Splendid concubine

Chapter 20 Care
In the Emerald Pavilion, Mrs. Zhao was lying on the bed, she was bored looking at the top of the bed, she was waiting for good news from Liu Xuanshuang!
At this time, she heard the servant girl come over and say: "Madam, the eldest lady is here! But it's already very late, do you want to let her in?"

"Of course she's my daughter! Let her in!"

After Liu Xuanshuang came in, she looked unhappy.

"Shuang'er, isn't tonight's dinner going well?" Zhao's heart skipped a beat!Impossible, my daughter is so good, there must be no surprises!

Liu Xuanshuang looked at Mrs. Zhao aggrieved, and she said slowly: "Yes, mother."

"Not only did I not steal the show tonight. I kept making a fool of myself."

"No, it's impossible, who made you look ugly, you tell me."

"It's Liu Ruyi."

"How can she make you make a fool of yourself? It's good if she doesn't make a fool of herself!" Zhao said in disbelief.

"Mom, do you think I'll lie to you? At the beginning of the trick today, when the acrobat asked who came up, she went up first. Although I also went up later, but after I answered the question, she refuted me with words." , It made me feel very shameless at the time. I went up to play the piano, but it attracted vicious dogs. Later, she proposed to go up to sing, and the song she sang was loved and affirmed by everyone. Today, she is the one who stole the limelight. It's not me. I saw the governor's gaze. The governor is very sure of Liu Ruyi!"

"Mother, I'm sorry, I made you lose face."

"No, son, it's not your fault. I believe there must be someone behind this. Don't worry, your father will definitely investigate."

"Well, I believe him. But mother, what should I do in the future? Have I really missed this opportunity?" Liu Xuanshuang asked anxiously.

"Yes, but you have other opportunities in the future. It's just that the target is not the prince." Zhao sighed.

"Did Liu Ruyi know the purpose of the governor's visit, so she ruined my chance?"

"Shuang'er, you're thinking too much. She has no background and no qualifications. How could she know this news? I think she just made a mistake today."

"But mother, do you know? My third sister and I went to question her today after the dinner. She looks eloquent, and we didn't take advantage of it."

"Oh? Ask her what?" Zhao became curious.Liu Ruyi has changed a bit, but I don't know how she did it.After all, she has endured the bullying of her sisters in silence for a long time.

Liu Xuanshuang said it clearly.

Zhao's gaze suddenly became darker, it seems that Liu Ruyi has indeed changed.

"Shuang'er, be careful when talking to her in the future, don't put any blame on her, otherwise it may make your affairs very difficult, you know?"

Liu Xuanshuang didn't quite understand, but she still nodded with a vague understanding.But she thought in her heart that Liu Ruyi had nothing to be afraid of, as long as her mother was with her, she would not be afraid of anything!
After the dinner, and after the Governor left, Prime Minister Liu stopped smiling and stood in the lobby with a serious face. In front of him stood the two servants who were watching the red-crowned cranes, and a servant who was lying on a stretcher watching the dog. .The rest are the servants who passed by before and the people who placed the stone tablet and other things.

"Let me ask you, you are looking at red-crowned cranes. Why did red-crowned cranes die and catch fire? What happened to the crows flying in the sky?"

"The slaves originally wanted to release the red-crowned crane, but when they opened the door, they met a man in black. The man in black directly used martial arts to knock us out. When the slave woke up, the red-crowned crane was dead and the room was on fire. !"

"Have you seen the face? Is it male or female?"

"The servant saw that she was covering her face, so she couldn't see her face clearly, but she only remembered that she had a strong figure."

"how about you?"

"I didn't see it clearly either!"

"Is that male or female?"

"This...this servant doesn't know either!" He wanted to cry but had no tears!
"I don't even know this, what's the use of you guys, come here, pull the two of them down and beat them up!"

"Sir, forgive us!"

"Drag it!"

The rest of the people were trembling, for fear that they would be the next to be dragged down.

"Why is the vigorous fast-growing grass that I asked you to bury on the ground useless? Why didn't it grow after entering the water?"

"My lord, logically it will grow. If it doesn't grow, Dali fast-growing grass is not afraid of anything, but it is afraid of being scalded. It must be scalded to death."

"How could you be scalded to death? Didn't you say before that you will definitely grow up? Judging by the inconsistencies in your words, you must not be a trustworthy person. Come and drive him out of the mansion. Don't give him this month's money."

"Yes." The servant beside him nodded.

"My lord, give me another chance, don't drive me out of the mansion! I have an old man, and a young man!" The elderly servant wailed in situ, refusing to leave, but he was still beaten. Tow away!

"Let me ask you. Why did the watchdog go crazy?" Prime Minister Liu asked.

"The servant didn't know either. I left for a while, and when I came back, it was fine. It didn't go crazy until the lady played the piano. I couldn't even pull it!"

