Song Zhi Zuojin coughed lightly, interrupting the conversation between the three of them, seeing that it was Concubine Hua, Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang and Xia Chang knelt down in Duqi, An Lingrong bowed down for half a salute with respect to the number of courtesies, and then stood still behind Concubine Hua.

"The autumn garden is picturesque, but the good scenery is disturbed, which is really disappointing." Concubine Hua's tone was flat, but she didn't hear a little anger, her eyes fell on Xia Changzai, who was trembling, and a smile flashed in her eyes, "Xia Changzai is so majestic." Guan is often in the same position as you, and Shen Guiren is above you, so he is so arrogant. ”

Xia Chang was suddenly agitated, lowered his head, and didn't dare to reply.

"That's it, this palace is not that interested in enjoying the scenery. Songzhi, return to the palace. Concubine Hua sighed slightly, as if she had given up, and after seeing Xia Chang breathing a sigh of relief, her tone changed, "The palace made trouble on the first day of the meeting, Xia Chang is here, you kneel here for an hour and then get up." Zhou Ninghai, you stay here and watch. ”

Xia Changzai's legs were weak, he collapsed to the ground, and he couldn't stop begging for mercy after coming back to his senses.

Concubine Hua breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang on the other side: "The Xia family committed the following crimes, which is intended to be rude in the palace, and this palace is a small punishment and a big precept today, but the so-called slap can't make a sound, and the two of you can't escape the relationship, so close your doors and think about it." ”

Although the voice was soft, it fell on the ears of Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang like thunder, and the two of them should be in unison.

After finishing the cooking, Concubine Hua looked back at the gate of Jingren Palace, couldn't stop laughing twice, and left the long street with a step, An Lingrong followed closely.

She walked slowly past Zhen Huan, as if she was saying goodbye to herself in her previous life, and completely walked towards another life.

"Are you scared?" Concubine Hua walked slowly ahead.

An Lingrong looked respectful: "Concubines are not afraid." Seeing Concubine Hua raise her eyebrows and look at her, she said solemnly, "Niangniang is valued by the emperor, and she holds the power of the six palaces as an assistant, so she naturally has the responsibility of teaching and admonishing concubines." The huge harem, if you are blindly gentle and virtuous, you can't cure it, and if necessary, vigorous means are indispensable, the mother is heroic, and the concubines only admire, how can you be scared? ”

Concubine Hua was suddenly relieved, and spoke to An Lingrong a lot softer: "Since you have become a member of the palace, the palace will naturally be good to you, I originally wanted to take you to the imperial garden for a walk, but at this time the palace was disturbed, and I was too lazy to go, you go to play, Ming'er and Concubine Li will come to Yikun Palace to talk again." ”

An Lingrong showed a shy look of joy on his face, and walked towards the imperial garden with dill.

Song Zhi quietly looked up at Concubine Hua's expression, felt her mood, and said coincidentally: "An promised to be a little smart, Niangniang has a good eye, and she will definitely be able to have one more arm in the future." ”

Concubine Hua was also very satisfied: "The brain is bright, but the door is not high, and there is always a little stinginess on the body, so the palace has to mention her more." She naturally had other plans in her heart, "In the past few years, Cao Guiren's heart has become bigger and bigger, and this palace has to beat her, if this An clan can be cultivated for the use of this palace, under this palace, she and Cao Guiren can contain each other, and no one wants to escape from the palm of the palace." ”

Songzhi was a compliment.

And here, after Concubine Hua left, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang also left the long street in a hurry, and hid in the nearby imperial garden to avoid suspicion, while Zhou Ninghai took Xia Changzai to kneel on the side, and deliberately said loudly: "Xia Changzai has to kneel, my mother has always been the most important courtesy, if you make a mistake in the rules, be careful that the mother will be punished more heavily." ”

There are people coming and going on the long street, and whoever passes by has to take a look, Xia Changzai only felt extremely ashamed, and cried while kneeling.

Huichun hid in the corner of the palace wall and eavesdropped, his face twitched fiercely, and he hurriedly went back to the palace to tell the queen.

"Concubine Hua sent Xia Chang at the gate of Jingren Palace, and let her kneel like this, this is Ming Huang slapping your face!" Eharu was indignant.

"The Xia family is not sensible, so if it falls, it will fall." The queen flipped through the book in her hand casually, her face was cold, and she completely lost the smile when she met in the palace just now, "It's Fuzi, there has been no news of her in this palace for two days." Jianqiu, you asked people to go to Yikun Palace to inquire, but Concubine Hua punished her? ”

Fuzi is the palace maid who was given to Concubine Hua by the queen herself some time ago, with a general appearance and age, in order to add to Concubine Hua's blockage, if she is lucky, maybe she can still be favored by the emperor, but for some reason in the past few days, there is suddenly no news.

