"It's just that it's a pity for the nobles." Meng Xizhu turned around and continued to stare at himself in the bronze mirror, his eyes were profound: "I can't imagine that today, I would use this method of bitter meat in exchange for a little pity from His Majesty." Morning dew, do you think I'm pathetic? ”

"Don't think too much about the nobles,"

Chenlu persuaded, "The masters of the other palaces, which one of them didn't try his best to win His Majesty's favor?" It is a pity that the nobles have a wonderful plan, and they should be happy. Moreover, His Majesty also promoted the nobles, which is enough to prove that the nobles are very important in His Majesty's heart, isn't it? ”

When Meng Xizhu heard this, he gradually showed his face: Yes, no matter what, if you can achieve your goal, consolidate and even improve your status, that is the top priority.

As for what means are used in the middle, whether it is bright or despicable, what does it matter?

"I didn't expect that my cousin, who had done all the bad things and dragged down my mother's family, could accomplish my good deeds when he died, it's really ironic."

Meng Xizhu said leisurely, and a sly smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

After a pause, she suddenly retracted her expression, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said faintly: "Morning Dew, who else knows about today's events?" ”

Chenlu was frightened by Meng Xizhu's instantaneous cold air, and only felt a chill on the back of his neck.

Of course, she understood what Meng Xizhu meant, and hurriedly replied with an oath: "Except for the nobles and slaves, there is absolutely no third person who knows." ”

"That's good."

Meng Xizhu smiled lowly, seeing that Chenlu was hairy.

"Don't kill me, the slave and maid do their best to do things for the nobles, and don't want to end up in a different place! The slave and maid promise that this matter will never be publicized, and I beg the nobleman to spare the slave and maid's life! ”

She knelt on the ground, clutching the hem of Meng Xizhu's clothes and begging bitterly.

"When did I say I was going to kill you?"

Meng Xizhu chuckled and helped the morning dew up.

"Cherish the ...... of the nobles"

Chenlu looked at her stunned, a heart still hanging in her throat.

"Am I not aware of your tight mouth? To be honest, it is not easy to find someone in the palace who knows the roots and is willing to do things for you wholeheartedly. Without you, I may not be able to find someone more reliable than you in the future. So, as long as you do things well in the future, I promise that I will not treat you badly. ”

As soon as Meng Xizhu's words came out, Chenlu calmed down.

She wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead, and smiled weakly: "Please rest assured, the slave and maid will definitely go to the soup for the noble." ”

Meng Xizhu smiled: "That's right, you and I are also fate, next year you will be enough to leave the palace and return to your hometown to reunite with your family." When the time comes, I will prepare a generous gift for you, so that you can go back in style and find a good family to live a good life. ”

"Thank you for cherishing your nobles, thank you for cherishing your nobles!"

Morning Dew was moved to tears and thanked him repeatedly.

Meng Xizhu sat back in front of the dressing table.

In the bronze mirror, the busy back of the morning dew is reflected.

Meng Xizhu stared at her intently, her mind was complicated, and she couldn't help but let out a hint of sighing.

Because she knew that the few killings that flashed in her heart had finally disappeared.

——All kinds of gloom in the harem have temporarily disappeared because of the arrival of the seven-year-old feast of the eldest princess of Chengping.

Everyone let go of their unhappiness or sorrow and rushed to the birthday banquet.

Just to prepare a dress to be worn on the day of the feast, it made everyone feel broken.

Because everyone knows that the emperor not only has to attend the birthday banquet, but also personally screen and canonize the remaining women of this year.

Although the concubines of each palace are trying their best to dress up, the women of Xiyuan are even more hollow out, just trying to show their best selves in front of the emperor, in order to fly to the branches one day.

And this day has finally arrived.

Located in the center of the harem, the Linde Palace is lit up from the inside to the outside, and it is festive.

Although it is just an ordinary birthday banquet, the eldest princess is from the queen after all, the daughter of the heavenly family, and the emperor loves it very much, so the arrangement of various utensils, diet, etiquette, etc., the Inner Servant Province and Zongzheng Temple do not dare to have the slightest slack.

The auspicious time chosen by the Celestial Supervisor is two quarters of the hour.

Before the hour or three, the people attending the banquet were basically all there.

