Splendid concubine

Chapter 214 Opening Season
Liu Ruyi has been waiting for Bi Zhu to escape from prison so that she can proceed to the next step, and even the opening of the store that was originally planned was delayed.

Unexpectedly, before Bizhu escaped from prison, the veterans in the court first suggested that the people in southern Xinjiang are treacherous and unpredictable, and sacrifices are needed.

Soon, the emperor agreed to sacrifice.

Liu Ruyi's heart hung up again.

Priests, I just heard that she was a princess in her previous life, but because Xiao Qi is an unfavored prince and she is an insignificant concubine, she is often not allowed to enter the hall to offer sacrifices, and can only watch from afar.

I don't know what's going on in the hall at all, I don't know what the emperor thinks, the sacrifice should be left to Xiao Moli.

Liu Ruyi wasn't worried about Xiao Moli's ability at all, but if she couldn't stand up to other people's intentions to play tricks, she would be in trouble.

Compared with Mu Zitan, who should eat and sleep, who doesn't know what to do, Liu Ruyi is simply restless, walking around in the side hall without resting.

In the end, Linglong cleverly took out the blueprints of the jewelry to Liu Ruyi, and Liu Ruyi reluctantly sat down and drew the blueprints, but her mind was full of sacrifices, and the things she drew were also suitable for sacrifices.

In the past, people who participated in sacrifices needed to dress up solemnly, and there was no fancy jewelry. However, women all liked to compare and show off new jewelry and new clothes, as if those could reflect their value. Priests could only wear solemn dresses , naturally only jewelry can play.

Liu Ruyi drew several drawings, then put down the pen, rubbed her sore wrist, and let out the wind. The jewelry for sacrifices is limited, and only three sets are sold.

Looking at the five sets of blueprints, the two most precious and beautiful sets are naturally reserved for Empress Dowager Concubine and Empress Concubine Lin.

Liu Ruyi stood up quickly, put on her cloak, and was about to go to the store to have a look.

It was planned to open before, now that she has calmed down, she naturally has to go to the store to take care of the opening, it is related to her position in the eyes of the emperor, Liu Ruyi dare not deal with it carelessly.

The opening date has changed once, and the final date is exactly tomorrow.

Liu Ruyi went to inspect the store and saw that the decoration was festive. The scarlet silk was piled up all over the place as if it was free of money. At the door, there was a long string of scarlet silk flowers and many red silk flowers. The silk and satin almost filled up the field at the door, and I don't know what the manager thinks. Although Liu Ruyi is not satisfied, she also thinks it is good.

The maids are all trained by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, all of them are beautiful, standing there neatly, with low eyebrows and pleasing to the eye, and they all have special skills, even if someone comes to make trouble, they can subdue it.

Every mansion that planned to invite sent invitations, and for Mu Zitan's sake, they would all come.

Liu Ruyi was very satisfied with what she saw now, and picked out such small problems as the jewelry box, the carver must be original, this box is not original enough, she needs to go back and change it, but she has been restless, as if she missed something important things, but can't remember.I didn't go back to the palace until it was dark.

On the way back to the palace, in the carriage, Liu Ruyi propped her chin with one hand, thinking about something on her mind, while Xiangyi and Linglong sat quietly on the small stools in the carriage to embroider. Suddenly, Linglong broke the peaceful atmosphere in the carriage and said: " Miss, don't forget Miss Fifth, I've heard what she said to you before, but now that I think about it, I'm still afraid, when I was in the store today, I seemed to see her figure."

As she said that, Linglong wrinkled her nose, as if she had a very bad impression of Liu Jiaren: "I used to think that among the ladies in the mansion, only Miss Fifth was considered a good one, and Miss also has a good sister. Unexpectedly, She is so vicious, I still can't figure out why she treats Miss like this, I don't think Miss treats her badly, and supports her everywhere."

Xiangyi embroidered a peony flower on the embroidery shed with a needle on the stamen, inserted the needle on it, and said lightly: "You just treat her as a good person. When my miss and I lived in the small broken yard, Why don't you see her and Miss? Seeing that our lady is promising, I came here, presumably this time, I found someone who is more powerful than Miss to curry favor with, and I must do things for the new master."

Liu Ruyi listened to the two maids talking, and when she heard Xiangyi say this, she suddenly laughed: "I pride myself on being smart, and I see things clearly, but I didn't expect that Liu Jiaren's vision is not as accurate as Xiangyi's. The beauty has never changed, so when it comes to betrayal, I was so stupid that I was almost killed by her, and I won't do it next time."

"Miss, don't do this kind of thing again. You scared me and Xiangyi to death. In those few days, we shed tears every day. Miss, I have something to say. I don't know if I should say it or not."

Because of her serious speech, Lingling also put down the embroidery shed in her hand.

"Just say what you want, why are you being polite?" Liu Ruyi was also a little interested in what Linglong found, and sat up straight.

