Calm is certainly not crazy.

If she is crazy, then I am afraid that this harem will never be able to find a second normal person.

She just needed a partner.

Kong Lingci can't, Kong Lingci is her friend, the person she wants to protect, not a partner.

If before, calm thought only of self-preservation, then now, what she wants is more than just self-preservation.

She had never looked forward to the glory of being a lord of Shanggong.

Her family is dead, and no one is proud of her.

But if someone had to force her to do so, she would be willing to use her wisdom to send herself to the pinnacle of this harem lady.

The night was swaying, and there was no sleep, let alone calm and Liang Huanxi.

Han Zhi didn't sleep either, it wasn't that she didn't want to sleep, but she couldn't sleep.

She lay on the soft and comfortable big bed, tossing and turning, not feeling comfortable, only suffering.

She knew that the Queen Mother would eventually attack her, but she couldn't imagine that the mother of the dignified monarch of a country would not dare to cut her upright, but chose to use a newcomer to deal with her.

She didn't take her coolness into account.

But calmness actually won the favor of the general, and from that moment on, she knew that this little girl who looked cold and did not have a trace of fireworks was not as simple as it seemed.

Sure enough, even without the help of the Queen Mother Mingli, she still drove away Zhang Caixia and took the position of the director.

What's next? Is the next step to kill her and take her place?

Han Zhi didn't dare to think about it anymore.

She thought that by instigating Li Siyi and Zhao Yue, she could completely deal with this girl.

It's a pity that they don't look at it, or maybe it's none of their business, they don't do their best at all, in short, this calm is still alive and steady, not falling out of favor, but flourishing.

The more stable she was, the more Han Zhi's heart hung in the air.

She opened her eyes wide, staring at the beams of the roof, thinking about whether she was looking for an opportunity to surrender to the Queen Mother, she saw that the Queen Mother's secret was really unintentional, and she did not mean to use this secret to blackmail the Queen Mother.

But the Queen Mother still seems to refuse to let her go, although she is not blatant, she is making her wait for death slowly.

This kind of waiting for death is not pleasant, in this long uncomfortable taste, Han Zhi also slowly accumulated courage, she will not just sit still, she wants to resist, she wants to calm down, and continue to be her Shanggong Niangniang.

————————

On Concubine Xian's birthday, the emperor held a banquet in the palace.

All the departments of the Shang Palace Bureau have prepared gifts to please Concubine Xian.

The emperor will not give every concubine such a fanfare birthday.

Because the emperor has never set up a queen, every time the emperor has a better pair of concubines, it will cause countless conjectures, which will cause a commotion in the harem.

The same is true now.

Concubine Xian, who had been unknown all along, suddenly became favored by this, which shocked all the women in the harem, and they flocked to this newly favored concubine.

On such an occasion, the head of the harem female history, Han Shanggong, of course, was also among the invited guests, sitting next to Concubine Xian, eating, drinking and chatting with her mother.

Everyone held gifts, but they were ordinary things, and the rewards given by the virtuous concubine were far more than these gifts.

"Niangniang, the minister also has a small gift to give, Bo Niangniang smiled." Han Shanggong got up and said with a smile.

"Lord Shanggong's gift must be excellent, take it to the main palace and take a look." Concubine Xian smiled.

Han Shanggong pulled out a kaleidoscope from his sleeve.

This is what she has been painting for half a month, and she made it by herself, just to shine at the banquet today and win the smile of this new favorite concubine.

If she wants to be stable in this Shang Palace, she can't do without the support of these masters.

If she has the full support of these masters, even if the Queen Mother wants to abolish her, she will have to think about it a lot.

"What is this? Haven't seen it. Concubine Xian took the kaleidoscope, held it in her hand curiously, looked at it over and over, and asked with a smile.

"Niangniang raised the tube in front of her eyes and looked at it again." How does Han Shanggong's diligent concubine look at this kaleidoscope.

Concubine Xian looked at it a few times, and sure enough, her heart was overjoyed, a happy smile appeared on her face, and she nodded and praised: "There is such a fun thing, it really opens the eyes of this palace, come on, reward the pearl flowers that this palace has only gotten to the palace Niangniang." ”

Concubine Xian's maidservant Xiao'e brought two bead flowers up.

Han Shanggong said a few words modestly, picked it up and put it in a bun, the more proud the look on his face became, you must know that this pearl flower is a glory that only concubines can enjoy.

"What's good, let's take a look at it?" The corners of Concubine Ying's mouth were a little resentful, and she shouted loudly.

Concubine Xian handed her the kaleidoscope and said with a smile: "Sister, this thing is just a novelty, compared to the silk that Lord Shanggong gave you on your birthday, it is really too far behind." ”

Concubine Ying took it, put it in front of her eyes and looked at it for a while, clapped her hands and laughed: "It's fun, it's fun, it's even more exciting than watching a play." Han Shanggong, you are really good at playing. ”

"Xie Niangniang praised, Chen also thought of a more interesting thing than this kaleidoscope, and is stepping up production, if it can be successful, I want to make the girls smile."

Han Shanggong said with a smile.

Several concubines at the banquet also competed to take a kaleidoscope to take a look, and they all praised the Lord Shang Palace.

