When she said this, there was a hint of embarrassment on her face unconsciously. She and Xie Ruzhuo were clearly on equal terms when they were at Xie's house, but now, he was one step ahead of her. How could she not feel angry
Xie Ruzhuo didn't notice the look on Xie Rulan's face, he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. When the chamberlain shouted, "Xie Rulan, the daughter of the Xie family, stay-", Xie Ruzhuo raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Rulan.
She looked over accidentally, but she saw Xie Rulan looking irritated, with deep bitterness and hatred in his eyes.
Xie Ruzhuo was slightly startled. What did she do to provoke Xie Rulan
After selecting five beauties, Concubine Ye waved her hands and said with a smile, "The harem has almost been filled with newcomers. Didn't Sister Xian say that she wanted to see if any of them had a chance to sleep? Is there anyone I like?"
The Xian concubine had obviously already chosen someone. She declined a few words at first, then pointed at two of the women with a smile and said, "It's just the two of them."
Xie Ruzhuo followed her gesture and swept over her, and immediately wanted to sneer. This wise concubine really has a good plan.
One is Cheng Chuchu, the granddaughter of the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and the other is the concubine Zhuang Ziyan, the deputy commander of the left-wing forward battalion.
A man of letters and a man of arms gave Xiao Junhan a lot of power.
Concubine Ye obviously saw her plan, but she showed a hint of displeasure, and turned to Qin Wanyi, "Do you think these two are appropriate, Concubine Qi?"
Qin Wanyi had mixed feelings in her heart, but she had to put on a happy look on her face and said, "The choice of the mother-in-law is naturally good, and the daughter-in-law has no objection. Besides, the number of people in the palace is really thin. Waiting for these two My sister is here, and it will definitely be more lively than now."
The virtuous concubine was very satisfied with her sensibleness. The two women had already written letters to their families and knew that the matter was final, so they happily came to express their gratitude.
After all, the current Saint is already old, and even if he is favored, it will only last a few years. But that prince is different, especially since Prince Qi is the most likely person to ascend to the great treasure in the future, and he has a bright future.
After the matter was decided, Xian Concubine looked at Xie Ruzhuo with a smile and asked, "Do you want to hire some maids to serve in Prince Jing's palace?"
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo replied without mercy, "Prince Jing's Mansion now has enough manpower, and there is no need for maids to do odd jobs."
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Xian suddenly had a look of confusion on her face, as she said, "What Princess Jing said is a bit ignorant. Now that you are pregnant, how could it be possible that you would ask Prince Jing not to touch women for ten months?" What? The most important thing for a woman is to be virtuous and generous. How can you take care of the backyard if you are so jealous?"
What she said was a bit explicit and a bit too much. It's just that the wise concubine used the word "jealousy" to silence Xie Ruzhuo and slapped a big label on her casually.
Xie Ruzhuo sneered, rolled his eyebrows, looked at Concubine Ye and said, "Concubine, Zhuo'er has a stomachache."
When she said this, Concubine Ye immediately took back what she wanted to say and asked with concern, "What's going on? But you were frozen just now?"
Xie Ruzhuo shook his head and said with a look of tears on his face, "The doctor said that I have been in poor health recently and it is not suitable to be angry. I think I was angry just now."
She didn't say who made her angry, but as soon as the wise concubine finished speaking, she felt a stomachache. This was not something anyone with a discerning eye could understand.
Hearing this, Concubine Ye looked at Xian Concubine with an unhappy look in her eyes, and said, "Now that the people in Prince Qi's Mansion have been selected, after the Imperial Palace consults with the Emperor tomorrow, the next decree will be sent to them. That's Prince Qi's Mansion. If Concubine Xian is fine, you can take Princess Qi and leave first."
With that said, she didn't wait for the wise concubine to speak, then looked at the chamberlain supervisor beside her and said, "Ride back to the palace and choose an imperial doctor to treat the princess. She is carrying the king's legitimate son, so there can be no delay!"
Concubine Ye's words were like a slap in the face, hitting the wise concubine hard in the face. Not only did he scold her for being nosy, but he was also displeased that she almost harmed Prince Jing and his heirs, making the virtuous concubine feel like she had a lump in her throat, and she couldn't explain anything she wanted to.
As soon as Concubine Ye left, Concubine Xian had no reason to stay, so she immediately left with Concubine Qi. However, judging from the pace when she left, she probably had a suffocating feeling in her chest.
Xie Ruzhuo naturally knew that Concubine Xian would be unhappy at the moment, but the more unhappy Concubine Xian was, the happier she would be.
Thinking about it, Xie Ruzhuo's complexion also improved a lot.
By the time they arrived at Concubine Ye's bedroom, Xie Ruzhuo's face had already smiled again, and he saluted, "Thank you, Concubine, for tolerating Zhuo'er just now."
Seeing her charming smile, Concubine Ye sighed slightly and scolded with a smile, "You are a ghost."
Concubine Ye originally wanted to get angry when the Xian concubine-like hat was pulled off just now, but Xie Ruzhuo cleverly countered her, which made her feel relieved.
Seeing Xie Ruzhuo like this now, how could he be willing to blame her
Not long after, the imperial doctor came. After diagnosing and treating the pulse, he said with a respectful smile, "Your Majesty, please feel at ease. The baby in the princess's belly is stable and everything is fine."
