Chapter 32: The Palace Plan

Time slowly entered June, and the days were getting hotter day by day, and Murong Zhi's current itinerary was only one to ask the Queen Mother for peace. After the lockdown was lifted, Murong Zhi specially wore a plain and low-key dress to go forward, although she didn't say the obvious words and sentences, but her low head was full of style.

The Queen Mother looked at her appearance of "correcting when she knows her mistakes", and she had no idea of continuing to punish, but just said a few heavy words as a point, Murong Zhi seemed to accept it humbly, but in fact, it was in and out of the left ear, and there was no sincerity at all. In this world, there is no one else who can teach her a lesson, except for Gu Huai and Feng Yiluo.

Every year when summer is approaching, the palace mentions going out to escape the heat. Murong Zhi must go, at this time, the so-called emperor and queen accompany him, and the concubines after that are to see the emperor's opinion, if it is necessary or more favored, bring it, and leave the others. Every year, because of the problems of accompanying them, many concubines will fight for their heads, and this year is no exception.

Everyone knows when Concubine Wan and Concubine Chen began to look at each other unpleasantly, at the previous lotus appreciation meeting advocated by Concubine Xiang, Concubine Chen's maid poured tea on Concubine Wan's new clothes and wet them, Concubine Chen said that she wanted to change, but this Concubine Wan complained a few words, brushed her sleeves and left. So far, the two have never said a word again, which made Concubine Wan like to run to Murong Zhi's side, and after she came, she still looked gentle and amiable, but after seeing Murong Zhi's cold face for two days in a row, she still went back by herself, and she was very divided in her palace in the past two days, saying that she practiced embroidery or something.

Chenlai Palace.

"Niangniang won't come here just to train the concubines, right?" Wang Jingchen sat down, looking at the graceful woman in front of her who was wearing a brocade blue flower and bird rich gold-rimmed jacket, her hair was pulled up, and she was simply in a bun at the back of her head, and a gilded eight-treasure sapphire hairpin was inserted upright, simple but not mediocre, clean but not simple. It was so early in the morning, Wang Jingchen had just finished dressing up, and when she was thinking about whether to go to Fenglan Palace, Concubine Zhao came over.

"Concubine Chen, it's time to go." Chen Xia, the big palace maid beside her, didn't even look at Concubine Zhao, brought a bowl of tea and said slowly. Concubine Zhao looked at this scene, her face was still soft, and she had no expression at all. It's hard to tell how to deal with this person's big face.

"Since Concubine Chen has something to do, the mourning family won't bother." Concubine Zhao stood up with a thousand graces, and the people who have lived in the palace for so many years still have momentum. Wang Jingchen watched her stand up and make a gesture of sending off guests, but she was blocked by Concubine Zhao's soft words and couldn't say anything: "It's time for the mourning family to go to see the queen, the queen said that the mourning family will go to taste tea today." Qianxia, you look at the memory of the mourning family. ”

Murong Zhi never deliberately invited anyone, and never took the initiative to consider others, everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Zhao and Concubine Xiang were very good to the queen, but Murong Zhi never took the initiative to do anything for them. Such a sentence did catch Wang Jingchen, who looked down on Murong Zhi from the bottom of her heart.

Qianxia was also on the side to help, and lightly straightened the collar of Concubine Zhao, and her voice was full of smiles: "Yes, the queen mother said that the concubine's memory is not good, and she needs to be reminded a lot, Qianxia knows her mistake, but she forgot about this stubble." The master and servant walked out with a smile and a smile, and one raised his hand to stop Wang Jingchen's words.

"Niangniang is relieved, who in this palace doesn't know the cold nature of the queen's mother, what if she is lying to you? It's not like you haven't seen such a shoddy trick, have you? Qianxia looked at the clouds on Wang Jingchen's face, and her heart was even more bottomless. The last grandmother who had been with her for a long time was beaten up because of a small mistake in the hairpin, and now she is still lying in bed and can't get off, otherwise it won't be her turn to come over to be her big palace maid.

"Look at the tea." As soon as Concubine Chen's master and servant walked to the gate of Fenglan Palace, they heard Murong Zhi's calm voice coming from inside, as always, there were no ups and downs and no delicateness, I really don't know what she could do to make the emperor so infatuated, even in her Chenlai Palace, people have never been absent-minded, just a talking wood. It's just that there are other people too? Concubine Zhao's foot strength would not have arrived at this time anyway. Something strange slowly floated in my heart, and I walked in slowly.

Murong Zhi's rules are never reported to anyone, not arrogant or whatever, it's just that she doesn't bow her head, no matter who she is looking at. The emperor never forced her to do this, and the queen mother did not have too many rules because of what the emperor said, "merit is indispensable", and other people do not have this ability, let alone this qualification.

It wasn't until Wang Jingchen went in that he knew what he was facing. Concubine Zhao, Concubine Wan, Concubine Xiang, and precious people were all there, slowly sipping tea, with a leisurely expression of harmonious conversation, as soon as she stepped in, everyone looked at her, as if she had destroyed this harmony.

