The news that Lin Zhimeng had a headache naturally spread to Ying Yunxuan quickly, and at this time, Tian Yao had just changed her clothes and lay down to rest, and when she heard that Lin Zhimeng had a headache, she lifted the quilt and was about to get up.

Seeing this, Hongyu hurriedly stopped her and said, "Niangniang, you can give the slave maid a snack!" That Lin Guifei is really not a good person! ”

She can see it clearly now, that Concubine Lin is completely using their virtuous concubines as guns! Good guy, if it weren't for the queen's mother who stopped the saint today, they would have followed suit.

After hearing Hongyu's words, Tian Yao frowned unhappily and said, "Aunt Hongyu! Why do you have to get along with Sister Lin every time! ”

After the last palace banquet, Hongyu also said bad things about Lin Zhimeng, but she was also relatively tactful. This time, she bluntly said that Lin Guifei was not a good person, and Tian Yao was naturally angry.

Hongyu saw that there was no one around, so she decided to talk to Tian Yao with her heart, so that at least she would not be overwhelmed in the future.

So I saw her fall to the ground with a puff and said, "Even if the slave and maid are risking a big disapproval today, you have to talk to the mother." If Niangniang is thinking of the old lady and young master and young lady outside the palace, and the palace maid and eunuch who are waiting for you in Yingyunxuan, please ask Niangniang to at least listen to the slave and maid say a few words! ”

She said and kowtowed heavily to the floor, not only knocking herself unconscious, but even Tian Yao was startled by the crisp sound.

Tian Yao was stunned and quickly got up and picked up Hongyu: "Aunt Hongyu, what are you doing here?" You remembered the old relationship with your mother, so you didn't follow Concubine De to Tongzhou to enjoy Qingfu, but turned around to serve me, but I can't be grateful! Okay, okay, you talk to yourself, I'll listen. ”

Hongyu was originally the concubine of a small official family in Kyoto, and when she was a girl, she was favored by Mrs. Tian. After that, Hongyu entered the palace as a palace maid, walked up step by step, and became one of the four palace maids beside Concubine De back then.

Later, Concubine De was named Concubine De, and the people who served in her palace followed Concubine De to Tongzhou except for those who were released from the palace. Only Hongyu stayed under the request of Mrs. Tian and entered Yingyunxuan to take care of Tian Yao.

Tian Yao sat down at the carved round table with Hongyu in her arms, and personally poured a cup of tea for Hongyu and served it to her.

Hongyu put down the cup and said earnestly to Tian Yao: "Niangniang, the slave maid really didn't deliberately get along with Concubine Lin Guifei, it's just that she looked gentle and gentle, but she was actually not a tolerant and kind person, she only chose to be a good person when there was no conflict of interest!" ”

"Besides, how can someone who can be a stable concubine in this deep palace be a simple character? You've seen it these days, and anyone who has no means is either dead or pulled out to take the blame! Do you think Li Jieyu was really assassinated by Hu Jieyu? If Hu Jieyu had that ability, how could even Li Jieyu intercept her brand? ”

Regarding the death of Li Jieyu a while ago, it was said for a while that the dagger was in the queen's palace, and the queen was the culprit; After a while, it was said that Lin Guifei framed the queen and bought off the maidservants in the queen's palace to steal the dagger; As a result, it was said that Kang Guifei framed Lin Guifei after a while...... And in the end, going around and around turned into Hu Jieyu's revenge!

Although many people have accepted this statement, after all, Hu Jieyu and Li Jieyu do have a lot of contradictions and grievances. But Hongyu had been in the palace for so long, and she understood that there must be something wrong with such twists and turns, so she didn't believe this set of arguments.

