Ever since the news of Lin Jinxiu's sickness had been announced, it was true that she had been ill for quite a few days. The pitiful Ann Miao'er who had been busy serving her Yunhua Palace all this while.
Last time she said that she wanted Liu Ruyan to copy the《 Women's Ring》 ten times, Liu Ruyan didn't go against her wishes, she only copied it every afternoon. After all, wasting time was indeed a good idea.
"Is the emperor coming again today?" Liu Ruyan asked Jane. She woke up late this morning and did not hear clearly.
"Yes, your servant heard personally from the emperor that tonight, an Eight Treasures Gourd Duck will be prepared and tonight, we will have dinner at Zichen Palace."
Liu Ruyan sighed, but did not say anything else.
Ever since she had entered the palace, Lian Chengming had stayed in his Zichen Palace every night. So now, everyone knew that the imperial harem was like a decoration, and the only person who could cause the Emperor to be obsessed with it was the Concubine Hui in the Zichen Palace.
This time, she, the favored consort, had done everything thoroughly.
"This is a good thing!" Right now, the Empress is deeply favored, so others must respect us a bit. "
Hong said happily at the side.
"Shut up!" How can you say such nonsense in front of master? " Jane and Hong were blood-related sisters, so she naturally had to take good care of her.
Although Huang was lively and quick-witted, she had too many thoughts and could not sit still. She lacked patience. Therefore, last time Liu Ruyan did not order her to become a level 1 female official. She still needed to hone her skills.
"Forget it, there are no outsiders here. Next time, just don't say anything else."
Liu Ruyan didn't want to make them all nervous.
Once they entered the palace gates that were as deep as the sea, this rare leisure was slightly more relaxed for them.
"Empress, then what are we doing this morning?"
Hong made a face towards Jane, his face full of mischievousness.
"It's cool under the wutong tree. Help me move a rocking chair. Let's go there this morning to kill time."
Liu Ruyan was extremely pleased with his life, so she naturally had to properly enjoy this hard-earned life.
After that, she let Jane find the slingshot she made a few days ago.
"This slingshot has already been ready for a few days, but Fifteenth Princess still hasn't come to take it from the Zichen Palace. What has the princess been busy with these days? Your servant hasn't seen the princess in days. "
How could Liu Ruyan not know what Hong had said? She held the slingshot that she had just found for her, and seemed to be deep in thought.
In this period of time, the Fifteenth did not come, nor did she entrust anyone with carrying the news to her. Liu Ruyan was naturally aware of the tricks involved.
Now that she had so many troubles here, it was natural for her to avoid benefits. She could not blame anyone but herself.
"You talk too much. If you're free, go make some tea for the Empress."
Jane could tell at a glance, these words must be talking about Liu Ruyan's sore spot. Hong, when will you change your straightforward words? Isn't this adding insult to injury on behalf of the Consort Fangyi?
"Empress, do not listen to her nonsense. Perhaps the school is too busy and the Youngest Princess does not have the time to come."
Jane comforted Liu Ruyan.
"Don't you dare comfort me again. I'm not an idiot, so naturally, I can see such an obvious thing. In the afternoon, after you finish your studies, think about how to send this slingshot to Fifteenth Princess. At that time, her little eyes were filled with longing. Now that he was done for her, he couldn't just let her off the hook like that. Since she won't come, then send it over to her. Try to avoid some people. "Don't let anyone see that she has dealings with us."
If Jane had still been able to calm her heart and comfort Liu Ruyan earlier, then she wouldn't be able to do it now.
"Empress, your temper is too soft. The people in the Fifteenth Princess Palace don't want to interact with us. Now that you see us in this storm, you want to distance yourself from us. "Esteemed Empress, you did have good intentions, but this servant isn't worthy of being esteemed …"
"Stop it." I have my own ideas, and now we are indeed a troublesome place. 15 The princess is just a little girl. What does she know? No wonder. This is something that I wanted to give her in the first place.
Jane was about to say something when she suddenly heard a childish voice.
"Help — — Sister-in-law Fangyi save — —"
"This is clearly the voice of the Fifteenth. Why is she here? Where did the sound come from? Let's go and take a look. "
Liu Ruyan was burning with anxiety.
Everyone quickly found the source of the sound. It turned out to be an unremarkable dog hole in the palace wall …
But what surprised people the most was that the Fifteenth's round and small body was stuck in this hole.
The upper half of his body was in here, while the lower half of his body was outside. He was stuck at the waist, unable to get in or out.
Fifteenth Princess fluttered her pair of small hands, making them look quite interesting.
Liu Ruyan immediately squatted down, and together with Jane, she dragged Fifteenth Princess out of the dog hole.
"Quick, let me take a look. Are there any injuries on your body?" Hurry up and tell me if you have any discomfort. "
Liu Ruyan anxiously checked Fifteenth's body, helping her wipe off all the filth on her body. However, she could not see any wounds, so she could only ask her.
Fifteenth Princess wiped his dusty little face. His face was brimming with happiness, not a single bit disdainful.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Sister-in-law Fangyi, I was smart today. I intentionally avoided the maid and ran over to find you. maid never told me to come find you, but I'm really smart. Because she didn't know when I came to see you. "
Fifteenth showed off proudly.
Liu Ruyan got Jane to get a basin of hot water and wash it clean for her. She also brought two plates of delicious snacks for her to eat first.
Jane and Hong still had to go and give him clean clothes, change her completely now. If anyone else were to see the current Youngest Princess, they would definitely laugh at her.
"Sister-in-law Fangyi, why didn't maid allow me to find you?"
The Fifteenth was innocent and romantic as he asked this.
Liu Ruyan was at a loss because she didn't know how to say it to a child.
"How did you escape the maid's line of sight to come find me?"
Therefore, she chose to change the topic.
At the mention of this, a happy smile appeared on her face.
"Haha, this princess is smart!" Fifteenth put down the pastries in her hands.
Liu Ruyan cooperated with her extremely well, showing an expression of listening attentively.
Yet, this little girl still liked to keep him in suspense.
"Since you've asked me in all sincerity, I shall tell you in benevolence on account of your sincerity." But just because you are Sister-in-law Fangyi! I would never tell anyone else. "
After saying that, she had a look of 'this princess loves you'. How clever, how lovable.
