Chapter 58
Huanyi Bureau is really closer to the queen's house than from the palace, Huanyi Bureau is located outside the west gate of Desheng Gate, but heavy guards guard, every day in addition to the carriage that goes in and out of the clothes, the people inside can't get out, day after day washing clothes, until the fingers are rotten and good, no longer Qianqian, coarse benzene like Luo, green silk turns gray hair, Fanghua is not there. [No pop-ups. If you don't have a moment of anger that you have found a way to die, you may have to be trapped in this place and die of old age, sickness and death, and one in ten thousand is fortunate to be amnesty from Your Majesty, and you can get out of the cage of this life under the amnesty list.
Fang Ruo several palace maids and three show girls were relegated to the Huanyi Bureau together, the palace maid drop is not as big as the show girl, finally can pass, the show girl drop is too big, the first day to cry and cry, the old lady of the Huanyi Bureau, the most experienced in treating such people, smoke two boards, close the small black room, and then starve a few times, and then come out to wash the heaviest and dirtiest clothes, the Huanyi Bureau is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, the most noble of course wash the clothes of the emperor and the queen mother, people should be careful and meticulous, work to be clean, the most humble is to wash the clothes of the eunuch, the smell is unpleasant, not to mention, thick and heavy, Cloth cutters.
Zhou Yuting didn't give up when she arrived at the Huanyi Bureau, of course she didn't want to wash clothes, she grew up in fine clothes and jade food, how could she have done such rough work. Fortunately, although she was reluctant when she made the order, it did not prevent her from inserting a few valuable and inconspicuous hairpins on her head, wearing a few more rings and bracelets on her hands, and hiding silver horns in the soles of her shoes.
As soon as I entered the Huanyi Bureau, I didn't wait for Mama to say, first offer the hairpin on my head, and Mama would naturally not embarrass her when she saw her interest, and wait until she was assigned to which room, and then use the ring on her hand to build a good relationship with the left and right, and the life can be passed. Her current idea is to wait for a few months, the limelight has passed, and then she will manage her relationship to blend into the palace to send the laundry team, as long as she enters the palace, she will have a chance.
Fang Ruo helped unload the dirty clothes she picked up from the palace, while gossiping with people, "Really? This beauty is also too unlucky. Fang Ruo exaggeratedly said that she knew what kind of performance could make people have a tendency to gossip.
"It's bad luck, and it's also offended people who shouldn't be offended." The grandmother who went in to pick up the clothes really said with her eyebrows fluttering, "She wants to go to the queen, but now the queen has not entered the palace, Concubine Guo is in the palace, and His Majesty can stay with Concubine Guo for ten days a month, and the holy favor is that every new concubine can catch up." Can Concubine Guo's eyebrows be easily touched? I think if our queen mother can get some bargains from Concubine Guo when she enters the palace, it's another story. â
Fang Ruo felt that this was Concubine Guo's dismount to the queen, although the mother did not enter the palace now, even if she didn't react, others couldn't say anything, but in the end, the queen was slightly inferior, for example, like the grandmother in the lowest-grade Huanyi Bureau, everyone in the palace naturally had considerations, and when the mother entered the palace in the future, the obstacles and suspicions would be multiplied.
Fang Ruo made up her mind, under the pretext of abdominal pain, she asked the guard to go to the hospital to see a doctor, the guard was used to it, and took Fang Ruo's money to the teahouse to order a pot of tea, two stacks of snacks, and then called a singer, and after a leisurely time, she took Fang Ruo back again.
Fang Ruo came out of the hÃ˛u mÊn of the medical hall, asked the direction of Andingfang and ran, and waited until Andingfang could know where Wang Qianhu's house was without asking, Fangruo walked to the side door and buckled the door, "I am from the palace, I have something urgent to see Niangniang, please pass it on." I'm Fang Ruo, you will know it as soon as you talk to the happy peach girl next to Niangniang. â
The gatekeeper heard that she could say the name of the palace maid that Niangniang brought back from the palace, so he said. "The girl will come in first and wait at the second gate, and I will go to pass the word."
