Empress Dowager Gao had expected that Mu Biwei chose to come to this eye bone to ask to see herself, and she must have wanted to take advantage of Sun's pregnancy to get a piece of the pie, because of Mu Qi's early years and the love of the first emperor Ruizong, plus the face of Concubine Wen, and Empress Dowager Gao was indeed as Mu Biwei expected, and she did not want to have a single concubine in this palace, compared to the Sun family and the Tang family, even if it was He's, Mu Biwei's background was closer to the kind that Empress Dowager Gao liked.

Therefore, after she received the advice of the little waiter at the gate of Ganquan Palace, she nodded and agreed to ask Mu Biwei to come in and see her, and now she heard Mu Biwei say that she asked for sin, but she was not surprised, but asked lightly: "What kind of crime do you ask?" If it's because of the favor, the emperor is young, and he can't help but be pampered in the harem, and there are more people who have committed this in the past two years, and the mourning family is old, and he doesn't have the heart to care about it, and there is no more of you. ”

Empress Dowager Gao's words seemed to be asking Mu Biwei for the reason for the guilt, but the meaning of the words was tantamount to telling Mu Biwei that if there was no new reason, she would not be wordy, she was already tired of hearing it.

Mu Biwei knew that Empress Dowager Gao was the first match of Ruizong, and she was from an ordinary princess to the queen mother, and she must have seen too many tricks of the harem concubines in the past few decades, so she didn't dare to slack off, she kowtowed first, and then said with a hint of trembling: "The slave and maid are afraid, the slave and maid really don't know that they have offended Ouyang Niangniang's close attendant Ke Qingyi with Ge Nuo earlier, so they are rude to Ouyang Niangniang, and now they really don't dare to go to Deyang Palace to ask Ouyang Niangniang for guilt, thinking that the queen mother and concubine are all benevolent people, Only then did he ask the queen mother to turn around for the slave maid by offering plum cakes! "Because the Ouyang family was originally Zhaoxun, and now it has been reduced to Ninghua, although they can all be called Niangniang, but this demote Queen Mother Gao must not like it, Mu Biwei will be called by her surname, which is also a coincidence.

Her words were unexpected by Empress Dowager Gao, and she glanced at Concubine Wen, frowned, and said, "What is the matter?" "Ouyang's punishment, who is behind the back, of course Empress Dowager Gao knows, even if Mu Biwei's words Empress Dowager Gao can't know everything, but from the Ouyang family's demotion, but also descended to the holy decree of the position after Shunhua, it can probably be inferred Mu Biwei's "merit".

It's just that Empress Dowager Gao thought that Mu Biwei would be useful, so she planned to pretend to be confused this time, and she didn't want Mu Biwei to come up and take the initiative to mention it.

"Back to the Queen Mother, this matter is really the slave's fault, because when he woke up, His Majesty's decree to order Ouyang Niangniang to demote to Ninghua has gone down, and the slave and maid are so anxious that they can't do it, I wanted to go to Deyang Palace to ask Ouyang Niangniang for guilt first, but I was worried that Niangniang was angry, and the slave and maid were not afraid of being punished, after all, it was the slave and the maid who did something wrong, and Ouyang Niangniang punished the slave and maid as it should." Mu Biwei said that when she said this, her expression was mournful, and two lines of tears fell, she didn't dare to take the handkerchief out to wipe it, let the tears drip on the placket, and continued to say sadly, "It's just that the old servant of the slave maid entered the palace with the grace of His Majesty three days ago, and brought a piece of news, saying that the grandmother left the house for the first time because the slave and maid were so old, although she knew that it was a great grace for the slave and maid to serve His Majesty now, she was worried about it, and her diet was reduced a lot, and the slave's father was not very good these two days. The slave maid thought that if it was rumored in the palace that the slave maid had done something wrong and was punished by Ouyang Niangniang, the slave's grandmother and father would definitely be more worried, and the slave maid thought about it, although she knew that it was really presumptuous to come and ask the queen mother, but she couldn't take care of it......"

When it came to the last few words, Mu Biwei was already sad and helpless, almost speechless!

