Actually, Tiling's punishment didn't mean that Wei could escape.

At that time, she was demoted to the Huanyi Bureau, and the incident happened in a hurry, she didn't bother to go to Ma Gonggong for advice, and later mentioned the matter to Wang Dexi, in fact, it was to euphemistically ask Zhao Jiufu behind him for an accurate word.

However, Zhao Jiufu didn't expect that Sun Cainu's matter would involve the queen, nor did he expect that Zhiwei would have the opportunity to return to the palace and serve in front of the palace.

Recently, there was a great victory in northern Xinjiang, the queen's father, General Qin, had just won the battle, and the court was jubilant, Huo Yanzhi naturally would not go to this stall to get along with the queen. But Zhao Jiufu knew that the most noble couple was only afraid that the knot in their hearts would be difficult to solve, and leaving Zhiwei as a person to come down showed that His Majesty was on fire in his heart, and he didn't know when it would break out.

When Zhi Wei came to Zhao Jiufu with a bitter face, he also smiled bitterly.

Look, Your Majesty's liver fire can't be sent to the queen, let alone other girls, so can't it only be sent to their slaves and maids?

"Ahem, since Your Majesty has opened your mouth, you just listen to the order. One yard is one yard, Your Majesty is also selfless. Do you understand? ”

Zhi Wei said: "I naturally understand, but I am just afraid of disturbing His Majesty's purity at night." I'll pay more attention to it these days, and ask my father-in-law to mention more. ”

Zhao Jiufu waved her hand with satisfaction and motioned her to retreat, made a note in his heart, and decided to turn around and ask Yufang to adjust the arrangements for duty in the next few days.

After all, when such a lenient person as His Majesty suddenly took the initiative to mention this matter, he was either too angry, or he clearly did not like Zhiwei, or both. In this case, it is better to let Zhi Wei show up in front of His Majesty, and it can also let this girl rest for a while during the day, which is the best of both worlds.

Putting this matter down, Zhao Jiufu began to ponder His Majesty's thoughts about the master of Shangyang Palace again.

It's strange to say, in the past, His Majesty was the most attentive to that person, but since Yuetou was injured, he has only entered the door of Shangyang Palace once in half a month. Although I haven't been to other palaces much, Shangyang Palace has always been the only one in the palace. Especially after Concubine Shu was diagnosed again and pregnant, His Majesty was overjoyed, even if people don't go every day, all kinds of treasured jewelry and seasonal tributes will never be indispensable to Shangyang Palace, and they will enter Shangyang Palace every one or two days.

Compared with before, His Majesty this month seems to be a lot more rusty and cold. Many concubines in the palace had floating thoughts, and even those under them felt that something was wrong.

Although the palace rules explicitly prohibit speculation about the holy will, everyone knows that this is just an empty word, and if a slave and maid does not dig out his mind to figure out what the master likes and dislikes, how can his actions be consistent with the master's thoughts?

For example, if His Majesty is tired of Concubine Shu because of some kind of secret thoughts, can the people below take the initiative to mention Concubine Shu in the future, should the tone be intimate or unfamiliar and polite when mentioning it, and whether they should continue to show mercy to Concubine Shu in some ambiguous matters (such as the fact that the palace concubine has no intention to trespass into the Qiande Palace to visit the sick)?

As the emperor's former confidant and the chief manager of the Qiande Palace, Zhao Jiufu naturally has his superiority, that is, he can always feel the emperor's pulse in the past few years.

This time, he finally deduced something from some clues, and he was a little complacent, but he was completely overturned by his own majesty's divine stroke.

This also has to talk about the Wen Meiren sleeping a few days ago, and the next day, Concubine Shu met Wen Meiren in the Imperial Garden, and was so angry with the other party that she was angry.

Although Concubine Shu seemed to be the victim in this matter, the imperial doctor looked over and saw that it was actually nothing serious, and it was okay to open a deputy peace prescription. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that with this little trick, such a coincidental time and object, how can you look at it, it seems that Concubine Shu was jealous of Wen Meiren and deliberately did it, right?

