Chapter 136 Unable 4

The flower bones of the plum garden bloomed into gorgeous red plums, and Empress Changsun invited the palace concubines to enjoy the plum blossoms together. The weather this year is warmer. Every time I think it's going to snow, there will be a warm sun, which warms up the red plum blossoms in the plum garden. Empress Changsun prepared two small banquets in the garden, and only put hot tea and cakes for the concubines to chat and laugh. On the side of Empress Changsun and Wei Wei, Wenizi talked about interesting things in the palace. Suddenly, he mentioned Li Shimin's newly appointed talent and asked Empress Changsun if she wanted to summon him. She said, "This woman is smart and sensitive. I heard that the emperor often comes to her to play chess, and I am very happy."

Empress Changsun glanced at me and said to her, "The emperor has always been a talented person, but I haven't seen this talented man yet. However, today is a gathering of concubines. She'd better forget it. Wenizi shook her head and reminded, "The Queen, don't be negligent. This person is now the favorite of the emperor. If you don't call her together, I'm afraid she will be deliberately excluded. Wei Wei was angry: "Nizi, how do you talk!" Empress Changsun blocked Wei Wei and thought for a moment, "Well, Wei Zhaorong strongly recommends that this person is extraordinary, and it's okay to see him at first sight." After saying that, he called the maid of honor.

No, a eunuch hurried on the road, ran to me and knelt down and said, "Feife De, the fifth prince is sick and has a fever." The hand holding the cup was stunned and splashed some hot tea. Queen Changsun heard the eunuch's words and said to me, "Princes De, go and take care of the fifth prince first. Don't delay your illness."

Weinizi looked at me unhappily. I ignored it and immediately retreated to Empress Wei Kui and Yang Fei and rushed to Deqing Hall. Out of the plum garden, a woman in a yellow brocade robe came towards her, and then the maid of honor also had four or five. Let me take a look. Isn't that the royal daughter I saw in the Liangyi Hall? I have mentioned her to Li Shimin. How... I was thinking that she had come to me, lowered her waist more than ten steps away, and said sweetly, "The Empress Defei is blessed."

Qing'er reminded me that this is the newly sealed Zhou Cairen. In my heart, I also quickly turned my smile, gentle and serious: "Zhou Cairen doesn't have to be polite."

Zhou Cairen lifted the embroidered handkerchief and smiled like a pair of moon ditches, looking very beautiful and aura: "I heard from my sisters that the Empress Defei is beautiful, intelligent and versatile, and is deeply favored by the emperor. When I saw it today, I was really a fairy, which made my concubine so envious.

I smiled back and said slowly, "Zhou Cairen, don't be polite. Since you are the woman chosen by the emperor, you must have your excellence. Since they are all sisters, they will be rewarded if they have merit in the future. If they have mistakes, they should be dealt with impartially. It's not easy to spoil them.

Hearing my words deliberately, Zhou Cairen bit his lips and smiled stiffly: "My sister... I don't have to be polite. My concubine knows it."

I nodded with a smile and moved the maid behind me: "That's good. I have something else to do. You can accompany my sisters to enjoy plums for me."

Zhou Cairen responded and treated me far away. My heart was complicated, and I felt creepy. I couldn't stand my doubts. I ordered Qinger to go to the court to investigate Zhou Cairen and the so-called Xiao Linger. I rushed back to Deqing Hall. Nian'er was sitting by Li You's couch and feeding medicine carefully. I touched Li You's hot forehead and asked, "I saw a good thing yesterday. What's the matter?"

Nian'er has now been promoted to a medical doctor. She handed me a medical certificate and said, "It's a fever caused by food. It can get better in a few days." She was a little unhappy and scolded me softly, "The fifth prince is your only child. You should take more care of him. He often sneaked to the Shang Pharmacy to find me and Song Fengyu, and I knew that you had neglected him again.

I took the medicine in Nian'er's hand and fed Li You: "I'll pay attention. I just don't want to restrain him too much."

Nian'er said, "Don't be too free. The fifth prince should be the closest to you!"

I nodded and looked at Li You's little face, which was slightly red because of the heat. I don't need how good he is to avoid worrying in the future, but Nian'er is right. I'm really negligent to Li You. He should have been the closest to me. Nian'er repeatedly told me to retreat. I sat in a soft chair and looked at Li You on the couch, worried.

At this time, Qinger came back from the court bureau. She looked at Li You on the couch and didn't know whether she should talk or not. I rubbed the corners of my eyes to signal her, so she whispered, "The newly appointed talented person surnamed Zhou, named Yuetan, is a new royal daughter last year. She was awarded the title of talent by the emperor four days ago. As for Xiao Linger, she was indeed removed from the list of royal daughters by the Empress. She worked in the court bureau and was honest and was always bullied by other maids.

Although I expected it, I was still stunned when I heard this, and I actually lost it. This Zhou Cairen must have read the names of other royal daughters at the beginning, but now he has been included in the twenty-seventh woman. When I first saw her, I felt that this person was very calculating, and I didn't want to be stunned by her.

I really had a headache and was a little irritable. I let Li You take care of me and went back to the bedroom and closed my eyes. I just need a quiet bad environment, a place where I am alone when I close my eyes, so when I'm in a bad mood, I often have to rest on my couch. When I close my eyes and immerse myself in the darkness, although I feel a little sleepy, my thoughts become calm and organized.

I don't know how long it took, and the hurried footsteps came in from the outer hall. Qing'er asked her in a low voice, "What's going on?" The maid of honor suppressed her voice and said urgently, "Mu Zhaoyuan and Zhou Cairen are fighting!"

