"She's just a stepping stone for Concubine Ruan. Without her, Concubine Ruan would still be able to find someone else. Xia Houqing has placed far more people than you think over the years."
"But master, what should we do now?" Is it really necessary to watch the old emperor accept his master as his concubine
"There is no way." Lou Qingwu stood up lazily, walked to the window lattice, poked the candle wick with a golden hairpin, and the fire suddenly lit up, "Emperor Zong doesn't necessarily treat someone with my appearance like me. He really likes it. He likes it, but Concubine Ying is such a little girl that I feel pity for. Since Concubine Ying is so impatient to set up a matchmaker for Emperor Zong, how can she be disappointed?"
"Master, what do you want to do?" Qianmian's eyes lit up immediately.
"Tell Quemei, she's been waiting for so long, she can... start acting." Lou Qingwu smiled, looking up at the dark sky.
He murmured, "It's going to change."
"Huh?" Qianmian was taken aback, Quemei? I suddenly remembered the woman whose face was disfigured back then, and now I don't even remember her appearance after changing her face. It seems that I only vaguely remember the face of a girl. After thinking about it, my heart trembled. Is the master going to...
Having figured it out, Qianmian nodded immediately: "Yes, this subordinate will inform Quemei right away."
The sky was dark, and the dim starlight made people almost breathless. In the small room of a servant girl in the side hall of Liuhua Palace, a carrier pigeon fluttered its wings and flew on the window lattice. The carrier pigeon was caught in her hands. The woman's hands were white and immature, her skin was as creamy as jade, and there were hardly any scars. Looking up again, she revealed a half-drooped little face, because she had been lowering her eyes timidly, unable to see her face clearly, and did not pay attention to the maidservants. His demeanor is a little more majestic and honorable, and there is not even a little bit of cowardice.
She slowly took out the letterhead tied to the carrier pigeon's foot, and unfolded it.
His eyes fell on the word "action" on it, and he slowly smiled, but the smile was too sad and cruel, making his face, which was originally as clear as a snow lotus, even more ferocious.
She let go of her hand slowly, couldn't help but walked to the vanity mirror, touched the strange yet somewhat familiar face in the mirror, and laughed softly, the sound of "creaking" was very ghostly, her eyes were half drooping, Staring at the face in the mirror, he slowly reached out his hand and touched it.
Finally... She's about to make a move.
Five watch the next day.
The first ray of clear sunlight shone outside the bedroom of Liuhua Palace, casting a faint golden glow.
Under the service of personal eunuchs and palace maids, Emperor Zong put on the dragon robe and prepared to go to the morning court, and waited for everything to be ready. Then he turned around, looked at Concubine Ying who was leaning on the couch, walked over, touched her tender face, "Yinger sleep again?"
"The concubine is waiting for the emperor."
Emperor Zong smiled, "Okay, I will have breakfast with you after the morning court."
"En." Concubine Ying snuggled into Emperor Zong's arms with a shy smile on her face, and the two became intimate again as if no one was there.
It wasn't until the time was almost up that Emperor Zong Longyan stepped out of the bedroom door coldly.
It's just that he just turned a corner, and before he walked out of Liuhua Palace, a petite figure bumped into him accidentally, Emperor Zong frowned back and dodged, his dragon eyes narrowed dangerously.
The palace maid was terrified, quickly raised her head and glanced at Emperor Zong, knelt down with a "plop", trembling with fright, kept kowtowing: "The emperor spares my life, the emperor spares my life! This servant didn't mean it, my majesty spared my life!"
Eunuch Li, who was next to Emperor Zong, glared at the palace maid, his eyes turned hard, and he waved to the eunuch beside him, who was about to pull the maid down.
It was only at this time that Emperor Zong, who had inadvertently seen the maidservant's face in a daze for a long time, reacted.
"Wait."
"Your Majesty?" Eunuch Li bowed his waist, "Does Your Majesty have any other orders?"
Emperor Zong didn't pay attention to him, but stared blankly at the kneeling maid, the panicked little face that looked up just now flashed in his mind, his eyes seemed to be somewhat nostalgic.
"You, look up."
"I dare not..." The servant girl trembled timidly, and Emperor Zong's heart was inexplicably touched by her humble appearance.
"Look up, I forgive you for your innocence."
The palace maid then trembled, and slowly raised her head. The moment she raised her eyes, she was graceful and graceful, with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes, shy and embarrassed, but trembling with a little uneasiness, and timidly looked at Emperor Zong like a small animal. With a glance, Emperor Zong's heart was scratched, and he was fascinated immediately. What's more, such a somewhat similar face made him feel as if he had returned to the past, and suddenly looked younger.
It was a rare occurrence to bend down and personally help the servant girl up.
Maybe it was because of kneeling for a long time, when the maid got up, she staggered unbearably, and was hugged tightly by Emperor Zong.
Emperor Zong couldn't bear to let go of the smooth, boneless little hands. With a thought, he asked softly, "You, what's your name?"
The palace maid was extremely shy, her face was blushing brightly, and after a long time, she whispered: "...Slave, Que, Quemei."
—Loufu, Fuxi Court.
Ruan Zhen looked anxiously at the breakfast in front of her, her brows were deeply furrowed, and finally she waved her hand: "Leave them all, I have no appetite."
"Second Madam, you should eat some at least, in two days it will be the Second Miss' big day." Ruan Zhen's maid could not help but comfort her.
"Get out." Mentioning Lou Lianxin made Ruan Zhen lose her appetite even more.
Seeing that the day of the big wedding is approaching, but the dowry promised by the eldest brother has not yet been delivered, Ruan Zhen becomes more and more uneasy as she thinks about it, and the words of that little bitch Lou Qingwu flashed through her mind from time to time, uneasy, and finally violently Standing up abruptly, "Tell the butler to prepare, Mrs. Ben is going to visit the Ruan Mansion."
"This... yes, this servant will go and order."
Ruan Zhen tightened the handkerchief in her hand, reassuring herself that nothing would go wrong.
She has already gone to check, the mother Gu is fine, the eldest brother will definitely send the promised dowry!
With such thoughts in mind, Ruan Zhen went to Ruan's house. The head of the Ruan family did not reject Ruan Zhen this time, and invited Ruan Zhen into the main hall of the main courtyard, but Ruan Zhen also waited for a full hour before she came. I saw Ruan Xiuren coming late.
Her patience had long been exhausted, and when she saw Ruan Xiuren, she frowned coldly.
"Brother, it's really late." The woman is still in a coma, can he sleep soundly
Ruan Xiuren didn't seem to be able to hear the obvious irony in this sentence, and smiled generously at Ruan Zhen, his stern brows and eyes were actually a little softer.
Ruan Zhen was taken aback for a moment, then frowned.
Why did she feel that her elder brother's reaction today was so strange? How could he give her a good face after designing that woman herself
The next moment, a gentle voice appeared behind Ruan Xiuren: "Zhen'er, you are here."
