It turned out that this little eunuch was called Xiao Hezi. Wu Zhe glanced at the eunuch who was leading the way, and felt that the name sounded like a small box, a small table or something.

Before Concubine Zhuang came over, Xiao Hezi was already standing on the side of the road and waiting respectfully, listening to her question, she hurriedly bowed down again and replied more deeply: "Back to Concubine Zhuang, the slave is the one who leads the way out of the palace for Miss Zhou Zhiruo." ”

Wu Zhe had read some spy reports and knew that Concubine Zhuang was the last of the four concubines. Concubine Chen, Guifei, Concubine Shu, and Concubine Duan are the four major concubines of the Xuanwu Palace. The rank is only below the queen, and there is no queen in the palace at present, and the status of these four concubines is already very big.

Among them, Concubine Chen's title has been empty for many years, and not long ago it was given to Princess Qing's mother who was far away in Chenjiazhuang, which also caused a lot of waves in the harem and even the government and the opposition. But Emperor Xuanwu was so prestigious, no one dared to jump out and say nothing. It's just that Concubine Zhuang and other women can't help but feel sour in their hearts, and they have accompanied Emperor Xuanwu for many years, but they were robbed of the high title of the concubine by a woman who suddenly appeared in the rivers and lakes.

However, the woman who can become a concubine is not given for nothing, and Concubine Zhuang naturally will not vent her dissatisfaction with Concubine Chen on Princess Qing. After patiently and meticulously observing Emperor Xuanwu's attitude towards Princess Qing, she did not hesitate to choose to befriend her.

Concubine Zhuang is a smart person. She knew that she couldn't keep the Xuanwu Emperor alone. Properly co-opting allies is beneficial to maintaining one's own status. Especially in front of Emperor Xuanwu, there is no need to offend the red princess because of temporary likes and dislikes.

This morning, Concubine Zhuang heard the latest news from her little eunuch, Emperor Xuanwu's condition has not changed, and Princess Qing is actually sick in bed. I heard that it was infected with the wind and cold, and I didn't go out of Changqing Palace yesterday.

Concubine Zhuang is planning to visit Changqing Palace and comfort Princess Qing who is sick. Of course, this kind of visit is not the true affection that Princess Qing wants, but a consideration for interests.

"You're Zhou Zhiruo? Miss Zhou. Concubine Zhuang listened to the words of the little eunuch, looked Wu Zhe up and down again, happily grabbed a few steps, took Wu Zhe's hand and said: "I have been friends with Miss Zhou for a long time, and I didn't expect to see you here today, it is really a fate sent by God." ”

Concubine Zhuang's face became a quick scream. Before, he was full of solemnity as his name suggests. has the aura of a queen. Especially for the little eunuch's reply, he didn't even raise his eyelids.

But now that she saw Wu Zhe, her eyes, which had been looking low, suddenly widened as if she had seen beautiful jade, full of joy.

"I've seen Concubine Zhuang. Wu Zhe pretended to be puzzled after giving the salute, and said with a stupid face: "Do you know me? Have we met? It's strange, a stunning and beautiful woman like Concubine Zhuang should be unforgettable at a glance." ”

If this kind of words came from the mouth of a man who was not Emperor Xuanwu, he could be convicted of molesting the imperial concubine for killing her head and stealing her family. But when Wu Zhe said it, it made people extremely happy.

The moment Concubine Zhuang saw Wu Zhe. secretly comparing the looks of the two, I feel that I am still a little inferior to each other. Not to mention being young and immature, that kind of innate beauty alone is beyond the reach of others. Now when I hear a beautiful woman like the other party praise herself, although I know that there is no lack of polite and flattering elements, I am also more happy than ordinary people who praise the good words a few times.

"Oh, I can be praised by Miss Zhou for her beauty, I'm afraid I'm so happy that I can't sleep at night. Concubine Zhuang chuckled lightly, and pulled Wu Zhe affectionately: "Although we haven't seen each other." But the name Zhou Zhiruo has already spread. Don't blame me for being idle on weekdays and asking about some things, mainly Miss Zhou, all your actions are for us women to have a long face. ”

"It seems that there are a lot of rumors about my nonsense. Wu Zhe was polite verbally. In fact, how many of the rumors spread outside are superficial articles? If you can know what Prince Mo's think tank has done, it will only be analyzed if the insiders are concerned.

"Miss Zhou is polite. Concubine Zhuang smiled and pulled Wu Zhe in another direction: "My Zhuang Ning Palace is not far from over there, let's go sit and talk." ”

Concubine Zhuang waved her hand at the eunuch who called Xiao Hezi, and bowed away.

Wu Zhe didn't think about it much, and he was very curious about the residence of the harem concubine, so he followed.

The palace maids and eunuchs who followed Concubine Zhuang also followed with their heads down. They weren't as relaxed as Princess Qing's attendants. didn't even dare to look up at Wu Zhe, it can be seen that Concubine Zhuang is very strict in discipline on weekdays.

Anyway, the other party is a beauty, Wu Zhe pondered, there is no man in the palace, can he still eat himself?

If it is true, this Concubine Zhuang is passionate. If you want to push me back, should I accept it? Accept it? Or accept it? Anyway, I don't know who will suffer, and it's not bad to give Xuanwu Emperor a green hat.

It's just that we don't want to participate in any palace fights, and it's good to simply play with the lonely harem concubines.

