"Back to Niangniang's words, the slave's father used to go to private school for a few years, but he has never been admitted to any fame, and the family is getting poorer and poorer, and he can't support a large family, so in desperation, he sent the slave to the palace, and it has been more than 20 years in a blink of an eye."

Ling Ruo lifted the lid of the lamp, used his armor to pick up the foam floating on it, and said in a cold voice: "You can be a steward in the Internal Affairs Mansion, but it is far better than an ordinary eunuch." ”

Zhong Shang couldn't figure out the purpose of Ling Ruo's coming, and said with a smile: "What Niang Niang said is that the slaves can have today, and they are all loved by several masters, and the slaves are ......."

Ling Ruo raised his hand to interrupt him and said, "Okay, this palace is not interested in listening to your nonsense, this palace is here to ask you something." ”

Zhong Shang hurriedly said: "Niangniang, please ask, the slave must know everything, and he must say everything." ”

"Okay." Ling Ruo took a deep look at him and said, "Since a few months ago, the sixth elder brother has been making tea for Concubine Jin before going to bed, not to mention the Lushan Yunwu tea, but he actually got it from Steward Zhong. This palace knows that there are not many tributes to Lushan Yunwu Tea this year, and it has already been divided, why is there a Zhong Guan, and where did it come from? ”

Zhong Shang chuckled in his heart, his face turned slightly pale, but he quickly calmed down, "Originally, Niangniang asked about this, yes, the slave once met the sixth elder brother by chance, he said that the concubine treated him very well, and wanted to pay homage to him, but he didn't know what to do, the slave saw that the sixth elder brother was so filial, so he gave the Lushan Yunwu tea that he had been cherishing to the sixth elder brother, and asked him to make tea for the concubine to drink, although it was not a great filial piety, but it was also a piece of filial piety. ”

Dai Jiashi interjected: "You are just a steward, how can there be such a tribute as Lushan Yunwu Tea?" Is it nonsense? ”

Zhong Shang heard the words and hurriedly called Qu for himself, "Concubine Cheng Niang Mingjian, how dare the slave talk nonsense in front of the two Niangniang, every word the slave said is true, the slave has been in the palace for more than 20 years, although the status is low, but he has also been rewarded by many masters, and there are some teas, but the slaves are reluctant to drink it, and they have always kept it, in addition to Lushan Yunwu tea, there are some other teas. ”

Ling Ruo kept staring at his eyes, and found that his eyes flickered, which was clearly not true, and said coldly: "Then you should tell me, which master gave this Lushan Cloud Mist Tea, who was so generous, and rewarded so much at once." ”

This tea was naturally given by the Nala clan, but Zhong Shang never dared to say this, and pretended to think for a while and said: "The slave remembered, when the first emperor was alive, there was a bumper harvest of Yunwu tea in Lushan one year, and a lot of tributes were paid, and all the ladies in the palace got a lot. Once the slave did something for the concubine, the mother saw that the slave was doing a good job, so she rewarded the tea to the slave, and this harvest has been received now, and the calculation time has been almost ten years. ”

The Jing Concubine in Zhong Shang's mouth is Shi Qiuci who secretly framed Ling Ruo and made her be demoted to Yongwang's Mansion as a Gege, as early as when Yinzhen first ascended the throne, she died, so Zhong Shang's words are simply dead without proof.

Ling Ruo sneered and said, "I was reluctant to drink it for ten years, but I gave it all to the sixth elder brother, are you really generous?" ”

Zhong Shangyu smiled: "The slave also wants to help the sixth elder brother, in addition, if you are not afraid of the concubine's surprise, it is also a blessing for the slave to be able to please the sixth elder brother, don't you say?" ”

"Mother." Dai Jiashi reminded softly beside him: "The concubine feels that what Zhong Shang said is not quite the truth, and Concubine Jing is long gone, so she can't interrogate whether his words are true or false. ”

Ling Ruo nodded quietly, "Zhong Shang, is there any tea left?" ”

"No, all the minions were given to the sixth elder brother." Speaking of this, Zhong Shang rolled his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Niangniang, but what happened?" ”

Ling Ruoliu's eyebrows frowned slightly, although she suspected that there was something wrong with the tea that Zhong Shang handed over to Hongzhan, but it was always just a guess, and it was not suitable to say it at this moment.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that there have been a lot of things in Xianfu Palace in the past two days, and I heard that the sixth elder brother got a lot of Lushan cloud tea from you, and the palace came to ask for a while, after all, this kind of tribute tea is not something that is available, especially a slave. But since it was rewarded by Concubine Jing in the past, it is another matter. Alright, nothing more, go ahead with your business. ”

After that, she turned around and left, which surprised Dai Jiashi next to her, didn't she just say that you don't believe Zhong Shang lightly, why did she leave in a blink of an eye, is it just that? But now is not the time to ask these questions, so I can only follow quickly.

After the group left, Qian Moduo said with a strange expression: "Why doesn't our family know that Concubine Jing has rewarded you with such good tea, and she has rewarded so much?" ”

Zhong Shang said casually: "It was all ten years ago, I didn't come to the Internal Affairs Office at that time, of course you don't know, besides, I haven't drunk that tea once since I got it, except for myself, no one else knows." ”

Qian Moduo just asked casually, and didn't take it too seriously, but Dai Jia's heart was like a cat scratching, scratching her heart very much, and after she got out of the Internal Affairs Office, she quickly asked: "Niangniang, why are you ......?"

"Shh Ling Ruo made a silent gesture, and after glancing around to make sure that there was no one, she said to Yang Hai: "Stay here, if the surname Zhong comes out, follow him immediately, see where he goes, be careful, don't be discovered." ”

Yang Hai nodded silently, and when Ling Ruo walked away again, he didn't follow, but found a hidden place to hide.

Dai Jiashi was made strange by this series of inexplicable things, "Niangniang, what are you going to do here?" ”

Ling Ruo sighed faintly, turned his head and said, "This palace knows that what Zhong Shang said may not be the truth, but since he dares to lie in front of this palace, he has the confidence that his lies will not be exposed, no matter how this palace asks, it is useless." ”

Dai Jiashi didn't expect this, but he still had doubts in his heart, "Even if this is the case, he shouldn't be let go so lightly, maybe he knows something, and how does the concubine think that the Lushan Yunwu Tea is not quite right." ”

"Even if the surname Zhong really hides something in the palace, with his identity and status, he can only be a chess piece in the hands of others at best, and he can't be the main messenger. Now that Bengong asked him this, he should have seen Bengong's suspicion of him, what would he do if he was replaced by Concubine Cheng and Zhong Shang? ”

"This ......" Dai Jiashi thought carefully for a while, revealing a hint of abruptness, "The concubine understands, Niangniang left Yang Hai behind, waiting for Zhong Shang to take the initiative to take us to find the person who made him the master." ”
