Seeing that Zhou Meiren was proud, Chen Qiyun's eyes were quenched with poison, and he said with a smile: "Zhou Meiren is really virtuous." ”

After pondering carefully, it was particularly interesting, His Majesty returned late at night, without food on an empty stomach, and the queen mother did not think of arranging food, but she was a little beauty and boldly ran to offer food.

said that it was virtuous, but it set off that the queen was not virtuous.

Zhou Meiren was not stupid, she reacted immediately, knelt down and said, "Queen Mother, the concubine just happened to meet." ”

Chen Qiyun smiled and waited for Zhong Weiwei's reaction, this is not a good person, Zhou Meiren is willing to make the first bird, so do it.

Zhong Weiwei smiled faintly and motioned to Rouge to help Zhou Meiren up: "Very good, this palace is raising a fetus, and many things are inevitably negligent, it is a good thing that you can share your worries for this palace." ”

Zhou Meiren's eyes lit up, and she was relieved: "The queen mother is virtuous and generous, and no one in the harem can match it." ”

The implication is that Chen Qiyun is just a concubine, but when she steps on luck, she can have the opportunity to take care of the harem, where can she be compared with the mother of the main palace.

Chen Qiyun smiled incorrectly, got up and saluted everyone: "The queen is virtuous and generous, and no one in the harem can match." ”

Zhong Weiwei calmly bowed down and said, "The food is cold, eat first." ”

Everyone bowed their heads to eat again, thinking differently, all thinking about how to compete for beauty and take this opportunity to win the grace of the king.

After the meal was finished, Zhong Weiwei encouraged everyone a few words, hinting that Zhou Meiren was virtuous, and she wanted to discuss with His Majesty and give Zhou Meiren a promotion.

Another pebble hit the water, causing another wave of concussions.

Zhou Meiren couldn't believe it, but the corners of her lips turned up uncontrollably, feeling that her luck was probably starting to improve. The palace concubines are envious and vigilant, and they always feel that the queen is holding back her big moves.

Zhong Weiwei didn't care at all, and mentioned with a smile the rebellion of King Wu, the war between Li and Dongling, and then said that the treasury was empty, and it was necessary to cut expenditures, up and down, starting from the palace, she wanted to cut a group of palace people before the year, and needed the support of all palaces.

The palace concubines hesitated, they usually have nothing to do, only the fun of saving money and enjoying happiness is left, if the people who serve are cut, won't life be difficult?

Everyone was silent, Zhong Weiwei was not in a hurry, and asked Chen Qiyun with a smile: "What do you think, Concubine Gong?" ”

Chen Qiyun gritted his teeth and thought about borrowing the power in his hands, how to pretend to be a public servant and privately clean up the little slut Zhou Meiren, and was suddenly named by Zhong Weiwei, startled, and echoed without thinking: "The queen mother is sharing worries for Your Majesty, worrying about the country and the people, and the concubines naturally want to be the only ones who want to be the first to look forward." ”

Zhong Weiwei smiled and looked at Zhou Meiren again: "If this palace has not been mistaken, Zhou Meiren's father and brother are military generals, I heard that Your Majesty intends to let your father and brother lead the troops to quell the rebellion, is there such a thing?" ”

Zhou Meicai has just received the grace, and there is a father and brother to lead the troops, so she should naturally set an example, and immediately came out to show that she is also willing to cut the amount of people she uses and serves, although it is a drop in the bucket, but it is also a piece of loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness.

Zhong Weiwei took the lead in applauding: "It's really good, worthy of the tiger girl, who understands righteousness, is hearty and loyal, and should really reward you." ”

She tried her best to lift Zhou Meiren, and the smile on Chen Qiyun's face became more and more faint, and she was very restless and red.

Seeing the general trend, the others did not dare to be the one who dragged their feet, lest they fall into a hat of disloyalty, filial piety, benevolence and injustice, so they also reluctantly expressed their attitude.

That's half done.

Xiaotang conveyed Zhong Weiwei's decree and ordered the palaces to send over the roster of people to be kept and those to be cut within three days after they returned, and dismissed everyone.

Rouge didn't understand: "If all the palaces are like Zhou Meiren, they don't keep their duties and run to the side of the road to guard to bring food and soup to His Majesty, wouldn't it be a mess of the rules?" ”

Zhong Weiwei said lightly: "If it is not broken, it will not stand." Then he stopped talking, sat down at the window, and played chess with his left and right hands.

Rouge didn't understand, Xiaotang was also a little ignorant, Aunt Qian hated that iron could not become steel, so she called the two of them together and whispered.

Since ancient times, I have never seen an emperor favor one person, but anyone who favors one person will be regarded as breaking the rules.

What happened to Zhong Weiwei's sister and brother seemed to be accidental, it was the Hu family who was about to make a move and took the initiative to provoke, but in fact it was not, but she challenged the rules, so she became the target of public criticism.

There is no Hu family this time, and there will be Zhang family and Li family in the future. The best thing to do is to break the rules and re-establish them.

What Zhou Meiren did, if you really investigate it, is just a bold and guarded the road, otherwise the palace concubines will send food and clothing to His Majesty the Emperor, that is their duty.

Impose and suppress, there is no benefit at all, it is better to lift up. First, it can appease the soldiers who are fighting abroad, which is why His Majesty did not reprimand Zhou Meiren, but let people accept food.

The second is that the wood is beautiful in the forest, and it will be destroyed by the wind. Zhou Meiren wants to take her head, so let her take the lead, naturally some people can't get used to cleaning her up.

Zhong Weiwei is pregnant, and if she is caught in the battle of the inner palace again, she basically has no time to do something serious and big, and it is very wasteful, which is not conducive to long-term planning.

Xiaotang understands everything, this harem is also like a government, Chen Qiyun is dominant, which is not conducive to balance, lifting Zhou Meiren up, fighting on both sides, the middle palace is just detached, controlling the overall situation, and it is much safer.

Rouge still didn't understand a little, Aunt Qian concluded: "In a word, let those who love to fight fight, try to be clean, and the mother just needs to do the right thing." ”

Rouge said embarrassedly: "Then what if they are blessed with holy grace?" ”

"Do what you have to do, stupid!" Xiaotang slapped her on the head, heard someone outside, walked out to take a look, and was happy: "Niangniang, Uncle Guo is here to greet you." ”

Qiu Yuan was neatly dressed, walked in with a smile, and saluted: "The minister asked the mother to say goodbye, so that the mother is worried." ”

Zhong Weiwei's mood really improved: "It's good to come back, come, play chess with me." ”

The two sisters and brothers bowed their heads to play chess and gossip, but they also enjoyed themselves.

At lunchtime, Zhong Weiwei left the autumn jacket to eat, and ordered someone to carefully prepare lunch and send it to Chonghua.

Qiu Hao knew that she was busy, so she got up and said: "There is no one in the house to take care of, I have to go and see, I won't leave lunch, if Sister Ah is energetic, it is better to personally send food to His Majesty, and take a walk by yourself, the snow scene is very beautiful." ”

"It's fine." Zhong Weiwei got up and put on a fox fur, and when he didn't see Qiu Yuan's movements, he asked, "Why don't you leave?" ”

Qiu Yuan twisted it and said in a low voice: "I want to ask Sister for one thing, whether Lu Huanting is exiled or sold, I am afraid that she will not be able to live, can she not be allowed to enter the court and do hard labor?" ”
