The pillars, window lattices, and lintels in the Zixiao Palace are all purple-red, reflecting the red sun, and then there are crape myrtle flowers in the garden to match each other, which really has the style of the fairy purple house.

Let Duan Mengrou leave the six beauties given to Hu Yonggang in Zixiao Palace? Isn't this a problem for Duan Mengrou? It's okay to persuade them to stay for three days and two nights, but it's not okay to stay in Zixiao Palace for a long time, one is that they don't want to, they want to be noisy; Second, the emperor asked about Hu Yonggang's family affairs, and if the emperor was dissatisfied with this kind of disposal, Zixiao Palace would also be affected.

"Xianxian, you really know how to laugh. How dare I leave your six sisters-in-law to live for a long time? Duan Mengrou asked with anger suppressed.

"What dare not? Duan Tianfei has so many clever schemes, she will always come up with a way. ”

Looking at Hu Xianxian's successful smile, Duan Mengrou secretly gritted her teeth, "What's the benefit of me leaving them in Zixiao Palace?" ”

"The good thing is that our previous grievances have turned over, and I am very resentful, so it's not easy for me not to retaliate against you." Hu Xianxian's smile was as bright as the sun.

Duan Mengrou raised the dust in his hand, and said in a proud tone: "You have been fighting in Fanbang, you have not been in the capital for a long time, you can know that the situation is changing rapidly, I am now quite trusted by the Empress Dowager, the magnates in the capital no longer worship the law strategy, and Cheng Haofeng has just been relieved of power, with my popularity at this time, what are you going to threaten me?" ”

The reason why he pushed the hot potato of the six beauties to Duan Mengrou was that Hu Xianxian really had a heart of revenge.

Because Duan Mengrou had mentioned many times in front of the Empress Dowager that the country should keep more dragon sons and grandchildren, if Emperor Deyuan had a prince to succeed him, there would be no dispute between the vassal kings, and Han Zexi should be persuaded to take more concubines and have more heirs.

talked too much, and it became a piece of the royal family's heart, which put Shen Zhujun under a lot of pressure. After the banquet in the palace that day, Shen Zhujun was distressed when he mentioned these things, and Hu Xianxian wanted to find something to vent his evil anger to his friends.

As for whether Duan Mengrou would be at her mercy, Hu Xianxian had already thought of a way to deal with it.

"Hehe, how dare I blackmail Duan Tianfei? I'm just here to ask for your help. Hu Xianxian said quite honestly, but the light flashing in his eyes was as cunning as a fox, "Wenshan City, Mr. Mo, Mohu, I think Duan Tianfei should know these things, right?" If you want to achieve your goal, the remnants of the dragon pit at the bottom of the tomb are crucial, right? ”

Duan Mengrou's face changed suddenly: "What else do you know?" What do you want to do? ”

Let Zang Xuanjiao be reborn, this is Duan Mengrou's obsession, Hu Xianxian speculated that the death of Mo Jinmian was a game, and Duan Mengrou should have known that Mo Jinmian was resurrected. used a few words to deceive Duan Mengrou, making it seem like Hu Xianxian was going to play some kind of conspiracy, which made her nervous.

Hu Xianxian didn't actually know about those things, but he could infer from Cheng Haofeng's words and deeds that there were still many big secrets, and Duan Mengrou couldn't care less about those secrets about Zang Xuanjiao.

"I don't want to do anything, just ask you to help." Hu Xian Xian was talking, so that Duan Mengrou couldn't figure out how much she knew and what she would do.

It's just a little effort to keep these six beauties, if something really happens to Zang Xuanjiao, it will make Duan Mengrou live and it will be meaningless, after dividing which is more important, Duan Mengrou agreed to Hu Xianxian.

Outside the gate of the main hall of Zixiao Palace, there was an endless stream of good men and women who came to pay homage to incense, and when they saw Duan Mengrou and Hu Xianxian walking out side by side, they all saluted and cheered.

Duan Mengrou wore a purple gold lotus crown on her head, a purple robe of auspicious clouds, a jade smile showed compassion, and her eyebrows and phoenix eyes implied majesty, so beautiful that people couldn't help but want to worship.

