The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

Concubine Wu originally wanted to invite the empress and other concubines to fight against Fang Wenhui with her as a bitter master, but now she has a hard job for no reason, and she can't help but regret that she was careless. Everyone in the palace is the master who cleans the door, who is willing to come forward for her ?Even if it's just dealing with a little beauty, it's not worth it in the eyes of other concubines.

Leaving Weiyang Palace, Wu Pin thought that maybe Fang Wenhui was secretly delighted to snatch the emperor from her at this moment, so she led people straight to Yuxiu Palace.

At this time, the early sun was rising, reflecting the glazed tiles on the main palace of Yuxiu Palace very dazzlingly.

Concubine Wu went to Concubine Qi's room first, determined to see if Concubine Qi really had the same heart as Fang Wenhui, and when she entered, she saw Fang Wenhui wearing a clear blue skirt kneeling by the bed and serving Concubine Qi's decoction. After saying hello, he smiled and said: "I was supposed to visit the imperial concubine with the Lord yesterday, but I didn't follow because I was afraid that there would be too many people and the turbid breath would disturb the imperial concubine."

Concubine Qi only thought that Concubine Wu was here to avenge her revenge. She patted Fang Wenhui's hand and said with a smile, "Thank you for being considerate. I'm fine, but Wenhui is too fussy. I just taught him a lesson yesterday. She shouldn't disturb the lord for a trivial matter."

Fang Wenhui took the handkerchief and carefully wiped the corners of Concubine Qi Gui's mouth, and said softly: "I know I'm wrong, it rained all night last night, and I don't think I can sleep well, so please rest quickly." Passed the medicine bowl To the maidservant, after she got up, she said to Wu Bin shamelessly: "Yesterday, I was concerned about it for a while..."

"The body of the imperial concubine is important, so there is nothing else to say. You and I go out and tell the empress to rest for a while." Wu Pin said, and took Fang Wenhui's hand to go out, all the way silent, thinking about what to do It was just right to say it, and saw a few unnamed women who also lived in Yuxiu Palace rushing to "pay respect" to Concubine Qi, and sneered in his heart, seeing that Concubine Qi died of illness, how would these useless women take care of her? Using Concubine Qi as a cover to compete for favor.After entering Fang Wenhui's room, he smelled a sandalwood fragrance, and then entered the inner room, and saw a jade Guanyin statue on the table.

"Hey, you are so young, but you are more honest than us old people." Wu Bin laughed.

Fang Wenhui lowered her head slightly and said: "This was rewarded by the Lord last night. To be honest, I was willing to be a substitute monk for the noble concubine last night in order to get blessings for the noble concubine. The Lord forbids it. I pray for the imperial concubine in my room."

Wu Concubine nodded, followed Fang Wenhui to wash her hands and put a stick of incense on the Bodhisattva, then took her hand and said, "I heard that you asked the Lord to pick the osmanthus Xia's brand, we sisters all clapped and applauded." People outside say that we concubines only know about luxury and lust, and don’t know the sufferings of the people, but who of them understands that we can’t help ourselves? We all know the tricks in the so-called imperial merchants, but there is no way to ask the Lord to deal with it.”

Fang Wenhui nodded, asked Concubine Wu to sit down on the chair she usually sat on, served tea in person, and said with a wry smile: "I'm not afraid that you will underestimate me. Since I was a child, I have to save every needle and thread, but it's not The monthly money given by the mother at home is not enough, it is really embezzled everywhere. If you ask the servants at the door to help you buy, they can ask for a penny for a penny, and bully us boudoir girls who don't know the market outside."

Wu Pin's eyelids twitched slightly, wondering if Fang Wenhui is really a cynical and solid eye?I also felt that I just told her about the fan, and she did it, but it was her Fang Wenhui who lifted the stone and hit her own foot; if she didn't do it, didn't she just tell others that Fang Wenhui's city is extremely deep?So she said what Concubine Zhong Shu said that she disliked that the characters on the fan were not vivid.

"Is there such a thing?" Fang Wenhui's eyes widened immediately. If she had been born taller, she would have taken the case at this time.

"Even I know outside the palace that all the utensils in our house are not the same, so that they appear honorable. Someone actually brought the exact same fan as a tribute to us?" Fang Wenhui sneered, already knowing that someone was going to take her When the gun is used, although she is not reconciled, she also understands that she has no backer at this moment. Instead of acting slickly and arousing suspicion, it is better not to break and not to stand.