"I think the old lady is not very surprised that the lady is in danger, and she is not enthusiastic about looking for the lady. To put it bluntly, when encountering such a thing, the family members should not see anyone alive, and those who are dead must be found. People or bones, but the old lady doesn't seem to be interested in this. Moreover, the most important thing is that the servant girl found that the old lady advised the master not to look for it, but the master insisted on looking for it. After the old lady called the master in for a private conversation, the master came out There is no sadness on her face, on the contrary, she is calm, and she is no longer looking for Miss." Linglong said in a low voice.

After Liu Ruyi heard this, she was silent for a moment, and then smiled lightly: "Fortunately, I have never trusted them, so I didn't reveal my hole cards. I have long guessed that the old lady was also involved in this matter, but I didn't expect it to be true." .If I guessed correctly, Liu Jiaren must have colluded with the Queen Mother." As soon as Liu Ruyi finished speaking, she heard Linglong exclaim.

"Miss, I was about to tell you this, but I felt it was my own guess, so I couldn't say it. Fortunately, Princess Rosewood didn't come out today, otherwise I wouldn't have the chance to tell Miss." Linglong lifted the curtain of the car and looked at it. Look at the coachman driving outside.

Liu Ruyi called her to stop: "Don't worry, the coachman is still ours for the time being, besides, he can't hear anything."

"Then I'll tell you, ever since I returned to the mansion, I saw that the old lady and Fifth Miss were not so sad for the young lady, but even worse than the third lady, so I subconsciously stared at them, thinking Even if the young lady can't come back, with the money that the young lady gave to my family, I can redeem myself and go out to find a chance to get revenge. In the end, I found something." Linglong said, leaned forward, and moved closer to Liu Ruyi.

Xiangyi also listened all the time, and leaned forward to get closer to Liu Ruyi, only to hear Linglong say: "I watched Miss Wu enter a teahouse with her face covered, I smeared my face black, wore a tattered dress, and picked up a teahouse." Broken Wan, pretending to be a beggar, followed her and found her entering the private room. After a while, a woman also came, also covered her face, and seemed to have entered the same private room as her. After that, the two of them One came down one after the other, and I looked at the woman's figure, she looked a little like Princess Dingguo, but a little different."

After hearing this, Liu Ruyi didn't even need to guess, what Linglong saw must be Princess Dingguo, it didn't look like Princess Dingguo made a disguise.

"I see, you are fine. From now on, in the Red Sandalwood Treasure Pavilion, in my share, each of you will quietly take a share. If I disappear one day and you are still there, you will take your family away. Don't think about avenging me, if I can't deal with it, you can't deal with it either." Liu Ruyi's tone was heavy, and she felt more and more that no matter what time, no matter what level, her side was still full of dangers and battles.

It's rare that these two children are sincerely for their own good. Although they are immature, they use their own ways to care about themselves and want to avenge themselves. It is gratifying to have their own brains to think.

Before the two maids could say anything, Liu Ruyi looked at Linglong: "Linglong, your family is here. If possible, let your brother and brother do part of the business in the country of Yan. When the time comes, if we can't do it here, You can still go there, when doing business, be careful to hide your real identity, if one day I am gone, you take Xiangyi with you, besides me, Xiangyi will have no other relatives."

"Miss, don't say it, there won't be such a day. Xiangyi will be with the lady for the rest of her life. Miss, don't abandon Xiangyi. If the lady is gone, Xiangyi will not live anymore. Xiangyi is not as smart as Linglong, but Xiang Yi has a heart of loyalty to Miss." Xiang Yi burst into tears.

Liu Ruyi touched the top of Xiangyi's hair affectionately, and pressed Xiangyi on her knee to comfort her.

Linglong forced a smile and said: "Miss is the most powerful person I have ever seen, how could it be so? If that day comes, Linglong, Linglong will avenge Miss. Anyway, Miss is gone, so I can't control what I do. If it wasn't for Miss , my sister and I both fought and worked for the masters in the prime minister's mansion. Maybe they died a long time ago. Miss, you see, our family is not rich now, and now the parents, brother and sister-in-law are living better than the landlord. It's like the old lady of a small family, I didn't even dare to think about it before, it's all thanks to the young lady..."

Linglong chattered, couldn't bear it any longer, and cried too.

Infected by the two maids, Liu Ruyi was so fragile that she also started to cry. The three master and servant cried with each other.

Almost at the gate of the palace, Liu Ruyi ordered the two maids to wipe their faces clean with hot handkerchiefs, and reapplied their makeup. Then Shi Shiran got out of the carriage and walked through the long corridor to Concubine Lin's palace. Go, along the way, the three masters and servants are indifferent.

As soon as he entered Concubine Lin's Palace, he saw Mu Zitan coming excitedly: "Ruyi Ruyi, where have you been? I fell asleep just now and you didn't call me, you hate me."
