Shu E was about to turn around, but saw that there was a towering attic to the west of the four halls of Chunxi, Yaoyang, Qiuqi, and Yixue.

It's just that this attic looks like it's some distance from the fourth hall, as if it's in the westernmost part of the back garden.

Shu E's heart moved slightly, and asked, "Is that Taiqing Building?" ”

Hua Fu nodded and said, "After Concubine Rong returned to the palace, she lived in Taiqing Building with Xu Songjie. ”

Remembering that Concubine Rong Li had just returned to the palace and couldn't get along with herself everywhere, as if she had some hatred, she was very unhappy in her heart, nodded, and pulled Hua Fu back.

He hadn't gone far, but suddenly he heard the voices of several women in the distance behind the shade of the trees in the north, as if they were arguing about something.

Shu E and Hua Fu stopped in unison, only to hear a woman's voice say, "What are you, dare to quibble with me!" Do you dare to live impatiently? The tone was full of pride and arrogance, as if he didn't take people seriously, "Let me ask you again, what did you do at the Sunshine Pavilion just now!" ”

Another woman said: "What I am saying is the truth, and there is no need to quibble if I don't want to quibble." If you love to believe, you can believe it, and if you don't want to believe it, forget it. Since you ask again, I'll tell you again. I live in the Yaoyang Pavilion, which is the residence pointed out to me by the emperor and the queen mother, and it is normal for me to go to the Yaoyang Pavilion! The voice was full of stubborn smiles, and it was very crisp, and the tone was undeniable.

Shu E glanced at Hua Fu, nodded and said, "It's really the voice of the wooden imperial attendant." But I don't know who she is talking to...... The voice of the woman who spoke later was Mu Xiaoxia who lived in the White Peony Garden of the Yaoyang Pavilion, but Shu E didn't distinguish the voice of the woman who spoke first for a while. However, another sentence came from her ears, which made Shu'e immediately understand her identity.

The woman who started to speak sneered and said, "Listen to your mouth, it's so powerful!" I will climb up with the help of a pole. If you stay in the White Peony Garden of the Yaoyang Pavilion in peace, it will be enough to be your imperial attendant, but every time the emperor goes to the back garden to see the womb of the Qin beauty, you will always appear in the main hall of the Yaoyang Pavilion. You are not the only one who wants to see the emperor in the back garden, and the emperor is going to see the womb of the beautiful qin, what do you have to do with it? You're talking and laughing right next to you. There is no occasion to seduce the emperor! ”

Shu E only felt that her face was flushed, Concubine Rong was in the position of a concubine, and it was just a matter of being proud and arrogant, but how could she speak so rudely. What is climbing up with a pole, and what is it to seduce the emperor, such vulgar words, where is there still half a concubine's virtue? And the undisguised and unabashed jealousy in her words is a taboo for the concubines in the palace.

Mu Xiaoxia's voice did not have the innocent smile that she usually had when she spoke, and her voice sank a lot: "The emperor went to the main hall of the Yaoyang Pavilion to visit Sister Qin, how can I hide in the White Peony Garden in the side hall and not come out?" Sister Qin often asked me to sit in her room, which shows that the main hall of the Sunshine Pavilion is not a place where I can't go. The master's family doesn't dislike it, but Concubine Rong doesn't know why to find fault with me? Besides, just now in Sister Qin's house, in addition to asking the emperor to greet him, I said a few common words to the emperor, but I kept talking to Sister Qin. But I don't know which sentence is considered to have tempted the emperor, and which sentence offended you, Concubine Rong? ”

After not hearing any movement for a long time, Shu E was very worried that Mu Xiaoxia would suffer, and knew that although she was very clever in her mouth and acted without any fault, since Concubine Rong was intent on finding fault with her, Mu Xiaoxia couldn't avoid it.

Concubine Rong suddenly laughed and said, "Which sentence offended me?" You have said so much today, but what one of you is not offending me? Then he shouted: "The bold Mu clan, it's just a small royal servant, and he hasn't even earned a talent, but he is just a maid, why are you unruly in front of me." Loosen the knot, slap her in the mouth for me! ”

Shu E was shocked and angry when she heard this, and as soon as she stretched out her sleeves, she walked towards the back of the forest. The person who instructed Xu Songjie to beat people, besides Concubine Rong, who else would there be? One day, Concubine Rong openly slandered Shu E in front of everyone for staying in Yong'an Hall on the eve of the fifteenth day, openly accusing Shu E of violating the palace rules, and secretly insulting Shu E for being disorderly.

Even Shun Jieyu's family opened her mouth to help Shu'e, but Concubine Rong was mercilessly pushed back. Concubine Rong's Li family is second only to the queen, and even the queen's words Concubine Rong did not shy away from refuting, so no one else dared to persuade her. However, Mu Xiaoxia, the imperial servant who stood at the end of the concubine, laughed openly at Concubine Rong's arrogant and domineering words, and said two sentences without being humble or arrogant. Although she couldn't help Shu E, Shu E admired and thanked the wooden maid from the bottom of her heart.

Hua Fu hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed Shu E, made a silent gesture, and while pulling Shu E to walk gently to the north, he made another gesture, signaling Shu E to listen to what the people behind the forest said.

Xu Songjie's voice was a little timid, just like when he first saw him in Kunning Palace, he was a woman with a weak and unassuming personality. I only heard Xu Songjie say: "Slave maid ......"

Xu Songjie only said two words, and was interrupted by Concubine Rong. I only heard Concubine Rong say coldly: "You are the Hongxia Veil of the Eighth Grade, what kind of slave is not a slave." If I ask you to teach her, you can do it, do you want me to teach you? Xu Songjie didn't dare to say anything more, but he didn't hear her start beating people.

I heard Mu Xiaoxia say loudly: "May I ask Concubine Rong, what did you rely on for letting people beat me?" ”

"Just because I'm Concubine Rong, and you're just a little royal attendant." Concubine Rong said it very reasonably, but it is also a truth that people can't refute.

"You are Concubine Rong, if you beat me, I naturally have nothing to say. for indeed thou art higher than I. But-" There was no fear in Mu Xiaoxia's voice, and every sentence was very frank: "I am the imperial servant of the seventh grade, and the Xu family is just the red xia of the eighth grade." Although my position is low, I am the emperor's concubine, and the Xu family is just a palace person with qualifications to serve in bed, so why did she beat me? ”

When Shu E heard this, she couldn't help but applaud Mu Xiaoxia's bravery. I couldn't help but praise it in my heart, I only thought that Mu Xiaoxia was lively and cute, with little scheming, she was a bright and generous woman, and I didn't want to be such a girl with integrity and courage.

Concubine Rong seemed to have been persuaded by Mu Xiaoxia's reasoning, only listening to her sneer twice, but not hearing what Concubine Rong said.

Shu'e and Hua Fu walked closer, listening intently, when they suddenly heard a crisp "pop" behind a few rows of trees.
