The New Year is approaching, the winter sun is just right, at this time the woman sitting in front of the mirror, looking at the flower face in the mirror, the mood is like the sun outside, looking bright, but there is no temperature.

As the owner of the Kunning Hall in the inner garden of the palace, women in the world don't want to climb to this position, but what if they become queens? Humanity is "as deep as the sea when you enter the palace gate" as a country, it seems to be beautiful on the outside, but who knows the bitterness on the inside.

She laughed to herself, snapped, and casually brushed the mirror to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, it fell to pieces.

"The saint is angry," the palace maids were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and trembled.

"Where did the official family rest last night?" The woman looked at the maid standing to the side.

"Saint, the official family stayed at Shangmeiren's place last night." The palace maid replied honestly.

"It's Shang Mei again, how many times has it been this month?" Empress Guo's face changed a few times, and she said indignantly.

"Sage Mo Qi, no matter how you are still in this country, how can they cross you?" A middle-aged woman walked in outside the palace gate and comforted her, she was the queen's personal nurse.

"Today is the right day, the saint might as well go to the garden for a walk, and there is no need to be bored in this temple all day long." The nurse continued to persuade.

"Well, you can go shopping with me." Empress Guo waved his sleeves, and all the palace people on the ground, Fang Zhan trembled and got up and stood aside.

At this time, what a beautiful scenery Ren was, Guo Hou had no intention of appreciating it, not to mention that it was the cold winter season in front of him.

She remembered that when she first saw the official family, it was a delicate young man, and he always smiled at her very gently, if it wasn't for the queen mother who called her the queen later, if the young man hadn't grown up, maybe everything would not be the way it is now.

She sighed slightly, staring blankly at the bald branch in front of her, and all the palace maids behind her did not dare to come out.

"Sister, come and sit here." A coquettish smile came, and two beauties in the distance walked over with a group of palace maids swaying.

The two beauties walked up to them, and seemed to see the queen sitting in the pavilion, and one of them, a plump and delicate woman with a hint of mockery slipped under her eyes, and said with a smile, "It turned out to be a saint, and the concubine Shang asked her sister to say goodbye." Another petite woman followed.

"It's Shang Mei and Yang Meiren" Guo Hou looked at these two beauties coldly, and her heart was extremely disgusted, this is the woman who has been pestering the official family. She paused for a moment before slowly speaking, "Excuse me." ”

A trace of embarrassment flashed across the plump Shang Meiren's face, she raised her body and said with a forced smile, "Sister Sage, my sister is about to go to Concubine Yang to ask for peace, can my sister go with me?" ”

Empress Guo didn't answer her words, but said, "I heard that your father and brother have now won the blue eyes of the official family, and they have been given official titles, and their grace has moved the capital." ”

"Sister, this is all a gift from the official family, my father and brother are afraid, and I just want to do my job conscientiously to report to the official family." Shang Meiren pretended to be cautious and said.

"Official appreciation? Are you showing off in front of me? Guo Hou sneered.

"My sister doesn't dare, my sister is afraid!" Na Na Mei hurriedly whispered a defense.

"And let your father and brother be more restrained, and when you are proud, you must think about the frustration, and don't be too public." Guo Hou continued.

"My sister obeys my sister's teachings." Shang Mei is respectful on the surface, but secretly hates in his heart.

The nurse beside Empress Guo whispered a few words in her ear at this time, and Empress Guo turned to smile and said, "Shang Meiren, don't be in a hurry to go to Concubine Yang to say hello now, let's deal with the affairs of the palace maids in your palace first." ”

Shang Meiren raised her head, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd of Guo Hou, "Why did my sister say this?" ”

"Bring it with you." After seeing Guohou's nod, the nurse hurriedly screamed.

A few chamberlains walked up with a woman, approached her, pushed the woman to the ground, and bowed her hand to ask for An, "Sage Jin'an", "Please Shang Meiren, Yang Meiren An".

When Shang Meiren saw the woman who was pushed, she asked, "This is my maid in the palace, why are you doing this?" ”

"Back to Shang Meiren, this maid has an adulterous affair with the slave in the palace, and she was caught by us, and I still ask the saint to show me how to deal with it." A rather clever chamberlain stepped forward and replied.

"Sister, this is the maid in your palace, what do you think should be done?" Guo Hou squinted at Shang Meiren.

