Although the Xie family only has the rank of beauty, but because of the old people in the palace, the queen does not favor one over the other in other aspects, for example, maybe she lives alone in a palace, the old servants who serve by her side, the nurse allows the palace to be nurtured, and the maid is registered in the palace and still takes care of her daily life by her side.

Woke up at noon on this day, still feeling lazy, Xie Meiren sat on a soft couch under the corridor, and the palace maid Caiming shook the Luo fan and fluttered in the wind, and in her ears was another little palace maid reading the "Ovary Poems", and her eyes looked out of the corridor, a kingfisher, standing on the branch of the magnolia.

She thinks that such a sun and moon are really tasteless, and she has wasted her years and is getting old, even if she is dressed in silk and satin, there is no lack of delicacies from the mountains and seas, but in the end it tastes like chewing wax, and it is extremely boring.

Why is she not very popular? is just looking forward to her husband's love, surrounded by a pair of children under her knees, isn't this the world where women should be happy? She didn't want to be glorious and rich, but she was sent to this extremely rich and noble realm, and she never had the luxury of favoring the harem, why is it just that little wish, God just refuses to give luck.

In a blink of an eye, seven or eight days have passed since the announcement to Jiangnei, and there is still no good news from Zichen Palace.

I'm afraid that the eunuch dislikes bribes and is not rich enough?

Thinking that Jiang Neijian is now majestic, and he can get close to the holy bow, naturally there is no shortage of people who are attached to him, and he is hot and glorious, and he really doesn't care about her meager bribe, but what can she do? She is not like Qi and Yuan, she is the daughter of a large sect, she has a sufficient dowry, and she has been in Jinyang Wangfu for ten years, although she does not worry about clothing and food, and she does not need to spend extra, but there is no property outside the mansion to earn interest, where can she have much savings.

He had already used half of his body to buy the eunuch, and he had to leave half of his body behind - after all, in the deep palace, if he wanted to buy his ears and eyes to provide information in the future, how could he avoid reducing consumption.

Thinking about it like this, I can't help but feel sad about my situation, why is she so miserable?

was depressed, suddenly heard that the distinguished guests came to the door, Xie Meiren listened to the palace people's report that Jiang Nei Jian asked to see the fashion and couldn't believe it, he was stunned for a few breaths before he hurriedly instructed "please", followed by himself and sorted out the hairpin ring clothes, and greeted him very diligently, and saw Jiang Yuan's red clothes from a distance, and he was even more smiling.

It wasn't until he invited the guests and hosts to sit down and instructed the idlers to go away that Xie Meiren was surprised to see that Jiang Neijian's smiling face was gloomy, and an eager heart was like pouring ice water, clammy and cold and sinking.

"Xie Meiren, you are tired and old, today I see that the saint is easy to have idleness, and the mood is also very happy, a little mention, I didn't expect to be immediately debunked and received the benefits of Xie Meiren, and the saint still thinks of Gu Lao Yu for more than 20 years, and he has served hard before and after the saddle, so he did not get angry and punish him heavily, only thank the beauty for those bribes, the old man did not dare to hide it privately, and handed it over to the saint, and the saint let the old man tell him, now the treasury is empty, Xie Meiren has floating wealth, and is willing to alleviate the financial difficulties of the monarchy, so you may as much as possible, If you can persuade Xie Xiangguo to hand over all the looting of the people's fat and ointment and a lot of bribes over the years, it can be regarded as a meritorious achievement, and it is not impossible to promote Xie Meiren to one of the nine concubines. ”

Xie Shi was like being struck by lightning, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Jiang Yu sneered: "Since the beauty knows that she is not so capable, she should be disciplined, don't blame the old man for not giving guidance to the beauty, how can the current saint be wise and martial, how can he be fooled by tricks?" Xie Meiren has been in the palace for ten years, not without the opportunity to work, but although there is no evil intentions, it is also the first rat at both ends to protect himself, and now he sees that wealth can be expected, and he wants to soar, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world? Now that the beauty still has a place in the harem, instead of cutting her hair in the Ganye Temple, the green lantern and the wooden fish will be old, and it is time to thank the emperor for his kindness and tolerance. ”

After saying the salute, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Jiang Yu walked away without seeing anyone, Xie Meicai dared to hide her face and cry, but she never let out a loud cry, only her heartfelt mood was broken, but the palace maid Caiming, who planned to flatter and flatter, was stunned for a long time, and then cautiously stepped forward to comfort.

Xie Shi couldn't help complaining this time: "It's understandable that the saint blames me, but I clearly hinted that the queen was wary of Ren, and it wasn't indifferent to me, but the queen refused to admit these things, and now there is no way to make the saint believe it...... Why did the queen do this to me? In the past ten years, when have I not listened to her orders, I dare not disobey half of them, I have no family support, and my talent is far inferior to hers, why should I be so jealous of her......"

Cai Ming also hugged the master upset: "The maid is thinking, the queen is generous on the surface, but in fact she is jealous, maybe she has already understood the beauty and is very intelligent, and she is worried that the beauty is thin and the holy favor, but the harem is three thousand, which does not expect the holy family, and the queen tries to monopolize the grace, isn't it ridiculous?" Or, the queen trusts Qi Zhaoyi more, to put it mildly, when she was in the palace, the queen and Qi Zhaoyi were indeed closer. ”

Xie Meiren was suspicious of Caiming's words: "Things seem to be wrong...... In the past, in the palace, the saint clearly favored Liu and Hu Erji the most, although the Liu family is now a concubine, the saint suddenly neglected and alienated her, and that Hu Ji was not allowed to enter the palace, whether she was dead or alive is unknown, is it that all kinds of things in the past are all ways to obstruct the eyes? ”

"Beauty is ......" Chaeming covered his mouth, his face full of disbelief.

