On the night of the Flower Dynasty Festival, the second watch has been a long time. And the Kunning Palace, which should have been quiet, is very lively at the moment, and the lights are bright. There are the emperor's concubines and beauties sitting in the hall, and there are a number of chamberlains and palace maids outside the hall.

"Your sisters come here in the middle of the night, I don't know what you are doing?" The sage Guo Shi coughed lightly, his phoenix eyes were threatening, and he glanced at the few people under the seat.

Miao and the concubine on Tuesday were looked at by Guo, and they turned their heads slightly uncomfortably, and motioned to Shang Meiren to answer quickly with their eyes.

"Sage Mingjian, the concubines and others had no intention of disturbing my sister, but I heard the sound of footsteps coming towards my sister, and a few of our sisters cared too much about my sister, so we came to visit what happened." Shang Meiren got up and bowed her head and said coquettishly.

Guo Shi sneered, "In this way, I want to thank a few sisters for their concern?" ”

A few people in the seat hurriedly got up and said, "Don't dare", but their eyes swept away.

Outside the hall, there were a group of attendants, tied to a man and a woman, just waiting for Guo's summons.

Guo Shi snorted coldly, "I'm afraid the younger sisters want to see how I deal with this matter, right?" After that, his face turned ruthless, and he raised his voice, "Even if you have violated the palace rules, even if you are a person from my Kunning Palace, you will treat everyone equally, and there is no reason to cover it up." Spread my word, these two people dragged down and took a heavy responsibility of fifty, and sent them elsewhere to set an example! ”

Shang Meiren didn't expect this Guo Shi to be so cruel to the people around him, the disappointment on his face flashed, and he said stupidly, "Sister, don't you need to ask the reason?" ”

"Why ask? Even if you are caught, no amount of reason is useless. If you say such filthy things, I am afraid that you will pollute the ears of your sisters. Guo took the warm tea handed by the maidservant next to him and took a sip.

Shang Meiren smiled dryly, "My sister is so fair, she should set an example for my sister." ”

At this time, the emperor's imperial study Shouchang Pavilion was not extinguished as usual, and Zhao Zhen was still reading the chapter under the lamp, at this time, Yan Wenying, the personal attendant, walked in and whispered a few times in his ear, Zhao Zhen put down his pen and looked at Yan Wenying with an inquiring gaze, Yan Wenying nodded.

Zhao Zhen chuckled a few times and said, "We only sent someone to pass on a word, and she did it so quickly?" Presumably they have been staring at it for a long time, so let them make trouble, let's just watch from the sidelines. ”

Yan Wenying asked quietly, "Official, what should I do with the waiter?" It's just a fifty board? ”

Zhao Zhen shook his head and said, "Don't be in a hurry to do it, tell people to keep an eye on it first, and then you need to rely on him to get things done, let's take it slowly, if it's too fast, it's boring, then let him take the medicine first." ”

"Official, where are you going to sleep tonight? It's easy to make arrangements for small ones," Yan Wenying asked.

"Tonight? Naturally, I went to sleep at Shang Meiren's place, and if I didn't add firewood at this time, how could this fire burn well? Zhao Zhen folded the good papers, picked up the ginseng tea on the table, drank it all, and stood up.

In the Ning Fang Palace, Shang Meiren said hatefully, "This wicked woman is so ruthless. ”

"Sister, how can you be good now?" The petite Yang Meiren was worried.

Shang Meiren soothed, "Sister, it's okay, let's sisters find a way." ”

At this time, the palace people came, "Shang Meiren, the right person Yan Gonggong sent someone to report that the official family came to sleep in Ningfang Hall tonight, and asked Shang Meiren to arrange a pick-up." ”

When Shang Meiren heard this, her eyes turned slightly, and she smiled, "Sister, I have a clever plan." Then she whispered a few words in Yang Meiren's ear.

Yang Meiren nodded and said, "This is very good, since this is the case, I will go back and arrange it." He pushed Shang Meiren again, and said with a narrow smile, "My sister has to serve the official family with her heart today, and this scene still needs my sister to perform it well." ”

The night in early spring was still cold, and even though the stove was burning in the hall, the body of the saint Guo was still cold. On such a night, I should have snuggled up to my husband and talked to myself, and slept warmly until dawn. And what about her husband? I haven't seen each other for a month, so what if she's as noble as her? No matter how high the status is? She was not even as good as an ordinary woman.

