Chapter 188 Ways to Save Money
Ruyi, dressed in dark blue clothes, stood out in the joyous team, like a rat shit in the eight-treasure rice pudding.
Yanwan frowned slightly.
The first thing 惢心 saw was Ruyi, and the second thing she quickly looked at was Yanwan. Seeing that she was frowning, she lowered her voice and said, "My dear, don't worry about me. I don't care about these things at all."
Yan Wan really felt it was unlucky that on such a happy day, Ruyi dressed like this, which was not only disgusting to惢心, but also a slap in the face of her Yongshou Palace.
But she quickly suppressed her anger and showed a perfect smile: "All the sisters are here, I am so grateful!"
She called out "Sister Meifei" and "Yihuan" sweetly. Everyone else also greeted them warmly, except for the most conspicuous Ruyi.
Until Ruyi said: "It seems that Concubine Ling does not welcome me."
Yan Wan was stunned for a moment, as if she had just seen her: "Oh, it turned out to be Concubine Xian. I just glanced at her hastily and thought it was some maid. I'm sorry, Sister Concubine Xian."
The last word "sister" sounded more like grandma.
Ruyi's eyebrows were raised for a moment, then she pressed them down fiercely, revealing a cold smile. She looked at惢心 and said, "After all,惢心 and I were once master and servant. Today she is getting married, so naturally I have to come and congratulate her."
As she spoke, she looked at惢心, her eyes full of tolerance and generosity: "惢心, are you still willing to talk to me nicely?"
Yan Wan protected惢心 behind her and said calmly: "Since Concubine Xian still remembers that惢心 was the only loyal person willing to follow you to the cold palace, you shouldn't accuse her of such a crime."
She said solemnly, "If Concubine Xian is here to add makeup, please bring the things up now and don't delay the other sisters. If not, please make way and let the other sisters add makeup for Suo Xin. Doctor Jiang will be here to marry Suo Xin in a while."
Ruyi didn't say anything, but looked straight at惢心.
Rong Pei also stared at Suo Xin: "The Queen is the master, you are the servant, when the Queen asks you a question, you should kneel down and answer!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Ruyi's expression became even more indifferent. She didn't notice at all the strange looks that were given to her by her master, the palace maids, and the eunuchs behind her.
Forcing the new bride to wear her wedding dress and kneel down before her old master in public, aren't these two masters and servants too mean? !
Suo Xin's face turned pale: "Empress Xian..."
Yan Wan grabbed惢心's arm and said to Ruyi, "惢心 is getting married today. Empress Xian has always been kind and benevolent. I'm sure she won't insist that惢心 kneel before you in her wedding dress, right?"
Ruyi said calmly, "Of course I won't do that."
She patted Rong Pei's hand and said to Yan Wan, "Rong Pei just likes to follow the palace rules. Concubine Ling, please don't be too harsh on her."
Yan Wan retorted, "According to Concubine Xian's words, if I ask Rong Pei a question in the future, will she kneel down and answer me?"
Ruyi: “…”
Rong Pei knelt down and said, "Reply to Empress Ling Fei! I can do what you ask!"
Chunchan suddenly stood in front of Rong Pei the moment she moved. At this moment, the two of them looked at each other from different heights, neither giving in.
Chunchan said coldly: "Next time, please don't yell in front of our master, and don't kneel down suddenly. If the dragon fetus is startled, I'm afraid you, aunt, can't bear the consequences!"
Rong Pei said coldly: "I am just following the orders of Concubine Ling."
Ruyi looked at Yanwan calmly, "Are you satisfied, Concubine Ling?"
Concubine Mei covered her lips with a handkerchief impatiently: "Concubine Xian, have you acted enough? If you have, and you are reluctant to take out your gift, then get out of the way. Today is Suo Xin's wedding, why are you trying to show off here!"
Shupin also frowned and advised: "Even if Concubine Xian doesn't like Suo Xin anymore, she and Imperial Doctor Jiang finally got married, so please let her go today."
The two of them have been quite favored recently, and together with Yan Wan, the three favored concubines often play together. Even the arrogant Concubine Chun dares not to provoke them. Once they open their mouths, the other concubines of lower rank will follow suit to persuade Ruyi.
Ruyi really didn't understand why so many people were bewitched by Wei Yanwan. When she was about to speak, Yanwan had already called on Concubine Mei and Concubine Shu to go and show off Suo Xin's dowry.
Concubine Mei took the lead and gave a box of gold ingots, Concubine Shu gave a precious ancient book, and others also gave gifts one after another, which were all added to惢心's dowry box.
Ruyi waited for everyone to finish sending their gifts with a cold face before she stepped forward with her Rong Pei: "惢心, no matter what you have done before, I remember the kindness I have shown you over the years. This is my gift to you."
Suo Xin thanked him thoughtfully: "Thank you, Empress Xian."
Lan Cui was about to take the box and put it into the box.
Rong Pei dodged.
Ruyi said calmly, "惢心, don't you want to open it and take a look?"
Suo Xin had no choice but to step forward, take the box from Rong Pei's hand, open it, and see a small scroll inside.
Lan Cui stepped forward to help her hold the box.惢心 took it out with her white hand and opened it. She saw two lines of words written on it - Only by keeping your original intention in mind can you achieve your goal.
Rong Pei said proudly: "This was written by our master himself! From grinding the ink to mounting it, no one else was involved!"
Of course,惢心 could tell who wrote it. During those years when Empress Xian was punished to copy scriptures and palace rules, she was the one who kept her company day and night by the lamp.
But the eight words that Concubine Xian gave her made her feel really disgusted.
Is this a reminder for her to betray her master?
Did she deserve to be her dog for the rest of her life, not to fight back when she was beaten or scolded, and even to sell her body and life to her? !
A hand held her cold fingers. 惢心 looked over with tears in her eyes and saw Yan Wan's gentle and calm eyes. In an instant, the anger in her heart was suppressed.
Her good life was carefully planned by her master, and it was obtained by Jiang Yebin who endured the disgust and risked being implicated by continuing to flatter the Yikun Palace. She couldn't live a bad life and make these two people worry.
Yan Wan gently took the small scroll from her hand and threw it into the box. She wiped away the tears from the corners of Suo Xin's eyes with a handkerchief and said softly, "Listen, Imperial Doctor Jiang is here. Don't cry your face off."
惢心 nodded heavily: "Master, I will definitely live well!"
Yan Wan smiled softly and tidied up the hair around her ears, then nodded gently, "Okay."
Soon, Jiang Yubin came in.
After a brief greeting, Yan Wan personally took Suo Xin's hand and handed her to Jiang Yubin, saying to him, "Remember what I said, Suo Xin, she is not without a way out."
Ruyi was a little displeased: "It's really..."
Concubine Mei glanced at her and said, "You are dressed like this, and you brought a palm-sized scroll with you. Are you still making fun of others? Concubine Xian, when I have time, I will go to your palace and ask you for your advice on how to save money."
