In the past two days, Yifang asked Zili and Tengling to pay attention to it, and inquired about the situation of the four family members and the palace of the king.

Like her, the four family members from Chang'an are named Qi Zhi, Xia Liyun, Wen Jiayi, and Liu Rong, and they all live in the four courtyards next to her. In the original palace of the Dynasty, there were also Queen Ouyang Ziluo, Mrs. Cao Xiyu and the two eighth sons Du Mengning and Yuan Qing.

Among them, the queen Ziluo is the younger sister of Ouyang Ziqian, the prince of the court, and I heard that her temperament is extremely gentle, but she always loves to be indecisive and is often taken advantage of, which is also disliked by the empress dowager Bo, who is a heroine among women. Mrs. Cao Xiyu is also indifferent to fame and fortune, and she only wants to keep her daughter to live a stable life, while the two eight sons are even more silent and do not like to compete for favor.

The concubines of the palace live in harmony like this, but it is very different from the situation in Chang'an that does not fight to the death, probably because the king does not often care about the harem. I heard that the original king was obsessed with national affairs and completely ignored the concubines in the harem, and under the urging of the Empress Dowager Bo, he gave birth to four sons with the queen, and had a daughter with Mrs. Cao and Du Meiren. Now that the Empress Dowager Bo has grandchildren, she is too lazy to care about the acting king's favor in the harem, and the acting king has paid attention to the major affairs of the court again, and has not come to the harem for a long time.

"Tengling, did Xia Liyun start to make trouble today?" Yifang leisurely drank tea and asked casually. For three or two days in a row, in the evening, Xia Liyun would break her thoughts in the courtyard next to her, and occasionally scold the maid a few words, which almost became a specific habit.

"I've been scolding for a long time, and the slave and maid have closed the doors and windows of the courtyard and the palace, so that the girl can be clean and clean?"

Yifang smiled and shook his head: "No need, Tengling, there is something to be handed over to you today." ”

Teng Ling watched Yifang wave to her, so he leaned his ear over and listened to her words in his ear.

"This is a good method, the girl is really a good plan." Teng Ling sighed heartily.

"It's all clear!" Yifang put down the teacup, "You go and tell Zili, let her cooperate with you, and we will be able to help Xia Liyun lure the acting king over tonight." ”

"No."

After informing Zili of Yifang's plan, the two began to act separately. They had already inquired, and at this time in a few days, there would be palace maids in the dining room to deliver food, Xia Liyun loved to drink soup, and the palace maids who delivered soup at this time were afraid that they were already on the way.

Teng Ling changed into the clothes of the palace maid in the dining room in the palace, pretended to be the palace maid who delivered soup, and bowed her head and walked into the courtyard where Xia Liyun lived. She was now in the yard pinching the blooming flowers, muttering sentence after sentence in her mouth. Teng Ling shook his head, how could a woman with such a posture and mind compare with her own master.

"Miss Xia, the soup is here, drink it while it's hot!"

"I know to drink soup every day, when will the acting king summon us?" Xia Liyun threw the flower on the ground and crushed it with her foot, staring at the bowl of soup with a wrinkled face.

"Girl, don't get your hopes up, our acting king and even the queen's mother rarely go there, how can it be your turn! You're better to stay here, don't mess around. ”

"What do you say?! What do you mean? Do you say that I am not as good as your queen? Xia Liyun's temper really exploded at one point.

"The queen is gentle and beautiful, and a person like you is naturally incomparable." Tengling continued to provoke her.

"You!" Xia Liyun clenched her fists, "So what? I am the son of the family given by the Queen Mother to the acting king, no matter what, I am the master of the eight classics, and I can never compare to a lowly servant girl like you! ”

"Yes, you are now the master, but unfortunately you don't like the king, and you have no future in this life. As soon as the king saw you, he felt that his face was hateful, and he couldn't say if he directly gave a bowl of soup to poison him! ”

"You! You're damned! "Xia Liyun is extremely angry.

She waved her hand and knocked over the soup bowl that Tengling was holding, and wanted to slap it, but fortunately, Tengling quickly took a step back and dodged.

"Miss Xia was angry, and collided that the girl was a slave, so the slave went down to change someone and sent a new bowl of soup to the girl." After Teng Ling said this quickly, he turned around and left quickly, so that the angry Xia Liyun didn't see her face clearly at all.

At the same time, Zili on the other side was also carrying out her mission. She hid on the road from the dining room to Xia Liyun's courtyard, pretending to bump into it by chance, and successfully stopped the little palace maid who brought soup to Xia Liyun.

"Are you alright?" Zili asked pretending to be concerned.

