Pet official

Likun Palace is still the same as it used to be. Ruan Yunqing stepped up the stone steps, thinking of the year she spent in this palace, it was bitter and unbearable. A short period of time seems to be as long as ten years.

Empress Wei was in a good mood today, she took a nap in a tea room in the side hall and asked Ruan Yunqing to meet her in the tea room.

The maid who came to lead the way was a stranger, Ruan Yunqing had never seen her before, so she couldn't help but take a few extra glances.The girl was born extremely beautiful, with a gorgeous figure and a graceful figure. She walked like a weak willow blowing the wind, and even the flowers passing by along the way lost their color in front of her.

Ruan Yunqing was surprised, because of Emperor Hongyou's relationship, Empress Wei never used beautiful maids in front of her, and the servants around her were almost all eunuchs, and there were a few confidant maids, all of whom were ordinary-looking young men with few words. eldest daughter.This is the first time I have seen such a young and flower-like figure in this palace.

Seeing Ruan Yunqing looking at her, the woman just kept her eyes on Ruan Yunqing.She didn't speak, but her eyes were like silk, her cherry lips were lightly pursed, and she finally looked at Ruan Yunqing and smiled with her lips covered, her demeanor was infinitely shy and charming.

Ruan Yunqing quickly looked away, feeling weird in her heart.He looked at it out of curiosity, but the woman's eyes like autumn water seemed to have a pair of hooks, her eyes were dense and sticky, resting on her body, tightly enveloping her, as if the two of them had known each other for a long time It's been a long time, and the affection is very strong, otherwise it seems impossible to express the affection in my heart.

It was indeed the first time I met her, why did this person look at him like this?

The weirdness in her heart couldn't be dispelled, the more Ruan Yunqing thought about it, the more awkward she felt.Shivering for no reason, and feeling uncomfortable, Ruan Yunqing glanced at the woman again, and couldn't help speeding up her pace to distance herself from the woman.

Ruan Yunqing was young, and he was attracted by Song Ruan just after he fell in love. He entered the palace as a young man, and he didn't know about his affair, and no one taught him about it.Hearsay news can only tell people the principle, but the detailed experience cannot be copied.If Ruan Yunqing had been older, he would have been able to tell that the woman's gaze was nakedly seductive and bold, if it had been an adult man, he would have been unable to hold it by now.

In a blink of an eye, the woman arrived at the tea room, the woman went in first to report, followed the bamboo curtain, and Zheng Changchun came out from inside.

Ruan Yunqing hurriedly greeted him, and Zheng Changchun led him into the tea room.

The woman was standing next to Empress Wei just now, judging by the position she was standing, the order of her had surpassed Empress Wei's confidant maid, an aunt in charge who had been with Empress Wei for almost 20 years.Ruan Yunqing was even more surprised, she didn't know who this woman was, how could she be so highly valued by Empress Wei in just a few months.

Standing still at the door, Ruan Yunqing glanced at the room, then bowed to Empress Wei.

Empress Wei was speechless for a while, just staring at Ruan Yunqing quietly, sitting on the soft couch, holding up the jasper cup at hand from time to time, sipping the fragrant tea inside.

Ruan Yunqing straightened her shoulders, looked at her feet, and let Empress Wei scrutinize her.She was fully prepared when she came, and at this moment her heart was peaceful, Ruan Yunqing was not in a hurry, she waited quietly, only waiting for Queen Wei to ask her a question.

The time passed extremely long, and Empress Wei observed Ruan Yunqing's every move, even the slightest changes on his face and even his whole body.

The room was terribly quiet, only the sound of the queen putting down the teacup and the occasional chirping of birds outside the window.Zheng Changchun didn't dare to show his temper, the woman just stood quietly and didn't come forward to serve, Empress Wei's tea cup was empty, it was Zheng Changchun who went to refill the tea cup with new tea.

I don't know how long it took before I heard Empress Wei's cold voice: "Sit down."

Ruan Yunqing took his seat, and after taking his seat, someone brought tea, Ruan Yunqing glanced out of the corner of his eye, and saw that it was Xiao Pei.

Long time no see, Xiao Pei's face became more and more gloomy. When he saw Ruan Yunqing looking at him, he was expressionless. He looked like a doll who had lost his soul. He put down the tea cup mechanically, turned around and saluted the queen, and then Withdrew from the hall.

Ruan Yunqing frowned slightly, this was the little Pei she recognized.Although Xiao Pei was weak and timid in the past, he is not as distraught as he is now.He has a docile temperament, but is very tenacious. When facing a powerful enemy with him, he trembled with fear while telling himself not to worry.

Why has it only been three months since I last saw him, and this man has become like this.His face was pale, his eye sockets were black and blue, and he walked lightly, as if all the energy in his body had been sucked away, and he could no longer see the cheerful and clever look he used to have.

Ruan Yunqing felt sad for a while, thinking of Xiao Pei's various anomalies after Yuan Youjiang's death, he was too busy to take care of himself, and lost greetings.

