Chapter 173

Qinglin palace.

For three days in a row, concubine Rou didn't calm down, but there was nothing she could do.

She had long learned from Xiao ChunZi, a close eunuch next to the North Vietnamese emperor that on the day his majesty came back, she hurried to see the woman regardless of discussing state affairs with the courtiers. Only two days later, that is, today, your majesty went again and stayed for most of the day.

Two years after Hanson, the emperor of North Vietnam, ascended the throne, it was time to work hard and show his strength. At most times, the emperor of North Vietnam discussed with his officials the policy of governing the country, the suffering of the people, the release of food for disaster relief, the punishment of corrupt officials left over from the Regent's period, and so on. How can he be as personal as now?

Concubine Rou knew that even if she was the most favored concubine in the harem, the emperor of North Vietnam only came to her five or six times a month. There were only a few real sleeping attendants. At most, she came to sit down and relax.

As for other concubines, they have long been stared at by her. Anyone who threatens her status will find a wrong punishment in less than half a month, and there will be no one left. The North Vietnamese emperor never cared about these, nor did he care about those missing concubines. Concubine Rou was more and more determined. She was special in the heart of the North Vietnamese emperor, and he loved her most.

But this time, Princess Rou had no bottom in her heart.

When did your majesty yell at her like this? Even said to kill her! At the thought of the scene at that time, concubine Rou was really shocked. At that time, she felt that her Majesty was really angry and killed her.

The heart is a little cold, and the hands and feet are cold. The fingers covered with pink Dankou curl up one by one and hold them tightly.

Never, never allow that fox to seduce your majesty. You must get rid of her!

Suddenly, a soft and flattering voice called back Princess Rou's attention: "sister, why did your majesty run to that woman as soon as he came back? Was your majesty fascinated?"

Seeing the Ruan concubine who had always flattered her, concubine Rou immediately recovered her indifferent look. She gently dialed a gold bracelet on her spring onion like finger and smiled: "Your Majesty just came back from the Western Chu. It's inevitable that it's fresh. What's wrong with this."

With a flattering smile, Ruan bin respectfully said, "what my sister said is that your majesty is never greedy for pleasure. The only thing you are interested in is your sister. Even if your majesty stays in Yushu palace for a while, it's just fresh."

Jing Xiurong, who was sitting next to him, hurried to say, "but how could your majesty like that woman and let her live in Yushu palace? I heard..."

She carefully glanced at concubine Rou and saw that she still didn't express anything. It seemed that she was only interested in the ring on her finger. She didn't even look at her. The meditation capacity lowered her voice, He continued: "I heard that the woman was brought back by his majesty from the Western Chu. He said that she was the daughter of a prince or some marquis. When she joined the Congress of the four countries, she fell in love with her majesty, so she didn't have the face to follow her majesty back."

"Really?" The soft imperial concubine's eyelashes trembled, but her voice was gentle without a trace of temperature.

Is it the daughter of the Duke of Western Chu? No wonder she looks soft, weak and charming. She must have been haunted by her shameless face. At the thought of that woman abandoning her parents and country and running to the north, she was angry.

Ruan bin looked at concubine Rou's face. Where can she not see that the more calm she was, the more angry she was in fact?

With a faint smile, Ruan bin waved her silk and said tentatively, "sister, I don't know what to say?"

Concubine Rou glanced over and her face was flat, but a sharp edge flashed in her eyes. The stimulated Ruan concubine's heart jumped. She wanted to sell her personal feelings, but her mind suddenly disappeared.

"My sister wants to say that the origin of this woman is unknown. Although her majesty placed her in Yushu palace, there is no aboveboard way to say her identity after all? Who knows if she is the daughter of the Duke of Western Chu?"

Ruan bin sneered: "maybe she deliberately let out the wind. In fact, she is a dark one? For example, the brothel, where is the flower Hall..."

"She dares!" Jing Xiurong sees concubine Rou's dissatisfaction and helps her get angry first.

"Why should such a no three no four woman live in Yushu palace? Your majesty just came back and was fascinated by her for a while, but your sister is the real heart of your majesty. She has to take care of your majesty." Jing Xiurong stood up, saluted concubine Rou, and said angrily, "you must not let this little bitch of Western Chu destroy your majesty. Maybe... She's still a spy!"

spy?

Princess Rou never thought about this idea, but when she heard someone say it, her heart moved.

If this woman is a spy, as long as she reveals her true face, even if her majesty is confused by her for a moment, she will not punish her. The evidence is in front of you. Your majesty will eventually know that she is the best and most sincere to him.

The lip flap opened slightly, and the soft imperial concubine said faintly, "if this woman is a spy, she can't stay."

Her eyes fell on Ruan bin. She said, "sister, if you are free, go to ask that woman and try her details. Although you are bold, if something happens, the palace will support you. Your majesty will never blame you."

