Shen Tingnian put down the cup that he drank two sips of, and said speechlessly: "I never thought that I would taste the new seasonal tea at the queen's mother today, it is really delicious." ”

She hadn't tasted it at all before.

Just a sentence, the little concubine seemed very happy, handed her all the pastries on her table, and the two sat close to each other, "If you like it, I'll ask my aunt to send you more." ”

"Who is your aunt?"

"My aunt is the queen."

"......" Shen Tingnian looked at the other party's round and festive face with a little embarrassment.

The worst who entered the palace should also be beautiful, the small round face in front of her, the smile is quite cute, but it is far from the standard of beauty, it turns out that she is the queen's niece Xiao Qi, it is said that because she is too simple, the title is pure concubine, to put it thoroughly, her brain is not very clear, the queen is afraid that she will be bullied so that she will occupy a palace to live, and she was raised by the queen as a daughter.

"Why don't you speak?" Concubine Chun blinked, her whole head came over, and she was still smiling, "I talked to you because you were good-looking." ”

Shen Tingnian barely maintained a slightly smiling face, "You are also good-looking." ”

As soon as these words came out, several people in her sight couldn't help but look sideways, their movements were too neat, and the voice suddenly stopped for a while, and there was a moment of silence.

"Xiaochun, what are you doing?"

The queen, who was sitting at the top, came to see it.

As soon as she spoke, everyone looked over in unison, and Zhao Jingyi, who had been accompanying the queen at the bottom right, also looked at Shen Tingnian with a slight frown.

Seeing Zhao Jingyi's expression, Shen Tingnian knew that he was upsetting her again.

"I ......" Concubine Chun's face turned red, and she stood up as soon as she was nervous, "I didn't do anything, I just wanted to talk to her-"

The queen shifted her gaze to look at Shen Tingnian, "This is not Shen, Shen-"

Shen Tingnian stood up at the right time and said, "Concubine Prince Jieyu, please say hello to the queen." ”

It's not that the queen doesn't know Shen Tingnian, but she didn't think about it, the women in the palace are talking about Qi Qi competing for beauty, purple and red, and Doufang spitting incense, and among the beauties who pinched the point, Shen Tingnian pulled the cloud hairstyle and used a plum blossom hairpin, which is more plain than others, and the same filial piety clothes are worn on her body to be obedient and simple, and the people next to her are dull and tasteless, Shen Tingnian, who wants to be low-key and unsightly, where can she expect that fate arranged green leaves to line her red flower.

The pure noble concubine with an ordinary posture lined her out of the color of a fairy.

The queen saw that people remembered a lot of things, when Pu Yangxu carried her behind her back to take people out of the Xiunu Palace, it really surprised her, and then Zhao Jingyi married in, Pu Yangxu called Shen Tingnian to serve on the second day of her wedding, at the end of last year, the people on Si Yao's side reported to her that Shen Tingnian used the most avoidance soup in the East Palace, and she couldn't understand how to let people check Pu Yangxu's files, and found out that he had changed the files, and this time Pu Yangxu took her out of the palace and set off a lot of turmoil...... One pile, one piece, and so on, it is impossible for the queen to remember the name or not.

"Sit down."

This Shen Tingnian is really a little different, the queen withdrew her gaze from her overly beautiful face and glanced at Zhao Jingyi.

Although she likes Zhao Jingyi, she will never embarrass Shen Tingnian in public for Zhao Jingyi, Yu Gong, she is a dignified queen embarrassed a junior, she loses her identity, Yu is private, she is the prince's mother, the prince is happy to spoil Shen Tingnian at this time, she can help him smooth out the traces for the sake of her son's happiness, and when he is tired of it, there will be a good end for Shen Tingnian.

After the pure concubine sat down, she quickly smiled at Shen Tingnian, and she didn't dare to speak this time.

Shen Tingnian smiled, her mood was a little gloomy, the queen seemed to be more friendly than she imagined, probably the bearing of a big man.

After another tea time, the queen asked everyone to distribute a booklet, which was a newly made "Collection of Court Rites", teaching everyone to memorize it by heart, and to discipline the people in the palace, until the anniversary of the first emperor, they must be cautious in their words and deeds, and not violate the rules and precepts.

The whole training like a tea party ended, Shen Tingnian came with all the preparations and went back with a stomach full of tea.

###

Shen Tingnian was tired, lying on the bench under the corridor, watching Mama Liu distribute rewards to the people in the courtyard according to the list, this time she went out of the palace in the end to a long-faced errand, although she only got a prince's consolation gift, not a dime of silver, but the people below could not help but reward.

After the last person finished receiving it, Shen Tingnian pressed the corner of his forehead and had a headache.

"It's all scattered, don't go out and don't talk to each other, you know what the wind is in the palace this year, keeping filial piety is the top priority, whoever dares to cause trouble for the master at this time, don't blame Mama for being ruthless."

Mama Liu's words were quite majestic, with a straight face, even Shen Tingnian felt strange and scary.

However, as soon as she entered the inner room, Mama Liu's face was bitter - half of the share of this reward was the old book she pasted, who believed it, and the master asked the slave to borrow money to save face.

But there was no way, it was her idea, Shen Tingnian had no money, he really didn't have money, and even Zhiya said that he could not be rewarded, and he also took the initiative to make up for a month's salary.

