Chapter 9 The Passing Years

The newcomers took turns to serve Ji Shen, the Lu family was ranked third, and the next day he was ordered by Ji Shen to be promoted to the royal maid, which was the first newcomer to be promoted this year, which was naturally particularly eye-catching, but not to mention that the Lu family did not dare to underestimate the concubines in the palace, after passing through the Hualuo Palace, Mama Zhang was killed by Ah Shan in public, not only Zuo Zhaoyi and Mu Biwei were not the same thing, but even the Su family, which is said to have sent Mama Zhang into the palace, let Mrs. Wuyingjun enter the palace to apologize...... She was more cautious.

Cautious to the point that even the Jiao family, who was already unknown in the palace and only took care of Princess Changkang, refused to slack off, and this day Jiao saw her come to serve again, so he said: "You don't have to bother like this, just serve Your Majesty more, there has always been nothing to do here in this palace." ”

Lu Shi smiled and said: "Niangniang is sympathetic to the concubine, this is the blessing of the concubine, but when the concubine is at home, the mother often mentions her face, saying that she should not be spoiled and arrogant, but it makes the mother's kindness be disappointed. ”

When she said this, Jiao's couldn't force her away, so she said: "This palace is about to take Liluo to the Yidian, you go with the palace." ”

Heyi Hall is the residence of the Queen Mother, this Lu family knows, she also knows that the Queen Mother attaches great importance to the family, not to mention that she is from the county tribute, even the Jiao family does not seem to be very liked by the Queen Mother, and when she heard that she wanted to go to the Queen Mother, she secretly complained, but at this moment, she couldn't say that she couldn't go, so she had to turn the topic to Princess Changkang to cover up her resistance: "The concubine heard that Princess Changkang had been able to silently release all the "Denglin Fu" the day before yesterday, and Her Royal Highness the princess has not yet enlightened - it can be seen that Her Royal Highness is smart and the mother teaches well. ”

"Denglin Fu" is made by everyone in the previous dynasty, hundreds of words long, there is no lack of obscure dictionaries and words in the middle, Princess Changkang is only six years old now, she can completely memorize it, according to the standard of the princess is good - especially the eldest daughter of the princess Xiping This comparison is in - Princess Xiping is said to be self-assured of her identity, and she has always been not very attentive to her schoolwork, and I am afraid that she will not be able to memorize all "Denglin Fu" until now.

Hearing her praise Changkang, Jiao's also smiled slightly: "This palace taught her a lesson just because she had nothing to do, and she didn't want Changkang to work hard." ”

As soon as she said a word, she ordered the left and right to prepare to go to the palace, and the next words of praise from the Lu family were useless......

In the Chenglian Palace, Mu Biwei listened to Lin Jia's return of 1510 and smiled: "This Lu family is well-behaved. ”

Ah Shan didn't care much about a royal maid, she cared about another thing: "Is what Tang Shinu said true?" The best branches in the Jianxian red that day were sprinkled with medicinal powder that can make people unconscious? ”

"Half-truths." Mu Bi said lightly, "Now the peonies in Yedu have not yet opened, they are all moved out of the greenhouse, and they don't stay overnight outside at all, so naturally they can't drink dew, and the places where they are placed in the imperial garden are all open places, when the wind blows, how much medicine powder can be left?" Besides, how much powder can be stained with peony flowers without dew? If you get too much, aren't you afraid that people will see it? ”

Ah Shan said: "In order to make the flowers look more cute, Naiji also sprinkled water on them like dewdrops. ”

"Hands and feet on the petals are very easy to spot." Mu Biwei said indifferently, "The leaves are the same, but the flower mud and another place are not easy to find, but Tang Shinu picks peonies for cooking, if she has no ulterior motives, it is impossible to see the flower mud, then there is only one place......"

"Stamen?" Ah Shan immediately thought of it.

Mu Biwei nodded: "There is pollen in the stamens, mix some medicinal powder into it, so many peonies are put together, the colors are different, maybe you will think that the pollen of other peonies is blown in by the wind, or it is dyed in the flower room with pollen next to it......"