Seeing that she reacted so strongly, Wu Pin was confused for a moment, suspicious of Fang Wenhui's acting, and didn't understand why she acted like this?In order to clear himself up, he said intentionally: "The concubine Shu is also what you say."

"Hmph! Is it true that the slave is bullying the master?" Fang Wenhui sneered again, and sat down opposite Wu Concubine with a slanted body, and immediately asked, "Chuntao, where is the master?"

Wu Pin's heart was pounding, and she secretly thought that Fang Wenhui's thoughts were so shallow, after hearing a few words, she was going to ask the emperor for orders?Unavoidably being dragged down, he hurriedly persuaded: "You are confused, today is the day of the palace examination, and the Lord is in the hall." He yawned intentionally again, excused that he couldn't sleep because of the noise of the wind and rain last night, and got up After that, he went away in a swaying manner.

Fang Wenhui closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Girl, it is said that the empress dowager has become angry about the meeting, and now..."

"What's going on now?" Fang Wenhui sneered in a low voice, and beckoned Chuntao to come over, and whispered: "The emperor and queen mother don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, it's just an excuse to harm Fang's family, and I should be charged with the crime It's light and light. It's enough for you to give me more Dai Quan." Speaking of disorderly politics, her mistake was too light.

Chuntao was really reluctant to ask Fang Wenhui to change from a proud beauty into a monk who became a monk for a weak noble concubine, but Fang Wenhui was calm and thought that she must have a plan in her heart, so she agreed.

Because of the palace examination, Fang Wenhui was not allowed to see the emperor for more than half a month. After the palace examination was released, she learned that Xu Yuheng had won the number one prize, and Li Bizhou was also at the top. So Fang Wenhui took the title of her brother-in-law's gold list and competed. Send Chuntao to invite Shui Mu.

It was probably to give some thin noodles to the Xu family and the Li family. Shui Mu really came, and before entering the door, he laughed loudly: "The Xu family really has a lot of talents, so Xu Yuheng is really talented."

Fang Wenhui hurriedly went out to greet her, and said with a light smile, "This is the origin of the Xu family's family education, even our family can't match it."

"I just heard that Xu Yuheng's wife died on his wedding night? Such a talent, but he suffered such a disaster. Choose a good family for him some other day, and ask him to serve the country safely after he gets married." Shui Mu said with great enthusiasm.

Fang Wenhui personally opened the curtain to invite Shui Mu in, and said with a light smile, "I'm afraid the Xu family will thank the Lord for his kindness."

"Oh, why?" Shui Mu asked puzzled.

Fang Wenhui said with a smile: "I don't know what kind of concubine it is, I guess it's just a sentence of 'I was at a loss at the time'. I am afraid that I will learn a lot of wisdom, and I am afraid that brother Xu Jiayuheng will not marry if I don't make it very clear."

Shui Mu said with a smile: "I just said that their family has a lot of talents, and now they are pedantic again. How can there be so many horns to drill?" As soon as the words fell, Fang Wenhui knelt on the ground with a thud, and immediately said in a daze: "You What's the matter?"

Fang Wenhui knelt straight on the ground, raised her head and said, "I implore the Lord to pick up the household department of the Jiangnan Fan Workshop. I have asked all the sisters in the palace for half a month, but no one is satisfied with the fan purchased by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Folding fan."

"No one is satisfied?" Shui Mu was startled.

"Yes, I implore the lord to ask someone to choose another fan workshop for tribute. It can't be used in our palace, but it is not as good as the ones used in the streets of Shijing. If things go on like this, everyone will take the imperial use as a scam, and it will also damage the majesty of the royal family. "Fang Wenhui's words are gentle, but her demeanor is very impassioned.

Shui Mu was completely stunned, it was his order to pick the Xue family brand, and he picked the sweet-scented osmanthus Xia family brand to show his favor to Fang Wenhui.Just saying that no one in the palace is satisfied, this is thought-provoking.Then, he couldn't help thinking about Fang Wenhui's intentions, and secretly thought that he boasted that he was quite capable of judging people. Could it be that he was mistaken this time and took Fang Wenhui's impetuous eyes as pearls?

Feeling a little unwilling to admit that he had lost his sight, Shui Mu decided to put a long line to catch big fish, to see what Fang Wenhui's intentions were, so he nodded again, and said, "Order someone to do it."

"Thank you, Lord." Fang Wenhui raised her head and said gratefully. After getting up, she served Shui Mu more tenderly and tenderly, and secretly sent Chun Tao to order the fifth prince to go outside Qi Guifei's room early in the morning.

