After the lord of Minmin County went to bed, the attitude of the people in the harem towards her was obviously different.

I no longer treat her as an interracial woman like before, and I can laugh at will, and I have more respect, as if I felt that she had really become a harem concubine after going to bed.

The next day, Lord Minmin went to Kunning Palace to thank him, and thanked Queen Zhou again and again, "The emperor has a lot of opportunities, and he rarely pays attention to the harem. Thank you Queen Mother, if it were not for the advice of the Queen Mother, I am afraid that the emperor may not be able to think of me so soon. ”

"You blame the emperor for this."

Empress Zhou smiled and asked her to get up, "The emperor also remembers you in his heart, but he is worried that you will not be familiar with the rules of the palace when you come from Zhungeer, so let you be familiar with it and then sleep to avoid mistakes." ”

Lord Minmin knew that this was Queen Zhou's favor for the emperor, but she didn't know if it was the case, so she just thanked her.

"Yes, thank you for your concern."

Queen Zhou said some common things to her, and Lord Minmin also answered them one by one, seeing that her current conversation etiquette was more consistent with the rules of the palace, Queen Zhou was very satisfied.

"Recently, I often hear people say interesting things about Zhong Cui Palace, all because you don't know the rules of the palace. This palace has been instructed to let them talk less in the future, let alone joke about the master. If someone from the palace talks nonsense in front of you again, you just have to tell the palace. ”

When Lord Min Min heard this, he couldn't help but look up at Queen Zhou.

She always felt that Queen Zhou had something to say, as if she was not only talking about those palace people who made fun of her in private, but also like saying ......

Thinking of the humiliation he had suffered in the Imperial Garden on the first day and being able to sleep the next day, Lord Min Min seemed to understand something.

"Did the Queen Mother hear anything?"

"What do you think Hongu should have heard?"

Empress Zhou didn't answer the rhetorical question, but still looked at Lord Minmin with a smile.

Lord Min Min bowed his head slightly, "The day before yesterday, I was picking cherries in the imperial garden with the two of you, and I happened to meet the palace maids of Changchun Palace who were ordered to come and pick chers. Because we went first, and almost picked all the good roses, we had a few quarrels. It's not a big deal, it's just that I'm worried that the queen will misunderstand. ”

Empress Zhou smiled silently.

On that day, the palace people of Changchun Palace ridiculed the matter of Min Guiren, and the palace people of the Imperial Garden had already seen it, and turned their heads and came to Kunning Palace to tell the queen.

And Dan'er also found out the truth from the palace mouth of Chuxiu Palace, and it is said that Qian Changzai and Sun Changzai were very angry, and felt that Concubine Li was too blind.

But today, the county lord of Minmin said that it was a few quarrels, and he said that it was a misunderstanding.

It can be seen that she is a generous person.

Queen Zhou didn't expose her words, but said: "I don't know about this matter, I just think that you are now the emperor's serious concubine, not a Western painting from another race, and you shouldn't be made fun of." You have to stand up yourself, it's a good thing to be generous, but don't mess with the dignity and humility in the palace, understand? ”

Lord Min Min was a little embarrassed, "But sometimes, I always worry that I don't understand the rules to cause people to laugh at me, and if I think about it seriously, I'm afraid that I will offend people who shouldn't be offended." ”

Empress Zhou couldn't help but wonder, "You are a smart person, you have been paying attention to everything in the palace since you entered the palace, and this palace believes that you will soon grasp this degree." The harem has this palace, it is a fair place, you don't have to worry too much, there will be no one who can bully anyone for nothing. ”

With Queen Zhou's words, Lord Min Min couldn't pretend to be stupid anymore, she hurriedly got up and saluted, "Concubine, thank you for the queen's teachings." ”

……

"Does the emperor think that the noble Min is serving well?"

This Yen Zhi went to Kunning Palace to see the eldest prince, and had dinner here by the way, and Queen Zhou unconsciously chatted with him about the lord of Minmin.

Yuan Zhi didn't react much when he heard this name, "Shang Ke, she is a woman of different races, you can't expect her to be the same as a Han woman." What, where did she offend the queen? ”

"Nope."

Empress Zhou hugged the eldest prince in her arms and coaxed her, while looking up at Yuan Zhi, "The concubine thinks that the county lord of Minmin is more generous and decent than the concubine imagined, not like a grassland woman." I heard that she has read Han books since she was a child, and there are Han masters in the tent to teach, no wonder she looks like a Han woman. ”

When Motoji heard this, he suddenly said, "You seem to like her a lot?" I went to see Concubine He a few days ago, and listened to the tone of his concubine's conversation, she also liked Noble Min very much. However, Concubine Li's reaction was average, but she also said that the Min nobles went to the imperial garden to pick alders and give them to her. ”

Picking?

Empress Zhou smiled knowingly and told Yuan Zhi what happened in the Imperial Garden that day, "The Min nobles are too easy to bully, and the palace people in Changchun Palace are too rampant." It's just that Min Guiren, the bitter master, doesn't say anything by herself, and the concubine can't reprimand her for her. Thinking that Concubine Li would restrain the palace people in her palace, this matter was put aside. ”

"And such a thing?"

It was the first time that Motoji had heard this, and he couldn't help frowning.

Empress Zhou thought that he would praise Min Guiren for something, but she didn't expect him to say: "When Min Guiren first entered the palace, I heard that the palace people liked to joke about her, and talked about her behind her back, and even the clothes of the Han people were often worn against her. I don't like the harem palace people to talk a lot, and I don't like the Min Guiren to be so ostentatious. ”

Queen Zhou was stunned, and when she wanted to explain something to the Min nobles, she couldn't say anything.

The reason why those palace people dare to make jokes about Min Guiren is because Min Guiren is a foreign race, and on the other hand, because she is easy-going, generous, and has a very conniving attitude towards those palace people.

Those palace people are the best at looking at faces, and when they finally met a master who could laugh, they naturally took the opportunity to joke.

Empress Zhou handed the eldest prince to the nurse and said busily: "The concubine understands that the concubine has ordered the concubine to pass it on yesterday, and the palace people are not allowed to be so presumptuous." If there is such a thing, the concubines must be strictly rectified. ”

"Well, you just take this matter to heart, don't worry too much."

Yuan Zhifu became gentle again and gave her a chopstick chicken shred, but Queen Zhou could see that Yuan Zhi didn't seem to like Min Guiren.

This dislike is not because Min Guiren has done anything wrong, but more like because Min Guiren is a woman of different races, and Yuan Zhi naturally rejects her and only uses her as a tool for political marriage.

Empress Zhou sighed in her heart.

Motoji once said that the harem of the first emperor was full of concubines of political marriages, and he hated this the most, perhaps because of this reason, he naturally disliked Min Guiren.

But if you put yourself in the shoes of the noble people, you will be sent to the capital all the way, and you will be helpless......

She's also a poor person.

Queen Zhou sighed in her heart, silently ate the shredded chicken in the bowl, only put this matter aside for the time being, and also sandwiched a chopstick shrimp in the Yuanzhi bowl.

The meal was eaten with each other's thoughts, but it was quiet.
