Chapter 137: Master and Servant
Good and evil are only in a thought, Wang Zhiying chose to be a "bad guy" "openly" at the beginning, Luo Zixiao's kindness was also driven by greed mixed with a little malice, and Liu Youmeng's selfishness and passivity finally made her choose to go with Zixiao.
"Does the little lord really want to help Concubine Ke do this? Can the little master think about it clearly? Zhiyan couldn't help but ask on the way out of Yunxia Palace.
"What if you don't do it? Do you have to be bullied by Wang Zhiying all the time? I've had enough! Youmeng said hatefully: "Concubine Ke has made it clear that she wants to deal with Wang Zhiying, if I don't agree to help her, she will definitely fix it with me." ”
"How so? Concubine Ke has never been angry with others, and besides, the little lord has helped Jinghua to be favored, so Concubine Ke will not take revenge, right? "It's a little unacceptable.
"Huh? She has already paid off the little kindness I gave to Jinghua, how do you think I got this 'noble'? Besides, people's hearts are fickle, and now Concubine Ke is no longer the Luo Zixiao who was indisputable with the world back then......" Youmeng patted the back of Zhiyan's hand helplessly, she had to rely on Luo Zixiao.
The grace of the dream is already scarce, and now that the newcomer has entered the palace, the emperor has thrown her out of the clouds. With her family background, if she can be promoted to the concubine position, it is already the extreme, but she has only struggled to fight for the position of nobleman, and a large part of this is Luo Zixiao's strength, so if she wants to be a concubine, she must hug the big tree of Concubine Ke tightly.
The master and servant deliberately took a detour to relax, and when they passed through the imperial garden, they happened to meet the jade hibiscus and the maid butterfly. In autumn, the wood hibiscus blooms just right, and the jade hibiscus loves this flower the most, so naturally it does not want to miss it.
When Furao saw the dream coming, she greeted politely: "The noble lady is well." ”
"The jade nobles are well." Yumeng looked at the delicate beauty like a newly opened hibiscus, and added a trace of bitterness to his heart. His best years are gone, and the fresh colors in this harem will never be cut off.
"Autumn is picturesque, and the most beautiful scenery is not to be disappointed. Sister Li is also here to enjoy the scenery? Fleur warmly invited Yumeng to visit the Imperial Garden, but Yumeng did not refuse.
"No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is not as bright as the rookies! Every day, facing a big beauty like Sakura nobles, I don't pay attention to any scenery. The dream was half joking and half self-deprecating.
"Heh, when I heard my sister's words, I knew that I was annoyed by Shibazakura." Fleur and Butterfly covered their lips and smiled.
"What? My sister seems to know Sakura very well? "The dream was surprised.
"I don't know each other, but we know each other well. Shibazakura's temperament...... That's it, let's not talk about this. The flowers in the imperial garden are good-looking, but they are not as chic as the finely cut vases in the flower room. I don't know if my sister is willing to appreciate the light, move to the Furong Pavilion to take a look? Fleur didn't want to mention it to Shibazakura, so she invited Yumu to sit in her palace.
The Yu family and the Wang family live relatively close, and the heads of the two families are officials in the same dynasty, so it is inevitable that they will move around each other on weekdays. Fleur and Shibazakura also knew each other when they were children, but their personalities were very different, so they did not become handkerchiefs.
"It's an honor." The dream followed Fleur to the Hibiscus Pavilion.
In the Hibiscus Pavilion, Liu Youmeng saw a familiar face that he hadn't seen for a long time - Mu Zhu was carefully placing a bottle full of well-trimmed wood hibiscus on the table in the main hall.
"Muzhu?" The dream couldn't help but cry out.
"Slaves and maids meet the jade nobles and the beautiful nobles." Mu Zhu bowed cautiously.
"Sister knows Muzhu? She is the most capable minion in the flower room, and she serves the best every time she sends flowers! So I only ask her to take care of the flowers and plants in the palace. Naturally, Fu Hui didn't know that Mu Zhu's identity had changed several times before she entered the palace.
"yes, that's good." Liu Youmeng is inconvenient to say, but she still doesn't have any good feelings for Mu Zhu.
