Chapter 241 (1/2)
Xue ronghua was stunned. These days she had been thinking about how to deal with Meng Qianzhong who was suspicious, but she left Su Rushuang, who was demoted to the imperial concubine, behind her.
Luo Ninghai snorted softly. ”The palace is really busy looking at you. Even Su Rushuang doesn't care.”
”Empress, forgive me.” Xue ronghua bit his lips. ”After waiting for the empress to meet the new imperial concubine, I went to inquire about Huayang palace immediately.”
”You still have to give the palace a snack.” Luo Ninghai pursed her crimson lips. ”Su Rushuang can't wait any longer. Just wait for the day when her building falls.”
”Yes. The maidservant will certainly help her.”
”It's not just Su Rushuang who is strange. The emperor is not right these days.” Luo Ninghai showed a suspicious expression. ”He always asked the palace about the former queen recently. The palace always thought it was over. But he always mentioned it.”
Xue ronghua turned his eyes. ”The maidservant is from the state of Qin. I don't know much about the former queen.”
”It's very clear to see you in the palace, but in fact the palace also knows.” Luo Ninghai smiled coldly on his lips. ”The emperor still has mu Langhua in his heart. It can be said that there is no place for mu Langhua and Su Rushuang in his heart.”
”Empress...”
Luo Ninghai gracefully arranges the embroidered cuffs. ”But in the deep palace courtyard, your heart is cold and thin like the autumn wind. What the palace is looking forward to is never a romantic flower, snow and moon. As long as you hold the Phoenix seal in your hand, it is the most real.”
Xue ronghua said softly with a smile, ”both slaves and maidens understand. Just rest assured. You can get what you want.”
Outside, a maid in waiting came and spread a message saying, ”Jin Cairen and Yi Cairen have come.”
Luo Ninghai gave a ”um” sound and said, ”what about the good beauty? Hasn't she come yet?”
The maid shook her head and said, ”I don't see a good beauty. Maybe I won't come until later.”
Luo Ninghai looked back at Xue ronghua. He hung his head in the mirror and straightened his hair bun. His lips were full of ridicule. ”Does the good beauty want to take the opportunity of being late to attract the attention of the palace again? It's boring to repeat this trick.”
Xue ronghua thought for a moment and said, ”the good beauty was late in front of the emperor because she didn't sleep well after drinking medicine. This time, I don't know if it's because of her health.”
”Don't you think she looks good? She doesn't look like a weak person. How can she get sick when she says hello,” Luo Ninghai frowned. ”What the palace wants is a woman who can open branches and leaves for the royal family, not a medicine pot.”
”When I went to see the beauty that day, I saw that she was very respectful and quiet and easygoing. She didn't look like a person who dared to defy the palace rules,” Xue ronghua said with a smile. ”Please don't worry, madam. A good beauty will come.”
Luo Ninghai glanced at her strangely, ”you seem to appreciate her very much. Isn't she from the state of Qin?”
”How could the beauty be from the state of Qin,” Xue ronghua smiled, ”but the maidservant thought she was more reliable than the other two.”
”Why?”
Xue ronghua showed an unfathomable expression, ”my mother will know later.”
When song Erhuai stumbled to the main hall of Zhongcui palace with his skirt, he had already seen jincairen and yicairen waiting in their seats, holding their breath, and hurriedly asked them to say hello.
Huang Ling quickly looked at her whole dress. It seems that the German imperial concubine values her more. The good beauty's clothes are not as good as the female officials around her German imperial concubine. Bai shouldered the title.
Ding Yuyan stood up with a smile and asked her to sit down beside her. While holding her hand, she asked enthusiastically, ”how did the beauty come at this time? Fortunately, the German imperial concubine hasn't come out yet, otherwise it would be a loss of etiquette.”
Song Erhuai looked at her gratefully and explained, ”when I went out this morning, the sedan chair broke down. I waited for a long time before I came, so I was late.”
Huang Ling seized the opportunity, raised her eyebrows and asked, ”my sister doesn't live in Yanyi palace. Is there only a sedan chair in the palace?”
Song Erhuai blushed and whispered, ”I'm just a beauty. Only a sedan chair can be used.”
”So it is. I thought all talented people and beauties had two sedan chairs,” Huang Ling said suddenly. ”Oh, it's because I have a bad memory. I forgot that there was only one. Shen Jieyu gave it to me this morning.”
This is another talented person showing off that he can share the palace with Jieyu. Ding Yuyan sneered a few times in her heart and asked, ”the clothes on my sister are given by the German imperial concubine.”
Song Erhuai quickly nodded, ”I think today is to greet the German imperial concubine and come here specially wearing the satin given by her mother.”
”My sister's heart is good, but we should also pay attention to the palace rules,” Ding YuYan's fingers slowly across her dark green clothes, ”how can a new imperial concubine come into the palace to greet the empress? Wearing such a thick color should be the most suitable light.”
Song Erhuai looked blankly at the water red palace clothes on Yi Cairen and the honey color palace clothes on Jin Cairen. Only then did he know that he had broken the rules. He lowered his eyes and whispered, ”I... I didn't pay attention at once. I think the German imperial concubine has always been generous and tolerant. I shouldn't blame me.”
Huang Ling covered her mouth and said with a smile: ”those who don't know are innocent. My mother will forgive you for her magnanimity. But my sister must remember the rules taught by Mammy. If other mothers catch the pigtail, she will copy the palace rules again.”
Song Erhuai hung his head in shame. ”Thank you for your advice. I will remember it in the future.”
