Concubine Rong just snorted lightly when she heard this, and said, "Shu Meiren is too humble. He no longer paid attention to Shu E, but said to the queen: "The queen actually doesn't need to rush to Taiqing Tower at the moment. At this moment, the people in the four halls are all gathered in the Chunxi Pavilion. ”

Shu E said secretly in her heart: Sure enough, this is the case.

The queen asked Concubine Rong, "Chunxi Pavilion? What are you doing there? Aren't we going to Taiqing Building? There was only some surprise in the queen's tone, and nothing else, which made people feel that it was purely unnatural.

The corners of Concubine Rong's mouth twitched slightly, and she said with a little contempt: "If those two maids of Xiaocai know about the note, can they not tell the concubine when they are in Taiqing Building?" They told the concubines that there was no reason for the concubines not to return to the emperor and the queen. ”

The queen was still puzzled: "According to you, Qinglian and Yushu, the two attendants, don't know about the Dao, but will anyone else in the four halls know about it?" ”

There was no hint of falsification in the queen's tone, and Shu E couldn't help but believe it when she heard it, the queen really didn't understand what Concubine Rong meant. But Shu E immediately thought of the look of the queen of Fang Cai, and understood in her heart that the queen naturally knew the way, and she asked these words, just to know what the queen wanted to say.

In fact, knowing the origin of the note is very simple.

Just find out whose handwriting is the same as the handwriting on the note.

But the queen specially asked Shu E, and gave Shu E a look to prevent Shu E from answering, so the only possibility is that the queen wants to know what to do, but Concubine Rong wants to do it.

"Xiaocai people live in the back garden, and in addition to going to the emperor, the queen mother, the imperial concubine, and the queen to say goodbye, most of them are also active in the back garden." Concubine Rong said: "The people who often interact with Xiaocai are just these people in the back garden. Moreover, since there is no signature on the note, it proves that this person is also very familiar with Xiaocai, if it is not through the maid to pass the note, there is no need to write the name, that is, Xiaocai people know this person's handwriting, and there is no need to sign it at all. ”

Concubine Rong said very clearly, "Then as long as you take a look at the handwriting of everyone in the fourth hall of the back garden, and then pair it with this note, you can know who is the one who made an appointment with Xiaocai." ”

The queen stopped and nodded: "Sure enough, it's a good way, it's rare that Jingping has thought so well in a short period of time." He said to Shu E again: "Fortunately, the people in the four halls, except for the Qin Meiren, have already gathered in the Chunxi Pavilion. Let's go to the Chunxi Pavilion first. ”

The queen's words "short time" and "lucky" seem to be extra heavy.

Shu E's heart froze slightly, and the queen had already turned around and walked towards the Chunxi Pavilion.

The queen had just taken two steps, but suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Concubine Rong who was walking with her: "You are out at the moment, who is taking care of Xiaocai in the Taiqing Building?" ”

Concubine Rong didn't seem to expect the queen to ask like this, she was slightly stunned, and said, "It's Songjie who is taking care of it." ”

"Is it the Hongxia Xu?" The queen asked.

Concubine Rong had a slight dissatisfaction in her eyes, thinking that she was still complaining because the queen did not make the Xu family a concubine, so she had to say, "Yes." ”

"The Xu family has never been seen by the emperor, so she is not a concubine, and she is not a female historian of the harem." The queen's eyebrows frowned slightly, as if she was facing a difficult matter, thought for a moment, and said to Concubine Rong: "The Xu family cooks there alone, whether it is unorthodox or not. If the emperor asks, it is like Jingping you are unwilling to pay attention to Xiaocairen, not only does you lose your busy mind, but even the Xu family has it. ”

When Concubine Rong heard this, the expression on her face also changed a little, but she still looked a little disapproving.

The queen didn't see Concubine Rong's expression, and said: "You see that the emperor promoted Xiao Xia from the seventh-rank imperial attendant to the fifth-grade talent, and specially added the title, it can be seen that the emperor not only treats Xiaocai very much, but also saddens her tragic death." Jingping you brought Xiaocai back to Taiqing Building to take care of the afterlife, firstly, it was also to take care of the beauty of the qin, and secondly, it was also a good intention, it was a very knowledgeable and sensible move, but in the end, for the reason of refusing to pay attention, and then making the emperor unhappy, wouldn't it be too wronged by your kindness? ”

Concubine Rong seemed to have nothing to say, and only after a while did she ask: "The concubine is indeed a good heart, but the situation is urgent, I never thought of this, but I don't know what the queen can do?" After a pause, he hurriedly said: "The concubine just wants to be able to go to the Chunxi Pavilion together, so as to share the queen's worries, in the end, in this backyard, now the concubine is the leader, and now that such a thing has happened, the concubine can't just think about avoiding responsibility, so she ignores it." ”

The queen nodded slightly and said, "You have such a good heart, how can I not know?" What I mean is also to ask you to go to Chunxi Pavilion with me, first, you found this note first, go with me, so as to be a witness, and second, you and I are wise, I have something I can't think of, Jingping, you can also help me take care of it. It's just ......" said that his eyes turned to Shu E, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said: "Yes, there is Shu Meiren here, Jingping, what are you worried about?" ”

Without waiting for Concubine Rong's gaze to withdraw from Shu E's face, the queen said again: "Then bother Shu E, you go to Taiqing Building, and help Concubine Rong take care of the aftermath of Xiao Cairen, the emperor has always praised you for being stable and reliable, and you are a beauty, if you go to help Jingping, the emperor will definitely praise Jingping for thinking well." ”

Concubine Rong was just about to speak, but the queen said to Zhan Xi again: "Shu Meiren is young and has never experienced such a big event, you accompany Shu Meiren, what is there to discuss with her." ”

Zhan Xi hurriedly bowed down and agreed.

Concubine Rong hurriedly said: "Absolutely not." ”

The queen said curiously: "What? ”

Concubine Rong also seemed to feel that her tone was too impatient and stiff, and hurriedly said, "Then how to make it?" It's something I stopped, how can I bother Shu Meiren? Although he didn't say "no" directly this time, the rejection in his tone was still very obvious.

"It's not really that Shu Meiren wants to do anything, there are people in the palace, and there are routine rules both horizontally and vertically, but it is just to let Shu Meiren sit down, and it is also the emperor's intention to value Xiaocai." The queen said unhurriedly: "The people in the back garden are still waiting in the Chunxi Pavilion." ”

Concubine Rong Shu'e looked at it and said, "There is such a beauty in Laoshu." ”

Here, Zhanxi led Shu E to Taiqing Building. Taiqing building in the northwest corner of the back garden, occupies a very spacious area, is the pattern of two halls and two courtyards on the first floor, Rong Concubine Li lives in the main building Taiqing floor, Xu Songjie temporarily lives in the east side hall, and Xiaocai people are temporarily placed in the west side hall.

Shu E and Zhan Xi had just walked into the courtyard of Taiqing Building when they heard mournful cries coming from inside. It smells sour.