Fu Hui nodded and smiled: "I met a sister Wei when I was in Chuxiu Palace, she is now Wei Cainu, and she also likes to raise flowers!" She called Mu Zhu and instructed: "Mu Zhu, please pick two pots of trimmed hydrangeas and send them to the Jade Pavilion to Wei Cainu, just say that I sent them." By the way, remember to choose the blue hydrangea. Mu Zhu nodded yes and stepped back.
Mu Zhu stood in front of the familiar Jade Pavilion door, deeply feeling that things were wrong, and her former dormitory had now become someone else's residence. Mu Zhu laughed at himself and crossed the threshold of the Jade Pavilion.
Before he arrived at the main hall, he heard the scolding from inside, and it turned out that Tan Zhiting was reprimanding Bai Hua again.
"You! Why did you forget to wake me up? Obviously, Tan Zhiting's old problem of snooze has been committed again.
"The slave and maid have called the little master many times, but the little master said that there is nothing to sleep for a while today, and told the slave and maid not to disturb." Bai Hua knelt on the ground, his waist straight.
It was probably this look of neither humility nor arrogance that angered Tan Zhiting even more: "Okay! Have you learned to talk back? Look at me and teach you a lesson! As he spoke, he picked up the feather duster on the shelf and whipped it at Bai Hua's straight back.
Bai Hua gritted her teeth and insisted on not saying a word, with her character, she would never beg for mercy, even if she was beaten to death. Mu Zhu, who witnessed all this, shook his head secretly, how could Bai Hua, who was unbending, survive in the harem?
"The slave maid sees Tan Meiren, and the jade noble maid ordered the slave maid to send you and the little master Wei two pots of hydrangeas." Mu Zhu's appearance interrupted Tan Zhiting's punishment.
At first, Tan Zhiting waved her hand impatiently at Mu Zhu, but she looked at it and found that it was Mu Zhu who was once in the limelight! Her attention immediately diverted from Bai Hua: "Yo! Isn't this Muzhu? It's been a long time! I heard that you are working as an errand in the flower room, and your life is much more moisturized than in the Animal and Bird Division, right? "Tan Zhiting's irony can be heard by fools.
"Thank you for your concern, the slave is indeed doing well." Mu Zhu replied with a smile, but he couldn't wait to tear Tan Zhiting's mouth in his heart.
Mu Zhu's bland reaction did not satisfy Tan Zhiting's desire to gloat, she suddenly felt extremely bored, and shouted towards the house where Wei Nan lived: "Wei Cainu, your noble sister has come to give you flowers, come out and accept them." ”
"Just come." Wei Nan responded softly, but Ling Qiao opened the door curtain one step ahead of the master, and she was so excited to see the old master: "Zhu Baolin!" What are you doing here? ”
Just when Ling Qiao wanted to run over to greet Mu Zhu, Tan Zhiting stretched out her hand to stop her and poured a basin of cold water: "She is no longer a concubine, and she is no longer your master." Your master is the maiden of the house, don't be a taboo! ”
Listening to Tan Zhiting's words, Ling Qiao stopped and stood at the door waiting for Wei Nan. Wei Nan quickly sorted it out, she politely accepted the gift of Jade Fuyuan, and asked Muzhu to bring it back to thank her. After thanking Mu Zhu, Wei Nan noticed Bai Hua who was punished again, and his heart softened and he couldn't help but intercede for her: "Sister Tan, what mistake did Bai Hua make again, is it too serious for my sister to beat and scold her like this?" ”
"Cheap bones are just not cleaned up, you don't have to plead for her!" Tan Zhiting has not been pleasing to Bai Hua for a day or two.
"The slave and maid always make the little master angry and do not serve the little master well, and the slave and maid are incompetent. The slave and maid are not worthy to stay by the little master's side, so please send the slave and the maid away! At this time, Bai Hua suddenly begged loudly, and kowtowed three times, this was the first time she kowtowed to Tan Zhiting.
"Huh! The first time this begged me, she actually begged me to send her away? All right! Then you think I sent you to the Beast and Bird Division? Or is it a raccoon bureau? "These two places are the last places that the palace people want to go.
"But it's up to the little lord to decide!" It's better anywhere than here, Bai Hua is fed up with Tan Zhiting's practice.
