Chapter 12: The Yang Clan
Emperor Xingxi Xiji Palace, the chief manager Ruan Wenyi took the lead to greet him, he looked much older than last year, because he had been kneeling for a long time, he even shook when he got up, taking advantage of Ji Shen's entry into the palace, Gu Changfu stepped forward with a filial face and helped him - he was the only one who did this, and the people next to him, including Zhuo Heng and others, who were even difficult to run errands when Ruan Wenyi was still a eunuch, did not squint at him.
Ji Shen didn't have a very good impression of this servant who had served him for many years, and when he kowtowed, he sent it away.
The residence of the concubines is usually decided by the He family and Mu Biwei, but there was something wrong when they were placed - Yang Ninghua wanted to let the family of the family live closer to her, but the courtyard she fancied was intended by Mu Biwei for the Cao family, Mu Biwei was naturally not polite, and glanced at their cousins coldly: "I heard that the main purpose of the Kong family is to relax this time?" Since it's a distraction, I'm afraid that there will be more people and I'll be bored of looking at it, so it's better to pick a secluded place, and this courtyard and palace will see that the Cao family is going to live. ”
Cao Shi immediately said: "The concubine obeys the order!" ”
Yang frowned and looked at He, and He smiled peacefully: "Do you say that you are distracted, who is not distracted this time?" Guarding in the palace all day long, even the palace feels stuffy, as for this courtyard, the palace is indeed relatively close to where Yang Ninghua lives, in the end, Kong Shiwei is Yang Ninghua's cousin......"
"This palace has forgotten that Yang Ninghua is sympathetic to her cousin." Mu Bi showed a hint of abruptness, nodded happily, but said, "Since this is the case, then Yang Ninghua will also live in the middle of nowhere, so that it is convenient for the cousins to talk back and forth, and they will not be disturbed." ”
Yang choked, and He said: "Sister Mu said this, you arranged Yang Ninghua so far, carefully turn around and ask Your Majesty for someone, but Yang Ninghua couldn't get there for a while." ”
"What does it matter?" Mu Biwei said lightly, "If Yang Ninghua can't arrive, is there still someone accompanying him!" Cao Shiwei? ”
The Cao family understood, pursed his lips and smiled: "Niangniang, please rest assured, the concubine will do her best to serve Your Majesty!" Don't dare to delay anything! ”
"It's not just Cao Shinu who is driving." Mu Bi said lightly, "This palace thinks that everyone is a hard-working person, is it possible that this time to serve His Majesty, is it counting on Yang Ninghua?" If Yang Ninghua is inconvenient, will Your Majesty be ignored? How can this be true? If anyone thinks so much about being lazy, this palace will not follow! As he said this, he looked sternly at the people around him.
The concubines had no choice but to say: "The concubines dare not be negligent!" ”
Ho's eyes flashed, but he didn't continue to speak.
That night, Ji Shen summoned Xingkang Ronghua, and Yang went to He to cry: "Mu Guiji is a bully!" ”
"Why do you have to rob the Cao family's yard for your cousin?" He Shi was very unhappy, "Bengong doesn't remember asking you to clash with Changjin Palace, right?" ”
Yang said aggrievedly: "Zuo Zhaoyi doesn't know, that Cao looks shy and shy, but in fact it is extremely rude!" It's just that my cousin's favor is scarce these days, and the last time His Majesty was difficult to get Qiong Xinlou to go once, I didn't want her to use the excuse of asking my cousin Luozi's playing style to bother, and I relied on my cousin's honesty to pull His Majesty away...... Now it's not the concubine who provokes Changjin Palace, it's Changjin Palace who slapped us in the face first! ”
"Don't think that this palace is easy to deceive." He Shi had a cold face and said coldly, "Cao Shi did that, isn't it because you met her in the palace to embarrass her in the palace before?" She is still just a woman in the world, so she can't help you, the concubine, so she will take revenge on the Kong family first! Speaking of which, Kong's is not affected by you! ”
"Zuo Zhaoyi!" Yang said dissatisfiedly, "The concubine is a concubine, then the Cao family is just a woman, the concubine taught her a few words, she dared not to put the concubine in her eyes!" The concubine was angry, but she scolded her a few words! This is also why she doesn't take the palace rules in her eyes first! ”
He narrowed his eyes, looked at her deeply, and suddenly said: "You have always been a smart person, those who entered the palace at the same time as you, Bu Shi was the most proud, but she fell hard!" Gao Longhui, he gave birth to a good family, and he had the fourth daughter of the emperor, so he became a concubine, and among the rest of the people, Ye Hanxi relied on the Mu family to become a concubine, and the Yun family half relied on the Mu family and half relied on scheming, and now it is only Guangxun, and it is one place behind you in order! The future of the forces is you! ”
Yang didn't know what she meant by suddenly saying this, and shouted a little uneasily: "Zuo Zhaoyi, concubine ......"
"I liked you very much since the former Queen Duanming was there, otherwise Queen Duanming sealed the six palaces before her death, why are you the only one among the royal maids who has been promoted to concubine?" He said quietly, "But Queen Duanming is no longer there, you are a well-behaved person, but you can't be well-behaved and wrong, otherwise, isn't Bu an example?" ”
Yang was stunned and subconsciously bit his lip.

