When greeting the queen, as expected, many concubines stabbed Zhuang Luoyan with soft knives in the name of concern, among them Yangui and Su Xiuyi were the most serious. Zhuang Luoyan didn't have to do anything, just looked like he was hit, which fulfilled the other party's idea of not wanting to make him feel better, and also fulfilled the dejected appearance after the miscarriage.
As for the other concubines, they watched the scene with joy, and the two did not help each other.
After watching the play for a while, the queen saw that Zhuang Luoyan's face became more and more ugly before she said: "The day after tomorrow will be the New Year, we should go to the queen mother to greet her."
Zhuang Luoyan raised her eyebrows in surprise, she thought the queen mother was in seclusion. Thinking about the incident that the queen mother suddenly intervened in the harem a few days ago, and inexplicably returned to the Kang'an Palace to worship the Buddha, and no longer interfered in the affairs of the harem, Zhuang Luoyan was a little puzzled, and she didn't know whether it was the queen or the emperor who let her take it. hand.
There is also the eunuch who was struck to death by lightning inexplicably outside the Taoyu Pavilion. Why did the queen mother blame a palace maid for no reason? This is really not in line with the empress dowager's charitable appearance.
Seeing Zhuang Luoyan's head buried in silence, Yangui's concubine thought that she hadn't recovered from the shock of the miscarriage, so she smiled and said, "Zhao Xiuyi doesn't look good, but she doesn't feel well?"
"Thank you for your concern, concubine Yangui, I'm fine." Zhuang Luoyan forced a smile, and as everyone got up, anyone could see that she had not recovered from her weak appearance.
Concubine Yangui watched Zhuang Luoyan walk out with the hand of the palace maid, and snorted coldly: "Who do you show that pitiful appearance to?"
Concubine Rou, who passed by her side, raised her eyebrows and glanced at her, and said in a low voice with a half-smile, "You don't like to watch it, others just like to watch it."
Whoever Concubine Rou said was someone else, and everyone who heard it knew in their hearts. Concubine Yangui stared at Zhuang Luoyan's back unwillingly, and then looked at Concubine Rou, who was smiling but not smiling, and pouted to follow everyone.
The Queen Mother's Kang'an Palace had a faint scent of sandalwood. Zhuang Luoyan lowered her eyebrows and listened to the Queen Mother and the Queen's cordial greetings.
"Aijia heard that Zhao Chongyi had a miscarriage?" The queen mother finally brought the topic to Zhuang Luoyan.
Everyone present knew that the Ye family was the mother of the Queen Mother, and the Ye family sisters were demoted before and after, all of which were related to petty births. dislike.
The queen's expression did not change and she replied, "Mother, the emperor had Jinzhuang sister as Xiuyi a few days ago."
"Oh, the Aijia didn't know about this, but the Aijia heard that the elegy was downgraded to a nobleman, what's going on?" The queen mother stopped the queen from speaking and looked at Zhuang Luoyan, "Zhao Chongyi, come here. Tell me what happened?"
In the face of the queen mother who still called herself a concubine, Zhuang Luoyan did not feel embarrassed, she stood up and saluted the queen mother: "Back to the queen mother, the emperor decides this matter, the concubine does not know the reason, the concubine believes that the emperor must have a reason for his actions. ."
The empress dowager's face was gloomy. This Zhuang Luoyan obviously took the emperor to block her mouth, but she couldn't say that the emperor's will was wrong. Thinking of the things the emperor showed her at the beginning, the empress dowager had to hold back her anger temporarily. "In this case, when the emperor comes to greet him, Aijia will ask him."
Although the queen mother did not deliberately embarrass Zhao Xiuyi, everyone present understood that the queen mother was not happy with Zhao Xiuyi. It's a pity that the queen mother ignores the harem affairs, otherwise they can watch a few good shows.
Ye Ronghua's face was the same as usual, and he didn't panic because of the Queen Mother's words. It really made people unable to see that Ye Yangge was so completely because of her.
The queen sneered and glanced at the queen mother. Others did not know that she knew very well that the relationship between the emperor and the mother and son of the queen mother was not so deep, and even the greetings did not come every day. If the queen mother wanted to ask the emperor for this kind of thing, It will only arouse the emperor's disgust even more.
The Ye family is no longer the same as it used to be, and the emperor's surname is Feng instead of Ye. The empress dowager only thinks about the scenery of her parents' family, but forgets this point.
"Aijia is tired, you all kneel down, Ye Ronghua and Ye Guiren stay."
When Zhuang Luoyan walked to the door, she looked back at the sisters of the Ye family. The Queen Mother so blatantly left the sisters of the Ye family alone after the concubines and concubines asked for peace. Did she want to add to the emperor's heart
After leaving the Kang'an Palace with the scent of sandalwood, Tingzhu put a thick cloak on Zhuang Luoyan, carefully helped her onto the chariot, and instructed the eunuch who carried the chariot, "The ground is slippery, you all be careful."
"Respectfully send Zhao Xiuyi off." Jiang Xianconcubine and some low-ranking concubines saluted respectfully, and watched Zhuang Luoyan and his party leave.
"Look at her frivolous appearance," Su Xiuyi sat on the chariot with an angry face, "Go back to the palace!"
