The Life of the Concubine of the System

Chapter 45

When Yin Ruxue heard Cherry telling her the recent "false pregnancy" rumors about her in the palace with a dark face, Yin Ruxue was eating red dates and bird's nest porridge newly served in the small kitchen.

The red dates are sweet and the bird's nest is smooth. Yin Ruxue eats it very happily.

Upon hearing the news from Cherry, Yin Ruxue almost spat out the red dates in her mouth.

Bloody clothes?She was a little puzzled, and asked the crescent moon beside her strangely.

"Yueya, you are in charge of clothes. Do you remember any bloody clothes in Zhaoyue Palace recently?"

Yueya was also silent, and after thinking for a long time, she replied hesitantly, "Madam, could it be that embroidered handkerchief?"

Only then did Yin Ruxue remember this incident. She was bored that time, and curiously learned embroidery from Crescent Moon and Cherry beside her.But helplessly, no talent is no talent, the handkerchief was not embroidered well, and my fingers were scarred, and as a result, the silk handkerchief to be embroidered was "stained red".

In fact, it is a bit exaggerated to say that it is dyed red, but there are really some blood spots on the embroidered handkerchief.Originally it was fine, who knew that it was such a coincidence that Emperor Yongye happened to come to Zhaoyue Palace.Not only that, but just in time to see the scarred fingers, his face became even more gloomy.Immediately, the imperial physician was called to bandage her fingers.

Yin Ruxue didn't dare to say anything at the time, seeing Emperor Yongye's gloomy expression, she could only laugh.And vowed never to pick up an embroidery needle again.

Only then did Emperor Yongye regain his composure, but he still ordered the palace servants to burn the embroidered handkerchief with bloodstains on it.

"What kind of clothing is that little embroidered handkerchief?" Cherry said with hesitation and anger.

Yueya explained: "There is a lot of right and wrong in the palace, and black can be said to be white. Let alone a handkerchief, even a small rag can be said to be evidence of some kind of mess."

Cherry snorted, looking at his mother who was still eating red dates and bird's nest porridge with great relish, she suddenly felt a little depressed.

Yin Ruxue looked at the unpredictable expression of Cherry standing by the table, from angry to listless, and suddenly found it funny.Then she put down the exquisite little jade bowl in her hand, and asked with interest: "Cherry, what's wrong with you."

Cherry put away the small jade bowl on the table, while answering the empress's question: "Your Majesty, this servant is thinking, why are you not in a hurry at all, Empress? Empress, this time people are referring to you by name. Yes. But why didn't you respond at all, my lady?"

Yin Ruxue looked at Cherry's faintly angry face again and smiled.

"Cherry, why should you be angry about something that is not true at all? No matter what others say, since this matter is not true, we ignore it, and this matter will gradually calm down."

Cherry's mouth was still pouted, and she said reluctantly: "Your Majesty, only we know that this is not true. But others don't know. If this continues, I'm afraid Your Majesty's reputation will be lost."

Yueya has always been thoughtful and thoughtful, so she also came out to speak at this time: "Your Majesty, this servant also thinks that Cherry is right this time."

Cherry saw that Yueya was also standing by her side, her tone suddenly became serious, and her words were full of complacency.

"Your Majesty, look, this time Yueya also agrees with the servant girl. Madam, you really need to think of a way."

Yueya continued to speak: "Mother, what Cherry said is not unreasonable. In this palace, there are too many words, and there are too many people talking about it. It may not be long before the false ones become true. Madam, Do you really need to do something to stop this?"

Yin Ruxue looked at her two grand daughters, they were straightforward, quick-witted but simple-minded, and didn't understand too many twists and turns.Crescent Moon, on the other hand, is cautious and considerate in doing things but is timid and afraid to act straightforwardly.But Cherry and Crescent get along very well. The strengths and weaknesses of the two can complement each other. Cherry will not be impulsive in doing things, and Crescent will not be too cautious in doing things.

Cherry looked at her mother who only looked at herself and Yueya, but didn't speak.I don't know what the empress is thinking, but she doesn't speak anymore.Crescent Moon also had the same idea, and didn't say anything for a while.

Yin Ruxue came to her senses, and saw that her two maids in the palace didn't say anything for a while, but silently stood aside.

For a while, there was a "puchi" laugh.

"What's the matter? Suddenly you don't say anything?"

Cherry originally thought that her mother had been trying to figure out a way to deal with this matter, so she didn't dare to disturb her thoughts.Hearing the empress finally opened her mouth, she couldn't help but speak now: "Empress, have you thought of a good way?"

"No." Yin Ruxue spoke leisurely.

"Miss, how can you be so leisurely?" Cherry was really anxious this time, and even called out the previous address "Miss" in a moment of impatience.

Although Crescent Moon didn't speak, the expression on her face was also one of approving Cherry.

