Zhen Ying glanced at it, overjoyed, hurriedly reached out to pick it up, and said continuously: "Yes, yes, that's it! Why is it here for you, and you don't take it out earlier......" Halfway through the words, a chill rose in her heart, and her eyes slowly rose along the sleeve of the person holding the puppet, and she saw Fu Lin standing in front of her with a cold expression, her face was like a layer of frost, and she was so frightened that the puppet that was only half of it fell off her hand, and took a few steps back, and the fear on her face had not disappeared. Fu Lin grabbed the puppet with his hand and said coldly, "So, you know the origin of this thing very well?"

Zhen Ying was so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word more, and Fu Lin was impatient to wait for her to answer, and raised her voice and shouted: "Deshou! Deshou!" It didn't take long for an old man with a white beard to drag to his chest and rushed in, and said: "The minister is here! The old minister sees the emperor, may my emperor ......."

Fu Lin made a straight face and interrupted: "Deshou, some time ago, I invited a few cronies to participate in the discussion, what gift to give to Concubine Yun is more novel, there are different opinions, and it is inevitable that it will fall into clichés, and finally you put forward the idea of wood carving." I know that you are proficient in miniature carving skills, so I handed over this task to you to undertake, how has it progressed so far?" The old man Deshou said: "The old minister obeyed the emperor's will, did not dare to slack off, rushed to work day and night, and finally completed it within the time limit set by the Emperor. It has been privately handed over to the emperor when he retired from the dynasty today, and you ...... How did you forget?"

Fu Lin sneered: "Is that really the case? What about ......" threw the two little puppets on the table together, and said, "This is from your craft, right?

Deshou trembled and probed his head, first saw Shen Shiyun's wood carving, and then looked at this proud masterpiece twice, raised his hand and pointed, and said: "Yes, isn't this the ......" I thought to myself, does the emperor think that I carved the mother is not beautiful enough? The next time he saw the puppets lying side by side, he was immediately shocked and said, "Your Majesty, this is ...... How could it be in your hands?" The tone was already frightened. Fu Lin snorted coldly: "This is for yourself." ”

Deshou frowned, pondered for a long time, and suddenly became enlightened, and said: "Your Majesty, the sin is really frightened! At that time, Concubine Zhen Niangniang once brought a portrait and asked the ministers to carve a man according to the pattern, and repeatedly told him to carve exactly the same, and the inspiration for suggesting miniature carving to the emperor came from this. also complains about the greed of the ministers, and should know that good things should not be too much, otherwise they will not be in a hurry. The minister hurried and hurried to finally complete the task, but at the last moment he made a big mistake, let my primary school apprentice classify and package, and because of carelessness, I forgot to check again, and as a result, the puppet that should have been dedicated to the emperor was mistakenly given to the concubine Niangniang, and the concubine Niangniang entrusted to the emperor...... Please forgive the emperor!Please forgive the emperor!" said and kowtowed.

Fu Lin sighed, waved his hand, and said gently: "That's it, it's not you, it's just because I have a good face, and I hurriedly stuffed it into my sleeves above the court, and I didn't look at it carefully." His tone suddenly changed sharply, and he said, "But what I don't understand, you said that this puppet was entrusted by Concubine Zhen, how could you find it in the Yinxue Palace?" Deshou said: "This...... The old minister really doesn't know. ”

Fu Lin glanced at Zhen Ying, and said lightly: "Concubine Zhen, who is this man?" Zhen Ying blushed with shame, remembering what she said not long ago, "Women in the palace should guard women's ways", but now they look more like their own hearts, moved their lips, and whispered: "Back to the emperor, concubines...... The concubines did not know either. Fu Lin sneered: "I don't know? For a stranger, you specially asked someone to paint a portrait and carved it for a wood carving collection? I don't know where your daily thoughts are used!"

