Chapter 217: The Beginning

Soon after, the emperor's close monitoring of Bai Yuexi's family was known to Feng Wu; A few days ago, the emperor also issued an order to promote the more senior Hongyang in the Man Dance Division, Mingli is the assistant in the affairs of the Man Dance Division, and secretly it is also a pair of eyes that the emperor placed next to Bai Youhan; Combined with Duan Yulin's abnormal attitude towards Deng Zhenxuan, it was not difficult for Feng Wu to guess that he was beginning to guard against the Jin Palace.

Feng Wu, who came to the imperial garden for a walk, stopped in front of a clump of marigolds and stood silently. In autumn, the garden becomes a world of chrysanthemums. Although it is not as lively as the spring and summer flowers, it also has a light and elegant and quiet taste.

"What are you thinking?" Miao Qing tightened her cloak for her master, so as not to be invaded by the frost. Feng Wu has been working hard at both ends of the harem recently, and Miaoqing is worried that her body will not be able to bear it, and she is even more afraid that she will be tired and sick.

Feng Wu casually picked a blooming marigold and played: "The palace is thinking, sometimes the harem is indispensable for the urging of many things in the previous dynasty. Hongu felt that it was time to completely clean the harem. ”

"Which concubine does Niangniang want to start with?" Miaoqing guessed that Deng Jixuan, who had a close connection with the Jin Palace, would inevitably bear the brunt.

As if sensing what Miao Qing was thinking, Feng Wu smiled: "Deng Zhenxuan's palace will move sooner or later, but not immediately." Some things need to be done gradually. Don't rush things. ”

"The mother is taught. The big meal should be eaten at the back to make it more delicious! "Miaoqing understands, the master wants to borrow a knife to kill people.

"Not bad...... This flower is good, and the intention is good. Order someone to pick a handful and send it to Zhaoyang Palace. Feng Wu threw the chrysanthemum that she had crumpled on the ground with a flick of her hand, and finally glanced at it with disgust.

"Yes." Miao Qing waved his hand not far away, and Dequan, who was waiting on the side, immediately ran over to pick up the flowers. Miaoqing helped Feng Wu to walk elsewhere.

Feng Wu and the others walked around again, and were about to return to the palace, when they met Wang Zhiying's master and servant who came to enjoy the flowers.

"The concubine asks the queen to say goodbye, and the mother is blessed with peace." Wang Zhiying did not change her usual style, and she was still dressed up brightly and openly - the cherry red butterfly pattern halo brocade pleated Jun, paired with the lively and pretty deer bun, added a bit of youthful atmosphere to her; However, the sun and moon shengheng longevity hairpin on her head did not match her whole outfit. This hairpin is obviously too heavy.

"Sakura is exempt from courtesy. I'm dressed festively today, why did I wear such a dignified hairpin? Feng Wu took a closer look, and felt that this hairpin was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.

"Back to the queen mother, this hairpin was rewarded by the queen mother when the concubine went to Yongshou Palace to ask for peace. The queen mother praised the concubines for taking care of the emperor and taking good care of them! Wang Zhiying's expression and words all revealed pride faintly.

Yes, since the last time Feng Wu told the emperor about King Jin, he no longer announced Deng Zhenxuan's illness. Since then, Wang Zhiying has been "outstanding".

"No wonder this palace thinks this hairpin is familiar, it turned out to be a reward from the queen mother. Then you can wear it well, don't live up to the Queen Mother's heart. Coincidentally, your hairpin and the beautiful scenery of the imperial garden also complement each other! Although it is just a servant, the frequent summoning of Wang Zhiying can also show that in addition to Li Jingxi, she is currently the one who has the most sacred heart.

"Thank you for the compliment. The concubine also felt that the meaning of this hairpin was very good, so she always wore it every time she was sick. ”

"Well, that's good. However, when Sakura is a concubine, it is more appropriate to wear a dress with a plain color. "After all, it's a sick rather than a bed, and it's easy to provoke gossip if you dress up in a fancy way.

