Spring apricots around the palace wall

Chapter 21
"You think I haven't given such an order seriously? They will still come."

This is indeed the case. The concubines are willing to get up early to say goodbye, but she also wants to sleep a little longer. She is too lazy to deal with so many people every day. on.

Everyone knew that she was a snooze, so they negotiated together to push back the time to greet her, and she only came later every day, and she still followed the rules.

The queen frowned at Ruan Wei, and said in a royal tone, "You'd better not do anything special, this palace doesn't like to be fearless."

Ruan Wei complimented carefully, "I don't dare to be a concubine."

The queen gave her a deep wink, and she turned around and left without telling the emperor to retire.

The emperor looked at her arrogant back, followed her with his eyes until he couldn't see anyone, and raised the corner of his mouth, "She said that you have nothing to fear, but she is the most fearless one."

Ruan Wei looked up at him.

This dog emperor, who was awkward with the queen himself, pushed her out for sacrifice. He would be a little happy when he saw that the queen was angry with her.
-
The next day, Ruan Wei arrived at Fengyi Palace a little late. The other concubines and concubines had already been there, but Concubine Shu stayed here and talked non-stop around the queen.

Seeing Ruan Wei, Concubine Shu greeted excitedly, "You are here."

Ruan Wei saluted the queen, and Concubine Shu said chatteringly, "You came here on the first day of your return to the palace so late. Did the emperor have too much energy last night, and you didn't sleep for half the night?"

Concubine Shu always spoke like this regardless of the scale. Ruan Wei was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to answer. The queen pointed her to her seat and greeted her to sit down and talk.

Concubine Shu moved her buttocks and shouted: "The emperor really favored you the most. As soon as you came back, the emperor left the queen sister behind. You must know that before you came back, he rested in Fengyi Palace every day."

The queen corrected her: "You're exaggerating a bit. It's clear that you haven't come over for several days, not the day before yesterday."

Concubine Shu opened her eyes wide and said incredulously, "The emperor was also in Fengyi Palace the day before yesterday. Mammy Li was talking to me that morning. The emperor came late at night and left very early, so he probably didn't wake up. Queen Sister, but Li Mama knows."

The queen remembered that she went to Taiji Palace yesterday, and Tong Xuanwei said of course: The emperor didn't come to Fengyi Palace last night, so I came to see something wrong...

No wonder Xuan Wei's face was ugly at the time, but whenever she asked a palace maid for snacks, she knew that he had come.But she didn't care about it at all, so he made up a lie at a glance, but he didn't tell the truth.

Ruan Wei naturally thought of this, and looked a little uncomfortable.

Concubine Shu couldn't understand the ugly look on her face, so she said bluffingly, "Concubine Ruan, you are so favored, it's a matter of time before you get pregnant with a prince, and Concubine Feng is just around the corner."

The queen said: "Miao Rong, I have something to tell Concubine Ruan, you can play elsewhere."

Concubine Shu looked unhappy at Concubine Ruan and then at the Empress. Both of them looked at her, waiting for her to leave.

She stood up and said, "Then I'll come back to the Queen's sister another day."

As soon as Concubine Shu went out, Mammy Li followed, standing at the door, pushing away a few palace servants at the door.

The queen looked at Ruan Wei and said, "Is the emperor embarrassing you?"

Ruan Wei shook her head gently, "There is nothing wrong with the mother after she left, as always. He doesn't seem to plan to do anything to me, he just wants to make the mother hate me."

"That mad dog."

The queen couldn't help but curse.Just because of a letter and a signature, he can eat the jealousy of Concubine Ai, he is so crazy, "It's not a big problem, he just thinks we are getting close, there is no need in the future, I will not go to your Zhaochun. palace."

She also saw it yesterday that Xuan Wei was too deliberately approaching Ruan Wei in front of her, and personally went off to instigate the imperial concubine to fight in the palace, lest the inner court would not be in chaos.

The queen had a headache when she thought of him, and said to Ruan Wei, "It's good to know what you have in mind, and be careful about everything. Weiwei, did my parents ask you to tell me something?"

Ruan Wei took out an envelope from her bosom and handed it to her, "Master Yu asked me to persuade Empress, put down past entanglements, and must obey the emperor."

Although Mammy Li was guarding the door, she didn't know when someone would break in. The queen hid the letter in her arms, as if she was carrying a rare treasure.

"Are they okay? Are they much older?" It was extremely difficult for the queen to ask this sentence.She couldn't help but want to know their current situation, but she was afraid that she could not be filial when she found out that any of them were bad.

Ruan Wei said: "Niangniang, I don't know what they looked like in the past. Now they are not old, and Yu Xiaogong is also smart and cute. The only thing they can't let go of is you, Niangniang, but the news of Niangniang is known to the world, they know If your madam is well, you will be fine."

The queen opened her mouth to say something, but was speechless.

Ruan Wei got up and blessed Fu Li, "Niangniang, it is inconvenient for me to stay for a long time."

The queen nodded and said weakly: "The imperial doctor said that it is difficult for me to conceive. I have tried to take medicine to recuperate, but the effect is minimal. But the emperor said that if you give me Ye Guiren's child, I will also raise it."

She paused for a while, and then said, "If you were born another day, you can also think of the crown prince."

"A child born to a foreign woman will not be established by the emperor as the heir." Ruan Wei knew this, so she didn't put any hope on it.

The emperor would be afraid of the original queen, and the concubine later, but he would not be afraid of her foreign princess from a small country, so he would allow her to conceive and have children, but he would not allow the crown prince to have half foreign blood. .

For the emperor, the blood of the prince born by the queen is noble, and there is no worry about the relatives.

The queen smiled and said, "He won't stand up when he lives, and he can't make the decision when he dies."

Ruan Wei was stunned for a moment, a little unbelievable, and looked up at the bottom of her eyes.

The queen took a sip of tea and said in a hurry, "It will be a long time to come."
-
Ruan Wei walked out of the hall, and Li Ma called her: "Concubine Ruan."

"Mammy."

Although Ruan Wei is the master and Li Mama is the servant, Ruan Wei has always respected Li Mama, and she always stops when she speaks, with a very humble attitude.

Mammy Li showed her gratitude, "Thanks to you, Niangniang stopped drinking Bizi soup, but Niangniang's blessing is poor, and it is difficult to have children."

Ruan Wei lowered her eyes and said: "My original intention was to ease the relationship between the empress and the emperor. As for the children, the empress doesn't care, and we don't have to be sad about it."

"My servant understands that you are going to Huainan for the sake of the Empress," Li Mammy sighed briefly. "Otherwise, if the Empress knelt down at the Taiji Hall at that time, I don't know what the consequences would be."

Ruan Wei said with a smile: "That won't have too serious consequences. The emperor does not agree with the empress to go. This is to take into account the safety of the empress, and will not let the empress do anything."

If Ruan Wei hadn't gone for her, the final result might be that the emperor couldn't resist the queen's insistence and let her go, and the number of famous doctors and soldiers sent to Huainan was estimated to be several times more.Ruan Wei knew in her heart that the difference between going by herself and the queen was that no amount of protection could guarantee the safety of the queen.

Mammy Li said worriedly, "The maiden is too stubborn. After a long time, I'm afraid that one day, the temperament of the emperor will be worn out."

Ruan Wei nodded, "Niang Niang really doesn't like vainness and condescension. It's not good for us to force too much, but it will make her unhappy. For the time being, there is no need to worry about the empress on the emperor's side. The empress he likes is this kind of empress."