Seeing that Zhenying was in an embarrassment, Yin Yin was anxious to protect the lord, and hurriedly helped to relieve the siege and said: "Emperor Qiqi, he is Li ......, the leader of the martial arts alliance Li Daxia. The master knew that Concubine Yun had important matters to discuss with him, and hoped to do his best for the country and the people, so he asked Mr. Deshou to carve this puppet, so as to teach Concubine Yun to give it to Master Li as a gift as a personal favor. ”

Although her intentions are good, in Zhenying's ears, it is no less than adding fuel to the fire, this exculpation is really full of loopholes, before she ridiculed Shen Shiyun in front of Fu Lin "There is no shortage of gifts" and "being a woman is enough", and said that she "is light and affectionate, and thoughtful", the implication is clearly that this gift is given by her wild man, it is impossible to have known about it for a long time, and she has helped her to do favors, only to be bitter.

Fu Linzi also thought of this, his face gradually showed disdain, and said: "Didn't Concubine Zhen say a while ago, is she sick?" Yin Yin said: "It's really sick, as for asking for Deshou, as well as purchasing boxes, etc., the slave and maid will take care of it." Fu Lin said: "Then the people who are looking around for portraits are also the people in your palace?" said and looked directly at Zhen Ying.

Zhenying had nowhere to hide, and there was no way to avoid it, so she could only agree: "Yes." Fu Lin flicked the sleeves of his robe and said, "The guards in your dormitory seem to be all empty and panicked, doing some boring things." There are no idlers in my palace, since you don't need these extra manpower, leave a few servants to serve food and daily life, and the rest are transferred to Yinxue Palace on errands, and are also responsible for guarding Concubine Yun's safety. Hu Wei, this new team will be under your control. ”

Hu Wei said loudly: "Obey the order! Fu Lin nodded, Hu Wei took advantage of his ignorance, secretly smiled at Zhen Ying, and said in a low voice: "Wonderful, really wonderful, lifting stones and smashing them at your feet one after another, such a good show is not something you have to see every day." ”

In this second round, Zhen Ying lost face again, was defeated, and returned again and again, but she didn't dare to underestimate Shen Shiyun anymore. But I feel that she is scheming, insidious and cunning, and she is really a fierce opponent who is not easy to deal with. blindly makes small tricks behind the scenes, and can only continue to suffer, so Zhenying decided to change her strategy and turn "secret fighting" into "open fighting".

On this day, she rushed to Yinxue Palace early in the morning, and saw many guards who had been on errands in her dormitory, and those people had new backers, and when they saw her, they all showed disdain. Zhen Ying endured her anger, thinking that if she imitated the shrews and scolded the streets here, it would not be worth ruining the image of these ungrateful beasts. With a backlog of resentment, he broke into the hall, grabbed Shen Shiyun's wrist, and pulled her away.

Hu Wei and Luo Jin pretended to step forward to stop them, and Hu Wei said: "Where does Niangniang want to take our master, I will explain it to the minions, so that the minions can have a good way." Zhen Ying couldn't help but get angry when she saw Hu Wei, thinking that it was all this dog slave who humiliated herself in front of the emperor, and said angrily: "Bold, what is this palace doing, do you have to report to you first?

Hu Wei smiled: "Don't dare." What you do is your freedom, and others can't persuade you. Zhen Ying snorted coldly and said, "It's good that you know." Hu Wei smiled and said: "Isn't that obvious? A person is hard-hearted, and he doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back, what can others do?

Zhen Ying hated this mocking tone that seemed to be a joke the most, and just wanted to scold, but she heard Shen Shiyun smile and say: "Hu Wei, don't be poor, it seems that Concubine Zhen's sister is very interested, and she always wants to invite the palace to go for a walk, so she visits one after another." As the saying goes, if you don't get back and forth, it's rude, and if we don't give back, we should always make peace, you tell you to go down, and say that the palace will go back. ”

Zhen Ying sneered: "Yes, this palace is not a flood beast, and you are afraid that I will eat her?" You are worrying on the side, the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry." Putting down the words, he pulled Shen Shiyun and walked out quickly.

