Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace

The atmosphere in the Snappers became extremely strange.

Ruyi guessed that the queen wanted to say something to draw the topic, but before she could open her mouth, the emperor slowly picked up a piece of peeled walnut and ate it, and said calmly, "how is the child? You have been eating well these few days." Not fragrant?"

Children, the emperor's care and protection are only for children.Ruyi understood this fact like blood in her heart, bowed her body and said with a smile: "I'm fine, but the weather has been bad these few days, I'm always bored in the palace, I don't want to eat or drink. Physician Jiang has already prescribed some appetizing and nourishing medicine, The concubine is already feeling better after eating."

The emperor gave a "hmm", nodded and said: "It's good that there is nothing to do. These days are rainy and rainy, but it's rare to be happy. I think it's great for you to be with you."

"In terms of gentle temperament, the gentle promises from the nobleman in the harem and the pure concubine's sister are very good. But the concubine is already accompanied by sister Hailan, so I am not greedy anymore." Ruyi seemed to mention Wan unintentionally. Agreeing is also selling favors in advance.She looked at the queen who seemed to have something to say, first smiled modestly, and said to the emperor: "The emperor thinks that the rainy day is deserted, but the concubine feels that since the emperor has newly agreed with Mei, why don't you invite her to play a song?" Playing the pipa? The sound of the rain and the sound of the pipa are very beautiful."

The queen looked surprised, but she took the initiative to mention it.The emperor was also puzzled after hearing this, the smile on his lips was very light, but it seemed like the quiet dust in the pavilion, with a warm breath, and said immediately: "She has refused to face the saint for five or six days, she always said The wound on her face is not healed, so she is not suitable for face-to-face, let her go."

"I heard that the concubine Gao was not punished severely that day, so why haven't you recovered these days?" Ruyi pretended to be puzzled, "Even if Mei promised, there is something wrong with it, the emperor might as well ask the imperial doctor to take a look, if he is not sure what to do. The servant is not deep, where is it broken?"

The queen smiled and said: "That day Concubine Gao got a bit more tempered, but there was something wrong with Mei's promise. The emperor was worried about Mei's promise, but he didn't condone her. The concubine was very pleased." She slowly looked at Ruyi , Gentle and virtuous, "I originally thought my sister didn't like Mei's promise, but now it seems that she is very concerned about her. I heard that Mei promised to invite my sister to enjoy the snow, but my sister refused for some reason. Thinking about it, if a younger sister accompanied Ti Dianmei to agree that day, Concubine Gao would not be so angry."

It's a good trick to bring disaster to the east, it doesn't matter if Concubine Gao beats someone, it doesn't matter if Mei promises to commit a crime, but the queen means that she is jealous of Mei's promise to be favored, this is the great crime of the harem.

Ruyi's gaze suddenly focused on the queen's clothes, which were so calm yet gorgeous in purple color, lively and embroidered with patterns of peonies, bees and butterflies, and embroidered with the Chinese character "longevity". A smile floated leisurely: "The empress is really good at hearing and seeing. She even knows what Mei promised to say to the concubine. Why didn't she hear the sentence that the concubine was anxious to go back to the palace that day? It must be The servants below are not good, so the empress misunderstood."

The queen's face changed suddenly. Doesn't this mean that she is spying on the concubine?But seeing the emperor shaking the teacup, the inside was as green as a piece of fine jasper, and he took a sip leisurely: "The empress really worked hard in governing the harem."

Such ambiguous words do not match the preamble, but Ruyi understands that this is the emperor's reminder and beating to the empress.She straightened her brocade dress with plum green embroidered milky white skyflowers, and brought Hailan to bow respectfully: "The empress is diligent and frugal, and all the concubines are grateful for the empress's kindness."

The lonely Ling Xiaohua was so dim and out of place in front of her, but she bloomed wantonly like that, becoming a thorn in the queen's heart.The queen's throat seemed to contain a sour plum, she couldn't spit it out or swallow it, with a forced smile on her face, she said kindly: "They're all my sisters, why don't you just kneel down, get up quickly. "

The emperor's originally faint smile gradually became warmer: "I know you respect the empress, but the empress is kind, so it's just that you don't make mistakes in your gifts. Ruyi, you should be careful of the emperor's heir."