Jiang Xianbi and others saluted again, looking at Su Xiuyi's back, Jiang Xianbi lowered her eyelids, with this brain, it's no wonder that she is a cousin with Concubine Shu, and she is not inferior in appearance. In the end, one was a concubine and the other was just Xiuyi.
Inside Kang'an Palace, the Empress Dowager pointed at Ye Ronghua with an ugly face, and said sternly, "Tell me about what you have done, what's the use of your two sisters being so low in the harem now?"
Ye Ronghua pouted and said, "But I didn't expect the emperor to punish my sister. I thought that if the palace maid was exposed, the emperor would look at me more."
"What kind of brain are you, that palace maid is a big palace maid to be used by your sister, will the emperor attack your sister?!" The Empress Dowager was so angry that she smashed the jade Ruyi out of her hand, and the jade handle hit Ye Ronghua's forehead, and the blood was immediately dripping. .
Seeing her like this, the queen mother waved her hand impatiently, "Get out of Aijia!"
When Ye Ronghua left, the queen mother looked coldly at Ye Yangge, who she never liked very much, "You are also useless, so step back."
Ye Guiren's complexion turned pale, and he retreated with a gloomy expression.
"Master, is your forehead alright? This servant will let you pass the imperial physician." The maid next to Ye Ronghua worriedly looked at the blood-stained silk on the wound.
"It's alright," Ye Ronghua covered her forehead calmly, "not to mention that now that I am disgusted by the emperor, there are no good imperial doctors willing to come, and I don't rarely have them come to make up the number if my medical skills are not very good."
"But..." Ye Ronghua stopped the palace maid without speaking.
"No need to say any more," Ye Ronghua sat on the chariot with a calm expression, looking at the white snow on the ground, "It was destined for a good ending, so that's fine."
She has also been favored, and when she is favored, everyone flatters, please keep on. Now that she is out of favor, let alone flattery, even the daily expenses are not deducted because she is the niece of the queen mother. Now even the queen mother hates her, I am afraid that the life of the harem will be light.
But even so, it's better than losing his life in the end. The queen mother's aunt may not have figured it out yet, but she can see clearly that the emperor cannot tolerate the Ye family. Just like the Zhao family cannot be tolerated.
Ye Ronghua and Zhuang Luoyan didn't have much intersection, so when they met on the same road, she only saw this Zhao Xiuyi who was constantly being favored. The appearance is not a harem, and even her complexion looks a little bad because of the miscarriage. How did such a woman get promoted from Wanyi to Xiuyi in just one year
Zhuang Luoyan also didn't expect to meet Ye Ronghua on the road, who took advantage of her petty childbirth. The other party stepped down and asked Anto for himself before he could react.
"Ye Ronghua doesn't need to be too polite," Zhuang Luoyan looked at this man with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes. In just half a year, this man seemed to have washed away all the prettiness, as if she was originally like this, and the publicity in the past was just a slap in the face. mask.
Ye Ronghua still got up after bowing, his eyes always fell on Zhuang Luoyan's chin, and he did not look at each other, "I have never met Zhao Xiuyi by chance, my concubine is disrespectful."
"Ye Ronghua has a lot of blood from the wound on his forehead, can it be passed on to an imperial doctor?" Zhuang Luoyan didn't think about which look is the real Ye Ronghua. In this harem, there are too many women acting, if they are unnecessary, they are curious. Still don't take it too seriously.
"Thank you Zhao Xiuyi for your concern, but it's just an accidental wound, it's not serious." Ye Ronghua replied in a flat tone.
Zhuang Luoyan turned his head to a eunuch behind him and said, "This is not good, women's faces are the most sloppy, go to the imperial hospital and ask Imperial Physician Hu to show Ye Ronghua a look, and tell him to treat him carefully." After speaking, he turned to Ye Ronghua again Said, "The emperor has a decree to summon him, so I will stay soon."
"Respectfully send Zhao Xiuyi off." Ye Ronghua watched Zhao Xiuyi be carefully waited on by the maid and eunuch to leave, with an indescribably complicated expression on her face.
"Master, Imperial Physician Hu is the best at healing the skin, so you won't leave scars now." The palace maid said happily.
Without the emperor's favor, what difference does it make if there are scars on the face? Ye Ronghua sat back on the chariot and said calmly, "Go back."
When Zhuang Luoyan entered the Qianzheng Palace, he saw the emperor sitting comfortably in the old man's chair. Several stunning dancers were dancing softly. The musicians on the side were playing music.
"The concubine has seen the emperor." Before Zhuang Luoyan finished the ceremony, the emperor pulled her to sit down on his lap, "This dance was rehearsed by Yuefu Xin, I see that you like watching these dances, so I will let you first Come and see."
How could Zhuang Luoyan be so embarrassed to tell the other party that what he watched was not a dance, but a dancing beauty, but he was not stupid enough to spoil the emperor's interest.
Sitting on the human flesh mat, Zhuang Luoyan played the role of a qualified concubine, watching the beauties spinning and bending with great interest. It was really indescribably comfortable, and even the emperor ignored her playing with her hands.
She intuitively told her that the emperor asked her to come, not just to watch a dance music.
After all... With the emperor's complex IQ, he couldn't do such a simple thing.
