After that, he left the elder brother's office, separated from the queen, and walked all the way back to his residence, and Rong Changzai was full of thoughts, all of which were about Fang Cai.
It's just a few complaints in private, which can quickly reach the queen, and she must be more cautious in whatever she says in the future.
But the queen treats her well, and Rong Changzai can really feel it, the queen exalts her very much, and gives her dignity everywhere, which is what Rong Changzai must reciprocate.
She has also been thinking about what kind of return the queen expects from herself, and a few words today make it clear to her that the queen hopes that she can understand which side she should be on.
"Rong Changzai, what are you thinking?" Zhang asked softly on the side, "Why do you keep being distracted?" โ
Rong Changzai said: "How long have you been on an errand in Yikun Palace?" โ
Zhang smiled bitterly, lowered his eyes and said: "Concubine Zhao entered the palace, I was in Yikun Palace, it has always been a rough job, and Dong Yun and a few others are responsible for the little things that are close to me." That night, the palace maid on duty at the door happened to be uncomfortable, and I changed shifts, who knows, I ......"
Rong Chang comforted her: "It's all over, Concubine Zhao is generous, and she has never deliberately targeted you, don't take the past to heart." โ
Zhang promised and sighed: "What you said is that life will always pass, not to mention that I don't have to work now, I have good food and drink, what else do I have to be unhappy about." โ
Rong Chang said: "We are people with cheap fortunes, and the great favor is falling, so let's accept it honestly." โ
They went back to their residence along the West Road, and they must pass through Zhong Cui Palace, so coincidentally, when they met Hui Concubine to go out, a group of palace maids and eunuchs were outside the door, which bumped into them, and they couldn't take it as if they didn't see it, Rong Chang was taking Zhang's family and went forward to salute.
Hui Concubine went out, her complexion was very bad, she raised her eyes and saw Rong Chang there, and smiled bitterly: "Are you passing by, or are you coming to see me?" โ
Rong Chang replied truthfully, and Concubine Hui was even more sad when she heard it, so she didn't bother to say anything more, so she helped Mama Wang and said, "Let's go." โ
Everyone hugged Hui Concubine and left, like going to Ningshou Palace, everyone in the palace knew about the events of the previous day, and it was estimated that they were going to make amends.
After they walked away, Zhang said: "I heard Dong promise that when Concubine Hui was still Hui Gege, she was very compatible with you, and the Empress Dowager also loved her, even if she was with Concubine Zhao, she never blushed." โ
Rong Chang said: "But isn't it, who knows what's wrong, suddenly changed sex, and the world is unpredictable." โ
The two continued to walk back, and Zhang agreed: "This is not unusual, people will change, Ao Bai was still a loyal minister in the past, and followed Emperor Taizong to expand the territory." โ
Seeing that the Zhang family mentioned Ao Bai without any scruples, Rong Chang glanced at her and secretly warned himself that she was by no means a proper person, and she had to be a little more careful when she spoke in the future, except for Sister Dong's weak and good temperament, smart and reliable people, there was only Nalan Clan.
However, the Nalan clan is too smart, Rong Chang is consciously inferior to her, and the young lady of the official family is well-educated and knowledgeable, which can be compared with her own background.
She stopped, looked back at the empty East and West Sixth Palace, and sighed softly in her heart, who knows what the future will be, when she was a palace maid, she could still look forward to the year of leaving the palace, and now? What to expect?
In the blink of an eye, the summer heat is gone, the golden autumn is coming, Concubine Zhao is here, she is busy for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet early, and she can't even take care of the sadness of not being able to conceive a child.
This year, the emperor eradicated the Aobai party, raided countless mansions, and collected mountains of gold and silver, and Xuan Ye used part of the money for natural disaster relief and military expansion in various places, and a large part of it was filled into the treasury.
For a long time, Xuan Ye was worried that the court had no money, and when he was a child, he would talk to his grandmother and his mother, Huang Ama was too extravagant to hold funerals, and the court had no money.
This time, after recovering so much money, Xuan Ye was finally a little excited, and personally went to Yikun Palace to tell Ling Zhao that he would hold a grand and decent Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
Last year, the inner palace was thrifty, and at the end of the year, a large amount of silver was saved to help the affected land in the name of the empress dowager, in exchange for the gratitude of the people, and established a good reputation for the Qing court.
In any case, the imperial court cares about the people's livelihood, and twenty-six years after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, as long as they do not disobey the imperial court and behave honestly, the lives of ordinary people are better than those of Chongzhen.
Yu'er was very happy, and at that time, she gave her own jewelry to the queen and Lingzhao, and the queen was humble, saying that most of it was the credit of Concubine Zhao, and in front of the queen mother, she also gave her share to Lingzhao.
For four years, Ling Zhao finally had her most suitable position between the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor and Empress.
But this position is not easy to sit on, and Curb Pilon has long warned his daughter that she has done everything too well, and if there is a slight mistake in the future, it is likely that she will never recover.
As a result, Lingzhao also tried to learn to take a step back at the right time, no longer rush to the forefront of everything, or pull someone to bear it with himself.
At the moment, the person she uses the most is Rong Chang in Ma Jia's family, in Lingzhao's opinion, she is honest, cautious and meticulous, and more importantly, she is also the biological mother of the emperor's eldest son.
On this day, Rong Changzai was called to Yikun Palace to discuss the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet with the people from the Internal Affairs Office and the Imperial Dining Room.
