After the winter, Concubine Ru rarely goes out. Her body is weak and cannot withstand the torment, so she spends most of her time in the palace to entertain herself.
Wear costumes, put on heavy makeup, and sing all day long.
"Master... the Queen is here to see you!"
"Invite them in!"
For example, a noble concubine takes off her costume and walks to the door to greet her.
"Queen... please come in!"
The slave girl who has been serving Concubine Ru is named Qinglian. She has been serving Concubine Ru for more than ten years. She is loyal to her master. Even if her master is sometimes different from ordinary people, she is also very patient.
"You two are not free to come over today?"
The imperial concubine walked over with a smile on her face and was very happy to see the two of them. She had not seen them for a while and missed them very much.
"There hasn't been much going on lately. It's getting colder day by day, and it's probably going to snow in the next two days.
Zhao Yurou was afraid that the imperial concubine would be frozen, so she specially sent charcoal to the imperial concubine. If the imperial concubine needs anything, just ask Qinglian to tell Sunflower."
Feng Lingyu came here today just to see how Concubine Ru was doing. She hadn't left the house since her clothes were put on for the winter, and they were also very busy. The most important thing was that they couldn't go too close to each other.
In order to avoid being heard by the people in the harem and someone having bad intentions.
"Thank you two ladies for your concern. Everything is fine with me. Compared with others in Leng Palace, the charcoal fire here is quite good. If it is not wasted, it can barely survive the winter!"
As the imperial concubine smiled lightly, her mood was getting better day by day since meeting the two of them, and she seemed not as manic as before.
At this time, a burst of wild laughter suddenly came, breaking the greetings of the three people. Concubine Yu was seen running in with disheveled hair, laughing loudly at the three people, and carrying a small wooden stick in her hand.
beat.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"Yu Linglong, can you be quiet for a while?"
Ru Guifei frowned and looked at the lunatic who ran in in front of her. Both of them were originally concubines of the previous emperor. Yu Linglong entered the palace in her teens and went crazy in her early twenties. He only knew one person in the entire palace.
, that is like a noble concubine.
"Ruyi, you play with me!" Concubine Yu handed her a stick casually, "Let's play a game of horse riding and fighting. Come chase me quickly!"
"Yu Linglong, if you want to go crazy, can you go somewhere else?"
For example, the imperial concubine threw the stick aside and felt upset when she saw her. The two of them had the same disease and were sisters who had known each other for many years. Seeing that the girl's condition was getting worse and worse, she saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart, but she could do nothing.
"Ah..." Concubine Yu was very unhappy when she saw her throwing the stick on the ground. She sat on the ground and roared, crying for a long time without falling a single tear.
"Ruyi, why did you throw away the sword I gave you? You bad woman, I will never play with you again!"
"You should get up quickly. It's too cold on the ground. Looking at you like this, you are lucky if you can survive this winter!"
Ru Guifei reached out to help her, but Yu Guifei suddenly dragged her to the ground. Ru Guifei lay weakly on the ground, while the woman next to her clapped her hands and laughed.
"Ruyi, you big idiot, you haven't made any progress at all, you are so stupid, so stupid!"
Zhao Yurou and Feng Lingyu looked confused throughout the whole process. They fell down like a noble concubine and hurriedly went up to ask someone to help them up.
"Who are you two? Don't compete with me for Ruyi. Ruyi can only be my good friend. You two, get out of here or I'll kill you!"
Concubine Yu's eyes were filled with anger, she pointed at the two people in front of her with a stick and said viciously.
"The two of us were just passing by. Didn't we want to play horseback riding and fight? The two of us will play with you!"
Zhao Yurou knew that this imperial concubine could not be messed with. If she went crazy, it would be like denying her relatives. It was not worth being beaten by her, so she picked up the small wooden stick on the ground.
"Queen... come, let's go together!" Zhao Yurou didn't want to make a fool of herself, so she broke the stick into two pieces and handed the other piece to Feng Lingyu who was standing beside her.
Feng Lingyu felt like a fool, following a madman running around in the yard and being chased by the madman. Concubine Yu was having a great time.
"It's up to you two to chase me..."
Feng Lingyu and Zhao Yurou looked at each other, then they chose to attack from both front and back, and finally caught her.
"You have become a prisoner of both of us now, and you must listen to both of us!"
Feng Lingyu pressed her arm and said coldly.
"Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Your Majesty, have mercy on me!" Concubine Yu also shouted in a very cooperative manner, apparently caught in the drama.
"Then stop making trouble now, be obedient and be quiet for a while, or else I will be dragged down and beheaded!"
"I obey my orders!"
Concubine Yu stood up very honestly, walked to Concubine Ru and asked in a low voice, "The king has come to see us?"
"Yes, these two are the people sent by the king. If you disobey, you will be beheaded!"
Ru Guifei covered her butt and glared at her with bared teeth, "Yu Linglong, if my waist is not injured, we can just forget about this matter. If my waist is broken, I can't forgive you."
you!"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!" Concubine Yu looked very scared, lowered her head, and stretched out her hand to rub her.
The interaction between the two people was extremely close. They seemed to be very familiar with each other, and this Concubine Jade only trusted Concubine Ru.
Maybe the two of them were brothers in need at the beginning, just like Zhao Yurou and Feng Lingyu now.
"Queen, Concubine Rou, you two are exhausted, come in quickly and take a rest!"
As the imperial concubine said, she hurriedly called the two of them into the room to chat.
Several people were sitting around the stove, with Sunflower and Qinglian roasting sweet potatoes and potatoes, which were considered delicacies in the cold palace.
"Wow...it smells so good, can I have a bite?"
Concubine Yu was like a child, squatting next to the stove, reaching out to get it.
"That's not okay. You'll get hurt if you put your hand into the fire. I'll give it to you when it's cooked, okay?"
Sunflower looked at her very gently and explained.
Concubine Yu swallowed her saliva, nodded slightly, and sat there waiting obediently, staring at the roasted sweet potatoes in the fire without saying a word.
“Isn’t Concubine Jade ever having good times?”
Feng Lingyu looked at the delicate-looking woman, whose hair was messy, her clothes were dirty, and she was dressed in a mess, looking like a beggar, and asked in surprise.
"It's completely crazy. She only knows that there is a king in my mind, and she doesn't know who this king is.
Her current mind is like that of a child, but she is not as scary as the rumors say, and she will not harm others if they do not take the initiative to provoke her."
Ru Guifei looked at the well-behaved girl sitting next to her and said calmly, "She used to be so gorgeous that she can't bear to look back..."
