Splendid concubine

Chapter 42
However, after all, she has seen the world, Susu's surprise only lasted for a while, and then she regained her composure, "This is not easy, as you know, it is easy to transport people in, but it is not easy to let a man stay in the inner house. This is not in the palace, you can still pretend to be a eunuch."

"Of course I know, otherwise I won't be looking for you. But don't worry, I only let him stay in my yard, and if he doesn't go out, all the maids in the yard will also be kicked out."

Liu Ruyi said relaxedly: "Just help me bring him in. I'm not familiar with many places in the mansion."

At this time, Liu Ruyi hadn't realized that the man she saved was not a simple person. If she wanted to stay by her side and train him to be a hidden guard, was it depriving him of his freedom, and she didn't ask him if he wanted to.

Under wishful thinking, it is natural to have this idea.

Soon, we arrived at the gate of the palace.

The bright red palace gate was tall and majestic, and the iron nails on it were all familiar to him in his previous life. He had stood here countless times, and Liu Ruyi couldn't help feeling a little sad when he saw this scene again.

The guards in front of the palace gate stopped Liu Ruyi, "Is it the second lady of Liu's mansion? The emperor hasn't come down yet, so let's wait here first."

Liu Ruyi stood at the gate of the palace again, quietly counting the nails with the wind blowing.

I don't remember counting hundreds of times, the emperor finally came down.

"Which one is Liu Ruyi, the second young lady of the Liu family? Come with me." An eunuch, holding a whisk, came over to summon him strangely.

Liu Ruyi quickly lowered her head and followed the little eunuch into the palace.

In her previous life, she had walked this road countless times, but each time, she was not as relaxed as she is now.

Marrying a husband who doesn't love her is not only about pleasing her husband, taking care of the concubines in the backyard, protecting her son, but also pleasing the queen, concubine, queen mother, let alone the emperor.

Everyone in the palace should not be underestimated, even if they offended a little eunuch, casually saying a few words in front of the emperor, empress dowager, could cause very serious consequences.

Not to mention, the husband still has to pick his own faults all the time, even if he tries to do better, learn a lot of things, plan for him, calculate for him, and do things for him that he doesn't want to do.

Poisoning, murder, rape, falling into the water, torture, entrapment, design... endless.

Seeing Liu Ruyi's complexion looked a little bad, Susu quickly pushed her away, "Miss, don't be nervous, my father-in-law is waiting for your reply."

Liu Ruyi struggled out of her emotions, seeing the little eunuch who had just led the way staring at her, very dissatisfied, she quickly took out a large piece of gold from her sleeve, and stuffed it into the little eunuch's hand calmly, "This father-in-law, Ruyi is entering the palace for the first time, and he is a little nervous, which made you laugh. You have a lot of adults, please be considerate of Ruyi."

The little eunuch was not respected in the palace. No one called him father-in-law. Father-in-law had to be called a senior eunuch with some status. Hearing what Liu Ruyi said, he immediately smiled.

"It's easy to say, easy to say." The little eunuch pinched the gold nugget in his hand, and just saw a yellow one in a flash. It was really big when he pinched it, and it was on top of his salary for several years.

"Let me tell you, the emperor is not happy looking at the court today. Be careful, the emperor likes talented women." The little eunuch lowered his voice and said mysteriously.

What the little eunuch said about the emperor's preferences was not fully understood by Liu Ruyi in her previous life, but Liu Ruyi also appreciated it, "Thank you for your father-in-law's hard work, take it to drink tea." Another large piece of gold was stuffed into the father-in-law's hand inside.

You can't be stingy when you enter the palace, eunuchs who haven't been contacted by an advantage have to take good care of them.

A eunuch has no children and cannot marry a wife, and loves money the most.

At any rate, the maid has other hobbies.

After receiving the money, the little eunuch smiled even more, and when they reached the gate of Qinzheng Hall, the little eunuch handed Liu Ruyi and Susu to a big eunuch guarding the gate of the hall, "Master, this is the second lady of the Liu family, master take good care of her." , turn around and invite you to drink tea."

The little eunuch winked at the big eunuch, and the big eunuch nodded knowingly.

"Miss Liu, this way please." The eunuch led Liu Ruyi into the hall.

As Liu Ruyi walked in, there were constant notifications, "Liu Ruyi, the second miss of the Liu family, pays a visit to the emperor."

Here, Liu Ruyi is even more relaxed, the current sage is not famous, he loves to listen to flattery, and loves to put on a show, you can tell from the number of people she has come to serve.

Susu was left outside the hall.

After finally reaching the inner study, Liu Ruyi bowed to the desk as soon as she entered, and then knelt on the ground without looking up.

"I'm here." The emperor said a little funny.

Sure enough, when he looked up, the emperor was sitting on the couch by the window, leaning on the pillow, lying crookedly.

Although the posture is casual, Liu Ruyi can see the deliberate stiffness in the emperor's posture.

Sure enough, the current Holy Majesty just wants to save face and wants to pretend to be casual.

"Raise your head, I'll take a look." The emperor coughed, sat up and said.

Liu Ruyi raised her head slowly, staring at the position of the emperor's chin, as if she dared not look directly at the holy face.

