The news told by Miaoyu made Qin Yunyi very worried, and she kept thinking in a sitting posture, and waited until Miao Ning came to report that it was a letter from Ditai Palace, and His Majesty was late for today's criticism, so she didn't change her posture.

This is a code, indicating that His Majesty is going to summon other concubines in Tianqing Palace today.

Qin Yunyi nodded, "You go to the inner division, let Miaoping come to Ronghua Palace when she is fine, I have something to ask her." ”

Since His Majesty didn't come, Qin Yunyi asked someone to loosen his hair and change into lighter clothes, now it's okay during the day, but there is wind at night, and it's not yet time to wear thick clothes, Qin Yunyi asked someone to find a cloak and put it on himself.

In order not to take bitter medicine, Qin Yunyi cherishes his body very much.

Miao Ping came with dinner, Qin Yunyi beckoned her to eat together, saying that she would eat together, but she sat at the top, Miao Ping put a small snack table and sat at the bottom, Qin Yunyi left Miao Qing Miao An to let them eat together, and the rest of the people retreated to the outside of the hall to serve.

"Today's meal is a blessing to Jiang Neishi. Miao An said mischievously to Miao Ping.

"Niangniang doesn't want to give Miao'an any more food in the future, so she will eat the palace maid's regular food, and save her from saying these heartless empty words. Miao Ping said that the female officer's clothes are maroon, and the unprovoked person is a few years old, Miao Ping is a straight character, and after being a female official for two years, he is not angry and arrogant.

That is, in front of the old master and the little sister, there can still be some of the same as before.

"I am the palace maid of Ronghua Palace, does the internal catering department dare to treat me slowly. Miao An said with a smile.

Qin Yunyi couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth when he saw them laughing, "I haven't asked you all the time, how are you doing in the inner division?"

Miao Ping nodded, "I am Your Majesty's personal order, and I am the person next to Niangniang, no one in the inner division embarrass me, and then there is Manager Han, who often comes to guide me, and finally does not fall into the name of Niangniang." ”

"I'm always worried that because of my connections, it's hard for you to do it in the company. Qin Yunyi said, "The complexity of this internal division is far greater than the dispute between the harem concubines. ”

"I am the mother's person, so in the inner division, I only need to worry about three kinds of people, His Majesty's people, the queen's mother's people, and the queen mother's people. Miao Ping said, "Your Majesty does not use the people of the inner court to manage the inner court, the people of the queen mother and the queen mother, as long as they act properly, they will not be able to catch the horse's feet, at most they will be a few words to squeeze a few words." ”

"Apart from these three kinds of people, are there many people in the harem?" Qin Yunyi asked.

"There are a little bit, there are more than 100 people in the inner division who have positions, and there are many palace maids who work underneath, and the idle department is fine, and the number of important departments has received offerings from all over the place. It's only you, Niangniang, who haven't touched the mind of the inner division at all. Miao Ping said, "Spread the news, give it a convenience, if you really want to do something for the concubines, it depends on the size of the matter and the amount of honorarium." ”

"They are all the masters who do not slip and do not slip away, and do not scatter eagles when they do not see rabbits. ”

"Based on your observations, who do you think has the most people?" Qin Yunyi asked.

"Queen's mother. Miao Ping said, "The Queen Mother's people have been many years ago, but in the past two years, they have gradually been pushed down a lot by the Queen Mother's people." ”

Qin Yunyi tilted his head suspiciously, "The queen's people are all supported after entering the palace, although the queen mother's people are earlier than the queen, they are not more than half a year earlier, before the first emperor fell seriously ill, but Concubine Li has been in charge of harem affairs for a long time, have you ever seen anyone from Concubine Li?"

Miao Ping shook his head, "The Inner Division changed a large number of people when His Majesty ascended the throne, and I heard that it was the Queen Mother who changed the concubine's people. ”

"Anyway, I'm someone who hasn't seen any Concubine Li. ”

"What about Jin Zhaoyi?" Qin Yunyi asked.

"I haven't heard of it. Miao Ping shook his head and said, "Jin Zhaoyi was bullied by the Queen Mother as soon as she entered the palace, and later it was better to have the holy favor, and the inner division had a pair of sharp eyes, if there was really a person with Concubine Li, she couldn't watch Jin Zhaoyi being bullied like that at first." ”

Qin Yunyi nodded, but she still had doubts in her heart, Concubine Li didn't have to be favored for a while, she was spoiled for more than 20 years, especially in the last ten years, she was the sixth palace, the queen mother was no different from being abolished at that time, living in seclusion in the palace, and not coming out to walk around, such a favorite concubine, her manpower, can all be disintegrated immediately after the death of the first emperor?

Can the queen mother, who lives in seclusion in the palace, really recognize all the concubines?

