Summer insects chirp in the heat. The scorching sun scorched the land, and the maids took out ice from the freezer and put it into an ice box to send it to their master's room. Wang Xiushu talks and laughs with Ruan Yuqin in Qingfeng courtyard. Wang Xiushu's room is cool. Ruan Yuqin steps into it and feels hearty for a while. She greets Wang Xiushu with a smile.
Knowing Ruan Yuqin's position in the mansion, Wang Xiushu asked softly, "Yuqin, is there enough ice in qingmeiyuan?" Ruan Yuqin's identity is low. She will be left behind intentionally or unintentionally when ice is distributed in the government. Naturally, Ruan Qingling or Ruan Biyao will take her share.
Ruan Yuqin is embarrassed and smiles. There is no ice in her hospital. She can't even eat the iced lotus seed soup. Wang Xiushu ordered someone to send some ice to Ruan Yuqin. Liu's body has always been bad. This summer's heat is poisonous. If she suffers from heatstroke, it will be bad.
Ruan Qingling's affairs made the whole house restless. When the old lady woke up, she was even more angry and scolded Ruan Qingling in front of Liu. Liu's condition has just improved, but he still can't get out of bed, so he can only take medicine to recuperate.
Hearing this, Liu was stunned and could not speak for a long time. She knew how much the pregnancy of the young girl who had not been sent out of the cabinet had affected her reputation. Both the Liu family and the Pingnan Marquis's house were famous families. When the story spread, the reputation of the two houses was destroyed.
And the second prince is the royal heir. If emperor Qing asks, the two families will not be able to get away with it. Now the best way is to deal with their marriage as soon as possible.
Although Liu's body is uncomfortable, she still calls a servant girl to help her to go to the palace to visit Liu Guifei. Liu Guifei is taking a nap. Liu is waiting in the reception hall of zhulanyuan. It's hot. There are ice cubes and aloes in Liu Guifei's house. Liu's forehead is still sweating. She takes out her handkerchief to wipe the sweat, but she doesn't dare to ask the palace people to disturb Liu Guifei. Concubine Liu's identity is valuable, so she should be humble.
Waiting for a few sticks of incense, the figure of concubine Liu slowly stepped into the hall. She frowned and saw Liu's tired face. She sat down on the table with a smile. She called the girl to make a cup of herbal tea for Liu. She said with a sneer, "my sister hasn't seen her for a long time. It seems that she is much older. Is it too busy to deal with things in Pingnan Marquis's residence? Ruan ju'an didn't care for his sister. "
Liu Guifei's disdain made Liu's heart unhappy. She said with a smile, "how can I be older than my mother?" She and Princess Liu grew up together in the mansion, but they fought against each other secretly. Naturally, Princess Liu didn't like her sister. Although Pingnan Marquis mansion and Taizu fought together in the world, Ruan Juan had a reputation all over the world. Liu Piao Piao married Ruan Juan, but she was a perfect couple.
Concubine Liu looks at the precious jade armor on Qianqian's jade finger. As soon as the light sweeps away, Liu Piaopiao is wiping her forehead with her handkerchief. Her makeup is soaked in sweat, showing a look of old-fashioned.
Liu's self-esteem seems to be whipped when she looks at her with a smile. Her elder sister is the favorite of Qing emperor, and she enjoys a lot of glory and wealth in the palace. Now she is beaten into the cold palace by Ruan Juan, and she has lost her position as the head of Pingnan Marquis's house. Now she is a sick child, and this gap has hit Liu hard.
"You came here today to talk to me about your daughter's marriage to Gong Xuer." Liu Guifei glanced at Liu's lonely expression, and her interest was just right.
"Yes, Qingling is young and not sensible, but she has royal children after all. Please allow her to marry the second prince." Liu Piao Piao came slowly. Seeing that Liu Guifei was thinking about something, she was looking down and waiting for Liu Guifei's reply.
"Younger sister, as you know, Xu'er has been married long ago. The imperial concubine in her house is the princess Wan of the neighboring country, and the side concubine is the daughter of Yipin Taiwei. But Ruan Qingling's family background is so low that she can't be Xu'er's concubine, so she can only..." concubine Liu pauses and says, "be a concubine."
Liu frowned. What does that mean? Does this Liu Guifei mean that Pingnan Marquis's house is not worthy of her son? Pingnan Marquis's mansion was also a marquis's mansion granted by the former Emperor, and Ruan Qingling was the first daughter in the mansion. If it hadn't happened, Ruan Qingling would have been married by the old lady when she was old, and she could be married to a high-ranking official. How could it have become worthless in the mouth of concubine Liu. This is not a naked insult to Ruan Qingling and Liu Piaopiao.
"Concubine Liu, this..." Liu Piaopiao was embarrassed and said, "is it too much? Qingling is also miss Di of Pingnan Marquis's mansion. Even if she can't be a concubine, it's not too much to be a concubine. "
"Does my sister dislike this identity? Then we have nothing to say, "said concubine Liu with a straight face and a cold light in her eyes." my sister knows that the young lady who has not been out of the cabinet has committed such a big taboo. If the emperor investigates it, I can say that your daughter has planted such a big crime on Xu'er. How can you prove that Ruan Qingling is pregnant with Xu'er's child? "
"I..." Liu's one Zheng, but have no words. If she does not recognize the child in Ruan Qingling's belly, Ruan Qingling will be dead. But if she agrees to the concubine Liu, her daughter will suffer the humiliation. Qingling, Qingling, what do you like about these two princes? Liu sighed in his heart.
"I'm a little tired after all I've said to you." Liu Guifei raised her smile, followed the golden steps on her head, and the servant girl came in from outside the hall and put the delicate fruit tray on the mahogany round table. There are lychees and strawberries in the fruit plate. It is a rare fruit in the capital and is very valuable. It needs to be bought in the area of Jihuai, and it can only be delivered three days and three nights by carriage. Among them, the fresh-keeping materials are more expensive.
This is the fruit that can only be enjoyed in the imperial palace. Now the princess Liu put it in front of her, so she didn't invite her to enjoy it, it was just a show.
"Sister, if you don't have anything to do, go back first. It's dark. It will take some time to go back to your Pingnan Marquis's residence from this palace! You go back and think about what I said. If you promise, I'll let Xu'er marry you in the mansion the next day. "
When Liu Guifei said goodbye, she naturally wanted to drive the Liu family away, and she didn't stay much longer. Now she was sleepy, and she was not able to move when she was sick. Now she only felt headache and fever. After getting up and giving a gift, let the girl walk out of the bamboo garden.
