Ruan Xian Biography [Qing·Nara Queen]

After coming down to court, Hongli was worried about Concubine Mo, so he hurriedly wanted to return to Concubine Mo's bedroom as soon as possible.

When he was halfway on the way, Hongli suddenly remembered that he had just left the morning court, so he rushed to her bedroom in such a hurry, if there was no legitimate reason, it would be against the general principle.

After thinking about it, Hongli only thought of the excuse of reward, and immediately stopped, and told the caring eunuch beside him: "You send someone to the treasury to get some gold and silver jewels, and the last time the subordinate country sent it I also brought a pair of purple jade gold hairpins, I intend to reward Concubine Mo today, so go and return quickly."

The eunuch bowed and turned to leave.In order to wait for the eunuch to get everything done, there will be no gap in time.Hongli suppressed the anxiety in his heart and slowed down his pace.

After a while, the eunuch took the two maids and finished displaying all the things. He lifted the plate held by the maid, and there were some gold and silver jewels and the pair of purple jade gold hairpins neatly stacked under the red silk.

Hongli nodded in satisfaction, and strode towards Concubine Mo's bedroom.As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Concubine Mo walking out from inside. Judging from his expression, Yuan Li probably didn't say anything to him.

Hongli was determined, so he put away the hidden worries in his heart, and smiled softly at Concubine Mo who was standing in front of him: "There are a lot of affairs at the court this morning, so it took some time to deal with the matter. However, I intend to reward you today, so I squeezed out the time just after the morning court, and came to visit."

Concubine Mo's eyes darkened a little, although he didn't know what Hongli was thinking, but he understood the saying that no merit is rewarded.

Yuan Li once told him before, let him take care of Hongli, after all, as the king of a country, the country should be put first, and the relationship between children and other things is insignificant in front of the whole world.

However, he has known Hongli for so long, and he knows that Hongli is a person who values ​​love and righteousness and misses old love very much. Therefore, it is reasonable for him to find an excuse to come here and give himself a reward.

"The concubine is terrified. Recently, the concubine has done mediocre things and has no credit at all. How can I accept the reward for no reason."

Concubine Mo's tone was humble, and her voice was more or less cold. After listening to Concubine Mo's words, Hongli frowned slightly. It seemed that Yuan Li had indeed explained something to Concubine Mo when he came over.

Thinking of this, Hongli snorted coldly in his heart, and the displeasure on his face became more intense.

"When I say I will give you a reward, I am giving you a reward. If you dare to refuse it, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor. The reward does not necessarily depend on the reason, but mainly on the result. The result I want is to let you stand in front of me. Accept these rewards, do you know?"

Concubine Mo's heart trembled, and from Hongli's tone, he could hear that he was already a little angry when faced with such an answer, not to mention that there were maids and followers behind him.

In front of so many people, the king of a country lost face. It was really because he didn't think carefully. He sighed helplessly in his heart, but he still didn't put away the gold, silver and jewelry that Hongli wanted to reward him.

"Returning to the emperor, the country, the country, and the merits of the future. All the big and small affairs of the court need money as a backdrop. The emperor's rewards are appreciated by the courtiers and concubines. But I hope the emperor will think of the people of the world and use these gold and silver treasures where they are needed. .”

Hongli originally thought that with the anger on his face, Concubine Mo would obediently submit and accept the reward, but he did not expect that Concubine Mo still insisted on her point of view and did not accept the gift.

"You are really an extraordinary woman. You dare to refuse my reward. You did a great job!"

After Hongli said this sentence word by word, he turned and left.Back in his imperial study, Hongli still couldn't swallow the anger in his heart, after thinking for a while, he turned around and ordered people to call Yuanli into the palace quickly.

At the same time, after Hongli turned and left, Concubine Mo also felt Hongli's anger, and sighed helplessly in her heart, but she did not regret the choice she made on this matter, but in her heart, a little Some worried, what unfriendly things would Hongli do to Yuanli?

Yuan Li quickly rushed to the palace, and after saluting, he stood on the spot and waited for Hongli to ask questions. Hongli was sitting at the main seat in the study at this time, holding a cup of fragrant tea in his hand, blowing hot air slowly.

Although he was drinking tea, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was just covering up the irrepressible anger in his heart.

"Imperial brother, I asked you to enter the palace this time because I want to ask you something."

Hongli's voice was without the slightest emotion, and the hidden anger was surging, causing the temperature in the entire palace to drop several degrees.

"The emperor has something to say, and my younger brother must know everything."

