30. Wishes are fulfilled
Pei Zhenwan walked all the way, she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and her foot strength has always been better than ordinary people, so fast on the road, she can recover the time in the incense shop just now. The veil on the hat fluttered backwards with the pace, like a fairy's shawl. Seeing the majestic outline of Chen Gong from a distance, flashing in the hazy water, Pei Zhenwan stopped, adjusted her breath slightly, and walked towards Anle Gate as she usually did when she was in the palace, protecting the peace charm in her sleeve.
Calculating the time, it was about an hour and a half after leaving the palace this time, and the full moon banquet should be coming to an end, and the time was just right.
In front of Anle Gate, the forbidden army raised their arms to stop her, Pei Zhenwan stopped, took the pass waist card on her waist and handed it to the forbidden army guarding the door for inspection.
If you go in and out of the ordinary, after seeing the waist card, you will be directly released into it, but today is abnormal, after the waist card inspection, was led all the way to the flower hall to wait, said that someone will come to re-check.
Pei Zhenwan responded with a smile, slowly paced a few steps in the Zhaohua Hall, and watched the people in and out of the procurement palace at Anle Gate all stopped, and the palace maids were placed in the Zhaohua Hall, and the eunuchs were to check the things they were carrying on the spot, and couldn't help but wonder and asked the little eunuch who was waiting in the hall: "Dare to ask my father-in-law, why is the inspection in and out of the palace so strict today." ”
Those little eunuchs probably also knew Pei Zhenwan's face in Penglai Palace, so naturally they didn't shirk it, and hurriedly explained: "Sister Pei went out on an errand this morning, but she didn't know. Today, taking advantage of the banquet, the forbidden army caught a case of stealing property from the palace in the palace, and just handed it over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for investigation. No, you have to check it strictly when you enter and exit, in case someone takes things out of the palace. ”
Pei Zhenwan's eyes couldn't help but widen: "Who is so bold?" ”
"The specific situation is not very clear, it seems to say that it is a small palace maid of the Shanggong Bureau who bought a little eunuch in the outer palace, and the two were handing over the stolen goods, but they were discovered by the patrolling forbidden army."
Pei Zhenwan nodded: "Since it is still a meritorious bureau, I'm afraid that I stole some hairpin rings and sold them secretly outside the palace." ”
"Who knows, this kind of thing happens frequently in the palace, and it will be fine in a few days." The little eunuch was unimpressed.
Pei Zhenwan covered her nose and smiled, and said with a little regret: "Also, I didn't expect the palace to be so lively today." It's a pity that I went out on an errand today, and I couldn't see the grand occasion of the banquet, and I missed the opportunity to see the excitement. ”
The little eunuch was a smart one, and persuaded directly: "Sister Pei, don't look at the remoteness of our place, we also know about the major events in the inner perimeter, and today's banquet is different from the past, there is a major event, and I want to say hello to Sister Pei." ”
"What can I be happy about?"
"Sister still doesn't know, at today's banquet, His Majesty issued an edict to give the four princes to the concubine Niangniang to raise, and this time the provincial monk dormitory bureau will be busy with the affairs of moving the palace for Zhang Meiren and the four princes. The concubine Niangniang got the prince, which shows that His Majesty loves the Niangniang in his heart. "The little eunuch's eyes lit up when he said it, and he smeared honey on his mouth, so he naturally knew that anyone in Penglai Hall might have a good harvest in the future.
Pei Zhenwan pretended to be shocked, asked a few more questions, and then touched a small piece of broken silver from her sleeve and gave it to the little eunuch. She is now in and out of the signboard of Penglai Palace, and her hand is naturally not small.
After talking like this, the supervising grandmother appointed by the Inner Chamberlain Province walked in, carefully inspected Pei Zhenwan's body and belongings, and made sure that it was okay, so she let her go.
Before entering the Penglai Palace, the festive and lively atmosphere has already come to the face. The eunuchs of the Inner Servant Province and the palace maids of the Shang's Dormitory Bureau went in and out like water, and the subordinates of the Penglai Palace themselves all grinned when they saw Pei Zhenwan.
When a few familiar little palace maids saw her, they smiled and pounced, pulled her sleeves and said, "Sister Zhenwan, go and receive the reward, Niangniang is in a good mood today, and we have all rewarded twenty taels of silver." ”
Oh, twenty taels of silver, Pei Zhenwan thought to herself, this Wei Manzhi is really in a good mood, and he is so generous. The ordinary third-class palace maid in Chen Palace has a monthly routine of only four taels per month, and the first-class palace maid like Amber has a monthly routine of only twenty taels. No wonder the palace people in Penglai Hall are happy as if they are celebrating the New Year.