"What!" The faint sleepiness suddenly woke up. I got up from the bed, and Qing'er quickly took the robe from the side and put it on for me. The maid said, "The two came out of Meiyuan. They were fine, but somehow they suddenly started talking to each other, and now they are doing something."

I randomly trimmed my robe and quickly asked, "Queen, do you know?"

The maid of honor led the way and replied, "No one dares to report that it is the maid of Mu Zhaoyuan who came to tell the Empress."

When I came to the palace courtyard, I saw Mu Yan and Zhou Cairen pulling together. The maids and eunuchs around me stood far away, and no one dared to come forward. I told those palace people to say, "What are you doing here? Why don't you pull it away!"

The palace people then went up to surround the two and persuaded them softly. The two people who were entangled could not hear each other and refused to let go. Muyan has always been bold and stubborn. I still remember the previous fight with Weinizi, but she still doesn't have a long memory after learning her. And that Zhou Cairen knew that he was also a tough temper when he first met in the Liangyi Hall, and his arrogance can be said to be the most prosperous person I have ever seen. The two fought together, and it is no wonder that those palace people did not dare to persuade before, and it is no wonder that neither of them took a step back.

I shouted at the two people who were persuaded by the palace people: "You don't have to persuade me. Tomorrow, the Empress will investigate and deal with it impartially!" Both of them were stunned, staring straight at each other, but stopped pulling their hands. I then said, "You don't have to go back to teach your palace people to speak. I have no fewer eyes than you!" The two reluctantly loosened each other's robes and blessed me with an angry face. I stared at the two closely and said in a low voice, "Mu Zhaoyuan and Zhou Cairen come with me!"

The two followed my footsteps and turned into a bamboo forest. It was early spring. The wind passed through the bamboo with a strong chill. The two fought and were suddenly shivered by the wind. I looked at them rudely and said, "Are you all awake? A Zhaoyuan and a talented person, no matter what the reason, no matter who did it first, in order to show off for a while, you have lost all your face! If one of you has any mistakes, how can you explain to the emperor and the queen!"

Zhou Cairen moved his lips and was about to open his mouth. I put my sharp eyes and blocked her back. I turned my head and said to Mu Yan first, "Mu Zhaoyuan, I blame you first. You stay in the palace for a long time and know the rules of the palace. Zhou Cairen has not been in the palace for a long time. You should be courteous. Mu Yan lowered her head and did not answer, while being stubborn. I won't say anything more and said to Zhou Cai: "Although you have just been favored, you have to have a good relationship with the sisters of the palaces. Besides, Mu Zhaoyuan is higher than you. In any case, you can't do anything against her."

The two looked at each other with contempt and bowed down: "My concubine is taught."

In front of the rules, Zhou Cairen finally dared not refute it. He pouted and glanced at the outside of the forest, wondering what he was muttering in his stomach. I waved my sleeves and shouted, "This matter hasn't reached the queen's ears yet. If you don't want to be punished, just hold a grudge here. Go back and keep an eye on your slaves and don't make a big fuss."

After saying that, I walked out of the bamboo forest and recruited the palace people back to the palace. The two also came out of the bamboo forest to recruit their respective palace people to disperse. After walking for a while, Muyan chased after him and pouted unhappily, "Just then, Zhou Cai was arrogant in front of the queen. He was still polite when he was in the garden. When he came out of the garden, he was not inferior to be inferior."

I saw her resentment and didn't understand the danger of this person at all. I scolded in a low voice: "This new Zhou Cai is full of tricks. You shouldn't pay attention to her. This is good. If you get her, I'm afraid you will be right with us in the future. Muyan was still stuffy, but she recovered a little: "She is angry with me. How dare she fight against her sister? Has my sister known her for a long time?

I sighed, "It's a long story. Anyway, if you can ignore her in the future, just ignore her. And Wei Zhaorong, Zhou Cairen can find a chance to get the position of Cairen, which is mostly set by Wei Zhaorong. Thinking about it, if Mu Yan still doesn't know that the situation will definitely make trouble, I added an explanation, "There is no Wei Zhaorong's name in the waitress list controlled by the emperor, and her sister Wei Guifei doesn't like her competition. Wei Zhaorong, who has no foothold, is going to find a pawn to open his way for himself."

Muyan understood and was a little helpless: "I heard that the harem distribution was serious, and the fighting could be turned upside down secretly. I didn't want the situation to start in just a few months."

I was relieved: "As long as women enter this palace, there will be a lot of fighting."

The palace seen by the people in the hall is gentle, and it is secretly bloody. As long as you get the emperor's favor, you can call for wind and rain. If not, you will be buried in the harem all your life. Therefore, women with ambition and desire have to fight to the death for this!

This Zhou Cairen is very scheming. Mu Yan's discord with her has calmed down, but it has caused another incident. Although there was no result, I was really afraid of Zhou Cairen. No, not to her, but to a woman like her.

The next day, I went to the Liangyi Hall as usual. The eunuch at the door saw me from afar and greeted me and said worriedly, "Madam, the emperor has been in the Liangyi Hall. The emperor said that when the Empress came, she would wait for your Highness and not go up to disturb her.

I was puzzled, and I stepped into the hall, which was unusually quiet. Li Shimin sat in the right position and buried himself in correcting the government affairs. The eunuch beside him bent slightly and stood beside him, providing him with tea and water from time to time. There were several eunuchs standing on both sides of the hall below, and they did not dare to breathe out. I flattened my long sleeves and stood in the hall. The people above me did not look up and approved several folds again and again.