Wang Zhiying shook her head in disagreement: "It's not that the concubines deliberately dress like this, it's that the emperor likes the concubines to dress up beautifully." It is said that it is pleasing to the eye, and the disease can get better faster. It's always plain satin, and it looks like a mourning, which is very unlucky! When she said the last sentence, she did not dare to speak loudly, and only whispered to the queen alone.

"It's not unreasonable. In that case, you can come according to the emperor's preference. Feng Wu despises Duan Yulin, even if he can't "practice it", he still doesn't change his lustful nature, and he deserves to be planted in the hands of women!

"The concubine obeys." With the approval of the emperor and the queen, who will dare to point fingers at her in the future? The corners of Wang Zhiying's mouth curled up and smiled proudly.

"Okay, the palace is also lacking, so I won't accompany the cherry blossom concubine to enjoy the flowers, and the cherry concubine will take care of herself." Feng Wu nodded politely and left the Imperial Garden with Miao Qing.

"The concubine (slave maid) sends off the queen!" Wang Zhiying and Acacia squatted together to give Feng Jia.

Returning to her own territory, Miaoqing couldn't help but sigh: "This cherry noble concubine is too flamboyant and domineering, and the slave doesn't like it." ”

"It doesn't matter if you like it or not, what matters is that the emperor likes it. On the contrary, Bengong likes her temperament, Minglie is bold. Although she could see at a glance that Wang Zhiying was by no means a good person, at least she was a brave and resourceful woman who dared to think and act.

"Since Niangniang doesn't dislike Sakura's concubine, why don't you take it for your own use?" It is rare to find a person in the harem who has a temper with Feng Wu, and Miao Qing feels that she can win him over.

"That's it. Even if this palace intends to woo her, I'm afraid she won't obey. After more contact with the court, Feng Wu keenly discovered many details that had been overlooked before.

Take Wang Zhiying and Yu Fuyuan, who entered the palace at the same time and have similar family backgrounds. In terms of appearance, the two have their own merits, regardless of whether they are up or down; In terms of personality, Wang Zhiying's bold and pungent will give men a sense of freshness at first, but after a long time, it is definitely a gentle and lovely jade hibiscus that meets the standard.

But now that they have been in the palace for three years, it is said that this freshness has long passed, but Wang Zhiying's favor has never waned! In contrast, Jade Hibiscus's grace is much more indifferent. Why is that? In the past, Feng Wu didn't think much about it, and she didn't bother to care. Now it seems that the problem is not all personal, a large part of it has to do with their father's position!

Wang Zhiying's father, Wang Zude, was the head of the household department who was brought up by Duan Yulin, and he was completely loyal to the emperor. Most of the officials in the DPRK and China formed factions to maintain their power; And Wang Zude is probably the only one who does not lean towards any side, but only serves the emperor. It is precisely because of this that Duan Yulin attaches great importance to Wang Zhiying. Therefore, even if Wang Zhiying made an outrageous move like "singing in the middle of the night", the emperor would turn a blind eye.

On the other hand, Yufurui, her father is Yuhai, a waiter in the Criminal Department. Although Yuhai is indeed an upright and good official, it is "well known" that his immediate boss Chu Peitian is the most interested in forming a party for personal gain, and as his subordinate, it is inevitable that people will be misunderstood and suspicious. Duan Yulin's vigilance is heavy, so naturally he will not trust Yuhai and her daughter wholeheartedly, so Yufu's favor is always inferior to Wang Zhiying.

Feng is the emperor's most feared foreign relative force, Wang Zhiying is afraid to avoid it, where will Feng Wu recruit? Once she forms an alliance with the Feng Clan, Wang Zhiying's favor is afraid that it will come to an end, and she will not be so stupid! Which is more important, she knows it in her heart!

Feng Wu knew the pros and cons to Miaoqing, and Miaoqing gave up the idea of wooing Wang Zhiying. But she was still unwilling: "Niangniang, since we can't pull Concubine Ying into our camp, can't we find a way to use her?" ”

"That's a good idea! You can give it a try. Feng Wu agreed. Use Wang Zhiying to deal with those "little troubles" first, and then she will personally deal with her "big troubles".

"Niangniang has an idea?" Miaoqing is looking forward to this harem cleansing. Those messy people and things should have been repaired and put in order a long time ago!

