Late at night, the inverted room in the northwest corner of the front yard of Yongshou Palace was very lively.

There was a big cotton jacket hanging on the window to shade the light, and there was an old table of eight immortals in the middle of the room, and the evergreen people were all naked, all of them were sweating profusely, staring at an old teacup on the table, and shouting in a jagged whisper: "Big, big, big!" ”

"Small, small, small!"

When the dealer's Zhao Quanbao unveiled the tea cup, six j□j, big!

Chang Qing smiled and took all the silver on the table, and after giving half to the dealer, the rest belonged to him. The other people at the table, such as the small path of the imperial dining room, and Xu Zhaoshan in the dining room of the elder brother all cut their voices in frustration.

Chang Qing got cheap and sold well: "Concession, concession." ”

Xiao Luzi smacked his lips: "Brother Chang is not kind." ”

Just as he was saying that the sound of 'the world is peaceful' came from outside, a room full of people suddenly covered their mouths and silenced, and Zhao Quanbao stretched out his hand to extinguish the wick in the oil lamp.

With a bang, the room suddenly went dark.

A few people held their breath and listened to the copper bell outside gradually disappearing, and Xiaoluzi took off the padded jacket hanging on the window in the dark, and the moonlight reflected in the house through the window screen.

"It's time to go." Xiao Luzi looked at the sky, he went back to the imperial dining room just in time to make breakfast.

Long live took the concubine away, and there are still three Mount Tai in the palace. Although the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and the Empress do not call the meals of the imperial dining room, the imperial dining room is opened according to the hour and nods.

Xu Zhaoshan should also leave, he was waiting for the bunch of brothers in the elder brother's office, and now it is time to make breakfast and send the elder brothers to the study room after eating.

Both of them took their leave, leaving only Zhao Quanbao and Chang Qing. The two quietly sent the two out, and when they came back, they packed up all the things in the house, and the dice were hidden, and the chickens of Toyokeiji outside had already begun to crow.

The two of them didn't sleep anymore, and the concubine drove out, but the second princess didn't go with them. At that point, they will have to go and wait.

Open the window, and the fresh air blows in with the coolness of the night, which makes people feel refreshed.

Chang Qing leaned against the window, and suddenly asked thoughtlessly: "Can it be done?" ”

Zhao Quanbao doesn't have much confidence in his heart, mainly because he is good with Xu Zhaoshan in the past, but after returning to the palace, the two have not seen each other for nearly 20 years, and it is difficult to say how much love is left back then. Just looking at Xu Zhaoshan's young age, he can hold the dining room of the elder brother from top to bottom in the palm of his hand - although he also took advantage of the concubine's entry into the palace to gain a firm foothold.

But in any case, Xu Zhaoshan has now been experienced.

It is not so much that he believes in Xu Zhaoshan, but that he believes in the current situation in the West Sixth Palace, and believes in the favor of the master.

He shook his head, but what he said was: "I have a number of Xu Zhaoshan, he is not stupid." ”

Chang Qing could see that he couldn't be sure. But he didn't debunk it at this point. Originally, this was a dark move, not so much to take Cao off in one go, but to find some trouble for Changchun Palace.

The head of the West Five Institute lives the big brother Honghui. At the beginning of the day, the sky and the earth were still dark, and the houses were already lively. Fan lived in a wing room on the northwest side, and when he heard the sound outside, he leaned back. The palace maid in the outhouse heard the movement and hurriedly came in with the lamp.

"Gege, let's sleep a little longer. Your body cannot be negligent now. She put the lamp on the table, put a dress on Fan, and then brought in the pillow on the couch outside and put it behind Fan's back.

Fan stroked his stomach with one hand, and said with a smile: "I'm fine, I know it in my heart." There were people outside, and the lights in the opposite room were on, so she could see it clearly from her side.

