Chapter 378 Cannon fodder stand-in & cold tyrant 21
Lin Xiruo reluctantly lay down in Cuiwei Palace for two days. On the third day, she felt that she was well, so she put on her clothes when she was in the palace and took Lurong and others with her. Go to the Royal Garden.
As soon as she left the palace, Concubine Hui packed up and went to the imperial garden after hearing the news.
So just as she was admiring the winter plum blossoms, harsh laughter came from beside her: "Sister, I finally let go of Cuiwei Palace. I haven't seen you for many days, and I miss you so much." Lin Xiruo turned her head impatiently. , and it turns out to be her mortal enemy Concubine Hui.
Concubine Hui suddenly covered her mouth and smiled: "Isn't my sister your Majesty's favorite? Why are you still wearing last year's clothes? Didn't your Majesty give you new clothes?"
Of course, the emperor gave Lin Zhi a reward. When she was choosing clothes today, she discovered that they were all top quality materials. Jiangnan specially provided them to the emperor, and even Prince Rui's Mansion didn't have them. But that was all, there was nothing else good at all.
The eyes of Lu Rong and others flickered. They were all hiding. It would be better if they were discovered by Lin Xiruo.
After all, Lin Xiruo didn't have any of those pearl and jade bracelets when she was in the palace.
Although Lin Xiruo was very attracted to clothes, she disliked Lin Zhi wearing them, so she wore her own clothes and jewelry from last year, but unexpectedly she was laughed at by Concubine Hui.
She smiled contemptuously: "Sister Hui Concubine does not need to care about what I wear. If Sister Hui Concubine likes it, why not go to His Majesty and show your courtesy, maybe His Majesty will reward my sister. But." He pursed his lips, "I'm afraid that some people will be disliked by men outside the palace, and they are destined not to be favored when they enter the palace."
With a look that hinted at pride, Concubine Hui thought she was still being tortured by the emperor in the palace, but she didn't know that she had long since become a couple with Prince Rui, whom she longed for.
Now that I enter the palace, I just come to have fun and watch their jokes.
Concubine Hui's face immediately sank. It was true that she liked Prince Rui at first, but she was embarrassed by Prince Rui in public, so she stopped liking her a long time ago. However, Lin Xiruo would not let her go, every time They all used this incident to stimulate her.
Furthermore, Lin Xiruo has not disgusted her with this matter for a while, and now it is brought up again, which is really disgusting!
And her father, maybe it was this bitch who turned a deaf ear to His Majesty and asked Your Majesty to target her father.
Glancing far away, Zhang Zhaoyi and several other concubines were walking this way.
The lips curled up slightly. She sent someone to find out today. His Majesty was busy with court matters and would not enter the harem. Today, she had to make Lin Xiruo suffer.
Smiling but not smiling: "Sister, I can't do it anymore. I'm not as good as my sister. I win the heart of King Rui outside the palace and his majesty favors me when I enter the palace. She is really capable."
She really thinks so. This Lin Xiruo is so clever that she hooks up with Prince Rui outside the palace and even gets his favor after entering the palace! It was clear that His Majesty didn't treat her any differently than them before, but he suddenly became fond of her.
It’s really confusing.
I don’t know what tricks Lin Xiruo used.
Lin Xiruo frowned. Although the emperor's attitude towards Lin Zhi was obviously different that day and he seemed to be very concerned about her, the look in his eyes when he left made everyone feel chilled. Later, when he asked Lu Rong and others, he came to the conclusion The emperor still took pleasure in torturing Lin Zhi.
Privately, she also asked the maid and the eunuch whether Lu Rong and the others had lied to her.
But why does Concubine Hui act like she is favored by the emperor and is the only one in the harem? A smile suddenly flashed in his eyes. These people shouldn't think that the emperor forced Lin Zhi to play the piano as a favor, right? Tsk, if this is the case, her concubine is really pitiful.
I suddenly became interested: "Sister, why do you want to ridicule your sister? Doesn't my sister know how your majesty treats me?"
Concubine Hui? ? Did Lin Xiruo take the wrong medicine? Although she no longer cares about the emperor's favor, especially since her father committed a serious crime and took the money for disaster relief, it is obvious that she will have a hard time in the future, but it is really annoying for Lin Xiruo to act well after getting an advantage.
At this time, Zhang Zhaoyi also came closer. Hearing these words, he smiled and said: "Concubine Yi is humble. Your Majesty treats you like a treasure. I am ashamed of myself."
Lin Xiruo has a good impression of Zhang Zhaoyi. He does not fight or compete with her, and has never had any conflicts with her.
Immediately walked over with a smile and prepared to hold her hand: "Sister Zhaoyi has lost a lot of weight recently, but is she worried?"
The hatred in Zhang Zhaoyi's eyes flashed away. This bitch stole His Majesty from her, and yet he came to show off his power!
Concubine Hui almost died laughing. Why did Lin Xiruo suddenly become so stupid? Could it be that she thought she was favored by His Majesty and became arrogant? All Zhaoyi thinks about in this picture is His Majesty.
She was smiling to herself when she noticed Zhang Zhaoyi's glance and immediately stepped between the two of them: "Sister, there is something I want to tell you...ah, my beads!"
The pearl necklace hanging around her neck suddenly caught the huge gem in Lin Xiruo's hand and was suddenly torn off, scattering the beads all over the floor.
Lin Xiruo felt as if she had been pushed by someone and stepped back. Unexpectedly, she stepped on those pearls, her feet slipped, and her whole body banged uncontrollably.
Everyone: "..."
Concubine Hui was shocked. No, she really didn't want to push the person into the water this time. Why did she fall down again in the blink of an eye? Subconsciously, I looked around to see if this bitch had deliberately jumped down again while His Majesty was here.
The weather was gloomy today, and there was no one else in the entire imperial garden except for them and the maids they brought with them.
After breathing a sigh of relief, she said that His Majesty was obviously discussing matters with the ministers today, so how could he have time to hang out in the Imperial Garden.
I suddenly felt confident. I pointed at the person splashing in the water and said, "You should open your eyes and take a look. I wasn't the one who pushed her. It was the ring on her hand that caught my pearl necklace and caused the necklace to slip." She tore it off and accidentally stepped on the necklace and dropped it into the lake. Sister Zhaoyi, you saw it too.”
Zhang Zhaoyi covered her smile with a handkerchief and said with a frown: "Although it was Concubine Yi who fell into the water, what happened today has nothing to do with Concubine Hui."
The two third-grade and concubine she brought with her The fourth-grade concubine also nodded.
Concubine Hui looked at Lu Rong: "Did you hear that? If your majesty asks, I will not be ashamed! You don't want to frame me."
Lu Rong...she Her sight was blocked and she couldn't see clearly just now, but she wouldn't believe it if she said it had nothing to do with Concubine Hui.
I took a deep look at Concubine Hui and directed the woman who was following her: "Quickly go down and rescue the empress!" Ever since she fell into the water, she had to bring someone with her water skills when going out.
But she is following Lin Zhi now, and Lin Xiruo only needs to fool her.
If Lin Xi had been truly pampered and raised, she would not know how to swim at all, especially now that it was still winter. It had snowed a few days ago and the water in the pool was cold. If she fell, she would not last long before sinking. He was dragged up and already fainted.
Lu Rong and others quickly took her back to Cuiwei Palace and ordered someone to ask for the imperial doctor.
Concubine Hui glanced at Zhang Zhaoyi, and the two of them immediately separated. Although the matter was apparently unrelated, she was afraid that His Majesty favored Lin Xiruo and came to cause trouble for them.
