Chapter 437: Meet the Guifei and the Twin Confrontations
Qixiang Palace is the emperor's bedroom, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, this July is hot, it should be sultry, but it is very cool, but Li Mi and Zheng Guifei had a conversation, the two got closer and closer, and their eyes became more and more confused, as if the air around them had changed to a pink color.
Both of them are also aware of this problem, and this kind of atmosphere seems to be beyond the scope of courtiers and concubines, but no one knows what to do to alleviate it for a while.
Fortunately, Wang An, who was outside, suddenly coughed dryly twice, and Li Micai took the opportunity to retract his steps and saluted to Concubine Zheng with his hand.
"Weichen is offended, and he also asks the mother to forgive him, but the right people are the minister's heartfelt words, and the matter is concerned about the safety of the palace, and I also ask the mother to solve the doubts."
Li Mi took a step back, and Concubine Zheng Guifei also breathed a sigh of relief, even after three or five steps, Li Mi could clearly see that her pink and delicate skin had oozed shiny sweat, her chest rose and fell very obviously, and it was estimated that her heart would not be too calm.
But after all, the atmosphere was eased, and Concubine Zheng also took the opportunity to walk back, flicked her sleeves, sat down, and said to Li Mi.
"That Zhang Ming has been in the palace for more than ten years, his hands and feet are clean, he is diligent, and his heart and eyes are exquisite, he is a good slave maid, but he is a little feminine in his plainness, there are so many slaves and maids in this palace, where can this palace manage it?"
Li Mi was relieved when she saw Concubine Zheng open her mouth, and she was most afraid that she would not say a word, as long as she spoke, it would be easy to do.
"Where is this Zhang Ming from, and who brought it into the palace? How did it get into Niangniang's palace? ”
Concubine Zheng Guifei is also a noble person who forgets things, and rubbed her temples at this time, I don't know if she is covering up the embarrassment of Shicai, or if she is recalling the past, and only after a while did she say to Li Mi.
"When I entered the palace, the first concubine, he was by my side at that time, and it was Long Live Lord who asked him to come over to serve, but later the palace learned that someone recommended Tian Yi that Zhang Ming got this opportunity."
When Li Mi heard this, he was also shocked, and asked Zheng Guifei: "Who recommended him?" ”
Concubine Zheng frowned and tried to think about it for a while, but finally shook her head and said to Li Mi: "It's a little long, but I can't remember it clearly, it seems to be ...... Is it Shen Li, or Shen has always ......"
"No, Shen Li hadn't won the favor of the saint at that time...... Shen consistently? At that time, it was not yet developed...... Let's let this palace think about it, in short, it is a courtier surnamed Shen......"
Zheng Guifei tried hard to recall, at least it showed that she had begun to cooperate, and Li Mi was not easy to urge, but as soon as the surname Shen was mentioned, Li Mi couldn't help but think of someone, so he tentatively mentioned it.
"Shen Bingyi?"
Li Mi is actually just a flash of inspiration, after all, Shen Bingyi is a figure like Shi Shiyong, Concubine Wang Gong trusts him so much, this person must have a lot of ability, he is not a eunuch, but he can take Concubine Wang Gong out of the palace, just this alone, it is enough to see this person's wrist!
Moreover, this person has always given Li Mi a kind of intuition that is not *hearted, this intuition is like instinct, just like seeing a dark cave and smelling a tiger's smell, even if you can't see the real tiger, it also makes people have an extremely strong sense of crisis.
Unexpectedly, when Concubine Zheng heard this name, her eyes lit up, and she said to Li Mi: "It's this person!" How do you know? ”
Li Mi also smiled bitterly, if Zhang Ming was recommended by Shen Bingyi to Concubine Zheng's side, then Shen Bingyi's ambition would be too big!
One is Zhu Yijun's favorite and favorite Concubine Zheng Guifei, and the other is Zhu Yijun's most disgusted and coldest Concubine Wang Gong, and the sons of the two are the most likely candidates to become the successor of the empire, but Shen Bingyi is secretly holding the control line at both ends!
