Chapter 25: The master is too good
The people sent by Concubine Rong arrived at the cold palace almost at the same time as Zhuang Siyan and them.
This time he was much more polite, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and gave the things rewarded by the concubine, and said a few polite words, and then left.
Concubine Rong's status is much higher than Zhuang Siyan's, and it is not uncommon to be rewarded with something.
The crux of the matter is that she didn't reward it before, but rewarded it at this moment, which has no deep meaning.
However, there are too many things about Zhuang Siyan at this time, Zhou Liping is also standing in the courtyard, and she is still holding Lan Xin, who has already applied medicine, so she has no time to pay attention to them.
After sending Lan Xin back to the house, she didn't bother to check the list, anyway, there were many things, and it didn't matter if there were one or two things less, so she let everyone move into the house.
She pulled Zhou Liping aside and said, "Father-in-law Zhou, I have something I want to ask you for help." ”
"Oh Niangniang, what do you have to say, even if you tell you, as long as the slave can do it, you will be smeared on the ground, what to say, what help, isn't this tormenting the slave?"
Zhuang Siyan rolled his eyes at the sky: "Okay, okay, don't say that polite word." Let me ask you, have you been to every place in this palace? ”
Zhou Liping thought for a while: "It's almost, only ......." ”
"Alright, can you draw me a picture of the place you've been? By the way, tell me who lives in which places.
You said that I have been in this palace for so long, and I don't know anything, it's not good after all, I used to live in the cold palace, and I was waiting for death, so that's it.
Now the Queen Mother is pitiful and good to me, you said that if someone comes, I don't know who the person is, it's always not good, and then someone else comes, I don't have to go over? Isn't it right to come and not be rude? ”
Zhuang Siyan tried her best to rationalize her request, so that even if something really happened to Lan Guiren in the near future, no one would suspect her.
Zhou Liping also felt reasonable when he heard this, but according to common sense, after the concubine entered the palace, someone took them to various palaces.
Of course, these questions only flashed in his mind, and it was an incomparable honor to serve his favored master, and he would not be stupid enough to ask again.
"Niangniang, the slave doesn't have such a good hand, and he can't draw the situation in our palace, but the slave has a few good palace people in his hand, and they have been in the palace for some years.
Not only do they know the location and masters of each palace, but they also know some taboos, so why don't you ask them to serve Niangniang, what do you think? ”
"Reliable." Zhuang Siyan immediately made a decision and asked Zhou Liping to bring his people over.
Speaking of which, these palace people were sent by Ling Tiancheng to Li Fu before, and they were rejected by Zhuang Siyan, and at this time, after Zhou Liping said it, she accepted them all.
Zhou Liping's heart was bubbling with beauty, and as soon as the palace people sent it, he was busy going to Ling Tiancheng to report.
"Well, that's a good job, reward." Ling Tiancheng raised his head from the bookcase and glanced at Zhou Liping.
The head of the Internal Affairs Office is almost faint.
Since the new emperor ascended the throne, their internal affairs office has been an errand to listen to orders, and usually don't say that they don't have the opportunity to see the emperor, even if they do, the emperor doesn't have time to look at them.
This week, when Liping thought of Ling Tiancheng's cold face, he felt that his head would fall to the ground one day, and with this level of disattention, it was only a matter of time before it was replaced.
I didn't expect to come today, just saying that it was a matter of returning to Zhuang Cairen, and I was allowed to enter the Chenxi Palace?
The emperor glanced at him just now, and there was even a reward?
He came out of it for a long time, and he felt as if his feet were stepping into cotton, and the stars kept popping up in front of him, and there were dreams everywhere.
It seems that in the future, I will often go to the cold palace to walk, this is the shortest way to the emperor's heart.
The person who was full of the palace turned out to be the head of the inner mansion, and he first penetrated Ling Tiancheng's heart, and he really did his best and did his best.
While he was excited, he didn't forget to explain to those palace people, he must work hard to serve this new master, dare to make any mistakes, and his life will collapse.
Those palace people have been following Zhuang Siyan for a long time, but they are confused.
Because she was different from all her masters, she didn't call them together for questioning, nor did she give them a lesson and a warning.
He only raised his hand and plucked it: "You two are guarding the door, someone has come to report."
The two of you go to the house to take care of Lan Xin and make sure she is well fed and clothed.
For the rest, see where the sun is good, just sit and bask for a while, and I will call you again if there is something. ”
They're all stunned, okay?
Where is there a master who lets his servants go to bask in the sun? Unless it's a hot day, it's time for punishment.
The little eunuch couldn't help it, and said worriedly: "Manager Zhou, do you say that she is a talented person in this Zhuang ......." ”
Zhou Liping stretched out his hand and gave him a popping chestnut: "Isn't it what?" Stupid, then do you have the share of talking about the master behind your back?
Keep your mouth shut, your hands and feet are sharp, in short, you can do whatever your mother tells you to do?
Can't you do the job of basking in the sun? Do you want me to teach you? ”
The four eunuchs and the four palace maids were busy responding: "Yes, yes, there is no need for general discipline." ”
After a busy day, because of Lan Xin's injury, Zhuang Siyan was in no mood to do anything else.
only sorted out the things sent by Zhou Liping in the house, and took out some casually and rewarded them to the new palace maid and eunuch.
