Chapter 41 Isolation
Yanran came at noon, and Su Ruiran was still facing the scriptures in the room, because Li Guifei's people had come to urge her a few times after breakfast, she wanted to finish copying and send it over, and then go to see Yanran later.Although she also knew that Yanran definitely didn't want to see her at this time, but after all, the sisters had to go, and they had to go, otherwise, it would be a shame for people to talk about it.

After arguing and coughing twice, Yin He hurried over to get a cloak to put on her, and said with concern: "Miss didn't rest well last night, did she catch a cold?"

Su Ruiran shook her head: "It doesn't matter, it's just that I feel a little dizzy from the smell of jasmine."

Seeing that her complexion was not good, Yin He became more anxious all of a sudden. He squeezed her hand, feeling as if he had touched a piece of ice: "He said it's okay, why is Miss's hand so cold, this servant will call the doctor immediately."

Su Ruiran shook her head: "No need, Grandma Wang went to invite her early in the morning, but none of the imperial doctors in the palace refused to come, saying that the concubine was not feeling well and stayed to serve her."

In fact, she had already guessed this morning that Concubine Li Gui was ill, probably because she had said hello and she couldn't come to see her doctor.But it's not a big problem, I guess I haven't had a good rest, and I can go back home in a few days, so I'm afraid there won't be a doctor by then?

After finally copying all the scriptures again, Su Ruiran felt as if her wrist was about to break off, and her head was a little dizzy.

Seeing this, Yin He hurried over to help her: "Miss, take a rest first."

As soon as she helped Su Ruiran to sit down, another eunuch from Concubine Li's palace came to urge her: "If Miss Su finishes copying, please send it over immediately, our mother is still waiting to see."

While supporting Su Ruiran, Yin He said to them: "My lady is not feeling well, so let me take her there."

The eunuch glanced at her: "Our empress said, we want Miss Su to send it over in person, but our empress has been waiting for you to transcribe the whole morning, Miss Su should hurry up, the empress will be angry gone."

Yin He was furious when he heard this, and stared at him: "Didn't you see that our lady is unwell? If something happens to our lady, you probably won't be able to explain it to the imperial concubine when you go back."

The eunuch ignored Yin He, but respectfully said to Su Ruiran with a smile on his face: "Miss Su, don't embarrass your slave, right? What's more, our empress is usually busy assisting the empress to deal with the affairs of the six palaces, which is rare If you have the time to teach someone's lady personally. Look at so many official ladies, our empress looks at Miss Su differently, Miss Su must not go against the will of the empress."

Although the eunuch was a little glib, what he said was reasonable.Su Ruiran couldn't refute for a while. Although she knew in her heart that she might be troubled again in the past today, but if she didn't go, she would inevitably fall into the shoes of others and cause many troubles. She said to the eunuch: "Then please ask your father-in-law to stay outside." Wait, since I'm going to see the empress, let me wash up before going."

The eunuch smiled and said: "That's natural, then the slave will wait outside, and please come out quickly." After speaking, he took the other palace people and retreated.

Su Ruiran stood up, Yin He hurriedly supported her, his face was full of worry: "Miss."

She shook her head: "I'm fine, just dress me up."

Yin He immediately went to fetch water, waited on her to change her clothes, and barely covered her pale face with thicker makeup than usual.No matter what, you can't show weakness, and you can't let them see your own jokes.

She took a breath in front of the mirror, and told herself secretly that the current situation is very unfavorable to her, so she must bear it no matter what in the past few days, and she will have a chance to turn things around in the future.Otherwise, it is very likely to repeat the mistakes of the previous life, be harmed by others, and die with hatred.

It's just that with the grooming and the time spent on the road, it's still a bit late when she arrives.

Yin He supported her and bowed to Concubine Li Gui first according to the etiquette.

Concubine Li Gui's yurt was burning incense, and she didn't know what kind of expensive spice it was, but Su Ruiran's chest felt more and more dull when she smelled it.

Concubine Li Gui was leaning on the rosewood bed carved with peony flowers, holding a peacock round fan inlaid with gold, shaking it gently.Today she is simple and elegant, she is wearing a moon-white coat covered with flowers and dark patterns, her hair is tied up in a simple bun and tied with a carved white jade hairpin.Although there was no makeup on her face, it was hard to hide her beauty, only her eyebrows were carefully drawn, which showed the brilliance of her eyes even more.

Seeing Su Ruiran bowing to her and fiddling with the red agate jade bracelet in her hand, she didn't let her get up immediately: "Why are you so late?"

Su Ruiran immediately stated the reason, and Concubine Li Gui simply gave a "huh" after hearing this, and did not make things difficult for her, and asked her to stand up first.Is it so easy to let yourself go?This made Su Ruiran very speculative in her heart, and she couldn't help but have some doubts.

She handed over the re-transcribed scripture respectfully, and Lan Xi took it and held it in front of Concubine Li. Concubine Li only glanced sideways, and said: "It's still perfunctory, copy it again."

Yin He became anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Madam, my young lady is not feeling well, so I really can't copy any more."

Concubine Li's eyes drooped, and Lan Xi immediately went over and slapped Yin He severely: "Bold servant girl! Your Majesty is talking to your young lady, so why should you interrupt?"

Su Ruiran hurriedly said: "It's all due to my daughter's ineffective discipline, please forgive me."

Concubine Li raised her eyebrows: "Of course it's the master's fault that the servants are not disciplined well, come on, drag me out and slap me for forty."

Both Su Ruiran and Yin He were taken aback, Li Guifei's words were unclear, who was she trying to hit?