Kong Yueying said worriedly: "Since Zuo Zhaoyi has said so, then in my opinion...... Let's leave it alone, shall we? ”
"Leave it alone?" Yang frowned, shook his head and said, "Cousin, how can we stop now?" Let's not talk about the benefits we have received from the Su family in the past few years, will they leave no evidence? Let's just talk about our family, last time Mrs. Wu Yingjun said that she could recommend her cousin to join the company...... Couldn't it be bad for my cousin? ”
Kong Yueying's face changed!
"There's no way back." Yang smiled bitterly and said, "Zuo Zhaoyi is in the light, let's be dark, but Mu Guiji hasn't counted these people in their hearts?" We are all tied to the same boat as the Su family, if we don't do it, we won't do it, how can it be so easy? ”
After a pause, she clenched her fists and said, "What is Zuo Zhaoyi?" Her mother's family is not as good as us! It's just that I entered the palace for a few years before I entered the eyes of Queen Duanming, if I entered the palace at the same time as her...... After all, we can't rest assured that we don't have children! New people enter the palace year after year, and Your Majesty is in full bloom in spring and autumn......"
Kong Yueying smiled bitterly and said: "But these few times to provoke Mu Guiji, Mu Guiji has already realized it, she is one of the three ladies, her position is second only to Zuo Zhaoyi, and even Zuo Zhaoyi is afraid of her, the Su family calls you to play as a striker, where can you think about it?" ”
She said with palpitations, "Let me say that I would rather offend Zuo Zhaoyi than offend Mu Guiji, such a person from the military general's family!" The palace of Hualuo dared to let the female official kill the Zhang family in public! The Queen Mother and Her Majesty didn't say anything to her, and even Mrs. Wuyingjun specially entered the palace to apologize to Zuo Zhaoyi...... You say she'......"
"That Zhang is just a slave." Yang lowered his eyelashes and said softly, "We are serious imperial concubines, and even the queen of the main palace can't shout and kill us." ”
But she was thinking in her heart, according to the queen mother's sex. Son, Ah Shan killed people in Hualuo Hall in public, although he only killed a slave maid, but the Queen Mother will definitely reprimand a few words, even if she knows that Mu Biwei is not the right thing, she must do it like this...... The problem is that the Queen Mother is silent, the Queen Mother is not Ji Shen, and the Queen Mother doesn't like Mu Biwei very much...... Then why didn't there be anything in the hall this time?
Most likely, the Queen Mother didn't know about it at all!
Empress Dowager Gao was from the princess to the princess to the queen, and then to the queen mother, she used to be the justifiable hostess of the palace, although she handed over the power since the predecessor Zuo Zhaoyi Qu entered the palace, but the accumulated manpower is not so closed?
Then why didn't she even know about this matter that the six palaces knew?
Yang bit his lower lip - since the death of Empress Duanming, the Queen Mother has been grief-stricken excessively, and she has aged a lot all of a sudden, and her body seems to be not as good as before after that...... In addition, raising the eldest son and the second son of the emperor, even if there are palace people to serve them, it is always a matter of exhaustion...... Could it be that the Queen Mother has declined to such a point that the people around her don't even dare to tell her about the killing of a slave and maid?
If so...... It has always been difficult for the concubines to inquire about the news of the palace, of course, this is also related to the fact that the relationship between Ji Shen and the Queen Mother is not very good, what the Queen Mother said is not very effective, it is not worth putting in the effort to install eyeliner, and the Queen Mother Gao uses most of the old people for many years, which is not so easy to buy......
It's just that if the Empress Dowager Gao is really not big...... The eldest son of the emperor is six years old this year, and when it comes to his birthday after the spring hunt, he is enlightened, and he can already live in the Linzhi Palace, but the second son of the emperor ...... is a year old, and it is not impossible to reluctantly go to Linzhi Palace to live, but it may not be impossible to find someone to support again...... If the Queen Mother is gone, Ji Shen, but she is happy to be happy and willing to agree to anything......
Yang couldn't help but think about it......
…………………………………………………………………………………………
When Yang was guessing the body of the Empress Dowager Gao, Mu Biwei was telling Ji Kai: "Ming'er is hunting, follow your father and the emperor, the mother concubine asked Ah Shan to accompany you, and your little uncle is also in front of the emperor, remember to greet your eldest brother and second brother, they were infected with smallpox in their early years, and there were traces on their faces, and your eldest brother's legs were also a little inconvenient, so you are not allowed to talk about yourself or look at the traces on their faces, if you get off the horse and walk with your eldest brother, you have to walk slowly...... Of course, if there is anything wrong, you just run away from you, and don't care about him - the mother concubine is only one son, and as for your fourth brother, just say hello, and don't get too close to him, you know? ”
Ji Kai was very dissatisfied with his desire to follow Ji Shen: "The eldest brother and the second brother, it's not that the sons have never seen each other, and the concubine has to tell her like this every time she has a feast...... Erchen has never committed a crime! Now I have to be able to memorize it...... Do the sons have to follow their father with them? Erchen prefers to be with the eldest sister and the second sister. "When he came over last year, he also followed Ji Shen out hunting a few times, and then together with Xiping and Xintai, in comparison, the three brothers who didn't see each other at all except for the New Year's holidays, and the sister who grew up together, of course, it was more interesting to be with the latter.
"Don't be willful." Mu Bi said slightly, "Your sisters are also older, this time their companions have come, you are a Langjun, what kind of fun are you with the girl's family?" ”
Ji Kai asked again: "Where is my cousin?" ”
"Of course she's with your sisters." Mu Bi said.
Ji Kai said enviously: "Can't I exchange with my cousin?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense!" Mu Biwei slapped him and scolded lightly.
