Chapter 209: Peace of Mind
Cang Lian looked at the slightly panicked appearance of the two people, and couldn't help but gently hook her lips: "The two sisters are exempt." ”
Last time, there was a dispute with Concubine Ying, and Ge Zishan suffered a lot. Concubine Ying ostensibly obeyed the queen's words and didn't bother with them at all. But in private, there were a lot of stumbling blocks. Every time the clothes are sent to be washed, either they are washed here and off the line, or the more they are washed there, the dirtier they become, or they will be sent for half a month, and they will not be sent back without urging.
Moreover, the food sent into her palace is less than that of others, and it is not fresh.
This kind of grievance, if you talk to others, you will only be ridiculed by others, and you have no ability at all, and you are still a noble concubine. No one could really help her.
So this time, when she met Concubine Pian, she might even hear them talking, and Ge Zishan was silent. She didn't want to suffer any more.
"Why is Concubine Mao full of worries, aren't you happy to see this palace?" Cang Lian asked deliberately.
Ge Zishan hurriedly shook her head: "No, the concubine has misunderstood, the concubine has just been enjoying the flowers for a long time and is a little tired." ”
Hearing that her tone was a little flustered, Yang Yunbi reached out and grabbed her wrist: "That's the case, Sister Zishan didn't sleep well last night, and she felt tired after a conversation." The concubine was about to send her back to the palace, so she wouldn't delay the concubine's flower-appreciation. ”
As she spoke, she pulled Ge Zishan to salute the concubine, ready to retire.
"Concubine Mao can't sleep at night, I'm afraid it's because I miss the emperor, right?" Cang Lian's words poked into Ge Zishan's heart, and her face instantly turned pale when she looked at her.
"What the concubine Niangniang said is that the concubines in the palace, who is not looking forward to the emperor's grace day and night. Concubines and sisters are not exempt from vulgarity. Yang Yunbi always felt that the concubine had bad intentions, so she was also wary of her when she spoke.
"yes, that's right." Cang Pian said meaningfully: "All the queens in the harem and concubines from the micro-concubines, who don't look forward to the emperor's grace." It's a pity that the emperor is busy with political affairs every day, and even if he has time to walk around the harem, he rarely gets to the side of his two sisters...... It's really a beautiful flower, no one appreciates it, and it's pitiful. ”
"The concubine is fortunate to enter the palace and serve the emperor and queen, which is already the greatest blessing. The rest of the things, don't dare to be overly extravagant. There is still something in the palace, so I won't delay you to enjoy the flowers. The concubines and others retired first. "Yang Yunbi was about to leave, but she was blocked by the merciful concubine." Mother, you are ......"
"You said that you are so good at looking at flowers, of course, it is like you, and it can be broken. What's the point if you just let it be lonely and the branches are empty and lonely. It's a pity that it also lived up to it. Pity gave her a meaningful look. The queen's mother arranged for her sister to deal with all the affairs of the harem, which shows that her sister is a usable candidate in the queen's mind. In this case, it should have been more suitable to bring my sister, why did you use it, so it was idle and scattered? ”
"It's the concubine's strength that disappoints the queen." Yang Yunbi hooked her lips slightly: "But the concubine will definitely study with all her heart, and I hope that she can share the queen's worries in the future." ”
"Definitely." There was a faint coolness in Cang Lian's smile: "It's not that my sister can't handle it." But...... Your ambitious father finally bowed to the emperor and the imperial power, and was willing to be used by the emperor, abandoning superfluous thoughts. In order to show his loyalty, he pulled out a thorn in his heart for the emperor, and the turmoil in the previous dynasty gradually subsided under the control of the emperor. Your father judged the situation and did not disappoint the emperor. So the queen naturally doesn't have to use you anymore to contribute to the emperor's pacification of the previous dynasty. ”
Ge Zishan endured and endured, but still didn't hold back: "What does the pity mean by the concubine that the reason why the queen brought Sister Min to the first place was to cooperate with the emperor to suppress her sister's mother's family?" ”
"Why don't you understand this?" There was a sense of pride in Cang Lian's smile. "If the queen wants to cultivate people, she naturally has to choose to be loyal to her first. Why is it that in addition to Concubine Ying, Concubine Liao is also pregnant with the imperial heir? Just because she is loyal to the queen. No matter in adversity or in good times, as long as the queen needs, she will be loyal all the time, when the queen was grounded in the Fengling Palace, have you ever visited? This pales in comparison, doesn't a comparison distinguish between the superior and the inferior? ”
"Sister, the queen's move is really heartbreaking." Ge Zishan couldn't help but tremble: "On the one hand, I support you in every way, and on the other hand, I please the emperor." And we can't see her thoughts, and the emperor successfully calmed down the turmoil. To this day, we are still grateful to her for Dade's ......"
