An autumn rain and a cold, Song Yunzhao pushed open the window in the morning, and the raindrops fell gently under the eaves, and from a distance, the courtyard seemed to be covered with a layer of rain and mist, and the autumn wind blew, which made her shiver.

Xiangxue hurriedly took her coat and came over, "Master, don't stand at the window, it's very cold here."

Song Yunzhao nodded and walked back, saying as he walked, "This weather is cold and cold all of a sudden, have you sent the autumn clothes from the Clothing Bureau?"

"Not yet." As soon as Xiangxue took her hand, she felt that her master's hand was a little cold, so she turned her head and sent a hand stove over.

Song Yunzhao couldn't cry or laugh, "It's not winter yet, where is this needed."

"Your hands are too cold, it's good to warm up, it doesn't matter what season he is, as long as you're comfortable, this thing is useful."

Song Yunzhao stretched out his hand to take it, not to mention that he did feel a lot warmer in his hand, and his cold fingertips also warmed.

Shi Zhu walked to the eaves of the porch with an umbrella, handed the umbrella to the little palace maid, and she carried a big burden into the hall.

When Xiangxue saw it, she said, "What are you taking?"

"The master's autumn clothes, Mama Yu took me to the Clothing Bureau to get them back, and it was cold all of a sudden, but fortunately I went early, and there were a lot of people in the Clothing Bureau to get the autumn clothes." Shi Zhu handed the burden to Xiangxue, saluted the master again, and said with a smile, "The slave and maid will change their clothes and serve the master again."

Song Yunzhao saw that her shoes were soaked, and hurriedly said, "You go quickly, don't come first after changing your clothes, let the teahouse get you some ginger soup to drink to drive away the cold."

There is no small kitchen in the Forgotten Worry Palace, only a pantry, where water is usually boiled and tea is made, and occasionally it is used to give Song Yunzhao a hot snack or other snacks.

Shi Zhu smiled and turned to go.

On the other side, Xiangxue took out the autumn clothes and looked through them carefully, and checked the stitches of the patterns and styles one by one, and the clothes bureau did nothing to blame, and she couldn't find fault with it, so she said: "Go back and make two bright ones with the slave and the bamboo and the master."

Their own needlework is good, but it is rare to have time to make such large pieces on weekdays, and autumn clothes are no better than summer clothes.

Song Yunzhao thought for a while, looked at Xiangxue and said, "I have been promoted to Jieyu, should we add people to the Forget the Palace?"

Xiangxue was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It's to add people."

Song Yunzhao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Gong Zhengji didn't send anyone over there?"

Xiangxue's face was also not good-looking, "It's the slave and maid who are derelict in their duties, and I ask the master to punish her."

Song Yunzhao didn't think about it herself, and she didn't blame Xiangxue, she just didn't expect Gong Zhengji to pretend to be deaf and dumb, which was a bit interesting.

She looked at Xiangxue and said, "You go to the palace and take a trip, and let them add people according to the book."

Xiangxue immediately responded, "The slave and maid will go here, it stands to reason that Gong Zhengji will choose someone on his side, and then let the master pick someone."

"Let Mama Yu palm her eyes and pick a few good needlework skills." Song Yunzhao felt that he had a big tie with Liang Zi over there in the Shangfu Bureau, and he couldn't count on them on the needlework, so he could only pick someone to use it himself.

Xiangxue went to find Mama Yu, and then the two went to Gong Zhengji.

Song Yunzhao felt that it was very troublesome, and as he lived in the palace for more and more time, he felt that there were more and more things that were subject to the Six Shang Bureau.

Relatively speaking, the palace is a palace institution and specializes in serving the concubines, but things are not so simple, and the relationship between the harem and the palace is a mutual check and balance.

This delicate relationship is difficult to describe in words, and the six female officials of the Six Shang Bureaus under the Gong Zheng Division are not one of the bricks, just like the Si Yi Bureau under the Shang Fu Bureau has a bad relationship with them.

The Clothing Bureau dared to do this because of the support of Cui Shangfu, who had a close relationship with Concubine Wan.

But now that he is being favored, Cui Shangfu doesn't dare to blatantly embarrass himself, so the autumn clothes sent meet the regulations without merit, so that he can't find fault with the Shangfu Bureau, but he won't let himself get more beautiful and attentive autumn clothes.

