Quang Ninh Zhongtunwei is indeed cold, the coldest at night. Chen Xianzhen came to Liaodong for the first time, and the most impressive thing was, of course, the weather, before that, she could not imagine such a scene. After all, in the country of Annan, where she was born, people only know the heat, not the cold.

This time she drove on the northern tour, and she did see more scenery. In the great Ming Dynasty, different places, the water, soil and climate are also completely different, the only thing that is the same is that people speak the same Chinese dialect with different accents, at least there is no difference in the words pasted on the door curtains.

The longer she spent in the Ming Dynasty, the more strange she felt about her hometown.

Chen Xianzhen pondered, maybe it was not that he was used to the Ming Dynasty, but because he seemed to be unable to return to Annan. Zhu Gaoxu shouldn't force her to stay, but she felt that it was a little difficult to make a living after she went back.

When the Chen Dynasty ruled the Annan Kingdom, Chen Xianzhen, as a clan, was born in glory and wealth, and naturally had no worries about food and clothing. Unexpectedly, first the Hu clan seized power, and then Emperor Jianding, Emperor Chongguang, Empress Dowager Chen, etc. were in power. Now that the Empress Dowager Chen is in power, she will not repay her.

Thinking of those chaotic past events and entangled grievances, Chen Xianzhen had a little headache. She finally understood that she felt strange from her hometown because she wanted to escape.

And her situation in the Ming Dynasty is certainly not very good. Not to mention that he was suspected of misdeeds and was imprisoned in Fengyang for several years; Even now, Chen Xianzhen has no foothold here.

First of all, the emperor and the people in the palace did not trust her, and she knew this in her heart. When she first faced the saint, she was searched by that period of snow hatred, and the search was very detailed, which made Chen Xianzhen blushing on the spot, and people were afraid that she would be unfavorable to the emperor.

Secondly, the concubines and eunuchs in the palace did not take Chen Xianzhen seriously. The concubines invited each other to do all kinds of things, but Chen Xianzhen couldn't participate. Occasionally, when she was present, she couldn't even interject.

As for other benefits, such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, no one cares about Chen Xianzhen, and the attitude of the palace maid and eunuch is also very cold. She often thinks of herself as an outsider, but when she thinks about it, she seems to be an outsider.

Chen Xianzhen was originally in Annanguo, and she was also a beauty admired and flattered by everyone, of course, she was a little unaccustomed to this feeling of isolation. She hadn't thought about what she was going to get right now, she just felt uncomfortable intuitively.

Sometimes she behaves a little funny, and she actively participates in everyone's topics, but often makes the scene very embarrassing. At first, she would question and reflect on herself, thinking that maybe her Chinese was not fluent, it was a little difficult to talk to people, or the topic she was talking about was not interesting to everyone. Later, when she calmed down, she realized that if she wanted to fit in with people, she also needed the cooperation of others. And those concubines, eunuchs, and palace maids didn't pay attention to Chen Xianzhen, so they didn't bother to cooperate.

The person who is most willing to talk to Chen Xianzhen on weekdays is Concubine Duan Xue. Duan Xue hated that he didn't talk much in front of people, and was often silent. Perhaps because of the similarity, Chen Xianzhen felt that Duan Xue hated extra kindness.

Later, Chen Xianzhen realized that he was wrong, in fact, Duan Xue hated nothing similar to her. Duan Xue Hate didn't seem to feel embarrassed to be left out at all, Chen Xianzhen paid attention to her expression many times, and felt that she was very calm and indifferent when she was silent. And Duan Xue is not really snubbed, many people are willing to talk to her, as long as she speaks, everyone will give face and speak very well.

Xian Zhen thinks about himself and is stupid, the emperor trusts Duan Xue Hate so much, it is said that the imperial concubine still has a lot to do with Duan Xue Hate, who would deliberately snub her? It's nothing more than Duan Xue hating her nature and not liking to be lively.

The crowd in the palace is like an invisible wall, as if it is separating outsiders, preventing irrelevant people from sharing the benefits and sharing the fun. Whether it is a concubine or a eunuch or a palace maid, they are all trying to make friends with popular people, so that they can be more convenient and valued in the palace. The fairy-like concubines don't seem to eat the fireworks of the world, and in Chen Xianzhen's eyes, they are just cheesy women, and they even feel a little annoying.

Everyone didn't deliberately make things difficult for Chen Xianzhen, she was occasionally a little depressed, thinking that people didn't care about themselves. After all, most of the people in the world are most concerned about themselves, and not many people have time to come to see Chen Xianzhen's embarrassment of isolation, but she cares about herself.

It's just that Chen Xian really has such a temperament, he doesn't like to be left out in the cold, and there is no way. She often has an inexplicable panic and unwillingness, and even jealousy.

But Chen Xianzhen suddenly remembered Guo Yan, who was once in the imperial city of Fengyang, the central capital, and realized that his situation was still better than Guo Yan. Guo Yan was involved in the internal affairs of the Ming royal family, and after the dust settled, it was difficult for her to have a chance to get rid of it.

And Chen Xianzhen is different, most of the entanglements that give her a headache are in Annanguo. So Chen Xianzhen was forgotten in Fengyang for a few years, and he could still take the initiative to attract Zhu Gaoxu to meet, but Guo Yan couldn't.

Now Chen Xianzhen is a little breathless again. The army was on the way, and she had no chance; Because the tents and houses along the way were very small, many people did not settle in the same place as the emperor. This time I went to the Zhongtun Weizhi Office in Guangning, a small city, and the place where the emperor settled was a large courtyard. Most of the people from the palace, including Chen Xianzhen from Fengyang, settled in one place.