"Don't talk about it." Yang Yunbi frowned: "Trouble comes from the mouth." Sister, don't listen to the wind and rain. ”
Yang Yunbi's words were obviously also said to the poor concubine. If you want to sow discord, can a few words be enough? It's too easy to control others. "Pity the concubine Niangniang's words, the concubine left the imperial garden, just as if she hadn't heard it. The emperor once told the harem not to discuss the government in vain, let alone collude inside and outside, to pass the news in the palace back to his mother's house. The concubine reminded the sisters in the palace like this, and also reminded herself at all times. What words can be said and what words cannot be listened to, the concubine knows in her heart. ”
"Look, you're the one who can handle it." Cang Lian wasn't angry, but smiled so gently: "But who else knows your thoughts?" You don't care about yourself, but your mother's family has to make sacrifices for you. Your father could have been the prime minister, but he ...... has become a shameless man who betrays his friends and seeks glory. I guess it's been a long time since you've delivered a letter home, right? Now your mother's family seems to be in a beautiful situation, but in fact it is very difficult. Former friends, lest they avoid it. Even if there are those who come to the door, they are just flattering villains. People, that's often how realistic they are. ”
Yang Yunbi was flustered by what she said, and she couldn't refute it for a while.
Ge Zishan couldn't bear it anymore, and saluted the concubine: "The concubine has not been blessed since she entered the palace, and please have mercy on the concubine and show a clear way for the concubine." ”
"Sister......" Yang Yunbi wanted to stop Ge Zishan, but it was too late. She was a little annoyed, how could Ge Zishan be so easy to be like a concubine. But at this time, she went to say something, but she became a villain, and she smiled awkwardly: "Since my sister still has important things to ask the concubine, the concubine will retire first." ”
After speaking, she let go of Ge Zishan's hand, saluted again, and left in a hurry.
"Don't mind the concubine, my sister is such a straight person. Sometimes you can't turn a corner. But the concubine felt that sooner or later her sister would know who was the one she could really rely on. I also ask the concubine to give her concubine a chance to serve you by your side. Ge Zishan respectfully maintained a formal appearance, hanging her head, very sincere.
It's a pity that Cang Lianda didn't take a fancy to this one from the beginning.
At best, she's a knife that can exit to stab someone. When something happens, there is no door on the mouth. If such a person stays around, he will only become rampant and overwhelmed. In case one day, she really needs to show loyalty, and she will run faster than anyone else.
"That's it." Cang Lian had no intention of bothering her again. "It's not too early, the palace is lacking."
"Pity the concubine." Ge Zishan could feel that the concubine in front of her had no good impression of her at all. As soon as Concubine Min left, she had no interest in speaking, which couldn't be more obvious. "Mother, please stay."
Cang glanced at her unhappily: "What? ”
"Since the concubine entered the palace, she has longed for a shelter. The queen's eyes are higher than the top, and she naturally looks down on the humble concubines like concubines. But you are so kind and willing to teach your concubines these truths. But the concubine also has one thing, which can repay the mother's mention today. Ge Zishan smiled faintly: "Since the concubine entered the palace, she has been close to Concubine Min's sister. My sister's temperament is too upright, and she doesn't know how to be flexible in many things. The concubine thought that she could persuade her sister first, maybe her sister would soon understand the truth. ”
Cang Lian looked at Ge Zishan and smiled, after all, she was not too stupid, and she was a little smart. "That's good, wow."
