Chapter 155

In fact, there is love and hate.

She didn't have love for fourth master, so why did she hate him?

When Mrs. Li framed her for pushing and shoving, what she remembered at the time was only Mrs. Li.

But fourth master, she never hated it.

At most he was angry that he didn't trust her.

And those anger, perhaps as early as when she was giving birth, when he heard him say that he wanted to protect her, it disappeared a lot.

Fourth master stared at those beautiful eyes for a few seconds.

It seems that she is not sure about what she said, and she needs to see it for real.

Ruoyin was acting cute to fourth master innocently, trying not to panic or show emotion.

A few seconds later, fourth master sighed in his heart, finally there was nothing he could do with this little woman.

He gave her everything he could, but she looked innocent without desire or desire.

Thinking of the last time she asked him to take back the financial power, it was the same.

His face sank, and he said: "The Lord has given you financial power, and he will never take it back. Just remember, you are not allowed to speak angry words in the future, understand?"

Ruoyin: "..."

Okay, why did you mention this.

He loves to settle accounts so much, how long ago did he speak out in anger.

Last time he left in a fit of anger, but now that he thought about it, he forced her to say it again.

This is due to relying on her to be the housekeeper.

Seeing that she didn't reply, the man pressed his ear and asked: "Understood?"

Ruoyin shrank her head, "Understood, but Lord will treat me well in the future, trust me."

"You're getting bolder, you're threatening me, huh?" He lowered his head and lifted her chin, and his thin lips fell domineeringly... ...................................................

In the early morning of the next day, because it was Concubine De's birthday, Ruoyin wanted to go to the palace with Fourth Master.

After the two of them had breakfast, Fourth Master went back to the front yard to prepare gifts for Concubine De.

Li Shi and Niu Gulu Shi also went to the main courtyard to greet and gather.

Concubine De's birthday, with their identities, they would also enter the palace to celebrate Concubine De's birthday.

Mrs. Li was wearing a rose red flag dress, always high-profile.

On the contrary, Niu Gulushi wore a moon-white flag dress with floral patterns embroidered on it.

On the head is a simple and exquisite jasper hairpin, looking at the usual low-key.

When the two of them saluted her, she didn't have anything to say.

Not even waving.

Instead, they are automatically blocked.

She didn't even bother to look at them any more, so she took her servants and waited for fourth master at the gate of the mansion.

Li Shi and Niu Gulu Shi were deflated, and their faces were a little embarrassed.

But I didn't want to say much, I just kept up in embarrassment.

Niu Gulu's expression was a little surprised. It stands to reason that she has been in the palace for so long.

Fujin's treatment of Mrs. Li has always been wrong.

But he treated her well, why did he punish her just now?

If you really have a son-in-law, your tail will stick to the sky, right?

After a while, fourth master and Ruoyin got into the carriage together.

Li's and Niu Gulu's servants arranged for them to board the car.

Half an hour later, everyone arrived at Yonghe Palace.

Aunt Cui stepped forward and said with a smile: "Fourth Master, some young masters are inside to celebrate your mother's birthday, this old slave will take you to the side hall to wait."

After the fourth master gave a faint "um", he went to the side hall.

However, in the main hall, there were many concubines sitting in the hall talking and laughing.

These are all concubines under the jurisdiction of Concubine De.

It's nothing more than a beauty, a nobleman, a promise or something.

And among that group of people, there happened to be a beautiful woman who was favored by Kangxi recently.

When they heard Aunt Cui say that Fourth Master was waiting in the side hall, they got up embarrassingly.

"Your Majesty is so lucky. Now that the house is full of children and grandchildren, I am really envious of others." With a bright smile on her face, Qimei gestured to the slave next to her, "Today is a good day for you. The concubine has prepared a gift for you. , is a white jade wishful-shaped hairpin obtained at the beginning of the year, although it was given to my concubine by the Lord Long Live, but my concubine feels that such a good thing is more suitable for the empress, and I ask the empress not to dislike it."

She is a dancer sent by Yu Nanguo, and she didn't have any good jewelry when she came here.

Now she wears it on her body and on her head.

As long as there is a high-grade one, which one is not rewarded by Kangxi.

However, even if she didn't say these things, Concubine De would know about them.

But she said this in public on Concubine De's birthday.

It seems to be deliberately showing off.

Such a good thing, Kangxi did not reward Concubine De, but rewarded her.

It made the atmosphere awkward.

Seeing the slight smile on Concubine De's face, she froze immediately.

Then he said casually: "You have a heart."

She didn't look angry at all, on the contrary she was very generous.

After all, this thing was given to Qi Meiren by Kangxi, so she couldn't say much about it.

Who made Qi Meiren so favored by Kangxi, and so proud of it.

Although Concubine De has a high status, it is not easy to offend the little beauty who is favored.

After all, Kangxi is not an ordinary man.

If Kangxi is angered, I am afraid that his status will be lost.

The competition for favor in the palace is much more intense than that in the princes' mansion.

Hundreds of thousands of women, fighting for one man, can it not be fierce.

"The concubine has always been taken care of by the empress, and this is what should be done." Qimei smiled, but the courtesy was so-so, then, she glanced at Aunt Cui, and said with a smile: "Since the empress has guests, the concubine will be fine." Don't bother me any more."

