Chapter 332 The Ubiquitous Desire for Control
"Why did she go out? Why did she go out?!"
"I heard that Eunuch Li Yu is a favorite of the emperor. When did Bai Ruiji get this support?"
"Why did Eunuch Li Yu only call her? Could it be that he wanted to take her to the Yangxin Palace to sing a song?"
"It's over. If she really becomes the mistress, then all of us..."
Halfway through the conversation, the people in the room who had just laughed at Bai Ruiji felt a chill on their backs.
Outside the South Palace.
Luo Yao stood there for a while, and the steward of the Nan Mansion came running over like a cat smelling blood.
"Eunuch Li, what brings you here? Please come in, please come in."
He stretched out his hand in a tentative attempt to get closer to her.
Luo Yao raised her hand to stop him.
"No need. I am only here to entertain the emperor. I will leave when the outstanding person arrives."
Although Luo Yao's current position is not as high as that of the steward, who made her work in front of the emperor?
The third-rank officials in front of the prime minister are all eunuchs, and naturally the eunuchs around the emperor have the most face.
"Yes, yes, whatever you need, just tell me."
As the steward was speaking, Bai Ruiji came over with a pipa in her arms.
She was still wearing pink today. Summer clothes were thin, but they looked simpler than winter clothes.
Luo Yao looked him up and down and praised:
"The pink is delicate and suits you very well."
Bai Ruiji smiled shyly, and the excitement in her heart calmed down a little.
To be honest, she had waited for a whole day and had actually given up hope.
For her at this moment, any disturbance would make her anxious and worried.
The steward nearby was secretly amazed when he saw the two of them like this.
You said you were here to entertain the Emperor, so why are you two flirting with each other?
But he didn't dare to ask more questions, and even knew that too much talk would lead to mistakes.
"Now Li Yu's position in front of the emperor is only getting higher and higher. Even Wang Qin can't get any good out of him. I can't commit suicide."
The manager thought about it secretly and pretended not to see it.
Luo Yao greeted the steward and left with Bai Ruiji.
the next day--
The sound of the pipa rang out in the Hall of Mental Cultivation for half the night, making it hard not to pay attention.
In addition, the Fengluan Chunen car was parading through the streets.
Soon news spread from the palace that the emperor had appointed another concubine last night and named her Rui.
This was suggested by Luo Yao, who felt that the position of the promise was too low, so she decided to add a title to show her appreciation.
As for the original name "Mei Da Ying", it sounds a bit unlucky.
Mei agreed, but didn’t agree.
Just say there is no such person. How unlucky.
At that time, she was helping Hongli get dressed. Bai Ruiji's face was pale, but she still forced herself to stand by.
Luo Yao guessed, maybe he was played too harshly?
However, although Zhalong is a scumbag, he is not the kind of person who will ignore you as soon as you pull up your pants.
She asked directly for a position. Although it was the lowest rank, it was better than being an official's daughter.
"Since Bai Ruiji has served you well, she will be made a concubine and allowed to live in Yonghe Palace."
Hongli stood there, his expression having returned to calm.
It seemed that the person who made Bai Ruiji play the pipa for half the night last night was not him.
With a gentle breath.
He smelled the fragrance again and felt refreshed.
The depression in his heart was swept away and the expression on his face softened.
Luo Yao glanced in the direction of Bai Ruiji.
I found that the other person's face was full of joy and he was kneeling down to salute me.
Obviously he is not dissatisfied with this position.
That’s true, after all, her starting point was too low.
Just like the gambler who made a comeback, no matter how smart she was, she was still only a teenager.
"Your Majesty, do you think that the name Bai Da Ying doesn't sound very nice? How about naming her Rui Da Ying?"
Luo Yao thought of something and made a suggestion.
Hongli raised his eyebrows.
"Rui? Is there any deeper meaning?"
His eyes were scrutinizing.
"Li Yu actually begged for this Bai Ruiji, does he like her?"
Luo Yao: Oh my god!
Although Luo Yao doesn't have the ability to read minds, after spending a few months with him, she knows very well what kind of temper Zha Long has.
This is a person with a very strong desire for control. The closer you are to him, the less you can hold back on him.
Otherwise, it would be a bomb planted in advance, which would one day blow a person to pieces.
She used this method to alienate the relationship between Zhalong and Daru, so she would naturally not make such a mistake.
Seeing him being jealous, he immediately explained:
"Isn't her name Bai Ruiji? So calling her Rui Da Ying is not appropriate."
I just made it up at random, don't guess!
Seeing that Hongli was still looking at her suspiciously, Luo Yao remained expressionless and just silently tightened his belt a few inches.
"hiss......"
Hongli subconsciously grabbed her wrist.
"You want to strangle me to death, why are you buckling me so tightly?"
Luo Yao looked innocent, "I remember that it was done this way before. Maybe the emperor has gained weight recently?"
"......"
Hongli slapped her hand away in annoyance and adjusted the looseness of his belt himself.
What do you mean he gained weight? He works hard every day and even lost a little weight!
Luo Yao snorted in her heart, I told you to doubt me, you dog emperor!
Bai Ruiji, who was standing by, was originally quite happy when she got the title.
But when I saw them flirting with each other, I felt something was wrong.
Is this flirting?
right! !
I thought I had become the master and at least had some status.
But judging from the emperor's attitude towards Li Yu, I, a concubine, am not as good as him, a eunuch.
Looking at the two men standing not far away, Bai Ruiji was in a daze.
They are both beautiful, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and they are tall and straight...
She swallowed and comforted herself silently.
"It shouldn't be the relationship I thought it was..."
You should know that the Qing Dynasty also liked homosexuality.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, social order was in decline and all kinds of evil spirits emerged to cause chaos.
Male homosexuality was something that was highly praised by scholars and men of letters at that time.
So in the Qing Dynasty, this custom continued.
In addition, the imperial court stipulated that officials were prohibited from entering places of entertainment to seek drinking and entertainment, and they would be punished for doing so.
The officials thought, if they are not allowed to play with women, then it’s okay for them to play with men!
Many famous actors and actresses were guests of honor in wealthy families.
As one of the romantic emperors of the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong's sexual orientation was also quite confusing.
If you ask me what I like, there is only one answer: I like things that look good.
Not limited to gender, only looks matter!
By the time Bai Ruiji came back to her senses from her worry, the two people over there had already gone to court.
Before she could stop looking dazed, a palace maid came in and said respectfully:
"My lady, we, the servants, will help you wash and dress."
As a newly appointed concubine, she had to pay her respects to the queen on the first day after serving her.
It can also be regarded as a way to recognize the person for the mistress and confirm his status.