"The concubine did not delay the mother's flower-appreciating flowers, and retired first. On a good day, the concubine accompanied her sister to the Niangniang Palace to ask for peace. Ge Zishan smiled lightly, like picking up a treasure on the ground. I don't know how to be favored, so such a good opportunity fell from the sky.
Only then did Cang Lian walk out of the imperial garden satisfied. The people who accompanied her were still waiting for her. She enjoys the feeling of hugging each other very much, which is very comforting.
In the Fengling Palace, Cen Muning was not idle.
As soon as they put down the brush, Qingli and Bingling returned to their lives.
"How?" Cen Mu Ning looked at his painting and couldn't help but hook his lips.
Bingling said solemnly: "Niangniang really didn't guess wrong, leaving Fengling Palace, Concubine Pian went to the Imperial Garden to talk to Concubine Min and Concubine Mao. Because the concubine was good, she would inevitably notice it, and the slave didn't dare to get too close. But seeing the respectful appearance of Concubine Mao, she must have had the intention to get closer. It was Concubine Min, who was in a hurry to leave first. ”
"Hmm." Cen Mu nodded slightly, and asked Qingli again: "How are you over there?" ”
"Back to Niangniang's words, Jingqiao is really the master's person. The concubine went to the Imperial Garden and told her to dispose of the books. She directly took the booklet and entered the Qingxuan Hall through the secret passage. When Qing Li said this, he couldn't help but worry: "After all, that booklet is something you took from the outer house, if the master sees it, will he think that you are deliberately threatening the concubine......
"Actually, I have always felt that the emperor knows a little bit about Cang Lian and Chu Peiyuan." Cen Mooning motioned for the two of them to put the painting away: "When it's dry, take it and frame it." ”
"Yes. But if the mother's master knows those things, why can she still accept her? Qingli was a little surprised.
"It can only show that the emperor really likes her." Cen Muning said softly and calmly: "Even if you know what happened to her in the past, you don't think it has anything to do with it." must value her more now. The emperor has never been framed by these worldly things, and he does it casually, so why care. ”
"That'...... Concubine Min's ...... Bingling couldn't help but worry: "Will she be co-opted by Concubine Pity to deal with you?" ”
"Probably not." Cen Muning is still a little sure: "It's not because I once carried her, but because I ...... She has a high level in her bones, and she would rather die standing than live on her knees. What is Cang Lian's background, if you want Concubine Min to be sincere to her, you have to put some thought into it. ”
"Concubine Mao, the villain, Concubine Min brought her, and she was also favored by her mother. In the blink of an eye, I can't wait to deal with you. Qing Li's eyes were cold: "If such a person stays in the palace, sooner or later it will be a scourge, it is better to pull it out earlier, and it will save the time when the east window incident happens, and it will be troublesome." ”
"You." Cen Mu Ning glared at her: "It seems that this palace can't tolerate concubines with different minds in this harem." You don't want to think about it, there are so many people in this harem, how many of them can really be good to me. According to your theory, I'm afraid there won't be a few left. Hongu really became a jealous woman, and her name went down in history. ”
"Hey, hey." Qingli smiled embarrassedly: "What Niangniang said is, then it's not too late to wait for her to make a mistake and then clean her up." But just in case, the slave will arrange for someone she can trust to pay attention to. ”
"Hmm." Cen Mu nodded his head: "It's best to guide her to serve the emperor well, don't have so many evil thoughts." ”
"Yes." Qingli agreed, but in his heart he didn't agree with what the queen said. If a person already has a harmful mind, what can be the effect of guidance and dissuasion? If she is given a knife and told to kill the person she hates, she will not hesitate. Such a person can only be completely reassured by dying.
