Shumulus asked curiously: "Why is this? Is it because they are spending too much energy swimming all the time?"
Ling Ruo shook his head and said, "No, it's because they don't know what it means to be full. As long as there is food, they will keep eating until their stomachs burst."
Mr. Shu Mulu couldn't bear it and said repeatedly: "Ah, that's too pitiful."
Ling Ruo said disapprovingly: "We feel pitiful. Maybe the fish don't think that they feel happy if they can eat it all the time. People are not fish, so they can never understand the happiness and sadness of fish. In fact, sometimes, even people themselves can't tell the difference.
What is happiness and what is sadness? Do you think so, Mr. Hui Noble?"
Mrs. Shumulu was aroused by her feeling sad just now. She felt that the medicine she drank in her stomach was stirring again, as if she was about to vomit it out. She couldn't help but stroke her chest.
"Hui Gui, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Ling Ruo asked with concern.
Mrs. Shu Mulu said hurriedly: "I am fine, I think I just ate too much for breakfast, so I feel a little nauseous."
"That's good." Ling Ruo nodded and said, "Speaking of which, this is the first time I've chatted with you since the noble Hui entered the palace. It's really rare."
"The empress has a distinguished status and is taking care of the fourth elder brother. I dare not disturb her." In fact, if it hadn't been for this unexpected encounter, Mrs. Shumulu would never have been alone with Ling Ruo, because she knew that the queen had never liked this.
As Concubine Xi, she was promoted by the Queen, so how could she get so close to Concubine Xi?
How could Ling Ruo not know what she was thinking, but he didn't expose it? He just said: "Sir Brother is now old and understands many things. I no longer need to interfere with everything. As for our noble status, we all serve the emperor."
Yes, there is no distinction between high and low."
Mrs. Shumulu smiled and said nothing, and stood for a while. When she was about to make an excuse and leave, Ling Ruohu said: "Looking at Hui Gui, I often think of the dance you performed on the drum on New Year's Eve, and the beauty of the dance."
, the ingenuity of the conception is really astonishing to me.”
Shu Mulu said humbly: "I'm just kidding, how can my concubine's vulgar dancing skills attract the attention of your Majesty?"
"Hui Gui, you don't have to be polite. Besides, it's your blessing that the Queen Empress gives you this opportunity to dance, and thus you can win the Emperor's attention." Ling Ruoling's lips curled up slightly, and he added: "But the Queen Empress has
Haven't I told you that your eyes look like the same person?"
Eyes like humans? This was the first time Shumulu heard this. She shook her head and said, "The queen has never told me this before, so please let me know clearly."
"Well." Ling Ruo looked at her who was slightly nervous and said, "She is a woman that the emperor likes very much. Sometimes when I look at you, I always think it is her. I think the emperor will also have this illusion.
"
These words made Mrs. Shumulu's pretty face pale, and she subconsciously wanted to touch her eyes. These eyes... Could it be that the emperor favored her because of these similar eyes?
Seeing that his master's expression was wrong, Ruliu said, "Concubine Xi, may I ask which woman the emperor Zhongyi is?"
Ling Ruo would not say Nalan Meier's name, but just said: "I can't tell you this, and it won't do any good if you know it. But being able to be like her is also your master's blessing. One pair of eyes can change the position of a noble person."
, what's wrong with that? And according to the emperor's love for Hui Gui, if Hui Gui can give birth to a son and a half daughter, the concubine title is not impossible."
Ru Liu was speechless. Although she didn't think so in her heart, she couldn't think of anything to refute. She could only look at Shu Mulu helplessly, lest she feel sad.
Mrs. Shumulu forced out an ugly smile and said, "Ms. Cheng, I'm afraid that I won't be so lucky."
"Hui Gui, please don't belittle yourself. Who knows whether you will be blessed until the end." Ling Ruo gave her a meaningful look and said, "Okay, it's time for me to go back. Hui Gui, do you want to follow me?"
Let’s go sit together at Chengqian Palace.”
Shumulu bowed his head and said, "I still have something to do, so I won't bother you."
"Okay, come over when you are free. I welcome you at any time." After Ling Ruo left, Shumulu staggered a bit, and Ru Liu quickly helped her sit down on the stone bench by the pool, "Master
, Don’t think too much, maybe Concubine Xi is just making up nonsense. If the Emperor really has a woman he likes, then why haven’t I seen a concubine with eyes similar to my master’s in the palace?”
Shu Mululu was not relieved by her explanation, and said in a low voice: "Although I don't know why Concubine Xi said this to me, I intuitively said that what she said is the truth. In other words, what the emperor was thinking when he saw me
What I am thinking of is not Shu Mulu Jiahui.
The name is another person that none of us know." At this point, she suddenly revealed a heart-wrenching smile, "Ru Liu, I told you just now that the emperor treats me with great favor, but it turns out that's not the case either.
, he just regarded me as a substitute."
Ru Liu tightly held Shu Mulu's cold hand and said, "Master, don't think about these things. There is no need to make you feel sad."
"Substitute... chess piece..." The smile on Mr. Shu Mulu's face continued to expand, but the sadness became more and more obvious, "There is no one named Shu Mulu Jiahui. Ru Liu, do you think I am a joke?"
, a joke that was made fun of at random.”
Ruliu shook her head hurriedly, "No, you are Hui Guiren, the emperor's beloved concubine, it is not a joke. Even if..." She bit her lip and whispered: "Even if the emperor now regards the master as a substitute, one day,
You will also understand how good your master is and truly fall in love with him."
"Heh." Mrs. Shumulu sneered, obviously not believing what Ruliu said. There were countless women in the palace, and a group of rookie women were selected every three years. Her appearance was not outstanding among the women, so how could she be so?
With such confidence and expectation, maybe she can only be a substitute in her whole life.
Ru Liu was afraid that she would have random thoughts, so she quickly said: "Master, let's go back."
Mr. Shu Mulu was about to nod when he suddenly remembered something and changed his words: "I want to go to Kunning Palace."
Ru Liu was startled by her and blurted out: "Master, don't you want to question the Queen about concealing the substitute? No, you can't even tolerate the medicine, so why bother about this anymore, if you make the Queen angry,
That would be troublesome."
"I know, but just because I can't even endure the medicine, I want to ask her why she didn't tell me this in advance. Even if she is a substitute, at least she should make it clear to me, instead of like now,
I don’t know anything, I have to wait for others to tell me.”
Shu Mulu guessed that Concubine Xi probably had no good intentions when she told her this, but she didn't care about so many things. She endured the pain of having no heirs and was willing to become a pawn in the hands of the queen, but she didn't want to end up losing herself.
