Chapter 264: Looking for My Sister (13)
Ning Yunyao worked hard in the cold palace, and even did not hesitate to test the poison herself. Suo Qingwu was not idle, she had to find a way to help Ning Yunyao get the first chance to sleep.
This is a very complex event with a great element of luck involved. Take herself as an example, if she wants to get the opportunity to sleep, she first needs to leave a deep impression on the emperor.
At the time of the palace selection, she won as the best. At that time, the emperor attached great importance to her, and arranged a separate residence for her.
Therefore, the emperor's first impression of the show girl is very important, if you don't see it much at first sight, it will become like yellow embroidery, and it will be forgotten before it blooms.
Regarding this point, Ning Yunyao still passed.
Although she is not a woman with a particularly outstanding appearance, she has also successfully impressed Emperor Zhao with her little magic skills during the palace selection. So Emperor Zhao should have appreciated her wit and fun.
Then the second step is to choose a team, Suo Qingwu directly chose to take refuge under the queen, which also saved her a lot of trouble.
It is estimated that Ning Yunyao also planned this in her heart, but there is no chance for the time being. That's why I came up with this trick, and I used Suo Qingwu's power to climb up one level first.
"She's really smart." Even Suo Qingwu herself had to admit that Ning Yunyao was very powerful.
The last step is to bribe Father-in-law Xu.
Gonggong Xu is a great eunuch who specializes in managing the affairs of the bedchamber.
If you want the emperor to see your brand, you have to pass the level of Gonggong Xu first.
Although once the show girl is selected, she is theoretically qualified to sleep. It's just that the number of concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards is huge, and if everyone's signs are piled up in one place, a hill can be stacked. So every time you put someone's brand for the emperor to choose, this is all exquisite. In addition to the queen mother, who will make appropriate adjustments according to the number of times each concubine sleeps, another person who can do his hands and feet is Gonggong Xu. According to the emperor's mood and preferences, the Xu Gong Guild will appropriately adjust the probability of the concubines appearing.
Suo Qingwu bought off Gonggong Xu, so her brand was made in advance and presented in front of the emperor.
"Could it be that I have to spend silver to buy Grandpa Xu for Du Yunyao?" Suo Qingwu lowered his head in contemplation.
It's not that she's not afraid of spending money, after all, she was born in Zhongtang Mansion, and her family is not short of money. She just didn't want to help Du Yunyao do this, just with Du Yunyao's careful thoughts, once she climbed onto the emperor's dragon bed, would she still have it?
But what about the deal between her and Du Yunyao?
If Du Yunyao really did it, then she had to fulfill her promise.
Otherwise, Du Yunyao would not let her go.
"This seems to be a bit of a trick to do." The more Suo Qingwu thought about it, the more clueless she became, so she could only sit on the embroidery bench and sigh.
Bi likes to come back from the outside happily, carrying half an old hen in her hand.
"Master, what do you think this is?"
A fishy smell of raw meat rushed into Suo Qingwu's nasal cavity, and she immediately covered her nose with a handkerchief.
"Where did you get half a chicken? Take it out, take it out, I can't smell it. ”
"There's nothing strange about it." Bixi put her nose on the plucked and disemboweled chicken, and sniffed it vigorously. Hehe, the master is too squeamish, it's obviously nothing.
Suo Qingwu's head was big when she saw Bixi, "Take it out, take it out." ”
"Okay, I'll take it out. I'll give you chicken soup right now, stewed with the mushrooms sent by Du Xiunu, it will definitely be delicious. ”
The mushrooms sent by Du Xiunu? Suo Qingwu frowned, she didn't like to hear the name.
"Don't stew, I won't eat it."
"Huh? Don't you eat it? But ......"
"No, but, if I say I don't eat, I won't eat."
Suo Qingwu pointed to Bixi's forehead and scolded: "I don't know if these mushrooms are poisonous or not, you know how to eat them." What should I do if I get poisoned? Didn't you hear your father talk about it when you were in Suofu? When my father went to Yunnan to inspect before, a large number of poisoning was caused by the soldiers who accidentally ate mushrooms, and finally my father was punished by the emperor for this incident. ”
"Oh, the slave knows." Bixi's joy was extinguished by Suo Qingwu's basin of cold water, and she could only leave with her mouth puffed and the chicken in her mouth. He muttered, "It's a pity, I thought it would be delicious to use these mushrooms in chicken soup." However, today's father-in-law in the imperial dining room said that Du Xiunu also bought a chicken and left, I don't know if it was for simmering chicken soup......"
Suo Qingwu: "Bixi, what did you say?" Du Xiunu also bought a chicken? ”
Bixi nodded: "Yes." Picked the fattest one. ”
Suo Qingwu's brows tightened even tighter, this woman is really a man of action.
Want to poison a chicken? It's too fast.
A sense of oppression instantly hit her, and there seemed to be an invisible competition between her and Du Yunyao.
She must help her get a chance to sleep as soon as possible, or else she will have to find a way to destroy her and let her do herself a great favor for nothing.
"No, I can't seem to finish this matter alone, I have to find Concubine Xiao." Suo Qingwu slapped the table and got up, tidied up his demeanor a little, and turned out the door.
Bixi chased after him with half a chicken in his hand, and asked Suo Qingwu, "Little master, where are you going?" I'll stay with you when I'm done with this chicken. ”
Suo Qingwu swept her the same, "Who said I wanted you to accompany me?" Aren't there two little palace maids in my room? What about Gui Yun and Gui Xia? ”
Bixi: "I'm sick, lying in bed." ”
Suo Qingwu: "Sick? When did I get sick and how did I not know? ”
Bixi: "I was just sick when I came back, and I'm telling you about it step by step." ”
Suo Qingwu was depressed, what happened to these little palace maids one by one? I get sick at every turn, and everyone learns to be lazy under the pretext of being sick, right? I'm really angry, I'll clean you up one by one when I'm done dealing with Du Yunyao's matter.
"Alright, I got it. I'll go to Concubine Xiao's and I'll be back later. You don't have to follow me, take this half-chicken and give it away, I don't want to see it again. ”
"Oh, then just send it to me, I'll braise it and eat it right away."
Suo Qingwu rolled up a string of white eyes and waved his hand. "Whatever, whatever, don't hold it in front of my eyes. In addition, I want to eat lightly tonight, so you can go to the imperial dining room and tell your father-in-law to add a steamed sea bass for me. This is silver, take it. ”
Bixi took the silver and nodded with a smile, "Okay, the slave knows." ”
