Chapter 60: Reckoning

Wang Zhi snorted coldly and said: "Concubine Rou is shrewd, but she has a stupid son, the twelve princes are arrogant and domineering, willful and reckless, far easier to control than Beiliuyun, and at that time, Chu Luoyi has been by Concubine Rou's side for a long time, and she must be deeply trusted, as long as she takes the opportunity to get rid of Concubine Rou, please the emperor, and use the emperor to get rid of Concubine Rou's mother's family, in the end, isn't the world in the hands of our family?" ”

A flash of brilliance flashed in the henchman's eyes: "The factory is wise." ”

Chu Luoyi walked on the way back, and it didn't take long for him to see Beiliuyun who seemed to be waiting there.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

"Waiting for you."

"Let's go back together."

Bei Liuyun looked at her silently for a long time, and finally didn't dare to ask, why Wang Zhi was looking for her, he was afraid of getting a lie or a more cruel truth from her mouth, so he simply didn't ask.

Back in Liuyun Palace, Beiliuyun helped her hand reapply the wound medicine again, bandaged it carefully, and never spoke.

Five days later, Chu Luoyi's hand was no longer in trouble, and she proposed to go back to the imperial dining room.

Because the deputy head of the imperial dining room was repaired by Beiliuyun, he no longer dared to deal with her blatantly, no matter what, the stumbling block in the secret has never been less, and after all, he hated her psychologically.

Half a month later, Chu Luoyi sat in a no-man's land in the forest, carefully looking at the information about Zhao Meiren sent by Xiao Liuzi.

"I didn't expect someone as domineering as her to be proficient in embroidery." Chu Luoyi said lightly.

Xiao Liuzi stood aside and said: "Yes, the slave was also shocked at the time, so he carefully investigated a few times, and then learned that her mother was a famous embroiderer in the Suhuai area, and was included in the house by his father, and therefore, this Zhao beauty is proficient in Suzhou embroidery, Shu embroidery, and even double-sided embroidery." ”

Chu Luoyi nodded, continued to flip down, and asked rhetorically, "She collided with Concubine Rou a few days ago?" ”

"In fact, if she collided with Concubine Rou, she had to start with Concubine Rou being grounded, Concubine Rou was banned, she thought that Concubine Rou was going to lose power, just when she was deeply favored by the emperor, her attitude was very arrogant, a few days ago she met Concubine Rou again, the situation was completely reversed, but she slapped her swollen face and became fat, and she always refused to accept softness." Xiao Liuzi explained in detail.

"Concubine Rou still hasn't moved her?"

"Yes, this concubine is really generous."

A flash of brilliance flashed in Chu Luoyi's eyes, now is a good time, Concubine Rou injured the eighth prince Beiliuxue at the birthday banquet, and is facing the queen's crazy revenge at this moment, in order to prevent her from being attacked on her belly and back, she will inevitably solve these shrimp soldiers and crab generals with a quick knife.

After returning to the imperial dining room, Chu Luoyi asked someone to send a letter to Wang Zhi, asking him to send someone to keep an eye on Zhao Meiren's movements and inform her as soon as there was news.

Three days later, a little eunuch hurriedly said something in her ear, Chu Luoyi put down the bowl in her hand and left the imperial dining room, a trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of the fish washing the dishes on the side, and the palace maid on the side was dissatisfied: "Why do you think she is mysterious and secretive all day, maybe there is something unseemly." ”

Chu Luoyi was hiding on a path next to the imperial garden, and happened to see Wang Zhaoyi facing Zhao Meidao: "I know that my sister has offended Concubine Rou Niangniang, but Niangniang doesn't care about her previous suspicions, and this time she asked her sister to help, just to turn her hostility into a jade silk." ”

Zhao Meiren said stiffly: "Who is rare about her..."

"It's not my sister who said you, in this harem, identity and status are everything, you are a little beauty, even Concubine Rou dares to offend, don't you really think that your life is long? Don't think that Concubine Rou is generous and generous, you can not take her in your eyes, a woman who can stand tall in this palace, how many lives does she have on her hands? ”

Wang Zhaoyi said bitterly, Zhao Meiren was speechless for a while, in fact, she regretted it since she did it with Concubine Rou last time, and now the emperor seems to have forgotten her, and the life in this palace is becoming more and more difficult.

"Thank you sister for your teachings, my sister knows, this time Concubine Rou asked for the embroidery, I will definitely prepare carefully, and I will not let her down." Zhao Meiren said seriously.

Wang Zhaoyi nodded: "This is the best, the queen has been embarrassing the mother recently, and asked the mother to embroider a pair of embroidery for her as a congratulatory gift, so you don't have to be too cumbersome when embroidering, as long as it is delicate and delicate, people can't find fault." ”

"That.. What kind of tricks should my sister choose to give to the queen? Zhao Meiren frowned and asked.

Wang Zhaoyi said: "The queen has always liked peonies, especially the last time the peony brought this heir to the mother, so you should embroider a picture of a hundred peonies." ”

Zhao Meiren nodded and said, "Then I'll embroider a peony picture." ”

"Don't mention this matter to others, and don't let the maid next to you see it when embroidering, otherwise it will spread and it will be bad for the mother." Wang Zhaoyi instructed.

"Sister, don't worry, I bumped into Niangniang several times, but Niangniang never blamed, and doing my best for Niangniang is also my heart."