"When I went to the morning court this morning, I heard that you came to Concubine Mo's bedroom. I don't know what you said to Concubine Mo. He rejected all the rewards I gave him today. You know, I have no intention People can violate it, but once it is violated, it is the crime of deceiving the emperor—what kind of ecstasy drug did you give her to make him choose to risk the crime of deceiving the emperor and refuse my reward?"

Hongli's voice became more urgent and louder. It seemed that if Yuanli couldn't give himself a reasonable explanation this time, he would really explode.

Yuan Li had a clever mind, and quickly guessed the cause and effect of the whole thing. He raised his head, glanced at Hongli again, and already had a calculation in his heart: "Back to the emperor, my brother thinks that there is nothing wrong with Concubine Mo's actions. What he said is right, rewards can be given at any time, but the merits of Jiangshan Sheji will last forever, and should not be neglected. Although the love of children is true, Jiangshan Sheji needs your personal management and control."

Just as Yuan Li finished speaking, he heard a sneer from Hongli. He slammed the teacup in his hand on the table next to him.

Pieces of residue were scattered all over the place.Hongli's hand was also scratched twice due to excessive force, and blood flowed continuously.

Seeing this, the eunuch next to him hurried out.The dragon's body was injured, but it was a big mistake, so it was necessary to invite the imperial doctor as soon as possible to make an emergency diagnosis and bandage.

"Don't think that since you are my younger brother, I can't do anything to you. You are really a man with all-hands and eyes, and even meddle in the housework of my harem. You are really my own brother. You didn't treat me like an outsider!"

Yuan Li's heart trembled, he knew that his brother was really angry, but the expression on his face did not change at all, he smiled slightly, and when he cupped his hands and cupped his fists to explain something, the eunuch's voice came out again: "Concubine Mo is here."

It seemed that Concubine Mo was still worried, and followed Hongli shortly after he left his bedroom.

"The concubine sees the emperor. This time, the reason why I came here to delay your handling of state affairs is mainly because Yuan Li didn't say anything to me. All of this is just my own idea. The concubine does not ask for much gold and silver. As long as there is The emperor alone is enough.

But the emperor is not just a courtier or concubine, you also have the whole world, as well as the common people, so, Wannian Dajimin is the leader, please stop scolding Yuan Li. "

The emperor was furious, which was considered a major event in the entire court, not to mention this time, the object of the emperor's scolding was his younger brother, and this incident was all caused by Concubine Mo.

At this time, the morning court had just finished, and some of the ministers were still discussing matters outside the door and did not leave for the time being. After hearing the news of the emperor's anger, they saw Concubine Mo and Yuan Li entering the imperial study successively. Can guess what happened.

All of a sudden, the ministers who had not dispersed outside were discussing a lot, and their comments on Concubine Mo became more and more belittled.

Although Hongli did not directly blame Concubine Mo, his method of calling Yuan Li to question him also proved his own anger at Concubine Mo's refusal to accept his reward.

But now that the three of them have arrived, they have said what should be said, and what should be scolded. No matter what Yuan Li said, he is still a member of the royal family. In order to take care of the royal face, he had no choice but to put the matter to rest , pressed in the stomach.

There was a look of warning in Hongli's eyes, he walked up to Yuan Li, and said, "From today onwards, I hope you will stop making claims and interfering in any of my decisions. You must always remember that I am the king. , you are Chen, the responsibility of a courtier, to share your worries."

Yuan Li knew his feelings for Concubine Mo, and he also understood what he said in his heart. After nodding slightly, he bowed his hands and said: "My brother remembers."

I thought this matter would end here, but at this moment, the eunuch who was on duty outside the door walked in tremblingly, Hongli saw the eunuch walking in inexplicably, and asked, "What's the matter with you coming in?" ?”

The eunuch tremblingly prostrated himself on the ground, and said: "My Majesty, the ministers outside have already known what happened in the imperial study, and they are discussing it outside now, and they all say..."

"What did they say?"

There was a trace of impatience in Hongli's eyes, and his voice became cold again.

"They all said that Concubine Mo had impure motives and used her beauty to seduce the emperor, causing conflicts between the emperor and her siblings, and causing trouble for the court."

As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, Hongli flew into a rage.This matter was originally a private matter of their family, but they did not expect that the ministers who went to the early court did not leave completely, but guessed the general situation of the whole matter and commented on it here.

"What the hell! I'm going out now to find out which ministers are bewitching the public. Once I find out those who spread rumors, I will punish the Nine Clans!"

After Hongli finished speaking, he ignored Concubine Mo and Yuan Li who were still standing in the imperial study room, turned his head and was about to go out, but Concubine Mo gently held her back: "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be done."

