Zheng Wei pointed to the direction where Li Meiren lived, Zheng Shao lowered her head and picked her nails: "Where can it be so easy?" There were so many people coming and going that day, and you didn't see what that man looked like, how to check? ”

Zheng Wei thought about it, Wei Yuanhou had at most installed a few people in the palace for Zheng Shao's dispatch, and if such secrets wanted to be traced, they definitely didn't have that energy.

But sometimes people are like this, you suddenly know half of the secret, and you always have an itch in your heart, trying to pull out the other half tightly to figure it out.

Zheng Wei couldn't control her curiosity so much, but when she saw Li Meiren in the queen's palace again, she couldn't help but look at her more.

Li Meiren combed her falling horse bun and wore a madder-colored bone-length gauze full-breasted skirt, sitting quietly where the last few rows of low-ranking concubines were, she bowed her head slightly, her hands folded on her knees in a regular manner, and she looked very inconspicuous. Although the color of Li Meiren's clothes is quite bright, her whole person is like being covered with a layer of gray, and she always seems to be missing a sense of spirit.

After half a year in the palace, Zheng Shao knew very well what this gray feeling was: this was the taste of falling out of favor and being frustrated.

Based on Zheng Wei's negligible "holy grace", if she hadn't had a powerful cousin to support her, she would have sat with Li Meiren and gone to ashes now.

Zheng Wei only glanced at Li Meiren, she looked up at her as if she had a feeling.

Zheng Wei didn't expect her to be so keen, she couldn't hide from it, so she simply glanced at her generously, smiled and nodded before turning around.

After making sure that no one could see her expression, Zheng Wei muttered in her heart: There are not many concubines in Zhou Xian's harem compared to the old emperor, but there are also twenty or thirty. Zheng Wei usually doesn't like to walk around with people, and she really didn't notice that Li Meiren's appearance is quite good even in the emperor's current harem. At least, she looks much better than her little sister Concubine De at the same time, and I don't know how Concubine De took the lead among the two and became the one who stood tall.

And Li Meiren, who has been unfavored for many years, no matter how beautiful she looks, it is a pity that she is easy to get old, she is the palace maid who gave Zhou Xian to Zhou Xian by Queen Xiandeyi, that is, to help him get rid of it, then her age should be about the same as Zhou Xian, and Zhou Xian is thirty-five years old this year.

The years are not forgiving, don't look at Li Meiren's powder evenly painted, but if you take a closer look, there are already crow's feet in the corners of her eyes. With her "advanced age" of almost forty, it is impossible for her to turn over and be favored.

This point, the minions in the harem who have always been poisonous, see it most accurately. Because, Li Meiren's clothes look very bright and clean at first glance, but it was last year's style, and the cuffs were washed a little white. The concubines who are still in color will not be favored anymore, and they will not be trampled on to the point that they can only wear old clothes, and wise minions know that there is a line in everything. Only concubines who have no hope at all for Li Meiren will try their best to scrape every drop of oil off her.

Even in the small transparent circle where Li Meiren was sitting, she was also down.

Since the queen entered the middle palace, she has always acted fairly and managed very well, at least there has never been a shortage of things that should be available in each palace. Li Meiren can live like this, either it means that she has a bad relationship with Concubine De, the lord of Jintang Palace, and Concubine De is unwilling to take care of her, or she deliberately pretends to be poor and shabby.

Among them, the second possibility is so small that it can be ignored, the up and down in this palace has always been "respecting Luo Yi first and then respecting people", if there are good clothes and good decorations pressed at the bottom of the box, I feel that it is safest to cover the meat under the rice and eat, and if I don't keep it, I will be stepped on by which dog looks at the person low. Especially for low-level concubines like Li Meiren, who have long fallen out of favor, they will not be slackened by others if they hold up the field.

It was Concubine Xue who came later that morning, and Zhou Xian spent the night with her the night before, probably because she had a father who was a privy deputy, so it was logical that she came a little late when she asked for peace the next day.

The queen has always been very amiable to these concubines, and verbally praised Concubine Xue for her hard work in serving the emperor as usual, and then praised Concubine Xue for her good complexion, so that Concubine Xue was waited for by the concubines' swords and swords before she was asked to take a seat.

Concubine Xue raised her head high, her back straight, and her eyes were cold, and she looked at the women who were sour and jealous and hated one by one, and had to shrink back. When she saw Zheng Shao's direction, even Zheng Wei, who was sitting so far away, could feel the sparks splashing when the two looked at each other.

If there is anyone in the harem who Concubine Xue is most difficult to deal with, it is tantamount to Mrs. Ying Zheng Shao.

Growing up in the same capital, Zheng Shao and Xue Concubine Su Lan have always belonged to two circles, although there are not many opportunities for the two to meet, but from childhood to adulthood, these two have been "long-admired names" to each other.

Zheng Shao, as the eldest daughter of the wealthy Marquis Wei Yuanhou in the capital, has always been among the girls of the same generation in the noble circle. And because Su Lan's grandfather was a great Confucian in the world, and her father was also a high-ranking official in the court, she was the same as Zheng Shao among the girls of the officials in the capital, and she was the storage of the stars and the moon.

Zheng Shao is beautiful, and Su Lan has a reputation for being talented, because the two of them are also high-profile and famous, so there are good people in the capital who put their two beauties together and call them "Beijing Shuangshu".

Now that these two sisters have entered the palace at the same time to serve the same man, it is better to say that Zheng Shao's grade is half a level higher than Su Lan, why is this?! Just with her face, which is nothing but beautiful? Zheng Wei could almost shout out her anger and grievances for Su Lan.

