Chapter 212
"What's the matter? Tell me now. If I can help, I won't refuse even a little."
"It's not my business."
Yue Ning shook her head in response, then said, "Sister, I heard there's a Concubine Min in the main hall of Changchun Palace. We're entering the palace for the first time today, should we go and pay our respects?"
Chu Ruohan suddenly realized.
"Sister, you're so thoughtful! I forgot about it for a moment. Birou, go call Baoning in."
Then he looked at Yue Ning and said, "Birou is a servant I brought into the palace. It's her first day in the palace, so it's inevitable that she might not be careful. Baoning is assigned to the East Wing Palace by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I think it's safer to ask her first."
"Sister is attentive, and I admire her."
Chu Ruohan turned her head and glanced to the side. "I wonder who is serving my sister?"
Yue Ning looked bitter.
"I'm sorry to bother you, sister, but I don't have any servants at home. Baolian was arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so I brought her here temporarily."
Chu Ruohan's expression was deliberately filled with a hint of apology.
"I've said too much, don't blame me, sister."
"Sister, what you said means you don't treat me as your sister anymore. How can I blame you?"
The two of them folded their hands and smiled at each other, as if they didn't think much about it at all.
Soon, Baoning came in.
She knelt and saluted, then said, "My two young ladies, I have already sent someone to inquire this morning. The people around Concubine Min said that she has been unwell recently and is unable to see anyone."
"Besides, you ladies have just entered the palace and are already tired. If you worry about this, it will inevitably be unpleasant. Therefore, you ladies only need to wait for the Jingren Palace to come and see you in three days. There is no need to pay your respects separately."
"I see, Her Majesty Min is so kind. I will kowtow to Her Majesty outside the main hall with Sister Yue later."
"My Lord, you are very thoughtful. That's exactly what should happen."
After Bao Ning finished speaking, Yue Ning followed with a smile and said, "Luckily, I have my sister, otherwise I don't know what I would do."
"If I act rashly and offend Concubine Min, that would be a crime."
Chu Ruohan also had a smile on her face.
"I was just saying that. If my sister hadn't mentioned it, I would have completely forgotten about it. So let's not be polite."
"Yes, then I won't be polite to my sister."
"That's just the way it should be."
After saying that, Chu Ruohan turned around and said, "Bi Rou, go get the snacks I brought into the palace and give them to Sister Yue to try."
"Don't be polite, sister. I've disturbed you for so long, and I should go back. I just arrived at the palace today, and I still have a lot of things to do."
Having said this, Yue Ning stood up.
Chu Ruohan didn't even have the slightest intention of trying to keep him.
Such straightforwardness made Yue Ning's eyes flash with embarrassment.
But he endured it and didn't show anything.
She nodded slightly and said, "Then I'll take my leave first."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left. Chu Ruohan did not stand up, but just looked at Yue Ning's back with a smile.
The previous words about going together to pay respects to Concubine Min seemed to be completely forgotten in just a short moment, and no one mentioned it at all.
Yue Ning's figure disappeared, and Chu Ruohan's smile instantly disappeared.
Seeing the other person's cold expression, Baoning did not speak.
Bending her knees and leaving, Birou moved closer to Chu Ruohan.
"My dear, this Yue promised to come to our house suddenly and talk to us like this. I wonder what his intention is?"
Chu Ruohan sneered.
"Didn't you say that she can't handle it alone? Naturally, she wants to find someone who can help her through thick and thin."
Bi Rou laughed awkwardly, "My lady, this servant is just a random guess, how can you take it seriously?"
"You're right. She comes from a humble family and doesn't even have a maid. Coming to the Forbidden City alone, she's naturally afraid."
"However, such a person is not as good-looking as me, and his family background is not as good as mine. I don't think he can bring any obvious help."
"Why should I... waste my time and energy on such a person?"
Chu Ruohan's voice became smaller and smaller.
By the end of the sentence, Biore could barely hear it.
But she had no intention of asking again, and the matter was left at that.
August 24th.
It was still dark, but there was already movement in the various palaces.
The old people want to meet the newcomers, but the newcomers are afraid of breaking the rules.
