Ziqian had all his thoughts on Liu Heng's safety, even if he saw the woman in costume who stopped the carriage, he just glanced at it and didn't pay too much attention. As for the woman Liu Heng said, she didn't see it at all.

"I didn't see the other woman." Ziqian said honestly, "Isn't it more beautiful than the girl who saved people?" ”

"The looks of the two are equal, but this king prefers the woman who saved the little girl." Liu Heng explained, "Just now, when she rushed over the carriage, she glanced at the wooden cart next to her, she originally had a chance to save the king. If it were an ordinary person, a noble man in a luxurious carriage, and a lonely little girl, which one do you think you would choose to save? ”

"Of course, it's to save the nobleman in the carriage, although the little girl is also pitiful, but what benefits can be gained by saving the nobleman." Ziqian replied to human nature.

"Therefore, the king liked the woman even more, and she must have thought that if the carriage overturned, the person would be injured at most, and would not be in danger of his life. But the carriage crashed into the little girl, which would have caused even more serious consequences, so she saved the little girl. Liu Heng's smile deepened, "It's good that she can save people spontaneously, but it's even more rare for people who need to be saved after weighing the pros and cons." ”

"On this day, the king met two women who could sacrifice themselves to save others at the same time, which is also a rare thing!" Ziqian also sighed.

Liu Heng smiled meaningfully and said, "Don't you see it? Another woman dressed up had been waiting there early in the morning, just waiting for an opportunity to appear in front of the king. ”

"What?" Ziqian was surprised for a moment, but he didn't notice it at all.

"Quite simply, the woman's dress was too grand." Liu Heng explained, "Ordinary people, both men and women, will choose light and easy clothes when they go out, but the woman is dressed in cumbersome clothes. It's really good-looking, but it's too deliberate, and even the action of saving people is extremely elegant, as if it was trained in advance. and the jade pendant that she deliberately fell from her body when she was leaving, this plan to capture the past is too obvious, so that people can see through it at a glance. ”

"The king means that the woman is deliberately trying to attract the king's attention?"

"I don't know if she wants to attract the attention of this king, but her every move is designed." Liu Heng affirmed, "No matter what that woman wants to do, she can't succeed now." ”

"Then the king, do we want to follow the woman to check, in case it is Empress Lu's plan again......"

Li Heng interrupted Ziqian's words: "It's okay, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it." Besides, such a clumsy plan would definitely not have been thought up by Empress Lu. ”

"No."

"However, the woman who saved the little girl, you go and find her and bring her into the palace." Liu Heng added, "She picked up the blood-colored jade pendant, wearing a pure white dress and a pair of butterfly hairpins on her head, she didn't seem to be a local." I'm about to come here to play, and I should stay in a nearby inn, so I can start looking for it from these aspects. ”

Ziqian was stunned for a moment, the king just glanced at it twice, and he could remember so many details, but he really cared about the woman. It seems that this girl who travels will soon be a certain lady in the palace.

"When looking for her, check her origin by the way." Liu Heng instructed again.

Ziqian was puzzled: "What does the king mean?" ”

"In the face of an out-of-control carriage, even many men are dodging and retreating, but she has the courage to save people, and she can calmly analyze the pros and cons at the last moment, maybe she is not an ordinary woman."

Ziqian nodded, it seems that Ziluo is right, the king is indeed a cautious person.

After resting in the inn for a day, it was time to go to the palace to meet the king. Qin Hong took Empress Lu's warrant, and under the greeting of the special eunuchs of the palace of the king, he handed over the five family members to them, and thus completed the task of escorting.

But when they entered the palace and their accommodation was arranged, none of the five of them saw the face of the acting king. They were ordered to visit the acting king, but they happened to meet the acting king out of the palace, so they were only led to meet the empress dowager Bo.

Empress Dowager Bo has always been at odds with Empress Lu, and naturally she didn't like the people sent by Empress Lu, so she only hurriedly admonished them and told them to abide by the rules, and then sent them away.

"What's going on? I thought we'd be treated here! I didn't even have snacks and tea, really. One of the family members complained.

"This family member must be cautious, if the Queen Mother hears this, she will also suffer some hardships." The eunuch next to him immediately reminded him tremblingly.

These family members were all selected from the palace maids, and they used to be slaves and maids for several years, but now they are still flying on the branches, and they have drawn a gap between themselves and the slaves. They thought they were on top and wanted to distance themselves from the minions, so they commanded them not to give them a good look.

Along the way, the four family members did not listen to the eunuch's reminders, laughing and discussing the palace, while guessing the appearance of the acting king. provoked the eunuch to follow behind him, while wiping the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve.

