Ever since the Bagua Basa Group officially took up their posts under their new names, Hua Mian has regretted giving them a name for Bagua. Because ever since she started talking to them out of boredom, they have invariably become very gossipy. The big and small things in this palace continue to flow into her ears from their mouths every day, and even Pei Gongcuo spoiled which concubine one day, and who fought with whom and was jealous for him, he also took the trouble to tell her everything. They also added to the story of the relationship between Pei Gongcuo and the eight beauties.

Of course, these conversations were all carried out secretly on the rooftop, after all, no one wanted to make a fuss, and maybe there was someone's eyeliner hidden in this Shuihua Palace.

Hua Mian briefly summarized the harem concubines:

Concubine Xinde of Changchun Palace, whose maiden name is Li Xinyi, is the daughter of Li Zhihang, the general of Dingguo, and Pei Gongcuo and Pei Qijun's childhood sweethearts, and it is said that she once had a very close relationship with Pei Qijun.

Concubine Zhuang Xian of Chuxiu Palace, whose maiden name is Zhuang Ziyan, is from Yipin, the niece of the Queen Mother Zhuang Yan, and the daughter of Zhuang Shuhuan, the left minister, who is still favored because of the relationship between the Queen Mother.

Concubine Qing Shu of Yikun Palace, her boudoir name Rong Laiqing, Cong Yipin, Princess Beiyu, the sister of Prince Rong Laichuan's first mother, once won Pei Gongcuo's love, Pei Gongcuo didn't know why he angered him before he left the east, so that he didn't patronize Yikun Palace for a long time.

Ya Zhaoyi of Xianfu Palace, whose maiden name is Wen Ruya, is a woman brought back by Pei Gongcuo in the people. This is not quite in line with his usual style, if she is not "useful", then she must be deeply loved by him, Hua Mian can't help but be full of curiosity about her.

Mrs. Meng of Yanxi Palace, her maiden name is Meng Chen, Zheng Erpin, and the eldest granddaughter of Meng Qingshu, the right minister. He Xiuyi of Jingyang Palace, his maiden name is He Xi, Zheng Sanpin, and the daughter of He Zhonglian, the secretary of the Ministry of War. Zhao Guifei of Yonghe Palace, whose maiden name is Zhao Charming, is the daughter of Zhao Yikuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice. Wu Jieyu of Shufangzhai, her maiden name is Wu Qian'er, Zheng Sipin, the daughter of Wu You, the head of the household. Although these four daughters are not Pei Gongcuo's sweethearts, they can also get rain and dew because of their political marriage, and they are not in vain.

Regarding the leakage of privacy, she couldn't help but wonder if Pei Gongcuo had a problem with the use of people. The most taboo thing to survive in the palace is to have many mouths and many tongues, but these eight people have the talent of gossip without exception. If it weren't for that, it would have been Pei Gongcuo's own instructions. His purpose was nothing more than to make her eat some flying vinegar, and then fight for him like a treasure like other women.

He really didn't know her. Not to mention that she already has a wild brother in her heart, even if there is no one else in her heart, she will not fall in love with him. The last thing she likes is to beg for alms, especially affection. Not to love with all her heart, she would rather not. So, ah, he miscalculated.

Since the gossip group started broadcasting court secrets, Hua Mian has gradually enjoyed it, taking it as an indispensable pleasure in life. It's just that before she could taste a little fun, she was dragged into the play and couldn't watch from the wall anymore.

In front of the imperial case in the imperial study, Fu Xin took the tray in the hands of the little eunuch in the Jingshifang and handed it to Pei Gongcuo. Pei Gongcuo casually glanced at the nine green-headed cards on the inside of the tray, and his eyes fell on Hua Mian's name. He shook the hand that almost turned over because he didn't obey the call, and said to Fu Xin: "Is there any concubine who hasn't been favored by me recently?" ”

"Back to the emperor, since Princess Ning Wan entered the palace, Concubine Qingshu, Concubine Xinde, and Ya Zhaoyi have each been favored twice, and the other five have been fortunate by the emperor once, except for Wu Jieyu, who has not been summoned."

"Then you let Wu Jieyu wash up and wait in my bedroom."

