Zhou Xiaoniang is also a woman after all, so naturally a woman's unique carefulness and sensitivity are indispensable. Chongzhen was anxious to have fun with Tian and Yuan, although there was a set of rhetoric, Zhou Xiaoniang still felt cold, and until Chongzhen's three successive holy decrees, she had not been completely freed.

Empress Zhang was most considerate of her mood at this time, shook her hand gently, and said, "He has already made you the queen, and the two of them are concubines." Alas, there is no way, this is the fate of our court women, and it is like this through the ages. ”

"Where love goes, what can you do as a concubine? How could this not be the case outside the court? Zhou Xiaoniang sighed, suddenly realized her gaffe, looked at Zhang Hou embarrassedly, and said: "At present, she is still in danger, Xiaoniang is like this, she really shouldn't be." ”

Empress Zhang hugged her shoulders tolerantly like a mother, and said: "If you don't get rid of Kewei, it is difficult to get out of danger, and thanks to his three holy decrees in succession, you should be able to exchange for a short period of peace." ”

Zhou Xiaoniang said worriedly: "What if Wei Zhongxian doesn't obey the order?" ”

Zhang Hou pondered: "Probably not, like all huge greed, Ke Wei's only hobby is to make money and power. The emperor's decree will certainly make them both reassuring and confused, and they will definitely be tempted.

However, they must also know that it is difficult to invite the emperor to favor without an inch of work. Therefore, I guess they must have done their best to prepare for the funeral of the Emperor of the Apocalypse first, and then they will try it. This not only cleared the emperor's mind, but also won us valuable time. ”

The words did not fall, but seeing that Empress Zhang's personal palace maid hurriedly came in, Shi Li said: "Empress Qiyu, Princess Qiyu, Wei Qianguo began to take charge of the funeral of the first emperor as expected, and acted solemnly and rigorously. ”

Zhou Xiaoniang knew that there were four personal palace maids after Zhang, and they were the most loyal. In order to grasp the dynamics of Kewei in time, Zhang Hou often sent them out to inquire about the news. Before Emperor Tianqi died of illness, three of them disappeared inexplicably, and now there is only this one left, and Empress Zhang wants to love her daughter as much as she does.

But because she had lived in the palace for a long time and was familiar with the situation in the palace, after Zhou Xiaoniang entered the palace with King Xin, she urgently needed to strengthen intelligence work, but Empress Zhang was reluctant to send her out. It wasn't until Zhou Xiaoniang understood the situation and transferred four palace maids from King Xin's mansion that Empress Zhang had palace maids by her side.

This palace maid is actually alert, and the information she has obtained is very accurate and accurate. Zhou Xiaoniang secretly liked it, and when she finished speaking, she was already relieved and looked at her approvingly.

Zhang Hou said angrily: "Bold slave, the emperor has issued an order, and the princess is canonized, but you don't know the severity of the nonsense?" ”

The palace maid also called Shun Kou, and when she saw Zhang Hou, she was furious, knowing that she had accidentally said the wrong thing, she hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said again and again: "Please Queen Mother, please forgive the slave and maid for their unintentional mistakes." ”

Zhang Hou wanted to say more, but Zhou Xiaoniang had stepped forward to help her up in person, and comforted: "It's not surprising that it was unintentional." As he spoke, he turned to Zhang Hou, saw her with a solemn face, and said with a smile: "Between us, why is the imperial sister-in-law so bothered?" ”

Empress Zhang waited for the palace maid to thank her and said goodbye, and then said solemnly: "The imperial sister-in-law was also the middle palace, and the imperial sister-in-law knows that the middle palace is the head of the six palaces, and the middle palace is unstable, and the six palaces will be chaotic." Throughout the dynasties, the chaos of the six palaces will inevitably affect the government, and our dynasty is no exception. Therefore, the respect of the middle palace must not be sloppy. The younger brother and sister may not be used to it, but the imperial sister-in-law advises you to have enough of the shelves in the middle palace from now on. ”

Zhou Xiaoniang knew that she had good intentions, and she also had personal feelings about herself as a middle palace, and what she said was a good word, but she still said: "What the imperial sister-in-law said is very true, the stability of the harem is very important, and Xiaoniang will do her best." But the little lady still thinks that Enwei is respectful, and she can't just rely on putting on a show......"

As he spoke, he felt nauseous and couldn't help but vomit again.

