Ling Ruo lightly tapped the handrail with her finger and said: "It doesn't matter, it has to be calculated. We are always just one step away; but we may not have no chance." At this point, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "Sister, tell me,
What will happen if we reveal this matter to Nian?"
"You mean to ask Nian to find trouble for the queen?" As he said this, Wen Ruyan's eyes gradually brightened up. Hong Sheng was Nian's heart and soul, and now that Hong Sheng died tragically, Nian wished he could be alive.
Eating the murderer's flesh, even if it was just a one-sided statement, was enough to make her lose her cool. This was really a good idea.
Ling Ruo nodded affirmatively and said: "Yes, although it is not enough to bring down the queen, it is enough to give her a headache for a while."
Guarjia seemed a little hesitant, "But, will she suspect that this is our trick? So she won't be fooled?"
"Sister, you can rest assured about this. Even if she really suspects that this is a trick, she has no intention to distinguish it. What Nian needs most now is a channel to vent her pain of losing her son. Believe me, she will definitely be fooled."
Wen Ruyan said with certainty, because to a certain extent, she and Nian were the same, so she could understand Nian's current mood very well.
When I came out of Yanxi Palace, it was the hottest time of the day. I was sweating all over after just a few steps. However, Lingruo said to Guarjia who was raising her hands to cover the sun: "Sister, are you interested in accompanying me?"
Shall I take a walk?”
Guarjia glanced at her in astonishment, then laughed and said, "Walking outside in such a day is really a test for me. Why, but is there something I can't figure out in my heart?"
Ling Ruo smiled bitterly and said, "I really can't hide anything from my sister. I have something to say to my sister."
Guarjia thought for a while and said: "Then go to my place. You don't have to walk. I'm afraid I'll faint after walking a few steps. It just so happened that I just dipped a honeydew melon shipped from Xinjiang this morning.
, take it out and eat it now, it is the best way to relieve the heat."
"Okay." Ling Ruoyi got on the shoulder and followed Guarjia to Xianfu Palace. Before entering the palace, he saw a woman in palace clothes standing under the eaves, with eyebrows like willows.
The leaves and eyes are like apricot flowers. When you turn your eyes for a moment, there seem to be countless flowers and leaves flying around.
, people couldn't take their eyes off her. Ling Ruo recognized her. She was the show girl who entered the palace last year. She was the daughter of the leader Liu Man. Her beauty was extremely outstanding among the show girls in the same class. Only Tong Jia could compare with her. However, due to her family background,
As a result, she only registered a permanent presence.
Mrs. Liu saw them coming, put her hands on her waist and saluted, and said politely: "I have seen Concubine Xi and Concubine Jin."
"Liu Changzai doesn't need to be polite." Ling Ruo supported the palace servant's hand and motioned for Liu to get up. On the other hand, Guarjia said: "Didn't I tell you that there is no need for such a hot day?
Come here every day to say hello, and besides, there are no such rules in the palace."
Mrs. Liu smiled softly, like willows and poplars blowing in the spring breeze, she looked very comfortable, "I have been in the Xianfu Palace these days, and I have been under the care of the empress. I should pay my respects to the empress. Besides, I came from my concubine."
, it’s only a short distance, and it’s shaded by trees, so it’s not too hot.”
Guarjia smiled and said: "That's all, you won't listen to anything I say, but you've been here for a long time?"
Before Mrs. Liu could speak, the palace attendant next to her had already said, "As for your Majesty, your Majesty just came out when the master came over. It has been almost more than an hour."
Mrs. Liu hurriedly shouted, "How can I allow you, a little girl, to talk too much in front of the empress? Why don't you step back quickly?"
Guarjia's eyes flashed and he said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, so are you. Since I'm not here, you can just go back. Why wait here all the time? And how did the people in that incident do things? How can they let go?
It's really unreasonable for you to stand outside like this. Wu Hai, how dare you neglect Liu Changzai? "
Wu Hai, the chief eunuch of Xianfu Palace, was waiting aside. When he heard what Guarjia said, he hurriedly stepped forward and said with grievance: "Master, how dare you neglect Liu Changzai? Master is here."
I don’t know how many times I have tried to persuade you, but Liu Changzai insists on standing outside and waiting, so how can I force myself to do so?”
Mrs. Liu also said from the side: "Yes, Madam, this is my concubine's own wish. I don't blame Eunuch Wu."
Only then did Guarjia's face turn from gloomy to clear. She took Mrs. Liu's hand and said with concern: "Don't do this again in the future. Otherwise, if you really get a heatstroke, how will you make me feel so bad?"
Ms. Liu was moved and said: "Thank you, Madam, for caring."
Guarjia nodded and said, "Since you are here, I will go in and sit with you for a while. I wonder what your Majesty wishes?" In front of outsiders, she maintained due respect for Ling Ruo.
Ling Ruo nodded and agreed, "That's naturally good. I and my concubine are just chatting casually. It will be more lively with one more person."
Mrs. Liu saluted again, bowed her head and said, "Then I will disturb you two ladies."
After entering the palace, Guarjia took the face towel handed to her by the palace attendant, wiped her cheeks and said softly: "It's really hot and frightening today. After a while, my face turned red, and I don't know if I will get sunburned."
"Then he ordered the palace servants to go down and cut the melons in the well and bring them up.
The palace servant moved very quickly. In a short time, he put the cut and peeled melon in an ice bowl and brought it up. He put a piece in his mouth with a silver skewer. When he bit it gently, he could feel the sweet juice along with it.
The coolness flowed into the throat, eliminating the heat that had just entered the body.
Ling Ruo was about to sign another piece when he suddenly saw Guarjia smiling over there, and asked curiously: "What are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing. I just thought about last summer when there was a drought in the capital. All the ice in the ice cellar was used by the emperor to help the victims. Each palace and courtyard only had one piece of ice at most every day. It was not as comfortable and refreshing as it is now."
"I have also heard about this matter, and I also know that Concubine Xi is so upright and upright that she took the initiative to request the emperor to reduce the use of ice in Chengqian Palace. This integrity really makes me admire her."
Listening to Mrs. Liu's words, Ling Ruo couldn't help but laugh and said: "What's wrong with integrity? I actually didn't do anything. Besides, the first person to reduce the use of ice was the emperor. Liu Changzai should admire the emperor."
right."
Mrs. Liu said seriously: "Both the Emperor and Concubine Xi are people who care about the sufferings of the people and deserve the respect of my concubines."
"Okay, okay, don't praise me, otherwise I won't be able to sit still." Ling Ruo's words made the two of them chuckle. After eating a bowl of melon, Liu stood up and left.
Jia didn't stay much, but ordered Congxiang to send the remaining half of the melon to Liu's courtyard.
After Mrs. Liu thanked her and left, Mrs. Guarjia bit the silver stick that she had not yet collected and said with a half-smile, "What do you think of Mrs. Liu?"
Ling Ruo didn't answer but asked, "Does she come here every day to say hello? Rain or shine?"
"Yes, rain or shine." Gualga replied with a deep smile.
