Guo Shao returned to the imperial city and went straight to the archive room in the east hall of the Jinxiang Palace. Jing Niang followed in, her face was not worried.

Guo Shao frowned and said, "Who provoked Jing Niang?" ”

Jing Niang wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said: "That soup cake Shih Tzu ......"

Guo Shao didn't wait for her to finish, he hurriedly interrupted her, and said: "Luo Mengzi is my righteous brother, who died fighting for me, and I treat his wife like a brother-in-law, how can we call her such a name as 'soup cake Xi Shi'?" is so rude, what will the generals in front of him think when they are desperate? ”

Jing Niang's tone was also very unhappy: "I didn't say anything about Your Majesty, nor did I say anything about General Luo." Mrs. Luo didn't go into battle again, she just sat back and enjoyed her wealth. I think she is young, and she is not an indifferent person, so I am afraid she may not be able to keep it. ”

Guo Shao said: "The Luo family is rich now, and her son is her own, so she should be reluctant to remarry." Don't worry about anything else, anyway, Luo Mengzi is dead, and it's not her fault, whatever she thinks. ”

Jing Niang sighed.

Guo Shao glanced at her and probably understood why she sighed. He didn't pay attention to it, and opened the file on the table, and the minister's specific suggestions for the reform of the military system and the formation of the township brave.

He looked at it for a while, then looked up at the note of the name posted on the wall, first saw Xiang Gong's name, and after looking at it for a while, he turned his head and found another name: Cao Bin.

……

Inside the Wanfu Palace, there is no more boring place in the entire imperial city than here. The long-term residents are all concubines and palace wives left by the previous dynasty, who are just waiting for old age and death here, and are not responsible for managing any palace affairs; Usually for the palace spinning and weaving, there is no regulation on how much cloth to weave...... That's all there is to do.

However, where there are people, there is power. After Concubine Zhang went to the Sanqing Palace, now Concubine Li has said nothing in Wanfu Palace, she has subdued almost all the people in Wanfu Palace, and the people who were close to Concubine Zhang in the past have either switched to the façade or been taken to do dirty and tiring work.

But the shadow of Concubine Zhang is still here, and Concubine Li still remembers the grievances of being forced to "reconcile" in a low voice last time.

Today I heard that a palace maid was sent back from the Sanqing Palace, who was originally a person who served the Zhang family. Concubine Li immediately became interested and asked someone to bring the palace maid in and ask for it in person.

The palace maid had tears on her face, and she was still crying when she came in. After being pushed in, she saw Concubine Li sneering and trembled with fright.

Concubine Li asked quietly: "Didn't she follow her to Sanqing Hall to be a Taoist priest, why was she sent back?" ”

The palace lady who followed in immediately said with a fluttering eyebrow: "This little hoof steals things!" was caught by Wang Shanggong of Sanqing Palace, and then rushed to Wanfu Palace. ”

The palace maid hurriedly said: "The slave didn't steal, I didn't steal ......"

A woman standing next to her said gloomily: "People with unclean hands and feet will be stuffed at our Wanfu Palace?" We're not a place to hide dirt here. ”

The palace maid said vigorously: "When the slave maid was cleaning up the room, she just saw that the bracelet was beautiful, so she touched it, and she didn't want to take it...... Wang Shanggong didn't say that the slave and maid stole things, and the slave and maid were wronged! ”

After hearing this, Concubine Li looked at the palace maid below, the palace maid's eyes were red, but there seemed to be no injuries on her body, so she should not have been beaten. Concubine Li said in her heart: This kind of thing, the woman surnamed Zhang is not severely punished, but she just drove away the matter, can the people below be afraid?

It's no wonder that the Zhang family actually doesn't have the ability to establish authority and make the emperor, otherwise, when the Zhang family was still in Wanfu Palace, the status was the highest, how could the actual power not be as big as Concubine Li...... The former Zhang dynasty was able to be a concubine, all by pleasing men!

"If you are wronged or not, you can't rely on your words." Concubine Li said in a cold tone.

