Chapter 137

Ranmo paused, and when he saw that she seemed to be intent on moving, he said: "Niangniang, think about it, the crown prince and the crown princess, what shrewd and capable people? Is it not the slightest defense against us? Concubine Xi has been in the palace for so long, she has spent so much effort, and she has only installed two people on the periphery of the East Palace, and the people who have been transferred in from outside, how can the people in the East Palace believe him? What do you have access to? In the past two years, the slave maid has looked at it coldly, and it is all bits and pieces of news that have nothing to do with the overall situation, and it is not of great help. ”
Wei Guifei opened her eyes, her eyes burning: "You mean, you have to buy one or two in the East Palace?" ”
Ran Mo said in a low voice: "The slave maid is still just pondering, thinking that if you can get one or two ready-made people, it seems that it has nothing to do with us, then it is naturally twice the result with half the effort, but the prince is not so easy to get along, and now there is the princess Niangniang, more and more strictly, to get such a person, although it is good, but it is not easy, the slave and maid spent a lot of effort in the past, and the crescent moon of the East Palace worshiped the godsisters, but did not think that this crescent moon was also sent by the princess Niangniang, and now, the slave maid pondered these days, Didn't come up with an idea. ”
Wei Guifei was about to say that Ranmo was too anxious, and her heart moved, but she suddenly understood that Ranmo was held by Concubine Wu and made a ladder to advancement.
Wei Guifei smiled lightly at this time: "You are an understanding person, I will leave this matter to you, if you want the silver, just come to me to support it, and if you do it well, it will be your first work." ”
Ranmo's eyes lit up, a little excited and a little frightened, but his mouth said: "Where is this done by the slave maid, the secret to be done is natural, it must be reliable, and it must be useful. ”
Wei Guifei closed her eyes again, smiled and listened to Ranmo's flattery, and thought proudly in her heart: I'm not afraid that you won't die.
Zhou Baolu returned to the East Palace, and made a special detour to Yixiangzhai's small study, but did not go in, only looked at the door, glanced a few times, and saw that the courtyard was thrown with overturned black lacquer Luodian wooden trays, broken red plum Tonghua porcelain cups, traces of sweet soup on the ground, and a white and tender longan rolled to the door of the courtyard.
Zhou Baolu's fleshy fingers touched her round chin again, it's been half a day, and I haven't cleaned it up, this is obviously for myself to see, who did it!
I also did too hard to act.
Stupid!
The little girls and eunuchs in the courtyard were all frightened when they saw the princess at the door, and hurriedly put down the work in their hands and stood with their hands down, for fear that the master would be upset, so they would kill themselves and be angry.
There are many people in the palace who died in vain.
Zhou Baolu just said: "The door of the study is like this, what does it look like, it's not time to clean it up!" ”
Then she went back to her room, changed into the princess's dress, put on a pink fawn pattern leg-scattering pants, and sat on the kang with her legs held like a little girl, pondering in her heart.
Zhu Tang came in to pour tea and said with a smile: "Freshly stewed jujube tea, take a sip of it?" ”
Zhou Baolu said casually: "Did you add longan?" ”
Then she felt that she was quite funny, and asked Zhu Tang: "What's the matter at noon?" Did the prince say anything? ”
The so-called ruler is short and long, Zhu Tang is thoughtful and meticulous on weekdays, and his temperament is also steady, but he doesn't like to socialize, and he doesn't inquire like Sakura, but he can't answer at this time, so he has to say: "The slave and maid are serving in this house, and they didn't come forward, but they heard that the prince was annoyed, and he didn't know who kicked him twice, and he didn't deal with it, so he turned around and went out." ”
said the same as not saying it, Zhou Baolu felt that Sakura should be left in the palace, this time I was afraid that even the people in the imperial dining room would be clear.
In desperation, Xiao Hongcheng came in the door, different from the face given to the princess on weekdays, the prince had a cold face, and the color of his face was not a color, so he said: "Go down!" ”
Zhu Tang was stunned in his heart, pinched a handful of sweat, and glanced at Zhou Baolu worriedly, but he didn't dare to speak, so he had to go back one step at a time.
and himself stood guard at the door.
