Zhuang Siyan asked them about something, and he didn't mean to scare her, so he asked her to kneel slightly, then got up, and called for a seat.

She still smiled on her face, and the corners of her eyes lit up: "I heard early in the morning that Mrs. Meng was a rare beauty in the capital in the early years, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary. ”

Mrs. Meng wanted to kneel down again, but was stopped by Zhuang Siyan: "Today it is said that it is the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, but in fact, this harem is bleak, and there is really nothing fun, so I invited all the ladies and ladies to come and have a lively time, so Mrs. Meng should not bow at every turn, and make it the same as the court in front of her, how can it still be lively?" ”

When she said this, she finally made Mrs. Meng relax a little, but after all, it was the queen who sat on it, and she didn't dare to be presumptuous.

The two chatted without a word.

The idleness between the nobles is not just listening to the truth from these gossip, unless that person is shrewd enough to see Zhuang Siyan's purpose at a glance, and obviously does not cooperate, generally speaking, he can provide her with some information, how many questions are there.

No, from Mrs. Meng, she really heard that the officials were indeed taken care of by Ling Tiancheng.

It's nothing special, just like what he said to Zhuang Siyan, she can use the silver in it casually.

So Mrs. Meng envied her with her real name.

Originally, it was enough to make women blush after being a country, but the emperor only favored her from beginning to end, which made people even more popular.

Now even the keys to the treasury are given to her, and she can use them as she pleases.

How much silver is in it, if you don't do anything every day, you can play for a year just by sitting and counting the silver, how can you not be envied?

Mrs. Meng can be regarded as having seen the world, and she was born in a scholarly family, and she has not read a lot since she was a child, even if she has heard of the harem doing politics, she has never heard of any emperor giving the treasury to the harem.

So between the words with Zhuang Siyan, the kind of doubts and envy that came out of my heart couldn't be stopped.

Zhuang Siyan was generous and asked her: "It's nothing, I only have a mouth and a body, how much silver can I use to eat and sleep, and there is a case of silver in the palace, and the emperor has a reward, the key is just a small piece of iron for me, and it is useless." ”

She turned her head around, and suddenly looked at Mrs. Meng and asked, "However, it does look spectacular inside, if Mrs. Meng wants to go in and have a look, this palace can take you in." ”

When she said this, her tone was relaxed, as if she really didn't think that the silver vault was a place that could not be visited, as if it was an ordinary person's vegetable garden, and anyone who wanted to visit it should just talk to her.

But Mrs. Meng is not a fool, this kind of headless thing, even if she is curious and rises to the sky, she will not really go to see it.

After refusing, Zhuang Siyan saw that the beads of sweat on her head were oozing out, and she knew that she was also scared, so she went back.

The Ministry of Officials is mainly for this year's scientific expedition, but it is obvious that Ke Zhicheng's wife is much smarter than Master Meng's wife.

No matter what Zhuang Siyan asked, she only said one word, she only took care of the affairs of the backyard of the house, and she didn't know anything about the affairs of the lord in the court.

These deep house wives are sometimes sleek, and there is no way to do it.

Anyway, Zhuang Siyan didn't know about Ke, he just wanted to test them, so he didn't embarrass her too much, and after a few casual chats, he let her out.

The wife of the chamberlain Han Ying is also very stable, and her age is there, almost sixty years old.

At her age, she is already a grandmother in the house, but her eldest daughter is not seventeen or eighteen years old.

It looks like a grandchild with her, not like a mother and daughter.

But Mrs. Han was very smart, and when she saw Zhuang Siyan's eyes turn to her daughter, she immediately explained: "The old woman has four sons, so she has such a daughter, she is the youngest, she is inevitably pampered at home, and her brothers also spoil her everywhere, if there is an unruly place in the palace, I hope the queen will forgive." ”

The pearl of people's palms, when it comes to her, they don't dare to use the word "advice" here, they only dare to use forgiveness, this is not an obvious statement, in case Han Jiao has something to offend, as the queen, you will be a large adult, don't worry about her, as for discipline or something, people will go home and solve it by themselves.

Zhuang Siyan glanced at Han Jiao, she was really a delicate and expensive eldest lady, and she couldn't afford to provoke her.

Then he turned to Mrs. Han and said: "Scholar Han is an old woman, she should be spoiled, a few days ago, the palace received a batch of fine silk, the color is bright, and it looks like Miss Han's skin color also matches, I will ask Ping'er to bring two horses over in a while, and you can bring them back." ”

Mrs. Han hurriedly knelt down and thanked her.

But Miss Han stood still, only looking at Zhuang Siyan with her eyes.

Mrs. Han ripped her clothes and said in front of Zhuang Siyan, "Jiao'er, you have to kneel down and thank the queen mother." ”

How do you know that Han Jiao not only didn't listen to her, but said: "People outside say that the queen mother is not smiling, she is an iron-masked person, why do I look very good at talking, not like others say?" ”

Zhuang Siyan chuckled: "Really? Is there still a legend of Hongu outside? ”

Han Jiao immediately said: "Not only that, but there are a lot of them, I heard that recently the emperor even gave you an extra key to the silver vault, but is it true?" ”

Zhuang Siyan even raised his eyebrows: "It's true." ”

Han Jiao: "It seems that the emperor really loves the queen!" ”

It is obvious to all, Zhuang Siyan was not modest, but said with a smile: "Miss Han is so cute, I like it." ”

Strictly speaking, this sentence is not a good word, a young lady in a big portal, if she is a teenager, she is really cute, and she is quite acceptable.

