In the palace, it is the most common thing for concubines to drink tea and chat about gossip in groups, such as Chen Shuyuan, Yu Ronghua and Wei Chonghua, who often sit in the pavilion behind the Lantai and chat.

This morning, Chen Shuyuan was reprimanded by Sima Yao, and she felt so aggrieved, so she sat on the stone table and ate melon seeds to relieve her boredom, Yu Ronghua suddenly said: "I heard that there is a new Xiao beauty in our palace, who is from the Xiao family of Lanling, and is sponsored by King Langya, and she was named a beauty just after she came."

Yu Ronghua said that, turned his head to look at Wei Chonghua, but Wei Chonghua did not answer, nor did he look sideways at her, but secretly glanced at Chen Shuyuan, saw that her face was gloomy, and immediately withdrew his gaze.

Wei Chonghua has more insight than Yu Ronghua, and now that Chen Shuyuan is here, how can she talk about newcomers in the palace with others, you must know that Chen Shuyuan has always disliked this, not to mention that Yu Ronghua also raised the value of Xiao Meiren.

Yu Ronghua was cold, laughed dryly, and continued: "That Xiao Meiren, I also saw it on the way to the Longevity Hall this morning to greet Concubine Li, Zhou Lu led her, as if she was going to arrange where to stay, and she was followed by three girls, who seemed to be brought in from the family."

Wei Chonghua glanced at Chen Shuyuan again, and saw that she was slightly twisting her eyebrows, and she was obviously dissatisfied with Yu Ronghua, so she thought that she had to tell Yu Ronghua to shut up quickly, so as not to suffer Chen Shuyuan's loss.

Then he answered: "The Xiao family is not such a pomp, Panxi, when we entered the palace, didn't we also bring two maids, then Xiao Meiren just brought one more than us, it is worth your elevation?"

Speaking of the pomp and circumstance of the Xiao family, she immediately became interested and replied: "The Lanling Xiao family has a big business, and I want to be the pomp when Wanwan got married, but it is really amazing, Wanwan is just married to King Langya to be a child, and the Xiao family also gave her a lot of dowry, I remember that the red makeup is more than ten miles and hundreds of miles, and now the Xiao family sends their daughter to the palace, and it is not extravagant anymore."

As she spoke, Wei Chonghua felt helpless, and hurriedly raised his foot and stepped on her, but he didn't know that this foot actually stepped on Chen Shuyuan.

Chen Shuyuan's face immediately darkened, but Wei Chonghua didn't know it, seeing that Yu Ronghua didn't react at all, she noticed the abnormality, and then turned her eyes to look at Chen Shuyuan, only to know that she had stepped on the wrong person, and her face froze instantly.

And Yu Ronghua also looked at Chen Shuyuan at this time, but still said to herself: "Sister Chen, I have seen that Xiao Meiren, she is beautiful and very pleasing, I guess she will be able to receive His Majesty's favor in the future, and she will be regarded as a strong rival of Gu Ying and Lu Xuan at that time, let's take advantage of the present time to bring her over, let's help her take the position, and she will help us deal with the two in the West Palace (Gu Xiurong and Lu Xiuyi), Sister Chen, what do you think?"

Before Yu Ronghua's words fell, Chen Shuyuan had already answered, and said in a weird manner: "Sister Yu, you said so much, just to ask this palace to help that Xiao Meiren get close to Your Majesty?"

Yu Ronghua was slightly stunned, it was clear that Chen Shuyuan was right, Chen Shuyuan stood up, paced in the pavilion, and continued: "This palace knows, you Jiang Zuo Yu clan, and Lanling Xiao family have been friends for generations, you and Xiao Juan of the palace are like sisters, that Xiao Meiren is Xiao Juan's sister, you want to help her, this is also understandable, this palace naturally won't say anything, but if you blindly grow up her ambition to destroy your own prestige, then Bengong will not be happy."

Speaking of which, Chen Shuyuan looked at Wei Chonghua again and said, "King Ran, did you say it?"

Wei Chonghua was frightened, and hurriedly responded: "Yes."

