Chapter 44: Grounding (3)

A month passed like this, and in July there was a fire, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter, but there was less and less ice in the temple.

I have the habit of taking a nap every day, but this day I slept and felt very hot, and when I woke up in a daze, I heard someone talking not far from my bedside. Listen closely, it's Liqiu and Xiaohan.

Liqiu lowered his voice and said, "Today's ice seems to be used faster. ”

Xiao Han said: "Shhhh She looked at me, I hurriedly closed my eyes, and heard her sigh again: "The food bureau is controlled by Zheng Guifei, the mother offended Zheng Guifei, it was okay some time ago, but now there is no one in the palace who can call the shots, and every time I go to get something, I am stabbed a few words! ”

Liqiu hurriedly said: "They are too presumptuous, Niangniang is just grounded, and she is not out of favor!"

Xiao Han sighed: "What are you doing? I thought it was just the will of the concubine, and the emperor and the queen cared about Niangniang in their hearts, but when they went to escape the summer, no one even mentioned Niangniang...... We can all see this situation, not to mention those who are red and white, so come to think of it, they think that Niang Niang is light in the eyes of the emperor, so they dare to be so presumptuous!"

I nodded secretly in my heart, I didn't expect Xiao Han to be silent all the time, and her mind was so delicate.

I only heard Liqiu sigh: "We are nothing, we are usually used to being hot, but we just did needlework, and our palms are sweaty, so I came to ask." She muttered again: "It's not good to stain the silk thread!"

Xiao Han said: "Didn't you see that the one who went to the Shangshi Bureau became Sister Equinox! ”

After a while, I heard Liqiu say, "Even Sister Equinox can't suppress them?" After a pause, she lowered her voice again: "I heard Xiao Fugui complaining two days ago...... Now his work is all done by Shun Xi'er......"

Xiao Leng smiled: "What kind of work can he have! It's just bullying Shun Xi'er's name!"

"Shh

When they stopped talking, I coughed lightly, and Xiao Han hurriedly came to see me, and when he saw that I was awake, he smiled and said, "Niang Niang is sleeping? It's too hot this day." As he spoke, he called for someone to come in and change my clothes, and at the same time played a fan beside him.

I didn't say anything, but her words and deeds just now made me look up to her a little in my heart. After that, I noticed that she acted safely, although she was a second-class palace maid, but she did not flatter her superiors, nor did she hide from her subordinates. But it was a cultivator, so he told the vernal equinox.

Spring Equinox smiled: "This girl is really good, Niangniang's eyes." ”

I laughed and said, "Are you praising Xiaohan, or are you praising yourself?"

Spring Equinox turned red and said, "Niangniang is really good at making fun!"

I snickered and asked, "Do you know why I want Xiao Han to be close to me?" I was puzzled, I smiled strangely, and said: "Because it's too hot this day, thinking that her name is Xiao Han, maybe she can go to the heat if she puts it next to me, but I didn't expect it to really get into my eyes." ”

The spring equinox was stunned for a moment, and then covered his mouth and laughed.

I had already copied the "Female Rule" eight times, and there were still two more to complete the task, and I was copying it at my desk that night, and the sound of the brush falling on the paper could be heard in the silence of the hall.

The spring equinox walked in quickly from the outside and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, Miss Wei Zi next to the queen is here."

I hurriedly put down my pen, got up and went out accordingly, and saw Wei Zi walking in with a smile, asking me to say goodbye, glanced at the hall, and said, "Is everything okay with Jieyu Niangniang?" The queen mother was so worried about it that the slave maid came to visit Niangniang. ”

I smiled and said, "Thank you for the queen's thoughts, everything is fine with the concubine, my aunt please do it inside, and Xiaohan will make tea." ”

Wei Zi said a few polite words, still standing in the hall, she is a palace maid after all, where can she really be on an equal footing with me. I didn't force it, and asked her what the queen mother commanded.

Wei Zi said with a smile: "The queen only let the slave maid come to visit Jieyu Niangniang, I don't know if the "Female Rules" copied by the maid has been completed? If it is completed, the slave and maid will take it away and hand it over to the queen mother, so that Jieyu's grounding will be relieved." ”

I said with a look of shame: "The concubine really lived up to the love of the queen, and the concubine was stupid, and she hadn't copied it yet!"

A trace of annoyance flashed on Wei Zi's face, and then he changed his face to a smile and said, "Then there is no way, since the queen mother went to Penglai Mountain, she has been thinking about you very much, saying that it would be good if you could go together." I really didn't expect it...... On that day, Concubine Zheng took advantage of the queen's old illness to relapse and made such a will, and the queen was very unhappy when she knew it, and she was secretly annoyed that it was not the right time for her illness!"

I hurriedly said: "It's all the concubines, the queen blames herself like this, and the concubines are terrified!"

Wei Zi smiled and said, "Actually, this matter has nothing to do with Jieyu Niangniang, let alone the queen's affairs, it's all about that...... That's it, and it doesn't help to talk about it now. The slave maid originally thought that Niangniang had copied the "Women's Rules", and she could go to Penglai Mountain to escape the summer after the grounding, here...... It's a little hot. She raised her hand to wipe her sweat, looked around again, and asked in surprise, "Why doesn't Niangniang use ice here?"

I said, "I don't feel hot, so I don't need it at night." ”

Wei Zi had a clear look on her face, it was inconvenient for her to stay here for a long time, and she would have to return to Penglai Mountain later. I didn't think it would be so simple, so I asked her to make a snack and let her eat supper, and she didn't refuse.

I glanced at Gu Yu, and Gu Yu followed. Others thought that Gu Yu was innocent and innocent, and he loved to laugh and had no heart. So there are some things that I can't say in front of others, and it doesn't hurt to say them in front of her, so she became my second pair of ears.

After a while, Wei Zilai resigned, and I politely asked her to send her away.

Gu Yu waited for her to leave, and told me with great interest: "Niangniang guessed right, the reason why Wei Zi came here at night is because the queen is in a hurry!"

It turned out that since he went to Penglai Mountain, the emperor has been pampering Wang Meiren. This Wang beauty is the one from Jade Xuan, the proud person in front of Zheng Guifei! Wang Meiren clings to Zheng Guifei and is favored by the emperor, so naturally she will not forget her master. Therefore, Concubine Zheng Guifei was also very embarrassed in front of the emperor, so much so that she put the queen aside and didn't ask a word.

"So the queen sent Wei Zi over, wanting Niangniang to go to Penglai Mountain to suppress the morale of Wang Meiren! Gu Yu shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.
