"What are you thinking?" Chen Qingqing saw Yi Concubine sitting in front of the window in a daze, and the embroidery needle in her hand was pierced in the empty space where there was no embroidery, which couldn't help but be a little funny. "My sister embroidered originally a mandarin duck, how can I embroider the beautiful feathers next to the lotus?"

After looking at it herself, Bai Suyu also felt very ugly, so she picked up the scissors at hand and stabbed them down. The tawed embroidery left a huge hole in it.

"What are you doing here? It's also my own hard work, how can I say that if it's ruined, it's ruined? Chen Qingqing was a little anxious: "It's not good, I dismantled this needle and re-embroidered it, this time, isn't it that the hard work of the past few days has been ruined." Sister, you are not an impatient person, why should you embarrass yourself in these things? ”

"Sister." Bai Suyu bit her lower lip and threw everything in her hand on the ground. "What is this thought, the blue flag of the water lake is really in vain. It's good now, Concubine Xian doesn't ask, let people mend their clothes and just pass. After a little bit up and down, the money was spent, and the strength was used, but the thing was not done, don't you think this is a waste of effort? ”

Rubbing his eyebrows, it was still difficult to eliminate the fire in his heart, and Bai Suyu was in a mood: "The key is that now that the queen is pregnant, the affairs of the harem are handed over to Concubine Xian to take care of, which is not a good thing for us at all." ”

Chen Qingqing saw that the fire was almost up, so he took the opportunity to mention: "Yes, Concubine Xian couldn't help but get angry, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't mind these things." If she secretly investigates, touches the melon, and finds something behind her back, then won't we be in danger? ”

"So what should I do?" Bai Suyu was a little anxious: "You can't get into trouble without anything, right?" Sister, you have always been smart, you must see more thoroughly than my sister and me, otherwise, you can help come up with ideas and think of a good way to deal with the past first. ”

"I ...... This ......" Chen Qingqing was embarrassed, so he had to lower his eyebrows: "What can I do, sister, you are too elevated to me." ”

"Sister, this ......" Bai Suyu is still a little afraid, if something really happens, just find a few minions to die. At most, it's a loss of life money. But if something doesn't happen, the slaves are not responsible, and if anyone spends a lot of money to pry their mouths open, it may not be impossible.

Chen Qingqing saw that Bai Suyu was flustered, but she was relieved. What she wants is that she has no master, and she can only listen to whatever she says at this time, right? "Good sister, it's not like being a sister and watching and wanting to stay out of the matter. It's just that it's really not that simple. Otherwise......"

Biting her lip, Chen Qingqing deliberately lowered her voice: "Since Concubine Xian is the most suitable concubine to take care of the affairs of the Six Palaces selected by the emperor and queen, then she must have a performance." If, at this time, something could disturb her heart, so that she did not have the time to pay attention to such a small matter, wouldn't it be simpler? ”

"That's true." Bai Suyu suddenly came to her senses: "My sister is right, if there are any waves in the harem at this time, then Concubine Xian must be able to take care of the head and the tail, so where does she have the spirit to care about the gains and losses of a piece of clothing." ”

I breathed a sigh of relief, and was thinking about what to do in my heart, when I heard the news from the eunuch outside the door, saying that the noble man was here.

"Sister, you're here." Bai Suyu lost her sorrow, walked forward happily, and welcomed the noble person in.

"Yi Concubine Niangniang is auspicious, and Wan Gui is good." The noble Xiu didn't have a lot of etiquette, and said with a smile. "What's going on?" stepped on the embroidery that Concubine Fang Cai threw on the ground, and the noble Xiu wanted to bend down and pick it up.

Bai Suyu hurriedly held her hand and held the person up: "Don't pay attention to it." Hey, there are also people who are not happy, since the embroidery is broken, it is not a pity to throw it away. Sister, don't pay attention to these little things, let's sit down and taste tea, and talk about interesting things. It just so happened that Sister Wan let the girl soak in the excellent Tieguanyin. This tea, after a long time, the fragrance is easy to disperse. It's best to drink while talking. ”

Several people sat down together, waited for the maid to serve tea and entered, and brought in a lot of snacks.

