The Mid-Autumn Festival birthday banquet was taken care of by Empress Zheng, but everything was in line with Liqing's heart, although it was not as luxurious as before, but it was also appropriate everywhere, but it also responded to the will of Liqing this year's edict, the harem should be diligent and thrifty, don't spread out and waste.

Diligence and thrift are not Liqing's birthday banquet, but the food and clothing of the harem are slightly reduced, because the Mid-Autumn Festival birthday banquet has set an example, and the reduction in the harem has not attracted the displeasure of the palace concubines, but everything is handled very smoothly, and it is even more satisfying to Liqing.

The flashy years in the palace pass quickly, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it looks like autumn is about to pass away, and recently Liqing has less summons Qin Shujiu, and most of the time she is in the palace alone, and she is also reading books and lifting pens, and she is also comfortable. There are fewer summons from His Majesty, and there is naturally less grace, if this is replaced by others, I don't know what kind of urgency I have to become, but Qin Shujiu looked at it indifferently, and he was not in a hurry for half a minute, but it was so comfortable that he ****, which was really unbearable.

Liqing has not been summoned for many days, and Nanzhi is in a hurry here, but he knows that Qin Shujiu's temperament is useless, and he can only be in a hurry at the moment. is anxious in his heart, deceiving the pink chrysanthemum just sent by the Ministry of Internal Servants, like that, pulling one by one, it also makes Qin Shujiu can't stand it, when he puts down the book in his hand and then looks at it, Qin Shujiu said: "What? As if you were holding a breath in your heart? If you don't feel comfortable in your heart, don't always be angry with other things, look at what that good chrysanthemum can make you look like? It's a waste of the mind of the inner servant. ”

It was this light remark that made Nan Zhi stop his hand movements, and turned to look at Qin Shujiu, Nan Zhi said: "Sister is so interested, can she still care about the pink chrysanthemum sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Since you have such a good interest, your sister should think about it, Your Majesty has not summoned her sister for a few days, isn't her sister in a hurry? ”

"In a hurry?" Puzzled and asked, and then smiled, Qin Shujiu said: "What's the use of this urgency, it's not in vain that you call yourself aggrieved, it's better to be quiet, what should be ours is ours." ”

Such open words are really like the words of a practitioner who has come out of the nunnery. Qin Shujiu was indifferent, but this Nanzhi was empty and anxious, so when he saw this, he said: "Quiet, sister, you are quiet like this, I'm afraid that your grace should also fade." After finishing speaking, seeing that Qin Shujiu didn't listen to it at all, he smiled and continued to study the book. Nanzhi was aggrieved here, and he sighed indignantly and then looked at the curtain and said.

"What are you doing there, and you don't know how to persuade my sister." After saying this, the curtain immediately replied: "Persuade Jieyu? The curtain can't be persuaded to come to this matter, Sister Nanzhi, if you don't have the curtain, you don't have the ability to do this, so don't call the curtain to come to this matter. ”

Nanzhi called the curtain because he had no way. Who knew that the girl was even more dragged out of everything, and there was no intention of helping each other at all, so Nan Zhi bent his stomach even more, when he stretched out his hand, he was unceremoniously pinched, Nan Zhi said angrily: "Sister's heart is enough to make me angry, you are good, the side does not learn to learn and it is not your business, carefully how I punish you." ”

Qin Shujiu had no choice but to vent her resentment on the curtain, but she was wronged by the curtain, but Nanzhi could only beg Qin Shujiu bitterly. But that Qin Shujiu is also heartless. It's addictive to watch, not only does it not mean to help, but it is happy to watch the play on the sidelines, but it makes the curtain regret that she shouldn't help her.