Tian Yaocai didn't care who was the culprit in Li Jieyu's death, anyway, she didn't believe that Lin Zhimeng would harm people, so she defended: "Sister Lin will not harm Li Jieyu, and she became a concubine because of the relationship between the Lin family, and the saint is to give face to the Lin family, not by her own means." ”

Hongyu sighed when she heard this: "That's right, the saint does value the Lin family, but doesn't the saint also value the Li family, so he favors Li Jieyu so much?" What's the use of that? Isn't Li Jieyu still Xiang Xiaoyu dead? In the final analysis, in this harem, the power of the family can only be regarded as a ladder to the stage, and the person who has come to power has to rely on his own ability to stand firm! ”

When she saw that Tian Yao was wearing a single dress, she got up from the round stool and helped Tian Yao to the collapse, pulled the quilt over her, and handed her a soft pillow to sit on.

"According to what my aunt said, the queen should be more powerful than Sister Lin." Tian Yao said with a flat mouth.

Hongyu smiled and said, "If the mother can use this clever energy to really think about the affairs of the court, the slave and maid will not be worried." ”

She grabbed a lotus color printing hand stove from the side and handed it to Tian Yao to cover, and then continued: "Niangniang's words are not wrong, the queen is really powerful, otherwise she would not have changed the meaning of the saint in three or two sentences." In fact, to put it mildly, the ancestor of the Yi family was just a merchant, and the queen's grandfather, Mrs. Yi, was just a spice shop, where did he get his background? But the saint still chose the daughter of the Yi family as the lord of the six palaces. This can only show that this queen is the one to be chosen by the saint! It's not that Yi Xiangxiang grabbed someone's seat! ”

"Niangniang, think about it, if it is really as the two palace maids said, the saint likes twin sisters, but the Yi family forcibly stuffs his daughter to the saint, then how can the Yi family still win the favor of the saint later? That's right, the Yi family relied on their skills in saving the driver, but they joined the Jiang family, didn't that little Jiang also have a meritorious role in saving the driver? The Jiang family is also in-law with the Changping Hou family, so how can the Yi family recover faster than the Jiang family? ”

Tian Yao understood at this time: "What does my aunt mean?" Originally, the saint was meant to be Yi Xiangxiang? But why? ”

Hongyu shook her head and said, "The slave doesn't know why, but no one will believe the words of Yancao and Xuemei, that is, you are sincere." Threat? Who can threaten the Holy One? Mother, you are still too naïve! ”

She sighed and continued: "The reason why the slave said that Concubine Lin was powerful was because the family sent her daughter into the palace, and her hand couldn't reach in. Otherwise, the old man would not have been able to help you seek justice at the palace banquet in a big way, because there was no other way! If you think about it carefully, the queen was rumored to be deposed a while ago, is the Yi family also helpless? ”

"When Li Jieyu was victimized, because of the relationship with the dagger, even if it was the queen chosen by the saint himself, he grounded the queen. Later, it was found out that Lin Guifei and Kang Guifei also seemed to have something to do with Li Jieyu's death, although Hu Jieyu seemed to be guilty, but later even Kang Guifei was detained by the Empress Dowager Xiao'an to chant scriptures and worship the Buddha, but Lin Guifei was not punished in any way. Even inside and outside the palace, it is said that Concubine Lin will ascend to the throne, do you think this is a coincidence? ”

Tian Yao listened to Hongyu's words, and turned around slowly: "What does Aunt Hongyu mean...... The rumor was it released by Sister Lin? But I also think that Sister Lin is more suitable to be a queen, she is dignified and generous, and she is kind and tolerant! It's not like that Yi Xiangxiang, so tyrannical! ”

Thinking of Yi Xiangxiang's sentence "Raise your head to see you", Tian Yao felt a chill down her spine.

Hongyu felt that she couldn't figure it out for a while, so she naturally sat on the footstool on the side of the collapse and said: "We don't care if it's the wind released by Lin Guifei for the time being, but she is the only one who retreats and has a good reputation!" It can be seen that its means are mindful! And if Concubine Lin Guifei was really benevolent, why didn't she stop her master when she scolded the queen, but only won sympathy in front of the saint afterwards? And to make you grateful to her again? ”

At the banquet in Changchun Palace just now, when Hongyu heard Tian Yao speak like that, she really hoped that Lin Zhimeng could stand up and stop her, but unfortunately she didn't.

