"Concubine Yi thinks it's okay for this palace to deal with it like this?"

When Concubine Yi heard my question, she didn't hide her contempt at all, and said, "The mother is kind-hearted, and the concubine has no objections. "Her words are clearly sarcastic that I am not strong enough, probably because she thinks that I don't have the thunderous means like Concubine Tong.

I said softly: "As for Concubine Yi, although you are not responsible for this matter, but in any case, my sister is afraid that she will be implicated, and this palace will punish you for being grounded for three days. ”

This punishment is dispensable, and Concubine Yi said happily: "The concubine is willing to be punished." ”

I nodded and said to Concubine Tong, "Concubine Tong, get up quickly." ”

Concubine Tong was still kneeling there, and said with low eyebrows: "The concubine inspector is not strict, please also ask the mother to punish her." ”

Looking at Concubine Tong's gentle and tame appearance, I knew in my heart that I was afraid that Concubine Tong would see that the Queen Mother was determined to lift me up today, and she had to avoid the edge for the time being. What's more, I only gave a slight punishment to Concubine Yi, who was "mainly responsible", which is why she dared to "clich words" again.

I "sure enough" chuckled and said: "What did Concubine Tong say, my sister works hard for the affairs of the harem, and it is reasonable that she has no time to take care of such trivial matters, how can this palace punish you indiscriminately." ”

Concubine Tong's face relaxed a little when she heard this, and she no longer shirked, bowed down and got up and sat back beside the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother looked at me suspiciously, and I smiled: "Concubine Tong has helped the palace to take care of the harem in the past two years, which can be described as a high degree of hard work, and over time, the palace is also accustomed to handing over all kinds of things to Concubine Tong to deal with, and she actually neglected that Concubine Tong's sister is only one person, where can she deal with these trivial matters in the harem?" ”

Concubine Tong listened to my words, her face changed suddenly, and she smiled unnaturally: "It is a great blessing for the concubine to be able to share the worries of the mother, even if the concubine is harder, but when she thinks that it is for the mother, she doesn't feel hard." Niangniang has just recovered from a serious illness, so she should recuperate quietly, and she must not be sad about trivial matters because she is considerate of her concubines. ”

I smiled and said, "It's rare that Concubine Tong's sister has a sincere heart, but my sister is right, and the imperial doctor also told the palace that this time is indeed not too tireless." Seeing that Concubine Tong's face soothed a little, I said again: "But my sister is so concerned about this palace, if this palace doesn't show anything to my sister, it seems that this palace has no favor." ”

Concubine Tong frowned again, it turned out that it was so interesting to see a person change his face. I said to the Queen Mother: "Huang Eniang, it is better to choose one more person from among the concubines to help Concubine Tong to assist in the harem, which not only saves the children from the trouble, but also shares the burden of Concubine Tong." ”

Concubine Tong was in a hurry and was about to speak, but she was swept away by the Queen Mother's cold glance and shut up.

I withdrew my gaze, but on the way I met Shunzhi's eyes, I looked into his eyes in a daze, I couldn't help but be a little stupid, his eyes were so bright, like the stars last night. My heart twisted for no reason, the pain made me frown slightly, and my breathing was a little short, looking at my appearance, his face flashed...... Is it worrying? I'm not sure.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother hurriedly asked, "Hui'er, why is your face so pale?" Do you need to summon the imperial doctor? ”

I smiled at the Queen Mother and said, "The emperor doesn't have to worry, son...... Presumably I didn't see the sun a while ago, and my face looked a little bad. ”

"Really?" The Queen Mother was still not at ease, and at this time, the attacker standing behind me couldn't help but interject: "Actually, Niangniang is ......."

"Attack!" I shouted, "When did you become so unruly." ”

The attacker was so frightened that he shrank his neck, knelt on the ground, looked at the Queen Mother and Shunzhi's suspicious eyes, I turned around and glared at the attacker with some annoyance, the attacker had a trace of injustice on his face, tears rolled in his eyes, I calmed down and said to the Queen Mother: "This girl has been spoiled by the retainers on weekdays, and I hope that the emperor will spare her this time for the sake of her sleepless service to the retainers a few days ago." ”

The Queen Mother glanced at me and said meaningfully: "That's it this time, but the queen must control her subordinates well in the future, and don't let them behave in any other way." ”

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Queen Mother was referring to the matter of Canghai when she said this, so I said gloomily: "Erchen has written it down." ”

The Queen Mother nodded, and said slowly: "What the queen said just now also makes sense, I don't know if the queen has someone in her heart?" ”

I looked at Concubine Tong's increasingly ugly face and smiled: "It stands to reason that Concubine Shuhui is a good candidate, but Erchen is also a little selfish, and he can't bear to see his sister working, so it's better for Sister Xian to take over this burden." ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Shunzhi looked at me in amazement, but even the Queen Mother looked at me with an inquiring gaze, Concubine Tong pursed her lips, the corners of her mouth twitched, I turned my head, looked at Wuyunzhu and said: "Sister E, please also understand the thoughts of my sister who feels sorry for this palace." ”

Everyone in the palace knows that Concubine Shuhui is cowardly, and it is impossible for her to take such a heavy responsibility, and I say this just to make Wuyunzhu unable to shirk my "kindness".

