The candlelight lit up the darkness of the room, but it could not burn the solemnity that permeated the room.

Hua Xijin was wearing a dark blue brocade robe, sitting on the red sandalwood dragon carving chair, rubbing her temples tiredly. The floods in Daxing destroyed the homes of an unknown number of people, and the people of Daxing were killed and injured, and even more panicked people gathered together on their own, and moved to other places to seek refuge with relatives.

The emperor has been busy dealing with Daxing for the past two days. Disaster relief materials, ministers who appease the people's hearts and understand the people's feelings, imperial doctors who accompany them, and displaced people who urgently need to be appeased...... After arranging and dealing with it one by one, before he knew it, he had not slept for a day and a night.

He was tired, but he didn't have time to sleep, and a short time to close his eyes like this was the most forgiving rest he had given himself. Then there is the possibility of plague and starvation, which must be rebuilt...... One qiē and one qiē are so urgent, and they can't be delayed for a moment.

"Your Majesty." Zhao Gao saw that the emperor just closed his eyes for a moment and began to deal with the twists and turns, and couldn't help but open his mouth to stumble him with something else, so he hoped that he could rest for a while, "There is news from Shang Zhengju, Zijuan has already recruited. ”

"Purple Juan?" Hua Xijin was a little impatient, because he was busy with political affairs, he had forgotten who Zijuan was.

"Zijuan is a cheap maid who tries to poison Tao Xiaoyuan." Zhao Gao lowered his voice, trying to make his voice less sharp, the emperor was worried about political affairs, he had little ability as a minion, and could only make the emperor comfortable in as many details as possible. "It was Masami who instructed her."

"Alright. You can handle this matter. Hua Xijin frowned and glanced at Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao wouldn't know that he didn't have time to pay attention to the harem now.

Zhao Gao gritted his teeth, knelt down stiffly, kowtowed and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, the slave implores the emperor to rest!" ”

The emperor is a wise monarch who loves the people like a son, and he is naturally overjoyed as the emperor's people, but the emperor's body is not iron, how can he stand not eating, drinking, or sleeping? With little hope, Zhao Gao pleaded.

"I'm measured." Sure enough, the emperor refused to rest. "Hand over the Yami people to the Queen Mother to deal with."

"Yes." Zhao Gao made a big salute.

"Tao Xiaoyuan, you draw up a list of rewards and go to my private warehouse." Hua Xijin thought about it, stopped Zhao Gao and added. Although he knew that the little guy preferred practical gold leaves, he had to express his stance in the harem, lest anyone dare to step on Taomier's head.

As long as there are enough emperors' favors, no matter how stupid Taomier is, she can live safely in the harem.

"Yes."

The Imperial Palace, the Gardens.

"I heard that ......" The palace concubines, who had always been bored, gathered together in twos and threes to whisper, sometimes loud and sometimes small, and occasionally there was a burst of inhalation or a burst of gloating laughter.

After listening patiently for a while, you can know that they are talking about Tao Mi'er being poisoned.

"I heard that the palace maid who was poisoned is still alive and well even if she is caught. This peach Xiaoyuan is not too much to be spoiled. The schadenfreude in his tone couldn't be stopped, and he said it straight without even embellishment. These palace concubines are talking with needles hidden in their mouths, and it is rare to be straightforward like this.

"Hehe, if it weren't for the emperor remembering that she saved the eldest prince, I'm afraid her favor would not be as good as ours."

"She was so lucky to be caught up in this kind of thing. If you change my ......"

"She's lucky, she doesn't have any brains! When she saved the eldest prince...... "her voice was suddenly lowered, and the heads of several people were very close" stupid to home! ”

They seemed to have heard something funny, and the laughter of silver bells burst out, mixed with sarcasm and ridicule, especially harsh.

"Master." Zhiluo's eyes widened indignantly, eager to rush up and reason with those gossiping palace concubines.

