When I came out of Suiyuxuan to get the auspicious clothes, Pearl was still kneeling in Suiyuxuan.

Are you trying to scare the monkeys?

Zhen Huan said so much in my ears, but she actually looked down on me.

She wanted me to regret leaving Suiyuxuan and make it difficult for me to leave her protection.

Zhen Huan has an arrogant temperament, and few people can like her.

It's just that the arrogance of Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua is different. Concubine Hua relies on her family background, while Zhen Huan relies on her talent, learning and beauty to think highly of herself.

Otherwise, An Lingrong gave Zhen Huan so many things, why didn't Zhen Huan use them?

However, Zhen Huan's contempt for me just made me wake up to myself.

I went to look through the warehouse where Jifu was kept in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Although the concubine Jing wanted to be crowned a concubine, the emperor had never issued an edict, and the auspicious clothes were left in the Treasury of the Ministry of Internal Affairs once they were ready.

I was actually confused when I saw this Jifu in my last life, but I looked at it carefully this time.

On the outside, it looks like a concubine's auspicious dress, but in fact it is made from Queen Chunyuan's old clothes that the queen had prepared long ago.

But there's one thing I can't figure out. Whose hand did it borrow to put it in?

Although the warehouse of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is full of miscellaneous items, this room cannot be entered casually.

Before I could figure it out, I took the tray to the door of Sui Yuxuan.

He knelt on the ground and raised the tray high, "My maid, congratulations to Wan Chang Zai on his promotion to the imperial concubine. The auspicious clothes have been found. Please take a closer look at Wan Chang Zai."

I glanced at the pearls on the ground, and then said, "My lord Wan, on the way here, I saw the Qin Tianjian's sedan and drove it away. It would not be beautiful if word got out on the day of the concubine that your lord Wan treated the maids of the Ministry of Internal Affairs harshly."

Zhen Huan carefully checked whether there was any damage to the auspicious clothes, and waved her hand: "That's it, you all go back. After all, it is a good day for me to become a concubine."

When Pearl and I came out of Broken Yuxuan, Pearl's legs were limping a little, probably because she had been kneeling for too long.

"Huanbi, I really didn't scratch this Jifu."

Before I could ask, Pearl spoke directly.

There was still grievance on his face: "I took this errand this morning, so I put this Jifu on my bed. I thought that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is too close to Suiyuxuan and there is no place for small water."

"As you know, the Ministry of Internal Affairs drank porridge in the morning. I was afraid that I would make a joke on the way, so I went to relieve myself."

"When I came back, I sent it directly to Broken Jade Pavilion."

"Unexpectedly, Aunt Jinxi, who is next to Mr. Wan, took one look and said that the imperial concubine Jin's auspicious clothes were damaged and unknown."

"I've been on my knees since I went in."

I looked at Pearl's face and didn't miss her every expression.

I also felt in my heart that it shouldn't be a pearl, so I wouldn't put myself on the bright side.

Then he asked: "While you were going to relieve yourself, was there anyone in the house?"

Pearl shook her head: "No."

I hooked Pearl's ears and explained them in detail.

Finally, I said to Pearl seriously: "If you don't want to go to Suiyuxuan and kneel down, then make this matter more serious."

Pearl nodded and rubbed her legs again.

When I returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I hesitated for a moment and let Pearl walk in front of me. Enter the house slowly.

It happened to be dinner time at the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Jixiang, Linglong, Hongxiu, and Linlang are all here.

When he saw Pearl coming back, he asked, "What's going on? It's been so long since I went to Suiyuxuan to deliver a lucky suit?"

"The noble Suiyuxuan Wan is promoted to the imperial concubine today. Did he give you something as a reward?" Hongxiu asked jokingly.

With a smile on her face, Pearl took out a purse from her sleeve and said, "Yes, the noble Suiyuxuan Wan is very happy today and rewarded me with a full twenty taels of silver."

"Your Majesty Wan also said that I deliver the auspicious clothes quickly. When I become the concubine, I will be transferred to Suiyuxuan as an errand."

For a time, several little girls were envious.

"Wow, Pearl, if you ask me, your life is better."

"That's right, twenty taels of silver. How many months will it take?"

"Return to the monthly list, you are all shallow-sighted people. Do you know that everyone in the palace, the noble Suiyuxuan Wan, is the only one who is dear to the emperor's heart?"

