Chapter 140: Receiving Servants

Li Qingmu raised his eyebrows lightly, and was shocked by Yao Yuan's words. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]

After the fire in Magpie Garden, Li Qingmu didn't ask Emperor Jianning how he ran to save her. There are countless minions in the palace, and there are countless minions on Emperor Jianning's side, and there is a possibility that anyone who tells Emperor Jianning that the Magpie Garden is going to the water.

But she didn't expect that it was the person in front of her who went to ventilate and report to save her life.

Seeing doubts flashing in Li Qingmu's eyes, Yao Yuan raised his sleeves, wiped his face wet with tears, and said to Li Qingmu, "Mrs. Zhaoyue, the slave has been a slave in the palace for seven years, not so much to please the master, but to please Mama Ji." Other minions can have a good life as long as they concentrate on serving their masters. Slave, but he has to be respectful to Mama Ji. Where did Mama Ji come from, Mrs. Zhaoyue knew, and the slave's heart was like a mirror. The more she is favored by the queen, the more the minion's revenge cannot be avenged. The slave didn't tell Mrs. Zhaoyue a lie, and the servant went to report to the emperor, just to make the emperor angry, and then punish her for taking care of Mrs. Zhaoyue......"

Yao Yuan said sincerely, and Li Qingmu also listened carefully.

Yao Yuan has endured in the Dayue Palace for seven years, and it is indeed not easy to recognize the master. He went to Emperor Jianning to report the news, but he took a fancy to Li Qingmu's special identity, and the matter involved diplomatic relations between the two countries, and Emperor Jianning would not let this matter pass easily.

But Yao Yuan didn't expect that when he went to Jianzhang Palace to report to Emperor Jianning, Empress Qin was by Emperor Jianning's side.

Mama Ji is Empress Qin's confidant, Yao Yuan got the position of head of Fengyang Palace, and it was Mama Ji who vigorously promoted Empress Qin, how could Empress Qin not know Yao Yuan?

It is precisely in this way that when Emperor Jianning went to Magpie Garden to save Li Qingmu, Empress Qin had already thought about the way back. The first thing she did after returning to Guan Ju Palace was to send the little palace maid who took Li Qingmu to Magpie Garden, so that others would have no proof if they wanted to investigate.

Listening to Yao Yuan's cry, Li Qingmu squinted and thought lightly. After a moment, he said, "Yao Yuan, since the queen and Mama Ji already know that you are unfaithful to them, why do you still have a life?" ”

"Because of the emperor." Yao Yuan replied truthfully, "When the slave went to Jianzhang Palace to report the news, although the emperor left, he asked the name of the slave, and said that he would praise the slave well. So after returning to Fengyang Palace, Mama Ji only took care of Mrs. Zhaoyue as a slave, and beat the slave with thirty sticks, but did not ask for the slave's life. ”

Yao Yuan finished speaking, kowtowed to Li Qingmu, and said, "What is it like in the harem now, Mrs. Zhaoyue is no less than the slave who knows." Mama Ji was deeply used by the queen, and it was hopeless for the slave to avenge the revenge of the blood sea, and now, the slave has returned to Mrs. Zhaoyue in front of the minion. I also asked Mrs. Zhaoyue to accept the slave, and the slave must be loyal to Mrs. Zhaoyue! ”

Li Qingmu took a deep breath, and his mood was not relieved by the appearance of a servant.

"Yao Yuan......" Li Qingmu asked, "You have been a slave in the palace for seven years, and you must know a lot about the affairs of the harem. This palace is a princess and a princess, and the situation in this harem is very delicate. If you follow this palace, you won't have much success. ”

Yao Yuan knelt up straight when he heard this, and said to Li Qing, "What Mrs. Zhaoyue said, the servants have thought about it carefully. But it is precisely because Mrs. Zhaoyue is a princess who comes from a friendly relationship that the slave will kneel at the feet of Mrs. Zhaoyue. After the queen is a country, the entire harem is under her control, and the masters of other palaces are afraid of her. Mrs. Zhaoyue's identity is special, even if she is a little disrespectful to the queen, killing one or two of her minions, the queen will be forced by the emperor's pressure, and will not blame Mrs. Zhaoyue. ”

