Splendid concubine

Chapter 174 Inner Universe
But in reality, it's not that simple.

Liu Ruyi carefully considered it based on her experience in her previous life.

Wei Ziruo, the daughter of the daughter of Wei Guanlan, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, is a gentle and soft-spoken girl with outstanding talent, and everyone in the capital knows it.

However, she and Li Jiaojiao, the daughter of Li Chaji, the censor doctor, are life and death friends. Although there is no friendship on the surface, Li Jiaojiao was saved by Wei Ziruo. Naturally, she took good care of Wei Ziruo. I lost my mother since I was a child, my father never remarried, the back house is huge, and some uncles are restless and always want to meddle in their family affairs.

But this Li Jiaojiao insisted on protecting her younger siblings under such a dangerous environment, and kept the back house in order. On the surface, Wei Ziruo had nothing to do with Li Jiaojiao, but this Wei Ziruo grew up in the countryside.

One year, after Li Jiaojiao lost her mother, she was taken by her uncle's family to play on the mountain. The uncle's family intentionally framed her and "lost" Li Jiaojiao. In the twelfth lunar month, Li Jiaojiao froze on the mountain and was about to die. Wei Ziruo brought her back The family was saved.

Therefore, although the two of them seem to have no contact on the surface, they only walk around a little because of their father during the Chinese New Year and holidays, but in fact, every time Li Jiaojiao celebrates the New Year, on the surface, they are the same as other people's houses. But very different.

It seems that the two of them didn't move around because Li Jiaojiao felt that her family was dangerous and she was afraid of causing trouble to Wei Ziruo.

If she hadn't known about the two of them in her previous life, Liu Ruyi wouldn't have dared to make this risky move.

In her previous life, Wei Ziruo was first engaged to marry the son of an old minister's family as his wife, then Li Jiaojiao made a doomed death for the other son of the old minister's family, and Wei Ziruo would be his sister-in-law, because at that time there was only one son left in the old minister's family. , I have no choice but to give birth to two sons.

From the moment Li Jiaojiao entered the house, the two sons began to fight with their wives. What Liu Ruyi knew was that Li Jiaojiao finally killed her husband because of Wei Ziruo.

This feeling is deep enough.

Princess Dingguo's character must have displeased Wei Ziruo in every possible way. The two had some friction before, but it was not too conspicuous. After all, there are too many people who have friction with Princess Dingguo.

But Wei Ziruo is different. Wei Ziruo is sensitive and suspicious, and he is more narrow-minded. He and Dingguo Princess serve the prince together, so there will naturally be conflicts. At this time, it is time to use Li Jiaojiao. How could Li Jiaojiao be in the same mansion? Watching Wei Ziruo get angry.

Li Jiaojiao's methods are naturally accurate when dealing with Princess Dingguo. In this way, through Li Jiaojiao's hand, she can take revenge on Princess Dingguo, and at the same time make the Crown Prince's mansion look good on the outside, but inwardly in danger.

After listening to Liu Ruyi's logic is not smooth, very excited explanation, the second prince, the emperor and the little princess all clapped their hands and applauded.

Liu Ruyi didn't say how she knew that the two of them had a life-saving friendship, let alone how she knew that the two of them would definitely help her to act like this. However, the few people in front of her trusted her so much, which still moved her a little. In a hurry, after coaxing the little princess, Liu Ruyi went to the emperor's tent to help, but she never explained why.

The change of the little princess is even more exaggerated now.

"Ruyi, you're amazing, you're great." He kept praising Miss, making Liu Ruyi blush.

After announcing the prince's marriage news, many girls had no hope, sighed deeply, and continued to work hard in the backyard of other princes.

The bonfire party continued in the evening, and after a while, Liu Wanwan, who had been missing since arriving at the hunting ground, came over in a hurry.

Liu Wanwan sat down next to Liu Ruyi.Liu Ruyi was the one who annoyed her, she would cry when she had nothing to do, and she would feel bad when she looked at it, so she frowned and asked her, "What are you going to do?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Liu Ruyi asked, Liu Wanwan burst into tears.

"Second sister, you must help me. I am your own sister. Now my third cousin and I are having a hard time. We have not had a bite of meat for many days, and we don't even have new clothes." Liu Wanwan said Just made Liu Ruyi laugh.

"You can't eat meat and you've worked hard, so what are you wearing? I remember that you didn't bring anything with you when you left home." Liu Ruyi stared at the clothes on Liu Wanwan, who was wearing a pink riding outfit , It matches Liu Wanwan's temperament, very beautiful.

"This..." Liu Wanwan didn't expect Liu Ruyi to say this, and choked.

"Second sister, do you just look at my sister and I living in such a miserable life? The third cousin is a relative of our family anyway, so you just have the heart to watch. Is the third cousin's family down and out? Now everywhere in the capital, three people are excluded. Cousin, the life of the third cousin is very unhappy, second sister, you and the emperor love each other like father and daughter, can you discuss it in a friendly way and send the third cousin to other places?" Liu Wanwan looked at Liu expectantly As one wishes.