Wei Nan dissuaded Bai Hua from being stubborn, and at the same time persuaded Tan Zhiting not to make a big deal about it. Mu Zhu, who was about to leave, paused his back, turned around and came back to pretend to pick up the fallen flower shovel, and casually mentioned: "I heard that the powder makeup of the Fahua Hall has reached the age of leaving the palace, where is there just a shortage of maids." It's just that the Fahua Hall is deserted, and no one wants to go there on an errand. ”
Tan Zhiting and Wei Nan looked at each other, turned their heads to look at Bai Hua again, and saw Bai Hua bow his head and say in a deep voice: "The slave is willing to go to the Fahua Palace." ”
Bai Hua was transferred to the Fahua Palace, and Tan Zhiting had no available people for a while, so she reported to the queen. Feng Wu allowed her to pick a random palace maid to serve in the Internal Affairs Office or the Shanggong Bureau, but Tan Zhiting mentioned Mu Zhu with bad intentions, and she wanted Mu Zhu to take Bai Hua's place.
How did Feng Wu not know Tan Zhiting's thoughts? Mu Zhu was once Concubine Zheng Shu's personal palace maid, and she was the emperor's concubine, how can her status be compared with ordinary palace maids? Tan Zhiting is a beautiful woman, and she dares to open her mouth to ask Muzhu to be her maidservant, on the one hand, in order to take it for her own use when Muzhu is down; On the other hand, in order to raise his own value, wouldn't it be very face-saving to be served by Mu Zhu, who used to be a concubine?
As the saying goes, "people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants", Tan Zhiting only considers the superficial scenery, but completely ignores whether this will attract resentment, which is really stupid!
Such a stupid and greedy woman, Feng Wu, felt the need to make her suffer a loss, Mu Zhu was not a fuel-efficient lamp, wouldn't it be a good show for Feng Wu to use each other and calculate each other? Besides, even the emperor didn't care where Mu Zhu went, and Feng Wu had no reason to refuse Tan Meiren's "small request" to ask for a flower house minion.
When he received the order to go to the Jade Pavilion on an errand, Mu Zhu was extremely angry in his heart. The vain Tan Zhiting disrupted all her plans!
Mu Zhu originally wanted to get in touch with Jade Futing by serving flowers and plants for Furong Pavilion, knowing that Jade Fuyuan's family background is much better than Tan Zhiting's, and it is also more conducive to her recovery.
Mu Zhu gritted his teeth and packed up his baggage, thinking to himself, there is a way to follow others, at least this is a new opportunity.
"My sister is going to be a close attendant, shouldn't she be happy? Why do you think my sister doesn't seem to be very happy? Lu Qiao, a little palace maid who was good friends with Mu Zhu in the flower room, saw her unhappiness.
"No, I'm happy. When I have a firm foothold in the Emerald Pavilion, I beg Tan Meiren to ask you to come with me, and then we can work together again. Mu Zhu touched the green bun comfortingly.
"Is what my sister said true? Can Lu Qiao leave the flower room? "Lu Qiao is still young, and it has only been a year since he entered the palace. She had heard about Mu Zhu's experience, but she never asked too much.
"That's nature. You have to do a good job in the flower room, I believe it won't be long before we can be reunited. "Mu Zhu had long planned to wait for the return of favor, and asked Lu Qiao to follow him.
"Lu Qiao believes in my sister! Midori is waiting for good news from her sister! Lu Qiao handed a purse embroidered with green bamboo to Mu Zhu as a farewell gift.
Mu Zhu smiled and squeezed the purse in his hand, saying goodbye to the green Qiao and the hard work of the flower house that he had been with for months.
Mu Zhu is not the only one who said goodbye to the past, Hua Mansha in the palace music bureau and a new palace maid plan to start a new life in the palace. We will tell the story of Huamansha later, and now let's talk about this mysterious palace maid.
In the general election in July, there were many palace maids in the court, and Zi Wei was fortunate to become the apprentice of the first palace maid Qingque in front of the palace, and followed Qingque in front of the palace. For the name "Ziwei", everyone will feel a little special and familiar. That's right, the maid starts with the word "son" has always been the style of the Horse Mansion. Zi Wei is the palace maid selected by Qin Yan this time.
