Chapter 43: Palace Secrets (2)

The queen sitting on the high hall is dressed in a turquoise emerald smoke shirt, a pleated skirt with scattered flowers, mist and green grass, and a thin smoke veil with emerald water, if the shoulders are cut into a waist, if the skin is like a condensed fat and if you are a quiet orchid, she is charming and boneless.

"Queen Mother, don't be deceived by this girl, she is the most cunning and the most charming." Seeing that there was no anger on the queen's face, and there was a little appreciation for Zhao Hui between her words, Zhang Simo suddenly became anxious and couldn't help but say.

"Oh? I think this woman is a clever and capable master, how about it, do you want to stay in this Kunning Palace and let me send it? Zhang Simo, who was standing beside him, saw that the queen was not mentioning Zhao Hui's mess with the palace, but was smiling, and he looked appreciative, and he immediately panicked.

"Niangniang..."Zhang Simo said in a panic.

"How? Before you enter the door of my Kunning Palace, will you start to be the master of my Kunning Palace? I saw that the queen's cold eyes turned, as if a cold light shot out, her eyes looked directly at the person in front of her, if there was an invisible pressure, the tips of her fingers were playing with the wrench in her hand at will, and a hint of playfulness flashed in her eyes, Zhao Hui couldn't help but look at the beauty in front of her carefully. Sure enough, how can a woman who can win the heart of the lord of power only have beauty.

"... The slave had never had such a bold mind... Niangniang..."Zhang Simo obviously didn't have Zhao Hui's calm thoughts, seeing the cold face of the woman in the height, he was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground, and his trembling voice revealed his heart.

"Something that doesn't make a living, this palace has said that it will punish you? Your title as a slave is very smooth, how can such a small courage and insight be the steward of this Kunning Palace? The queen passed her eyes sideways, dipped in the pearlescent light, and slightly gathered the moon and bent the moon. Ze's lips were cool and stretched a wisp of beauty, and the atmosphere was instantly quiet to the extreme, and then the queen on the high place continued: "According to me, this girl is a person with some ability. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Hui raised her head suddenly, her eyes touched the face of the noble queen in the height, and she saw a smile on the corner of her mouth, and there was a thick smile in her eyes, which gave Zhao Hui a wonderful feeling.

"How? If you are willing to stay in my Kunning Palace and do things for me, this is a chance for you in this palace. "Queen's Road.

"The slave and maid Xie Niangniang carry love, but today the lord of the country has just ordered the abolition of the three palaces and six courtyards, so he is no longer the person in this harem, and he sees that the mother should be called a slave. The slave maid's family is thin, the father and brother passed away early, there is only the old mother and weak sister in the family, it is really unproductive, homesick and homesick, and I hope that the mother will be pitied, let the slave and the maid out of the palace, and the slave and the maid are willing to be cows and horses in the next life to repay the great kindness of the mother. Zhao Hui stepped forward slowly, and after some words, he was neither humble nor arrogant, in contrast to Zhang Simo, who was still kneeling and bowing.

"It's really a bright girl, what should I do, if this palace insists on keeping you by my side, what should you do?" The queen was not in a hurry, and said after taking a sip of the tea cup brought by the maid beside her.

"That slave is better than obeying her fate, and she will stay in this palace for the sake of her mother's filial piety, dogs and horses, but... After all, the slave maid is the concubine of the lord of the country, and she is still in this palace, I am afraid that it is not in line with reason..."The corner of Zhao Hui's mouth hooked up a sneer, like a poppy blooming, and her eyes were indifferent, as if she was in control of everything.

"Oh? So, if you are forced to stay, it will be the fault of this palace? The queen obviously didn't expect that this inconspicuous woman in front of her would have such courage and be a person.

Niangniang is serious, no one in the palace knows, Niangniang is the most important person in the country, the mistress in this palace, and the mother of the people in the world. The slave and maid are soft-spoken, and they obey the mother's wishes and act according to the mother's wishes. Zhao Hui said.

"Interesting, you're really interesting, this palace hasn't seen such an interesting person in this harem for a long time. Even so, this palace should not be too strong, and this palace will follow your wishes and let you go... Get out of the palace. After finishing speaking, the smile in the queen's eyebrows and eyes was even worse, but Zhao Hui never felt a trace of relaxation in her heart, looking at the queen's meaningful eyes, Zhao Hui was flustered.

"Thank you, mother." Putting up with all kinds of doubts and concerns in her heart, Zhao Hui bowed her head and bowed and retreated. She walked towards the palace gate without looking back, her steps were fast, and she wanted to escape from this place as soon as possible. She didn't look back, but when she arrived at the guard, she handed the exit token into the guard's arms, but Zhao Hui stopped.

Let you... Out of the palace, she was the only one?!! So what should Brother Niu do?!! Suddenly, Zhao Hui's back was a little cold, and it seemed that she suddenly understood the queen's meaningful eyes and smile when she was leaving. Brother Niu can't be in the palace!! Never !! Zhao Hui regained the token in the guard's hand and ran towards the Kunning Hall as if fleeing for his life.

"... Slave Zhao Hui is willing to stay in Kunning Palace and swear allegiance to the queen! Just as she thought, this time she entered Kunning Palace so smoothly, and no one from the guards, maids, and grandmothers stopped her whereabouts. Zhao Hui came to the queen's side on a rampage.

