15. Is the favorite concubine going to make a move?
In the harem, a dark horse with such a strong momentum was killed, and Zheng Shao was not the only one who was on fire?
When Zheng Wei went to the queen's palace to report on the first day after "recovering", she saw the big boil on Jiang Zhaoyi's mouth that couldn't be covered by such a thick powder.
Without waiting for the stool to sit hot, Jiang Zhaoyi first cried and complained to the queen: "...... When I left, I didn't even say goodbye to the concubine, since she moved to me, the concubine didn't dare to say how good it was to her, but what should be given to her, the concubine didn't lack, she was good, in front of the slaves and maids in the palace, she said to leave, this is not to put the concubine in her eyes at all! ”
The queen just nodded lightly: "This palace knows that you are wronged, Yun Chongrong was so frightened by the water, and his illness has not yet recovered, so it is understandable that he is not acting well." Jiang Zhaoyi, you are an old man, you have to show the bearing of an old man. ”
As soon as the words came out, almost the entire concubine sitting in the room looked at it in amazement.
Jiang Zhaoyi is not only an old man who came out of the palace, she also gave birth to the only daughter for the emperor - Princess Jiafu, and it is precisely because of her that she is not even famous, and the merchant girl who was born as a concubine can be crowned the head of the nine concubines when the emperor ascends the throne of the harem.
A concubine like Jiang Zhaoyi, who has long been unfavored, gave birth to only a daughter, has qualifications and can't hinder others, has always been the object that palace concubines are willing to envelop. However, Jiang Zhaoyi had already made it clear that she would only follow the queen, and only the queen would look forward.
Reciprocating the peach, the queen has always taken good care of her, a horse boy, but today she actually refuted Jiang Zhaoyi's words in public, and she refuted it so bluntly, which is too unusual.
Moreover, what does the queen mean, is she letting Jiang Zhaoyi, a high-ranking concubine, let Yun be full, and act according to her face?
The slap is to slap oneself in the face, and the one who slaps the person will not feel that his face has been ripped off and feel embarrassed?
What happened to make the queen say such discouraged words?
Zheng Wei saw that several high-ranking concubines sitting at the front gave them several glances vaguely, and even the concubines who rarely spoke and rarely appeared in the queen's palace, and the concubines, who were almost equivalent to invisible people in the harem, looked at the queen thoughtfully.
Jiang Zhaoyi's tears were still hanging on her cheeks, even a person like her who could talk, and she was stunned for a while before she reluctantly smiled: "The lesson of Niangniang is that the concubine is older, and she shouldn't be so careless about her younger sister." ”
In the past, no matter what the queen said, she could quickly take over the conversation and interpret the meaning of the queen's inconvenience, I don't know how much trouble the queen saved, but after this day, Jiang Zhaoyi's interest has not been very high, and she has never spoken again.
There was a trace of bitterness in the queen's mouth, how could she not know that she was doing this today because she had no face for herself?
But what happened last night--
Because yesterday was the fifteenth, the emperor went to the middle palace to rest according to the rules.
These days, the emperor went to Yun Chongrong as soon as he went to the court, and repeatedly broke the stereotypes for her, which caused a lot of discussion in the palace.
Unexpectedly, before she was served, the emperor's face was "brushed" to the ground, and he immediately threw off his sleeves and was about to leave!
The empress remembered the emperor's demeanor and movements at that time, and felt cold in her heart: "When do I need the empress to give me advice?!" The queen only needs to do her part, and you don't have to worry about my affairs! ”
Since the emperor married the empress, he has never said a word about the affairs of the inner court. It's not that he hasn't spoiled people, but no matter who he spoils again, he has never interfered with her handling of a favored concubine who has exceeded the norm, and now he has such a big temper for a cheap maid!
In the past 20 years, she and the emperor have always been male protagonists and female protagonists, respecting each other like guests. After entering the Middle Palace, although he has passed away in his prime and his face is no longer there, for the sake of giving birth to the prince, the emperor has never shown his face like this.
That actually fascinated the emperor to this point!
Fortunately, when this happened, the emperor and queen were ready to go to bed, and the left and right had been sent away, so they were the only two of them who knew about it.
The empress didn't want to think about how she knelt humbly on the ground later, begging the emperor to stay and save her face, but she knew that Yun Chongrong would get rid of this person! Not only that, but it must be removed quickly!
Since the emperor feels so sorry for this cheap maid, of course she has to follow the emperor's wishes, so that she is a good wife of His Majesty!
The queen glanced at Zheng Shao as if unintentionally, and saw that the latter's expression was as gloomy as she wished, and held the teacup to block the corners of her mouth that couldn't help but curl: "If the sisters don't have anything else to say, let's disperse today." ”
In the past few days, Zheng Wei has been avoiding Zheng Shao intentionally or unintentionally, for fear of accidentally blowing her up. However, when she arrived at Jingchen Palace, before she had a chance to hide back in her cabin, Zheng Shao stopped her first: "Zheng Meiren, you come in with this palace." ”
Zheng Wei glanced at her expression, that beautiful little face was full of anger, thinking of this uproar, about Yun Chongrong, Zheng Wei's heart suddenly raised, she wouldn't have any thoughts about Yun Chongrong, and wanted to let herself be blackmailed, right?
Since entering the palace, Zheng Wei has not thought that she may face this kind of thing, but she has been an innocent and good person in her previous life and her next life, and she has never taken the initiative to harm anyone, she is really not sure that she will not be able to do it.
