Thirty-four, self-chaos
After Zhang Meiren and the four princes moved to live in Penglai Palace, the palace concubines who came and went to Penglai Hall to ask for peace almost returned to the grand scene when Wei Guifei was in charge of the sixth palace, every one or two days, those palace concubines who were a little lower would come to the palace, and whether they could enter the palace or not, they always had to stand outside the Penglai Palace for a while.
The four princes have been carefully conditioned for nearly a month, and they have long since returned to the white and cute they were born with. Now I have more spirit, and I am cute when I tease it. Wei Guifei also treated Zhang Meiren well, and when she asked for peace in the main hall on weekdays, she only hugged the four princes for a while, and then returned them to Zhang Meiren and the nursing mother.
The eldest princess loves her younger brother, and in her spare time, she likes to go to the east hall to take a closer look.
If so, this Penglai Hall is much more stable.
On this day, Tang Xiurong and Liang Meiren came to Penglai Hall as usual to ask for peace, but they caught up with the door of the main hall closed, and after a while, only Liuli walked out, with a serious expression, and apologized: "Niangniang still has some matters, I'm afraid I won't be able to see this time, Xiu Niangniang and the beauty master ran away in vain today." ”
Tang Xiurong was surprised: "Niangniang doesn't know what she is busy with, how can she not be so ...... on weekdays"
"Bang!"
Before the words fell, the sound of the tea cup breaking on the ground was already heard in the hall, Wei Guifei was angry, and the voice of vague anger could be heard through the thick palace door: "You don't listen to the words of this palace, what's the use of asking for it at this moment!" ”
Tang Xiurong couldn't help but be stunned, looking at Liuli with a slightly flustered and frightened look, hesitating whether to ask about the situation, Liang Meiren had a hint of vision, and hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Tang Xiurong's sleeve: "Sister, since we are all here, let's go to the East Hall to see the little prince." ”
Liuli was very grateful for Liang Meiren's cleverness, and hurriedly bowed, and then raised his courage and touched back to the main hall.
As soon as the door of this hall opened and closed, a few words of Wei Guifei's angry rebuke in the hall came out.
"Stupid thing! Do you want to drag the palace into the water? ”
Tang Xiurong walked towards the east hall suspiciously, and couldn't help but turn around and ask Liang Meiren, who was half a body behind the side: "I don't know what happened to Niangniang today, I haven't seen her so angry for a long time." ”
Liang Meiren just smiled, and did not comment on the full picture, she naturally didn't want to make trouble for herself.
Entering the east hall like this, Zhang Meiren was sitting in front of the shaking bed, looking at the sleeping four princes, she was originally only eighteen or nineteen years old, handsome, and now that she is a mother, the roundness on her face that has increased during pregnancy has not completely dissipated, but it looks much more atmospheric. At this moment, he looked at his precious prince with a smile, and his doting expression was moving.
Seeing Tang Xiurong and Liang Meiren come in, although they were not close, Zhang Meiren also got up decently, and after seeing the salute, she invited the two to sit down by the window.
Tang Xiurong is the only one of the three of the nine concubines who has not given birth, if he hadn't entered the palace in his early years, he was mentioned to the position of Xiurong with his qualifications, and he was afraid that he would still be on Jieyu. Shen Zhaorong, who gave birth to the second prince, was disheartened because the second prince died early, and since then he has been practicing Buddhism behind closed doors, and Song Zhaoyi, who gave birth to the third prince, is sick in bed again, and can hardly go out, leaving her at ease.
Looking at the very finely arranged shaking bed on one side of the hall, and the palace maid who carefully pushed the shaking bed for the sleeping four princes on the side of the bed, Tang Xiurong sighed with emotion: "My sister is really angry, and she has such a lucky star for Chen Guo's birthday. Now that my sister is by the side of the concubine, there will be more good days in the future. ”
Among the four concubines and nine concubines, the only one who did not have children was Tang Xiurong himself, but when Emperor Chen chose the named biological mother for the four princes, he only skipped his past, Tang Xiurong knew in his heart that she was in the Chen Palace, and she spent the rest of her life on this beauty.
