Chapter 342
"We are all daughters of officials. Why are you any more special than others?"
"The Emperor's action was naturally a gesture of favor to Noble Lady Yi, but little did he know that it was also a death warrant."
After saying so much in one breath, Rou Chang took a deep breath.
But there was no intention of stopping there.
"And that's not all. When I looked at Concubine Yi today, she really was someone who only cared about love. Could someone like that really live to old age in this cannibalistic harem?"
Having said this, Rou Changzai suddenly shut up.
His eyes were fixed straight ahead, and he showed no intention of moving for a long while.
Jingyao glanced at Rou Changzai, not understanding what her master was doing.
But after a moment, Rou Changzai smiled again.
"Forget it. Everyone has their own misfortunes and blessings. Why should I thank you for all this? Let's go. I've been out for so long and I'm a little tired."
"My lady, I will have someone prepare it when I get back. The Empress has said that the lottery can be drawn starting today."
"It seems that what I just said was in vain."
Rou Changzai feigned annoyance and said, "Don't be busy today. The grace of the first day will definitely not be mine."
...
What Rou Changzai said makes some sense.
On the day when the newlyweds came to the emperor's house, Hongli turned over the name card of Concubine Yi.
Moreover, this sign has been on display for half a month.
This attracted the attention of the six palaces.
But the Empress Dowager didn't care, and Qingying didn't want to offend Hongli.
Others are not allowed to say anything more.
Everyone could only stare at Chengqian Palace like black-eyed chickens, watching as Concubine Yi was promoted to Concubine Yi half a month later.
The day after she was promoted to concubine, different news finally came from the Jingshifang.
Jingyao happily led Jinbao in and said, "My lady, the eunuch Jinbao who serves the emperor is here."
Rou Changzai guessed something.
But he didn't seem too excited.
He accepted the greeting calmly and said with a smile, "Eunuch Jinbao, you are here now, but does the emperor have any instructions?"
Upon hearing this, Jinbao immediately smiled and said, "My lady, the emperor has turned over your name card today, and I have come to inform you. Please prepare it early. The Fengluan Chun'en carriage will come to take you to the Yangxin Palace after nightfall."
Only after hearing these words did Rou Changzai finally smile.
A blush appeared on her face. "I see. Thank you for taking this trip, Jingyao."
Without further ado, a purse was handed over.
Jin Bao happily took it and bowed again. "The maid from the bedroom will come to teach you the etiquette later. Please wait for a moment. I will take my leave now."
"Father-in-law, walk slowly."
As soon as Jin Bao left, cheers rang out from the east side hall of Yiku Palace.
Rou Changzai seemed to be glancing at the west hall from afar through the window lattice.
Then he waved his hand and said, "Alright, what's the situation, Jingyao, you should quickly tell people to prepare, don't neglect the maid in charge of the bedroom."
"Yes, my lady, don't worry, I understand!"
The east wing hall was full of joy, but the west wing hall was dead.
But after a while, the originally closed door of the palace was suddenly pushed open.
Ru Guiren led Bai Yin out of the door and went straight to the west side hall.
There was no need for anyone to report, and the master and servant walked straight in.
Rou often saw Ru Guiren acting like this and felt unhappy, but never showed it.
Likewise, he never stood up.
He just pointed to the stool opposite and said, "Sister is here, please sit down."
It seems as if the noble man is oblivious to Rou Changzai's rudeness.
He sat down opposite with a smile, turned around and took a brocade box from Bai Yin's hand, opened it and pushed it in front of Rou Changzai.
"I heard that the Emperor turned over your sister's name card today. How could I not come to congratulate you on such a happy occasion?"
As he spoke, he extended his hand and gestured towards the brocade box. "This pair of emerald green gold-inlaid jade bracelets is the dowry I brought into the palace from home. They are of excellent quality. When my younger sister first entered the palace, she gave me a gold hairpin, but I never returned the gift."
"Since my sister is getting married, I hope she will accept this bracelet today."
Rou Chang looked in response and saw that what was placed in the brocade box was indeed a pair of bracelets with excellent water content.
