Splendid concubine

Chapter 55

The old lady commanded calmly, "Go in, someone, and quickly recite your wife."

Liu Ruyi stood behind the old lady, holding her arm weakly.

Looking at the flames of the ancestral hall, she felt a burst of pleasure in her heart. Her original purpose was not to directly hurt the eldest lady, but to accuse Zhao Shi of disrespecting her ancestors.

Sure enough, when the strong maid came out carrying the eldest lady who was burned but not seriously injured, the old lady was really furious.

"Whose daughter-in-law made a mistake and didn't knelt in the ancestral hall to reflect? You married into the Liu family, but you only made you kneel once, and you did this kind of thing."

Originally, the old lady would not anger the eldest lady, she would ask what was going on first, but because today the eldest lady's brothers and nephews came to make such a fuss, the old lady's attitude towards the eldest lady's natal family at this time is unprecedented poor.

"If you don't want to pass it, go back to your mother's house." The old lady stamped on the ground with her cane vigorously.

"If you don't want to stay in the ancestral hall, go back to your yard, don't come out, and take good care of your problems. I don't believe it, and you can't be cured."

Turning around and seeing Liu Ruyi and Liu Jiaren, a group of people were yawning.

The old lady became even more angry, and she also said to Liu Ren'an who came in a hurry: "Look at the good wife you married, she is going to piss me off, if you keep torturing me like this every day, sooner or later I will be pissed off by her. Toss these tricks today, and I will lose 30 years of life."

The old lady was over 50 years old, and she didn't have many years to live, so Liu Ren'an hurriedly begged for mercy, begging the old lady to calm down, and at the same time ordered the maids to cook some soup for smoothing Qi.

Seeing her son acting like this, the old lady finally calmed down a little.

"That's all right, all right, put her back in the yard, don't be an eyesore here." Da Furen was frightened and frightened, she was already stunned, she had no words to argue with.

Liu Ruyi watched the excitement again, watching the old woman send two strong maids to drag the eldest lady to her own yard. The eldest lady gave up struggling as if she was dead, Liu Ruyi felt in her heart It was a little pleasant.

The old lady glanced at the eldest lady again, still feeling uncomfortable, and cursed angrily: "Let her follow those two scoundrels to the temple to reflect on it tomorrow, and I don't want to look at her anymore."

However, Liu Ruyi felt that the old lady was just looking for an excuse to let Aunt Jia take the power in the mansion smoothly.

But even if this is guessed, it cannot be said.

Today was a whole day of tossing and tossing. I got up early in the morning and entered the palace. After entering the palace, so many things happened. When I came back, I had to watch Liu Xuanshuang and the eldest son be tried.

After a short rest, the Da Furen's natal family came again, and then they came to the ancestral hall to visit the Da Furen, and arranged arson on the spur of the moment, and then brought the maids over to watch the excitement.

When she returned to the yard, Liu Ruyi was really exhausted, fell asleep on the bed, and slept until dawn.

Just when she opened her eyes, Linglong leaned over excitedly, "Miss, why did you just get up? Didn't you see that this morning, when the young lady and the young lady were sent away, the young lady was How did you struggle in the car? I saw that the carriage was about to be dismantled by the eldest lady. Later, it was better for the master to let two strong nuns hold the eldest lady and tie her up. "

Liu Ruyi was also interested in this, and motioned to Linglong to continue.

"Miss, tell me, when will the eldest lady be able to take the antidote, or is she just so crazy, that's all. Now she is not the number one talented woman in the capital, but the number one lunatic in the capital." Linglong said interestingly , Liu Ruyi also laughed.

Because she was in a very good mood, Liu Ruyi used two more steamed buns for breakfast and drank half a bowl of millet porridge.

After eating and drinking, when I went to the old lady's yard, as expected, I heard people around the old lady say that the old lady became sick from anger and was bedridden.

He also said that the master has already invited the imperial physician.

The old lady hadn't forgotten about Liu Ruyi's promising granddaughter while she was ill, and asked her to review her embroidery work by herself today, Liu Ruyi agreed, and said a few words of concern to the old lady outside the house, and then left.

Liu Ruyi had just returned to her yard, and planned to rest for a day and do embroidery work.

Some concierge sent someone to say that the emperor sent someone to pick Liu Ruyi into the palace to play chess with him.

Now that she recognized her godfather, Liu Ruyi had no reason not to hug her thighs and hurry to please her, so she asked Linglong to help her dress up and hurried into the palace.

The one who received Liu Ruyi this time was not the little eunuch last time. Naturally, Liu Ruyi had a higher status, and the one who received him was the big eunuch next to the emperor.

As soon as Liu Ruyi walked into the upper study room, she saw the emperor sitting with a veiled beauty in palace attire.

It turned out to be the imperial concubine. I didn't expect that the imperial concubine was really favored. She vaguely looked at the face behind the veil, which was so ruined that she was still favored by the emperor.

Because the imperial concubine is her godmother and the future emperor's biological mother, Liu Ruyi's thoughts changed a little.

