Chapter 363: Cannon fodder substitute vs. cold tyrant 7
The next day, before Lin Zhi woke up, Lu Rong opened the heating tent and woke her up with a cold voice: "My queen, it's time to get up. At this time of week, my wife I got up early, you are so lazy to spread the word, it is detrimental to the name of my mother-in-law. "
Took out the clothes from the closet and threw them on the bed: "Besides, when your Majesty comes tonight, you have to get up and prepare to avoid making another mistake."
She sat up and sat up. Looking outside, the sun shines into the house from the window. It is indeed late. But even if Xiao Yuan wanted to come, he would have to wait until night. She went to bed very late yesterday and she was alone in the palace, so what if she slept a little longer.
Asked: "Where is Lu Ru?"
At this time, Lu Ru came in from outside the house and reported to her that His Majesty was busy with official duties today and would not be able to come tonight.
For a moment, everyone in the room subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. After all, no matter which palace the emperor entered, there would only be disaster and nothing good.
Ling Zhi was also vaguely relieved that her hand would really become useless if she continued to play it. It happened that the emperor was not here during this period, so she had time to recover from her injury. However, in the plot, the emperor is coming tonight, and I don’t know if he had a headache last night, so he changed his schedule.
Lu Ru asked her if she wanted to continue resting?
Ling Zhi lifted the quilt: "No need, get up." She simply had something to do, so when she got up, Lu Ru and Lu Qi helped her get dressed. The maid brought a basin to wash her face and mouth, and then waited. I packed up and sat at the table to have breakfast. It was just a few steamed buns and a few side dishes, very simple.
Lu Rong proudly said that it was her fault for getting up too late, and there was no food in the imperial kitchen, so this was all she had left.
Ling Zhi endured it without saying anything. After eating, she asked Lu Ru if she had gone to get the spices she asked for. Lu Ru nodded and went out. After a while, she brought them over. There were seven or eight styles of the same, and the quality was also good. Yes, the person in charge of spices seemed to know that she was making incense and even sent her the tools.
After all, she is one of the four concubines, so she is quite active in trying to please her.
Ling Zhi said thank you, picked up the things with her gauze-wrapped hands and went into the back room. It seemed that she was going to make incense and didn't call any of them.
Lu Rong turned around and said, "I'm a little sleepy. I'm going back to rest first. If you need anything, call me." Just as she was about to leave, Lu Ru stopped her and looked at her with a frown, "Today's breakfast, did you do it on purpose?" "Just when Lu Rong was about to feel proud that she had embarrassed Lin Zhi, Lu Ru said coldly, "All clay figures have a three-dimensional temperament, do you want to make people anxious?"
Lu Rong didn't take it seriously: "She has been used to being humiliated since she was a child. She has resigned herself to it. How could she resist? Besides, she is not a young lady. She still wants me to serve her? Oh no." She left straight away.
Lu Ru's face was ugly, Lu Qi and the other two looked at her uneasily, and she said: "You guys go down too, I'll go in and help the queen."
Lin Zhi didn't react at all when she came in. She offered to help, click Nodding in agreement, Lu Ru was thoughtful and never made mistakes in small matters. However, she was the most loyal to Lin Xiruo among the four. Her mother was the nanny beside Mrs. Shangshu, and her brother was the bodyguard beside the eldest son of Shangshu Mansion. The family followed The Lin family is deeply involved.
The two of them ground the spices into powder, added some stuff into it and made it into fragrant pills. Then they lit the fragrant powder on the incense burner, and an elegant warm fragrance filled the room, which smelled particularly good.
Lu Ru was a little surprised. She didn’t expect that the third lady, who had been ignored in the house, could actually have this ability.
After the clothes were fragrant, the voice of a maid came from outside the house, saying that it was Concubine Hui's maid who came to pay her respects. Then Concubine Hui's maid came in and said with a smile that the empress wanted to invite her to visit the imperial garden with her.
When Lin Zhi thought about it, she was the daughter of the prime minister's house who had a grudge against Lin Xiruo.
We said we were going to visit the Imperial Garden together, but we just knew that the emperor was angry at Cuiwei Palace last night and wanted to watch the excitement.