These people were all sent from the palace, and it is impossible to say that they are desperate for her all of a sudden, and it is difficult to say whether it is someone else's eyeliner.
But Zhuang Siyan didn't want them to die to themselves, they just used it at this time, so they had to give back the money they should give.
After all, money can make ghosts grind!
The palace maid and eunuch who received the reward were going crazy.
What kind of master is this, who didn't let them do anything for a day, and there was a reward when they came?
Aren't they dreaming, how could they meet such a good master?
Of course, some people think that Zhuang Cairen may be a pustule, otherwise how could he be beaten into the cold palace?
The current grace may not have come about, they should also be more careful, don't get much benefit at that time, but lose their lives.
Each has his own thoughts, each with his own ghost.
That night, the cold palace was unusually calm.
Early the next morning, Zhuang Siyan got up early, put on a strong suit, and ran around the palace first, only to see a little eunuch open the door and come out.
The little eunuch was still confused, and when he saw someone running in circles in the palace, he was stunned, and then recognized that it was Zhuang Siyan.
Frightened legs shook and knelt down: "Say hello to Niangniang." ”
Zhuang Siyan didn't stop: "Get up, tell them to get up too, get some food, and we'll go out for a walk in a while." ”
As he spoke, the man had already run away.
This cold palace also has an advantage, big, empty, there are few people in it, there is little room and big space, if you live here with a heavy heart, you may be more panicked by the empty atmosphere.
For Zhuang Siyan, it was just enough for her to show her skills.
After running around the palace wall a few times and coming back, the cold had already dissipated, and he was sweating.
The palace maid over there also made breakfast, and thoughtfully ordered a large bucket of hot water for her.
Hey, in ancient times, when nothing was developed, there were still benefits to having more people.
Zhuang Siyan thought while pouring hot water on himself, and his mouth was still humming an out-of-tune song.
After taking a hot bath comfortably, and having a full breakfast, Zhuang Siyan picked two palace maids and two eunuchs to start a day trip to the palace.
The rest remained in the cold palace, taking care of Lan Xin, plus basking in the sun.
In order to avenge the revenge of the Lan nobles, Zhuang Siyan also worked hard, his legs were weak, and he had to go through the entire palace, and at the same time he had to deal with the overload of brain capacity.
Because from the mouths of these palace maids and eunuchs, she not only heard the situation of the palace concubines, but also a lot of gossip.
Zhuang Siyan used to be a private detective, and she used pure fire for the job of confession.
And the palace maids and eunuchs who followed her, seeing that the master was easy to talk to, said that they didn't blame them for anything, and they were very happy to listen to it, so they couldn't help but say a few more words, and they shook out when they said what they should say and what they shouldn't say.
So at the end of this day, Zhuang Siyan can be said to have gained a lot, and he came back at night to appreciate these palace people again.
There is credit for going out, and there is also credit for taking care of Lan Xin in the palace.
Anyway, the money comes from the palace, and when it is used on them, Zhuang Siyan is not distressed, but when she rewards it, it is all clearly said, what have you done, why should I reward you.
It also makes these people have a number in their hearts.
Their masters are not fools, but are rewarded for meritorious deeds, although the reward is a bit large.
In short, there was harmony in the cold palace, and the people in the main womb were very happy.
Zhuang Siyan's plan was also completed in this atmosphere of great joy.
This morning, a little eunuch from Lingshuang Pavilion ran out of it crying and crying, and happened to hit his head on Concubine Rong who happened to be passing by.
The little eunuch was suddenly frightened, and begged Concubine Rong to spare his life while wiping his tears.
Concubine Rong was in a hurry to go to the Empress Dowager An to ask for peace, and she didn't think about what a eunuch was crying about.
However, she has always liked to make a good name in the palace, and she didn't blame him, so she let him get up.
When he turned around to leave, he glanced around, but saw that the little eunuch's neck and hands were full of blood.
Because he came out of Lingshuang Pavilion, he naturally asked a few more questions.
Under this question, Concubine Rong couldn't hide the joy in her heart, and immediately made people look at the little eunuch, and she hurriedly walked to the palace of the Empress Dowager An.
So on this day, Concubine Rong routinely invited Anzhong, and Concubine Rong talked about this little eunuch intentionally or unintentionally.
Then the concubines of the palace originally saw that Xiao Guiren was favored some time ago, so they couldn't wait to pull her hind legs, there would be an opportunity, of course they couldn't let it go.
"Poor thing, a teenager plays like this, and I don't know what mistake he made?"
"Even if you make a mistake, isn't there still a Xin Zheku in the palace, no matter how big it is, you can send it to the criminal department outside, how can she kill her?"
"You don't know this, I heard that this is allowed by the emperor, saying that Xiao Guiren has the right to punish the palace people......."
As soon as these words came out, these harem concubines were even more unconvinced, and their voices became louder and louder.
Empress Dowager An can't turn a deaf ear anymore, the emperor doesn't let her control the government, and he doesn't let her mess up the harem. If this matter is stabbed upwards, in the absence of a queen, then the Empress Dowager An will bear the brunt.
She coughed twice and moved her gaze to Concubine Rong: "Where is the child, call the mourning family to ask." ”