No matter how bad he is, there are still many brothers and Ruan Baosheng to take care of him, but Xiao Pei is really alone and has no one to rely on.It has been several months since Yuan Youjiang passed away, and I don't know if he feels better.

"How is the prince recently?"

Empress Wei suddenly made a sound, and Ruan Yunqing couldn't help shaking.After calming down a little, he stood up and replied: "His Royal Highness has been very diligent these days. Apart from governing the court, he just reads in the house, and there is no abnormality."

Empress Wei nodded, and then asked the prince if he had met anyone in private, which ministers in the court he had a close relationship with, and if there was a woman he liked by his side, and whether he had summoned the female family members of the Duanhua Palace to sleep etc.

What should be said at this time, what should not be said, where to deliberately reveal a little bit, and where to hide Queen Wei while at the same time attracting her attention and other details, Ruan Yunqing discussed with Song Ren yesterday.

Empress Wei pressed her step by step and asked sharp questions. Ruan Yunqing put up all her energy and dealt with it carefully, so as not to show her feet.

After a full meal, Empress Wei stopped talking.She picked up the teacup again, and was speechless for a while again, Ruan Yunqing couldn't help feeling a little flustered at this time, different from before, she had put down a lot of bait now, but she didn't know if Empress Wei would take the bait.

The room fell into dead silence again, and Zheng Changchun stood behind Empress Wei, also like a wooden sculpture of clay.The longer time passed, the more uneasy Ruan Yunqing became. He was devoted to Song Ren, and now, in the name of cooperation, he set up a trick and waited for Queen Wei to sneak in.Heart pounding, Ruan Yunqing was really afraid that if she made a slight mistake, Song Ren would be harmed, and Ruan Baosheng and others' lives would be hurt.

"Qin Ji, step back first."

Empress Wei waved to the people around her, and the woman who had just brought Ruan Yunqing in agreed, blessed the empress, and led the maids and eunuchs standing in the room out of the room together.

Zheng Changchun was still standing beside Empress Wei. After everyone had exited the house, he quickly walked to the door. After going out, he closed the door and stood guard at the door, watching the movement outside.

Ruan Yunqing and Empress Wei were the only ones left in the room. Ruan Yunqing's palms were sweating, and he knew that the main drama would begin next.

Empress Wei pointed to Xiudun and motioned Ruan Yunqing to sit down. She smiled and said, "Sit down. You are too reserved in front of me. Sit down and talk."

Ruan Yunqing quickly thanked her and sat down again.

"I heard that the prince is surrounded by a man named Hongluan." Empress Wei said in a flat tone, not a question, but a very affirmative statement.

The story of Hongluan has been widely known, and it is not surprising that Queen Wei heard about it.

Ruan Yunqing replied in a deep voice, "Yes."

"I thought the prince was a lover, but I didn't expect him to be the same as his father. When they are in love, they are very good. They don't care about people's words and just spoil them to the sky. But once there is a new person around him, he will forget it in a blink of an eye. After leaving the old one, the past love is like a joke, and the new one has become his real heart and soul."

Empress Wei sneered: "Hmph, love the other when you see one, and forget about the old when you have a new one. They are indeed biological father and son."

The expression on her face changed back and forth between contempt, contempt and as expected, even the slightest lines on her face seemed to be sarcasm.

The sarcasm finally turned into a gloat, Empress Wei stared straight at Ruan Yunqing, sneered and said: "You are useless too, why can't you even win the prince's heart, I will transfer you to Duanhua Palace, The purpose is to give you the convenience of being close to the water, but why did you let an outsider come from behind and occupy the favor that should belong to you?"

Seeing Ruan Yunqing's face changed, he felt uncomfortable and looked bitter, Empress Wei felt more and more that she had poked his sore spot.

Empress Wei couldn't help but sarcastically said, "You should beat him out! As the chief eunuch of Duanhua Palace, all affairs in the palace are mediated by you alone. Isn't it easy to punish a person. If you make a stumbling block behind your back, ten red luan will not be a problem. Could it be that you are afraid that the crown prince will blame you?"

After Queen Wei finished speaking, she burst into laughter. Her voice was piercing and piercing, piercing people's eardrums, making people feel uncomfortable.

Ruan Yunqing was already disturbed because of Hong Luan's matter, but now that Empress Wei taunted her face to face, her heart was really sour and astringent, and she was in unspeakable pain.

The whole person fell into an unspeakable bitterness, Ruan Yunqing's eyes were red, and his face was miserable. When Empress Wei saw her, she thought that Song Ren really empathized with Hongluan, and she put Ruan Yunqing aside.

The suspicion in her heart dissipated a lot, and Empress Wei trusted Ruan Yunqing even more after seeing such a situation.The stiffer the relationship between Ruan Yunqing and Song Ruan was, the better it would be for her. A person who hated Song Ruan was undoubtedly the biggest help she had placed beside Song Ruan.
