Don't be a salted fish, the daily life of the concubine in the palace

Deshun was stunned, then replied respectfully: "I obey your order, I will do it right away."

Liu Ruyan stood there like a frozen ice sculpture. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

She looked at Li Yuanjing deeply and said stubbornly: "The emperor's grace is like flowing water, Ruyan is still the same Ruyan of the past, but the emperor is no longer the emperor of the past."

Li Yuanjing was overwhelmed and angrily shouted, "Take her away."

The maid entered the room and politely led Liu Ruyan out of the tent. Liu Ruyan's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and she looked at Li Yuanjing with disappointment.

Love ends, worries disappear.

Li Yuanjing's actions today deeply hurt Liu Ruyan's heart. She closed her eyes and swore secretly that she would never forgive Li Yuanjing for the rest of her life.

Even if Li Yuanjing came to look for her in the future, she would not respond. Just let the love and affection of these years melt in the winter frost and snow.

Liu Ruyan left the teaching field in a daze.

Li Chengtai secretly poked his head out from behind the tent. He narrowed his dark eyes and muttered quietly, "My mother didn't treat her harshly, but she complained about it... The women in the harem are so stingy."

Li Chengtai's eyebrows wrinkled into pimples when he thought of the dozen or so beautiful concubines in the harem.

I worry about my mother and feel it's not worth it.

...

...

The news that Liu Ruyan angered the emperor and was demoted to a concubine quickly spread throughout the harem.

Naturally, the news also spread to Concubine Shu's Changxin Palace.

In the afternoon, Lu Yun served her sister a decoction of medicine. Holding the medicine bowl in her hand, Lu Yun looked gloating, "Liu Ruyan really deserves it. She is pretty, but unfortunately she has a problem with her brain. Sister, you don't know that it is freezing cold outside, but she is still admiring the plum blossoms. I think she is not admiring the plum blossoms, she is admiring herself."

After Lu Xuan finished drinking the medicine, she felt sleepy. She lay back on the bed and pulled Lu Yun aside, saying, "Liu Ruyan is cold-hearted by nature. She must have offended the emperor this time because of Concubine Chen's hand."

Lu Xuan felt a little worried.

Concubine Mei was demoted, will I be the next one?

Lu Xuan warned Lu Yun: "You have been in the palace for five or six days. I am afraid that my illness cannot be cured. There are too many eyes on Changxin Palace in the palace. You should go back to Yunzhou first."

Lu Yun's pretty face turned cold.

Her sister wanted to drive her away again.

Lu Yun was very unwilling to give up. She had been in the palace for several days but had not even seen the emperor. Lu Yun refused to give up no matter what. She showed a worried look: "Sister, you are seriously ill and bedridden. How can I just sit there and watch? I will stay with you for a few more days, you can rest first."

Since she got sick, Lu Xuan's awake time has become less and less. She was too sleepy to open her eyes, holding her sister's warm hand, and muttered: "Sister is worried about you... I have no way out, you are still young, sister hopes you are safe."

As she spoke, Lu Xuan slowly fell asleep.

The smile on Lu Yun's face disappeared instantly, and she glanced at her sister who was sleeping on the bed. The sick Lu Xuan looked haggard and no longer had any beauty.

Lu Yun curled the corners of her lips, returned to the side hall where she was temporarily staying, carefully dressed up in front of the mirror, put on a cloak and left Changxin Palace, and continued to wait in the imperial garden.

She firmly believed that the scene predicted in her dream would appear.

There has been no new person in the harem for a long time. No matter how much the emperor dotes on Concubine Chen, he is still a man after all.

Men always like new things and dislike old things.

The Imperial Garden was covered with snow, but the red plums were still in full bloom. Lu Xuan walked alone in the red plum garden, holding a hot hot water bottle in her hand, looking up to admire the clusters of red plums.

"I need to practice first. I can't lose my manners in front of the emperor." Lu Yun imagined the scene of an encounter with the emperor in her mind.