She said, "You go over there to help and see if there is anything you can do for the eldest brother." ”

The palace maid hesitated, but still listened to Fan's words and went out. She carefully closed the door and walked towards the Su family's house opposite. Before he arrived, he was stopped by the palace maid of the Du family, and asked his sister to pull her aside with a smile: "Sister, is there something wrong?" Who's coming to our house? I called my sister. The eldest brother is inside, and the elder sister goes in so as not to collide. ”

The palace maid knew that it was not good for her to listen to Fan's words, but the palace maid's words were too annoying, so she deliberately walked to the door: "Look at what you said, I also often see the eldest brother, how can I collide?" It's a big deal, I can't avoid it? ”

It's not impossible! Du's palace maid stepped forward to stop her: "Sister, don't be difficult for us, we Gege just said yesterday that we wanted to see Fan Gege." The two were pulling, Honghui came out of Du's house and saw Fan's palace maid, she was the big palace maid next to Fan's, waiting closely, Honghui recognized it at a glance and asked the eunuch to call her over.

Du's palace maid couldn't stop it anymore, and scolded in her stomach while blessing herself.

Fan's palace maid went over, Honghui asked if there was something wrong with Fan's, and the palace maid shook her head and said that she was about to go to Gege to bring food, and saw that the eldest brother here was coming out, so she was avoiding it.

Thinking of the child in Fan's belly, Honghui said: "I will go to see her in the afternoon and wait for you Gege." With that, he hurried away.

The people in the courtyard all stood up straight, and the palace maid of the Du family hated it so much in her heart that she forced her to ask the palace maid of the Fan family if there was anything else, if not, go and bring food to your master.

Seeing this, the palace maid didn't want to have another incident, so she turned around and really went to pick up food.

She came really early today, and she was still busy preparing her brother's meal in the dining room of the elder brother's office, so she didn't have time to pay attention to her for a while, so she asked her to stand on the side first, and then call her when the fire was ready.

There were people coming and going in the dining room, all of them carrying pots or bowls in their hands, and she was afraid of getting in the way, so she let those who didn't let them go outside. There were a few old piers around the corner, and she took out her handkerchief and put it on it, and sat down to rest.

I don't want the firewood room behind me, and a few strong eunuchs are chopping firewood and idle. The people in the dining room can't say what characters they are, they all vaguely say that this master is difficult to wait for and doesn't eat onions and garlic, that master eats a small amount of food, and when the food box is brought back, he only takes two or three mouthfuls, and the master doesn't eat the soup if he has it, and the master is salty and light.

The palace maid listened to the excitement, guessing which masters they were.

might as well suddenly lower his voice and say: "The one who is close, just that, the current meals are all neatly sent by half, who is this coaxing, at a glance, you can know that it is for others to eat." ”

The other persuaded him: "Accumulate some virtue, people can't help it." ”

The former one laughed and said: "These children can't play with their hearts, so that a meal is over, and I thought that no one could see it, and I didn't even recognize who had a ghost, and I was afraid that it would be another chicken and egg to hit Zuihou." ”

The palace maid's heart was lifted at once.

Since Fan Gege had a miscarriage and became pregnant with the current one, their master and servant secretly changed their meals to eat. Even the other palace maids in the house didn't know that she quietly ate Fan Gege's food, in order to prevent others from seeing that she was deliberately learning Gege, she would take a few more chopsticks if she liked to eat, and she wouldn't move if she didn't like to eat.

Maybe it's suspicious? She couldn't figure out for a while whether the two eunuchs were really talking about Gege or someone else. I couldn't give up until I went back with the lunch box.

When it was time to eat, she said that she would accompany Gege to use it together, and see that everyone else went out naturally, she suddenly thought that it was like this every day, and it really didn't make people see it?

I'm afraid I saw it a long time ago, right?

The master and servant sat opposite each other, she ate Gege's chicken and duck, and Gege ate her two bowls of cauldron dishes.

Fan was about to put down the chopsticks, and the palace maid was excited, and pressed Fan's hand to say what she overheard in the dining room.

