If you want to talk about how Zhong Cui Palace knows about the "beauty spring" in Mingyue Palace, you have to start with Ah Xiang.

On the second day of entering the palace, as long as she finds free time, Ah Xiang will go to Mingyue Palace to see Ah Lan. It's a pity that I can only eat until the door is closed every time.

Later, when I inquired, I learned that except for Ah Zhen, who stayed by his side, Ah Lan kept a secret from the other girls who came with him from Zhao State. Everyone couldn't help but get together to denounce Alain's ruthlessness, just because she refused to maintain more, the palace people who loved to praise the high and the low gradually stopped taking them seriously.

If this continues, I am afraid that I can only be a low-level palace maid for the rest of my life, and everyone will be at it.

The more Ah Xiang talked, the more resentful she became, and she was full of complaints, but it had been a while since she slipped out, and she didn't dare to stay longer, so she had to hurry back to Zhongcui Palace.

When she went back, Concubine Shu smashed the cup and bottle in the hall again, and a sharp voice came out.

"It's for the Holy Maiden again! Since the Holy Maiden came, everything good things have been close to the Holy Maiden first, and even the next thing is forgotten, and now His Majesty even has to take the favorite things in the palace to the Holy Maiden! ”

Seeing that the more Concubine Shu spoke, the more disrespectful she became, the personal palace maid Zhixiang hurriedly persuaded: "Don't say anything more, don't drink saliva, don't be angry." ”

Ah Xiang came back from Mingyue Palace with a gray nose, how could she not know what Concubine Shu was referring to.

This concubine usually doesn't care much about eating for the sake of her figure, but she only has a good bite of cherries. As soon as the cherries paid tribute in previous years entered the palace, Emperor Yan would divide half of them - that is, three full baskets for Concubine Shu.

But this year, Emperor Yan gave three baskets of cherries to Bolan, and the queen usually gave one basket, and there was only half a basket when it was distributed to Concubine Shu.

Since Emperor Yan left that day, he has not summoned Concubine Shu for several days. In the end, it was Concubine Shu who lowered her body and made soup to find Emperor Yan to be soft, only to get Emperor Yan's mercy again.

It's just that Emperor Yan, who once obeyed her and loved her tirelessly, no longer exists after all.

Now, she has forgotten her penchant cherries.

Seeing that Concubine Shu was depressed and embarrassed and had nowhere to vent her anger, Ah Xiang's eyes rolled, and she suddenly came up with a plan, wanting to fight for her future.

An inferior palace maid like Ah Xiang was originally not qualified to enter the inner hall, but she rushed straight in regardless of it, pretending to be indignant.

"Niangniang, the slave maid has just returned from Mingyue Palace. His Majesty rewarded a lot of cherries to the saintess, but the saint was too good, and directly distributed most of them to the palace people, and now the whole Mingyue Palace is actually eating the cherries given by the emperor. ”

Lady: ?? What the palace wants but doesn't have enough, the saint just gives it to the servants in the palace?

"They're worthy too?" Concubine Shu was so angry that she smashed another colorful glass cup.

Ah Xiang hurriedly echoed: "The slaves and maids also think that they are unworthy!" Qi Yu Concubine Niangniang, the slave maid has been thinking about it for the past few days, and she always feels that the saint is very strange. ”

Concubine Shu glanced up at her. Zhixiang obediently dismissed the idle people, closed the door, stood behind Concubine Shu and said to Ah Xiang: "Go on." ”

"The slave and maid have known the saint for a few years, and she knows the roots, she has never had anything special, and to say a big disrespectful word, not only is it not special, but she is also very timid and weak. But after coming to Yan Kingdom, he suddenly had the art of resisting the wind. The slave maid felt that this matter was full of suspicions, so she wanted to ask the maid to give the slave a chance to explore the secret of the saint. Perhaps, the saint had the guidance of a master, or even an evil spirit, to have such a skill! ”

"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense! Zhixiang listened to Ah Xiang's more and more unbearable, and hurriedly stopped.

