"Concubine Shuniang, you must think of a way to punish Concubine Yin, she is now less and less interested in you!" Wei Chang said angrily to Du Qinyue, who was sitting on the other side, in his tone.

When Du Qinyue heard this, she didn't see any expression on her face, but picked up the tea in front of her and took a sip gently.

Wei Changzai was a little anxious, and he didn't think carefully about what he said, so he said directly: "Concubine Shuniang, if you are messed with by Concubine Yin at this time, the consequences in the future are unimaginable, according to the concubine, she is already from the queen's side." ”

Hearing this, Du Qinyue was a little moved, and asked, "Is there any basis for what you said?" ”

"When the concubine met her in the Imperial Garden, didn't she just come out of the direction of Fengyi Palace, what else is there to guess?" Wei Changzai told the story of what he had experienced in the garden.

Du Qinyue was suspicious of this, but she didn't believe it very much, so she said to Wei Changzai quietly: "I'll think about it and make a plan, you go back first, it's easy to arouse suspicion if you stay here for a long time." ”

Wei Changzai knew that Du Qinyue would inevitably ask people to go to Fengyi Palace or other places to inquire, but she was sure that what she said was true, so she didn't panic, saluted properly, and then went back to her residence.

Sure enough, not long after Wei Chang left, Du Qinyue called Xiu'er, who was staring at the other little palace maids in the courtyard/working, and commanded in a low voice: "You find a little palace maid in the palace, let her wait outside the Fengyi Palace, and find a way to come forward to talk to someone when someone comes out, and ask if Concubine Yin has been to the Fengyi Palace recently." ”

Xiu'er answered, turned around and walked into the courtyard.

Du Qinyue wanted to say a few more words, but she thought that Xiu'er had always done things more safely, so she didn't speak.

In the corner of the courtyard, two palace maids were pruning flower branches, and Xiu'er walked straight to the palace maid near the corner.

When the palace maid saw Xiu'er coming, she knew that Xiu'er was looking for herself, so she asked another palace maid to pour a bowl of water and spread the other palace maid away.

Xiu'er saw the palace maid's actions, and nodded in her heart, in fact, she also paid attention to these palace maids in the past, after all, the things that Du Qinyue ordered could not be done by her alone, and the clever ones could be cultivated a little, and they could do this matter of inquiring about the news today.

After the other palace maid walked away, the palace maid diligently came to Xiu'er's side, took off a bracelet from her wrist that did not look of good quality, and quietly stuffed it on Xiu'er while no one was paying attention to it.

The reason why the palace maid did this was because she knew that last time Xiu'er found a palace maid and told her something, after the palace maid came back, she was valued by the lady and stayed by her side.

Now seeing Xiu'er coming, it is obvious that there is something to order, and that palace maid will naturally not leave the opportunity to others, so she will be able to support another palace maid who is commensurate with sisters in the past.

Xiu'er felt more and more that this palace maid was clever, so she beckoned, asked the palace maid to come over with her ear, and whispered instructions.

After listening to Xiu'er's words, the palace maid nodded again and again, and said, "Sister Xiu'er, don't worry, the slave and maid will definitely handle this matter well, and no one will be left behind." ”

"It's good that you know what's at stake, after all, if you rashly inquire about the affairs of the queen's palace, if you are discovered, you can't fool you in a few words." Xiu'er said a few more words just in case.

Just as she was about to let the palace maid leave, Xiu'er suddenly thought of a suspicious point, and hurriedly said, "Wait a minute!" ”

The palace maid was already about to turn around when she looked at Xiu'er's expression, but when she suddenly heard Xiu'er's voice, she was startled and asked, "Sister Xiu'er, do you have any other orders?" ”

Xiu'er said with some suspicion: "I have already said the seriousness of this matter, if it is not good, offend the queen mother, there will be no good life in this palace in the future, why can you still agree to this matter so calmly, could it be that you were originally placed here by the queen mother?" ”

The palace maid originally thought it was a big deal, but after hearing Xiu'er's words, she replied indifferently: "The slave maid thought that my sister had other problems, if it was this matter, Sister Xiu'er didn't have to worry, there was a little father-in-law in Fengyi Palace, who came to show favor to the slave maid a few days ago, saying that he was interested in the slave maid." ”

"That's if you followed that father-in-law, wouldn't you just become the person in front of the queen, why do you want to stay here?" Xiu'er continued to ask reluctantly.

The palace maid gritted her teeth, obviously she didn't want to say it, but after hesitating for a while, she still said: "The palace maids in the palace can leave the palace when they reach a certain age, and the slaves and maids can leave this palace in three years. ”

Having said that, Xiu'er has almost understood, after all, the father-in-law is no longer a normal man even if the person in front of the queen is not a normal man, and if he is in the palace, maybe he will fall into some conspiracy, so it is really better to go out of the palace and marry an ordinary family.

