It's nighttime.

Yanjia Palace.

When Xu Hui saw Mei Niang returning, she hurriedly dropped the scroll in her hand, first relieved her body and then held tea to quench her thirst before smiling:

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin asked you to play chess again? It's really ......."

"Alas...... Don't mention it. This kid has really been getting more and more excessively lately. ”

Thinking of today's Tai Chi Hall for a while, Mei Niang's face turned slightly red, and then she said:

"By the way, I didn't accompany you today, what are you going to do?"

"What else can I do?"

Xu Hui asked, because he said with a smile:

"In addition to turning around this annoying Tai Chi Palace, and accompanying a few ladies to talk, what else can there be?"

Mei Niang saw that she looked lonely, so she put her cheeks and said with a smile:

"Oh, didn't you shout that this Tai Chi Palace was too small two days ago, and you were so depressed that you couldn't go out to take a breath...... Why is it too big today?

Ahhhh......h I understand, it turns out that when Your Majesty is here, it will be small, and when Your Majesty is not there, it will become bigger?

Uh-huh...... Sure enough, the name of the palace is Tai Chi, and the changes are endless! ”

Xu Hui saw her making fun of her, her little face turned red and scolded her for being flamboyant, so she wanted to beat. Mei Niang hurriedly dodged and smiled:

"Amitabha, did I say something wrong to make you hate me so much?"

"I hear you have an unclean mouth...... A few days ago, it was obvious that you shouted that there was nowhere to go in the palace, so I answered you a few words...... I don't want you to say this about me today...... See if I don't clean you up! See if I don't clean up your sharp mouth......"

The two little sisters were laughing all the time, provoking Ryan, who was just going to be the new waiter (in charge of the key), to come and laugh.

After the two frolicked, Mei Niang stopped and said with a smile:

"Okay, don't make trouble, let me ask you, in the past two days, have you had a lot of dealings with Concubine Shu?"

Xu Hui could talk to her about everything, so he blushed and lowered his head:

"I'm thinking, if the lady can be the queen, let's make friends with her, it's always good."

"Hmm...... I'm afraid that I still have some selfishness, thinking that from this lady's concubine, maybe I can see Your Majesty a few more times? Mei Niang smiled and provoked her heart.

Xu Hui's face turned red and his expression was sad:

"I haven't seen Your Majesty for a long time, and I'm really ...... Some miss him. Mei Niang, I don't care who Your Majesty loves, as long as you can get some news, it's good. That's why ......"

That's why I ran to Concubine Shuniang in a hurry, thinking that I could get some letters from His Majesty. But how do you know that Your Majesty and Concubine Niangniang are not as close as you think, yes or no? ”

"How do you know?"

"Silly girl...... Mei Niang nodded her forehead with a smile, hugged her clothes, and went out of the hall to take a look first, and saw Ryan and the new waiter leaving. Then he came back again, and told her what he had said to the young slave today, and whispered:

"Hui'er, do you understand?"

When Xu Hui heard this, his face flushed with joy, and he nodded and smiled: "You...... It turns out that it is for these reasons that I have played chess with the child slave until now? ”

"Not really!" Mei Niang smiled: "That kid has played chess a few times these days, and I have to treat him once." Whenever he asked, he would say these things. It's just that I just happened to ask tonight. Okay Hui'er, it's good that you understand, but this matter must be concealed properly. As soon as you come, I'm afraid that someone will know Your Majesty's thoughts, and run to your Majesty to invite you to pet, and you will have to look at others with a depressed face...... Second, the main reason is that His Majesty will not like women to guess his heart like this - most men are like this, they like women to be smart, but they don't like women to be too smart.

That's what my dad taught me. ”

"You, you...... What are you talking about! Xu Hui listened to her teach herself like this, and she didn't follow it, and her face was flushed and she laughed.

By the window, there was a sudden gust of wind, but only the corners of the curtain were forcefully moved, and there was silence after all.

A moment later, inside the Great Ji Palace.

Hearing the details of the report from the little eunuch brought by Liu Siyao, Concubine De nodded and said with a smile:

"You're doing a great job. On the first day I went in, I found out what was so important...... Peony, reward. ”

"Yes."

Smelling the reward, the little eunuch smiled and nodded:

"Everything is still Concubine De's good plan, otherwise the slave will not be able to enter the Yanjia Palace! You can't let Narui's father-in-law be credited. ”

Concubine De nodded, watched Liu Siyao take the money and hand it over to him, and then closed her eyes and said:

"Today, you are on duty for the first time, and it can be said that you are lost and returned late...... In the future, if there is any news, it will be the same, and those people will be used to spread it! lest they be suspicious. ”

"Yes."

