Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Family Feast
Concubine Rou hurriedly stood up from the edge of the table and called out to Honghui on the side, "Honghui, hurry, hurry, quickly change my clothes and make up, I want to go to the queen's palace." ”
She sat directly in front of the dresser on the side, looked at herself in the bronze mirror while sorting out the makeup on her face, reached out and picked up the rouge on the side, and wiped it on her face.
And Honghui on the side looked at her dressing up, and couldn't help frowning on her face, thinking of the news she had just heard, and Concubine Rou had just been punished by the queen mother and thought about it behind closed doors, where could I go out to the queen's palace at this time.
"Niangniang, the queen mother just said that you will think about it behind closed doors in Yong'an Palace until you have copied the female ring five hundred times......," Honghui had a trace of embarrassment on her face, "And Lord Qi left with the second miss of the Ruan family." ”
Although she knew that her master had always liked Qi Xiaoxian, and she was fine in the boudoir before, but now that she has entered the palace and become the emperor's woman, how can she still hide Qi Xiaoxian in her heart.
If the emperor finds out that the woman is thinking about other men, then Qi Xiaoxian is the queen's younger brother, and if the emperor wants to move, he will let him go in front of the queen, not to mention that he doesn't know about this matter at all.
But the master of her family is different, the master is just a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, the emperor will not have any scruples at all, and when the time comes, not only will Concubine Rou have something to do, but her own group of palace maids will also be imprisoned and directly executed.
Thinking of this, Honghui stood quietly in place, without saying a word.
Hearing Honghui's words, Concubine Rou suddenly thought of what had happened before, and suddenly the joy on her face dissipated at once, and was replaced by a hideous face.
She directly reached out and swept the rouge on the table to the ground, gritting her teeth and staring at her face in the bronze mirror, "Second Miss Ruan, I remember you!" ”
The hideousness on Concubine Rou's face quickly disappeared, replaced with the faint expression she had before, she picked up the book that was placed aside, pushed open the door and walked out of the door, and finally didn't forget to look back at Honghui who was standing in place, with a trace of disgust in her eyes.
"Honghui, you just accidentally dropped everything on the dresser in the palace, and I'll go to the Internal Affairs Office to get a set later."
She said lightly, and then Shi Shiran sat under a big tree growing in the open space of the front hall, and looked at the book by herself, leaving Honghui alone in the hall to clean up the rouge gouache that had just been swept away by her.
After packing up, Honghui went out of the palace to the Internal Affairs Office to get a new rouge gouache.
At this moment, Ruan Di was sitting in her boudoir, boredly drinking the fruit juice she told Xiao Wan to make, while listening to Xiao Wan in her ear about what happened in Ruan's mansion after she entered the palace.
But time passed quite quickly, and it didn't take long for it to be evening, because today Ruan Di entered the palace and returned safely, so Ruan Tao asked the kitchen to make a few dishes she loved to eat, and sent Qi Shan next to her to come over and ask her to go to the hall to eat together.
Ruan Di originally thought that there were only two of them, father and daughter, but when they arrived, they found that Yuan Kailan was already sitting on the main seat, and even Ruan Mingzhao and Ji Rui were there, but Ruan Mingzhao was sitting at the table, and Ji Rui was standing aside respectfully.
Yuan Kailan's face carried her usual majesty, Ruan Mingzhao also looked very well-behaved, there was no other expression on his face, and Ruan Tao's face seemed to have a trace of helplessness, as if he was very dissatisfied with the people around him.
Originally, he just wanted to have a good meal with Di'er, but he didn't expect Yuan Kailan to suddenly send the maid next to him to call him over, saying that the family hadn't eaten together for a long time.
Seeing Ruan Di's arrival, the helplessness on Ruan Tao's face suddenly turned into a smile, and he stood up directly and greeted her, "Di'er, why are you here, hurry up, come and sit next to Daddy." ”
He stretched out his hand and pulled Ruan Di to the place he was sitting in before, and Ruan Di naturally couldn't resist him, so he sat down with him.
As soon as she sat down, Ruan Di felt that a gaze had been staring at her, she hurriedly looked up, and just happened to see Ruan Mingzhao sitting across the table, although there was no abnormality on his face at all, but the tightness of his mouth and the little fierce light in his eyes still revealed his mood at this time.
Seeing Ruan Di looking at him, Ruan Mingzhao hurriedly lowered his head and stared at the bowl in front of him quietly, as if nothing had happened just now.
Ruan Di didn't care too much, just turned his head and smiled at Yuan Kailan, who was sitting on the main seat, and then lowered his head with Ruan Mingzhao and said nothing.
Yuan Kailan looked at Ruan Di's actions, a faint smile appeared in her eyes, and she didn't say anything, and directly asked Ji Rui, who was standing on the side, to help with the dishes.
Ji Rui's figure was very thin, and she looked like she would be blown down by the wind, although Ruan Di wanted to speak for her, but the majesty on Yuan Kailan's face made her unable to speak.
From the previous events, it can be seen that she should be a very polite person, and Jirui is now an aunt or a slave, so she still can't eat with her masters.
Ruan Tao watched her slow down the speed of picking up vegetables, and hurriedly sandwiched a few pieces of her favorite dishes and put them into her bowl, "Di'er, eat quickly, this is what Daddy specially ordered the kitchen to make for you!" ”
Looking at the smile on his face, Ruan Di didn't continue to think about those things, and hurriedly thanked him, and picked up the dish he had just given himself and put it in his mouth.
The meal was quickly finished, Yuan Kailan put down the chopsticks first, and went back to his room with the support of the personal maid, Ruan Mingzhao seemed to be unable to see the interaction between Ruan Di and Ruan Tao, so he left angrily, leaving only Ji Rui standing aside, waiting quietly.
Looking at Ji Rui's weak appearance, Ruan Di hurriedly asked her to hurry back to her room.
After Ji Rui left, Ruan Tao asked the maids around him to retreat, and then told Ruan Di everything that had just happened, looking at the aggrieved look on his face, he couldn't help laughing.
Ruan Tao saw her laughing, and a smile appeared on his face, and he laughed heartily.
Listening to the laughter coming from the room, Ji Rui, who had not gone far, glanced back, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook up slightly, although her face was full of smiles, her eyes were full of anger.
Thinking that Ruan Mingzhao had left the hall angrily just now, the light in his eyes couldn't help but dim, and he directly changed direction and walked towards the courtyard where Ruan Mingzhao lived now.
Ruan Di and Ruan Tao chatted for a while, and then went back to the room to rest.
After returning to the room, Ruan Di finished washing, and fell asleep directly on the bed.