Jian Qiu should be, turned around and went out, and when he passed by the gate of Jingren Palace, he heard Xia Changzai's cry for help, and he kept skimming over without slanting his eyes.

The queen decided that Xia's "ignorance", and this chess piece was naturally kicked out.

In the imperial garden, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were worried in their hearts, they were still afraid of the other party's affairs, and they whispered something, when they suddenly heard a scream from the palace people, and An Lingrong, who was walking on the path, was also startled.

Shen Meizhuang stopped a eunuch and replied, and said sharply: "You talk well, don't scare others." ”

The eunuch swallowed his saliva and said: "Little master, the slave is from the Imperial Garden, and he came to check whether there is water in the various wells of the Imperial Garden on the order of the steward, but I didn't expect that when I first came here, I saw that there were ...... in the wells" The eunuch seemed to be very scared, and he couldn't say anything anymore.

Zhen Huan frowned: "I'll go over and take a look." ”

Shen Meizhuang hurriedly stopped her: "Don't go, be careful of unclean things." ”

"Don't worry, I'll come when I go and see." Zhen Huan didn't care, and insisted on watching.

An Lingrong's eyes flashed, he walked out from behind the shade of the tree, and grabbed Zhen Huan's hand: "Sister Guan, it's better not to look at it, there are too many pickled things in this palace, if you collide because of curiosity, it will outweigh the losses." ”

An Lingrong appeared coldly, startling Zhen Huan.

"This is, Sister An, right?" Shen Meizhuang recognized An Lingrong and greeted with his usual smile, "Sister An is also wandering around the Imperial Garden, but it is a coincidence. ”

"Unfortunately, my sister came to look for the two sisters on purpose." An Lingrong let go of Zhen Huan's hand, turned to look at the eunuch, and said coldly, "Your housekeeper didn't teach you, don't you hide your words when you go back to your master?" If you are always in the middle of nowhere, because of you, you can afford to be hit by dirty things? ”

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang looked at each other, and they were both shocked by An Lingrong's momentum, but the two of them were precious in the end and had gone through the world, so they didn't show half of their faces.

The eunuch was so frightened that he immediately knelt on his knees and replied honestly: "The little one knows his mistake." Don't look any further, for there are dead people in the well. The eunuch trembled, "I'm afraid it's been several days, and people are soaked and swollen......"

"Alright, no need to say it." An Lingrong saw that Zhen Huan's face was pale, and Shen Meizhuang's face was also stiff, so he hurriedly interrupted, "This matter is important, you hurry up and tell the queen and Concubine Hua." ”

The eunuch hurriedly retreated and went all the way towards Jingren Palace.

"Thanks to my sister's reminder today." Shen Meizhuang thanked An Lingrong, "In the future, we will all be sisters, and we will often sit in the palace, and we will talk together." ”

Zhen Huan used Shen Meizhuang's strength to avoid losing her manners, and pulled the corners of her mouth at An Lingrong: "Sister An just said that she came to find me and Sister Mei, but what is the matter?" ”

An Ling looked at Zhen Huan steadily, and said after a long time: "Sister Guan is beautiful, Sister Shen is beautiful, among the people who entered the palace this time, the two sisters are the most outstanding." You need to know that the gun shoots the first bird, this harem is a place to eat people, if the favor is too strong and the edge is too sharp, it will definitely be regarded as a thorn in the side, and today's things are hard to guarantee that they will not be fulfilled in the future on the two sisters. ”

Today, Xia Chang was punished to kneel in front of him, and the palace maid drowned in the back, neither of which was a good thing.

Shen Meizhuang slowly frowned, but Zhen Huan was thoughtful.

An Lingrong didn't intend to say too much, so he only bowed lightly and left the Imperial Garden.

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang walked back to the palace hand in hand, on the way, the two talked about it, Shen Meizhuang didn't care, and even speculated about An Lingrong's intentions: "With the posture of you and me, it is a matter of time before you and I are favored, An promised to be Concubine Hua's person, I am afraid that Concubine Hua is afraid that the two of us will share her favor in the future, so I specially asked An to promise to beat us." ”

Zhen Huan thought deeper: "Looking at Concubine Hua's neat methods that Xia Chang is here, I'm afraid she has a lot of power in the palace." Sister Mei, you and I have just entered the palace, so it's better not to compete with her. ”

"I won't hit her muzzle, but if I don't enter the palace for grace, then for what?" Shen Meizhuang's eyes were full of expectations for the future, shining in the sun, "If the emperor looks down on me, I will fight for it." ”

Zhen Huan nodded worriedly.