But Han Jiao is like this, obviously she is almost at the age of marriage, she doesn't know the rules, and she talks to the queen so straightforwardly, fortunately, she met Zhuang Siyan, if she meets someone who loves to set rules, just talking like this, she can completely lose her father's official position.

Although Mrs. Han is shrewd, she is too doting, and she knows that her daughter is not doing it right, but she is reluctant to say a few words about her, and only blindly asks for tolerance from Zhuang Siyan.

Zhuang Siyan was amused in his heart, but he said: "Mrs. Han is really worried, this palace really likes her temperament, and she is just idle and bored these days, if Mrs. Han is willing, can she let Miss Han stay in the palace for two days, and be my companion?" ”

The daughter of a foreign minister, who has no direct relatives with the queen, wants to stay in the harem for the night, how big is it?

When Mrs. Han heard this, she immediately refused.

Zhuang Siyan's reputation to the outside world is really not good, how can there be no concubines in the harem, although she has a clear conscience, she can't stop other people's disgusting speculation, and these women in the deep house are the most able to think of women in a bad way.

So Mrs. Han even realized the danger, for fear that her daughter would not return.

But before she finished her sentence, Han Jiao herself spoke first: "Mother, I also think that the queen is amiable, unlike what outsiders say, it is good to stay for two days, and I will be fine for these days." ”

Even Ping'er, who was a palace maid, was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and was busy looking at Zhuang Siyan's face.

It's a pity that she didn't see any dissatisfaction on her master's face, and only listened to her instructions: "Ping'er, pass my word and clean up the Lecheng Palace next to Lingshuang Pavilion."

Come, stay with Miss Han. ”

Ping'er went to pass the word on her own.

Mrs. Han is really at a loss here, she wants her daughter to change her mind, but looking at it like that, she usually spoils too much, and she has nowhere to persuade her.

And Zhuang Siyan here, not to mention, she can still force the queen to drive her daughter out.

If she did, maybe she would be distressed again.

It is not an empty phrase that loving mothers have many defeated children, but it is still very practical in many places.

Therefore, after the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet, the ministers and their families returned, and Mrs. Han was reluctant to give up, but her daughter happily followed the palace maid to Lecheng Palace.

Zhuang Siyan didn't go to talk to Han Jiao that night, but only ordered the palace maid to take care of her, basically to meet any of her requests, including visiting the entire harem.

Han Ying is a bachelor in Zhongshu Province, and he has his own status in the Dasheng Dynasty, and he is a low-key person, but he is very capable.

Normally, he doesn't talk much, but if he opens his mouth, then this matter will be more biased towards him.

This person is also loyal, so he is very much used by Ling Tiancheng, and now he will basically ask his opinion on major events in the DPRK and China.

In addition to these, Han Ying is also very capable in other aspects, such as having children.

He is only a wife, and he has four sons and a daughter, not to mention the sons and daughters in the side room, I heard that there are more than a dozen large and small.

The most important thing is that with so many children, wives and concubines, he can still maintain the peace of the inner house.

It can be seen that a man still has to develop in an all-round way, but it is not enough to have a successful career, and if the backyard catches fire every once in a while, he can't purify his heart.

Of course, Mrs. Han is indispensable in this.

Zhuang Siyan listened to the news from the little eunuch from outside, and couldn't help laughing: "In this way, this Lord Han is really a capable person. ”

The little eunuch didn't dare to respond, and he didn't know whether she meant good or derogatory in what she said, so she just finished her own things and retreated.

Zhuang Siyan asked Ping'er: "What is Miss Han doing now?" ”

Ping'er had just come back from Lecheng Palace, and when she saw that there was a little eunuch in charge, she didn't come in, and when she heard her asked, she hurriedly said, "Let people take it to the Imperial Garden." ”

Zhuang Siyan glanced outside: "It's dark, what's there to see in the Imperial Garden at this time?" You go to the Internal Affairs Office to say something, see if there are any fresh flowers, and send a few pots directly to Lecheng Palace. ”

As soon as her words fell, she heard someone outside reply: "You are generous, you usually don't command this in your palace, but how is it good to an outsider?" ”

Zhuang Siyan turned his head to look at the door, and saw Ling Tiancheng coming in, so he pouted and replied to him: "Of course I have to be generous, the emperor has given me the key to the treasury, I have to be stingy again, there are more people gossiping about me outside." ”

Ling Tiancheng looked at her face and asked, "Are you still angry?" ”

"Don't dare." Simply turned his face away and stopped looking at him.

But looking at the emperor's appearance, he seemed to be in a very good mood tonight, and he didn't care about her, and after sitting down opposite her, he also took a piece of moon cake on the table and ate it.

Then he praised: "This is good, you like it." ”

Zhuang Siyan also glanced at the moon cakes, and asked angrily: "Yes, the imperial dining room specially sent it, saying that you asked me to confess, but I have been eating this kind of food recently, and I am tired of eating it." ”

Ling Tian put down the moon cake in his hand after setting up his horse: "That's right, I have some you haven't eaten there, now go over, just eat while admiring the moon." ”
