'In this palace, time flies, soon there will be a general election, enter the Zihua Gate, as if last night, just 20 days to get the blessing of the noble concubine, the same, the concubine in the picture is still lingering, I and her are strangers, how to stand under a roof, is it a blessing or a curse? Qi Zheng sat on a stone bench in the garden, contemplating.

The show girls lived in this Chuhui Palace for 30 days, learned the etiquette rules in the palace, waited for the painter to draw their appearance, and gave the transaction to the emperor for preview, and then on the day of the election, the real face of the king, their fate was also predetermined, it was the master or the slave, just by the emperor's words.

Wen Yue walked to Qizheng's side, leaned over to look at the stunned Qizheng, and said with a smile: "What is my sister thinking?" ”

Qi Zheng came back to his senses and said slightly: "It's okay, I just feel that time flies so fast, and the general election is coming." ”

Wen Yue stepped aside, put her hand on the table and supported her head, looking into the distance: "Yes, the painter is going to paint a portrait today." Suddenly, he put down his hand again and looked at Qizheng with a smile: "Sister, it's still early, the painter is afraid that he will come back later, and my aunt has nothing to say today, so there will be a general election, or let's go see Yunqing now." ”

Qizheng thought for a while and nodded: "It's okay, it's been a while since she had an accident, I don't know if she's doing well, but the palace is so big, we don't know where the Huanshang Bureau is, how to get there." Wen Yue frowned and said, "That's the same, it's better to find someone to ask first." ”

"The two little lords are auspicious." Bizhu's voice came.

Qizheng looked back curiously and saw Bizhu standing behind her, holding a plate in her hand, owing.

"Why is Sister Bizhu here, is there any order from the concubine Niangniang?" Qi Zheng laughed.

Bizhu put the plate in his hand on the stone table: "That's the case, the master knows that the painter will paint portraits for the little masters today, and I expect that the little masters didn't bring any jewelry when they entered the palace, so they specially selected four kinds of headdresses and asked the slaves to send them, so that the little masters could choose. ”

Qi Zheng looked at the jewelry on the plate, very exquisite, Qi Zheng picked up a hollow inlaid with gold-edged hosta, the hairpin was inlaid with a pearl in the center, which looked fresh and refined, and also reminded Qi Zheng of the hollow butterfly hairpin she wore during the primary election, which was also decorated with a bead. "Little master, this is called 'gold and jade embellished with snow' is a rare treasure in the world, that pearl is like a grain of snow embellished on the jade, the mother is very fond of it on weekdays, and today it is given to the little master, it can be seen that the mother is quite important to the little masters, and I hope that the little master will not live up to the expectations of the master." Bizhu laughed.

Qi Zheng bowed slightly: "The concubine Niangniang treats us well, this kindness will be remembered by us, and I will share the worries of the mother in the future." After that, he looked at the gold and jade snow in his hand, and said with a smile: "This hairpin has such an elegant name, then I want this one." ”

Wen Yue was a little pleased, but she didn't know which one to choose, so she frowned and said: "The concubine is so gracious, these hairpins look exquisite, so I don't know which one to want." ”

"Of course Sister Hua is thoughtful, in order to win people's hearts, she even gave away her beloved hairpin, which really makes Bengong sigh to herself."

The voice came, Qizheng turned her eyes and saw that it was Concubine Yun, and Bizhu was busy giving gifts: "See Concubine Yun." Qi Zheng put the hairpin on the plate and bent down with Wen Yue.

Concubine Yun didn't respond, slowly walked to the stone table, swept the four hairpins on the plate, picked up which gold and jade embellished snow, and said with a smile: "The concubine is generous, this hairpin, this hairpin, this palace is not mistaken, it should be rewarded by the emperor, when the Japanese palace is also present, it makes the palace envious, and now it is so easy to give away, it seems that the four little masters should be extremely important to Concubine Hua." Turning his eyes to Qi Zheng, he said lightly: "Raise your head, let this palace see how beautiful and fragrant it is, and let the concubine Niangniang be willing to cut her love." ”

Qi Zheng and Wen Yue slowly raised their heads, Concubine Yun looked at Wen Yue, and raised the corners of her mouth: "Sure enough, it is the appearance of a country and a city, okay, you guys get up." ”

Qizheng and Wen Yue stood up, and Bizhu stood aside with her head bowed.

"Bizhu, is it possible that the concubine is worried that she will not be able to catch the emperor's heart, and wants to ask a few little masters to help keep the emperor?" Concubine Yun covered her mouth and smiled.

Bizhu owed: "Back to Niangniang, how can the slave and maid guess the meaning of the master, and besides, the master is a noble concubine, and the slave and maid are humble, so they dare not speculate." ”

Concubine Yun smiled: "It's okay to guess, it's okay if you can't guess, the palace has no intention of knowing about the matter of Sister Guifei, okay, you continue to pick, Rong'er, let's go." ”

"Yes, sissy." The palace maid beside her answered, and left with Concubine Yun.

Qizheng raised her head slightly, that Rong'er was the palace maid who was talking to Xiaolinzi in Yongdao that day.

Bizhu breathed a sigh of relief: "Really, how did you meet her." ”

Qi Zheng said suspiciously: "Sister Bizhu's words, does this mean that Concubine Yun and Guifei Niangniang are not the same people?" ”

Bizhu squinted at Concubine Yun's back as she drifted away: "Her family background, how can she be worthy of conspiring with Concubine Yin, and she can only have a friendship with Concubine Yin." ”

'Dad once said that Concubine Yin was from a humble background, and he must have disdained to pay attention to the Hua Guifei who was born in Shangshu's daughter, Concubine Yun should be Yin Guifei's person, I haven't heard of any concubine who is very close to Hua Guifei these days, but Yin Guifei has Yun Fei, so Hua Guifei wooed me to make up for this shortcoming' Qi Zheng thought in her heart.

