I turned around and left after saying that. I didn't stop along the way. I took the sedan chair back to Jinghe Palace. Ignoring the doubts of the servants, I ordered Tao Yun to watch the door carefully and brought Rui Rong and Xiao Dai directly into the inner room.
Wen Lang was very happy to see Rui Rong come and was about to pull her into his arms when he suddenly noticed Rui Rong's strange behavior and became anxious,"Ruirong, what happened to you?"
Rui Rong's suppressed emotions were finally vented, but she could only cry and couldn't say anything. Even Wen Lang's comfort was pushed away by her, and she took two steps back and was about to kneel.
Wen Lang was so anxious that he pulled her up and stared at me. I shook my head and said,"I only managed to bring them back in time and don't know the details. Xiaodai, tell me, what exactly happened?”
Xiaodai wiped away her tears." Your Majesty, this servant really didn't disrespect Young Mistress Cheng. It was Young Mistress Cheng who suddenly bumped into me and then said that Miss had instructed this servant to bump into her. No matter how this servant explained, it was useless. Later, two consorts came and both sided with Young Mistress Cheng. They punished this servant and kept scolding Miss.”
"Two niangniang?" Wen Lang frowned and tilted his head to look at me." The two of them?”
Xiaodai sobbed and couldn't explain clearly. Seeing this, I shook my head."It's Yi Wanyi and Ming Liangyuan. She said that she was ordered by Xiuyi to visit the new young master.”
Wen Lang's expression softened a little and he comforted Rui Rong softly. I wasn't paying attention to this. I only asked Xiaodai,"What did they say about your Miss?"
Xiaodai looked at Rui Rong, not daring to speak. Rui Rong calmed down a little and stopped Xiaodai with her eyes.
Wen Lang saw this and hugged Rui Rong tightly.”
" Today, it was this servant who caused trouble, but they all said…" Xiaodai's voice became softer and softer, almost as if she couldn't hear it." They said that Miss was born lowly, uneducated, charming…seducing the Emperor…"
"Who dares to say that?!" Wen Lang's eyes were burning.”
"Brother Lang, don't be impatient. We don't have much time. You should accompany Ruirong."”
After saying that, he turned around and brought Xiaodai to the outer room. He said in a deep voice,"Xiaodai, no matter who is right or wrong today, you are wrong!”
Seeing Xiaodai's surprised and aggrieved expression, I said,"Do you know what this place is? In the harem, it was not always right or wrong. If they said that you offended them, you just had to ask for forgiveness. There was no need to explain anything. As masters, they would not always make things difficult for the servants, so there was no point. However, if you involve your Young Miss, it will be in line with their wishes. After entering the palace, don't expect your Young Miss to protect you everywhere. It should be you who protects her.”
Xiaodai nodded her head in a panic, looking a little frightened. I smiled and held her hand."Moreover, the two of them are only masters, not concubines. It seems that you still have to learn your rules.”
Looking at Xiaodai's red and swollen face, I asked Huan Pei to bring her down to apply medicine. I sat down alone and stared at a cup of tea in a daze.
After a while, Huan Pei and Huan Ling came in and stood at the side. We looked at each other and didn't make a sound. It wasn't until the sun was about to set that I got up and went in. When I saw Wen Lang and Rui Rong, I was about to speak when I heard someone's voice outside. Before I could be puzzled, I saw Huan Ling and Chang Yuan running in hurriedly."Miss! Rong Xiuyi and Ming Liangyuan came to find the Emperor, but Tao Yun could not stop them and had already entered the courtyard!”
I was shocked and quickly looked at Wen Lang. Rui Rong had just entered the palace and was not familiar with the etiquette system, but I was familiar with the rules of the harem. The chosen young master in the ritual stage had not been conferred a title, so she must not meet the emperor. She was not even allowed to take a step out of the Jincui Palace without being summoned. Now I have not reported Rong Xiuyi and brought Rui Rong to Jinghe Palace, which is already out of line. I also arranged for her to be alone with Wenlang, which is a great sin for both of us.
Wen Lang's face was filled with anger. Since when was it their turn to care about my whereabouts?”
As he was about to leave, Rui Rong and I were lightly pricked by the word "Zhen" in his mouth. Rui Rong seemed to have read the danger from our expressions, and I smelled danger from Wen Lang's words. I quickly stopped Wen Lang."Brother Lang, they must have nothing to fear when they rush over like this. It's just as well for you to go out and satisfy them. Rules are rules. No matter how much you protect them, we're in the wrong.”
Wen Lang understood that I was right, but he was unwilling."Do I have to hide from them?"
I knew that he had already agreed. I took Rui Rong's hand and patted it to appease her. I turned around and asked Chang Yuan,"Did they see you?"
Seeing Chang Yuan shake his head, I whispered a few words to Ring Bell before tidying my clothes and going to the outer hall.