After several days, Chen Xianzhen finally found an opportunity.

When it was approaching, Chen Xianzhen came to the main courtyard on the central axis of this mansion and found a eunuch who said that there were rats in his house; And this place is where the emperor passed in and out. Unexpectedly, the eunuch insisted that the rats would hibernate and wanted to send Chen Xianzhen away, so Chen Xianzhen stayed here to delay time.

At this moment, she saw through the crack in the window that the emperor had come back in front of her. Chen Xianzhen was suddenly a little surprised in her heart, after all, she had no way of confirming in advance whether the emperor had gone to the front yard to work today, let alone being sure that she would meet the emperor here.

Chen Xianzhen immediately turned around and opened the door, walked to the corridor, and stood on the side of the road and bowed, waiting for Zhu Gaoxu and the others to come over. The eunuch in the house also came out, and when he saw this, he had to bend down and stand by the roadside.

At this time, she found out that the emperor had the imperial concubine Mu Zhen and the concubine Duan Xue by his side. When Chen Xianzhen saw them, he was a little lost.

Zhu Gaoxu walked next to Chen Xianzhen, stopped, and turned his head to look at her. When Chen Xianzhen saw Zhu Gaoxu, he was inexplicably a little angry in his heart, and secretly scolded: People who have no conscience will forget me when they turn around. But she remembered that Zhu Gaoxu had specially ordered clothes for her, and she couldn't be too angry. For a while, the mood was very complicated.

"Why is Mrs. Chen here?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.

At this time, the eunuch next to Chen Xianzhen had a nervous look on his face, and quietly turned his head to look at her, as if he wanted to beg her not to mention the dispute just now. Of course, Chen Xianzhen would not talk about such a boring trivial matter in front of the emperor, and she was not a fool.

"A little trivial, the concubine is about to return

House. Chen Xianzhen said softly.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: "It's cold outside, you are afraid that you are not used to it in Annan, and the house is warm." ”

Chen Xianzhen said: "Thank you." ”

This is the voice of the imperial concubine Mu Zhen: "Isn't it cold for Mrs. Chen to wear only this jacket?" I've got a fur coat there, and I'll get one for you. ”

Chen Xian said sincerely: Why doesn't Pingsu care about me? Deliberately in front of the emperor?

She looked at Mu Zhen and curtched her knees and said, "Imperial Concubine Xie." ”

"It's a little thing, if you have anything to tell me, you don't have to be too polite." Mu Zhen's bright eyes bent, revealing a sincere smile. When Chen Xianzhen saw her smiling face, she immediately felt very warm and beautiful, completely unpretentious, and her kindness was convincing.

Chen Xianzhen nodded and smiled in return.

Only then did she remember that Mu Zhen's popularity was very good. I heard Duan Xue hate talk about it, Mu Zhen has never said bad things about others behind her back, and she always treats people sincerely. But Chen Xianzhen is also from an aristocratic background, and she has seen some women with very good skills in dealing with people; At this time, Chen Xianzhen couldn't confirm whether Mu Zhen really had a good personality or because of her upbringing and scheming beyond ordinary people.

Anyway, Chen Xianzhen herself is not Mu Zhen's kind of person at all, she looks at many people unpleasantly, especially women.

Zhu Gaoxu said in an easy-going tone: "No courtesy, go back." ”

Chen Xianzhen bent his knees again and said, "Congratulations to the Holy Lord and the Imperial Concubine." ”

When the group continued to walk far north, the little eunuch next to him released his atmosphere, and a long string of white vapor blew out of his mouth. He turned around and said, "Do you really have rats in your house?" Let's go over with you and take a look. ”

Chen Xianzhen said with a slight smile: "Forget it." We won't be able to stay long in Quang Ninh Zhongtunwei, so let's make do for a while. I didn't give up because I didn't think rats would hibernate. ”

The eunuch said embarrassedly: "Our family also listens to what others say." ”

Chen Xianzhen said: "I quit." ”

Early the next morning, the palace maid beside the imperial concubine Mu Zhen brought a very soft and thick coat over, which was very warm to wear, and the workmanship was meticulous and beautiful, and the mink fur of the collar was also carefully selected, and the color was pure and very luxurious. Chen Xianzhen at least felt that Mu Zhen was very good at being a person, not because the emperor was present and casually said nice things.

Chen Xianzhen accepted the things and also wanted to repay the imperial concubine. She prepared something and planned to make her own food in Thang Long, which is said to have spread to Annam from the Liangguang region. However, Mu Zhen's hometown Yunnan and Daming Jingshi have never seen this kind of dim sum. Chen Xian really thought it was delicious, and he thought about it so that the imperial concubine could taste it fresh.

Of course, Chen Xianzhen, who had just come out of Fengyang, didn't have any money, so he could only return such an ordinary thing. But thinking about it, the imperial concubine doesn't care about the value of things.

The time to do it is tomorrow afternoon, and Chen Xianzhen expects it to be completed near the time of dinner and delivered it in person.

At this time, there were only two concubines around the emperor, and usually one person accompanied the emperor for a day; And the concubine Duan Xue Hate was often by the emperor's side, but Chen Xianzhen found that Duan Xue Hate would only go to the emperor at night every few days. In this way, Zhu Gaoxu will most likely sleep with Mu Zhen again tomorrow night.
