Divine Doctor's Daughter: The Imperial Concubine

Chapter 39 Aunt's Visit
Early the next morning, Chu Ruoying was sitting on the swing in the courtyard looking down at a book when Gu Yu suddenly walked in quickly, "Miss, Mrs. Gu's family is here to see you."

Chu Ruoying was taken aback, and hurriedly got up and said, "Come in, please."

After finishing speaking, Li Xia led Mrs. Gu and the two of them into the room.

"Ying'er met Aunt Gu!" Chu Ruoying immediately handed the book in her hand to Gu Yu, stepped forward, and bowed respectfully to Madam Gu.

A pair of well-maintained hands stretched out in front of her, and a gentle voice rang in her ears, "This is Yinger, get up and let my aunt have a look."

Chu Ruoying raised her head when she heard the sound, and saw Mrs. Gu smiling gently, her eyes full of love and restraint, but she showed everyone's demeanor invisibly.

"Since Ying'er returned to Changxing, she hasn't visited for a long time, and she will go to apologize in person some other day." Chu Ruoying said and wanted to salute again, and Mrs. Gu hurriedly supported her, "Silly boy, you fell into the water just now. , your body is not well yet, how can you move around, sit down quickly."

Mrs. Gu looked at Chu Ruoying carefully, and saw that she was wearing a plain long skirt, her head was slightly bowed, her long jet black hair was loosely pulled up with a green jade hairpin, giving people a calm and peaceful feeling. His gestures are all generous, calm and calm, and a gleam of appreciation can't help but flash in his eyes.

"Ying'er has returned to Changxing now, if there is anything missing, I will send someone to tell my aunt." Mrs. Gu touched her hand and said lovingly.

"Don't worry, Auntie, Yinger won't be bullied." Chu Ruoying said softly with a faint warmth flowing through her heart.

Mrs. Gu saw that although her face was not visible, her eyes were extremely firm, she couldn't help but feel relieved, and gave her some detailed instructions before getting up and leaving.

After seeing off Mrs. Gu, Chu Ruoying had just returned to the house when she saw Gu Yu come in and said, "Miss, Aunt Pei is asking to see you." Chu Ruoying was a little surprised at this scholarly aunt begging to see her, she nodded Said: "Please come in."

After a while, Chu Ruoying was sitting in front of the bamboo window, and Aunt Pei walked in slowly. She was different from the other concubines, dressed in plain clothes, and gave Chu Ruoying a little blessing, "Miss."

A faint sharpness flashed in Chu Ruoying's eyes, she smiled slowly, and said softly, "Auntie Pei behaved generously when she entered the door, she really deserves to be from a scholarly family."

"Miss Meng thinks highly of it, but the concubine is just a helpless aunt." Aunt Pei smiled bitterly, how could someone from the scholarly family come to be a concubine for someone else, but it was all involuntary.

"Oh? Could it be that Aunt Pei is having a bad time in the mansion?" Chu Ruoying poured her a cup of tea for herself, and said casually, "According to what I know, Aunt Pei seems to be quite favored."

Aunt Pei is a very smart woman, so even though Chu Ruoying is just a young lady who has just returned home and has no influence, she still dare not take it lightly. Thinking of Ye Yijun's expression when Chu Ruoying lived in Sheng Junior Court, she felt that A burst of fun.

"Miss, I beg you to help the concubine's daughter." Aunt Pei immediately fell to her knees and said in a low voice.

Surprise flashed across Chu Ruoying's eyes very quickly, but she still said indifferently, "Aunt Pei, you are very well-loved, how can the life of the third sister be difficult?"

Aunt Pei's smile was slightly bitter, "Miss, the concubine has also studied in the early years, so how could she not know that the daughter's marriage in the future will rest on the madam, who was favored a few days ago... the madam sent Come and promise the daughter of the concubine to the steward of the mansion!"

Li Xia immediately frowned, and took a step forward, "Aunt Pei, what are you talking about, my young lady just came to the mansion, what can I do for my aunt, if you have this time, why don't you ask the general."

"That's right, how can I help my aunt now, let alone...why should I go into this muddy water?" Chu Ruoying stared at her and said calmly.

Aunt Pei's biting lips turned slightly white. How could she not know these truths, but so what if she knew, "Miss, the concubine does not ask for anything else. If the young lady can help the concubine's daughter, if the young lady can help the concubine's daughter in the future. If there is a need, the servant girl will definitely do her best to thank the eldest lady for her great kindness."

"This…"

Aunt Pei had faint tears in her eyes, "Over the years, the concubine has lost a child, and now there is only one daughter. I hope that the eldest lady can help the concubine."

Chu Ruoying sighed softly, and nodded to Li Xia, who took a step forward and helped Pei Xue to sit on a chair beside her.

"Miss, you must help the concubine, the concubine has been in the mansion for many years, and she can also help the young lady to bring down the madam!" Aunt Pei just sat down, then got up and knelt down and said.

"Aunt Pei, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately!" Chu Ruoying suddenly looked at him, the cold look in her eyes made Aunt Pei tremble slightly.

"Aunt Pei is really kind. You are so openly trying to provoke my relationship with my wife, and let me compete with my wife, so you can benefit from it!" Chu Ruoying smiled faintly, and her voice sounded slowly.