"What are you doing out of town?" Liu Ruyi found it interesting, put down the things in her hands, and looked at Liu Wanwan seriously.

Liu Wanwan probably also felt that what she said was a little awkward, so she laughed, "Of course I was sent to another place as an official."

"You think it's very beautiful. Do you know that your third cousin is still white and has no qualifications to be an official, and wants to be directly sent to other places to be an official? Liu Wanwan, you think too well!" Liu Ruyi Looking at Liu Wanwan mockingly, Liu Wanwan forgot to cry, and stared blankly at Liu Ruyi.

"You probably stayed there for a long time. You don't know what's going on outside. You just believe what others say. The Zhao family just has a bad reputation. People who made mistakes went to the prison, but the shop is still there. His family's business has nothing to do with the shop, he still has money to spend, he can afford meat and clothes." Liu Wanwan was stunned when she heard that, she was different from vulgar things, she didn't know these things at all.

I only know that there are more dishes on the table and less meat.

"But the dinner table has too much food and little meat, I'm not used to it, Second Sister, I've lost weight these days." Liu Wanwan was stunned for a moment, and said.

"You're laughing at me to death. It's the twelfth lunar month. It's winter. Meat is everywhere, but vegetables are not. If you can afford vegetables, it seems that you are living a good life. You must know that those vegetables are only a few in the suburbs of Beijing. It can only be produced in a greenhouse, and the price of vegetables is much more expensive than the price of meat." Liu Ruyi was stunned by Liu Wanwan's words as soon as she opened her mouth, and she didn't know what to say.

"Tell me, who sent you here?" Liu Ruyi had lost her patience, turning the wooden stick in her hand to roast the rabbit.

Liu Wanwan looked at Liu Ruyi in surprise, probably wondering why the young lady's guess was so accurate, and said hesitantly, "I wanted to come, and I voluntarily."

"I knew it when you said that. You must have been coaxed to come here?"

Liu Wanwan didn't speak anymore, she just sat there crying, Liu Ruyi felt heartbroken seeing her crying.

"Second Sister, I was wrong, you go and beg father for mercy, let me go home." Liu Wanwan cried for a long time, causing one of Liu Ruyi's rabbits to be cooked and shared with the people next to her.

"It's not good to know now, because of your third cousin, you offended all the sisters, how do you figure it out now?" Liu Ruyi tilted her head and looked at Liu Wanwan.Could it be that this silly girl is no longer infatuated?

Liu Wanwan glanced left and right, lowered her head and shed tears, and stopped talking. Liu Ruyi continued, "Isn't it that the third cousin dismissed all the housemates and concubines for you? What else are you dissatisfied with?"

"This is all nonsense and lies. There are more than 30 concubines." Liu Wanwan shouted excitedly. Fortunately, her voice was still low, otherwise more people would have attracted to watch.

"There's a new batch, and there's another batch." Liu Wanwan's tears kept falling like broken beads.

"I guess so. I had a hard time persuading you not to listen to the persuasion. I'll find a chance to see what my father has to say!" Liu Ruyi felt a little sympathetic to Liu Wanwan, that's all she could do.

After finishing speaking, he ignored Liu Wanwan and greeted the little princess, Liu Jiaren, and sat down with Gao Wenwen to play cards.

Liu Ruyi was not very good at playing poker before, the little princess had never been in contact with it, Liu Jiaren had played it, but it was also a stinky card basket, and Gao Wenwen had never seen it before. Those who wanted to please them sat in a circle and kept pointing fingers, but they made mistakes repeatedly and kept laughing.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Liu Wanwan sat for a long time, looking for boredom, tidied up her clothes, and left, thinking anxiously in her heart that the third cousin's task was not completed, and she didn't know how to dislike it when she went back. scolded her.

The day of hunting in the hunting ground was brought forward because of the Queen Mother and the tiger. Early in the morning of the third day, the emperor announced his return to Beijing.

Fortunately, Liu Ruyi gave her instructions to take care of those things, so she didn't rush around.

Liu Wanwan returned to the mansion, and they all told each other that the maids in the Prime Minister's mansion liked to chew their tongues, and finally saw the excitement, and there was no reason to let it go, even those rough envoys who washed clothes and chopped firewood also threw away live, ran over to watch the fun.

Seeing so many people gathered around, Liu Wanwan became more and more thick-skinned, and when she saw the crowd, she yelled: "Old lady, I really regret it, please help me, old lady. Help my third cousin Bar!"

The old lady thought she was ashamed, so she asked Su Su to open the curtain and tell her to come in.

Liu Wanwan refused, and insisted on kneeling outside, expressing her filial piety. The old lady became angry when she heard this, "She is willing to kneel outside and beg for help, so let her kneel outside, anyway, it is not I am ashamed, what is wrong with it, one or two are willing to kneel at the gate of the yard to be ashamed."

Liu Mengxue sneered, didn't she often kneel at the gate of the yard before.

Seeing that the old lady told her to go in, Liu Wanwan felt that she had a good idea and was a little proud, remembering what the eldest son said, she cried even more.