……

Liu Siyao watched the little eunuch leave, and then said with a smile:

"Niangniang is really clever, first designed the inner chamber of the Yanjia Hall because of illness, and then prepared our people in the inner chamberlain early to save the use of the Yanjia Palace...... Now, we can know all the news about Yanjia Hall in the future. ”

"After all, those two girls are still too young, even if they are young slaves. Otherwise, I should have understood that in this forbidden palace, in my own palace, the most important thing is to guard the door hall, as well as the minions of watering flowers, washing clothes, and preparing food......"

Liu Siyao nodded with a smile, and said:

"But I don't know what Niangniang thinks, how true or false is what the Lord Jin and Wu Meiniang said this time?"

"False, it can't be fake. Didn't we already make a clear judgment before, Your Majesty's trip must have a deep meaning? I'm afraid that I will take this opportunity to do a trick to startle the snake. ”

Concubine De still closed her eyes.

Liu Siyao nodded and said: "In this way, the slave and maid will write a letter to warn Lord Yin and His Royal Highness King Qi about this matter, so that they must be tricked." ”

"That's true."

Concubine De slowly opened her eyes, and there was a cold light in her eyes:

"Your Majesty's plan must have listened to the words of the eldest grandson Wuji...... I want to use this to get rid of the remnants of my Yin family...... is so vicious, if this palace continues to be merciful and let it be bullied, I am afraid that sooner or later You'er's life will not be guaranteed.

No, this palace has to think of a way to fold the momentum of this eldest grandson Wuji, it's best to ...... can make His Majesty lose his faith in him. ”

Liu Siyao thought for a while:

"What do you mean?"

Concubine De turned the Buddha beads in her hand, hung down the green silk that was scattered all over her head, gathered the robe on her body and thought for a while, and finally sat upright, and called Liu Si to mutter a few words to him in front of the medicine store.

Liu Siyao was overjoyed when he heard it:

"Mother's plan is wonderful! As soon as this incident came out, at least the eldest grandson Wuji would no longer be able to reach the sky with his hands and eyes, and he could actually watch one or two in the palace! ”

Concubine De sighed:

"It's just...... After all, it affected the Nawu clan...... Hope she doesn't blame me. ”

The cold wind whined, stirring the wind curtain.

A moment later.

Splendid Palace.

Concubine Shu was not happy today, so she fell asleep early.

Fang Fang was promoted to the third of the six Shang Qingxuan, who was taking advantage of the rare early bed of the concubine, sitting outside the dormitory, picking up the night light to handle some affairs, and suddenly saw a small maid rushing in.

Because he knew that it was arranged in the Daji Palace, Dian Que Ying'er (Dian Bon, the third of the six canons among the female officials, mainly responsible for the clothes and accessories, balm bathing, and under the management of the five Shang dormitories of the six monks), he hurriedly put down his pen and got up to welcome him.

Ying'er didn't say much, just looked at the inner bed:

"Mother's rested?"

"What's the matter?"

"There is movement in the Daji Hall today." So he whispered to Qing Xuan about today's events, and said:

"Sister Qingxuan, how is it now? The Yin Concubine's move is intended to be sure of the mother. And Yanjiadian will take this opportunity to win His Majesty's favor, and then the mother will ......"

"Is it Ying'er? What's the matter......"

The lazy voice of the concubine came from the inner bed. Ying'er glanced at Qingxuan at this time, and said to Concubine Shu:

"Disturb the mother's dream, and hope that the mother will forgive the sins."

Shufei Yu's hands are slender, the gauze curtain is opened, the black hair is scattered, and the charming eyes are full of charm. Seeing Ying'er like this, she smiled and said that it was okay, and after she got up, she said with concern:

"Ying'er, come here so late, but what's going on in the Daji Palace?"

"Exactly, mother. In the Daji Palace, eyeliner has been arranged in the Yanjia Palace. And after the investigation of the Daji Palace, I actually knew some news that was extremely unfavorable to Niangniang and our Splendid Palace and even His Royal Highness King Wu, and it was only the slave and maid who boldly returned at night. ”

Smelling that it was unfavorable to Li Ke, Concubine Shu's face was correct: "Say." ”

"Niangniang, I found out in the Daji Palace, and Wu Meiniang of the Yanjia Palace learned from His Royal Highness the King of Jin that His Majesty has been abnormal, and even ...... Even take advantage of the mother's ......

