By the time Luoluo returned to the Taiji Palace from the Uighur residence, it was already late. When he returned to the princess's courtyard where he lived, a little palace maid came, saying that His Majesty the Emperor had come, and she had waited for an hour and did not see her come back, so she went back.

He's been here, so he's here, it's a big deal that Ming'er will send someone to apologize to him, but she really doesn't want to meet him in person again.

Luoluo didn't take it to heart, so she ordered the personal palace maid to serve her to wash and rest.

The next morning, Luoluo went to Penglai Hall as usual, first went to the Inner Palace Bureau and the Inner Servant Province, and then went to the Liushang Bureau, asked some questions with several Shanggong, and then sat in the room of the Liushang Bureau and drank tea.

When I stopped, I saw a woman in a royal blue dress with a few entourage.

Luoluo recognized her, it was Wu Jieyu, who had been quite favored by His Majesty's side in recent days. Because this Wu Jieyu is five or six points similar to her, there is a lot of discussion in the palace, and in order to avoid suspicion, she has hardly appeared in front of Wu Jieyu.

Jieyu is a positive third product, and as a princess, she doesn't need to come out to see her, so she still snuggles in that room and continues to drink tea.

When Wu Jieyu entered the Liushang Bureau, she went straight to her house, telling her to avoid it, so she had to ask: "Why did Wu Jieyu come to the Liushang Bureau today?" ”

Wu Jieyu took a look around this room, this room is specially arranged by Luoluo, and it is very convenient to take a break here on weekdays, drink tea and read books, and summon people from the Liushang Bureau, and there is a simple couch for napping, which is simple and elegant, like a woman's boudoir.

Wu Jieyu snorted in her nose and sneered in a low voice: "It's said that it's a princess, but no one really believes it, if you can't be a concubine, you have to dominate this huge Daming Palace to put the master's score!" ”

When Luo Luo heard this, the teacup in his hand was placed heavily on the table, "What does Wu Jieyu mean by this?" ”

"What do you mean?" Wu Jieyu drew a narrow Danfeng eye, "The concubine was about to ask the princess what she meant, yesterday His Majesty did not rest at any of the sisters in the harem, nor in the Zichen Palace, you say, where did Your Majesty rest?" ”

Where is it, how does she know? Although I heard that His Majesty had come to Taiji Palace yesterday, didn't he wait for a while and leave, where did he go after that, how would she know?

Luoluo drank the residual tea in the teacup, and said lightly: "Where did Your Majesty go yesterday, you go and ask Your Majesty if you are right, and ask Princess Ben what to do?" This princess also has to go to Penglai Hall to greet the Queen Mother, and she will leave, so you can do it yourself. ”

She didn't want to be a queen, she didn't want to be entangled with these harem women, but now someone took the initiative to come to the door. These women themselves don't have the ability to catch men, and they want to trample on others, thinking that they can be too high for themselves, which is ridiculous. She didn't want to say more, so she simply used the Queen Mother as a shield to avoid them.

She stood up and walked sideways past Wu Jieyu, without even looking at her, as if she didn't take her in her eyes at all, which made Wu Jieyu more and more annoyed, but she was just a little Jieyu, and she didn't dare to clash head-on with the princess, so she could only grit her teeth and stomp her feet behind her back in anger.

Since she entered the East Palace and came to His Majesty, who was still the crown prince at the time, she was the first of the few women who entered the palace at the same time to be favored, and His Majesty treated her very gently and carelessly. But later, slowly she realized that something was wrong, and when His Majesty was facing her, he would often call out another name unconsciously.

And the owner of that name, she later learned that it was Princess Taihe.

His Majesty has not appointed a concubine since he was the crown prince, and after he ascended the throne, the position of the middle palace was vacant, and even the fourth concubine was empty. And because there is no justifiable hostess in Daming Palace, Princess Taihe still firmly grasps the power to manage Daming Palace.

And the other trump card in the palace, that is, the Queen Mother in the Penglai Palace, Her Majesty respects her very much, but no matter how they flatter, the Queen Mother has never revealed her closeness and liking for any concubine.

Everyone knows that Princess Taihe often lives in Penglai Palace, and has a very good relationship with the Queen Mother, if one day Princess Taihe really enters the palace and becomes His Majesty's concubine, then wouldn't it be easy to suppress all of them?

This has also become a thorn in the hearts of the concubines.

Luoluo didn't go to Penglai Palace, it was still early at this time, and he didn't want to come to Zichen Palace. During this time, my mother would accompany Her Majesty to the court most of the time, and she didn't have much time to take care of the affairs of the inner palace, so she had to come to Daming Palace every day to watch for her mother.

She walked to the Shang Shi Bureau, stopping by to see if the ingredients they had purchased today were all fresh and suitable.

There is still more than half an hour before lunch, and the food bureau is in full swing. Luoluo walked in, and a few of the pawns and palms in it hurriedly came to salute, and Luoluo exempted them from the salute and told them to go to work.

At this time, a little palace maid came over and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, Wu Jieyu from the Chengxiang Palace just came to eat some fresh game." ”

The old concubines in the palace of the first emperor have all become concubines and moved to Xingqing Palace, but the Empress Dowager Guo stayed in Penglai Hall because she wanted to help His Majesty manage the government. The other palace rooms in this harem were also given to Li Heng's concubines, and Wu Jieyu lived in the Chengxiang Hall of the former Ji family.