It was when I was addicted to it that I suddenly heard that the maid outside the palace entered the palace and said that Su Yi wanted to see him, so he ordered the two to stop the fight quickly, and then passed Su Yi into the palace. The palace maid withdrew and then Su Yi entered the inner bed, and after entering the palace, Su Yi smiled: "The minister knocked on me and saw Jieyu, Jieyu Wanfu Kang'an." ”

After the ceremony, he asked Qin Shujiu to invite him, and then asked with a chuckle: "What kind of wind is this that blew Xiao Suzi's father-in-law here?" After laughing, Su Yi replied: "My fair lady really likes to laugh, what is this not windy." but to elevate the ministers. ”

That is, after saying that, he immediately bowed again, Su Yi also had a habitual smile on his face, seeing him say this, Qin Shujiu also smiled back, and then glanced at a few attendants behind him, Fang Shi said: "Xiao Suzi's father-in-law is now a celebrity in front of the palace. Who in the palace doesn't know that Father-in-law Yu understands the meaning of carrying him, and if he acts in this palace for a long time, he will not have to fight his father-in-law everywhere, so that there is no intention of lifting. ”

After laughing, he immediately glanced at Nanzhi, and Nanzhi, who knew it, stepped forward and immediately took out a purse from his sleeve and put it in Su Yi's hand. It was to put the purse into Su Yi's palm, and the smile on Su Yi's face became stronger at the moment, and he looked back at Su Yi with a smile and said.

"My fair lady loves to laugh more and more, this is not carried out. It is enough for the minister to know that he has done his part. After these words, he saw Qin Shujiu nodding, and then asked: "Since it is a matter of duty, I don't know what happened to Xiao Suzi's father-in-law when he entered the Zhong Broken Palace?" ”

When Qin Shujiu asked Su Yi like this, he remembered that he hadn't done anything yet, so he smiled and said: "Look at the minister's memory, every time I talk to Jieyu, I am happy, but I forget the business." After speaking, he looked behind him, and then said sharply: "Don't offer it yet." It was a few steps before the inner service behind him that Su Yi replied with a smile: "Isn't it time for the palaces to issue the silver and the share of the rules again, and the minister sent it to Jieyu. ”

"Examples of silver and portions." After hearing this, he was slightly surprised, and after being stunned, Qin Shujiu looked at Su Yi and then said: "Isn't it just that the palace has sent the people below to distribute the silver, why bother Xiao Suzi's father-in-law to do it." After asking, Su Yi said with a smile: "I originally sent the people below to do it, but this inner servant was busy when he came in, but he didn't have this leisure." Qin Shujiu couldn't understand what he said, so he was confused and then asked.

"The Inner Servant Province can't spare time, the more I talk about this, the more I don't understand, what is the important matter when I come to the palace?" After asking, Su Yi replied: "If you want to say that it is important, it is also important, this is not that Your Majesty has won a newcomer, it is a strong favor, and the people of the Inner Servant Province are all looking at the new Baolin at this time, so that they can't spare much time." ”

After the words, Qin Shujiu was slightly puzzled in his heart, that is, Nanzhi and Curtain were also confused on their faces, and now that the draft period has not yet arrived, I have not heard of the ministers in the court presenting beauties, so there is anything she doesn't know about this court? This newcomer Baolin didn't understand when he called Qin Shujiu. Thinking in his heart, after thinking about it, Qin Shujiu smiled and asked, "Your Majesty's newly acquired Baolin?" I haven't heard of this thing, but I don't know which important minister in the court dedicated the beauty? As soon as the smile fell, I saw Su Yi reply.

"This is not a beauty presented by the ministers of the court, you know the character of Your Majesty, Jieyu, you have always been better than a beauty, if this thing of dedicating a beauty is not good and does not say that it is not possible to please the Sacred Heart of His Majesty, maybe it will also provoke the anger of Long Yan." It was these words that Qin Shujiu nodded, and then said: "Father-in-law Xiao Suzi is to the point. His Majesty is the most diligent and loves the people, and this former dynasty should be a place to discuss politics for the country, if it is mixed with this rouge powder, His Majesty will indeed be angry. It is clear that it should be done, but it should be followed and I don't understand it, and I can only ask it again at the moment.

