Splendid concubine

Chapter 41 The Emperor Summons
Before returning to the courtyard, the Liu residence welcomed an angel.

When Liu Xuanshuang heard that the angel was coming, she hurriedly went back to her yard to freshen up, quickly put on an orange dress, washed her face again, took the balm and evened her face, while complaining: "Come down from the mountain! , my face was wrinkled by blowing, if the angel saw it and went back and told the emperor, wouldn’t it make my appearance look bad?”

The dressing girl beside her hurriedly said: "Miss is already very attractive, so naturally she is not afraid, but her face is a little wrinkled by the mountain wind, so don't be afraid, the servant girl recently made a balm with rose dew and rubbed it on her face , the most looks good."

"Hurry up and bring it here." Liu Xuanshuang was happy, thinking that the angel must have delivered a decree to her, so she reached out and took a gold hairpin from the dressing box, and handed it to the dressing girl, "Thank you, be smart next time, And rewards."

It was originally the prime minister's mansion, so people often came to pass the decree on weekdays, and this process was very familiar.

However, what they didn't expect was that this decree was for Liu Ruyi.

"By heaven's blessing, the emperor's decree says that the Liu family is as willing as you want, virtuous and virtuous... hereby." The eunuch who delivered the decree did not dare to take Joe in front of the old lady of the prime minister's mansion. He took the silver, carefully put it in his sleeve, and faced it The old lady looked inquiringly, and only said quietly, "Congratulations to the old lady in advance, it's not a bad thing."

I hurried back to reply.

"I know that you are a lucky girl. When you enter the palace, answer carefully, so you don't have to be too afraid." The old lady pulled Liu Ruyi away and instructed carefully.

"You help your young lady back to the yard, take a good rest, and get dressed in the morning tomorrow, and send them to the palace." The old lady instructed Xiangyi who was behind Liu Ruyi.

Xiangyi was still a little worried for the young lady, but after hearing the angel said that it was not a bad thing, she immediately became happy.

Hearing the old lady's advice, she readily agreed.

Liu Xuanshuang was kneeling on one side, thinking that the angel delivered the decree because of her, just before she came out, she deliberately changed into a rather festive orange dress, with a ruby ​​head on her head, she really looked like the master .

At this time, the target of delivering the decree was not her, so she couldn't help losing face.

He gave Liu Ruyi a fierce look, his palms were about to be torn by his nails, and he took the maid away in resentment.

Liu Ruyi, who received the order, felt a lot calmer. After all, she had met the emperor many times in her previous life, so she wouldn't be so nervous that she couldn't speak and embarrass him.

The Seventh Prince who married in the previous life was not favored at all, and naturally she was not favored either, but the emperor had never summoned him alone.

It's just a family banquet, I often see it.

Seeing the young lady's calm face, Xiang Yi admired and said: "The old lady is indeed right, the young lady is promising, if the young lady from another family gets the chance to face the saint, she will be so unhappy from ear to ear. Calm down. Miss, will you take me there tomorrow?"

Looking at Xiangyi's face, Liu Ruyi really couldn't say anything to refuse, but Xiangyi's temperament is simple, and she brought Xiangyi into the palace, worried that she would make a mistake, and she would not be able to save Xiangyi at that time.

The old lady and Liu Ren'an can save her, but they won't save a maid.

Xiangyi means a lot to herself, but to others, she is just a maid.

Thinking of this, Liu Ruyi said helplessly: "Xiangyi, it's not that I don't want to bring you into the palace, but that I made a mistake in the palace and I have no ability to save you. I want to bring Susu into the palace. I gave it to my grandmother. Save face, and won't offend others because of mistakes, even if Susu makes mistakes, grandma will take advantage of her."

Although a little disappointed, Xiangyi still nodded obediently, "Miss, you don't need to explain, I'm just happy and silly, just ask casually, I understand the truth."

However, the little girl was obviously a little disappointed, she lowered her head and said nothing.

Liu Ruyi secretly sighed, after all Xiangyi is still young.

"During this period of time, learn from Su Su how to speak and act without making mistakes. It won't be many days until I bring you into the palace during the flower feast. Okay?" Liu Ruyi heard the soft words, but Xiang Yi blushed a little.

"Miss, you don't need to do this, Xiangyi can save it." Xiangyi lowered her head and whispered.

After rubbing Xiangyi's hair, Liu Ruyi smiled lightly.

In the next few days, she will also prepare some more bargaining chips for herself, and she will definitely not let Xiang Yi become a raft for others to attack her.

Xiangyi is a relative who has been with her for two lifetimes.

When they returned to the courtyard, Linglong had already returned, and gave Liu Ruyi a "rest assured" look, then smiled and secretly took the snacks that Liu Ruyi ordered to buy.

Linglong bought a lot, and Liu Ruyi ordered to send a few packets to the old lady, and some to Susu for them to share, and she ate the rest by herself.

She is still waiting until Linglong's father and elder brother pick him up, and then she will know how the man is injured.

This waited until the evening, the time to rest after dinner.

