Qi Min'er is the master after all, and Aunt Zhao has to obey her will, so she doesn't pay too much attention to Qi Min'er's words.

Aunt Zhao was originally serving by Li Shanggong's side, it can be said that Li Shanggong was trained by Li Shanggong, she originally had a good future, and she was a female official in the Shanggong Bureau, but she was sent to the Huanyi Bureau to serve, although she was also an aunt in charge, but it was much less oil and water than other bureaus.

At that time, many people sneered at her, feeling that she had lost Li Shanggong's attention, and even wanted to step on them one by one, but Aunt Zhao still accepted it very indifferently, she was able to enter the palace and get the position of the palace maid in the eyes of others, all because she was supported by Li Shanggong, and if the other party had any instructions, she should do it herself, instead of prevaricating.

Including serving by Qi Min'er's side this time, from the head of a deserted Huanyi Bureau to the aunt in charge of the concubine, the speed of promotion can be said to be sideways by many people, but Aunt Zhao did not feel how she was because of this, but went to consult Li Shanggong very respectfully and asked the other party's opinion.

After all, Li Shanggong has been operating in the palace for many years, and has risen from a small palace maid to such a position, and her experience and experience are not comparable to her as a small master.

"Since you are valued by Concubine Xian, go to her and serve her for a long time, remember to forget that you were once the person I promoted, forget those pasts, and from now on you will be a loyal servant of Concubine Xian.

There is a way that one slave does not serve the two masters, only if you are loyal enough can you maintain your current status, and I look at the honor of the virtuous concubine, I am afraid that the position will be promoted in the future, you must be vigilant."

In addition to these words, Li Shanggong also specially told her how to serve, and told her that now that Concubine Xian is favored, she can be said to be the first person in the harem, so there must be many people who are jealous and envious, and what she has to do is to guard the palace gate of the Yufu palace maid.

She has to serve the virtuous concubine well, worry about the reason why the lord is worried, read what the master thinks, and in addition, she must not think too much, let alone collude with outsiders.

Aunt Zhao responded to everything when she heard this, and at this time, there was only Qi Min'er in her eyes, the other party was the virtuous concubine in this harem, and she was also her master, only if the master of the Yufu Palace was favored and the position was high enough, the people they served could be decent.

So, Aunt Zhao didn't continue to make her own opinions, the first thing to do as a slave is to serve the master well and act according to the master's wishes, rather than making decisions on her own, so Aunt Zhao simply changed the topic, she took off the hairpin ring jewelry on Qi Min'er's head, and slowly asked:

"Then what's the master's plan next? If there is anything else that needs to be arranged, the slave and maid will go down and start preparing."

Listened. Aunt Zhao's words, Qi Min'er looked at herself in the mirror, Qi Min'er had always known that her appearance was only suitable for taking the gentle and gentle route, compared to the colorful and gorgeous, her appearance was actually more gentle and beautiful.

Such a look is easy for people to let down their guard, believing that she is a gentle and amiable person, and Qi Min'er in the past was indeed like this.

She will treat everyone gently, whether it is a lady or a maid, and does not discriminate because of the identity or status of the other party, she thinks that her sincerity can be exchanged for the sincerity of the other party, but in the end it turns out that she is wrong.

At the beginning, she was sought after by everyone when she was in a high position, but once she lost her identity as a noble daughter of the Marquis of Mingyuan, everyone couldn't avoid her.

She didn't have anything to blame for this, after all, it was instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, but she didn't know why those people came to humiliate her?

Obviously, they were so good before, and she helped them a lot, but those people kept saying that they hated her, resented her, and said that everything she did was just fake kindness, and she really didn't understand why they were like this.

But in the Huanyi Bureau, she finally understood that the behavior of these people is just six words, hating people and laughing at people, what she gave before was charity in their eyes, so they accepted it while scolding angrily in their hearts, even so, she simply took back the interest this time.

Those who failed her, who bullied her, who betrayed her, she remembered their names, she

Their identities, their behavior, step by step, slowly. Z.br>

In addition, if you want to stand firm in this harem, it is far from enough to rely on this so-called favor.

The so-called red face snaps his fingers to the old, the so-called red face is not old and breaks first, reclining and sitting in the smoke cage until Ming, and raising it by Queen Qi's side for many years, Qi Min'er has seen too many of these examples, not to mention that the new emperor loves her now, gives her a high position, and gives her the right to associate the six palaces.

But this love also has a price, and it was because she loved the other party that she was angry and beat her into the Huanyi game, so she can rely on this so-called like to get what she wants, but she can't trust it completely, and even completely attach herself like a silk grass.

"How?"

Qi Min'er brushed away Aunt Zhao's hands and wanted to hold her, walked straight to the window, and looked at the green grass outside, what should I do? She is trapped in the deep palace, and no matter what she does, she will inevitably be constrained, so she must have her own henchmen outside the palace.

