Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1213 Advice
Originally, he planned to come back to sort out the internal affairs, especially to deal with some matters left behind after he left, and then go to visit Tao Wanyin. But after hearing what Chu Ruoyan said, Shang Ruyi realized that he could not wait any longer. Besides, Yuwen Ye specifically mentioned this matter last night - Tao Wanyin and Eunuch Yu were the only two people they had some friendship with in the harem, but now Eunuch Yu was old, and many affairs were assigned to the eunuch Liu Yu.

Therefore, for some things, they need to rely more on the concubines in the harem.

But if Tao Wanyin fell out of favor and Zhang Yuping monopolized the favor, they would have even fewer opportunities to speak in front of the emperor in the future.

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi changed her clothes immediately after sending Chu Ruoyan away, and went to the harem with Tu Sheer. Looking at the surrounding scenery along the way, after several months of absence, there were not many changes, but in the cold winter, the decadent feeling of withered branches and yellow leaves made people feel sad.

Perhaps, Tao Wanyin couldn't let it go for a long time because of this.

After a while, they arrived at Shicui Palace, and sure enough, the palace gate was closed. Tusheer went forward and knocked on the door as if he was familiar with the place. After a while, footsteps were heard from inside, and then the gate opened.

A familiar face appeared from the crack of the door. It was Tao Wanyin's personal maid Qiao Shu.

She was not surprised to see Tushe'er. It seemed that the two of them had become familiar with each other these days. She just said, "She'er, why are you here again? Our Concubine is - the Princess of Qin today?"

Seeing the Princess of Qin behind Tushe'er, Na Qiaoshu was stunned for a moment, then immediately took a step back and saluted her: "Your servant greets the Princess."

Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "I'm back and want to meet your concubine."

Qiao Shu showed an embarrassment on her face, and said softly: "Princess, please forgive me, our Concubine... I really can't get up, and I don't want to see anyone. The emperor came here before, but we didn't meet him."

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi frowned slightly.

It seems that Tao Wanyin was really hurt, both physically and mentally. Otherwise, with her intelligence and insight, she should understand that if she did not respect the emperor and only cared about her own emotions while in the harem, there would be no benefits, and her future would be more difficult.

Shang Ruyi thought about it and winked at Tusheer, who immediately handed over the box of snacks in his hand.

Shang Ruyi said, "Since your Concubine doesn't want to see anyone, I won't force her. The snacks here are made by Madam Chu herself and they taste good. Please bring them to your Concubine to try, so that she can whet her appetite and be happy."

Qiao Shu quickly took it and thanked him.

Shang Ruyi added: "I have another message for you, Concubine Jieyu - a good road can be walked smoothly; a muddy road requires stumbling. But no matter what, if you stay where you are, you will never reach the end. She shouldn't be like this."

These words made Qiao Shu slightly startled, and his eyes lit up.

Shang Ruyi said: "I'm sorry."

After saying that, he turned around and left with Tusheer. After a long time, the sound of the palace door closing gently was heard behind them.

As Tushe'er walked away, he looked back reluctantly and said to Shang Ruyi, "Princess, can Concubine Tao understand what the princess meant?"

Shang Ruyi smiled and glanced at her: "Do you understand?"

Tusheer immediately said, "Of course, how could I not understand. What the princess meant was that she couldn't always be so sad about the past. The past is the past, but if she keeps being sad, she will be even sadder in the future."

"...!"

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi was a little surprised and stopped to look at her, then smiled and said, "Not bad, even you have improved after not seeing each other for a few months."

Tushe'er originally laughed smugly, but after a while she came to her senses and said, "The princess is scolding me!"

Shang Ruyi laughed and said, "Although you are smart and quick-witted, you couldn't say such clear words before. Who taught you?" Tushe'er pouted and said unhappily, "Do I need someone to teach me how to speak?"

Shang Ruyi still smiled.

The master and servant walked forward for a while before Tusheer said, "It was Changwan. Every time she came back from my uncle's house, she would tell me those things. They were roundabout and sour. I didn't want to listen at first, but after listening for a while, I found them quite interesting."

"Oh."

Shang Ruyi then remembered that she had left one thing behind before she left, which was Sun Xianyue from Shen Shiyan's family.

This person who had almost ruined her reputation and made Xiao Yuanqian suffer, she sent him to the Shen Mansion to be taken care of by his uncle and aunt, and asked Changwan to go out of the palace to visit him every once in a while. She didn't know how he was doing now. So she asked, "By the way, how is Sun Xianyue now?"

Speaking of this, Tusheer sighed: "The person can already move, but——"

"But what?"

"I heard from Chang Wan that her injured leg can't allow her to travel far, nor can she practice martial arts or dance."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi frowned.

If he can’t practice martial arts or dancing, it almost means that Sun Xianyue is useless.

He had learned sword dancing from Pei Yunshen, and his sword dancing was light and agile. But because of that unexpected disaster, his leg was broken. Now, even if he recovers from his injury, he can no longer practice dancing... This is such a pity.

Shang Ruyi sighed: "After all, it was us who implicated him."

Tushe'er didn't say anything. Although she sympathized with Sun Xianyue, she felt that Shang Ruyi shouldn't be held responsible for the consequences of his own decision. After thinking for a while, she said, "Princess, you don't have to feel guilty for him. I don't think he's too sad. I heard from Changwan that he's living well in the Shen family. His uncle and madam are kind to him. Every day, apart from recuperating from his injuries, he reads books. After reading, he tells Changwan a lot of great truths, and Changwan tells me again when she comes back. Oh, my ears are callused from listening to him."

Hearing her words, Shang Ruyi couldn't help laughing and said, "Well, then I have to find a day to go back and take a look."

As he spoke, he looked up at the sky and said, "He is a free and easy person and shouldn't be involved in this quagmire of the court. It would be better for him to leave as soon as possible."

Tusheer nodded and said, "That's right. When the princess goes back, I will accompany you."

Shang Ruyi glared at her and said, "You want to go out and play, right?"

"hey-hey."

"Well, after I finish dealing with the affairs in the palace, I will tell His Highness in two days. After all, the Ministry of Rites is still selecting a mansion for us to settle down in the Prince of Qin's mansion. By that time, I can go back to visit my uncle and aunt anytime, without having to go through the trouble of asking for permission."

Upon hearing this, Tusheer clapped his hands happily: "This is great!"

Shang Ruyi smiled and shook her head, then couldn't help but look back. Under the gray sky, the quiet palace was lifeless and lively. She wondered if Tao Wanyin heard what she said now.

Can she understand...
