[Red Mansion] Married by decree

A few days later, I don't know what Aunt Zhen's grandma said, but Zhen Ruolian was sent to the palace and served by the Queen Mother's side. Zhen Ruolian is also a good at flattering people, and within half a day after arriving, she robbed the work of the first-class maid beside the Empress Dowager.In front of the Supreme Emperor and the Zhen family's aunt, the queen mother even praised the Zhen family for teaching a good girl, and she was very considerate.

Although Yunze was not born by the Empress Dowager, she was taken care of by the Empress Dowager and respected the Empress Dowager very much, so he would come to the Empress Dowager's place every day to pay her respects.

When Yun Ze came over today, he found that the Empress Dowager had an extra maid.The palace lady was very familiar, but her attire was neither fish nor fowl.Serving next to the Empress Dowager must be the Empress Dowager's eldest maid, but she is wearing the standard palace clothes of ordinary court ladies at this time.

In this imperial palace, the clothes of the maids of honor are all strictly graded. According to the grades, the colors, materials, and workmanship are all different.

Zhen Ruolian did not enter the palace as a court lady, so naturally she was not suitable to wear the clothes of a high-grade court lady.Therefore, her clothes are all of the standard of ordinary court ladies.

"Queen Mother, the eldest palace maid next to you, my son-in-law looked rather strange. I don't know who taught this rule?"

Since Yunze came in, Zhen Ruolian stared at him, her eyes were shining brightly.If Yunze is a veteran in the field of love, maybe he knows what the light in Zhen Ruolian's eyes means.It's a pity that Yunze is not, and he has no interest in knowing the meaning of that light.

Now Yunze only felt that the rules of the big maid next to the Empress Dowager were extremely bad, and it was not too bold for a servant to look directly at the master like this.

"This is the concubine daughter of the Zhen family in Jinling, not the eldest maid in my palace." The Queen Mother's words were indifferent, without any emotion.

Seeing Yunze's eyes as if looking at something irrelevant, Zhen Ruolian only felt a tingle in her heart.She originally thought that even if Yunze couldn't hear her voice, she should just remember her appearance.Just looking at it like that, I'm afraid I don't even remember what I look like.

Yunze really didn't remember what Zhen Ruolian looked like, although he had seen her a few times in Jinling.But a mere Zhen family is not qualified to let Yun Zefei remember her family's first daughter in his heart.

"It turned out to be the first daughter of the Zhen family."

Yunze's voice was released very slowly, but it made Zhen Ruolian's back shudder.Knowing that Yunze was disgusted by his gaze just now, he quickly knelt down and apologized.

"The courtier has offended the lord for no reason, and I hope the lord will forgive me." Zhen Ruolian said, and glanced at Yunze cautiously.

Yun Ze was still smiling, but he didn't cry out.The one who seemed to be kneeling was an ordinary court lady.Zhen Ruolian was even more unwilling. She liked Yunze, and she liked him since the first time Jinling met him.

"I haven't thanked my mother yet, but thanks to my mother for speaking for my future princess in front of my father that day."

When Yunze called Daiyu, he used Miss Lin, but today he called her the future princess so bluntly.The queen mother glanced at Zhen Ruolian who was still kneeling in front of Yunze, and knew Yunze's intentions.She followed Yunze's voice, in which she defended Daiyu a lot.

Compared to Zhen Ruolian, it's because of Aunt Zhen's liking.The Empress Dowager was somewhat sincere towards the sensible and well-behaved Daiyu.

What's more, one is the future royal daughter-in-law, and the other is the daughter of the Zhen family.

"The queen mother also likes Miss Lin very much, so naturally she has to protect her. If you bully that girl in the future, the queen mother will not follow her."

"She is Erchen's concubine, how could Erchen bully her."

Zhen Ruolian has been paying attention to Yunze, and found that when he mentioned Daiyu, even his eyes are much gentler, and his heart is even more unwilling.

Who can stand the person he likes, defending another woman in front of him.Zhen Ruolian couldn't take it anymore, she endured it, and didn't even understand the hidden meaning in Yun Ze and the Queen Mother's words.

For Daiyu, Zhen Ruolian is resentful, not for anything else, but because she bears the name of Yunze's future princess, and because of her protection of Yunze.No matter whether the two have enmity or not, no matter whether the two have an intersection or not, this is enough for Zhen Ruolian to hate her.

"Why is Miss Zhen still kneeling, get up."

Yunze seemed to have only now realized that Zhen Ruolian was kneeling on the ground, so he cried out.He held the cup to drink tea, but he didn't even look at Zhen Ruolian.

"Empress, Yunze still has business to deal with, so he resigned first."

"Business is important, you go."

Zhen Ruolian looked at Yunze's leaving back, and bit her lip desperately.She loves Yunze, but Yunze doesn't love her, and still cares about other women in front of her, which makes her heart ache.

Although she recognized such a fact, Zhen Ruolian did not want to give up.She is the legitimate daughter of the family, and she was spoiled and brought up since she was a child. As long as it is what she wants, the family will definitely give it to her.Even her concubine sisters are not as good as her.

She likes Yunze and wants Yunze to be her husband.She wanted Yunze's gentle eyes just now to be born for her, and she hoped that Yunze would love him.So she has to fight for it, even if she uses some means, she still wants to get her own love.

"You have just entered the palace, and you don't know much about the rules in the palace, so go and learn the rules first."

Yunze might not understand Zhen Ruolian's gaze, but the Queen Mother did.But also find it ridiculous, the most useless thing in this palace is love.

"I know I was wrong, I must learn the rules from my aunt, so as not to disappoint the queen mother."

"You go down."

Zhen Ruolian is different from Daiyu, Daiyu enters the palace with the identity of the future Princess Anshun, and has no conflict of interest with anyone, so others are naturally happy to make friends.