One Ruyi, one queen, needless to say about closeness.The empress's smile froze on the corner of her lips, like a flower that is about to thank you. After froze for a moment, she let it bloom: "Speaking of Mei's promise, I don't know if I should say something or not."

The emperor smiled and said: "The queen and I, what should I say?"

The Queen's smile faltered slightly: "After lunch, Mei promised to come to Chen Qie, and showed Chen Qie her face. Chen Qie couldn't make up her mind for a while, so she had to bring her to see the emperor. Mei promised to cry, and now I didn't dare to enter the palace, but I was talking about Concubine Xian, so I hurriedly called Concubine Xian over. Please also ask the emperor to look at Mei's promised face."

Ruyi thought that it really came, and the emperor was quite surprised: "Ruiji is here? Where is she?"

The queen said gloomily: "People are waiting in the side hall, but they dare not come to see the emperor." The queen saw that the emperor's eyebrows gradually twisted, and said, "Suxin, go and ask Mei to agree to come in. If you have any grievances, please tell me yourself. .”

Su Xin went out for a while, then led Mei to agree to come in.Mei promised to wear delicate clothes as usual, but there was an extra white gauze scarf on her face, which was covered by temple flowers on both sides, covering most of her clean face like a lotus in water.

With tears in her eyes, she saluted according to the rules. Before she finished saluting, the emperor stopped her and said, "What's the matter? Even if I received two slaps, these days should be better."

Mei promised to cry uncontrollably, and said in a coquettish voice: "Anyway, it hurt the concubine's face. The emperor is having fun, and he thinks it's very happy to be red and swollen."

Ruyi heard her talking to the emperor like this, and suddenly remembered that when she was still Zhen Huan, she would do her makeup in front of the Linghua mirror when she got up in the morning, and she would also joke with Xuan Ling like this, talking heartfelt words without hypocrisy , there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority.At that age, the enemies were gone one by one, it was really the most relaxing and worry-free time in my life.It just passed by with a flick of the finger, and let her destroy it with her own hands.At the moment, watching the emperor and Mei agree to get close and happy, she doesn't feel uncomfortable, or, she doesn't have to feel uncomfortable.

Looking up at the queen, the queen just lowered her face, like the Miaoyan Buddha statue enshrined in the temple, neither joy nor sorrow, the treasure looks solemn, and only at this time, Ruyi will feel that she looks like Zhu Yixiu.Ruyi was playing with the gold silk snowball pendant hanging from the skirt, the beads were round and hard, which made her palms ache.

Mei promised to cry, then hurriedly tore off the veil from her face, Ruyi glanced at it, and her back felt numb.Mei's promised face was originally red and swollen from a slap, and the corners of her mouth were covered with blood, but now it was not only swollen into bruises and mottled, but the damage at the corners of her mouth also festered, spreading to the dimples, forming layers of snow-white skin flakes, like It looks like a layer of frost, and the bright red tender meat is exposed underneath.

The emperor's face changed in shock: "Your face..." He didn't continue, and looked at the empress, who immediately said: "This appearance is definitely not caused by slapping, it must be something wrong, or there is no diet."

Mei promised to kneel on the ground immediately, her eyes mournful like the cold dew dripping in the night, she cried: "I cherish my appearance, I dare not make the Emperor unhappy by breaking my face. Is it the concubine's fault to offend the noble concubine? Beating up the concubine should also be tolerated, but the concubine is already eating lightly, taking medicines on time, and even dares to use the best rouge and water powder given by the concubine Xian a few days ago, but her face is getting worse and worse. The concubine is panicked and anxious I was afraid and didn't dare to meet the emperor, so I had to tell the empress."

Rouge gouache?Ruyi remembered that the concubine Qing Hemei agreed to the canonization that day, and she really sent the gift with great care.So that's the case, this is interesting, it seems that the Queen and the others might as well come up with a clever trick like in the book, which is too low-end.

