Under the west wall of Xuanfang Palace, Aunt Shuyue had already walked away, and the heavy small cloth bag in Chen Yiqing's hand had turned into a small bag of unknown things, and a piece of paper folded into a triangle.

Chen Yiqing carefully put away those two things. Coughing vigorously twice, her personal maid Ku Xing walked out from behind the tree in the distance.

"Miss, Aunt Shuyue is far away?"

"Yes, I took the silver and walked away quickly." Chen Yiqing walked forward behind her hand.

"The two letters of silver you asked me to bring in were given to her for nothing?" Ku Xing had an unwilling expression, "That's a full twenty taels of silver, miss." ”

Chen Yiqing smiled and didn't speak, and continued to walk forward. Seeing that Miss was far away, Ku Xing hurriedly followed, following behind Chen Yiqing.

"Miss, where are we going? The minions didn't bring any gifts with them today. Ku Xing still felt that the little bag of things and a piece of paper were too expensive.

"Huh! Knowing that you didn't bring it, we won't be going anywhere today, so we will go to the Imperial Garden for a walk, so we will go back. Chen Yiqing said.

"The Queen Mother is sick these days, you visit everywhere in the palace, the silver tickets and all kinds of gifts we brought from home are almost used, when I came out, Mrs. let me look at the young lady, but today I gave the aunt twenty taels for nothing, Ku Xing is really distressed." Ku Xing is like this, and he has to talk about his awkward things for a long time before he can get by.

Chen Yiqing stopped, just about to shut her up, only to hear a shrill voice remember.

"Which aunt in this palace is so bold that she dares to accept twenty taels of silver from you for nothing?"

The master and servant of the Chen family shrank for a moment, and quickly turned to look at the comer. It turned out to be Concubine De.

"Say hello to Concubine De!" The master and servant were blessed.

"Forget it! Flat! Concubine De stopped, "As soon as I got out of the courtyard of the Yinghua Palace, I heard the two of you say here that the aunt accepted twenty taels of silver from you for nothing, which aunt is it?" ”

"It's a book......" Ku Xing immediately replied, but was robbed by Chen Yiqing.

"It's the aunt of the courtier's uncle and grandfather's family, a distant relative of the family." Chen Yiqing lowered her head and secretly looked at Concubine De.

Concubine De had a smile on the corner of her mouth, her lips were delicate, and she looked at the master and servant, and finally laughed out loud for a long time.

"It is said that the emperor's family still has a poor relative of Sanmenzi, although you are a noble family, it is the same if you think about it." Concubine De lifted her placket and lifted her placket.

"Yes." Chen Yiqing's palms were already sweaty.

"Come on, you guys go for a walk by yourself, this palace has done an afternoon of handicrafts with Concubine Xian, and I'm tired at this time, so I'll go back first."

Concubine De turned around to leave, and when Chen's blessing was about to be sent, Concubine De turned back again.

"By the way, the last time you came, what kind of glue did you bring to this palace, and this palace eats it every day, but it is very useful. What's it called? ”

Chen Yiqing hurriedly answered: "It's Ejiao." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, it's Ejiao, it's really good, the menstrual affairs of the palace in the past two months are much more comfortable, the day before yesterday, I met the Duchess of Dingguo in the imperial garden, she also said that the hair of the palace is also a lot darker, I don't know, where can I buy this Ejiao?"

"Hui Defei Niangniang, this is a famous property of a county under the jurisdiction of our Zhili Prefecture, and the things are not very expensive, you can send someone to go, or pick them up when the Internal Affairs Office procures them." Chen Yiqing didn't speak, and Ku Xing spoke.

After saying a few words, Concubine De not only did not appreciate it, but also made a straight face.

"Miss Chen, you know this rule and etiquette very well, you girl doesn't seem to know much." Concubine Zhang Defei said, squinting at Chen Yiqing, seeing that Chen Yiqing had no reaction, and said: "Kexin, let this girl understand the rules today!" Give me a slap! ”

"Yes!"

After Kexin received the order, he turned to Ku Xing, and even a little eunuch had stepped forward to hold down Ku Xing's shoulder, and then pressed her arm, but Xin stepped forward and couldn't help but say, and threw it down with a palm, and Ku Xing was already screaming.

