The master and servant in Yingyun Xuan chatted with Lin Zhimeng thoroughly, and if Yi Xiangxiang was here, she would inevitably lead Hongyu as a confidant.

There are many smart people in this harem, but it is extremely rare to have someone who understands.

Of course, Yi Xiangxiang, who was sleeping in Changchun Palace at this time, didn't know about it. And Lin Zhimeng, who has a headache, doesn't know that her little fans have gone further and further on the road of de-fanning.

There are even signs of pink turning black.

Lin Zhimeng's headache was caused since childhood, and there was no specific time of onset. After entering the palace, I also had so many seizures, but this time it was actually a shorter time of pain.

The imperial doctor gave their Lin Guifei acupuncture on her head, and after receiving the needle, he instructed the medicine boy to go to the Tai Hospital to get the medicine, and then left Lin Zhimeng after explaining how to decoction.

Lin Zhimeng, who was relieved, sat on the concubine's floor, she turned her head and asked, "Yang Zhihua is gone?" ”

Xiangqiao heard the words and jogged over, her injuries were not yet complete, and her movements were a little slow: "Just now when Niangniang had a headache, she left, Niangniang rest assured, she walked through the back door, and no one should see it." ”

Lin Zhimeng nodded when she heard this, and then asked, "Who came to find out the news during this period?" ”

"The queen sent the palace maid Xiaodan to greet her, and then Concubine Kang Guifei, Concubine Hui and Concubine Ning also came, but they were all greetings, but they didn't ask anything." Xiangqiao replied softly, as if she was afraid of making a noise to Lin Zhimeng.

Lin Zhimeng smiled, gentle and cold, she whispered: "Everyone wants me to fight with the queen to the death." ”

Xiangqiao naturally knew what Lin Zhimeng meant, and she said: "Niangniang is right, they don't want to ask much on the surface. But I also thought in my heart that the virtuous concubine scolded the queen at the banquet today, and you had a headache as soon as you came back, and you deliberately couldn't get along with the queen. ”

"It doesn't matter, I don't care what they think. Now under the queen in the palace are me and Kang Ling, no matter what you do, you will leave a handle. Whether it's true or not, let them judge for themselves. ”

Lin Zhimeng was indifferent, she was not worried that others would think that she had a conflict with the queen, what she wanted was a contradiction, and it was best to have a contradiction caused by the queen's constant embarrassment of her.

The weak are more likely to win sympathy.

Xiang Qiao sighed when she heard this: "Niangniang really shouldn't have chosen the saint in the first place." ”

If you didn't do this concubine, why bother so much planning.

Lin Zhimeng was still smiling: "Xiangqiao, do you know? If I had to do it all over again, I would still choose to enter the Seven Princes' Mansion. He is the pride of heaven, and only he is worthy of me. ”

"It's just that I originally thought that it didn't matter if I was a queen or not, as long as I was the most important person to him. But Yang Zhihua is right, the reason why I didn't think it was important before was because I always felt in my heart that that position was mine. ”

"So once the spot was no longer vacant, I realized that I actually cared! I must be the most important person, in his heart, and in his identity. ”

"I can't stand him standing side by side with other women."

Regarding Yang Zhihua's accusation just now, Lin Zhimeng did not deny it. In the past, when there was no emotional conflict, she was willing to be tolerant and willing to be a good person. But now the predecessor is that before being this good person, she can't be allowed to risk losing him a little.

Yang Zhihua is right, she is not so kind, and her jealousy is heavier.

So she quickly accepted the fact that her father raised an outer room and had an illegitimate daughter, and also accepted the fact that her father arranged for Yang Zhihua to enter the palace to help her.

She will not admit that she is weak, and she will not accept the help arranged by her father because of arrogance and self-esteem. As long as you can compete with him in the end, it doesn't matter what method you use to go up, it is good to stand by his side with his head held high at the end.

Xiangqiao accompanied Lin Zhimeng to come together, naturally knowing the obsession in her heart, and only sighed when she heard the words.

Lin Zhimeng smiled when she saw this, stretched out her hand to let Xiangqiao come over and sit on the edge of the collapse, and continued to ask, "The Holy Lord is still in the Queen's Palace?" ”

"Well, I heard that the people who are waiting have withdrawn from the inner sanctum, so it should be a lunch break." Xiangqiao listened to the order and sat down on the edge of the collapse.

