married daughter

Chapter 341 Divided?

The queen mother's words are obviously a bit far-fetched, don't say that she rarely takes the initiative to announce the girls of other families into the palace, even if she announces, she is released before the curfew, and few stay overnight, not to mention Ruan Yunting is now wearing white sparrow feathers The cloak is obviously a dress for going out.If he stayed in Ci'an Palace, he wouldn't be so well-dressed, so he just came back from outside.

With so many suspicious points, the emperor and others are all human beings, how could they not see it?But since the queen mother said so, the emperor would not go into it. Turning around, his sharp eyes swept over the people in the house: "How can you get out of trouble? These dog slaves are getting more and more ignorant, and they are living impatiently." Already!"

"The emperor calm down!" The palace people were terrified, they all knelt down and kowtowed.

The people in Ci'an Palace were all trained by the Empress Dowager, how can they be replaced?Even though she was full of anger and wished to hand over Ruan Yunting who had burned her Merlin to the emperor immediately, but if she explained it, there was no guarantee that little fox Meizi would not tell about her being imprisoned in Merlin.At that time, I will not end up well.

It's better to go like this.I'm not afraid that I won't find a chance to deal with her in the future,
The Empress Dowager just felt suffocated and had no way to vent. She wanted to make Ruan Yunting feel bad for being dumb, but now she was making herself feel bad, and she wanted to show a smile in front of the emperor:

"That's all, emperor, they made a fuss, but the lantern in the Merlin was blown up by the wind, and some smoke came out, and the little palace maid was frightened. Little things made noise with bells and drums, which alarmed the palace guards, but Thinking about it carefully, they are also loyal to mourning their family, it is better for the emperor not to punish them severely."

When the emperor saw what the empress dowager said, he naturally would not disobey his mother's intentions, and said with a smile, "Since the empress dowager said so, the son will obey. It's getting late, you should rest early."

The emperor and the three concubines bowed to the queen mother together and were about to step down.

The Empress Dowager understood that she couldn't touch Ruan Yunting today, and she was still an eyesore in the Palace of Ci'an, so she smiled lovingly and said, "Madam Ruan and Concubine Wangui are getting better, and it's rare for you sisters to see each other again." On the one hand, how about Concubine Wan Gui to help Ai's family take care of her for one night?"

Xu Xiangwan was worried about Ruan Yunting and was unable to ask for someone, so he naturally responded happily when he heard this.

Ruan Yunting smiled and saluted the Queen Mother: "Thank you Queen Mother for your compassion, and my daughter-in-law will retire."

"Go, go." The queen mother also smiled very kindly and gently, only she herself knew how much sullen she was holding back.

Ruan Yunting followed the emperor and his party to leave Ci'an Palace. When they arrived at the fork in the road, the emperor glanced at Ruan Yunting with a half-smile, and then smiled softly at Xu Xiangwan: "Wan'er, you have worked hard today."

"The emperor is serious." Xu Xiangwan caressed his five-month-old belly, smiling softly, with tenderness in his eyes, and he did not hide his love and dependence on the emperor at all.

Not to mention the emperor, even Ruan Yunting, a woman, saw her appearance, and really wished she could not leave her side.The emperor looked at her, feeling that he was going to hurt her to the bone, his eyes became more and more gentle.

Concubine Lu Gui and Xu Ningmeng both smiled on their exquisitely made-up faces, and said in unison:

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, and it's time for Sister Wan to go back to the palace to rest."

"Yes, her body is important." Lu Guifei looked at the emperor affectionately, and said: "The concubine specially prepared pigeon soup, which is most beneficial to the body. May the emperor use some?"

Lu's family just had a funeral, so the emperor naturally didn't want to take Concubine Lu's face off, so he nodded in agreement and left with Concubine Lu.

When the people walked away, Xu Ningmeng restrained her smile, and looked at Ruan Yunting inquisitively: "Ting'er, what happened in the Empress Dowager's palace today?"

Ruan Yunting smiled calmly: "What the Queen Mother said just now is just like what the Queen Mother just said, it's just the little palace maid making a fuss."

"Oh? Really?" Xu Ningmeng obviously didn't believe it.

"Really, does the imperial concubine doubt the queen mother's words?" Ruan Yunting smiled and blinked her big eyes, looking very innocent.

Of course Xu Ningmeng doubted it, but she dared not admit that she doubted it.She didn't expect that Ruan Yunting would hide it from her, let alone that Ruan Yunting would show her alienation so clearly.

In fact, Ruan Yunting did have this intention. Since the day Xu Ningmeng killed Xu Xiangwan, she had no choice but to stand by Xu Xiangwan's side.

Xu Ningmeng stared at Ruan Yunting coldly, her eyes seemed to want to eat people.Ruan Yunting stood pretty, neither humble nor overbearing, without any fear.

"Okay, very good." After a long time, Xu Ningmeng realized that her usual deterrent methods had no effect on Ruan Yunting, so she snorted and angrily led her away.

Ruan Yunting breathed a sigh of relief, and exchanged a glance with Xu Xiangwan: "It's really hard for you to stay in the palace and face these people."

"Where is this going? I'm used to it." Xu Xiangwan took Ruan Yunting's hand: "Let's go, follow me back."

"Ah."

