056 The Dispute Between the Two Houses

"Slaves will be careful." Jingzhu said yes, and after serving the master to rest, Concubine Tong remembered something again and asked, "Today, Yiguiren was punished by Concubine Zhao to kneel outside the gate of Yikun Palace, for what?" ”

Jingzhu said: "I heard that it was Concubine Zhao who accused Yi Guiren of extravagance and waste, and Yi Guiren turned his mouth to commit it, so he was punished and knelt outside the door, but he fainted from heat stroke after kneeling for less than half an hour." ”

"The sister of the Niu Hulu family is really powerful, what are you doing to compete with a little nobleman." Concubine Tong smiled proudly, pointed at Jingzhu and said, "The emperor has gone to Yuquan Mountain, the palace is stuffy, let the Ministry of Internal Affairs arrange it tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow the opera troupe will come, and invite all the palaces to sit in Chengqian Palace, and I will invite the Empress Dowager there, and I will invite them if they don't come, otherwise they won't be able to have a good time." ”

Jingzhu was cautious and reminded: "Today, Concubine Zhao is not frugal and angry for the sake of the nobles, you let the drama tomorrow, the cost of a should be not small, I am afraid that Concubine Zhao will ...... there."

"What are you afraid of, it's just that Queen Xiaocheng's death cost a lot of silver, she stammered and said that she wanted to save the cost of the harem, then I won't spend the money in the palace to watch the play the day after tomorrow, you go and tell the Internal Affairs Office, how much silver should be spent, just send someone to get it." Concubine Tong was indignant and muttered disdainfully, "I'm just younger, and I've never been shorter than her in this palace, so I really think I'm afraid of her?" ”

Jingzhu didn't dare to say more, and the next day she personally went to the Internal Affairs Office to make arrangements, because she heard that Concubine Tong spent her own money, and she didn't care about Concubine Zhao's power, so she was courteous and arranged, and Jingzhu sent all the palace maids and eunuchs to invite them everywhere in the palace.

Concubine Tong went to Cining Palace early in the morning to ask for peace, although the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager did not object, but they both said that they were too lazy to move in the hot weather, so they fell into her heart and could play freely for half a day.

Chengqian Palace sent invitations, and the two Zhong Cui Palaces were naturally invited, they didn't think much about the outside world, and they didn't dare to disobey Concubine Tong's kindness, Lan Qi and Bu Chang put the good tea saved in the spring in exquisite jars, and wrapped them in brocade, ready to take them to Chengqian Palace tomorrow.

But they didn't expect that they would go to Chengqian Palace the next day, the stage here was also set up, and the drama was complete, but the tables and chairs were empty, and the two of them sat for a long time, and they didn't see Concubine Tong come out, nor did they see anyone coming, and finally Huanchun inquired about the news, and hurriedly told the two: "The slave didn't hear the news, saying that Concubine Zhao had re-ordered the Internal Affairs Office to do this, and now the palaces are hindering the majesty of the mother, and they don't dare to come, but we are here." ”

Before the words fell, the door of the main hall of Chengqian Palace suddenly opened, and Concubine Tong, who was gorgeously dressed and had a delicate face, came out of it, and looked coldly at the scene in the courtyard, the slender eyebrows that were almost twisted together, and her eyes suddenly fell on Lan Qi and Bu Changzai's bodies, and she couldn't help but sneer, and then walked over leisurely, looked at the two who were saluting, and said: "Let's go with the palace, let's go to Yikun Palace and invite Concubine Zhao to come to the play." ”

Immediately, he shouted at the palace maids and eunuchs: "Don't you have eyes?" The masters of the mother didn't come, and they didn't know how to invite, so they hurriedly went to the palaces and courtyards to invite again, and told them that Concubine Tong Niangniang also went to invite Concubine Zhao. ”

Jingzhu knew that the master had a big temper, so he hurriedly sent everyone away, and called for his shoulder to sit with him, and together with Bu Changzai and Wu Chang, who didn't know why, they took it with him, and the group rushed to Yikun Palace.
