Chapter 1259 (Updated on June 27) Suddenly
In the early morning of the next day, the light of the morning sun shone through the window and into Ruoyin's bed curtain.
She stretched lazily, then opened her eyes in a daze.
A mark was sunken on the silk pillow beside her, but it hadn't bounced back yet.
It seemed that fourth master had just left not long ago.
Ruoyin raised his hand and smoothed the silk pillow casually.
Then he sat up and called Liumama and Banmei to come in to serve her.
After washing up, everyone in the harem came to the Yongshou Palace for morning rest.
Ruoyin wanted to sleep back into the cage, so Chen Xing only lasted for a stick of incense, and she sent the harem concubines away.
However, just when she was about to go back to the inner room to continue meeting with Zhou, Li Fukang entered the room and said, "My lady, please see me, Mrs. Xin."
"Didn't Ben Gong let them go back? What else does she want to see?" Ruoyin raised her eyebrows and asked.
Li Fukang shook his head, "I don't even know about this slave, but Empress Xin only said that she has something important to discuss with you."
Ruoyin was feeling sleepy, so she waved her hand and said, "Just say that I have something to do for the time being, and let her come back in the afternoon, or at another day."
She is the queen, so she still has some autonomy.
It's not like a concubine wants to see her, she doesn't even have to sleep, she has to go out to meet her.
"Hey." Li Fukang called a thousand and went out.
Ruoyin half-closed his eyes and yawned. He didn't even want to eat breakfast, so he continued to lie down.
When she woke up again, it was already lunch time.
"Your Majesty, that concubine Xin is still waiting in the hall." Nanny Liu reported the matter while dressing her.
Ruoyin frowned slightly, "Didn't Li Fukang let her go?"
"I've said it, the slaves heard Li Fukang tell her to come back tomorrow, but the concubine Xin said that she is not in a hurry and is willing to wait."
After hearing this, Ruoyin's eyes turned slightly.
Just at this time, her stomach croaked with hunger.
Ruoyin hasn't eaten all morning, so there's nothing else to worry about.
She lightly ordered: "Let the kitchen prepare lunch, ask Chef Niu to make more, and prepare the concubine Xin's as well."
It's about this time, anyway, she wants to eat.
As for that concubine Xin, after waiting for so long, she still wants to see her.
This Yongshou Palace is not short of such a pair of bowls and chopsticks.
As for whether Xin Concubine eats or not, that is Xin Concubine's business.
"yes."
Then, after Ruoyin finished dressing up, she went to the hall.
After walking to the door, Concubine Xin hurriedly saluted her when she saw her: "Empress Empress."
Ruoyin nodded towards Concubine Xin slightly, and then sat down on her head.
He said indifferently: "It's been cold recently, and I'm not feeling well. I went back to my room to rest after morning sleep. When I woke up this morning and heard the servants talk about it, I realized that you have been waiting in the hall. You have a heart, and you have been waiting until Now."
She deliberately said the word "heart" with a little emphasis.
Although she knew about it a long time ago, she still tactfully pretended not to know, and blamed the slaves.
After hearing this, Concubine Xin got up and knelt down: "Queen, I don't know that the Empress is unwell. If I knew, I would definitely not dare to bother the Empress."
Ruoyin waved his hand, "Those who don't know are innocent, get up."
As soon as the words were finished, Nanny Liu conspicuously helped Concubine Xin to the next seat.
Ruoyin looked at Concubine Xin and asked, "You've been waiting all morning, so tell me, what's the matter?"
Concubine Xin is a prudent person. After thinking for a while, she opened her mouth and said: "The concubine just entered the palace not long ago, and she didn't understand many rules. In addition, the concubine lived alone in Xianfu Palace, so the concubine wanted to come to Yongshou Palace to ask the empress for advice. Empress, by the way, take care of your daily life."
Hearing this, Ruoyin immediately understood.
It seems that this concubine Xin wants to take refuge in her Yongshou Palace.
"I can't talk about asking for advice. You have only entered the palace not long ago, so don't worry. After a long time, you will naturally understand all the rules." Ruoyin politely refused, "Besides, you are the master of the first palace anyway, how can you Let you serve in Yongshou Palace, those are slaves."
"The empress is the lord of the middle palace, and my concubine is willing to serve you all the time. The concubine is not afraid of hardship or tiredness, but is afraid that the empress will dislike the concubine." Concubine Xin said very sincerely.
When she first entered the palace, she heard that the empress was the most favored in the harem.
At first, she didn't believe it.
I want to say that I have been in the capital for so long, I have only heard that concubines are favored over the main family, and men dote on concubines and kill their wives.
I haven't heard that the main room is more favored than the concubine and concubines, and the men dote on their wives and destroy their concubines.
But after her observation during this period of time, it seems that there is indeed such a thing.
All of this can be seen from the fact that the queen has the most children and that the emperor's rewards are continuously sent to Yongshou Palace.
Especially last night, the emperor, who was always as cold as ice, actually clearly knew and remembered several meals that the queen empress liked to eat.
In front of them, he rewarded the queen with meals alone.
And the way he looked at the empress was something they had never had before.
When she saw the emperor looking at the empress with her own eyes, the coldness in her eyes was no longer there.
Instead, there was a gentle look in his eyes.
Those black pupils that have been like a pool of ice all year round, like sunlight shining in, melting all the ice and snow.
That's why she wanted to seek refuge with the Empress Empress.
In this way, as long as you hug the big tree of the queen tightly, you can get a share of the pie.
It is also good to gain a foothold in the harem, a place where fish and dragons are mixed.
Hearing what Concubine Xin said, Ruoyin took a sip of tea, and said bluntly, "Concubine Xin, you just entered the palace, so you may not know much about the situation in the harem. Since I set up my residence, I have been walking alone. Do not form cliques with concubines in the harem."
Concubine Xin: "..."
"If you have any difficulties, tell me, and I will help you as appropriate. After all, this is within the scope of my obligations as a queen. But if it is because of other reasons, I really can't help you." She didn't care about anything else. How does the main room promote the newcomer so as to stabilize the status.
But it is absolutely impossible for her to rely on this method.
Not to mention that these people are out of control after their wings are hardened.
The key is that they are one by one, seemingly innocent, gentle and harmless on the surface.
In case her disguise is used behind the scenes to do some nasty things in the harem, she, the queen, even if she doesn't want to, has to help out.
Besides, with fourth master's temperament, it doesn't work just because she blows the pillow.
"You're smart, you have a good family background, and you can make good tea. I believe you can have your own little world in the harem." Ruoyin praised officially.