"You have already been punished. I won't punish you. But your mouth can't speak, and you can't keep you in this mansion. When you recover from your injuries, you can leave the mansion."

The servant was stunned. He wanted to beg for mercy, but he held back.

"Thank you, my lord, for not expelling me from the mansion now." He is still young, he can do other things.

Prime Minister Liu asked the servants passing by again, but he didn't ask anything, and he couldn't help feeling exhausted.

But it was too late, he could only let the servants retreat and return to the bed, he tossed and turned, and fell asleep near dawn.

At dawn, Liu Ruyi got up early, Xiang Yi asked curiously: "Miss, why did you get up so early? This is not like your style! You usually sleep in late."

"As the saying goes, if the young don't work hard, the old will be sad. It's time to change the bad habits!" Liu Ruyi smiled brightly.Only by being prepared, the harder you work, the luckier you will be!

Xiangyi sees that Liu Ruyi is smiling more and more recently, she is sincerely happy for her, and hopes that the lady will be happier and happier!
Liu Ruyi's fame has spread since last night. Everyone knows that there is a lady who sings very well in the prime minister's mansion. It is the second lady, Liu Ruyi. What's more, her views at that time also refreshed the eyes of the people in the city. Everyone thinks that this woman is not good. Simple!
In the morning, Prime Minister Liu went to the court, and after the next court, the nearby officials, whether they had attended his dinner party or not, all praised him for having such a good daughter as Liu Ruyi.

Prime Minister Liu had a strange feeling in his heart. Although Liu Xuanshuang made a fool of himself, Liu Ruyi made him respectable.Liu Ruyi, even though he had never looked at her directly, she had changed so much unconsciously. It was because he didn't care enough and treated one more favorably than another. In fact, no matter which daughter she is, as long as she can win glory for him, she is actually a good daughter. After he goes back, he should have a good chat with her.

Liu Ruyi walked slowly around a tree in the yard.

"Miss, what are you doing? Going around the tree in circles, won't you feel dizzy?" Xiangyi asked curiously.

"Fool, I'm exercising. My legs are thick and I need to lose weight."

"Miss, it's okay, we are wearing skirts, no one can see our thick legs."

"You don't understand this, I do it for myself, I exercise for myself, not for others, you know?"

"Okay, miss."

At this moment, a servant came over.Xiangyi was a little worried, could it be that someone came to trouble the lady again?
"Second miss, adults are welcome. Please go with the younger one."

"Okay." Liu Ruyi smiled slightly, her expression as usual.

Xiang Yi was a little strange, when the prime minister was looking for the young lady before, the young lady was the happiest, but seeing the young lady today doesn't seem to be particularly happy!

Coming in front of Prime Minister Liu, Liu Ruyi saluted with a smile.

Seeing her generous demeanor, Prime Minister Liu couldn't help but wonder, when did she start to change?

"I don't know why father asked his daughter to come here?" Liu Ruyi asked.

"It's like this. I'm a little curious as a father. How did you come up with Yi'er's remarks last night? I remember that you didn't know much before. Water can carry a boat and it can capsize it. Where did you come from? learned it?"

"Oh, it turns out that this is what Father is curious about. In fact, this is what I learned in a dream. In fact, there is another sentence that I didn't say. The people are the most important, and the king is the least."

Prime Minister Liu couldn't figure out what she said, could it be that what the wandering monk said was true!He thought with some surprise.

"Then Yi'er must be very fond of reading, then I will ask someone to give you a special teacher. Let you study the knowledge in the book."

"Thank you father. My daughter and father have not seen each other for a long time. How is father doing recently?"

Prime Minister Liu looked at her in surprise. Liu Ruyi in the past not only couldn't speak but also didn't care about people, but now Liu Ruyi seems to have grown up suddenly!Let him reverse the original impression of her!

In fact, Liu Ruyi doesn't care about Prime Minister Liu's good or bad at all, but now Liu Ruyi wants to take advantage of this ruthless father, so proper greetings are also necessary.

"My Yi'er has really grown up, and I know how to care about people more and more. I think the original Taoyuan is not suitable for you to live in. You can move to Qianjingju. I think it is more suitable for you."

"This, I'm afraid it's not good, after all..." Liu Ruyi bit her lip suddenly, tears welled up in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Prime Minister Liu asked.

"My daughter grew up in Taoyuan. People around me said that my status is not as good as that of a maid. It is a waste to even live in Taoyuan. My daughter knows that she is humble since she was a child. I am not as good as my sister who is proficient in everything. I’m not as likable as my sister, I know I’m not likable when I speak, and my personality is dull, so how can I live in Qianjingju with such a good environment?”

"Yi'er, don't say that, you performed so well yesterday, how can you belittle yourself like this? You are worthy of Qian Jingju, whoever dares to disrespect you is disrespecting your father!"