There was no movement in the room for a while, no talking, no movement, Zhu Tang's heart was raised, and he was terrified.
It's been almost half a year since the young lady got married, and the prince has always been very face-giving to the young lady, no matter how cold he is outside, when he returns to this side of the house, he still has some smiling shadows, and he has never seen anything like this.
Xiao Hongcheng leaned on the door frame, only staring at Zhou Baolu, Zhou Baolu didn't get off the kang, still holding his legs, puffing out his cheeks and looking at him, the two looked at each other for a long time, and then they couldn't help but laugh together.
Xiao Hongcheng strode over, and pinched Zhou Baolu's cheeks as soon as he got started: "You little bastard, it turns out that competing for favor is such a way to fight for favor, it's really annoying, give me such a reputation!" ”
Zhou Baolu showed her sharp teeth and gestured to bite his hand, Xiao Hongcheng handed it to her to bite, she bit it, probably didn't think it was delicious, so she didn't bite it, just smiled: "What reputation, why don't I know." ”
"Humph!" Xiao Hongcheng said: "While you are not in the palace, you pulled someone into the study, and gave me the reputation of being afraid of my daughter-in-law, and I don't know how to laugh at me outside!" ”
"Hah!" Zhou Baolu smiled: "What do you have to do with being afraid, I'm afraid that your daughter-in-law's man will be promising!" ”
It's really a strange theory, Xiao Hongcheng couldn't cry or laugh.
Zhou Baolu handed over this matter to Hong Liangdi, arranged the scene, and spread unknown rumors, only saying that the prince was fortunate to have a woman in the study, and Concubine Wu broke it, and the prince lost his temper.
Obviously, Hong Liangdi also has a team in her hands, and she does things beautifully, and she can pass it on as if it is true.
Zhou Baolu was dumbfounded when she heard it, so the things in the world look like one thing, but it is too likely that they are actually another, and even the characters can make up a whole story by making up one.
Moreover, the more it is concealed and unwilling to say it happily, the more people believe that it must be true, and only by giving three or five words, people can guess the whole thing.
Zhou Baolu laughed for a long time before saying: "I was thinking, I was jealous for a while, and we are newly married, it is not a strange thing for you to let me, it is natural for you to let me, it is convincing, and now that Concubine Wu has broken it, you are annoyed and angry, don't say Concubine Wu, you will not even have a face with me, right?" And in this way, you are also justified in being cold to me, and if you have a few more such things, there will be rumors of gradual discord between the prince and the crown princess. ”
The relationship between the Donggong couple is too good, and it is not as satisfactory as the prince and his wife, and those who are about to move may really move.
Of course, this is a gradual process, and it has to evolve slowly, but that's another story.
This matter, Xiao Hongcheng smiled: "Not bad! If the East Palace is ironclad, who would dare to come up and kick it easily? Now that there is civil strife in the East Palace, although it will not turn against each other, after all, there is a suspicion, and the masters may still be in charge, and the minions will think more. ”
Zhou Baolu said: "Yes, let the East Palace be in chaos, if you do this, I am naturally ashamed and annoyed, but I don't dare to provoke you, so I will naturally take the slave and throw out a bait to see who will eat it." ”
The bitter meat meter has been a very effective method since ancient times.
Regarding the matter of throwing the bait, they had discussed it earlier, but they had not discussed the means of throwing the bait, so Xiao Hongcheng couldn't laugh or cry, but I have to say that this is a very simple and effective method.
It is very common for the back house to compete for favor, and it is also a situation that harem women can best understand.
Xiao Hongcheng naturally understood what Zhou Baolu meant before, so he said: "When the previous incident came out, I guessed your plan, it was like that when I came in just now, I just remind you, although the people who can enter the house to serve are people who have followed us for many years and are very trustworthy, but we still have to uphold a principle, as long as it is an unrelated person, we must try to hide it, and if one person knows, there will be less danger of leakage." Although many things have been planned perfectly, and the details have been repeatedly scrutinized, the failure often comes from a very unpredictable link. ”
Zhou Baolu nodded in understanding.
