Volume 6 Chapter 21 Be careful
Gyeongin Palace in the inner courtyard
Tong Ruohua sat bored in the rattan chair in the courtyard, his legs resting on the stone steps, his hand constantly wrapping his handkerchief, and his expression was fluttering.
"Niangniang, this is the filial piety of the people of the Internal Affairs Office this morning." In his hand, the peach holds a lacquer plate, and in the lacquer plate is placed a delicately carved sandalwood box. Zhi Tao opened the box, took out a pair of crystal clear jade bracelets and sent them to Tong Ruohua, asking her to take a look.
Tong Ruohua played with the jade bracelet, was in a good mood, and smiled proudly: "It's still the people in the Internal Affairs Office who are sensible, and they know that this palace likes such things." After saying that, he put the bracelet on his wrist and smiled even more.
Since moving to Jingren Palace to be alone, Tong Ruohua has become more and more comfortable. Although living here alone is inevitably lonely, it is extraordinarily free. What you want to eat, what you want to do, and then look at the eyes of others. And the people in the Internal Affairs Office also understand the reason, and whatever she likes, they will immediately send it to her.
After getting a good thing, Tong Ruohua was in a good mood, so she didn't want to sit here alone and be bored, so she asked Zhitao and Zhixia to dress up for her a little, and then left Jingren Palace and went in the direction of the Imperial Garden.
Originally, Tong Ruohua's good mood disappeared without a trace after meeting Jinghao in the imperial garden.
Because she saw that on Jing Hao's wrist, she was wearing a pair of jade bracelets that were identical to those on her wrist, and they looked of better texture.
"Didn't you say that this pair of bracelets belonged to the filial piety of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Tong Ruohua lowered her voice and asked, her face full of anger.
Zhi Tao replied tremblingly: "The slave doesn't know the reason, but the bracelet of the mother was indeed sent by someone from the Internal Affairs Office." I didn't hear that it was a reward, so the slave and maid thought that it was the people of the Internal Affairs Office who honored the mother. Perhaps, there was more than one pair of bracelets, and the people of the Internal Affairs Office sent the other pair to Changchun Palace. ”
"Do you think Hongu is so foolish?" Tong Ruohua really wanted to slap her twice to make her sober.
"Hurry up and inquire, where did Concubine Jing's bracelet come from? How did this pair of Hongu come about? Tong Ruohua turned around and left, and went back in the direction of Jingren Palace alone.
Zhi Tao was stunned for a while before he reacted, and hurriedly ran towards the idea of the Internal Affairs Office.
trotted all the way, and finally arrived at the Internal Affairs Office, but seeing that the person in charge was not there, he pulled a little eunuch and asked carefully.
The little eunuch didn't know much, but he only vaguely knew that these two pairs of bracelets were originally tribute. Xuan Ye got these two pairs of bracelets, and when he was studying the color of the bracelets with Chunxi, Jing happened to go to the Qianqing Palace to ask for peace. Jing Hao liked the bracelet very much, and it happened that Chun Xi didn't like the jade bracelet, so Xuan Ye gave the pair with better color to Jing Hao. As for the other couple, they didn't say what to do.
Zhi Tao was half skeptical, and asked two little eunuchs one by one, and the answers were almost the same, so he turned back.
As soon as Zhitao left, Mu Hui came out of the corner, rewarded a few eunuchs who had just replied, and returned to Yikun Palace with a smile.
When Tong Ruohua waited for Zhitao to come back, he was already almost asleep, and when he heard the movement, he immediately turned over from the couch and asked anxiously, "How is it?" What do you hear? ”
The pair of jade bracelets in Jing Concubine's hand was rewarded by the emperor, and Jing Concubine chose the pair in good condition and left. As for the other couple, I'm afraid it's really the minions of the Internal Affairs Office who are filial to you. Zhitao knelt on the ground, drooping her head, not daring to look up at Tong Ruohua.