If His Majesty is tired of Concubine Shu, or his affection for her has faded, this kind of thing will probably make His Majesty even more disgusted.

However, to Zhao Jiufu's surprise-

When His Majesty heard this, he first frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke to go to the Yang Palace. The most strange thing is that His Majesty did not rush into the dormitory to visit Concubine Shu, but first walked around the peony garden, and when he came out, his solemn face actually eased a lot, and he patiently accompanied the queen to listen to the testimony of both Wen Mei and Concubine Shu again. Then, he went into the room to listen to Concubine Shu's crying, and when she left, it was already full of spring breeze.

This fetal gas incident ended with Wen Meiren apologizing and being punished by the queen for confining and copying scriptures, and Concubine Shu was appeased by rewards from both the emperor and the queen, especially His Majesty's side was even more generous, and all kinds of precious supplements continued to flow into Shangyang Palace.

Zhao Jiufu, who was in charge of His Majesty's private treasury, was very surprised by Concubine Shu's reversal, and was even more curious about what happened in this that he didn't know about.

However, apart from scratching his head in private and thinking hard, and being more respectful to the Shangyang Palace family, Zhao Jiufu had nothing else to do.

Unlike Zhao Jiufu's doubts, Huo Yanzhi at this time can be said to have temporarily put down a matter of his heart, if it weren't for the assassination of King Xin, I'm afraid he wouldn't be angry with Zhiwei's little palace maid.

Thinking of what happened in the peony garden the day before yesterday, he couldn't help but laugh at himself again.

"Sure enough, I thought too much, and there were two corpses buried, which were clearly just cats and birds. It's a shame that I thought of other things at the time, and I really blamed Concubine Shu. As for the compatriot clothes, since it was found that most of them were done by the queen, it is estimated that Lan Ying or someone else did it to hide people's eyes. After all, at that time, Sun Cainu lived in the Phixiang Hall behind Shangyang Palace, and the queen wanted to blame Concubine Shu, which was also very reasonable......

Huo Yanzhi exhaled a turbid breath, quickly put the trivial matters of the harem behind, and began to look at the alternative questions for the palace exam presented by the Ministry of Rites.

"The foundation of the world is in the country, and the foundation of the country is at home...... Reward loyalty...... The way of the whole army of Anguo ......"

He pressed his eyebrows and impatiently tossed the paper aside.

These topics are very stable, if he was a month ago, it is estimated that he would have picked one out at random, but now he feels that these topics are too wide to meet his mind.

Is there a good topic that can be used as an alchemy stone, directly as the first screening for him to cultivate new courtiers as henchmen?

He tugged at the golden pine next to the bookcase with great interest, this was a new pot of old pine trees that had been brought in recently, not only did it sound like an old man, but its mind was much more mature than the pot of evergreen that was now exclusive to him in his dormitory.

Huo Yanzhi tried to get some advice from Huang Jinsong, but the latter was also stunned by his mouthful, and directly pretended to be asleep and refused to pay attention to him, he could only be lonely and lonely alone and coldly flip through the book to find inspiration.

In the quiet spring night, the insects have not yet reached the noisy season, and only the subtle Taiping singing and annunciating sound outside the window from time to time is accompanied by him.

When the master in the Qiande Palace was flipping through the book with candles, the queen in the Kunxu Palace couldn't sleep.

Green Peach is the dowry maid that the queen brought into the palace from home, although there is no smart accident of Aunt Lin, but she still knows seven or eight points about the queen's heart.

Seeing that the queen couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, she quietly leaned over to the bed and said, "Niangniang is worried about the two in Shangyang Palace and the Imperial Palace?" ”

The queen didn't squeak, but she didn't deny it.

