Chapter 21: The Phoenix Meeting

Qing Ruifan didn't see Gu Lingge's face change or get angry in the end, and when he went to bed, Qing Ruifan deliberately waited for Gu Lingge on the bed, but Gu Lingge just turned over his clothes and made do with it on the table outside all night. Qing Ruifan didn't know, but he didn't dare to stop it. He couldn't see through Gu Lingge's mood today, so he could only let her go.

There has always been only Qing Ruifan who will be someone else's, and this will fall one by one, although it is not very balanced, but it is not so difficult to accept in my heart. He could only convince himself of the reason that "she is Gu Lingge". As long as it is her, all reasons can not be reasons, and all rules are actually not rules.

On the second day, as soon as the palace maid of the palace opened her eyes, she saw Yunshuang in formal clothes standing at the gate of the palace with a stack of books in her hand, and saw that people woke up, and asked the time with a smile. Yunshuang is the new queen's maid in charge, how can she be lazy? The palace maid hurriedly reported the time, Yunshuang continued to laugh, and then entered the door to ask if the palace maid in charge was there, and the two of them went to each palace together after they came out.

The full content of the Phoenix Order is posted on the edge of the Jincui Mountain Pavilion in the center of the Seventy-two Pavilions of the Sixth Courtyard of the Harem, so that anyone can see it, and it is not unfair to publish it.

In the end, Yang Li'er became the concubine who lived in the Chunlan Palace, and Wang Jingchen became the concubine who lived in the same place. The two are equal. In addition, there is also a Hunan noble concubine who came from the hidden mansion and Liu Xiuyi and Qing Ruifan. These two noble little lords are characters who don't show up to talk much, but they both remember that they had to come early in the morning to thank the queen, but the two ladies didn't come until after noon. Yun Shuang and another older aunt, Li Xia, looked at this scene, and their whole hearts were irritated and contemptuous.

Morning.

"Aunt Queen Mother." Wang Jingchen dressed herself well, took a look at the bronze mirror several times, and when she felt that there was nothing wrong or inappropriate, she slowly walked to Ci'an Hall. Mama didn't say a word along the way, although Wang Jingchen was sometimes very childish and arrogant, but when it came to the specifics, she still had a clear priority. At this time, she said that she said too much, or she suffered a loss.

"Does Chen'er still remember the mourning family?" The Queen Mother had long expected that Wang Jingchen would come, look at her makeup and momentum now, she has lost the crazy pride of the past, and now she is more quiet and indifferent. It seems that the exposure in the palace in the past two years has helped her calm down, which is also a good thing.

"The Queen Mother's aunt's teachings Chen'er has not forgotten for a moment, and Chen'er has been meditating on herself in the palace for the past two years, hoping to live up to her aunt's painstaking efforts." Wang Jingchen had silently raised her eyelashes as she spoke, and after a while, she raised her head again and looked at the Queen Mother's eyes full of sincerity and repentance.

The Queen Mother watched this niece grow up, how could she not know her true feelings? In fact, this is not bad, at least these two years have taught this person a lesson, knowing how to talk to her aunt in the future, and knowing how to live well in this deep palace.

"That's it, it's so far, it's useless for the mourners to say anything. What do you think? "The Queen Mother finally put on the armor today, and the golden glittering light and the turquoise malachite were placed on the table, Wang Jiaochen looked dazzling and understood that unless she could climb to this position, she would always look at people's faces. And she never had any intention of being subservient

"Auntie, Chen'er doesn't understand." Wang Jingchen looked at the Queen Mother, and her eyebrows were lightly raised. In front of the Queen Mother, truth and falsehood should be opened, after all, this is her aunt, her only support and relatives in the palace, and she naturally needs to be sincere in the face of her. However, after all, she is the one who has been up and down in the palace for so many years and finally came out of power, and she has never seen anything in this harem of selfishness and intrigue, so she can't say it all, after all, the heart of defense is indispensable.

"Chen'er doesn't understand, if the Phoenix Order is the queen's intention, and the queen decides to distribute the entire harem without consulting you, isn't it overstepping her authority? It's a clear no-brainer that I don't take you seriously. Wang Jingchen didn't mean to sow discord, she just didn't figure it out. If Murong Zhi overstepped her authority like this, it would be strange that the Queen Mother would tolerate it.

"Heh, do you think she's really so blind." The queen mother's mocking voice came out, and her tone and eyes were cold and shallow anger, "On the night she received the edict, she came to the mourning family with the phoenix decree drafted by the previous internal affairs supervisor, and she decided everything before leaving." "The more thoughtful she is, the more she is an interesting opponent. And judging from Wang Jingchen's current performance, the chances of winning against her are slim.

"Chen'er, the mourning family knows that your heart has always been higher than the sky, and if you don't want your life to be thinner than paper, you have to listen to the mourning family, otherwise if you die one day, don't blame the mourning family for not saving you." The queen mother has centralized power all her life, and of course she is unhappy to let go of power, but at a deep level, Wang Jingchen is the last hope of their mother's family.

When the former emperor was still there, the entire mother family of the queen mother declined because of bribery and corruption, and the position of the queen mother at that time was not guaranteed, but the first emperor said "how can the woman's family participate in the great politics of the previous dynasty" to cover up the past. Although the words were a little ugly, but at that time, he saved the life of the queen mother, but he still failed to save the Wang family, except for Wang Jingchen, everyone else basically died.

