Traveling through the harem: the favorite concubine

Chapter 141 Extra Story [-]

When Aman returned to the palace, it was still early. He went back to his room and changed his clothes. When he was walking to the door of the palace to greet Ruyi, he heard a reply from the servants: "The imperial concubine is receiving Mrs. Cao. People and Miss Cao."

Aman straightened his sleeves, showed a faint smile on his face, and said to the people below: "In that case, if Gu comes back later, don't go in and report."

The people below retreated in response, while Aman turned around and went to the Wenhua Palace, which he would never take the initiative to go to on weekdays.After Aman entered school, Zhao Qingze specially designated a palace next to the Zhaoyang Hall, where he and Aman used to attend classes and study on weekdays.

In the dormitory, Ruyi sent off Mrs. Cao and Miss Cao Chenxi with a smile, with a trace of tiredness on her face.

When Bi He saw her, she quickly stepped forward to support her, and gently rubbed her forehead for her.Bihe was the new replacement after Shaoyao and Fangcao were given to marry out of the palace. The families that Shaoyao and Fangcao married were not prominent. Shaoyao married a guard of Zhaoyang Palace, and Fangcao was a Married to a Jinshi, although the married family is not high, but Sheng's family is simple and well-matched, at least they have children now, and they are living a good life.

Bihe was brought out by the two of them, but when it comes to serving people, he is better than blue. Seeing Ruyi's appearance, he knows what Ruyi is thinking.

"If your majesty doesn't like seeing Mrs. Cao and Miss Cao, then it's better not to see you. Madam, don't wrong yourself."

Although Bihe's words were bold, they really hit Ruyi's heart.

But Ruyi smiled, and finally said: "Forget it, Mrs. Cao is so old, I can't bear to let her go for nothing."

If it is said that Ruyi and Mrs. Cao had a good relationship in the past, it might not be that there was a mutual use of each other, but now, she doesn't need to think too much at all, she can do it according to her mood, but thinking about Mrs. Cao, Ruyi can't bear it. .

"Madam Cao, why bother? At such an advanced age, my legs and feet are not good."

Bihe spoke softly, but Ruyi could probably understand Mrs. Cao.

Although Ruyi was very tired of Mrs. Cao entering the palace so frequently, and she brought Cao Chenxi with her.

It was a coincidence that Cao Chenxi was born on the occasion of the victory of the Northwest War. In order to show his favor for the Cao family, Zhao Qingze personally gave Cao Chenxi a name, and even had the intention of making Cao Chenxi the crown princess at that time.But at that time, Ruyi still blocked it, so he didn't issue the last imperial edict.

In fact, in terms of identity, Cao Chenxi is indeed suitable.The Cao family is deeply favored by the emperor, but because of their relationship, they will not pose too much threat to the imperial power.After Cao Rui won the Battle of Northwest that year, Zhao Qingze conferred a title on him. Although Cao Rui is now in charge of the imperial guards in Beijing, he has a high position but not much power.

Not only the identity is enough, but the trouble of relatives is absolutely eliminated.

The Cao family obviously thought of this, so they also wanted to actively send Cao Chenxi to the position of the princess, but unfortunately, Aman has always been indifferent to Cao Chenxi, and Ruyi has gradually expanded her social circle in recent years. However, the acquaintance with the Cao family has weakened instead. It is not that Ruyi is ungrateful. Although Ruyi has always treated the Cao family differently, she only has friendship with Mrs. Cao, and is not close to the Cao Jiang family. Among the people of Ruyi's generation, the wives of Anrui and Huang Zongbao had the best relationship with Ruyi. Moreover, Ruyi had a better relationship with the wives of other families than Cao Jiang's.

Mrs. Cao obviously noticed this, she seemed impatient, and handed out signs every now and then, and brought Cao Chenxi into the palace.With too many times, Ruyi couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

"It's not easy for Mrs. Cao, she has to consider the younger generation even when she's old."

Ruyi sighed lightly and said this.

At this time, Zhao Qingze came back, and when he heard Ruyi's words, he smiled and said, "If you don't like it, then you don't need to meet her. The nanny is indeed in a hurry."

Zhao Qingze had also heard about this before. Although he was not happy with the Cao family's actions, he still had a bond with the Cao family. Moreover, Cao Rui was still calm and there was no problem, so he didn't intervene.

"nothing."

These things are actually not a big deal, and Ruyi didn't want to make it difficult for Zhao Qingze, so she said something with a smile.

"The little girl from the Cao family is actually very prudent and polite. It's just that Aman doesn't seem to like playing with her very much."

Ruyi glanced at Zhao Qingze, and smiled again, "At the beginning, you said you wanted to appoint this princess, but luckily I stopped it!"

When Zhao Qingze heard this, he just smiled and didn't say much.In fact, if Ruyi didn't stop him, he really wanted to make Cao Chenxi the crown princess. Even now, he still thinks that Cao Chenxi is the right crown princess.

However, Ruyi paid more attention to the child's wishes. Since Ruyi disagreed, Zhao Qingze didn't say anything about it.

"I see that the little girl from the Cao family looks a bit like you when you were young."

Zhao Qingze looked at Ruyi and laughed, and Ruyi couldn't help laughing when she heard the words, but shook her head and said, "It doesn't look like it!"

Her honesty and etiquette at that time was entirely due to her timidity, which was not in her nature after all, but this little girl from the Cao family seemed to be like that in her nature. Ruyi remembered that when this little girl was young, she was brought into the palace to play. Son, he behaved like an adult.