Shangfu Bureau is waiting for itself to be soft?

It's a dream!

She decided to cultivate her own talents, although it took a little time, but the cultivation is self

It's a good deal.

In the harem, it is very important to have your own territory and your own connections.

If you can't get Cui Shangfu's handle, you can't easily go to the emperor to complain, you must know that you have to beat a snake and beat seven inches for such a thing.

An hour later, Mama Yu came back with a not very good-looking face, and Song Yunzhao looked at her.

"Master, Gong Zhengsi said that there are no suitable palace people to be selected at the moment, and the previous batch of palace maids have just been selected by Huayang Palace."

Song Yunzhao is happy, Qin Xiyue's movements are very fast, and she is worthy of being an ambitious heroine.

"When can Miyashoji say you're sending someone over?" Song Yunzhao could hear what Gong Zhengsi's side meant, his relationship with Qin Xiyue was average, and Huayang Palace chose the rest of the people, and he definitely couldn't ask for it.

Besides, he has a higher position than Qin Xiyue, and if Gong Zhengsi really dares to choose the remaining people from Qin Xiyue, it is obviously offending himself.

Gong is a person who understands.

"Gong Zheng said that the lack of people in the palace is a dereliction of duty, and when she chooses someone, she will personally come to the palace to choose and make amends for the master." Mama Yu said so, but the look on her face was not very pleasant.

Song Yunzhao thought that Mama Yu and Gong Zheng must have competed, but it turned out that the Forget Worry Palace won.

"It's okay to wait a few days." Song Yunzhao chuckled, "However, Mama asked people to go to the palace to reply with a word, and said that I want two palace people with a clean foundation and good needlework."

Song Yunzhao didn't want to make a feud with the entire Liushang Bureau, he was afraid that he would live too freely and add to his troubles.

Gong Zheng's attitude is acceptable, and she is also willing to give the other party a step down.

As for whether her posture down the steps is in line with her wishes, it depends on Gong Zheng's attitude.

When Xiangxue heard this, she said, "The slave maid will go for a trip, and change someone to avoid being unclear."

Song Yunzhao nodded, "You can run again, remember to be gentle."

"Yes." Xiangxue reached the eaves of the porch, held up the umbrella and walked out again, this time her mood was a little better.

The master ordered like this, there must be a backhand, and if Gong Zhengji is not interested in this time, there is a high probability that he will be unlucky.

The rain gradually stopped, the autumn clothes were put into the closet, and the summer clothes had to be sorted out one by one.

Song Yunzhao was impatient with these trivial matters, so she went to the study to continue writing her "Peony Pavilion", and wrote it sporadically for many days, and some of the forgotten lyrics were recalled a lot by her unremitting efforts, but some of them really couldn't remember, and she could only make up for the rhyme by herself, so this job was not easy to do.

She is only a shallow learner, no matter how you look at the holes she has filled, she is barely strong. Tang Gong's name was written on the inscription, and Song Yunzhao breathed a long sigh of relief.

I checked it from beginning to end, and I felt that there was no problem, so I put the booklet in a brocade box and sealed it, and sent it out of the palace when the weather was better tomorrow, and inquired about the news by the way.

She used lunch alone, and after taking a nap, Han Jinyi's personal palace people came over and said that Feng Xiaoyuan wanted to come over with Han Xiaoyi to visit.

Song Yunzhao agreed to do nothing, Feng Yunjin gave Qin Xiyue as a military advisor in the book, but now the two are not tied together, as long as the corner can be dug up, she will definitely dig it.

Feng Yunjin still has a good impression on her, when Lu Zhixue was concerned, she knew her grievances with Lu Zhixue, and she was willing to return the family's affection to the door, not afraid of offending herself because of this matter, it can be seen that this person has a bottom line and morality.

Who knew that when he came to the door, he saw Lu Zhixue behind him, and Song Yunzhao was silent.

She found out that Lu Zhixue was really an incomprehensible existence, why did she follow others to her every time?

Do you have to chat too?

Lu Zhixue was a little embarrassed at Song Yunzhao's surprised look, but she followed Song Yunzhao and learned to be thick-skinned and learned, so she took the initiative to speak, "I just went out of the palace and ran into Yun Jin and Jinyi."