"But what kind of dish should use peony stamens?" Ah Shanhu said suspiciously, "And last time in Fengyang Palace, the girl also said that Princess Xintai, Tang Shinu has always been cautious, but this time she took all the Jianxian red away is really suspicious, not to mention that we still asked people to go and was also refused." ”

Mu Bi said lightly: "But then you asked Su Si to ask, didn't she say it?" It can be seen that she doesn't want to be a good person for nothing...... What's more, this time, if she got up early to pick peonies and was known in the past, then the people who did tricks and feet on Jian Xianhong would also pit her, after all, she relied on her cooking skills to gain a foothold in the palace, and there were many people who were not convinced! ”

"Could it be Ho's doing?" Ah Shan asked suspiciously, "Your Majesty's favorite thing now is the Four Princes." ”

"He is not so stupid." Mu Bi shook her head slightly, "Besides, in the past few days, Kite Niang is in the palace, and she goes in and out with Yu Lang, she is not next to her when Yu Lang picks the stream fairy red, and after taking it off, she has to choose the best one with her to send it to Yingluo, He expects that he will not set up this kind of trap that is very likely to harm Kite Niang by mistake...... I'm thinking that the person who started this may be the idea of the Yedu family, but I don't know who it is? ”

She showed a thoughtful look, "The eldest son of the emperor is about to be enlightened, and the other princes will also enter school one after another, Your Majesty Mingli is the most beloved of the four princes, and the family of Yedu is naturally not at ease, this will calculate a handful, so as to arouse my hostility towards the four princes, if I guess correctly, Tang Shiwei also has the intention of using this matter to show goodwill......"

"What are you going to do?" Ah Shan asked.

"I ......" Mu Biwei thought for a while, but said with a sneer, "I really don't have the heart to be here now, I just hope that the eldest brother will give me an answer as soon as possible...... However, if you don't reciprocate, you will be a bully when my son is still a good one! She looked bored, "Call Cen Ping here!" ”

Cen Ping soon arrived, saluted, and asked earnestly: "What is the dispatch of the mother to summon the slave maid?" ”

"Two days ago, Bengong took Yinglang and his niece to play in the imperial garden, and Yinglang promised Yingluo to bring her two Jianxian Hong." Mu Bi said lightly, "I don't want to be folded by Tang Shiwei that day!" ”

Cen Ping naturally knew about this matter, his mind immediately moved, and he couldn't help but take a step forward, and asked solemnly: "Niangniang, but those flowers ......"

"You guessed right." Mu Bi bowed slightly, "At that time, the palace asked someone to catch up with Tang Shinu and ask for two back, but I didn't want Tang Shinu to say that she had already been put in the pot!" The peony is not a green vegetable, she picks so many stream fairy red, and half of the open flowers are not left, so the palace naturally wants to ask people to understand. ”

Speaking of this, Cen Ping's face changed a few times, and he said in a deep voice: "Dare to ask Niangniang, what are those flowers?" ”

"Tang Shinu said that it was very much like the powder of the Soul Breaking Grass." Mu Bi sneered slightly! Said, "This palace has checked this powder for the past two days, and if you don't take it, you won't die, but you are prone to heart palpitations and night sweats, which makes your body weaker and weaker!" Glancing at Cen Ping, "Now that the spring hunt is imminent, you should understand that if Yu Lang is suddenly not good, the palace will definitely not leave him in the palace to drive with him!" ”

Cen Ping didn't dare to slack off, and immediately lifted his robe and knelt down and said, "The slave and maid are incompetent, but the head of the internal department also asked someone to take advantage of the loophole to murder the third prince, and I implore the mother to give the slave and maid a chance to find out about this matter!" ”

"Four days later is the day of the spring hunt, before that, the palace must know the ins and outs." Mu Bi looked at him with a smile, "Speaking of which, Gu Changfu is also very reliable, in the end, he is the person who came out of the palace!" ”

Cen Ping's heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "Niangniang, please rest assured!" Slaves and maids will never be dishonored! But he never mentioned Gu Changfu.

Mu Bi snorted slightly: "Go down!" ”

When Cen Ping left, Ah Shan said: "How much does the girl think he can find out?" ”

"I didn't count on him either." Mu Bi said slightly, "Zikai came that night, and he asked Gao Qi to check." ”

Ah Shan breathed a sigh of relief, of course Nie Yuansheng couldn't be unconcerned about Ji Yu's safety.