"Lunch break? Then the smile pill from Changchun Palace came over, but it was not arranged by the queen? Lin Zhimeng frowned slightly.

Xiangqiao shook her head and said, "I guess not, it should be Qingxuan who heard the news and sent Xiaodan over, but it is estimated that he did not disturb the people inside." ”

Lin Zhimeng nodded, which can also explain why Zhao Ziqian didn't send someone over to visit.

Seeing this, Xiangqiao asked again: "It is rumored inside and outside the palace that the emperor and queen are deeply in love, if Niangniang wants to bring down the queen, it may not be enough to rely on Yang Meiren alone, should I pull more alliances?" ”

Lin Zhimeng was amused when she heard this: "How can there be a real alliance in this palace?" Everyone is trying to find a way to climb up! Even Yang Zhihua must have her own thoughts. Forget it, it's easy to capsize when there are too many people, and besides, the queen is not only our enemy. ”

"But the master has already taught Yang Meiren's mother to her mother, it stands to reason that Yang Meiren will not care about her mother's life or death, right?" Xiangqiao heard that Yang Meiren had the possibility of rebellion, and she was a little worried.

Lin Chong sent Yang Zhihua in, which was to help Yang Zhihua's weakness Yang and threaten it. And Lin Zhimeng's request was to hold this weakness in her hands. is the small courtyard where the Yang family lives outside the palace now, and the people who serve Lin Zhimeng inside and outside are all people.

"Well, so don't worry too much, I'm just assuming. Besides, even if Yang Zhihua doesn't care about the Yang family, her own identity is Man'er, the maid of the prince of Xiaodongguo, and with this identity, she can't climb high in the harem of the Li Dynasty. Lin Zhimeng said softly.

Xiangqiao understood: "Oh, the saint will not let a woman from another country ascend to a high position, if Yang Meiren wants to sit back and relax in the harem, she can only rely on you to ascend to a high position." ”

Lin Zhimeng was very happy that Xiang Qiao could see through it at a glance: "Well, except for Yang Zhihua in the palace now, everyone else has a family background, and they are not so easy to control." ”

Lin Zhimeng didn't want to end up making a wedding dress for her.

Xiangqiao understood the key and no longer suggested expanding the alliance.

"You rest for two more days, come back quickly, now I only have you to trust." Lin Zhimeng smiled bitterly.

Even his respected father is a wolf in sheep's clothing, and Lin Zhimeng is really walking on thin ice now.

"What did the mother find?" Xiangqiao asked.

In addition to the fact that she is a big palace maid, Chongren Palace has to use Qiaosui, Suihe, and Heqing, and it stands to reason that Niangniang should not be unavailable. Xiangqiao wondered.

Lin Zhimeng shook her head: "There is nothing abnormal, but Suihe and Heqing are both assigned by the Shanggong Bureau after all, it is difficult to say whether they have been bought by anyone before, although I am also reusing them, but it is still a little more preventive." In addition, you should also watch the people below, don't make the same mistake as Concubine Hui. ”

The third-class palace maids Yan Cao and Xue Mei in Concubine Hui's palace were bought by her, so she said those words on the palace road, which aroused Tian Yao's anger.

Xiangqiao has also matured a lot after being punished, and she also knows the severity at this time: "Don't worry, the slave will pay attention." However, although Suihe and Heqing still need to be taught, Qiaosui has followed Niangniang since Qiandi, so there should be no problem. ”

Lin Zhimeng nodded when she heard this, the people in the submersible mansion should be safer.

"I want to rest for a while, you can also go and rest, let Qiaosui come and wait. Take good care of your injuries, and you must drink the tonic soup you sent. ”

treats Xiangqiao, Lin Zhimeng is still the good master.

After Xiang Qiao said it, she helped Lin Zhimeng to lie down, and then retreated.

......

Yi Xiangxiang's sentence at the banquet "Raise your head to see" was widely spread inside and outside the palace, although the Empress Dowager Xiao'an had a lot of complaints about it, but seeing that the harem seemed to be really happy because of this shock, she didn't feel embarrassed Yi Xiangxiang.