Xiao Hongcheng understands Zhou Baolu's temperament very well, she is a generous and sparse person, in fact, her nature is not suitable for this kind of plan now, but she has to do it, so he has to tell two sentences: "People who have nothing to do with this matter, even if it is Fu'er, or your uncle and aunt, as long as they are outsiders, they must be concealed, you have to treat things as if they are really like this, whether it is words or emotions, they must be convincing." ”
Zhou Baolu nodded again, and when he saw that he had finished speaking, he said, "Okay, I know, you will be angry in front of me this time, don't stay too long, you can leave if you drop the tea bowl." ”
Xiao Hongcheng really picked up the bowl, and Zhou Baolu took his hand again: "Wait, tell me to take a sip and then fall, I just poured it, I haven't drunk it yet, I stayed outside for a while, and my mouth was a little dry." ”
Xiao Hongcheng had to hand it to her, and she only took a sip of Xiao Hongcheng's hand, and waved her hand away.
Then he hesitated and said, "Why don't you screw me?" ”
Xiao Hongcheng laughed: "Okay, you don't have to cry, you just scold with a cold face, why bother, you don't need to be so real." ”
The two are greasy and crooked, and they are not finished.
However, Zhengming Palace got the news very quickly, Ran Mo looked excited, walked to Wei Guifei, and saw someone in front of him, so he whispered in her ear: "There was a quarrel in the main hall of the East Palace, the prince dropped the cup and went out, and the princess was so motherly that she even rewarded the maid she had to use in front of her. ”
Wei Guifei smiled and said, "Amitabha." ”
Wei Guifei sat in front of her sister-in-law Wei Wen, the eldest daughter of the current general political envoy Wen, when Wen was in Sichuan, because of her humble background, there was no backer behind her, and her daughter was actually high or low in the flower season.
Only after these years, Lord Wen's promotion has been smooth sailing, and the Wei family, who entered the palace to be a talented person, gave birth to a prince and princess all the way, won the emperor's favor, sealed the concubine, and flew on the branch to make a golden phoenix.
Not only did the Wei family seem to be smashed on the head by a pie falling from the sky, but it was Master Wen, who was also extremely proud.
This Wei Wenshi, who is not yet thirty years old, looks just ordinary, but shows some shrewdness, acts and speaks capably, marries into the Wei family, quickly understands the situation, and quickly twists into a rope with her husband's biological mother, Aunt Rong, against the main mother, not only to make twelve points of filial piety to Aunt Rong, but also to the daughter left by her husband's original match, the brothers and sisters of the compatriots are also very caring, and quickly stand firm.
And Aunt Rong herself was favored by her husband, and suddenly added another boost, and in the back house more and more with the main mother to fight against each other, fighting for more than ten years, there are losses and wins, Wei Guifei was very close to this sister-in-law when she was at home, and now she is good, she has found a good position for her brother, and the family has moved into Beijing, and Wei Guifei has recruited Wen into the palace from time to time to speak.
At this time, the Wen family saw the sneaky appearance of Burning Ink, so he smiled at Wei Guifei and said: "If the mother has something, the concubine will retire first." ”
Wei Guifei hurriedly stopped her and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, it just so happens that sister-in-law is here, so you can help me with details." He said to Ranmo again: "My sister-in-law is not an outsider, it doesn't matter if you say it to your face, maybe my sister-in-law will reward you with an idea, which is better than you think." ”
Ran Mo hurriedly smiled: "What Niang Niang said is, what can I know, my uncle's wife has seen and knows more than ten times more than me, and the slave maid just has a troublesome matter here, ask my uncle's wife to reward me with a sentence or two, and I will have everything." ”
He said the sword draw of the East Palace.
Of course, Burning Mo spoke, his language was unknown, and he didn't know a lot of details, and he could hear this, but it took a lot of effort to make a lot of money.