"I've heard in Chang'an City before that the acting king is the best-looking one among all the princes and kings."

"Really? Is there a Gu Xiangshi who lives in the Changting Hall that looks good? ”

Suddenly, when he heard someone mention Gu Wenzhou, Yifang's heart ached, and his hand involuntarily stroked the butterfly hairpin on his head, and his face sank.

"When the acting king went back to Chang'an, I saw it from afar, and Gu Xiangshi was on par, and many palace maids deliberately ran over to take a peek!"

"We are different from those lowly palace maids, we came here to marry the acting king as a concubine."

"Yes, I heard that the acting king already has a queen, a lady and two eight sons, and four sons and two princesses!"

"So what? If the acting king sees me, he will surely throw them all out of the clouds, and I will have a son by then. ”

The eunuch who was walking behind moved his lips to stop them from continuing, but remembered that he had been humiliated by the previous reminder, so he shut up again.

The eunuch took them to their respective quarters and settled them, and the maids of the palace came up to serve them. The last one to be delivered was Yifang, and the eunuch turned to leave, but was stopped by her.

Yifang walked up to the eunuch and motioned to Teng Ling to quietly hand him the money he had prepared in the morning: "This attendant, we are new to the palace, and we are not familiar with everything in the palace, so we will ask the attendant to take care of it in the future." ”

The eunuch's eyes lit up, and he raised his head and took a closer look at the Yi room, and suddenly thought that she was silent when the family members were gossiping, and now she is so sensible, so she nodded with satisfaction: "The girl has just arrived in the palace now, and she has not yet decided on a position, so she just has to wait quietly." But the old slave looked at it, and with the appearance of a girl, she would definitely be able to seal a high position. ”

"Thank you for your care, I will have to rely on you in the future."

"You're welcome, girl." The eunuch took two steps and then turned around, "The king will definitely like this girl's temperament." ”

After entering the room, Yifang and Tengling talked for a while, and Zili walked in with the door.

"I've checked everything around here, and there's nothing out of the ordinary." Zili has always been cautious.

Yifang glanced out: "Don't worry, this is just a temporary residence, and it will change places in a few days." ”

"How do you know?" Zili wondered. She has been following Yifang since she entered the palace, and she has not heard anyone say that she will change her residence in the future.

"The eunuch just said that the position is now undecided. Since we don't have a position, we naturally can't live in the palace where the concubines live, but we are the people sent by the Empress Dowager Lu, and we will definitely not be left to dry all the time, even if it is just superficial work, we have to do it. So in the future, when I have a position, I will move to the residence of the concubine. ”

"But as far as the slave maid knows, after the family enters the palace, they must accept the king's summons as soon as possible, and the acting king should know that the family members will arrive in the next few days, so how can they go out at this time?" Teng Ling felt strange.

"The acting king was in the palace and did not go out." Yifang affirmed, "He just wants to give us a dismissal, lest we rely on the support of the Empress Dowager Lu and act mischief in the palace of the king." ”

"I see."

"If I'm right, no one will pay attention to us for the next few days. Not only will the acting king not summon him, but there will be no news from the Empress Dowager Bo, and the queen and other concubines will also treat it as if there were no of us. ”

"So what do we do?" Teng Ling panicked suddenly. She stayed in the palace for a long time, and knew what would happen to the unfavored concubines.

"Wait." Yifang was not in a hurry at all, "After ten days and half a month, the acting king will slowly summon him." During this time, we ate and drank and did not have to do anything else. ”

"But if we don't do anything, I'm afraid that the other family members will ......" Teng Ling was a little worried.

"I just want them to make more trouble." Yifang hooked the corners of his mouth.

"What does that mean?" Zili was also puzzled at this time.

"They made a fuss because they wanted the entire palace to know that the family members sent by Chang'an had arrived, and they were not summoned by the king. If the matter breaks out, the acting king is worried that it will reach the eyes and ears of the Empress Dowager Lu arranged in the court, so he will quickly set a position for us, and I will also sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”

"What if they don't make trouble?"

"If you don't make trouble, it's just a matter of waiting a few more days." Yifang didn't care, "It's just that with their temperament, it's only a matter of time before they get into trouble, and if it's fast, something will happen tonight." ”

Yifang's guess was really good, and in the evening, the next yard didn't wait for the king for a long time, and it began to make a fuss. But these family members used to be just palace maids, and no matter how noisy they were, they just talked a few more words, and when they were tired of talking, they went back to rest.

After two days in a row, Yifang felt that the time was almost up, so he planned to add another fire to their uproar, hoping that this fire could help the family next to him attract the attention of the acting king.
