Chapter 40: Whoever Kills the Deer
Today is a rare good weather in the capital, and the palace maids and concubines of the harem also come out to bask in the sun.
The Imperial Garden is very lively, and people who rarely walk on the road on weekdays have also come out today. It's really a good weather better than a holy decree from the emperor.
Wanjun also dressed up carefully today, wearing a light green dripping emerald skirt that lined her skin tone, and holding a small folding fan in her hand. Xiyan chose a light pink skirt with a jade pendant hanging around her waist to embellish. On the whole, the two of them are mainly elegant and quiet, and they will not look too greasy.
"Xiyan, the weather is really good today, it has been rainy for several days, but today it is sunny, so tepid!"
"Yes, you see they all came out to dry the bedding."
The two of them chatted and walked to the Imperial Garden, they heard the bustling sound before they arrived, and when they walked in, it was so lively, even the gods and goddesses who had not seen them on weekdays also appeared one by one.
"Yo, aren't these the two favorites around the emperor? Why are you interested in coming to this imperial garden today? ”
Concubine Zhuang still has the same style, and she came over to laugh at her.
"Let's go, let's go, ignore this crazy woman."
Wanjun glared at Concubine Zhuang and walked away with Xiyan.
Unexpectedly, what he said was heard by Concubine Zhuang, and she shouted: "Who is the crazy woman?" You are really bold, more and more lawless, now you can say me, you can say the queen another day, according to this, are you not the emperor in your eyes? ”
Concubine Zhuang walked up to the queen and said, "Sister, these two people are too arrogant, they are simply no one in their eyes, if they are not treated, they will not be overturned." ”
As the lord of the six palaces, although the queen can't get used to the two of them in her heart, she still has to be sensible on the surface.
She walked up to Wanjun and said: "Since you two are male favorites, just like us, you are mainly serving the emperor, you must remember, don't start infighting, don't cause chaos to the emperor!" ”
After the queen finished speaking, her body turned to Concubine Zhuang and looked into Concubine Zhuang's eyes. She hoped that Concubine Zhuang could stop it and stop being unreasonable.
"Sister, you have also seen that the two of them are really arrogant, if they continue like this, I am afraid that they will ......"
"Okay, okay, the sun is shining today, let's walk and chat in this garden together."
The queen stopped Concubine Zhuang in time, she didn't want her to continue.
"Humph!"
Concubine Zhuang stomped her feet and glared at Wanjun and Xiyan and retreated.
"Come, you guys come and go."
The queen beckoned to Wanjun and Xiyan and asked them to come and walk with her.
"Yes, sissy."
"I haven't talked to the two of you yet, and I haven't understood what you think, you can tell this palace today, no matter what it is, this palace will try its best to help you solve it."
Although the queen wants them to say what is in their hearts and express their opinions on the harem. But she is just perfunctory, how many friends can you have in this harem, and how many people can help you solve your problems?
Especially the concubines in the harem, they seem to be harmonious and harmonious on the surface, but behind the scenes, they wish they died one by one early. Although the queen is the mother of the country, she still believes in the law of the harem.
"Hui Niangniang, everything is fine with us."
Xiyan replied with a smile.
"That's good, the emperor has every opportunity, and he may be neglecting you, so I can only manage the harem, you have also seen, even the harem is a lot of things, if you don't take care of it, I hope you don't take it to heart."
"Niangniang, no, with your words, we are relieved."
Wanjun knew that the queen was talking officially, if she really thought about them, she would not have asked them in front of so many people.
"That's good, as long as everyone is doing well, they can serve the emperor wholeheartedly. Only when the emperor is healthy and happy, my people will be happy! ”
"What Niangniang said is very much, we will work together to assist the emperor."
All the concubines are convinced that the queen understands the righteousness and is not impressed by personal grievances that have disturbed the rules of the palace. Maybe the queen should be like this, how can a woman like Concubine Zhuang be convinced?
......
"What a Du Wanjun, he dared to make me ugly in front of so many people, he was angry with me, angry with me."
Concubine Zhuang was so angry that she paced around the room, and she really couldn't swallow this breath.
"Du Wanjun is not dead, it is difficult to sleep in this palace!"
Concubine Zhuang's eyes were extremely red, and she panicked as soon as she heard his name now.
"Niangniang, you dissipate your anger first, the small one has a plan, I don't know if to talk about it?"
Gonggong An's head was slightly raised, and as his eyes were raised, the folds on his forehead followed the furrows.
"Tell me!"
Concubine Zhuang couldn't wait to prick up her ears, ready to hear what good ideas Grandpa An had.
Who is this father-in-law? How could he appear next to Concubine Zhuang?
This starts with the day my father-in-law died. Father-in-law De was sent away by Father-in-law An, and after Father-in-law De died, he successfully occupied the position of Father-in-law De, and was also favored by Concubine Zhuang.
