What's more, she is the daughter-in-law of the royal family. Even if she is divorced, she will not dare to marry again in the future. If she hadn't been forced to panic, how could she have ruined her life like this
But then again, this result may be for the best. Even if she never marries, she can still live her whole life safely in her parents' family. But in Prince Qi's Mansion, this life will be taken into account at some point.
Xie Ruzhuo was a little dazed for a moment, but Xiao Xinning dangled in front of her eyes. Seeing that she had come to her senses, he comforted her, "Don't worry, Sister-in-law, the concubine has promised not to let the side room in, so you don't have to worry." ." As she said this, she thought for a while and then said, "In the future, if my brother marries another woman, as long as they dare to bully you, I will be the first one not to spare them!"
Seeing how generous she was, Xie Ruzhuo laughed a little, because he nodded and said, "Okay, okay, our seventh princess is the most powerful. The emperor's wife will have to rely on you in the future."
After these words, the two of them forgot about it for the time being and turned to other things.
Women always talk the most about each other, and they lose track of time while talking.
After Xie Ruzhuo came out of the Princess Palace, he realized that it was already getting late. If she hadn't been thinking about going to greet Concubine Ye, Xiao Xinning wouldn't have let her go.
It's just that this girl is young, has the mentality of a child, and is straightforward, so Xie Ruzhuo is willing to play with her.
The snow in the palace has been swept away, and the silver-covered trees decorate the already beautiful imperial garden even more like a fairyland on earth.
The most prosperous and royal family.
Xie Ruzhuo looked at the unique scenery in front of him and hesitated for a moment, and his walking pace slowed down.
Jiang Zhu was a little worried, and kept saying, "Princess, the cold outside has come down. Let's walk faster. It will be bad if we catch the cold."
Even though Xie Ruzhuo wanted to see the scenery, he couldn't resist Jiang Zhu's urging, so he had no choice but to say, "Okay, okay, but you have to watch the road if you go faster. It's freezing and snowy. If I walk too fast, you'll have to worry about me."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhu sighed and saw that Xie Ruzhuo had a childish look on his face. He finally compromised and said, "I will accompany you for a walk over there. There is a plum forest over there and the wind is lighter."
Xie Ruzhuo immediately smiled.
Since she became pregnant, people around her have been extremely strict with her and must be cautious in every move she makes. It was a rare opportunity to see the scenery today, and Xie Ruzhuo's mood instantly improved.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Zhu could only shake his head secretly. Xie Ruzhuo is not as good as before now, and she is most afraid of catching the cold now that she is pregnant. Unfortunately, her master has a boring temper, which really makes things difficult for them.
The master and servant each had their own thoughts, but they were silent for a while.
Unexpectedly, someone broke Xie Ruzhuo's rare quiet time.
"Fourth sister?"
A woman's probing voice came, and she shouted out as if to confirm.
Xie Ruzhuo looked up and saw a woman walking out of the Xiaonuan Pavilion on the side. She was dressed in a Liuyun dark brocade palace dress and a large satin fox culottes pleated cloak. A thin layer of powder was applied to her face. She no longer looked domineering as before, but instead had a touch of the softness of a Jiangnan woman.
Xie Ruzhuo couldn't recognize it for a moment. Is this still the same Xie Rulan who seemed to be superior to others in everything
However, Xie Rulan had already walked over quickly, held her arm affectionately, and said with a soft smile, "I thought I was wrong just now. I didn't expect it to be you. I have never seen any relatives in the past few days since I entered the palace. It’s such an unexpected surprise to see you today.”
As he got closer, he could smell the faint fragrance of Xie Rulan, which was not as pungent as before.
But countless warning lights lit up in Xie Ruzhuo's heart, and he took a step back without leaving a trace, leaving Xie Rulan's touch range, and asked, "Nobleman Lan is not staying in his palace, what are you doing out here in such freezing weather? "
Xie Rulan also felt her alienation and smiled bitterly, "How can I have a place in the palace? Forget about me, is my sister here to pay my respects to the imperial concubine?"
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo just nodded lightly and said, "Yes, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"Sister, don't leave in a hurry. It's hard for me to see my relatives. How about we catch up on old times?" Seeing that she was about to leave, Xie Rulan's eyes suddenly became panicked and she looked like she was about to cry.
But after seeing what Xie Rulan looked like in the past, Xie Ruzhuo really couldn't be deceived by this face, and immediately asked, "I don't know what the old lady wants to tell me about? How did you design your sister to make her lose the election? Or how your mother aggressively caused a scandal of family separation?"
Her words broke her face, and the pity on Xie Rulan's face disappeared in an instant, and she said with a sullen face, "Xie Ruzhuo, you are always so aloof and arrogant, I really don't know what is so majestic about you! No matter what, I am still your cousin. I have been so humble and petty, but you are so disrespectful to me. Don’t you just think that you are a princess? What’s so great about it!”
As soon as she said this, Xie Ruzhuo became very angry, "What you said is surprising. Have I ever done anything wrong to you?"
She originally thought it was strange that Xie Rulan appeared here, but now that she saw her like this, she became even more convinced.