Moreover, selfishly, she did not want to use this means to eradicate the enemy. As for whether Zheng Shao would hide things from her, she didn't think about it. After all, she has been the only and most useful kobold military advisor by her side since she was a child, and this girl has a difficult matter, when has she not consulted her? Not to mention, such a thing should be handled with caution.
However, before Zheng Wei finished her struggle, she soon knew that she had guessed wrong.
Zheng Shao told her another thing: "Do you remember what I told you last time in the Imperial Garden that I wanted to see Su Lan?" ”
Zheng Wei breathed a sigh of relief: "Haven't you sent someone yet?" ”
Zheng Shao shook her head and said: "No, as you said, if I send someone casually, I am afraid that my good intentions will be wasted by her." ”
Zheng Wei understood: "You want me to go?" Otherwise, Zheng Shao would not have mentioned this matter to her again and again.
Zheng Shao nodded and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Not how.
Zheng Wei didn't have a hobby of beating water dogs, remembering several unpleasant experiences when dealing with Su Lan, she felt that Zheng Shao's kindness could only end up feeding the dogs. Even if she went, it wouldn't help.
However, compared to harming people, just sending something, this is too simple, even if the person who was sent was sick.
Zheng Wei happily accepted the task: "Are you going now?" You give me something, and I'll take advantage of the cool air in the morning to bring it to her. ”
After Zheng Wei left, Zheng Shao sat alone by the window for a long time.
"Madam, why didn't you tell Miss Wei about this?" Taking advantage of the ice tray for Zheng Shao, the jade version couldn't help but ask.
In the jade version's view, Zheng Wei is thoughtful and like a sister with her master, as long as the master talks about the difficulties, she will definitely do it.
And in the past in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, when Zheng Shao wanted to rectify her disobedient sisters, Zheng Wei gave her ideas. If it weren't for her as a military advisor, she successfully helped Zheng Shao avoid several plots from her sisters, and her master's life in the Hou Mansion would definitely not be so comfortable.
Zheng Shao took a sip of iced sour plum soup, but only felt bitter in his heart: "This is my own business, what are you doing with her involvement?" ”
"But—" Didn't Madame send Miss Wei in to help you solve your problems?
As soon as the jade version spoke, Zheng Shao raised her hand to stop her from continuing: "When did you see her hurt someone?" She couldn't do it. ”
Even if Zheng Wei was viciously rectified by several of her cousins when she entered the mansion, causing her to almost be smashed on the head by a stone falling from the rockery, not only did she never sue, but later she only managed to make those concubines a little ugly in front of everyone, which can be regarded as revenge.
If she hadn't inadvertently said it after she became friends with her later, she wouldn't have known that Zheng Wei had secretly suffered so much.
So what, people always change. The jade version was unimpressed.
But she knew that it was useless to persuade her, so she had to shut up.
Yuban went back to the house, and saw Chengxin with his back to her, and he was also in a silent daze, so he couldn't help but smile: "You look like you're in a daze, but it's exactly the same as our lady just now." ”
As soon as she spoke, she knew she was wrong.
Sure enough, Chengxin's face, which was already not energetic, darkened even more.
Since the time she went against Zheng Shao's will in April and stopped her outside Kunhe Palace, Zheng Shao was annoyed with her. The first thing he did after returning to the palace was to expel her from his side, and he still has no intention of letting her come back.
Now the jade version said it casually, and it was poured into sprinkling salt on Chengxin's wound.
In the end, the master and servant for many years, Chengxin was just disappointed when he heard this, and then he cared about the words of the jade version: "The master is not happy? But because of the cloud capacity? Although she stayed in the room all day and didn't go out, of course she knew that Yun Chongrong's matter was so big.
The jade version's eyes flickered, this was originally a private matter of the master, even if he was the same sister as Cheng, he couldn't say it, and he still couldn't reveal a word.
But Cheng Xin's mind is so delicate, he understands most of it at a glance, thinking of his master's former temperament, he can't help but be anxious: "Yun Chongrong is just relying on the temporary favor of the saint, and it won't last long, you tell your wife, please don't mess up, don't be impulsive." ”
I have to say that Zheng Shao, a servant girl who grew up close to her, still knows her very well, and she guessed the idea with just one sentence.
The jade version gave a vague "um", but lowered his eyes and didn't look at Chengxin. Although she didn't think what Zheng Shao did was wrong, with her understanding of Chengxin, if she knew, she would definitely not agree with Madame to deal with Yun Chongrong in person.
Chengxin immediately became suspicious and asked, "By the way, Miss Wei hasn't been to the main hall for a few days, is Mrs. having trouble with Miss Wei?" "If Zheng Wei is here, Zheng Shao's situation is still stable for the most part.
The jade version only felt that Chengxin's questioning one after another was very shocking, and if she continued to ask, she was afraid that without her own answer, Chengxin would be able to guess seven, seven, eighty, eight, and she hurriedly made an excuse: "I remember that the ice in the hall is almost running out, and I have to go and get the ice." ”
Chengxin looked at her back almost like she was fleeing, her expression changed several times, and finally she stood up suddenly.
In the queen's palace, Mama Yu stepped forward quickly and whispered a few words to the queen who was copying Buddhist scriptures, and the queen's eyes slowly lit up: "Okay!" Now we'll wait and see when she moves! ”
