"But there won't be any good place for us to go after we leave here. If you hadn't pressed Sister Huiqiu too hard, you wouldn't have annoyed her." The other maid was worried, and her words could not help but be filled with blame.
Meaning.
"Are you blaming me? Humph, who coveted those clothes that were thick and made of good-looking materials?" These words made the palace maid blush and muttered: "Then... what should we do now? Those people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs must be
They won’t give us any good jobs.”
Hui Qiu said scornfully: "Why are you panicking? Have you forgotten what I told you before? Humph, wait for now. I'll go and beg Aunt Chun to see if the concubine needs someone to serve you."
Hearing this, the other two people also remembered the matter and hurriedly said: "Then everything will be troublesome for Sister Huiqiu, but don't forget the two of us."
Hui Qiu smiled coldly, Hui agreed, and showed off her power to drive them away? Well, wait until she becomes a concubine, let's see what she can do with it.
Let's talk about how Shumulu went to Kunning Palace and met Gualjia on the way. Gualjia only saw her on the day of the canonization ceremony, but she left a deep impression. After all, those eyes were the same as Nalan's.
Meier is very similar.
"Where are you going according to Hui's promise?" she asked with a slight smile, her expression was very cordial.
"My concubine is sitting in the house with nothing to do. She went out to walk around. There is no place she wants to go for the moment." Shu Mulu said with her head lowered. Even she herself didn't know why she wanted to hide the matter of going to Kunning Palace. It was just her intuition.
Don't want too many people to know.
"I see." Guarjia said noncommittally, and then said: "Where are the people who are waiting for you? Why did you let you run out alone?"
"I don't like having people following me, but I feel more comfortable alone." Mrs. Shumulu replied and said, "If I have nothing else to do, I will leave first."
"Go ahead. It rained yesterday and the road is a little slippery, so be careful." Guarga warned carefully.
"My concubine, please retire." Shumulu left, but she didn't know that Guarjia's eyes were following her.
After Shumulu disappeared, Guarjia finally looked away. That direction... seemed to be Kunning Palace. Was she going to see the queen? Why did she lie to herself that she was just taking a casual walk?
"Master, are we going back?" Cong Xiang asked from behind. They had been out for a while, and they estimated that the heater in Gualjia's hand was about to get cold.
Guarjia shook his head and said slowly: "No, let's go to Chengqian Palace."
"Yes." Congxiang agreed and helped Guarjia to go to Chengqian Palace. After entering the Nuan Pavilion, he saw Ling Ruo embroidering a red square handkerchief with mandarin ducks playing in the water. He said with a smile: "When will you like it?"
With such festive colors and patterns.”
Ling Ruo put down the embroidery booth in her hand, wiped her hands and said, "What's my use? I'm thinking that Han Yan will get married soon. Once the emperor decrees the marriage, the wedding will only take more than a month. By then,
It would be a bit hasty to prepare anymore, so why not take advantage of the free time and embroider some first."
"The dowry has been prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so why are you in a hurry?" Guarjia said as she took the embroidery booth next to her. A mandarin duck had already been embroidered, every detail was visible, and her expression was vivid, and she sighed: "
My sister’s embroidery skills are getting better and better.”
"When I have nothing to do every day, I just rely on this thing to pass the time. Anyone can become a master." Ling Ruo's words touched Guarjia's thoughts, and she looked a little sad. The women in the palace, in addition to looking forward to it every day,
Outside of the emperor's visit, the only thing she could do was pass the time by knitting and other things. Day after day, the embroidery work she produced was a bit better than that of some embroiderers who made a living from this.
Therefore, behind every piece of embroidery, there is endless emptiness and loneliness. Even though Ling Ruo is considered the most favored person in the palace, she still cannot escape from it.
"Although the dowry is prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as an aunt, I have to put some thought into it." Ling Ruo said this, then changed the subject and said: "By the way, why did sister come here at this time? It's a pity that I didn't take a nap, otherwise
I don’t want you to make this trip in vain.”
"It's nothing, just a whim." Guarjia put down the things in her hands and said, "After you said that, it seems that I have to prepare earlier, otherwise Sister Wen should say that I am not doing my best as a forehead mother.
"
After being quiet for a while, she suddenly said: "I just met Hui and agreed."
At the mention of this name, Ling Ruo was silent for a moment and said slowly: "What's wrong with her?"
"Although she didn't say anything, I saw that the clothes she was wearing had a few tangles and unwashed stains, and there was no one around to wait on her. I guess her life was not going well."
"The emperor has never summoned her to attend his bed, and it's just a promise. Naturally, it won't be much better." Ling Ruo said calmly while sipping the tea she had just brewed.
"I asked her where she was going, and she said she wanted to take a walk. But I saw in the direction she left that there was no other easy place to walk except Kunning Palace."
Ling Ruo raised her eyes suddenly, then lowered them again, letting the mist fill her eyes, "Sister, are you saying that she intends to find the queen?"
"Water flows to lower places and people go to higher places. How can anyone be willing to grow old alone in the deep palace." Guarjia said with emotion, and then said: "I'm not worried about others, I'm just afraid that she will become another person."
A Tong Jiali fell."
She lightly traced her finger along the rim of the cup, leaving a shallow watermark, "The Emperor is no longer the Prince Yong he used to be. You can tell just by looking at the fact that the Emperor hasn't called her for so long. What's more... Hui promised to only have one pair.
The eyes are similar, but how can they be so similar to Tong Jialiluo?"
Hearing what she said, Guarjia was a little relieved, "I hope so. Anyway, I still have lingering fears when I think of what happened at the beginning. But the queen still needs to be more careful. This woman is too good at looking for opportunities, making it difficult for people to guard against.
"
Ling Ruo smiled and said: "I know. By the way, I heard yesterday that Nian Gengyao won a small victory in Qinghai and is chasing those rebels. If everything goes well, the rebellion will be put down by the end of the year."
"This is good news." Guarjia sighed: "After eight months, the good news came one after another. First, the drought in the capital was relieved, and now even Qinghai has won the battle. Your Majesty
You can also breathe a sigh of relief.”
"But, having said that, if Nian Gengyao wins again this time, wouldn't the Nian family be even more arrogant in the palace? Now they are clearly on the queen's head. The queen doesn't say anything, but she doesn't know how aggrieved she is. Now I see
She can go around me as much as possible, so as not to have her find any way to seek bad luck on me."
"No." Ling Ruo was not worried at all, "Once Guo Luoke is pacified, Nian Gengyao will not be far away from death. The Nian family without Nian Gengyao is not worth mentioning at all."
"What does this mean?" Guarjia was shocked. She didn't know that Yinzhen was afraid of Nian Gengyao. After hearing what Ling Ruo said, she took a deep breath and said, "Listen to what you said, I
