Chapter 37: It's a good thing not to compete for favor

"Zhen Zhen, yesterday Zhu Youzhen gave Sun Baijian two beautiful girls, Sun Baijian accepted, do you know what it means?" Zhu Youzhen tightened her arms, Zhang Erzhen felt a little pain, her political sense of smell is not so sensitive, just sending two people, what can it mean, it can't always represent......

"Zhu Youke has never had the habit of using beauties to envelop others, but everything he sends out, as small as a needle, has a purpose. Do you think it's just two beauties? That's an olive branch thrown by Zhu Youjiao, Zhen Zhen, do you know why Sun Baijian asked for it? Sun Baijian is Tanhualang, how many eyes are staring at it, he doesn't hesitate to take such a big risk at this juncture, and the palace feels that he seems to be very resentful......" Zhu Youji's words couldn't hear joy and anger, it was plain as if he was doing a family routine, Zhang Erzhen still felt a little chill, she asked: "Can he refuse?" Probably not, but Zhu Youzhu immediately cut off her fantasy: " Sun Baijian could refuse, because those two women were girls from a good family. Zhang Erzhen was shocked, a girl from a good family...... made Sun Baijian's room...... , is it all so messy now?

“...... The prince means...... "Since the emperor's confused marriage, the situation in the court has become more and more chaotic, and even if Zhu Youfang has no ambition at the beginning, it is difficult to ensure that others will not be punished. Since ancient times, this has been the case, when it is difficult to ride a tiger, you can only fight against the water. Zhang Erzhen was not surprised, she was just a little incredulous, Sun Baijian was also involved in this complicated battle, isn't it good to be a courtier, why......

Zhu Youzhu looked coldly at the unpredictable expression on Zhang Erzhen's face, and the corners of his mouth twitched a touch of disdain: "What else do you want to say, Sun Baijian can't help but be overpowered, what does he think Zhu Youzhen likes about him? At this time, Zhu Youzhu was like a moment, the murderous aura on the battlefield was exposed, Zhang Erzhen couldn't help but shudder, her neck stiffened in Zhu Youji's arms for a long time, she felt such a Zhu Youzhu for the first time, this is really like a king, there is the domineering spirit of the wind and the cold water, and the heroism of Liu Bang by the river. Phew! Zhang Erzhen spit out herself in her heart, Zhu Youzhu is a righteous prince, they are all chaotic ministers and thieves, and the last person to ascend the throne must be Zhu Youji, otherwise whether it is her or her Zhang family, there will be no place to die!

As for Sun Baijian...... , she naturally doesn't want him to have an accident, live well, and marry a daughter-in-law, that is the life she thought Sun Baijian would live. What kind of example, what kind of exploration is a kind of career for men, but when this career will be so dangerous that it will cost people's lives, Zhang Erzhen still hopes that he can retreat despite the difficulties, otherwise everyone will not be able to retreat.

It was already late at night, and Zhu Youzhu said: "Go back, it's not peaceful in the palace these days, don't go out." ”

Zhang Erzhen opened the hand on his waist and said with a smile: "The concubines all listen to the prince." Then he left the study without looking back. Zhu Youzhu didn't have time to feel the temperature in his arms, he sat down a little dazedly, looked at the food box on the table, and the black color was weird, and after a long time, Zhu Youzhu stood up, and Xiao Luzi outside the door heard the movement and came in, only to hear the prince's deep voice say: "Go to Qingyun Pavilion." Xiao Lu Zi responded, and hurriedly went to get the palace lamp, and Zhu Youzhi stepped on the long shadow and bathed in the cold moonlight and entered Qingyun Pavilion.

