After sitting down, Nan Zhi entered the house and ordered the curtain to make a cup of tea for Master Weng, while Qin Shujiu looked at Master Weng and said, "The current sun is becoming more and more poisonous, why don't you stay in your palace on this hot day, but come to us?" I am not afraid to let the heat make His Majesty worried. Said with concern, Qin Shujiu's words of concern were not a lot, but he asked Master Weng to make amends and said.

"Sister Miao is worried that it is my sister or not, but Sister Fang Cai also said that staying in the palace all day long will inevitably feel that people are bored, it is better to go to my sister to talk here, but it can relieve the summer boredom. Sister, I live alone in Languan Palace, not like my sister and two people in a palace on weekdays don't even have a person who can talk, this has been boring for a long time, but I feel more and more annoyed, so I can only go to my sister to ask for a cup of tea, my sister should not laugh at my sister uninvited, annoying. said such a joke, and there was a bit of ridicule in his words.

Although the ridicule was ridiculous, Qin Shujiu still replied with a straight face: "What nonsense, how can Sister Su and I dislike you." After saying this, Su Die also responded on the side: "That is, they are all sisters who come and go, and you still need to say hello, if you don't feel tired in the future, you will come and walk from time to time, and there are few people in the palace who can talk, and I am almost bored." ”

There are many rules in the palace, even if it has been almost a year in the palace, Su Die still hasn't adapted, and now I feel very bored when I think about it like this, and the words are also in exchange for another reminder from Qin Shujiu, but it makes Su Die can't stand it and looks at Master Weng and says: "Look at you, look at it, this is why I want you to come often, I don't know where so much reason this sparse wine comes from, she is always cautious and careful on weekdays, and her sisters sometimes make her nervous when they say something." You see, I won't dare to talk to her anymore, I'm afraid that one day I will make her die of trivialities. ”

Seeing Su Die complaining about Qin Shujiu like this, Master Weng was busy seeking justice for Qin Shujiu, looked at Su Die and said: "Sister Su's words are not right, my sister reminded me a hundred times because I was worried about you, otherwise if it were someone else, my sister would not be so worried about trivialities." ”

The words were said for Qin Shujiu, but Qin Shujiu couldn't help but look at Master Weng when he heard it, but he couldn't help but think. After thinking slightly, he smiled and said: "Sister, look, even the teacher can see that I am for your good, you still think I talk too much every day, and I won't talk too much in the future." Pretending to be displeased, these words made Su Die laugh even more, and pointed directly at her and said: "Look at her, I haven't seen her so stingy usually, but today she has a temper." If Your Majesty sees this, I think Your Majesty will say that you are virtuous and humble in the future. ”

As soon as the words came out, even this Weng Shishi was amused, but Qin Shujiu himself couldn't help but purse his lips, and was laughing and laughing, and there was a waiter outside the palace, this time he was so anxious that people didn't open their mouths Su Die asked, "Why are you so anxious?" After Su Die asked the waiter, he said: "Back to Jieyu's words, there was a word from Penglai Hall just now, saying that the concubine Niangniang summoned Jieyu beauty to Penglai Palace. ”

"Concubine Zheng?" This Zheng Guifei's sudden summons made people think about it, and Su Die was puzzled at the moment, and Qin Shujiu didn't have a score in his heart. Looking at the attendant who reported the report, Qin Shujiu asked, "Who came to pass on the news?" The waiter replied: "If you return to the beauty, it is the Huang Gonggong beside the noble concubine." ”

"Grandpa Huang?" He recited a sentence silently, and then Qin Shujiu said: "This Huang Gonggong came to pass on the decree in person, if there is anything important to come to the concubine Niangniang, sister, it is more appropriate for us to go quickly, so as not to ask the concubine Niangniang to wait for a while, which is not good." ”

Although I don't know what happened to Zheng Guifei's summons this time, but this concubine's summons is also indispensable, Su Die nodded at the moment, nodded The two of them were getting up, but they heard the waiter say: "Just now, after Huang Gonggong finished the summons, he seemed to hear Huang Gonggong say that he was going to Languan Palace, and he returned to Huang Gonggong Weng Cairen was in the palace, and Huang Gonggong ordered Miscellaneous to say that Guifei Niangniang also summoned Weng Cairen. ”

"The concubine also summoned me?" This can make Master Weng himself feel surprised, after all, this Concubine Zheng has never summoned her, today I was a little flattered to hear this called Master Weng, and the people also got up at the moment but some couldn't come back to their senses.

summoned her and Su Die, Qin Shujiu can still understand to some extent, after all, Concubine Zheng Guifei also summoned the two of them, but it was the first time that Master Weng had encountered it, although Qin Shujiu was also looking for it in his heart, but he still said: "It's a good thing that Concubine Guijiu summoned her, my sister shouldn't hurry up and freshen up so that she can go with us." ”

Qin Shujiu reminded Master Weng that he came back to his senses, and then hurriedly responded.