After a sleepless night until dawn, the stove in the hall had been extinguished, she turned over, tried to stretch her hand out of the quilt, and shivered in the cold air.

She called out in a dumb voice, "Someone." Several palace people immediately came in outside the hall, some carried the stove and put it not far from the bed, some people brought the warm clothes to Guo Hou's side and prepared to serve her to put them on, and some people stood aside with water at a moderate temperature and waited for Guo Hou to wash.

"Sage." Guo Hou's nurse walked in, helped put her clothes on, and after finishing them, she said, "It turns out that the maidservant who first discovered the filth of these two people last night is called Cai Qin, saint, who are you saying this Cai Qin?" But it's the sister of the lotus. ”

Guo Hou looked sideways and asked, "Picking lotus?" Who is it?"

"Cai He was originally the palace maid next to Shang Meiren, the sage remembers, last year, because this woman and people "eat" was arrested, sage, you ordered someone to beat her fifty boards and then sent to other places. The nurse reminded.

"Oh? It's her? So her sister found out that she was instructed to do so? Deliberately? Guo Hou asked casually.

"I'm afraid that's it! And the team of night guards was also instructed by someone to arrive immediately after Cai Qin screamed, and the two hours were so coincidental that if it wasn't collusion, no one could believe it. The nurse slowly informed Empress Guo of the news she sent last night.

"It turns out that it's Shang Meiren again, this slut! Didn't she punish her palace maid last time, she was not convinced, and she wanted to take revenge by doing these things in private? Empress Guo threw the wet wipes in his hand into the basin, and the splash wet the palace maid who carried the basin, and the palace maid was so frightened that she immediately knelt down, bowed her head and trembled.

"The saint is angry! Last night, the saint dealt with it like this, but it disappointed them, the saint must not be angry, he was angry with the phoenix body, but let those people succeed. The nurse hurriedly comforted.

"This slut, last night deliberately shouted that so many people came here to see the joke, I want to see how she can laugh out loud today." Empress Guo thought that when Shang Meiren came here to ask for peace, she would want her to look good at that time, so that she could know that her authority as a queen could not be challenged.

The hibiscus tent is warm and the spring night is short, outside the Ningfang Palace, the spring is cold, but the palace is warm. Thinking that the official family was warm and warm last night, and the love words were continuous, Shang Meiren's face couldn't help but turn red and red. When the official family came to the court, he told the palace maid not to wake her up, and sent someone to the saint to spread the word that he would be exempted from asking for peace today, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed, thinking that the saint could not see half of the official family for a month, but he often accepted the favor, and she was quite proud in her heart.

Chaumet slept well. Lazily got up to wash, had breakfast, and was thinking about where to go shopping, Yang Meiren walked in, looked her spring face up and down with a smile, and said, "Were you tired last night?" ”

Shang Meiren covered her face shyly, "Sister, don't make fun of me, didn't the official family go to my sister's place the night before?" Has my sister ever made fun of my sister? ”

Yang Meiren pulled away Shang Meiren's hand and said with a smile, "How ashamed is my sister?" The favor of the official family is the blessing of the sister, and now in this palace, isn't it the sister who is the most favored? Half of the official family in January is at my sister's place, and my sister has also received such care because of her friendship with her sister, and my sister is not grateful, so how can she make fun of my sister? ”

Shang Meiren took Yang Meiren's hand and said with a smile, "Sister, don't be polite, can you go and ask for peace today?" What is the face of the saint? ”

Yang Mei said, "The saint's face is naturally not good, I'm afraid that he hasn't slept all night." ”

Shang Meiren sneered, "If you can't get the favor of the official family, you naturally have a bad complexion, and now I'm afraid that it will be useless to put on this lot of powder, and in a few years, old age and decay, it will not be welcomed, what if you are a saint?" I'm afraid that the position of this saint will not be guaranteed. ”

"Which old age and decrepit person, which saint's position is difficult to keep?" Suddenly, there was an angry shout outside.
