Chapter 23: Planting

23 planting

Mu Hibiscus knelt in front of Zhao Yanrong's bed with her head down, and her hands were holding the handkerchief to reveal a little nervousness.

She is different from Mulan, she did not come from the Zhao family, but the maid who used to serve Princess Kang Xie. To be precise, according to her background, she is from the emperor's side.

It is said that Li Rui has a deep relationship with his deceased ex-wife Xie Shi, but the news that Zhao Yanrong got from the Pei family's uncle is that the relationship is mediocre, and it is neither good nor bad.

The Xie family is a well-known scholarly family and has produced countless great Confucians. It is not an exaggeration to say that among the emperors in the past three hundred years, seven or eight out of ten are from the Xie family.

When the previous dynasty reached the last emperor of mourning, he was arrogant and lascivious, and he was tyrannical, so that the people were not able to make a living, and chaos was born everywhere.

At that time, Emperor Wai's concubine was the master of the Xie family's room. He was full of filial piety, and cried in the palace for the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and was willing to admonish the king with death. Emperor Zhou Ai, who was annoyed and angry by his scolding, immediately fulfilled his wish, threw his teacher into Dading to be cooked to death, and issued an order to punish his entire clan.

Fortunately, the Xie family members are all over the world, and they finally snatched out a few young children from under the knife. The Xie family was slaughtered more than 1,000 people, and the family withered day by day, which is embarrassing.

The foundation of the Xie family for hundreds of years was burned by Emperor Zhou Ai, and the surviving remnants turned to the rebel army in anger, which became a great help to overthrow the Zhou family.

It can be said that although the Xie family has no real power in their hands, they have people's hearts. Li Rui's Yue's family is looking very well.

It's a pity that the Xie family was so angry that he couldn't wait for the day he became the queen to lose his incense, and gave this achievement to Zhao Yanrong, a woman who came halfway.

In Zhao Yanrong's memory, Mu Hibiscus is a person who doesn't like to talk much, and he is silent all day long, but he is very neat and thoughtful.

Although there is only one word difference between Princess Kang's people and King Kang's people, there is still a big difference in Zhao Yanrong's heart.

No matter who this hibiscus is, Zhao Yanrong is very sure that she is not her own person.

"You don't serve in front of the Queen Mother, what is the important thing to come to the palace?" Zhao Yanrong wore her hair, leaned on the pillow, and carefully looked at the hibiscus.

Mu Hibiscus is almost twenty years old this year, with a delicate face, probably because he used to serve the Xie family, with a bookish aura on his body, and he looks quite comfortable.

The sky outside was getting brighter, and the temple could already see the eyebrows and eyes of the woman kneeling in front of him without a palm lamp.

Hibiscus frowned slightly, breathing rapidly, and there was a faint look of struggle and anxiety between her eyebrows.

Zhao Yanrong was not in a hurry, she quietly waited for Mu Hibiscus to speak.

"Niangniang, slave maid, slave maid want to go back to Zhaoyang Palace." Hibiscus knelt there, and his heart turned a thousand times, and finally turned into the most ordinary sentence.

"You are originally from Zhaoyang Palace, and the Queen Mother just borrowed you for a few days." Zhao Yanrong pulled a strand of hair, and the soft and fine black hair was entwined between her white fingers, black and white, which was particularly dazzling. "What, the Queen Mother treats you badly?"

"It's not." Hibiscus replied softly. It's not so much an answer as it is a self-talk.

"It's dawn, don't you need to serve the Queen Mother?" Zhao Yanrong's gaze swept to Mu Hibiscus's hand on his knee. Hands don't deceive, whether you're doing well or not, just look at the skin on your hands.

Hibiscus has a beautiful hand shape and long and slender fingers. These big palace maids are usually only responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the master, and the rough work is done by the palace people below, and they are pampered one by one, and they are no worse than the eldest ladies outside. Like Dan Feng and Bai Lu, after walking around the Huanyi Bureau, the skin on their hands became dull and rough, and their fingers were also soaked.

Mu Hibiscus's hands still looked very white and soft, and it seemed that the Queen Mother didn't torture her because she was a person from the Zhaoyang Palace. She is actually doing well in Changle Palace!

Mu Hibiscus was seen by the queen's gaze, and her scalp exploded, and cold sweat seeped out on her forehead.

"Slaves and slaves have something to do." She looked around.

"Mulan is not an outsider, just say anything you have." A smile suddenly appeared on the queen's face, but in Hibiscus's eyes, this smile looked so strange and difficult in the faint light.

After the queen woke up, she really changed a lot!

The cold sweat on Hibiscus's back soaked her close-fitting coat and stuck cold and sticky to her body.

Hibiscus twisted slightly, took out a small cloth bag from his bosom and placed it on the ground.

"The Queen Mother ordered the slave maid to quietly stuff this thing into the body of the maid who served the maid, if the slave maid did not do well, the Queen Mother would kill the slave maid."

Mulan picked up the small bag, opened it layer by layer, and saw that it was a jade pendant of phoenix-rank Ganoderma lucidum. The golden phoenix was carved extremely smartly, holding a pigeon's egg size of a mutton fat jade lingzhi. The whole body is white and moist like goat's milk. The phoenix tail is seven counts, which is an extremely expensive thing. Zhao Yanrong only glanced at it and understood the meaning.