"It's more because people won't believe you, right?" Li Qingmu made the words clear and said, "You are Mama Ji's own nephew, who knows if you did this bitter trick and then placed it on the side of the palace?" ”

Yao Yuan was stunned, his mouth was pursed, and his eyes were red. After gritting his teeth and enduring it for a while, he said to Li Qing, "If Mrs. Zhaoyue doesn't believe in the slave, she can beat the slave to death now." However, I also asked Mrs. Zhaoyue to allow the slave to go to the next room now and stab Mama Ji to death. In this way, it not only avenged the blood revenge of the minions, but also removed the disease in Mrs. Zhaoyue's heart! ”

Li Qingmu looked back at Cai Xiang who was standing beside him, and asked in Da Shun, "Cai Xiang, do you think what he said is true?" ”

Cai Xiang thought for a while, and replied in Da Shun, "Princess, his hatred for Mama Ji is true. The princess has been married here for half a year, Yao Yuan has always been the eunuch in charge of the palace here, and he is a very easy-going person on weekdays. If he hadn't really been wronged in his heart, he wouldn't have been able to pretend to be like this. But whether he is really obedient to the princess, the slave and maid do not know......"

Li Qingmu also felt that the grievances between Yao Yuan and Mama Ji did not seem to be fake, but he didn't dare to believe in the words of obedience.

Tapping his fist on his forehead a few times, Li Qingmu chuckled and said to Cai Xiang, "You can't give up the child and can't trap the wolf." Left and right are either Yao Yuan or Mama Ji, Mama Ji and I have already offended, so believe Yao Yuan once. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Cai Xiang.

Cai Xiang nodded, walked to Yao Yuan's side and helped Yao Yuan up, and said, "Father-in-law Yao, please get up." ”

Cai Xiang is a first-class palace maid beside Li Qingmu, and her ability to step forward to help Yao Yuan already means that Li Qingmu believes Yao Yuan's words.

Yao Yuan kowtowed to Li Qingmu two more times before standing up with the help of Cai Xiang. Yao Yuan still had an injury on his leg, limped forward two steps, and said, "Mrs. Zhaoyue, the slave has been in the palace for seven years, although he has been living under the pressure of Mama Ji, he still won over a group of hard-working palace maids and eunuchs. If Mrs. Zhaoyue didn't dislike it, the minions would want to transfer them to the Fengyang Palace to wait for Mrs. Zhaoyue. ”

"Yo ho, buy one and get a bunch free." Li Qingmu whispered in Dashun words.

Cai Xiang coughed and stifled the smile in her throat and eyes.

"Yao Yuan, you have a good heart. It's just that lately, you can't show up anymore. ”

Yao Yuan looked up at Li Qingmu in surprise.

"Your position as the head of the Fengyang Palace was asked for by Mama Ji when she went to the queen for you." Li Qingmu chuckled, "Now that you have turned against Mama Ji and returned to this palace, the queen must be dissatisfied with you in her heart." If you make any more moves at this time, it will only make the queen grab the handle and get rid of you. Yao Yuan, since you are now a slave of this palace, there is no reason for this palace to put you in danger again. ”

Yao Yuan knelt down again, kowtowed to Li Qingmu and said, "Mrs. Zhaoyue, slave, slave detains Mrs. Xie Zhaoyue for the slave to plan." But the more this happens, the more the minions can't help but act. There are a few available people in this Fengyang Palace, and the minions are like mirrors in their hearts. Since the slave has recognized Mrs. Zhaoyue as the master, he has not put his master in danger. ”

"Don't ......be in a hurry," Li Qingmu chuckled, and asked Cai Xiang to help Yao Yuan up again, "Half a year has passed in the palace, and it's not bad for these two days." You first heal the wound on your leg, and then help the palace replace the minions in and out of this hall. ”

After Yao Yuan retreated, Li Qingmu returned to the dormitory with the incense.

She punished Mama Ji today, and the queen won't know about it. Now, the contradiction between her and Empress Qin has further intensified.

But contrary to Li Qingmu's expectations, Queen Qin didn't make any moves. Empress Qin didn't do anything about Li Qingmu's punishment of Mama Ji, so she didn't mention it.