After grooming with all their hearts, the three of them went to Penglai Hall to listen to the call, Zheng Guifei not only summoned the three of them this time, but also called a lot of the rest of the concubines in the palace, among the four concubines, the virtuous concubine, the nine concubines summoned Zhaoyi and Zhaorong, and everyone below Jieyu came. It's really rare to see all of them, and Qin Shujiu looked at all the people silently. After knocking on Concubine Zheng Guifei and Concubine Xian, she got up at the signal of Concubine Zheng and then sat down.

This person is also complete, Zheng Guifei, who was sitting on the right seat, swept away the concubines sitting under the hall, and only after that sweep did she say: "This palace has summoned all the concubines to come today, and everyone is also confused in their hearts." As soon as these words came out, the concubines shouted in unison: "Niangniang summoned the concubines to listen to the teachings, and they didn't dare to be confused." After the words fell in unison, Concubine Zheng nodded and then said: "It is common to be confused, since they have all come, the palace will not sell the guanzi, and the palace will summon the sisters today for the Xu family." ”

As soon as these words came out of the palace, they whispered, Xu Luoxin's matter has long been known in the palace, and now Zheng Guifei's mention of this can't help but make people wonder in their hearts, and a few people whisper that it is not less. Seeing that some of the concubines were already whispering there, Concubine Zheng suddenly said sharply: "The Xu family despises the harem and actually poisons the palace concubines because of their own selfish desires. ”

The sudden sharp voice made the whispering concubines busy collecting their own whispers, and immediately responded in unison: "The concubines are known." ”

After this unison fell, Lai Zhaoyi bowed his head and said: "Xu's heart is already vicious, and poisoning the concubines is even more deserving. Although His Majesty saw the affection, the concubines in the Xu family's palace all reprimanded him for his snake heart, and he must have kept this matter in mind and always knocked himself out. ”

Lai Zhaoyi's words were not just said for herself, but even all the concubines present helped to express their attitude, and the concubines were all catering at the moment, and Na Youzhaorong also slightly hooked her lips and said indifferently: "That Xu is just an accidental person, the sisters in the palace are all in the same heart, and everyone serves His Majesty together, I don't think anyone is hiding that malicious heart." Saying this, he glanced at the rest of the people sitting in the lower seat, and Yu Zhaorong said.

Her words Zheng Guifei also nodded in approval, but the approval is recognized, but the words of the purge of the palace rules still have to be said. The complexion did not relax for half a minute, and Concubine Zheng said: "The hearts of all the sisters are united, and it is not unaware of this palace to serve Your Majesty wholeheartedly, but there are inevitably one or two people in this huge harem who have a malicious heart like the Xu family." Your Majesty and the Empress were extremely angry because of this incident, especially the Empress made a decree that the harem should be cleaned up, lest the harem also be miserable outside the palace, but it was a mistake for my big Jiang country. ”

The queen's decree must be obeyed by all the concubines in the palace, and the concubines responded even more at the moment, and after the response, Concubine Zheng Guifei said: "The queen was going to experience the purge of the harem, but the queen was not well and was really tired, so she issued an order to let the palace take care of the affairs of the harem." In the future, if such a bad thing is discovered in this palace, this palace will be severely punished and will not tolerate adultery. The last words were ruthless, and they also let the concubines know the decision and thoughts of this Zheng Guifei, and they didn't dare to say a word at the moment.

The stability of the harem is related to the momentum of the previous dynasty, so of course that kind of thing cannot be reproduced, it is inevitable that the ruthlessness of the time is inevitable, and Zheng Guifei's words also made the concubines remember. After finishing speaking, he no longer suppressed that face, and after his face eased slightly, Zheng Guifei suddenly looked at Qin Shujiu and said.

"Xu's incident also shocked my fair beauties."

After Zheng Guifei said this, Qin Shujiu hurriedly got up, and then bowed and said: "Thank you for your concern, the concubine is fine, and it is thanks to Your Majesty's blessing that she avoided the disaster." ”

"Although it is Your Majesty's blessing, but it is also a beautiful woman, fortunately, I avoided this matter, otherwise it would be more than lucky." As soon as Concubine Zheng Guifei's sigh was finished, she heard Min Jieyu say: "By the way, I seem to have heard someone in the palace say that this time the Xu family is vicious, and there are people in the palace who have poisoned the poison." If this is not for the blessing of my fair beauty, if it is really stained with that poison, it is really hard for people to think about it. ”

said with some fear, no matter who thought of such a thing, they felt a little frightened in their hearts, and Wang Meiren immediately responded: "Someone was poisoned, how strong should that poison be?" Zhang Meiren said: "I heard that it is a crisp cake made of the fruit of the poppy, but the poppy is not a flower planted in the imperial garden, how can it be poisonous?" ”

