Chapter 211: What About the Concubine?
"The two little ladies of the Eleventh Niang and the Xie family were originally cousins, and the Queen Mother intended to make the Eleventh Niang the two team leaders, and she also hoped that the Eleventh Niang could take more care of them."
When the elixir and the moon were whispering, in front of the floating incense corridor, under the red plum tree, the spring warbler took a small step back, and it was also reminding Shi Niang to pay attention to the forbidden demands of the public who could not be announced: "Si Niang is just that, especially Xie Wu Niang, sentimental and stubborn, the Queen Mother also feels quite nerve-wracking, if Eleven Niang can be enlightened, but it is not too conniving, the Queen Mother hopes that Wu Niang's temperament can be reversed." ”
These words sound like heartfelt words, and Eleven Niang naturally appreciates it.
"In addition, Princess Tong'an has a weak temperament, and it is not difficult to get along with each other in the past, but the Queen Mother expects the princess to know how to answer the gift, especially in calligraphy and painting, which is what Eleven Niang is good at, and she can use her heart to guide her." After Chunying said this, she lowered her voice a little lower: "There is still a need to be vigilant, it is the King of Jin...... The king is the most sorry for the princess, often go to the cui palace to visit, eleven Niang for the waiter, I am afraid that I will not be able to avoid meeting with the king in the future, everything is respectful, remember not to collide with the king. ”
After explaining this, the spring warbler didn't stay long.
Eleven Niang watched the palace people walk away along the path under the shade of plums, frowning slightly.
It's very strange, the Queen Mother is far from being very important to her at this time, and even her trust is extremely limited, but why is this henchman next to her so kind to mention it? Although there is no trap in the words, but this attitude itself is interesting, could it be that the Queen Mother's intentional temptation has begun, but why would she tell these through the mouth of her confidants?
Of course, it is impossible for Shi Niang to think through the root cause carefully at this time, and it is impossible to understand that the Queen Mother is using the identity of the concubine of the King of Jin, which is enough to make the palace people excited, and to see who has more means than the two of Chunying and the elixir, and will serve as the eyes and ears of the King of Jin in the future.
And among the three team leaders, including her, one of them must be calculated and become a stepping stone for the spring warbler or the elixir to get rid of the humble.
Speaking of spring warblers, the selection of the target person is actually confident.
The Queen Mother has always been uneasy about the King of Jin, but seeing that the King of Jin is getting older, for the time being, she can't simply cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and she can only monitor and guard through her ears and eyes. Although because of the King of Jin himself's violent and stubborn nature, it is difficult to choose a princess for a while, but after all, the King of Jin is fourteen, and the sage has several overt and secret gestures - the way of "human ethics" should be taught, even if the princess is not selected for the time being, there should be a concubine by the side.
And this concubine must be the queen mother's trusted confidant, and she will never be accepted by the king of Jin.
She and the elixir actually have this basic condition.
According to Chunying's observation, the candidate for the future princess of Jin is only one of the three, and the first choice is Xie Ying, because the queen mother has no doubt about Xie Raoping, but Xie's wife Mrs. Wei has always been dissatisfied with the queen mother, resulting in her granddaughter Xie Ying is not close to the queen mother.
The other is Xie Fei and Liu Shi Niang, based on this, Chun Ying firmly believes that the Queen Mother will never eliminate Liu Shi Niang at the beginning of their relationship.
The reason why she showed favor to Liu Shiniang was, of course, not to please the future "housemother" in advance, but just to mislead the opponent with the elixir.
Of course, Chunying will not set Wei Yi as a target, and the other two team leaders are Wang Shiniang and Rong Guogong's granddaughter Lu Sanniang.
Although Wei Xiangcai complained in front of the Queen Mother two days earlier, saying that Prince Xiangguo of Lingnuma rejected the request of the King of Yichuan County, did not let the household allocate funds to the Queen Mother's Mausoleum, and insisted that the aftermath of the snow disaster caused in many places this winter must be taken care of.
Because Wang Xiangguo is the queen mother after all, although some political opinions conflict with the queen mother's intentions this time, the queen mother will not be disgusted by this.
The queen mother's dissatisfaction must be Lu Sanniang, to be more accurate, it is the Rongguo couple and his wife!
At that time, Rong Guogong bit Liu Xuanqing and did not let go, resulting in the Queen Mother not being able to justifiably rely on the Mandate of Heaven to listen to the system, and the matter developed later, and even caused Xie Gong to be demoted, and the Son of Heaven returned to power, and Rong Guogong was reused by the Son of Heaven with this merit, and he was ordered to be responsible for the construction of the Son of Heaven's mausoleum.
In addition, many of the Lu clan members have been entrusted with important tasks by the Son of Heaven, and there is a great tendency to revivenation, and they have repeatedly joined forces with Xue Xiang, Feng Xiang, Wei and Mao, how not to make the Queen Mother angry?
This time, Lu Sanniang's selection as an attendant was not the will of the Queen Mother, but the intention of the Son of Heaven.
It's just that just one Liu Shi Niang is not enough to cause the elixir to let Lu Sanniang go, so she has to think of a way to completely mislead the elixir and let her choose one between Liu Shi Niang and Wang Shi Niang.
Eleven Niang was on the way back to the duty house, and happened to bump into the elixir going out, of course she recognized this person who was also like a spring warbler, and the queen mother was also a close palace person in the palace, and she was even more suspicious for a while, why did the two henchmen visit the waiting house with their front and back feet?
Compared with the spring warbler's impassivity and only complaining from the bottom of her heart, this one looks shrewd and exposed, with a pair of eyes flashing sharp, and the word "guess" is almost not clearly written on his forehead.
