Chapter 581: Return (2)
On the day she entered the palace, Xie Zhenzhen had dealt with Zhou Yan'er. At that time, Xu was hindered by the presence of the prince, and the two of them behaved very generously and decently, one gentle and generous, and the other modest and polite.
However, Xie Zhenzhen's pretended arrogance still made Zhou Yan'er very disgusted.
Watching the position that originally belonged to you be snatched away by others, this feeling is not just heartache, it is so simple.
Xie Zhenzhen sat on the main seat, watching Zhou Yan'er come to her unhurriedly, she was delicate, her makeup was exquisite, her head was slightly lowered, and she came to her step by step.
"The concubine asks for peace to the mother."
Her tone was respectful, her gaze was downward, she grabbed the corner of her skirt, and bowed her head to the bluestone brick in front of her.
"Get up, sister."
This "sister" sounds really harsh.
She was obviously older than her, but she had to bend her and look at her fake smile, which was enough.
Xie Zhenzhen stared at her, and said half-loudly: "My sister's clothes are so good-looking today, and the pair of pearl earrings on her ears are even more exquisite." ”
Zhou Yan'er is tall and tall, and her belt is tightly tied, showing her slender waist more and more.
Xie Zhenzhen recalled that on the day of the concubine selection, the prince fell in love with her at first sight, which was not unreasonable. In terms of appearance, she's definitely better, but so what? She's just a side room now.
Zhou Yan'er saw that the crown princess looked at her with deep meaning, so she said: "Niangniang praised it, the concubine just didn't want to lose her proportion, so she dressed up carefully." ”
Hearing this, Mama Chen glanced at her coldly.
In her opinion, Zhou Yan'er was just young and couldn't hold her breath, and she deliberately dressed like this to provoke.
"Niangniang is looking for my sister to come over today, don't you have something to say? I don't know what's going on? When Zhou Yan'er said this, the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, and the corners of her mouth were also raised, thinking: Xie Zhenzhen, you won't call me here for no reason. It's not the kind of relationship between us that we can drink tea and gossip together. So, hurry up and say it's important.
Xie Zhenzhen took a sip of tea, glanced lightly at the palace maids beside her, and motioned for them to step back first, before turning her head to look at Zhou Yan'er and smiling: "This palace does have something to say today." Now, the queen is seriously ill and has handed over many things in the palace to the palace to take care of. So ......"
When she said this, she sighed deliberately: "Don't tell my sister, this errand is really a difficult errand to do." Now that the sisters have entered the palace, the palace will have a companion. ”
Zhou Yan'er's eyebrows moved when she heard this, and she didn't understand what she meant? She obviously has a high-minded posture, but she deliberately said such things?
"Although my sister has just entered the palace, she also knows something about the situation in the palace. Now, the court is the most difficult time, and the palace must be frugal everywhere and save as much money as possible......" Speaking of this, Xie Zhenzhen deliberately changed her expression again: "The rules of the palace, my sister knows, and this routine is provided according to the rules." But these are extraordinary times...... The younger sisters are sensible people, so this palace will tell the truth......"
Xie Zhenzhen pretended to have a helpless expression, said a lot, and finally got down to business.
It turned out that she wanted to cut down on Zhou Yan'er's share of the three.
When Zhou Yan'er heard this, the anger in her heart swelled up.
She's too much of a bully.
"Niangniang, you say that, what else can I do except be embarrassed? My sister has been in the palace for less than half a month, and she has only received a month's share according to the rules, and now she needs to take care of it everywhere. If you suddenly want to say that you want to cut the quota now, could it be that you are deliberately targeting me? ”
Zhou Yan'er asked bluntly, thinking that she was not such a bully.
In terms of background, the two of them are comparable. Xie Zhenzhen has the Xie family as a backer, and their Beijun Mansion is not easy to bully.
The relations between the DPRK and China inside and outside are inherently intertwined, and it is troublesome to easily snub anyone who is involved in a single issue.
Xie Zhenzhen's tone was not good, and then she also put away the smile on her face. "What's wrong with my sister? Isn't this a discussion with you? ”
Consult? Zhou Yan'er chuckled, implying mockery.
She slowly stood up and curtsied at the crown princess: "My sister suddenly feels unwell, take a step first, today's matter, my sister will go to ask His Royal Highness the prince a question or two, and when my sister has figured things out, I will talk back to my mother." ”
She wouldn't suffer this dumb loss, she was clearly going to bully her. If she comes by her, then she will have no chance to turn over in the future. Anyway, she is the woman that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes, how can she be bluffed by a few words of hiding a knife in her smile.
Zhou Yan'er got up and wanted to leave, but Xie Zhenzhen said lightly: "Sister, why bother? His Royal Highness is busy with political affairs now, and my sister should be more considerate of His Highness. ”
Her tone was slightly reproachful, as if to accuse her of ignorance.
Zhou Yan'er said softly when she heard this: "Niangniang doesn't need to worry too much, my sister has her own sense of proportion." ”
No matter what she said, it couldn't stop her determination to go to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Whether she doesn't know the current affairs, she doesn't know whether it's good or bad, she can't put herself at a disadvantage anyway.