What else can Song Yunzhao say, after all, he can't drive people out.

What kind of friendship do you think she has with Lu Zhixue?

It's weird.

beckoned the three of them to sit down, she had already decided to come to make tea around the stove, and this kind of weather was really suitable.

Song Yunzhao asked people to get the necessary equipment for the hearth from the imperial dining room, the charcoal in the small tandoor was burned, the copper kettle rack soon came out on the road, the white mist slowly overflowed along the spout, and the table was full of all kinds of snacks, pastries, fruits, and melon seeds.

She also made a baking net and put it on another small oven, the mesh was very fine, put the melon seeds on it, and soon roasted the aroma, and the four of them hurriedly pulled down the melon seeds, and the speed was slow and baked.

For a while, several people who were rough and clumsy laughed, and Lu Zhixue knocked a melon seed that he roasted himself, feeling fragrant.

This thing is really interesting, and she will play with it herself.

Song Yunzhao put the jujubes, pears, and hawthorn on the roasting net and roasted them slowly, and listened to Lu Zhixue ask, "Can these also be roasted?"

"Why can't these be baked?" Song Yunzhao deliberately scolded her and asked.

Lu Zhixue: ......

Song Yunzhao looked at Lu Zhixue's expression, and said happily: "Whether you can bake it or not, you will know if you bake it, how can you know if you can bake it if you don't bake it, and you will definitely know if you can bake it if you bake it."

Lu Zhixue was stunned.

Feng Yunjin and Han Jinyi were so happy that their eyebrows narrowed, this day is called happy.

Han Jinyi gave Lu Zhixue the stairs, "I didn't know that these things could be grilled and eaten, let's just give it a try." said and looked at Lu Zhixue, "When we try it here in Jieyu, we will get one ourselves when we go back, and we will definitely not make a mistake."

Lu Zhixue felt that it made sense, and she also pinched the dates and put them on, and the smell was quite fragrant.

Song Yunzhao is a pity that there are no oranges, let's not say whether the baked oranges are delicious or not, but the aroma is really charming.

"I heard that Concubine Zhuang wanted to hold a small banquet for Qin Wanyi to congratulate her on her promotion, why is there no news until now?" Han Jinyi looked at Feng Yunjin and asked.

Feng Yunjin lives in the West Palace, which is closer to Concubine Zhuang and Qin Xiyue's palaces, so she is naturally more informed than them.

Feng Yunjin swallowed the melon seeds in his mouth, and then said, "I heard that Qin Wanyi refused."

Lu Zhixue snorted, "Pretending, I'm afraid that I can't wait for everyone in the harem to congratulate her."

Song Yunzhao echoed solemnly, "It makes sense."

Lu Zhixue listened to Song Yunzhao's words echoing her, her face looked a little better, and she coughed lightly and said, "I heard that Qin Yuanjing was impeached recently, and Mrs. Qin is running around for the matter of her eldest son, how can Qin Wanyi be in the mood to celebrate herself."

Song Yunzhao's eyes lit up, hey, the news he handed out moved so quickly?

Lu Zhixue originally wanted to show off to Song Yunzhao that she was well-informed, but when she raised her head, her bright eyes suddenly froze.

Song Yunzhao looked at her and urged, "You said, what's wrong?"

Your attitude towards jokes shouldn't be too obvious, but Lu Zhixue likes it, and she especially likes to watch Qin Xiyue's jokes now.

Han Jinyi couldn't help but laugh, Feng Yunjin also had a smile in his eyes, the two looked at each other, and they took a sip of tea together, so as not to be unable to help but talk more.

Lu Zhixue said a little arrogantly: "Qin Xiyue's promotion of Wanyi is different from your promotion to Jieyu, your family is not easy to find faults, but Qin Yuanjing is different, Zhida is talented, and with the protection of Mrs. Qin, he sat in the position of Langzhong in the Ministry of Works, and he acted on weekdays with his father is very arrogant, this time something happened, I don't know how many people look at her jokes."

After talking for a long time, he didn't get to the point, Song Yunzhao was so angry that he almost lifted the table, do you say this person is not angry?

Feng Yunjin looked at Yun Zhao's eyes and was about to burst into flames, and he was busy describing Lu Zhixue on the side and said, "It is difficult to say whether Qin Langzhong's crime this time is serious or not, it mainly depends on how His Majesty decides, but if you want to have the face of Taifu Qin, you should not be seriously responsible."

