Chapter 52 Empress Dowager Dou suddenly threw an olive branch

As soon as she got out of Ci'an Palace and bypassed the maple forest next to her called "Maple Forest Dye", Jiang Suoyue heard someone behind her calling herself. turned his head and found that it was Mama Wei beside the Queen Mother.

When Mama Wei saw Jiang Suoyue stop, she walked a few steps quickly, stepped forward to salute, and said, "Jiang Liangyuan, the Queen Mother has something to ask the slave to convey on her behalf." ”

"Dare to ask Mama, what does the Queen Mother command?"

Mama Wei said with a smile: "The Queen Mother saw Liangyuan in the palace today, and she felt that she fell in love, and I hope that Liangyuan will come to Ci'an Palace more often in the future." ”

Jiang Suoyue looked flattered, and agreed obediently: "It is the duty of the concubines to serve the Queen Mother, as long as the Queen Mother does not dislike the concubines, the concubines will definitely come to the Queen Mother to say goodbye." ”

"Liangyuan is filial, and the slave will definitely convey it."

"There's Mama Lao."

Mama Wei's words were brought, so she returned to Ci'an Palace, leaving Jiang Suoyue alone to ponder.

Queen Mother, Jiang Suoyue rubbed the texture of her cuffs and thought to herself, how could the Queen Mother suddenly send someone to say such things to her, what to say about falling in love, who would believe it, just now she and the Queen Mother didn't even talk.

Why did the Queen Mother notice her? What is the intention of letting her come to Ci'an Palace more? Is it to win her over to join the concubine's faction? However, with only one meeting, isn't it too hasty to rush to win over people for Concubine Shu? And why did you choose her? Is there anyone else besides her? That's it, even if the Queen Mother has any intentions, it's not something that she, a little palace concubine, can compete with, so let's take one step at a time.

Now she has really limited knowledge, and she can't judge the situation, let alone grasp it. And if you want to weave your own information network and cultivate your own power, you must first gain the favor of that person. Jiang Suoyue looked in the direction of Qianzheng Palace and secretly clenched her fists.

~~~~~~~~ dividing line ~~~~~~~~~~

Qianzheng Palace Longquan Palace.

At this moment, Shen Nuosheng, who was being worried about Jiang Suoyue, was in a very bad mood, and he was watching the report that the south had reduced its harvest due to the flood. There is no good news on these folds, either asking the imperial court to allocate funds for disaster relief, or the local government is asking for tax reduction and exemption due to poor harvests, so angry that Shen Nuosheng picked up the teacup at hand and threw it on the ground in anger. With so much money allocated in the treasury to build a levee, who is it that goes into their pockets!

In fact, he naturally knows who it is, but the time has not come, so he has to endure it and slowly figure it out. It is precisely in this way that he is even more aggrieved, he is the Son of Heaven, above ten thousand people, but there are more people who are helpless and helpless.

Shen Nuosheng rubbed his forehead, everyone in the people said that it was good to be an emperor, but how could they know the difficulties of being an emperor. There was a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, and he returned to his former perseverance and coldness, even if the road ahead was difficult and dangerous, what he Shen Nuosheng chose, no one could stop it! What he Shen Nuosheng wants to do, no one can resist!

Gao Jingzhong, the former head of the imperial superintendent, seemed to turn a deaf ear to the emperor's anger, and only quietly re-applied a cloud of the emperor's favorite Lushan Mountain, and stood aside in an orderly manner.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the little inner supervisor who was in charge of holding the jade plaque standing at the door, and he was probing his head and didn't know whether to come in, so he hurriedly gave him a look. This one who has no eyesight, didn't he lose his temper when he saw the emperor, how can he care about which concubine he pampered tonight at this time, isn't he looking for scolding when he comes in.

The little inner prisoner was also clever, and when he saw Gao Jingzhong's eyes, he immediately held the jade plate quietly and retreated. secretly said in his heart, it seems that the concubines of the harem will be alone in the empty room again tonight.

~~~~~~~~ dividing line ~~~~~~~~~~

When Jiang Suoyue returned to Cuiweiju, she changed her coat from the pearls, removed the hairpin ring, and changed into homely clothes. Leaning on the big pillow on the warm room, she felt relaxed.

The first time she met everyone in the harem, it was impossible to say that she was a little nervous in her heart, the string in her head was tight, not to mention that she not only met the two most noble women in the harem in the morning, but also met the concubine who hid a knife in her smile, where would she not be tired? !

After lunch, Jiang Suoyue lay down and took a nap. Because she got up early today and was very tired, she slept for more than an hour in the afternoon before waking up, called pearls and glass to serve her to freshen up and dress, and asked about the situation of this cuiweiju when she was not there in the morning.

Liuli replied: "Don't worry, the little master, the slave and maid have checked several times before and after, and there is nothing violated." The palace people looked honest at the moment, and there was nothing suspicious. ”

Jiang Suoyue nodded: "Don't relax, you still have to keep an eye on those people." If you really want something, it won't be shown so early, naturally you have to wait for the situation to settle down, and we can only do it when we are relaxed, so we won't be able to see anything for a while, and we have to work weekdays. ”

Ruri nodded yes.