After asking, I saw Su Yi smiling. Then he said: "A smart person like Jieyu can't guess this time, this time the new Baolin is dedicated to the virtuous concubine." ”

"Concubine Xian?" I had already guessed the harem in my heart, but I couldn't guess that it was Concubine Xian who was offering a beauty, because I heard that I was amazed in my heart, and after being stunned, Qin Shujiu replied in detail and asked: "Concubine Xian Niangniang presented a beauty?" Even if he asked Qin Shujiu again, there were still some doubts in his words. It was this doubt that Su Yi got the same reply, and Su Yi replied with a chin of his head.

"It's the virtuous concubine Niangniang, some time ago, the virtuous concubine Niangniang invited her majesty to the greenhouse hall, saying that she rehearsed a few new dances for her majesty, and her majesty came back after the banquet with a beauty, and at that time she was sealed Baolin. To tell the truth, the person is also very beautiful, the pink face and blush skin are like clotted fat, and a pair of smiling and crooked eyebrows and eyes seem to be able to overflow water, which makes people can't help but want to take a few more looks. ”

Thinking that person is really a rare beauty, if it weren't for Su Yi, who looked at all kinds of beauties in the harem, he wouldn't praise him like this. After hearing Su Yi's praise, he was also interested in this new Baolin Qin Shujiu, so he asked: "Listening to Xiao Suzi's father-in-law say this, I am really a rare beauty, so that I am so curious that I really want to see the beauty." I just don't know what the identity of this new Baolin is? But I got the recommendation of the virtuous concubine? After the words were asked, Su Yi smiled, shook his head, and then said.

"If you want to say that the newly sealed He Baolin has no high background, he is just a dancing girl found by the virtuous concubine, and he is not as good as the concubines of the palaces in terms of his background. It's just that people are very beautiful and dance very well, so they won the admiration of the virtuous concubine Niangniang, and they were introduced to His Majesty. ”

Su Yi is the one who serves in front of the palace. He should be clear about what happened in front of this palace, and since he said so, He Baolin is just an ordinary dancing girl. When he smelled it, he finally had a smile on his face, and Qin Shujiu said with a smile: "Concubine Xian Niangniang is really a person with a heart, but she is worried that we are not serving well, and I am looking for a beautiful woman for Your Majesty." It is also a piece of service for His Majesty to relieve his worries. ”

After smiling, Su Yi also said: "None of the concubines in this palace don't remember their majesty, and they all put the matter of their majesty in their hearts, and the virtuous concubine is also one step ahead." After all, there are few concubines in the harem, and the beautiful woman who has dedicated her heart wants to come to the Queen Mother to smell it, and it is also gratifying, after all, the Queen Mother is also thinking about it. ”

"In this way, Concubine Xian is even more hearted." Knowing this, he nodded his head, but this joke made Su Yi say a few more words, so that he was delayed for a long time. also suddenly remembered that he had been delayed for a long time, Su Yi immediately saluted and said: "The minister still has a lot of things in his hands, so he won't talk more about Jieyu, and the minister will retire first." After the ceremony, Qin Shujiu replied: "Since my father-in-law still has an errand in his hands, let's go and get busy first, so as not to delay when I get it." After smiling, he ordered the curtain to send Su Yi out of the palace, and it was only after Su Yi and the attendants retreated that Qin Shujiu's face condensed slightly.

Her face was a lot more solemn, and Nan Zhi on the side was not much better, so she stepped forward and said: "No wonder the number of times Your Majesty has summoned her sister a little less recently, it was originally shared by this newly acquired He Baolin, but I don't know what kind of national color and natural fragrance this He Baolin is, and it is actually called His Majesty's favor to her." ”

After the words fell, Qin Shujiu replied lightly: "The person who can be praised like Xiao Suzi's father-in-law must not be a vulgar person, and the person personally recommended by Concubine Xian, do you think it can be an ordinary beauty?" ”

