Fu Zifei saw Mingzhu, her face was panicked, she lowered her head and saluted the Empress Dowager Min first, and then saluted Mingzhu, and said in a low voice: "Auntie." Even her voice trembled, as if Mingzhu was a tiger that could eat people, and she was the poor little white rabbit.

Empress Dowager Min was very happy to see it, and said deliberately: "Zifei, you have to learn more from your aunt, she used to be a delicate one at home, but now she can be on her own, she can do anything, you must study hard with her!" ”

Fu Zifei lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes: "Yes, the Queen Mother." ”

Min Baoyun snorted from his nostrils and said disdainfully: "A nest of snakes and rats." ”

Empress Dowager Min wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief with a smile, and let Fu Zifei go over with a pleasant face, holding Fu Zifei's hand with one hand and Min Baoyun's hand with the other, and said to Mingzhu: "The two of them should also have a long experience, and I will hand it over to you together." Who made you their cousin and aunt again? ”

Mingzhu's face twitched, the future princess of the main palace was sitting there, but Empress Dowager Min wanted to arrange for these two future concubines to have a long experience? This mother-in-law is really thoughtful, before her daughter-in-law enters the door, she has already fought first, admire, admire! Since people don't care about themselves, of course she doesn't care either, so she immediately smiled and said gently: "That is, since the Queen Mother has ordered, I naturally have to obey Yi's will." By the way, I glanced at the county lord of Anle, and saw that the county lord of Anle lowered his eyes, but the hand on his knee was clenched tightly.

After Empress Dowager Min pushed out all the people who needed to appear in this big drama one by one, she found an excuse to avoid it, and only asked the female officials around her to open a warm pavilion for Mingzhu and others, and said: "The banquet will start soon, from today onwards, you will enter the palace every day." I will let you burn the earth dragon in the warm pavilion to warm you, and then let the small kitchen cook food for you, you will not be hungry, nor can you be cold. ”

Entering the palace every day? Eat and drink? Mingzhu always felt very strange when he thought about it, if Yu Wenchu was doing something outside, would they be equivalent to being isolated from house arrest in this palace? In the blink of an eye, I became a hostage! Resolutely not to comply. Mingzhu immediately objected: "Thank you for the Queen Mother's love, but we also have a lot of things to do in the house, the child is small, my mother also has to be taken care of, stay in the palace all day long, I am afraid of pleasing the mother." ”

Empress Dowager Min raised her long eyebrows unhappily, and said with a smile: "I forgot, there are side concubines or something in other palaces, but you don't have them here." So as soon as you leave, no one will take care of the affairs in the house, it's not that I said you, Mingzhu, you are too guarded. What is the history of Zhou women and the history of ordinary women, mention one to be a side concubine, don't you have someone to help take care of the affairs of the government when you go out, take care of the children and the king? "If you want to talk about side concubines, there is no one in the Wusun County Lord's Mansion, and she has to selectively forget, just to deliberately disgust Mingzhu.

If you are busy, don't blame me for not giving you face. Anyway, Yu Wenchu has beaten the little emperor, and she has also beaten Min Baoyun, so she doesn't have to pretend to work so hard. Mingzhu jokingly said: "Niangniang, this is taking the school examination for me, but I haven't heard that the side concubines and concubines in anyone's house can take care of the affairs of the house and take care of the sister-in-law and the male master. ”

The county lord of Anle let out a sigh of relief, Min Baoyun's nose was crooked, isn't this her? Where is she a concubine? Where is she a concubine? One of the four concubines, can it be compared with the concubines outside? Thinking of this, I can't help but hate Mingzhu even more, if it weren't for Fu's troublemaker, would she have lost the throne of this queen?

"Okay, well, no one talks as much as you, since you don't want to enter the palace on time with them, then do as you like. In short, don't get down to business. Empress Dowager Min curled the corners of her lips and smiled coldly, her eyes were at the same touch as the county lord of Wusun.

Mingzhu held the tea and looked at the group of women in the warm pavilion with a smile, it was really enough, a winter solstice banquet made such a large number of people with their own thoughts. It's strange that this winter solstice banquet can be held smoothly, or perhaps, Empress Dowager Min doesn't want to make this winter solstice banquet smooth at all?

Thinking of this, Mingzhu couldn't help but clench the cup, she always felt that there was a gaze behind her, staring at her all the time, this feeling made her feel like a man, very uncomfortable. She quickly stood up and looked out of the window behind her, but saw nothing but a bare branch and a few sparrows, and nothing else.

Min Baoyun walked over and smiled very maliciously: "What is the British princess looking at?" ”

Mingzhu said lightly: "I didn't see anything, it's just breathable." ”

Min Baoyun glanced at her and said in a low voice: "You wait, one day, I will get back the shame you put on me." ”

Mingzhu smiled: "I'll wait for you." ”

The princess raised her voice and said, "Come and sit down, let's divide the work." ”

Concubine Xiao said lightly: "What's the point, this kind of thing, if you do it well, you will say it well, and if you don't do it well, you will be responsible." Everyone wants to do light work, and they don't want to do hard work, so let's draw lots. ”

The princess objected: "Although what the concubine said is reasonable, but several people here have nothing to do, if they draw a big event, what will they do?" ”

Concubine Xiao said: "Acting princess, you didn't understand what I meant. I mean, you can divide the work into two parts, one for heavy work and one for light work. A few of you who are aunts will do heavy work, and a few of them will do light work. As for me, I'll be on the side to assist you, and if anyone in the palace is disobedient and doesn't understand the rules, just come to me for coordination. ”

The county lord of Wusun, the step-concubine of King Fu, and Min Baoyun and others all agreed with Concubine Xiao's opinion, and the princess did not have a problem with more, and asked Mingzhu in a low voice: "Sixth brother and sister, what do you see?" ”

"Okay, just listen to the concubine." Mingzhu smiled slightly, saying that it was just for her, she wanted to see what kind of work they wanted to send her.

The paper balls are placed in small gold baskets and shaken, and then lots are cast in the order of the elders and the young. first is the step-concubine of King Fu, who is responsible for guiding the female relatives of the clan to bow and enter the banquet; Then there was the acting princess, who was responsible for taking care of the old and young ladies of the clan, and arranging for them to rest halfway; It's the pearl's turn, but it's the work of being in charge of dishes and eating.

It's really the most error-prone and trouble-prone job. Mingzhu unfolded the note and smiled, Princess Huayang leaned over to take a look, and didn't bother with the remaining note, and said nonchalantly: "Who wrote this note?" According to me, the work of taking care of and guiding the ladies of the clan can be done by one person, and the bulk of the food is here, how can it all be done for one person? Can you get busy? For the rest, no matter what work I do, I'll accompany my sixth sister-in-law. ”