"Now I have been promoted to a concubine. If Pearl goes to Wan Guiren, oh. No, Wan Concubine will be a big palace maid next to Wan Concubine. When she is old enough to leave the palace, she will be paired with a scholar."

I was outside the door and waited for them to finish speaking before entering the kitchen. "Pearl, you are a good person. Don't forget me when you have a good place to go."

"Oh, by the way, Pearl, go to my room and take out the wooden box."

Pearl went to my room and took out the wooden box given by Yunli. Inside was my mother's memorial tablet!

Hongxiu was a little surprised: "Huanbi, didn't I hear you say last time that Prince Guo gave you a Chang Xiao?"

"Why has it become a memorial tablet now?"

I sighed: "Now that things have come to this, it doesn't hurt to talk to you."

"We have such a deep relationship. The last time I took the wooden box, there happened to be other maids there. I'm sorry to say it."

"Don't you also want to see the envious expressions of the other little palace maids? In fact, what kind of person is Prince Guo? Why would he give me a jade flute?"

"I made it all out of thin air. It's just my mother's memorial tablet inside. I am now the aunt in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and have no relatives outside the palace. I don't want other maids to know about these things about me, so I fabricated this."

"When I woke up this morning, I felt that I couldn't hide it from you like this. If you went out and told some noble person about this, it would be another misunderstanding."

"This wooden box is a small matter, but you still have the reputation of lying to others and gossiping."

"pearl!"

Pearl next to me said "Hey!"

"Yesterday, a maid in the palace of Concubine Hua made a mistake and had her tongue cut off."

I also cooperated with this and said: "Yes, Pearl told me this last night, and I wanted to explain it to you at noon today."

"Don't get me wrong."

Hongxiu took my hand and said, "Huanbi, it's hard for you. You are alone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and you really have to think more carefully."

"Don't worry, there are only a few of us in this palace. I won't say a word like this to outsiders. I might bring disaster to myself one day!"

"Yeah yeah!"

Several other people had different thoughts, but they spoke in unison.

Today is the concubine ceremony of Suiyuxuan, and everyone who can be called the host went to watch it.

The palace people have also been transferred to the concubine ceremony.

Oh, I want to see who is the nail tonight.

I went to Huang Guiquan and explained my purpose of coming. I wanted to borrow some capable and trustworthy young eunuchs.

You don't have to do anything to help me guard every intersection leading out of Fulu Lane.

Huang Guiquan had no idea what I was using it for, but he readily borrowed it.

Since Huang Guiquan helped me, I will reciprocate and give you a few pointers.

If you don't listen, you will be punished by yourself.

"Eunuch Huang, you have been involved in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for many years, and you must have made some money on your hands. Have you ever thought about retreating bravely?"

Huang Guiquan was stunned: "Huanbi, what do you mean by this? But what news did you hear?"

"No, I just want to give Eunuch Huang a word of caution: when things go to extremes, they will inevitably turn against you."

"Expose your breasts more deeply. My father-in-law will think about it carefully, and Huanbi won't disturb you anymore."

Huang Guiquan looked at me: "Miss Xie Huanbi, please give me some advice."

I nodded, led the four eunuchs out, and told them to just guard the intersection of Fulu Lane leading to the palaces.

Just tell me what you see later.

If you send someone to do something, you must pay for tea. This is an eternal truth.

I gave each of my little eunuchs five taels of silver and beat them carefully.

"Everyone is in the hands of Eunuch Huang, so Huanbi can naturally be trusted."

As soon as the little eunuchs were guarding an intersection and still had oil and water to collect, they all beamed with joy.

"Aunt Huanbi, even if you don't give me any money, our brothers can still help you."

"How can I ask for your money?"

I pushed over and said, "My father-in-laws have worked hard and deserve nothing."

I went back to my room and thought about it carefully.

I just played the scene with Pearl, and I just want to know if the person "behind the scenes" knew that my wooden box did not contain jade flutes, would he go to Zhen Huan to report the news?

Will you panic when you know that the pearl you won at Broken Yuxuan is different from the torn Jifu you own? Want to find the person behind it for reassurance?

Let's see how the eunuch repays him.

Not long after, several young eunuchs came back one after another and whispered to me carefully.

Oh, it’s actually Jixiang and Hongxiu? But I don’t know who ordered it.
