Since ancient times, wives are respected and concubines are inferior, such a simple and clear truth has become a ridiculous luxury in the Chen Palace. Hearing Pei Zhenwan say such a thing, Queen Xu smiled dumbly: "What you said is indeed reasonable, but since ancient times, there has never been a shortage of intrigue in this palace, and the seduction of powerful interests naturally makes people have a lot of desires." In this court, there is a big dye vat, and many people come in, and in the end they all rush to fight for power. It's been a long time since I've heard what you said. ”

"When Niangniang says this, it shows the root of the problem," Pei Zhenwan said softly, "The more chaotic it is, the more it needs to be cleared up." In the harem, since the beginning of Qin, there have been constant battles, and there are many factions, so naturally it has become a habit for women in the palace to fight openly and secretly. Habit is not a rule in the end, it is not terrible, what is terrible is that a wife like the queen is used to it. ”

Empress Xu's expression moved, and she couldn't help but think about it, and then her eyes lit up: "It is this reason, this palace can't think of this layer on weekdays, and today you broke it, it is indeed this truth, it turns out that this palace has unknowingly fueled their arrogance over the years." ”

This mediocre Queen Xu, although she doesn't have many means, but fortunately, her mind is not confused.

Pei Zhenwan nodded, couldn't help but glance at Cheng Zhilan, and smiled slightly.

"That's why you said you wanted to help Zhaorong, and didn't secretly help the concubine?"

Pei Zhenwan looked at Queen Xu's expression and nodded solemnly, if there is a mirror in front of her at this time, I am afraid that she will also be moved by the sincerity of the person in the mirror.

Empress Xu still has a trace of doubt: "Concubine Wei was born in a prominent family, and she has often been disrespectful to the palace in the past few years. You were sent to the palace from the Marquis of Mao's mansion, why did you abandon her? ”

"One concubine has her own selfish desire to pursue honor and favor when she enters the palace," Pei Zhenwan replied very frankly, "The second concubine has said that the concubine is respectful and orderly, and the concubine helps the rules, and the third is that although the concubine has the help of the Hou family, this is her help, and it may also be her biggest sin." The concubine is selfish, moral, and utilitarian, but there is really no need to get involved with her. ”

Empress Xu hesitated a little, involuntarily glanced at Cheng Zhilan beside her, and looked back and said: "Cheng Sile has been dancing with you for the past few days, and said to the palace that you are an assertive person, which is true." ”

Feeling the gentle gaze cast by Cheng Zhilan, Pei Zhenwan said: "Niangniang knows countless people, how are the concubines, under the mother's eyelids, but they are all in their original form. ”

Empress Xu turned the pair of gold-inlaid pearls and gemstones on her wrist, thought about it, and said with a smile: "In this case, Cheng Sile recommends you again, and this palace will believe you." ”

Pei Zhenwan thought in her heart, it is rare for this queen to be frank, if she meets someone like Wei Guifei who is secretly doing tricks, she will suffer some losses, but if she is in a clear harem, it will be a blessing for Emperor Chen.

"Zhenwan, thank you for the trust of the queen mother."

Empress Xu responded, beckoned Cheng Zhilan to sit down, and then looked at Pei Zhenwan and said, "Since you have a heart and an idea, in your opinion, what should this palace do at the moment?" ”

"Niangniang should support Shen Zhaorong."

"Zhaorong has a good character and handles things properly, if she unravels the mustard with His Majesty, the palace will naturally treat her well." Empress Xu was a little puzzled by this.

Pei Zhenwan's eyes were a little playful: "The concubine means that the mother should help Shen Zhaorong get the grace of the saint, or even give Shen Zhaorong the capital to compete with Wei Guifei." ”

"This ......" Queen Xu was a little confused, "Just now you also said that there is a clear and secret fight in the harem, and the factions are all in the way, but why do you want the palace to support Shen Zhaorong?" ”

"Wei Guifei is invincible in the palace, so she naturally has her hands free, and she thinks about the queen all day long."

Empress Xu thought about it and guessed a rough idea, but she still had some clues, but as the middle palace of the right position, if she had too many questions in front of a beauty, it seemed a little insufficient, but she had to twist her eyebrows and think to herself.

Cheng Zhilan could see this look, but smiled and accosted her: "Pei Meiren means that if Shen Zhaorong becomes the person that Wei Guifei cares about, he will shift the target, in this palace, if Shen Zhaorong is to check and balance Wei Guifei, can the queen mother withdraw and control the situation?" ”

These words were relative to each other in private, Pei Zhenwan smiled: "Cheng Sile is worthy of being trained by the queen's mother, but it is more profound than I thought." ”

No matter how dull Queen Xu is, she will be clear when she listens to such a clear explanation.

"Pei Meiren has indeed seen these tricks," Empress Xu nodded, "I hope Zhaorong can live up to his expectations and don't fall into it by himself." ”

"Zhaorong was born in Nanshu, and he has nothing to do with the Chen Dynasty, and there is no one in the concubine's family, and the concubines with such a background of ours, no matter how much they get the grace of the king, they can't turn over any flowers," Pei Zhenwan described very calmly, as if it had nothing to do with herself, "This kind of situation, for the queen, couldn't be better." ”

In this way, Empress Xu can be regarded as a verbal response, although there are still some things that she can't figure out, but she doesn't have to sit here and look at each other.

"The concubine and the concubine have some to do with it, which is a good thing for the queen's mother, in recent days, the concubine should get closer to the concubine, and please ask the queen to be patient, on the bright side, you and the concubine are still ordinary concubines."

Empress Xu nodded in response, and Pei Zhenwan and Cheng Zhilan retired.

Fang walked outside the Zhengde Palace, Cheng Zhilan walked behind Pei Zhenwan, and said in a low voice: "Ah Wan, I talked to the queen mother today, and we can be together in the future, it's good." ”

Pei Zhenwan walked with a restrained manner, and said quietly: "I hope there won't be any twists and turns on the queen's side, senior sister, I can't show my intention to join the queen now, let's separate first." ”

Cheng Zhilan nodded, and the two saluted separately at the palace road.

Looking at Cheng Zhilan's departing figure, Pei Zhenwan turned her head and instructed Agar: "Spread the word out of the palace, let Zhenyu find an opportunity to escape from the Maoguo Marquis Mansion in the next few days, Ding Bo and they have prepared a place for her to settle in Luodu, and her task is complete." ”

Agar nodded, and quietly went first.

Pei Zhenwan is alone, walking slowly in the palace road, now in the Chen Palace, the layout has been decided, all the pieces have been in place, today the Zhengde Palace will make things clear to the queen, and the next storm will be set off.

Sure enough, the things of wind and rain do not come only in calculations, and there is no other way unless people are prepared to deal with them from time to time.

"Pei Meiren!"

Pei Zhenwan stopped, followed the prestige, it was Liuli who came.

"Say hello to the beauty."

In the past, when she was in Penglai Palace, Pei Zhenwan's good impression of Liuli was higher than that of Amber, and when she saw it now, she also smiled, "What's the matter with Sister Liuli?" ”

Liuli bent her knees and said: "The concubine Niangniang has something to say to the beauty, so she specially ordered the slave maid to invite." ”

Pei Zhenwan smiled faintly.

Only then did the wind and grass change, and Wei Guifei was going to lose her breath. Sure enough, hitting grass can startle snakes, and she also wants to see what Wei Guifei can be angry in front of her.