After laughing, Nanzhi said: "I don't know what kind of calculation the concubine Hou Xian made to present the beauty, could it be that she wanted to use that person to share the favor with her sister?" Or is it because of ......" After a pause, Nanzhi asked in a suppressed voice: "Or Concubine Hou Xian has already noticed something, that is, she wants to bring the people around her to consolidate the power of her harem and prevent her sister from continuing to sit big and harm something." ”

This low-pressure remark made Qin Shujiu smile, raised his head to meet Nanzhi's inquiring eyes, Qin Shujiu nodded and said: "You girl is to the point this time, but she can also see clearly, Concubine Hou Xian is busy offering beauties, I am afraid that it is because of both." Although my grace is not the favor of the six palaces, it is also one or two in the palace that is not inferior to Concubine Hou Xian, according to His Majesty's thoughts on me, over time, this grace will be far better than her. After all, this age is in front of me, I am younger than her after all, and my wrist is not inferior to her, and it is common for her to be uneasy and wary. She can't make me more and more dominant in the palace, not to mention that my father can now become more and more powerful in the previous dynasty, but the auxiliary general has not made any more meritorious service in terms of merit, and these two places are enough to make her start to be jealous of me. Dividing my favor is only the first step, and there will be more to come. ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Nan Zhi, his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, Qin Shujiu still laughed, that is, Nan Zhi's eyes were already worried, his face was deep and thoughtful for a while, Nan Zhi said: "It seems that this will be more important for Concubine Hou Xian in the future, and I invited my sister into the greenhouse hall to take the opportunity to embarrass her, and now I am offering a beauty, but I really see my sister as a thorn in my eye." Sister, in the future, you can be very careful in this palace, this shot shot the first bird, and now according to my sister's grace, I am afraid that it is not only Concubine Hou Xian, but also Concubine Lide. ”

Thinking of Concubine Lide, Nanzhi woke up by the way, but Concubine Lide's Qin Shujiu didn't realize that she needed to keep too much heart, so she smelled Nanzhi's advice and said, "Don't guard against Concubine Lide for the time being." After that, Nanzhi asked, "Why?" After asking, Qin Shujiu replied.

"No, just because Concubine Hou Xian looks at me unpleasantly, Concubine Lide is arrogant, even if she doesn't like me, she will definitely not join forces with Concubine Hou Xian, than me, she can look at Concubine Hou Xian more unpleasantly. To tell the truth, if I am still the humble and obedient person who is in peace and obeys, and do the things in this palace in a proper manner, according to my current grace, Concubine Lide will definitely not be able to keep me. But now Concubine Hou Xian and I are also torn apart, and if the two fight each other, whoever loses in the end is happy for Concubine Lide, and she will not spoil this rare show. As for the queen......"

is to mention the queen, Qin Shujiu was slightly paused and then said: "The queen is the most impartial and reasonable, and besides, the mother has also been in the palace for many years, how many wrists in this palace have not been seen by the mother, that is, don't mistake the country and hurt the majesty Xià broke the palace rules, the mother is not so idle to be jealous of the wind in this palace." ”

The women in this palace are all like to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, the more powerful the others fight, the more happy their hearts are, it is best for each other to live and die, and finally she will sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

According to Qin Shujiu, even if he tore the skin with Concubine Hou Xian, he would make the other few people silent, even if he thought about the palace intelligence situation, he felt very reasonable, and his heart was tentative. It's just that Dingruo remembered He Baolin again, and couldn't help but say: "Even if my sister is reasonable, but He Baolin has now taken away most of the favor in the palace, He Baolin is the person who waits for Concubine Xian, which is really unfavorable to us." It would be even worse if this grace did not die and would be worse in the future. ”

Worried, Nan Zhi opened his mouth and said, Qin Shujiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, what you are worried about will not happen." The firm reply made Nan Zhi feel a little strange, so he asked instead, and after asking, Qin Shujiu sneered: "Everyone in this palace may send women to His Majesty's dragon couch, but it is impossible for Concubine Lide and Concubine Hou Xian alone." Just look at it, then He Baolin's scenery won't be long long, and the most intolerant of her in this palace is Concubine Hou Xian. (To be continued.) )