Tong Ruohua sneered: "Even if it is really the people of the Internal Affairs Office who are filial to the palace, it is the slut of Concubine Jing who picks the rest." threw away the pair of bracelets, and Hongu was upset when he saw it. ”
"Mother, you can't." When Zhi Tao heard this, he hurriedly raised his head to stop him: "This pair of bracelets was originally a tribute, and the people of the Internal Affairs Office took it out and sent it to Niangniang without permission, which was originally out of order." If the mother really threw away the bracelet, it would inevitably cause trouble after being discovered. ”
"But this palace can't always keep such things, it's just an eyesore." Tong Ruohua said angrily.
Zhi Tao thought about it, and soon paid attention, whispered his attention in Tong Ruohua's ear, and soon saw Tong Ruohua laugh and praised: "This method is good." This defective product, this palace is naturally not rare, but there are always people who are rare. You have done this tonight, if Ming'er hears the good news, the reward will not be less. ”
"Niangniang, the slave doesn't dare to ask for a reward, sharing the worries for the mother is originally a matter for the slave and the maid." Peach smiled.
Tong Ruohua looked at her with satisfaction, and her heart was even more happy. Fortunately, there is still a peach by her side that she can trust, she can talk to relieve her boredom, and it is not in vain that she has treated the peach well for so many years.
The efficiency of the peach is very good, and the next day the day is bright, and the news comes out from the Changchun Palace.
Lychee, one of the palace maids close to Jinghao, was punished to the Shen Xing Division, and after being punished, he was assigned to Xin Zheku.
When Tong Ruohua heard the news, he was very satisfied, and said to him: "This thing is done well." That lychee has been with Concubine Jing for a long time, and I heard that she was brought into the palace from the house with that new child. Now, Concubine Jing has one less cronie by her side, and the palace is even more handy in dealing with her. ”
"The slave maid originally wanted to make Xin'er's cheap maid suffer, but she didn't expect Lychee to see the pair of bracelets first. When I saw the bracelet, I thought it belonged to Jing Concubine, so I hurriedly put it away and put it into the box. Who knew that in the box, there was a pair of good ones, and the color was better. Lychee got into a bad mood, and used this pair of bracelets with poor color to replace the pair of Jing Concubine. He also hid things, and when he was discovered, he couldn't tell why, so he could only be punished. Zhi Tao proudly confided the truth, and was extremely happy to hear Tong Ruohua's affirmation of herself.
"Hmph, who of the people in this palace is not greedy? Who doesn't want to use good things? Tong Ruohua smiled disdainfully and sneered: "Concubine Jing has such a greedy slave around her, and she can only be blamed for her lack of discipline." If you die by yourself, no one can stop you. ”
In Yikun Palace, Chunxi was feeding in the fish pond, and saw Mu Hui coming over with a smile: "Niangniang, good news, the lychee has been removed." ”
"Lychee has also followed Concubine Jing for many years, but I didn't expect to be eliminated by Concubine Hua in two or three clicks, and there is really no good minion." The movements in Chunxi's hand stopped, and he turned to Mu Hui and said, "There is a new child by Concubine Jing's side, which was also brought by Concubine Jing from the house, this person has won the trust of Concubine Jing, so be careful." ”
"Rest assured, the lychee has been removed, and soon the person we arranged will be able to take the place of the lychee. As for Xin'er, if it is difficult to deal with, the slave will find a way to get rid of her. Being able to easily remove the lychee, Mu Hui was also a little surprised. Originally, he just wanted to provoke the contradiction between Tong Ruohua and Jing Hao, so that Jing Hao's mind was transferred to Tong Ruohua, and Tong Ruohua was also allowed to concentrate on dealing with Jing Hao. Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected joy in the middle.