"Could it be that Shen Bingyi is a person from Taiping Dao?" Li Mi inevitably had such a question in his heart.
"Niangniang, does Zhang Ming have a favorite place to go in the palace, or is there a ...... Let's put it this way, Weichen thinks that Zhang Ming is lurking in the palace for something or to spy on some secrets, does Niangniang have any thoughts about this? ”
"Something?" Concubine Zheng Guifei thought about it, shook her head, and said to Li Mi: "Shicai Bengong has already said that Zhang Ming's temperament is eccentric, but his hands and feet are very clean, and he is also very well-behaved, and he is locked in the room most of the time, and he doesn't break around, so he shouldn't have other plans......
"That's strange......" Li Mi couldn't figure out Shen Bingyi's intentions for a while, but what is certain is that Shen Bingyi is by no means as indisputable as he seems!
If he can recommend Zhang Ming, maybe he can also find an internal response for Zhang Gu, if he can install his own people next to Concubine Wang Gong and Concubine Zheng Guifei, then what about Concubine Li Jing or even the queen? Will there be more of his work?
The more Li Mi thought about it, the more frightened he became, if Shen Bingyi was a person from Taiping Dao, he was afraid that Taiping Dao would control the entire harem, which meant that there would be more people under his control!
"Niangniang knows that this Ming Ping Suri has a close father-in-law or ...... Or a palace maid? ”
The palace is also lonely, even if the eunuch has been castrated and has no function as a man, but there is still desire and thirst in the heart, and the palace maids are also empty, so the eunuchs and palace maids usually form a relationship of "eating and eating".
This "food" is actually to live together and send lonely fake couples to each other, although it doesn't sound very clean, but the palace is tacit, and even the emperor has not intervened or even acquiesced.
According to Concubine Zheng, Zhang Ming is an extremely withdrawn and autistic person, and Li Mi's question seems a bit redundant.
But since Zhang Ming is a person from Taiping Dao, he must get in touch with the outside world, and if he locks himself in the room, there must be someone to deliver the news for him!
However, when Zheng Guifei heard this, she also pondered for a moment, but in the end she just shook her head and said to Li Mi.
"Although Zhang Ming is a good slave, but he is not so interested in this palace, why don't I find someone to help you ask."
When Concubine Zheng said this, she coughed, and a person came out behind her, and it was an old woman with gray hair!
Li Mi was also a little frightened, but he didn't expect that there was a person hiding behind Zheng Guifei all the time, and the conversation between Shi Cai and Zheng Guifei was not heard by this old woman!
"Mother-in-law, did you hear that?"
The old woman nodded, and then said to Concubine Zheng, "Yes, the slave heard it." ”
Then she turned to Li Mi and replied, "Lord Li, the eunuch Zhang Ming did not eat in pairs, because he did not look down on women, but he had a close relationship with the eunuchs of the Wei Dynasty......
"Wei Dynasty?" Li Mi is a little familiar with this name, but he can't remember who it is, in fact, this Wei Dynasty is known as the eunuch of the Three Dynasties, and has experienced the three emperors of Wanli, Taichang and Tianqi.
The most well-known deed of the Wei Dynasty is to recommend Wei Zhongxian to the palace, and recommended Wei Zhongxian to the great eunuch Wang An, and his future palace maid is the Hakka Keyinyue, who is known for her charming* and viciousness!
Ke Yinyue is the nurse of Zhu Youxiao, the eldest grandson of the emperor, and Zhu Youxiao has an unusual fascination and respect for this nurse, so she is very important.
Wei Zhongxian snatched the Hakka clan from the hands of the Wei Dynasty, colluded with the Hakka clan, stole the power, and finally took revenge and dealt with the eunuch Wei Dynasty of the Three Dynasties.
It can be said that if there is no recommendation from the Wei Dynasty, there will be no Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian will not meet the Hakka family, and he will not get the great authority in the future, let alone make waves in the government and the opposition!
