Concubine De's Yanjia Hall is not far from the Ganlu Palace, and Concubine De enthusiastically pulled Gu Mingzhu to sit in the palace car, and smiled Yan Yan and told her about the palace affairs: "...... Yesterday, you were afraid that you were scared, Sun Baolin is such a personality, he spoke without concealment, and he punished her for this queen of heaven, but she is a person who remembers eating and not remembering, don't care. ”

Gu Mingzhu listened to her gentle words, and bowed with a smile: "The courtiers don't dare." ”

It's not strange in my heart, Sun Baolin obviously has a very deep holiday with Concubine De, and it is unbearable for anyone to bear the matter of Diao Nu's betrayal of the master, but Concubine De still helped her explain, with a look of indifference, is it really a bodhisattva's heart?

Recalling the Concubine De in her memory, she seems to be a good-tempered and good-natured person, although she has no heirs in the palace for many years, she is kind to people everywhere, and she does not fight for favor, otherwise the queen of heaven will not allow her to be a concubine all these years, and she will hand over the Shanggong Bureau to her on her behalf.

Concubine De looked at her, smiled and patted her hands: "I want you to come today is also selfish, in a few days it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, the saint and the queen of heaven are going to set up a Double Ninth Festival banquet, and invited all the families and the Langjun ladies of your mansion, but it was handed over to me to take care of, I was worried that so many things could not be arranged, fortunately now with you, you can also help take a look." ”

Looking at Gu Mingzhu who was surprised, she smiled gently: "It's not a difficult thing, don't worry, those female officials of the Shang Palace Bureau are used to doing it, you just help me take a look, you don't have to worry about anything." ”

"This time the palace banquet even invited several concubines in Shou'an Palace, the concubines like you the most smart and lovely little lady, you can't say that there will be a reward, not to mention the amount of reward, it is rare decency." Concubine De said with a smile and looked at Gu Mingzhu meaningfully.

This is obviously mentioning Gu Mingzhu, Gu Mingzhu wanted to get up and say thanks, but was held down by Concubine De, and laughed softly: "Sit down, you are a little lady who has just entered the palace, I am afraid that I don't know a lot of things, I can help if I can, where do I want you to thank you like this." ”

When they arrived at the Yanjia Palace, the two Shang Palaces of the Shang Palace Bureau were already waiting outside the palace.

Qi Shanggong had seen Gu Mingzhu before, and with a gentle and respectful smile on her face, she bowed down on her knees: "Niangniang, the county lord is fine." ”

Another Shang Gong, who was a little older, was dressed in a vermilion orchid bird round-necked female palace dress, but her face was straight, and she bent her knees and said, "Niangniang, the lord of Lingling County is fine." ”

Concubine De Niangniang hurriedly asked people to step forward to support her: "What is Zhou Shanggong doing, please get up, let's go in and talk." ”

Zhou Shanggong didn't push back, but when he got up, his eyes swept over Gu Mingzhu, and he seemed to pause, and soon calmly took Qi Shanggong and several female officials to follow Concubine De and Gu Mingzhu into the palace.

“…… The Daming Palace has been fully repaired, with more than 100 seats in the Hanyuan Palace, and all the palaces and pavilions have been arranged, and the places for shooting salutes have also been arranged. Zhou Shangshu said with a straight look.

Concubine De nodded again and again, smiling: "You have worked hard, you have worked hard to decorate the Daming Palace these days." ”

She turned to look at Gu Mingzhu: "It's just that the Double Ninth Festival banquet is unusual, even the concubines are going to pass, it is about the face of the saint and the queen of heaven, but I can't be careless." I'm also flawless, so I'll leave the matter of this dogwood sachet to Mingzhu to arrange. ”

Zhou Shangshu and Qi Shangshu couldn't help but look at Gu Mingzhu, Gu Mingzhu had no choice but to get up and bend his knees: "Yes." ”

Concubine De smiled: "At that time, these purses will be prepared by the Si Decoration Division, you can just help to see if they are distributed to the palaces." She pursed her lips again: "You can send it over to the concubines and ladies in person." ”

Speaking of which, in such a big event as the Double Ninth Festival banquet, distributing dogwood sachets is indeed just a trivial matter, and it is also a light matter that is easy to gain face, and Concubine De did choose a good errand for Gu Mingzhu.

