25. Favorite concubine? Pet!
Zheng Wei rubbed her eyebrows and said tiredly: "Let's talk about it tomorrow." ”
Since she was a child, Zheng Wei has never deceived Zheng Shao like this. Because of this, Zheng Shao didn't expect that this qiē was just Zheng Wei's design, so she would be so anxious to clear her of responsibility when it first happened, and even did not hesitate to confront the emperor and queen for this.
No matter what his intentions were, he always lied to her.
However, seeing Zheng Shao go to a dead end, Zheng Wei couldn't do it.
If this time, Zheng Shao harmed Yun Chongrong, even if he was lucky not to be caught, what about next time? What about next time? If you walk a lot at night, you will always encounter ghosts.
Chengxin also knew Zheng Shao's temper, so she sighed and comforted: "Miss Wei doesn't have to worry too much, the slave will find an opportunity to persuade the eldest lady." As soon as she finished saying this, a little eunuch ran out of the corner door and hurriedly said: "Sister Chengxin, I can find you, go back and take a look, Your Majesty and Niangniang quarreled." ”
Chengxin let out an "ah" and asked anxiously, "Wasn't it okay when I came out just now?" What's the quarrel? She didn't care about talking anymore, nodded at Zheng Wei, and ran back with the little eunuch.
Tonight's war was too draining, and Zheng Wei was much slower to react. Even if she returned to the room with her front foot, she saw two rows of fish scale lanterns coming out of Jingchen Palace with her back foot, and when the emperor left with a calm face and shook his sleeves, Zheng Wei only sent the silk basket to ask, and instructed Qiao Mu to prepare water for bathing, and fell asleep soon after taking a bath.
The main hall was tossed almost all night.
When the incident happened, there were only two imperial concubines in the house. Chengxin asked those little palace maids and eunuchs, but he didn't ask why, but he heard Zheng Shao in the main hall urging the jade version repeatedly: "What do I want you to find the puzzle?" Why are you still grinding?! ”
The jade version didn't know what to answer, and then heard a loud "clang".
Chengxin hurriedly entered the door, only to see broken porcelain pieces on the ground, melons and peaches rolling everywhere, and it was Zheng Shao who swept all the things on the table to the ground.
Cheng Xin hurriedly said: "Don't worry, madam, it's the slave who hasn't remembered it for a long time, and I'm afraid that it will be gray, so I received it in the camphor wood box a few days ago." Slave and maid, I'll find it out for you. ”
Zheng Shao's face was full of frost, but fortunately she just urged with a cold face: "Don't look for it yet!" "While walking in the temple is so bored that he walks around.
Chengxin didn't dare to ask more, and after quickly finding out the puzzle with his hands and feet, the two of them hurriedly withdrew from the main hall.
As soon as he left the palace, Cheng Xin pulled the jade plate and asked, "But what did our lady say that made His Majesty angry?" So she even took out the puzzles? The puzzle that Chengxin said was Zheng Wei's imitation of the puzzle of the previous life, and when she was a child, she used thin wooden boards to paint famous paintings to play with Zheng Shao. Zheng Shao liked it very much when she was a child, and when she grew up, she would occasionally find it out and play with it. And usually when she plays puzzles, it means that she is in a messed up.
The jade version said depressedly: "It was good, but later His Majesty said that our wife was too good to Miss Wei, and I don't know if I can do this to him one day, but our wife didn't answer immediately, and My Majesty was annoyed somehow." As soon as Madame's temper came up, she didn't pay attention to Her Majesty, didn't the two of them screw it up? ”
Chengxin was anxious when she heard this: the eldest lady must be angry for Miss Wei to deceive her, at this time, when Her Majesty mentioned her again, she didn't want to say it clearly, she would definitely not be happy, it was already good that she could not lose her temper at this time, how could she still coax the emperor? Speaking of which, in the more than half a year that the eldest lady has been in the palace, this is the first time she has lost her temper with the emperor. But don't lose the good situation you won tonight!
Cheng was so worried that she didn't sleep all night, she opened her eyes and accompanied Zheng Shao to do puzzles all night, and the next day before dawn, she found an excuse to sneak out and find Zheng Wei to come up with ideas.