Shang Meiren looked at the maid in her palace, this slave and maid were usually clever, but at this time she stared blankly at the ground, without saying a word, she walked up to the maid and asked, "Caihe, is this true?" Don't be afraid, just tell the truth. ”

When the maid heard Shang Meiren's question, Fang woke up to her master, hurriedly rushed forward, and choked up, "Master, slave." Ask your master for mercy. ”

When Shang Meiren heard this, she frowned, "Is it true?" You're so confused! Then he turned to Guo Hou and said, "Sister, this slave has followed her sister for many years, and she is usually the most honest, but I am afraid that there is a hidden secret, she refuses to say it, so it is better to leave the palace, right?" ”

Empress Guo asked the nurse next to her, "Huan Huan, what are the rules in the palace?" ”

"Back to the saints, the rules in the palace are to play fifty boards each, and then send them elsewhere," the nurse hurriedly stepped forward and replied.

"Sister, this slave is weak, how can she withstand fifty boards, please raise your noble hand." Shang Meiren knew that after Guo Dao, this was deliberately dismounted for himself. But if you don't intercede for the maid, I'm afraid that it will chill the hearts of the people around you, and you will be disgraced.

"My sister is so kind!" Empress Guo said sarcastically, "But since the palace has set rules, I am equivalent to committing a foul with my body, so I don't want this rule in the future." ”

"Drag it off, let's follow the rules!" Guo Hou shook his head and said.

Only then did the woman realize that if she was beaten with fifty boards, it was estimated that this little life would be almost over, so she hurriedly crawled in front of Guo Hou and kept kowtowing, "The saint spares his life, the saint is gracious, the slave and maid dare not commit it again, spare the slave and the maid." ”

Empress Guo didn't answer, waved her sleeves, and the nurse was busy giving the waiters a look, and the few people pulled the woman away in a playful way.

The woman kept begging for mercy, and no one saw two people standing by the tree behind the pavilion, and a group of attendants far behind them.

The woman's eyes were sharp, and she saw it at a glance, she struggled with all her strength, and the few people were caught off guard by the woman to break free, and the woman stumbled to the two people by the tree, and knocked her head down, "The official family saves the slave and maid, and the official family spares his life." ”

Hearing this, the crowd turned their heads and found that the two people standing by the tree, the one in front was not Zhao Zhen of the current official family, and the other was silently Zhao Xian, the princess of Huayi who was quite loved by the official family.

Guo Hou and the others hurriedly went over to greet him, Guo Hou was happy to see the official family, but Shang Meiren looked like a relative, and shouted quite aggrievedly, "The official family, you save Caihe." ”

"Sage, I've been watching this for a long time, as the saying goes, 'God has the virtue of a good life', it's better to send this slave and maid elsewhere, and if you can avoid it, you can avoid it." Zhao Zhen said softly.

Shang Meiren heard that the official family was helping her speak, and her face showed joy. Guo Hou looked at the hidden fire of anger again.

"If everyone doesn't follow the rules, how can I manage in the future? Please don't interfere in the affairs of the harem," Guo Hou said with a straight face.

Zhao Xian looked at this scene coldly on the side, thinking that this Empress Guo really can't be a person, she doesn't give face to the official family in public, and her temperament is hard, no wonder the official family is not happy. Looking at the beauty again, mourning relatives, with a look of pity on my face, I couldn't help but think to myself that this harem woman was really scheming.

"In that case, let it be as the saint wills." After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he left boringly.

In the distance, the maid's cries and pleadings were muffled by something, and they could no longer be heard.

"Brother Zhen, if you sympathize with that maid, it is better to send someone to explain it secretly." Zhao Xian looked at Zhao Zhen's face.

"Let her make it herself. I just don't like this Guo family," Zhao Zhen said.

"Brother Zhen, did you do it on purpose just now? Let them hate each other," Zhao Xian chuckled.

"You little girl, I can't hide anything from you! These women like nothing more than glory and wealth, and all they think about is family favor, and how many of them are sincere? Zhao Zhen scoffed.

"Brother Zhen." Zhao Xian looked at him with sympathy on her face.

"It doesn't matter, if you want to sit on this person's throne, you have to lose something. They. If they are willing to enter the game, they will inevitably become a chess piece, and how they want to move depends on how they do it. ”

"Chess pieces! Life is like chess, why are we not a chess piece? Zhao Xian said to herself.

"This winter day is almost over," Zhao Zhen looked at the sky in the distance.