"Contemptible elixir, ask Eleven Niang Wanfu Shun'an." Although the palace maid bent her knees, her eyes did not leave the face of Eleven Niang.
It's not that the rules and etiquette of the elixir palace have not been learned in place, firstly, it is to bully that Eleven Niang has just entered the palace and is weak, and secondly, she really wants to peek at the little girl's face to see what the spring warbler has avoided and explained to everyone in private.
"The eunuch is here, but the queen mother has another order?" Of course, Eleven Niang remained silent.
The elixir smiled slightly: "The contemptible person is just here to visit Sister Yuerong." ”
It turned out that these two people turned out to be sisters...... Eleven Niang's heart is dark, of course, she doesn't believe in the rhetoric of the elixir.
Even if they are sisters, they were originally on an errand in the Hanxiang Temple, and they couldn't wait to come to visit after being separated for a day?
"Eunuch, please." Eleven Niang did not debunk it, and did not deliberately show enthusiasm.
The Queen Mother is quite suspicious, she doesn't want to be in a hurry to make friends with the people of the Hanxiang Palace as soon as she enters the palace, even if it does not cause the Queen Mother to be vigilant, and she behaves so utilitarianly and flatteringly, it is not a wise person who should have the bearing.
But I didn't want the elixir to step forward and take the initiative to entangle, and smiled sweetly: "If there is anything that is not very clear, you can ask Yuerong, the queen mother can have an explanation, Yuerong will do her best to serve and take care of her, the contemptible sister has been in the palace for a long time, and her temperament is the most obedient and honest, Eleven Niang can rest assured and trust, but it is a spring warbler...... Although the queen mother is important, she is very scheming, and Eleven Niang must remember to take precautions. ”
The provocation is so obvious that it seems that he is a fool again.
Eleven Niang paused and said with a smile: "Eunuch Chunying is also kind-hearted, and told me to take more care of my fourth and fifth cousins. ”
"The Queen Mother is indeed treating the two little ladies of the Eleventh Niang and the Xie family as ordinary, in short, the Eleventh Niang has to be careful, the Eleven Niang is young, and she is the leader of the team, I am afraid that there will be the rest of the attendants who are not satisfied and looking for a chance to make trouble." The elixir seized the opportunity to take a step forward: "Earlier, the contemptible people listened to the discussion of the two attendants, and said that Eleven Niang was just a concubine, and was selected as the leader of the team because of the study of Yingyang Zhenren, but the talent was originally not limited to calligraphy and painting. ”
Eleven Niang: ......
This is really a snake on the pole!
The two henchmen of the Queen Mother, one is scheming, the other is flamboyant and impatient, the other is "kind-hearted", and the other is maliciously provoking, which one is singing? !
Temptation must be a temptation.
Eleven Niang had already made up her mind to show her wrist as soon as possible, and to win some of the queen mother's weight, the more determined she was at this time.
And today's strange thing didn't end with the elixir.
When Shi Niang asked the eight attendants to gather in the Xie Fei sisters' house to copy the forbidden rites, of course, they also went straight to it, but before they sat down, they received a lot of ill-intentioned glances - except for Xie Ying, who was still immersed in her own sorrows, and didn't look at Shi Niang.
After sitting down for a while, someone couldn't help but be impatient and provoked-
"Although Siniang's painting skills are a little inferior, but on the four arts and poetry and history, and other average knowledge, it is the best among us, and it is more obvious to the daughter-in-law, I really think that Siniang should be the head of the team." The child who spoke was already the age of cardamom, the older in the group, and Shi Niang still remembered introducing herself in front of the princess earlier, this self-proclaimed Wei Sanniang, whose grandfather was the Chang'an Order, and whose father is now serving in the Yushitai, a girl from Xie Raoping's henchman's family.
Although the intention of picking right and wrong is too obvious, he still knows how to block Xie Fei in the way.
If Eleven Niang is competitive, compares her talent with Xie Fei, and causes an accident, will it become a discord between cousins?
Eleven Niang has no interest in playing with these little girls at all.
She looked at Xie Fei with a smile: "Fourth sister, I haven't remembered it carefully for a while, this is ......"
Xie Fei was secretly proud, and casually said Wei Sanniang's identity again.
"It turned out to be Wei Ji's niece, and she can barely be regarded as the cousin of my clan." Eleven Niang's words choked Wei Sanniang's pretty face pale.
Her aunt is just a nephew and concubine of Jingzhao Liu's branch, and what about the Wei family's concubine, she only has the status of a concubine in the Liu family.
"The head of my team is appointed by the Queen Mother, if Wei Sanniang questions that I am not qualified enough and does not want to listen to my restraints, it doesn't matter, after class tomorrow, I will go straight to the Queen Mother, only for this act of stirring up trouble, do you think that Fourth Cousin Xie will fall into the scheme, but she can't argue with me?" Eleven Niang glanced at Wei Sanniang: "Thinking that Sanniang is a first-time offender, I won't care much about it this time, if there is a next time, I won't be lenient." ”
Even Xie Fei was shocked by his words-this team leader is not easy to mess with!
However, Eleven Niang was suspecting that Yuerong was secretly bewitching things, but when she went back to her own house, she encountered another strange thing.
Yue Rongyu reported: "Earlier, when I heard Ah Mei's elixir mention, I learned that the Queen Mother had set a two-month examination period, and if you have a bad character, you will be deposed...... Eleven Niang has to be careful, don't argue with others because of impulsiveness, causing the Queen Mother to be dissatisfied. ”
Eleven Niang: ......
What is the situation, on the first day of entering the palace, before even waiting for the duty of serving and reading, the moonlight, the spring warbler, and the elixir were so confusing!
