"It's the slave who made a mistake." Lady Pang admitted her mistake, "The slave didn't expect this Concubine De to be so smart. In other words, other concubines may be diverted because of the crying of the slaves. But I didn't expect her to be indifferent. Then he asked the slave in turn. ”

The Queen Mother heard some words in the palace saying that Luo Ge was very smart. Today, I heard what Lady Pang said, which was confirmed.

"Now that you know everything, why are you still being tricked by her later?" The Queen Mother asked again.

"Everything is careless." Lady Pang said with annoyance, "I thought that he just guessed that this matter was instructed by someone else." And she will definitely know in the palace that this matter was said by Niangniang, so ...... I just followed her words, but I didn't expect ......"

"It's really not enough to accomplish things, but more than to fail. Then do you tell her who made this suggestion to the mourners? ”

"This ......"

Looking at Lady Pang's hesitation, the Queen Mother probably understood. She smiled slightly, turned to the old slave beside her, and said, "The mourning family heard about it...... This abolitionist steward killed a supervisor some time ago. You've been looking for someone all the time, and now you're going to have someone to choose someone for now, right? ”

Before the Queen Mother finished speaking, the attendants beside her understood what it meant, so they found someone to leave with Lady Pang.

When everyone left, the palace maid who was standing next to the Queen Mother came up and asked, "What should Niangniang do now?" ”

The Queen Mother thought for a moment and said, "According to the current situation, Concubine De will definitely go to find Mrs. Qiu, and she will not dare to come to find trouble with the mourning family." In that case, then sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Anyway, in the final analysis, this matter is just to appease the hearts of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and now it depends on how Defei deals with it. ”

"Mrs. Qiu, shall we use the notice?"

"That's not necessary, it's useless to notify her elm head." The Queen Mother didn't bother to hook up with Mrs. Qiu, but this time she just made an opinion that she thought was good.

The Queen Mother has chosen to let Mrs. Qiu go, but Mrs. Qiu doesn't know. She was still looking proud in her palace at the moment, ready to deal with Luo Ge who came to Xingshi to ask for her guilt.

When Luo Ge came to Qingqiu Pavilion, Mrs. Qiu was just about to take a lunch break, but when she heard that someone was reporting that Luo Ge was coming, she immediately got up with high spirits, and then put on her clothes and jewelry and went to the main gate to greet Luo Ge. Luo Ge was stopped at the door.

"Mother." Yun Lan, who was standing on the side, was a little unhappy, "As the highest-ranking concubine in the harem so far, this makes you wait outside the door...... It's too ......."

Regarding Yun Lan's complaints, Luo Ge said: "She was originally an ambitious person, and now it is normal to be like this. Let her do a little more, and have more reasons to make her a little less arrogant. ”

"But mother, she won't be any less arrogant because of this. It should be more arrogant, right? Yun Lan couldn't understand Luo Ge's thoughts.

Luo Ge explained with a smile: "As the saying goes, when the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it loses." When a person feels so good about himself that he really has a reason to become a concubine in the harem, it will not be far from the time when she falls from a height, but according to the current situation, he has not even reached the high speed, and it is estimated that he will fall. ”

Looking at Brother Luo's calm and relaxed appearance, Yun Lan understood. He didn't speak, and waited for Mrs. Qiu's palace maid to come out and open the door.

After waiting for about half an hour, the harem maid came to open the door. The palace maid who guards the door is a raw face, and Luo Ge has never seen her in the palace maid selection.

This palace maid is also smart, and when she saw Luo Ge's curious look, she immediately said: "The slave maid is the palace maid who served in the cold palace in the past. A few days ago, the female officials in the palace maid's room transferred the slave maid to the Qingqiu Pavilion. ”

"No wonder Hongu has never seen you." Luo Ge smiled, "Mrs. Qiu, but everything is ready?" ”

"Madam, everything is ready, just wait for the mother." The maid of the palace got out of the way.

Luo Ge nodded and said, "Then lead the way in front and lead the palace in." ”

"Whoa." After the palace maid agreed, she took Luo Ge into the Qingqiu Pavilion.

This is the first time Luo Ge has come to Qingqiu Pavilion. Qingqiu Pavilion is the smallest palace in the entire harem. In the whole palace, except for the small building where a concubine lived, there was only a simple room where the palace maid lived. There is not even a place for the chamberlain. So it didn't take a moment to go, and Luo Ge arrived.

Mrs. Qiu, who was standing on the first floor of the pavilion waiting for Luo Ge, couldn't hide her happiness, but Luo Ge didn't mind.

"The concubine has seen Concubine De Niangniang." An Wanqiu casually saluted.

"No courtesy." Seeing that she was not distracted, Luo Ge didn't pursue it too much, she found a seat and sat down.

An Wanqiu saw that Luo Ge did not sit on the main seat, so she consciously sat down on the main seat. However, the palace maids around An Wanqiu did not stop her.

Looking at the two of them, Luo Ge didn't speak, just looked at the two of them with a smile, and then pulled Yun Lan behind him.

Yun Lan whispered indignantly: "Niangniang." ”

Luo Ge shook his head and whispered, "Why did you become so unstable when you came back from the palace?" ”

Yun Lan didn't say anything more. And at this time, An Wanqiu also opened her mouth.