"Yes, sister, sister knows."

With this, Ruan bin was overjoyed and finally found a chance to please concubine rou.

Besides, Luo qingluan stayed in Yushu palace. Han Xun didn't allow her to leave for other places except the yard in front of the palace gate. Don't say you want to leave secretly. Even cui'er, who wants to go to the imperial garden and serve her, looks frightened: "no, girl. Your majesty said you've just come back and you're still weak. You must take good care of yourself. If you don't take good care of the girl, your majesty will cut off the head of your servant."

Cui'er said that she was pathetic. Luo qingluan had already known the facts and was not forced.

I don't know if the silver needles I left behind have been found, let alone how Nalan night is now. She has been to North Vietnam for five days and treated Hanson twice. Life was easy, and Han Xun didn't her much, but the waiting time was very boring, and even made Luo qingluan very unhappy.

She was upset and naturally wanted to find something to do.

"Cui'er, tell me if your majesty really dotes on that... Princess Rou?" Luo qingluan stared at the little maid in waiting, and sat bored on the lotus couch eating grapes.

This grape is good. It seems that the soil and water of North Vietnam is different from that of West Chu. The grapes grow big and sweet, which suits her very much.

"This......" cui'er stammered.

"What's hard to say?" Luo qingluan saw her scruples and said, "if you don't say it, I'll ask your majesty directly next time." In the face of others, she acted well. She would at least give Hanson some face and would not call him by name.

Cui'er said in a panic: "the girl wants to know. Cui'er should naturally say, but after saying it, the girl doesn't have to be angry." Seeing Luo qingluan nodding, cui'er said everything.

In fact, she also said before, but it was not so detailed, but I didn't expect that Miss Luo, who eloped with her majesty from the Western Chu state, was so curious. Was she really not afraid of empress Rou?

Cui'er doesn't know much about things in the palace, but she still knows some gales.

The first emperor of North Vietnam died in the war five years ago. The first queen committed suicide, and then was controlled by the regent for three years. The concubines in the harem died, fled, crazy, and some committed suicide after being occupied by the Regent

In a word, it's a mess!

Two years ago, the humiliating Prince Hanson finally designed to seize power, killed his uncle as the Regent, became the new emperor of North Vietnam again, and ended the three-year civil strife in North Vietnam.

After Hanson succeeded to the throne, while making great efforts to govern, he inevitably resorted to some thunderous means, because the tragic death of the first emperor and the first queen also caused his psychological shadow. No one ever dared to mention the failed war five years ago in front of him. Those who had a little heart of disobedience were also punished by iron and blood.

For a time, in North Vietnam, Hanson, the name of the new emperor, was good.

"Your Majesty has not established a queen, but everyone says that concubine Rou is the most likely, and your majesty usually dotes on her most." Cui'er said this and carefully looked at Luo qingluan's face.

She was worried as she spoke. She knew that Miss Luo had just been brought back from Xichu by her majesty. It seemed that she was still very distressed at present. Otherwise, why did she come back a few days and come to see her twice? And let Miss Luo live in the jade Shugong, which symbolizes the queen?

But to cui'er's surprise, Luo qingluan didn't even blink his eyes. Sri slowly ate the grapes and said faintly, "then? Is it just these concubines? Aren't there others? What's their name?"

"It's empress Ruan." Cui'er immediately said.

As soon as the voice fell, I heard a dignified and solemn voice, which came not far or near: "who said me behind my back?"

With a jump in her heart, cui'er turned her head and immediately knelt down in fear: "mistress Ruan!"

What a shame!

Luo qingluan sighed that she had been here for several days and no one had come to provoke her. It was a coincidence that the other party came just after the meeting was mentioned. Looks like it won't be boring today.

She didn't care about the woman walking gracefully. She ate grapes in one hand and looked at her.

It looks ok, but that face is bitter at first sight, and it's ugly to laugh again. It's obvious that the makeup has been deliberately dressed up, but it's too exaggerated and grand. It's like going to the imperial temple to worship the ancestors. It's gorgeous and jeweled all over. It also wears too much jewelry. Behind it, there are four palace maidens who are swaggering.

However, fortunately, she was still young, about two or three years older than her, and her skin was white, but her mouth looked a little mean. Luo qingluan didn't like her at first sight.

If concubine Rou said so, Ruan bin came to look for trouble. I thought this woman was a newcomer and wanted to curry favor with them. Unexpectedly, she didn't stand up and say hello. Instead, she sat in the yard and ate. She didn't pay much attention to her.

Ruan bin was immediately angry: "where did you get something without eyes? You can't be polite when you see this palace?"

With a crash behind him, the four maids rushed out and stared at Luo qingluan.