"Prince Concubine, Empress Ruan Shu called you into the palace. She said that she had been alone in the harem for a long time, and she wanted to meet Princess Concubine, chat and relieve loneliness." The eunuch said in a high-pitched and thin voice.

Ruan Xian raised her hand and pinched the center of her brow, and said in a weary voice, "Okay, I got it, let me tell you, my princess, I will be there later."

She raised her eyes and saw that the eunuch hadn't left yet, so she waved her hand in annoyance, and the maid next to her came up and handed him a piece of silver.The eunuch's face was almost wrinkled from laughter, and he hurriedly said: "Thank you, ma'am, thank you, ma'am."

"These eunuchs are really domineering things." Yuan Li next to him revealed a trace of disgust in his eyes, "I really don't know what else they have in their hearts besides money."

Ruan Xian sighed: "Everyone has to make a living."

Yuan Li was a little worried, and asked Ruan Xian, "Are you going to see Ruan Shu today?"

"The lady in the palace called me, how dare I not go." Ruan Xian laughed jokingly, and saw the worry in the eyes of the opposite person in a blink of an eye, don't ruin the calm tone before, "It's okay, nothing will happen to me of."

Yuan Li smiled helplessly, reached out and tapped the tip of Ruan Xian's nose: "Don't cause any trouble this time, I don't have so much free time to collect your corpse."

in the palace.

Before Ruan Xian stepped into the gate of Ruan Shu Palace, she heard the voices of the people inside.

"Oh, this Ruan Shu, there are others..."

"And the princess to—"

Seeing that it was Ruan Xian, Ruan Shu had a false smile on her face: "Sister is here." She was dressed gracefully and luxuriously today, and there were countless layers of makeup on her face.It seems that they want to deliberately suppress Ruan Xian with their clothes.

Ruan Xian's clothes today are plain and clean, and compared to Ruan Shu, she is a bit more fairy-like.

Ruan Xian saluted slightly, then turned her gaze to the woman next to her.

"Concubine Zhu?" Ruan Xian raised her eyebrows.She still had a good impression of Concubine Zhu, and today was too coincidental.

"Meet Princess He." Concubine Zhu saluted with a gentle smile.

Ruan Xian waved her hand: "No need. They are all sisters from my own family, so why do you need so many etiquettes? You just need to call me sister, and you don't need to be a princess, I don't like so many etiquettes, it seems unfamiliar. Today is just right Let's talk about old things together and drink tea."

Ruan Shu also said with a gentle smile: "Sister Concubine Zhu came to greet me today, and it happened that my sister came, so the three of us had more fun."

"Ah!" Ruan Shu accidentally touched the teacup, and the hot tea spilled out accidentally.Ruan Shu apologized: "I'm really sorry, sister, do you have a handkerchief to help my sister wipe it?"

Ruan Xian looked around at the maidservants, but none of them wanted to clean up.Seeing this, Concubine Zhu was very upset and wanted to speak for Ruan Xian.Ruan Xian stopped her with a look, and mouthed: "No need."

Heh, Ruan Xian, are you playing tricks, playing with me?

But Ruan Xian still took out a handkerchief and wiped the tea.After all, this is in the palace, not my own territory, so it's better not to cause trouble.

"Oh, my sister's status is so precious, how can I come to make tea, this is something that servants do. Come on, Hong Ye, but you clean up the tea on this table." Concubine Zhu called her personal maid Hong Ye Come to clean up, and raise your head to smile at Ruan Xian.Ruan Xian nodded and smiled back.

I thought the palace was full of vicious women, but I didn't expect there to be good people too.Ruan Xian remembered Concubine Zhu's kindness today.

Ruan Shu also naturally did not let go of this opportunity to laugh at Ruan Xian: "Sister is obviously the concubine of Prince He, but she is dressed so plainly. I really don't know how frugal and thrifty the Prince He's mansion is."

"As a member of the royal family, it is natural to be a role model for the people of the world. If the people of the world are as luxurious as my sister, then it should be a corrupt atmosphere. My sister should also pay attention to it. Dressing so luxuriously is too conspicuous and not too conspicuous. Alright." Ruan Xian said a few words lightly, and Ruan Shu's words were ruined.

Ruan Shu gritted her teeth in anger, but it was really not easy to have an attack.

"By the way, sister, my sister came to you this time because she wanted to introduce a new dress to my sister. It is the latest color and embroidery on the market. My sister should like it very much." Ruan Shu thought of this Something, quickly changed the subject, eyebrows and eyes slightly curved, and said with a smile.
