Zhang Jia Chuzhen took a small chariot from north to south, all the way to the direction of Qianqing Palace.

Along the way, the palace maids, eunuchs, and even the guards on duty who met her all greeted her respectfully and humbly.

"Minions, see Concubine Min." As soon as Zhao Zhendou, the chief eunuch of the imperial dining room, saw Zhang Jia Chuzhen and his party as soon as he went out, and immediately called a thousand and bowed down to say goodbye.

Zhang Jia Chuzhen glanced down at him and smiled slightly: "Father-in-law Zhao, get up." Why haven't you seen the wild pigeons that the palace asked you to cook in the imperial dining room yesterday? ”

Zhao Zhendou smiled and said: "Back to the mother's words, there was only one wild pigeon left yesterday, and the slave stewed the soup and sent it to Qixiang Palace according to the emperor's orders." ”

"Qixiang Palace?" Zhang Jia Chuzhen said unhappily: "In the end, Wang Changzai is more favored by the emperor, and everything that the palace wants has been sent to her." ”

Zhao Zhendou said embarrassedly: "Everyone in this palace knows that now Niangniang is the emperor's favorite, and good things should be sent to Chuxiu Palace first." It's just that the emperor personally ordered it yesterday, and the slave had to ......"

"Don't say such things to fool Hongu." Zhang Jia Chuzhen not only did not lose his anger when he heard his words, but added to the blockage, and said extremely angrily: "Who doesn't know that Concubine Yi is the emperor's heart, what she wants is that the emperor has rewarded others, you have to send it to Yikun Palace first, please her first, and then take inferior things to others." How can this palace afford the word 'most favored'? You didn't mean to humiliate this palace. ”

"The minions don't dare." Zhao Zhendou said in horror: "Niangniang is angry." Slaves are on the matter. In this palace, in terms of grace, it is naturally the first part of Concubine Yi's mother. But now, Niangniang, your grace is not necessarily less than that of Concubine Yi. Having said that, according to Niangniang's momentum, sooner or later, will you have to suppress Concubine Yi? It's also the minions who are not handling things well and annoying the mother. Rest assured, as long as it is ordered by Niangniang in the future, the slave will definitely satisfy Niangniang first. ”

Zhang Jia Chuzhen smiled disdainfully: "You do your own errand first and then come to compliment the palace, the palace is too lazy to talk to you anymore, let's go." ”

Seeing Zhang Jia Chuzhen gradually moving away, Zhao Zhendou slowly got up, spit on the ground with a black face, and said with hatred: "What kind of shelf, when you will be left out of the inner courtyard to know what bitterness is." ”

When I entered the Qianqing Palace, I saw Wei Yangji stepping forward with a smile: "Concubine Min is auspicious." ”

"Is the emperor busy?" Zhang Jia Chuzhen immediately asked with a smile on her face.

"The emperor ordered, I won't see anyone else this time, and the mother is unlucky." Wei Yangqi still smiled.

Zhang Jia Chuzhen asked Jiaojiao to offer the things in her hand, and then said: "In this way, the palace will not disturb the emperor, and ask Gonggong Wei to find an opportunity to give this thing to the emperor." This is the palace of Ama bothered to find back from Jiangnan, it is Wang Xizhi's word. ”

Wei Yangji took the things, only nodded silently, and did not reply.

Jiaojiao stuffed another bag of broken silver into him, and asked him to mention his master more in front of Xuan Ye.

Wei Yang took the silver and nodded with a smile.

Zhang Jia Chuzhen turned around and left with someone, but heard Wang Meiyu's voice coming from inside, her feet trembled, she turned back in a panic, and blurted out: "Wang Chang is inside?" ”

Wei Yangji nodded silently, but it was like a thorn in Zhang Jiachuzhen's heart.

Zhang Jia Chuzhen turned his head and left, venting his anger in all directions, and it was really uncomfortable to be stuffy in his heart.

