It has been nearly a year since I entered the palace, and I got up in the morning to go to Ningshou Palace to ask for peace, and Princess Rongshou was also there, Cixi asked Li Lianying to come from the Jingshifang to "Living Note" and looked at it page by page, most of the past, Cixi's brows have become tighter and tighter, and there are quite a few complaints, "The harem is implicated in the previous dynasty, and the Jingshifang should not blindly follow the emperor's temperament, but should persuade the emperor to be wet with rain and dew." ”

Princess Rongshou glanced at me from the side, stepped forward and tugged Cixi's sleeve, and said in a joty voice: "Lafayette, whose brand is turned is the emperor's own business, how can this kind of thing be forced, just go with the emperor!" ”

Longyu's eyebrows tightened, put down the porcelain cup that he had only drunk half of in his hand, looked at Princess Rongshou, and asked, "Hasn't the eldest princess always been at odds with Concubine Zhen?" How could such a thing be said today? ”

Rong Shou was puzzled, "Why did the queen mother say that?" ”

My eyes gently swept over Longyu's slightly restless face, and I slowly raised my hand to flick the pearl tassel earrings hanging from my neck.

Long Yu snorted coldly and said: "Who in the harem doesn't know that the emperor has been favoring concubines for a month. ”

Princess Rongshou said with a smile: "The queen mother's words are wrong to blame me, I have always been kind to others, and I have never had any disagreement with Zhen Concubine, that day the gallop horse beat me and Zhen Concubine is just a small mix of two words, each expressing their opinions, time has passed, this idea is a little thing thanks to the Queen Mother still remembers, I and Zhen Concubine have long forgotten," said, she looked at me, "Zhen Concubine, did you say?" ”

I smiled faintly and nodded, "Celestia is right." ”

Princess Rongshou had a smile on the corner of her mouth, and then said: "Besides, I didn't want to help anyone with the sentence I just said, how can I know the content of the "Living Note", it's just common sense, after all, I was also married, and I don't know anything about the bed." ”

Seeing that Cixi didn't speak, Emperor Dunyi said with a smile: "Although the eldest princess is also married, but speaking of the rules in the Forbidden City are much more than in the prince's mansion, the eldest princess was extremely honored in the Fucha family back then, but anyone who wants to meet with the concubine is still restricted, not to mention the huge Forbidden City, the emperor is the king of a country, naturally to balance the former dynasty and the harem, the matter of sleeping is no longer the emperor's own business, how can the eldest princess say what the emperor wants, Commoners should not spoil their concubines too much, so as not to spoil their wives and hurt the luck of the family, not to mention the royal fortune? ”

Concubine Xun frowned slightly, "When it comes to the emperor's harem as a concubine, she shouldn't have interjected, but there is a sentence that the slave has to say," she raised her eyes slightly and looked at Longyu, "The queen is the middle palace, and she is the niece of Lafayette, what an honorable identity, it stands to reason that the emperor should have valued the most Zhongcui Palace in the first year, but the emperor spoiled Jingren Palace with his own temperament, and secretly the queen's disgraced appearance refused to show it at all, so that Lafayette was worried, and she was afraid of making the harem minions and slaves laugh, can only knock out the teeth and swallow them in the stomach, and the slaves sometimes feel aggrieved for the queen mother in their eyes! ”

I said lightly: "Niangniang is joking," slowly raised her eyes and quietly stared at the concubine, "The concubine lives in the Changchun Palace of the West Sixth Palace, and the lord of the Changchun Palace is the Imperial Concubine of Dunyi, and the Queen Mother's Zhongcui Palace is in the East Sixth Palace, and the two palaces are far apart. ”

Concubine Xun frowned, and when she saw Ziyu on the side, she couldn't help laughing: "Speaking of which, Concubine Zhen and Concubine Jin, the relationship between your two sisters is really good, Concubine Jin watched her sister get the favor of the Holy Grace, but she was so depressed, and she was still so calm on her face, if it were me, I would have been stunned a long time ago." ”

As soon as these words were spoken, Cixi straightened up and sat a little crooked.

Ziyu raised the porcelain cup and sniffed it gently, half-squinted his eyes, a trace of indifferent smile appeared on his face, and his eyes slowly looked at Cixi, "Lafayette has good intentions, and letting the slave and the slave sister enter the palace together is to hope that the slave sisters can watch and help each other, and hope that the harem can be peaceful with less suspicion, how can the slave live up to Lafayette's hard work, and if even the sisters who grew up together are jealous of each other, isn't it just to announce to the world that he is stingy in the Tara clan?" ”

Ziyu's words made me admire, and I couldn't help but look at Ziyu and said: "My sister has cared for the slave since she was a child, and she is humble and generous, grandma and uncle said before entering the palace that the sister knows how to advance and retreat, and is gentle and humble to anyone. ”

Princess Rongshou smiled at Cixi and said: "Lafayette, this is everyone's beauty, and the number of etiquette is extraordinary, compared to those stingy ghosts who compete with their own sisters for favor and jealousy and are not ashamed to speak." After speaking, Princess Rongshou's eyes looked at Concubine Xun.

Cixi couldn't help sighing, turned her head sideways and instructed Li Lianying: "You carefully go to the Jingshifang to persuade the emperor, but you don't have to interfere too much, don't be like Empress Xiao Zheyi back then," As she spoke, Cixi handed the "Living Note" in her hand to Li Lianying, her eyes gently swept over the people below, frowned, and said, "Concubine Zhen and Concubine Jin are still young, you concubines must know how to teach and guide well, what's the use of just playing tricks here in the mourning family." Li Lianying followed and retreated.

Several concubines said in unison: "Yes." ”

After a while, Cixi said that she was a little weak and wanted to go in and sleep for a while, so she only let everyone retreat by themselves, the sun was shining outside, the sparrows were patrolling back and forth in the breeze, and the air was full of their murmuring sounds, and although several crape myrtle trees were in full bloom and close to each other, the pink petals between the branches were still colorful and fragrant.

I, Ziyu and Princess Rongshou walked together casually, and when they came out of Ningshou Palace, they had to gossip a few words, and the chrysanthemums blooming under the weeping flower door after entering the courtyard were colorful, red as a flame, as white as snowflakes, and as purple as eggplant, and colorful in the eyes, and purple and red, I walked through the door and suddenly heard someone talking inside, like Longyu's voice, I tiptoed close to the door and eavesdropped, "I thought that the eldest princess was standing on the side of the palace, but I never thought when I would collude with a few concubines again!" ”

Ziyu and Princess Rongshou also quietly walked over, I turned my head to stare at the two of them, Princess Rongshou raised her index finger to signal me to silence, and the voice of the concubine inside sounded again: "Lafayette also told us to teach and guide well, where can we teach those two sisters." ”