On August 13 of the second year of Jianning, under Li Qingmu's intentional or unintentional reminder, Emperor Jianning finally remembered Yao Yuan, the person who had risked his life to report the news in Jianzhang Palace. Because Yao Yuan was already the head of Fengyang Palace, Emperor Jianning rewarded Yao Yuan with ten taels of gold to make this credit a reality.

Now, Yao Yuan, a minion, has officially entered the eyes of Emperor Jianning.

After Yao Yuan won the imperial reward, his status in the palace was incomparable. He dragged a stump leg and successively replaced as much as half of the palace maids and eunuchs waiting in Fengyang Palace, among them, there were even several palace maids brought by Li Qingmu from Dashun.

This really made Li Qingmu frightened, she didn't expect that there would be a mutiny among the people she brought over so soon.

After the Fengyang Palace's blood exchange, Yao Yuan dragged his injured leg to Li Qingmu's front and replied, "Mrs. Zhaoyue, the servants have left a few fine works among the rough envoys and eunuchs. It's not that the minions don't want to replace them, one is that there are no more people that the minions can trust, and the other is that if these few fine works are sent away, I'm afraid that if they are sent again, it will be even more difficult to monitor......"

Li Qingmu nodded, Yao Yuan did not replace her personal Dashun palace maid when she changed her slaves, and she knew how to advance and retreat, which had already won a trace of Li Qingmu's favor.

After the minions of Fengyang Hall were changed, the next day was August 15 of the second year of Jianning, the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet is held in the Agarwood Hall located in the northwest corner of the Imperial Palace.

The Agarwood Palace, like the Magpie Garden, is a place in the palace dedicated to holding palace banquets. The difference is that the Magpie Garden is smaller and is only used by the concubine on weekdays. The agarwood hall covers a wide area.

In addition to the main hall on the first floor for the banquet, countless rooms on the second floor for the concubine to rest drunk, and the semi-enclosed moon viewing platform on the third floor, there is also a small water pavilion in the backyard. Standing on top of the water pavilion, you can see the lotus flowers in the pond.

The Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet is placed on the moon viewing platform on the third floor. Sitting on the north and facing the south, the seats of Mrs. Yu and Li Qingmu were placed on both sides of the main seat.

Further down, according to the upper three concubines, the six concubines, and Rong Hua's position was ranked.

When Li Qingmu arrived at the Agarwood Palace, she was the only one with a high position. Under the guidance of the maid, she went to the right side of the table and sat down. Her attack was Liu Zhaorong, who had not been seen for a few days.

Because it was a formal occasion, Liu Zhaorong was dressed very gorgeously, and the gold and silver phoenix hairpin on his head sparkled in the candlelight. The phoenix of the concubine is updated quickly

Liu Zhaorong saw Li Qingmu taking a seat, stood up and said hello to Li Qingmu, and said with a soft smile after sitting down, "The concubine thought that Mrs. Zhaoyue would come with Mrs. Yu." ”

"Mrs. Yu is painting Liang Palace, and the main palace is in Yijing Palace, different roads." Li Qingmu looked back at Liu Zhaoyue and smiled, "This palace wanted to come with you, but when I asked the little eunuch to visit, I realized that you had already come." ”

"Let Mrs. Zhaoyue wait, it's a concubine." Liu Zhaorong hurriedly stood up again, and apologized to Li Qingmu.

"That's it," Li Qingmu took Liu Zhaorong's hand and said with a smile, "We are both sisters in the same palace, so we don't need to be so polite." Gently stroking the back of Liu Zhaorong's delicate hand twice, Li Qingmu smiled, "Liu Zhaorong's skin is so good, as delicate as good rouge, white and tender." ”

"It's not as good as Lady Zhaoyue." Liu Zhaorong said politely with a shy face, "Since I heard that Mrs. Zhaoyue and Mrs. Yu talked about the method of taking care of their skin, the concubine has been using it. If it really works, the skin will be smooth and tender in a few days. ”

As the two were talking, they heard a high singing in the distance.

Three times in a row, it was Emperor Jianning, Empress Qin, and Madame Yu who came together. A more ~ ticket, come to the bowl!!