She is so beautiful that people want to worship, and Hu Xianxian is dazzlingly beautiful, so dazzling that people dare not look at it directly. The eyes are shining, the skin is moist and shiny, the cherry lips are smiling and subtle, even if you wear a simple green robe, you also have a peerless elegance.

Duan Mengrou is the palace master of Zixiao Palace, everything here is dominated by her, after raising her hand to signal everyone to be exempted, she said slowly: "This year, the wind and rain are smooth, the rice and grain are harvested, and a special prayer ceremony is held to thank God, and pray for the blessings of all the people, after the festival, this concubine will choose fifteen osmanthus fairies to worship the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and all women can participate in the election, regardless of age." If you would like to apply, please apply at the Governor's Office in the Back Hall. All the women who are selected as osmanthus fairies, the concubines of this day will each give a peace talisman, a bottle of beauty lotion, and a jade pendant carved with osmanthus in the moon. ”

This Zixiao Palace's peace talisman can only be donated for five taels of silver, and the beauty lotion is not sold at all, if you can wear that jade pendant, you can improve your status, and many women immediately went to the apse.

Hu Xianxian found the six beauties and asked them to go, they hesitated at first, but then Hu Xianxian said that the reputation of the daughter of the criminal minister released from the palace is not very good, and it is a good opportunity to change her reputation to be the osmanthus fairy of Zixiao Palace, and a total of fifteen women will be selected, don't you have the confidence to fight?

After the six beauties exchanged glances, they agreed to apply for the election, first, Hu Xianxian said that they had the heart to fight, if it was about appearance and talent, they were much better than those women who rushed to sign up; The second is that they were tortured in the General's Mansion, thinking that if they became osmanthus fairies, maybe Zixiao Palace could shelter them.

On the ninth day of the first month of August, Zixiao Palace roughly selected the women who signed up, selected fifty women for the second election, and let all the women who participated in the second election go to the Zixiao Palace to live temporarily and learn various rules.

The six beauties were all selected for the second round, they went to Zixiao Palace, Hu Xianxian just wanted to take time to go back to Xianyun to watch Hang Wuyi and Tang Cai'er, and someone from the palace passed the word.

Ah Lu brought two eunuchs with him, announced that Hu Xianxian entered the palace, and helped the queen prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet.

After entering the palace, he saluted and sat down in the inner hall, Shen Zhujun asked the others to retreat, leaving only Ah Lu to serve beside him, and complained to Hu Xianxian.

"In the past, all kinds of sacrificial celebrations were handled by Concubine De, and this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the Empress Dowager said that I should hold the reunion banquet of the monarch and ministers. There are also some restless people who say behind their backs, all the big and small affairs in the palace are done by Concubine De, and I am empty of the name of the queen, and I will only dance and write in the study, and I have not fulfilled the responsibility of managing the six palaces, so it is better to abolish me. ”

Hearing these words, Hu Xianxian thought that after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang Festival is also a big festival, and he has to prepare a lot of things; After the Chongyang Festival, the weather is getting colder, according to the usual requirements for the queen to take the palace maid to sew cotton clothes and send them to the border soldiers, in order to show the emperor's grace, although there is no need to do it yourself, it is also difficult to organize people to make so many cotton clothes; Soon it will be the end of the year, from the eighth day of the lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first month of the second year, the banquets are continuous, and Shen Zhujun has to take care of these when he has no time to spare......

also said that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, let alone participate in the political disputes of the previous dynasty, there are a lot of chores in the harem, and Shen Zhujun has no right-hand man, what can he do? Those concubines who are involved in politics either have their mother's family as a backer, or they have minions to help them, Shen Zhujun has no one to help except Ah Lu's loyal service, and she herself is a character who doesn't like to be in charge, so she is really not suitable to be a queen.

The harem woman calls herself a "concubine" in front of the emperor, the minister is a subordinate, both a subordinate and a husband and wife, should the subordinate do things as the main relationship, or should the love of the husband and wife be the main relationship? The interests of the family and the country are linked, and this system is wrong.