It's a pity that Li Mi is not familiar with history, otherwise it should be easy to grasp this sensitive information point.
Li Mi didn't have any impression of this, and the mother-in-law also saw Li Mi's confusion, and immediately explained: "This Wei Dynasty is a person under the hands of the Grand Duke of Wang An, and Lord Li still asks the Grand Duke more clearly." ”
Saying this, the mother-in-law retreated, it seems that there are also some kind of masters, what kind of slaves and maids, this mother-in-law obviously does not look down on Li Mi.
Concubine Zheng was also a little proud at this time, her eyes seemed to say, everything that happened today is witnessed, you Li Mi dare to be rude to me in the future, this palace is not polite.
Li Mi looked at Zheng Guifei's smile, and also shook his head, Li Mi didn't dare to publicize this kind of thing, after all, it was not good for anyone, so he looked outside at this time, what a clever old fox Wang An was, when he walked in.
"Father-in-law, Niangniang said that Eunuch Zhang Ming has a close relationship with one of your subordinates, so I want to ask you a question or two."
"My people?" Wang An immediately frowned, after all, there were too many people under his hands, and he was in control of the entire East Factory, in addition, there were many eunuchs and so on.
"Yes, it is called the Wei Dynasty, does my father-in-law have an impression?"
"Wei Dynasty? It turned out to be him, but he was a good boy with neat hands and feet, and he had been in the palace for a long time, and he was also diligent in his service, but I didn't expect him to be involved with Zhang Ming......"
When Wang An said this, he recognized the relationship, and Li Mi was a lot more relieved, but Zheng Guifei complained to Wang An.
"Wang An, in the end, the problem lies with your twelve prisons, it's better for you to bring Master Li to me to find the root, people are not old yet, why are you so confused."
Wang An is also sweating like rain, Li Mi dares to provoke Concubine Zheng, he Wang An doesn't dare, he is not Tian Yi, he has not had a friendship with Zhu Yijun for more than ten years, everything today is his trembling and hard work.
And like Chen Ju and others, they are also good candidates for the big eunuch, how many people are waiting for him to fall out of favor, if Concubine Zheng blows the pillow wind in front of the emperor, it is not difficult to pinch him Wang An at all!
Li Mi knew very well how much Wang An helped him, and he didn't believe that Concubine Zheng would be angry with Wang An because of this, so he stood up to help Wang An speak.
"Niangniang, don't be wrong to blame the princess, this is all Weichen's idea, if you want to blame, blame Weichen."
Concubine Zheng Guifei glanced at Li Mi, and said meaningfully: "Lord Li is now a celebrity in front of Lord Wansui, how dare this palace reproach Lord Li." ”
Li Mi was also embarrassed, Wang An next to him was about to bend over and fall to the ground, taking advantage of this gap, Li Mi raised his head slightly, and stared directly at Concubine Zheng again.
Concubine Zheng couldn't stand Li Mi's eyes the most, her face suddenly turned red, and she waved her hand and said: "Okay, okay, get out, this palace is annoying when it looks at you, this matter is up to you to mess around, don't come to disturb this palace, thank God!" ”
Li Mi smiled at this time and thanked Concubine Zheng: "Thank you for your magnanimity, so I won't bother." ”
Saying this, Li Mi left the dormitory with Wang An, and when he arrived outside the door, Wang An breathed a long sigh of relief and said to Li Mi: "Thank you, Lord Li." ”
Li Mi saw Wang An like this, and he was also full of emotion, everyone thought that the overseer of Dongchang was above ten thousand people under one person, and he could do whatever he wanted, and he was unscrupulous, but he knew that they were so groveling and trembling in front of the emperor and concubine?
Of course, this is enough to show that Wang An is a good eunuch, just compare it with Wei Zhongxian, who dares to call himself nine thousand years old, and it will be clear.
Li Mi also waved his hand, not taking this matter to heart, Wang An worked harder, and hurriedly led Li Mi to find the Wei Dynasty.