Here Zhang Erzhen returned to Ningyun Pavilion, full of paste, unable to figure out the paste, Mama Hua had been waiting in the room for a long time, Zhang Erzhen only left Mama Hua, the two of them sat on one side, Zhang Erzhen asked: "Mama, what is going on with Hua Xing and Xiao Qizi, since the prince didn't kill them, where are you getting people now? After all, the two of them didn't do anything hurtful, I always feel unstable in my heart." ”

Hua Mama said: "The two of them were originally assigned by the Internal Affairs Office, and they were in charge of the sprinkling and cleaning in Ningyun Pavilion before the side concubine entered the palace. Now it seems that Concubine Shao has arranged it a long time ago, Concubine Shao is really a good plan and a good means, even if it is planned in the morning, the side concubine will live here, and she has already left her back. The side concubine should really stay away from Concubine Shao, the women in this palace are all fine, and they are all terrible. Mama Hua looked worried, and Zhang Erzhen said: "Maybe there are many people in this East Palace who eat like this, not only us, maybe Qingyun Pavilion, maybe Ziyun Pavilion, there are such people." Maybe some people were brought by Concubine Shao, and some of them were someone else's. The two of us here have been dealt with because of the leaks, and the rest of the places must have stopped for a while. ”

"What Concubine Fang said is also right, these two stupid people can't be a big deal, how could Shi Chenghui's secret work happen to be seen by them? The side concubine has always been good to them, and with such a good master, what are they not satisfied with. Mama Hua sighed, as if she was sorry.

Zhang Erzhen also sighed and said: "They didn't do anything to hurt me, you can inquire again, and they will be left with their lives." ”

"The most important thing in this palace is the unjust ghosts, and it is common for one to die if he is not careful, the side concubine can keep them today, what about Ming'er?"

"Master and servant, the rest depends on creation. Zhang Erzhen sighed and asked again: "The prince is going to Qingyun Pavilion again?" Without waiting for Mama Hua to speak, she smiled first: "The crown princess has really been beautiful recently, there is no one in the palace who does not come to congratulate, Wan Guifei is well, Wan Xian'er is constantly pampered, the glory of ten thousand families must be known to everyone, and the Wan family may not be happy." It's a pity that Wan Rong died, if he was still alive at this time, he could probably proudly accept ten concubines and sing songs every night. ”

Mama Hua couldn't laugh, she could see the sadness of the side concubine, she had seen too many expressions like this in this palace...... , Zhang Erzhen understood the sympathy in Mama Hua's eyes, and she still smiled: "Mama, don't look at me like this, I know that this will all end." She firmly believes that that such Zhu Youzhu will never be able to truly love Wan Xian'er. But even if it's a drama, the process is really exciting......

When Mama Hua returned to the wing room to rest, the nurse was waiting, and asked with a concerned face: "Hello girl, I should really go and see her." ”

Mama Hua hated that iron could not become steel: "Zhilan, you are also an old man in the palace, why have the concubines been in the palace for so long, and they are always girls, if they are heard by others, they may not cause any kind of trouble! ”

The nurse hurriedly pulled Mama Hua to sit beside her: "She is the child I watched grow up, how can I rest assured that she is like this now." Knowing this, he shouldn't have listened to the prince at that time, and he had to come to the palace. Now that the side concubine is like this, I feel distressed, grandma. ”

The wrinkles on Mama Hua's face were unhappily squeezed together, and she glared at the nurse fiercely and said, "Zhilan, you are complaining about me by this." Who doesn't feel distressed about the side concubine like this, don't I feel distressed? But you also have to think about the crown prince, think about the situation in this palace now, how is it compared to 20 years ago? This atmosphere is arrogant, who doesn't want to cause trouble in the palace and doesn't want to get involved? The queen mother has not returned to the palace after hiding in the palace for half a year, if something happens to the concubine at this stall, who can protect her?"