Rong Xiuyi and Ming Liangyuan had already arrived at the door, followed by Tao Yun and Huan Pei who had nervous expressions. I hurriedly stepped forward and saluted them with a smile on my face."ChenQie pays her respects to Niangniang Xiu Yi. It is ChenQie's fault for not welcoming Elder Sister Rong when she arrived.”
I only focused on Rong Xiu Yi and didn't even look at Wang Yi Yao behind me.
"No need!" The one who spoke was Wang Yiyao." Empress Xiuyi is here to look for the Emperor.”
"Oh?" I replied to Rong Xiuyi," Why did the Empress come to my sister's place to find the Emperor? If she has something urgent to report to the Emperor, she should go to the Qianyuan Palace to ask for an audience."”
Rong Xiu Yi's voice was flat and emotionless,"The emperor didn't come?"
I smiled." I can't hide anything from sister. The emperor did come today, but he left a long time ago." If the elder sister had nothing urgent to do, it would be better to have dinner with the younger sister.”
Rong Xiu Yi stared at me as if he was thinking of something to say, as if he was waiting for Wang Yi Yao to speak.
Of course, Wang Yiyao wouldn't be quiet." Don't change the subject, Your Imperial Concubine. Someone clearly saw the Emperor enter Jinghe Palace and didn't leave. Then, you brought Shi Ruirong over. You say that the Emperor isn't here. Do you dare to let us in to take a look?”
Wang Yiyao wasn't a stupid person who didn't know her limits. Otherwise, Rong Xiu Yi wouldn't have brought her along to cause trouble. It was just that this woman had never been able to keep her cool. My deliberate neglect just now had already agitated her, and what I wanted was for her to speak without thinking.
My voice turned cold.”
Wang Yiyao was stunned by my question. I didn't wait for her to speak and casually replied,"Who are you speaking to bengong in?”
As usual, a third-grade noble concubine can call herself the Queen, but I have never used this title since I was conferred the title. I just don't want to give people the feeling of being overbearing. However, with Rui Rong entering the palace, I shouldered more than just my own safety. Since this war is unavoidable, I have to put aside those low-key and graceful things and face the smoke of war. Even if the price is not to be left behind, I can't shrink back.
Wang Yiyao glanced at Rong Xiu Yi. Rong Xiu Yi's calm and composed demeanor and the sneer on his lips gave Wang Yiyao great confidence, so she did not panic,""Guipin niangniang, ChenQie was rude just now.”
Wang Yiyao bowed and said,""It's just that the palace rules are strict. Without conferring a title to the little lord, you can't meet the emperor.”
As Wang Yiyao spoke, her eyes glanced towards the door of the inner room. The meaning behind her words was very obvious. Seeing that Rong Xiu Yi still did not speak, she knew that Wang Yiyao had been completely used as a spear by her today. She could not help but sneer in her heart.
" Ming Liangyuan is accusing me of violating the rules, so-" I moved away to let her pass." You can go in and search."”
Wang Yiyao didn't expect me to be so straightforward. She didn't delay and walked forward."However, I have to ask you something first. Whose edict did you receive to search Jinghe Palace? Who ordered them to come to Jinghe Palace to search for the Emperor? In the future, when we investigate, will you be the one to bear the blame or will Sister Rong be the scapegoat for you?”
These words were very serious, and Wang Yiyao's expression changed. She couldn't take another step forward. This was the effect she wanted.
" This…No…Of course not the emperor…"
Wang Yiyao was defeated and looked at Rong Xiu Yi for help.
Rong Xiu Yi knew that he had no choice but to open his mouth, so he smiled,""Younger Sister, you don't have to be so serious. Elder Sister just heard that you brought a Little Master over, and it seems like they are old acquaintances. She was afraid that you would break the rules by talking about love, so she came over to take a look. Since the Emperor is not here, then I will go to the Qianyuan Palace to ask for an audience.”
Rong Xiu Yi's words were very skilled, seemingly showing weakness to me, but in fact, she was implying that she knew my acquaintance with Rui Rong and that every move was under her control. Her words naturally contained a lot of threat.
Although I was surprised in my heart, I didn't show it on my face."What are you talking about, sister? How could this concubine not know her limits? It just so happened that Little Master Shi caused trouble and offended the Empress's cousin, so I brought her back to lecture her. I didn't realize that it was late. It was my sister's negligence.”
Rong Xiu Yi's expression darkened." Ying Chun is also not calm. She has been spoiled since she was young. Today's matter may not be in the right. You don't have to be too harsh on the other one. Call that Young Master Shi out. BenGong should comfort her on behalf of Biao Younger Sister."”
After saying that, she also looked in the direction of the inner room, clearly not giving up until she saw Rui Rong.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 56PM #
