[Comprehensive] The glory of the traitorous concubine

When the water-soluble confession is over, the sky is also dark.

Holding the piano outside the door, she was so anxious that she knocked on the door three or four times before pushing Shui Rong away.

After driving the others away, she walked over to Xiao Zhang with her hands clapping her chest. It was winter, and she was so frightened that even her bangs were wet with sweat on her forehead.

Xiao Zhang glanced at her, and teased, "Since he was afraid of this, why did you bring him in? Just use a broom to drive him out!"

"My good girl!" Baoqin roared silently, "That's the Prince of Beijing!"

Xiao Zhang giggled and said, "Where, why do I look like Princess Beijing?"

Holding the piano, wanting to cry but without tears, after pondering for a while, he finally agrees with Xiao Zhang's words: "Your lord disguised herself as a woman, it's very pretty..."

The master and servant laughed together, at this moment, someone came outside the house, it was Qingzhi.

The smile holding the piano stopped suddenly, and he said displeasedly: "Didn't I tell you to make silk flowers for the master? Why did you come here?"

Qingzhi cried: "Sister Baoqin, please forgive me, I just came to talk to you about this matter."

She held out two fluffy silk flowers. Although the silk material is good, the workmanship is extremely poor, which is at the same level as Xiao Zhang's embroidery when he first arrived on Earth.

Baoqin has no idea in front of Xiao Zhang, but he can put on airs in front of the court ladies: "Hey? You don't know how to make silk flowers, so you still have the nerve to take care of the master's outfit?"

Qing Zhi was so guilty that she buried her head very low.

Xiao Zhang thought for a while, then waved to her and said, "Come here."

When Qing Zhi moved over slowly, Xiao Zhang said again: "Stretch out your hand."

"Master..." Qing Zhi suddenly raised her head, hesitating and refusing to reach out.

Baoqin grabs Qing Zhi's hand doubtfully, it's okay if she doesn't look at it, but she is startled when she sees it, no one is good, old wounds and new wounds are all over her fair little hand.

Baoqin is not too strict a person, he nodded upon seeing this and said: "Well, well, it seems that you really don't know how to do needlework. Forget it, you just pick a few colors that match the master's clothes, and let the servants people do it."

Qingzhi nodded in agreement, and said in a low voice: "Sister Qingyan is very good at needlework, I'll go and ask her..."

Baoqin said impatiently: "Come on, come on, you have to make such a trivial matter in front of the master, don't see what time it is."

Qingzhi Dameng let out an "Ah" as if waking up for the first time, slapped her head and said, "I almost forgot the business! The servants are here to report to the master that the emperor is staying at the Palace of Mercy for dinner tonight, and it's time to turn over in time." brand, the emperor chose Zhou Guiren at the behest of the empress dowager..."

Holding the piano for a moment, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Xiao Zhang.She was afraid that her daughter would be angry, so she was ready to rush up to comfort her, but Xiao Zhang just nodded indifferently: "Well, I see, you go down."

After Qingzhi exited the room, she hugged Qin and licked her dry lips, and called out cautiously: "Girl?"

"En." Xiao Zhang responded, frowned slightly and said, "Holding the piano, don't you think it's strange?"

Baoqin's heart skipped a beat, her girl's calmness was just pretending, and she still cared about the emperor's summoning of Mrs. Zhou!

It's strange, it's quite strange, since Jia Yuanchun was named a virtuous concubine more than half a month ago, the emperor has never been to other people's houses, why did he suddenly go to Zhou Guiren's place today.But since the emperor had dinner in the queen mother's palace, it's not surprising, after all...

Thinking of this, Baoqin was stunned suddenly, and said in shock: "What does the girl mean?!"

"Qingzhi knows too much in detail." Xiao Zhang said in a low voice: "On weekdays, if we want to know whose brand the emperor turned over, we can only find out one result, but Qingzhi is a little maid..."

Baoqin answered: "Miss, what do you mean, Qingzhi is from the emperor's side?"

Xiao Zhang glared at her resentfully: "...What nonsense. What is the emperor putting eyeliner on me for? I just think that Qingzhi's background is not simple."

Baoqin replied: "Girl, don't bother, I will help you take care of her."

Xiao Zhang nodded and said: "Well, in fact, she is also very kind, and she is caring enough for me... Maybe I am overthinking. She is just more serious in her work, and she likes to dig into the horns. She just asks for details. It's like choosing clothes for me. , in order to find the perfect suit, she went to the clothing department to supervise the work early in the morning before dawn, running around panting. It was like embroidering silk flowers for me. Even if she had no talent, she would still poke her fingers Embroider the most beautiful one until you are sure you can't make it..."

Baoqin also hesitated: "Young lady said so, it's really true."

Xiao Zhang yawned, waved his hands and said: "Okay, I don't want to. I'm sleepy, I'll talk about what I have to do tomorrow, you should go and have a rest."

……

The next day is the day for the concubines to greet the queen.Recently, the harem has been constantly going up and down, demoting a Yu and agreeing, punishing a concubine, the queen mother quarreling with the concubine, Concubine Wu and the concubine falling out... It seems that every disturbance is related to the word concubine.

Everyone looked at Concubine Xian with "scary" eyes, but Concubine Xian was not conscious at all, and continued to drink tea leisurely.

The queen suffered from angina again, and had no energy to deal with the concubines, so she sent Nanny Gui to send them out early before showing up.

Xiao Zhang thought about whether he should care about the queen, at least make a show of it.She thought for a while, and sent Qing Zhi in to ask the queen if she could see her.

