Chapter 19 The Duchess of Zhenguo

Concubine Zhao's face stiffened, and she said with a forced smile: "The concubine's calligraphy is vulgar, and she can't be on the stage, but she has a lot of attainments in calligraphy." ”

Nie Yan shook her head and said: "This copying of Buddhist scriptures can only play a role, when it comes to the heart of Concubine Qi, my sister should be the first, don't shirk it anymore." Come on, go and get the scriptures to Concubine Zhao. ”

Concubine Zhao still wanted to distinguish, but she couldn't find an excuse anymore. According to the meaning of Nie Yan's words, doesn't it mean that his intentions for Concubine Qi are fake?

Concubine Zhao dared to offend Nie Yan, but she didn't dare to offend Concubine Qi, so she had to pinch her nose and admit it, and she threw it to Fang Cairen when she went back.

Thinking about this, Concubine Zhao agreed: "Since Niangniang values the concubine, the concubine obeys the order." ”

Nie Yan naturally saw Concubine Zhao's good idea, and said with a smile: "This Diamond Sutra will be handed over to you, and the palace will be relieved." In this way, it is good to ask the talented people for a good tea ceremony. ”

"Talented people? Tea ceremony? Concubine Zhao was puzzled.

Nie Yan chuckled and said, "What, doesn't Sister Zhao know that Fang Cairen has exquisite tea skills?" The palace has been admiring the Chu tea ceremony for a long time in Nanzhan, and this time there is a sister who is willing to teach tea art, which is excellent. ”

Concubine Zhao was stunned, she didn't know when the surnamed Fang had a relationship with Nie Yan? Sure enough, he is a carefree eater!

In Zhao Concubine's view, the tea ceremony has always been something that cannot be put on the table, and only those low-level maids will learn it, so even if she knows that Fang Cairen has exquisite tea skills, Zhao Concubine has never taken it seriously.

But I didn't expect Nie Yan to have this hobby, but it made Zhao Concubine look down on Nie Yan again, sure enough, she came from a small country and had never seen the world.

But in this way, the plan to ask someone to help her copy the scriptures can only fail.

Between the words, Su Yun had already taken the scriptures and handed them to the palace maid beside Concubine Zhao.

Seeing that the pages of the book were not too thick, Concubine Zhao felt a little more comfortable, so she said to Nie Yan: "The concubine will go back and copy the Buddhist scriptures, so that she can pray for Concubine Qi as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, Sister Zhao Concubine go back. The main palace will not send much. Nie Yan agreed.

Zhao Concubine saluted Nie Yan and was about to retreat, but she heard Nie Yan say again: "I forgot to tell Sister Zhao that the master said that the scriptures must be copied seven hundred and forty-nine times to show sincerity!" ”

When Concubine Zhao heard this, her legs were weak, and she almost fell down, and replied with an ugly face: "The concubine understands." ”

Then half of his body pressed on the palace maid who was accompanying him, and hurriedly walked out of Nie Yan's dormitory.

"Niangniang, look at her panicked look, but it's a pity that Wanhui didn't see it, otherwise she might be happy." Su Yun smiled rarely.

Nie Yan said indifferently: "I just hope that she can stop for a few days." ”

"After this incident, presumably Concubine Zhao also knows that Niangniang is not a random bully, but that talented person, we don't seem to have talked to her about discussing tea art? Do you want the slave to go and say something? Su Yun asked with a frown.

Nie Yan shook her head slightly and said, "Don't be so troublesome, if she is a smart person, she will know what to do." ”

Su Yun should not mention them anymore, but asked again: "Those minions who have committed crimes, are they going to invite the prince to come and send them?" ”

According to the palace rules, if there are minions that do not meet the master's wishes, you can ask the head of the internal affairs department to reallocate manpower. But everyone in the palace knows that unless it is above the concubine position, other grades of palace concubines may not be able to invite the head of the Internal Affairs Office.

Of course, the palace concubines who are being favored cannot be divided by grade.

Although Nie Yan is not yet favored, she still has a status, although she can let Wang Zhi come to send these people away, but the new ones may not be much better, but these who have been beaten will have a long memory.

"No, but those minions can't be of much use." Nie Yan instructed.

