Chapter One Hundred and Ninety-One: Gift-giving
Zhang sat behind the dragon case, looked at the five-flowered Guan Jinu, and sighed deeply.
Standing calmly beside Zhang, crying pear blossoms with rain, reviewing his mistakes, he was really blind, and he actually regarded General Guan as an assassin.
"Your Majesty, the general, he has no intention of hurting me, otherwise how can a big brother who is a florist be able to subdue him?" Calmly sobbing and pleading for the slave.
Guan Ji's eyes were full of anger, and he wanted to speak, but he shut up, with an indescribable anger on his face.
"Your Majesty, the general should hate me, it's not good for me to be in the first place, if I don't make trouble that night, the queen will not be guilty of it." Calmly and timidly spoke, his eyes looked at the Guan Jien slave in the center of the ground like a blade.
The slave hung his head heavily, remorseful in his heart.
He already knew that he was not this woman's opponent, but he was unwilling, he always wanted to fight with her, and today he originally thought that if he didn't succeed, it would be a big deal if the fish died and the net was broken, and everyone couldn't survive.
But in the end, it was this woman who won, and he couldn't break the net if he wanted to, so he could only get into her net and be at her mercy.
I'm afraid the emperor won't believe a word of what he says now.
"Guan Jinu, what do you want to sneak into Fengqi Palace?" Zhang asked him in a cold tone.
Guan Jinu squinted his eyes, with a look of remorse: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, the minister originally wanted to sneak into Niangniang's Fengqi Palace, and beg her to say a few words for Guan Rong in front of you, so as to avoid her capital crime."
Who ever wanted to be mistaken by Niangniang for an assassin, Niangniang opened her mouth to scream, and the criminal minister was afraid of attracting the guards so he stepped forward to cover Niangniang's mouth, who knew that the window was open, and the gardener who was planting flowers outside the window saw it, jumped in from the window, and knocked the minister to the ground,
The minister wanted to distinguish, but the mother shouted out, and the guards rushed in and arrested the minister. ”
"Ridiculous! Don't you know about the sins you have committed, and how can it be useful to ask a little concubine, are you dizzy? Zhang shouted angrily.
"Your Majesty, all the mistakes are the fault of the concubines, please let the general go, he also loves his daughter very much, and his behavior is a little too radical, but it is inevitable, please ask the emperor to be gracious." Calm down.
Zhang sighed, looked at her twice, and nodded: "Since Concubine Ai doesn't care about him, then I will be a favor and let him go, just remember, if you dare to trespass into the harem in the future, I will immediately divide you into five knives!" ”
Guan Ji Nuno said yes.
Zhang ordered the guards to loosen his ties, and taught him a few words of loyalty and patriotism before ordering him to go out.
"Your Majesty, fortunately there is a big brother gardener, otherwise the concubine would not have been able to see the emperor again." Calmly leaned on Zhang's shoulder, patting his chest, with a scared look.
Zhang hugged her tightly and smiled a little sadly: "I know that I have wronged you, you have always recognized the general situation, and refused to embarrass me, I have all this in mind, you say, whatever reward you want, I will satisfy you." ”
"Brother Florist, a thousand silver, is it okay to let him out of the palace? He is my savior, and I don't want to let him be my next person. Calmly rubbed Zhang's face and smiled.
"Yes, I will reward him with a few acres of land, let him plant flowers and plants, and supply the needs of the palace?" Zhang nodded and smiled.
"Your Majesty." Calmly walk down the stairs and give thanks.

"You want to chase me away?" Sima Nan held the flower sickle in his hand and opened his mouth in pain.
"Yes." Calmly answered.
"I'm not leaving, I'm trying to buy people from the Flower Supervision Bureau to come in, just to guard you and don't want you to do stupid things." Sima Nandao.
"It's late." Calmly answered.
"Isn't it okay to just go on like this? He's nice to you, I can see that. Sima Nandao.
"Not good." Calmly answered.
"What the hell do you want to do! You can't do it, don't be delusional. Sima Nan's eyes were full of pain.
"Is it true that if I do it, you will rise up in the name of the heir of the first emperor and destroy me?" Calm sneer.
"That position is not easy to do, the first emperor is an example!" Sima Nan roared.
Calm and sneered: "The first emperor is not good, that's because of you, if it weren't for the first emperor who loves you, he would have done very well, and he would have been a saint." ”
Sima Nan let out a low groan in pain, and smashed his fist on the pillar beside him, and the dust fell from the beam, losing his calm eyes.
"Brother Gardener is practicing the handles?" The laughing man walked into the hall with a large square plate covered with a red cloth and laughed softly.
Sima Nan stepped aside and lowered his head.
"What's that?" Walk over calmly.
The laughing man put the plate on the table and lifted the cloth from it, revealing a plate of jewels, shining brightly.
"You pick a few things you like, and give them the rest." Glancing calmly, uninterested, he said lazily.
The laughing man glanced at the gardener and smiled bitterly: "I forgot, he is deaf and dumb, so there is no need to be afraid of him." ”
"What's the matter?" Calm's eyelids jumped.
The laughing man sighed: "I went to get the reward, and I heard from the people in Jingyue Palace that the Queen Mother has already found a candidate for the new queen, and it will be announced in a few days." ”
Calm as if turning into a piece of ice, the whole body exuded coldness, and asked in a cold tone: "Don't you talk nonsense?" How could it be so fast? ”
"It shouldn't be nonsense, it's Gonggong Li who said this, Gonggong Li is the most proud person in front of the Queen Mother, he said it like this, I'm afraid it didn't mean to let the wind out first, so that everyone can be prepared and ready to welcome the new queen?" Laugh humanely.