But Zhen Ruolian entered the palace under the banner of serving the Queen Mother.If you are a servant, you will naturally steal other people's work, and even other people's favor, so how can you not make people bear grudges.

As the saying goes: A strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake, let alone Zhen Ruolian is not even a strong dragon.Although the big palace ladies beside the queen mother dare not be too blatant, they will not be soft when they stumble.Rather, it made Zhen Ruolian suffer a lot when learning the rules.

The Queen Mother also knew about this, but she didn't care.Zhen Ruolian is just one, not worthy of the Empress Dowager's presence.Moreover, it is also good for her to recognize her identity, so that Xiao Xiao will not think about things that do not belong to him.

On this day, Zhen Ruolian was still learning the rules, but she couldn't do well.It's not a mistake here, or a mistake there. A rule has been made more than a dozen times, but there are still some places that are not done well.Even the rules that were clearly done a few days ago are still wrong today.

"Do it again."

Next to Zhen Ruolian were three court ladies, one of whom was sitting, and the other two were standing beside her.The clothes of the three court ladies are all better than Zhen Ruolian's, which shows that their status is not low.

The one who was sitting was the one with the best clothes among the three, her surname was Zhu, everyone in the palace called her Aunt Zhu, she taught etiquette in the Queen Mother's palace.

"Yes."

Zhen Ruolian replied, and then followed suit, her small face was soft and weak, ready to cry, as if someone had bullied her.The other three people who watched were extremely disgusted with her.

The three of them had taken advantage of the empress dowager's maid, so they deliberately made things difficult for Zhen Ruolian, but they didn't go too far.It's just that the requirements are a little stricter, and I'm a little more critical, and the rules have been repeated a few times.It didn't make people suffer any flesh and blood.

"Do it again, with the legs bent a little more and the hands slightly back."

"Yes……"

What Zhen Ruolian did was to salute, this is already No.15 times today: "Ah..." There was an exclamation, and Zhen Ruolian fell down.Although he fell, he was not very embarrassed.

"Aunt Zhu, I'm sorry, Ruolian didn't do it on purpose, Ruolian will do it again."

Zhen Ruolian hurriedly got up from the ground, regardless of whether she was hurt or not, she did the greeting again, but the movement was still not very standard.Aunt Zhu looked very irritable, and she didn't like Zhen Ruolian in her heart.

"Do it again, the hand movement is still wrong."

Aunt Zhu felt that her patience was about to run out. She had learned very well in the past few days, even if she deliberately found fault with her and asked her to do it again several times, she had to admit that she learned quickly and her movements were very standard.

It's just that today, he has become so dull, finally can't bear to find fault on purpose.After Zhen Ruolian did it a few more times, An's move was finally over.

"This time is good, let's go..."

"Aunt Zhu, Ruolian thinks that she didn't do the kowtow very well, so I ask aunt to teach Ruolian again." Before Aunt Zhu finished speaking, Zhen Ruolian interrupted her and asked her to teach her another movement.

Aunt Zhu stared at Zhen Ruolian for a while, then turned her head and gave instructions to another maid next to her, asking that maid to demonstrate it to Zhen Ruolian.

Zhen Ruolian looked at it seriously, as if carefully observing every movement of the saluting person, with a very serious attitude.

It's a pity that her movements are still nondescript. It may be considered good for ordinary people, but such movements are unqualified in the palace.

"Miss Zhen, please do it again."

In fact, Zhen Ruolian was thrown hard just now, not only hurt her knee and elbow, but also sprained her foot.She didn't make a sound, but endured the pain and repeated the kowtow over and over again, despite her injury getting worse.

"Miss Zhen, you can go back after practicing five more times."

Aunt Zhu's tone was very bad, and Zhen Ruolian was here to anger her today.She challenged her patience over and over again. Now that her patience was exhausted, she ended today's teaching directly.

"Ruolian must practice hard and not let Aunt Zhu down." Zhen Ruolian replied softly as if she didn't hear the impatience and anger in Aunt Zhu's tone.

After Aunt Zhu finished speaking, she took the other two maids and left, but Zhen Ruolian really stayed and practiced five times before getting up and leaving.

Because of kneeling too many times, her legs were sore and numb, she couldn't stand up the first time, and she fell back when she was halfway up.This time, Zhen Ruolian almost burst into tears.She rested for a while before standing up on the ground.

After Zhen Ruolian got up, she didn't stay in the house, she limped out.Looking at the back, there is a feeling of desolation.

Zhen Ruolian looked up at the slightly slanted sun, turned around and walked in one direction.That direction is not the main hall where the Empress Dowager stayed, nor her own residence.

When Zhen Ruolian came to a side hall, she stood in the shadows and hid herself.Then she just looked straight ahead like that, not knowing what she was thinking.

While staying in the shadows, Zhen Ruolian didn't do anything else, the only thing she did was to rub her eyes with a handkerchief from time to time.At this time, her eyes became more and more red and swollen, as if she had cried.

That soft and weak face with those red and swollen eyes is extraordinarily lovable, making one unable to help but want to protect her.

Zhen Ruolian waited for about half an hour, and two figures appeared in front of her eyes.Zhen Ruolian watched the figure appear, and adjusted her clothes to make herself look more embarrassed, but still beautiful.

Then she walked around from the shadows to the other side, took out her handkerchief to cover her face, lowered her head, and limped towards the person coming.

The place Zhen Ruolian chose happened to be in a blind spot. From that person's point of view, she couldn't see the situation in the blind spot at all, and naturally she didn't find anyone in that spot.

When the man was about to pass the blind spot, Zhen Ruolian walked out quickly.The man was caught off guard, Zhen Ruolian was so fast, she didn't dodge at all, and collided with Zhen Ruolian.