Time flies like water, and in a blink of an eye, the first month of the year enters spring, and the ladies in each palace are wearing spring shirts and wandering in the harem. Yi Xiangxiang has always had a hobby of appreciating beauty, and when she saw this, she even rewarded her clothes and jewelry like those who didn't want money, but she didn't expect to receive a lot of praise.

The queen's generous and tolerant evaluation spread inside and outside the palace, coupled with the brilliant performance at the palace banquet a year ago, Yi Xiangxiang's good reputation spread in an instant.

The Yi family's big house has also risen in face because of this, not only is his son a champion, but even his daughter is also a person with both ability and political integrity, and there are many people who want to marry the Yi family generously for a while.

It's just a pity that the only people in the Yi family are of the right age now, the sixth Miss Yi Ruojiao and the seventh Miss Yi Ruofan in the second room, and they are still concubines, which makes countless people feel embarrassed.

Of course, the Sheng family, who married Yi Ruofu, was praised for their discernment, and even Mrs. Duan in the Winning State Mansion praised Mrs. Jiaosheng for her discernment.

Things outside the palace are actually a bit invisible and untouchable for Yi Xiangxiang, a person in the inner palace, and now she can only look at these happy things and beauties in the palace, as well as the flowers blooming in the imperial garden.

The Imperial Garden in spring is indeed full of flowers, beautiful people, and beautiful flowers. And the most delicate one is Yang Meiren of the Drunken Cloud Pavilion of Yikun Palace.

Just like Li Jieyu, who was favored last year, after Zhao Ziqian stayed in Zuiyun Hall for ten consecutive days, Yang Meiren has become the favorite concubine in the harem of the Li Dynasty today.

At this time, in the Changchun Palace, Yi Xiangxiang and Su Jingxiang were playing wine tasting. Since the first time they had been cooking wine and playing chess in the winter, they had been tasting wine every time they played chess since then.

"Niangniang, this wine is new, right? That's great! Not only is the wine fresh and fresh, but also soft and sweet in the mouth, what is the name of this wine? Su Jingxiang rolled up her sleeves and took a sip of the green jade cup, and then asked.

Yi Xiangxiang also picked up the cup, but she drank it all, and after drinking, she said: "Concubine Ning is quite knowledgeable, this is last year's peach blossom brew." In the winter, I hid the Qingxuan Cellar in the snow, and now I take it out and drink it in the spring, which is not strong or light, just right! ”

Su Jingxiang looked at Yi Xiangxiang's pride, and jokingly teased her: "No wonder the people in the palace say that no matter how tempting the food made by Concubine Lin is herself, it can't compare to a glass of water and wine in Changchun Palace." ”

Lin Guifei, who washes her hands and makes soup, VS the queen who will never go into the kitchen but can write recipes, although the former has a heart, the latter is a novelty.

Since entering the palace, Yi Xiangxiang, who has become more and more idle, has spent most of her energy on innovative eating. As for the matter of winemaking, she has already given no less than ten recipes.

"This is not necessarily good, Concubine Lin is here to please Zhao Ziqian, and I am here to please myself!" Yi Xiangxiang will not be shy because of Su Jingxiang's teasing, although it is a bit hypocritical to please herself, but in fact she is just to satisfy her appetite.

has been together for nearly five or six months, and Su Jingxiang can be regarded as understanding Yi Xiangxiang's temper, so she is not surprised by the latter's words. Even Yi Xiangxiang called the name of the current saint directly, but it didn't make Su Jingxiang show a shocked face.

Su Jingxiang remembered that the queen went to the lake on a whim at the beginning of spring, but she suffered from the cold. The imperial doctor prescribed the medicine too bitter and the queen was unwilling to drink it, so she happened to bump into the saint who forced the queen to pour medicine, and she also heard the queen scolding the saint for being a bastard!

It's really nothing at all.

"Niangniang, these wines are going to be used in the Queen Mother's Qianqiu banquet? If the number is enough, you can take advantage of this to make the Empress Dowager smile. Su Jingxiang retracted her thoughts and asked.

Next month is the birthday of the Empress Dowager Xiao'an of Ci'an Palace, and Su Jingxiang asked this question.

Yi Xiangxiang shook her head when she heard this: "It's better to say goodbye, it's as it should be done." But if you don't do a good job, you're asking for trouble. The Queen Mother's Qianqiu banquet is still according to the regulations, what wine to drink in the past is still what to drink, so as not to make more mistakes. ”

Su Jingxiang also knew Yi Xiangxiang's concerns, and nodded in agreement when she heard the words.