At that moment, she understood that Lin Zhimeng was going to use Tian Yao today to make Yi Xiangxiang lose face. If you want to talk about it in detail, in order to let Yi Xiangxiang lose face by being scolded, Lin Zhimeng didn't care about how Tian Yao ended up afterwards, and didn't care about her life or death.

Tian Yao asked with some hesitation and disbelief: "Sister Lin...... Didn't Sister Lin speak for me later? But on purpose? ”

Hongyu nodded, and continued to say earnestly: "If she really helped you, she shouldn't have let you say those words that insulted the queen in the first place. Look at the concubine of Mengxin Pavilion in Zhongcui Palace, she has low self-esteem because of her status as a concubine, but she doesn't recognize herself as inferior, she has used arrogance to cover herself since she entered the palace, and she doesn't take Concubine Ning very seriously in her behavior. But every time she talks to her concubine and doesn't pay attention to proportion, Concubine Ning drinks and makes her stop, which is really good for her! ”

"But what about Concubine Lin? Every time, let the master charge into battle and say the words that she wants to tell others but can't say in person! She's harboring evil intentions and using you! ”

Tian Yao was still frowning, she still couldn't accept Hongyu's words, but she felt that Hongyu seemed to have some truth in what she said.

Hongyu saw that Tian Yao's face was already entangled, and hurriedly continued: "Why do you spend money for the twin sisters of the Yi family today? Isn't it because I saw the poems written by Lin Guifei two days ago? But if you don't know that Concubine Lin Guifei has been thinking about the saint for a long time, how can you have a disagreement because the Yi family sisters went to the queen? ”

After hearing this, Tian Yao recalled that two days ago, she went to Lin Zhimeng to talk to her. And because no one reported it, he traveled all the way to Lin Zhimeng's inner hall and saw some poems written by Lin Zhimeng on the desk.

Thoughts are pulled back to two days ago.

"The mountains have trees and branches, and the heart is happy." Tian Yao picked up the rice paper with poems written in his hand and read.

When Lin Zhimeng came in, she saw Tian Yao breaking through her privacy, and her face turned red as soon as she burst out, and she hurriedly snatched the rice paper.

Seeing this, Tian Yao laughed and said: "Why should my sister be nervous, my sister already knew that you loved the Holy Lord, otherwise, with your identity as the lady of the sky, how could you enter the Seven Princes' Mansion as a side concubine?" Don't be shy, sister! To be honest, I also like the saint, he looks much better than the sons and brothers of other princes and nobles, but he always has a cold face, which makes people weirdly scared! ”

Lin Zhimeng nodded Tian Yao's forehead when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, who in this palace doesn't miss the saint?" But only you are thick-skinned and not ashamed to say it. ”

"That's my sister, you're thin-skinned, and you said that everyone in the harem misses the saint, so what's not to read about this poem!" She said as she sat down in the circle chairs on the sides of the rosewood desk.

And at this time, He Qing, who was serving tea, interjected when he heard this: "The virtuous concubine Niangniang is right, our noble concubine Niangniang is thin-skinned!" The slave maid heard Sister Xiangqiao say that the concubine fell in love with the saint at first sight! ”

Tian Yao asked Lin Zhimeng in surprise when she heard this: "So my sister and Shengshang have long been familiar with each other?" ”

Lin Zhimeng shook her head and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, it's just that there have been several encounters at the palace banquet, and you can't say that you are familiar with each other." ”

After He Qing put down the tea, he sighed and continued: "Anyway, even if you don't know each other, Niangniang has still become a holy concubine." And if there is no Miss Yi Jiaba, the mother should be the queen! ”

She pursed her lips, with an expression of disdain for the queen, and her eyes were full of disdain.