In the center of the main hall of Linde Palace, on the high platform is the emperor's main seat, and the left and right are the positions of Empress Dowager Ning and Empress Chang.

Below the steps, the harem concubines are arranged in order of status.

Concubine Yuan Shuyi and Shun Zhaoyi sat opposite each other in the first column, then Qin Xiuyi, Yi Chongrong and others, and the last one was naturally the waiter.

The huge Linde Palace has long been crowded, and the air is filled with the aroma of various fat powders.

Xiao Ye and Song Er helped Yu Yuqing walk in through the side door and sat diagonally behind Concubine Yuan Shu: Of course, this is Yinxuan's arrangement.

Yu Yuqing's identity is special, and now she is neither an officially canonized concubine, nor an ordinary palace maid, she has no name and no point, so it is very difficult to arrange a seat.

Strictly speaking, even if there is a seat for her, she should be placed after the place of waiter.

But due to Yinxuan's care, not only did she have the same case as other concubines in front of her, but she could even sit diagonally behind Concubine Yuan Shu and be closest to him.

In this way, even Shun Zhaoyi and Concubine Yuan Shufei are not easy to pick, after all, she did not sit in front of the two.

And she herself was worried about Yinxuan's painstaking arrangement, but later she thought that she could be so close to him, and she would not sit so far away like a lower-ranking concubine, and she couldn't even see the emperor's appearance clearly.

The women in the hall were originally chatting and joking in twos and threes, but when they saw Yu Yuqing coming, they turned their eyes to her, and for a while, Lin De Palace was a lot quieter.

Of course, she knew why everyone was talking about her, but she was also relieved to have Xiao Yezhu'er by her side.

On the side of the main entrance, a fierce gaze suddenly shot at her, although she was not directly captured, but the sharpness made her stiff.

She raised her eyes, and in the distance, Yu Shun Ning was looking at her hatefully, and that look looked like she was going to swallow her alive in her stomach.

The distance between the two was at least several feet, but as soon as Yu Yuqing raised her eyes, she knew that except for Yu Shunning, there would be no second person looking at her like this.

She didn't shy away from it, and smiled generously at Yu Shun, but this smile was full of disdain and disdain.

Yu Shun was so angry that she was originally at the back, and she was already very embarrassed when she compared with others, and when she saw Yu Yuqing deliberately mocking her like this, she almost fainted on the spot.

Rui Xue saw her gritting her teeth, her whole body rising and falling violently, and she hurriedly whispered: "Don't be angry, if someone else sees it, it will be a joke." ”

"I don't think I'm being laughed at by others, but I'll let you laugh at it first, right?"

Yu Shunning immediately transferred all the qi in her stomach to Rui Xue's body.

"The slave doesn't mean this, don't misunderstand the jade selection attendant."

Rui Xue complained bitterly and hurriedly explained.

"Hmph,"

Yu Shun raised his face, "Your mouth, haven't you been taught enough lessons last time?" ”

When Rui Xue heard this, she subconsciously covered her mouth.

Yu Shunning turned her face away and didn't look at her again.

Rui Xue secretly touched the corners of her mouth with her fingers, and the redness, swelling and bruises had not completely subsided.

After the incident in Tai'an Palace, Rui Xue was slapped hard by Yu Shunning, so that she couldn't even sleep that night.

A few people had already looked over here, and when they saw her like this, they all guessed seven or eight points in their hearts.

Ruixue desperately lowered her head, her throat tightening at the thought of her misery.

Rong Wanyu sat opposite Yu Shunning, and when everyone else was whispering to Yu Shunning and Rui Xue, she was the only one who didn't see her, and she didn't even look at it.

Looking around, everyone is enthusiastic, full of red light, and everyone's dress is colorful, so gorgeous.

Among all the people, she is the only one who is so lonely and lonely.

Yan Jieyu was in high spirits, chatting energetically with Hua Jieyu, Su Meiren and others on the left and right.

Rong Wanyu looked at them stupidly, but a tear rolled down uncontrollably.

Originally, she was supposed to sit in front of them, but because of her selfishness and stupidity, she now paid a heavy price.

How difficult is it to climb to the position of Rong Concubine?

But now, she has fallen straight from the clouds, and she has to start all over again.

Her heart tingled again.