This kind of thing that looks very against the sky must have been rewarded by the first emperor to the Empress Dowager Zhang, which is priceless and has extraordinary meaning.

The Queen Mother ordered Hibiscus to mix this thing with her entourage, this is the planting of Hongguoguo!

Although it is an old stalk that has been overused, and it is too old to work a bad trick, the success rate and destructiveness of this trick are still extremely great.

Zhao Yanrong took the jade pendant and looked at it over and over.

"It's beautiful!" The queen's eyes were blazing, and her face was greedy, and she actually put her hand into her arms.

Mulan: "......"

Hibiscus: "......"

"Alright, your mission is complete, go back." Zhao Yanrong waved her hand and motioned for Hibiscus to go out.

Mu Hibiscus knelt down again in a daze, and then said tremblingly: "Niangniang, you ...... Aren't you worried? ”

"What's there to worry about?" Zhao Yanrong blinked her eyes twice, "Didn't the Queen Mother ask you to give a gift to the palace?" Bengong smiled, and when you went back, you said that the thing had been put on Mulan. ”

What else did Mu Hibiscus say, Zhao Yanrong glanced at Mulan: "Send her out." ”

After the person left, Zhao Yanrong took out the phoenix pendant from his arms and put it in the palm of his hand, and calmly came out of his mind.

After a while, Mulan rushed back and knelt in front of her, quite uneasy: "Niangniang, why did you take this thing away?" What if the Queen Mother asks someone to check it? ”

Zhao Yanrong said leisurely: "What are you afraid of? Today, we are going back to Zhaoyang Palace, and she will definitely rush to the palace. Then before you leave, you will have a fuss and someone will search you. ”

This phoenix pendant is the treasure of the queen mother's personal treasure, and the only ones who can touch it are her close attendant and the queen who served last night. The queen mother will not directly accuse the queen of stealing her things because of the royal decency, but the things are found from the queen's maids, which is no different from calling her a thief.

This old witch is really endless, if you don't see the Yellow River, you won't die, you won't cry if you don't see the coffin!

Zhao Yanrong touched the Ganoderma lucidum with her fingers, and the delicate and smooth touch made her love it.

Women, too, are always not resistant to beautiful and expensive things.

Even if she's a female warrior!

"Go and call Danfeng, as well as the two internal guards sent by the emperor, bring all the things you want to take away from Ming'er, let's take a look at them one by one."

Mulan was shocked when she heard this: "Niangniang, you mean? ”

Zhao Yanrong raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Hibiscus reminded the palace, it's always right to be careful." ”

Mulan nodded in response, turned around to leave, suddenly turned around, and asked with some uncertainty: "Didn't Mu Hibiscus already give the jade pendant to Niangniang?" Why does the mother want the slaves and maids to check again? ”

"The hibiscus is on the surface, how do you know that this is not someone who is building a plank road and secretly crossing Chen Cang?" Zhao Yanrong pulled the quilt that had slipped under her waist upward, her dark eyes shining in the morning light, "Be careful to make the Ten Thousand Years Boat, not to mention that we are in Changle Palace at this time." Before you leave, avoid contact with outsiders, but if anyone bumps into you or touches you, tell the palace immediately. ”

Mulan's heart was pounding, her chest was tight and painful, but there was an inexplicable excitement. She nodded and walked out briskly.

The four women knelt before the queen, opened their clothes like cages, and looked at each other.

After a while, an internal guard pulled out a golden hairpin from one of Danfeng's skirts.

"Niangniang, what do you see?" The internal guard held the golden hairpin in front of the queen with both hands.

"Yo, Five-Tails." Zhao Yanrong looked at it and said to Danfeng with a smile, "Look, you want to be a palace concubine, you have hidden illegal things, not stealing and stealing, Danfeng, you are dead." ”

Dan Feng's little face turned pale with fright, and tears almost fell out.

"The slave doesn't know where this thing came from!"

"Of course I can't let you know, you know what else they can do?" Zhao Yanrong put the hairpin aside and said to them, "Go on!" ”

"Will there be?" Mulan was also scared into a cold sweat. I thought that it would be a big deal for the Queen Mother to stuff a piece of jade pendant, but I didn't expect to find something stuffed in Danfeng's clothes.

"Anyway, one is stealing, and two are also stealing," Zhao Yanrong pinned the falling sideburns behind her ears, "You have to implement the matter and make sure that nothing goes wrong." ”

Then, sure enough, the palace-made jewelry was found in the luggage of the two internal guards, and there were seals of Changle Palace on them.

Zhao Yanrong smashed her mouth, this old witch is really crazy, and even the emperor doesn't plan to let it go.

Stuffing things into her palace maid's luggage is to frame her, the queen, for not having clean hands and feet.

But what is the matter of stuffing it into the luggage of the internal guard sent by the emperor?

Do you want to say that the emperor's hands and feet are not clean?

Lying in that big groove, the whole world is Li Rui's, can he still be greedy for your two priceless jewelry?

Zhao Yan couldn't help but shake her head, Queen Mother, you are in urgent need of recharge, dear!