Her mind was on the spring hunt, "In the past three years, there have been many newcomers in the palace, and this time the Lu family seems to have been added." ”

"Add it, add it." Mu Biwei said indifferently, "But a royal maid, even if she has the blessing of the Kang family and is a concubine?" Isn't the Kang family also leaning towards the eldest concubine now? ”

Speaking of this, she asked, "Concubine Gao heard that she didn't invite herself to go to this spring hunt?" ”

"Exactly." Ah Shan said, "It is said that because the fourth daughter of the emperor is weak, the eldest concubine can not rest assured of her, the queen mother also persuaded her, saying that the fourth daughter of the emperor can be temporarily sent to the palace of Heyi, but the eldest concubine said that the queen mother has raised the eldest son and the second son of the emperor, and she dare not ask the queen mother to work harder." ”

"She's afraid that Imperial Doctor Ren will work too hard, right?" Mu Biwei smiled sneeringly - the fourth princess's name is Yaoguang, and she has not been titled so far, in the case that the three princesses in the palace are all born and have titles, the fourth princess is now three years old and has not been titled, and she has not even given a name, not that Ji Shen doesn't like this daughter, but that the eldest concubine used the excuse that the fourth son of the emperor was named after the whole week, saying that she was worried about the fourth daughter of the emperor and asked for the fourth daughter to grow up and then be named - in Mu Biwei's opinion, she was frightened by Imperial Doctor Ren, but she was afraid that she would be jealous.

Ah Shan smiled and said: "The big concubine and the little concubine are also ridiculous, Your Majesty obviously prefers the big concubine, the big concubine and the girl have always not wanted Your Majesty to go to Ruiqing Palace at all, the little concubine is said to have admired each other with Qu Jialangjun to the point of death and life, where do you know that after entering the palace, she is wholeheartedly competing for favor, but His Majesty doesn't like her too much......"

"There's nothing strange about that." Mu Bi smiled lightly and said, "The eldest concubine entered the palace for her younger brother, and now that she has a daughter and is worried about keeping her daughter, her identity is different from that of ordinary palace concubines, she is Your Majesty's cousin, and she is a girl from the Gao family, so she is naturally afraid of being involved in the wrestling of the previous dynasty and getting hurt!" Besides, she is now one of the concubines, and she has her biological daughter as a companion, her status is stable, and the future of her biological mother and younger brother is also guaranteed, of course, she is too lazy to fight for her head and blood, and it is serious to live a good life behind closed doors! Little Concubine Gao, who was carefree before, as long as she was on good terms with her lover, after entering the palace, the lover had no hope, and her mother's backer was not needed, she had no children and no daughters, and her position had always been lower than that of the big concubine who had an enmity with her, could she swallow this breath? ”

"The slave maid thinks that the little concubine may not have a little love for His Majesty, after all, in the past, the little concubine provoked the exile of King Gaoyang and the princess, isn't it because she ridiculed King Gaoyang's appearance?" Ah Shan said thoughtfully, "It's a pity that even if you are not afraid of death, not everyone is the queen of Duanming!" ”

"If she wants to love, she can love it." Mu Biwei was not very interested in Concubine Xiaogao, and said with a slight sneer, "Anyway, she was still the Empress Duanming who was still You'e Ying back then, and she was not left to eat in the Jinse Palace, and the skills of the Su family's cooks ...... She was earlier than these newcomers in the palace! ”

But because Ah Shan mentioned the exile of King Gaoyang, and reminded Mu Biwei of what he was really thinking about now, he pondered for a while, and finally ordered: "Make a person, let Yun Mengru come to the palace." ”

Ah Shan's expression tightened: "Girl? ”

"Zikai told me something, Northwest ...... Ni Zhen may have something to do with the snow blue pass back then, but I still have to wait for the reply from the eldest brother. Mu Bi sighed slightly, and said with a heavy heart, "Ask Yun Mengru to enter the palace, first, to tell her some news, and secondly, to ask her about the years she has lived in the northwest, have you noticed these clues." After a pause, she said helplessly, "Actually, it should have been said to Hanxi, but Hanxi's sex. I'm really not at ease! ”