"I don't know why Concubine De came here?"

"It's nothing, but there are things I want to verify from Madame."

"Verify? Concubines really don't dare. If there is anything to do, just ask. ”

"Since that's the case, then the palace will say it directly." Luo Ge deliberately cleared his throat, and then said: "It is said that a few days ago, the Queen Mother announced to the palaces that when it comes to the family banquet during the Spring Festival, the ministers can bring their daughters who are show girls into the palace. I don't know if it's true or not? ”

"Hui Niangniang, this thing is true." An Wanqiu said with a smug face.

Luo Ge nodded deliberately before he understood, and then said, "Since this is the case, then Bengong wants to come to verify how this happened." After all, there is no news about the Zhaochun Palace where the main palace is located. ”

Hearing this, An Wanqiu's heart was overjoyed. She was very happy with the Queen Mother's arrangement. However, she is more restrained than in the past, so after listening to it, she put away the smugness on her face. Then he said: "It's not easy to say about this matter for the concubine, because it was decided by the Queen Mother." On the previous day, the Queen Mother called the concubine to the palace for questioning, saying that she had not seen her for many days and wanted to see how the concubine was. The concubine naturally went, and after she went, who knew that the queen mother said that she wanted to let the daughters of the ministers of each family participate in the draft into the palace. ”

"Oh?" Luo Ge raised his eyebrows, "Then what did you and the Queen Mother say?" Let's tell Hongu to listen. ”

looked at Luo Ge as if he was waiting to hear the story. An Wanqiu naturally won't let her down.

"The Queen Mother first found the female officials in her palace to find concubines. At first, it was said that there was something to do, and the concubines also listened to it. Then I went to the queen mother's palace, but found that the queen mother called the concubine, which was not as simple as having something to do. She asked her concubines to come for a purpose. ”

"What is the purpose? You can say come to Hongu and listen to it. ”

When she entered, the Queen Mother asked her concubines. Are there any women of the same age in the family? And whether there is anyone in the family who is above the fourth rank. How can a small family like a concubine have relatives at the official level above the fourth rank? At that time, the concubine said to the Queen Mother that she didn't, but who knew that the Queen Mother said with a pity on her face: 'You don't have such relatives in your family, so there is one less chance to soar.' One is that the concubines haven't figured out what is going on, until the Queen Mother said that she wants all the daughters of officials above the fourth rank to enter the palace, and the concubines all understand. The Queen Mother is looking for the king in advance. ”

"Then what did you say after that?"

"The concubine has been in the palace for more than half a year, and it is only the last time the king has been re-employed. Naturally, there is no desire for more competitors to emerge. But the person who spoke was the Queen Mother. The concubine can only say to the Queen Mother with a smile on her face, this is a thousand kinds of good Queen Mother, just go and carry it out. ”

"Then it seems that you were forced to do it by the Queen Mother?" Luo Ge smiled.

Looking at Luo Ge's expression, An Wanqiu immediately said, "No." The concubine didn't dare. ”

"Then why didn't the Queen Mother let people inform Zhaochun Palace?"

"This ...... This...... The concubine did not know. An Wanqiu's movements were a little cramped.

Luo Ge smiled, and then asked: "Since this is the case, then why didn't you think to talk about it in front of the Queen Mother, so that she should not forget the Zhaochun Palace of the main palace?" ”

"Niangniang, you have wronged the concubine!" I immediately shouted in late autumn, "The queen mother has spoken, how can the concubine refute it?" ”

"Why did this palace ask you to refute? If you remember what the palace just told you, why didn't you want to tell the queen mother that she wanted me to inform the Zhaochun Palace of the palace. ”

"Niangniang, you are really difficult to be a concubine. That's the Queen Mother! That's the king's mother, the master of the Six Palaces. Once the concubine refutes it, the result can be imagined. Maybe I won't be able to see the concubine in the palace today. ”

"In that case, it seems that you attach great importance to the dignity of rank in the palace?"

"How can the rank and humility in this palace not respect the mother, aren't you joking with the concubine?"

An Wanqiu's words came out, and Brother Luo Ge felt sarcastic. But she didn't say much, just found an excuse to get up and pretended to leave Qingqiu Pavilion. And An Wanqiu, who pretended to be smart, thought that she had said the wrong thing, and Luo Ge was unhappy. He immediately got up.

She said, "Niangniang, what's going on? Why did you get up suddenly? ”

Luo Ge smiled slightly and said, "It's not a big deal, but I want to go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye." ”

As soon as she heard that she was going to ask the Queen Mother for peace, An Wanqiu was anxious. She immediately stepped forward to stop Luo Ge with a smile, and then said with a smile on her face: "Why did my sister suddenly go to find the Queen Mother?" At noon, the sun is in full bloom, and my sister is going to Niangniang now, and she may not have gotten up yet. ”

"It's fine." Luo Ge continued to laugh. It's just a matter of waiting for a while, but Hongu is still patient. What's more, the scenery in the Queen Mother's palace has not been well appreciated. After that, you can also see the snow scene. Isn't that wonderful? ”
