Sure enough, within a few days, Concubine Wan deliberately found someone to give a vent to An Concubine's palace, and after An Concubine heard about it, she was even more resentful. After a light snow at the end www.biquge.info of the year, the two met in the imperial garden behind Kunning Palace.

It is said to be a garden, but in fact, most of the pavilions and palaces have not yet been built, except for a few plum trees and a few rockeries, as well as the nourishing house in the west, there is no other scenery. Ah Xiushang was thrifty and ordered people to temporarily open up a few plots of land for temporary farming. Tianying was bending down to hold a hoe to serve a long of garlic, the snow and soil that were pushed away stained the corners of her skirt and shoes, Yingxue happened to pass by, and said with a smile: "Sister De Concubine is older, for example, this kind of rough work, although my family is a small family, but I am an only daughter, my parents will never let me touch these rough guys, only ask people to do it." ”

Tianying stood up straight, handed the hoe to the painting and said with a smile: "My sister is used to being pampered, so naturally I don't like these. ”

"My sister entered the house early, so my sister naturally knows about it, and I have heard some anecdotes." Ying Xue smiled even more charmingly, "For example, relying on tokens to recognize relatives or something." Tianying's complexion changed a few times, and she wanted to reason with her, but Su Xin happened to pass by, and called Tianying and said, "Concubine De Niangniang." Ying Xue saw that it was the queen's personal female official, so she restrained her color and stood aside and watched.

Su Xin stepped forward and saluted Tianying: "The queen invites you to have lunch together." Turning his face to Ying Xue, he said lightly: "Is there anything wrong with Concubine An?" ”

"Since the queen mother invited my sister over, I won't bother, Scarlet Sleeves, let's go, it's not worth it for the dirty shoes and socks to be dirty here." Yingxue saw that she didn't salute herself, and turned around to leave with a displeased face, but Su Xin smiled and said: "Concubine An Niangniang's noble eyes are high, this is the place where the queen's mother opens, you can not come in the future, so as not to dirty your feet." ”

Yingxue felt speechless, wanted to say something, Su Xin had already followed Tianying away, put away the hoe in the painting, and followed, Yingxue saw them enter the Kunning Gate, and whispered: "The queen is just a broken household without a father, what's crazy?" ”

The scarlet sleeves pulled An Concubine's clothes: "When the master talks like this, when there is no one, just say it in the palace, there are ears on the outer partition wall, don't say it." An Concubine looked back and glared: "What are you afraid of?" Why didn't you see Su Xin coming out just now? ”

When Ah Xiu saw Tianying coming, her face didn't seem good, and she asked Su Xin, "Why have you been gone for so long?" Su Xin said: "When I went to the palace, Concubine De was not there, the little girl said that she was in the Imperial Garden, and I looked for it again, and I saw that Concubine An seemed to ridicule Concubine De Niangniang." ”

Ah Xiu asked Tianying: "What Su Xin said is true?" What did Concubine An say? Tianying pursed her lips: "There is nothing." Seeing that she refused to speak, Ah Xiu asked her to clean her face and hands with Su Xin, and asked into the painting: "What did Concubine An say about your master?" I didn't dare to hide it when I entered the painting, and I learned the words and feelings of the two.

"I can play the pipa with one hand, I think I am ambitious, and I have no face for our master." At the end of the painting, he fills his mouth with indignation. Ah Xiu smiled: "The lord is worried about the ministers, the lord humiliates the ministers to death, and the palace also knows about the fact that you were beaten by An Concubine, I only ask you if you want to ask your master and yourself for an explanation." ”

Into the painting said: "Nature! As long as Concubine An knows that it is powerful, so that Concubine De Niangniang is no longer angry, even if she wants the slave to die, she is willing. "Ah Xiu smiled, naturally I don't need you to die, just make an idea with you." After speaking, he summoned the painting to the front and whispered a few words.

When Tianying came back after freshening up, Axiu pulled her to sit down all the way, ordered someone to pass the food, and quietly withdrew from the painting, and Axiu treated it as if she hadn't seen it. "Tianying, I intend to let you move to the East Sixth Palace, I don't know what you want?" Ah Xiu motioned to Su Xin to clip a goose paw for her, "This goose paw is Su Xin's craft, you can taste it." The people in the east are old people, they get along with each other, and they don't like to make trouble. ”

"What the queen mother means, Tianying understands, it's just that my promotion to the title of concubine is my sister's opinion, and there is a lot of discussion in the palace, and my sister is so openly protecting her shortcomings, I'm afraid she will be criticized again." Tianying put down her chopsticks and said uneasily.

"You and I are different from others, for example, Concubine An said those words to you, you don't have to pay attention to them, you are now in the right position, your name is right, she is disrespectful to you, you can repay your grievances directly, there is no need to blindly forbear, but in the future, you will cause trouble." Ah Xiu persuaded her.

Tianying hung her head and was silent, and Ah Xiu glanced at Su Xin: "When you went to invite Concubine De, did Concubine An treat you with contempt?" Su Xin said: "It's quite angry, it's okay, but because I saluted Concubine De and didn't salute her." ”

Ah Xiu smiled and said to Tianying: "If you have such a heart, Concubine An naturally won't dare to snub you." "I personally clipped a chopstick fish to her, "I will move to Changning Palace tomorrow, Changle is peaceful, and I guess we won't meet if I have nothing to do." ”

While chatting, the chamberlain Zhao Cheng came in to reply, and Ah Xiu asked him to come in. "Back to the queen mother, Your Majesty just saved a palace maid who is looking for death in the imperial garden, it seems to be from the palace of the concubine, let you go and see."

Ah Xiu knew it, but he didn't show his color, asked the reason, pretended to be very eager and pulled Tianying to nourish his sex, and when he entered the door, he saw the neck strap of the painting kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, Zhu Yuanzhang was quite angry sitting in the main seat.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw the two of them coming in, and said angrily: "Queen, look at it, Tianying's palace maid is actually looking for death here, if I didn't happen to come to see the vegetable garden, she would have hanged herself on a tree!" I asked her if she still couldn't speak. Before Ah Xiu could speak, Tianying hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty is angry, this kid knows how to measure on weekdays, and he deserves death for the crime of driving the saint, please spare her and punish her concubine." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Ah Xiu: "What does the queen think about this matter?" Ah Xiu asked into the painting: "Why do you want to die?" Do you know that telling the truth is a deception, and deceiving the king is a great sin. Not only will your people be harmed, but your master will also be affected. Into the painting is sorrowful: "The slave and maid have no grievances, but they are just unfair for the master." ”

"Oh?" Ah Xiu deliberately asked, "What grievances does your master have that you want to fight to the death?" Zhu Yuanzhang also asked: "If you tell the truth, I will forgive you for your innocence, and if you hide it or make something out of nothing, I will punish you for the nine clans." ”

Into the painting cried loudly: "An Concubine used to slap my mouth in front of my master in the past, just because I said that my master is older than An Concubine, and An Concubine should not call me my master's sister." "Breathed a sigh of relief, "Today, the master is serving the vegetables in the garden, and Concubine An openly provokes that my master is a concubine, and he only entered the house by relying on tokens. Although she is a small family, she is an only daughter, and she disdains to do the rough work done by these subordinates. ”

The more Zhu Yuanzhang listened, the more angry he became, and said: "Presumptuous! Outrageous! Then he leaned back in his chair with a shudder, "Are you telling the truth?" Into the painting kowtowed: "Into the painting is a slave, it should not be said that these masters have tongues, but I am really angry that the master has repeatedly endured and been humiliated!" Every word of what is said is the truth, if there is half a word of falsehood, my whole clan will not die well! ”