"Heqing, don't talk nonsense!" Lin Zhimeng immediately drank Heqing.

"How can the slave and maid talk nonsense, the first emperor originally wanted to let you be the concubine, but the saint said that he already had a favorite person, so that Niangniang Qu became a side concubine. Not to mention anything else, how can the saint's favorite person not be the queen's mother, right? She looks ......" He Qing paused, put the meaning there, and then said: "The slave maid thinks that the queen must have grasped the handle of the saint to sit on the queen's seat." It's a pity that your infatuation is empty. ”

Lin Zhimeng was about to scold He Qing, but was stopped by Tian Yao.

Tian Yao was already unhappy with Yi Xiangxiang, and what He Qing said was right in her heart, so she asked: "I also think she is not worthy, but does the saint really have a favorite person?" She asked He Qing.

He Qing shook his head while holding the tea tray and said, "I don't know, but whether it is identity or talent, who can compare with our concubine?" How can you be talentless and virtuous...... Ascended to the back seat? It can be seen that it must have played a trick! Maybe it's a threat to the Holy Being! ”

"She's used to being shameless, and it's possible to use a scheme to threaten the saint!" Tian Yao said angrily.

"Not really! Not to mention that the woman who is loved by the saint is pitiful, let's just say that our mother has become a side concubine, and I don't know how many white eyes we have suffered! Many people secretly say that our mother is willing to be a concubine, which is simply shameless and cheap! He Qing was also indignant.

Tian Yao asked Lin Zhimeng in surprise when she heard this: "Sister, is this really the case?" ”

Lin Zhimeng replied unusually calmly: "It's all over." ”

Although her tone was calm, Tian Yao still felt angry in her heart.

......

Thinking back to the present, Tian Yao was indeed shaken, she knew that Hongyu was right, if it wasn't for this incident two days ago, she would indeed not help the Yi sisters to choke the queen.

She just felt that Yi Xiangxiang had made a plan, and the rhetoric of Yancao and Jimei indirectly confirmed what He Qing said that day, which reminded her that Lin Zhimeng was gossiped about because of her status as a side concubine, so she didn't care about it at the banquet today.

Hongyu saw that Tian Yao had begun to doubt, so she continued: "He Qing is Lin Guifei's person, how could she tell others that her mother is willing to be cheap? It can be seen that the master and servant have been reconciled, that is, to make the master angry. You respect Concubine Lin so much, and the queen won her at the palace banquet before and made her lose face, now you heard that the concubine was criticized because of her status as a side concubine, then your heart is naturally even more angry! Is it because you heard the words of Yancao and Xuemei, and were led out by Yang Meiren at the palace banquet, didn't you can't help but conflict with the queen again? ”

What she said completely fell into what Tian Yao had just thought.

Hongyu immediately said again: "Besides, how could Yancao and Xuemei gossip on the palace road so coincidentally?" Obviously, it's also arranged! ”

Even though the facts were in front of her, the balance in Tian Yao's heart was still a little wavering, she was reluctant to accept this fact, and argued: "But Yancao and Xuemei are both from Concubine Hui's Palace, so they don't necessarily have to help Sister Lin...... Concubine Lin will calculate me together, right? ”

Hongyu snorted coldly when she heard this: "Heh! It's just two third-class palace maids! Concubine Hui doesn't reuse them, and it's not strange that they climb another high branch. ”

Tian Yao could only grasp the last straw when he heard this: "But the two young ladies of the Yi family didn't deny it?" Perhaps, maybe the Holy One has been taken care of? ”

Although she said this, now she also understands that Hongyu was right just now, who in the former harem can threaten the saint?

"Eh, my mother, who's going to admit it? What a glorious thing it is to be favored by the Holy One, and why should we admit it? ”

Well, Tian Yao also understands this truth, after all, when Li Jieyu was favored, she was also envious.

Tian Yao was a little puzzled, to be precise, she still didn't want to accept that Sister Lin, whom she had always admired, was actually a bad person and had been using her.