The more the palace maid thought about it, the more she felt that their master and servant showed a lot of horses' feet, and she changed the meals every day, and she ate carefully every time, just like the eunuch said, the dishes were neatly so much less, and at first glance, they were not eaten by themselves. For example, if a person really likes to eat pork ribs, will she only eat three pieces every time?

Fan also understood when he heard it, even if the two eunuchs might not be talking about her, the matter of changing vegetables might not be safe.

Now she didn't even dare to eat the palace maid's food.

I simply put down the chopsticks and let them all be served. The palace maid put two meals into the suitcase, she didn't have a child in her belly, but she was not afraid of being harmed. It's just that Gege doesn't eat it now, and she can't eat it in front of Gege.

Hunger is nothing. She said, "Gege, would you like to bring you some snacks?" ”

Fan didn't dare to touch anything now, not even take a sip of water.

She was thinking of something else.

"Say, who are they talking about?" She asked, staring into the palace maid's eyes.

"This ...... The slave doesn't know this. "How dare the palace maids say the rights and wrongs of the masters? Every time Gege said it, she dared to nod or echo two sentences.

Fan said to himself: "According to what they said, it is a person I have never thought of before. ”

She thought in her heart that the people she guessed before were the Dai Jia family of Fujin, the Du family who lived in the opposite house, and the concubine of Yongshou Palace. These people may not like the child in her womb and want to hurt him.

The most unlikely person is the emperor, long live will not look at her, a child of the big brother and Xiao Gege.

Big brother, she gave birth to his son. Da Fujin is not a powerful wife on his side, and Big Brother will not harm her.

Changchun Palace. Like the eldest brother, Dai Jia's weight is limited, and the queen will not harm her in order to stand on Dai Jia's side.

She turned the three of them around in her heart seven or eight times, only to feel that none of them were possible.

Until the evening when the eldest brother came to see her, the two had dinner together. The eldest brother saw that she was eating too much, so he asked her to eat less and cherish her blessings, and asked her if she had changed her appetite and was not used to eating in the dining room?

Fan didn't even drink saliva for a day, and what he ate just now was just the bottom, and he could only put down his chopsticks when he heard the words.

"If you are used to eating, slaves and maids are not picky eaters when they are young." She said.

Honghui thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, I'll ask someone to bring you some food from the dining room of Changchun Palace." ”

The last child had a miscarriage for no reason, or it suddenly disappeared when he was not in the palace. It is impossible to say that he is not suspicious. The people waiting in the dining room of the current elder brother heard that they came out of the Yongshou Palace, and they had served the concubine before. It is normal for Fan to have scruples.

Even he didn't dare to guarantee that the Eternal Life Palace had nothing to do with this.

Fan was a little frightened, the eldest brother had never expressed his jealousy of Yongshou Palace to her, and he only dared to nod and agree for a while, and since then he has quietly eaten the food sent by Changchun Palace.

It's just that the food on Brother's side is still taken, and the palace maid also knows in her heart, she still eats, but she doesn't eat so deliberately, and sure enough, no one seems to doubt it anymore.

The master and servant were relieved.

It wasn't until a while later that the palace maid went to return the meal box and took back the snacks in the dining room. However, these dim sum Fan's are not touched in one bite, and they all eat them. The palace maid who met Du Gege on the road also took the dim sum back, and the palace maid saw at a glance that the dim sum of the two Gege was different.

She has three kinds of ordinary sugar cakes, sesame cakes, and chrysanthemum cakes. Dushi is there four seasons cake, glutinous rice and red bean cake, taro crisp, soufflé gluttony.

It's so unfair!

The palace maid was not convinced, and the eunuch muttered while putting a few plates in his hand, "What are you tossing?" I don't know whose stomach it all went into. Eat and eat, and sooner or later it doesn't depend on us to eat if something goes wrong. ”

The palace maids were stunned, and the eunuch rudely stuffed the box back into her hand: "Take it." ”

The palace maid didn't care about him, so she hurried back with the lunch box.