Since Zheng Wei did such a big thing hiding from Zheng Shao last night, in Cheng Xin's heart, Zheng Wei's ability has reached an unprecedented height. Now when she encounters something, she unconsciously regards Zheng Wei as the backbone first.
After a good night's sleep, Zheng Wei's mood also improved a lot, and she smiled after listening to Chengxin: "I think this is a good thing." ”
No matter how smart Chengxin was, he didn't expect Zheng Wei to say such a thing, so he couldn't help but be stupid, "Huh? ”
Zheng Wei thought for a while and asked, "It's been so long since you entered the palace, have you ever seen your majesty have had trouble with any lady?" ”
Cheng didn't know why, but he still recalled, "A few days ago, didn't you say that Jin Xiaoyi met Her Majesty in the Imperial Garden and wanted to lean over, but her Majesty's face darkened?" ”
Zheng Wei smiled: "I'm asking you if you've ever had trouble with others, not if you've ever been angry with others." ”
The word "stunned" in a capital letter on Chengxin's face was obviously confused by Zheng Wei.
Zheng Wei didn't know how to explain the subtle differences to Chengxin. It's not that she hasn't seen the scene of the emperor getting along with the concubine, the emperor's condescending and occasionally bantering attitude always makes her think of two words - pet.
Yes, pets.
Therefore, the emperor handed over all the harem to the housekeeper called "Empress", and the other concubines only needed to wear beautiful clothes every day and dress up beautifully to meet him and please him. As for what they want to do, what they want, whether they are full of food or not, whether they are treated harshly, the emperor actually doesn't care.
Zheng Wei didn't believe that the emperor who came from a mediocre background and successfully defeated so many people and finally became the master of the Dayong Dynasty would be fooled.
However, whether it was openly or secretly, even if his concubines fought for favor and life, not only did he not say a word about it, except for Yun Chongrong, he did not openly protect anyone. If you like it, you will reward it, and if you hate it, there are other women to deal with. This can only show that he is too lazy to bother with these women.
But now, he actually asked Zheng Shao this question, which is really interesting. After all, who would want to inquire about their pet's thoughts? Combined with some of the emperor's expressions last night, Zheng Wei felt that the situation might not be as bad as she imagined.
Zheng Wei expected it to be good, this time after the emperor lost his temper, it spread throughout the palace on the same day. Because the queen was "occasionally dyed with a small illness" and needed to recuperate for a few days, the tea party in Kunhe Palace was not held, and that morning, Jingchen Palace ushered in several concubines, openly and secretly inquired whether the emperor had a falling out with Zheng Shao, so as to see if he had a chance to ascend to the throne.
However, these people's ideas are doomed to come to naught.
Zheng Shao had an awkward relationship with the emperor for a few days, but he was unwilling to bow to him. In the past few days of the Cold War with the emperor, she herself has not done anything, but she has choked the people under her in a hurry. In the end, he couldn't even stabilize his heart, and ran to Zheng Wei several times, wanting to ask her to help persuade Zheng Shao. But Zheng Shao didn't want to see her at all, where did she persuade her? Moreover, three days later, the emperor met Zheng Shao once in the Imperial Garden, and later followed Zheng Shao back to Jingchen Palace.
According to Chengxin, this time, they really met by chance.
By the time the laurel was fragrant in August, the relationship between Zheng Wei and Zheng Shao had not been repaired, but the emperor spent more and more time going to Zheng Shao every day. Even if Yun Chongrong's face is better, Rou Concubine's body is also restored, and with the addition of two strong rivals, the emperor's favor for Zheng Shao is still enough to make the harem concubines look sideways.
Moreover, after the confrontation between the queen and Zheng Shao in the Diecui Pavilion spread, there were more and more people who came to Jingchen Palace every day to flatter, and even Zheng Wei was disturbed several times. It was only later that those people saw that her relationship with Zheng Shao had not thawed, and then it slowly faded.
However, these low-level concubines in Jingchen Palace did not dare to despise her at will because they had seen how Zheng Shao was desperately defending Zheng Wei.
Bored for a long time, Zheng Wei was idle anyway, and now Zheng Shao ignores her, and she occasionally interacts with these people.
On this day, Zheng Wei was playing leaf cards with Liu Xuanzhi and them, and suddenly saw the silk basket enter the door with a panicked expression.