"Okay, what are you doing with a sad face." Min Yun took the lead in breaking the silence of the room, she was also a little embarrassed that her master was poorer than herself, and she still had serious matters to discuss, "Niangniang, as you expected, the queen was forced to call everyone to listen to the training because of her speech, and she didn't really want to force everyone to learn the rules." ”

Shen Tingnian hummed lightly, he didn't have any energy, the calmer he was, the more ominous he was......

"Niangniang, today's slave maid can be regarded as full of eyes," Zhiya followed him to Kunning Palace, thinking that today's eyes were dazzling, and he couldn't help but smile, "Although everyone is not dressed up, they are really beautiful one by one." ”

"It's useless to just look good, and few of the people who went there today are really favored." Mama Liu is the most aware of the outside news, she smiled, a little meaningful, "When did you see Concubine Jing, you opened your eyes." ”

Today's training, Concubine Jing did not come, Shen Tingnian thoughtfully, "They have been fighting for decades, aren't they tired?" ”

"Can you not get tired? But what can be done-" Mama Liu sighed with emotion, if it is an ordinary family, if you can't fight for the family property, you can't fight for it, and it's a big deal to leave the house, but in the heavenly family, you are either above the wealth and wealth of tens of thousands of people, or you will be imprisoned for life, "Niangniang, you are still young, and the days are still long." ”

"But we are also the people on the queen's mother's side, today I heard the princess also speak a few times, and every time she is to defend the queen, and the concubines who are scornful in their words are hidden in the needle."

A few people talked about it, there was no point, but it was like small talk, Mama Liu, who stayed in Changxin Garden for several months, had been working hard for herself for failing to win Shen Tingnian's trust, and finally felt that she was useful on the day she became Shen Tingnian's creditor.

Said a little proudly, said that he was more happy, Shen Tingnian saw it clearly, secretly thought to herself, and made her happy for two days, and when she saw the prince, she cleared the money again.

At this time, the prince, who was busy with the discount, did not know that he was about to be begged for money, and was still worried about the unsatisfactory income of the household department last year.

He wanted to see which one had eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall and was greedy for his money.

After a few days, Shen Tingnian underestimated the busyness of the prince, not to mention calling her, and every other place used excuses to send soup, snacks and clothes made by relatives every day, and did not see the prince.

That night, Shen Tingnian called Min Yun and the others into the inner room again.

"There's something I need to tell you about so I can teach you to be careful."

Shen Tingnian also thought about it for a long time before deciding to tell them.

"Someone in the East Palace has murderous intentions towards me, and if I don't succeed once, the feud has already been settled," Shen Tingnian rubbed the hairpin in his hand, and his tone was relaxed, "No matter who it is, I will fight back." ”

She asked herself if she had no grudge against that group of women, but she almost died for no reason, since the other party was the first year of junior high school, she couldn't be blamed for being the fifteenth who fought back.

"Each person has a life, I don't expect you to be very sincere, but today's words are spread out, just to teach you to understand that I, Shen Tingnian, are like this, and in the future, blessings and disasters will depend on each other, and you will also follow to fate."

Shen Tingnian's voice fell, and the three of them all knelt down, and Mama Liu, who was leading the way to speak, was particularly excited, like an old hen who had been guarding for many years finally looking forward to the eggshell cracking and hatching chicks.

"! The slave maid has been in the palace for more than 20 years, and she has not enjoyed any blessings or suffered any hardships, except for saving some coffin books, and she has been like this for a lifetime-"Mama Liu is a person who has a heart of hard work in middle age, so she will hollow out her mind to win Shen Tingnian's trust, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, I also inherited a favor when I was young......"

Shen Tingnian: "......"

Min Yun: "......"

Branch: "...... Poof"

In the end, the mental concentration was insufficient, and Zhiya didn't hold back a laugh and immediately covered his mouth.

Mama Liu's old face turned red, and she also gave up in order to show her loyalty.

"There is no sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in the family who does not miss men, at that time-" mentioned that Emperor Renwu did not say it explicitly in order to avoid it, but everyone knew it, "Although he is not confused, he is very heroic, and the women in the palace have to break ......their heads when they grab a job that shows their faces."

Mama Liu is just a little palace maid serving a favored little master, and by chance, when she was changing the sheets for the master, she bumped into Emperor Renwu bathing back, and the little master couldn't bear to fall asleep at that time.

Emperor Renwu probably hadn't finished his fun, and Mama Liu was caught unguarded, and when she heard them making noise outside, she was moved by thoughts, and naturally she wouldn't resist......

One night, Cheng'en didn't bring her anything, but was detained here and couldn't leave the palace again.

"At that time, I thought I could turn over, but it was naïve."

After her little master found out on the second day, she said to her face that she wanted to shop the palace for her to earn a name, but secretly said that she was not right-minded and arranged for her to go to the inner provincial mansion to do rough work, and where would Emperor Renwu remember a nameless little palace maid.

In this palace, what happened like her was not only not new, but everywhere.

"Later, I learned that the palace maids who served by the emperor's side were the queen mother, the people around the queen - which is not a thing that the master can have fun anytime and anywhere when he is interested." Mama Liu sneered as she spoke.
