Qin Yuan stayed at the Yi Guifei until noon before returning to the palace, Qin Yuan sat on the soft couch, picked up the tea cup and tasted the tea, today's provincial peace, Concubine Wan's mouth is thin, Concubine Shu's bitterness, Xiang Guifei's cynicism, An Concubine and Li Guifei's whispering, so that Qin Yuan frowned, now there are too many people in the palace who don't like her, she is only a concubine and has no real power, how to go in the future?

At this time, Zhang Dehai on the side saw Qin Yuan's thoughts, and comforted him in a calm tone, "The master doesn't have to be worried, just let everything go naturally." Qin Yuan opened her mouth and replied, "That being said, there are too many people in the palace who don't look at this concubine now. Zhang Dehai smiled and said, "The master is now the time to be favored, and the queen mother and the concubine are taking pictures of each other, so naturally I don't dare to be too arrogant with you." ”

"Relying on others is not a long-term solution after all."

"There is still a long way to go, the master has just entered the palace, only by taking every step in front of him, the victory is just around the corner."

Qin Yuan slightly agreed with her head, and then said, "In the afternoon, you go to Concubine Shu with this concubine." ”

"Yes, the minions obey."

Before the end of the afternoon, Qin Yuan took Zhang Dehai to Concubine Shu, Qin Yuan bowed slightly and saluted, "Concubine to Concubine Shu's mother." Concubine Shu sat on the reddish-brown wooden chair and replied coldly with contempt on her face, "No courtesy." Qin Yuan straightened up and said gently, "Yesterday I was busy moving to bed, and I couldn't come to ask my mother to say goodbye, and I hope that Niangniang Mo Jie will not have a concubine ceremony, this pair of red gold phoenix tail agate tassels, and I hope that Niangniang will smile." ”

Concubine Shu glanced at the palace maid beside her, the palace maid took the brocade box in Qin Yuan's hand and handed it to Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu slowly opened, after a slight pause, her eyes showed a little joy, this red gold phoenix tail agate tassel is a high-grade jewelry, it is made by Jiangnan embroidery Niang herself, it is a unique work in the world.

However, Concubine Shu just smiled indifferently and said, "Jinhua Hall is already Biwa Zhuyong, and the emperor specially let the Internal Affairs Office take care of it exquisitely, so naturally it will be cleaned up for a day, and Concubine Hui is now busy serving the emperor, even if Concubine Hui doesn't come to the palace to ask for peace, the palace won't mind." ”

Qin Yuan replied humbly, "Concubine Shu is the master of the palace, how can the concubine neglect this gift of peace, even if the concubine is fortunate enough to receive the holy favor, it is only at the feet of the concubine." ”

Concubine Shu softened slightly, "Please be safe is just a courtesy, inner respect is the true meaning, you will get a concubine when you enter the palace now, and you will be favored by the queen mother and the emperor, don't be arrogant." ”

"Concubines follow the teachings of their mothers."

"When the province was safe this morning, Concubine Xiang was disrespectful to you, and you must not mind, she looked like a scorching sun, and now she has replaced Concubine Ru to assist Yuxiu Palace, and she is even more proud."

"The concubine knows that it is wrong not to greet the mother first, so she naturally does not mind the auspicious concubine, the reason why the auspicious concubine governs Yuxiu Palace, the concubine thinks that the auspicious concubine has its ability."

Concubine Shu suddenly raised the corners of her mouth, "What is Yuxiu Palace like now, who doesn't know what the palace people are?" Hey, it's a pity that your sister is seriously ill now, otherwise she would not let Xianggui Concubine gain power. ”

"The eldest sister of the concubine has been weak since she was a child, and now that she is sick, the concubine can't go to visit, and she can't help but feel a little worried."

"Hey, I'm really sorry for you." , Concubine Shu looked at the sky outside, and then said, "The palace is a little tired, you should go back early in the winter." ”

"Yes, the concubine is retired."

The reason why the conversation between the two is simple and easy to be short, is only because of the tassel hairpin, otherwise Concubine Shu will definitely be hot and sarcastic, Qin Yuan On the way back, thinking about the conversation between Fang Cai and Concubine Shu, asked Zhang Dehai, "Does Concubine Shu hate Concubine Xiang?" Zhang Dehai followed behind him and said, "Xianggui Concubine is pampered and arrogant, and she is rampant in Yonghua Palace, not only does Concubine Shu hate her, but there are few people in the palace who look at her." ”

The corners of Qin Yuan's mouth raised indifferently, "No wonder Concubine Shu deliberately mentioned Concubine Xiang." ”

"When Concubine Fang mentioned the eldest sister of her master, Concubine Rufei, Concubine Shu must have something to say."

Qin Yuan looked into the distance, I don't know how Concubine Ru is in Yuxiu Palace now, although Qin Yuan is not extremely worried, but after all, Concubine Ru is her only relative in the palace.

Qin Yuan then looked at a closed palace door, a pair of seals on the palace door were cross-sealed, and the rusty iron lock was tightly locked, and then asked, "Where is this?" It looks like it's been locked up for a long time. Zhang Dehai behind him replied, "The master doesn't know, there was a concubine Jing back then, the emperor and the queen mother were very fond of it, only a year after entering the palace, the emperor decreed the concubine, and built this Chude Palace to give to Concubine Jing, but who knew that the palace caught fire the night before Concubine Jing's canonization ceremony, and Concubine Jing died in the fire, and the Chude Palace was abandoned to this point. ”

Qin Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, "This is too coincidental, right?" ”

"Afterwards, the emperor and the queen mother thoroughly investigated the matter, but did not find any clues, but it is a pity that the Chude Palace, it is said that the decoration inside is magnificent, more gorgeous than the Yixiang Palace of the concubine, at that time the emperor did not hesitate to build the Chude Palace, and therefore caused a lot of turmoil in the court."

Qin Yuan slowly bowed her head and said, "Even so, it is indeed a pity. ”

Back in Jinhua Palace, Qin Yuan sat on the soft couch, Aunt Lan hurriedly poured tea for Qin Yuan and asked, "Is it okay for the master to go to Concubine Shu?" Concubine Shu didn't make things difficult for you, did she? Qin Yuan said lightly, "The red gold phoenix tail agate tassels have been sent, what else can she say." ”

"It seems that Concubine Shu is nothing more than that."

Qin Yuan's eyes showed a hint of lightness, "The queen advocates frugality on weekdays, how can the jewelry in the palace be compared to this red gold phoenix tail agate tassel, everyone has a love for beauty, how can Concubine Shu not like it?" ”

Aunt Lan smiled lightly, and then said, "By the way, all palaces have begun to prepare for the queen mother's birthday gifts, what is the master's plan?" Qin Yuan thought for a while and said, "This concubine will have to rely on the Queen Mother in the future, this congratulatory gift can't be sloppy." Aunt Lan frowned slightly, "Then what should I send?" Master, a lot of the jewelry and treasures you brought into the palace have been sent out, and there is not much left in the treasury. ”

"The Queen Mother has never seen any rare treasures, and the little thing in this concubine can't get into the eyes of the Queen Mother at all."

"So what should I give?"

"Who said that you have to give gifts, now the queen and Sister Yi are in charge of the harem, although the queen mother has a prominent status, she is also slightly inferior to the queen."

Aunt Lan nodded approvingly and said, "It is natural for the Queen Mother to live in Shoukang Palace, far away from the fourth palace where the concubines live." ”

Aunt Lan's words made Qin Yuan have a flash of inspiration, and she naturally had an answer in her heart, and then a satisfied smile rose on the corner of her mouth, "This concubine knows what to do." ”