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Gao's eyebrows were already impatient, Mu Biwei quickly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and then got down to business, first pointed to the robe behind her, and Ah Shan had already followed Mu Biwei to kneel, and then lowered her head again, looking at the very pitiful appearance, Mu Bi said slightly: "The Empress Dowager Mingjian, the slave maid has been graced by His Majesty, and stayed in the Jique Palace to serve His Majesty, His Majesty instructed the slave and maid to follow the example of the three sages, so he gave the wind and lotus residence to live, and gave four palace people to take care of the slave and maid, This palace maid is now renamed Bang Yu with another palace maid, and her earlier name was Diecui, which was transferred to Jique Palace after Zuo Zhaoyi took charge of palace affairs two years ago. ”

Hearing Zuo Zhaoyi's three words, Mrs. Gao was even more dazed, and said, "Then what?" ”

"When the slave maid first entered the palace, she didn't understand anything, so she couldn't help but ask her for advice, and she told the slave maid a lot of things, but she explained to the slave maid that she and another little chamberlain named Ge Nuo in the Wind Lotus Courtyard did not serve in Jique Palace. Mu Biwei said sadly, "Said that she and Ge Nuo had a very good relationship in the past, and they were commensurate with sisters and brothers, and Ge Nuo was transferred to Jique Palace, because of the incident collided with Ouyang Niangniang's close attendant Ke Qingyi, so he was punished, and later, Ji Que lacked people, when Zuo Zhaoyi was in charge of the palace, and transferred palace people from various palaces to supplement, including Bang Yuan, because of Ge Nuo's earlier recklessness, worried that he would continue to cause trouble if he left no one to mention it in the place where he was originally serving, so he had the courage to ask Zuo Zhaoyi, not wanting Zuo Zhaoyi to be virtuous and benevolent, and allowed her to ask, Both of them went to Jique to serve, not to mention, the slave maid stayed in the Wind Lotus Courtyard, and both of them were transferred! ”

At this point, with the experience of Empress Dowager Gao and Concubine Wen in the palace, they could almost guess Mu Biwei's next words, but they were just going through the motions and finishing in the end, so Empress Dowager Gao said lightly: "Since they offended the Ouyang clan before you entered the palace, what does it have to do with you?" Could it be that for this trivial matter, you have to worry that the Ouyang clan will be embarrassed by you? This is too underestimating the girl of the Ouyang family! ”

"What the Queen Mother said is exactly right!" Mu Bi nodded heavily, and said with regret and shame, "It was the slave maid who entered the palace, and I was anxious to ask this and that, at that time, I heard that she and Ge Nuo had offended Ouyang Niangniang's side, and only asked about the position of the mother, but she didn't ask deeply-I was not afraid of the queen mother's jokes, when the slave maid was at home in the past, because my father and brother were not in Yedu for a long time, my grandmother was tightly controlled, and I was not allowed to go out easily, so although I grew up in Yedu, I didn't know much about the people in Yedu, of course the slaves and maids of the Ouyang family had heard of it, but they only entered the palace at that time, I was inevitably a little uneasy in my heart, but I didn't expect to go for a while! I only heard that Ouyang Niangniang's position and palace room asked about the side, and this is why I later misunderstood Niangniang! ”

This will be Concubine Wen who answered and asked her to continue, Concubine Wen smiled and said: "The girl of the Ouyang family was raised by the old lady of the Ouyang family, and her bearing is the best, how could she take it to heart if she misunderstood a little?" What have you done to be so afraid? ”

"If you go back to the concubine, the slave's mistake is too big." Mu Biwei took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes again, and said bitterly, "A few days ago, it was the day when Shunhua Niangniang sent out the pregnancy letter, Ronghua Niangniang of Qilan Hall of Pingle Palace invited Ouyang Niangniang to go over to enjoy the plum, and in the middle Ronghua Niangniang thought of the slave maid, so she called the slave and maid over, and the slave maid went, and then met Ouyang Niangniang, but I didn't want Ouyang Niangniang to look uncertain when she saw the slave maid, the slave didn't know Ouyang Niangniang's origin at the time, but after listening to Rong Hua Niangniang's introduction, I thought that Ouyang Niangniang was afraid that it was because the slave maid was wearing a lap that day, and she was angry with the slave maid- ”

When she said this, Empress Dowager Gao was displeased: "What nonsense! "Even if the Ouyang family is not surnamed Gao, in the end it is also from the Gao family's girl, although the Empress Dowager Gao knows that Mu Biwei must have the following, this is not happy to hear.