"System prompt, system prompt, the host triggers a side mission: settle the fake pregnancy storm."

"Does the host accept side missions?"

Of course I accept, side missions can be exchanged for rewards, right?It had been a long time since she had received a reward from the system.

Looking at the two pairs of shining eyes looking at her, Yin Ruxue smiled and pointed:
"Who do you say is the owner of this harem?"

"It's the empress." The two voices overlapped.

"Then who do you think the Empress will listen to?" Yin Ruxue's voice was sweet and persuasive.

"Of course it's the emperor." Cherry and Yueya said the same answer at the same time.

Crescent Moon suddenly realized something, as if she understood something.

Cherry was even more puzzled when she saw Yueya's suddenly enlightened expression and the satisfied lady sitting at the table.

"Your Majesty, what kind of riddles are you and Yueya playing? No matter what, the slaves can't understand."

Yin Ruxue shook her head, the girl Cherry is loyal, but she is too straight, and she has to explain these crooked words clearly in order to understand.

"The whole world belongs to the emperor, so the troubles in the harem can't be hidden from the emperor."

Yueya answered: "Your Majesty has been slandered by others. Your Majesty knows about it, so your Majesty will not believe it. As long as your Majesty doesn't believe it, no matter what other people say, our Majesty's status will not be shaken in the slightest. Others say If you are too cruel, the emperor will naturally start to suspect that there is no need for us to do anything at that time, people with ulterior motives will shoot themselves in the foot."

Yin Ruxue also nodded: "It doesn't matter what other people think, what matters is what the emperor thinks."

At this moment, Cherry had an expression of "so that's it".But when I saw Ruxue and Yueya looking at me with a smile on their faces, their cheeks flushed, and they murmured, "I'm not stupid. I just don't understand why everyone keeps making things so complicated." That's all. Wouldn't it be nice to keep everything simple?"

Yin Ruxue nodded, and said sympathetically, "That's right, isn't it good to keep everything simple? Why is it so complicated?"

Cherry saw that her mother was a little depressed, she didn't know what she said wrong, but she also wanted to make her mother happy.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the small kitchen has recently developed a delicious soufflé. It is fragrant, crispy, and sweet. You must like it, so I will ask them to make it. It's done. Let you taste it."

Yin Ruxue is a standard foodie, as soon as she heard that there was something to eat, she completely wiped out the sudden sadness in her heart.

"Okay, I'm just a little hungry. Ask the small kitchen to make two more."

Cherry and Crescent Moon heard the order from the empress, and their hearts could no longer feel heavy.

What do you mean just hungry?Concubine Yuegui, you haven't stopped since the beginning, look at the dishes on the table, it's all ironclad evidence.

Of course, this was just a joke. The two maids knew that their master liked to eat, but since they became pregnant, this master's appetite has grown even bigger.Cherry and Crescent Moon didn't dare to neglect their master, so Yin Ruxue told the small kitchen what they wanted to eat, and the two maids would often go to the small kitchen to make some fresh snacks to satisfy their master's hunger.

"Empress, the story of Concubine Yuegui has been rumored in the palace. Tell me, is it true?" Cen Xiuyi sat under the empress. , There are three points of temptation in the words.

The empress was drinking tea, when she heard what Cen Xiuyi said, she put down the teacup with a half-smile and opened her mouth.

"If it's true, it's true, if it's false, it's false. What's the matter with me?"

Cen Xiuyi couldn't understand the Queen's attitude.

"But empress, this concubine Yue is so favored, if her pregnancy is real and she is pregnant with a boy, what about you, empress?" Although Cen Xiuyi didn't finish her words, everyone knew the meaning behind her words. well aware.

A sternness flashed in the Queen's eyes:
"In this palace, I am not the only one who is anxious."

It was only then that Cen Xiuyi realized that it seemed that the empress was going to kill someone with a knife.That's right, Concubine Yuegui is so favored, and the anxious concubines in the harem caught a lot of them.

Thinking about it this way, Cen Xiuyi was not in a hurry anymore, but also settled down to drink tea with the empress.

An Xiuyuan is pregnant with a child, and Emperor Yongye has time to visit An Xiuyuan this day.Unexpectedly, at the gate of the palace, I heard a few maids gossip.

Emperor Yongye wanted to interrupt, but a few words came faintly from the wind.Emperor Yong Ye took a look at Xin Quan and stopped Xin Quan from going to reprimand them.

"Then the concubine Yuegui is actually a fake pregnancy?" There was surprise in the lowered voice.

"Then what's the matter, the empress in this palace can use any means."

The rest of the words slowly dissipated in the wind as the maids left, and they could no longer be heard clearly.

Emperor Yongye walked as usual and entered An Xiuyuan's palace, but only gave Xin Quan a wink, Xin Quan naturally understood.