Seeing the empress and Mei promised to sing and talk lively over there, the emperor gradually frowned, and ordered someone to fetch the rouge and gouache that Mei promised to use, and then asked Wang Qin to immediately prepare the prescription for the temple. Doctor Zhao, please come in and have a look.Imperial doctor Zhao is a very agile person, please go to see the red and swollen face of Mei promised, then smell the rouge gouache, rub a little bit on his fingers, knelt down and said: "This gouache is the best. That’s right, it’s just that some white flower pills have been added, and it’s become a cheap thing that causes redness, swelling and shedding.”

The queen frowned and said, "Baihuadan? Why is it so familiar?"

Imperial Physician Zhao respectfully said: "Yes. After entering the winter palaces, they have received the powder of plum flower dan, together with the dried leaves of the sea wind vine, it is a good medicine for dispelling rheumatism, dredging collaterals and relieving pain blindly. The humidity in the palace is heavy, and the empress A lot of the empress's grace was distributed in each palace, and they were made into sachets and hung on the body. Only Mei promised to be favored recently, and her Yonghe Palace has just been tidied up, so there is no one."

Ruyi also said: "Yes. The concubine heard that all the palaces received a lot last month."

The queen said again and again: "That's not true! All the concubines, concubines Xian, and nobles Yu have such sachets on their bodies." The three sachets usually hang on the side of the body, and the patterns are all bluegrass.

The emperor avoided eye contact with Mei's promised face, and only said, "What exactly is Baihuadan?"

Doctor Zhao said: "If Baihuadan is used in combination with other medicines, it is a good medicine, which can strengthen the tendons and activate blood circulation. But if it is used alone, it is a very overbearing medicine and is poisonous. As long as the skin is in contact with Baihuadan , just a little bit, it will be red, swollen and peeling, and then ulcerated, dripping with water, forming an ulcer. After a long time, the ulcer will not heal, the skin of the sore surface is grayish white or dark red, and gray black or greenish sewage overflows, which is extremely filthy. The sores became more and more rotten and deep, and even the outer flesh was removed, and the tibia was visible. The symptom of my promise is that this rouge gouache is mixed with white flower dan."

Mei promised to cry as soon as she heard it, pointing at Ruyi and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this concubine offended Concubine Xian for some reason, and asked Xin Xin to send such a thing to harm my concubine!" She stared at Ruyi, He said with hatred, "The concubine knows that her background is lowly. If someone can't tolerate the concubine serving the emperor's side, the concubine would rather die here, and can't stand these low-handed tricks!"

The queen also looked at Ruyi with a sad expression, "Mei's promise is just a promise, why bother Concubine Xian... Alas, she can't get past you anyway." This kind of thing is the incompetence of the concubine, and I ask the emperor to punish him."

The emperor took a sip of tea, supported the queen and said, "The queen has always been virtuous, and I have many of them." His eyes fell on Ruyi's face, with a hint of inquiry: "Concubine Xian, what do you want to say?" explain?"

The dark smell of ambergris in the hall is too strong, and it is almost suffocating when it is smoked by the heating.Ruyi's face was as calm as jade, and she looked at Imperial Physician Zhao: "Is Imperial Physician Zhao sure that the festering on Mei's promise is because of Baihuadan?"

Imperial Physician Zhao was slightly taken aback, then bowed his head and said, "I have practiced medicine for more than [-] years, this disease can still be judged, it is undoubtedly Baihuadan."

The empress looked back and her eyes were like cotton, but there was a silver needle-like light hidden in the cotton: "Concubine Xian, the thing came out of the rouge and gouache you gave me, what can you explain? Everyone has jealousy, but Mei Promise to be born in Ulanara's mansion, you should always take this friendship into consideration."

Mei promised to turn her face away, and looked at Ruyi with an aggressive tone: "Concubine Xian refused to enjoy the snow with my concubine that day, which shows her jealousy towards my concubine. Gouache!"

The emperor looked at Ruyi, his dark eyes were calm and unflappable: "Since such a big incident happened, and it hurt Mei's promised face, I have to investigate thoroughly."

