She didn't care that the tea was already cold, and she drank it with her head down, but she felt very happy.

Concubine An also laughed when she saw her like this, "You are open-minded." ”

That's nature, thought to herself. She now eats and drinks well in the palace, and has someone to accompany her, and she is in a good mood, which is like those resentful women in the deep palace, in addition to looking forward to grace every day, she is counting the petals to live.

"Wait two days, I'll take you out to play. Zhiying played with the teacup in one hand and said lightly.

"Really?" Concubine An's eyes lit up.

"Of course it's true, my words count. ”

"Okay, I'm almost suffocated here, except for a group of palace maids and maids every day, the mother calls shortly, and there is no other meaning. ”

The two agreed, and Zhiying sat for a while before leaving the Spirit Rhino Palace. She just went out of the palace gate, and she was unexpectedly dragged by someone, she habitually fought back, and after two or three moves in a blink of an eye, she found that it was Nan Ming.

"You're not the county lord, who are you, what do you want to do?" Nan Ming clenched Ying's wrist, and fire almost erupted from his eyes.

Zhiying was not afraid of him, calmly rescued his wrist from his hand, rubbed the red mark on it, and said slowly: "Calm down, why are you so angry?"

"You dare to say that you know... You also told me to enter the Spirit Rhino Palace!" Nan Ming roared angrily, eager to strangle her on the spot.

"You have to find out, it was Concubine An who asked you to go in, and even I was shocked when I heard it. But you should be happy, this proves that you are still a little bit of fate. ”

"You quibble, obviously you instigated her, otherwise how would she notice me?" Nan Ming was angry and regretted believing her.

"Didn't she remember you because you saved her, and that should be counted on me?" explained patiently.

"Then you shouldn't..."

"If you talk about me again, believe it or not, I'll beat you. Zhiying interrupted him, squinting his eyes.

Nanming...

I didn't explain so much to him if I knew it, and I thought to myself, sure enough, strength is the guarantee of everything.

"Don't worry, I didn't say a word in front of Concubine An, as for her calling you into the hall by accident, didn't anything happen, you have a ghost in your heart. Take it easy, no one knows your secrets. ”

Nanming didn't want to talk to her and turned his back.

Zhiying accepted it when he saw it, and he didn't want to be bored, so he touched his nose and went back to his residence.

"What is this?" As soon as Zhiying entered the door, he saw a dazzling array of jewelry on the table.

"Tomorrow is Chongyang, there is a banquet in the palace, this is your outfit. Zhijie explained.

Zhiying picked up a step shake casually, only felt that the workmanship was exquisite and priceless, but he was afraid that it was worth half a lifetime of savings of ordinary people, and looked at the dress to be worn tomorrow, and the workmanship fabric was even more refined. She thought that a county lord was still like this, not to mention the concubines, she really appreciated a royal luxury.

Early the next morning, without waiting for Zhiying's orders, there were already maids rushing in, putting all kinds of things on the tray, and respectfully waiting for Zhiying to get up.

Zhiying woke up and was startled when she saw these people, and remembered that today was the Double Ninth Festival, so she had to socialize, and she only felt a headache.

When the maid at the head saw Zhiying like this, she immediately stepped forward and rubbed Zhiying's forehead with a look in her eyes, her strength was neither light nor heavy, obviously she had been trained. After a few rounds, Zhiying's feeling eased slightly, and the maid saw that her expression was a little clearer, so she opened up to freshen her.

"The county lord is naturally beautiful, and there are many ladies in the palace. The maid behind him praised.

Seeing that her craftsmanship was good and sweet, Zhiying couldn't help asking, "What's your name, and where did you use to be on duty?"

"Back to the county lord's words, the slave maid Qiulu used to be on duty in the Chong'an Palace. ”

"Chong'an Palace?"

"It's the former concubine's bedroom. ”

Oh, and it dawned on you. She almost forgot that there was such a number one person. It's just that she didn't catch up with Concubine Li's favor, but judging from Concubine An's behavior, she must have been a high-flying and domineering existence, wanting the wind to get the wind and the rain to get the rain. It was her death that changed Concubine An's fate.

"Then tell me how this county lord compares to Concubine Li?" asked Zhiying on a whim.

"In terms of appearance, the county lord is superior, and in terms of temperament, the two have their own merits. ”

"Oh, how?"

"The county lord is away all the year round, well-informed, and a casual person, while Concubine Li is raised in the deep boudoir and is a sentimental person. ”

"Sentimental? You say Concubine Lifei is sentimental?"

"Yes. Qiu Lu replied, with a serious look on her face.

How is it possible? Holding profits and refusing to believe it. If you want to say that Concubine An was sentimental before, she still believes it, but Concubine Li... Could it be that the rumors are wrong?

"And what kind of sentimentality is she?"