Seeing this, Chen Yiqing didn't dare to do it for Concubine Zhang De's will.

"Concubine De's lesson is that this girl is usually spoiled." Saying that, Chen Yiqing was blessed to the ground, "Please also ask Concubine De Niangniang and noble people not to worry about the villain, just teach her a lesson." ”

"Kexin, ask her, should the master talk to her as a minion?" Concubine De is calm and relaxed, and she is commanding.

Ku Xing hurriedly threw herself to her knees and cried with a whimper, blood oozing from the corners of her mouth.

"Please spare me, Concubine De, I'm used to being at home, and I just collided today." Bitter apricot cried and begged for mercy.

"Hearty! Call me again! In front of this palace, a slave dares to call himself you, me! Concubine De said gritting her teeth.

When Ku Xing heard that she was going to fight, she saw that Ke Xin had already come forward, and she shrank and crawled to the corner of the wall.

"Dare to run?! If you catch it back in this palace, you will not be spared. ”

"Concubine De Niangniang, the courtier's family is lenient, and the control of the subordinates is too shallow, please forgive the mother, and the courtiers must be disciplined well when they are brought back." Saying that, Chen Yiqing also knelt down.

Concubine De was taken aback, and hurriedly asked Kexin to pick up Chen Yiqing, according to the law of Great Xia, except for the queen, no female official in the harem can kneel on informal state ceremonial occasions.

Concubine De also took two steps forward to help Chen Yiqing get up, and at this time she had already changed her face, with a smile on her face.

"Miss Chen, what are you doing here? Kneeling like this, isn't it out of sight. ”

Chen Yiqing stood up and yelled at Ku Xing.

"Stupid girl, don't come to apologize to Concubine De! It's also the wife of the family who is used to you, I don't know how thick the sky is, if Concubine De asks me today, how can you have the share of interjecting? ! Chen Yiqing scolded Ku Xing angrily, but it was mixed with a sense of maintenance.

Ku Xing quickly crawled back and knelt on the ground.

"Please forgive Concubine De, the slave entered the palace, and he couldn't keep his mouth shut, today Concubine Xie De is teaching." As he spoke, Ku Xing kowtowed again and again.

Concubine De lifted her placket again, looking impatient.

"Okay, with your young lady here today, I guess I can restrain you well when I go back, and it will be your turn to be wild in this palace." Concubine De cleared her throat and said, "This palace asks you again, you just said that this Ejiao is a product of which county in Zhili?" ”

Chen Yiqing was busy with her body.

"Concubine De, Ququ is a little ejiao, and you are still working Zhang Luo, and the family will send it in a few days, and the courtiers will let the family bring it together."

"It's still your girl who is sensible, and it's heartfelt to go back and count how much money the branch has, and we have to settle the accounts when we ask for people." Concubine Zhang Defei said it clearly.

"Concubine De, you are slapping the face of the courtier, a wild thing in the countryside, where is it worth money, if you and the courtier's family such a small thing is also clear, you must not be angry, blame the courtier!"

"Hey, I know that Miss Chen is the most knowledgeable, but this slave has affected the girl!" Concubine Zhang De's face changed, "Okay, your heart, if this palace doesn't follow, it will seem that this palace is stingy, and you can send this girl to send it when you go back." ”

"Concubine Shede!" Chen Yiqing pulled the bitter apricot to thank her.

"It's done, you guys go shopping too, this time the palace is really tired, let's go first." As soon as he said that, he raised his hand, but he quickly held on, and the group went in the direction of the Yue Palace.

Chen Yiqing's master and servant cursed Concubine De, don't mention it.

Concubine De crossed her arms and walked towards the Yue Palace, and as soon as she turned into the alley in front of the courtyard, she had already seen Zhou Liang waiting at the gate of the palace.

"Yo! Manager Zhou, what kind of gust of wind is this that blew you here? A smile tugged at the corner of Concubine De's mouth.

"The slave greets Concubine De Niangniang!" Saying that, Zhou Liang gave a deep salute.