Bai Suyu smiled and invited the two of them to drink tea, and took a sip herself, before she said: "The queen mother is really a blessing." ”

Xiu Gui's heart was cold, and he couldn't help but feel that the tea was hot, so he had to complain: "No matter how good Tieguanyin is, it is not as good as the queen mother's Wuyi Mountain Taihong robe after all, it is a rare and superb taste." The emperor only sent people to Changchun Palace, and this honor alone can envy the sisters of the six palaces. What's more, he is still an old clam and has such a dragon fetus. ”

"Look at you, you're always so careless when you talk." Chen Qingqing was slightly displeased, raised his eyebrows and said: "What an old clam is born of pearls, it sounds like right and wrong." ”

"Alas......" Xiu Guiren sighed and was unhurried: "Isn't it! Where did I say it wrong, they are all thirty-five years old, and they can still get pregnant again, and during this period, they have not given birth to an heir for many years. It's not all the way to be born, the more you are born, the more you can give birth, why isn't that the case? ”

"All the way through?" Bai Suyu smiled coquettishly: "That's the pure concubine, the sixth elder brother is only one year old, no, the third child is about to come out." Although it was stretched for a while, you see, didn't you appear in the queen's palace today to invite An Daohe? Looking at her like that, it seems that she has been known earlier than everyone else knows. ”

"yes." Xiu Guiren lowered his voice and said: "I heard that Imperial Doctor Cao informed Concubine Chun early in the morning, and he also wants to serve the queen's dragon fetus. Therefore, Concubine Chun went to Changchun Palace early in the morning and congratulated everyone else. ”

Chen Qingqing nodded: "Imperial Doctor Cao's medical skills are exquisite, and he is the queen's person, so it's no wonder that he ran at both ends." It's just that I don't know if I can deal with it, so Concubine Chun took a moment, even if it wasn't serious, it was scary enough. It's going to be nine months, so what can I do if something goes wrong? It's just that Concubine Chun has always been careful, how can she be stretched out by a good person. This is inevitably a bit incomprehensible. ”

It was Xiu Guiren who said mysteriously: "I have heard of this, saying that the pure concubine will lose her footing in order to pick the pearls on the hairpin." When the hairpin was still in the diving mansion, it was no wonder that she cherished the things that the fourth master had rewarded. It's strange, it's strange, it's obvious that it was just sent to the Internal Affairs Office to be repaired, why did the beads fall again? It's easy to say, but that's what it's like anyway. ”

"People are watching the sky, the pure concubine is doing a lot of evil, no one needs to spend time to do anything, and God will naturally clean it up. Why bother? Bai Suyu just smiled and turned to something else.

In the past three days, Panyu has been sitting on the tip of a knife, and the big and small affairs in the harem have not been broken, and even his waist is about to be broken, but he has not figured out everything yet. "Concubine Ling, have you counted? How many horses did this material pay tribute to the palace, and how many should be sent to each palace according to the different positions? In addition, insufficient or additional needs are also listed. There are also some special rewards, marked clearly, and after the counting, give me a number. ”

Thinking that the emperor and queen valued Concubine Ling, Panyu was upset: "Three days is enough, right?" In the past three days, you have to figure it out quickly. The palace also has to calculate the amount you give, and then give it to the emperor and queen. Or if it is not enough, it will have to be purchased by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You can't go wrong in the slightest. ”

Wei Yating was a little embarrassed, one was that it was the first time she had handled these things, and she was not proficient. Second, what Concubine Xian said is only one part, and there are many accounts in and out that have not been identified. For example, the decoration cloth and satin required for the festival should also be summed up, which is extremely cumbersome and cannot be completed in three days. "Hui Xian Guifei Niangniang, three days are too nervous, the concubine is afraid of ......"

"Afraid?" Pan Yu was displeased: "What is there to be afraid of Concubine Ling." It is said that there is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of those who have a heart. As long as you do your best to check, there will be no mistakes or omissions. Could it be that the upper lip touches the lower lip, and you don't have to do it if you say a word? This is the emperor's trust in you, the palace can't afford this responsibility, you go and explain to the emperor yourself, you will be afraid, and you can't afford to bear such a burden. ”

Jin Peizi listened to Concubine Xian's words, and she was mean, and she was unwilling: "Concubine Niangniang is a little restless, Concubine Ling just said that she was afraid that there would be not enough time, and she didn't say anything else." You can just have a few more days. There are always two or three months left before the end of the year, and I don't care about figuring out ten days and eight days. It does take time for the tribute needed by the palace to be delivered to Beijing, but there is also a supply of silk from the Kyoto Village, so you really don't have to be so nervous. ”

In the end, Concubine Jia is also a person who has served the queen for many years, and she will have a lot of bright eyes and hearts for many things. Pan Yu nodded slightly and agreed: "That's right, it's really not a particularly urgent matter." It's just that before the end of the year, the ladies in the palace have to buy new clothes, and the queen's body is heavy, so I'm afraid that the clothes from before will not be able to wear. And the pure concubine is about to give birth, whether it is the little brother or the little princess, all the materials that should be prepared must not be sloppy.