"Well, just let her keep an eye on Concubine Jing's every move." Although there is still Du Ruo in Changchun Palace, Chunxi still doesn't want to let Jing Hao grow stronger and stronger. And now Jing Hao is already wary of Du Ruo, and Du Ruo is also restricted from doing things. Jing Hao is now gradually gaining a foothold in the harem because of the power of the court, but it can't become an obstacle for Chunxi for a while, and it will also bring trouble to Chunxi one day.
What's more, now that Suo Etu has conspired with Tong Ruofei, then Jing Hao will also go to Tong Ruofei's side. In this way, it is not easy to deal with Tong Ruofei.
Chun Xi didn't want to go wrong during this period, so that Jing Hao Fisherman would benefit.
"Niangniang, Lord Oro Dai is here." Honey Yi walked over and replied respectfully to Chunxi.
Chunxi handed over the fish food in his hand to Mu Hui and instructed, "Don't sprinkle too much, the fish will die." ”
When he saw Oro Dai, his face was full of smiles, and Oro Dai was a little embarrassed by the smile.
"Weichen doesn't know what Niangniang commands?" Oro Dai asked with a slightly red face.
Chun Xi said: "Oro Dai, this palace remembers that you once mentioned that you and your Ama have never been on good terms? ”
"Not bad." Oro Dai nodded: "Ama killed my mother, and I will never forgive him in this life." When he mentioned his Ama Tong Guogang, Oro Dai felt a burst of disgust in his heart.
"But as the eldest son in the family, sooner or later you will inherit your Amma title." As the uncle of the country, Tong Guogang, like Tong Guowei, is an important person in the Tong family. In the DPRK and China, they also have a place.
"I understand, but if he has two hearts, I'm not uncommon." Knowing that the heir of his Amma mind is not himself, Oro Dai has never had the luxury of getting half of his family affection or even rights from Tong Guogang.
Chunxi smiled and said, "But this palace is rare. ”
Oro Dai was a little confused, and wondered: "What do you mean by Niangniang?" ”
Chun Xi said again: "Actually, you should also understand the current situation of this palace. You can come to Yikun Palace today, and this palace also believes that your heart is still towards this palace. This palace also understands that you don't like anyone in the Tong family. However, you should also know that this palace is now under attack. ”
"Niangniang has something to do, just command, Oro Dai will never give up." Over the years, he has followed Xuan Ye. In addition to knowing Xuan Ye's thoughts, he also understands Xuan Xi's personality. Oro Dai was originally not on good terms with the Tong family, although he was a member of the Tong family, he was not unfamiliar with his identity. But today, since Chunxi invited him over and said such a thing, there must be something important.
"It's a refreshing person." Chun Xi was delighted: "This palace is no longer beating around the bush." This palace is weak now, and you understand. Although the Tong family is not rare, this palace also cares about it. Now the people in charge of the Tong family are Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei, as long as there are two of them, the status of the imperial concubine in the palace will never change. Hongu doesn't want to passively wait for death, so I need you to help Hongu. The Tong family, this palace must be mastered. ”
"But...... I have almost disowned the Tong family. Oro Dai was a little embarrassed, he understood what he meant, but he didn't know how to achieve his goal.
"I heard that the Tong family should have returned to Manchuria a long time ago." Reminder.
Oro Dai was a little surprised, and asked puzzledly: "But the Tong family's return to Manchuria is a great honor." In this way, wouldn't the Tong family's power be strengthened. At that time, the imperial concubine will really be alone in the palace. Isn't it ...... Niangniang to do this?"
But Chun Xi didn't think so, and only said: "This palace knows the seriousness of the matter. Bengong also believes that with your ability, it is not difficult to return to the Tong family. Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they are not suitable to deal with them after so many years of fighting in the DPRK and China. So Hongu didn't want to really attack them. ”、
Oro Dai couldn't understand it, since Chun Xi knew this, why did he do it again. But Oro Dai didn't ask any further. He knew that Chunxi was not a foolish person, and she naturally had her reasons for doing things.
Since she wants to do this by herself, she has already thought about the plan for the future.