And Jimei, who was kneeling on the side and bowing her head and pouring wine, didn't see Concubine Ning nodding, thinking that she didn't answer, so she answered and said: "But isn't it, the queen mother in Ci'an Palace now, but whoever has a little trick has to grab it!" A few days ago, Yang Meiren knocked over a tea cup in her room, which was not a big deal. However, if you don't die, the tea cup was rewarded by the Queen Mother last time. So the old lady of Ci'an Palace said that Yang Meiren was disrespectful and made her kneel for two hours. ”

Xiao Dan didn't agree with this after hearing this, she said: "Originally, it was unruly to drink tea with the things given by the Queen Mother, let alone break it, and this matter was also rude to Yang Meiren." ”

As she spoke, she used small tweezers to flick the spices of the cloisonné enamel incense burner, and bursts of fragrance overflowed from the hearth.

Xiao Dan is right, it stands to reason that the Queen Mother or the things given by the Holy God should be well collected.

"Yes, that's what I said. But the cup is originally used to drink tea, why don't you drink tea, why do you need a cup! Jimei retorted.

Yi Xiangxiang was surprised when she heard this: "The little girl is good, she can still say such a reasonable thing!" She complimented Jimei.

Yingdong, who was coming in with a snack, laughed out loud when she heard this compliment, and she put down the green jade disc and said to Yi Xiangxiang:

"Niangniang, you don't know, this is what Sister Jimei said, this is what Yang Meiren said to the old lady in the palace of the Empress Dowager Xiao'an. If it weren't for such a sentence, Yang Meiren would not have been punished for kneeling for so long. ”

When the old lady of Ci'an Palace went to the Zuiyun Pavilion to punish Yang Meiren, the latter said: "No matter how beautiful the cup is, it is a dead thing, and it is normal to use it to drink wine and eat tea." And if it is shelved and made into an ornamental object, it will lose its value! The Queen Mother won't give her concubine a useless thing, right? That's too stingy. ”

So, Yang Meiren was punished to kneel for two hours.

Yingdong's debunking did not embarrass Jimei, on the contrary, she also stuck out her tongue very naughtily Chong Yi Xiangxiang.

"I'll just say when did you have such a high consciousness like this, feelings are pirated!" Yi Xiangxiang said with a smile.

Then Yi Xiangxiang turned her head and said to Su Jingxiang: "But this Yang beauty is quite to my liking, and it's no wonder that the saint has been running to the Drunken Cloud Pavilion recently." And she is also smart, she became a favorite concubine but did not bully the other concubines in the palace, but exposed her loopholes to let herself be punished by the queen mother, so as to make everyone's hearts more balanced, but less people targeted her. This person is much smarter than Li Jieyu before. ”

Originally, many people were jealous of Yang Meiren's favor, but she was punished by the Queen Mother. This makes many people feel a little sympathy for her, and they won't embarrass her too much.

Su Jingxiang was a little surprised by Yi Xiangxiang's words: "Wasn't Niangniang worried that Yang Meiren would be unfavorable to the saint before?" ”

After Yi Xiangxiang knew that Yang Meiren was the person of Prince Dongyu of Xiaodongguo, she mentioned it to Su Jingxiang, saying that she was a little worried about Dongyu's actual intentions.

"Originally, I was worried, but thinking about the saint, it's not brainless, besides, Xiao Dongguo's arms can't twist his thighs, so he must not dare to have any plans." Yi Xiangxiang explained.

In fact, this is also an excuse, she used to send someone to Xiaodongguo with the mood of a dog and a mouse. The previous child just came back from a message, according to the small statue and description he brought, Prince Dongyu did have a maid with a similar appearance to Yang Meiren by his side, and she was favored because of her smart dancing. However, his name is not Yang Zhihua, but Man'er.

Originally, this was not an anomaly, the name Man'er was a little dusty, and it was common to change the name to enter the palace. But the strange thing is that Xiao Dongguo doesn't have a portrait of Man'er.

So, this Yang Zhihua, who suddenly jumped out, was suspicious here in Yi Xiangxiang.

She is suspicious, Zhao Ziqian is not an elm head, and it should be for another purpose to favor Yang Meiren.