Lu Ru immediately said: "My wife is not feeling well today and I'm afraid she can't go to the appointment." She was afraid that Lin Zhi would expose her secrets in front of Concubine Hui. After all, Concubine Hui was not your majesty, and the two of them had more contact.
Ling Zhi also nodded: "Please forgive me, sister. You go back and tell her that after two days she feels better, I will invite sister again."
The palace maid left and went back to report the truth. Concubine Hui laughed, "Did you see her hands? Are they bloody and afraid to show her face?" The palace maid said, she was covered by her sleeves and didn't see her He hummed softly, "That must be the case, otherwise she wouldn't be able to come out." "The door." For several days, Lin Zhi was nursing the wound on her hand in the palace. It seemed that Lu Ru was keeping an eye on her, and there was no problem with eating and drinking. The emperor also did not enter the harem for several days, but he heard that in the court, A minister refuted his words in court and was dragged out to give him a slap in the face.
Prince Rui came out and asked the emperor to show mercy. After all, the minister only said that this year’s autumn harvest prayers should be done according to the ancestral rules. His deletion violated the ancestral order.
After hearing this, the emperor not only did not hold back, but also resorted to worse methods. He had the minister's pants taken off and beaten.
The minister was so ashamed and angry that he hid his face when he was carried out after being beaten. He did not go to court for the next few days.
The emperor's actions left the ministers speechless.
On this day, the scabs on Lin Zhi’s hands finally peeled off, and the condition got better. It happened to be a sunny day outside, so she proposed to go for a walk. Lu Ru and others also knew that it was impossible for her to stay away from people, so the group walked along We went to the Royal Garden on the way.
But as soon as I arrived, I saw several palace concubines sitting in the pavilion, and their maids were guarding them outside.
Seeing her, several people inside came out. The woman in the lead had bright red lips and a shrewd look. When she saw her, she smiled: "Sister Xiruo, you are out of the palace. I don't know if you have taken care of yourself." No? "It's Concubine Hui, and the other two concubines, Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Chen.
The grudge between Lin Xiruo and Concubine Hui existed before they entered the palace. It was still related to the male protagonist, Prince Rui. As the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister’s Palace, Concubine Hui also liked Prince Rui, but Prince Rui did not Stay with Lin Xiruo all the time.
He even accused Lin Xiruo of being immodest in front of everyone and asked the prime minister how he raised her.
Since then, the relationship between the two has been forged.
When they entered the palace together, they often came to Lin Xiruo and laughed at her for not marrying Prince Rui in the end. In short, she felt happy when Lin Xiruo was unhappy.
"Host, the emperor is here." The system suddenly said.
Ling Zhi glanced around but didn't see anything. She thought to herself, could it be that after the emperor had teased the previous dynasty, he had the leisure to torture the harem again? His eyes flashed.
She looked at Concubine Hui tenderly and softly: "Thank you, Sister Hui Concubine, for your concern. I'm much better now."
Concubine Hui couldn't stand her pretentiousness the most: "Bah, what are you pretending to me? What did you do earlier? His Majesty asked you to play the piano every day. I heard that your hands were covered with blood. That night It also made His Majesty angry, tsk tsk, be careful if you make His Majesty angry again one day, he will directly chop you down."
Ling Zhi nodded: "Sister is right, I have been raising you for many days, but now everything is gone. I will remember it and will deal with His Majesty carefully in the future." He looked obedient.
Concubine Hui looked at her suspiciously: "Lin Xiruo, did you take the wrong medicine?"
Although she usually speaks softly, there is a knife hidden in the cotton, why is her face so expressionless today? Sincerity, vigilance, "What tricks do you want to play again."
Lin Zhi looked at her with a pair of watery eyes: "But I heard that my sister is good at playing the pipa. Next time, I will definitely say a few nice words for my sister in front of His Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to go to my sister's palace more times."< br>
Hui The concubine's eyes widened and she pointed at her: "Okay, Lin Xiruo, you bitch, you are really uneasy -"
Lin Zhi smiled at her, then exclaimed in surprise the next second, and backed away. , fell into the lotus pond behind him.