Song Yunzhao glared at Lu Zhixue, and seeing how good Feng Xiaoyuan could talk, he knew what she liked to listen to.

Lu Zhixue was so angry that she closed her mouth!

Song Yunzhao turned his head to look at Feng Yunjin, and settled down to talk to her slowly, "I heard that Qin Langzhong accepted bribes, and the amount of money was determined by the size of the crime, I don't know how much Qin Langzhong received?"

Feng Yunjin nodded, "This matter has just set off a storm, and the results have not yet come out, and someone has to verify the impeachment."

Han Jinyi added on the side, "The Criminal Department and Dali Temple are both investigating fraud cases, and there are not many people who can be separated, so I'm afraid we have to wait if we want the result."

"What's the matter, when this kind of thing happens, Qin Xiyue, who prides herself on being a noble family, see what face she still has to promote her nobility in the harem." Lu Zhixue said with a stab.

This made sense, and the other three looked at each other and laughed in unison.

Lu Zhixue looked at the three of them, "What's so funny about this, isn't what I said wrong?"

"That's right." Han Jinyi hurriedly comforted her, "Qin Wanyi refused the congratulatory banquet, probably she didn't want to be in the limelight at this time, if Qin Langzhong's incident this time was found to be true, her face really couldn't hang it."

Keeping a low profile now is also planning for the future.

Lu Zhixue's expression was still a little unhappy, she trusted Qin Xiyue at the beginning, but she was calculated, and now she feels stupid when she thinks about it.

Now that she can see Qin Xiyue's jokes, she is happier than Song Yunzhao, and when she thinks of this, she says, "Taifu Qin is a talented and well-educated official, but it's a pity that the descendants are not angry."

Han Jinyi nodded, if it weren't for this, Qin Xiyue would not have entered the palace, and Mrs. Qin asked her to enter the palace, not necessarily not to find a way for her son.

Feng Yunjin raised his head, "I heard that the exam is going to be reopened this time."

"Really?" Lu Zhixue was a little surprised, if she re-examined, would the emperor be open to the previous thing?

She didn't know how much her father was involved, but she hoped that his father would be safe.

"It should be." Feng Yunjin nodded, then looked at Song Yunzhao, "Does Jieyu know about this?"

Song Yunzhao shook his head, "I haven't gotten the news, but the emperor is a Ming monarch, and he will definitely not disappoint the students.

Feng Yunjin didn't believe that Song Jieyu didn't know that it was her cousin who was leading the trouble outside the palace.

However, after she learned that Song Huanran actually handed in the blank papers, she was deeply impressed, in the entire examination room, he was the only one who handed in all three blank papers, and the other one who handed in two blank papers was Song Jieyu's cousin-in-law.

You said, Song Jieyu's blessing is just that she is favored in the palace, and her mother's family has added glory to her outside the palace, what a great help.

The fraud case is so big, it is no longer just a matter of leaking the exam questions, and a letter from her family vaguely told her that the fraud case has swept into the fight between the left and right sides of the court.

There are a lot of officials involved this time, and the emperor will definitely not deal with them all, but there will inevitably be a lot of unlucky descendants who belong to the second phase.

The emperor has always wanted to take back the power of the court, and this time the Song family really handed the knife to the emperor himself.

With this credit, Song Hun Ran can already foresee that if he can be on the list in the re-examination, he is afraid that he will be even more beautiful than the champion.

This is really unenviable, this is not just a matter of luck and blessing, this must have the courage to make a decision and the means to strategize.

The emperor already likes Song Jieyu, but now the Song family is so worried about the monarch, before the next draft, no one in the palace will compare to Song Jieyu.

Will the emperor like them, the show girls with outstanding family backgrounds?

Definitely not.

Their entry into the palace was a compromise between the emperor and the courtiers.

Their situation is even more unbearable than the three concubines and concubines at the beginning, because the emperor is no longer the emperor five years ago, and there is no need to wronged himself to pamper the concubine and the third concubine as much as they do.

Feng Yunjin saw this clearly, so he worked hard to adjust his position in the harem, counting on the emperor's favor, it was better to have a good relationship with Song Jieyu.

