"Xiao Qi, don't be rude!"

Hui Chang frowned.

"Since Niangniang is familiar with the world and is willing to be open and honest with the slave maid, then, the slave and maid have the courage to ask Niangniang, whether Niangniang has long forgotten that she is also a Hunan person, is it, because of the glory and wealth in this palace, she has long wanted to get rid of this identity. Therefore, in order to stabilize his position in the palace, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his compatriots, that is, he was violated by the guards and died, and one or two female slaves died, and the mother didn't care. ”

The misery in the Fengtian Pavilion slave house made Xiao Qi angry.

Obviously, Mei Ji has lived transparently, and she knows everything in the palace clearly.

However, she let it go and let the transaction between Huichang and the guards go, in fact, it was just to use her slave status to buy off the guards and ensure her status.

Just for the convenience of travel, more than a dozen female slaves can be pushed into the abyss, Xiao Qi can't imagine that the Mei Ji in front of him seems to be weak, and what kind of terrible demon is hidden in his heart.

"Xiao Qi, don't forget your own identity, a slave, how can you be rude in front of your mother. ”

"It's okay auntie, you let her continue. ”

"I am not related to Su Lian by blood, but she saved my life and protected me well, so I treat her as my own sister. Everyone says that Niangniang is a Hunan person, but for Niangniang, the life of this Hunan person has long been a thing of the past. Niangniang is now the master of the palace, how can she be compared with Hunan slaves such as us. With Niangniang's mind and strategy, there is still a long way to go in the future, and there is really no need to sacrifice slavery to protect oneself. ”

Xiao Qi took a deep breath and said, "In this palace, what Niangniang lacks most is people's hearts. The people's desire can get twice the result with half the effort, but if even the hearts of the people are lost, then even if the mother goes to a high position with her own strength, what can she do, you must know that you will climb high and fall heavy, no one will support you behind the mother, and when the time comes, it is bound to be crushed. ”

Xiao Qi's tone was tough, without the slightest fear of a slave. Mei Ji restrained her smile and looked at Xiao Qi seriously, as if she was speculating on what she had just said.

"I don't know if Niangniang already knows that Fengtian Pavilion has always been the desire of the slaves, and the position of the slaves of Fengtian Pavilion is the highest to count two taels of silver. Even on the side of Kunling Hall and the Queen Mother, there is no such price. Just because Niangniang is a Hunan person, in the hearts of the slaves, Niangniang will definitely go to them, so even if she wants to borrow from the internal supervisor of the steward, she must find ways to serve Niangniang. But is this really the case, on Niangniang's side, there will be no worries about her life, but is she really alive? Niangniang should have known for a long time how the dozen or so female slaves in the slave house lived. ”

Hui Chang frowned: "Mother's daughter's body, how can you always pay attention to how to live as a slave." Xiao Qi, in the end, it is Mama Chunyu who spoils you too much, so that you don't understand the rules so much. I'm going to tell your grandma when I go back, and let her discipline you so well!"

However, Mei Ji's focus was: "Silver, what's the matter, do you still need to pay a bribe when you come to serve in my Fengtian Pavilion?" ”

The appointment of the palace people and the slaves, within the scope of the authority of the palace, Mei Ji looked at Hui Chang, Hui Chang lowered her head, her eyes fluttered, and she knew at a glance that the money had gone into her money bag.

However, Mei Ji is not such an unreasonable person, just a little extra income, and she doesn't care about it.

She also knew that the female slaves of Fengtian Pavilion had become the playthings of the guards, and Chun Yumin had already informed her from the day she entered Fengtian Pavilion to serve.

She ignored it.

What could she do?

The guards are the guards of Da Chu, they have official status, and they can't offend any of them.

She is not as good as the other good concubines in the palace, she is a young lady from an official family, and she has the official body of her mother's family, and the guards respect her from the bottom of their hearts.

She is in the palace, she is a duckweed, which may be blown into the corner at any time and fend for herself. In order to stabilize her position and make less trouble for herself, she had the heart to reprimand but did not dare to act. Otherwise, arrogance and arrogance will make her life in the palace even more difficult for any crime.

For the sake of irrelevant people, she really can't do it.

"Niangniang, if you die a wishful death, can't you ring the alarm bell for Niangniang. Ruyi's death is also the incompetence of the mother. If it is a big fuss, it is that the mother is not tightly restrained, and it is still an endless accusation. Dying a slave cannot stabilize the status of the mother, but if the mother can get the support of the slaves, it can indeed bring countless benefits to the mother. ”

Hui Chang continued to scold Xiao Qi, but was stopped by Mei Ji.

Mei Ji raised her eyebrows lightly: "Go on." ”

"Slaves are the most inconspicuous of the people in the royal palace, but they are also an indispensable group. For the slaves of each palace, the good concubine can get more than ten of them, and the queen's palace is as many as forty to fifty. This is not counting the rough envoys and slaves in various Shang palace bureaus and various places in the palace, which are large in number and widely dispersed. If these people can turn their hearts to Niangniang and take Niangniang's words as their own responsibility, then Niangniang's journey in the palace in the future will be much smoother. ”

"Entangled with the Hunan people, that's a capital crime! Yun Ge, you want to kill your mother!"

"Why bother, as long as you look at Niangniang from the bottom of your heart, this is enough. Let them know that at the critical moment, only Niangniang is to protect them, and only by protecting Niangniang can they survive. It is human nature to survive, and in order to survive, they will be loyal to their mothers. With so many eyes and ears, Niangniang is still worried about the harm caused by others? Even if others have bad intentions, Niangniang can know it at the first time, and she is a little more relieved. ”

Mei Ji slowly turned around, looked at the scenery in front of her, and thought for a while.

It can be seen that Xiao Qi's suggestion made her heart moved.

What she lacks the most is a helper, Huichang is certainly the most powerful person around her, but in the end, they are still separated by a layer of relationship, and she can't guarantee how long this scheming aunt can serve her.

However, slavery is different.

Their identities and lives determine that she doesn't need any means to get their allegiance.

This deal, how to look at how cost-effective.

"The slave knows that the mother has many concerns. In fact, slaves and maids are just pitiful slaves and don't want us to be precarious. The slave is in the middle of the cracks, and she can't let her sister Su Lian live in fear anymore. Being able to enter the palace as a slave, the slave maid feels lucky, if she can find a way out for Su Lian again, then the slave and maid will die without regrets. ”

Xiao Qi was behind Mei Ji and slowly knelt down: "The slave maid asks Mei Ji Niangniang to protect all slaves. ”

"Why are you on your knees again, get up quickly. ”

Mei Ji was moved.

Xiao Qi looked at her and said with a firm gaze: "The slave knows that if you want to complete this plan, only one person in the palace can do it." ”

"Who. Mei Ji crouched down to help her up.

"Pure Mama. ”