The palace maid said: "The slave maid is really wronged." ”

At this time, a palace woman next to her said: "Niangniang, this person is really difficult to do when he comes to us." If that's it, the rules are broken; But if you open the skin and open the flesh, isn't that a villain for Concubine Zhang? ”

Concubine Li said: "The rules can't be broken. ”

When the palace maid heard this, someone said before that she would break the skin and flesh, and she was so frightened that she fell to her knees and kept kowtowing to beg for mercy. But the people around her were just watching the show, because the people here regarded her as someone from Zhang's side...... The struggle between Concubine Li and the Zhang family was not a day or two, and the two were incompatible.

After a while, the palace maid seemed to understand what was going on, and hurriedly said: "The slave maid asks the concubine to take her in, and the slave maid will be loyal to you from now on." ”

Concubine Li said quietly: "What's the use of this palace taking a person who doesn't have clean hands and feet?" ”

The palace maid was angry and sad when she heard this: "The slave maid really doesn't have ...... The slave maid can't clear her reputation for the rest of her life, how will she live in the palace in the future......"

She suddenly thought: "The slave maid has a secret, Zhang Niangniang's ......"

Several women immediately looked at it curiously. Unexpectedly, the palace maid hesitated and didn't want to say anything.

Seeing this, Concubine Li was even more curious, and said in her heart, could it be that this little palace maid has the handle of the Zhang family in her hand?

She wanted to scare the little palace maid, but after thinking about it, sometimes it was not easy for people to comply with hard and useless things. Concubine Li immediately said: "If you really vote for me, you have to make me believe which side you are on." As long as it's my person, can I still sit back and watch her being pointed at and scolded behind her back for no reason? ”

The little palace maid was suddenly tempted and said: "Niangniang is really willing to clear the reputation of the slave maid?" ”

Concubine Li said: "It depends on what kind of heart you have." If you are really loyal to me, won't it be over if I say that the people on Zhang's side have wronged good people? ”

The little palace maid was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Zhang Niangniang once used beauty to seduce the official family. ”

"Oh?" Concubine Li looked at her, and said in her heart Last time, she heard that she had seen the Zhang family in Sanqing Hall today, but whether she was lustful or not, no one said. She immediately said, "You can't just guess about that. ”

The little palace maid said: "The slave maid is not guessing, she has seen it with her own eyes!" ”

Li Shi said in a deep voice: "What did you see with your own eyes? ”

The little palace maid gritted her teeth and said in a low voice: "Once, the official family went to Sanqing Hall to see Zhang Niangniang. Zhang Niangniang took everyone away early, although the door of the palace was hidden, but there were only two people inside, the official family and Zhang Niangniang......"

When Li Shi heard this, he said in his heart that he was really that kind of slut, and he didn't want to think about his identity, and he didn't care about any etiquette!

The little palace maid's voice became lower and lower, "The slave maid passed by the door, and suddenly heard a 'bang' inside!" ”

Several palace ladies were fascinated by this, and they also trembled at this time, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

The little palace maid said: "The slave maid was also shocked, she didn't dare to look at it, but when she heard the sound, she glanced at the crack in the door without holding back...... It's terrible, a jar of sesame oil poured on Zhang Niangniang's body, and her upper body was wet. It was still hot at that time, and everyone was thinly dressed, and their clothes were wet with sesame oil......"

"Oh......" Everyone looked at each other, in addition to the expression of disdain, there was more interest.

The little palace maid whispered: "The official family is still in front of you." ”

Everyone said in a gossipy voice, "How can the sesame oil be poured on her?" She must have deliberately wet herself so that people could see her coquettish body! "That's right, in front of the emperor, who is not careful, how can they be so careless and accidentally overturned?" "I accidentally knocked over the sesame oil can, and I accidentally got it on her, haha!"

It's not easy! Li immediately realized that it was indeed valuable news, and there was a witness in front of him.

If it is a concubine to seduce the emperor, it will be repaid, at most it will be said to be shameless; But the Zhang family is Taizu's concubine, and their seniority is poor, so this matter is not just shameless.

Li Shi said quietly: "You'd better not talk nonsense, take care of your mouth, and trouble will come out of your mouth." ”

Everyone spat for a while, but they could only say: "Follow the mother's wishes." ”