She observed carefully for a few months, Song Jieyu seems to be domineering, but she acts in a very orderly manner, and does things according to the law, and her mind is not narrow-minded.

From Lu Zhixue's

This can be seen in the matter.

She can know that Song Jieyu is a bully, extremely disgusted with others, and when someone tries to compete with her for the emperor's favor, her attack power is quite strong.

And she has no extravagant expectations for the emperor's favor, if the emperor favored her at the beginning, she would naturally not refuse, but obviously she did not have this blessing.

Being good friends with Song Jieyu may not get what she wants, but it will not become a stepping stone for her.

Feng Yunjin had hesitated between Qin Xiyue and Song Yunzhao, but as time passed, she finally decided to get closer to Song Jieyu.

It's just that Song Jieyu has been favored for several months, but there is no good news in her belly.

Thinking about it, the third concubine and the noble concubine also didn't like it, and she even suspected that it wouldn't be the emperor's problem, right?

I only dared to think about it myself, and I didn't dare to say a word.

She even hoped that Song Jieyu could give birth to the emperor's eldest son, and she took refuge in Song Jieyu naturally hoped that she could rise to the top.

Han Jinyi took a bite of the roasted pear, which was slightly sour and sweet, but she was so appetizing to her, and immediately beckoned everyone to try it.

Lu Zhixue cut a piece of the entrance with a small silver knife, frowned slightly, a little sour, but the sour was just right, it was really delicious.

"If I had to retake the exam, the ranking of students would definitely be very different this time." Han Jinyi said with a smile.

"Of course, can the sake bag and rice bag be compared to the talent who has real talent?" Lu Zhixue complained.

Song Yunzhao and Feng Yunjin also smiled.

It wasn't until the four of Youchu dispersed that Lu Zhixue's Yihua Palace was closer, and he soon waved goodbye to the two at the intersection.

Han Jinyi and Feng Yunjin continued to move forward, passing through the Dongyu Garden, Liuhua Palace was in sight, Feng Yunjin looked at Han Jinyi, "It's a very happy thing to talk to Song Jieyu, no wonder you made a contract with her in the first place."

Han Jinyi was happy, "This is an accident, but Jieyu's temperament is really easy to get along with."

Feng Yunjin thought to herself that it was not necessary to get along well, but it was really good to be an ally with such a person.

"I see that autumn is coming, and the New Year will be in a few months, this year is really fast, and it will pass in the blink of an eye."

"yes." Han Jinyi bowed slightly, the New Year will be coming soon.

"Wait until the New Year's banquet, do you think our family can go to the banquet?"

Han Jinyi was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "How can I know this, but I hope to."

If the mother can go to the palace banquet, this is also the glory that she, as a daughter, brings to the family.

"yes, I want to, too." Feng Yunjin said goodbye to Han Jinyi after speaking, and continued to walk forward in the autumn breeze.

Han Jinyi stared at Feng Yunjin's back, and only entered the palace gate of Liuhua Palace for a while, not wanting to meet An Fangyi who was taking a walk, she stepped forward to salute, "The concubine has seen An Fangyi."

An Fangyi nodded lightly, looked at Han Jinyi and asked, "I seem to have heard Feng Xiaoyuan's voice just now."

Han Jinyi replied with a smile, "Yes, the concubine and Feng Xiaoyuan are walking along the way."

An Fangyi didn't speak again, turned around and went to her Flying Frost Palace.

Han Jinyi returned to his Autumn Hall with a smile, entered the inner hall, and then looked at Xia Dao and asked, "Why is An Fangyi taking a walk in the courtyard at this time?"

Asked Xia to stay in the Autumn Palace today, and when he heard the words, he replied: "I haven't seen anyone come to visit An Fangyi......" After speaking, he paused, "However, An Fangyi left Liuyun Palace in the afternoon and came back in more than half an hour."

"Do you know where you went?"

"The slave doesn't know, or I'll go out and inquire?"

Han Jinyi shook her head, "No need, it's just a casual question."

Han Jinyi said so, but there were some doubts in her heart, An Fangyi rarely went out of the Cloud Palace, and it took more than half an hour to come back, such weather is definitely not going out to enjoy flowers and gardens, it must be to meet someone.

Han Jinyi remembered what An Fangyi had asked her before, as if she was waiting for her to come back.