Seeing this, Lu Tao explained: "It's just a concubine and a palace maid, and the mother has the support of the master, so what is there to worry about?" The slave said something unpleasant, don't hit me in the mouth. Even if the mother really has no children, no matter which prince ascends the throne one day, he will have to respect you as the Queen Mother, right? Emperor Taizu and Empress Renxiao are so affectionate, but none of the princes born by Empress Renxiao can be raised, which does not delay her old man to live peacefully for more than 20 years after Emperor Taizu's funeral. I heard that the Queen Mother didn't dare to speak loudly in front of her at that time, and she trembled day by day, lest she might anger her and the family behind her. You say, isn't that the truth? ”

The queen was silent for a long time before she responded to Peach's words with a soft sigh.

"Why doesn't this palace understand this truth, it's just that this palace is still so young now, does it really mean to live a lifetime in this posterior position? In case, he gave birth to the emperor's eldest son......"

Green Peach said: "Mother, what the slave just said is only the worst-case scenario, and things have not yet reached this point." Not to mention that the eldest son of the emperor has not yet landed, but he has fallen to the ground, are there still few people in this palace who hate their mother and son? Niangniang, you act fairly, and there is no room for fools in your eyes, but not everyone is the same as Niangniang. ...... then"

The meaning of her sudden pause, the queen suddenly understood.

If she doesn't make a move, it doesn't mean that others won't make a move, as long as she pretends to be confused and lets those self-proclaimed smart snipes fight, can she be an old fisherman?

Seeing that the queen did not object to questioning, Lu Tao said more energetically: "Moreover, the mother is worried about the concubine who is now in the middle of the holy family, and she is worried that the palace maid is not thinking right, why not let them eat the dog and have a headache for each other?" Niangniang is now taking tonics, didn't the doctor say it, the most taboo is depressed. It is the top priority for the mother to conceive the little prince as soon as possible, but you can't spoil your big thing for those little sluts! ”

The queen remembered her mother's instructions when she entered the palace, and she couldn't help but feel a little weak.

"However, the palace maid who didn't get in the oil and salt before, as if she wanted to take the line position of the old lord of Concubine Shu, was not so much now that Zhao Jiufu got to the front of the palace...... Your Majesty's mind is really hard to guess, and the palace is worried that if you do it again at this time, you may provoke Your Majesty's suspicion, and the palace maid may not appreciate it! ”

In the end, the queen's tone was a little unkind, and she obviously still had some resentment about being brushed off in front of her.

Green Peach hurriedly leaned over to help the queen press her head, and waited for her mood to ease before persuading: "Niangniang is just afraid that because she didn't sleep well, her spirit is not good, and she wants to go wrong." We don't have to bring that palace maid over, just let her keep up with the Yang Palace. When she is favored, Concubine Shu doesn't care who she is, and she hates it in her heart. At that time, if there is any trouble about the concubine bullying the new concubine with her high position, our mother, as the master of the six palaces, will naturally come forward to deal with it impartially. What do you say? ”

The queen imagined the scene, and a light smile finally appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Alright, don't press it. Just your horn, you haven't stopped all night, and the noise makes people annoyed. The main palace is tired, so let's sleep. ”

Although the green peach was "disgusted", she smiled very strongly when she went back to lie down.

The next day, Zhiwei, who had just stayed up all night in the Qiande Palace, received a second-class palace maid who had not come for a long time, as well as this season's spring clothes.

The time when she was transferred was unfortunate, it happened to be after the distribution of this season's quota in the palace, and the Huanyi Bureau belonged to the outside of the palace, and it was issued even later. So, unfortunately, she didn't mix in the new palace clothes, so she could only change into last year's old spring and winter clothes, which were either short or thick, and inevitably looked a little indecent.

She is now just a second-class palace person in front of the emperor, where can she urge the needlework bureau to help her make clothes. At this time, the needlework people are probably busy preparing summer shirts for the masters in the palace in advance, and the work of the palace maids and eunuchs can only be postponed.

Zhiwei was mentally ready to wear an old spring dress, but this palace dress came so quickly and in such a timely manner, she couldn't help but think about it a little more.

What's even more big for her is that during the time she made up for the bell punishment in the past few days, Manager Zhao's preferential treatment in the shift seemed to have caused her new trouble.

The others didn't know for the time being, but when the Yuxue girl saw her in the past two days, her face was not as kind as when she first came.