The two returned to Yueling Palace all the way, Ruan Yunting came in, first ordered hot tea and snacks to eat, and while eating, told Xu Xiangwan exactly what happened in Ci'an Palace just now.

Xu Xiangwan cursed angrily: "Old bitch!"

Ruan Yunting hurriedly covered her mouth: "You are crazy, you have ears through the walls." She was very surprised that Xu Xiangwan would scold the queen mother because of her.

"Thanks to your cleverness, knowing how to set fire to lure people to save you, and thanks to the emperor being a dutiful son, he rushed there when he heard the sound, otherwise you would not have been tortured to death by that old bitch? If you don't die, you will lose half your life!"

"That's not necessarily the case." Ruan Yunting wiped her mouth and said, "Anyway, there is the Xu family behind me, and it would be difficult for the queen mother to touch me, otherwise she would have left me in Ci'an Palace today. "

Xu Xiangwan nodded, and said: "You have to be careful, she is definitely not a kind person." With complicated eyes and a contemptuous smile: "In this deep palace full of filth, how can there be a few people with clean hands all the time? What's more, she... hey, don't say anything." Xu Xiangwan swallowed the rest of the words.

Ruan Yunting was puzzled, leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "What about her?"

Xu Xiangwan pursed his lips and looked at Ruan Yunting, as if he was thinking about something, before he sighed for a long time and said, "Ting'er, it's better not to know about these things. I saw it by chance, but I don't know if it's my luck or I woe to you."

Ruan Yunting blinked at Xu Xiangwan in confusion, wondering what she knew.Could this be about the Queen Mother?Otherwise, Xu Xiangwan wouldn't have called the queen mother a "bitch" without opening her mouth.

Although Ruan Yunting was puzzled, she didn't ask any more questions. She understood that it was better not to know some things.Although she experienced some twists and turns today, at least she didn't freeze to death overnight in Merlin.As for making the Empress Dowager unhappy, there was nothing she could do. Anyway, she rested here with Xu Xiangwan, and her safety tonight could be guaranteed.

Lying on the soft bed smoked with a touch of calming incense, Ruan Yunting calmed down, and it was the first time that she felt the Xu family's support and protection so clearly for the first time.With the Xu family around, the Lu family would not treat her any differently.Today, she was able to be sure that she was fine in front of the queen mother because of the support of the Xu family.The old lady is the granddaughter of Princess Zhenning, the second master Xu is a hero with military exploits, and the Xu family is prosperous, and there are two favorite concubines in the palace...

Sighing, closing her eyes, Ruan Yunting was thinking before falling asleep that she hated some people in Xu's family so much, and sometimes hated the old lady who always put the family first regardless of her interests, but until now, she didn't Is it also relying on the strength of the family to survive?This truth is actually not difficult to understand, there are no eggs under an overturned nest, only the Xu family is safe, and she is safe.

After a good night's sleep, leaving the palace early the next morning, Ruan Yunting went directly to the academy to go to school, and when she returned to Xu's mansion after school in the afternoon, she found that the atmosphere in the mansion was not quite right.

Returning to Jingsi Garden to change clothes, Chanjuan combed her hair, "Girl stayed in the Empress Dowager's Palace yesterday, and the news spread in the house, let's go out today, those little hooves are more polite to me and Hongdou."

Ruan Yunting smiled, "Who asked you this, I mean, on the way back just now, all the servants shrank their hands and feet and kept silent. Could it be that something happened?"

Hong Dou held the brass washbasin and put it lightly on the wooden washbasin shelf, took a face towel to wipe her hands, and said: "The girl is going to return to you even if you don't ask the servant girl. Many people in the house are rumoring that the third master and The third wife is going to ask the old lady to separate the family today."

"Separation?" Ruan Yunting picked out the hands of the head, and said in surprise: "It's so good, why do you want to mention the separation?" The third master's pedantic temperament, although he is not as good as the elder master and the second master, at any rate He is also a scholar who is full of economics and pays attention to filial piety. How can the family be separated when the old lady is still alive?

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Chanjuan also opened up the chatter box, and said in a low voice: "Girl, I heard that the third wife messed up this matter, because what magic doctor Shui did to her made her speechless for a whole day. After saying that, I went back to the old lady to complain, but the old lady not only did not punish the water genius doctor, but also reprimanded her. The third master loved the third wife, so he went to argue with the old lady. , let’s talk about the separation.”

The rumors among the servants are not groundless, but they can't be completely believed. Ruan Yunting stood up and said, "Go and get my jade-colored cotton cloak. I will go to the Jingsi Garden to greet the old lady."

"Yes."

Chanjuan and Hongdou make arrangements for Ruan Yunting, Chanjuan stays with Zhao Linmu's family to prepare dinner, while Hongdou goes to Pine Age Hall with Ruan Yunting.

The garden of Songlingtang was very quiet, only Han Bin's family and Huamei stood on the porch, one on the left and one on the right, seeing Ruan Yunting coming, a smile appeared on the distressed faces of Han Bin's family, and greeted them: "The girl is back. Did you go well in the palace yesterday?"

"Everything is fine, how is the old ancestor?"

"The water god's medicine has cured her illness, the old lady is already well, but..."

Before the words of Han Bin's family finished, they heard an angry reprimand from the room: "Okay, okay, since you said that, you get out!"
