Wake up from a nap in the afternoon, Zhongqiu is guarding the smoke cage to keep warm, she is now the palace maid in charge of Guangyang Palace, she no longer has to work hard about those trivial affairs, Qi Zhaoyi is the most trouble-free master, she is not so picky, such as fat powder incense and other consumption, she has always used the palace department directly, and the dress, handkerchief, fan, etc. are not handed over to the maids to embroider and tailor, Zhongqiu usually just serves Zhaoyi's daily life, and recently even dressing and bathing and other work, Qi Zhaoyi no longer let her do it.

Although it is a cold winter, Qi Zhaoyi still has an idle temperament, looking at the rain and snow for several days, it is easy to look forward to the sunshine, and she went to the field to run a horse and bow to move her muscles, but she knew that Zhongqiu has always been afraid of cold, and she is the most lazy to keep fit, so she did not let Zhongqiu accompany her today, and specially asked her to stay in the palace.

Zhongqiu originally held a handful of fans, slow needle embroidery, her female red did not grow, often embroidered a thing, it is not as good as the needlework bureau to produce exquisite products, do these handicrafts, all to pass the time.

Suddenly heard someone greeting, glanced at the door curtain, lightly picked, there was a woman in a long red dress, Zhongqiu recognized her as a handmaid who specializes in pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Sheng Fei, put down the needle and thread, and flew into the seat while greeting the voice, while picking out the tea fruit, the hospitality was very warm.

This Shengfei is not an old servant of the Qiandi, he used to be a palace person who belonged to the Shangyi Bureau, and later transferred to the Guangyang Palace, because he knew the words, Qi Zhaoyi let her serve in the study, Shengfei has a lot of eight-sided exquisite intelligence, several years of experience in the deep palace, the more he can observe the face, the popularity in the Guangyang Palace is very good, and the mid-autumn treatment of her is also very friendly, the two often say some thoughtful words, and gradually become close to each other as sisters.

Zhongqiu was older, so he was concerned at this time: "Look at you, the weather is so cold, don't wear an extra coat, hurry up and sit on the edge of the smoked cage." ”

Sheng Fei smiled: "I'm not as afraid of cold as Sister A, when I was a child, I lived in Shuozhou, which was much colder than Chang'an." ”

Hearing her talk about the north, Zhongqiu couldn't help but shudder: "A few years ago in Taiyuan, I was most afraid of winter, and I had to take care of Zhaoyi, so many years, I have never suffered from a disease due to wind and cold, at that time I didn't expect to be able to return to Chang'an, thinking that in this life, I would stay in Taiyuan, all day long, I was sad, I was reprimanded a lot, and Zhaoyi comforted me." ”

"Zhaoyi is lenient and friendly, especially for Sister A, looking at the general maintenance of the family, not mentioning the Guangyang Palace, just talking about the Daming Palace, the entire court bureau, I don't know how many palace people envy Sister A, they also know that the Guangyang Palace is the lightest, and the rewards are more generous than elsewhere." Sheng Fei echoed with a smile, and while leaning towards Zhongqiu, he lowered his voice secretly: "Zhaoyi treats Sister A well, Sister Sister is naturally sincere to Zhaoyi, but Sister Ah rarely goes out during this period of time because of her fear of cold, maybe I haven't heard that the saint actually pampered the Lu Cairen who entered the palace this year, and ordered him to be named Jieyu, and specially gave the title as the end, praising Lu Jieyu for her good character and courtesy, which shows the love of the saint." ”

"Even if I don't go out, how can I not hear anything about such a big thing." Mid-Autumn sighed.

This sigh obviously revealed Zhongqiu's anxious mood, which greatly encouraged Shengfei, and also sighed: "Although Jieyu is still under the nine concubines, but Jieyu is very favorable, sooner or later she will be promoted to the concubine position, and if she gives birth to a prince, she will definitely be promoted to the concubine position, so it is inconvenient to have a higher grade than Zhaoyi." ”

"Zhaoyi doesn't care about the rank of others, and he has never been the kind of person who is competitive."

