Chapter 136 What do you want me to do?
Mid-June.
The weather is getting hotter.
Wen Ruyun organized a party and invited many concubines to come to the Imperial Garden to drink tea and appreciate the flowers.
She is now the emperor's favorite, and few dare not give her face.
Especially those of low status, for fear of offending others, not only did they come in person, they also brought gifts.
Although Wen Ruyun was only a beauty, she sat in the first seat with dignity. Facing Concubine Hui and Concubine De, she acted like a hostess with no respect at all. "The two sisters are here, please take a seat."
Concubine De's eyes flickered and she smiled slightly, "It is an honor for me to be invited by my sister."
Concubine Hui also said a few polite words and sat aside.
Wen Ruyun looked at everyone and already had a plan in mind.
The queen is not here, so we won’t talk about it for now.
It was obvious that Concubine De and Concubine Hui were very close. They always came and walked together, and sat holding hands, never separating.
The remaining people, including Ding Zhaoyi and Mengpin, gathered together for warmth.
But before coming in, she heard that these people were following Jin Weige.
It's a pity that the good Concubine Rong was demoted all the way and now becomes Concubine Jin, which is on par with her sister who entered the palace later and is also a waste.
As for the beauties below, they are not a threat at all.
"I didn't expect that. I just said it casually. All the sisters are here." Wen Ruyun began to speak politely, "I don't have anything prepared today. Sisters, just be yourself."
"Someone, come and serve tea and cakes to the sisters."
Plates of exquisite pastries were brought to the small table.
Concubine De picked up a piece and said, "This is dragon beard pastry. The imperial kitchen usually doesn't make it unless the emperor asks for it."
Wen Ruyun smiled and nodded, "Yes, the emperor heard that I wanted to invite my sisters to see the flowers, so he specially asked the imperial kitchen to prepare it."
"The Emperor is so kind to me." Concubine De swallowed the dragon beard cake in one gulp. "I'm so envious."
The two of them praised each other for a while, and Wen Ruyun set his eyes on Duan Chunrou, "Chunrou, do you still remember me?"
Duan Chunrou's heart sank. She had a premonition that Wen Ruyun would definitely deal with her, and it turned out to be true.
But now the situation is stronger than she is, she can only smile bitterly and reply, "Of course I remember."
Wen Ruyun smiled with narrowed eyes, and said softly, "Sister Chunrou, when we went to the Hairpin Flower Banquet together before, you really embarrassed me and made me lose face in front of many sisters."
Duan Chunrou's body stiffened. She didn't expect that she would say it so bluntly.
The people around her just watched and had no intention of speaking up for her.
"Sister Ruyun, I'm so sorry. How about I use tea instead of wine to make amends to you? I was ignorant before, and now I realize how stupid I was."
Wen Ruyun agreed, "Okay, then apologize, but I want to see your sincerity."
How could Duan Chunrou not understand her voice-over? She drank the tea in her cup in one gulp and said, "Sister will show you my sincerity."
After this incident, the scene became lively again.
Duan Chunrou held her handkerchief tightly and couldn't smile at all.
Either he would bleed heavily this time, or he would have to help Wen Ruyun in the future.
But she knew what kind of person the other person was, and she was afraid that if she did that, she would get herself involved.
Then I can only give money...
A full two hours.
The flower viewing party finally ended.
Everyone returned to their own palace.
Wen Ruyun looked at Duan Chunrou with a smile, "Sister Chunrou, why don't you leave? Don't forget what I said."
"I won't forget it. I'll go back first."
Duan Chunrou returned to the palace and told Chun Xing, "Take out all the valuables and I will send them to Wen Ruyun."
Chun Xing was dissatisfied, but she could only deal with it, "My queen, she is also a beauty, why is she so arrogant?"
"Oh, since she is now the emperor's favorite, even Concubine Zhao has to give up her throne. Haven't you figured out the matter of the multi-seed pomegranate? Wen Ruyun is trying to stir up trouble."
After cleaning up, Duan Chunrou came to Jinse Palace, took a deep breath, and then walked in.
The emperor is busy today, so Wen Ruyun has plenty of time to come back and stay.
Seeing Duan Chunrou coming, she waved her hand, and the palace maid immediately came forward to take the things and handed them to her.
The box was opened, revealing the gold, silver and jade artifacts inside.
There were also silver notes underneath, which must have totaled at least three or four thousand taels of silver.
"Sister Chunrou is so generous. Since you are so sincere, I will accept it."
Duan Chunrou's heart was bleeding, but she could only accept it, "As long as my sister likes it, I'll leave first if there's nothing else."
"Wait, sister, why are you in such a hurry?" Wen Ruyun ordered someone to bring tea. "Let's chat before we go. Sister Chunrou, I heard that you and Zhaopin are very close."
"No, I just said a few more words."
"Really? That's a pity. I was thinking that if you had a good relationship with Zhaopin, you could help me make some connections. I also want to follow Zhaopin, after all, she has a child. The emperor's favor may disappear one day, so I still have to find a way to gain a foothold in the palace."
Duan Chunrou didn't believe a word she said.
If she really wanted to be on good terms with Concubine Zhao, why would she bring the Emperor along to show off her power, snatch away the pomegranate with many seeds, and spread the matter in the harem so that everyone could see how favored she was now?
Wen Ruyun's eyes fell on the teacup, "Sister Chunrou, you must be thirsty after walking so far, have some tea."
Duan Chunrou's body tensed up, "Thank you for your kindness, sister. I'm not thirsty."
"Why, sister, are you worried that your sister has poisoned you?"
"Of course not..."
Wen Ruyun didn't reply, but just looked at her with a smile.
Duan Chunrou thought of Xu Yao's fate and had no choice but to pick up the teacup and take a sip. However, she didn't dare to swallow it and could only hold it in her mouth.
Wait for a while and find an opportunity, then catch it with a handkerchief.
Wen Ruyun smiled even more, "Sister Chunrou is really cautious, but unfortunately, there is no poison in this tea."
She changed the subject and said, "I left something on the teacup. It's useless if you don't drink the tea."
Duan Chunrou stood up suddenly, but felt dizzy.
She covered her head and fell back into the chair, "Wen Ruyun, what are you doing! This is the palace, and I am also the emperor's concubine. You openly drugged me, the emperor will never let you go!"
After saying this, she closed her eyes and could no longer stop herself from falling asleep.
Wen Ruyun clapped her hands, "Carry her into the room and take off her clothes."
Two palace maids entered the room swiftly.
Half an hour later.
Qingsuo came out and said, "My Lady, I found three birthmarks on Duan Chunrou's body. I have also replaced her underwear with a similar one."
"Okay, let her wake up. I have to go find the emperor later, so I don't have that much time."
Duan Chunrou covered her head and stumbled out of the house, "Wen Ruyun, what on earth are you going to do?"
"I didn't do anything. I just stripped you naked and showed you to a man. He took your underwear and knows where the birthmark is on your body. You said..." Wen Ruyun smiled gently, but the words she said were like the devil, "If the emperor knew, would she believe you are innocent?"
"You!" Duan Chunrou pointed at Wen Ruyun, her body trembling. She never thought that the other party could be so vicious!
How dare you do such a thing in broad daylight!
"Sister Chunrou, don't be angry. I'm not really going to tell the emperor. As long as you help me do one thing, I promise I won't say anything."
Duan Chunrou took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down, "What do you want me to do?"
Wen Ruyun's eyes were sinister, "Kill Zhaopin!"