Wu Zhe thought that this concubine must be a wife, but she looks very beautiful, so she can't insert a leg. Emperor Xuanwu's harem has many beauties, and if you lack love, you don't mind let's take care of it.

Wu Zhe thought about the so-called great plan to toss the Xuanwu Empress Palace, and he had already arrived at the gate of Zhuangning Palace.

The outer pavilion of Zhuang Ning Palace is the standard court color, but the interior decoration is mainly pink. Although it is not as rich as the bright yellow decoration of Princess Qing's Changqing Palace, it also has its own style.

"Miss Zhou is sitting here. Concubine Zhuang pulled Wu Zhe to sit in the outer room of her bedroom.

She didn't take Wu Zhe to sit in the guest hall, but in her own bedroom, obviously intersecting the other party as best friends.

A maid served fragrant tea, and Wu Zhe gently lifted the lid of the teacup, and smelled a fragrance of flowers.

"Frost falling chrysanthemums?" Wu Zhe sighed softly.

"Oh, Miss Zhou is really knowledgeable. Concubine Zhuang smiled: "It is indeed the last evening chrysanthemum when the frost falls, and it is dried in a simmering copper furnace together with the frost, and then absorbs the yang energy of three days under the sun in late autumn and winter, it becomes the best frost chrysanthemum tea." ”

Wu Zhe said: "Frost chrysanthemum tea is only available in the mountains of the southern Jin Kingdom. I've read it in a book for a long time, but I haven't drunk it, but today I have a mouthful. ”

She took a sip, and the evolutionary body immediately began to analyze various components, confirming that it was really good, and said, "There are also mint and bitter gourd leaves added to it?"

"Oh, Miss Zhou is a tea taster. Concubine Zhuang was really surprised: "I can taste the three flavors in just one, and I admire it very much." ”

Concubine Zhuang calls herself "Bengong" in front of others. But in Wu Zhe's dialogue, he never called himself "Bengong", but said "I", of course, to get closer to Wu Zhe.

"The recipe for this tea, but Concubine Zhuang, you researched it yourself?"

"No, I'm naturally hot. I looked through some books and felt that it was quite appropriate to match these three flavors together, and it tasted good. In the past, when the spring and autumn fire season came, it was always easy to emit fire marks between the noses, but after drinking this tea, there was no such trouble. ”

Wu Zhe said in his heart, how angry are you, and you actually put the three flavors of the fire together as tea. And the bitter gourd leaves still have a certain contraceptive effect, and I don't know if she has children. quietly looked at Concubine Zhuang's figure and confirmed that her chest was straight and not sagging, and her waist and abdomen were also smooth and tight, and ninety percent of them had never given birth.

As for the cold of this tea, it is estimated that the doctor does not dare to say more. After all, it was Concubine Zhuang's own recipe, and others didn't dare to mention it for fear of offending people.

Fortunately, it was her own tea, otherwise she would have suspected that Concubine Zhuang had been tricked and deliberately did not let her get pregnant. At this age, it is estimated that Emperor Xuanwu's favor is very small, and her desire is very ...... Mmmm, Concubine Zhuang, go to the fire yourself......

The two chatted a lot of things, from tea to snacks, and from pen and ink to calligraphy and painting, Wu Zhe understood everything.

Concubine Zhuang secretly praised, no wonder Zhou Zhi can become Prince Mo's brains, he is indeed a capable person. She often boasts of being a talented woman, and she is not only involved in many fields, but also intensively studied, but in front of Zhou Zhiruo, she realized that she was shallow.

However, Concubine Zhuang was not jealous of Wu Zhe, but felt that they were very happy to talk. At first, she chatted with Wu Zhe with all her thoughts, but when she was talking, she felt more and more interesting, and felt that this girl was looking at the eyes and listening to the happy chat...... cough, her hands are so smooth and soft to the touch, Concubine Zhuang feels that her skin is going to be ashamed of herself in front of her.

If I had such a talent as her, I am afraid that Emperor Xuanwu would not come only once a year and a half. Concubine Zhuang secretly complained in her heart that Long Grace was not prosperous. After the frost fell last year, Emperor Xuanwu never came here again, and Concubine Zhuang had long fallen into a lonely and lonely state. Therefore, every day, I drank cup after cup of frost chrysanthemum tea, and the effect of removing the fire was great.

The two gradually mentioned beauty again, and Concubine Zhuang said: "I heard that Xiao Ruoyao of Qi opened a long-hatred pavilion, which is said to be dedicated to women's beauty, well, to make the appearance beautiful, this word is really appropriate." It is said that only three people are auctioned every day, and the business is booming. If I had the chance, I'd love to give it a try. ”

Wu Zhe said in his heart that I opened it, but it's not good to do a set of services for you. But thinking of this, Wu Zhe's heart moved: I joined forces with the Qin Hall Lord to treat heart deficiency before, and thought of a way to repair and activate people's skin, can it be beautiful?

"Concubine Zhuang, I like to do some tricks. I just have a beauty idea these days, I wonder if you can cooperate?"

Concubine Qi said: "Ideas, cooperation, come and listen, sister, you have something to ask for, and you have nothing to do." ”

The titles of her and Wu Zhe have changed from Miss Zhou to sisters and sisters.

Of course, she was also funny in her heart, in case Prince Mo included Zhou Zhiruo in the room, I was afraid that this title would inevitably be changed. (To be continued......)