It's no wonder that Aman doesn't like to play with her anymore. After all, Aman is so young and has a lively personality. Naturally, he prefers playmates who love to cry and laugh, just like Huang Zijun, who was brought into the palace at noon today. Belle.

"I can't play with Cao Chenxi!"

During dinner, Ah Man said such a sentence while serving food for his mother.

This sentence really provoked Zhao Qingze to say: "You only want to play, and in a few years, you will be working in the court, and now you are still skipping class like a child!"

"Father, don't worry, I don't do my homework at all." Aman said with a smile after saying this, "Huang Zongbao is suing you again!"

"How do you talk, Mr. Huang is your teacher, why don't you know how to respect the teacher at all, and you still call the teacher by his name." Ruyi couldn't help but say a man.

But Aman still said with a smile: "It's okay for us to be called Huang Zongbao like that on weekdays, or you can ask God bless you."

Aman turned to look at his younger brother, but saw that his younger brother was yawning while eating.

And Ruyi also saw Tianyou like this, couldn't help but pat him, "Hurry up and eat, and sleep after eating!"

Ruyi doesn't even know how to describe her two sons, one is active and the other is lazy.Fortunately, these two children are quite smart, but even this is what broke her heart.

"Oh, what did parents and brother say?"

Tianyou put a mouthful of rice into his mouth and asked with a confused expression.

"My parents said they would marry Cao Chenxi into our house, but I don't want to. God bless, do you want to?"

Aman teased his younger brother immorally, but Tianyou raised his head and said, "Cao Chenxi? That little girl who doesn't talk much, I think it's pretty good."

As soon as Tianyou said this, both Ruyi and Aman looked at him strangely.But I heard Tianyou say another sentence: "I don't think she will disturb me like my mother in the future."

"cough……"

After hearing Tianyou's words, Zhao Qingze and Aman immediately coughed in embarrassment and bowed their heads to eat.

"Do you think your mother and I are arguing?"

Ruyi stared at Tianyou and asked.

Tianyou later realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly looked at his father and elder brother for help.

Although they wanted to pretend they didn't see it, both Zhao Qingze and Aman knew that if they didn't make a sound, this guy God Bless, they might say something in an inconspicuous manner later. They got into trouble, maybe it was the two of them who were unlucky.

"Mother, Huang Zongbao has homework for Tianyou and me. I will go back to discuss with Tianyou first. You and Dad will take your time."

Tianyou, who was still holding the bowl and chopsticks, hurriedly left the bedroom without saying a word, while Zhao Qingze put the food with a chopstick into Ruyi's bowl, and said: "Come on, lady, eat more point!"

Ruyi took a look at the chopstick dish, and couldn't help but ask, "Is it true that I've been talking a lot lately, and I'm very noisy like nagging!"

"How could it be, not at all!"

Zhao Qingze repeatedly denied it.

Ruyi is a little worried, she also feels that she is quite nagging, she must have entered menopause early, but she is only in her thirties!

Seeing Ruyi's appearance, Zhao Qingze quickly said in a gentle voice, "I just like you nagging and arguing with me. If you don't nag and quarrel with me one day, I will definitely be uncomfortable all day long."

"nonsense!"

Although Ruyi said so, the smile on her face couldn't be concealed.

The next day, when Aman saw Chen Ru, he stared at her for a long time in surprise.

Huang Zijun only thought that Aman saw a strange woman in the car, but he explained a little embarrassedly: "This is my cousin who just came to Beijing. My aunt said that my cousin has never seen the capital, and she wants me to take her with her." Let's play."

Aman withdrew his gaze, but he didn't care about it, but he didn't look at Chen Ru again, and picked up Bei'er who was drowsy with the doll on the other side of the car.

When Aman turned his gaze away, Chen Ru couldn't help holding his chest and let out a soft breath.

When she came here, she was specially instructed by her mother for a long time, and she got into the car and took off her veil according to her mother's instructions. She also knew the noble status of the young man in front of her. happiness.

But at this moment, when she saw that the other party would rather hug and play with the still sleepy young cousin than look away from her, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed in her heart.

Today, Aman planned to take Beier to fly a kite, so he ordered the craftsmen in the palace to make several very exquisite kites. As soon as the carriage arrived in the suburbs of Beijing, Beier had already been attracted by the beautiful scenery and fell asleep. A kite started to play, Aman smiled and protected Bei'er, but the two walked away after a while.

Chen Ru covered her face with a veil, but she was disappointed and a little bit at a loss when she saw this, but Huang Zijun saw her like this, smiled and handed her a kite, and said: "If my cousin wants to play, I will play for you." Let it go!"

"Thank you cousin, I... I don't know how to play this very much, I'd better prepare refreshments here, Cousin Bei'er will definitely come to eat when she is thirsty and tired later." Regarding kite flying, her current After all, the age is a bit inappropriate, and the rules taught by her mother also prevent her from running unrestrainedly like Belle, regardless of her manners.But when she said what she said before, she also vaguely felt that it was inappropriate, so she quickly added with a smile: "Cousin don't have to worry about me, you can come out to play, looking at this beautiful scenery, I feel very happy already."

"Okay, if the cousin is bored sitting and wants to go for a walk, let the people below accompany her."

Huang Zijun was just showing respect to this cousin, seeing that he just told his subordinates to take good care of him, so he caught up with Bei'er and started playing together.

Chen Ru glanced enviously at the three playful figures in the distance, but smiled faintly, picked up the tea set put by the servants and slowly brewed tea.
