In Jiaolan Palace, the palace maid weaved tea for Meng Xuanyu and He Si. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Meng Xuanyu stretched out her hand to take He Sizhi's hand, and said with a guilty face: "I'm sorry, Qianniang, I originally wanted to help you, but it was self-defeating instead of trying to succeed." ”

She addressed herself as "I", not "Bengong", which shows the love between the two.

He Si said: "Niangniang doesn't have to apologize, and she doesn't have to take the concubine's words to heart. The slave is fortunate to be treated as a friend and treated with sincerity, but how can she not see the kindness of the mother because the concubine is deliberately embarrassed. Whether the slave can become a Shanggong or not, the second thing to see is the efforts of the slave and the maid, and the most important thing is to see the mind of the concubine, which is not something that the mother can control. But the mother's heart for the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid will always be remembered in the heart. ”

Meng Xuanyu sighed deeply, as if there was an unsolvable sorrow on her face, and said: "Yu Yu has an unbreakable knot in my heart, no matter how hard I try to ease the relationship between our sisters, Yu Yu still has a deep misunderstanding of me. ”

As if pleading, he held He Sizhi's hand with both hands, looked at her with both eyes, and said, "Coriander must not be angry with her because of today's events." ”

He Sizhi raised his eyebrows, there were two cold arrogances, and said: "She is a high-ranking concubine, and the slave is just the head of the Si Weaving Division, how dare the slave and the maid." ”

But the tone is clearly resentful.

Meng Xuanyu looked at her, paused for a while, and said: "Yu Yu is tall and simple, and she has never managed the house, the harem is so complicated, the emperor let her be in charge of the harem, I am worried that the emperor has ulterior motives, and I am even more afraid that she will not be able to cope with it." So Coriander Niang, whether you become a Shanggong or not, I still implore you to do your best to assist Yu Yu. ”

He added: "I thought that letting her support you to be Shanggong would allow you to assist her to help her, and you would also have a good future, which would be the best of both worlds." But I didn't expect it to backfire. ”

He Sizhi looked at Meng Xuanyu and sighed: "Niangniang, you are too good." You have been in the palace for so many years, how do you treat the concubine Niangniang, the slave and maid see it in their eyes. What the concubine does to you, the slave and maid also see it. She's so ignorant, why should you think about her. ”

has a huge harem, but not everyone can manage it, not to mention being sandwiched between the emperor and the queen mother. Concubine Shu didn't say anything about how she made jokes with a cold eye, at least she should ignore it.

Meng Xuanyu withdrew her hand, lowered her eyes, and said, "Coriander Niang, Yu Yu is my sister, I don't want you to say that she is not." No matter what Yu Yu does to me, I only have one sister, her, and blood and family are constantly connected. ”

As he spoke, he raised his eyes again, frowned, and said, "Actually, I know why Yu Yu complains about me." When I was at home, my mother was cold and unwilling to submit to my father, so the relationship between my father and mother was not harmonious, but my aunt was more considerate, and my father often came to my aunt's yard, and even took Yu Yu was ignored by my father, and it was normal for Yu to have a grudge in her heart. Later, Yu Yu entered the palace first, and then the emperor accepted me into the palace. The emperor loves me more than me, but he pretended to pet Yu Yu and made Yu Yu block the wind and rain for me in front of me, although I didn't agree with the emperor doing this, but I couldn't persuade the emperor, Yu Yu hated me even more deservedly. Later, we became pregnant at the same time, and the emperor chose to protect my child but failed to protect Yuyu's child, and the knot between our sisters could not be untied. In the final analysis, the emperor and I owe Yu Yu. ”

He Si said: "Niang Niang doesn't have to take everything on herself. Zhao Guogong and Zhao Guogong are not on good terms, it is a matter of Zhao Guogong's own personality, what does it have to do with you. And you saved the emperor back then, and the emperor originally wanted to take her into the palace was also the girl who saved her back then, but later mistakenly thought that the concubine was that person, and mistakenly took her into the palace as a concubine. If you want the slave to say, the slave still thinks that she occupies the position of your concubine. ”

Meng Xuanyu shook her head, looking deeply guilty, and said, "Coriander Niang, you don't understand, you don't understand my guilt towards Yu Yu." ”

He Sizhi saw her like this, and while disagreeing with her being too soft and kind, he couldn't bear it, so he had to say: "Okay, okay, it's really hard for the slave to understand why Niangniang feels sorry for the concubine, Niangniang is too pure and kind." ”