"I want this." Wen Yue said.

Qi Zheng came back to her senses and saw Wen Yue holding a begonia and shaking.

"Sister, is this good-looking?" Wen Yue asked with a smile.

Qi Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "Even Concubine Yun praised you for captivating the country and the city, so naturally you look good in anything." ”

"Since the two little masters have picked up, the slave will go to find the little master." Bizhu said, and left with the plate.

"Sister, I'll plug it in for you." Wen Yue took the golden jade embellished snow, compared it on the hair bun of the Qi Zheng, inserted it, and praised with a smile: "Sister looks good on everything." ”

Qizheng smiled, and also put the hairpin that Wen Yue picked on her head: "Okay, don't forget what we are going to do without the hairpin." ”

"yes, we still have to go and see Qing'er, I really forgot." Wen Yue said, shaking her head again: "However, we still don't know where the Huanshang Bureau is." ”

Qizheng frowned: "I forgot about asking for directions, I should have asked Bizhu just now." ”

Wen Yue thought for a while: "Bizhu has gone to Lanxia Palace, let's go back now, Bizhu shouldn't have left yet." ”

Qi Zheng nodded, and walked quickly towards the Lanxia Hall with Wen Yue.

As soon as he walked to the bottom of the stone steps, he saw Bizhu stepping out of the threshold, and Qizheng hurriedly greeted him: "Sister Bizhu, I forgot to ask my sister about something just now." ”

Bizhu smiled: "What's the matter, just ask, little master." ”

"We want to go to the Huanshang Bureau to see someone, I don't know where the Huanshang Bureau is, Sister Bizhu should know." Wen Yue said.

"The Huanshang Bureau is in the northwest corner of the palace, near the Jingming Palace, if the two little masters really want to go, don't stay too long, so as not to attract bad luck." Bizhu said.

Qi Zheng was a little puzzled: "Bad luck? What did Sister Bizhu say about this? ”

Bizhu looked at Qi Zheng: "The little master of Qi Zheng has not been in the palace for a long time, maybe I don't know, generally only the palace maid who has made a mistake will be demoted to the Huanshang Bureau, as for Jingming Palace, it is the cold palace of this imperial city." ”

Qizheng nodded: "I understand." ”

"It's good that the little master understands, the slave and maid are going back to their lives." After Bizhu finished speaking, she owed slightly and left.

"What, you're going to see that Shen Yunqing?" Shujin walked out of the hall and stood in front of the door, looking at Wenyue and Qizheng under the steps.

Qizheng looked at Shujin: "Yes." ”

Shujin smiled faintly: "Whether you want to see her, or if you want to help her, I just remind you that what you are wearing on your head is the hairpin rewarded by the noble concubine, and you know how the mother treats us." ”

Qi Zheng frowned and said, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Shujin walked down the stone steps and stood in front of Qizheng: "I thought Wen Yue couldn't understand, but I didn't expect that even you didn't know, you want to see the people who offend Yin Guifei, and you still want to help her, aren't you the enemy of Yin Guifei, if something happens, Hua Guifei will naturally not abandon you, I just hope that you understand Entubao, don't make trouble for Guifei Niangniang, just take a look, if you want to help her, it's best to think twice." ”

"Got it, we will never embarrass the concubine." Qi Zheng said.

Shujin turned around and walked to the front of the temple: "You just need to understand." Then he went into the temple.

"Sister, let's go." Wen Yue looked at Qi Zheng and said.

After walking for a long time, he saw two figures in the corner not far ahead.

Wen Yue was puzzled: "Sister, isn't that Concubine Yun?" What are she and Wang Xi doing there, is it possible, Concubine Yun also wants to entrap Wang Xi? ”

Qizheng looked up and saw that Concubine Yun was about to leave, and the person standing next to her was Wang Ji.

'Wang Ji seems to be Concubine Hui's sister, at this moment, Concubine Yun and her behavior are so secretive, they even went to the corner to talk, could it be that Concubine Yun and Concubine Hui are both from Concubine Yin's faction? ’

"Sister, Concubine Yun is gone." Wen Yue looked there and said.

Qi Zheng came back to his senses: "Forget it, let's go." ”

Wen Yue nodded.

Out of the Chuhui Palace, all the palaces in the imperial city are connected by the Yongdao, the Yongdao is staggered, Qizheng and Wenyue walked quickly in the Yongdao, walked to the door of the Huanshang Bureau, Qizheng did not raise his eyes to look inside, he heard a sharp sound.

"You are so bold, don't you take the mother in your eyes, I won't teach you a lesson today, you still think you are a show girl."

Qi Zheng raised his eyes and was shocked by the scene in front of him, and Wen Yue was also shocked. A palace maid stood behind Yun Qing and kicked her violently, Yun Qing fell to the ground, her hair was messy, and tears kept pouring out, and the two palace maids standing behind her looked at her fiercely, kicking her from time to time, a palace maid walked in front of Yun Qing and squatted down, raised her jaw with one hand, and slapped Yun Qing's cheek with the other hand.

Qizheng and Wen Yue stood in place, stunned for a long time, Wen Yue pulled Qizheng's sleeve, Qizheng came back to her senses, crossed the threshold, stepped forward quickly, and said sharply: "Stop, why do you bully her like this, you are also palace maids, and you can treat others so ruthlessly." ”

The two palace maids turned their heads and looked at Qizheng. Wen Yue followed, and Yun Qing saw Qi Zheng and Wen Yue, sat up with one hand on the ground, and kept his head calm.

Outside the Huanshang Bureau, a gaze shot in, silently watching everything here......