Zhang Meiren was not very pleased, smiled faintly, and replied detachedly: "The fourth prince is blessed, Your Majesty takes care of it, and my sister just wants to be able to get some of his blessings." ”
While chatting here, the sound of ping-pong came from the main hall again.
When this Penglai Hall was built, it was not repaired according to a palace, but visited the Zichen Hall where the monarch lived, three halls and three compartments, so the distance between the east hall and the main hall was not too far, and those movements came, which made the four princes in the shaker kick their calves and fall asleep again.
Tang Xiurong was concerned, looked at the direction of the main hall and said: "Niangniang is really angry this time, and I don't know which one in the hall is not long-eyed, which makes Niangniang angry." ”
Zhang Meiren comforted the frightened four princes, slowly walked back to the chair and sat down, took the tea cup and gently opened the lid, blew away a few wisps of tea leaves floating on the surface, took a sip, and replied lightly: "It's Wu Si and a few female officials of the Shanggong Bureau." ”
"Shang Gong Bureau?" With all these years of experience, Tang Xiurong roughly thought about it, "Isn't there something wrong with that pendant?" ”
Zhang Meiren paused, buried her head in looking at the teacup in her hand, the heat slowly rose, in the early summer that has entered the summer, faintly bringing a trace of dryness, she did not directly answer Tang Xiurong's words, but pushed the teacup to the maid behind her: "The tea is too hot, change the cup to be warmer." ”
Only then did he turn his head to look at Tang Xiurong and Liang Meiren, and said slowly: "I don't really hear it here, it seems that Na Shen'er was assassinated in Yeting a few days ago, and was found and rescued by the patrolling forbidden army, so Na Shen'er turned over his confession again and handed over the news to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. ”
Tang Xiurong looked surprised, glanced at Liang Meiren who was pretending to be surprised on the side, and sneered: "She is a low-level minion, who will assassinate her." ”
Liang Meiren raised her eyebrows, sure enough, Wei Guifei usually dislikes this appearance stupidity, but it makes a lot of sense, isn't it a fool who has stupid blessings, so that she can live in such a high position until now. was disdainful in his heart, but he still mentioned a sentence: "Even if this pendant knows something that shouldn't be known." ”
"What she can know is what happened in the Shanggong Bureau," Tang Xiurong stood up suddenly, with a hint of panic, "Could it be that the Shanggong Bureau has a ...... with Niangniang?"
"Contouring Girl." Zhang Meiren resolutely interrupted her words, "Niangniang came to see the four princes, and there are some words that are inconvenient to say in front of the prince." ”
Tang Xiurong realized that she was out of shape, she was rough and slower to react on weekdays, but today she instantly understood that although she was closer to Wei Guifei, she really didn't need to know too much about Penglai Palace. It's just that she still has some doubts in her heart, when the former concubine was the assistant to the Sixth Palace, she also followed behind and had a lot of dealings with the Sixth Palace, why didn't she find anything wrong.
Sitting down slowly like this, there was a feeling of sitting on pins and needles, and her mind had drifted to the main hall, and she had a trace of concern in her heart, I don't know if this concubine sister, who has helped each other in the palace for many years, will have an impact on this matter.
When one side is in trouble, the opponent's actions are often faster than their own reactions.
Several people in the east hall were sitting in front of the window with ghosts in their hearts and quietly discussing, or secretly speculating, or not caring about themselves, or watching coldly, and the uninvited guests outside the Penglai Hall were already standing at the door.
Knocking on the door is the palace maid Siqin in charge of the Hanyang Hall of Zhengde Palace, and standing at the foot of the steps is the quite majestic five-grade female official Han Shanggong, Han Shanggong has been in Liushang for more than 20 years, and has always served the middle palace very heartily. And the three school supervisors of the Inner Servant Province also stood behind Han Shanggong.
This formation is naturally coming to the door to get people!
