Chapter 10 The imperial concubine and empress, all blessings and golden safety.

Fortunately, at this time,

When Xu Ruoyi came back from the outside, her face was full of joy, and she didn't feel worried at all. She walked into the lobby with a bound,
Seeing her father's angry face and the kneeling bamboo warbler, she, who had already understood everything, walked to her father's side with a playful smile on her face.
Opening:
"Daddy, don't be angry, and don't blame Zhu Ying, she couldn't stop me, she ran out by herself, so don't be angry, it's not good to be angry, you still have to get promoted and get rich."

As he spoke, his little hands kept pinching his shoulders and thumping his back.
Xu Shaoxian's anger was reduced by half when he heard his daughter's flattering words:
"You still know that your father and I want to get promoted and get rich."

"That's right, my daughter is not stupid, of course she knows what Daddy is thinking."

Following this,

Xu Shaoxian said solemnly: "Then if you are ready, you will enter the palace in the next day and serve the emperor."

Xu Ruoyi's smile disappeared instantly, she stopped what she was doing, and asked in disgust and astonishment:
"Father, what are you doing, you want to send your precious daughter to the imperial city, that's a place where life doesn't necessarily mean life will come out!"

Seeing her daughter's excited appearance, Xu Shaoxian smiled and comforted her:
"Ruoyi, look at what you said, you are making daddy so horrible, the emperor is not a shameful person, and his appearance can be considered handsome, daddy sent you into the palace this time, he will definitely not let you If you are wronged, your status will naturally not be low,"

"Besides, the Empress Dowager is still your cousin. Now is the time to use Daddy again. As long as you go in, it will be the icing on the cake. When you are favored, if you become a queen, then Daddy's position as prime minister will come easily."

Although Xu Shaoxian was smiling all over his face, he looked extraordinarily sinister,

Xu Ruoyi, who was listening to his words at this time, was very impatient and displeased.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Shaoxian continued to persuade:

"Ruoyi, since entering the palace is the Empress Dowager's decree, on the surface, resisting the decree will result in beheading. You can't look at the people in this room, they all lost their lives because of it."

"Then according to daddy's intention, he wants to sacrifice his daughter's life to protect the Xu family well and protect daddy from being promoted to a noble? Besides, is my cousin really capable?"

Faced with Xu Ruoyi's questioning, as a father, he still chose to persuade:

"Ruoyi, you don't know the majesty of the Empress Dowager, you can't disobey the will, and you have to trust your father, why is your father willing to let you be bullied in the palace?"

"Daddy and the queen mother have mentioned it before, you are a noble person as soon as you enter, and the queen mother asked the emperor to give you a word, that is a favor, how dare others see you?"

"When your elder brother becomes a general, no one will dare to offend you. If you win the emperor's favor, you will be able to enjoy inexhaustible glory and wealth."

After finishing speaking, he showed a scheming look and looked at the other party
Xu Ruoyi, who was in front of him, listened to his father talking a lot, and his eyes were really thinking and weighing,
Immediately afterwards, she turned her head to look at the kneeling bamboo warbler, raised her finger and said:

"Let Zhuying get up first, let my daughter think about it..."

See the other party let go,
Xu Shaoxian happily responded:

"Okay, okay, you, get up, then Ruoyi, think about what daddy said, daddy will not harm you, everything is for your own good."

Xu Ruoyi rolled her father's eyes, and without looking back, she helped Zhu Ying, who had weak legs, and left the lobby.

—then,
Xu Ruoyi took Zhu Ying back to her bedroom,
Walking to the small round table, sitting down, resting his hands on his cheeks, thinking with thoughtful eyes, what his father said just now.

It was the first time for Zhu Ying to see her young lady. With this appearance, she rubbed her knees and asked worriedly:

"Miss, don't you really plan to enter the palace?"

Xu Ruoyi smiled lightly:
"It might not be a bad thing to enter the palace. Although the imperial city is said to be a cage, there are still people who want to get in. Anyway, I have had enough of being in the palace."

The other party's seemingly indifferent attitude, in fact, Zhuying knows how sad it is for the young lady to be in the mansion all these years
In Xu Mansion, Xu Ruoyi's mother was Xu Shaoxian's third bedroom and the youngest concubine. It was also when Xu Ruoyi was 7 years old that Xu Shaoxian brought the mother and daughter to Xu Mansion as foreigners. From the beginning, she was not welcomed by the eldest and second bedroom, and only one person cared about her, but her life in the house was always cautious.

From Xu Ruoyi's birth to the present, everyone has been teaching her the rules. It is these rules that bound her mother's life. Her mother's weakness, she neither dared to fight back nor dared to fight back, until she finally left this world. Their mouths didn't stop either, she didn't want to follow in her mother's footsteps and be bullied by others,
So I indulged my temper, had fun, and fought wits and courage with my two aunts and elder brothers and sisters-in-law, but I was still tired after all.

she says:

"This time Daddy wants to send me into the palace to pave the way for him. I know all of this very well,"

"But now, I just lack the life in front of me. Going to the palace may be a way out. Even though the palace is full of intrigues, I don't want to be entangled with these people in the palace anymore."

Listening to the young lady's words, Zhuying was very distressed, but she still couldn't help it, and said worriedly:

"Miss, this palace is not as simple as Miss thought. Although the master is now a young master, it is easy to get in, but if you think about it, it is much more difficult. According to Zhuying, why don't you forget it and ask for it." Please sir."

"No, Ms. Miyamoto is going to make a decision. Moreover, with the Queen Mother's methods, even if the father is her cousin, he will be beheaded if he resists the decree."

Hearing this, and looking at the firm determination on her young lady's face, Zhu Ying also said:
"Miss, if you insist on entering, the bamboo warbler will also enter the palace with you, and will always be by your side."

Xu Ruoyi said with a smile:
"Well, that's natural. I will definitely get Dad to agree to take you with me. Without you, it's not fun for me to go alone. I need help when I go deep into the tiger's den."

As soon as the words fell, the two looked at each other and smiled.

-

Time goes back to the present, now Xu Ruoyi, the nobleman of Xi, and her dowry maid, Zhuying,
Go back to the bedroom - Muxi Palace.
While the two were tinkering with the freshly picked flowers in their hands,
After a while

I heard the bright voice of the palace maid and eunuch from outside:

"Emperor Noble Concubine, Wanfu Jinan."

Xi Guiren's first reaction was to turn his head, but the flower in his hand had not been put down, and his body had already turned towards the door.
Then she walked to the door,

Seeing this, the bamboo warbler followed closely behind, and walked to the door together.
Just in time to see the imperial concubine leading her people towards their direction.
Bamboo Warbler said with a little nervousness:

"Miss, that is the imperial concubine. I heard that in the harem, the methods of the imperial concubine are the cruelest. Miss, you must hold back and don't offend her."

I saw that Mrs. Xi was silent, looking at the imperial concubine who was approaching her step by step with calm and curious eyes.
