It can be seen that Concubine Qi really doesn't like Gu Zhixing very much, Su Mian is actually a little helpless, even if his father and brother died in the war, but it wasn't Gu Zhixing who killed them with his own hands, Concubine Qi can't treat Gu Zhixing as an enemy?

But these words were just what Su Mian was thinking in her heart, and she didn't ask in front of Concubine Qi. Although the other party's tone suddenly became unfriendly, Su Mian had a request for her now, and he could only answer her question hard.

"It turns out that the concubine has also heard of these rumors, but in fact, most of them are made up nonsense, and you can't completely believe them. I do live in the prince's mansion now, and thanks to the prince's care, I can act more freely in Xisheng now. ”

Now if she wants to explain her relationship with Gu Zhixing to the concubine, Su Mian is still slightly embarrassed, in such a world now, she and Gu Zhixing don't know how to explain the relationship between the two, and others can't understand it, let alone a concubine who is already prejudiced against Gu Zhixing in her heart.

And now it's a little late, the concubine has already recognized the relationship between Su Mian and Gu Zhixing, and her attitude has changed one hundred and eighty degrees.

No matter what Su Mian answered, she had already looked away, pretending to be inadvertently fiddling with the Buddhist beads in her hand, and no longer paying attention to the meaning of Su Mian's words.

Su Mian was treated with such a cold face, and she had no idea for a while, so she could only peek at Father-in-law Zhang on the side. Of course, Grandpa Zhang knew what Su Mian meant, but this Concubine Qi had a bad temper, and she didn't suffer much from her on weekdays, but now if it weren't for Miss Su, Grandpa Zhang really didn't want to deal with her more.

But knowing that if today's things can't be done, the emperor will definitely punish himself in the future, and Miss Su is really for the emperor, for the sake of the entire harem, Gonggong Zhang can only step forward to play a round with a smile on his face.

"Concubine, Miss Su came to see you today, mainly to ask the concubine if everything she eats and wears in the harem is okay now, are the people lazy? If there are some disobedient people, the concubine can tell us now, and we will punish them well! ”

Father-in-law Zhang said politely, but unfortunately the concubine just glanced up at him coldly, and didn't even bother to answer the questions in his words.

Su Mian saw that this Concubine Qi was so difficult to deal with, and immediately regretted it, no wonder Gu Zhixing and Father-in-law Zhang didn't want to let them see her just now, and it was really not so easy to get along with.

But when I think of a lot of things in the harem now. I don't know at all, if I do this head-on, I don't know how much time and energy it will take, it's a waste!

If I had the time, I might as well purify some combustible ice or make a few more trips to the academy that is now being built.

Thinking of this, Su Mian didn't care whether Concubine Qi would be more disgusted with herself, so she could only speak again, with a smile on her face and a sincere expression.

"I heard before that the concubine and the prince seem to have some misunderstandings, but the prince is a good person now, he has been doing his best to support the emperor, and now that the Western Holy Kingdom is peaceful and peaceful, I also hope that the concubine can let go of her prejudice against the prince. At least in the case of the harem, we also hope that you can benefit. ”

Unexpectedly, Su Mian was different from other people, and she didn't talk about him with herself, Concubine Qi suddenly looked up to Su Mian a little, and was willing to put her eyes on her again. It's just that he kept looking up and down, which made Su Mian still feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"Now that you live in the prince's mansion, you naturally want to speak for him. Anyway, it's all old things, how can this palace care more about him? Now that you've come here, tell me exactly what you want me to do. ”

Although Concubine Qi was relieved in her words, her tone was indeed not friendly at all, but since the other party had already picked up her words, Su Mian could only answer stubbornly.

"Now the concubine should know that the emperor is still young, and there are no concubines in the palace yet, and many palaces do not have a throne now. In this way, many palace people are lazy, and the atmosphere in the palace is loose for a while, which really shouldn't be. ”

Su Mian said while looking at Concubine Qi's expression, only to see that the other party was careless, as if he was not interested in what Su Mian said, and he didn't feel confused, it can be seen that the atmosphere in the harem is really bad now.

But Concubine Qi has a bad temper, and no matter how lazy those palace people are, they don't dare to anger her too much. But this is a palace anyway, if it continues like this, what kind of system will it become? Su Mian said what she thought in her heart at once.

"Although I have now promised the emperor to help him rectify the harem in the shortest possible time, the harem personnel are complicated, and I don't even enter the palace many times on weekdays, which is really a little difficult for me. So I came here today to ask Niangniang if she can help. ”

After Su Mian finished speaking, a different miracle finally appeared on Concubine Qi's face, but Su Mian felt that the other party was mocking herself, with a smile on her face, and her eyes were full of disdain.