Chen Shuyuan looked at Yu Ronghua again, and Yu Ronghua explained with a smile: "Sister Chen, you misunderstood, I have a good relationship with Wanwan, but that Xiao Su, I have never even seen her outside the palace before, let alone help her."

Chen Shuyuan sneered and said, "Your Majesty arranged for her to live in the Yilan Palace, what kind of place do you think the Yilan Palace is, forgive her for not going anywhere in the future!"

She had heard His Majesty say that Xiao Meiren was his nemesis, and he would never keep her alive for a long time, let alone let her be favored.

Chen Shuyuan turned around and left, Yu Ronghua looked at her and said in a low voice: "Hmph, it's just a singing girl in the teaching workshop, what are you proud of!"

Wei Chonghua turned his head and glanced at Chen Shuyuan, then looked back and pushed Yu Ronghua, and whispered, "You don't have to say a word."

How do you know that Yu Ronghua said: "Sister Ran, we have played since childhood, don't turn your elbow out."

Wei Chonghua was displeased when he heard this, and he held his breath in his heart, and immediately stood up and left, following Chen Shuyuan.

Seeing that Wei Chonghua was also gone, Chunjin, the maidservant behind Yu Ronghua, asked, "Ronghua, where are we going?"

Yu Ronghua glanced at her sideways, and said angrily: "Go back to the Changqiu Palace!"

With that, he stood up and brushed his sleeves away.

At that time, Sima Yao had already left the court, and Zhou Lu also returned to the Qingxia Hall and stood at the door of the palace to greet Sima Yao.

Seeing Sima Yao coming back, he hurriedly walked to greet him, and called respectfully: "Your Majesty."

Sima Yao didn't rush to respond, until he entered the hall, and then asked, "It's all arranged?"

"Yes, it's all arranged."

Sima Yao asked again: "How many palace maids I picked for her have gone?"

"It's going, it's just ......" Zhou Lu was a little embarrassed, Sima Yao sensed that something was wrong, so he stopped and turned to look at him, and asked, "Just what?"

Zhou Lu said: "You picked six for her to mix in the middle, and those ten people, she deliberately picked six more to look at the clever point and ask the slave to arrange it elsewhere, saying that she likes to be clean, and there are more people to make her feel uneasy."

Sima Yao frowned slightly when he heard this, looking a little displeased, Zhou Lu said: "The slave has already told her, those were personally selected by His Majesty to give her three times, but she still ......"

Sima Yao suddenly asked, "What about Yuxiu, is she still in Yilan Palace?"

Zhou Lu hurriedly replied and said: "There is only one Yuxiu left, and the other five are all let her pick out, according to the slave maid, this girl is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface, her mind is very meticulous, if Yuxiu didn't lower her head and pretend to be panicked, she would definitely not be there."

Sima Yao smiled faintly and said, "She's on guard against me."

As he spoke, he nodded again and said, "Interesting."

Zhou Lu had already said that it was all personally selected by him to reward her, and she even refused, even if she doubted him, it was the first time he had seen him so openly, just like when he was in the palace that day, he was an interesting person.

Zhou Lu paused, and then said, "Your Majesty, there is something...... It's about Xiao Meiren and Huan Ziye......"

Sima Yao was slightly stunned, "What's the matter, you say." ”

Zhou Lu said truthfully: "The slave maid just went to the palace gate to greet Xiao Meiren, but saw Huan Ziye come to see him off, chased him all the way to the palace gate, and gave his Ke Tingdi and Jiao Weiqin to Xiao Meiren.

Sima Yao didn't say anything, only thought, Zhou Lu said again: "Your Majesty still remembers the last time King Langya cut off Huan Horse's arm for Xiao Meiren, at that time, although it was the eldest princess of Xunyang who came forward to relieve the siege, but in fact it was Huan Ziye who broke the siege, and the slave maid heard that Huan Ziye had followed the Maizi cultivation of Zhongnan Mountain in his early years, if he wanted to give Huan a horse an arm, this is probably not a difficult thing, he did this, presumably not only for the honor and disgrace of the Huan family."

Sima Yao was still silent, still just listening. (To be continued.) )
