Chapter 12: Chance Encounters (2)
"Uh...... This one...... Not long after the slave maid entered the palace, she only knew that Concubine Zhuang lived in Hanyu Palace, but she didn't know how to go. Zimo was very glad that she didn't tell Xian Yuanshao her true identity, otherwise he wouldn't have been forced to go back to the palace to peep at the master?
"Hanyu Palace? It sounds weird. Okay, you can go, I'll go and inquire about how to go to Hanyu Palace. After saying that, one turned and ran back to the tree, and then saw the canopy of the tree move a few times, and after a while, there was no one. Seeing that Xianyuan Shao was far away, Zimo dared to breathe a sigh of relief, and finally asked for this big trouble, and when he calmed down a little, he trotted all the way to the Internal Affairs Office.
When he arrived at the Internal Affairs Office, Zimo took the example very smoothly, and when he was about to go back, he happened to meet Zixiao who came to deliver jewelry, and the two looked at each other for a moment and understood each other's meaning tacitly.
Zimo wandered around the door of the Internal Affairs Mansion for a while, and when she came out on an errand, Zimo naturally walked up to her and said, "Concubine Zhuang wants to make a few new pieces of jewelry, so let me go to Si Zhenfang to see the tricks, let's go together?" ”
"Okay. I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect you to mix well, I believe it won't be long before Concubine Zhuang will regard you as a confidant. I don't know why I lost to you in the first place? Zixiao refers to the fact that Li Jingxi finally chose Zimo instead of her.
"You're not bad, you're also very important in Si Zhen's room, I heard that you are a popular candidate for the new Zhangzhen." Zixiao's errand Si Zhen room belongs to the Shang Palace Bureau, the main responsibilities of the Shang Palace Bureau almost cover all the clothing, food and housing of the concubines in the harem, and its subordinates have four rooms, in addition to the Si Zhen room, there are also the Si system room, the division room and the imperial dining room. Zixiao's Si Zhen Fang specializes in the production of all kinds of jewelry for palace concubines; The division room is responsible for the production of all clothes, pants, shoes, socks, etc. in the harem; The division room is responsible for the production of harem furniture and furnishings; Needless to say, the imperial dining room was of course the place responsible for cooking the palace concubines and the emperor's diet. In addition to the other rooms in the imperial dining room, the other three divisions are located in the three halls in the Shanggong Bureau.
"You didn't come, but you actually complimented me. To be serious, I can really see the situation of this harem in Si Zhenfang, except for Guan Ju Palace, among the new little masters in the palace, Si Zhenfang sent the most jewelry to Yuxiu Palace and Ming Cuixuan, which also shows that the little masters of these two palaces are the most favored. I'm thinking that if the time comes, I can introduce myself to these two Mao Sui, what do you say? In this harem, only Zimo is still "her own person", and some things can only be discussed with her.
"If you follow it, you must follow a favored master, but they have only been in the palace for a short time, and they are not sure whether the favor will last long, or it is safer to observe for a while." Zimo gave sincere advice.
"I know this in my own heart. By the way, I recently discovered that the Fenghua next to Su Lianyi is always looking for opportunities to come to the Shanggong Bureau, as if he is looking for someone. Do you say that she was looking for someone that Su Lianyi ordered? Still is...... Horse Lord? But Zixiao always felt that Fenghua's appearance was weird, not quite like running an errand for his master. Because if she is doing things for Su Lianyi, she can find a lot of normal reasons, but she seems to carry Su Lianyi behind her back every time she comes. Zixiao then told Zimo about her feelings.
"Ever since Master Ma took Su Lianyi back to the mansion, I knew that he must have other plans, but he was just able to have one more person who could speak by the emperor's side, as long as Feng Hua's behavior would not hinder Su Lianyi and the Horse Mansion, let her go. But it's best to keep an eye on her. Hearing Zixiao say this, she also felt that Fenghua was a little suspicious.
"Well, that's what I thought too." The two discussed in a whisper while walking, and in a blink of an eye they arrived at the Shanggong Bureau, where there were many people, so it was inconvenient for them to talk about private matters anymore, so they only regarded it as a real errand and did not mention it.
As soon as he entered Si Zhen's room, Si Zhen Lu Xiurong greeted him, and said with a smile: "The jewelry prepared for Concubine Zhuang's canonization ceremony has been sent to the Internal Affairs Office?" ”
"Yes, the slave has just returned." Zixiao gave Zimo a look, and Zimo went to the side to find other palace maids to see the tricks, but his ears listened to the conversation here.
"Then please go to Ming Cuixuan again, today the emperor turned over the little master's brand again, saying that there is a lack of jewelry to match clothes, you go and see what the Lan nobles want, I can find it from the treasury." After saying that, Lu Sizhen went to do something else, Zixiao naturally took the order to go to Mingcuixuan, and here Zimo also left Si Zhen's room under the pretext that he didn't have the tricks that the master wanted.
As soon as Zimo came out of Si Zhen's room, before he left the gate of the Shang Palace Bureau, he saw Feng Hua hurriedly coming out of the Si Zhen's room, and looked back from time to time after walking out, as if he was very reluctant. Zimo was suspicious, and quickly hid in the corner to prevent being discovered by Feng Hua, poked his head out from behind the wall to quietly observe Feng Hua, only to see that when Feng Hua walked to the gate of the Shang Palace Bureau, his expression changed back to natural, and then left like no one else. Zimo also followed, but Fenghua didn't go anywhere else after that, and went back to Yilan Hall directly, and Zimo had no choice but to give up.
Zimo swayed back to Guanju Palace all the way leisurely, and when he entered the door, he happened to meet Liuli to send out Imperial Doctor Li, who asked for a safe pulse, and Zimo made a gift to Imperial Doctor Li and watched him leave. This Imperial Physician Li is said to be a distant relative of Li Jingxi's own family, so he is very trusted by Li Jingxi.
Since Zimo came to Guan Ju Palace, the imperial doctor has come to ask Li Jingxi for a pulse almost every day, Li Jingxi looks very healthy, can she ask for a pulse every day like this? Zimo couldn't help but ask this question: "Liuli, I see that Niangniang's body is quite refreshing and healthy, why do you have to check the pulse every day?" And I see that Imperial Doctor Li seems to have prescribed medicine, but Niangniang never drinks it? ”
"Huh? Niangniang is in good health, and the emperor cares about Niangniang, so he asked the imperial doctor to ask Niangniang for peace every day. Doctor Li prescribes some nourishing prescriptions, and the mother doesn't like to drink them. Anyway, there is no disease, so if you don't drink it, you won't drink it. Liuli didn't seem to want to say more, and under the pretext that there was still sweet soup stewed in the kitchen, she wanted to go and see, so she also left. Liuzimo was thinking nonsense alone, Zimo thought that the time she had come here was still short, and she still couldn't be fully trusted, and it was common sense that some things were inconvenient for her to know. In fact, not only Zimo, but also some things that even Amber in the past didn't fully know, after all, it is indispensable to defend people in a place like the harem.
Zimo is not annoyed, anyway, the days are long, one day she will be completely trusted by Li Jingxi, and now she is gradually proving her worth little by little. Zimo entered the hall and regained his life with Li Jingxi, put down the share of silver, and returned to the courtyard where he lived. Zimo was in a good mood, and he folded a budding branch and wanted to put it in a vase, but somehow he suddenly remembered the "madman" he met in the morning, and he didn't know what his expression would be when he found out that the Cold Jade Palace was actually a cold palace? I thought it was funny, so I hummed a little song all the way into the house.
