"What about the other two?" Fang Shanggong asked. Bayi Chinese <.

"One is missing, and the other has nothing useful coming out of his mouth."

Fang Shanggong put down the teacup and sat there without saying a word for a long time.

These masters in the palace, big and small, are also powerful. But no matter how powerful they are, they can only live in the deep palace after all, large and small, inside and out, and nothing can be done by themselves, they all have to rely on the people around them.

If you want to do something like the hand stove during the previous Chinese New Year, and the recent poisoned wine thing, you have to rely on the people under your hands to do it. Spread the word, connect, co-opt, pass the things outside the palace to the palace, and then check the arrangements of the dining room and wine store, poison it, and then plant it for Chen Jieyu, I don't know how many checkpoints I have to go through in the middle. The insiders of these things are definitely not one or two, even if they can't get real evidence, they can't dig things out of their mouths, but the emperor's reduction of the manpower in the palace is really a clever move, and the bottom of the kettle is far better than raising soup to stop boiling.

"To be honest, no matter how ruthless and strong a person is, he can't be strong." Zhou Yuchen This is a feeling.

The previous matter of the hand stove and the matter of the poisonous wine this time were all carefully planned traps. But even if these things are all carefully arranged, none of the people under his hands have gone wrong and rebelled, and they can't compete with the good luck of the concubine. The matter of the hand stove between the concubine and the second prince was finally safe and sound, but the poisoned wine incident was mistakenly hit by the deputy car and was topped by Chen Jieyu.

"Concubine Shen has been living in a simple house recently, rarely going out and walking, and going to the East Sixth Palace alone......"

Zhou Yuchen also felt that this was unusual.

"I'm not familiar with the East Sixth Palace." Zhou Yuchen honestly admitted. When the concubines of the first emperor and the group of people under them were in the limelight, Zhou Yuchen had not yet mixed up. But Fang Shang Palace is different, Fang Shang Palace has been in the palace for a longer time, and she has served the concubine before, and she knows most of the people in the East Sixth Palace.

Fang Shanggong only nodded and said, "I know." ”

Zhou Yuchen didn't say anything more. Fang Shanggong is skillful and meticulous, so he doesn't need to remind him more.

Since the beginning of the summer, it has been rainy for more than a month, and it is damp and wet everywhere, and the green lotus has a handkerchief, and forgot to wash it after using it, and one day when it was turned out to see, it was actually going to grow hair.

She thought about it again and again, but she didn't remember what this handkerchief had rubbed and how it could grow hair. But then again, in previous years, there was no such long rainy weather, and things would not be so bad against damp mold.

Xie Ning always felt that he was going to have stuffy hair on his body for a while. Because of the rain, she couldn't go anywhere, so she could only walk back and forth in the Yong'an Palace, and most of the time she could only walk back and forth in the corridor.

The emperor is not easy for a while.

In the winter, the people of the Taishi Bureau deduced from various signs that there would be a lot of rain this summer, and floods were very easy to cause, so there was a special trip of the emperor last time.

Xie Ning hoped that the people of the Taishi Bureau would miss once, but this time the calculation was not accurate.

Unfortunately, her expectations were disappointed.

Some places in the capital were flooded, and the south was even more urgent reports flying one by one, and the emperor didn't sleep well for a day, and he had been staying in Changning Hall since the day before yesterday and didn't come to the harem.

Xie Ning beat someone to deliver the soup twice, afraid that the emperor would get hot if he boiled up like this, and he was also afraid that he would not be able to eat when he was busy, and he would burn his body.

After the soup was delivered, the emperor specially called Bai Hongqi and said that Xie Ning should not worry, take good care of his body, and let the emperor rest assured.

The reactions of those in the harem who got the news were mixed. Concubine Shen closed the door and recited the scriptures and copied the scriptures, which is said to be to pray for peace and tranquility in the world. also said that she hadn't touched meat for several days, as if she had to prick blood and copy the blood meridians.

The people who listened to these messages were stunned.

As for Concubine Jin, this time is not restless. She came to Yong'an Palace twice in three days, and the meaning of her words was to share Xie Ning's worries.

The concubine is pregnant, so naturally she can't work, and the power of palace affairs is almost in the hands of the two minions of Yong'an Palace. One is Zhou Yuchen, and the other is naturally Fang Shanggong. After all, Fang Shanggong is a female streamer, and she is more in charge of the internal affairs of Yong'an Palace and some concubines and concubines.

Zhou Yuchen is different.

He used to be majestic on the one-third of an acre of land in the back garden, but now the tide is rising, and most of the people in the harem are rushing to him to be courteous and curry favor. Who doesn't know that Gonggong Zhou is now in power? As long as his old man lifted his little finger, and a little bit of benefit leaked out of his fingers, it was enough for those people below to break their heads for this.

This made Concubine Jin particularly unconvinced.

It's just not as good as the concubine, someone gave birth to a son! Now it is time to add another heir to the emperor, whether it is a man or a woman, the status of the concubine is already stable and unshakable.

But the minions of Yong'an Palace trembled, and even her Shoukang Palace wanted to add and repair one or two, and she wanted to invite a Taoist priest to Princess Yujun to pray for blessings, so she had to beat someone to go to them to ask for permission.