Rong Changzai didn't dare to interject in a whisper, he sat silently aside, Ling Zhao saw it in his eyes, and took the initiative to ask her: "Rong Changzai, do you think there is anything else to add or subtract?" โ
"Concubine ......" Rong Changzai thought for a while and said, "The mother arranged it so properly and thoughtfully, the concubine really couldn't think of anything." โ
"I think that the queen mother and Nalan are often pregnant, pregnant women have taboos, and they have food preferences, is it another meal for Niangniang and Nalan to prepare." Ling Zhao asked, "What do you see?" โ
Rong Changzai responded: "What Niangniang said is very true, but ......" But before she finished speaking, she became nervous, for fear that she would lose her dignity in front of the slaves.
Concubine Zhao was very patient and asked, "You go on, but what?" โ
Rong Changzai got up and said, "The concubine wants to say...... Since Sister Nalan became pregnant, she has been worried that she will be treated preferentially and will cause trouble for you and the queen, she is careful and careful, cautious and cautious, which is very distressing. So the concubine thought, Sister Nalan doesn't have to, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and there is always something that Sister Nalan likes. โ
Ling Zhao bowed, and then continued to discuss the next matter, and after a full hour, the people of the Internal Affairs Office and the Imperial Dining Room dispersed.
Rong Chang has been sitting for so long, his head is a mess, what he just said, he has long forgotten it, and he really admires Concubine Zhao for always being able to take care of everything so thoroughly.
She thought she could go, but she was called down by Concubine Zhao and asked her with a smile: "Are you, you still haven't said half of it?" โ
Rong Chang looked nervous and shook his head stiffly.
"Do you still want to say, do you want to prepare another meal for the queen's mother, I should go to Kunning Palace to ask for advice first?" Ling Zhao said.
"Concubine ......" Rong Chang was speechless.
Ling Zhao said in a calm tone, and then asked: "Are you afraid that saying it will make me lose my dignity in front of the minions, as if I can't make decisions and ask the queen to make decisions about everything?" โ
Rong Changzai knelt down in fright, and shook his head again and again: "The concubine didn't dare to think so." โ
Ling Zhao said kindly, "I believe in you, but maybe in the future, there will be such a situation." You must know that I chose you to assist me in taking care of the affairs of the Six Palaces, and that was also the nod of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother. They value your responsibilities and talents, so don't be presumptuous. โ
"Mother's ......"
"If you can think of anything like that, tell me the truth." Ling Zhao said, "I don't care too much, what I ask is to do everything perfectly." โ
After that, Rong Chang left Yikun Palace in a daze, and somehow, he was suddenly sandwiched between the two palaces, with the queen's hint on one side and Concubine Zhao's kindness on the other, she had never learned how to deal with such a thing.
Walking all the way back to the residence, she happened to meet Nalan who was going out for a walk, and seeing that Rong Changzai's face was pale, she stepped forward and said with concern: "Sister, what's wrong with you?" โ
Rong Changzai sighed and shook his head: "I'm fine." โ
Nalan Chang heard just now that Rong Chang was being found by Concubine Zhao, thinking that he must have met something in Yikun Palace, so he took the initiative to say: "Sister come and sit in my room, I will be quiet there." โ
Ji Xin also said on the side: "Yes, master, go and sit for a while, otherwise as soon as you enter the door, those few people will pester you again and make a fuss." โ
At this moment, in Kunning Palace, as in previous years, she is preparing for the queen's Mid-Autumn Festival reward, and the things that Shu Shu sends every year are not unusual, but the names on the gift box are all written by her own hand. It is said that many princes and nobles have collected the queen's ink treasures, which is said to be very rare.
A palace maid entered the door and said: "Niangniang, Yikun Palace is scattered." โ
Shu Shu didn't raise his head: "What's wrong?" โ
The palace maid replied: "Someone saw that Rong Chang came out of the door in despair, and he didn't know what happened. โ
Shu Shu finished writing one, changed it again, copied it according to the list sorted out by Pomegranate, and said disappreciably: "Sitting for two hours, everyone is tired, don't make a fuss." โ
Pomegranate motioned for them to retreat, and went out to say a few words, and came back to Shu Shu and said: "Niangniang, don't worry, the slave and maid will control them, and the incident between Ao Bai and Concubine Ning at the beginning can't happen again." โ
Shu Shu raised his head and asked Pomegranate, "Guess what's wrong?" โ
Pomegranate said: "It's very simple, if you ask someone from the Internal Affairs Office or the Imperial Dining Room, you will know that they are all on the side." โ
Shu Shu continued to bow his head and write: "Be cautious, don't let her notice." โ
But before he finished writing a note, he had to put down his pen, leaned the mat, held his belly, which was already visibly bulging, and said, "This kid, it's making trouble again." โ
Pomegranate stepped forward to help, found a comfortable position for the queen, and said with a smile: "When the emperor was in his mother's belly, he was also very naughty, and the slave and maid estimated that you were going to give birth to a little brother." โ
Shu Shu stroked her stomach and said with a smile: "Brother and Princess are fine, I will be satisfied with being healthy, but ......" she smiled at the pomegranate, "Auntie, I want to drink a bowl of soy milk, it should be cold." โ
Pomegranate immediately went to prepare, Shu Shu watched her leave, and read the unspoken half a sentence to the child in her womb: "E-Niang hopes that you can be a boy, and E-Niang will give birth to a prince for your Amma." โ