Wei Wenshi nodded and smiled: "You can hear these things so quickly, but you really have a heart, and you are worthy of being the person who needs to be used by Niangniang." It's just that you're still late to move, in such a situation in the East Palace, you should have thought that you were serving in front of your mother, and your mother relied on you, so you should think about it for your mother. ”
Ran Mo said respectfully: "Yes, it's just a matter of Donggong today, how did you expect it, the slave doesn't understand it very well, and I ask my uncle to teach." ”
Wei Wenshi said to Wei Guifei with a Zhuge Liang look: "Thinking about the concubine, the crown princess of the East Palace and the side concubine compete for favor, this is simply a sure thing, how did Concubine Wu get favored earlier?" After entering the palace for a year or two, the prince was favored, and the East Palace paid her hand, and I was still in Sichuan at that time, and I heard people talk about it, so there is no need to talk about the honor. Now that the crown princess has entered the palace, she is a noble person, and she is young, can she endure her? Joke! Even if the crown prince, one wants to give his wife dignity, and the other has just gotten married, it is a fresh time, so it is naturally different from before, and it is inevitable to snub Concubine Wu, a while ago, didn't the crown princess clean up Concubine Wu and give her sister to His Royal Highness? Concubine Wu was only afraid of poisoning her in her heart! ”
Concubine Wei agreed very much in her heart, and thought, if it were me, I would naturally take advantage of this time to clean up Concubine Wu! But he said: "The crown princess really has the means." ”
Wei Wenshi didn't think so, and said with a smile: "It's also in front of the mother, and it's a trustworthy slave, I just said this big rebellious sentence, the princess Niangniang is too anxious, she just relies on her own identity, and has the favor of the prince, and she first formed such a mortal enmity with Concubine Wu before she has a stable foothold, it's really unwise, Concubine Wu entered the palace two years earlier, and she has to be favored, and she must have something to do in the East Palace, the princess Niangniang is so anxious to make trouble, in fact, she also feels threatened, but it's too early, and she is about a young age, It's because I grew up with dignity, I don't know how difficult the world is, how can living in my husband's house be the same as my mother's family! ”
Wei Guifei nodded again and again, her sister-in-law was really resourceful and saw it thoroughly.
Wei Wenshi asked Ranmo again: "What are you going to do now?" ”
Ran Mo's heart sank, Wei Wen's asked like this, obviously Wei Guifei handed over all her bottom to Wei Wen's, so Wei Wen's identity was clear.
Ran Mo said more and more cautiously: "The slave maid inquired today, the maid who followed Concubine Wu to deliver the soup is called Xianglan, she is the daughter of Concubine Wu when she was a child, when Concubine Wu entered the palace, she brought two maids, and last month there was a maid named Danqing who was not very well, Concubine Wu went to ask for the grace of the prince and released her from the palace, and the Wu family sent this maid in, the slave and maid inquired, this maid is not a trouble-free person, and her heart is also big, she used to be in the Wu family, serving the second girl, As soon as she entered the palace, she quietly complained about the princess in front of Concubine Wu, and today she also inquired about the prince's return to the palace, went to the small study of Yixiangzhai to rest, and pleaded with Concubine Wu to deliver soup! ”
Wei Wenshi laughed: "Idiot, I don't know how to die in the future!" ”
Ran Mo glanced at Wei Guifei's face, and said: "The slave maid also inquired, but this Xianglan is another maid and cousin of Concubine Wu who brought ink from Jiangnan, and the slave maid thinks that maybe it is a good opportunity?" Although she was pushed behind, she could go to her cousin to talk to and give something in the future. ”
Wei Guifei thought for a while: "What you said is very true, as long as we hold her in our hands, there will always be a flaw over there." ”
Wei Guifei and Wei Wen's family both know that although Concubine Wu leaned over, her role was very limited, and she could only be expected to contribute to the rectification of the crown princess, if she wanted to ask her to talk about the prince's confidential affairs, it was impossible, in the end, it was the side concubine of the East Palace, the prince was not good, she only had something worse.
But the maid is different, to be able to get close to the maid in the East Palace, if there is not such a big change, it is almost impossible.
Wei Wenshi said to Wei Guifei: "This girl really has a heart to serve the mother, and the mother is only afraid that she will be rewarded." ”
Wei Guifei nodded reservedly, very obedient.
Ranmo hurriedly knelt down to thank him.
Wei Wenshi smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry to thank you first, your mission is not over yet." As he spoke, he said to Concubine Wei: "Judging from the concubines, there is no need to worry about this matter." ”
"Oh?" Wei Guifei said curiously, this is a good opportunity.
Wei Wenshi said with a smile: "Speaking of which, it is a good opportunity to leave a good opportunity thanks to the wisdom of my mother." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Ranmo, and then pointed in the direction of Concubine Xi.
