Chapter 13: Delicate Palace Maids VS Cold-blooded Emperor 13
"Forget about the other things. The curfew is lifted today and the people must be very lively. You can take the Royal Concubine out for a walk, which is better than her being accompanied by an old woman like me every day." The Queen Mother waved her hand and added, "The Royal Concubine has begged for a long time, and I have already agreed. I can't let you go back on your word."
The Queen Mother had said so much that even if he wanted to refuse, he couldn't find a suitable reason, so Shen Qi had no choice but to agree.
The whole day passed quickly.
Su Zhiruan has been feeling very sleepy lately. Even when he was grinding ink in the imperial study or standing by to serve, he would feel dizzy.
She attributed it all to autumn fatigue.
Night is coming fast.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a very important festival in the dynasty. During these three days, the curfew in the entire capital will be lifted, and common people and officials will enjoy themselves together. No matter whether they are male or female, young or old, rich or poor, everyone will choose to go out to the streets to play.
There are also performers on both sides of the street, selling all kinds of delicious food, and various kinds of lanterns.
Su Zhiruan walked behind, looked left and right, and his sight finally fell on the imperial concubine and Emperor Shen Qi in front.
She squeezed in while yawning.
Xiao Fuzi had other things to do in the Zichen Hall, and was followed out by a secret guard.
It was quite awkward to see the imperial concubine and Shen Qi walking together. Thinking of this, Su Zhiruan yawned again.
Hearing that it was the Queen Mother who asked Shen Qi to take the Imperial Concubine out of the palace for a tour, all the concubines in the harem were almost going crazy with envy. However, according to Su Zhiruan's observation, the parties involved did not seem to be that excited.
The imperial concubine has always been looking for opportunities to get close to Shen Qi and talk to him in various ways.
"Your Majesty... When I walk with you, it's like we are a family~" The imperial concubine cast a wink at Shen Qi, and then continued, "Just walking together in such a plain way, like a newlywed couple."
Shen Qi frowned and said, "Call me Master Shen when you are out."
"Ah~ Master Shen~" The imperial concubine twisted and turned, almost bumping into a tree. She had no interest in the small toys on the street, nor in the river lanterns and firecrackers floating down the river. She found a smiling young couple in the crowd, so she pointed at them and said, "Master Shen, look, do we look like that family?"
Shen Qi was bored, so he looked in the direction her hand was pointing.
Just at this moment, the man of the young couple bent down and picked up the soft, white and chubby little carrot from the ground. The little girl had two pigtails and smiled silly when she was picked up. She had two pointed little teeth and looked sweet and soft. She waved her little hands and shouted in a baby voice, "Ride the horse! Ride the horse! Daddy, hold the little girl!"
"This little girl sticks to your daddy all day long!" The young mother pretended to be jealous and scratched the tip of the little girl's nose quickly.
Little Radish was very perceptive. He immediately waved his hands and said with a silly smile, "Mommy, hold me, Daddy, hold me!"
Finally, the man simply picked up his wife and daughter and laughed heartily.
Shen Qi saw this and his expression turned cold.
family.
He was the emperor, destined not to have such plain and warm happiness.
The imperial concubine had not expected this to happen. Not having an heir was a pain for the emperor. She panicked and hurriedly said, "Emperor! Master Shen!"
Shen Qi had lost all interest at this time and left directly.
The secret guard first looked at Su Zhiruan, who was yawning and looking around at the lanterns beside him, then looked at the grief-stricken imperial concubine in the distance, and finally decisively followed his master.
When Shen Qi went out, he naturally didn't bring just one secret guard with him. The people around him were protecting him in different places, so there was no need to worry too much.
The imperial concubine saw that she was abandoned, and saw that Su Zhiruan was also here. She looked very sleepy and could hardly open her eyelids. She felt that she was being watched, and her face suddenly changed drastically. She began to sneer, "Bitch! How much have you seen! Don't think that you are different just because the emperor is willing to bring you here. If I hadn't left the palace, how could it be your turn!"
Su Zhiruan didn't say anything. She was extremely sleepy, the kind of sleepy that made her unable to stand.
She actually didn't care about these bad words. Before she got the system, she had heard countless such overt and covert ridicules when she was a worker.
She was also very angry at first, but then she thought carefully and realized that the reason these people were sarcastic was that they themselves lived a very ordinary life and were jealous of her.
The best way to deal with such people is not to fight back, but to remain silent, just watch them collapse step by step, and then eventually become depressed and angry at themselves.
After the imperial concubine's loud sarcasm and insults, the passers-by around her also looked over with frowns.
Many passers-by began to point and talk at the imperial concubine.
"Whose family is this? He's swearing all the time, and you can tell from his face that he doesn't look like a good person."
"Could that person next to her be her daughter? She is a mad woman who abuses and insults her daughter like this."
"Shhh... Stop talking. The clothes this woman is wearing are not cheap. She must be from a wealthy family. She is probably a second wife. She came in to look down on the daughter of the original wife, and then she bullied this little girl on the street..."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
After hearing this, everyone showed an expression of understanding.
The imperial concubine was not deaf, so she naturally heard everything. She was almost mad with anger at this time. The more these people talked, the more outrageous it became. In the end, she had become a prostitute who seduced the master of a wealthy family and then went in to bully the vicious stepmother of the youngest daughter of a wealthy family.
The imperial concubine had never encountered such a situation before. Even if she wanted to lose her temper, she had to look at the current situation. After all, there were too many people. If a commotion really broke out, everyone would be drowned by a spit.
"You! Just wait for me!!!" The imperial concubine was extremely angry.
But there was nothing she could smash, and no one to vent her anger on, so she could only glare at Su Zhiruan fiercely.
At this moment, a man suddenly descended from the sky and came to the imperial concubine, "I have been ordered to take you back."
For the imperial concubine now, this was the best way out. She nodded immediately and was taken away with malice towards Su Zhiruan.
Su Zhiruan was wearing a goose yellow uniform. Because she was so sleepy, people thought she had red eyes from crying, which earned her a lot of kindness from people.
The aunt who was selling roasted sweet potatoes saw her confused look and picked a big sweet potato and stuffed it into her hand, "Girl, ignore your crazy stepmother and eat a sweet potato."
The old craftsman who sold lanterns selected a beautiful pine and crane lantern and told her to watch the road.
…
When Shen Qi saw her again, Su Zhiruan had been dressed up as a New Year picture doll by the kindness of the people, holding a lot of small things in her hands.
Even though he was always aloof, he smiled slightly at this moment, "Ruan Ruan is so popular, I have to take good care of you!"
"Why are you here, young master?" Su Zhiruan didn't expect Shen Qi to suddenly appear beside her.