But now she is no longer the noble daughter of the Qi family, nor is she the daughter of the Marquis of Mingyuan's Mansion, the power of the Marquis of Mingyuan Mansion in Beijing has been cut off one by one, and she can only re-cultivate if she wants to rely on it now, but who is the one who can be completely trusted?

After thinking for a while, Qi Min'er turned around and took out a box of silver tickets from the dresser, handed it to Aunt Zhao, and instructed her:

"You take this silver ticket and go outside the palace to look for Wu Shizi, I will write a letter to you in a while, remember not to pass through anyone's hands, you must hand it over to him yourself, and then immediately wait for his reply, remember to avoid everyone's eyes and ears along the way, and not be noticed.

In addition, you ask Wu Shizi to inquire, this time the Marquis of Mingyuan's mansion was demoted, who are the people who plead in the court? Who are the defectors? Keep a list for me, I'll be useful."

"Yes, the slave will go down and make arrangements, don't worry."

Waiting for her to finish writing the letter, Aunt Zhao hurriedly left with the silver ticket and letters, and Qi Min'er called the little palace maid into the hall again, took her hand, and went to the small kitchen from the Yufu Palace.

She is now a concubine who belongs to Yipin, and the Yufu Palace where she lives is naturally very luxurious, the palace has its own small kitchen, and the people in the imperial dining room see that she is favored, so they naturally try their best to please and stammer, and what fresh vegetables and precious dishes are sent to her.

Qi Min'er sent out all the people who were serving in the small kitchen, and then began to wash her hands and make soup, the new emperor will definitely come to see her again today, thinking that in the past, when he went to other people's palaces, he saw exquisite dishes, but today she had to do the opposite, leaving him with some different impressions.

Qi Min'er looked at the vegetables that were sent, she only planned to cook some home-cooked side dishes today, after all, how could she be as good as a chef compared to her craftsmanship? She picked eggs, greens and shallots, and Qi Min'er planned to make the most everyday food called Hu spicy soup.

This is a meal she cooked when she was a beginner, and it was specially made for that person, which is a little secret between the two.

Since she has decided to hold this person's hand tightly, she naturally has to grasp his heart first, what can touch people's hearts more than in the past?

Now that he is in a high position, he is favored and sought after by everyone, but when he was still an unfavored prince, only she would consider him, and not treat him poorly because of his identity, and even helped him many times, so the two had a childhood friendship.

Qi Min'er couldn't forget these things, and the new emperor naturally couldn't forget either, so he hurriedly came to see Qi Min'er after he got down to the court, and as soon as he entered the Yufu Palace, he smelled a shallow fragrance.

The fragrance is somewhat familiar, and sometimes every time he dreams, he always remembers the scene at that time, he was ridiculed by everyone, looked down upon by everyone, and this smell seemed to be a little sweet during that time.

The new emperor walked straight to the Yufu Palace, and ordered all the palace people not to report, but before he could reach the inner hall of the Yufu Palace, he saw Qi Min'er only wearing a plain skirt, without any hairpin ring jewelry, she was holding a bowl of spicy soup in both hands, and was smiling gently at him.

Suddenly the new emperor only remembered the word gentle, which was a promise between the two of them when he and qi min'er first fell in love, to be a pair of rich and noble idlers, to

Later, he went to travel to the beautiful landscapes, went to a small courtyard in the bamboo forest, Qi Min'er washed his hands and made soup for him, and he danced swords or practiced calligraphy.

Qi Min'er stroked the piano, danced, and sang, and the two were free and free, no longer bound by the palace walls.

That was when he was not tired, and he always followed Qi Min'er's imagination, but now those years that accompanied him before seemed to be far away from him, and he didn't dare to think about it, but at this moment, he suddenly remembered it all.

"Min'er ......"

Xindi hurriedly stepped forward, he looked at Qi Min'er's daily dress, and his eyes flashed with affection that he had not even noticed.

Qi Min'er took the initiative to hold his hand, but behind the new emperor's unnoticed gaze, she slightly hooked her lips, and a trace of mockery flashed in her eyes, how could she have half affection.

Qi Min'er said in her heart: "It seems that what Concubine Rou said is very reasonable, she won the favor of the first emperor with this hand, and rose from a sixth-grade Baolin to the first-grade position, and now because she has a past friendship, it is more convenient to use this means.

It's just that this calculated love, sometimes thinking about it, it is inevitable to be a little lost, the deep friendship at the beginning, but now it is calculated and measured step by step, how much is this so-called relationship true and how much false?"

At this time, Concubine Rou, who was remembered by Qi Min'er, was called to Master Qi's study with Qi Zhenzhen, they originally thought that Master Qi had something to order, but when they entered, they saw that everyone was there.

It was still Mrs. Li who sat at the top, and Master Qi sat quietly beside him, occasionally showing a little sorrow on his face.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, it was Mrs. Li who took the lead in breaking the peace, and he said to everyone:

"I just received the news that the second lady of the Qi Mansion in the palace has been favored by His Majesty and has been canonized as a virtuous concubine."