When she saw the emperor, she had to pretend to be surprised, then look shy, then kneel down respectfully, and her voice had to be as gentle as possible.

The more Lu Yun thought about it, the more excited she became. She couldn't help but bend her knees slightly, facing a red plum tree, and practiced her conversation with the emperor: "Your servant Lu Yun greets the emperor. May the emperor be well."

"Your humble servant Lu Yun greets His Majesty. May His Majesty be well and at peace."

Immerse yourself in it and forget everything else.

After practicing several times, her words became more and more fluent. Lu Yun curled her red lips with satisfaction, holding the hot water bottle and preparing to walk deeper into the plum garden.

As soon as she turned around, Lu Yun caught a glimpse of a group of palace maids and eunuchs not far away.

pat-

The hot water bottle in Lu Yun's hand slipped across and fell into the snow.

She was so absorbed in practicing her conversation with the Emperor that she did not notice for a moment that a group of people were following behind her.

"How dare you! You don't even greet the Queen Mother when you meet her!" Nanny Qian scolded harshly.

Lu Yun's knees softened, and her pretty face turned pale. She staggered to her knees in the snow, and said incoherently: "Your servant, your servant Lu Yun pays respects to... to the Queen Mother."

The lady in gorgeous clothes, surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs, was graceful and elegant, with slightly gray hair on her temples. She was the Queen Mother of Daqing Kingdom.

Today the sky cleared up, and the Queen Mother had just recovered from a serious illness, and wanted to continue lying in the warm room of the Cining Palace. Shen Wei was worried that the Queen Mother had been lying in bed for too long and lacked exercise, so she asked Cai Ping to go to the Cining Palace to persuade the Queen Mother to go out for a walk.

Walking for half an hour every day, breathing fresh air, and looking at the flowers and plants in winter is good for your health.

The Queen Mother was bored sleeping in the warm room every day, and her whole body was weak from sleep. So the Queen Mother listened to Shen Wei's suggestion and took the palace maids to stroll in the Imperial Garden.

Who would have thought that in the Red Plum Garden, he would run into this ignorant Lu Yun.

The Queen Mother was such an important figure that she could naturally see through Lu Yun's plan at a glance.

The Queen Mother's eyes were like cold knives, and they fell on Lu Yun, who was kneeling in the snow, for a long time. After a while, she sneered: "You are so busy practicing paying respects to the Emperor that you forgot to practice paying respects to me?"

Lu Yun felt cold all over, a chill running from her knees to her entire body, and she was shaking with nervousness.

Lu Yun stuttered, "Your servant, your servant..."

After talking for a long time, she couldn't even say a word of explanation. Lu Yun had lived in seclusion for a long time, with her head full of ambitions and aspirations, and she thought she could easily control the future.

But today, when she met the majestic empress dowager up close, she felt a chill and fear running through her bones.

Her abilities do not match her ambitions.

When she meets someone in a high position of power, she is just a useless wimp.

The Queen Mother said, "Duke Lu's daughters are all very ambitious. My Daqing harem has no room for such a Buddha. Pass on my imperial decree to expel this girl from the palace and she is not allowed to set foot in the imperial city again."

Lu Yun felt as if she was splashed with cold water and was freezing cold all over.

...

Changxin Palace.

Lu Xuan had just taken a nap when she was awakened by a noise in the yard. She was a light sleeper and opened her eyes almost instantly. She called the palace maid to ask, "Xiaoqi, what happened?"

Xiao Qi looked anxious: "My Lord, Madam Qian, who is beside the Queen Mother, is here. She is watching the Second Miss pack her belongings and wants to drive her out of the palace."

Lu Xuan's head was buzzing.

Lu Xuan didn't care about her sick body. She struggled to get up and went to the inner hall to check the situation.

"Madam Qian, my little sister is young and ignorant. If she has offended the empress dowager... cough cough cough..." Lu Xuan's cheeks turned pale. She covered her chest and coughed violently a few times. "If she has offended the empress dowager, I will personally go to the Cining Palace to apologize."