"Alright, get up. You are also an old man in the palace, so you don't have to be rusty. "When Concubine De saw Zhou Liang waiting, she felt that it must be a good thing." Come in with Hongu! ”

A group of mermaids rushed in and walked into the main hall of the Yueyue Palace. Concubine De sat in the chair, took the handkerchief handed by Ke Xin, wiped her hands, and rinsed her mouth with tea. Only then did he take care of Zhou Liang.

"Tell me, what's the good thing?" The corners of Concubine De's mouth twitched upward.

"Congratulations to Concubine De, the emperor specially ordered your sign to sleep tonight." Zhou Liang had a smile on his face.

Concubine Zhang Defei was full of joy, clasped her hands together, and chanted Amitabha Buddha vigorously.

"Concubine De, the emperor hasn't been to this harem for almost two months, and today I ordered your brand alone, and I ...... But I didn't say a lot of good things for you! Zhou Liang explained and directly invited credit.

"Sweet, quick! Bring what you prepared earlier! ”

Concubine Zhang Defei ordered, and after a while, Ke Xin dragged something out with both hands, covered a veil, and put it in front of Concubine De. Concubine De raised her hand and motioned for everyone to retreat, but Ke Xin led everyone out of the room.

Concubine De gently removed the veil, and then pushed the thing forward.

Zhou Liang stepped forward to take a look and hurriedly knelt down.

"Concubine De, this, this, this is too precious, the slave is just doing his best, how to accept it. You, you better put it away. Zhou Liang excused himself.

"There's more to this than just the hearts of the people, you know. Let's take it. Concubine De said softly.

"This, this is too precious, slave, deserve it." Zhou Liang resigned.

"Hey, you think our people are small-minded." Zhang Defei straightened her face.

Zhou Liang knelt on the ground and muttered for a long time, and Fang raised his head.

"Since it is disrespectful, the slave has the courage to accept this generous gift first, and he will be a dog and horse in the future."

When Concubine De saw that he had spit and accepted it, she smiled again, hurriedly beckoned him to get up, wrapped the valuable thing again, and handed it to him personally.

"Kexin, change a new pot of tea for the palace, and fill a stool for Manager Zhou."

I saw Kexin leading the crowd, and the hula-la-la came in again, and each took its place and performed its own duties.

Zhou Liang drank a few sips of tea from Concubine De, and was a little uneasy, so he muttered to Concubine De in a low voice.

"Niangniang, the slave faintly heard it just now, you reprimanded that Chen's girl, but?"

"Exactly! This Chen brought a girl in, just bring a good one, but brought in a person who doesn't understand the rules, and he bumped into me today, and he must teach me a good lesson. Concubine De raised her voice and said.

"Niangniang, this Chen, you still have to let it go a little more, the old slave looks, I'm afraid that the matter is going to be decided, maybe it's her!"

Concubine Zhang Defei was stunned, and her face changed a little.

"That's it! Anyway, it's a fight. ”

"yes, let's fight." Zhou Liang helped Concubine De think about how to be thoughtful, but she couldn't think of it for a while, and if she thought about a subordinate, forget it.

"Zhou Liang, this palace and ask you, last time the palace served, that, that fun, the emperor likes it?" As she spoke, Concubine Zhang Defei looked shy, and her words became more and more twisted. "Did I mention it to you again?"

As soon as Zhou Liang was told by her, the corners of his mouth also pulled out an evil smile. Then nodded. Concubine Zhang Defei saw him nodding, and she was overjoyed in her heart, and hurriedly asked.

"You say...... Does the palace need to change its clothes today? Concubine Zhang Defei became more and more shy.

Zhou Liang took two steps forward, and his low voice was a burst of laughter in Concubine De's ear, Concubine De was still smiling at first, but later, she covered her face with a handkerchief in shame.

"Oops! It turns out that the emperor is also so bad, you go back and tell the emperor that the palace will go back after a watch. ”

After saying that, Concubine De got up and turned into the inner room. Zhou Liang retired.

Out of the Yueyue Palace, Zhou Liang took out the valuable thing and looked at it again and again, put it in his arms, looked up at the sky, sighed, and shook off the dust and went back to the Qiangang Palace.
