She thought for a while before waving her hand to the little eunuch and said, "Go and invite the concubine to come in!" ”

"Yes." The little eunuch agreed, and invited Wan Zhen'er in.

Queen Wang personally stood up and stepped forward, and said: "I haven't seen the concubine for a few days, and I miss you very much, and it just so happens that you are here again, and I just wanted to see you in the palace." ”

Wan Zhen'er saw that what Queen Wang said was a little insincere, and she was not deep, she just smiled and said: "I am just a concubine, and the queen is the mother of the world, how dare I invite the queen to see me in the Xianfu Palace, it would be better for me to visit the queen." ”

Queen Wang smiled a little embarrassedly, and comforted Wan Zhen'er and said, "The concubine doesn't know how you have been recently?" Wan Zhen'er nodded, and there was a hint of surprise on her face, she said: "Yes, this palace has indeed been okay recently, but there is always a thorn in the heart of this palace, and I hope that the queen can remove this thorn for this palace as soon as possible, and then not only can help this palace, but also help you." ”

When Queen Wang heard Wan Zhen'er say this, she didn't understand in her heart that the thorn in Wan Zhen'er's mouth was Tang Jingran, her heart suddenly froze, and she immediately smiled and said: "Okay, I have written down everything you said, Sister Guifei can rest assured, as for how to deal with Tang Jingran, we still need to think about it in the long run, we need to deal with Tang Jingran is small, and offending the eldest princess is big, so this matter must be planned foolproof!" ”

"Yes, Queen Wang is thinking more and more about things now."

Wan Zhen'er pretended to praise her, and when the two of them were talking, they suddenly heard a noise outside.

Wan Zhen'er couldn't help frowning, and said, "Queen Wang, you treat your subordinates too leniently on weekdays, and let them make such unscrupulous noise outside. ”

Queen Wang couldn't help but shake her head and said, "It's not that I treat my subordinates leniently, and it's not my subordinates who are making this noise, but Concubine Shun." ”

"Concubine Shun! Which Shun Concubine? ”

Wan Zhen'er was slightly stunned, and asked, after she asked, she suddenly remembered that the concubine Shun was the concubine in the cold palace that she saw in the back garden that day.

She immediately nodded and said: "I know, that day, the queen mother asked the queen mother to move this concubine Shun to the side hall in the Kunning Palace, I don't know if Concubine Shun is still living in the Kunning Palace of the mother?" ”

Wan Zhen'er's words really mean acne, because that day, Concubine Shun used mud to paste Wan Zhen'er's head and face, which made Wan Zhen'er very ugly, so Wan Zhen'er has always held a grudge in her heart.

When Queen Wang heard Wan Zhen'er say this, she hurriedly explained to her with some embarrassment: "I want to explain to you what happened to Sister Guifei that day, because it was the Queen Mother who accompanied me that day, so I saw Concubine Shun Niangniang at that time, and I can't help but say a few good words for her, otherwise I am afraid that I will be blamed by the Queen Mother, and our previous efforts will be wasted." ”

Queen Wang kept explaining to Wan Zhen'er, Wan Zhen'er smiled and said: "Queen Mother, why do you have to think too much, I don't mean anything else, I'm just talking about this matter, okay, since she is so pitiful, then the palace should also visit her!" ”

After saying that, Wan Zhen'er walked out, Queen Wang originally wanted to stop her, but suddenly her heart moved, and she seemed to think of something in an instant, so she didn't even open her mouth to stop Wan Zhen'er.

So, Wan Zhen'er walked forward, after walking out of the main hall, when she arrived in the courtyard, she saw Concubine Shun making a lot of noise there, she was still holding a piece of almond cake in her hand, the whole person looked crazy, and the wrinkles on her face were already very thick, if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see her age at all, no one would have thought that this very old looking old Yu was the person favored by the emperor at the beginning, which was really incredible.

Wan Zhen'er couldn't help but snort in her nose when she saw this, although she also knew that the Empress Dowager Zhou really cared about this Concubine Shun, but she always felt that everything that the Empress Dowager Zhou did to Concubine Shun was fake, it was just a gesture, what a ruthless person the Empress Dowager Zhou was, Wan Zhen'er didn't understand, she felt that the Empress Dowager Zhou's personality was definitely not so kind.