The corners of Fu Xin's eyes couldn't help twitching, before Princess Ning Wan entered the palace, the emperor had never favored the palace concubines in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and now he always likes to summon them here, how can he not know his intentions? However, I am afraid that if this continues, not only will it not be able to save Princess Ning Wan's heart, but it will backfire. He sighed in his heart and took the command.

Zhuang Ziyan was wandering with Wen Ruya in the imperial garden, and when she saw Fu Xin hurrying by from a distance, she raised her voice and called, "I don't know where Grandpa Fu is going?" ”

Foxit stopped when he heard this, turned around and saluted: "I've seen two mothers." Back to Niangniang, the slave went to Zhongcui Palace to announce the decree and asked Wu Jieyu to go to the Heart Cultivation Palace tonight to sleep. ”

"There is a father-in-law, father-in-law walks slowly." Zhuang Ziyan smiled lightly and sent Fu Xin away, and she couldn't see the ups and downs of emotions on her face.

When Fu Xin walked away, Wen Ruya said strangely: "Before Princess Ning Wan came, the emperor rarely summoned Wu Qian'er and a few of them, and after she came, not only did she not get the emperor's favor, but let the emperor share the rain and dew equally. Didn't the emperor personally ask for her to come? What kind of medicine is sold in the emperor's gourd? ”

"I'm afraid my sister is lonely." Zhuang Ziyan said with a smile, "On the first night she entered the palace, she annoyed the emperor for some reason, and the emperor left without pampering her, and she has not been to Shuihua Palace since." ”

Wen Ruya was surprised: "Really? ”

"The most unhidden thing in this palace is the secret, even if the emperor tells everyone who knows to shut up, there will always be one or two big mouths who are not afraid of death and shake out accidentally." She wouldn't say that there was her eyeliner in the Shui Hua Palace.

Wen Ruya said clearly: "So that's the case, it's hard for the emperor to be awkward with her." It seems that the emperor really likes her. ”

"It's hard to say, she doesn't even have a title." Zhuang Ziyan smiled mysteriously, "Why don't we do an experiment?" ”

"What experiment?" Wen Ruya suddenly became interested, and her eyes burned.

"Come here with your ears."

Wen Ruya leaned over as she said, and Zhuang Ziyan muttered in her ear like this. After hearing this, Wen Ruya covered her mouth with crooked eyebrows and chuckled.

The sun is getting west, and the sun is getting late. Hua Mian lay on the phoenix tree and said to Hua Xun on the eaves next to him: "Go and see if the braised pork in the imperial dining room is cooked, Xueqiu should be hungry." ”

Hua Xun didn't raise his eyelids and said: "The duty of the subordinates is to protect the safety of the princess, and it is inconvenient to leave." ”

"There's your share too."

"Serve the master and subordinates willingly." The end note is still there, but the person has disappeared.

Saltwater duck. Crispy chicken. Braised pork.

This is the delicacy that Hua Myanmar has bribed on Hua Xun in recent days. Every time he is asked to do something, he must first be allowed a meat dish, and he will do it happily. He clearly remembered the revenge of being kicked off the tree by himself that day. In a word, in Hua Mian's heart, he is a foodie with a small belly and chicken intestines.

Seeing that the palm lamp was in hand, Hua Xun had not come back yet, Hua Mian couldn't help but look outside the courtyard, but saw a little eunuch running in from outside the Shuihua Palace, so he got down from the tree.

The little eunuch said that it was the emperor Princess Xuan Ningwan who went to the Heart Cultivation Palace. Hua Mian first arrived, and the people in the palace were all fresh faces to her, so she didn't doubt him, and went out of the courtyard after explaining to Wan Tao.

She was thinking all the way, what kind of medicine was sold in this Pei Gongcuo gourd, hadn't she been hanging herself, why did she suddenly remember to summon herself? Could it be that she wants to sleep? The thought made her shiver.

Hua Mian came to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, and the eunuchs and maids in the palace saluted her warmly.

She grabbed a little eunuch and said, "Where is the emperor?" ”

The little eunuch said respectfully: "The emperor will be here soon." Why don't you wait for the princess in the side hall? ”

"It's fine." Hua Mian said and moved to the side hall.

