Chapter VII: Collusion

Qin Ge quickly added a small bowl of snow sugar porridge to Zangjiao: "This is the case in the palace, the holy ladies and sisters want to give one to ten, and they have to find ways to pick up all kinds of high-quality novelty and good things to pay homage." Those who have not been able to see the saint for many years, if they don't say anything about it, they will be bullied even if they are lowered.

In summer, use ice and winter to take charcoal, if the year is fully prepared, you can still get a little, if the weather is not good, the palace is not complete, you have to stay up. This is the normal feeling of stepping on high and low, Jieyu slowly got used to it. ”

Speaking of this, Qiulan suddenly remembered: "What Deacon Qin said is that I remembered that I saw Cao Baolin when I passed by in Qihuaxuan yesterday. Ouch, the flowers on my face are already broken, and I heard that it was left behind by the fight with Lin Cairen who went.

Now there is no one to take care of the messy clothes, and a person muttering in the Qihua Xuan looks like he is crazy. Later, he was kicked out by the temple people who took care of the garden. A good Beijing official's daughter, just like that, fell into the land. ”

Zang Jiao put down the spoon and raised her eyes to look at Qiu Lan: "You said Cao Baolin seems crazy?" The palace where she lives is quite remote, and now this kind of scene should only be raised in the palace, and she ran to Qihuaxuan out of thin air to do something. ”

Qiulan blinked her apricot eyes: "Then the slave doesn't know, the slave should be looking for something." Zangjiao frowned two faint eyebrows and thought for a while, as if there were some clues in her mind but she couldn't find them.

She only knew that the Criminal Department had inquired about Lin Yuzhen's quarrel with Cao Caidie before her death, but it had nothing to do with killing Yuzhen. However, Cao Caidie also suffered Lin Yuzhen's loss, her face was broken, and she had no hope of inheriting her grace from then on, so she could only die in the palace with a white head.

Shaking his head, he couldn't think of why, so he had to slowly drink the porridge soup and ask Qin Ge: "Yesterday, the official family gave Mo Cairen, no, now Sister Mo should be called Jing Meiren." I gave Jing Mei a place to live in the side hall of our palace, but do you know when to move? The side hall has been uninhabited for a long time and is a little cold, so a few people should be cleaned up. ”

"Jieyu rest assured, the slave has already instructed Ji Xiang'er to take Xiao Quan to clean up the dust and dirt in the courtyard, and Tao'er Xing'er will wipe the inside and outside very cleanly, and she can wait for Jingmei to move in at any time."

Zang Jiao knew that Qin Ge had always been proper and thoughtful, and nodded with a smile to express reassurance, and her mind gradually turned to Cao Caidie's inexplicable appearance in Qihuaxuan.

In a quiet room, in the agarwood niche, there is a statue of Guanyin with kind eyebrows and kind eyes and a young child. The Empress Dowager Ning An was dressed in navy blue roving and wide sea blue, kneeling on the futon with a rosary in her hand, closing her eyes and muttering Buddhist scriptures, and the palace ordered the green branch to kneel not far behind the Queen Mother and follow the chanting.

Half a day, the incense stick burned out and stopped. Green Zhi stepped forward and hurriedly helped the Empress Dowager Ning'an, who had been kneeling for a long time and her body was stiff, to get up and sit on the plain wood meditation chair on the side, pour a warm tea and hand it to the Empress Dowager.

Empress Dowager Ning An put down the rosary in her hand, took a shallow sip of tea, and said lightly with a hint of tiredness on her soft white face: "It is rumored that the official family in the palace is very fond of a talented person who has not yet slept in the palace, not only to live alone in the palace but also to be promoted to Jieyu, have you heard of this?" ”

The green branch gently kneaded the queen mother's sour legs and responded: "It is the talented person who rescued He An Diji, a few days ago, the official family entertained the envoy of Baishan at the banquet and overwhelmed the county lord from Baishan, and the official family was very happy, and he was promoted to Jieyu in public." There is also a beautiful woman along with her. ”

"It turns out that it's this woman again, how can the mourning family think that this woman is not very responsible. It seems that everything that has been done is a good thing, one time the Five Poisons Banquet saved Yongfu, and another time the banquet sang and danced to overwhelm the White Mountain Barbarians. The daughter's family is so ostentatious, and when the mourning family was the queen, there was no such woman in the palace who came out repeatedly.