She was confused.

Hongyu stood up and walked to the carved round table, poured a glass of water for Tian Yao, brought it over and continued: "Niangniang, you should have a score in your heart, there are really no friends in this palace, only allies. When the slave maid used to serve in Concubine De's palace, Concubine De and Concubine Shu's mother had already made trouble to the point of poisoning, but they could still shake hands and deal with the Mo family together. The phrase that there is no eternal enemy also exposes the fact that there are no eternal friends. ”

She handed the water to Tian Yao: "Don't look at the concubine with a hammer and a mallet in the west, but she recognized the queen as her backer, even if the queen didn't say anything, everyone tacitly accepted that she was from the queen's camp." But what about you? Everyone also knows that you and Lin Guifei are good friends, but Lin Guifei put on a look of not fighting or grabbing, and what you say and do is like a clown jumping off the beam. ”

"The slave and maid have said so much, so I will go beyond the norm and say a few more words, if the queen hadn't stopped the saint today, you, the virtuous concubine, would have moved to the cold palace!"

"When the time comes, others will only say that it is the queen who suppressed Lin Guifei, first punished the concubine Lin Zhixin, and then sent you to the cold palace. The queen's reputation has been damaged, you have no one in the cold palace, and the last beneficiary to win sympathy is still her, Concubine Lin! ”

Tian Yao was also a little afraid when he heard Hongyu talk about this, and the Holy Golden Mouth said that if his deposed words had not been cut off by the queen, he might not have been so easy to pass today.

When the time comes, don't say it's yourself, maybe the parents of the Tian family won't be able to raise their heads.

"Actually, I was grateful to the queen at the time, I didn't expect her to help me speak." Tian Yao held the cup in his hand and said sullenly.

Hongyu was a little relieved when she heard this, because she could see that Tian Yao really listened to it this time, she patted the quilt and reassured:

"Although the queen mother is not necessarily here to help you, after all, she also knows that if she punishes you, her jealous hat will be fastened. But although she didn't completely help you, Lin Guifei's actions were definitely not good for you! Think about it, you just had a good impression of the queen, and Concubine Lin pulled you to kneel down to accompany the crime when she left, causing you to hold a grudge against the queen again, right? ”

At that time, Tian Yao was indeed a little grateful to the queen for intercepting her words in front of the saint, but when Sister Lin knelt down with her grievances to make amends, she really felt that the queen was hateful again, so she could only nod in shame at this time.

Seeing this, Hongyu sighed: "If you talk about controlling people's hearts, no one can compare to this noble concubine." ”

"But Sister Lin used to ...... It doesn't seem to be like this......" Tian Yao's mood was a little low.

Hongyu asked Tian Yao to drink the water in the cup, and then she took the cup and put it back on the round table, and said as she moved: "How was Concubine Lin before, the slave maid doesn't know. However, even if she is a side concubine, she is willing to enter the Seven Princes' Mansion, which shows that she is mentally tough, and she really loves the saint. ”

When Hongyu was serving in Concubine De's palace, she naturally knew that the four princes also had an imperative heart for the throne. At that time, all the princes had advantages, and the second prince and the fourth prince also threw olive branches to the Lin family. But even so, I still heard that Lin Zhimeng was interested in Zhao Ziqian, the seventh prince, and Hongyu also learned about this from Concubine De.

Because of knowing this inside story, Hongyu felt even more that Lin Zhimeng must be in love with the saint, otherwise with her cleverness, she should have a way to refuse to become a side concubine, as long as she didn't choose the Seventh Prince. Concubine De even saw Lin Zhimeng in private, as long as Lin Zhi Monroe was a little interesting, Concubine De and the four princes would also turn around for her with the first emperor, but she still entered the Seven Princes' Mansion with a mocking voice.

In the deep walls of this palace, a woman who loves power is never as terrible as a woman who loves the King of God.