Shen Meizhuang didn't realize it: "According to the rules, from tomorrow night, the new little masters will prepare to sleep, and everyone is working hard for this first favor, and my sister doesn't have to think about other things." ”

Zhen Huan smiled reluctantly: "Then sister, hurry back to the palace." My sister is a nobleman, so maybe she was the first to go to bed. ”

Shen Meizhuang smiled shyly at the corner of his mouth, and glared at Zhen Huan angrily.

Here, An Lingrong hurriedly returned to Qixiang Palace, looking frightened, and was running into Concubine Li who was going out, which naturally provoked her to ask.

After learning that An Lingrong saw the dead man in the imperial garden, Concubine Li's face turned pale, and she turned her eyes, retracted her mind of going to Yikun Palace, and hurriedly waved her hand to let An Lingrong go back to Zichun Pavilion to rest, and then let Cuiliu sprinkle incense ash and salt to get rid of bad luck.

An Lingrong returned to Zichun Pavilion with the support of Dill, and there was no mistake in the corner of his eyes, and there was a touch of coldness in his eyes.

Concubine Li, I'm sorry.

I have to live.

Fuzi's death smashed a small circle of ripples on the calm water surface of the harem and then stopped moving, but it frightened the two newcomers in a row.

"Today's new palace concubines can sleep, does the emperor still plan to go to Concubine Hua?" In Jingren Palace, the queen tested the emperor's mind.

The emperor said in a deep voice: "Are you testing my mind?" ”

The queen smiled for a moment, and then said: "The concubines don't dare to speculate on the holy will, so let's ask the emperor to turn over the cards." "Raise your hand and summon the eunuch in the worship room.

The green head card was held in front of the emperor.

The emperor couldn't see half of the joy, his eyes were deep, he skipped from the green head card one by one, and didn't see the one he wanted, and he was immediately displeased: "What about the brand that Guan is always in?" ”

The eunuch in the respectful room stiffened his face and replied tremblingly: "If you go back to the emperor, this afternoon, someone from the Tai Hospital came to report that Guan is often frightened by palpitations, and he suddenly has a sudden illness, and he needs to be cut off and recuperate. ”

"Frightened with palpitations?" The emperor narrowed his eyes, and his voice was slightly raised.

"Concubine Hua sent Xia Changzai in front of Guan Changzai and Shen Guiren, and punished her for kneeling on the long street for an hour." The queen said slowly, seeing that the emperor didn't care, she continued, "In addition, the Fuzi next to Concubine Hua fell into the well for no apparent reason, and Wan Chang was passing by the Imperial Garden, I was afraid that I would accidentally collide and be scared." ”

The emperor raised his head to look at the queen and repeated: "Unclear? ”

Fuzi he has seen, that day when he went to the palace of Concubine Hua, there was a delicate and delicate palace maid standing at the door, thin, Chu Chu moving, he asked a few words, but it was a seventeen-year-old girl, looking very fresh.

"What did Concubine Hua say?" The emperor figured out the trick after a little thought, and there was anger on his face.

"It's a stumbling block." The queen hurriedly changed her expression of regret and heartache, "But Jiang Fuhai feels that something is wrong." ”

The emperor pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "The palace maid is also from the Eight Banners, Concubine Hua ......" The emperor snorted in embarrassment, and threw the question to the queen, "You can check it carefully." ”

The queen solemnly should be.

The emperor continued to scan the green head card, his brows jumped, and he was even more unhappy: "Why, the sign that Ann promised was not put up?" ”

Hearing the anger in the emperor's tone, the eunuch in the respectful room broke into a cold sweat: "Go back, go back to the emperor, Concubine Li Niangniang sent someone over and said that Ann promised to come back from the imperial garden in the morning, and the fever has not subsided in the afternoon, so she can't sleep." ”

The emperor's face was gloomy, and he was completely angry, and shook the string of jade beads in his hand: "Concubine Hua is really reckless this time, the queen must find out about the matter." ”

"Yes." The queen lowered her head and suppressed the smile at the corner of her mouth.

The emperor frowned, and his eyes wandered between the green cards: "Guan Chang is sick in He'an...... promised"

"Shen Guiren is fine." The queen spoke.

The emperor pursed his lips and reached out to turn over Shen Meizhuang's brand.
