Why do you always rush to join me after awakening?

"Master, otherwise let this servant come."

"No need, I will come personally."

Ruyi was seen washing the blackened silver hairpin with vinegar in a basin of water with her fingers pinched together, her nose closed and her eyes glaring.

Ruyi both disliked the smell and didn't want to ask someone else to clean it.

She refused to take off her armor from beginning to end, and she looked extremely awkward.

"My Lord, this silver hairpin that Guard Ling gave me has turned black so quickly."

Ruyi pouted as she cleaned the silver hairpin and said, "The faster it turns black, the purer the material. If other materials were added, it wouldn't turn black so quickly."

"Master, so this is pure silver?"

Ruyi was about to grin, but the wound on her face was pulled, and she was in so much pain that she could only murmur "hmm" softly.

惢心 was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Ling Yunche, who looked so poor, could have enough money to make a pure silver hairpin.

It seems that it is true that you can’t judge a book by its cover.

In a short while, the whole room was filled with a strong smell of vinegar.

Just at this moment, Concubine Chun came over.

"What is my sister doing? Why is there such a strong smell of vinegar in the house?"

As Su Lujun stepped over the threshold, she subconsciously frowned and covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.

Hearing Concubine Chun's voice, Ruyi blinked in panic, quickly took the silver hairpin out of the basin, then wrapped it in a handkerchief and forcefully stuffed it into惢心's hand.

He was in a hurry as if he didn't want anyone to discover his affair.

No matter whether惢心乐 or not.

"It's Concubine Chun who's here. The room smells bad. Why don't we go sit outside?"

Concubine Chun took a casual glance and saw that惢心 seemed to be holding something in her hand, but惢心 quickly put her hands behind her back, so even if she wanted to look carefully, she couldn't see it.

"Oh, it's just the smell of vinegar. It's nothing. Back when I was pregnant with Yongzhang and Yongrong, I ate sour food every day and the house was filled with sour smell all day long. This is nothing."

After saying this, Concubine Chun took a special look at Ruyi's slightly bulging belly and said with a playful look, "What's the matter? Is my sister pregnant?"

Concubine Chun's eyes were filled with gossipy excitement.

You know, sour boys and spicy girls, and only when you are pregnant with a prince will you want to eat sour food.

Ruyi pursed her lips and shyly lowered her swollen head. Then she explained, "It's been so many years. If it really happened, it would be fine. I just asked惢心 to wash something."

惢心: “…” He lied without even blinking.

Concubine Chun paused holding the fan and said in surprise, "Ah? What needs to be washed with vinegar? I just saw that惢心 seemed to be holding something in her hand..."

"Just some trinkets."

"Ha, so that's how it is. By the way, has the imperial physician come to see him?"

At this point, the expression on Ruyi's face immediately drooped, her eyes lowered, and she kept playing with the nail polish on her nails.

Because her vision was blocked, Concubine Chun simply thought that she was playing with her fingers.

Only惢心, who was behind her, saw that Ruyi was using the armor of her other hand to pick out the dirt in the gaps of the armor of this hand.

That’s great. I can clean it myself so I don’t have to ask her to do it.

Seeing that Ruyi remained silent, Concubine Chun looked embarrassed for a moment.

The two of them sat in silence until Concubine Chun felt very uncomfortable. Then she said awkwardly, "Since you look a little tired, I will go back first and not disturb my sister."

Ruyi hummed expressionlessly, showing no hospitality at all.

He didn't even move his butt, as if he was stuck on the couch.

It was a waste for Concubine Chun to come here to visit her in such hot weather.

She had brought some trouble upon herself on this trip.

"Master, why is Concubine Xian like this?"

Su Lujun glared at the palace maid beside her and scolded her, "Be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall."

"Yes, I know my mistake."

Unlike Ruyi, Su Lujun has always maintained the image of a good person.

All the concubines in the palace regarded her as an intimate elder sister, and she welcomed them all, regardless of whether they were good or bad.

So after being promoted to this position, she didn't want any negative words to be said about herself.

Besides, she has two older brothers, so she has to make plans for both of them.

This is one of the reasons why even Concubine Jia likes to visit her.

After Concubine Chun left, Ruyi said to惢心, "You wash it—never mind, I'll do it myself."

After saying that, Ruyi signaled to惢心 with her eyes to bring the basin of water over, and then she continued to wash the silver hairpin.

There was no time at all for惢心 to wash her hands.

Until the silvery-white luster appears, then change to water and wash again.

However,惢心 noticed that there seemed to be a small word engraved on the silver hairpin.

Judging from Ruyi's expression, she probably hasn't noticed it yet.

惢心 didn't say anything more.

Finally, after all the vinegar smell on the hairpin was washed away, Ruyi wiped it clean and put it back on her head.

"Just now, Concubine Chun came over to brag to me about her ability to give birth to a son. If it were in the past, I would definitely have argued with her."

惢心: "No, you wimp, you only say that, but you don't dare."

"You know, the quality of the princes is more important than their quantity. The Third and Sixth Princes are mediocre in talent. At most, they will be given the title of Prince. With the Queen's legitimate son already here, that position will never be theirs."

惢心: That’s not your turn, you haven’t even given birth to half a baby yet.

"Now it seems that it's a good thing that I don't have any offspring. I don't have to worry about these things."

Just be happy.

Ruyi talked to herself for a long time, and when she saw that惢心 didn't even react, she said in an unhappy tone, "It's useless for me to say that you haven't been able to win over Jiang Yebin so far."

惢心: “???”

"How about I try again?"

"Ah."

"..."

Good heavens, Ruyi’s purpose is to get the scar-removing glue!

Jiang Yebi is really ignorant. If Ruyi wants it, just give it to her!

Suo Xin went out, but before she had walked far, she saw Li Yu walking towards her.

She wanted to pretend not to see it, but Li Yu came up and called her.

"惢心!"

"Hehehe, Eunuch Li Yu, you're here."

"惢心, did I make you unhappy in some way?"

"No...no, hahaha."

"What are you going to do?"

"Um...I'm going to find Jiang Yubin."

As soon as惢心 finished saying the words Jiang Yubin, Li Yu in front of her suddenly became gloomy and a little scary.

"Why do you always look for Jiang Yubin? Why can't you just think about relying on me for once?"

As he spoke, Li Yu moved closer to惢心 step by step.

Seeing him like this,惢心 was so scared that her face turned pale and she quickly stepped back.

But Li Yu refused to let惢心 go, and actually reached out and grabbed惢心's wrist and held it high.

However, the next second, Li Yu let go of惢心's wrist with shock in his eyes.

"What's that smell on your hands?"