"But didn't Sister also say that Zhaoyi admires the saint, but because she doesn't want to harm the queen, she has been hiding this heart? Don't say that Sister is sad and worried about Zhaoyi, even we slaves and maids, can't bear to look at Zhaoyi such a good person, lonely and old in the deep palace, I heard that Duan Jieyu is favored, at first because of the pressure of the Queen Mother, the queen was forced to helpless, so she had to agree to arrange Duan Jieyu to serve in the Zichen Palace, and then made a fuss about the Taile Ling Dynasty Association, the saint was furious, and treated the Shen father and daughter for the crime of spying on the palace, originally the palace people thought that the saint was single-minded to the queen, and would not spoil others, but he still won the opportunity by Duan Jieyu. ”

The news of Mid-Autumn has never been sound Fei, and Qi Zhaoyi usually does not allow her to go into the camp to investigate, although she knows why the Shen family was convicted, but she didn't expect that there are so many complicated entanglements behind Duan Jieyu's favor, and then the sigh is deeper: "You were not in the palace in the past, I don't know how the saint has been in love with the queen for ten years, I really didn't expect it, how long has it been, the saint has changed his original intention, and this is not a rare thing, the saint is the supreme in the world, and the rain and dew are applied to the harem It is reasonable, but Zhaoyi is stubborn, thinks that being favored is to rebel against the queen, it is ungrateful, shy and shameless, but now it is good, Zhaoyi is willing to fulfill the queen, but he was robbed of the opportunity by others. ”

"Zhaoyi is stubborn, Sister has to plan for Zhaoyi, now there are so many newcomers in the palace, all of them are young and beautiful, and for a long time, when Zhaoyi grows older, won't she lose her chance? At that time, it will be Zhaoyi's repentance, and it will be too late to regret it. ”

"Then Zhaoyi has to listen to our advice." Mid-autumn was also anxious.

"Sister, why don't you go and ask the queen? As long as the queen understands Zhaoyi's heart and is willing to help from the side, and the saint takes the initiative to summon luck, Zhaoyi is emotionally attached to the saint, will she refuse for a thousand miles? Shengfei finally said the plan.

But Zhongqiu hesitated: "The queen really wants to help?" That Jieyu is newly favored, the queen must also feel resentful, if I go to the queen at this time, maybe the queen will misunderstand that Zhaoyi instructed, if it blames Zhaoyi instead......"

"The queen has always treated Zhaoyi kindly, how can she not know what kind of character Zhaoyi is? Moreover, the current situation is not as good as before, Duan Jieyu is favored, and the queen needs others to contain Duan Jieyu, in terms of intimacy, Zhaoyi can be called the first choice! Sheng Fei used all her strength to instigate, and saw that although Zhongqiu was still frowning, her eyes were alive, and she was obviously very moved, so she used the method of agitation again: "It's just that in this way, Zhaoyi will inevitably know that Sister Ah is making her own opinion, and I am afraid that Sister Ah will be blamed by Zhaoyi." ”

"As long as it is beneficial to Zhaoyi and can help Zhaoyi's wish be fulfilled, don't say that you are blamed, even if you lose your life, it is worth it." Zhongqiu finally let go of her brows, firm in her determination, and blamed Qi Zhaoyi for protecting her too well, when she was in the palace, Zhongqiu didn't realize how difficult and dangerous it was in the Jin Palace, because she was a few years younger than the rest of the maids, and then Eleven Niang treated Qi Ji more and more kindly, and the master and servant were not worried about the impending disaster, Zhongqiu didn't know the conspiracy at all, how could she see through Sheng Fei's seemingly loyal face, what evil intentions were hidden?

As soon as she made up her mind, she immediately took action, taking advantage of Qi Zhaoyi's absence in Guangyang Hall at the moment, and actually flew to Penglai Palace.

Coincidentally, today, Ah Lu entered the palace to say hello, at this time she was talking with Eleven Niang, she originally knew Mid-Autumn, Eleven Niang at first only thought that Mid-Autumn was on behalf of Qi Zhaoyi, so she did not avoid Ah Lu, who knew that Mid-Autumn was brought in by Roujie, knelt on the ground and began to sob, Eleven Niang realized that things were not as simple as she thought, although Ah Lu was married, but suddenly she still felt that she was still a maid beside the queen, seeing the shape of Mid-autumn, she subconsciously opened her mouth to admonish: "But what difficulties did Qi Zhaoyi encounter?" Even if you are anxious, you should not cry in front of Your Highness, stop crying quickly, and report that it is important to get down to business. ”

Zhongqiu relied on his lonely bravery, and suddenly he didn't even feel that there was anything wrong with Ah Lu's presence, so he just defended himself: "The slave and maid are unceremonious, and they are willing to be punished by His Royal Highness, and they dare not ask for forgiveness. ”

told Qi Zhaoyi what he had been concealing, and begged the queen to fulfill it.