Hu Xianxian dug his nostrils fiercely, and thought angrily: Which bastard came up with this system? Let the emperor's women take care of the housework, but they are not allowed to interfere in politics? It is not allowed to interfere in politics, and there are still many important palace affairs that have risen to the level of affairs? It is estimated that the people who set this system think that women cannot be allowed to take power in normal times, but they cannot be allowed to completely abandon and do nothing, in case they die, so as to give women a crime of disaster and disaster......

There are a lot of specific things to say about the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet, Hu Xianxian didn't hear what Shen Zhujun said, her rude movements and resentful eyes scared Shen Zhujun.

It's easy to have someone to say in his heart, but the other party didn't listen to what he said, Shen Zhujun's eyes turned red with grievance: "Sister Hu, are you listening to me?" "

"Huh? Oh......" Hu Xianxian came back to his senses, "I'm listening, I'm listening." I think you're too embarrassed to be the queen, if you don't want to be, I have a hundred ways to take you out of the palace, and the emperor can't find it. ”

Shen Zhujun cried and laughed and sighed a few times: "I am willing to be the queen, but I can't give up Zexi, he is very good to me, I also want to better assist him, and I hope that I can become a generation of virtuous queens in the world." ”

It was Shen Zhujun's decision to stay in the palace, if Hu Xianxian had known the result, he would have taken her out of the palace, but unfortunately he couldn't count his fate. The reason why a woman has to make a decision is very simple, but a man has to weigh the pros and cons repeatedly, infatuation does not distinguish between men and women, but in the end, women are hurt more.

In the next few days, the general's mansion was quiet because all six beauties went to Zixiao Palace, but Hu Xianxian had to go to Shen Zhujun's Yusheng Palace every day to help.

Busy until August 12, the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet should be invited to which people, where, which dishes to prepare, by whom to cook, etc., are all decided, just about to take a break, listening to the noise outside the house.

Hu Xianxian turned his head to look at the wall, and vaguely saw Cha'er raising his eyebrows and glaring at Ah Lu. Shen Zhujun wanted people to see what was going on outside, but Hu Xianxian stopped her.

Next to the lotus jar outside the gate of Yusheng Palace, Ah Lu smiled at Cha'er in embarrassment and said: "Aunt Tea, please sit in the small hall, wait for the slave maid to pass on the queen's mother, please explain the matter to the maid, the slave and maid can't be the master." ”

"I am a lowly person, the queen mother and Concubine Hu Tianfei have always looked down on me, how dare you cause trouble? It's just that I forgot to invite Mrs. Yan Kuo into the palace, and you can convey it. Alas, if it weren't for the fact that Concubine De secretly wiped her tears in Ci'an Palace, and it was hard to say much if she wanted to see her sister, I wouldn't have come to meddle in my affairs. After saying it angrily, Cha'er brushed his sleeves away.

After a while, Ah Lu entered the door, and explained the reason, the emperor had authorized Ke Yarun to enter the palace to see his sister during several reunion festivals, and when Ke Yajie was in charge of affairs in the past, he would let people go to the tomb hut a few days in advance to send the palace token to his sister, so that he could enter the palace.

Shen Zhujun and Hu Xianxian both forgot about it, and Ke Yajie didn't want to send someone out of the palace privately, when she went to visit the Empress Dowager in Ci'an Palace today, she secretly wiped her tears, Cha'er happened to see it, and told the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager asked Cha'er to urge them to do it quickly.

Forgetting to send someone to Ke Yarun to send the palace token was the negligence of Shen Zhujun and Hu Xianxian, but the whole thing didn't seem to be as simple as a small mistake. Shen Zhujun is in his prime, and Hu Xianxian is also in the limelight, in contrast, Ke Yajie is not favored, and a sister is still in captivity, no matter how you look at it, it looks like Shen Zhujun is bullying Ke Yajie.

The queen bullied Concubine De, Concubine De was wronged and didn't dare to say, the Empress Dowager was the master of Concubine De, and sent the imperial aunt Cha'er to reprimand the queen's personal maid, which was a big drama, and Shen Zhujun was passively played into a jealous and arrogant image.

"Hmph, let's be wicked? I will be the wicked, and I can't let Zhujun be the one who can't be the wicked. Hu Xianxian instructed Ah Lu, "Go and find out who was in charge of the harem's relatives entering the palace in the past, and don't remind us of it." ”