"Chen'er is in charge of everything on her aunt, and she must listen to her teachings carefully so as not to tarnish her aunt's reputation." Wang Jingchen knelt down as she spoke. The only thing Wang Jingchen and Murong Zhi have in common is that they have no family power to rely on, but Wang Jingchen is luckier than Murong Zhi, Wang Jingchen has the Queen Mother as a backer.

The Queen Mother raised her hand and ordered Duan Xia to help Wang Jingchen up, looked at her lightly and smiled. She originally thought that she had nothing to do, but she never expected that the Lanning Palace over there would be a move, and the two of them had been intriguing for so many years, and this time was of course no exception. The palace is a place where people don't see blood, but it is also the most difficult place to distinguish the winner from the loser, and the final winner can only be seen when you live or die.

Fenglan Palace.

"Niangniang, Concubine Zhao came here and wanted to see you." Li Xia looked at Murong Zhi, who was looking at the pages spread out in front of her. Although she has only followed this master for more than two days, judging from her years of experience, this person is calm and unfazed, and he is a person who can achieve great things.

In fact, what she didn't know was that Murong Zhi's indifference and leisure was because she was lazy, and she was not shocked because she didn't care, if she wanted to become a big thing, she was already in power outside, so how could she care about this little harem?

"Concubine Zhao?" Murong Zhi obviously hadn't heard of it, and at that time, she glanced at the Phoenix Order, and when it came to the question of whether to stay in the harem of the previous generation, in order to avoid suspicion, it was left to the Queen Mother to decide. And the Queen Mother is not a good heart, except for Concubine Zhao, there are more than 20 concubines in the previous generation, all of whom were martyred. Murong Zhi just pretended to be humble and obedient at that time, and there was no reaction in her heart, because she had nothing to do with her. But since it is the person left by the Queen Mother, there must be something extraordinary.

"Well, please come in." Murong Zhi is not as good as outside the palace now, and there must be rules and manners, otherwise it will be bad for Qing Ruifan's vision if it is not good. Wait, what was she thinking? Qing Ruifan's sad eyebrows when she got up today suddenly appeared in her mind, her brows furrowed, and she didn't say a word.

Standing up slowly, watching Concubine Zhao, who had a dignified face and did not apply powder, enter the hall, Murong Zhi lost his mind for a moment. This man's face was familiar, as if it had been engraved in the bone marrow a long, long time ago. She、And the mother I saw since childhood, it seems!

"I've seen the concubine." Murong Zhi nodded slightly, for the concubine, she had no obligation or need to make a big gift, after all, her identity and grade were different. Her face was expressionless, but she was still scrutinizing the man very closely. At the same time, he did not forget to tell Lixia to show tea to the concubine.

Murong Zhi felt familiar when she saw the concubine, and even more so when Concubine Zhao saw Murong Zhi. The straight and small nose bridge, the natural white and tender skin that is not stained with fat powder, and the two thin lips that are not dotted and Zhu, and my sister are simply carved out of the same mold. So harmonious, beautiful. It's like my sister standing in front of me.

It's just that it's not the same after all. The person in front of her was much heavier than her sister, and the arrogance that made her frown tightened. This person is definitely not the gentleness of his sister, but more like the bowl on the side of the Santu River, which has been mixed with strong resentment and ruthlessness that no one can resist in the hands of Meng Po for a long time.

"The queen is broken. The mourning family is just here to congratulate the queen. A faint smile appeared on Concubine Zhao's face. It stands to reason that she, the concubine, can only be barely at the same level as Concubine Wan and Concubine Chen, and now the queen still greets her like this, at least she recognizes her, not to ignore her. This will only be good and bad in the future.

"Niangniang, sit down, the concubines don't have anything to entertain here, please don't dislike this simple cup of tea." No matter how the woman of the former emperor is, she is theoretically taller than herself, and Murong Zhi does not hate this person. She didn't know what her purpose was, but intuitively, it wasn't a bad thing.

"What did the queen say?" Concubine Zhao chuckled and took the tea, the trace of warmth on the corner of her mouth made Murong Zhi's eyes tremble, there was really something wrong with this person.

Xu was embarrassed, and Concubine Zhao asked Murong Zhi some trivial things while drinking tea, such as what she liked, what her personality was, whether she felt a heavy burden, etc., although Murong Zhi felt strange, she also had to answer questions.

"Does the queen know the origin of the one in Chenlai Palace?" After drinking a cup of tea, Concubine Zhao finally remembered the topic. Murong Zhi sat on the side and quietly looked at the tea leaves stretched out in the cup, and after hearing this, she remembered what Yunshuang had popularized for her before, and then briefly summarized: "The queen mother's family, the emperor has an affair, the child has a miscarriage, and the infatuation is entangled." "A woman is willing to stay in this deep palace if she doesn't want any children, except for Qing Ruifan, she can't think of a better reason.

"The queen is smart. Since you know about this, you don't know if the queen remembers Song Ji Peiyao? As soon as Concubine Zhao's words came out, she saw that Murong Zhi's face had changed significantly, and the atmosphere around her body suddenly became sharp and shining, just like the ugly stone she saw after the truth was revealed, so sharp that it was enough to cut through everything and whitewash the peace, pretending to be peaceful.