After a night of cloud and rain, the next morning, when it was dark, Fang Wenhui got up to send water to bathe out of Yuxiu Palace. When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he heard faint sobs, and within five steps, the fifth prince secretly wiped his tears with his back .

"What's wrong with fifth brother?" Shui Mu asked puzzled.

The fifth prince turned around after a shock, forced a smile and said: "I didn't know that the father is here, the child is rude."

Seeing his red and swollen eye sockets, Shui Mu frowned slightly.

Fang Wenhui hurriedly said: "Why is the prince crying again? The imperial doctor came yesterday, didn't it mean that your mother's health has improved?"

Shui Muxin said that it turned out that the fifth prince was crying because he felt sorry for his mother.Everything in the world is true and false, especially in the palace, everything is true and false.This time, Zi Shui Mu was determined to be confused once, seeing the Fifth Prince crying pitifully, he hugged him lovingly and said, "Don't cry, your mother and concubine will feel distressed again after showing this appearance." The prince patted on the shoulder, and then said a few words of comfort, "There is no morning court today, I will go with you to the study to listen to the old man's lecture." After that, he led the fifth prince and went away with kindness and filial piety.

"...in the future, the Fifth Prince will remember the beauty's kindness." The little eunuch on the gate of Yuxiu Palace muttered.

Fang Wenhui glanced at him, said nothing, went to Qi Guifei's room by herself, and sent someone to urge Chang Sheng to cooperate with the household department to pick up the name of Fanfang.

The fan shop was also taken away, and for a while everyone in the palace couldn't sit still watching Fang Wenhui's posture of wanting the wind to win the wind and the rain to win the rain. When the empress dowager paid her respects, she mentioned a few words in a secretive way.Afterwards, the concubines in the palace followed suit and began to criticize the things in the palace.

Because of Fang Wenhui, Chang Sheng cut off his fortune one after another, and felt unhappy, so he turned a blind eye and closed his eyes to make a big deal out of it. He heard the concubine mention that something filial from outside was not good, and he was secretly told by the Supreme Emperor , So I immediately sent someone to the Ministry of Accounts to pick up the brand; and deliberately delayed not asking the Ministry of Accounts to choose a replacement merchant.

So half a month later, after the Dragon Boat Festival, the sky gradually became hotter. Chang Sheng deliberately reminded the concubines in the palace not to use the fans of previous years, but to fan the wind outside with a handkerchief; fruit.In short, everyone put the crime on Fang Wenhui's head.

Sure enough, under the steaming heat, the concubines and concubines who used to be rich and comfortable in the harem began to complain again and again. Suddenly one day they heard that the Supreme Emperor had a heat stroke, and all the concubines and chief executives immediately reunited in the empress dowager's bedroom.

The concubines waited in the spacious porch in front of the door, and the stewards stood in the sun anxiously clasping their hands.

When everyone saw Shui Mu hurrying over in a bright yellow dragon robe, the expression on his face became more and more anxious.

"It's fine, how could the Supreme Emperor suffer from heat stroke?"

As the saying goes, when the emperor was angry, blood flowed.

Seeing Shui Mu getting angry, everyone shrank back and did not dare to speak, but when they shrank, they felt a little gloating.

Shui Mu looked at Chang Sheng coldly: "Could it be that there is less ice for the Supreme Emperor?"

Chang Sheng hurriedly said: "The Supreme Emperor takes good care of his body, he is not like ice. In the past, he only liked to eat some melons and fruits from the well water to cool off the heat. This year, the fruits are gone, so..."

"How come the fruit is gone? Didn't the last one just put in fresh apricots and plums?" Shui Mu frowned, although he was a bit at odds with the Supreme Emperor, how could he dare to ask for the accusation of heat stroke for the Supreme Emperor?

"Returning to the Lord, the Supreme Emperor heard that there are few melons and fruits this year, and he secretly told the subordinates, only saying that it's okay to lose his, the Lord takes care of everything every day, and the Lord's can't be missed." Chang Sheng bowed and sighed.

Shui Mu felt helpless, knowing that the Supreme Emperor was going to make an excuse, and said again: "Why are there less melons and fruits?"

"My lord, Fang Meiren proposed to get rid of the disadvantages of court worship, so..." Chang Sheng stammered.