Ah Lu is now married to a clan wife, and she knows very well that she can't spy on the precepts of the palace, but Jia Cheng's canonization is not a hidden thing, don't say that her uncle Jiang Yu is the chief of the chamberlain, just talking about the relationship between He Yan, Ah Lu naturally heard about this matter, she entered the palace today, because she was worried that the queen would be depressed, and she deliberately said funny words to comfort, how did she know that a wave of unsettled was unsettled, and she actually came out in mid-autumn, begging the queen to give Qi Zhaoyi the opportunity to serve her favor.

Ah Lu used to be a palace man and was familiar with the palace rules, how could he not know that no matter what the queen's wishes were, Zhongqiu had already violated a taboo by doing so, which would put aside the rest of the queens, maybe he would order Zhongqiu to be killed with a cane, and even Qi Zhaoyi would be implicated.

But although Alu's current identity is different from that of a servant, after all, he still hurts his heart, and he can't bear to see Zhongqiu lose his life, so he reprimanded again: "Although your servant is loyal to the main, but it is too reckless, and now it is in Daming Palace, it is not comparable to the palace in Jinyang City......"

At this point, I suddenly realized that I was no longer a close attendant of the queen, so how could I be qualified to go beyond the guilt? Not to mention that she still had the idea of excusing Zhongqiu, Ah Lu's scalp was numb, and she hurriedly pleaded guilty: "The concubine is trespassing." ”

Eleven Niang calmly helped Ah Lu up, and then asked Zhongqiu: "If according to you, when you were in the palace, Ah Qi gradually admired the saint, why did you ask me until this time?" ”

Until this time, Zhongqiu was reluctant to fly in a row: "The slave maid was fortunate to see Duan Jieyu, so this is ......"

"Zhongqiu, I know Ah Qi very well, I can trust her to value love and righteousness, so I will not blame her, I also know your consistent temperament, if there is no instigation behind the back, you will never make your own assertions, Ah Lu Fang is trying to intercede for you, but she scolded you for what she said, you must know that Ah Qi, as a harem concubine, is not guilty of admiring the saint, but in order to gain the favor of the saint, it is taboo to do conspiracy and affiliation with the party, so that there are no outsiders now, otherwise you are loyal, but you put your master in a dangerous situation, give you advice, and instigate you to ask for me, If you have ill intentions, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not secretly harm Zhaoyi in the future, and for the sake of Qi Zhaoyi, you should no longer hide and shield this person. ”

In mid-autumn, he woke up like a dream, and explained the truth in a cold sweat.

Shi Niang said again: "You go back, don't startle the snake, I have my own way to decide this matter, and I don't need to tell Aqi for the time being, you have this trip today." ”

After Mid-Autumn retired, Ah Lu said embarrassedly: "The concubine has always known that His Royal Highness is tolerant and generous, and he shouldn't have done it too much. ”

"It's your true temperament." Eleven Niang smiled slightly, and quipped: "In the past, you have witnessed my decision to kill, and my hands have not been stained with the blood of others, not to mention that now it is in Daming Palace, when it is not the same as the palace?" As for me, I have always disdained the kindness of women, but if I am forced to do so, I still have a sense of it, and I always think about being born as a human being, so why should I become a hell for others? ”

Just as you live and die, it often leads to the same death, but is what people want to die when they are born?

In fact, Eleven Niang has never been keen on fighting, let alone using her life as a bet, if she can live, she will naturally not seek death, so in the same way, if she can live, why let others die.

Therefore, even if she knew that the person Ah Lu was really loyal to was He Ye, but because Ah Lu was struggling in the conspiracy and sinister all the way, and still retained the compassion of things and injuries, she still liked Ah Lu and liked her warm-heartedness.

As if in this way, his heart will not be completely cold.