Since she knew that there was indeed no problem with this palace maid, Xiu'er was relieved and motioned her to hurry up and do something.

The palace maid was really a clever person, and she didn't leave in front of everyone for no reason, but waited for the palace maid who went to pour water to come, and hurriedly said: "Good sister, you are busy here for a while, my sister suddenly has abdominal pain, so go to the toilet first." ”

The other palace maid was really simple-minded, and thought that the palace maid was really uncomfortable, so she said very kindly: "Then sister, go quickly, go back to the room to rest later, don't come over again, I will also help you do the work here." ”

This is exactly what the palace maid wants, she just doesn't know how to solve the unfinished chores in her hands, and when she heard this, she hurriedly said: "Good sister, my sister has this matter in mind today, and if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you." ”

"What did my sister say? If you don't feel well, go quickly, and if you don't repay anything, it's just a gesture. ”

The palace maid also left, she first walked in the direction of the backyard, so that the other palace maid thought that she really went to the toilet, after all, what Xiu'er said before, she listened to it in her heart, this thing must be able to not let people know, after all, there are many people, and if it spreads, it will also affect the opinion of others on the concubine.

All the way to Fengyi Palace, when there was still some distance from the palace gate, the palace maid stopped, as far as she knew, the little father-in-law who showed her favor would come out at this hour every day, but she didn't know what the little father-in-law was going to do.

Sure enough, the palace maid just stood up for tea, and then saw the little father-in-law walk out, she pretended to stand inadvertently at a corner where the little father-in-law was about to go, and then deliberately threw herself forward, creating a feeling that her feet were broken.

The little father-in-law had just been courteous, and he was naturally happy to see the palace maid at this time, and when he saw that the palace maid seemed to have broken his feet, he hurriedly stepped forward to hold the palace maid and asked, "What's the matter, are you okay?" ”

The palace maid seemed to be frightened and broke free from her little father-in-law's arms, and then blessed, and said, "The slave and maid inadvertently offended the father-in-law, please don't blame the father-in-law." ”

When the little father-in-law saw the palace maid's appearance, he felt very uncomfortable, but he still asked: "What are you doing in Fengyi Palace, is there nothing to do in the palace of Concubine Shuniang?" ”

The palace maid pretended to be unintentional and said: "Concubine Yin has something to do, but Concubine Yin is not in the palace, and Concubine Yin specially asked the slave to see if she is in the palace of the queen." ”

"Concubine Yin has never been to Fengyi Palace today, you can look elsewhere."

Hearing the meaning of the little father-in-law's words, the palace maid nodded and said, "There is a father-in-law, the slave maid will go to the side to have a look." ”

After that, the palace maid turned and walked in the opposite direction, and the little father-in-law looked at it, and found nothing wrong, so he also turned and left.

The palace maid avoided the palace people along the way, and quietly returned to Lanyue Palace, just at this time, Xiu'er sealed the life of the concubine, and came to the courtyard to see if the palace maid had returned, and the two happened to meet.

Xiu'er took the palace maid to see the concubine.

Although the palace maid was very excited, it was not obvious on the surface, but she saluted the concubine very respectfully, and then maintained the posture of saluting without exceeding the distance.

Concubine Shu looked the palace maid up and down, nodded secretly, and asked, "Is it the news that you went to Fengyi Palace to inquire about?" ”

"It was Sister Xiu'er who asked the slave maid to go, and the slave maid did inquire, Concubine Yin Niangniang has indeed gone to Fengyi Palace more frequently recently, but what exactly she did, the slave maid couldn't inquire."

Knowing that Concubine Yin had indeed gone to Fengyi Palace, Concubine Shu had a number in her heart, gave Xiu'er a look, and motioned for her to take something to reward this palace maid.

The palace maid looked at what Xiu'er took out, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "It is the honor of the slave to be able to do things for the lady concubine, and these rewards for the slave and maid are absolutely unacceptable, and please take it back." ”

"You will keep what this palace gives you, this is also what you deserve, if there is something in the future, you can do more with your heart."

The palace maid hurriedly kowtowed to Concubine Shu and said, "If the maid has a place where the slave maid can be used, the slave maid will definitely go to the soup and the fire, and she will not give up." ”

Concubine Shu raised her hand and motioned for the palace maid to go out.

Xiu'er looked at Concubine Shu's face, and closed the door after the palace maid went out, originally in order to facilitate the words of the palace maid, there were no other palace people in this room, and now the palace maid is only left with Concubine Shu and Xiu'er as soon as she goes out.

As soon as the door was closed, Xiu'er looked at Concubine Shu, but the news of Concubine Yin's defection to the queen didn't seem to make Concubine Shu too angry, she just held a bead hairpin on her head and muttered: "Let's look at it, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future." ”