Tao Mi'er was calm and relaxed: "The mouth grows on them, and it's their business how to talk about it." ”

If only everybody thought of her like that—just luck—then she wouldn't have to worry about her personal safety. Who would fight a woman who only has luck?

Luck runs out one day.

At the same time, Tao Mi'er silently retorted in her heart, she was indeed a little stupid, but she was not brainless.

"But ......!" Zhiluo was quite angry, and stomped her feet in a hurry.

"The master naturally has her reasons." Bi Qing smiled slightly, as calm as her master.

Ever since Bi Qing offered the poisonous powder she found in the Purple Juan House for seven days, Tao Mi'er gave her a rich reward and brought her to serve by her side.

Tao Mi'er knew that Biqing was ambitious, and Biqing would go to Zijuan's house privately at that time to prove that she wanted to get ahead. She is no longer as uneasy as when she first entered the palace, Biqing has emerged, and she is willing to give Biqing this opportunity.

As for whether Biqing's ambitions will get bigger and bigger, let's talk about it.

"My sister is really wronged."

Tao Mi'er didn't want to mess with that group of women, but someone wouldn't let her go. Tao Mi'er raised her head slightly and smiled brightly at the uninvited Chun Jieyu: "The concubine is not aggrieved." ”

Chun Jieyu was choked by Tao Mi'er, and paused for a few seconds before she spoke again: "Since you are not happy, why do you come out?" forced a smile like this, and my sister was worried when she looked at it. ”

Tao Mi'er smiled even sweeter, Chun Jieyu wants to be a bosom sister, and she has to see if she agrees, okay? "Zifei knows the joy of fish."

Chun Jieyu also smiled: "I just hope that my sister doesn't hold everything in her heart." ”

Tao Xiaoyuan's personality has always been soft, no matter what others say, she doesn't react, she just keeps looking at each other with a smile.

It's as if she doesn't have the word "angry" in her dictionary.

Today will be refuted by Tao Xiaoyuan, Chun Jieyu is not surprised.

"However, the emperor is busy with political affairs, and the flood disaster in Daxing needs to be dealt with urgently, so it's no wonder that you can't remember your grievances." Chun Jieyu put a handkerchief on the stone chair and sat down elegantly. "It doesn't matter after all."

Who doesn't want to be on the cusp of the emperor's heart? If the palace concubine next to her heard this, she might not know what her heart would become.

For example, if Xie Meiren heard this, she might have quarreled with Chun Jieyu at this time.

But Tao Mier's brain circuit is different from that of ordinary people. I saw that she thought seriously for a while, and nodded thoughtfully: "The emperor is Mingjun, how can he pay attention to the harem at this time?" ”

"Some people, if they are not favored, they make excuses for themselves, and they are not ashamed!" Xie Meiren, who suddenly walked over, had her nostrils facing the sky, and she didn't know how she saw the road.

"Sister Xie, the emperor is just too busy......" Chun Jieyu is used to meeting people and talking about people, and talking nonsense when she sees ghosts. When facing the Queen Mother, she is filial and sensible; When facing the emperor, she is indisputable; When facing the palace concubine and the palace maid......

Hehe.

It seems that she is helping Tao Mi'er speak, but in fact, her words can only make people's hearts more blocked, but she can't say her fault. To others, there will be a kind of "Oh! In fact, Tao Xiaoyuan is really not favored! At the same time, it will also make people have a good impression of her.

invisibly stepping on others to praise herself, Chun Jieyu uses it perfectly.

"Hmph, the Queen Mother, Concubine Ning and the precious concubines are not busy! Why don't you see them deal with it. Xie Meiren sneered, "It's nothing more than that the emperor didn't care about this matter." ”

The middle palace is vacant, the queen mother is in charge of the harem, and Concubine Ning and precious concubines are in charge of the harem. Like the current situation of Tao Mier, it is indeed not optimistic. It's no wonder that all the palace concubines rushed to laugh at her.