Concubine Shu waved her hand, and after a moment of thoughtful silence, she said slowly: "This palace will give you this opportunity, I hope you will do it yourself, don't let this palace down." ”

Ah Xiang was overjoyed and kowtowed to thank her.

Concubine Shu's voice came from above: "In addition to the wind, the holy woman seems to be still in the face, and you can also investigate it." ”

"Yes." Ah Xiang obediently agreed.

Ah Xiang's self-recommendation was successful. She was freed from her tedious work and received a lot of gold and silver jewelry for her decorations.

Although she still can't see Alain, but with money and wealth, the people of Mingyue Palace, who were not smiling at her before, have a smile on her after taking a lot of benefits from her, and they are often willing to chat with her and talk about Alain.

However, most of the palace people are very cunning and only pick some innocuous things to say. For example, the saint is very kind to Ah Zhen and treats her like a sister; The saint is generous and easy-going, has good food and fun, and will not forget everyone in the palace......

These so-called revelations are of little use except for making Ah Xiang jealous to the point of losing her teeth.

As the days passed, the silver was scattered, but there was no progress, and Concubine Shu was getting more and more impatient.

Ah Xiang also panicked, gritted her teeth and chose a little palace maid who didn't look very shrewd, gave two gold leaves, and coaxed her with sweet wine to say that it was sweet tea. The little palace maid took a big benefit, poured two glasses of wine into her stomach, and then lost the door on her mouth, and told Ah Xiang a secret.

"The saint's beauty is not caused by the immortal law, but by soaking in the living spring of Mingyue Palace."

"Really?" Ah Xiang's eyes lit up.

"I saw it with my own eyes! After soaking in the spring water, the saint was suddenly beautiful from head to foot, and even her hair was so beautiful. Sister Ah Xiang, I only told you, you must not tell others. ”

Ah Xiang looked serious: "Sister, don't worry! I will never say it. ”

After talking for a long time, confirming that the little palace maid had no other useful information, Ah Xiangma rushed back to Zhong Cui Palace and relayed the little palace maid's words to Concubine Shu word for word.

The concubine was full of joy and anger, and her eyes kept changing.

"There is such a thing!" Now in the entire harem, who doesn't envy the saint's jade snow skin, but it turns out that it is not natural. When Concubine Shu thought that the Mingyue Palace should have been her own, and the beauty spring should have been enjoyed by herself, she felt that her back molars were sour.

It happened that Emperor Yan rested in Zhongcui Palace that night. Concubine Shu suppressed her impulse, tried her best, and served Emperor Yan properly first. Then he lay in the arms of Emperor Yan with a comfortable face, and delicately proposed that he wanted a bucket of living spring water taken from Mingyue Palace.

Emperor Yan refused without raising his eyelids.

"No! Don't think about the things of the saint. ”

Concubine Shu could barely hide her shock with a capital on her face. After grinding for a while, seeing that Emperor Yan still didn't let go, Concubine Shu was also annoyed, and blurted out: "The good color of the saint is obtained from soaking in spring water!" Everyone has a love for beauty, and the concubines become more beautiful, isn't Your Majesty happy? Your Majesty, don't forget, the Mingyue Palace was originally meant to be given to the concubines, and the concubines don't think about it now, but just want a bucket of spring water, how can Your Majesty not even allow this little request? ”

……

Ah Xiang, who had been lying in the ear room, did not fall asleep, and kept an eye on the situation in the main hall. She expected that Concubine Shu would ask Emperor Yan for spring water, but she didn't expect that this little request would be rejected.

Concubine Shu's status in Emperor Yan's heart has plummeted. Ah Xiang thought with some contempt: Concubine Shu is really useless, she has such a bright face.

Thinking about it like this, I was a little worried about myself. After all, if the master falls out of favor, the life of the people below will not be easy.

It seems that we have to prepare early and find another backer.
