Chapter 12: The Dispute Between the Two Palaces

"Shangyang Palace?"

Ren is Zhiwei has been up and down in the palace for eight years, and has cultivated a stable kung fu, but she was also shocked by these words.

Concubine Shu wants to transfer her back to Shangyang Palace, why?

It's not like it's true, Concubine Shu misses the old slave, so she gets her over, right?

Zhi Wei saw that the aunt of the Shanggong Bureau in Steward Li's mouth was not there, and glanced at Dianqing, who was looking at her nose and nose, and said boldly: "Steward, I don't understand a little." How could the lady ask me by name? After all, you know what happened back then......"

Steward Li waved his hand very casually: "What does the master think, how do we know?" In short, the lady wants you to go over and serve, and you can go over quickly. Moreover, Concubine Shuniang doesn't just want you, but even Dianqing wants to go over, both of you are good at raising flowers, you have to help each other when you go to Shangyang Palace, don't fall into the reputation of our Siyuan Bureau......"

I couldn't ask anything from Steward Li's mouth, and I was urged to pack some luggage, and immediately went to Shangyang Palace to report, Zhi Wei was in a bad mood.

She is not uncommon with the monthly example of a first-class palace maid!

You must know that she was kicked out of Shangyang Palace at that time, but it was related to Concubine Shu's miscarriage of her first child! At this time, Concubine Shu is pregnant again, wouldn't it be dangerous for her to go back?

It's almost like writing the word "big murderer" on your face!

It just so happened that it was lunch at this time, and the people from the Shanggong Bureau also said that they were busy, and they didn't have time to wait for Zhiwei and Dianqing, and asked Steward Li to let the two go to report before Shen Shi and left.

After lunch, Zhiwei and Dianqing hurriedly packed their luggage back to the house.

However, after a meal, most of the palace people in the Siyuan Bureau heard about it, and the eyes of her and Dian Qing naturally changed again.

Lian Zhu has a good relationship with her, and naturally knows the whole story of her being assigned.

While watching Zhi Wei pack up her things, she asked worriedly, "Zhi Wei, are you really going to Shangyang Palace?" ”

Zhi Wei smiled helplessly: "There are people above, we only have to obey our fate, where do we have to choose whether to go or not?" ”

Lian Zhu frowned and thought about it, and whispered: "I heard that Concubine Shu's temper is not very good, especially after the miscarriage the year before last, she often practices her subordinates, but outsiders don't know." Don't look at me like that, I, I have a fellow villager named Xuemei, and she is assigned to work as a miscellaneous worker in Shangyang Palace. Last time on her birthday, I went to see her, and I happened to see that she was rubbing medicine, otherwise how would I know......"

Zhiwei frowned when she heard this, is Concubine Shu so tyrannical in private?

Back then, when she entered Shangyang Palace, she almost never approached Xiao Jieyu's body at that time, and she didn't know what her temperament was, but she had never heard of such a thing.

But Lianzhu is a human duty, and she never tells right and wrong, and she is so cautious to tell it, it seems that most of them are a little accurate.

Zhi Wei's heart was heavy, and she shook Lianzhu's hand, not knowing what to say.

The two sighed for a long time, and in the end, she forced a smile: "Look at you like this, as if I don't want to be promoted, but to be pushed down the fire pit." Even if it's a tiger's den in Longtan in the palace, I didn't come out alive before, what are you afraid of? At most, at most, at most, you are usually lazy, forcing you to intercede with that Sister Xuemei, and help me for a moment or two? ”

Of course, Lian Zhu is not a lazy person who likes to steal and play tricks, and the two are just fighting and joking, and they don't take it seriously.

"You~ I don't need you to say it, I'll find a chance to see her in a few days. You have to be careful. ”

When the time came, Dianqing took the initiative to come over to find Zhiwei, signaling that he was ready to go.

As soon as the two of them walked out, they said some polite words to Steward Li to thank him for his usual care, and they were about to turn around and leave.

At this moment, a dignified and beautiful green-clothed palace man flashed in.

"Steward Li is here?"

The person who came claimed to be called Green Peach, the palace maid of Kunxu Palace, was ordered by the queen's mother, and specially came here to find Zhiwei to interrogate. And,Very calmly pointed out,The question is related to the day of the flower god festival.。

After saying what she meant, Lu Tao asked, "Where are the two girls going?" ”

Dianqing's lips moved, but she didn't squeak, and Zhiwei turned her head to look at Steward Li.

Steward Li still smiled and said: "That's the case, the aunt of the Shanggong Bureau wants to transfer these two girls to Shangyang Palace to serve, saying that two peonies froze to death in the spring of this year, and the lady concubine is ......distressed."

Green Peach said: "So that's the case, but I haven't heard of it...... In this case, this one will go to Shangyang Palace first, and Miss Zhiwei will go with me. ”

Zhi Wei's heart skipped another beat.

Steward Li is a confused person, but how can she not hear the meaning of Green Peach's words?

It stands to reason that the queen is in charge of all matters in the harem, which naturally includes the deployment of manpower in each palace.

Now Concubine Shu suddenly named someone from the Siyuan Bureau, and when she heard this, she seemed to have bypassed the queen and directly found the Shanggong Bureau. And the Shanggong Bureau seems to have dutifully run errands for Concubine Shu, and I don't know if I have reported it to Kunxu Palace......

It's just that the reason why the aunt of the Shanggong Bureau didn't stay and wait for them, but let them go to Shangyang Palace to report on their own, seems to be just a reason to shirk?

Before leaving with Lu Tao, Zhiwei suddenly saw Aunt Qing with a sad face out of the corner of her eyes.