Peach Mill shook the mahogany handle light Luo fan, and the thrush on it seemed to fly out, which was very beautiful. Xie Meiren's stature is not high, even if Tao Mi'er is sitting and she is standing, she is not much taller than Tao Mi'er. Tao Mi'er raised her chin slightly, and her momentum was not weak: "I'm still fine, how can I deal with it with great fanfare?" I'm not a girl from a small family, and I still have to have the open-mindedness I should have. Xie Meiren, do you say yes? ”

Xie Meiren, who has always been like a cannonball, really exploded with a little fire: "Next thing, you little daughter of the Ministry of Rites actually dares to insidious that the daughter of the Dingguo Mansion is from a small family!" ”

I don't know where Xie Meiren learned the unpleasant words, always open and close her mouth to the fox, the next thing, and the cheap maid. There is no palace concubine in the harem who has not been said so by her. Whoever gets the emperor's favor, she will always scold. Tao Mi'er has been a saint recently, and she has been used by Xie Meiren to talk about things behind her back.

Now Xie Meiren said in front of her that Tao Mier is still the first one.

Peach Millet is not annoyed. This kind of talk is nothing more than an itch in the boots for the new new women of the 21st century. But the one who should fight back still has to fight back, otherwise one day even the palace maid will bully her, and there will be no place to cry.

"Who's going to do the next thing?" Peach Mill asked rhetorically.

Xie Meiren is angry, where would she think so much: "Say something about you!" ”

The effect was achieved, and Tao Mi'er didn't pay attention to Xie Meiren anymore, but just raised the light Luo fan to cover her lips that couldn't hide her smile.

Chun Jieyu, who was originally calm and ready to watch Tao Mi'er's show, listened to Xie Meiren's words, and couldn't hold back for a while, and laughed out loud. Chun Jieyu herself doesn't like Xie Meiren's mad dog-like personality, and she is of course happy to see Xie Meiren make a fool of herself.

If it weren't for Xie Meiren's stupidity, she could be a gunman at will, which woman could tolerate her until now.

The triumphant Xie Meiren also reacted when she heard Chun Jieyu's laughter, and she was so angry that the roots of her neck turned red. She stepped forward in two steps, her hand raised high, and she was about to fall on Taomier's face.

Tao Mi'er's heart tightened, and she subconsciously leaned back, but because she was sitting on a stone bench, even if she leaned back, she couldn't hide anywhere, and she was determined to slap her.

At the last moment, Bi Qing suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Xie Meiren's hand. Biqing's strength is much greater than that of Xie Meiren, who does not touch the spring water with ten fingers, and Xie Meiren struggled several times and couldn't continue to swing.

Xie Meiren's eyes were red, and she raised her left hand and "snapped": "!" ”

The strength was so great that he actually flew the Biqing fan to the ground.

Tao Mi'er glanced at Bi Qing who was lying on the ground, didn't raise her head, and said in a deep voice: "Xie Meiren kneel!" ”

Xie Meiren's majestic chest rose and fell violently, and she trembled and pointed at Tao Mi'er: "You are not qualified to let me kneel!" ”

"Sister Chun commented, is Xiaoyuan of the fifth grade qualified to let the beauty of the sixth grade kneel?" Tao Mi'er has a side face, and the smile on her face is sweet.

"Naturally, there is." Chun Jieyu originally came to see the play, and she didn't care whose play she watched.

"Get on your knees!" Mommy repeated sharply.

Xie Meiren turned his head to look at the guards who were about to move, and then he knelt down reluctantly.

Tao Mi'er touched Biqing's face in distress, this slap was originally going to fall on her face. If she doesn't stand up for Biqing, she will chill the palace maids and eunuchs who follow her.

"Sister Chun, the concubine is retiring." Biqing's face needs to be dealt with, and Mommy doesn't have time to play with a group of boring women here.

When passing by Xie Meiren, Tao Mi'er said sweetly: "Xie Meiren, kneel first, Sister Chun has spoken, you get up again." ”

Her attitude has already made it clear, as for when Chun Jieyu will call Xie Meiren up, it's none of her business, isn't it?