Zhou Yan'er turned away, Xie Zhenzhen's face changed, and then the tea bowl in her hand slammed on the table.
Seeing this, Mama Chen hurriedly persuaded and said, "Niangniang, you don't have to be angry, it's just that she doesn't know what to do." ”
Xie Zhenzhen was no longer gentle, and her eyes were sharp: "She's really a trouble!" Self-righteous, Bengong is kind and persuasive, she really thinks that she can be on an equal footing with Bengong? ”
Mama Chen persuaded again: "Niangniang is angry, she is willing to lose face, so let her lose face." When he saw the prince, how could the prince listen to her nonsense, and he sent her away with a face! ”
Although she was persuading her, what she said made Xie Zhenzhen even more disgusted.
"What are you talking about? When did His Highness throw people in the face! ”
Mama Chen knew that she was speechless, so she was busy and bowed her head again.
Xie Zhenzhen calmed her breath a little, muttered for a while, and then said, "This palace can't help but offend her." She is the person His Highness cares about. ”
I have to say that a long time ago, she had regarded Zhou Yan'er as her worst enemy.
……
Zhou Yan'er went all the way to the Heart Cultivation Palace, the last place she should go in the palace.
The crown prince was discussing with several ministers, and when he saw Koharuko coming to report, he also leaned into his ear to speak, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Let her go back." The four words of coldness and loneliness wanted to send her away first. Who knows, Xiao Chunzi came back with a face full of embarrassment after a while and said: "Your Highness, the little lord still hasn't left, saying that she will wait for His Highness all the time." ”
Xiao Chunzi also persuaded for a long time, but unfortunately, Zhou Yan'er did not enter the oil and salt, as if she deliberately wanted to embarrass His Highness.
Changsheng was upset by the disaster in the northwest, and when he heard this, he just said lightly: "Then let her go." ”
She was willing to ask for her own hardship, and he didn't stop her.
Zhou Yan'er stood quietly outside and waited, which was a full two hours.
At this time, although it is spring, but now the sky is cloudy, and the wind suddenly rises. Zhou Yan'er stood outside, her legs stiff, and the makeup on her face lost its color.
The palace maid beside her persuaded her again and again, but the master just didn't listen.
Zhou Yan'er has always stood stubbornly in place, as the daughter of a military general, she is not a weak woman.
In the evening, several ministers finally came out, all frowning and looking heavy.
That afternoon, they were frightened by the prince's harsh words.
If the disaster situation is incomprehensible for a day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not let them go one day.
Zhou Yan'er stood under the porch, and when she saw that the ministers were gone, she asked Xiao Chunzi to pass the word.
Xiao Chunzi's forehead was sweating, and she looked at her helplessly: "Little master, the slave kindly advises you, Your Highness is not happy at this time." Why should you ......?"
"You don't have to worry so much, just pass the word for me."
Zhou Yan'er's face was not red or breathless, and she seemed to be prepared for the worst.
Xiao Chunzi was so helpless that she had to turn around and go back to pass the word.
Sure enough, this time, His Royal Highness the Prince's face was even more ugly.
"Your Highness, the minion has said it many times, little master, she ...... Maybe she's really in a hurry. The little lord has been standing outside for two hours! Koharuko swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said cautiously.
Changsheng's face sank and sank, and he only said, "Let her in." ”
He didn't believe that there would be something big about the harem. It's just that when he thinks that she has been standing outside for two hours, he can't help but be a little concerned.
Zhou Yan'er walked in slowly, although she was physically and mentally exhausted, she still stepped forward to salute the prince with great grace, "The concubine greets His Highness." ”
Changsheng glanced at her, and when he saw that she was delicate, he couldn't help frowning slightly.
"What's the matter with you?"
Zhou Yan'er groaned slightly before she said: "Today, the crown princess asked the concubine to go over to speak, saying that she wanted to save silver taels for the imperial court, so she had to reduce the supply of the concubines. ”
When Changsheng heard this, his face suddenly became even more gloomy.
She came here on purpose for this kind of trivial thing.
Zhou Yan'er saw that his face was not good, so she said again: "Your Highness, the concubine is not here to upset you, the concubine just wants to ask...... It has been less than half a month since the concubine entered the palace, and the crown princess Niangniang wanted to suppress the concubine, and the concubine could think about the overall situation this time and obey the wishes of the concubine, but what about next time? Can Your Highness say a word for ......your concubine?"
When she said this, her eyes flashed slightly, full of grievances.
Changsheng's brows furrowed even tighter: "What do you mean by this?" Do you think the crown princess is deliberately making things difficult for you? ”
Zhou Yan'er didn't hide or dodge, looked him in the eye and said, "Your Highness, you won't believe that the crown princess really asked the concubine to cut the quota in order to save expenses, right?" ”
Her rhetorical question made Changsheng immediately think of something. Sure enough, this is another trick between their women to compete for favor...... One is strong, the other is wronged, and he wants to be allowed to uphold justice!