Walking up the stairs all the way, you can feel the comfortable air like a spring breeze when you step into the hall.
Wei Guifei didn't sit on the couch, but paced in the hall, and when she saw Pei Zhenwan walking in from a distance, she smiled and beckoned. In her early twenties, she was still wearing the spring court dress made by the concubine, the crimson wide robe was densely embroidered with a joyful pattern of a hundred flowers, and the four butterflies falling in her hair were swaying, which was more like the scene of colorful butterflies lingering among the flowers. It can be seen that at today's banquet, Concubine Wei's limelight has fully overshadowed the rest of the concubines.
At this moment, she beckoned, "Zhenwan, come quickly." ”
Pei Zhenwan walked a few steps closely, and stepped forward with a smile to congratulate: "The slave has seen Niangniang, congratulations to Niangniang for her happy son." After the ceremony, he took out the peace charm from his sleeve and offered it steadily.
Wei Guifei was in a very good mood, took out this peace charm with amber, looked at it carefully, nodded and praised: "You did it properly, when the four princes hugged it, the palace will personally tie this peace charm to his curtain." ”
Pei Zhenwan responded with a smile and appreciation, very decent, for her, no matter what the situation is, it is extremely difficult to see her happy or irritable expression.
Wei Guifei was not affected by her calmness at all, she only smiled, clapped her hands and said: "You haven't seen the queen's angry and unspeakable appearance today, it's really enjoyable." In the past half a year, this palace is the most comfortable today, Zhenwan, this time you should be credited with your first work, say quickly, how do you want this palace to reward you? ”
Pei Zhenwan didn't shirk it, and slowly blessed her, and said with a gentle smile: "Since Niangniang said so, the slave maid wants to ask Niangniang for two rewards." ”
"Ha, Amber, listen, Zhenwan is not polite, this palace only said rewards, but she directly asked for two," Wei Guifei raised her eyebrows, looked at Amber very heartily, and then looked back at Pei Zhenwan, "You say that this palace allows you." ”
"One asks the mother to allow me to walk cheaply in the palace in the future, there are still many things to do for the mother in the future, there will always be some contacts between the palaces, and the slave and maid walk cheaply, so I can do things for the mother."
Wei Guifei nodded and agreed, this was also for her, so she naturally agreed.
"Another, the stepsister Zhenyu is disturbing in the Hou Mansion, although I am very grateful, but because Zhenyu is still young, please Niangniang will reward the heart of the slave and maid, and push the pity of the young sister, hoping to take more care of food and clothing."
"Is that all? Don't you ask for something for yourself? ”
"Niangniang is willing to look at the slave maid, not it is a reward, it has always been a thousand miles of horses, Bole is not often, the slave and maid have such a blessing, they don't need the reward that ordinary people need."
What Pei Zhenwan asked for, Wei Guifei sent Amber to write down the operations one by one, and was about to continue to speak, but she saw Liuli hurriedly approaching from outside the hall, walked all the way to the side, and lowered her voice: "Wu Si is decorated outside the hall." ”
Hearing this name, the joy written on Wei Guifei's face couldn't help but disappear half, her embroidered eyebrows frowned slightly, her silver teeth were bitten, and she sneered: "She fell fast!" It's not to make trouble for the palace, you go and pass her in, and the palace has to ask her well. ”
Liuli led someone to walk in with small steps, this Wu Si was a female official about forty years old, slightly plump, standing next to the slender Liuli, one and a half years old.
Wu Si decorated his head all the way, and when he got closer, he knelt down directly, kowtowed, and said, "Slave and maid knock to see Niangniang." ”
Wei Guifei sat on the couch, without the joy of Fang Cai, but she was a little angry, and waved her hand at Zhenwan: "You stand down." ”
After bowing and retreating, bypassing the screen, Pei Zhenwan's steps slowed down, and a few words of dialogue in the hall were faintly heard.
"You have been in the position of the secretary for five or six years, and now your subordinates are being caught by the forbidden army under the nose of the palace, and it is simply more than enough to succeed!"
"The slave and maid confessed their guilt, and asked the mother to calm her anger, but the little palace maid was not arranged by us, this really has nothing to do with us."
"Idiot! How do you Shang Gong Bureau take care of affairs, run away from a person who steals property in vain, if something is implicated, this palace will pick your skin! ”
"Definitely not, the female histories called by the slave maid are all trustworthy people, the slave and maid have already inquired, and no one has revealed the slightest bit to the palace maid, think about it, the little palace maid can't do anything."
"It's better to be like you say. These days, you should stop for a while, and when the rumors have passed, we will discuss it later. ”
