Chapter 197: Raiding the House
Before coming, Ji Guiren felt that Concubine Shu might not see her, or she might turn a deaf ear to what she said, or fall into the ground, she had the means to deal with it, and even thought about how to hide her face and leave Bihua Palace in tears to provoke the discussion of the Six Palaces.
I just didn't think that people were particularly righteous.
Withheld by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, right? The number of cases is less than two, right?
Seeing that Ji Guiren couldn't sit still and wanted to get up to stop the pillow Qiu, Jiang Xian gave her a look, Mian Xia stepped forward and pressed her back to her seat, and said with a polite smile: "Don't worry, the little lord is a well-known warm-hearted person in the palace, as long as what the little lord said is true, if you stab the concubine Niangniang, she will definitely make the decision for you."
Ji Guiren was in a hurry, she just didn't want to stab in front of Concubine Rong.
The eunuch is used to watching people put down dishes, seeing that she is hopeless, and gradually has no good face for her, and the silver is not as effective as before, she is eager to find a backer for herself, the original target is Concubine Zhang Xian and Lu Ronghua, but neither of these two families will accept her olive branch, so she has to hit the idea on Concubine Shu again.
If Concubine Shu drove her out today, she would be able to sell this matter miserably in front of the emperor.
Even if the Ji girl is not favored, there is no reason for being trampled like this.
The emperor has to look at her grievances and comfort her for two days!
"The concubine is busy, and the concubine is as humble as a mustard, so how can she bother her with these trivial matters?"
Ji Guiren lost his mind in a hurry, and regretted it after speaking.
Sure enough, Jiang Xian raised her eyebrows: "Then the noble Ji is embarrassed to disturb the palace?"
"That's what the concubine doesn't mean, it's that the concubine is stupid and can't speak, just assume that the concubine hasn't come, it's the concubine who is reckless, and please don't bother the concubine with today's affairs."
Ji Guiren almost knelt down for her in the main hall.
Jiang Xian didn't listen, Bihua Palace is a place where you come and go? She is now a senior executive of the company with an independent office, and a middle and lower level came to the human resources department to sue the human resources department to enrich her own pockets, and half of the complaint said that she wanted to run if she was fine, and there was no such cheap thing: "Are you in a hurry to leave? The palace also plans to invite the concubine to come over - that's it, there is no reason to let the concubine come."
Ji Guiren was overjoyed when he heard this: "You shouldn't disturb the concubine with such a trivial matter."
I saw Jiang Xian put down the teacup and said with a smile, "It's better for this palace to take you to Zhaoyang Palace to confront you face to face."
Ji Guiren's face turned white.
Jiang Xian said that, she got up to leave, and the palace maids and eunuchs beside her followed and prepared in a hurry, and Bu Yuan was also waiting in front of the palace gate of Bihua Palace in the blink of an eye. Ji Guiren and the palace maid she brought followed weakly and helplessly, looking at Jiang Xian from time to time, hoping that she was just scaring herself.
But no, Concubine Shu's steps really went towards Zhaoyang Palace.
And Chen Guiren, who sneaked over to the main hall to watch the whole process, sighed to Hexiang while watching Concubine Shu walk away: "She is only afraid of the concubine, not afraid of the concubine? It's also a loss to enter the palace late, who doesn't know that our lady concubine is a person who dares to confront the concubine as soon as she enters the palace, and she is a little unclear about the situation."
She ate melons and ate them to her heart's content, and she left with a box of candied fruits at parting, and the palace maid in the main hall was not surprised by this, and only recorded it in the account - Chen Guiren from the west side hall came to eat and drink again. ….
-----------------
On the way to Zhaoyang Palace, Ji Guiren was secretly praying that it was best to let Concubine Rong not see the guests if she had something, or simply not in Zhaoyang Palace, and there would be room for maneuver in things.
However, as soon as Jiang Xian's chariot arrived at Zhaoyang Palace, as soon as the little eunuch guarding the door passed in, Qiu Yun, the big palace maid beside Rong Guifei, greeted her warmly: "Guifei Niangniang was just talking about you, Concubine Niangniang, less than a pillar of incense kung fu Niangniang came, it can be seen that Niangniang and my master have a heart, please come in quickly."
She didn't even glance at Ji Guiren next to her.
It stands to reason that even if the position is as low as agreeing, the palace maid should salute when she sees it. It's just that Qiu Yun thinks that she is the big palace maid next to the concubine, and she turns a blind eye to her, and she has no choice but to attack the concubine's slave in Zhaoyang Palace.
When she heard that Concubine Shu was visiting, Concubine Rong was enjoying the autumn hall
Spoonful by spoonful of bird's nest fed to herself, while glad that Jiang Xian took the initiative to come to her, she complained to Qiu Tang: "This palace has calculated, in this small half month, Concubine Shu has gone to Jianzhang Palace three times more than Zhaoyang Palace, it is difficult for her to remember this palace."