Especially as soon as Zheng Shao entered the palace, she took the lead, causing the emperor to stay with her for half a month, and then when she arrived at Su Lan, the emperor only summoned her for a day and seemed to forget her, and never asked more.

The two have similar family backgrounds, and they are also in the palace with their front and back feet, even if they don't want to be pulled out for comparison, it is impossible to block everyone's mouth.

Zheng Wei felt that even if she had more memories of a lifetime, she might not be able to calm down her mind if she looked down on many things, let alone the arrogant Su Lan?

But Su Lan is not a stupid person after all, she is just used to being high, and she is a little unsure of the importance of being praised by the sons of the family outside, thinking that everyone likes to eat her set, and after she fell a big heel from the emperor, she was stunned for half a year, isn't this a comeback?

Zheng Shao was only a little threatened by Rou Concubine in March, but she was able to keep the emperor with her for half a month, and after Su Lan fought to catch up, Zheng Shao was carefully built by the family, and the physical advantage of "fragrant sweat" only allowed the emperor to stay with her for nine days last month.

Since Zheng Shao entered the palace, the emperor has never stayed with her for less than a decade in a month.

Su Lan, who has adapted to the harem style, is a fierce rival.

After the daily tea party in Kunhe Palace was almost opened, the queen supported her forehead in a timely manner, and the interested concubines took the opportunity to say goodbye and let the queen take care of herself.

Zheng Wei got up as usual and walked in the direction of Zheng Shao, preparing to return to Jingchen Palace after joining her, so she was going in the opposite direction of the concubines who were walking out.

But this time, as soon as she took two steps, she noticed a green figure walking in the same direction as her.

It's Lee Beauty.

Li Meiren saw Zheng Wei turn her head to look at her, and smiled embarrassedly: "Zheng Meiren, was there anything wrong with me just now?" ”

Li Meiren is quite serious, others look at her casually, and she has to chase and ask for a reason.

Zheng Wei smiled casually: "I saw that Sister Li's earrings were very chic, and after looking at them twice, it bothered my sister." ”

Li Meiren's eyes were bright, as if she was very praised by Zheng Wei, she immediately took off the earrings and wanted to hand them to Zheng Wei: "Are you talking about this gadget I pinched casually?" ”

Zheng Wei didn't take it right away, although Li Meiren's pair of earrings were pulled and braided with silver wire to form a wishful knot, but it was not Zheng Wei's favorite style.

Moreover, the scene she heard in the imperial garden made her very wary of Li Meiren.

She turned away slightly and said a little coldly: "There are quite a lot of people now, if it's convenient for Sister Li, let's find another time to talk slowly, okay?" ”

Li Meiren smiled enthusiastically, as if she didn't understand Zheng Wei's refusal, and took another step forward, almost clinging to Zheng Wei: "It's just a pair of earrings, don't be so troublesome, if Sister Zheng likes it, I'll give it to my sister." After she finished speaking, she was going to pull Zheng Wei's hand.

Zheng Wei was stern against her extraordinary enthusiasm, she immediately took two steps back, and before she could speak, she heard someone ask sharply: "Zheng Meiren, don't you have long eyes when you walk?" is so rampage, do you know that the dignity and inferiority are orderly?! ”

Rotten! How did you provoke Concubine Xue's opponent?

Zheng Wei hurriedly turned around and found that she had retreated in front of Concubine Xue at some point, half of her body blocking her way.

Zheng Wei knew that she was playing on the topic and slapped Zheng Shao's face, but she was in front of Concubine Xue, and she was really a bit of a mistake. She glanced at Zheng Shao, who was raising her eyebrows behind her, and planned to take two steps back to make way for Concubine Xue.

At this time, the corner of her eyes swept back, and found that Li Meiren was not in her sight, where did she hide in a word?

Zheng Wei felt that something was wrong in her heart, and she didn't make any action for a while.

Su Lan thought that Zheng Wei was deliberately finding fault, and her cold little face was suddenly covered with frost: "What? Is Zheng Meiren not convinced? Didn't your Zheng family teach you the rules of the palace? ”

Su Lan was already scolding her for not being a tutor in the Zheng family, Zheng Shao was originally a violent charcoal-like character, how could she still bear it, and immediately walked up and said, "Su Lan-"

Zheng Wei didn't care what she said, the sunlight shone in through the panes of Kunhe Palace, stretching the shadow behind her very long.

The shadow was combing her fallen ponytail and bowing her head slightly, it was Li Meiren who flashed behind her!

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Zheng Wei's back instantly, and she didn't care how many people were paying attention to the two of them at this time, she turned her back suddenly, sideways like a crab, and quickly moved a few steps in the direction of Zheng Shao.

At the same time as Zheng Wei turned around, Li Meiren also moved.

She covered her chest, as if she was extremely uncomfortable, and rushed two steps in the direction of Su Lan and fell down, and when she fell, her head hit Su Lan's stomach.

Su Lan was defenseless at all, she was hit by Li Meiren, screamed, and subconsciously grabbed the people around her, and at this time, the closest to her, except for Zheng Shao, was Rou Concubine.

But Zheng Wei had already rushed in front of Zheng Shao, and she pushed Zheng Shao back all the way, just to avoid Su Lan's hands grabbing everywhere.

Concubine Rou was not so lucky, she was pressed by half of Su Lan's body, screaming and rolling with her.

Blood spread from the place where Rou Concubine fell.