The palace maid shook her head with a sad face: "It's okay." ”

"Is this sister going to deliver food to the family members who came from Chang'an?" Zili deliberately took the initiative to mention, "I just came out of there too." ”

The palace maid really raised her head: "You are also going to deliver food?" ”

Zili nodded, but lowered her chin a little to prevent her from seeing her face clearly: "I'm going to bring snacks to that Xia girl, hey, she sneered at me and hit me a few times!" ”

"yes, I really don't want to do this errand, but the dining room is bullying us newcomers." When the palace maid saw the person who seemed to be suffering from the same illness as herself, she suddenly felt a little cordial in her heart, and said with a lot of mouths, "Those family members from Chang'an have a bad temper, and we have to be said a few words every time we go to deliver food." However, one of them, Miss Dou, is not only gentle, but also often gives us food. The others were embarrassed, especially that Xia girl, who really tossed us enough. ”

"Who's to say it isn't!" Zili pretended to understand, "I was just blasted out of the yard by her, and I almost fell into the mud." ”

"Are you alright?" The little palace maid looked at Zili with concern, and there were indeed some mud lumps on her body.

"It's okay now, just keep going like this, until one day she will be tossed to death." Zili said indignantly, "If you have the opportunity, you must teach that Xia girl a lesson." ”

"I think so too, but they are family members from Chang'an, and they will be the concubines of the acting king in the future, who of us can fight them?"

"If you can't fight on the surface, you can still do it secretly!" Zili saw that she was hooked, so he seduced her, "At least let her suffer a little and breathe a sigh of relief for our bullied sisters." ”

"You're right." The palace maid nodded in agreement.

"Are you going to deliver soup to Miss Xia now?" Zili pretended to have just seen it.

"yes!"

"I have an idea, we can teach her a lesson now." Zili looked at the soup bowl, "We can put something in this soup to make the originally delicious soup difficult to swallow, and it is best to make the Naxia girl vomit with nausea after taking a sip." ”

"That's a good idea." The little palace maid's eyes lit up, but she immediately frowned again, "But if the matter is big, we will be punished if we are found out." ”

"What's so difficult about this, let's prepare two bowls of soup, and after Miss Xia drinks it, you quickly replace it with the normal bowl, so that you don't know it." Zili took out a packet of medicinal powder from his body, "This is a powder made of Coptis chinensis, rhubarb, Atractylodes, and Sophora radix, and it is very bitter when added to the soup." ”

"Okay, then, I'll go prepare another bowl of soup now." The little palace maid took the medicine powder and went back to the dining room happily.

Zili looked at her back and smiled, and was originally ready to explain to her the origin of this medicinal powder, so as to make her believe it even more, but who knew that this little palace maid's dissatisfaction with Xia Liyun had reached this level, and she actually took the medicinal powder and left. But it's a good thing to make their plans a little smoother.

The little palace maid moved quickly, and after preparing an extra bowl of soup, she hurried to Xia Liyun's courtyard. At this time, Xia Liyun was still angry about the words that Fang Cai Tengling said, and when she saw the little palace maid coming over with soup, she gave her a roll of her eyes.

"Miss Xia, please drink soup." The little palace maid estimated that it was the first time she had done such a thing, and she was very apprehensive in her heart, and even her voice trembled a little when she spoke.

But it was her cringe-cating appearance that made Xia Liyun's mood a little better. In the past, when she was in the palace, she was a palace maid, and it was always the masters who called her back, and she was always cautious. Now that she is here, there are people who are afraid when they face her, which makes Xia Liyun very useful.

The mood is better, and the attitude towards this little palace maid has also eased. Xia Liyun made the soup without using a spoon at all, and drank it directly. As soon as the soup swirled on her tongue, she felt a strong bitter taste, almost choking her tears.

Xia Liyun reflexively spit out the soup, and was about to scold, when she suddenly remembered what Fang Cai Tengling said. She said that if the king disliked him, he might be given a bowl of soup to poison her. This soup tastes so strange, is there really poison in it?

Xia Liyun was shocked when she thought of this, and while picking her throat, her eyes widened in horror, pointing at the little palace maid: "You! You said! Is the king going to poison me? Isn't it? ”

When the little palace maid saw such a formation, she was frightened in an instant, and took a few steps back, for fear that Xia Liyun would do something irrational: "Miss Xia, don't talk nonsense. ”

"I didn't talk nonsense, it must be the acting king who wants to harm me, or, or maybe it's the Empress Dowager Bo? Or the queen? Xia Liyun felt that she was on the verge of death, and she was about to lose her breath, so she could only pinch her throat and babble nonsense.

"Isn't the girl uncomfortable? I'll report to the king and help you get a doctor. The little palace maid walked out of the courtyard quickly, and was about to report this strange scene to the acting king, but after taking two steps, she remembered Zili's instructions, so she hurriedly took advantage of the fact that there was no one left and right, and replaced the bowl of soup with normal.

After doing all this, she felt a little calmer. Not far away, Xia Liyun's shouting continued, and it seemed that her personal maid came out to persuade her, but she still couldn't persuade her. The little palace maid shook her head and quickened her pace to find the acting king to report.