A little east and a little west, it all adds up to a big deal. If there is no specific number, how can the palace arrange it and take it into account? However, since Concubine Jia said that she would be lenient, the palace would give Concubine Ling a few more days. Five days should be enough, right? Five days later, you send the list to the main palace, and the main palace will make proper arrangements. ”

Knowing that it is difficult, Wei Yating is not easy to argue, if she has a dislike with Concubine Xian because of these things, or tears her face, she will be the one who suffers after all. It is rare for the emperor and queen to be heavy, and they can't ask Concubine Xian to mess up this matter with just a few words. "If the concubine knows, she will do her best."

"Concubine Ling......" Jin Peizi knew that Concubine Xian was not well-intentioned, and wanted to advise her not to agree in a hurry, but she didn't expect her to be so simple. After all, it's still hard to say anything else.

Panyu looked at Concubine Jia's discomfort, and said: "Sister Jiafei's work is not light, the decoration in the palace, the newly purchased porcelain items, all the sisters have to prepare." In addition, even the spices, flowers and other small things used in the palaces have to be bothered by my sister's heart. What is missing, what is filled, these things are also the upper lip touching the lower lip, but in fact, if the internal affairs government is not ready, I am afraid it will also annoy the emperor.

For example, what kind of tribute wine to drink at the family banquet, what kind of soybeans are used in the imperial dining room, all of these are left to Sister Jiafei to manage. You are an old man who serves the emperor and queen, and you must be handy, so I won't say much about my sister. ”

Qi Qige was angry when he heard these words, and he couldn't help but glance at Xian Guifei, and said coldly: "I don't know what the concubine Niangniang has to tell her concubine to do?" ”

"Concubine Yu doesn't have to worry, there are things in this palace that you need to do." Pan Yu snorted lightly and said quietly: "The palace maid who was newly sent in by the Internal Affairs Office is young, she doesn't understand any rules, she can't do any work, and she makes a mess everywhere. As the saying goes, there are no rules, and my sister will teach them what kind of etiquette they should keep. ”

It stands to reason that this is the job of a minion. Etiquette is taught by a grandmother who serves in the palace all year round, or an elderly aunt. But at this time, since Concubine Xian arranged it like this, her character did not contradict it. "The concubine obeys." She glanced at Concubine Xian with a smile, but she couldn't help but say a word.

But even so, Concubine Xian didn't let go of herself.

"The palace always serves by the side of the Queen Mother and knows the situation in the Queen Mother's palace. Those little maids, hairy and hairy, can't do anything, and it makes people anxious when they look at it. Since he wants to teach the rules, he bothered Concubine Yu to go to Cining Palace to teach him well. The Queen Mother is looking forward to your going. Panyu's words are full of connotation. As soon as the streamer at the end of the eyes is cold, the words on the lips are not so good. "Teach until the Queen Mother is satisfied. If the Queen Mother is not satisfied, then the palace will not be forgiven. ”

Jin Peizi hated, and had to collide: "Since it is a teaching rule, why don't you gather the minions and teach them together?" This palace is coming down one palace after another, when is it a head? What's more, isn't the concubine afraid that it will ruin the purity of the Queen Mother? ”

"Sister Jiafei is really worried." Panyu's eyes lit up, and he slashed at Concubine Yu's face like a knife, and then said to Concubine Jia in a cold voice: "You just need to do your duty, next to it, don't ask more, don't care about it." The palace will naturally arrange it properly, if you have to make trouble, the root palace will do it......

The palace had no choice but to show the emperor and queen and ask the emperor and queen to call the shots. Didn't the emperor also say that the queen doesn't like others to disturb her when she is pregnant, if there is anything missing, the palace hopes that her sister will dare to act and bear the consequences. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Kim Peizi was unceremonious.

"Sister, don't say it." Qiqige called Concubine Jia, and said kindly: "Sister rest assured, such a small thing as admonishing the palace concubine will not be difficult for me, and the custody will satisfy the Queen Mother and Concubine Xian." We really don't have to make trouble for the emperor and queen. ”