Wang Ronghe heard that Fangruo was coming, although he was surprised, he still let her in, and then let Furong take the other palace maids out, and there was no one in her room.
Fleur kept a thought, looked secretly behind the porch, and watched Xitao lead Fangruo in, but she didn't go in, just waited at the door. Fleur did not stay long, hurried back to the room, she came to the queen's mother's palace maid, there was a peach in front of her, although she was trusted by the mother, but people were stupid and upright, and they were afraid. Niangniang's two girls at home, Niangniang originally said that she would not take them into the palace, but then she seemed to have changed her mind, although the two girls were clever, but they didn't know anything about the palace, and they had to rely on her.
Furong originally thought that she had sat down in the position of the palace maid, but today I looked, if the mother has another henchman but does not serve closely, I am afraid that when the foreign affairs are done, the henchman will inevitably come back to avoid the status of the palace maid, it seems that she wants to inquire about who this Fang Ruo is?
Fang Ruo knelt down, "The slave has seen the queen's mother." â
"Get up and speak." Wang Ronghe said, "Can the Huanyi Bureau still go out?" â
"The Huanyi Bureau can't go in and out at will, the slave and maid heard about the big event in the palace, and wanted to report to the mother, so they borrowed the illness. Mother, the slave doesn't have much time, so it's a long story short. â
Fang Ruo concisely said Yin Meiren's matter, and then bowed her head and waited for Wang Ronghe's instructions.
"I finally turned over the sign but was deposed for incontinence and taboo when I was sleeping, and my luck was a little worse, but I don't know if it's a natural disaster or **." Wang Rong and Youyou said, "By the way, the palace of His Majesty's new concubine that I asked you to ask last time, can you inquire clearly?" â
"Concubine Yang lives in Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Liu lives in Yonghe Palace, Luo Meiren and Yin Meiren are attached to the two palaces respectively, and the rest of the beauties and Cui Cairen are in Yikun Palace, and some are scattered in the palaces, among which there is no main position." Fang Ruo said.
"It seems that the faction in the palace has been established." Wang Ronghe sighed, "Where there are many women, there is always fighting, and this is what I am most tired of." Isn't it good to take care of themselves, why do you have to reach out to someone else's palace? Jingru and Liu Jing are all honest people, they don't want to mess with Concubine Guo, Concubine Guo has to come to provoke them. Is this a person who has been favored by His Majesty, and can walk sideways in the harem? â
Fang Ruoyu said, "Concubine Guo now serves Your Majesty for ten days a month, and the rest of the beauties who are attached to her serve Your Majesty, and the rest of the people are really overwhelmed." â
"Concubine Liu is still not loved by His Majesty?" Wang Ronghe asked.
"Still not very favored." Fang Ruo said, "Niangniang seems to be quite leisurely and not in a hurry." â
"Zhou Yuting was also relegated to the Huanyi Bureau, how is it lately?" Wang Ronghe asked.
Fang Ruo saw that Niangniang was just asking some questions that could not be done, and had no tendency to deal with this matter, so she honestly replied that Zhou Yuting did not give up, but just waited for the opportunity to make a comeback and said that the slave and maid had not enough time and it was time to go.
"You wait." Wang Ronghe said that she wrote a letter, "You passed this letter to Concubine Yang for me." She took off a jade bracelet from her hand, "You give this to Zhou Yuting and give her the capital to make a comeback." â
She called Xi Tao to come in, and asked Xi Tao to give a big purse to Fang Ruo, "You do things for me, there is no reason for you to pay for silver taels, you take this purse, the money in it should be enough, not enough, I will give it to you next time." â
"Xie Niangniang." Fang Ruo saluted and said. When he went out, Xi Tao caught up again, "You also take these snacks, you come and go in a hurry, the mother is not good to keep you to eat, there is nothing delicious in the Huanyi Bureau, and these grease for wiping hands, this is a good thing sent by Imperial Doctor Xu." â
"It's not worth it for me to use such a good thing." Fang Ruo refused to accept it.