Of course, it is inconvenient for Yi Xiangxiang to tell others about these things. If she's suspicious, that's the best, but if there's really something wrong, don't startle the snake.

After all, I don't know who this snake really is.

Su Jingxiang's explanation to Yi Xiangxiang is not suspicious of him, because these days she has also heard that the struggle in the court is becoming more and more intense, and the saint suppresses it with his own strength, and uses thunderous means to deter those old ministers who believe in their high merits into obedience. She thinks that such a person will not be calculated by Yang Meiren.

Thinking of the matter of the vestibule, Su Jingxiang naturally asked: "I heard that the saint reuses the Pei family?" ”

He and Concubine Pei Yuchen came in also proudly, these days, in addition to Yang Meiren, the most saintly is the Mengxin Pavilion of Zhongcui Palace, which also made Yi Xiangxiang worry about Zhao Ziqian's kidneys for a while. And she also let the imperial dining room stew the bullwhip soup twice and send it to the Qian'an Palace, and it wasn't until the third time that Zhao Ziqian found out Yi Xiangxiang's idea of secretly poking and prodding, so he stopped her.

Even later, Zhao Ziqian was white-eyed and fragrant for a while, which made the latter feel funny and innocent.

Yi Xiangxiang yawned and said, "It depends on what everyone thinks, but I don't think it's important to say, it's just a few more errands." The saint has been eating a lot of dry food recently, so he naturally has to pull people up to do balance. And Pei Shangshu is the boss of the household after all, so it is normal to use it. ”

Pei Yuchen was favored because he picked up the light of the family, and when Zhao Ziqian stopped her from stewing bullwhip soup, he had already hinted that he was just staying overnight, just making a gesture for everyone in the court.

In fact, Yi Xiangxiang felt that Zhao Ziqian, the emperor, was also very tired, he didn't expect the first emperor to leave so early, and he hadn't cleaned up those who had made great achievements, so he left a mess and drove to the west, which turned out to make him exhausted as a son.

Not only did he have to appease the vestibule, but he also had to borrow the women of the harem to act, and he, the emperor, was a little aggrieved. Yi Xiangxiang thought so.

But Zhao Ziqian is not bad, after all, he has the courage and wants to do practical things. If this is changed to other emperors, it is definitely better to have more than one thing, and most of the people who are emperors will definitely not touch those big families.

Now that Zhao Ziqian has changed the blood of the vestibule, it is a reform and a change of law, although he is a little aggrieved, but the Li Dynasty will be able to usher in a prosperous era in the future.

In fact, thinking about it this way, she didn't quite understand why Zhao Ziqian wanted her to be the queen. In the past, she felt that Zhao Ziqian didn't want any of the Lin and Kang families to sit big, so she used her. But now that I think about it carefully, the Luo family of the Huaihai Palace, the Duan family of the Guogong Mansion, the Xiong family of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and even the Yuwen family, who originally supported King An, are all more suitable than her Yi family.

Because of these families, the Luo family of Huaihai Wangfu is a bright royalist, and it has always been loyal to the monarch and loves the people. The Duan family is a scholarly family with a long-term vision, and they are extremely supportive of Zhao Ziqian's reform and reform. The two generals' mansions are also the homes of military generals, and the people who came out of the battlefield know better what the common people have suffered, and they will definitely support Zhao Ziqian. None of them are like the Lin family, which is immersed in court politics all the year round, nor is they as constrained as the Kang family, which is the family of the Holy Uncle.

And more importantly, these families are all natives of Kyoto, and they are more useful than the Yi family, which squeezed into the court halfway.

"But this Pei family ...... No matter how you say it......" Su Jingxiang wanted to speak and stopped.

Yi Xiangxiang was relieved: "Do you want to say that Pei Yuyan of the Pei family is Princess An?" What's wrong with that? The court is at the time of employing people, not to mention the Pei family, it is King An, and it is estimated that he will be recalled in the future. ”

Su Jingxiang said in surprise when she heard this: "Really? ”

"It's just speculation, King An is talented, and the saint also cherishes talents, I just think it's not impossible." Yi Xiangxiang asked Jimei to pour herself a glass of wine, but she didn't notice anything wrong with Su Jingxiang's unusual surprise just now.

Su Jingxiang nodded when she heard this, but she still had expectations in her heart.