Zhang Houyuan also had the intention of being tempted, not wanting her to have such insight, and admired her more and more. Seeing her like this, although she knew that it was a pregnancy reaction, she still came over busily, stroked her back, and said, "At this time, you should be careful when you are tired." ”

She felt a little better, helped Zhang Hou to stand up slowly, and said firmly: "It's okay, don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm not so delicate." ”

Zhang Hou sighed secretly and said, "It's also a coincidence, just catch up." ”

At this time, Xiao Huan'er came in and said: "Qi Yu master, in accordance with the holy decree, the eunuchs and palace maids of the Xinwang Mansion have entered the palace and are in place. ”

She let out an "oh" and asked, "Is there anything wrong?" ”

Xiaohuan'er said: "These people are all personally trained by the emperor and the master, all of them are monkey spirits, after the original ones are dismissed, they are afraid of provoking the dissatisfaction of the emperor and the master, and they don't even leave a little gap, they are in place, where will something go wrong?" ”

After speaking, he suddenly realized that although he praised the emperor and the queen, he also had a derogatory connotation, and couldn't help but glance at Zhou Xiaoniang, lowered his head and didn't speak, waiting for her to be punished.

Empress Zhang and Zhou Xiaoniang naturally heard it, but Empress Zhang has always liked her and is reluctant to blame; Zhou Xiaoniang asked as if she remembered something: "Have you changed all the things in Kunning Palace?" ”

Seeing that she didn't say anything to blame, Xiao Huan'er secretly screamed in her heart that she was lucky, how dare she slack off, and hurriedly said: "It's changed, all of you believe in the king's mansion, and the master can speak boldly and confidently in the future." ”

Zhou Xiaoniang almost said to herself, "That's good, that's good", and suddenly said urgently: "Slow, what do you mean by this?" ”

Xiaohuan'er knew what he was referring to, and looked at Zhang Hou in embarrassment.

Zhang Hou said: "The imperial sister-in-law has just said that the respect of the middle palace must not be sloppy. Kunning Palace has always been the place of the middle palace, and after the imperial sister-in-law was abolished, how could she dare to be greedy? Ciqing Palace has always been the residence of the Empress Dowager, and it has been empty, just right for the imperial sister-in-law. ”

Zhou Xiaoniang hurriedly said: "If the imperial sister-in-law is like this, the little lady will never go to Kunning Palace." With that, he sat down with a non-negotiable firmness.

Zhang Hou was also anxious and said, "Okay, aren't you trying to force the imperial sister-in-law to death?" As he spoke, he slammed into the pillar in the palace......

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaoniang panicked and stepped forward to hug her. Helpless, Zhang Hou was desperate, Zhou Xiaoniang couldn't hold it back, and it was thanks to Xiaohuan'er who came up to help, so she finally couldn't move forward.

Zhang Hou said helplessly: "If you don't go along with my wishes, you can save me for a while, and you can save me for a lifetime?" ”

She hurriedly cried and responded: "The little lady is obedient to the imperial sister-in-law." As he spoke, he refused to let go.

Zhang Houshen was deeply moved by her affection and righteousness, and said coquettishly: "Okay, the imperial sister-in-law promised you, you should let go, otherwise, the imperial sister-in-law will be strangled to death by you if she doesn't want to die." ”

Hearing this, she hurriedly let go of her hand, personally helped Zhang and went to sit, turned to Xiaohuan'er and said: "Go, everything in Ciqing Palace must be arranged according to the specifications of Kunning Palace, and the eunuchs and palace maids will be replaced in the whole class, and all the deficiencies will be transferred from Kunning Palace." ”

Xiao Huan'er said in embarrassment: "It's all taken away, what should I do here in Kunning Palace?" ”

She said: "You don't need to worry, this palace has its own way." Oh, by the way, from now on, you will follow, if the imperial sister-in-law has the slightest mistake, the palace will ask you. ”

Zhang Hou had long liked Xiaohuan'er, and when he heard this, he smiled and said, "Okay, this gift is good, I accepted it." As he spoke, he got up and grabbed Xiao Huan'er's hand, walked straight out, and said as he walked: "Don't bother with the rest, you seize this rare opportunity to study your plan." ”

The big plan that Zhang Hou said is naturally the rectification of the harem. Zhang Hou also wanted to rectify back then, but he was repeatedly persecuted by Kewei, but he was powerless. She told Zhou Xiaoniang more than once, and Zhou Xiaoniang thought so.

Zhou Xiaoniang understood her thoughts, and after seeing her leave, she turned around and went to work. By this point, she had clearly had a complete plan. But this was her first plan after entering the palace, she didn't want to be hasty, she wanted to fully listen to Zhang Hou's opinion, and got up and came straight to Ciqing Palace.