"When Concubine Li was alive, she often sighed that 'the falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless', even if Her Majesty is a pet in the pepper room, she can't comfort her panicked heart. His Majesty gave her the word 'Li', which is to fancy her good looks, and she is often worried about the decay of Aichi, so she has a deep hostility towards the harem mothers, and is worried that one day, she will take away her grace. ”

"Alas, also a poor man. Zhiying sighed.

"Well, she's not only pathetic, but also cute. ”

"Cute?"

"Yes, the county lord is knowledgeable, don't you hear that 'sentimentality is unforgettable, only the romance is long', Concubine Li has an indescribable charm. ”

No wonder, there are many beauties in the harem, and a good-looking face may not be used, but coupled with the charm of the show, it is very different.

"Then how did she fall out of favor when she was so powerful?"

"As the saying goes, things must be opposed, Concubine Li has been favored for ten years, and if Your Majesty stays in other places for a little longer, it will cause her dissatisfaction. At first, His Majesty only thought she was coquettish, and he thought it was funny, so he had to rely on her, but gradually, she became more and more hysterical, and His Majesty lost patience and looked elsewhere. ”

Zhiying shook his head, the most ruthless emperor family, grace is unreliable in the end.

"The county lord doesn't have to worry, I think His Majesty also looks at the county lord differently, but the love of the elders for the younger generations, this kind of affection is more reliable than grace. ”

Holding Ying was surprised, a little palace maid could see it so thoroughly? No wonder Concubine Li died, she could still be safe and sound.

"County Lord, it's not too early, please move to Chonghua Palace. ”

Zhiying got up when she heard this, let Qiu Lu support her, and the lotus step moved lightly, and her posture was full.

Chonghua Palace is only open for important banquets, such as Chinese New Year's Eve, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, plus today's Chongyang, and occasionally receives foreign envoys here, only a few times a year. However, the atmosphere and luxury here are unmatched by other palaces. Chonghua Palace was built in the founding of the country for ten years, after one hundred and twenty years, it finally has the current scale, the emperors of all dynasties are very attached to here, the materials in the palace are exquisite, the carving is exquisite, unsurpassed.

Standing here, I just feel very small. It's no wonder that the people in the palace are all above the top, and they don't dare to enter this palace without any momentum.

She sat in her place, looking at the various postures of the people in front of her, and only felt extremely depressed in her heart. Everyone present greeted each other with a smile on their faces, and accepted the scrutiny of others with the most perfect attitude. They compliment each other, carefully looking for the flaws of others while not forgetting to hide their own weaknesses. She sat down for a cup of tea, and there were not a few people who came and went to ask for peace, and she also learned from them to show a dignified smile, as if she was a real county lord. She couldn't tell if she was acting or if she was supposed to be like this.

With a sound of "The emperor has arrived", Zhiying finally came back to his senses from the entanglement. She joined the crowd in greeting and taking a seat to enjoy the dancers' performances. There is Qiu Lu standing behind him, whether it is pouring tea or picking vegetables, you don't have to do it yourself.

At the end of the dance, everyone laughed and laughed. At this time, an old minister got up and offered to have his daughter write a poem to help the fun.

Zhiying noticed that the old minister was older than the emperor, and his daughter's age was almost the same as his own, so there was no doubt that she was an old woman. It's really old-hearted, at such an old age, he still learns from others to be competitive, and he still wants to be addicted to being a national ruler, but it's a pity that he is like a flower-like daughter. Why didn't he dedicate his daughter to the crown prince? Zhiying wondered, so there is a hope, in case the crown princess has three long and two short, his daughter will not have a chance, dedicated to the emperor, and she will be a noble concubine in the sky, not to mention that the harem is not only important for grace, but also important for heirs and seniority.

This is by no means alarmist, the low-level concubines of all dynasties are basically like this, if they want to change their lives against the sky, one in ten thousand people may not succeed.

Without waiting for Zhiying to lament the fate of the girl, a new change appeared.

Another minister got up from his seat and bowed to the emperor. It turned out that his son and the old minister's daughter had already made up their minds, and now they have rebelled, so how will the two families get along in the future, and where will they be father and son?

Zhiying was dumbfounded, and this is happening?

When the emperor heard this, his face was a little unbearable. are all old people, and I like the little girl, but I already have a fiancé, and I can't rob a woman with a hairy boy. He has always been majestic, he can't see anything on the surface, and he gave them a marriage on the spot, but he can't help but complain in his heart, what did his courtiers do? If it was in private, it would be forgotten, and no one would dare to make a mistake if it was suppressed by the power of heaven, but the royal system could not be lost in the grand court.

Zhi Ying thought it was funny, it is said that as an official to do this duty, they are all people who are like human spirits, how can they make such low-level mistakes? One or two, the boat capsized in the gutter is not said to be the same, I am afraid that there is a problem here.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the queen immediately came out to play a round, this is what she is best at, anyway, she has been like this for half her life, she doesn't care who the emperor is pleased with, she is still the queen, no matter who is favored, this will not change.
