Chapter 285: Whose Pawn
Langxia's house, in general, is "the home located in Langxia", where the servants of the palace who have no rank and position live. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
There are a large number of jujube trees in these courtyards, and the fruits are simply abnormal, and people in the small capital often make them into jujube wine and sell them outside the palace. Although this wine tastes nothing special, it is a rare thing from the inner garden of the palace, and the market is always in demand every time it comes out.
But the people of Xiaodu are also eye-opening, knowing that although they can live in chaos by selling two taels of wine, they are only a general person who succumbs to the corridor after all. If you want to climb up, you will pay attention to leave a few pots and give them to those who can send them above, so that you can climb up and take some favor.
Among them, there is a palace maid, A-Yao, who is the best of this kind.
For a woman to get ahead in the palace, there are only two ways: to be a female official, or to become a concubine. The latter is not feasible and is a well-known secret in the palace, while the former A-Yao is talentless, virtuous and unqualified. As the most inferior rough girl in Qingning Palace, no matter how passionate she is, she has no place to exert her strength.
So when Shou Ninghou appeared at Langxia's house and she happened to receive her, her heart was already filled with ripples.
"Say hello to Hou Ye, Hou Ye Wan An." Seeing that Zhang Heling is not yet the age of the crown, he is a candidate. Coupled with the prominent identity of the middle palace's brother, Ah Yao naturally couldn't wait to take the initiative to post it. It's just that why did he come to Langxia's house? She couldn't help asking, "Master Hou has condescended to this place, what do you have to do when you come here?" ā
"Well, the little lady really can talk. I think with your qualifications, how can you have to serve as a servant, why do you have to do a hard job? Tut-tut, it's a pity, it's a pity, it......'s a pity" Zhang Heling seemed to be smiling, there was something to say, and he seemed to be no stranger to this A-Yao.
It turned out that he had come to Langxia's house not once or twice. Because people in the palace often brew jujube wine and sell it outside the palace, it is also a place to exchange rumors inside and outside the palace. It can be said that if you want to know anything new outside the palace in the palace, you can find out by sitting here for half a day. If you want to know the secrets of the palace outside the palace, you need to spend some money, and you can find one or two.
Because of this, the people who live here have a common trait, their mouths are not closed. Zhang Heling took a fancy to this, so he came here to find people from Qingning Palace.
Ah Yao was happy to hear it, thinking that the day of turning over was finally coming, not to mention how rich and noble he was to be looked at by the Hou Ye, even if he just went to the middle palace to be a close attendant, it was also a matter of glorious lintel!
After making a gesture, A-Yao hurriedly ran to the inner hall, dug up a jar of treasured fine jujube wine, and knelt down to offer it to Zhang Heling, the meaning was also obvious, please ask him to bring it up.
After receiving this wine, the mutually beneficial relationship between them has been reached, Zhang Heling beckoned, motioned for Ah Yao to approach, and commanded in her ear: "The rumors are wrong, Ben Hou just wants to find out a few words of truth." You're in that Qingning Palace, have you heard some news......"
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Not many days later, when Zhang Heling stepped into the threshold of Kunning Palace again, he had already mastered a lot of secrets about Li Mu'er.
For example, King Jing once wrote a letter to the Empress Dowager to ask for a female bachelor to be accepted as a concubine, for example, the female bachelor went to sneak into King Jing's mansion last summer and arrested King Jing by herself, and for example, the real identity of the female bachelor is actually the only daughter of the Li Zi Provincial family in the previous dynasty!
Although these secrets are no longer a secret to those parties, for the queen's family, they are still big gossip that has just been released.
How to make good use of these secrets has also become a question for several people to meditate on.
"Then report all these facts to the emperor, and then fan the flames and make the emperor suspicious of her!"
If Zhang Heling is still young, Zhang Yanling, who is speaking at this time, is even younger. His words obviously didn't get his brother's approval, "You idiot, you messed up the couplet last time, and you have to mess up bad ideas!" Think about it, can the emperor not know this? Will the Empress Dowager force the emperor to get rid of her on this matter? Now she is still doing an important errand in front of the emperor, which shows that the emperor did not suspect her because of this. ā
"So what do you say? Sister, what do you think? ā
The queen, who had never spoken, was called by Zhang Yanling, came back to her senses, frowned and got up, pacing slowly while thinking about countermeasures. But most of what she did in previous years was due to Zheng Jinlian's strategy, and now Zheng Jinlian can't get a concubine as she wishes, and the transaction between them has long been broken.
If she wants to think about it herself, she really has more than enough heart......
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
In Qingning Palace, the Empress Dowager, who was on a high seat, looked at Ah Yao kneeling in the hall and nodded her head several times. In the end, she punned on the words: "The words that should be passed on have been passed on, and your task has been completed?" ā
Ah Yao hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "The Empress Dowager forgives her sins, and the slave maid is only a thorn in the side of the Empress Dowager as a female bachelor, so it doesn't hurt to think about revealing a few words of privacy!" ā
"Who said that the mourning family regarded her as a thorn in their side?" The Empress Dowager sighed lightly and seemed to be thoughtful, "Not only is she not a thorn in the side of the mourning family, but she also has something to do with the mourning family." ā
Zheng Jinlian's body trembled when she heard this.
The Empress Dowager didn't find out, and Gu Zi continued: "It is precisely because of this relationship that I want to continue to keep her in the palace and use her well." The royal family has royal survival guidelines, and some things are best seen through without saying it. The words you passed out of the mourning palace today were fortunately passed on to the queen, and she will also thank the mourning family in the future. ā
After speaking, she waved her hand, and two guards soon came in from outside the hall, one on the left and one on the right.
Ah Yao was surprised, and begged for mercy again: "The Empress Dowager spares her life, the slave maid just told Marquis Zhang, and then didn't tell others!" Ask the Empress Dowager to spare the slaves! ā
The Empress Dowager's face was obviously displeased, she glanced at her with annoyance, and said lightly: "The mourning family won't do anything to you...... If you are punished a little, then Zhang Hou can feel more sorry for you, right? ā
It turned out that her use value had not yet ended, and Ah Yao trembled all over, looking at the face with wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and an indifferent expression, and her heart couldn't help but be full of fear.
She suddenly didn't understand, she didn't know who she was being used by, and whether the story of the so-called praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches was quietly happening to her.
And the old man who seemed to be kind but secretly angry glanced at Zheng Jinlian beside her, shook his head and spoke again, turned to her and said, "If you want to impress the little marquis, it is not enough to pass on a few secrets. At this moment, the little marquis must be confused, if you can point him out one or two, it can be regarded as valuable. You go and be punished first, and when you know that it is terrible, the mourning family will come and teach you......"
To punish her and help her? The Empress Dowager's mind Ah Yao couldn't figure it out, but she felt that she would be full of fear when she looked at her again, and compared to this, the punishment she was about to suffer didn't seem so terrible...... (To be continued.) )