Concubine Li Gui looked at her panicked expression, and smiled at her: "Don't worry, since you are the daughter of the prime minister, you are naturally untouchable. If you want to beat her, you will naturally beat this talkative servant. Who told her There is no respect at all, and I don't take this palace seriously."

Su Ruiran didn't know that she was pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, but she hurriedly said for Yin He: "Since she is the maidservant of my servant, I would like to ask my lady to let my servant take her back to discipline her personally. How dare you bother me."

"It's okay." Concubine Li Gui didn't give her a chance to intercede, she winked, and the two eunuchs next to her immediately went over to pull Yin He.

How could Su Ruiran just watch Yin He being taken away, stopped the two eunuchs, and was about to tell her the difference.

However, Yin He took her arm, shook his head, with tears in his eyes: "It's all the servant's fault, Miss, don't bother about the servant anymore."

Su Ruiran understood that the look in her eyes was telling him, don't make enemies with Concubine Li Gui because of her.She felt unspeakably moved, but she blamed herself. Seeing Yin He being dragged down, she raised her face and suppressed her tears abruptly.

Harsh applause came from outside the door, as if hitting her in the heart.

Before the fight outside was over, a eunuch came in to announce: "Your Majesty, the Second Miss Su has arrived, Madam Su is bringing the Second Miss to greet the Empress. The Miss is also here."

Concubine Li Gui glanced at me and ordered: "Let them all come in."

It's really a narrow road to enemies, but Biansheng met them again when he was most embarrassing.Su Ruiran straightened up and straightened her face. The more they wanted to see her sad and depressed, the more she couldn't let them succeed.

The curtain was lifted, and Yan Shi, Su Yanran and Guan Mushuang walked in together. Yan Shi walked in front, glanced at Su Ruiran briefly, and then saluted the noble concubine with Yan Ran: "I am carrying the little girl with me. Let's see the imperial concubine together."

Concubine Li Gui asked them to get up with a smile, and immediately enthusiastically ordered people to watch the seats.

Guan Mushuang paid respects to Concubine Li Gui, and said with a smile, "Shuang'er has seen my aunt."

Although her etiquette is not solemn, there are no outsiders here, Concubine Li Gui also smiled and asked her to get up and let her sit beside her.

Having not seen Yanran for many days, Su Ruiran saw that her appearance was still the same, but she looked much calmer.She turned her head to look at Su Ruiran, got up and saluted her: "My sister is here too."

Su Ruiran hurriedly returned the gift: "Second Mother, younger sister."

According to Concubine Li Gui's order, Lan Xi brought three bowls of sour plum soup, and handed one of the bowls to Yan Shi first with a smiling face: "It's hot outside, and it's hard work for Madam and Second Miss to come all the way here. This sour plum soup was chilled early in the morning. Summer is the best."

Yan took it with both hands and quickly thanked him, with a smile on his face: "No, the sky was still gloomy when I woke up in the morning, and I thought it was going to rain, but I never thought that it would be such a scorching sun-exposed scene in the afternoon."

Concubine Li Gui turned her head and looked out of the window. The sunlight was particularly glaring, she turned her head and ordered Lan Xi to take the book case out, and said to Su Ruiran: "I have something important to discuss with your second mother, so you can go outside and write. "

Su Ruiran looked at the poisonous sun outside the window, and this copying of scriptures probably took several hours, she was already feeling a little unwell.Concubine Li Gui asked her to go outside because she wanted her to suffer this humiliation in public.Looking at the other people in the room, who is not waiting to see his own jokes.

She respectfully said to Concubine Li: "Your Majesty, it is a blessing for a minister to be able to copy scriptures for your mother. However, a minister feels unwell when she wakes up in the morning, as if she has caught the wind and cold. It is really not suitable to copy scriptures under the scorching sun."

As soon as she finished speaking, Guan Mushuang said with a smile: "I saw Sister Su's ruddy complexion, she doesn't seem to be sick at all? Why lie to my aunt just to copy a few volumes of scriptures?"

Ignoring the sarcasm in her words, Su Ruiran still respectfully said: "Your Majesty, I didn't intend to deceive you, and everything I said is true."

Before Concubine Li Gui could speak, Yan Shi said to her first: "Rui Ran, since Your Majesty is willing to bother to train you, you should go and copy the scriptures for your Majesty. If you expose your faults, you must not be perfunctory, otherwise it will only be blamed for your ignorance of etiquette."

She gritted her teeth, what Yan said was not unreasonable.Although there is unwillingness in my heart, I can only endure the anger for a while.

Concubine Li Gui shook the fan in her hand and stared at her: "Lan Xi, take Miss Su out."

There was a slight soreness in her temples, she endured the discomfort and said: "Don't bother your mother, I will go out by myself."

Lan Xi went over to lift the curtain for her, with a half-hearted smile: "Miss Su, please."

Su Ruiran walked outside the door, and the book case had already been carried out.

After forty slaps were over, Yin He saw her coming out, and came over with a red and swollen face, with blood on the corner of his mouth: "Miss."

Seeing her appearance, Su Ruiran was a little sad, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth: "I'm fine."

Lan Xi stood aside and looked at the two of them coldly: "Miss Su, please copy it quickly, the empress is still waiting."

Su Ruiran picked up the ink block and was about to grind it, when Yin He snatched it from her hand: "Let the servant come, the servant is with the young lady."

Su Ruiran nodded, holding back and almost crying.In any case, she swore that she would never let anyone laugh at her.