Xie Rulan gritted her teeth, forced herself to suppress the anger in her heart, and said, "I just want to ask you one thing, can you do me a favor?"
This was the first time that Xie Ruzhuo had seen such a request from someone, but she was also curious about what purpose Xie Rulan had deliberately blocking her here, so she immediately said, "Tell me about it."
Xie Ruzhuo said this, but Xie Rulan was a little embarrassed, and it took him a long time to say, "Can you say something nice for me in front of Concubine Ye, and let me see the emperor?"
Her status is too low and she is not qualified to see Concubine Ye. Moreover, within two days of her entering the palace, there was a family separation in the third room. Although the inside story was unknown, the rumors that people speculated had already spread throughout the capital.
Emperor Jing originally had the intention to favor Xie Rulan, but after hearing this message, he immediately lost his good impression of Xie Rulan.
What kind of good daughter can a son who can aggressively force his father to separate the family raise
Therefore, since Xie Rulan entered the palace until now, she has not even seen Emperor Jing, let alone favored him.
When she said this, Xie Ruzhuo understood.
Because she couldn't get favor from herself, she wanted to ask for some favor from Concubine Ye.
Thinking about it, Xie Ruzhuo laughed a little angrily, "I would like to ask Mr. Lan, as Princess Jing, Concubine Ye is my mother to me, and the Emperor is my father to me, in what capacity can I ask my mother to be my concubine?" say?"
She said this so straightforwardly that Xie Rulan's face immediately turned pale. She gritted her teeth and said, "Xie Ruzhuo, don't bully others too much!"
Xie Ruzhuo didn't bother to talk to her anymore, and simply said with a cold face, "If Mr. Lan has such thoughts, it's better to work harder on your own. You pretend to be superficial, but you can't learn the fundamentals. You are cynical in your heart. No matter how you change it, You're so weak, I'm afraid my father won't even look at you, so I'd better accept your thoughts and be content, maybe you'll be blessed in the future."
Xie Ruzhuo's words are indeed true. Even if Xie Rulan enters the palace, as long as she lives in peace and contentment, she may not be able to enjoy her old age after Emperor Jing returns to the west.
But if she is dishonest and wants to use some dirty tricks, no one knows what she will get in the end!
Xie Ruzhuo thought he had said everything he should say, but Xie Rulan didn't think she was well-intentioned. She also felt that Xie Ruzhuo was laughing at herself. She was so angry that she trembled all over. She pointed at Xie Ruzhuo and said, "Okay, okay, I want to see it." Let’s see what kind of good ending you can have! I’ll wait and see!”
After she said this, she turned around and left, leaving only Xie Ruzhuo behind.
After this incident, no matter how good the scenery was, it changed its taste. Xie Ruzhuo didn't bother to look any further, and just snorted and said, "Jiangzhu, let's go."
This Xie Rulan is so ignorant that she is asking for help on her own head. She is really desperate to climb up!
Jiang Zhu frowned and said, "Princess, as the saying goes, the king of hell is better than the devil. Now that noble Lan has been humiliated by you, it's hard to say whether he will hold a grudge in his heart. You'd better avoid her when you meet her in the future." good."
Xie Ruzhuo sneered and said, "Let me see if she dares." But in his heart, he was concerned about Jiang Zhu's words. Logically speaking, Xie Rulan is so shameless that she would not beg in front of him. Is it possible that she really can't live her life now
But this day was her choice. She wanted to enter the palace for nothing, and now she had to bear the consequences after entering the palace.
The so-called pitiable people must be hateful, that's it.
Xie Rulan had prepared a lot of words in his heart, but in the end he was so provoked by Xie Ruzhuo that he didn't even say a word. Instead, he went back to his dormitory angrily.
Jadeite had been waiting anxiously at the door. When she saw Xie Rulan coming back, she immediately greeted him. She was about to say something, but after seeing Xie Rulan's face, Jadeite's heart suddenly sank. It's over. The master may have made a mistake.
She didn't dare to say anything, so she just welcomed Xie Rulan in, brought hot tea, put her hands in front of Xie Rulan's face, and said softly, "Master, please warm your hands first."
This dormitory is only twenty square meters in size, with tables, chairs and other items sparsely placed inside. Except for a few red plums placed in a vase on the window sill that are still alive, the rest of the place looks full. air of gloominess.
Xie Rulan took the tea and drank it subconsciously. Before Jade could remind him, Xie Rulan spat out the water and threw the teacup towards Jade, cursing, "You bastard, you want to burn him to death." Me!"
Jade didn't dare to dodge, so she knelt down and said, "Master, please calm down, it's all my fault."
Xie Rulan had a fit, his eyes were red with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Now that vile thing dares to ride on my head, let's see how long you can be proud of it!"
Although she looked at Jade, she was talking about Xie Ruzhuo. Jade sighed in her heart and had to patiently coax Xie Rulan until Xie Rulan took off her shoes and socks and lay on the bed. Jade lowered the curtain for her before going out.
There was no fire in the hall, and it was not much colder outside than inside. There was a chill everywhere.
Jade glanced back at Xie Rulan, who was still sleeping in the palace, sighed softly, and hesitated again. But when he thought of his master's current situation, he decided to head towards Concubine Ye's palace.