Gu Mingzhu thanked him softly, but he was not overjoyed because of this.

Zhou Shanggong, who was standing on the side, had his eyes flashing slightly, and asked the female officials to send them to Concubine De with various lists, and talked about the preparations for the festival banquet in detail.

"Niangniang, Sun Baolin is here, I want to see Zhou Shanggong." The palace maid came in and said.

Zhou Shanggong's voice stopped, and looked at Concubine De, Gu Mingzhu also felt tight, looked at Concubine De, and waited for her to speak, this is Concubine De's Yanjia Palace, I didn't expect Sun Baolin to dare to come to Yanjia Palace, and said that it was to see Zhou Shanggong, obviously not to take Concubine De in his eyes.

In the eyes of everyone, Concubine De smiled calmly: "She is well-informed, let her in." ”

Her smile was gentle as usual, and there was no hint of guilt.

Sun Baolin helped the palace maid to come in with her head held high, and only when she arrived in the hall did she bend her knees slightly: "Concubine De is fine." ”

Without waiting for Concubine De to call up, she had already helped the palace maid's hand up, turned her head to look at Zhou Shanggong, but the arrogance on her face was a little more restrained, and said with a smile: "Seeing that the autumn is cool, there are still a lot of things in my palace, but I didn't give them when I sent someone to the Shanggong Bureau before, and now I have to come over to see Zhou Shanggong by myself." ”

Zhou Shanggong was neither humble nor arrogant in arrears: "Baolin has tormented the minister, according to the rules of the palace, the use of the Chengxiang Palace has been exceeded, and the minister does not dare to break the rules." ”

Sun Baolin's face suddenly turned a little ugly, but he didn't have a seizure like usual, he just gritted his teeth and snorted coldly: "The horizontal saint has been in the Chengxiang Hall for the past two days, I have asked for the grace of the saint, and it is not too late to let people go to the Shanggong Bureau." ”

There was no way to deal with Zhou Shanggong in the Shang Palace Bureau, she turned to look at Gu Mingzhu who was sitting on the side, and sneered: "The Lingling County Lord has a vision, and she has found a backer in the palace so quickly, but she is not blessed, and she will not end well if she is careful." ”

As she spoke, she angrily took the hand of the palace maid and walked out, without even saying goodbye to Concubine De, so she walked out of the palace like that.

Concubine De watched her walk out, and then sighed: "She still has this temperament, the most strong, some time ago, Wang Meiren and Zhang Cairen went to the Queen of Heaven to say that she ignored the rules and robbed them of their clothes." Anyway, I didn't teach her well, otherwise I wouldn't have become like this. ”

Zhou Shanggong and Qi Shanggong bowed down to listen to Concubine De's words, and they didn't look up, Gu Mingzhu had no choice but to say softly: "Niangniang is relieved." ”

Concubine De shook her head and sighed: "Mingzhu is here, I don't want to say more, it's just that." ”

Coming out of Concubine De's palace, Gu Mingzhu's face was a little gloomy, she couldn't imagine that she would be involved in the dispute in the inner court so quickly, who should Concubine De and Sun Baolin believe?

"County Lord," Qi Shanggong's voice came from behind her, "Later the minister will send the dogwood sachet to Qiluan Pavilion, and ask the county lord to inspect it." ”

Gu Mingzhu turned around and saw Qi Shanggong's respectful smile, but Zhou Shanggong on the side looked at her indifferently, without expression, but that gaze seemed to hide countless secrets and depths, so that she couldn't see the truth.
