"What the hell?" Li Ruhua was taken aback and glanced at her with a hint of surprise.
"Never mind. Anyway, it's a compliment to you." Su Qingwen waved her hand and asked, "Why did you come here?"
"I was a bit bored, so I thought I'd come and see you." Li Ruhua averted her gaze as she replied.
"I see. You can just give me a hand then. I'm telling you, I'm planning to set up a swing over there." Su Qingwen pointed at a big tree not far away and gestured, "One that can just fit two people. It must be really comfortable to lie on it like that."
"It does seem nice." Li Ruhua couldn't help wiping the sweat off. She sighed that this woman really knew how to stir things up.
"Tell the little eunuch to find some wooden materials. It'd better be sturdy. It won't be good if something goes wrong." Li Ruhua gave the order.
"Really? Can you make it?" Su Qingwen's eyes widened in surprise. This female imperial consort was really amazing. She knew so many things.
"One has to have a skill to survive in the world." Li Ruhua hooked her lips into a smile. After someone brought over the tools, she got busy.
As a woman, she was more meticulous than most men when doing the work. She looked extremely serious. Her hands were like magic. It was truly amazing. In no time, she had made a rough shape.
[System: Look at her and then look at yourself. Don't you feel ashamed?]
"What's wrong with me? I have many good qualities. Can you stop discouraging me like this?" Su Qingwen rolled her eyes so hard that it seemed they were about to pop out. She said helplessly.
[System: The truth is always so bare and cruel.]
Su Qingwen gritted her teeth. She simply couldn't get along with this system amicably. Then, she focused her attention on Li Ruhua not far away again and sighed, "Li Ruhua, you're really wonderful. I wonder what kind of man would be worthy of you. Tell me yourself. What kind of man do you like?"
"Him..." The woman lowered her head, as if she was thinking seriously about something. Then, she hooked her lips into a smile. "That man should be extremely good - looking, gentle to others, and have a straight posture. When he smiles, he can make people dizzy and infatuated."
"Um..." Su Qingwen propped her chin up and pictured the scene in her mind. Suddenly, she thought of Hua Yueye's appearance. According to this description, Hua Yueye was actually Li Ruhua's ideal type.
"By the way, he must be a person of high status, respected by thousands of people." The smile on Li Ruhua's face gradually faded. She stared at Su Qingwen and said.
The meaning was clear enough. Anyone who wasn't a fool would understand.
However, Su Qingwen was really slow - witted. She thought seriously for a while. No, Hua Yueye was just an empty - shell emperor. If we were talking about the truly powerful person, it was Gao Quan.
Li Ruhua was so young and beautiful. What was wrong with her? How could she like a treacherous eunuch? No, this was really terrible. Su Qingwen shook her head and immediately strode towards her. She put one hand on Li Ruhua's shoulder and said, "Girl, what's wrong with you? Why do you like Gao Quan when you could like anyone else?"
Gao Quan? Li Ruhua felt that she was about to be pissed off by Su Qingwen. This was all such a mess. Why would she like an eunuch? This woman must be deliberately trying to anger her!
"Who likes Gao Quan? Don't talk nonsense!" Li Ruhua got angry and directly pushed her hand away. She turned her head away unhappily.
Was she embarrassed? Maybe she was shy? Su Qingwen had a wild imagination. She thought the scene was just too much to imagine.
"His Majesty the Emperor is here." A eunuch's shrill voice rang out. Su Qingwen was stunned. She didn't expect Hua Yueye to come at this time.
Li Ruhua's expression changed slightly. She tidied up her clothes, carefully smoothing out every wrinkle on it. Then she slowly raised her eyes.
However, Hua Yueye didn't even glance at her.
Not far away, Hua Yueye was looking down at Su Qingwen. He reached out and tapped on her head. "What on earth are you tinkering with every day?"
"Alas, life is so boring, so I wanted to set up a swing. Hua Yueye, when it's done, let's play on it together." Su Qingwen was just being polite. After all, with Hua Yueye's weight, this poor swing would surely break if he got on it.
Unexpectedly, this guy was really oblivious. He just nodded. "Sure."
Um... Su Qingwen was speechless. She was extremely desperate.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty." Li Ruhua waited for a while. Seeing that Hua Yueye ignored her all the time, she could only reluctantly step forward and salute on her own initiative.
"Yeah." When facing Li Ruhua, Hua Yueye resumed his cold - faced look. He nodded slightly. "Get up. Since Concubine Xian can't stay idle, I'll have to trouble you to take better care of her."
"Okay." Li Ruhua raised her eyes and looked at his face almost greedily. Her heart couldn't help beating faster.
What did he mean by "Concubine Xian can't stay idle"? Was he making up a nursery rhyme? Su Qingwen couldn't help rolling her eyes.
"Come here. What have you been up to these days?" Hua Yueye just simply greeted Li Ruhua and then came back to Su Qingwen.
From afar, their backs looked so well - matched. It was like a painting and very eye - catching.
Li Ruhua stood in the distance like an outsider. She lowered her head and felt a twinge of pain in her heart.
It was all Su Qingwen's fault for attracting Hua Yueye's attention.
Thinking of this, a hint of ferocity suddenly appeared on Li Ruhua's originally delicate and beautiful face. She clenched her fingers tightly. She didn't even notice that her fingernails had turned the palm of her hand red.
Soon, she shifted her gaze to the swing beside her. A strange light flashed in her eyes. Li Ruhua narrowed her eyes and thought with a cold smile: If this annoying Su Qingwen died, there would be no one to compete with her for Hua Yueye.
She picked up a knife. While Hua Yueye was talking to Su Qingwen, she quickly made a cut at the joint of the swing.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness Concubine Xian, the swing is ready. It can be hung up now." Li Ruhua bent down and said.
"My goodness, it's done so quickly. You're really a dexterous girl!" Su Qingwen stood up in surprise. She ran to the swing excitedly and examined it.
It was really nice. The workmanship was very delicate. There were even carved patterns on it. There were also two ropes at the connection with the tree for fixing. It looked really sturdy.
"Someone, go and fix this swing beside that tree." Hua Yueye gave the order.