The queen agreed, but her complexion was really bad.Xiao Zhang comforted her a few words, and then quickly backed away with a wink.

Not long after returning to Yifu Palace, before the benches were warmed up, Qing Shui came in to pass on the news, saying that it was Mrs. Zhou who came.

Before Xiao Zhang could open his mouth, Qing Zhixin spoke bluntly, and snorted coldly: "Did she go to the wrong place, this is not the Palace of Mercy and Harmony!"

"Qingzhi, what nonsense are you talking about?" Xiao Zhang shot her a look, saw Qingzhi bit her lips and lowered her head, Xiao Zhang said: "Go and invite Mrs. Zhou to the flower hall to talk."

She changed her homely clothes, ate some pastries, drank a bowl of hot goat's milk, and washed her face.After finishing all the busy work, I walked to the flower hall slowly holding the hand of the maid.

Xiao Zhang is such a worthless and narrow-minded person, she can't let the queen mother out, but what the queen mother did to her yesterday, she can always return it to Zhou Guiren who accompanied the queen mother to eat in the warm pavilion.

When Xiao Zhang entered the flower hall, he saw Zhou Guiren's face was pale with cold, and he looked so pitiful that he didn't dare to say anything.Hearing the sound of Xiao Zhang's approaching footsteps, Zhou Guiren stood up early in the morning and waited, politely saluting this girl who was younger than her and entered the palace later.

Xiao Zhang glanced at her, didn't help her up, turned his head to the servant who was guarding in the flower hall, and reprimanded: "Slave who doesn't care much, it's so cold, why don't you make more stoves and send them here? If any Rumor has it that my palace treats noble Zhou harshly, but you can afford it?"

Mrs. Zhou was afraid that she would be angry, and also worried that if today's news really got out, the concubine would think she was talking too much, so she hurriedly persuaded her: "It's okay, my concubine, I brought a stove by myself, it's not cold at all. .”

Why?Such a virgin?

Xiao Zhang likes this kind of gentle, kind, well-behaved and sensible person the most.

——Because it's easy to bully.

"That's good." Xiao Zhang said with a fake smile: "Your Majesty Zhou, please excuse me. Today you come to Yifu Palace, why do you not know why?"

Zhou Guiren didn't expect her to be so straightforward, without even saying a few polite words, she was planning to start talking about the colors of the fabrics distributed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs this winter!

She froze for a moment, the embarrassment on her face was fleeting, she bravely said directly: "The concubine is here to make amends to the concubine."

"Oh?" Xiao Zhang raised his eyebrows in surprise, "I don't understand Zhou Guiren's words."

Guiren Zhou raised his head, his eyes suddenly became moist: "Yesterday in the Palace of Mercy, the concubine offended the empress too much. After returning, the concubine was restless. She thought that she would come to Yifu Palace immediately to plead guilty to the empress. Eunuch Chang from the other side of the hall came and said that the emperor asked his concubine to go to the Qianyuan Hall to sleep..."

Xiao Zhang interrupted: "Oh, so what? You are not fair for me, and have you spoken a few words for me in front of the emperor?"

Guiren Zhou was stunned, tongue tied: "This... this... this is not true."

Guiren Zhou heard that the Supreme Emperor sent something to Xiao Zhang yesterday. He was afraid that Xiao Zhang would forget about the empress dowager's disadvantages, so he came here to remind her of what the empress dowager did.

By the way, to show off, the emperor still has her in his heart, she is the real favorite concubine.

Xiao Zhang walked up to nobleman Zhou with a smile, tucked the broken hair from her temples, and said softly: "Don't worry, I have forgotten what happened yesterday, nobleman Zhou doesn't need to worry about it."

"But..." Zhou Gui felt unwilling.She hoped to get rid of the concubine Xian through the hands of the queen mother, so that she would not have to do it herself.

Xiao Zhang said impatiently: "Okay. If Mr. Zhou has nothing to do, you can leave first. I get up early in the morning, and I am a little tired."

This was far beyond Zhou Guiren's expectation.She originally thought that the virtuous concubine would take advantage of the situation, vomit bitterness with her, and speak ill of the Queen Mother.Or because he was jealous of her bedtime, he satirized her with words.Who would have thought that Concubine Xian would want to dismiss her with just such a light sentence, Zhou Guiren felt as if he had hit a lump of soft cotton with his fist, feeling very uncomfortable.

I have prepared the plan for a long time, and thought of so many possibilities, but I never thought that the concubine Xian is like a puppet, without any emotions!

Guiren Zhou bit his lips, suddenly he had an idea, remembering that he had left some preparations, he hurriedly said: "My lady, the weather is nice today, why don't you go for a walk? Your lady has been in the palace for so long, has she not seen the little prince yet?" What about it? The concubine is going to have a look, would the empress be willing to show her face?"

"Forget it." Xiao Zhang was afraid that Mrs. Zhou had dug a hole and waited for her to jump into it. It would be safest to stay in his bedroom. "I'm inexperienced, don't hurt the little prince again."

"No, no, no." Zhou Guiren vowed. "The third prince is almost three years old. A few days ago, the third prince heard that there was a new concubine in the palace, and he was very curious about you. Madam, you should go and see him..." He said , Zhou Guiren's eye circles suddenly turned red.

Xiao Zhang sensed something was wrong, and asked casually, "Why are you crying?"

It's okay if she didn't say anything, but when she asked, Zhou Guiren's tears came as soon as he said it, and fell down unexpectedly: "Ms. Xian, there is nothing I can do for my concubine..."