Finally, when the emperor opened his mouth, Ruyi stood up, knelt down on the thick "Songhe Changchun" woven gold blanket that was about an inch long, and said slowly: "The emperor should investigate, and he should also investigate who framed his concubines."

One word stirred up waves, Mei agreed with a sneer: "Framed? The imperial concubine will really excuse herself. There is no basis for her empty words. Why do you say someone is framed?"

"I also want to ask this question, why is it empty talk, Mei promised to say that I did it?" Ruyi looked at her flat, and refused to avoid the slightest look, even with a little indifference. Gentle smile.

"You noble concubine Xian!...the rouge and gouache you gave are all here, how dare you deny it!" Mei promised to bite her lower lip in hatred, and kowtowed to the emperor repeatedly: "Please the emperor make the decision for the concubine!"

The empress thought for a moment, and before the emperor could speak, she said, "Concubine Xian, whether you did it or not, you must ask. Go to the Department of Punishment. If you have any questions, the Jingqi nunnery there will ask you." The criminal department is in charge of the prison of the harem, from the concubines to the palace servants. Once they make a mistake, they all have to peel off a layer of skin to get out.Even if Ruyi could stand it, the child couldn't stand it either.

"Concubine Xian is pregnant with the emperor's heir after all, so there is no need for the Punishment Department." The emperor said slowly.

Ruyi, however, had crooked eyebrows and bent down to worship: "Since you are already in front of the emperor, why should you wait for Jingqi to ask? It is enough for the concubine to prove her innocence." She paused and explained eloquently: "Just now, when the minister and concubine asked the imperial physician, it was to prove that she had nothing to do with this matter. The imperial physician said that there was a white flower pill in the rouge powder, and that it was because of the white flower pill that Mei agreed to disfigure her face, but the empress—the minister and concubine did not have the white flower pill."

The emperor and empress were all startled, and Mei promised to point to the purse on her waist in amazement: "Is Concubine Xian going to lie with her red mouth and white teeth? Your purse is still hanging on your body, this is a crime of deceiving the emperor!"

"It's true that I have a purse on my body. Mr. Yu, you can tell the emperor and queen about this." Ruyi said slowly.

Under the surprised gazes of the three emperors, Hailan knelt down steadily, and whispered softly: "Return to the emperor and queen, there is no white flower pill on Concubine Xian. It should be said that there is no white flower pill in Yikun Palace. Just now the imperial physician also said Yes, Baihuadan is mixed with other medicinal materials, it can expel wind and dampness, relax tendons and activate blood circulation, but the imperial concubine is pregnant, so she can't use these at all." She said, she untied her and Ruyi's sachets, and poured out the powder inside "The concubine is serving the concubine, so naturally she can't use it. Therefore, Yikun Palace did not go to the House of Internal Affairs to receive the white flower pill. But the empress gave the white flower pill out of kindness, and the concubine dared not refuse to accept it, so she ordered the concubine to accept it." She embroidered a sachet according to the pattern of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and filled it with lily powder for peace of mind and peace of mind. Therefore, Ruomei promised that she was really harmed by Baihuadan, but it turned out that it had nothing to do with the imperial concubine, and someone must have framed her behind her back, taking Baihuadan Mixed into the gift from the imperial concubine."

After the emperor heard this, his brows gradually relaxed, he stretched out his hand to help Hailan and Ruyi, and said gently: "It's rare that you value the empress's heart so much, it's just that you can tell the empress clearly. You are always feeling unwell these days , it must be because of the smell of sachets from other people."

As soon as the words were finished, the queen hurriedly stood up with a smile, with a sense of sternness: "It's the concubine who didn't think carefully, which caused the concubine Xian to move her fetus. Please forgive me."

The emperor frowned and said: "The empress is at fault, but it's not your fault." A trace of unbearableness flashed in his eyes, just like the tail of a meteor flashing by, and disappeared in an instant.

Ruyi saw it in her eyes, noncommittal, but murmured: "I still have a few words to ask Mei to agree, and please the emperor to agree." She looked at Mei and agreed, her eyes were as cold as piercingly piercing.

"Precise play."
