Wen Ruqing played with her fingers and said disapprovingly: "I didn't say anything, but let me take care of the people around me in the future and don't make such mistakes again."
"That's good." After saying these three words, Wen Ruyan suddenly fell silent. After a long time, his voice sounded again, "Ruqing, do you blame your sister?"
Wen Ruqing knew what she was going to say next, but she pretended to be puzzled and said, "Why do you ask, sister?"
Wen Ruyan's hands were a little cold and she said solemnly: "Just now in Chengqian Palace, Concubine Xi accused you of being the murderer of the emperor's heir and took off your hairpin and clothes. I, the elder sister, was obviously beside you, but nothing happened.
You didn’t do anything, you didn’t even say a word of mercy, you must hate me in your heart, right?”
Wen Ruqing lowered her head and thought for a while, then said in a low voice: "I was really angry when I saw my sister ignoring me before, but then I thought about it carefully and was not angry anymore. In that case, even if my sister was willing to help me,
Concubine Xi will not be merciful, but will put my sister in a dilemma. Besides, I was cheated by Concubine Xi, and my sister is the one who is most sad."
Her words made Wen Ruyan sigh with emotion, "You are really grown up now that you can think of this, and it also impresses my sister."
"It's natural." Wen Ruqing wrinkled her straight nose proudly, and then said with some worry: "Just now in Kunning Palace, I saw that Concubine Xi's face was not very good. Sister, Concubine Xi has always been very fond of me.
Prejudice, do you think she will refuse to let me go this time?"
Wen Ruyan patted her hand and comforted her: "Don't think nonsense, you have been proven innocent. Even if Concubine Xi is prejudiced against you, she can't do anything to you. Besides, my sister is here, as long as you have not committed any crime."
, she won’t even be able to lay a finger on you.”
"Sister, you are so kind." Wen Ruqing hugged Wen Ruyan's arm and smiled sweetly. After a while, she said: "By the way, sister, I want to go to Xianfu Palace when I want to explain this matter to Sister Liu in person.
To save her from any grudges, can you accompany me then?"
"Okay, everything is up to you. Just tell me when you are going to go." Wen Ruyan responded lovingly, "Okay, go back to the house and freshen up. I will go over to see you later.
.”
Just as Wen Ruqing was about to agree, something suddenly came up, "Sister, Piao Xiang died, and I am missing one of the palace staff. It is not enough. Can you ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send someone else over?"
"Okay, I will order someone to tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If you feel it is inconvenient now, let Suyun serve you for a few days."
Wen Ruqing stuck out her pink tongue and said, "If Aunt Suyun serves me, won't sister's side be in chaos? I don't dare to deal with this crime, so I'd better bear with it for the time being."
Wen Ruyan was dumbfounded by what she said. He pointed at her smooth forehead and said, "You girl, you dare to make jokes about your sister, but your skin is itchy?"
"No way." Wen Ruqing smiled and ducked away, saying softly: "I just want to make my sister happy. Okay, I'm going to wash up now. Sister, you can come to my room later to use it."
Is the dinner good? I'll ask the imperial kitchen to cook a few more dishes."
"Of course what you said is good." After Wen Ruqing left, the doting in Wen Ruyan's eyes gradually faded, and finally disappeared...
At nightfall, Wen Ruyan went to Wen Ruqing's room to have dinner as promised. After eating a few mouthfuls, Suyun came in and said, "Master, Mr. Wen, Eunuch Qian from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is here with several palace people.
, said to be a palace servant serving the master and Wen Guiren.
Wen Ruqing put down her ebony chopsticks in surprise and said, "Hey, sister is so fast. She asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to bring someone over so quickly."
"It's none of my business, I haven't sent anyone to inform the Ministry of Internal Affairs yet." Wen Ruyan was also surprised, but since everyone was here, there was no reason why they didn't know it, so he immediately said: "Let them come in.
"
Su Yun agreed, and not long after he went down, he brought in Qian Moduo, the deputy director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, followed by a group of palace maids and eunuchs, all of whom were pretty and very pleasing to the eye.
As soon as Qian Moduo came in, he laughed and said, "I want to pay my respects to Concubine Hui and to Noble Wen. Good luck to you two!"
"Get up." Wen Ruyan said lightly, her eyes swept over the palace people, and said: "Why did Eunuch Qian suddenly bring so many people to this palace today? Could it be that he went to the wrong place?"
"The empress is joking." Qian Moduo's wrinkled face smiled like a thousand-petaled chrysanthemum, "After the empress was promoted to the throne, ten more palace servants should have been assigned to the empress' palace, but during this period, the palace
There are many things to do, and the House of Internal Affairs has never been idle. The servants and the chief steward are so busy that they can't even touch the floor. In addition, no new palace servants have come in, so the affairs on the empress' side have been delayed.
." At this point, he was afraid that Wen Ruyan would not like it, so he hurriedly explained: "But I have always kept it in my heart and never forgotten it. No, as soon as I had some free time, I hurriedly brought people over.
, I hope your Majesty will forgive me." His eyes turned and landed on the curious face of Wen Ruqing, "In addition, Wen Guiren is missing someone, so we can make up for it together this time.
Wen Ruyan nodded. Of course she knew this in her heart. However, she had enough people around her, so she never urged the Ministry of Internal Affairs. She didn't expect that Momo Qian would take the initiative to come over today. It was really strange. Apart from the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs,
Apart from showing some attentiveness to the concubines who are legitimately favored by her, she is indifferent to others and does not do many things without prompting.
Wen Ruqing looked at the people behind Qian Moduo and asked, "Eunuch Qian, are these all people?"
Qian Moduo said hurriedly: "I'll tell you, Mr. Wen, there are all of them. Including yours, there are eleven in total. I have brought the best servants from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You and Concubine Hui have a look."
If you are satisfied with it, if you think any one is not good, I will bring it back and choose another person."
Wen Ruyan kept his eyes on Qian Moduo. Qian Moduo noticed it and raised his eyes carefully. However, when he came into contact with Wen Ruyan's almost scrutinizing gaze, his body trembled slightly and he quickly lowered his head again.
In fact, Qian Moduo had forgotten all about Wen Ruyan a long time ago. Although Wen Ruyan was the concubine Hui, everyone in the palace knew how she came to be the concubine.
What kind of favor, but the emperor pitied Princess Jingyue for marrying far away, so he promoted her to the position of empress; not to mention
It is said that Concubine Hui and Concubine Xi have become much estranged again, and are no longer as close as before. In such a situation, Yanxi Palace does not rush the important people, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs naturally delays them as long as they can, until Yinzhen orders Concubine Hui to assist Concubine Xi
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has just paid some attention to taking care of the harem, and plans to send people over when they are free.