Wuyunzhu was also shocked, she had just entered the harem, the canonization ceremony had not yet passed, and her heels had not yet stood firm, how could she dare to be on an equal footing with Concubine Tong and jointly assist in the harem?

"Concubine ......" Wuyunzhu hesitated for a moment, I said so, and if she refused, she would undoubtedly seem a little "ignorant", but she still said: "The concubine is immoral and incompetent, and she doesn't dare to bear the love of her mother." ”

Not fooled? I smiled, lowered my head, tried to make my expression a little lonely, and said, "Sister E is both talented and beautiful, so why be humble?" If Sister E is really as she said, the emperor will not like her sister so much, and the emperor admires the people who are believed in this palace. After that, I turned my head to look at Shunzhi and said softly: "Did the emperor say yes?" ”

I say this, it is equivalent to an apology in disguise, I believe Shunzhi must understand it, although this apology is a bit of a nest, but now in order to drag Shunzhi's heart back, I can only do this, "wooing" the dark cloud beads, so that Shunzhi can regain his good impression of me. Hold the enemy in the first place, and then destroy them in one fell swoop!

My eyes and Shunzhi touched and closed, and then I turned my eyes to the Queen Mother, who smiled and said, "Concubine Xian? It's also a personal choice. Although she has been in the palace for a short time, people always have to hone it, I don't know what the emperor's opinion is? ”

Shunzhi looked at my side face and said slowly: "Just according to what the queen said, Concubine Tong, in the future, you and Concubine Xian will assist the queen in taking care of the harem." ”

Did he accept my apology?

Concubine Tong gritted her teeth and said, "The concubine is ordered." ”

Hearing Shunzhi say this, Wuyunzhu's original frightened look couldn't help but be mixed with a hint of surprise, with the emperor's support for her, the nature of this matter was different. She got up and bowed down and said, "The concubine obeys the order." The concubines thanked the emperor, the queen mother and the queen mother for their trust. ”

I smiled and asked her to get up, and said to Concubine Tong: "Sister Concubine Tong, Sister E has just entered the palace and is not familiar with the affairs of the palace, so you can take Sister E to get familiar with it in the next few days, ah!" I looked like I had just remembered: "Concubine Yi has been grounded for a few days, how can I teach my new sister to learn etiquette?" It's better to let Sister E be responsible for this matter, my sister will find a few people who are familiar with the etiquette in the palace, and assist Sister E a lot, my sister said okay? ”

Concubine Tong agreed with a smile, but this smile was extremely stiff.

My approach, in the eyes of the concubines, is undoubtedly to win over the dark clouds and cultivate their own power, most of the concubines are a "see how the virtuous concubine was played to death by Concubine Tong" The expression of the eight women, the new show girl looked at me and changed a little, but this change is very subtle.

Even if this matter is settled, the new show girls returned to their positions and sat down, and the two little brothers and the three little Gege, under the guidance of the old grandmother, greeted me, and listened to their immature voices shouting: "Say hello to the emperor." My eyes fell on Xuan Ye, who was standing in the second position.

After they stood up, I couldn't help but beckoned to Xuan Ye and said, "Third Elder Brother, come, let the Emperor take a good look at you." ”

Xuan Ye walked over to me with a wink, and when we met again, we looked at each other and smiled, and we all lowered our eyes to hide the excitement in our eyes. I turned to Concubine Tong and said, "I haven't seen the third elder brother in this palace for a long time, and I really miss him a little." ”

Concubine Tong looked at Xuan Ye, her body exuded a maternal brilliance, and her face looked much better, she smiled: "A few days ago, the third elder brother was also clamoring to go to my sister to say goodbye." ”

Shunzhi glanced at me and instructed lightly: "Chang Xi, add a seat to Xuan Ye." ”

Chang Xi hurriedly commanded the little eunuch to bring a chair and put it between me and Wuyunzhu, and Concubine Tong's face flashed with a hint of joy, her son can share the table with the emperor at the family banquet, and he doesn't have to be with other Ah Gegege, which also shows the difference between Xuan Ye and the emperor in his heart. In comparison, the face of Ning Concubine, the mother of the second elder brother Fuquan, is not so good-looking.

After everyone was seated, Shunzhi ordered the meal, and the family banquet of the Mid-Autumn Festival finally began, I looked at the dishes that came up one by one, and secretly swallowed my saliva, I didn't eat for a whole day, I was almost hungry.

Just when I secretly signaled the attacker to give me the vegetables I liked to eat, Chang Xi put a delicate and small jade bowl in front of me, full of lily bird's nest.

I looked at Chang Xi in puzzlement, Chang Xi's eyes quickly glanced at Shunzhi, I looked at Shunzhi in surprise, Shunzhi had a trace of discomfort on his face, and turned his head to talk to the Queen Mother.

Is this something he specially prepared for me? Afraid I won't be able to eat anything else?

I lowered my head and smiled shallowly, I probably smiled very happily, so that Xuan Ye next to me looked at me with a very surprised look, Xuan Ye looked at me, hesitated, took my hand, held it in his arms, like a coquettish child, my palm came from a thin stroke, I felt it carefully, it was Xuan Ye writing, what was written: Don't you go.