"If the queen had betrayed the queen mother a long time ago, she would have always been in love with the saint...... Xie Meiren couldn't care about self-pity and self-pity, and sat up straight suddenly: "She actually saw that I was already emotionally attached to the saint, so now she deliberately suppressed it, and she was laughing at me for not knowing it." ”

But even if you penetrate this layer of secrets, it doesn't make the slightest sense, Xie Meiren can only be more desperate and more remorseful.

It seemed to be fate, and a subsequent incident confirmed Xie Meiren's conjecture.

Her widowed mother, Luo Shi, asked to enter the palace to meet the queen.

Of course, Eleven Niang understood that Luo's purpose was not really to come to pay respects, but to use this excuse to hope to meet her daughter, because of Xie Meiren's rank, she was not qualified to meet relatives and friends, but as long as the queen was willing to give her concubines a little decency, most of them would not refuse to be accommodating. Shi Niang herself didn't have any grudges with Xie Meiren, of course, she wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for these people, and agreed to Luo's request, but because she happened to have a matter in her hand and couldn't be separated, she simply saved Luo's trip to Penglai Palace.

The mother and daughter said goodbye for a long time, and they greeted each other with emotion, and Luo explained his intention to his daughter: "From the sister of the previous clan, that is, the daughter of the Yaoguang clan, who wants to enter the palace to serve the queen mother, has persuaded Xiangguo, Xiangguo let me enter the palace today, I want to tell the queen mother, the queen mother took the initiative to speak, and the saint and the queen will not stop it." He lowered his voice more and more: "According to Xiangguo, Ren Shiniang has evidence and can expose it...... The queen has long rebelled against the queen mother, and the queen mother can never believe in the queen again! ”

Xie Shi was naturally surprised: "What evidence can Ren have?" ”

"I don't know the details, and you don't have to ask too much, just pass the word on to the Chang'an Palace."

"Isn't Mother confused? Because of being affected by the Queen Mother, her daughter has been deeply tabooed by the saints, and if she interacts with the Chang'an Palace again, won't the situation be more difficult in the future? If the clan father wants to inform the queen mother, why does he need his daughter to come forward? The eldest daughter-in-law of the patriarch, but the niece of the queen mother, enters the palace to pay respects, and the saint and the queen will openly stop it? ”

Roche sighed: "Why don't I know this truth? The reason why Xiangguo asked you to come forward is to force you to help the Queen Mother, you have been in Jinyang for many years, not following the orders of the Queen Mother, Xiangguo has been extremely dissatisfied, if you disobey again this time, Xiangguo will not be tolerant! If you don't obey the order, our mother and son will really cut off the way of life, and blame your brother for not being able to do anything, not to mention supporting the family business, how many gambling debts he owes outside, if it weren't for Xiangguo filling in for him over the years, I'm afraid that he would have sold the house early, don't say that the food and clothing are full, and the head must not be covered with tiles. ”

said and shed tears on the side: "You only want to be at ease and don't do your best for your family, where do you get how much favor in the end?" It's just a beauty, it's not as decent as Qi Zhaoyi, who broke the family, and it's been so far, do you still expect the grace of the Son of Heaven? Don't look at the Queen Mother has lost power, in the end it is still the mother of the Son of Heaven, there are still two major ministers outside, many officials respect, at least the Son of Heaven does not dare to snub the Chang'an Palace, if you can get the protection of the Queen Mother, a more stable foothold in the palace, not to mention, your brother and I can also be taken care of by the clan as a matter of course, so as not to have the pain of sending people under the fence. ”

In the end, her mother's words still moved Xie Meiren's heart.

The competition for favor was frustrated again and again, and the queen was completely offended, she had no way to retreat, and she could only exhaust her youth in the deep palace, lonely and lonely, but she was not willing to accept such an ending, although it was impossible for the Empress Dowager Wei to interfere in the government affairs, but only the Empress Dowager could restrain the queen, if she didn't expose it, then Ren Yaoguang had the rest of the ways to enter the palace, and the Empress Dowager would sooner or later find out about the queen's intentions, so why not obey the clan prince and save a few points in front of the Empress Dowager?

If only the Queen Mother had a way to bring down the queen...... Don't worry about it, at least there's no big threat.

"Ren Shi Niang, how do I remember that she is married, but at this time, she was ordered to enter the palace to serve the Queen Mother, what is her intention?" Although she was moved, Xie Meiren still had something to understand.

"Ren's wife is indeed married, and her husband is her uncle's cousin, but although Ren's uncle Lei Ting is loyal to the Queen Mother, her husband Lei Yangdi has attached He Chengtai through Yuan's children...... But you don't need to pay attention to these, even if there is no Ren Shi Niang, in the future harem, I am afraid that there will be fewer beautiful women? Don't be jealous and hurt the overall situation. Roche is "open-minded".

Xie Meiren looked at her mother and couldn't speak for a long time, and she had to complain about her life experience again.

She is her mother's only biological flesh and blood, and her younger brother is just born to a concubine, but her mother only plans for her younger brother, and wasted her ten years in Jinyang, for fear that her mother will not be tolerated by the clansmen and miss the opportunity to serve in vain, but now, complaining about these useless, Xie Meiren has to admit the truth of her mother's ruthlessness.

It is impossible for him to win the favor of the saint, but he doesn't have to care about Ren Shi Niang's intentions, and maybe the Son of Heaven can really be fascinated by Ren Shi Niang's beauty, and gradually separate from the queen, and then he will have the queen mother in the harem as a support, and it is not completely without opportunities.

Queen Liu, you can't stand me first, don't blame me for the calculation behind my back!

Xie Meiren is determined to do this.