And Queen Wan Zhen'er felt a little amused by her actions, because she felt that Queen Wang did this because she didn't understand the Empress Dowager Zhou at all, and if she knew what kind of person the Empress Dowager Zhou was, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to ask for help with Concubine Shun.

Although the Empress Dowager Zhou said on the surface that she looked very good to Concubine Shun, no one knew what she was thinking behind her back, maybe the Empress Dowager Zhou just wanted to make a gesture, wanting to show the people in the Sixth Palace that she was a good Empress Dowager who practiced benevolent government, and took good care of the people who scolded Concubine Shun like this, but in fact, she might hate this Concubine Shun to death in her heart, and wished that Concubine Shun would die early at any time!

In Wan Zhen'er's mind, she has always felt that the Empress Dowager Zhou is used to being powerful, and if she wants her to accommodate someone, it is simply impossible, she is not even willing to accommodate an elder like Jian Huaizhen, let alone a concubine who lives in the cold palace all the year round?

If she really has Concubine Shun in her heart and really regards Concubine Shun as a sister, then why has Concubine Shun been locked up in this harem for decades, and she has never been willing to ask about it, and when she saw Concubine Shun the day before yesterday, she moved out of that posture?

It can be seen that she must have disliked this concubine Shun in her heart, but in order to make people think that she is a benevolent and virtuous queen mother, so she made such a performance to show others.

Since Wan Zhen'er had made up her mind in her heart, she walked out, and after walking out, she saw Concubine Shun yelling and making trouble there, she stepped forward and snatched the macaroons from Concubine Shun's hand, Concubine Shun didn't expect Wan Zhen'er to do this, she suddenly yelled at Wan Zhen'er.

Wan Zhen'er looked at her coldly and said: "Concubine Shun, this macaroon is in my hand, if you want it, you can take it, if you don't want it, then you don't want it." ”

After saying that, she threw the macaroons far away, and threw them far away, and after the concubine Shun saw it, she made a roaring motion at her, and then ran over and picked up the macaroons, which had a lot of mud sticking to them, but Concubine Shun didn't care and still ate there very comfortably.

Wan Zhen'er couldn't help but sneer when she saw her appearance.

And at this time, Queen Wang also came over, and after Queen Wang came over, she pulled Wan Zhen'er's shirt and said: "Sister Guifei, this Shun Concubine Niangniang was ordered by the Empress Dowager Zhou to take care of me, Sister Guifei still don't embarrass her." ”

Wan Zhen'er sneered and said, "It was the Empress Dowager Zhou who asked Haosheng to take care of it, so what? This Concubine Shun is so ignorant, and she is still making a lot of noise in this harem, she simply disappoints the Empress Dowager Zhou's heart for her, if I don't teach her a good lesson today, then I am not sorry for myself, and I am sorry for the old demon woman who beat me with mud that day. ”

After finishing speaking, she ignored the queen's obstruction, continued to walk forward, pointed at the concubine Shun and said, "Concubine Shun, what about your madness?" Is it possible to escape punishment by pretending to be crazy and stupid? I advise you, you'd better not make a big fuss in this Kunning Palace, if not, this palace will definitely not forgive you easily, hum! Is there still lawlessness in this harem? ”

Seeing this, Queen Wang hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded Wan Zhen'er: "Okay, Sister Guifei, Concubine Shun, she didn't mean to be like this, in fact, she is really crazy, and please don't see her like her anymore." ”

Wan Zhen'er saw that Queen Wang was so timid and afraid, her heart became more and more happy, she thought that Queen Wang was really cowardly and afraid, but she didn't expect that Queen Wang had already come up with a plan in her heart at this moment.

The reason why Wan Zhen'er is so kind to Concubine Shun is that she is also figuring out the mind of the Empress Dowager Zhou, and it is also a difficult thing to figure out the mind of the Empress Dowager Zhou, if she is right, the Empress Dowager Zhou will definitely praise her, but if she is wrong, the Empress Dowager Zhou will not let her go easily.

But Wan Zhen'er has served the Empress Dowager Zhou for so many years, and no one knows better than her what the Empress Dowager Zhou is thinking, she feels that in the mind of the Empress Dowager Zhou, even Jian Huaizhen and the Empress Dowager Qian are not so in her eyes, let alone a little crazy woman Concubine Shun?

