Wei Ruo was followed by Xiumei and Lin Fang. They were alert, careful, and ready to protect Wei Ruo at any time.
Arriving in front of Kunning Palace, Nanny Qin paused. She turned to Wei Ruo and said: "Princess Rui, you and His Highness Prince Jing have a relationship in the past. As long as you don't have a tough temper, His Highness Prince Jing will not be afraid of you." It will hurt you."
Mother Qin was able to say this to Wei Ruo at this time, presumably because of her past friendship.
"Thank you for your concern, mama. I am Princess Rui. I think His Highness Prince Jing should not have hurt my younger brother and sister." Wei Ruo replied.
Mother Qin frowned slightly, as if she had a lot to say, but in the end she said no more.
After entering Kunning Palace, Wei Ruo did not see Concubine Hui.
In the palace, many female members of the royal family are here.
According to the rules of the Daye Dynasty, the Zi Palace of Emperor Daxing would stay in the Qianqing Palace for twenty-seven days. During this period, monks would chant sutras for salvation, and the female relatives, led by Concubine Hui, would pray and chant sutras in the harem.
After Wei Ruo came in, everyone looked at her, and everyone looked a little strange.
There are many members here who are members of the Qunfang Society founded by Wei Ruo, and they have had a relationship with Wei Ruo, which is not too bad.
It's just that time has changed and the situation in the capital has changed, so the way they look at Wei Ruo is naturally different from before.
Wei Ruo's eyes swept across the crowd and paused briefly when he saw Wei Qingwan.
After three years of not seeing each other, Wei Qingwan looked obviously haggard and old. There were some traces of time on her delicate skin, there were fine lines at the corners of her eyes, and some obvious bags under her eyes. I wonder if it was because of staying up late these past few days.
Wei Qingwan was also looking at Wei Ruo. With just one glance, Wei Qingwan's fists clenched tightly.
It has been three years. Why does Wei Qingruo, who lives in a bitter cold place, not look old at all? On the contrary, his face is even more rosy than three years ago?
This is not fair!
At this moment, Concubine Hui was not here, and the women in the room consciously stood in two rows, waiting for her respectfully.
Wei Ruo was arranged by Nanny Qin to be next to Qi Shijing.
This also brought her very close to Wei Qingwan.
Wei Qingwan specially moved her position and came close to Wei Ruo. She gritted her teeth and whispered: "You really have no brains. How dare you come back to Beijing!"
Wei Ruo glanced at Wei Qingwan and said, "Why don't I dare to come back to the capital? My father has passed away. As a daughter-in-law, I should come to pay filial piety to my father."
Wei Qingwan lowered her voice and sarcastically said: "Weren't you very smart before? Why are you so stupid now? Or is it that your smartness can only be used for farming?"
"Can't you see that you still care about me?" Wei Ruo was as calm as water, and her mood did not fluctuate at all in the face of Wei Qingwan's sarcasm.
“Oh, you can still laugh, I’m afraid there will be a time when you don’t even have time to cry!” Wei Qingwan continued.
She couldn't bear to see Wei Qingruo looking so calm and calm.
How could she do this? She should obviously be scared and worried to death! What she was going through was obviously the same as Wei Qingruo's.
With King Jing in power, Prince Yu’s Mansion is in danger. Can Prince Rui’s Mansion escape?
They are in the same situation!
Wei Ruo didn't answer, Wei Qingwan continued to sarcastically say: "Do you think you are just here to express condolences? Do you think you and Prince Rui can return to Jiliao alive? I tell you, you are dreaming! If you and Prince Rui stay in Jiliao Liao Bu may still have a chance of survival. It's a pity that you are so stupid that you thought it was as simple as just returning to Beijing to express condolences, so you deserve to have a bad ending!"
"You seem to be expecting me to end badly?" Wei Ruodao.
“Wei Qingwan, aren’t you tired?” Wei Ruo asked.
"Tired? Why should I be tired? I want to see if you can still be so eloquent and trick everyone around you when we get to Huangquan Road!" Wei Qingwan said coldly. However, Wei Ruo looked calm and even said words of encouragement: "Then work harder and strive to be the fastest ghost on the road to hell."
"Wei Qingruo!" Wei Qingwan was angered by Wei Ruo and glared at Wei Ruo fiercely.
Wei Ruo ignored Wei Qingwan and looked calmly at the empty seat. The person she really wanted to see today was Concubine Hui.
Just when Wei Ruo was thinking about when the concubine would appear, the palace maid's voice sounded outside the door: "Concubine Hui is here..."
Immediately afterwards, Nanny Qin appeared in everyone's sight, supporting a woman in luxurious clothes.
Over fifty, Concubine Hui, who has lived in the cold palace for another three years, is obviously much older. Her hair has turned gray and her wrinkles are very obvious, and she is no longer as elegant as before.
After she sat down, everyone saluted Concubine Hui. Only Wei Ruo stood motionless.
Such a maverick, he became the focus of the room full of people in an instant.
Concubine Hui’s eyes undoubtedly fell on Wei Ruo.
“Why is Princess Rui not polite?” asked Princess Hui.
"As far as I know, my father did not take Concubine Hui out of the cold palace before his death. A concubine who was thrown into the cold palace and deprived of her position should not have the right to be worshiped by me, an orthodox princess." Wei Ruo replied.
Hearing this, the hearts of everyone present jumped suddenly, and they were all frightened by Wei Ruo's audacity.
She really doesn’t know how to open a pot! Tread on Concubine Hui’s painful spots!
Concubine Hui's face was filled with anger, and the smile in her eyes disappeared, replaced by coldness and murderous intent.
“It seems that Princess Rui is not very convinced.” Concubine Hui said with a smile, “That’s right, I am just an ordinary concubine, and my status is not noble enough.”
Hearing this, the female relatives in the palace hurriedly said:
“The concubine and the empress are divine and noble.”
“The Dowager Empress is undoubtedly the most noble person in the harem today.”
“The Dowager Empress is the biological mother of the Emperor. Once the enthronement ceremony is over, the Dowager Empress will become the most noble Empress Dowager in the world.”
…”
Everyone tried their best to please Mrs. Hui with good words.
Even Wei Qingwan, who just made fun of Wei Ruo, is no exception.
Wei Ruo was not surprised when she saw how everyone was fawning over Concubine Hui. Those who know the current affairs are outstanding. Under such circumstances, if it were her, she might do the same thing in order to protect herself.
"After the enthronement ceremony, when you become the Queen Mother, it won't be too late to order me to kneel to you." Wei Ruodao.
Her voice was particularly harsh amid the crowd of flattering compliments.
“Princess Rui is really as different as I have heard before.” The colder the voice of Princess Hui, the brighter the smile on her face.
“I will take your words as your recognition of me,” Wei Ruodao said.
“Okay, okay, very good.” Concubine Hui’s eyes were contemptuous and her smile was cold.
Then Concubine Hui looked at Wei Qingwan who was standing aside and said: "Prince Yu's side concubine, your eldest sister is very disrespectful to me. How do you think we should deal with it?" (End of Chapter)