He also said: "Niangniang doesn't have to worry about the slave and maid anymore, the slave and maid came today to talk to Niangniang, and the dispute between the Shang Palace and the Shang Palace was mentioned at will, but I didn't expect that Zhao Niangniang was wronged in front of the concubine, and it was also the slave and maid." ”

Meng Xuanyu said: "Otherwise, I will beg the emperor again." ”

He Sizhi hurriedly said: "Don't be a mother, the emperor doesn't like Niangniang to interfere in the affairs of the harem, if it is because of the slave and maid that the emperor does not like the mother, then it is really the slave's sin." ”

Saying that, he stood up and said to Meng Xuanyu: "Niangniang, the slave maid has also been out for a long time, and it is time to go back to the Shanggong Bureau." Saying that, he bent his knees, looked at her stomach and said with a light smile: "Niangniang take care of your body, I hope that Niangniang can give birth to His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor safely in the future." ”

Meng Xuanyu looked disappointed and sighed: "It seems that I really have no ability, I want to do something for you but I can't help at all." Saying that, he stood up and said, "I'll send Coriander out." ”

The two of them continued while walking Meng Xuanyu: "Qian Niang will often come to talk to me in the future, I only have a friend in the palace, Xu Zhaorong and Zheng Cairen and others are also good to me, but they are also the emperor's concubines, and it is inevitable that they will have a pimple in their hearts and cannot communicate with them, and the only sister Yu has this attitude towards me, if Qian Niang does not come to talk to me, I don't know how to pass the time in this palace." ”

He Si said: "As long as the mother does not dislike the slave maid, the slave maid will always come to disturb her." Then the two of them had arrived at the gate of the Jiaolan Palace.

He Sizhi turned around and bowed his knees to Meng Xuanyu to say goodbye, Meng Xuanyu watched her walk away with a smile, and then returned to the Jiaolan Palace, sat back on the chair, and sank her eyes.

Zhihua walked in and stood next to her, and called softly: "Niangniang......"

Meng Xuanyu didn't respond, her whole face was heavy.

Zhihua asked in a low voice: "The slave really doesn't understand, He Sizhi is loyal to Niangniang, why don't you support her to sit in the position of Shanggong." ”

Just like Jiang Yu said, Meng Xuanyu knew that she accompanied He Sizhi to Zichen Palace, and her self-recommendation would cause the concubine to dislike He Sizhi, but she still accompanied her, so naturally she didn't want He Sizhi to be Shang Gong at all.

Meng Xuanyu said: "Are you stupid to be in the palace, what is the situation in the harem now, even Zuo Shanggong wants to leave the palace in advance to avoid the turmoil, and the emperor doesn't like me to meddle in the palace power, why should I get involved in this, it will only make the Empress Dowager Cui regard the palace more and more as a thorn in her side." ”

If she asked Empress Dowager Cui to invite her to copy the scriptures like last time, with her current body, she didn't know if she could hide it.

She befriended He Sizhi because the He family was a family of female officials and had good connections in the harem, and she needed to know the movements of the harem through her.

But the palace power is in the hands of Meng Yuyu, and the Empress Dowager Cui has controlled the harem for many years and has a deep foundation.

I don't know why, Meng Xuanyu feels more and more that Meng Xuanyu is now acting neatly and neatly, and even with some scoundrel-like unreasonableness, unlike the arrogant Meng Xuanyu before.

Could it really be because of the loss of children that made her temperament change greatly? Meng Xuanyu thought of what Jiang Yu said to her today, and pressed her head with a headache.

Zhihua cautiously mentioned it again: "There is also the Guanyin who my aunt asked my wife to send in, and the noble concubine Niangniang left it in Zichen Palace, could it be that she has already seen through Niangniang's plan?

Meng Xuanyu said: "It was the palace that ignored it, I didn't expect Meng Xuanyu to leave things behind." However, she didn't see through Bengong's plan, at most, she felt that Bengong was uneasy and kind, so it was better to be careful. ”

She could have had a more elaborate and elaborate plan, but she didn't have the time or the energy to plan it all now, so she had to do it as she was.

But if even the current plan cannot be implemented, then it can only be done in a more crude and direct way. The child in her womb couldn't wait any longer, and she had to make a decision.

Meng Xuanyu muttered: "Five days later, it will be the Thousand Autumn Festival, and the queen must be asked to set up a Thousand Autumn Banquet in the harem, so that there will be a chance." ”

Meng Xuanyu was thinking about it, and there was a voice from the palace people outside: "The emperor has arrived!"

Meng Xuanyu hurriedly packed up her emotions and expressions, revealing a standard gentle expression, and then went out to greet Yu Wenhong.