The nurse muttered: "But the prince favors the princess so alone, I really can't bear to look at the side concubine." ”

"Alas, how can I see it? But isn't this the life in this palace, how much do you expect the prince to be in love? Back then, you and Concubine Ji were so good, saying that you wanted to protect the prince, but in a blink of an eye, it was just like that? So, why didn't you see through it, the side concubine herself should stand up first, she entered the palace during this time, she relied on the prince everything, this prince's favor is gone, and now Ningyun Pavilion is like a headless fly, we must first calm down and live in peace. If the prince comes, let's wait for him, if the prince doesn't come, we have to look at it. You look like this all day long, how can I let you go to the side concubine? I don't have to make her even more sad!" Hua Mama's pine-like vicissitudes of life put her hand on the nurse's hand, and the nurse was sad again: "What Mama thinks about is that you think about the side concubine like this, I feel guilty, I can't live with Concubine Ji, and I can't live with the side concubine." Seeing that the nurse wiped away her tears, Mama Hua persuaded: "In this situation, this is not the time to compete for favor. At this juncture, we can still hide. Wait until...... Wait until the crown prince ...... That's when we worry about it. ”

The nurse also understood, and said sadly: "I understand what Mama said, I am also a useless person, I have lived outside the palace for more than ten years, but I almost forgot what the palace is like." Thanks to Mamma's reminder, I have really lived in vain for all these years. ”

Mama Hua stopped talking, and the two sat next to each other for a while before going to rest.

Zhang Erzhen had already fallen asleep, and Sun Baijian, who was full of prosperous figures, smiled at her in her dreams: "Zhenzhen, I came to see you." Zhang Erzhen frowned, and there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead, "Brother Bai Jian, the fate of you and me has long ended, don't get involved in the battle for the storage position." Sun Baijian was still smiling kindly, and he stretched out his flawless hand like white jade to reach out: "Don't be afraid, I know you don't want to." "No, I'm willing! I'm willing to marry him!" Zhang Erzhen shouted, and Sun Baijian's face suddenly turned hideous: "Are you willing? Okay, you Zhang Erzhen, it turns out that you are also such a person who clings to the powerful." Zhang Erzhen was very anxious: "Think about Sister Luo, think about your uncle and aunt, you can't do this!" "I can't do this?" Sun Baijian became lonely again: "I don't have a choice, Zhen Zhen, I don't have a choice." ”

"No!" Zhang Erzhen's cry sounded with the first rays of sunlight in the morning, Mingyue hurriedly pushed open the door and came in, and what she saw was Concubine Zhen with a dazed face.

"Concubine Fang, are you having a nightmare?" Mingyue stepped forward with a handkerchief to help wipe her sweat while helping Shunqi. Zhang Erzhen looked at Mingyue in confusion, and said after a while: "Mingyue, I dreamed of Sun Gongzi." ”

Mingyue said softly: "Concubine Fang, what nonsense are you talking about, don't talk nonsense next time." ”

Zhang Erzhen said again: "I still dream of the moon." Mingyue's hand paused, and said, "Concubine Fang is a long-term person, but Ruyue is like this...... , It's not worth your concern, forget it, concubine, Ruyue has been gone for a long time. ”

"I don't know why I dreamed of her, I always felt like I would see her again. Zhang Erzhen muttered, looking at the bright sky, and wondered: "Why didn't you wake me up today, and I haven't gone to Qingyun Pavilion to say goodbye, what time is it, the sun is out." ”

"At the beginning of the day, the Qingyun Pavilion sent someone over to say that you don't have to go over today, so the slave didn't call you up. The nurse also said that you slept late last night and are not allowed to call you. Mingyue saw that Zhang Erzhen didn't plan to sleep anymore, so she got up and asked the little palace maids to fetch water and come in to serve Zhang Erzhen to wash. Zhang Erzhen watched a group of little palace maids in green clothes go in and out, and her consciousness gradually came to her senses, "Why don't you have to say hello today, what's going on in Qingyun Pavilion?"

"Today is the big festival, and the crown prince and the crown princess are going to participate. ”

Oh, by the way, she's not qualified as a side concubine.
