The meaning of the words was vague and the expression was just right, Yu Zhao understood it for a moment with a little heart, and then he knew it in his heart, and after thinking about it, he first suppressed his desire to speculate on people's temperament with malice, and then looked up at Zhang Shurong, looked as usual, and confirmed with her:

"It's not surprising that she's always been a person who doesn't like to compete for the limelight, hasn't she?"

"Indeed," Zhang Shurong smiled and nodded and replied: "There are hundreds of flowers competing for beauty at the reunion banquet, and as far as the eye can see, there are rich flowers in the world, and only the simple and unpretentious white lotus blooms in it, but I don't know who will fight for this limelight in the end." ”

Yu Zhao asked, "Then what does it have to do with this palace?" ”

Zhang Shurong replied:

"I think Niangniang is willing to bother to mention some concubines, but she is always reluctant to get close to Concubine Ling, who is kind and respectful to you, and the concubines will know, Niangniang's face is silent, but she is really an understanding person, she shouldn't understand......"

After saying something unclear, Zhang Shurong finally cut to the point: "Now that the famine disaster in northern Xinjiang has just passed, Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are nonsense words such as frozen bones on the road, but for some reason, at the end of this year, there were four people, Concubine Ling Niangniang would be a very person, donating poems and materials for the victims, this move really reflects her good nature, doesn't it?" ”

This seems to be touting the good deeds done by Concubine Ling to the sky, but it is clearly sarcastic that she is not sincere in her disaster relief, and she has to flaunt her hypocrisy.

Sending charcoal in the snow to pick and search, the icing on the cake but to make a big show, the deliberate purpose of it, is about to come out, not to please the victims to grab a wave of credit to win some people's hearts, spend a lot of effort, why else?

Those who are not small-minded can't detect the purpose of Concubine Ling's move, but Yu Zhao and Zhang Shurong happen to be careful people, so once they inadvertently exchanged news, the calculation that Concubine Ling had made in secret was probably almost completely exposed.

Although she has always known that her temperament with Concubine Ling is not very suitable for friendship, she does not want to think of her so scheming, at this time after listening to Zhang Shurong's words, she suddenly became silent, and after thinking for a long time, she still shook her head, and said in a light tone:

"In the final analysis, she didn't make a mistake if she wanted to be in the limelight, whether she wanted to fight or not, whether she could get it or not, as long as she didn't hurt others, Bengong didn't care."

"Niangniang has no intention of caring about her, but the concubine knows that some people want Niangniang to be her stepping stone."

Zhang Shurong said, stepped forward in small steps, put a bunch of gift books in his hand on the table, took out one of the most inconspicuous meal lists, and held it in front of Yu Zhao:

"Niangniang, please take a look, the dishes at today's dinner, only the two of them are different, there is an extra bowl of coarse wheat porridge on the table of Concubine Duling, and Concubine Yi Niangniang's seat, every dish is a delicacy, but almost all of them are flavors with heavy oil and salt, which is what Concubine Ling Niangniang specially instructed with her concubine before."

Since the masters in the palace have entered the palace, all kinds of taste preferences and taboos on the diet, the dining room is a detailed record, if someone wants to find out how Yu Zhao's taste is, only whisper people to go to the dining room to talk, it is easy to get an answer, Yu Zhao's taste on weekdays is mainly light, and heavy oil and salt are scruples.

Recalling Concubine Ling's usual gesture to Yu Zhao, it has always been a direction of flattery and pandering, but this time she secretly instructed Zhang Shurong to do the opposite, what kind of thoughts, Yu Zhao saw the column given to Concubine Ling on the vegetable booklet in front of him. Writing a bowl of coarse wheat porridge, I couldn't help laughing.

"She wants people to know that this palace is the Zhumen girl who is full of wine and meat, and only knows how to enjoy but does not know the suffering of the world, so that she can set off her fresh and kind heart throughout her body? In this way, she is indeed thoughtful. ”

It seems that the news has been conveyed clearly, Zhang Shurong felt that he had made a contribution in front of Yu Zhao, so he was a little bolder, and when he stepped forward to pack up his things, he added in a low voice:

"The concubine never believed that this person who entered the palace to seek glory would not love the smell of treasure copper, that day she saw the rich New Year gift given to the mother by the Yecheng Palace, and suddenly made these gestures on a whim, the concubine did not dare to say it outside, in front of you, I dared to comment on it, it was really contrived, but unfortunately most of the people in this world are hypocritical, and I love to watch this contrived drama, Niangniang, your true temperament, can not have the upper hand."

"It's okay, you don't have to worry about this palace."

Yu Zhao didn't react much to Zhang Shurong's hidden flattery concern, and after dealing with it casually, he carefully instructed her:

"This palace doesn't want you to offend people, you just silently do what she tells you to do, if she really does what you said, she wants to embarrass this palace in public, and this palace has a way to deal with spontaneous combustion, you don't know what to do, go down and do something."

In addition to eating people with a soft mouth, Zhang Shurong is also well versed in the principle that the current affairs are handsome, this time she has won Yu Zhao's favor from this high branch, and she has completely betrayed the old master, so she has already made up her mind to stand in line again, and quickly nodded in response to the order and withdrew from the palace......

"Auntie, I really didn't expect it."

After Zhang Shurong went out, Yu Zhao sighed at Zhuo Yao with a smile, looked sideways at the gorgeous and very warm satin clothes that lotus flowers and jasmine had brought out, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said with emotion: "Who would have thought that Concubine Ling, who is kind and kind-hearted, would have such thoughts?" ”

"No one can think of it as true, but the slave doesn't believe it, and the mother herself hasn't thought of it."

Listening to Zhang Shurong's narration together, Zhuo Yao not only did not mean to be worried and angry, but after listening to Yu Zhao's words, there was a smile in his tone:

"Kill it...... Previously, she maintained and supported Niangniang in every way and even reached the point of indulgence, and others with shallow eyelids may have seen her virtuous generosity, and a person like Niangniang who really has self-discipline may have already tasted something strange. ”

Hearing this, Yu Zhao was noncommittal, turned his head and smiled at Zhuo Yao, helped her get up, and was ready to start trying on the dress for today's dinner, and said casually: "Vanity, it's not a big mistake, I shouldn't have pulled me into the water to cushion her feet, but she is kind to me, this time I am very merciful, and I am not ready to take revenge and go back, just a tooth for a tooth." ”

"Okay, everything is up to the mother," Zhuo Yao couldn't agree with a smile, stepped forward to help Yu Zhao tidy up his clothes, and asked for her opinion: "Do you want to discuss this matter with Your Majesty?" ”

"Your Majesty is busy, you don't have to worry about him," Yu Zhao refused without thinking, paused, and instructed the people below: "The ladies have finished visiting the garden in the morning, go to the banquet at noon, and I'm afraid that I will be very bored in the afternoon, go and invite us to the palace, drink tea and talk with the palace......
