister Wen and I will accompany you to pay your respects to the Queen Mother. When the time comes, we can also help you a little so that you won't be disappointed.
One person can handle it."
Ling Ruo was moved in her heart, but said: "I can go alone, and I won't implicate the two sisters."