The two of them walked all the way, a few points faster than the traveler in a hurry, and this kind of speed of walking was really unseen in the eons. Shen Shiyun pursed her lips and followed her closely without saying a word. When he arrived at a deserted place in the Royal Garden, Shen Shiyun suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "Sister Zhenfei, where are you taking me? Can we slow down? And a little panting.

Zhen Ying originally just walked with her head bored, listening to what she said, Fang raised her head and looked around, seeing that it was sparsely populated, she was satisfied, her arm shook hard, shook her away, and sneered: "Shen Shiyun, there are only you and me here, don't pretend anymore, okay?" This palace is not the emperor, and I won't impress you with such a pitiful little lamb appearance, and your crispy tone will only make this palace feel disgusting!"

The more Zhen Ying wanted to provoke her, Shen Shiyun was not annoyed, and still smiled quietly: "What is my sister talking about?

It's another thing if she really keeps it in the dark, but knowing that the other party is lying, the more she pretends to be innocent, the more angry she becomes. Zhen Ying sneered angrily three times, hugged her arms to her chest, flattened her lips and said: "I said that this woman of yours is not mixed up from the troupe? How can you sing so well? If you hate to scold me and kick me twice, this palace still feels that you are a real emotional outpouring, and I can afford to look at you a few more times, but you are too disguised, and even your self has been lost, which is also called pathetic. Don't you think that disasters have happened especially frequently by your side recently? All of this is a bureau set up by this palace, and I continue to use conspiracies and tricks to harm you so badly, don't say that you don't know that I did it, this palace doesn't believe that you will be so stupid!"

Shen Shiyun smiled lightly: "It's not difficult to guess, so what's not to think of?" Zhen Ying glared at her, nodded and said, "You are finally willing to be honest? Very good, since you know, how can you not be angry at all? Don't say that you don't hate me, I don't believe you are so generous." ”

Shen Shiyun said: "Isn't it boring to speak according to the lines you designed? 'Hate' is also one of the seven feelings, and it takes a lot of time, and you are not worthy of my thoughts. The emperor was so busy that he snubbed me a little, and it was all because of your troubles that he taught me to win back the holy favor. You are willing to sacrifice face, give up your self-esteem, and be a stepping stone for me to reach the top, how can I hate you?" she said, but her tone was also very sincere. Zhen Ying didn't want to admit that she was fighting, but she covered up: "I didn't fight this noble brain, the gentleman said yes, I just deliberately engaged in sabotage, who knows that you have avoided it all, I can only say that your luck is amazing......"

When Shen Shiyun heard this, his smile slowly receded, his face became gloomy, his eyes fell on Zhen Ying like two knives, and he interrupted coldly: "It should be said that it is because this palace is one step higher than you." All your actions are under my control, including everything you think and do, and they are continuing according to my train of thought, but you are so obedient, but it also teaches me to be boring, like watching a scene that I have already heard well. If you don't say some things, I'm afraid you won't be able to figure it out, so I'll make it clear to you, it's man-made, there are not so many coincidences in the world, just waiting for you to collide. Deshou was careless and sent the wrong puppet, you say that he is really old and confused? Doing things for the emperor, he will lose his head if he is not careful, he dares to be so sloppy? Take 10,000 steps back, can he not even tell which puppet has a box decoration?"

Zhen Ying also wondered how could Deshou make such a low-level mistake after working in the palace for many years and always being proper and thoughtful? At this time, Mao Sai suddenly opened his mouth and said angrily: "This was arranged by you! Did you buy Deshou early in the morning and let him deliberately say those words to confuse the saint?" Shen Shiyun smiled: "I didn't do anything either. You did ask him to 'carve a man', if people don't know, unless you don't do it, now he is truthful, and you are not wronged." There are people who deceive the Holy Hearing, but there is no need to say who they are. ”