The Queen Mother's voice was tinged with displeasure: "It is also the rule that the queen is not in good health and can't support the rules of the harem, so everything is left to Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu." It's okay to be a virtuous concubine, Concubine Shu is a useless one, she leans on Chang Tai'er all day long, and she is so coquettish and crazy that she has no appearance, and the good grandchildren of the mourning family have been taught bad by her.

This harem concubine has no heirs for a long time, and she has a group of foxy idlers. The mourning family is old, and it is really upsetting to worry about such things. It's not a way to do this in the long run, you help the mourning family to think about it, and there is anyone in this harem who can handle some palace affairs properly. ”

Lu Zhi hung his head and carefully kneaded the lower legs of the Queen Mother, and his eyes rolled slightly: "This maid is not easy to say, except for a few new nobles in the palace, there are only nine old people in the concubine position." Which one does the Queen Mother think is better? ”

The Queen Mother frowned in disgust: "The Song family is frivolous, and her father often holds the court hostage by holding the military power by virtue of his support, which is annoying. Fang Wanyi is not to mention it, hanging a wooden face all day long. Several other mourners are also lazy, and they can't say whether they are good or bad. ”

Lu Zhi smiled slightly: "The maid feels that Huang Xiuyi, Li Wanyi and others have always been quiet and cautious, Wu Xiuyi is the daughter of a military general, and she has more than enough scheming. However, Lan Zhaoyi, who is newly promoted, is gentle and kind, and her actions are thoughtful and proper. ”

The Queen Mother half-opened her eyes and thought for a while: "But the daughter of Shen Caishen who received a million military salaries? The mourning family thought that she was from a merchant that day, and the last time I saw her behaving and talking in the mourning family, it was not bad. In this case, on that day, call the mourning family to examine it again.

By the way, what kind of Jue Jieyu is this, I also called over, and the mourning family wants to see what kind of character it is. By the way, pass on the gynecology holy hand of the Tai Hospital, if it is a good birth, it is enough, if it is weak and charming, there is no need to stay. ”

"Yes, the servant wrote it down." The corners of the green branch's lips hooked slightly, and he smiled slightly, and continued to rub his legs and feet with the Queen Mother to mention the eldest prince Chang Tailai, leading the Queen Mother to talk about the topic of joy.

"Niangniang, the slave of the green branch deacon has been brought, and the slave has retired." The chamberlain in blue had a white round face, bowed his head and said goodbye.

"Wait." Lan Zhaoyi walked up to the internal official: "The young eunuch has worked hard, and she has also worked hard to tell Deacon Green that her nephew's affairs have been arranged, just rest assured." The one hundred taels of silver bills were taken by the young eunuch to drink tea. ”

Cai Xi'er's eyes lit up, she took the silver ticket with both hands, kowtowed a few times, and withdrew with a happy face. Lan Zhaoyi watched him exit the hall gate, sneered, took the silk handkerchief from Luo Xia's handkerchief, wiped his hands, and threw it to the ground, his face full of disgust.

"Why should the mother deal with such people in person, the slave maid sent him away." Luo Xia looked at the ice silk silk handkerchief on the ground worth 100 gold, showing a touch of distress in her eyes, and ordered someone to pick it up.

Lan Zhaoyi raised her eyebrows and looked at Luo Xia, her crescent-like eyes seemed to smile: "What do you know, these castrated slaves, in addition to being greedy for money, they want a little face." Outside the palace and inside the palace don't treat them as people, the palace treats them kindly, and gives them more silver, and they will do things for the palace with all their hearts.

This way of grasping people's hearts, there is no better than my father, I am my father's daughter, so naturally I have to learn more. We are thriving in this palace, and everyone will use it. ”

Luo Xia followed Lan Zhaoyi's side step by step and said with a smile: "The master and the mother are both born with great power, and the slave and maid have followed the mother for many years, and they have only learned one or two furs, which is really ashamed." ”

Lan Zhaoyi showed a smug smile: "You, I haven't been a good student since I was a child, and this palace likes your honesty, you heard what Lu Qi brought, and our chance is coming." ”
