For the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, Tang Jingchen and Chang Xueli met almost every day, but they didn't mention the topic of that day very tacitly, the palace was full of eyes and ears, and it was easy to leak if they talked too much, and it would be great if they were heard.

And the matter of overthrowing the Queen Mother is not something that can be done by saying too much, and when you can't get the next step of evidence, there is no need to talk about it all day long.

So they don't care whether they are sincere or fake, they are very careful about all kinds of preparations for the birthday banquet, this move is not only to please the Queen Mother, but also to make her completely let down her guard and facilitate the next actions of the two.

"It's done, all the details have been finalized, let's go and report to the Queen Mother now." Chang Xueli said to Tang Jingchen that their relationship is much closer now.

As soon as they walked out of the main hall of Changchun Palace, Zhao Luzhu and Zhou Bao'er walked together, and the two of them saluted Chang Tang first, "Concubines and others see Guifei Niangniang, Concubine Jing Niangniang." ”

Chang Xueli smiled all over her face, still looking so peaceful and generous, "Hurry up, let's live in one palace, although this palace is the main seat, you don't have to be so polite, and Concubine Jing is the best one to get along with." ”

Zhou Bao'er smiled first: "Concubine Niangniang and Concubine Jing are the most approachable, concubines can live in the same palace with Concubine Jing, and they are fellow villagers with Concubine Jing, which is really a blessing from cultivation in the previous life." ”

"Oh? This is the first time I've heard of it. Chang Xueli said, and glanced at Tang Jingchen.

Tang Jingchen smiled faintly, "My ancestral hometown is indeed the same place as Baocai, but I am ashamed to say that since I was born, I have never set foot in my hometown." ”

She always felt that Zhou Bao'er was a little unscrupulous, and Chang Xueli was far less cordial to Zhou Bao'er than Zhao Luzhu, so she kept an eye on it, not wanting to be too close to Zhou Bao'er, so she was very distant.

Chang Xueli immediately understood, and her smile became deeper and deeper, "Since we have entered the palace, let alone our ancestral home, it is rare for our parents to go back once, but fortunately, the emperor's grace is vast, and I have promised sixteen provincial relatives next month, and I can finally meet my father and mother to talk about the joy of family." ”

Since the emperor made this will, the concubines in the palace are very much looking forward to it, and they are all counting the days, of course, only the concubines who are qualified to return to their parents' homes are in the capital, and those from other places cannot go back.

However, Zhou Bao'er and Zhao Luzhu's family are not in Beijing, and Zhou Bao'er's mood is becoming more and more depressed.

Zhao Luzhu said with a smile: "My father was very happy to hear the news, and immediately came to Beijing to buy a five-entry house, these days I am personally staring at the decoration, my grandmother, my mother, brother and sister-in-law are coming, the emperor has given me permission to go to the house to save relatives." ”

Zhou Bao'er glared at Zhao Luzhu, and said faintly: "It's good to have money in the family, and it's not an official, so you don't have to be restricted, you can go wherever you want." ”

She was actually sarcastic about Zhao Luzhu when she said this, because Zhou Baoer's father was a four-grade prefect.

Zhao Luzhu's expression was stagnant, and the smile on her face was also put away, if it was someone else, she might swallow this breath, but she is different, she has been favored since she was a child and now she is a nobleman, although her family is not as good as Zhou Baoer, but her position is higher than her.

So Zhao Luzhu immediately shot back, "Talented sister doesn't need to say it so sourly, my family is rich, my father is free, and even the emperor has promised it, what else do you have to say." ”

Zhou Bao'er was immediately angry.

Chang Xueli began to play a round again, "Okay, okay, let's say a few words, Bao'er, although you are not allowed to go back to save your relatives, but you are not alone, almost all of your recent batch are from other places, so you don't have to be sad and sad." ”

She smiled, "And your father is now the prefect, and if he rises to the top of the third grade, he may be able to be transferred to the capital at that time, and then it will be closer." ”

Zhou Bao'er immediately got up triumphantly and glanced at Zhao Luzhu with a show off.

Chang Xueli said to Zhao Luzhu again: "I heard that your family is now on the list of the Internal Affairs Office, and it will be the turn of the emperor to be elected next time, right?" ”

Zhao Luzhu smiled lively, "The concubine is really well-informed, there are no eight or nine points in this matter, there are always five or six points, my father has always wanted to be an imperial businessman, and now he will get his wish." ”

The corners of Chang Xueli's lips curled slightly, "It's not that the palace is well-informed, and the palace never deliberately inquires about this, isn't this the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother who is preparing for it now, and I have more contact with the people in the Internal Affairs Office, and I naturally hear more things." ”

Zhao Luzhu was stunned for a moment, and then her face was full of gratitude, and she gave Chang Xueli a blessing, "Yes, concubine, thank you for your teachings." ”

The harem is the most taboo to inquire about news at will, and it is even more taboo to discuss and spread it at will, Chang Xueli pointed at her by the way.

Zhou Bao'er was left aside, inevitably a little uncomfortable, if it was usual, Tang Jingchen would try to solve the siege, but now she is different, so she just stood aside lightly and reminded Chang Xueli, "It's time to report the details of the birthday banquet to the Queen Mother." ”

Chang Xueli immediately nodded, "Oh yes, this is a big deal. ”

Zhao Luzhu and Zhou Bao'er said in unison: "The concubines shouldn't disturb the mothers' business, it's the concubines who are negligent." ”

When she came to Cining Palace, Jin'er quietly greeted her and said with a smile: "The two mothers came unfortunately, the queen mother just took medicine and rested, it is better for the two mothers to go back first, and come back when the queen mother wakes up." ”

Chang Xueli hurriedly said: "No need, Bengong and Concubine Jing are waiting here." ”

While walking into the main hall and sitting down, she talked to Jin'er, "It's still customary to enter the palace to do things, you are the granddaughter of Mama Zhao Lan, and you must be reused by the Queen Mother." ”

Jin'er is very modest, "The slave and maid don't serve, but they just learn, but fortunately, the queen mother is merciful and lenient, and never easily punishes people, and the slave and maid are by the side of the queen mother to accompany her old man to relieve her boredom." ”

Tang Jingchen knew that it was Mama Zhao Lan who was ordered to go to the cold palace to poison Concubine Bao many years ago, although she knew that this matter had nothing to do with Jin'er, she couldn't treat her with a normal heart, so she just sat silently.

The topic of Chang Xueli's chat with Jin'er has shifted to Mama Zhao Lan, "When Mama Zhao Lan was in the palace in the past, we all got a lot of care from her, and now that she has gone out to raise her, the palace still misses her." ”

Jin'er hurriedly said: "It's a blessing for grandmother to be remembered." ”

"Although the Yingge girl next to the queen mother is married, she often goes to the palace to visit the queen mother, I wonder if Zhao Lan will enter the palace to visit the queen mother?" Chang Xueli asked casually.

Tang Jingchen's heart suddenly jumped.

Jin'er was unconscious, but there was a gloom in her eyes, "I heard that my grandmother was sick when she left the palace, and she has not been well, and the queen mother has rewarded a lot of precious medicinal materials, but it's a pity that the slave maid can't take care of her grandmother." ”