"Where do you want to come now, Ouyang Niangniang's angry slave?" Mu Biwei covered her face with her sleeves, and she looked unspeakably ashamed, she sighed, "I think Ouyang Niangniang is a concubine, not only the daughter of the Ouyang family, but also the niece of the Queen Mother, don't say that Ge Nuo and Bang are just ordinary palace people, they are slaves, how can they get into Ouyang Niangniang's eyes?" The reason why Ouyang Niangniang is hesitant about the slave and maid is probably because the slave and maid have strict rules, and the slave and maid have only been in the palace for a few days, and they have never learned the rules of the palace. But I don't want the slave to be so stupid, and I have a good heart for my mother! Slaves...... Slaves and maids are really sinful and deserve death! ”

"Because of this doubt saved in the Pingle Palace, and later because Shunhua Niangniang was pregnant, and fainted in the New Year's Palace, His Majesty asked the next day because of his concern for the heir. After that, His Majesty thought that it was because he was worried about the heir in the womb of Shunhua Niangniang, and when he heard that Ouyang Niangniang was indeed in Pingle Palace the day before, he was furious, and made a holy decree to Ouyang Niangniang on the spot! Seeing this, the slave and maid were too frightened to say anything, and then His Majesty was a little angry, so he called the slave and maid over and interrogated carefully, and the slave and maid did not have anything to do with Shunhua Niangniang...... Meeting, so only with His Majesty told His Majesty that he was summoned to the Pingle Palace, His Majesty heard the slave maid say that Ouyang Niangniang asked the slave maid to fold more plum blossoms and send them to Deyang Palace, and asked the slave Shunhua Niangniang and Ouyang Niangniang had a conflict but it was for the sake of folding plum blossoms, and the slave and maid did not see Shunhua Niangniang, and did not know what Shunhua Niangniang was angry for, so he told His Majesty that the slave and maid did not know. Because he thought of the name of King Gaoyang, Mu Biwei temporarily changed the photo to meet, and the more he spoke, the quieter his voice became, but the guilt on his face became more and more prevalent, and in the end he couldn't even raise his head, "Your Majesty is worried about Shunhua Niangniang's heirs, and asked the slave maid Ouyang Niangniang There are a lot of attendants around her, and Niangniang went to Pingle Palace was also invited by Ronghua Niangniang, why did many palace people want to call the slave maid from the Xuanshu Hall to fold plum blossoms for Ouyang Niangniang?" The slave and maid couldn't answer, and His Majesty asked urgently...... Slaves...... The slave maid was scared, and she thought about it for a while, so she told His Majesty about the robe and Ge Nuo, and guessed whether Ouyang Niangniang was angry with the slave because of this! ”

Speaking of this, she didn't wait for Empress Dowager Gao to talk to Concubine Wen, she knocked her head heavily on the ground, and when she raised her head, her forehead was already red, and she said guiltily: "It was the slave who was reckless and ignorant and offended Ouyang Niangniang, although His Majesty reprimanded the slave and maid at that time, and told the slave Ouyang Niangniang's origin, after hearing it, the slave and maid were simply embarrassed!" At that time, although I immediately wanted to go to Deyang Palace to ask my mother for guilt, but ...... But when I think of my grandmother and father......"

She lowered her head, not daring to say more, but tears fell on the temple bricks in front of her one by one.

Empress Dowager Gao and Concubine Wen glanced at each other, and there was a hint of complexity in the former's eyes.

After a while, Mu Biwei waited for the voice of the Empress Dowager Gao, faintly and without any bias: "You get up and speak first!" ”

This will Mu Biwei didn't dare to relax, and kowtowed again before standing up, ashamed and said: "The slave is really shameless." ”