Although Jin Zhaoyi agreed to cooperate with the concubine, she was still a little apprehensive in her heart, so she went to Yushou Palace to find her aunt and expressed her worries, "The concubine is different from us. ”

"She is a poor woman from northern Xinjiang, she has never read a few books, and she doesn't know a few words, but she is a little more bloody than you. Concubine Li said, "She wants to fight, she dares to fight." ”

"Fight also has to talk about the way. Jin Zhaoyi said, "Otherwise, you will put yourself in danger in vain." ”

"Since you have chosen to be complicit with her, you must sweep the tail up, and think more about it when you are fine, what will happen if you fail or are discovered?" said Concubine Li, "Don't fold yourself in." ”

"Auntie. Jin Zhaoyi sighed, "As soon as I thought of facing the concubine, I panicked. ”

"You're stupid. Concubine Li said, "Now the concubine wants to rush ahead, so you should beat the side drum on the side, and don't take it yourself." Besides, you have to learn to use your strength. ”

"You don't want to face the concubine directly, so let others face the concubine. ”

Jin Zhaoyi nodded hesitantly, and Concubine Li saw that she didn't understand it, so she said it clearly, "Like a concubine." ”

"Such as a concubine?" Jin Zhaoyi asked rhetorically, "You mean the Queen Mother?"

"The Queen Mother was suppressed by me in the past, and she didn't have the strength to make it, what kind of good were the two of them when the queen entered the palace, but she was proud, but in the past two years, I haven't been as eager as I was at the beginning. ”

"If such a good situation as a concubine entering the palace has not fixed the holy grace, it is useless to give birth to the emperor's heir. Concubine Li said, "The Queen Mother has always disliked the concubine, but there is no reason, you have to give her this reason, let her go and confront the concubine, Your Majesty will be difficult to do at that time." ”

Jin Zhaoyi nodded, and then looked sad again, "I have served Your Majesty a lot of times, at least more than Concubine Lu and Concubine Yao, they both gave birth to princes, but my belly is not angry." ”

She looked at Concubine Li expectantly, Concubine Li gave birth to three princes in a row, even if one died, she also raised two, she vaguely remembered that she heard her mother say when she was a child, her aunt has a secret recipe, so she wanted to ask, "I want to find someone to ask, but there is a secret recipe for giving birth?"

"Children are fate. Concubine Li persuaded her, "No matter how many times you serve Your Majesty, can you be more than the concubine? ”

Jin Zhaoyi saw that Concubine Li was reluctant to say, so she didn't ask any more, only sighed for her blessings, and didn't say anything later.

She didn't know that Concubine Li didn't want her to be pregnant with a dragon heir at all, so how could she tell her if she had a secret recipe.

The deep palace is getting heavier, and in the blink of an eye it is October, wearing thick clothes, some are afraid of the cold, and the stove is lit early, and the knees of the poor concubine have been raised, and there is nothing wrong with walking.

Cui Jieyu never came to her, but she was still worried about it, and blocked her on Cui Jieyu's way back from Ronghua Palace, "The concubine treats you so well." ”

Naturally, the concubine has also investigated.

"I don't know if the concubine knows that you didn't want her to be good?"

"I don't expect her to be good. Cui Jieyu said, "She also knows." ”

"You're not just an ordinary Jieyu. The concubine said affirmatively, "Since you say so, why do you go to Ronghua Palace every once in a while to ask for peace?"

"I just want her to look at me and hear me. Cui Jieyu said, "Then she will remember that the female corpse hanging on Xiao Jialiang, she is alive to carry other people's lives." ”

"Whose life?" asked the concubine.

Cui Jieyu glanced at her, "The poor concubine doesn't even know the life experience of the concubine now, and I don't have anything to say to the mother." ”

"I know. The concubine stopped her and said, "After the concubine is a criminal minister, her relatives have all died, and she is the only one left." ”

"What does this have to do with you?"

"I'm her sister-in-law's sister. Cui Jieyu said, "Her mother is going to be martyred, and she hanged herself with the whole family, and she lived alone, do you think you can't hate?"

The concubine narrowed her eyes, "So she is good to you because she is ashamed of you." ”

"And you hate her, and you want to take revenge on her. ”

"I didn't just want to get revenge on her. Cui Jieyu said, and after she approached the concubine, she whispered, "I want her to die." ”

The concubine looked at her for a long time before she hooked the corners of her mouth and laughed, "I finally saw a ruthless one in this deep palace." ”

"We have the same goal, why don't we work together?"

Cui Jieyu looked straight ahead, "If things are so simple, as soon as I enter the palace, I will get my wish, why wait until now, wait for the mother to join forces." ”

"I want her to die, I can't let myself show my whereabouts and let my family suffer. ”

"You say that the concubine is ashamed of you, and when she sees you, she thinks of your sister, but will she feel sad?" said the concubine, "if she doesn't care at all, isn't your method useless." ”

"If she didn't care, she wouldn't have avoided it all the time. Cui Jieyu said, "When Your Majesty is away, she sometimes has nightmares at night, and then can't sleep all night." ”

"It's happening more and more often. Cui Jieyu said, "Even if she is now a concubine and the top of His Majesty's heart, that day must be the most tragic and indelible day in her life, she wants to forget, I prefer to let her remember." ”

"Blunt knives sharpen meat, but that's it. ”

The concubine pondered for a while, and then said with a smile, "How long will you grind your flesh with a blunt knife?" ”

"People die and have souls, and in the yang world, there are worries that will linger nearby. The concubine said, "The guilt of seeing you is not as good as the guilt of seeing her sister-in-law and your sister." ”

Cui Jieyu looked at her and said with a tacit smile, "It turns out that the concubine can really do a lot more than a Jieyu." ”