Jiang Suoyue asked Pearl again: "Last time I asked you to play jewelry, there was an aromatherapy ball in it, where did you put it?" ”

Because the little master didn't say he wanted to use it, he put it in the box. The slave and maid will go and get it. ”

"Go ahead. And bring the box that my father gave me. ”

Pearl said yes and went out with Ruri.

The pearl is a pure silver carved aromatherapy ball, divided into two layers, the inner layer is hollowed, which can hold spices, and the difference between other aromatherapy balls is that it also has a silver shell on the outside, and the lavender pattern is carved on it.

If you look at it alone, it doesn't look like an aromatherapy ball, but like a decorative silver ball carved with patterns, and only when the mechanism is flicked and the silver shell stretches out like petals, the fragrance will come out of it.

Jiang Suoyue took the aromatherapy ball and picked out some lavender balm from the tin box and put it in.

Pearl wondered, "Little Lord, is this a spice?" The taste is really special. ”

"Don't underestimate it, the smell of this thing can calm the mind and be very effective."

After that, Jiang Suoyue put down the pick and closed the mechanism of the aromatherapy ball, and the fragrance was isolated, and it looked like an ordinary carved silver ball on the outside.

"Since it's such a good thing, why doesn't Miss let the fragrance out?" Pearl said curiously.

"Good things are naturally used in key places." Jiang Suoyue smiled, "Okay, you go and put it up." ”

"Yes. What does Miss want to look like? ”

"Just the auspicious clouds and grass patterns, the color should be light purple with silver white."

Pearl is a good hand at playing the rope, I saw that her hands were like butterflies wearing flowers, and after a while, they were half-beaten. Jiang Suoyue was crooked on the couch and read the book "Ning's Medical Notes".

At dusk, Xiao Zhengzi came in and asked to see him, and after saluting, he said a little mysteriously: "Little master, I heard that the emperor did not summon anyone to sleep today, and he is about to rest in Longquan Palace." ”

Jiang Suoyue knew that inquiring about the emperor's whereabouts was also a common thing in this palace, and generally newcomers like herself had just entered the palace, and they were even more concerned about when they could be summoned by the emperor and who would be favored by the emperor first. Xiao Zhengzi's move is only afraid that he will also show his ability in front of the new master, and the meaning of asking for merit and reward, but it is just ......

"Xiao Zhengzi, this little master knows that you are loyal to the lord, but from now on, you are not allowed to inquire about the emperor's movements, do you know!"

Jiang Suoyue's tone was stern, and Xiao Zhengzi panicked. He inquired about the news to inform the little master, originally hoping to show his face in front of the little master, so that the little master felt that he was a usable talent, and in the future, the little master would be promoted, and he would be able to earn a position with a head and a face.

But he didn't want to anger the little master, so he knelt down and pleaded guilty, saying: "Little master, the slave makes his own opinion, and asks the little master to punish him." ”

Not to mention the emperor, normal people don't like to be inquired about their whereabouts and invade **, not to mention that the emperor is more suspicious and conceited than normal people. In this palace, where is there no emperor's person? There are people everywhere who are willing to serve the emperor, and this little action of the people around her can't hide the emperor's eyes at all, it will only make him unhappy.

Besides, what can you do if you know where the emperor has gone today? Since she can't change it, she doesn't have to know what is going on like those women and eat those flying vinegars.

It's just that this is not good to say to Xiao Zhengzi, Jiang Suoyue then said: "The emperor is our heaven, where is the emperor going, which concubine is favored, and where can we inquire!" I know that you are for my good, but don't do this kind of behavior again in the future, you also keep your eyes open for me, and no one else in this palace is allowed to do it again. ”

Xiao Zhengzi hurriedly responded.

Jiang Suoyue saw that he had been taught a lesson, and there was no disbelief on his face, and his heart was a material that could be made to obey discipline, so he ordered Pearl to take a purse and reward him.

Xiao Zhengzi received the reward, and when he walked to the wing, he met Amber who was about to go to the imperial dining room to pass on dinner, so he said with a bitter face: "What else do you say, I will do my best to inquire for the little master, and the little master will praise me, but I have been scolded by the little master." ”

Amber's eyes flashed and she asked, "How so?" You say it and I listen to it. ”

Xiao Zheng Zi then told him how he reported to Jiang Suoyue and how he was trained, and Amber apologized again and again after hearing it, and said, "Blame me for being thoughtless and tired of you." ”

Xiao Zhengzi was also open-minded, and replied indifferently: "It's okay, in the end, the little master rewarded me." Go and pass the meal, and don't let the little lord go hungry. ”

Amber hurriedly walked towards the imperial dining room again, walked a few steps, as if remembering something, and glanced back at the warm pavilion where Jiang Suoyue was, and sighed.

In the warm pavilion, Pearl had just hung the scented balls for Jiang Suoyue, and dinner had been delivered. Jiang Suoyue had dinner and rested after freshening up.

Nothing was said all night.
