Chapter 22: Defeated
Three days later, when the results of the painting selection came out, the concubines in the palace couldn't help but be surprised. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
No one thought that His Majesty would only select so few people among the many show girls. And the remaining unsuccessful show girls will be arranged by Wan Guifei to serve in various places in the palace.
The meaning of this made the concubines who had lived in the harem for most of their lives couldn't help but speculate cautiously.
And when the placement results of the undrafted girls were transmitted back to Chuxiu Palace, Li's mother sighed in her heart.
Regarding the result of Zhang Wanhui's defeat, although Li's mother has long been prepared. But in the face of Zhang Wan being arranged to go to the cold palace, she still couldn't help but be shocked.
Among the hundreds of undrafted girls, why was Miss Wan arranged to go to the cold palace alone?
Is it ......? Mother Li remembered what had happened in the palace in the past few days, and she couldn't help but chuckle in her heart.
The affairs of this harem have always been taken care of by Concubine Wan, so this time the arrangement of these undrafted girls will naturally be no exception.
It stands to reason that this Wan Guifei should not specifically target Zhang Wancai. After all, the two of them never seem to have met each other.
Except for that time at the Imperial Garden Palace Banquet! Could it be that this time, let this Wan girl fall into the eyes of Concubine Wan?
"Miss Wan," Mother Li, who was in a hurry, looked at Zhang Wan, who was about to go back to the room, and couldn't help but stop the other party's footsteps, "That day in the Imperial Garden, you ......"
Is it an old man who has lived in the harem for more than 30 years, Mother Li only thought about it for a moment, and then guessed something.
Zhang Wan was slightly stunned by this, and then shook her head in confusion.
"Auntie, I don't know what you're talking about?" For her, that day was over, and there was no need to explain anything to the others.
Seeing that Zhang Wan didn't look like a fake, Mother Li shook her head with a smile before she gently changed her tone.
"After you fainted in the Imperial Garden that day, how well did you get better? You must know that this cold palace is no more difficult than other places, and the conditions are the most difficult. Miss Wan, you went over there, but you have to be careful. ”
Mother Li pondered as she spoke. I hope I'm thinking too much! Otherwise, once this Wan Guifei really holds a grudge against Miss Wan; That Wan girl is going to the cold palace, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky.
Thinking of this, Mother Li couldn't help but sigh again. However, she herself is just a housekeeper aunt in Chuxiu Palace, and she is a soft-spoken person, and she can't help much if she wants to.
Seeing Mother Li's expression like this, as smart as Zhang Wan, how could she not guess the other party's thoughts?
It's just that Zhang Wan didn't feel bad about going to the cold palace. For her, all kinds of human feelings in the world are cold and warm, and they are all love disasters.
In this case, what difference does it make for her Zhang Wan to go where to go?
Moreover, in the previous hexagram, he also hinted that he wanted to go with the flow. In this case, what does it matter if you go to the cold palace for a while?
It's just that Mother Li's words are also kind in the end.
So, Zhang Wan, who has always been a little cold, couldn't help but smile and nodded at Mother Li. "Auntie, thank you for taking care of me these days."
After saying that, she bowed again, then turned around and walked back to her room and cleaned up.
After all, the edict just now made it clear that let them, the unsuccessful show girls, leave Chuxiu Palace on the same day and go to the palaces to report.

Half an hour later, the news that Zhang Wan was placed in the cold palace also reached the ears of Concubine Ji Shu of Chengqian Palace.
In this regard, Concubine Ji Shufei also sighed slightly.
Now it seems that this Wan Guifei still refuses to let go of this innocent little girl.
In the final analysis, it was her mother and son who affected this Zhang Wan girl.
Ayi, who sent the news, saw that the master was a little stunned, and couldn't help but speak. "Mother, you think you need us to ...... secretly"
Before Ayi's words were finished, Concubine Ji Shu, who was sitting upright, shook her head.
"No need." She knew what Ayi meant, she just wanted to move from the twelve prisons, so that she could transfer that Miss Zhang Wan out of the bitter cold palace, and it would be convenient for herself and others to take care of one or two.
However, now is not the best time.
In Concubine Ji Shu's opinion, if she made her own move at this time, then Concubine Wan would probably think that Zhang Wan was the person from her Chengqian Palace. If this is the case, then the other party may not let Zhang Wan go.
Besides, the matter of the Imperial Garden has only passed, and Wan Guifei is probably still angry at this time. At this time, it is better for me to slow down first, and after a while, the concubine Wan Guifei will be discouraged, and it will be much easier to do it herself.
After all, judging from the current situation, although Concubine Wan has a grudge against Zhang Wan, she will not really put a show girl who inadvertently spoils her good deeds in her eyes.
But if Zhang Wan had a relationship with her Chengqian Palace, it would be different. Wan Guifei, who has always regarded herself as a thorn in her eye, is eager to get rid of the people around her.
Thinking of this, Concubine Ji Shufei lowered her head and sighed slightly, before she looked up at the palace maid Ayi.
"Ayi, just let our people watch secretly. As long as that Miss Zhang Wan doesn't worry about her life, we don't have to take action. ”
After speaking, Concubine Ji Shufei got up and walked back to the inner hall.
Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and it stands to reason that on this day of every month, His Majesty the Emperor will come to her Chengqian Palace. In the past, Concubine Ji Shu would not care about this matter, after all, His Majesty would not come for many new days in the past.
In the past, she could not care about this matter. But at this time, Concubine Ji Shu had to pay attention. The fact that her son was almost framed in the Imperial Garden made Concubine Ji Shu have to be careful.
Now it seems that as his son grows up, only the protection of the Empress Dowager Zhou is obviously not enough. For the sake of her son, she must cheer up and deal with her emperor husband.
Only when the emperor pays more attention to her, she and her son, in this harem surrounded by jackals, tigers and leopards, can live more safely!
At the same time, the crown prince Zhu Youjiao, who had been secretly sending people to pay attention to Chuxiu Palace, also got the news that Zhang Wan was defeated and sent to the cold palace.
In this regard, the young Zhu Youzhu felt an inexplicable joy in his heart, for some reason; Then, there was a trace of inexplicable distress.
What's wrong with you? Zhu Youzhu shook his head, and then turned his gaze to the direction of the cold palace.
Born in the cold palace and living in the cold palace for five years, he knows better than anyone the hardships of doing miscellaneous labor in the cold palace.
In Zhu Youzhang's opinion, the girl named Zhang Wan, who had fainted, was already weak, and if she went to the cold palace, she might not be able to survive.
Do you want to make a move? Zhu Youzhu couldn't help but ponder. After all, the show girl named Zhang Wan suffered this catastrophe because of herself.
After a few breaths, Zhu Youzhu still shook his head helplessly. At this time, he can't make a move.
This harem matter, after all, is a family affair of the father. As a son, if you don't know how to avoid suspicion, I'm afraid you will be told the truth and fall into the charge of coveting the harem.
And such a charge is obviously not something he can afford now.
Besides, he believed in his mother. With the wisdom and kindness of the mother concubine, she will definitely not let the girl named Zhang Wan suffer any big harm.