After hearing this, Concubine Ye really felt relieved. She held Xie Ruzhuo's hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Zhuo'er. With my mother and concubine here, I won't let others get their wish."
She didn't say it clearly, but Xie Ruzhuo knew what she meant and solemnly thanked Concubine Ye. After finishing lunch with Concubine Ye, the two chatted some more. Seeing that Concubine Ye was a little sleepy, Xie Ruzhuo just got up and left.
Jiangzhu did not follow her when she was at Chuxiu Palace. When Qianbi helped her to the carriage, she saw Jiangzhu already waiting there.
Seeing Xie Ruzhuo, Jiang Zhu bowed first, and when there was no one around, he replied in a low voice, "Back to the princess, I just went to inquire about it and said that the fifth lady was screened out during the re-election yesterday. It's just that this The reason why he was screened out is a bit fishy."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo's eyes tightened and he asked, "What's the reason?"
Jiang Zhu was a little embarrassed and said, "The fifth lady was originally planning to dance during the re-examination. Who knew that Kui Shui was ahead of schedule and suffered from unbearable abdominal pain, which caused her movements to be erratic during the dance. The nanny who taught her didn't look good. Without any explanation, I packed her luggage and sent her out of the palace."
"Kui Shui in advance?"
Jiangzhu nodded and said, "Yes, Bai Yu seemed very nervous when I asked the question. I guess this matter has something to do with the third lady."
After hearing this, the handkerchief in Xie Ruzhuo's hand tightened. No wonder she felt a little proud when she saw Xie Rulan's eyebrows today. It seemed like she had succeeded in plotting against her family!
But this is not a bad thing after all. According to Xie Rufei's character, it may be difficult to survive in this deep palace. Now that he has been released, it is only right to find a good husband in the past two years.
Xie Ruzhuo thought about this and breathed a long sigh of relief. He let Jiangzhu help her onto the carriage and ordered, "When I return home later, take a century-old ginseng and send it to my second aunt. You know what to say." Bar?"
Jiang Zhu nodded and said with a smile, "I understand, Princess, don't worry."
After Xie Ruzhuo arranged these things, he went back to his house to rest.
Unexpectedly, not long after she fell asleep after a nap, when she was feeling confused, she saw Jiang Zhu running in panting, panting, "Princess, it's not good, the third master and the third lady are acting up and making trouble." Home!"
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo suddenly woke up and said, "What?"
Jiang Zhu took a deep breath and explained, "When I went to Xie's Mansion, the second lady was quarreling with the third lady. It is said that it was because the third lady made a mistake during the re-examination yesterday. As a result, for some reason it got involved in the separation of families. went."
After hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo didn't understand anything, so she made a decision immediately, "Let's go back."
Jiang Zhu was a little flustered before, but now she calmed down and asked cautiously, "Princess, is this inappropriate? You are a married girl after all."
Xie Ruzhuo put on his coat and said, "If such a big thing happened to the Xie family, why don't I go and take a look."
One thing she didn't say was that she was actually looking forward to the separation more than Xie Shensi's family. Now that Xie Rulan has entered the palace, judging from her temperament, she is definitely not someone who is willing to keep her peace. If something happens in the future and the family is separated, the Xie family can clean themselves up!
Seeing that Xie Ruzhuo had made up her mind, Jiang Zhu didn't do much to dissuade her, but carefully arranged her clothes. The master and servant got into the carriage and hurried towards Xie's mansion.
Just after passing the hanging flower gate of the second door, you can hear the noise inside. It is none other than Mr. Lu's loud voice.
"The daughter you gave birth to is incompetent and was screened out. Let me tell you, she didn't have the destiny to enter the palace and become a noble! You don't go back and look in the mirror yourself. A toad can't eat swan meat. In the end, you still blame someone else's swan for flying. Got high? What a joke!"
When Mr. Lu talked about rising, spitting stars almost flew all over the sky. She felt very confident when she thought that Xie Rulan had successfully entered the selection process and would become a noble person soon. When he looked at Mr. Li again, he held his waist with both hands, looking like he was going to fight for his life.
Mrs. Li was so angry that she was trembling with anger. She pointed at her nose and cursed, "Ms. Lu, do you want to be shameless? As your cousin, Xie Rulan doesn't support her sisters, so she gives me Fei. Her daughter’s food was laced with medicine! If she hadn’t used such despicable methods, it’s not certain whose daughter would have been driven back!”
After Xie Rufei was sent back last night, she just cried and fell asleep when she was tired from crying. She originally thought that Xie Rufei was too young to bear the stimulation, so she didn't take it seriously at the time.
Who would have thought that this morning, after Xie Rufei's red eyes told her everything that happened in the palace, Li discovered that the reason why Xie Rufei was screened out was actually because of Xie Rulan's dirty tricks!
Although she feels sorry for her daughter and is unwilling to ask her to enter the palace to accompany the emperor, it does not mean that she can let her daughter be bullied! Especially since this person is the mother and daughter of the Lu family!
When she thought of this, Mrs. Li became very angry. When she saw Mrs. Lu's villainous face, she wanted to step forward and tear her into pieces.
"That's because your daughter is incompetent. It's my Laner who remains in the palace now. I think you are jealous!" At this point, Mrs. Lu sneered again and said proudly, "In short, the matter has been settled. Now It's useless what you say. If I were you, I'd better get out of those crooked melons and crack dates and marry my daughter off as soon as possible, so as not to end up like an old girl again!"