"Concubine, did you say?" After Concubine Jin talked a lot, she asked Xie Ning again.

Xie Ning was distracted at all, Concubine Jin's words were both many and trivial, mixed with complaints and complaints, which really made people can't help but desert when they listen to it.

"This matter has been done in the palace before." Concubine Jin took the past as an example: "In the past, when the Queen Mother was there, it was all arranged by the Queen Mother. The queen mother also once led people to kneel and pray for blessings, and when the concubine was in charge of palace affairs, there was a catastrophe outside, and the palace would cut the cost, and each palace would produce a molecule, and make up the whole number to add lamp oil to the Temple of Mercy and Grace and other places to pray for blessings......"

Speaking of which, Concubine Jin understood what Xie Ning meant.

She cited all kinds of precedents and went around in such a big circle, but she just wanted to take the lead and handle it according to the previous examples.

Xie Ning intuitively felt that the emperor didn't like this kind of thing.

Besides, Concubine Jin doesn't have that skill and ability, she even manages those individuals in her Shoukang Palace in a mess, scolding this and that from time to time, let her do such a thing, she has to toss all the palaces up and down, and in the end, this matter is likely to be messed up.

Fang Shanggong saw that Xie Ning was tired of it, and said with a smile: "What Concubine Niangniang said is also true. It's just that such a major event has to ask the emperor for instructions, and what the people in the harem say doesn't count. ”

Concubine Jin's face sank, and her expression became very ugly.

Even if she wasn't clever enough, she could still hear the prevarication in Fang Shanggong's words. What do you mean by saying it doesn't count? Who doesn't know how useful the concubine is to speak in front of the emperor? As long as the concubine opens her mouth with the emperor, the emperor will approve this matter.

Fang Shanggong was just refusing to prevaricate her.

If she was rejected by the concubine, Concubine Jin would probably be able to swallow this breath. But now it was not the concubine who opened her mouth, but the dog slave of Fang Shanggong.

How can she say that she is also a concubine, a slave and maid of Fang Shanggong, why should she show off her power in front of her?

Concubine Jin snorted coldly, and was about to speak, when Xia Yue came to pay attention to the matter: "Go back to Niangniang, Guo Shanggong is here, and I have something to report to Niangniang." ”

Shainin asked, "Came back so quickly?" Let her in. ”

Taking advantage of this reason, Xie Ning hurriedly asked Concubine Jin to go back.

She also saw that Concubine Jin had no patience and wanted to make the other party Shang Gongzuo, this person really didn't know what to say.

Let's send this villain away.

Guo Shanggong came back from Yunguang Tower. The courtyard on the east side of Yunguang Building has been renovated, the courtyard is elegant and exquisite, the palace pavilion is sparse and spacious, Princess Yuyao also went to see it, and she was very satisfied with it.

"There's a swing in the yard." Princess Yuyao's eyes sparkled when she talked about the swing: "It's that Guo Shanggong won't let me go over to play." ”

Guo Shanggong hurriedly explained: "The slave is afraid that the paint has not dried yet, and she is also afraid that the burrs of the falcon nails on the top have not been smoothed." ”

She didn't dare to let the princess go up like this, on the one hand, she was not worried about whether the swing was reliable, and on the other hand, there were not many people with her today, in case the princess wanted to play and slip down from it, she could not afford this responsibility.

Xie Ning also stood on Guo Shanggong's side this time: "The coming day is long, there will be days of play in the future, so there is no need to rush for a while." You've seen it all, right? Do you think there's anything else you need to add? ”

"It's good, I don't need to add anything."

Princess Yuyao went to Yunguang Tower by sitting on a chariot, and there was an umbrella on the chariot, Rao was like this, and her little face was red with heat, and her head and body were covered with sweat. Xie Ning hurriedly asked Guo Shanggong to take her to change clothes. After a while, Princess Yuyao washed her face and changed into a light misty gauze dress and came back, and Xie Ning had already asked someone to bring her sour plum soup.

"Niangniang, we also have to learn music rhythm, right?"

Xie Ning nodded and said, "You have to learn." ”

In addition to studying, you also have to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Those teenagers in the Nanyuan study, in addition to studying, they also have to practice riding and shooting knives and guns.

"Can the king teach us?"

Xie Ning smiled and shook his head: "This shouldn't be taught by him." ”

Princess Yuyao was a little disappointed: "Wang Xian is the one who has real skills, and he must teach it well." "Princess Yuyao has been listening to Wang Moyan playing flute music for almost a whole year, and Wen Yan is relieved, and she feels close to this person in her heart.

"Don't just think about playing, you have to read books seriously." Xie Ning said: "In addition to Miss Gan and your aunt's cousin Shutang to accompany you to study, a few more sisters from the clan will be added to accompany you." Li Zhang is also coming. ”

Princess Yuyao's attention was really diverted: "Is she coming too?" That's even more hilarious. ”

Although the little girls had a temper with each other, Li Zhang had already sincerely apologized, and Princess Yuyao "accidentally" ruined her new clothes and got angry, and the old little grievances had long been ignored.

"What about Sister Yuxuan? Does she come too? ”

Concubine Jin went out just now and Princess Yuyao saw her, but Concubine Jin was not liked, and Princess Yuyao didn't want to meet and talk to her, so she didn't come in until Concubine Jin went out.