Wei Yangji saw her go out of the Qianqing Gate, so he threw the scroll and the bag of silver at the door to the little eunuch at the door: "I'm rewarding you, this word is not in a hurry to be sent in first, and the emperor doesn't have the heart to give it today, so I'll send it another day." ”

The little eunuch held the scroll, looked at the bag of silver, and happily took the order.

Two days later, the concubines of the palace rushed to Yikun Palace to discuss matters, and on the way, Zhang Jia Chuzhen collided with Wang Meiyu again.

"Concubines see Min Concubine Niangniang, Niangniang Wanfu." Even though there are 10,000 dissatisfaction with Zhang Jiachuzhen in her heart, Wang Meiyu's face is still smiling like a spring breeze and her posture is elegant.

Zhang Jiachuzhen glanced at her and walked away without paying attention.

In the Yikun Palace, the four concubines sat on the top, looking calm, but each had their own thoughts.

"I heard in this palace that some people confused the harem and learned the singers outside, and their virtues were lost." It was Nala Yanhui who spoke, she couldn't see anyone playing foxes, and when she heard such rumors, she was naturally the first to make a difficulty.

Chunxi and Ma Jia Yiqing didn't speak, and Lan Xin only asked lightly: "Does Concubine Hui know who this person is?" ”

"Who else could it be? Now around the emperor, except for a few mothers, it is the king who promised the most holy favor. Chen Liyuan said without being salty.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone talked about it.

"I can't see it, in order to keep the emperor's favor, Wang Changzai actually learned the girl in the Chu Pavilion of Qinlou. It's really well-intentioned. Zhang Jia Chuzhen looked at Wang Meiyu, who was sitting diagonally opposite, with a look of disdain.

Wang Meiyu didn't defend herself, just looked at her expressionlessly.

"How can you trust vain words?" Lan Xin smiled instead, and relieved Wang Meiyu of the siege: "The emperor doesn't say anything, how can you and I accuse?" ”

"Concubine De, that's not what you said." Zhang Jia Chuzhen snorted lightly and retorted: "The emperor didn't say it because he was confused. It is a sin for us to let it go when we know we can't do it. ”

Lan Xin was speechless for a while, and couldn't find the words to fight back, but she smiled when she heard it: "Concubine Min has seen it with her own eyes?" ”

"Never." Zhang Jia Chuzhen's face changed, and her tone was a little more restrained.

"So, did Wang Changzai really do this?" Chun Xi set her eyes on Wang Meiyu, who had been silent.

Wang Meiyu saw that the eyes around her were on her, so she had to shake her head and say, "How dare the concubine?" The concubine came from a humble background, but she was also an educated woman in the boudoir since she was a child. I can't be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the female celebrity only understands it slightly, but those foxy methods are really nowhere to learn. If Concubine Min understands, the concubine is willing to learn from Niangniang, so as to please the emperor. ”

Zhang Jiachuzhen covered her mouth and smiled, and only said: "Clever tongue is like a spring, it's not you, why bother with that lip and tongue." ”

"It's about the innocence of the concubine, and the concubine naturally wants to say it." Wang Meiyu said again.

"Speaking of which, although this matter has nothing to do with Wang Changzai, then Wang Changzai has repeatedly recommended his Amma brother to the emperor." Zhang Jiachuzhen suddenly smiled and said: "But what about politics." ”

Wang Meiyu's face changed greatly, she hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "The concubine knows that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, how can she do this?" Please be discerning. ”

"Huh!" didn't wait for the fourth concubine to speak, and heard Zhang Jia Chuzhen's laughter again: "If you don't, how can your Ama and your brother be promoted again and again?" This palace has heard that you, Amma, have now entered the capital, and will soon be in charge of the ministry. In just a few years, how can you be able to know the county from a small six-product to a four-product in Beijing. And your brother and brother are now in office. Tell me, how could they be so valued by the emperor? ”