"Who is the new queen?" Calmly asked.
The laughing man straightened his eyes: "This is hearsay, everyone guessed it, the Queen Mother summoned General Qian's wife into the palace two days ago, and the two talked in the inner room for more than an hour, and when they came out, the Queen Mother personally sent Mrs. Qian out of the palace gate."
I'm afraid I don't like his daughter? ”
"General Qian? That Qian Zhongmo who led the Northwest Army? Calmly asked.
The laughing man nodded, but said with a smile: "It's him, but this news may not be true, the slave maid has seen the girl of his family, who is stupid and ugly, where is the material to be a queen." ”
"Whether you can be a queen or not is not in yourself, but in your family background." Calmly sneered.
The laughing man was about to speak, but he saw Dayong running in, and replied with a smile: "Niangniang, there is a little eunuch from the procurement office, and I have to see Niangniang in person." ”
"It's finally here." calmly looked pale, walked out, took the little eunuch to the side hall, and sent him out in person.
"What a big burden, what did the mother buy?" The laughing man asked.
Calm did not answer, and walked into the side hall, and told the laughing man to look at the door, someone came and only said that she was not there, and all returned, and the laughing man agreed, sat on the steps of the door, and guarded the door of the hall without leaving an inch.
After two or three hours, the calm party came out of the side hall, but the smell on his body was indescribable.
"Mother, the slave maid asked someone to fetch water for you to bathe." The laughing man said softly.
Calmly responded, he walked into the dormitory, took off his coat, sat on a chair, and waited for the water to take a bath.
Sima Nan skipped out from behind the pillar and said in a low voice: "What are you going to do?" ”
"I can't do it." Calm and cold opening.
"What are you doing with those dead people's bones?" Sima Nan spoke again.
Calmly glanced at him and shrugged: "You spy on me?" ”
Sima Nan was noncommittal.
"It seems that your martial arts have improved, if you are still so godly, help you do something." Calmly stared at his face.
"What's the matter?" He asked.
"Go and bury these dead people's bones in the backyard of Jingyue Palace." Calm down.
Sima Nan jumped out of the window without looking back.
"Be careful." Calm words blurted out, but I don't know if he could hear them.
She didn't want him to go, she was just talking, she had a hundred ways to bury those bones in the backyard of Jingyue Palace.
But seeing him at this moment, she wanted to be angry with him so much, and wanted him to give up his current proposition and leave the palace.
"Niangniang, the dim sum made for the Queen Mother was delivered." Da walked in with a brocade box in his hand and replied with a smile.
Calmly nodded, took the box, opened it and took a look, these palace cooks' hands were indeed skillful, she just drew a pattern, and they could make it exactly like it.
The colored snacks look small and exquisite, and all kinds of flowers are vivid, and they are cute.
"It's such a beautiful dim sum, it's strange that the lady is going to supervise the kitchen in person, can you reward a slave?" Da looked at it with envy, and begged with a flattering smile.
Calmly closed the box: "Wait for the next pot, get the next pot back, the people in our yard will divide it, take as much as you like." ”
Dayong responded with a smile and withdrew.
After taking a bath calmly, he changed into his usual clothes, and came to Jingyue Palace with a brocade box in his hand.
Empress Dowager Guan had just finished arranging the Buddha, sitting on a chair eating tea, and when she saw her holding a big brocade box, she smiled and said, "This is a gift for the mourning family?" But it's rare, put it down quickly, and let the mourning family take a look. ”
Calmly put the box down and open it.
Empress Dowager Guan took a look and exclaimed: "You can think of such meticulous thoughts." ”
"The Queen Mother takes one and tastes it, how does it taste?" Calmly chuckled.
Empress Dowager Guan glanced at her suspiciously, picked up one, took a bite, nodded again and again, ate a peony pattern, and picked up a peony pattern and sent it to her mouth, ate half of it, but covered her mouth and smiled: "You little hoof, but the first day you entered the palace, don't even forget the rules, make it so delicious but don't come to harm me?" ”
"Niangniang, the rules and concubines understand, the nature of filial piety to you is different from the outside, and the ones outside are not tasteful, but the style is the same." Smiled calmly.
"Little slut, let's talk about it, what's the matter with the mourning family?" Empress Dowager Guan picked up another snack, measured it in front of her eyes for a long time, and then sent it to her mouth.
"It's nothing, I have nothing to do for a long time, I just go to the imperial kitchen to make some snacks and coax the queen mother and the emperor to be happy." Calmly sat down in the chair and smiled lazily.
Empress Dowager Guan picked up a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, and her face became serious: "Lie, now that the queen's position is vacant, the gifts they have sent everywhere have already been sent like a marquee, and there are all kinds of things,
But you don't have the heart to send it, your thoughts, and the mourning family also understands. ”
"Niangniang, you really misunderstand the concubine, the concubine doesn't have that kind of mind, if you really have that kind of mind, the request is not the queen mother, you will go to the emperor, don't you say?" Smiled calmly.
Empress Dowager Guan was stunned for a moment, picked up a piece of dim sum and played with it in her hand, and asked her again: "Then what do you want to do, you don't want to make me happy, just to make me an old man happy?" ”
Calm and change the grievances on her face: "Niangniang's words can be calm, calm is to coax your old man to be happy, not only made these snacks, but also want to hold a bonfire party in your Jingyue Palace." ”