"Miss, just now my elder sister dragged the gatekeeper of the second gate to send this over." Linglong finally came back with the jade pendant Liu Ruyi gave her.

Seeing the jade pendant, Liu Ruyi felt settled.

"What else did your sister say?" Liu Ruyi hurriedly asked.

"My elder sister only said to let the lady rest assured." Linglong hurried back.

Liu Ruyi finally felt relieved, lying down and sleeping soundly all night.

Waking up a little earlier than usual, Xiangyi woke up Liu Ruyi.

After flipping through the dressing box, Liu Ruyi and Xiang Yi had a dispute.

"Miss, it's luxurious and festive to use this, how nice it is." Xiangyi picked up a set of ruby ​​haircuts, which Aunt Li gave to Liu Ruyi.The colors are extraordinarily delicate.

In the golden receptacle, red peony flowers are carved with rubies, lifelike, the tip of the hairpin is so small, there is actually a calyx receptacle with a small peony on it.

The earrings and bracelets are also carved with peonies, each of which is different and extremely delicate. Obviously, Liu Ruyi also likes this set of carvings very much.But after looking at it, I let it go.

"Miss! You don't need this set, what else can you use?" Xiangyi was anxious, and stomped her feet.

"You don't understand." Liu Ruyi didn't want to say more, what could she say?Tell Xiangyi, do the emperor and queen like simple girls?
This is a secret that I only learned in the royal family for many years in my previous life, and no one believed it when I told it.

A white jade hairpin was found out of the box. The head of the hairpin was carved with several bamboo leaves, and the hairpin itself had bamboo knots. It was also extremely exquisitely designed and carved.

For the earrings, I chose two very simple emerald drop-shaped ones. On the earlobe, against the white skin tone, they are wobbly and extremely elegant.

When opening the closet, Xiangyi finally stopped talking.

It can be seen that Xiangyi also thinks that her young lady's outfit looks good.

Picking out an eggshell blue dress with bamboo leaves embroidered on it, Liu Ruyi quickly changed it, sure enough, she looked very elegant.

"Miss is really pretty." Xiangyi held her face and looked at Liu Ruyi obsessively.

Liu Ruyi smiled, but did not answer.

At the beginning of her previous life, she also thought that the empress would like to be bright and festive. Every time she went to the palace banquet or went to meet the empress, she would wear bright pink or light yellow. .

Later, when I saw the concubine of the same unfavored prince, she was always dressed in moon white or eggshell blue, and I always felt that the empress looked a little better at the concubine.

Later, she tried wearing moon white, and sure enough, the Queen looked at her with better eyes.

When I went to pay my respects to the old lady, sure enough, the old lady also disliked Liu Ruyi's dress that was too plain, thinking that Liu Ruyi didn't have head jewelry, so she quickly asked Susu to open the warehouse and picked out a whole set of sapphires for Liu Ruyi. "Go to the palace and dress up festively. Seeing that you don't like red, I will give you a set of sapphires. You can also wear them when you go out to play with your little sisters."

As he said, he still stroked the set of jewelry with his hands, "This is when I was about to get married, my grandmother added makeup to me, how many years, almost 50 years, and now I gave it to you, I hope you will also live in the future." Well done."

Liu Ruyi felt that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, so she could only nod her head to show that she understood.

Susu helped Liu Ruyi put the mask on her head, and Liu Ruyi didn't object.

"Grandmother, the little maids around me are all too young and childish, afraid of entering the palace and making a mistake, I want to borrow sister Susu from my grandmother's side." Liu Ruyi glanced at Susu and proposed.

"Okay, since that's the case, Susu, you can follow along. It's not the first time you've entered the palace. If you pay attention, please remind me of Ruyi girl."

The old lady quickly agreed, "It's getting late, choose a good car in the mansion, and go."

With the sound of the carriage, on the road, Liu Ruyi came down with a sapphire head, which surprised Susu.

"You don't really want to enter the palace so plainly, do you?" Susu looked at Liu Ruyi hesitantly.

"Of course, trust me, that's right." Liu Ruyi was confident.

"I don't know what to do in my heart." Susu was dubious.

"If the driver of the carriage can handle it, he will take you to a place later." Liu Ruyi changed the subject mysteriously.

Although she didn't want to tell Susu, Liu Ruyi still wanted to bring someone into the mansion, so she had to go through Susu.

Don't look at Susu as just a favored maid by the old lady's side, in fact the old lady's backyard is the largest in the mansion, Susu is more useful than Zhao's to a certain extent.

In addition, Susu is favored, so she is definitely not stupid, so it is good for more people to help out with ideas.

"It can't be a big deal, right? Do you need my help?" Susu guessed.

"There is someone who wants you to help me get into the mansion." Liu Ruyi was a little ashamed and said in a low voice.

"Isn't she just a maid? Talk to the buyer and it's done. What a big deal. The lady Wang who bought it is the most greedy for money. Give me a few taels of silver. All the ladies in the house have done this before." Susu It doesn't matter.

"It's not a maidservant, it's a man who knows kung fu." Liu Ruyi had no choice but to lower her voice.

Susu's face showed a shocked expression in the morning light.