This Wu Jieyu's requirements are a bit high.

It's not that the Shangshi Bureau doesn't make game, in fact, there are three imperial gardens in the palace, all of which are specially used to raise some birds and beasts for the daily needs of the Shangshi Bureau. But now it is April day, just after the sting, it is the season of 100 ** with reproduction, the palace has always had this rule, in order to reflect the benevolence and compassion of His Majesty the Emperor, it is not allowed to hunt wild beasts at the turn of spring and summer.

Of course, this rule is not absolute, if His Majesty the Emperor or the Queen Mother personally speaks, the Shangshi Bureau will definitely have to do it. When encountering the kind of very favored concubine who spoke, the Shangshi Bureau chose to acquiesce in order to curry favor, and there were also some.

However, Wu Jieyu, as a third-grade Jieyu, if it is also made in autumn and winter, it is a bit too much to open such a mouth this season.

Luo Luo said: "Our Shangshi Bureau has always acted according to the rules, and we can't break the rules for a three-grade Jieyu." If such a precedent is opened today, tomorrow the Water Hall will also be the Purple Orchid Palace, what should we do? Just go back to her, if she wants to eat, ask her to use her own money to open a small kitchen. ”

The concubines in the palace set up their own kitchens in the palace, which was also tacitly approved. The Queen Mother's Penglai Hall has always had a small kitchen, and she rarely uses the meals of the Shang Food Bureau.

However, all the expenses of the small kitchen, including the ingredients and the cook, have to figure out by themselves, that Wu Jieyu is a show girl, not like the Wang family and the Pei family, who are big families and big families, her father is just a small Qipin county magistrate, I am afraid there is no money to spare.

Luoluo smiled secretly in his heart, and when he came out of a small family, he was a child. Isn't it just that I have been favored a few more times, and my family has no backstage to rely on, and I have no financial support, so I can be arrogant to such a point!

She came out of the Shangshi Bureau and went to the Shangfu Bureau again, and then she heard a little palace maid saying to Du Dianyi: "...... The one in Chengxiang Hall is so picky, and the Su Jin she sent said that she didn't like the color, so she didn't accept it, and returned it......"

Before Du Qiu could speak, Luoluo took over and said: "The entire Daming Palace is like this, and she is troublesome. If she doesn't like it, ask her to ask His Majesty for a will, and give her a first-class concubine, so that she can take the Shu brocade! ”

Seeing that she seemed to be a little angry, Du Qiu hurriedly smiled: "If she has this ability, where can she still be entangled in these food and clothing!" It's just that the princess needs to be careful, I think these young concubines are much more difficult to serve than the first emperor, don't ask them to grab the pigtails. ”

Luoluo is a hundred people who can't look down on these concubines, and they are quite disdainful, "What else can she do to me, I'm not a concubine, one is not to compete for their favor, and the other is not to earn fame and fortune from them, but they have to beg for a living under my hands now!" ”

Du Qiu also saw that Fang Cai Wu Jieyu had come, and guessed that Wu Jieyu must have made her unhappy, so she comforted her a few more words and ate two teas with her.

Luo Luo had dinner in the Liushang Bureau, and estimated that his mother should have returned to Penglai Palace, so he got up to say goodbye and went to Penglai Palace.

As soon as I entered the Penglai Palace, I felt that the atmosphere seemed to be a little wrong, and the hall was quiet, and everyone seemed to hold their breath. Luoluo was a little surprised, and was about to call Aunt Luluo to ask, only to hear the Queen Mother's voice coming from the inner hall, "But Luoluo is here?" Come in. ”

Luoluo walked in, but saw that Li Heng was also there, and there was ...... Wu Jieyu.

That Wu Jieyu changed her appearance of showing off her martial arts, and there were very few jewelry on her head, looking much simpler, she was lying on Li Heng's knees, covering her face with her sleeves, as if she was crying, and her sideburns were a little messy.

Empress Dowager Guo glanced at Wu Jieyu, took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and then said: "This is all crying and complaining to the mourning family, what has it become!" Okay, Princess Taihe is also here, and the mourning family will ask her, but she has deducted your use. ”

With just one glance, Luoluo already understood that this Wu Jieyu came to her mother's side to complain, and she was still in front of Her Majesty, and she didn't know what she was wronged when she was away.

She really admires this woman, at a young age, her acting skills can be so amazing. Fang Cai is still arrogant and arrogant in the Liushang Bureau, and I can't wait to tear her princess with my hands, and I will come to pretend to be a poor little sufferer, as if I can break it if I touch it.

At this time, Empress Dowager Guo turned her face and asked, "Luoluo, this month's monthly money, as well as the clothes for the palaces to prepare summer clothes, have you been sent?" ”

Luoluo nodded and said, "Naturally." The monthly money was sent yesterday, and the clothes began yesterday afternoon, and they were also withdrawn and sent one after another, and the Shangfu Bureau has always had a system, if the palace did not send, or if there was anything, it was all to be returned, and Luoluo had never heard that it was not sent. ”
