The fourth month after the Mid-Autumn Festival family feast.

On this day, Nu'er had just finished serving tea in Longyang Hall and quit. happened to meet Concubine Xi at the door, waiting for the rumor. Xi Concubine's name is Xiao Yuxiu. A few months ago, he entered the palace draft, first named a nobleman, and was promoted to a concubine at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet a few days ago. It is the cousin of Emperor Rong's concubine. The young lady in the second room of the Xiao family, this family can be regarded as extremely prominent.

However, the slave has never had much intersection with the palace concubine, so when she saw the noble concubine, she only bowed slightly, and said lightly, "Concubine Xi is blessed." ”

It stands to reason that Concubine Xi should return the salute as a greeting, but there was a slight trace of disdain and disgust on her delicate face. She held her hands and made a high-minded appearance, and accepted the slave's salute with peace of mind, "The county lord is exempt." ”

This is the second time that the slave and the concubine have met. She asked herself if she had never offended this concubine, but where did the jealousy and disgust that she couldn't hide in her eyes come from. The slave didn't want to entangle with Concubine Xi either, she straightened up and wanted to leave.

The concubine behind her suddenly grabbed her wrist and took it to herself, and the delicate concubine fell to the ground so hard. The little eunuch on the side saw it and hurriedly picked up the screaming Xi Concubine, "Niangniang, why did you fall!" ”

Before the words fell, Concubine Xi turned around and slapped the little eunuch in the face, and scolded in her mouth, "Are you blind dog slaves?" Didn't you see how the palace fell? ”

The little eunuch covered his flushed face and knelt down, "Slave, slave." ”

Of course, he was closest just now, and he could see it clearly, and it was clearly that Concubine Xi pulled the county lord and fell to the ground by herself. But the posture of the master of Concubine Xi is to ask him to lie to the lord of Mingjia.

He is a new eunuch who has come to Longyang Hall to serve, and he has heard others say that if the master of the harem wants to entrust you with things, he will definitely give many rewards. But he didn't receive anything, so he had to risk offending the emperor's favorite county lord? Even if you give him ten dares, you won't dare!

The brim of his hat covered those rolling eyes. A pair of crescent-white pearl embroidered bow shoes appeared in front of him. A crisp voice sounded over the little eunuch's head.

"Of course he did."

The little eunuch raised his head to meet the slave's smiling eyes, and the slave staggered his gaze and raised his voice, "Concubine Xi Niangniang slipped in the corridor so accidentally, what are you eunuchs doing, why don't you hurry up to the hospital to ask for a doctor." ”

The little eunuch understood and understood that the county lord was relieving him.

Concubine Xi snorted coldly, "It's clear that you pushed the palace." How did it turn out to be this palace accidentally slipped in the hallway. ”

Catching a glimpse of the little eunuch who was about to get up, Concubine Xi scolded, "Stop! ”

The little eunuch's movements froze, and then he knelt down.

"You have knelt here for six hours today. Reflect on the mistakes you have made. Xi Concubine said coldly.

"Concubine Xi has been in the palace for less than half a year, and it seems that this rule is really not good enough. It's no wonder that he has a prominent identity and is recommended by his eldest sister, but he has never slept in bed. Even the noble Ying who entered the palace with Niangniang is now pregnant. Nu'er smiled and looked at Concubine Xi.

Concubine Xi's face turned pale. As soon as she mentioned that she had not slept in the palace for half a year, she was angry. This is the last scar she wants to be revealed. She suppressed her anger, "Does Lord Mingjia know what he's talking about?" ”

"Of course, the lord of this county knows what he is saying." Nu'er slowly approached Xi Concubine and said in Xi Concubine's ear, "This is Longyang Palace." I still advise Niangniang, don't make trouble in Longyang Palace. The sky is unpredictable, and the thunder and rain are just a moment. Especially, you are still a concubine who has never slept in bed. ”

"The Xiao family has many heirs. In the past, there was the favored Emperor Rong's concubine, and then there were your beautiful sisters and sisters as substitutes. You, who are unfavored and ignorant, it's better to keep a low profile in front of the county lord. After all, the lord of this county goes to Longyang Hall to serve every day, and you can only sit in the harem, without an edict. ”

Concubine Xi was so angry that her whole body was trembling, and as soon as the slave's words were finished, Xu Quan walked out of it and saluted Concubine Xi, "Niangniang, Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, please go back." ”

Xu Quan's words came just right, and the smile on the slave's face was even stronger. She gently took Hee's hand, but the sharp nails were already digging deep into her flesh.

"Concubine Xi take care of herself, Mingjia will retire first." Nu'er let go of Concubine Xi's hand and slowly left with graceful steps.

"The county lord shouldn't have a conflict with Concubine Xi today."

On the way, Xinmei said with a worried face.

"What, do you think I've offended the imperial concubine?" Nu'er asked lightly.