The rest of the people followed suit and left.

After the concubines left, Fourth Master and Ruoyin were taken to the main hall of Yonghe Palace.

Immediately afterwards, fourth master and Ruoyin knelt down in the center of the hall to salute.

"Emiang's birthday is as you wish, and all the blessings and prosperity."

"Get up, give me your seat." Concubine De's face was light, and there was even a trace of anger.

I don't know if she was offended by Qimei.

Ruoyin, who had just arrived, was dumbfounded.

Shouldn't the son and daughter-in-law be happy to see her?

After everyone was seated, a few young eunuchs came in outside.

The person who took the lead said: "Empress Defei, Lord Long Live has been busy with business recently, but he still remembers the birthday of the empress, and specially asked the servants to send a pair of flat squares with blessings and longevity patterns."

Hearing this, everyone stood up.

Concubine De even accepted it with a smile on her face, and asked someone to reward the eunuchs with money.

After this episode, Ruoyin saw that Concubine De's original anger had long since disappeared.

Seeing this, Ruoyin frowned slightly.

It turned out that even a woman with the status of Concubine De was attached to Kangxi in the palace.

Every move of Kangxi affected Concubine De's emotions.

After the eunuchs left, the fourth master also asked Su Peisheng to hand over the birthday present.

It was full of ten thousand years of hairpin and tin, and a blue and white birthday stick bottle.

When Aunt Cui presented the gift box to Concubine De.

Concubine De glanced casually, smiled and praised Fourth Master for his filial piety.

At this moment, Niu Gulu stood up and said, "Emiang, I also prepared a gift for you."

Concubine De frowned, and said: "Submit it up and have a look."

So Aunt Cui handed the gift prepared by Niu Gulu to Concubine De.

"It's not a good thing, it's just a big red gold handkerchief with birthday characters, embroidered by my concubine myself, I hope my mother won't dislike it." Niu Gulu said coyly.

Concubine De spread out the handkerchief and looked at it carefully.

"The birthday characters on this handkerchief are embroidered very well, with bright lines and lively stitching." She nodded with satisfaction, handed the handkerchief to Aunt Cui, and said with a smile: "The kindness of stitches and threads is really rare. It’s good to keep it. You are too filial, child.”

"Being filial to my mother is a concubine's blessing." Niu Gulu replied respectfully.

"Sit down quickly." Concubine De waved her hand, and it seemed that she really liked Niu Gulu's family: "I have heard for a long time that the children of Niu Gulu's family are all well-educated. Sure enough, the reputation is well-deserved, with you serving the fourth child, I feel relieved."

What she said, it seemed that Ruoyin and Li's family were not well educated, and she seemed dissatisfied.

Immediately, Li's face became a little downcast.

In the past, no matter how much she tried to please Concubine De, she would not show her courtesy when Ruoyin didn't show it.

At most, he has a sweet mouth, loves to speak flattery, and flatters him.

Hmph, it seems that this Niu Gulu family is better at playing than her, and is very good at playing tricks.

However, she now has a full stomach and firmly believes that she is pregnant with a son.

So she didn't care about Concubine De's dispensable thigh.

At this time, Ruoyin was easy-going on the surface, but sneered in his heart.

Oh, Concubine De really couldn't figure it out.

Long before she came, she knew that Concubine De would be fooled by Niu Gulu's appearance.

Everyone in the world knows the tutors of big families.

And who knows about the dirty things in those deep houses.

Anyway, she would not intentionally try to please Concubine De.

But she will still abide by the rules of being a daughter-in-law.

It's not that the original owner didn't please Concubine De before.

But Concubine De didn't take her seriously.

On the contrary, I especially like Li's kind of people who are yin and yang.

A woman who doesn't even like her own son.

As a daughter-in-law, no matter how she pleases her, she is at a loss.

What's more, Li Shi has been courting her for so many years, but she hates it just because she doesn't like it.

Niu Yulu was overjoyed at the praise of Concubine De, and then said modestly: "Er Niang was joking, my concubine is not good enough, how can I compare with my sisters."

When Concubine De heard this, she glanced at Ruoyin and Li Shi, but did not continue the topic.

Instead, he motioned to Aunt Cui and said with a smile, "When you head back to this palace, I will reward you with some jewelry."

"Thank you for the reward." Niu Gulu accepted the reward with a smile.

However, Concubine De unexpectedly changed the subject and said in an elder's manner: "You should dress up well when you are young, and you should not dress too plainly."

"Yes, I will keep it in mind." Niu Gulu replied shyly.

She has always been used to wearing plain colors, and she wants to appear aloof from the world.

I forgot that the palace likes more festive colors, white is not very good.

Except Niu Gulushi, everyone else knew that Concubine De was really good for Niu Gulushi.

I want her to dress up better, so that she can be more pampered while being festive.

After Niu Gulu's interruption, Concubine De remembered her grandson Hongyi.

She glanced at Ruoyin, and said with a smile, "You are all too filial, I only remember Eldest Brother after asking Bengong to remember you. Hurry up and bring Eldest Brother to Bengong to have a look."

"It's a concubine, isn't it? It's overstepping the rules." Niu Gulu has done everything, pretending to be sensible here.

Her voice was soft, and she looked at fourth master with timidity on her face.
