The concubine is often fierce, the prince is too difficult to deal with

Chapter 53
Seeing that her master made a move, Nan Zhen, who was guarding the door, also hurried forward.

A black cloak was neatly draped over Rongjing's thin shoulders.

Nan Zhen nodded respectfully, and carefully arranged for Rong Jing.

From the placket to the cuffs to the ruching of the cape, everything is meticulously detailed.

Rong Jing stared at Nan Zhen, then said lightly, "Get ready for me tomorrow."

"Huh?" Nan Zhen raised her head and looked at her master with some puzzlement.

"I'm going to the Taihe Palace tomorrow."

Rong Jing looked down at the clothes on his body, stroked the skirt with the back of his hand, turned around and walked out the door.

On the contrary, Nan Zhen froze in place after hearing this.

After a while, a joyful smile suddenly appeared on her sluggish face.

Master finally remembered the young master, he is going to visit the young master in Taihe Palace in person!

Thinking of this, Nan Zhen's eyes lit up.

She quickly followed out, forgetting about Qin Muge today.

As night fell, the Taihe Palace gradually darkened.

The Taihe Palace under the high wall looked a bit desolate and cold.

This empty place did not become lively because of Ru Ji's appearance.

On the contrary, it was the grievances on her brows that made this already cold place even colder...

"Ugh……"

Ruji fiddled with the queen mother's favorite peony, and sighed inaudibly.

The Empress Dowager, who was still listening to the Buddhist scriptures, moved her fingertips, and opened a pair of slightly cloudy eyes.

She glanced at Ruji, "What's wrong with Ji'er?"

Ru Ji forcefully forced a smile, then shook her head docilely, "Ji'er is just a little tired."

The queen mother raised her eyes, and she saw the lingering gloom between her brows.

It has been several days since she returned to Luoyang.

The shortness of breath is indeed much better than it was three years ago.

It's just that the complexion still hasn't improved?

The Empress Dowager thought it was boring to ask her to accompany her to listen to the Buddhist scriptures, so she ordered, "Mother Qu, since Ji'er is tired, please help her to go back to rest quickly. This shortness of breath is the most unbearable fatigue. "

Hearing what the queen mother said, Ru Ji became anxious.

She quickly shook her head, "Grandma Huang, Ji Er's illness is already cured. If you don't believe me, take a look, I can run, sing, and dance for Grandma Huang!"

Saying this, she didn't wait for the queen mother to speak, she tapped her toes, wrapped her arms around her, and began to dance gracefully.

Qu's mother on the side was terrified, and when she was about to step forward to dissuade her, she saw that Ruji's body lost strength, and she didn't seem to be able to raise her breath, and began to cough hastily again.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Mother Qu was about to burst into tears...

Mother Qu rushed to Ru Ji's side quickly, hugged her in her arms, and gently stroked her back.

Just as he was about to take out the pills from his bosom, he found that his wrist was being held down forcefully by his own mistress.

Looking down, she saw Ru Ji's big misty eyes filled with pleading.

Sighing lightly, Mother Qu let go of her hand, and was just busy helping her.

At this time, the queen mother also hurriedly walked to Ruji's side, "Ji'er, are you alright?"

Ru Ji endured the discomfort, and stood upright with the support of Qu's mother.

Although she had a gentle smile on her face, her palms were already trembling slightly, "Grandma Huang, Ji'er is a little tired today. After I rest for two days, I can dance for you again!"

Seeing her strangely red face and the sweat dripping from her forehead, the Queen Mother couldn't bear to expose her.

She smiled kindly, "Alright, alright, you go back to rest first. When you are rested, I will call your brother Jing and watch you dance together."

After bidding farewell to the queen mother, Ruji started to cough hastily just after returning to her dormitory.

The flushed face and the back that was almost drenched with sweat made Qu's mother's eyes sore and she shed tears.

While feeding her master medicine, she wiped her tears, "Little master, why are you bothering?"

Although Ruji's face was flushed at this moment, her lips were pale.

If it weren't for someone who knew about her past illnesses, they might have thought that she would be captured by Hades at any moment.

It took a while after taking the medicine for Ruji to come back to her senses.

"It's all, it's all my unsatisfactory body!" Ruji's eyes were slightly red, "Speaking of which, I really envy Qin Muge. Although she is not beautiful enough, she still has a healthy body. In this way, I will be able to accompany Brother Jing for the rest of my life."

"My lord, if it wasn't for the prince, you wouldn't have gotten to this point. I believe the prince..."

"Mother Qu!" Mother Qu was interrupted by Ru Ji's sharp voice before she could finish her sentence.

She frowned, "No one is allowed to mention this matter again in the future. I don't want to use this matter to bind him. I like him, it's my own business."

After saying this, Ru Ji slowly turned her head away.

Yes, she likes Brother Jing.

However, she knew that with her body, she couldn't be brother Jing's concubine at all.

She would not use her broken body to imprison him.

What she wants is his heart!

Just when Mother Qu was about to say something to comfort her, she saw a figure passing by the door.

Her eyes lit up, and she walked out quickly.

Not long after, Ruji saw Qu's mother rushing back with joy on her face.

"My lord, good news, good news!"