"Rong Bengong think about it, think about it......," the armor on Feng Wu's fingers began to beat rhythmically on the table again.

A few days later, a palace man dug up a puppet engraved with Ju Liwen under the root of an elm tree in the backyard of Jiying Palace. This is no ordinary puppet, it is a wooden figure used by folk wizards to perform voodoo curses!

As soon as this incident came out, Feng Wu quickly summoned relevant people to start an interrogation, and some concubines who loved to join in the fun also came over to watch. Under the translation of the Gurei Maiko Sakao, everyone learned that the puppet was engraved with Wang Zhiying's name and birthday. This is someone cursing Wang Zhiying!

No wonder she has been pampered for many years and has not been able to conceive a child, dare to love this thing? Wang Zhiying almost fainted, she vowed to find out the vicious villain behind the scenes! She knelt down at Feng Wu's feet, and begged pitifully: "Queen Mother, you have to be the master of the concubine!" ”

"The art of disgust is a taboo in the palace, and this palace will thoroughly investigate it. Sakura got up first to speak. Feng Wu helped Wang Zhiying up.

"Queen Xie. Niangniang, you see that the words on this puppet are all engraved in Juli script, and it must be inseparable from Juliren! beg Niangniang to arrest all the Guli people in the palace and interrogate them! "There are very few Han people who learn Ju Liwen, and there are only a few people in the palace who know Ju Liwen!

In addition to the Begonia and a few Juli Maiko in the Man Dance Division, only a few translators in the Honglu Temple, who are in charge of entertaining foreign guests, know how to write Juli Wen.

Feng Wu was slightly dissatisfied with Wang Zhiying's arrogant tone, but she quickly suppressed this emotion. She pointed at Zao Xing and said, "You, go back to the Man Dance Division, and call your white palm dance and a few of your little sisters!" Then he ordered Dequan to invite a few interpreters from Honglu Temple; When he was about to send Miaoqing to invite Begonia, he was stopped by a voice.

"The queen is slow!" Mu Zhu walked forward from the back of the crowd, and she said to the queen Fu Shen: "Since ancient times, the art of winning has been hated, and the wooden people who cast spells are divided into two 'mother and son'. I'm afraid this one found in the palace of Sakura Guifei is just a 'child puppet', and the 'mother puppet' must still be on the spellcaster's body. The most important thing for Niangniang to do at this time is to search the palace! ”

Come to think of it, if this matter is really done by the Juli people, Jiucheng was done by Begonia. Those Maiko and interpreters won't be full of curses for a concubine who has nothing to do with them! Mu Zhu has been jealous of Begonia for a long time, and I wish she was unlucky!

"Bamboo Beauty is right! Niangniang should search the palace directly, otherwise the person who casts the spell will take the opportunity to destroy the 'mother puppet'! Wang Zhiying also agreed with Mu Zhu's proposal.

Feng Wu pretended to exclaim: "Is this palace negligent, or is the bamboo beauty thoughtful!" The palace is so big, where do you start searching? ”

"Why should I be embarrassed? Naturally, it is the Ming Cui Xuan of Tang Baolin first! After all, she is the only one among the concubines who is from the Guli clan! "Muzhu strongly recommends starting directly with Begonia.

"The concubine thought that she could search for Ming Cuixuan and Man Dance Division at the same time, in case they were in a group. Don't forget, Tang Baolin came out of the Man Dance Division, and her good sisters are also Ju Li! Zhou Mulin was not afraid of big things when she saw the excitement, so she pushed the boat down the river to help Mu Zhu. Anyway, if Begonia falls, it will only be good for her, not harmful.

Acacia suddenly exclaimed: "Oh no! Queen Fang ordered Zao Xing to go back to report the news, in case they really colluded with each other...... "If they are really embarrassed, Zao Xing will definitely remind Haitang and the people of the Man Dance Division to take precautions." When the time comes, it may be really difficult to find a "mother doll" again!

"Quick! Go chase the morning apricots! Stop her at Hongu! Feng Wu's appearance looked anxious and remorseful. However, when she looked closely, her eyes flashed with a completely different understanding from what appeared on the surface.