And the Empress Dowager Zhou is the best face, so the reason why she does so much is nothing more than a gesture, Wan Zhen'er just expected that the Empress Dowager Zhou is this kind of mind, so she deliberately showed Concubine Shun's face, she felt that as long as she showed Concubine Shun's face, this would make Empress Dowager Zhou feel that she was a very profitable and helpful person.

Concubine Shun couldn't help but be a little annoyed at this time, picked up a brick from the ground again, and threw it at Wan Zhen'er, the brick smashed on Wan Zhen'er's shoulder impartially, Wan Zhen'er sighed in pain, and then walked forward and didn't think about it, raised her hand and gave Concubine Shun a slap, and Concubine Shun was beaten by her, like a dead leaf in the wind, and almost fell to the ground.

Queen Wang hurriedly stepped forward to help Concubine Shun, and reprimanded Wan Zhen'er and said: "Sister Guifei, this is my Kunning Palace after all, please don't make trouble here, if you do it again, how can the Queen Mother blame it?" ”

Wan Zhen'er smiled and said, "Okay, I will treat it as a face for the queen today, so I don't care about Concubine Shun, but I hope this kind of thing will not happen again in the future." ”

After speaking, she took Mama Chen and left without looking back.

On the way, Mama Chen couldn't help but say to her with some trepidation: "Niangniang, the slave thinks that what you did just now is too impulsive. ”

"Impulsive, why did you say that Hongu was impulsive just now?" Wan Zhen'er sneered a little.

Mama Chen thought for a long time before she raised her head and said: "Niangniang, it's not that the slave is overly worried, do you think that Concubine Shun was personally named by the Empress Dowager Zhou for the queen to contain, and just now she was making trouble in the queen's palace, Niangniang, you instead helped the queen slap her, if this matter reached the ears of the Empress Dowager Zhou, how could the Empress Dowager Zhou be so easy to forget with you?" ”

Wan Zhen'er smiled coldly and said, "Mama Chen, you have been in the palace for so long, and you can be regarded as an old lady in the palace, can't you still understand such a little thing?" ”

"Please speak up." Mama Chen hurriedly asked.

Wan Zhen'er said unhurriedly: "Okay, since Mama Chen is like this, then this palace will explain this matter to you clearly, you listen to this palace to talk about this matter!" What do you think, that Concubine Shun was originally the master of the Empress Dowager Zhou, and the Empress Dowager Zhou was Concubine Shun's maid, in the mind of the Empress Dowager Zhou, as long as she saw Concubine Shun, she would remember the days when she was a slave, and who would want to think of the days she lived when she was a slave? So she may not be very happy to see this Concubine Shun, and this Concubine Shun has repeatedly harmed her and the current emperor, with the personality of the Empress Dowager Zhou, will she not hold grudges? ”

Mama Chen seemed to have suddenly realized, and asked Wan Zhen'er repeatedly: "Niangniang, what do you mean is that in fact, the Empress Dowager Zhou hates this concubine very much in her heart, but she wants to make such a gesture on the surface to make people think that she is a benevolent queen mother, right?" ”

Wan Zhen'er nodded and said, "Mama Chen, you finally understand. ”

Wan Zhen'er and Mama Chen walked back to Xianfu Palace with a smile and a smile, Wan Zhen'er only thought that in this way, she had made a meritorious contribution in front of the Empress Dowager Zhou, but she didn't expect that after Queen Wang saw all this in her mind, she came up with a way.

Not long after Wan Zhen'er returned to Xianfu Palace, she saw that Queen Wang's people had sent a box of gift cakes, which were produced in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions and were rarely seen in Beijing.

Wan Zhen'er was a little strange, so she asked the little palace maid, "Why did your mother let you send this box of gift cakes?" ”

The palace maid smiled and said: "Qi Qi Guifei Niangniang, our Niangniang is because we thank the Guifei Niangniang for stopping the noise of Concubine Shun in Kunning Palace just now, so we specially came to thank Niangniang, and our Niangniang said that it would not be rude, and the Guifei Niangniang sent a lot of things to our queen Niangniang before, but our Niangniang has never reciprocated you, so I specially ordered me to bring this box of gift cakes over." ”

Wan Zhen'er opened the gift box and was taken aback, and found that the gift box was not a gift cake at all, but a silver and translucent jade Ruyi, the jade Ruyi looked very exquisite, there were no impurities at all, obviously carved with good Hetian jade, this jade Ruyi is priceless, even in the harem is rarely seen.