The new eyebrows nodded nondeniably. Unexpectedly, the slave looked indifferent, and said lightly, "If I really let Concubine Xi completely lose the chance to accept favor, I'm afraid that Emperor Rong's concubine will still thank me with a courtesy." Why do you think Concubine Xi entered the palace? It was those people who watched the imperial concubine and the queen's position miss out, and the years passed, and in order to consolidate the family status, there were more young and beautiful concubines. ”

But in the eyes of the imperial concubine, Concubine Xi is not someone she really wants to support. Instead, it's her fierce rival. Because of the Xi concubine's entry into the palace, the Xiao family supported more than just the imperial concubine in the harem. On the other hand, the Xiao family also restricts Xi Concubine from the side. ”

Xinmei nodded as if he didn't understand, "In other words, the imperial concubine not only can't get rid of Concubine Xi by herself because of the family, but also has to help Concubine Xi get favored again." Today, Concubine Xi is humiliated, and Emperor Rong's concubine will only reproach a few words on her face, and she will not really blame the county lord? ”

Nu'er patted Xinmei's head and said with a disgusted expression, "You still have to cultivate again." Among the stakes, go down and ponder it yourself. ”

I was walking to the side of a huge rockery, and at the other end of the rockery came the sound of the weeding maid talking.

"Eh, have you heard? The one in Changqing Palace is the reincarnation of the fox demon, and it fascinates our majesty! ”

"Isn't she the county lord?"

"It's just a name given by His Majesty. I've heard that she climbed onto the dragon's bed before she could get to the end. Because of rumors, this has been delayed for a long time. ”

"No wonder Your Majesty pampered her so much, I said that the ceremony of a little lord was so loud. It turned out to be in exchange for his own body. ”

"Shhhh

"What are you afraid of, it's spread all over the palace. She could still kill everyone. ”

"It's true that this county lord can't kill everyone, but at least he can kill you now." The slave suddenly appeared in front of the two palace maids who were just gossiping, so frightened that they even fell to the ground with the weeding tools in their hands.

The two palace maids were shocked and immediately knelt down, "Slave maid to meet Lord Mingjia!" The county master, the slave and the maid are all nonsense, slave and maid, slave and maid...... Please spare the county lord, the county lord spare your life! ”

Nu'er took a deep breath, she was in a high position, there were many women in the palace, and there were often rumors. So generally, these gossips about the Changqing Palace will not mention it in front of her. If she hadn't heard it by chance today, she wouldn't have known that these rumors had reached such a ridiculous point that they even involved her innocence.

"Where did you hear these words? Answer honestly, the lord of this county will spare you the death penalty. There wasn't much expression on the slave's face, but there was already a hint of anger in his tone.

"The slave maid just happened to hear the palace maid at the next table talking about it during the dinner yesterday. Today, I just had nothing to do, so I picked up their quarrels. ”

The slave raised her eyebrows, "I heard you say that it has spread all over the palace, what do you mean?" The slave asked leisurely.

"This ......"

"Back to the county lord, it has spread all over the palace, saying that Your Majesty is very fond of you, and you will be crowned a mother in a few days!" Another maid replied.

Xinmei scolded angrily, "What nonsense! ”

I see. Because of these rumors, Xi Concubine showed such eyes, so Xi Concubine deliberately fell down to embarrass her. That's why there will be so many lines of inquiry at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet. It all makes sense.

Nu'er turned her head to look at Xinmei, "You already knew, didn't you?" ”

The new eyebrows lowered their heads weakly, "County Lord, the rumors stop at the wise. Besides, this is all a non-existent thing, and the slave doesn't want you to bother you to hear it. ”

"Ridiculous!" The self-inflicted assertion of the servile new eyebrows. Rumors are rife, and it is obvious that someone deliberately framed it. Now that the situation has spread to such an extent, how can it be so easy to turn the situation around!

"County master, the slave knows that she is wrong." Xinmei said aggrievedly.

"That's it. It's no use being angry with you. The slave looked at the two palace maids kneeling on the ground, "I will punish you two to clean up all the weeds in the palace before you can eat." The new eyebrows remember to inform their housekeeper, Mama. ”

With that, the slave walked straight to the front alone. Angrily returned to the Changqing Palace.

"Ruoling, go and find out where the rumors about me in the palace came from."

"Nanshuang, I will send a letter out of the palace and hand it over to Tong'an immediately."

"No need to look it up." Nan Shuang said suddenly, "I have already traced these rumors, and these rumors have spread since the day of the county lord and the emperor. It came from the Longyang Palace. ”

Ruo Ling wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "Someone must have bribed the people of Longyang Hall to spread rumors. But it's really hard to find out who exactly started the rumors from. ”

This guy is really smart. The slave closed her eyes and went through all the people in the palace with a deep heart. I really feel that although I am a little more publicized in the palace, I am indeed well-behaved, except for the two sisters of Chang Mutang, I have never offended anyone.

"County Lord, I heard Caiyun beside Ying Guiren say that she met Mengsheng when she went to Longyang Hall to deliver soup that day. Could it be that this matter has something to do with the lord of Huashang? Wan Ting spoke tentatively.

"You know a lot." The slave said nonchalantly. She waved everyone back.

The best way to dispel rumors at the moment is to find someone you want to marry. Otherwise, if the rumors are allowed to circulate, I am afraid that she will become a thorn in the side of those women in the harem, and so many people will be caught off guard by the fact that they have a thought.

But she has the final say in her marriage. Now there is only one way left, that is, a major event occurs to divert attention, or really make a posture that is about to be crowned a mother, and find a few people to kill chickens and monkeys, and naturally it will gradually stop.

Among the two, once the latter is not well controlled, it may be that the mother did not do it, but lost her grace. So let's go back to the former.

So, what big things can be in the palace?