After saluting, she didn't rush to get up, "Your Majesty, Ruyi has an idea, and I don't know whether to say it or not."

"Just say it, it's all one family, there is something to say or not to say." The emperor was obviously in a good mood, and his attitude was particularly kind.

"That's what Ruyi said. Ruyi saw that the godmother's face seemed to be the same as yesterday, and the face of the elder sister who was poisoned yesterday, but according to the maid, the elder sister seemed to be better this morning. Yesterday's face was festered. There are only some shallow scars today, it should be that he has found an antidote, Ruyi is just guessing and cannot be sure."

Liu Ruyi hesitated and finished speaking.

However, just guessing is enough to make the emperor happy. Unexpectedly, the imperial physicians in the palace could not prepare the antidote, but they found it among the people.

He smiled immediately and said: "If you can really find the antidote, your godmother will have to thank you very much, and I will also thank you very much." The emperor smiled openly.

He quickly greeted Liu Ruyi, "Come, come, play a game with me, let your godmother see how good your chess skills are, your godmother is also a talented woman, and she is also good at chess. When I don't have time, you I often go to the palace to accompany your godmother, and your godmother is not very interesting in the harem, so I just count on playing chess, admiring flowers, drinking tea, painting a few pictures, and dancing to pass the time."

The emperor said a lot of hobbies of the imperial concubine and empress in one breath, which made both empress imperial concubine and Liu Ruyi laugh.

"The godmother doesn't dislike Ruyi, so Liu Ruyi often enters the palace to accompany the godmother to relieve boredom."

As she spoke, two lines of tears rolled down Liu Ruyi's face, making her delicate face even more pitiful.

"It's really Ruyi afraid to say something bad. Ruyi is just too excited. Ruyi's mother-in-law is a maid in the mansion. She passed away early due to illness. Now that Ruyi sees her godmother, she just feels kind. Finally, someone loves Ruyi."

The imperial concubine is a soft-hearted person, with tears in her eyes, "Why would the godmother despise you, the godmother wishes you could come and accompany the godmother often, the godmother has always been looking forward to having a girl, who is more caring than a bastard, it's okay The son will come into the palace and treat the godmother as if she were her own mother, the godmother loves you, good boy, don't cry."

Liu Ruyi confirmed the attitude of the imperial concubine, and seeing that the imperial concubine spoke very sincerely, she was a little relieved, and got up to play two games of chess with the emperor.

It happened that one of the two chess games won and the other lost, the emperor was very happy.

At noon, Liu Ruyi stayed in the palace for dinner.

When the empress heard that Liu Ruyi had entered the palace, she also sent people to give Liu Ruyi a lot of gadgets to play with.

When Liu Ruyi returned home, it was already dark.

Although the old lady was seriously ill in bed, but when she heard that Liu Ruyi was picked up by the emperor, she was worried and called Liu Ruyi over to question her carefully.

"Ruyi girl, do the emperor and queen like you? Oh, and your godmother, imperial concubine, do they like you?"

Liu Ruyi quickly replied, "The imperial concubine and the emperor have instructed Ruyi to go to the palace to accompany the imperial concubine when she is free, and the imperial concubine also said to let Ruyi treat the imperial concubine as her own mother, she loves me. "

"Okay, okay, grandma knows that you are a promising and good boy. Although the emperor and the imperial concubine said so, you should be careful. Ruyi, you are not young anymore. Grandma will tell you more about the affairs of the court. Cough cough, the eldest prince, that is, the crown prince was born to the empress, and the second prince was born to the noble concubine, and there are a large number of people in the court who support the prince and the second prince respectively."

Hearing that the old lady was coughing again, Liu Ruyi hurriedly beat the old lady's back, took the spittoon from Susu, and gave it to the old lady.

Then I sat down favorably and listened to the old lady's speech, "The imperial concubine's mother's family is not bad. Your father is still worrying about whether to support the crown prince or the second prince. Since our family has no chance to choose the crown prince and concubine, see The prince looks like he doesn't like to see our family too much, so it's not bad to take refuge with the second prince."

"I heard that the second prince's errands are better than the prince's, and he has a good reputation among the people. It is not certain who will be the emperor in the future. Since our family has elected the second prince, we will support the second prince. When the time comes The prince has ascended the throne, and our family can be regarded as a meritorious service. You recognized the imperial concubine as a godmother. If you go to the imperial concubine on weekdays, you may often see the second prince. It is good to see if the second prince is interested in you. The second prince has also reached his age, and he is about to choose a concubine, so you can take care of yourself."

The old lady held Liu Ruyi's hand fiercely, and Liu Ruyi was so painful that she didn't dare to speak.

He could only nod his head in agreement, but felt a little embarrassed, the second prince must have married Mu Zitan, there was no need to guess.

But thinking of Mu Zitan, Liu Ruyi quickly said: "Grandmother, my granddaughter wants to invite a few ladies from the capital to play in the mansion."
