Chapter 13: Master and Servant

Mama Zhao, who had sent away Eunuch Zhang, turned around and returned to the inner hall, and couldn't help but look at Concubine Wan who was still pondering on the side. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing this, Mama Zhao couldn't help but bow her head and stand aside. At this time, the master did not speak, and she, a slave, naturally did not dare to speak casually.

After a long while, when Wan Guifei, who came back to her senses, looked up at Mama Zhao, her face was already calm, "Mama, how credible are the words of the eunuch?"

How could Concubine Wan not know that these old eunuchs, who have been in the palace for most of their lives, act the most tactfully, and they often leave a little leeway in speaking.

Mama Zhao couldn't help but look at her when she saw her master asking about it.

"Niangniang," she stepped forward, bowed down and poured a cup of hot tea for her master, and held it to Concubine Wan's hand, "According to the old slave, that eunuch will never dare to lie to you." ”

At most, it's just a few things to hide. However, in order to reassure the master's heart, Mama Zhao never dared to say this sentence.

"Really?" Wan Guifei took the tea cup from Mama Zhao's hand, but she was still a little uneasy.

Although the show girl is not outstanding and does not pose any threat to her, if she is let go so easily, will others still think that she Wan Zhen'er is weak?

It's just that at this time, the Empress Dowager Zhou is staring closely, but she has to think of a better way to get rid of the show girl quietly.

Mama Zhao saw her master's eyes flash, and her mind turned sharply, and she suddenly came up with another way.

"Mother, in a few days, the painting will be selected. You haven't yet designated the court painter for this selection. Seeing Wan Guifei raise her eyes, she couldn't help but bow her head and smile, "According to the old slave, the court painter Mao Wei is worthy of a big responsibility." ”

When Concubine Wan heard this, she couldn't help but chuckle.

How did I forget this person? This Mao Wei claimed to be a descendant of the court painter Mao Yanshou during the Han Yuan Emperor, who was born in a family of painters since childhood, but is a family of scholars.

Among the painters in the palace, this person is good at painting human shapes, so ugly and old, he will get the truth. It's just that this person, like his ancestor Mao Yanshou, loves money the most.

thinks that Wang Zhaojun is so stunning in the world, but he can't match Mao Yanshou's brush. What's more, now this Zhang Wan, who is not outstanding.

If you use some money yourself, then in this section of the selection, it is natural to let a show girl who is not outstanding lose the selection.

After the show girl named Zhang Wan was defeated, she didn't have the identity of a show girl and was just an ordinary palace maid, and it would be much easier for her to do it herself.

When the time comes, he who is in charge of the harem doesn't even need to find an excuse, he can arrange that Zhang Wan in a corner of the palace. After a period of time, after everyone has forgotten about today's Imperial Garden, it will be more natural to do it yourself.

Thinking of this, Wan Guifei couldn't help but smile and glanced at Mama Zhao on the side.

"Mama, you're still thoughtful. The queen painter selected for this painting will order that Mao Wei. ”

When Mama Zhao heard this, her face was still humble, but she couldn't help but feel proud in her heart.

Of course, she had to think a little more thoughtfully. If you don't be thoughtful about everything, how can you become the number one celebrity around the concubine?

Mama Zhao also knew that although she was Wan Guifei's godmother, it was a long time ago after all. Today's concubine Niangniang is no longer the timid little palace maid who first entered the palace many years ago.

Everyone knows that today's imperial concubines favor the harem, and in this palace, I don't know how many people want to show up in front of the mother, in order to soar.

In such a situation, if she is not smarter and thinks more thoughtfully, how can she sit firmly in the position of the first celebrity next to her mother with only that little bit of family affection from decades ago!

Wan Guifei saw that Mama Zhou was still the same as many years ago, thinking about everything for her own sake, and the expression on her face was a little gentler.

"Mama," she got up and grabbed Mama Zhao's hand, as if she was as affectionate as many years ago, "This painting selection will be handed over to you." ”

Mama Zhao's thoughts, Concubine Wan Guifei didn't understand. It's just that she doesn't mind.

There must be someone around him, and Mama Zhao is not only her godmother, but now she has to rely on herself for everything. If you think that someone like Mama Zhao will definitely not betray herself.

In this case, why wouldn't she be happy to have such a henchman who thinks about her in everything and is loyal to her?

As for the future of Mama Zhao's prosperous and wealthy children and grandchildren, it is simply easy for her at this time, just give it to her, so what's the matter?

Wan Guifei's kind trust obviously made Mama Zhao even more happy.

"Niangniang, you can rest assured. She took a half step back, half squatted and saluted, "The old slave will go to the Twelve Prisons tomorrow." ”

"Hmm. Wan Guifei nodded, and just sat back, but saw that Mama Zhao looked up and looked like she wanted to speak again.

"Mama, what's wrong with you today?" she smiled and waved her hand, "Between our mother and daughter, what can't we say directly?"

When Mama Zhao saw that the master mentioned the word mother and daughter, she couldn't help but feel a vigilance in her heart. She has been by Concubine Wan's side for decades, how could she not know that this is the mother who is talking to her.

"Niangniang," Seeing this, she hurriedly stepped forward and quickly replied, "Wan Shoufu has sent a message from there, asking you to take care of his distant niece Wan Ning'er in this show girl selection." ”

Hearing this, Concubine Wan couldn't help but smile contemptuously.

Wan'an, the old fox, he himself did nothing in the previous dynasty, and he fell into the name of the old papier-mΓ’chΓ© pavilion. Now, did you even hit the idea into the harem?

Hmph, since that's the case, this palace will fulfill him.

"Mama, you go and tell the comeder. In this selection, the show girl Wan Ninger will inevitably be on the list!"

When Mama Zhao heard this, she was shocked, and then hurriedly spoke to persuade her.

"Mother, you have to think twice. According to the old slave, Wan Ning'er, this daughter, among the selected show girls this time, whether it is appearance or talent, it is the best choice. If so......"

Mama Zhao didn't finish speaking, but was interrupted by Wan Guifei raising her head and coldly. "Mama, do you think that this palace will be inferior to that Wan Ning'er?"

As soon as Wan Guifei said this, she was suddenly shocked that Mama Zhao's face turned pale, and she knelt down with a pop.

"The minions don't dare. Niangniang, you are naturally beautiful and noble, how can you compare with that little show girl?" Mama Zhao explained while kowtowing with a white face, and secretly regretted that she had said the wrong thing.

blamed myself for being proud just now, and under negligence, I committed the taboo of my mother.

Seeing that Mama Zhao's forehead was already red, Concubine Wan waved her hand.

"Okay, Mama Zhao, you get up first. She looked at the godmother who was kneeling on the ground, and the look on her face finally eased a little, "Bengong also knows that you said that for the sake of Bengong." ”

If it weren't for this, how could she let the other party up so easily.

"You go down first, this palace has its own measure in this matter. ”