"He knows the rules." A female voice chuckled, but there were still people in the room.

Liu Ruyi didn't notice it just now.

Sure enough, I was still a little nervous.

Hearing the laughter, Liu Ruyi didn't move at all.

"The concubine looks good, what does the emperor think?" The queen said with a light smile.

"The empress thinks it's not bad, so it's good." The emperor also said unnutritious words to the empress, ignoring Liu Ruyi.

This is a trick that the emperor loves to play. He intentionally leaves people alone to see how their temperament is, whether they will be anxious or fearful.

It's a pity that Liu Ruyi was used to the experience in her previous life, so she didn't react. Instead, she stared at the flowers on the carpet carefully. Well, there are no scars on the carpet now. Later in her previous life, the carpet was kicked over because of the emperor's anger. Although the rescue was timely, there were still a few small scars on the carpet. Only those who often kneel here and wait will know.

"I ask you, have you read the book? What did you read?" The emperor's voice was a little soft, but Liu Ruyi could still hear it clearly.

Because of her experience of pleasing the emperor and empress in her previous life, Liu Ruyi quickly replied in a clear and clear voice: "Minnv Ruyi has read the Nvzenvjie, and also briefly read some collections of classics and history. She usually does some needlework under the guidance of her grandmother." Work, but not very delicate."

"A humble one," interrupted the Queen.

"How about the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting on weekdays?" The emperor continued to ask.

"Farm girls are all dabbled in hunting, but it's just mediocre." Liu Ruyi replied respectfully.

"Come and play a game of chess with me." The emperor was full of enthusiasm.

"The daughter of the people obeys the order." Liu Ruyi bowed before getting up, and there was no need to hold back when playing chess with the emperor.

The emperor's chess skills are extraordinary, and he hates others to keep their hands when playing chess with him.

There used to be an upright champion in the new department who won the emperor in chess. Originally, the champion in the new department had to go to the Imperial Academy to practice first and become a sixth-rank official. Just serving pen and ink, after all, he entered the cabinet and became a Beijing official from the fourth rank.

However, the new No. [-] scholar has not yet taken the examination.

"Then you're welcome." Liu Ruyi smiled, and the emperor liked her straightforwardness and obsession with playing chess.

The inner eunuch hurriedly brought over the white jade chessboard, Liu Ruyi picked up the white chess pieces, frowned, and placed them cautiously, after a fight, they almost beat the emperor.

Liu Ruyi hurriedly pretended to have just discovered it, and begged for mercy on the knees in fear, "The emperor please make amends, my daughter, my daughter really forgets me for a while, this is, this is..."

Before Liu Ruyi finished speaking, she was interrupted by the emperor, "It's okay, it's okay, hahaha, I haven't played chess so happily for a long time, okay, okay." The emperor laughed loudly, While comforting Liu Ruyi.

The queen laughed too, looking very happy.

"Set the meal, set the meal, I'm hungry from playing chess. Ruyi is here to eat, hahaha." The emperor clapped his hands while ordering food for the little eunuch.

Eating in the palace was a bit awkward, but it was still the emperor's grace. Liu Ruyi behaved extremely well during the dinner.

The queen praised her again, "Although she is a concubine, she is no different from a concubine in terms of bearing and connotation."

"From what I can see, he is stronger than the princess." The emperor said without hesitation.

Liu Ruyi felt aggrieved when she heard this, and quickly knelt down and said, "The princesses are taught by the empress, so they are naturally much better than the common girls. What the emperor said made the common girls panic. The common girls are just a little better at chess, no Dare to be praised by the emperor."

If the queen listened to the emperor's words, but she didn't say anything, wouldn't it mean that the teachings of the Xiangfu are better than the teachings of the empress?

Just because he is better than the princesses, if the princesses know about it, I'm afraid they will be in trouble.

"You don't have to be so terrified, it's not bad." The queen said gently.

"Menwomen don't dare." Liu Ruyi declined.

"Look at you, you don't pay attention when you speak, you scare the child, I dare not enter the palace to play chess with you next time, let's see what you do." The queen teased the emperor.

The emperor also laughed: "Liu Qing gave birth to a good daughter. When you are free, you can come to the palace to play chess with me. You don't have to shy away from playing chess in front of me. If you win chess, you will win. It just so happens that I don't have a daughter. If you like girls, it is also good to go to the palace to spend more time with the queen."

"That's right, I just like girls. It's a pity that there is no princess in the entire palace, who hugs and kisses girls from the clan all day long." The queen also laughed.

Liu Ruyi smiled as if she was relieved now.

In fact, Liu Ruyi knew a long time ago how much the current emperor and empress like girls, otherwise she wouldn't be able to hear that a courtier's daughter is better, so she went to the palace to have a look.

As for playing chess, Liu Ruyi practiced hard in her previous life in order to please the emperor.

Now there is no such thing as a new champion, and these princes and ministers have not realized it, so no one started to practice hard, but Liu Ruyi took advantage of it.

Playing chess is like a human being, I don't know if her sharp chess style has made the emperor think too much.

Presumably, the emperor likes girls, so he won't care.
