Chapter XVIII

Three days after the palace election, the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs came.

The ten show girls this time were all selected as palace concubines, but their positions were different and their residences were far and near.

The highest position is Nie Hongzhao, named Jieyu, given to live in the Yusheng Hall of Changle Palace, and holds the main position of the first palace.

followed by Zhang Yan, Fang Yanyu and Su Qin, all of whom were named nobles, but only Fang Yanyu gave the title of Shen.

They live in Yonghe Palace, Qingyang Palace and Qixiang Palace.

The other six show girls are not of high status, they are all often agreeing, and the places where they live are relatively remote.

After the decree is handed down, it is the palace that is moved.

Fanzhi arranged for the palace maid to go to the room early in the morning to help the little masters pack up.

She stood in the courtyard, looking at the palace maids and eunuchs who came and went in a hurry, and suddenly felt a little confused, after all the show girls left, the palace gate of Yunxiu Palace would be closed, and it would be reopened for the next draft.

She will leave the palace in about half a year, and in this half year, she will return to the Internal Affairs Office, and the head of the Internal Affairs Office, Kang Dehai, will rearrange her place.

There is still half a year......

Just get through it.

Nie Hongzhao stood at the door of the room, her things were not much, and she cleaned them up after a while.

She sent away the palace maid and eunuch, stood at the door alone, and waited for a while, the corner of the dark purple palace robe crossed the vermilion hanging flower door, and she knew that Song Changning was coming.

As soon as Song Changning entered the room, he poured himself a cup of tea and said casually: "Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master, he has become the master of the first palace, and his future is limitless." ”

Song Changning was not sincere.

Nie Hongzhao listened casually, and curled his lips in a perfunctory response, "Thank you." ”

Song Changning poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Nie Hongzhao, "The master doesn't seem to be happy." ”

Nie Hongzhao was expressionless and said, "No." ”

"Now that Jieyu is not happy, isn't it, the master is not here?" Song Changning raised his eyebrows and joked.

"Say it." Nie Hongzhao doesn't like to beat around the bush, especially when talking to a person with a purpose, she wants to know directly what he wants, "What can you give me?" And what will you take from me? ”

"The little lord is really fast-talking." Song Changning saw that Nie Hongzhao was so frank, and he no longer covered it up too much, and said directly: "I want to be above 10,000 people." ”

Nie Hongzhao quickly looked at Song Changning, "What did you say?" ”

Seeing Nie Hongzhao's reaction, Song Changning couldn't help but sneer and asked, "What?" The master is afraid? Don't the master want it? ”

Of course Nie Hongzhao wants it, now she, if she wants to bring down the queen, her biggest hope is to have absolute power.

However, how easy is it for her now?

Although she is named Jieyu and is in charge of a palace affairs, so what?

At the beginning, Ye Hongzhao was still Concubine Chen, and under the queen, she was the most noble, she also had the right to associate the six palaces, and she was the prince's biological mother.

But what?

In the end, she was reduced to an abandoned concubine in the cold palace, strangled to death by the queen and thrown into the wilderness, didn't you?

Power.

It's something you can't see, you can't touch.

She was also desperate.

But now, she is even more eager to live well.

It's a long time to deal with the queen.

The queen is in the harem, but the power of the previous dynasty should not be underestimated.

Her younger brother Ye Wuxian, who is in charge of the military power, and is about to marry Princess Xiliang, no one can shake the queen at this moment.

Xiliang is the best chess piece for Da Xuan to restrain the Turks, and the emperor will not bear to throw it away.

"Aren't you the Queen's man? Why did you come to me again? Nie Hongzhao picked up the cup, slowly blew the hot tea in the cup, and said unhurriedly.

"Because I know too many secrets about the Queen." Song Changning said lightly: "People who know too many secrets will never end well, so I have to hurry up and find a better way out for myself." ”

"Oh. Is it? Nie Hongzhao glanced at Song Changning, "Why does my father-in-law think that I will be a better way out?" ”

"You will." Song Changning said with great certainty: "At least for me, you are particularly important, even if you are not a good way out, I will protect you and make you a good way out." ”

"Father-in-law is so sure?" Nie Hongzhao said: "If Hongzhao is left with a sign that day, what should my father-in-law do?" ”

Song Changning said bluntly: "I don't fantasize or worry about what didn't happen." ”

Nie Hongzhao smiled slightly, and said nothing more.

Song Changning saw that the time was not early, and he also retired early, he understood that Nie Hongzhao still had reservations about him, but Ye Hongzhao was also slowly beginning to accept him.

Nie Hongzhao is a chess piece, he must make good use of it.

He only said half of what he said just now.

He wants to be above ten thousand people, and no one is below.

He wants to take one step at a time, one step at a time, to make those who have turned him into such a person pay a hundred, a thousand times more painful than him.

Song Changning walked to the door, looked back at Nie Hongzhao, who was still silent in the room, and he opened his mouth to propose: "Actually, Fanzhi is a good person. ”

Nie Hongzhao raised his eyes, and a trace of doubt flashed in his phoenix eyes: "What?" ”

"When you first entered the palace, you are not familiar with everyone in the palace, and if you want to put it around, you must put the person you believe in the most, and Fanzhi is such a person." Song Changning said: "At least, she is very smart. ”

Fanzhi is indeed smart.

She knows best how to protect herself wisely, and easily not reveal any of her cleverness, unless it is absolutely necessary.

That day, he set up a situation and wanted to know which palace maid in Yunxiu Palace was in cahoots with the show girl.

Fanzhi walked to Nie Hongzhao's door, but stopped, and specially reminded Linlang, so that he knew that Fanzhi knew that he was in the room.

He has been carrying a sachet with him all the year round, and the sachet has a very faint fragrance because of its age, but if you smell it carefully, you can still smell the dark incense.

Fanzhi smelled the smell of his sachet and knew that it was a game.

It's just that she didn't demolish it, or let Linlang go.

Her cleverness is just right.

Such a person, staying by Nie Hongzhao's side, is what Nie Hongzhao needs, and it is also what he needs.

If a person who is too smart and desperate has done what he has to do, how will he show his loyalty in the future?

Song Changning has finished explaining, there is no need to say anything else, just wait for Nie Hongzhao to understand by herself, she is a smart person, some words are stopped, and there is no need to say it too clearly.

"Why do you say I'm not Nie Hongzhao?" Nie Hongzhao suddenly remembered that day, Song Changning spoke well, and his confident expression, she couldn't help asking.

Song Changning didn't answer, and walked out of the room door directly.

Nie Hongzhao looked at the emaciated back in the distance, and the doubts in his heart became thicker and thicker.

Song Changning, this person, is really strange.

On the surface, he wants to surrender to himself, but he has another calculation in his bones.

His identity also seemed to be vague, she remembered Ye Hongzhao's period, and she didn't seem to have heard of such a person.

Is he Chang Jingzhong's godson? But I have never heard Chang Jingzhong mention it.

It's just his appearance, but it makes Nie Hongzhao feel a little familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere.

Disturbed memories came flooding back.

Her head suddenly hurt badly.

Song Changning's charming eyes kept appearing in her mind.

Nie Hongzhao clung to the tablecloth, the movement was too big, the cups and teapots on the tablecloth all fell down, and the tea poured all over the table.

She was still pushing herself, constantly reminiscing.

But where the memory rolls, it is very vague.

The only thing she was sure of was.

Those eyes.

She must have seen it.