Wang Zhaoyi took out a box and handed it to Zhao Meidao: "This is the peony golden hairpin that Niangniang rewarded you." ”

After Zhao Meiren opened it, her eyes lit up, a small peony golden hairpin was placed in it, the whole hairpin, fine workmanship, the whole peony was surrounded by petals strung with white pearls, and a golden peony was embellished among them, which attracted people's attention at once.

Wang Zhaoyi closed the box and handed it to Zhao Meidao: "The reason why peony is used is because the harem has a strict hierarchy, especially since the queen loves peonies, the headdress of concubines below the second grade can no longer use peonies, so a very similar peony flower is chosen." ”

Zhao Meiren held the golden hairpin in her hand tightly, and rejoiced in her heart: "Sister turned around and thanked Niangniang for me." ”

"Don't worry, if you do a good job of embroidery, Niangniang will turn around and say a few good words for you in front of the emperor, and you will be promoted to be a Zhaoyi, and then we will be on an equal footing." Wang Zhaoyi patted Zhao Meiren's hand.

Zhao Meiren was overjoyed for a while, and Wang Zhaoyi saw that the matter had been done, so she retired first.

Chu Luoyi looked at the complacent Zhao Meiren and walked out from behind the bushes: "Niangniang, this peony golden hairpin is really dazzling. ”

Zhao Meiren was taken aback, turned her head and glared at Chu Luoyi angrily and said, "Where did you come from,, what a big bold!" ”

"If the slave is not bold, the mother is afraid that she will die in Huangquan." Chu Luoyi opened his mouth faintly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How dare you curse me, and see that I don't tear your mouth apart! Zhao Meiren raised her eyebrows, with displeasure in her eyes.

Chu Luoyi didn't panic, but said: "Before you get angry, you might as well take a closer look, is the golden hairpin in your hand a peony or a peony?" ”

Zhao Meiren said impatiently: "Didn't Wang Zhaoyi say it just now, it's peony, there are many taboos of peonies in this palace, I don't think you will understand a cheap maid." ”

Chu Luoyi smiled lightly, no wonder that this Zhao beauty has been favored several times, and in the end she is still a beauty, and her thoughts are easily swayed, at this time, the first thing she should do is to find out how much she heard the conversation between the two.

But even so, Zhao Meiren still opened it and took a closer look, and after looking at it for a while, she didn't see any reason for it.

Chu Luoyi mentioned on the side: "Since ancient times, the peony has been the king of flowers, on each branch, there is a single flower, and there are delicate cuts at the petals, but each petal must be a separate piece, peony and peony are very similar, but they are only respected as the phase of the flower, on each branch, several flowers can be opened, several petals are not completely independent, but there is adhesion, three or five pieces into a large piece, Niangniang may wish to take a closer look at the golden hairpin in her hand, is it a peony or a peony? ”

Zhao Meiren looked down and suddenly widened her eyes: "This... This Wang Zhaoyi is obviously talking about peony... Can.. But how did this become a peony? ”

Chu Luoyi didn't speak, but Zhao Meiren suddenly seemed to remember something, and looked at her coldly: "Didn't you lie to me?" ”

Chu Luoyi couldn't help but scold a fool in his heart, but he still said tepidly: "The slave maid deceived the mother and didn't get any benefits, if the mother didn't believe it, she could send someone to investigate carefully, but as for whether it would startle the snake, the slave and the maid couldn't do anything." ”

"Surprise the snake? You mean... Someone is trying to harm me? ”

"If it weren't for someone who wanted Niangniang's life, why would Wang Zhaoyi say that this peony was a peony, if Niangniang really took this hairpin out, I was afraid that it would cause trouble."

Zhao Meiren said angrily: "Who is trying to harm me, I will not let her go!" Wang Zhaoyi is not a good thing, I thought she was sincere to me. ”

"In this harem, how many people are sincere? Concubine Rou has been in a high position for a long time, and the city government is naturally not low, so it is better for Niangniang to be careful. Chu Luoyi persuaded.

"You mean Concubine Rou wants to harm me?"

"Niangniang is too worried, the slave just hopes that Niangniang can be careful."

"Who are you? Why help me? Zhao Meiren said vigilantly.

Chu Luoyi said lightly: "The slave maid is just a rough palace maid in the imperial dining room, and she has been suppressed by the deputy chief of the eunuch, and now she is just like Niangniang to show her sincerity, and the slave and maid believe that Niangniang will one day be able to rush to the sixth palace, and the slave and maid will also spare no effort to help Niangniang." ”

Zhao Meiren's expression was dyed with a touch of pride, she has always been extremely satisfied with her appearance, but she was unlucky, she thought that she could sit firmly on the throne of the concubine, she never wanted to enter the palace for so long, but she has always been just a beauty.

"Even if you are a discerning person, one day, I will let these sluts like Concubine Rou kneel in front of me and beg for mercy!" Zhao Meiren said angrily.

Chu Luoyi lowered her eyes and was silent, Zhao Meiren came back to her senses and said: "I'm going to go to Wang Zhaoyi's theory and ask her what kind of heart she has, and she dares to give me a peony hairpin?" ”

"Niangniang went to Wang Zhaoyi at this moment, and Wang Zhaoyi would only say that she accidentally confused the two golden hairpins, and Niangniang also couldn't get any benefits."

"So what should I do? What can you do? Zhao Meiren was a little anxious.

Chu Luoyi lowered her voice and whispered something in Zhao Meiren's ear, Zhao Meiren's eyes flashed with light, and she nodded and said, "Just do as you say." ”