Aunt Pei was shocked when she heard the words, she froze on the spot and didn't speak, she just lowered her body a bit lower.

"Miss forgive me, the concubine didn't mean that."

"Aunt Pei, let's go, it's getting late, lunch should have been sent to each courtyard, I won't keep you for lunch!" Chu Ruoying had a faint smile on her lips, but the coldness in her eyes What's more, he turned and left.

"Miss!" Aunt Pei was anxious, she stood up and was about to follow, but Li Xia stepped in front of her, "Aunt, Miss is going to rest."

Standing in the imperial garden, Chu Ruoying sighed faintly, but it has been more than a month since she came back, so this is the second time she has entered the palace.

"Mammy has been in the palace for so long, where are we now?" Chu Ruoying walked with the mammy in the palace, looking at the similar scenery with minor differences, she deeply felt that it would be a bad idea to get lost in the palace. end.

"Report to Ms. Chu, it is now on the east side of the imperial garden. Walk straight ahead and you will reach the Tongzheng Palace." The nanny who answered clasped her hands and spoke clearly.

Chu Ruoying nodded when she heard the words, waved her hands to make the nanny back, and led Lixia and the three of them towards the Huxin Pavilion not far away.

Suddenly a small voice came from her ear, Chu Ruoying stopped her footsteps, and a cold light flashed in her lowered eyes.

He walked slowly to the lake pavilion in the imperial garden, found a corner and sat down quietly, and the other women were also sitting there in twos and threes.

"I heard that the princess of Beiliang is here for Prince Jin." A woman looked around cautiously and said in a low voice.

"I heard that Princess Beiliang is an alluring beauty, and she has outstanding dancing skills." A woman also echoed.

"What about Miss Chu's family?"

"What else can I do, she is a princess after all, so of course she is on an equal footing."

"It's really pitiful."

Sitting in the corner, Chu Ruoying was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, then shook her head and smiled faintly, how did she become a person who was sympathized with.

"Where is Miss Chu? Concubine Ye summoned me." An old nanny appeared on the lake pavilion, looked around, and said loudly.

Chu Ruoying slowly stood up, "My daughter is here."

Everyone in the Huxin Pavilion was shocked. They looked at the person who stood up from the corner in surprise. They saw her ice-blue dress with large lotus petals embroidered on it. Her eyes were as plain as autumn water. Bo, a few hairpins are simply inserted in the hair, giving people a sense of indifference and elegance.

"Then Eldest Miss Chu will go with this old slave." Nanny Gui said respectfully.

"Please trouble Mammy." Chu Ruoying nodded in response, smiled slightly, and said gently.

Not long after, Chu Ruoying arrived at Concubine Ye's Bingquan Palace. Chu Ruoying walked into the hall and saw Concubine Ye sitting on the main seat, with Chu Xiner sitting next to her.

Chu Ruoying understood, and stepped forward to bless her body respectfully, "My daughter, Chu Ruoying, has seen Concubine Ye."

"Xin'er, did you just say that you have something good?" Concubine Ye raised her eyes lazily and asked indifferently.

"Back to your mother, my mother found some gold-painted Danko a few days ago, thinking that my mother will like it, so I let Xin'er bring it in this time." Chu Xiner said mockingly and looked at her body still blissful Chu Ruoying said in a respectful tone.

"Oh? Elder sister has a heart, so let's take a look." Concubine Ye gave Chu Xin'er a serious look.

"Your Majesty, it's fine as long as you use it." Mrs. Ye sat at the side, sipping tea, and said gently.

Chu Ruoying leaned forward, listening to the two people's gossip, there was a flash of coldness in her eyes, she stood up straight and said, "Mrs. Ye is well."

Concubine Ye gave her a cold look, and Madam Ye immediately responded, "Ying'er, how could you get up without authorization?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me." Chu Ruoying lowered her head in fear, "I think that Concubine Ye is usually gentle and virtuous, if I keep saluting and can't get up, rumors will spread that it will be detrimental to Concubine Ye voice, and then got up without authorization."

Concubine Ye's eyes darkened when she heard the words, and she said in a deep voice, "Miss Chu is well-informed and reasonable."

"I also ask your mother to forgive me." Chu Ruoying still spoke in fear, but secretly sneered in her heart.

"It's because I forgot the time while chatting, which made Miss Chu wait for a long time. What's wrong with Miss Chu?" Concubine Ye narrowed her eyes slightly, and glanced at her lightly.

"Gui Momo, why don't you remind me, I'm really not good at doing things anymore." Concubine Ye's expression darkened immediately, and she said coldly.

"Your Majesty, forgive me, it's because the slaves are confused." Nanny Gui immediately stepped forward to apologize.

Only then did Concubine Ye say to Chu Ruoying: "I'm sorry for making Miss Chu wait for a long time." As she spoke, she picked up a kit from the small table beside her, and Chu Ruoying waved her hand, The brocade pouch was placed in Chu Ruoying's hands, "This brocade pouch was newly made in the palace today, and it looks joyful, so I'll give it to you."

Chu Ruoying held the kit and said with a blessing, "Thank you, Ma'am."

"Go." Concubine Ye waved her hand impatiently this time, and winked at the girl beside her.

The girl stepped forward quickly and said, "Miss Chu please."