"I knew that a smart girl like you would not disappoint my expectations of you." The queen smiled happily, and her face without the slightest wrinkle was like a blooming rose, dazzling.

"Yes." With a simple word, Zhao Hui also cut off his life in this harem.

Since that day, Zhao Hui and Zhang Simo have become the first-class stewards of Kunning Palace, from the selected national princess to the current steward, both of them seem to have quickly adapted to it, Zhao Hui treats people kindly but does not lose the charter, which makes people feel like a spring breeze but is very admirable, Zhang Simo is strict and meticulous, decisive in killing, and ruthless in doing things, which makes people afraid and frightened, and the two of them have a bit of tacit understanding when they do things together.

"Zhao Hui, if I hadn't told the queen mother back then, we would definitely be like before, after all, we were best friends, didn't we?" In the middle of the night, the two people who had finished dealing with the big and small matters sat together, and Zhang Simo looked at Zhao Huidao.

"What did you do before? Isn't it also what you proposed to the queen mother that I have come to this point? Zhao Hui's eyes have always been on the embroidered handkerchief, and she has never divided her gaze on Zhang Simo.

"You even know it, no matter what, you are a smart person, if it weren't for Brother Niu, how could you have been in the palace for many years without sleeping once? Brother Niu... Is he still waiting for you? Is he okay now? Zhang Simo sighed lightly, looked at Zhao Hui and asked.

"I heard that I have already married a wife, so I guess it's good." Hearing his name, Zhao Hui's hand holding the needle trembled slightly, and then recovered and continued with his own business.

"He took a wife?!! How? Which one is it?? Zhang Simo was obviously not as calm as Zhao Hui, and he became excited when he heard the news that he was marrying a wife.

"What? He can't take a wife? I am going to die in this palace in this life, how can I still let him live alone for me? Zhao Hui's mood couldn't hold back anymore and erupted smoothly.

"Zhao Hui, your appearance, talent, and intelligence are all better than me, obviously I met Brother A Niu first, but he has a deep affection for you, and I have waited for you for so long, I was unwilling. But if it is someone else, I would rather he wait for you for the rest of his life, do you love him or not, if you love him, how can you be willing to stay with him for the rest of your life, and be by his side? Zhang Simo finally confided in the words that had been hidden in his heart for many years.

"You're not love, it's possession..."Since that day, Zhao Hui looked at Zhang Simo like this for the first time, only to see that her eyes were full of sadness, and the corners of her eyes were full of tears.

"Then I have a good possession, I love him, no less than you, but he never knew my intentions, and married someone else, how can I be willing..."Zhang Simo said.

"How about willingness? What if you are unwilling? After all, he is an outsider, and we will be in this palace for the rest of our lives, until we die..."Zhao Hui said.

"Zhao Hui, do you know how much I hate the way you look? That's what you look like, you snatched him away from me, that's what you look like!! Before the words fell, the woman with a sad face suddenly became stunned, picked up the scissors in Zhao Hui's embroidery mine and stabbed Zhao Hui in the face, her eyes flashed with fierce light, a vicious smile appeared on her face, the lock of black hair on her forehead, like the long tongue of a poisonous snake, spewed vulgar swear words out of her mouth, "Zhao Hui, you go to die!" ”

Zhang Simo's face was full of hideousness, his technique was fast and vicious, without a trace of hesitation, when Zhao Hui reacted and wanted to dodge, the scissors had already slashed her cheeks, and the bright and dazzling blood flowed down her cheeks and neck. Zhao Hui slowly raised her hand and subconsciously stroked her cheeks, the tips of her fingers covered with wet, scarlet blood.

"You... You're crazy! Zhao Hui reacted and quickly dodged, but that Zhang Simo actually forced her hard, at this moment she seemed to lose her mind, her right hand was holding the scissors stained with Zhao Hui's blood, her eyes stared at Zhao Hui, and the corners of her mouth were hideous and cautious.

"Zhao Hui, you once said that I was your best friend, and now, as long as your face is ruined, Brother Niu will not be worried about you, we can still be the same as before, I will protect you and help you, I will not compete with you for anything, we are still best friends." Zhang Simo's eyes stared at Zhao Hui, who was already hiding in the corner.

"You're really crazy!! Brother Niu has already married a wife! Zhao Hui's eyes were full of fear, and she was desperately moving backwards, even though there was no room to hide, but out of human desire to survive, she still moved backwards.

"Ah Hui, don't worry, I won't hurt you... Come here..."Zhang Simo was obviously very satisfied with Zhao Hui's reaction, and she walked towards her with a smile on her face.

At the last moment, the queen mother came to the two of them in time to stop Zhang Simo's actions. Zhao Hui, who knew that she was saved, finally couldn't hold back the fear in her heart and fainted.

I woke up again, but it was three days later. As if she had just recovered from a serious illness, Zhao Hui's face was so white that her eyes were full of tears and fear, so that her trembling long eyelashes trembled desperately, and a wisp of blood oozed from her tightly bitten lips.

"Sister Hui, are you awake? It's all right. The one who spoke was the little maid who had been following Zhao Hui, she had just entered the harem, and Zhao Hui had given her a lot of help.