"Oh, Niangniang, you also know, the one in Jianzhang Palace has not been able to do anything since he gave birth to Princess Taihua, so don't you have to pass on Concubine Shuniang to help? That's all official business, Concubine Shuniang came to our Zhaoyang Palace, but it's all a private matter, who kisses and who is sparse at a glance."
Qiu Tang was stupid, but he was taken advantage of by Gonggong Ding next to him.
Rong Guifei smiled as she heard this.
That's what she loves to hear.
People raised in the nest of wealth always attach great importance to emotional value, and regard their joys, sorrows, and sorrows as more important than money, but Jiang Xian is not, people can't even want money for love.
At this moment, the palace maid walked into the house quickly: "Niangniang, the concubine has arrived."
"Well, come in."
As a result, Concubine Shu followed a person.
After seeing who it was, Concubine Rong's face suddenly collapsed: "You came here, why did you bring some irrelevant people?"
Ji Guiren timidly saluted her.
Concubine Rong didn't see her, just looked at Jiang Xian, waiting for her to reply.
The decoration of Zhaoyang Palace is more gorgeous and magnificent than Bihua Palace - the Rong family is not only rich, but also likes to send money into the palace to give their daughter flowers, and the emperor's reward over the years has laid the foundation of Zhaoyang Palace.
Look, even the lady concubine who is favored by her can only be questioned in front of Rong Guifei, how dare she provoke the concubine!
"Zhaoyang Palace is so big, I walked in from the outside, and my legs were sore, didn't my sister give me a seat?"
But I saw that Concubine Shu was tired of her voice, and said almost coquettish words in a sweet voice that Ji Guiren had never heard before. In all fairness, Concubine Shu's voice is very pleasant, but what's the use of being coquettish and stupid to the same sex? I'm afraid it will only anger the concubine even more...... When she went to visit other lords, she deliberately dressed herself as ordinary and plain.
Concubine Shu said this, I'm afraid it won't be enough to annoy the concubine!
"Hmph, clever words," Sure enough, Concubine Rong snorted coldly, as if she didn't want to give her a good face: "Can this palace still have a soft cushion for you?" Come here, sit here." ….
The cold words were cold, but the gaze was the closest place next to her.
A palace maid had already arranged the seat comfortably, and water with a moderate temperature was poured next to it, Qiuyun whispered: "Niangniang is a person with a double body, and the concubine Niangniang has instructed not to serve tea to Niangniang, for fear that it will not be good for the fetus."
"I want you to talk a lot!"
Concubine Rong glared at her.
"I have known my sister's care for me for a long time, how can my sister be so attentive and thoughtful to me in other places."
Ji Guiren felt uncomfortable listening to these words.
Concubine Shu is afraid that she will deal with Concubine Rong with the same trick as the emperor.
"Oh, it's good that you know, the whole palace is also better for you," but Rong Guifei was very useful: when Ji Guiren was half-squatting and her legs were numb, she asked her: "Say, what is this?"
Jiang Xian told Ji Guiren about crying in her palace from beginning to end, and commented at the end: "Ji Guiren cried to my Bihua Palace, begging me to ask very earnestly, I felt uncomfortable when I heard it, but the Internal Affairs Office is not under my control! I'm afraid that I'll stand by and watch others say I'm ruthless, and I don't have a clue for a while, so I have to take her to bother you, sister."
Ji Guiren listened to it with a cold heart.
Yes, Concubine Shu, you didn't stand idly by, you did something a hundred times more ruthless than this, and you brought her to Zhaoyang Palace.
"Listen to the words of the noble Ji, the Internal Affairs Office has deducted your food and clothing,"
Concubine Rong waved her hand and motioned for Qiu Tang to put down the small bowl containing half a bowl of bird's nest: "You come and tell me about it."
Ji Guiren: "Concubine ......"
"I didn't let you say it, let your palace maid say it."
The palace maid brought by Ji Guiren was not particularly clever, and she stumbled to tell her about the lack of charcoal and fabric, and Rong Guifei didn't have a special reaction when she heard it: "Call Xue Rang over."
Xue Rang is the father-in-law in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
While waiting for Xue Rang to come over, Ji Guiren has been saluting.
When Xue Rang arrived, he first asked the concubine for peace with sincere fear, and the little eunuch behind him was holding a tray in both hands, on which was placed a palace dress, its texture could be seen with the naked eye to be unusually light and soft, and it was already shining in the natural light, with the change of light and angle, it reflected different colors, and it was very gorgeous. The brocade itself is already rare, and with a large area of floral patterns, it is rich and compelling.
"Niangniang, this palace costume cut from eightfold brocade is a slave who looks good and is filial to Niangniang."
As the department with the most oil and water in the harem, Xue Rang has some rare samples pressed on his hands, which is reasonable and legal. After all, the things that are paid tribute to the palace from all over the country, no matter how good they are, are not directly used, but they must be studied and pondered by professionals.
The similarity between the palace and the big groups is that the process is extremely complex.