Poppy beauty, the imperial garden can be seen occasionally, because she was born delicately Zhang Meiren is still loved, and it turned out that this matter was so shocking that it was the fear of the flower rising, which was mentioned. She originally wanted to talk about it, but she never thought that Chen Shuyi actually got up, then bowed down and said: "The concubine is guilty, I hope the concubine will be punished." ”

The inexplicable words made all the concubines feel surprised, and immediately looked at Meng Jieyu, Zheng Guifei asked, "What is Meng Jieyu's crime?" Chen Shuyi knelt down and said: "The poison of the poppy beauty is that the concubine told the Xu family that the concubine was guilty. These words made people shout lightly, and immediately looked at Chen Shuyi and couldn't believe it, and Zheng Guifei was also confused, although she was puzzled, she was not as quiet as the rest of the concubines, but looked at Chen Shuyi and said.

"What does that mean?"

"Hui Niangniang, one day ago, the concubine saw Xu's reward for poppies in the imperial garden, so she told Xu's that poppies were poisonous, thinking that it was because of the concubine's words that Xu's heart almost hurt my sister, and I hope that the concubine Niangniang will be guilty."

At first, I thought that Chen Shuyi had something to do with this matter, but I thought it was like this, and immediately Zheng Guifei said: "Your persuasion is also kind, it is the Xu family who has a bad idea and can't complain about you, get up." Zheng Guifei is also sensible, even if Chen Shuyi's crime was exempted and she got up, and Chen Shuyi also thanked Zheng Guifei and said to Qin Shujiu: "It's also my sister who is blessed with kindness and has more of this calamity, and I hope my sister won't blame my sister for this." ”

Such words were annoying to Qin Shujiu, and he immediately got up to return the salute, Qin Shujiu said: "Sister is serious, how can I blame my sister for this matter, my sister is tormented by saying this." ”

"If my sister doesn't blame my sister, it would be fine." Laughing back, Chen Shuyi smiled lightly, these two people are also polite people, they came and went to reply a few words, and they talked to each other but heard the Hou Xian Concubine say: "My fair beauty is really a lucky person, Fang Cai Mengjieyu also said, that Yu beauty is highly poisonous, and if you want to come to your mouth, you really have to confess your life, if it is not for the coincidence that the palace people have suffered for it, I am afraid that my fair beauty will be in danger." However, my fair lady is the person on the tip of His Majesty's heart, His Majesty is very gracious, and often enters the Yanying Palace to accompany His Majesty. Even if the Xu family really wants to come to the beautiful woman, they will be blessed by God, and I am afraid that they will not be hurt. ”

Saying this, it sounds good, but the smile on Concubine Hou Xian's face always makes people feel that it has a bit of a sident meaning, and immediately Qin Shujiu hurriedly bowed and said: "Niangniang is in love, how can the grace of the concubine be regarded as the best among this concubine, but His Majesty summoned it by chance." Not like Niangniang, Your Majesty often remembers, Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, but three times out of ten times in this harem will go to Niangniang's greenhouse hall to accompany Niangniang to dine, this move is enough to know that Niangniang is not comparable to concubines in His Majesty's heart, Niangniang and Guifei Niangniang are the meat on the tip of His Majesty's heart. ”

In the harem, His Majesty can be gracious, but grace must not be better than the superior lady, otherwise if you are careful about your side, something may happen at any time. However, what did Concubine Hou Xian say, Qin Shujiu was humble, and he didn't dare to be pampered and arrogant, and this remark also made Concubine Hou Xian feel comfortable when she heard it, and she also laughed, but she glanced at Qin Shujiu with the corner of her eye, and didn't speak.

Concubine Hou's words made Qin Shujiu busy kneeling down to answer, but Concubine Zheng didn't wait to kneel for too long after seeing it, and said: "Sister Concubine Xian just said it in passing, even if my fair lady replied, she didn't have to kneel, she got up and spoke." ”

"The concubine obeys." After that, Qin Shujiu got up, and then returned to his seat, Min Jieyu, who was sitting there, got up, first bowed and then said: "Niangniang, Princess Leping is still young and can't leave the concubine for a long time, and the concubine has been out for a long time, so she will bow down first." After speaking, she didn't get up in a hurry, and Concubine Zheng nodded after hearing this.

"Princess Leping is still young, and she really can't leave her biological mother for a long time, so Min Jieyu will retire."

"Thank you for the concubine, the virtuous concubine, and the concubine." After saying that, Min Jieyu retreated first, and Concubine Zheng also said: "Today, the concubines were summoned by the queen's decree because of the Xu family's affairs, and now the concubines and the palace have listened to the queen's teachings, so they will disperse." ”

Since Concubine Zheng Guifei said that she was gone, the concubines responded, and only then did they retreat and leave.