"The concubine asks the queen to say goodbye, and the queen is safe." Huang Ying is as crisp as coming out of the valley, and he is very energetic when he hears it, but the luxurious clothes of the people who come are in stark contrast to the woman in a blue dress sitting at the top of the hall, and the people in the whole hall are in contrast.

Everyone knows that the queen never likes to be flamboyant, but the queen has not clearly restricted the color of anyone's clothes or anything, but everyone will consciously wear a little plainer. In a real sense, this is the first time that Concubine Chen has come to greet the queen.

Although Murong Zhi's words really don't like others to disturb him, no one really dares not to come all the time, the things on the scene still have to be done, even if both parties are unhappy, they still have to continue. Wang Jingchen has been in the palace for so long, and she doesn't know what's wrong, and she hasn't woken up yet.

"Get up, sit down, serve tea." Murong Zhi cherished words like gold, and there was no expression on her face, but she frowned lightly. What day is it today, these people are all here, and the smell of flowers and fruits that Yunshuang finally made was directly covered by the smell of fat powder, which made her disgusted for a while.

"What's the matter with you guys today?" Murong Zhi was dug up by Yunshuang early in the morning, saying that Concubine Wan was already waiting for her in the flower hall. finally got dressed and got up, only then did he see Concubine Wan and Concubine Xiang together, and her arrogant appearance made Murong Zhi even more irritable. This is the Wind Lan Palace, and no one can go wild here.

"Did Concubine Wan come over early in the morning without washing?" Murong Zhi was standing on the corridor at that time, holding the wine jar sent by Xiang Guifei before, with a leisurely expression, but what she said was not worth her life.

Yang Li'er rarely listened to this kind of joke on the rivers and lakes, and she didn't react for a while, so she forgot to say hello to Murong Zhi, and was stunned on the spot. Xiang Guifei knew this, and quietly took a handkerchief to cover the corners of her mouth, smiling reservedly. When the faint voice came out, Yang Li'er was embarrassed, and after saluting, Murong Zhi lightly asked them to go in and sit.

"Niangniang laughed, the concubines just came to talk to Niangniang today, thinking about entering the palace for so long, but there are few times to communicate with Niangniang, and today I finally found the time to come." Concubine Wan was the first to speak, and her words were soft and cute, judging from this voice, there was capital to get the emperor's favor.

"That's it. Let's talk about it. Murong Zhi really didn't know what to say. She doesn't like crap.

"The incense in this hall is special, but I don't know if my sisters have the opportunity to smell it." Xiang Guifei is not here to decorate, she opens her mouth gently, and she feels very clear. Slowly break the dullness.

"Cloud Frost." Murong Zhi glanced lazily, but still didn't want to speak. But in the eyes of others, they are not worthy to talk to her. When the master speaks, what does it mean for a palace maid to interject.

"This is an ordinary spice sent by the internal affairs superintendent, but we thought that the master rarely used incense, so we mixed it with some powder made of ground lotus. The master doesn't know, so the slave and maid say, I hope the masters don't be surprised. Yunshuang finished slowly, and then explained lightly. Murong Zhi doesn't care doesn't mean that others don't care, and only she is so lazy.

"I see, it's really hot this summer, and I don't even dare to use incense, it's stuffy." Concubine Wan just answered, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly. This palace maid can talk a lot more than the main master.

"Speaking of summer, I don't know who the emperor will bring to the palace this year. It's also troublesome when it's hot, running around. Concubine Zhao waited for a while and didn't see anyone speak again, so she could only point it out herself. It's such a simple thing, and it's troublesome to have to be so slow.

"That's right. I don't know if the queen has ever heard the emperor say something? At this time, Concubine Chen was also energetic, and finally spoke. Her purpose is this matter, and it is better for someone to ask about it, and it will save her from doing it again. Concubine Zhao is not so annoying sometimes.

More like a bystander, though.

"The emperor hasn't been here in the palace for nearly half a month, how does the palace know." Murong Zhi raised his eyes at this time, and the deep lake of eyes could make people drown easily. The words he said were also fair, how could this group of people who had become elites not know the emperor's movements?

"Speaking of which, isn't the emperor frequented Sister Wanfei recently? What has my sister heard? "This sister is smart, Li Zhen has learned some etiquette in the palace for so long, and it seems that she has been taught some lessons. It is difficult not to be bullied. But it's also straightforward.

"The emperor, how could the emperor ever tell people other than Niangniang about this, after all, Niangniang is the master of the harem." The tone is sour, and Concubine Wan's coquettish-looking appearance is a good cover.

"Sisters, are there any candidates? Since this palace is the master of the harem, the opinions of the sisters naturally have to be listened to carefully. Murong Zhi sat up straight and began to speak well. Didn't this group of people come up with something to stop today? Let's make a fuss, I haven't spoken in a long time.