After Wan Zhen'er saw it, she couldn't help but ask Mama Chen: "Mama Chen, what did you say about the idea of this queen in her heart, why did she suddenly send this kind of thing to the palace?" ”

Mama Chen thought for a long time, and then she said to Wan Zhen'er: "Actually, Niangniang is also very easy to understand, Niangniang taught the queen so many things before, and let her regain the favor of the emperor and the queen mother, of course she is grateful to Niangniang, and in the matter of Concubine Shun, she didn't help Niangniang too much, presumably she was sincerely afraid, so she specially sent such a precious jade Ruyi to apologize to Niangniang." ”

"Do you think it's better for this palace to accept it or not?" Wan Zhen'er asked with a grin.

Mama Chen has always been open-eyed when she sees money, and she said repeatedly: "Of course I have to accept it, since the queen wants to give it to the concubine Niangniang, if the mother doesn't accept it, won't she live up to the wishes of others!" ”

Wan Zhen'er said with a smile: "Okay, since that's the case, the palace also respects her words, come and don't be rude, Mama Chen, you go and look for it, see what delicious and fun things are in our palace, find it or two and send it to Queen Wang!" ”

"Yes." Mama Chen agreed and walked down.

After Mama Chen went down, she randomly gathered some pastries, such as the almond cakes of Qianfuju, and the boy chicken of the Yellow Crane Tower, and so on, and then asked the little eunuch to send them over.

Although Mama Chen gave Queen Wang five or six things in a row, they were always some inexpensive pastries and the like, which was a world different from what Queen Wang gave to Wan Zhen'er.

After Queen Wang received the pastry, the whole person became very excited, Mu Xue looked very puzzled, she asked Queen Wang repeatedly: "Niangniang, why are you so happy, that jade Ruyi is your favorite in your life, last time it was accidentally moved, you also reprimanded the little palace maid, why are you willing to give it to Wan Zhen'er now?" ”

Queen Wang's eyes showed a blazing look, and she said: "The reason why this palace wants to give that jade Ruyi to Wan Guifei is because this palace understands a truth. ”

"Yo, let's hear it!"

Mu Xue held her cheeks on the side and asked cautiously.

Queen Wang smiled slightly and said: "In the past, this palace only thought that as long as you have no quarrel with the world in this harem, others will not come to you for trouble, so whether it is pearls or antiques, this palace likes it very much, but now this palace understands that in fact this is not the case, in the harem, you have thousands of pearls, tens of thousands of antiques, so what?" What if you have a lot of money? What can you do if you don't have a fight with the world? Whoever has power in this harem can do whatever he wants, and this palace has only now understood this truth, but it is not too late for this palace to understand this truth until now. ”

After finishing speaking, she said to Mu Xue: "Mu Xue, you go and fetch the almond cake of Qianfuju to the palace." ”

"Yes."

Mu Xue agreed to take the almond cakes of Qianfuju, and after taking them, Queen Wang specially ordered Mu Xue to secretly find a bag of Heding Hong.

The crane top red is a forbidden drug in the palace, so Mu Xue found a lot of relationships before she found the crane top red, and after finding it, Queen Wang asked Mu Xue to quietly wrap the crane top red into the macaroon.

Mu Xue's face suddenly turned pale, and she asked repeatedly, "Why did you want to do this, Queen Mother?" Could it be that you want to deal with Tang Shufei? But Concubine Tang may not be able to eat the macaroons we sent! ”

Queen Wang hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, this almond cake is for Concubine Shun to eat, you have found that Concubine Shun's favorite thing to eat is marzipan cake." ”

"Ahh

Mu Xue was shocked, and hurriedly waved her hand and said: "Niangniang, don't do it, if we take this almond cake to Concubine Shun to eat, if Concubine Shun dies here, the Queen Mother will blame it, then the Queen Mother will definitely not be able to eat it and walk around!" ”

Queen Wang was not nervous at all, she hurriedly laughed, and she said to Mu Xue: "Mu Xue, you are so naïve, do you think that things will develop the way you imagined?" Let this palace tell you, things will never evolve as you say, if Concubine Shun dies with us, then, who do you think is the most suspicious and who has the most enmity with Concubine Shun? ”