Shui Mu understood the reason more and more, stepped forward, walked to the corridor, saw the faces of all the concubines dripping with sweat, but no one was holding a fan to enjoy the coolness, and sneered again in his heart, after entering the door, he went to the inner room , I saw the empress dowager sitting on the precious couch with a cold face, and the empress dowager lay quietly on the bed with only one wrist stretched out to call the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

"My son is not filial, and I have brought trouble to my father." Shui Mu stood beside the bed and bowed, "I will immediately ask the Ministry of Households to send melons and fruits to the people who attacked melons and fruits in name."

The Empress Dowager on the bed waved her hand slightly, and the Empress Dowager sitting on the couch said angrily: "Emperor, as the king of a country, how can you go back on your word? Even if we two old people don't eat or drink, we can't ask you to change the order!"

"Not my next order..."

"It wasn't you who started it, who dared to pick off the plaque enshrined by the court?" The empress dowager said sternly after looking at the brocade tent from the corner of her eye.

Shui Mu couldn't argue for a while, the matter of the Zhongyi Palace would be over, and he had no intention of confronting the Supreme Emperor at this time, but Chang Sheng of the House of Internal Affairs actually bypassed him, and he would not be able to stay in the future.Thinking about it, he lowered his hands and said: "Although the queen mother is thinking about her son, if the queen father and queen mother suffer, I will really feel uneasy."

"Hey. The matter has come to this point, we are okay. The most important thing is to shut up the mouths of the people in the world, so that the people in the world can't think that the emperor is a fool who disturbs his parents after hearing a few words from a woman!" The empress dowager said loudly and authentically. .

Shui Mu's eyelids twitched when Hunjun's big hat was pressed down, "I also ask the mother to tell my son how to make up for it."

The Empress Dowager turned her head and looked at the bed, and said softly, "How to fix a dead sheep? That is, we can't make people laugh at us! Those merchants thought that there was nothing in our palace, so they demanded it from them. They are dreaming! Send people Then go and choose the merchants! As for the black sheep stable beauty, if she is dealt with at this moment, it will hurt the emperor's reputation, making people think that the emperor has made some mistakes. According to me, since she is willing to be Qi Guifei's substitute To practice, tell her to practice in the palace! If she hadn't started it first, who would have the guts to find fault with the things in the palace? She is the only one who hides dirt and evil in the world, but she can't tolerate sand in her eyes? "

"...Yes." Shui Mu didn't feel that this matter was inappropriate, and immediately agreed, and only sighed that it turned out that he did not know people clearly, and mistook a frivolous master who was favored and frivolous for a handsome and wise man.If she hadn't been frivolous, hadn't let others take advantage of it, followed troubled waters to make things worse, there wouldn't be such ridiculous things now.Although I still have doubts in my heart, I don't care to think about it again.

"Your father and I are old and well-informed. Ask our people to select merchants. I'm afraid no one will dare to say bad things about the selected ones. I don't know what you think?" The empress dowager leaned forward slightly. ask.

Shui Mu was silent for a while, knowing that if he agreed to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it would fall into the hands of the Supreme Emperor, and when he refused to agree, he heard the moaning voice on the bed, disdainful of the tricks played by the Supreme Emperor, and saw the empress dowager's stern words Later, he showed a look of embarrassment, knowing that the empress dowager was in a dilemma, and also understood that the empress dowager just wanted to fight for power and had no intention of murdering his son, so he said: "Just listen to the empress mother, I guess there is a empress mother." Sitting in town, those frivolous people no longer dare to pick things in the palace."

The empress dowager nodded lightly when she heard the words. After she nodded, she couldn't help but suspect that Fang Wenhui was actually the emperor's person. Otherwise, the emperor and the loyal princes were thinking about how to use the royal merchants to make money in the name of the emperor, and Fang Wenhui would start to be picky. In the House of Internal Affairs, although she did not dare to tell Shui Mu about the Supreme Emperor's affairs in secret, it was inevitable that Fang Wenhui would deceive Shui Mu, and in the future she would act on behalf of the Supreme Emperor, and said: "Left and right, I will also worship the Buddha and call that beauty Fang to come to Japan." Let’s chant Buddha’s name every day.”

"Yes." Shui Mu agreed again, and in order to show his filial piety, he immediately sent Dai Quan to Fang Wenhui to deliver a message.

After a while, Dai Quan said back and forth: "Fang Meiren has brought people over." He secretly looked at the bed, saw that the emperor was not moving through the curtain, and saw that the empress dowager and Shui Mu were all worried, hesitating, and pressed the button. He pressed the purse that Fang Wenhui gave him on his chest, determined to hide Fang Wenhui's happiness from him.
