Concubine Yun strode into the inner courtyard of the Qinzheng Palace. The palace people on both sides came up to stop them, and said again and again, "The emperor can't see Niangniang now." Concubine Yun walked to the bottom of the steps of the main hall by herself, lifted her skirt and knelt down and said, "You don't have to stop the palace. You can rest assured, this palace knows the rules and will not break in. The main palace is here to kneel. ”

The chief manager, Yao Fusheng, happened to be on duty outside, seeing that Concubine Yun was not acting like him, and he was afraid of disturbing the emperor, he also stepped forward to persuade: "Your concubine is a little restless. The emperor doesn't see Niangniang now because the emperor has something. When the emperor is done, he will naturally summon Niangniang, and Niangniang will go to the side hall to wait patiently, why bother to come here to blow the wind? ”

Concubine Yun looked unmoved, kneeling straight and not speaking.

Yao Fusheng looked at her appearance, shook his head and left, thinking in his heart that this master Yun was afraid that he was going to disappoint the emperor. This special favor is not something that everyone can bear. It's only been more than a month, and this master is in a mess, and I don't know if I'm too frivolous or someone can't see it and stumble on her.

It's nothing for Concubine Yun to kneel here. But this place is near the main hall, and Concubine Yun listened with her ears pricked up, and heard a faint voice inside: "...... The emperor doesn't know how much of a wave the harem has set off now...... said that it was because of the lack of ice, but in fact, because someone was bullying, the sisters felt uncomfortable......"

Bully, who can this be. Concubine Yun was so angry that her face turned purple, and she didn't know what to do—of course she didn't dare to break in, but did she let the Bai clan slander herself?

Tian Liangdi was still pulling her sleeve to persuade, and said, "Eldest sister, let's go back......" Concubine Yun couldn't listen to it at all at this time, and only suppressed her anger and whispered: "Someone really dares to arrange us in front of the emperor!" In the past few days, the emperor has reused his father, and even the queen has to be careful...... Isn't it enough for them to force the palace to kneel down and plead guilty in front of the queen, but they dare to offend the palace in front of the emperor! ”

Chu Huaxin ignored what Qianfu pointed out and was bent on competing for favor, and he also felt that the emperor just wanted to reuse his father, so he added a lot of confidence to his heart. What if you become the target of public criticism? The emperor will definitely protect her.

Tian Liangdi looked at Concubine Yun's face, and said carefully: "The eldest sister is now on the cusp, and those concubines who are not favored will naturally slander you in every way, isn't it because they are not as good as the eldest sister?" Eldest sister, don't be angry with them. ”

"Then let them practice the main palace? It's not that you haven't seen how humiliated we were in Jiyue Yaotai a few days ago, saying that we spoiled the rules...... Hmph, if this palace turns a blind eye, they will only make us stumble even harder! ”

Concubine Yun's mind is very messy now, she only thinks that all the women in the harem are coming for her, the matter of the ice cube, the little palace maid who carries the water, and the Bai family's slander today...... Who's scheming on her? Is it one person or a lot of people? Also, the Bai family is very loyal to the queen, could it be that the queen is also going to deal with herself? Didn't the queen support Huashang to deal with Concubine Xiang, how could she ......

But who knows what the queen is thinking! A few days ago, the concubines knelt down and begged the queen to advise the emperor, maybe the queen also felt that they were reasonable, and was preparing to suppress herself. Concubine Yun doesn't have a good impression of this queen, the queen can bring their sisters in order to suppress Concubine Xiang, and she can also do something to her for the benefit of the side.

"Forget it, eldest sister." Tian Liangdi continued to persuade her: "Don't get along too much with these characters who can't get on the stage. According to my sister, the emperor's pet should not be in a hurry. You let go of the emperor a little, and your reputation as a virtuous person makes the emperor feel that you have a good character, and it will be easy to be favored in the future. Let's just talk about this matter today, you will be generous and give the opportunity to Bai Liangdi, the emperor will definitely think that his sister is sensible, and he will not listen to Bai Liangdi's slander......"

"Shut up!" Concubine Yun interrupted her with a frosty face: "Don't say this kind of thing again." The palace was three years into the palace, our group of show girls are not brilliant, and there are concubines pressing, only me and Liu Jieyu are the only two who have come out, and the rest are in the corners...... Outsiders look at it as beautiful, but I haven't been a concubine for three years, and I haven't had a child. The palace has made concessions to the Bai family today, and Ming'er has to make concessions to the Lin family, and what kind of 'favor' is there to talk about! ”

Her chest rose and fell, and she gritted her teeth and said, "It's not that Bengong is in a hurry, but Bengong can't afford to wait." The eldest son of the emperor is already six years old, and Concubine Xiang has another one in her belly, and the queen has no descendants but has a phoenix position and power. Only Hongu has nothing. ”

Tian Liangdi looked at her angry sister, closed her mouth and stopped talking.

Lin Yuan sat alone in the side hall, silently looking at the faint green smoke emitted from the mouth of a bronze unicorn tripod beast on the desk. An ordinary maid in front of the palace stood by the door, occasionally stepping forward to refill the white jade cup in front of her, and refused to say a word.