"How can the concubines know about the affairs of the court." Wang Meiyu blushed and explained: "Whoever the emperor values and who he hands over to do the errand is the emperor's own plan." Could it be that Min Concubine's Ama recently took up the position of assistant leader, also because of Min Concubine's kind words in front of the emperor? ”

"Hugh is talking nonsense." Zhang Jiachuzhen's face changed when she heard this, and she scolded angrily: "Are you the same as you in this palace?" ”

"That's enough." Lan Xin didn't want to see the two of them arguing anymore, so she stopped in time: "What kind of system are you arguing about? The emperor has his own opinions on the affairs of the court, so why do you need to say more? Let's go back to each other if we have nothing to do. ”

Zhang Jia Chuzhen immediately got up and only said: "The concubine retires." He walked out of Yikun Palace without looking back.

"What are you doing with such impatience?" Not far from Yikun Palace, Zhang Jia Chuzhen heard Ma Jia Yiqing's voice. She turned around and saw Ma Jia Yiqing sitting on the chariot, looking at her condescendingly.

"Concubine Rong is auspicious." Zhang Jia Chuzhen immediately asked An Dao.

"Although you are favored by the emperor now, you should also be cautious in everything and don't act recklessly. You are angry in your heart, just vent your anger in private. Ma Jia Yiqing reminded: "After all, Wang Changzai is the person favored by the emperor now, not an abandoned concubine who is left in the corner of the palace." Whatever the emperor promised her and rewarded her, she deserved it. If you are so impulsive and reckless, you will suffer sooner or later. ”

Zhang Jia Chuzhen suddenly smiled, and smiled disdainfully at Ma Jia Yiqing: "Whoever Niangniang wants to deal with, the concubine can help." But there are always some unsatisfactory things, I really don't want to. The Yu family is dead, and the crown princess does not allow the concubine to approach. What the mother wants the concubine to do, the concubine is benevolent and righteous. It can also be regarded as a change of the grace of the original mother. As for the matter of concubines and Wang Chang's presence, I don't bother with the mother. ”

Ma Jia Yiqing was surprised and said: "This palace is kind to persuade you, but you are so unappreciative." ”

"Niangniang, what have the concubines gained over the years that they have followed you, in addition to being promoted from nobles to concubines? Niangniang's own grace has long been gone, if it weren't for the sake of the third elder brother, the emperor might not be able to go to Zhongcui Palace a few times a year. It is the concubine's own ability to be favored by the concubine, and it has nothing to do with the mother. Zhang Jia Chuzhen said fearlessly: "Niangniang is timid in doing things, do you want the concubine to do the same?" Niangniang is now just watching me win the emperor's favor, so gentle to me, if I give birth to a son for the emperor as Na Chen promised, there will be no grace. Will the mother still chase after her? Talk to me like that? ”

"You ......" Ma Jia Yiqing couldn't have imagined that her mind had already been seen through by Zhang Jia Chuzhen.

Zhang Jia Chuzhen smiled again and said, "At the beginning, Wang Tianru asked me to take refuge in you, but she just wanted to use me to achieve her goal. I was also moved by her words at the time, so I joined you. If it weren't for helping you, why would I want to be close to the Yu family? If I hadn't found out in time that there was something wrong with the things that Yu gave me and stepped on Yu in advance, I would have been in the cold palace a long time ago. The concubine's income is the concubine's own efforts, and it has nothing to do with the mother. In this way, the concubine also explained it to her mother today. In the future, the bridge will return to the bridge and the road will return, and you and I will have nothing to do with it. Niangniang should stop pointing fingers at me, and I don't want to conspire with Niangniang anymore. ”

"Wang Meiyu is just a mosquito, I am embarrassed by her, and I don't want to do it." Zhang Jia Chuzhen left arrogantly, leaving a stunned Ma Jia Yiqing.

Ma Jia Yiqing has always disliked Zhang Jia Chuzhen's temperament, but only today did she realize that she had mistaken this woman in the past.