There was no lamp in the hall, and the little eunuch was lighting the lamp, and Hua Mian felt that there was no need, so he sent him down, and he found a soft chair to sit on and wait for someone's car.

Sitting in the dark for long periods of time can always make people feel sleepy, and Hua Mian didn't sit for a while before taking a nap. was in a daze, his waist suddenly tightened, and then he was hugged by a pair of big hands, and the next moment his neck was hot, and a soft thing sucked and licked around his neck.

Hua Mian screamed.

Pei Gongcuo was stunned and said, "Who are you?" As soon as the words fell, he let her go and turned to light the lamp.

When he saw that the person in front of him was Hua Mian, he was surprised and said, "Why are you?" ”

Hua Mian sneered: "Why, I didn't even know who it was, the emperor was in a hurry." ”

Pei Gongcuo was a little dizzy for a while, Hua Mian's appearance did make him overjoyed, but this flame of joy only burned for a moment before being poured into ashes by her words. He shouted angrily, "Someone." ”

The little eunuch waiting outside the door hurriedly rushed in and said, "The slave is here, I don't know what the emperor commands?" ”

Pei Gongcuo said coldly: "What about Wu Jieyu? ”

The little eunuch was frightened by Pei Gongcuo's momentum, and said in a trembling voice: "Wu Jieyu is waiting for you on the dragon couch." ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier?"

The little eunuch snorted: "The slave thinks that the emperor wants to favor ...... at the same time."

"Presumptuous!"

"The emperor spares his life!" The little eunuch was so frightened by his angry shout that he threw himself on his knees.

Hua Mian couldn't help sighing: "It turns out that the emperor and the beauty have an appointment, since this is the case, I won't disturb the emperor's good deeds." As he spoke, he turned and walked out of the hall.

Pei Gongcuo hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her arm, and said with a gentle face: "You have something to do with me?" ”

"It's fine. It's just a mistake. Hua Mian shook off his hand and walked away.

Pei Gongcuo was stunned and had mixed feelings in his heart, at that moment he wanted to catch up and take her into his arms and love her, but he seemed to have nails under his feet and couldn't move.

On the way back to Shuihua Palace, Hua Mian noticed that someone was sneaking away, and he couldn't help but be amused. Is this trick used to test whether I am favored? It's just that I don't know what you want to see, is it Pei Gongcuo who was punished by me for driving Wu Jieyu away, or was I disturbing his good deeds?

Unfortunately, neither. I've let you guys down.

After Xiao Yunzi came back and told the truth, Zhuang Ziyan said in a deep voice: "It seems that the emperor is still happy with her." ”

Wen Ruya was puzzled: "The emperor obviously didn't leave her, why did he see her happy?" ”

Fang Cai Xiaoyunzi said that the emperor stood in the courtyard for a long time before returning to the room, which shows that he must have struggled in his heart at that time. He didn't keep her, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't. Otherwise, I am afraid that tomorrow the entire harem will spread the news that she is charming and seducing the lord to make the emperor drive Wu Jieyu away. ”

Wen Ruya said: "It's reasonable to hear my sister say this, it seems that the emperor really likes her." I just don't know how she annoyed the emperor and let the emperor stop setting foot in Shuihua Palace? ”

Zhuang Ziyan said as if unintentionally: "Speaking of which, one day I invited Princess Ning Wan to lunch, but Xia Er accidentally spilled the soup on her, and when she changed clothes, Xia Er found that she did not have palace sand on her. ”

Wen Ruya said in surprise: "So, she is not a virgin, so the emperor has never favored her in a fit of anger?" ”

Zhuang Ziyan smiled slightly: "I just said that." What's more, how could the emperor put an unchaste woman by his side? Just listen to it. ”

It is indeed impossible to change others, but Pei Gongcuo is not very human, Wen Ruya believes that he can do it. It seems that this Princess Ning Wan is indeed not to be underestimated.

After Wen Ruya left, Xia Er said to Zhuang Ziyan: "Do we want to spread the news of Princess Ning Wan's unchastity?" ”

Zhuang Ziyan smiled lightly: "No hurry." Maybe someone is in a more anxious situation than we are. "Princess Ning Wan, I want to see, once this matter spreads, how will the emperor protect you?