"Let Hongu help you? If it was ten years ago, the main palace did not manage the harem with the queen of the day. And now that time has passed, the days of this palace have been accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green lantern in the past few years, and now you let this palace help you rectify the harem, but this palace really does not have this ability. ”

had long expected that Concubine Qi would refuse, Su Mian was not in a hurry, straightened her waist and continued to find a way to persuade the other party, no matter how difficult the other party was to deal with, since they were all here today, Su Mian could not return in vain.

"Where is Niangniang, in addition to the emperor in the harem now, only Niangniang can be regarded as a serious master. Niangniang knows the rules of the palace best, I am afraid that she knows much more than those housekeepers, if Niangniang is willing to help, she will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Su Mian's eyes were shining, and she did speak quite sweetly, but Concubine Qi didn't keep a cold face, but she didn't show that she was willing to help Su Mian.

"It's really a good thing to want to rectify the harem, those palace people are used to it. On weekdays, the emperor is often in the imperial study, and he doesn't even set foot in the back garden twice a month. However, there are so many areas that they have overlooked, and it is really difficult to rectify them now. ”

Su Mian still knew about this, but seeing that Concubine Qi was willing to discuss the affairs of the harem with her, Su Mian felt that there was hope for this matter, and listened carefully, for fear of missing any important information.

Concubine Qi seemed to suddenly think of something, with a slightly mysterious smile on her face, she put down the Buddhist beads in her hand, and looked up at Su Mian's expression, but Su Mian felt as if she was going to test herself.

"Thinking about it, there is another matter, Grandpa Zhang knows it, but he hasn't told Miss Su, right? Nowadays, in order to be lazy, these palace people have made up a lot of appalling rumors, some of which are becoming more and more intense as if they were true. In this way, they have more reasons to be lazy. ”

Appalling rumors? Su Mian hadn't heard of this before, and turned her head to look at Father-in-law Zhang beside her suspiciously, only to see that Father-in-law Zhang's expression was slightly embarrassed, and he didn't seem to be particularly clear.

Concubine Qi was interested in each other, and wanted to ask herself if Qiaoqiao Su Mian had the ability, so she deliberately changed those rumors to other little girls. I'm afraid I'm too scared to care anymore.

"For example, the palace maids who need to be on duty every night in each palace and each courtyard, according to the rules of the palace before, the palace lamps must be lit for twenty-four hours a day, and someone must be on duty at night. But then there were rumors of haunting in the harem, and the more it spread, the more mysterious it became, and they didn't want to stay at night. ”

Haunted! When Su Mian heard Concubine Qi say this, she was already scared, she was most afraid of these things on weekdays!

Although she and Gu Zhixing were able to come to this world, they already liked strange things the most, but Su Mian always didn't notice it, but was afraid of something that didn't happen.

Seeing Su Mian's face change suddenly, Concubine Qi seemed to be quite happy, and deliberately processed those rumors again and told them to Su Mian.

"They all say that the palace maids on the night shift always hear some strange sounds, like a pot of boiling hot soup. Some people say it's the sound of a hot pan in hell. Presumably Miss Su has also heard that if a person does something wrong, he will go to eighteen layers of hell after death, but he will have to go through the oil pot. ”

Su Mian didn't know why. This Concubine Qi obviously holds a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, but she can say so many words. In this hot weather, my back was cold, and goosebumps were scared, but I could only pretend to be calm.

"Now that the concubine says so, then those rumors must be false, these palace people are really too much, in order to be lazy, they even dare to make up such big words, it seems that it is indeed time to rectify and rectify!"

Su Mian's tone was also a little more serious, but Concubine Qi saw that she was obviously frightened just now, and her current appearance didn't seem like she really didn't believe these rumors, she was simply quite bold, but more like she was pretending to be calm. With the other party's performance, Concubine Qi tacitly felt that this time she could see the joke.

Of course, now Concubine Qi doesn't have a definite answer, she and Su Mian just met for the first time today, and they haven't been talking for an hour, and they can't listen to many things, so they have to really see how the female Su Mian can do.

"This palace thinks so too, but this palace hasn't taken care of the harem affairs for a long time, and now I don't want to bother to find out. Since Miss Su wants to let the palace help you, then ask Miss Su to solve this matter first, so that the people in the harem will not be panicked, and it will be much easier to manage it later. ”

Hearing that this Concubine Qi not only did not choose to help herself, but even arranged a chore for herself, and actually asked herself to investigate the rumors of haunting in the harem, Su Mian's palms were scared into a cold sweat. But on the surface, he can only pretend to be calm and don't want to show weakness, and he doesn't want others to see that he is actually quite scared.