It was actually intended to attract the Daji Hall and the Yin clan to make a move, so it was determined that it was the eldest grandson Wuji's doing, which would be detrimental to the eldest grandson Wuji and us......"

Concubine Shu was relieved when she heard this, and said with a smile: "What should be the matter in this palace...... This is something that Hongu has thought of a long time ago. And that Concubine Yin really thought that His Majesty was targeting her Yin clan? ”

"Yes."

"Humph! What's more, His Majesty's move was originally intended to test the kings outside the palace, but I didn't expect her to take the bait first when she couldn't hold her breath...... Let her go. Let's just watch the show. ”

"Yes. But Niangniang, the slave maid heard that Concubine Nade wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of the eyes and ears of the eldest grandson Wuji in the palace. Niangniang, I'm afraid I'm going to attack the two people in Yanjiadian. Shall we ignore it? Are we also like the Great Ji Palace, and sent people to Yanjia Palace? ”

When Concubine Shu heard this, she thought about it for a moment and smiled:

"This lunar moon has finally grown a little...... But we don't have to participate. Remember, never get your hands dirty. Moreover, Ying'er, since the Daji Hall has already arranged for people to enter the Yanjia Palace, it is equivalent to our Splendid Palace can also see everything in the Yanjia Palace. Got it? ”

Ying'er naturally understood, and thanked Concubine Shu for her trust and said, "Don't worry, the slave understands." ”

……

After Ying'er left, Qing Xuancai said: "Niangniang, everything is as you expected, Your Majesty's original intention was to guard against the kings, but it caused the Daji Hall to be uneasy. ”

"When this Taiji Palace was still Daxing Palace, the palace also saw that my father had used such a method to stir up the palace...... Speaking of which, it's just a few former ideas. Concubine Shu smiled lightly, and said tenderly:

"It's just that with His Majesty's wisdom, he is more thoughtful than his father. The father just took the opportunity of snubbing the queen mother to find out if any of the concubines in the palace had collusion with the palace.

His Majesty was able to do this so carefully and kill three birds with one stone...... Sure enough, His Majesty is wise. ”

Qing Xuan knew Concubine Shu's intentions, and said with a smile: "Isn't it?" The most important thing is that the first emperor (Emperor Yang) and the successive (Empress Xiao) had a deep love and trusted each other. Now His Majesty is also acting in the same way...... It can be seen that His Majesty really loves his mother. ”

Concubine Shu smiled silently, and said after a while: "Yes, let's watch them fight, and in the end, the more troublesome they have, the more Your Majesty's heart will be won - just look at the young slave." ”

"Niangniang, speaking of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, this matter, should we just watch Concubine De take the second daughter of Yanjia Hall down?"

"Qingxuan, the second daughter of Yanjiadian, seems to have the help of the eldest grandson, and is guarded by everyone. However, in fact, the two daughters' means are simple. In addition, they are friendly with the young slaves, and they always get help from one or two.

The most important thing is to treat the enemy as your friend, and great things will be accomplished. Among the three of Wei, Yin, and Yan, except for the Yan family, who has been unmoving, and the Wei family, who seems to have just returned to favor, but is actually sunset, at present, Yin Yuehua is the biggest obstacle for us at present. We need to uproot this great auspicious hall first, so that we can carry out the method of calculating the plan, so that Your Majesty's suspicious plan will eventually become an opportunity for Ke'er to take the throne. ”

Qing Xuan nodded and said, "Then what do you think, what should we do?" ”

"This palace said that Yin Yuehua has also grown a little. This time, she was afraid that she was going to take the opportunity to move. Qingxuan, you said, Your Majesty is a dignified Tang Mingjun and a hot-blooded man......

You have also read some history books, tell me, what is the most taboo of the ancient emperors? Men, what do you hate the most? ”

Qing Xuan suddenly said: "Qing Xuan understands, Qing Xuan will arrange it." ”

"Remember, let the slave know about it." Concubine Shu smiled.

Qing Xuan served Concubine Shu to lie down, and said with a smile: "Qing Xuan knows that Niang Niang has already commanded that the only person in this palace who can work with us with one heart and one mind is His Royal Highness King Jin." Niangniang, don't worry, rest first, Qingxuan will go and arrange it. ”

Concubine Shu nodded with a smile and slowly fell asleep with a smile.

Qing Xuan quietly left the Splendid Palace.
