When he just came out, the Emperor had specially instructed him that if Liu Ruyan came over, she just needed to let him pass.
Looking at Liu Ruyan's complacent look, she was furious.
"Eunuch Xu, shouldn't you give me an explanation? It was not you who said that the Emperor was busy with official business and had ordered that no one should enter. Then why can't she enter this palace? "
This time, Liu Ruyan had only one foot in through the Imperial Study door, and when she heard Lin Jinxiu's words, she glanced back at him with a bright and beautiful smile.
"Elder sister, why do you need to do this? Whether the emperor wants to see you or not, it's all because of the emperor! His sister was concerned about the Emperor, not that she had something to ask of him. The treatment is naturally different. "
"You …"
Lin Jinxiu was so angry that she couldn't say a word.
Liu Ruyan did not care about her reaction at all, as she had already accomplished his goal. As for how Lin Jinxiu would feel about it, it was completely outside her considerations.
When Liu Ruyan entered the Imperial Study, the Eunuch Xu immediately ordered for the door to be closed.
This action was extremely obvious, as if she was guarding against Lin Jinxiu.
"Eunuch Xu! Shouldn't you give me an explanation? "
Lin Jinxiu saw that she had no other choice but to accept it, just like how the Eunuch Xu in front of her made a move.
"Consort Lee, this old servant will do everything according to the orders of the Emperor. This old servant is only a servant, it's not my place to decide these things, and this old servant is even more incapable of being the emperor's lord. "
Eunuch Xu was an understanding person, so how could he let Lin Jinxiu make things difficult for him? He had pushed all this onto the emperor, who had intended to do it anyway.
"Is that so? I do not believe that the Emperor is unwilling to see me. You must be the one to stand up from the middle and trample on the ground. "Someone, open the door for me. I'm going to see the emperor."
Lin Jinxiu didn't want to believe it, she wanted to rush in with female servant, but before she could even get close, she was stopped by young eunuch's subordinates.
"Consort Lee has offended you, it's best not to make things difficult for this old servant."
Lin Jinxiu wanted to turn around and berate Eunuch Xu, but before she could say anything, Eunuch Xu did not.
As a result, the words that she had yet to speak were stuck in her mouth.
"Eunuch Xu, the Emperor ordered someone to pass the dinner to the Royal Kitchen. The Consort Fangyi will stay here for dinner."
When the young eunuch from the Imperial Study came out to report to her, you couldn't tell that Liu Ruyan had clearly shown it to her on purpose.
If she were to stay here any longer, rumors would definitely spread like wildfire in the palace tomorrow. Most people would say that her Consort Lee was spoilt, and that she was not as good as her Concubine Hui, that she had been humiliated by Liu Ruyan.
Since that was the case, he might as well find a place to leave to first. At the very least, he would be able to retain a bit of his pride and face.
"Since it's inconvenient for Your Majesty today, then I'll come back tomorrow."
"This old servant respectfully sends Consort Lee off!"
young eunuch could no longer hide the astonishment on his face when he saw Lin Jinxiu angrily heading back to his home. Eunuch Xu suddenly kicked him, telling him to hurry and report it to His Majesty.
young eunuch hurriedly ran into the Imperial Study, sighing in his heart that the older the better. Impressive, it had been seen through by the Eunuch Xu.
"Have they left?" Lian Chengming asked even though he already knew the answer.
His hearing was extraordinary, he had naturally heard the huge commotion just now outside his Imperial Study.
"Your majesty doesn't trust chenqie?" Liu Ruyan intentionally winked at him, acting the part she was supposed to be.
young eunuch did not know how to reply for a while. The two great buddhas were in a heated battle, if he suddenly interrupted, it would not be good to be on fire.
"Hmm?" Lian Chengming didn't say anything.
"You're such a fool, the emperor is asking you a question!" Instead, come and tell your majesty, has the Consort Lee outside left yet? "
Seeing that Liu Ruyan had pointed at him, she immediately kneeled down and apologized. Now that the arrogant and despotic reputation of the Concubine Hui had spread throughout the entire harem, who wouldn't respect her a little?
"Rise, you don't have to do this. "Just answer the emperor."
Liu Ruyan did not have the habit of scaring people.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Consort Lee has already returned to the palace."
"Your majesty, how did chenqie complete her mission?"
Liu Ruyan took credit for Lian Chengming's help, and even intentionally put on a bewitching charm. In an instant, young eunuch's head drooped even lower.
Because some people were not him, this identity could be seen. Even if he was not a man now, he still wouldn't be able to stop Liu Ruyan's beauty.
"beloved consort is naturally not bad. Until now, beloved consort has never let us down. If that's the case, then beloved consort will accompany us for dinner tonight! "
Liu Ruyan smiled in gratitude, she did not plan on asking for favors, she was just putting on a show for others to see.
When Eunuch Xu brought the night to the Imperial Study, there was no one in the imperial palace who did not know of Liu Ruyan staying for a meal, and no one did not know of him!
There were also some who took pleasure in Lin Jinxiu's misfortune, and offended many people with her temper. Now that someone saw her down and out, their heart felt refreshed.
But what made them even more anxious was Liu Ruyan's great favour.
He had already favored six palaces in the first place, and now the emperor still had the heart to praise her.
The whole harem had a unique situation, this was not what everyone wanted to see.
After dinner, the people who had been staring at the Imperial Study did not see Liu Ruyan come out.
It turned out that Lian Chengming had left her here after their meal and even showed her a imperial report for the first time.
Since ancient times, the imperial harem had never been allowed to interfere in politics. This was a rule left behind by the old ancestor.
Liu Ruyan did not immediately receive the memorial but instead knelt down in fear and trepidation.
"Your consort is terrified. May I know what Your Majesty is trying to say? Even if the emperor gave chenqie ten guts, chenqie still wouldn't dare to look at the imperial reports! Your concubine will always remember the old ancestor's rule that the imperial harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. "
Liu Ruyan still hadn't figured out if Lian Chengming was testing him, or for something else.
"Get up! There's no need for that. I'll let you see it just as you see it. Didn't you say earlier that you would protect the great rivers and mountains together with me? "Now there is only one problem, let's see if you are speaking empty words or with real ability."
As for what Lian Chengming wanted to do, he did not reveal it at all.
As a superior, if his mind was easily understood by others, that would be his real failure.
In a situation where she was forced into a corner, Liu Ruyan had no other choice but to accept the imperial report. She opened it, but who knew that the first three words that caught her eye would cause her expression to abruptly change.
