Not long after I returned to the Incense Pavilion, the queen sent someone to bring a reward. It was Wei Zi, the palace maid who served the queen the most, who was over twenty-five years old and did not let go of the palace, but stayed with the queen. Everyone else will call her aunt.

Wei Zi handed me a pair of jasper bracelets, a set of gold heads and a string of eighteen agate necklaces sent by the queen, and said: "The queen said that Ji Cairen has been wronged today, and the queen knows it in her heart, but Zheng Guifei has always been like this, so don't care too much." ”

My eyes were red, and I snorted: "The concubine is a humble person, where can she dare to disobey the concubine Niangniang, what she said is also true." It just made the queen mother worried, and the concubines were even more frightened. Aunt Lao replied to the queen's mother, the mother's teachings, and the concubines have all written it down, and they will not live up to the queen's mother. ”

Wei Zi pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Talented people are really polite, what do you say to live up to it." That's it, the slave will report to the queen. Then his tone changed, his eyes showed disdain, and he said: "If you want to say that Zheng Guifei, it is too much, and she embarrassed the talent in front of the queen's mother." ”

I lowered my head, and I didn't know what to do, so I said crampedly: "The concubine has offended the concubine Niangniang somewhere, and made her so unhappy......"

Wei Zi said coldly: "It's been a long time since a woman like a talented person in the palace has entered the palace, presumably Concubine Zheng Guifei is not happy to be angry with you." Then he realized that what she said was too presumptuous, so he smiled again: "Actually, Zheng Guifei is like this, and it will be over to lose a little temper." ”

I looked up at her and smiled, and said, "Thank you aunt for mentioning it, I just entered the palace, and there are things that are not careful, and I hope my aunt will teach me more." "After that, I took off a pair of Jin Chuan from my wrist and stuffed it into her hand, but she refused to accept it, but seeing that I insisted on doing so, she had to accept it.

As soon as she is gone, I will let the equinox collect the queen's reward. According to the custom, not only the queen, but also the concubines and above will be rewarded to me. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Concubine Zheng's reward to come, although she didn't like me, but the rules were unbreakable. She was rewarded with two antique vases, a gold hairpin, and a tourmaline bracelet. In fact, antique vases are the most useless, can only be placed to see, even if they are placed in the fear of accidentally breaking one day, it is more troublesome. Then there is the reward of the concubine, which is a pair of golden steps, two pairs of pearl earrings, and a jade Ruyi. Because it can't cross the queen and Concubine Zheng, it is not precious, but the implication is excellent, and it is both swinging and wishful.

I had lunch at noon, and I was about to take a nap when the emperor's decree and reward came. I was promoted to a four-grade beauty, and I was rewarded with a set of heads, a box of jewelry, eight brocades, and the rest of the three hundred taels of silver, twenty pieces of gold leaves, a bag of gold bills, a bag of gold beans, and a bag of gold melon seeds, all of which were used to reward people.

I accepted the decree and received the reward, so I gave the father-in-law five gold leaves and a handful of golden beans, and after the father-in-law smiled and took it and left, I gave a handful of golden melon seeds to everyone in the palace who was serving, so that they could serve me well and be loyal to me.

"When you have taken my reward, you will know what to do, and you will definitely receive much more in the future than you do now. So, do you all understand?" I know that my current appearance is completely similar to the way I saw Wei Zi just now, and they must have been shocked by me, and everyone lowered their heads and looked trembling.

"Yes, the slave (slave) understands. "Although they are superficially promised, who knows what they really think in their hearts?

The emperor did not come to me in the evening, and I didn't need to inquire to know that he had corrected the recital in the Qinzheng Palace all night, because the next day, the news came that he was going to personally conquer the Turks.

Without the certainty of victory, the emperor could not personally conquer, because once lost, the morale of our army would be greatly affected. I know that this time they fought beautifully, and ushered in peace for the Celestial Empire for many years. At least in the year of my death, both countries were peaceful.

In this personal expedition, the emperor not only went by himself, but also brought the second prince born to Concubine Zheng Guifei. The discussion of the second prince being appointed as the prince is getting louder and louder, and the second prince has the power of Zheng Guifei's mother's family, and he has experience in the army, so his chances of winning are getting bigger and bigger.

With this kind of situation that even I can see clearly, I don't understand why the Seven Princes still choose to be unconvinced and resist. Maybe he thinks that he is younger and has a lot of opportunities, maybe he thinks that the power of his mother clan is not inferior to the second prince, but he is too young after all, where is the opponent of the second prince with deep thoughts?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shake my head and sigh, no matter how the seventh prince wants to compete with the second prince, as long as it doesn't affect my father. Fortunately, there are still six years to go, and I should still have time to deploy and stop that from happening.

I didn't see the emperor again before the expedition, but I heard that he stayed with the queen for one night, with the concubine for one night, Wang Zhaoyi for one night, Xu Chongrong for one night, but Zheng Guifei stayed for two nights.

Ten days later, the queen, Zheng Guifei and Concubine He sent away the emperor's personal expedition in Hanyuan Square in front of Hanyuan Palace.

As soon as the emperor left, the entire harem seemed to have turned into a pool of stagnant water, silent and gloomy.

The queen spared us from morning and dusk because of her physical discomfort, and Concubine Zheng probably thought that I just had a good skin, so I didn't have anything to fear, and she didn't treat me as an opponent at all, so she didn't embarrass me. Besides, when the second prince went to the battlefield, the most she did every day was to send someone to inquire about the news of the second prince, and then bow to the Bodhisattva in her palace a few more times.

As a result, my life is a bit boring.

If you used to be at home, you wouldn't be able to share the time in a day. Because I have to practice the piano, read books, practice calligraphy, and sometimes practice dance and embroidery, I feel that one day is not enough. But here, naturally I can't practice dancing, I don't have any books to read, and I didn't bring the piano at home, because I don't like embroidery, so I can only learn calligraphy.

After a month like this, my right-hand handwriting has become better and better. Because at home, I practice left-handed characters, copying the willow body, and the right-hand copying face, but it is not as smooth as the left-handed. I didn't expect that this time because I was bored, I was able to calm down and write well.

After taking a nap that day, because I felt suffocated in the house, I wanted to go out for a walk, and I didn't let anyone follow, so I wore a white shirt inside, an apricot skirt on the bottom, tied with an orange belt, and a collarless white background embroidered with goose yellow willow green auspicious cloud pattern on the outside of the half-arm. Combed a single screw bun, and did not insert a hairpin ring, so I walked to Penglai Pond.
