In Cining Palace, Cuifang changed her clothes and waited in front of the palace gate, wiping her eyes vigorously.

When the Queen Mother entered the door, she saw that her eyes were swollen and bloodshot, thinking that she had been crying for a long time and her eyes were red. Her family was poor, her sister was killed, she was a poor child, and today she was sent by the Queen Mother to serve tea, only to be manipulated by the emperor like this.

The Queen Mother helped her up with her own hands: "You were just going to serve tea, but because the emperor competed with me, you were wronged." ”

Cuifang shook her head again and again: "It's okay for the slave to be wronged, the slave is sad...... Slaves...... The slave maid is the palace maid of the Queen Mother...... wants to serve the queen mother all the time by the queen mother's side, the slave maid is afraid...... The Queen Mother...... Don't be a slave......" she said, her brows bent into inverted figures, her mouth grinning downward, and she howled and cried again, looking extremely sad.

"Silly boy, the mourning family asked you from the emperor, how could they say that they would send it away? The mourning family asked you to serve tea, you are well-behaved, and you don't have any thoughts, you go to serve tea, it is better than those who always want to hook the emperor. ”

Cuifang nodded: "It's good if the Queen Mother doesn't send the slaves and maids, the slaves and maids listen to the Queen Mother for everything." Slaves and maids will all go to serve tea in the future! ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was relieved and did not say anything. Cuifang saw that the Queen Mother was relieved, and she was secretly happy in her heart. She thought to herself that the queen mother ordered her to serve tea, but the emperor didn't dare not listen, if she dressed like this every day, the emperor was a hot-blooded man, and there would always be a day when he couldn't resist the temptation.

It was a little hot during the day, but the night breeze was cool. The dream stayed in the Zhongcui Palace as usual, but he couldn't sleep. What the Queen Mother said during the day made her point the finger directly at Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng reigned for nine years, promised the country with his body, and was a minister of the imperial court. These words were often mentioned by her father, who always praised him and took him as an example, and even the dream himself was indirectly influenced by him.

Her father is dead, how could Zhang Juzheng elect her father Zheng Chengxian as an official? Who is Zheng Chengxian, who was born out of thin air? Why is the Queen Mother so concerned about her affairs? The dream only knew that this must be related to the tragic death of his father, and he looked at some eyebrows, but in fact it was more complicated and confusing. All kinds of problems were entangled in his heart, making Zheng Mengjing toss and turn and couldn't sleep all night.

Before dawn on the second day, the dream returned to Changchun Palace, Yuzhi was still dozing at the door of the dormitory, and quickly got up when she saw the dream: "The slave maid didn't have time to go to Zhongcui Palace to pick up the little master, why did the little master get up so early and come over by himself?" After speaking, I saw her look haggard, "Little master, but you haven't slept all night?" ”

Dream nodded and looked around at no one: "Quickly find the little nobleman." ”

Yuzhi found Xiao Guizi, who obviously looked like he had just gotten up, and he was not dressed neatly. The dream is straight to the point: "There is something I want you to help inquire." ”

"The little lord commands."

"You inquire for me, Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, has he recommended anyone recently? What is the man's last name, and what is his origin? ”

The little nobleman received the order, and the dream instructed: "Don't be obvious, ask secretly, don't let people know that I want you to inquire." Whatever you hear, come back and tell me. ”

"Don't worry, the little master, the slave will definitely do a good job."

Dream Jing breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, she just wanted to figure out one thing, that is, what the Queen Mother said was true or false, if it was true, it would be a terrible thing.

The sky was a little brighter, and the dream was a little sleepy, and I was thinking about sleeping, Li Jinghan came over with her personal palace maid Lan Ye, and Li Jinghan grabbed her hand and apologized when she saw the dream: "Is my sister angry, and she only returned to the palace in the middle of the night?" It must have been yesterday that my sister made my sister unhappy by what she said, and I begged my sister not to be angry. As he spoke, he wanted to kneel.

The dream knew that Li Jinghan was thinking a lot and thinking a lot: "What are you talking about, it was you yesterday, you didn't seem very happy, but you have something on your mind?" ”

"I ...... last night" Li Jinghan was hesitant, she thought about it at night, she was too curious about the emperor, she showed it, and said that it was her fault for the dream in such a sour tone.

The dream also understood what she was thinking, and was straightforward: "Don't think about yesterday's events, we are all the emperor's women, it is normal to think about the emperor, and it is inevitable that there will be some jealousy in the future." But since ancient times, the emperor's favor is only for a while, only you and I and Sister Qiao are the best in the palace, our sisterhood is a lifetime, you don't hate me in your heart, it's good. ”

Li Jinghan nodded: "I only regard you as my sister in my heart." But I think of you serving tea every day, and the emperor spoils you like this, I'm really jealous. It's me who was stingy, and I won't be like this anymore. ”

The dream didn't want Li Jinghan to blame herself too much: "I served tea because the emperor had pitied me innocently for the Qin family and suffered for so long, and when the emperor criticized the chapter, he didn't look at me much." ”

Li Jinghan shook her head: "Sister, even if the emperor really favors you, there will be nothing." ”

After speaking, Li Jinghan pulled the dream back to Zhongcui Palace. The dream excused himself, saying that he hadn't slept well at night, and now he was a little sleepy. Li Jinghan had to go back by herself, and Lan Ye, who had been silent on the road, spoke: "The master personally went to invite her back, but she didn't come back, I'm afraid that her anger hasn't been cleared yet......

Li Jinghan frowned slightly: "I've already been there, and I can't do it anymore, so it's better to invite Sister Qiao to come." ”

"The master has a really good temperament, Yi slave, this Zheng Mengjing is unruly and favored by the emperor, just forget it, yesterday she deliberately showed off the jewelry given to her by the Queen Mother, both ends are so good, it's really charming." Lan Ye rolled his eyes as he spoke.

"What nonsense are you talking about! She's my sister, just call her by her name, and think so badly of others, don't you want this tongue! ”

Lan Ye immediately lowered her head and cried aggrievedly.

"Next time I hear you say that, I'll have someone else to serve me!" Li Jinghan walked forward angrily and quickly, Lan Ye followed cautiously, she only thought that Li Jinghan was weak, so she didn't cover her mouth and didn't stop it, and the first time she saw her angry today, she was so scared that she cried as quietly as possible.

I slept directly in the evening, and when I woke up and saw that it was dark outside, I hurriedly called Yuzhi: "Yuzhi, it's not good, change your clothes quickly." ”

Yuzhi rushed over in a panic, and asked while changing the dream: "What is so important?" ”

"Serving tea, I haven't ...... yet" After the dream finished speaking, he realized that the time for serving tea had already passed, and if the sedan chair came early, Yuzhi would definitely come to wake her up, and she would not fall asleep like this, so she stopped getting up in a panic: "The sedan chair didn't come today?" ”

"Yes, maybe the tea palace maid is cured."

Dream knew that the emperor had said that he had sent the maid of the tea palace, but it must not be what Yuzhi said. Maybe the emperor has something to do today, and she just happened to steal a day of leisure: "Let's go to Zhongcui Palace, I'm so hungry."