Lin Yuan knew that the person in front of the palace was tight-mouthed, and he was not in a hurry to talk to the palace maid, so he just sat upright and drank tea. When the teacup in front of her was filled for the fourth time, she stood up and smiled at the palace maid, "Thank you for serving me." I've been sitting for so long, and seeing that the emperor won't summon me, I'll go back. ”

Lin Yuan didn't think about seeing the emperor at the beginning, all she wanted to see was the Chu family sisters, and now that the sun had risen overhead, it was time to go back.

Today's Kyushu Qing Banquet will definitely not be clean, everything they should do has been done, and there is no need to stay to make trouble with them.

For Lin Yuan's polite thanks, the palace maid hurriedly said that she didn't dare. Lin Yuan picked up his food box and handed it to the palace maid in front of him, and said, "This is the nectar bird's nest porridge that I bothered to make, I wanted to give it to the emperor with my own hands, but it is the same for you." As he spoke, he stuffed her with five taels of silver: "I want to trouble you to present it to the emperor." ”

The palace maid has been serving the emperor for a long time, and she is not surprised by this kind of thing, and the concubines often come to favor under the guise of delivering meals, and in the end they can't see the emperor, and the things still have to be presented to someone. She smiled and accepted the five taels of errand fees, and saluted: "Little master, rest assured, the slave will definitely do this errand well." ”

Lin Yuan smiled and walked towards the gate of the palace. The moment she went out, she deliberately looked back, and saw that in the innermost Qinzheng Palace, two vague figures were still kneeling.

I felt a little more sure in my heart for no reason.

It was already noon when I returned to the palace. Lin Yuan lazily rested on the chaise longue, and smiled with Chu Xue: "In the past few days, I have gone out to collect lotus dew in the stars and moons, and it is so easy to make that nectar porridge, I am really tired." ”

Chu Xue pinched her leg and said: "The little master has worked hard, the emperor will naturally like it in his eyes, and the little master's hard work is worth it." ”

"I hope so." The expression on Lin Yuan's face was a little blurred, and he looked at it as if he had something on his mind.

At this time, Aunt Han came back from a trott. Chu Xue saw her appearance, hurriedly retreated, closed the door of the temple again, and guarded the door by herself.

Aunt Han said in Lin Yuan's ear: "Sure enough, as the little lord expected, the queen's phoenix went to the Kyushu Qing Banquet." ”

"The queen went?" Lin Yuan smiled, and sure enough, she guessed the queen's thoughts...... Bai Xiuwei came here today to ask to see the emperor, and the queen must be about to take action. It's just that I don't know how the queen is going to sing this play? I just beg her not to get along with herself too much.

I'm just a small character who is whirling around among the big people and begging for a living...... I hope that the queen will not clean herself up by the way, and I hope that Concubine Rou and Concubine Xiang will not have any actions to interfere with themselves.

Thinking like this, Lin Yuan pinched two black pearls from the sachet on her waist and put them in Aunt Han's palm, and said, "You are thoughtful, and this concubine is very satisfied." ”

Aunt Han held the beads in her hand, and the weight was as heavy as silver, and it must be a genuine South China Sea black pearl. She knew very well that just these two grains were worth the moonsilver she had in the palace for a lifetime. But the feeling of holding wealth in his hand is not joy, but fear.

I don't know if Shishuang is out of the palace...... That girl is really her own niece, she is as greedy for money as herself, and she dares to carry a bucket to collide with Yun Gui Concubine Niangniang for a few gold bars...... When Aunt Han was thinking about this, she couldn't help but go to see her current master. This little master is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he is just a child as old as Shishuang, so he has the courage to calculate these!

Xiaoyuan is thoughtful and astonishingly intelligent, so she should be a person who has achieved great things. Aunt Han knew that there was no turning back if this arrow was shot, and those rumors about Yun Gui Concubine Niangniang and Tian Liangdi were all released by herself, what way back was there? Xiaoyuan's little lord is also guarding against herself, and she insists on going to the palace people to talk about the broken words of the noble concubine and the mother, and in the end, if the matter is revealed, she will bear the brunt of it, and it is naturally impossible to betray the master. I just hope that Xiaoyuan and the little master can get ahead, and he will be tied to this boat, and he can also follow the soaring.

Aunt Han pinched the pearl and sweated a hand, and Lin Yuan was a little uneasy in her heart - this big drama today is not very easy to sing. If you don't sing well, the effort ahead is to make a wedding dress for others.

That's it, that's it, it's up to people to do things, it's up to heaven to do things. This time, he took the risk and calculated the Chu family sisters, which was a huge investment in Lin Yuan's eyes, and he only hoped that he would get the profits he deserved at that time.

She waved her hand and ordered Aunt Han to step back and go to bed and fall asleep.

At this time, in the Kyushu Qing banquet, as Lin Yuan expected, a big drama was being played.

Tuoba Hong has been a little more idle than a few days ago. Just this morning, the 600 li sent from Huguang said to the emperor that the embankment at the mouth of the river had been repaired, and if it did not rain in the next few days, the flood would be over. Tuoba Hong was in a good mood when he heard this, and immediately moved an edict to reward the officials of Huguang and Guangzhou, and encouraged them to make persistent efforts to appease the victims of the disaster, open warehouses and release grain, and if they did well, they would be rewarded. The haze of the past few days was swept away in the court, and when Tuoba Hiroshi walked towards the dormitory, his steps were brisk.

In such a good mood, when he heard that Bai Liangdi had an "important matter" to play, he happily passed Bai Liangdi in.