Han Zhi was a little proud when he was praised, and the corner of his eyes swept over the calmness of the seat he was sitting down.

Calm is still such an expressionless face, eating the delicious food in front of her gracefully, as if she didn't care about her popularity at all.

"You want to fight with me, you want to take me down, you're really a little tender." Han Zhi was very satisfied with his performance, thinking about it with satisfaction, and his mood was extremely happy.

The feast was eaten until the sun was in the west, and the concubines dispersed contentedly.

"You guys keep an eye on it, don't lose and break these tent chopsticks and the like, the palace has been poured a few glasses of wine by the girls, and I'm a little dizzy, go back and rest for a while."

Han Zhi instructed the head of the four divisions to help Nushi return to the Shang Palace.

Before he could walk back to the courtyard, he was stopped by a little eunuch urgently, saying that the queen mother was angry and wanted to see her immediately.

Han Zhi's little alcohol was instantly sobered up by these words, and he hurriedly followed the little eunuch to the Renshou Palace, and before he entered the hall, he heard the crying inside.

Han Zhi's heart sank, and his steps became hesitant.

"Lord Shanggong, let's go, I have to explain my own trouble, right?" The little eunuch said coldly.

Han Zhi didn't know what trouble he had caused, but when he heard this tone, his heart trembled, and he slowly rubbed into the hall.

It's a big gathering of concubines!

Not only are the concubines at today's banquet present, but even a few unfavored ones are also present.

Everyone was half-covered with handkerchiefs, crying, and the only one who didn't cry was the Empress Dowager Liu, who was sitting on the throne in the middle, her face was as black as the night, and her face was full of anger.

"The concubine has seen the queen mother." Han Shanggong knelt on the ground at a loss and greeted him in a trembling voice.

"Okay, you Han Zhi, you say, who instructed you to do such evil things, are we all dead, can you become the emperor's favorite?" Concubine Ying raised her face and was the first to shout.

Han Zhi glanced at her, her heart trembled, and her left eye was blood-red, as if she had some kind of eye disease.

Han Zhi peeked at the concubines present, and most of them had this symptom in their eyes.

"Han Zhi, how do you do things! If you say that you are deliberate, you have really wronged you, but you are also too careless, a small kaleidoscope actually caused more than a dozen concubines in the palace to contract eye diseases together.

Over the years, the blame mourning family is too indulgent to your palace bureau, so that you always have nothing to fear, and you usually cause a little trouble and a little mess.

You see, no, it's finally a big disaster, Emperor Ming'er is open an altar to worship, and all the concubines have to follow suit, how do you let this group of red-eyed rabbits see people? ”

Empress Dowager Liu said in a heavy tone, and the eyes that came out of her eyes were clearly murderous.

"Wronged, old ancestor, ask the old ancestor to learn from it, even if you borrow a hundred dares from your concubines, you don't dare to do such a big rebellious thing."

Han Zhi kowtowed heavily and shouted loudly.

"I can't help you shout indiscriminately, it's all your kaleidoscope that is to blame, all the sisters who have seen that kaleidoscope have become red-eyed rabbits!

If I hadn't figured out what was going on, I would have tried my maidservant, and I wouldn't have known that it was you who caused it, and I thought it was some kind of evil infectious disease. Concubine Ying sneered.

"No, it won't be like this, this kaleidoscope concubine has also seen it, and she won't get any eye diseases at all." Han Shanggong's heart was very anxious, and he said loudly.

"Come on, call in a few palace maids outside the hall who are not sick." Concubine Ying said loudly.

After a while, several palace maids lined up and walked in, and Mama Jiang handed the kaleidoscope on the table to the leader and asked them to look at it in turn.

After reading them all, the palace maid who watched it for the first time already had red eyes.

Empress Dowager Liu sneered: "Han Zhi, what else do you want to say?" ”

"The Queen Mother Mingjian! The slave really doesn't know what's going on, a kaleidoscope, it's impossible for the girls to get eye diseases, there must be someone making trouble among them. ”

Han Shanggong collapsed to the ground and said in despair.

Qin Fenghe, the imperial doctor of the Imperial Hospital, may lead in with a medicine box on his back.

Empress Dowager Liu stood up and asked, "How is the situation of Concubine Xian, she is the heaviest here, can her eyes still see?" ”

"The Queen Mother is relieved, although her eyes are red, but there is no big problem, the ministers have already prescribed medicine, and the major cleansing will be done once in the morning, noon and evening, and it will be recovered in about three or four days."

"It's so good, quickly prescribe the prescription, and we can go back and wash it, this is like a rabbit, who can stand it." Concubine Ying followed and said.

Empress Dowager Liu glanced at her, made her quiet, and asked again: "Old Qin, do you know why the concubines contracted this eye disease?" ”

Concubine Ying hurriedly pointed to the kaleidoscope on the table and said, "It's this thing, I'm tired of Lord Qin to take a look, we all looked at this thing, our eyes were uncomfortable, and they began to turn red." ”

Qin Feng asked the Queen Mother, picked up the kaleidoscope in the past, looked at it twice, and then leaned under his nose and sniffed it, and after a long time, he nodded and smiled:

"I see, where did this thing come from? The minister already knew the reason for the blushing eyes of the girls. ”