The samples sent in from outside the palace to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not return them, and they are counted as consumables on the surface, and there is a lot of room for operation in how to deal with them in private. The power is as great as Xue Rang, and it is common to use it to honor the mother. ….
"Niangniang's care of the slave is better than that of the father, the slave was overlooked for a while on the Wanshou Festival, so that the slave under the Diao was blinded, fortunately the mother came to the rescue, the slave has always remembered the kindness of the mother, this filial piety is not as good as the mother to treat the slave one-ten-thousandth, the slave only asks the mother to give a grace, if the mother does not dislike, then accept the slave's filial piety, the slave will be grateful."
Xue Rang lowered his posture very low, and begged the concubine to accept the gift.
The eight-fold brocade is the most fashionable fabric this year, only in the south of the Yangtze River, and the amount sent to Beijing is very small, but the Rong family is not bad at this, she has already seen it, so Rong Guifei smiled faintly: "This palace can save you once or twice, but it can't save the third time, Ji Guiren cried to Concubine Shu and complained that your internal affairs office deducted the charcoal and cloth in her share, do you recognize this matter or not?"
Xue Rang was shocked, and immediately knelt down: "The slave will never dare to do this deceitful thing! Ji Guiren's charcoal and cloth are all taken away according to the rules, and there will never be a shortage of catties or two, and there must be some misunderstanding."
This matter is not difficult to investigate, Xue Rang is the old steward in the palace, the evidence is well placed, and under Ji Guiren's increasingly pale face, the truth of the matter will come out - the Internal Affairs Office has given her a lot of examples, but what is given is the worst quality.
Ji Guiren wept, and the palace maid next to her cried out, she knelt down and began to cry: "Father-in-law Xue, don't go too far, my master is a noble person named by the emperor himself, if you come to Yizhuxuan to see it, you will know how smoky the charcoal is, but if you don't burn charcoal, you can't stay cold...... The little master can't stand it anymore before he makes this decision, and I beg my mother to be magnanimous and considerate."
"Midori!"
When the palace maid finished saying everything that should be said, Ji Guigui stopped her.
After hearing Lu Qi's words, Concubine Rong's eyes fell on her: "You let this palace go to the place where Ji Guiren lives?"
Lu Qi was glanced at by her, and her kneecaps were trembling.
"The nobles of this palace do not step on the ground."
A contemptuous sentence made Ji Guiren's face blue and white for a while.
Jiang Xian: "That's where I lived."
"It's long overdue to move, how can people live in such a big place, just the minions who are waiting are full, and now Bihua Palace is good, and it is close to Zhaoyang Palace."
Rong Guifei said.
"Xue made you hear what she said, what do you say?"
Xue Rang looked innocent: "The Internal Affairs Office just does things according to the rules, how many nobles have to take away, how much can be taken away by the nobles, no more than no less, even if it is the same batch of cloth, there are different colors, and the slave can only ensure that the cloth that is delivered to the little master is complete."
, as for the charcoal burning, there is smoke...... In addition to silver charcoal, what charcoal burns without smoke? The little master is noble, and the slave can't help it."
Silver silk charcoal is good, who doesn't know?
You have to see if you are worthy.
Ji Guiren was already frightened, who expected Xue to change his words and shake off other things: "The slave often hears that Lu Qi next to Ji Guiren often rewards the eunuchs of the Internal Affairs Office, and the slaves also think that the little master is very satisfied with our family, and also allows the idle little eunuchs to go to Yizhuxuan to help, this is not in accordance with the rules, the slave is uneasy by Ji Guiren's words, so he will return all the silver, and hope that Niangniang will spare it."
Since entering the palace, Ji Guiren has spent a lot of money on the Internal Affairs Office in order to live a comfortable life.
There are also a few hundred taels smaller than if it is smashed.
This bit of silver smashed the eunuchs of the Internal Affairs Office, which was a drop in the bucket for Xue Rang, and when he said this, it would be difficult for Ji Guiren to be rich in the future.
"It's good that you can reflect on it, this palace allows you to make up for your mistakes, you go back with Ji Guiren, and see where Yi Zhuxuan has spent money to make changes, or where it shouldn't belong to her, return it to the Internal Affairs Office."
The furniture and roof that had been repaired at the expense of money were all chiseled.
All the things bought with silver were taken away.
Of course, Xue Rang also returned the silver taels to her - but the "depreciation price" was deducted, after all, many items have been used, so they can't be used casually by other noble masters.
Ji Guiren and Lu Qi were stupid.
This is to raid the house, and there has never been such a shameful precedent in the harem, but the words spoken by Concubine Rong have never been taken back, even if Ji Guiren cried and begged, she was not shaken by half a point. After an afternoon's work, most of the harem knew that Ji Guiren's Yi Zhuxuan had been copied, and knew that it was from Concubine Rong's handwriting.
The battle of the concubine, what a majesty.
Most of the harem is thinking that Concubine Rong has no children, and sooner or later she will be disappointed.
It's just that everyone didn't expect that day to come so quickly.
