Chapter 236 The Virtuous Consort Only Wants to Maintain Her Respect (1)
Bai Ruofu soon arrived in the new mission world.
This time it's an ancient world, similar to the "Qing Dynasty" of the Qing Dynasty in China.
She was originally a palace maid of the virtuous concubine in the emperor's harem.
Consort Xian was framed for poisoning the imperial heir. Unable to recant her confession immediately, she was banished to the Cold Palace.
As a palace maid of Consort Xian, she was banished to the Cold Palace along with Consort Xian and demoted to commoner status.
The virtuous concubine, whose real name was Xu Ruchu, was the emperor's childhood sweetheart. She prided herself on being well-read and unwilling to get involved in the world's troubles.
She considered herself noble, and even when kind people reminded her that money was needed in the cold palace when she was banished there, she refused to bring any. Instead, she brought several sets of armor...
The armor is too small; even if it could be inlaid with gold and silver jewels, there wouldn't be much. Besides, Consort Xian cares about her reputation and would never sell the armor during a time of difficulty.
“Afu, the Cold Palace is a desolate place. It’s good that you come with me. The two of us can look after each other.”
Bai Ruofu: "..."
Xu Ruchu continued, "Once we enter the Cold Palace, we are both commoners, and there will be no distinction between master and servant. What you can do, I can do too."
Bai Ruofu only cared about the phrase "You and I are both commoners".
Okay, okay, you said it yourself.
-
After the doors of the Cold Palace were locked, Xu Ruchu and Bai Ruofu were both confined to this dilapidated palace overgrown with weeds.
Many deposed concubines came to greet them.
Someone shouted, "May Your Majesty be well!"
Xu Ruchu's lips curled up slightly, as if that person were paying homage to her.
Xu Ruchu pinched her delicate fingers and held up the hem of her dress, saying, "Afu, I think this room in the very center is quite nice. Go and tidy it up; we'll stay here tonight."
Bai Ruofu remained unmoved.
The room in the very center is spacious and sunny, so why didn't the other deposed concubines live there?
Because they're stupid?
Do not--
It must be because someone tampered with this house; anyone who lives in it is likely to die!
-
"Afu, we've already been confined to the cold palace, how come you're still so lazy?" Xu Ruchu pouted, quite dissatisfied.
Bai Ruofu slapped her across the face and said, "Xu Ruchu, we are both commoners, you can't order me around now!"
After saying that, Bai Ruofu went to another room to tidy up.
They also closed the door and bolted it shut to prevent Xu Ruchu from coming in.
Xu Ruchu was completely stunned, unable to believe that she had actually been beaten by a palace maid...
She was a princess of the Qing Dynasty, of noble birth, and once a favored concubine...
Xu Ruchu felt like she was dreaming!
But what did Xu Ruchu do after being beaten?
Staring resentfully in the direction Bai Ruofu had left, he murmured, "Afu, you've changed. You've become someone I don't recognize... This shouldn't have happened between us... It really shouldn't have..."
-
Bai Ruofu thought that after she said she wouldn't care about Xu Ruchu, Xu Ruchu would at least take care of herself.
But Xu Ruchu did not.
She sat on the steps, propped her chin up, lightly touched her cheek with her nail guard, and looked in the direction of Bai Ruofu's house.
After Bai Ruofu pushed open the door, Xu Ruchu stood up and said with a smile, "Afu, are you all ready?"
"Forget it—we've had a master-servant relationship for so many years, I won't hold it against you. The Cold Palace is gloomy, why don't we sleep together tonight and take care of each other?"
While they were talking, he glanced at the room that Bai Ruofu had tidied up.
Not bad... Although it's still simple, it's very clean. Afu is indeed a good worker.