"Niangniang, in my opinion, this Du Wanjun is not a good stubble, and it is not easy to deal with him. So, we're going to find someone who can hold him down to deal with him! ”
"Aren't you teasing Hongu? You don't know who Du Wanjun is, who dares to touch him now? ”
Concubine Zhuang glanced at Gonggong An, and said that these are useless, if someone can deal with him?
"Well, when you say that, I think there is someone who can deal with him."
"Niangniang and I should be the same person, right?"
"Grandpa An, let's take a trip?"
Concubine Zhuang seems to have found a puzzle that she can't solve for a long time, and she has a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
......
"Wanjun, it's too dangerous for us to be like this, everyone is watching our every move, I'm scared, I feel that danger may come at any time."
Xiyan's worries are not unreasonable, every step they take now will be dangerous.
Wanjun took off her clothes and stepped into the bathtub with Xiyan.
"Yes, if we continue to sit still like this, there is a good chance that we will be the next German father-in-law."
Xiyan stopped fiddling with the petals in his hand, frowned and said, "What should I do, I'm worried every day, and I can't even sleep well." ”
Wanjun picked up the scoop, scooped a scoop of water and poured it on Xiyan's body, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this, Concubine Zhuang must be eliminated, if she doesn't die, we won't have a good day." ”
The scoop that Wanjun held in the air was long gone, but he didn't notice that there was no water in the scoop. His eyes stared at the distant window for a long time, and it wasn't until Xiyan tapped him on the shoulder that he came back to his senses.
"Wanjun, why are you stunned? Are you going to kill someone? ”
Xiyan asked nervously and panickedly.
"If you are kind to her, she will become more presumptuous, and we cannot back down, let alone be soft. If I'm not mistaken, Concubine Zhuang must be thinking about how to get rid of us now! We've got to do it before she gets rid of us. ”
"Wanjun, don't scare me, what are you doing? Why is my heart beating so hard, are we going to die? ”
Xiyan shook Wanjun's shoulders, his tears spilled into the water, and the corners of his mouth were even stained with small splashing petals.
"We can't panic, you can leave this matter to me, I know someone can help us."
"Who?"
Xiyan's eyes were almost coming out of their sockets.
"Grandpa Wei."
Wanjun scooped a scoop of water and poured it on her body.
"Grandpa Wei? Will he help us? ”
"Yes, if he doesn't help us, then there will be no one to help us."
Wanjun came out of the tub, his body still dripping with water. He dried himself, put on his clothes, and walked over to the mirror to wipe his rouge.
Xiyan also came out of the bathtub, stood behind Wanjun and said, "Where are you going?" ”
"East Factory."
Wanjun didn't mean to stop, and continued to apply yellow to the mirror.
"No, I don't agree."
Yuyan also dried her body and began to get dressed.
"You can't do this."
Wanjun said it very lightly, and from his words, it was difficult to know what he was thinking.
"Why? It's too dangerous to do that. ”
Xi Yan snatched the rouge from Wanjun's hand and looked into his eyes.
"We have to give it a go, if we really die in the hands of Concubine Zhuang, then it is called crippled."
"But we're still alive and well, aren't we?"
"Xiyan, you are just too kind, what kind of person is Concubine Zhuang, will she let us live well?"
"But ......"
Wanjun turned to look at Xi Yan: "Don't be, I can't be soft-hearted, otherwise we won't survive." ”
"Don't worry, I won't go if I'm not sure."
"Wanjun, I'm really worried and scared!"
"Just stay home and wait for my good news."
Wanjun hugged Xiyan, turned around and left.
"Wait a minute, I'll go too."
Wanjun turned to look at Xiyan and said, "You are not allowed to go anywhere, just wait for me at home." If you go, I probably won't be able to convince him. ”
"Wanjun, don't leave me alone."
"Fool, I'll be back."
Wanjun didn't know what the result would be if he went, but if he didn't go, he would only die. In this big palace, in addition to using each other, it is hurting each other.
Concubine Zhuang already hated them to the core. If he didn't fight back, he wouldn't even have the slightest chance. Now he can still go to Gonggong Wei for help, this favor is a huge favor, and he must pay it back.
Wanjun probably guessed that Concubine Zhuang might have gone to Gonggong Wei, but this did not prevent him from going to him, but gave him a bargaining chip to convince him. They are now fighting back and forth, but the final winner is Gonggong Wei.
He can't care so much now, so he can only get rid of the stumbling block of Concubine Zhuang first, and pave the foundation for the future.
Concubine Zhuang did go to Gonggong Wei, and the treacherous and cunning Wei Zhongxian did not promise to help her. Concubine Zhuang not only did not get help from Grandpa Wei, but instead leaked her plan.
Everything seemed to be in Wanjun's hands, but he was still afraid, because the biggest danger was not Concubine Zhuang, but the hidden Wei Zhongxian. Once the handle falls into his hands, it is more difficult to turn over than to ascend to the sky.