Ruji was taken aback, doubts appeared on her bloodless little face, "What's wrong?"

Mother Qu's face was filled with a warm smile, "Just now Nanzhen sent someone to spread the word that the prince is coming to the Taihe Palace to see you."

"Is what you said true?"

As soon as she heard Rongjing's name, Ruji's beautiful little face suddenly became alive.

She widened her eyes in disbelief, and struggled to get up from the bed.

"Of course it's true. Nan Zhen also said just now that the prince was in a hurry to deal with Prince Min's affairs these days, so he was delayed. As soon as the matter was settled today, she ordered her to prepare a carriage and come over tomorrow. Look at you!"

Qu's mother was beaming when she said it, and Ruji's face was even more blushing when she heard it.

She quickly sat up from the bed, reached out and stroked her cheek, "Am I not looking well? Should I prepare to put on some rouge?"

"By the way, Mother Qu, quickly find out my brocade skirt and iron it! Also, and..."

Before Ru Ji finished speaking, Mother Qu smiled and pressed her shoulder, "My lord, the prince will come over tomorrow. Are you so impatient?"

Ruji was overjoyed by the news that Rongjing was coming and forgot the unhappiness just now.

Now that Qu's mother said this, her pretty face showed shyness, "I hate it, Qu's mother, you laugh at me!"

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh at the young master anymore."

Seeing that Ruji was already happy, Qu's mother had a loose smile on her face, "I'm going to prepare things for tomorrow for the young master, what you have to do now is to sleep well, so that you will have energy tomorrow See you, my lord!"

After saying this, she pushed Ru Ji down on the soft couch again, "I believe that the prince will be very happy to see a young master who is alive and kicking."

After Mother Qu left, Ru Ji slowly opened her eyes, which were originally closed.

Xiumei frowned slightly, and she reached out and took out a delicate vial from under the pillow.

That small porcelain bottle was the medicine that Mother Qu kept with her every day, and if she fell ill, she would bring it right away.

One capsule at a time, do not overeat for the sake of efficacy.

If you eat too much, the effect will be good for a while, but the body will suffer more and more in the future.

Although she kept in mind the instructions of the "poison doctor ghost fairy", Ruji couldn't help but poured three pills from the small porcelain bottle...

On the other side of the Taihe Palace, the Queen Mother couldn't help but let out a long sigh when she saw the sound of Qu's mother helping Ru Ji to leave.

"Sister, why are you sighing?"

A gentle and familiar voice came from behind, bringing the queen mother back to her senses.

She turned around in astonishment, and as expected, she saw a familiar face.

Even after more than ten years of separation, both of them have aged a lot, but she can still recognize each other at a glance.

Eye sockets were inexplicably reddened, and the queen mother walked quickly to the person who came, "Yuxiu, is it really you?"

The visitor's name was Zhong Yuxiu, who was a talented woman on par with the Empress Dowager in Nanling back then.

She also bears the honor of "Mrs. Zhenguo" on her back, and is ranked as a first-rank lady.

Carrying the jade waist badge presented by the Queen Mother back then, she entered the Taihe Palace without any hindrance.

In an accident more than ten years ago, she quietly disappeared.

Didn't show up until today...

When the two former sisters met, they couldn't help crying.

Although we are all old, but we meet again after more than ten years, as if it was yesterday.

After the Queen Mother blamed her, she asked, "Yuxiu, you left without saying goodbye back then, why did you suddenly come back now?"

Madam Yuxiu held the Empress Dowager's hand tightly with shame on her face.

"Since that incident, I was supposed to live in seclusion in the mountains and never come out. But recently, I keep dreaming that my daughter who died tragically is calling me."

A trembling voice sounded, bringing out infinite desolation.

The Empress Dowager is also in her twilight years, now that she hears the words of her former good sister, she can't help feeling sad.

"Yuxiu, I see that your health is not bad. Don't say these words!"

Madam Yuxiu wiped her tears with her hand, her face was still dignified and happy.

From that appearance, there was no fear of death at all.

On the contrary, he was a little more calm.

"I know that my end is approaching. I will be alone in this life. Now that half of my body is buried in the ground, there is still one thing in my heart that I can't let go. If this matter is not resolved, I'm afraid I won't rest in peace when I die."

Mrs. Yuxiu said, with guilt and distress on her face.

The queen mother watched this scene, and she felt pity in her heart.

Back then she and Mrs. Yuxiu were married to Jinlan. Although they were not biological sisters, their relationship was stronger than those biological sisters.

She was able to go all the way from concubine to imperial concubine, and finally became the queen of the world...

Among them, Mrs. Yuxiu came up with a lot of ideas.

Just like the accident more than ten years ago, she was the one who supported her behind her back.

Even, she couldn't even see the last side of her daughter.

Moreover, Mrs. Yuxiu has always had a strong personality, if she hadn't really encountered an unsolvable problem, she would never have come to ask her for help at this time.

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager also said firmly, "If you have any unresolved matters, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not shirk."

Mrs. Yuxiu looked at the queen mother gratefully.

She did not call herself "Aijia", but called herself "I" with a sincere face.

This meant that she had no intention of putting on airs in front of her at all.