Su Yun wrote it down, but said again: "Among those eunuchs today, there is a man named Fushun, but he didn't go to Concubine Zhao's side. ”

"Oh? Why didn't you go? Could it be that he didn't know that there was a benefit to going over there to help? Nie Yan said with some curiosity.

Su Yun replied: "Fushun said that his master warned him that there are two-minded servants in the palace who will not live long. ”

The eunuchs in the palace have been clean into the palace since they were young, and the old eunuchs teach the rules, mostly commensurate with the master and apprentice, and only a few will recognize the father-son relationship and ask for the continuation of the incense.

Nie Yan listened and felt that Fushun was a little interesting, so she said to Su Yun: "His master is a smart person. There is still a shortage of eunuchs in our palace, so let's give it to him. ”

Su Yun was shocked when she heard this, and said, "Niangniang, I'm afraid this is too hasty, right?" Besides, Fushun is only twenty years old, how can he become a eunuch in charge of the first palace at such a young age? ”

Nie Yan didn't care, and said, "It's okay, as long as he can finish this errand, the position of the chief manager is his." ”

When Su Yun heard this, he understood what Nie Yan meant.

Those minions had just been beaten by the board, but Deshun not only did not take the board, but became the general manager, and he was definitely not convinced. Therefore, the son of Deshun may not be able to sit firmly.

For Nie Yan, if Deshun can subdue those minions, he can prove his ability, which can be of great use. And Nie Yan has the grace to promote him because of this, even if he is not loyal, he can guarantee that he will not be easily bought.

But if Deshun can't hold on to being ousted from power in two days, Nie Yan won't have anything to lose, and then go left and right to find Wang Zhi and pick someone who can be used.

"Niangniang, the queen mother announced that you will go to Ningkun Palace to meet you." Wan Hui entered the temple.

Nie Yan looked at the already dark sky outside the window, and wondered why Queen Xu asked her to go so late?

In the Ningkun Palace, the smile on Queen Xu's face was very reluctant, and there was a richly dressed middle-aged lady sitting in the hall, with a golden hairpin on her head, reflecting the light of the candle flame, which was extremely dazzling.

As soon as Nie Yan stepped into Ningkun Palace, she saw this scene.

"The concubine has seen the queen's mother, and the mother is a thousand years old Jin'an." Nie Yan saluted.

When Empress Xu saw that Nie Yan had arrived, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and said, "Concubine Shu, hurry up and excuse me." By the way, this palace has not told you yet, this lady is Concubine Qi's biological mother. ”

"It turned out to be the Duchess of Zhenguo, but she came to visit Concubine Qi's sister?" Nie Yan greeted, but did not salute.

According to the regulations, Nie Yan is the imperial concubine, even if the status of the prince of Zhenguo is prominent, she is still a courtier. It is the lady who should salute him.

But Nie Yan knew that now that the power of Zhenguo Gong was monstrous, if his wife was unwilling to salute his concubine, Nie Yan would not be reluctant.

But I don't know if Queen Xu called her so late has something to do with this Duchess of the Kingdom?

"You're the concubine?" Qi Xiao glanced at Nie Yan and said, but he didn't pay attention to what Nie Yan asked before.

Nie Yan said in her heart that this person was afraid that the person who came was not good, so she secretly guarded against it, and said, "Madame, is there something wrong?" ”

Qi Xiao didn't seem to hear Nie Yan's words, and directly turned his head to Queen Xu and said: "Queen Mother, the courtiers heard that Concubine Qi and Concubine Shu have a very good relationship, and the courtiers hope that this time Concubine Qi Xiaoyue, Concubine Shu can often accompany Concubine Qi to relieve the pain of Concubine Qi's loss of a child!" ”

Nie Yan was furious when she heard this, what is the difference between this and letting her serve Concubine Qi? For some reason, Concubine Qi's family seemed to have a grudge against her in her previous life, and they never let her be stable when they entered the palace.

Queen Xu didn't know how to deal with it on the side, the Zhenguo Mansion was powerful, Xiao Yu still had to be polite, she was just a queen, what could she do? But if Concubine Shu is really allowed to go like this, won't the rules be messed up?

How can there be a reason for a high-ranking concubine to serve a low-ranking concubine?