Wei Guifei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, stroked her palms and chuckled: "Sure enough, my sister-in-law is resourceful!" We don't have to do it, but we can not only know everything, but also reap the benefits of the fisherman! ”
The more Wei Guifei thought about it, the more proud she became, and the more she thought about it, the more satisfied she became, and she couldn't help but say, "I have to thank Concubine Wu for this!" ”
Wei Wenshi also smiled proudly: "Niangniang wants to reward her, haha." ”
Ran Mo stood aside respectfully, bowing her head, Wei Guifei and Wei Wenshi couldn't see her expression, and they didn't know that she was awe-inspiring in her heart, after the side concubine Niangniang told her about this, she told her that if the concubine asked her to leak the news to Concubine Xi, just do it, it doesn't matter.
At this time, Ran Mo became more and more in awe of the side concubine Niangniang, such a last resort, how terrible it was.
After a day, Ranmo quietly replied to the side concubine Niangniang, and at this point, the East Palace had arranged to stop, dug a pit, and threw out the bait, it was up to him to see who had malicious intentions.
The arrangement stopped, Zhou Baolu finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she didn't want this bait to really catch a fish, but if a fish must jump out of the water, she would not have mercy.
She's fed up with being targeted!
In less than half a year's career in the deep palace, it is already a thrilling step, and Zhou Baolu must deal with it carefully.
Zhou Baolu just breathed a sigh of relief, on September 17, the emperor issued an edict to the imperial concubine, and the concubine Qi was the imperial concubine of Duanyi, and the palace was busy again to prepare for the promotion ceremony of the imperial concubine.
Concubine Qi Niangniang, this is really not done...... Zhou Baolu went to Enhua Palace more and more every day to visit Concubine Qi, and also comforted Wang Jinxiu.
It's only been three months, Wang Jinxiu is getting thinner and thinner, Wang Jinxiu is not fat, her chin is pointy, and even the flesh on her face is even thinner, her eyes are a little red and swollen, and her spirit is also very poor.
Zhou Baolu was distressed, so she had to persuade her to rest more, Wang Jinxiu sighed: "Looking at the mother concubine like this, the third master feels uncomfortable, and I naturally can't get better......"
She held Zhou Baolu's hand, and her voice was a little choked: "Before getting married, the third master told me, let's be good, take the mother concubine out of the palace in the future, and honor her old man together. ”
Zhou Baolu had to pat her hand, but she couldn't find words to comfort her, so she reluctantly changed the topic: "Concubine Qi has enjoyed the blessing of her daughter-in-law, but although you don't have much appetite, in the end, your body is important, you just can't eat, you have to eat reluctantly, when I came, I sent the small kitchen to make some wontons with Yuhu bamboo shoots, which you love to eat, you look at my face, eat some, let me rest assured, okay?" ”
Lily was waiting on the side, and hurriedly picked it up, because Wang Jinxiu wished to be vegetarian, the wonton soup was bean sprouts and mushrooms to enhance the flavor, just brought up, Wang Jinxiu reached out to pick it up, but his face changed, and the hand he took immediately pushed it away, turned his face and spit it out.
Zhou Baolu was stunned, and hurriedly gave her the handkerchief in her hand, and when she vomited, she asked softly: "What are you ...... Isn't it......? ”
Wang Jinxiu nodded lightly, revealing a bleak smile: "It's been two months, I'm ...... I haven't figured out what to do yet. ”
Zhou Baolu sighed, this matter is really not easy to do.
Just married and pregnant, this is a good thing, but this timing is really wrong, although it is not as rebellious as filial piety and pregnancy, but the mother is seriously ill, the princess enters the palace to serve the sick, and she can still be pregnant, what kind of reputation is this?
But since it already has it, and it is the blood of the Heavenly Family, it can't be disposed of arbitrarily......
Zhou Baolu felt very tricky.
The author has something to say: This month, I tried to challenge the full attendance of more than 6,000 a day, and I was very unconfident, so everyone should encourage me more!
If two chapters are combined into one chapter, it is still nine points, and if two chapters are developed separately, the first chapter is still nine points, and the second chapter is random!