"Take it, it's already in an ordinary porcelain bottle, if you don't say it, others won't know whether it's a precious ointment or an ordinary ointment. Washing clothes also hurts your hands, this is the mother's understanding of you. Xi Tao said.
"Then thank you, mother." Fang Ruo said.
"You just said that you were looking for me in the future, don't talk about looking for my mother." Xi Tao instructed.
"I know, today I was worried that the doorman wouldn't let me in, so I said that I was looking for the mother, and if you tell the doorman in the future, I will know what to say." Fang Ruo said.
Yin Meiren committed suicide on the first night of returning to Chuxiu Palace, but fortunately, her aunt was prepared, found out early, rescued her, and did not die, but she was also injured, and her aunt did not go to the doctor until dawn the next day, and the doctor did not come to say otherwise, anyway, as long as it is not self-killing, it doesn't matter if she dies of illness.
When Yang Jingru heard this, she asked Izumo to find the imperial doctor, and she must save Yin Meiren, and came back after Izumo went, "I was lucky today, I bumped into Imperial Doctor Xu, he pointed out his disciple to treat Yin Meiren, Imperial Doctor Xu is just to prevent his disciple from falling into his prestige, and he will definitely cure Yin Meiren." â
"Imperial Doctor Xu? It's time for my sister to know. Yang Jingru said.
Gui Yan came in, "Niangniang, there is a letter in the clothes sent today." â
"Show me it." Yang Jingru said, when she opened the envelope and looked at it, it was really Wang Ronghe's letter, this Concubine Guo moved Liu Concubine's person, Liu Concubine was not favored, is the person who attached to her for her concubine, no, Liu Jing is close to Wang Ronghe, everyone in this Chuxiu Palace knows that Concubine Guo's move is a slap on Wang Ronghe's face.
Wang Ronghe is not the master of repaying grievances with virtue, repaying virtue with virtue, and repaying grievances with straightforwardness. If you come to the temptation, I will slap you in the face and let you know that some things should not cross the line, and some people should not move. She didn't bother to design the little concubine who was attached to Concubine Guo, since it was your Concubine Guo who caused trouble, I came to you Concubine Guo.
Yang Jingru read the letter, "Go and invite Concubine Liu to come." â
Wang Ronghe's plan is very simple, she already knows that Wang Zhixi's incident is behind Concubine Guo, so can Concubine Guo only install one person who designed Wang Zhixi? is among the palace maids who went to the Huanyi Bureau with Fang Ruo, there are Concubine Guo's chess pieces. Zhou Yuting's audacity is rare, but what if her behavior is instigated behind her back?
How much His Majesty loves Concubine Guo, how disgusted the Queen Mother is for Concubine Guo, the last time the Queen Mother suppressed the fact that she didn't look for Concubine Guo, and obeyed His Majesty's promise, but if there is a chance, the Queen Mother will be punished for several crimes and will not be spared.
Zhou Yuting took Fang Ruo's bracelet inexplicably, but it was said that the queen mother funded her to make a comeback, her heart beat wildly, no matter what Wang Ronghe meant, this is her several times. Zhou Yuting was originally more courageous than ordinary women, so she asked, "What does Niang Niang want me to do?" â
"Niangniang didn't want you to do it, you will know what to do when the time comes." Fang Ruo said.
Wang Rong asked Liu Jing to light the fuse as stated in the letter, Yang Jingru looked at her calmly and said, "Otherwise, I'll go, Your Majesty is angry, and I can still bear it." â
"Why are you going?" Liu Jing said, "I know what my sister means, the first one is that I am not favored anyway, and there is nothing to lose, you are different, we can still meet with Your Majesty a few more times now, if you offend Your Majesty and fall out of favor, others will not even have a place to speak." â
"Second, in this palace, we all know that I am nosy and nosy, so that I can hear the cry of the palace maid and ask about grievances before I can angrily go to the queen mother's palace to seek justice for her, you have always been cold, if you are in this nosy, others will feel strange and don't believe it."
"I'll go tomorrow." Liu Jing tore the letter into strips and put it into the incense burner, and in the curling smoke, her face was full of determination.