She seemed to hesitate a little, hesitated for a while, but still walked up to Dianqing, and said in a hard tone: "You are small and careless, and you don't know the road in the palace, I'll send you back." ”

Dian Qing, who was still curious about watching the conversation between Green Peach and Zhiwei, was stunned, and soon burst into a bright smile.

"Yes! Thank you Auntie! ”

Zhi Wei looked at it coldly, and Aunt Qing's expression seemed to be even more helpless.

"Let's go."

Zhi Wei sighed in her heart.

Aunt Qing has a special status in the Siyuan Bureau, and she usually doesn't like to deal with people very much, so she only treats this little little Qing differently. Now that Dian Qing has gone to Shangyang Palace, he still doesn't know what the future holds, and it's no wonder that Aunt Qing is worried that she will follow and send people over!

Within the cold palace walls, it is really lucky that someone can really worry about themselves!

Shangyang Palace.

Dianqing followed Aunt Qing all the way, and when no one was around, she quietly asked Aunt Qing about Concubine Qing, and occasionally when someone passed by, she honestly lowered her head.

When she arrived at the palace gate, Aunt Qing sighed slightly.

"Okay, I have to say goodbye to you for a thousand miles, I should go back, you can go in too. Remember, when you get to the new master, do more and talk less! It is better to think of yourself as blind, deaf, and dumb than to be able-bodied. Do you understand? ”

Dianqing seemed to understand whether he understood, and after seeing Aunt Qing leave, he squeezed out a timid smile.

"Father-in-law, I'm from the Siyuan Bureau, and the aunt of the Shanggong Bureau said to transfer me to Shangyang Palace......"

The little eunuch guarding the door had already been instructed, looked at her twice, and took her in.

"You wait here first, I'll go in and tell Sister Erqiao."

Dian Qing nodded obediently: "I'm tired of my father-in-law." ”

She has an ordinary appearance and bad luck, as soon as she entered the palace, she was assigned to the Siyuan Bureau, so she has not entered a serious palace, let alone a luxurious and elegant concubine bedroom like Shangyang Palace.

She still remembered Aunt Qing's entrustment, and she only glanced at it and then lowered her head again.

I don't know how long I've been waiting, but finally someone came.

Er Qiao frowned and asked, "Why are you the only one?" What about Zhiwei? Why, doesn't she want to come back? ”

Dian Qing felt a thrill in his heart, and hurriedly replied in a low voice: "Zhiwei was called by the queen's mother, it seems that it was because of the incident at the flower god sacrifice yesterday......"

Kunxu Palace.

The queen sat upright and looked coldly at Zhiwei, who was giving herself a big gift.

The appearance is good, the figure is okay, it looks like a straight girl, and it is not a person who is not a person with such a bewitching little thing.

The queen's face softened, and she motioned for Aunt Lin to speak up.

Aunt Lin followed the plan agreed upon by the master and servant, and pretended to ask about yesterday's flower god sacrifice again.

Zhi Wei answered honestly, and her rhetoric was basically the same as yesterday, and there was no difference.

The queen nodded again in her heart, sure enough, she was not wrong yesterday, this Zhiwei is a smart person with clear logic and organization. If you can bring her over, you can send her to do things for herself in the future, and you don't have to worry about following her every day to clean up the mess for her.

She took a sip of tea and said coldly: "I heard that Concubine Shu asked you to come over to serve, but the two of you have a deep love for master and servant." ”

Zhi Wei said: "Back to the queen's mother, the slave has actually only seen the lady concubine two or three times, and she doesn't dare to be cheeky and cling to the lady like this......"

Lu Tao raised her eyebrows and sneered: "Sure enough, I am used to being wild in the Siyuan Bureau, and I dare to be so presumptuous in front of my mother!" ”

Zhi Wei didn't squeak, as if she hadn't heard someone pointing at her nose and scolding her for being rude.

The queen just didn't hear what her henchmen said.

Speaking of which, there are many flowers and plants in the Shangyang Palace of the Concubine Shu, and the garden is exquisite and chic, which really makes the palace a little envious. This Kunxu Palace is big, and it is a little empty in the end. The palace is busy with palace affairs on weekdays, so naturally there is not as much leisure as the concubine here. If you can have a good flower waiter like you, it will be a good thing to take care of the good students of this palace! ”

Green Peach's eyes flashed, as if she had guessed something, and the gaze that stared at Zhiwei's back almost pierced her into a sieve.

Aunt Lin answered: "Miss Zhiwei, the queen takes a fancy to your craftsmanship, this is very decent. Could it be that you still miss the old master and want to go to Shangyang Palace to serve? ”

Zhi Wei's shoulders trembled almost invisibly, but quickly stabilized again.

"Thanks to the good intentions of the mother, the slave and maid naturally dare not live up to it. It's just that the aunt of the Shanggong Bureau said that she wanted the slave to report to Shangyang Palace today......"

The queen sneered: "Shanggong Bureau? The palace is in charge of the phoenix seal and controls all the affairs of the harem, a little aunt of the Shanggong Bureau, does she dare to rob people with the palace? ”

Zhiwei bit her lip and was silent.

Aunt Lin gave a look, and Green Peach turned to the queen angrily and spoke as if she was coquettish.

"Niangniang was sick for a few days during the New Year's Day, and now the minds of these people in the Shanggong Bureau are floating, looking at everyone who is blind and deaf! Niangniang, it just so happens that there are clues about the Flower God Sacrifice, and the Shanggong Bureau and the Siyuan Bureau are inseparable, so why don't you simply call Fang Shanggong over today and make it clear together? ”

The queen nodded in satisfaction, and saw a slight rise and fall on Zhiwei's stiff back, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled up at a mocking angle.
