Early the next morning, almost all the noble ladies who accompanied them to Xiangshan sent people to hand signs into the palace to ask to see Cui Keyin.

Cui Keyin slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up, and after eating leisurely, she looked at these signs, and did not allow anyone to enter the palace.

The nobles were even more anxious, and they didn't know what the queen meant.

Mrs. Jinghaihou entrusted someone and finally delivered the news to Anhua Palace.

Cui Keyin sat lazily and talked with Yongning over tea.

Princess Yongning said meekly: "Since the emperor thinks this person is good, it is good." ”

Cui Keyin was speechless, it wasn't Zhou Heng who was married, what was the use of Zhou Heng thinking it was good?

"Do you remember what this man looked like?" Cui Keyin really suspected that she didn't even remember the other party's appearance, after all, she had been following her all the time, and she didn't squint.

Yongning frowned and pondered, and Cui Keyin sighed helplessly.

After Yongning retired, Pearl said: "Mrs. Jinghai Hou asked someone to carry a letter and sent two handkerchiefs with excellent patterns, saying that she would like to invite Niang Niang An, Niang Niang went to Xiangshan yesterday to play, and it was hard work." ”

The embroidery of the two handkerchiefs is extremely exquisite. One is embroidered with a mandala flower, at first glance it is just a flower with branches and manman entwined, but if you look closely, this flower is like a life. One embroidered is Chang'e running to the moon, and Chang'e's eyes look at you sadly, as if telling the loneliness of living alone in the Moon Palace.

"Sure enough, it's a good veil." Cui Keyin put down the veil and said, "Who sent it?" ”

Pearl said: "The slave maid has a distant relative, who has not been in contact for many years, and recently learned that her daughter is on an errand in the Jingqing Marquis Mansion, and she is the slave's cousin." She asked someone to carry a letter to the slave maid. Ask the slave maid to be in front of the mother, speak for Mrs. Jinghaihou, and let Mrs. Jinghaihou enter the palace to meet her. ”

Cui Keyin said: "Go and get the punishment." ”

At this time, you can hand over the handkerchief, and you may not know what to hand in. Besides, if her every move here falls in the eyes of someone with a heart, how will she live this life? Pearl is her dowry maid, not to mention other palace people?

Cui Keyin gathered the palace attendants of Anhua Palace together and admonished: "Pearl doesn't know the severity, and it is the first offense, and the aunt spared her life." If anyone reoffends in the future. It will certainly not be forgiving. The crime of dowry in this palace is increased by one degree. ”

All the palace attendants bowed down in unison to agree.

Pearl was beaten with twenty rods. The penalty was half a year a month.

When Mrs. Jinghai heard this, she stuck out her tongue and couldn't retract it, and said, "The queen mother is so powerful. ”

It's just that he used the excuse of the handkerchief to show his face in front of her, begging her to see her. How can it be so serious?

Cui Keyin went to look at the pearl. "A few of you." It's been waiting for me since I was a child, and instead of being a good person, I have brought them badly. If I don't punish you, how will I punish others in the future? ”

After the defense of the capital, Zhou Heng had no intention of accepting a concubine, and how many noble ministers were looking forward to it, and only waited for the emperor to hint at it, and sent his daughter to the palace. But waiting and waiting, Zhou Heng didn't hint at it, so Zhou Quan jumped out and responded. Now the imperial historians led by Zhou Quan have made a fuss, and more than 200 courtiers have been beaten together with the court staff, and it has become a stalemate. In the end, it was Cui Keyin who stood up and spoke thoughtlessly. Zhou Heng won like this.

Now Zhou Heng is in the court, and Cui Keyin is also famous for his favorite.

In the past dynasties, as long as the concubine is favored, there must be someone who wants to take a shortcut and take the door of the concubine's mother's house, that is, the dictatorship of relatives. These days, the threshold of Xinglin Hutong is almost flattened, but fortunately, Cui Keyin reminded the Jiang family that the most important thing is that Cui Zhenyi is a square person, and no gifts will be accepted.

I can't go through Cui Zhenyi's door, so I can only rack my brains and go directly to Cui Keyin's door. Cui Keyin lives in the depths, and it is difficult to go her way. Fortunately, there are many people in the palace around her, as long as one or two people are paid, they should be able to pass on the news.

It took a lot of effort for Jinghaihou and his wife to find Pearl's distant relatives. Of course, as long as you can get in touch with the people around Cui Keyin, and care about her pearl agate, you can achieve your goal anyway.

Pearl is simple, where do you want to get the twists and turns in this, I heard that it was a distant cousin who asked for it, and just carried two handkerchiefs, and a word, and responded.

At this time, lying on the bed, her buttocks were almost numb from pain, and when she saw Cui Keyin coming to see her in person, she was moved to tears, and said, "The slave doesn't know the severity, and it won't be in the future." ”

Among them, Lu Ying has already told her in detail, thinking of the cousin who came out of nowhere, the fire in her heart rises straight up.

Cui Keyin saw that she had applied good gold sore medicine, and thought that it would heal in less than ten days, patted her on the shoulder, and went back.

After waiting for Cui Keyin, Lu Ying went to the pearl room and said, "Niangniang cares about you so much, but you are being used, I don't know how sad Niangniang is." Don't do this kind of thing again. ”

Pearl kept nodding and said, "Please ask my sister to help me inquire, how is my cousin now?" ”

"You're still worried about her?" Lu Ying was furious.

Pearl said, "No, I just want to know why she lied to me." ”

In the morning, someone came in with a letter at the gate of the palace, saying that she had a cousin who had come to Beijing and had finally found her. Now that I think about it, it turns out that people originally dug a pit for her to jump.

Seeing that she couldn't let it go, Lu Ying gave Cui Keyin, and with Cui Keyin's permission, she quickly told her the news that came in: "Your cousin has been made the eighth aunt by Jinghai Houna." ”

It is the dream of many handmaidens to be accepted as the concubine of the Hou Ye, to become the master, and to give birth to a child is to become a master who calls slaves and maids. Thinking about it, the Marquis of Jinghai allowed her to be a concubine and let her come to find the pearl.

Pearl was stunned and muttered, "How could she do this?" ”

"Don't be fooled easily in the future, otherwise, you will lose your life and don't know how to die." Lu Ying told again and again.

If such a thing happened, Cui Keyin naturally wouldn't see Mrs. Jinghaihou. Seeing that there was no news from the palace after the trip to Xiangshan, Jinghaihou and his wife were so anxious.

Jinghaihou overheard in the drunken immortal building that Fang Min asked someone to bring things to the palace and send them to Shufangzhai, and he couldn't help but be even more anxious, and before he finished drinking, he hurriedly left the table and went home.

Roujia recently received a soft gift, and she didn't even bother to look at the gift she sent, so she only asked Ziluo to make a register and register it and put it in the warehouse. It turned out that she didn't have a warehouse, and now she can only pick two rooms as warehouses to stack these things.

Yongning was even more depressed when he heard the palace people talk about it. She hadn't been to Shufangzhai for days. Rou Jia naturally has no time to play with her, looking at those high-level love poems every day, the whole person is fluttering, how can I have time to chat with my sister?

Just when Yongning felt that he couldn't lift his spirits by doing anything, Lu Ying came and said, "Niangniang wants to go to Daxiangguo Temple to incense, I don't know if Her Royal Highness the princess will go down?" ”

"To Daxiangguoji Temple?" Yongning said: "I heard in a trance that the sign of the Great Xiangguo Temple is very effective? ”

"yes, yes. Your Highness might as well ask for a marriage lot. Lu Ying smiled kindly. (To be continued.) )
