Chapter 102 Jieyu
Out of the Heyi Hall, the oncoming wind blew, and the three of them felt a cold sweat on their backs.
The little servant who led them out of Ganquan Palace was still the one who guarded the palace gate before. Maybe he saw that Song Qingyi personally sent someone out, but his attitude changed greatly, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were piled with smiles. Although he was not enough to flatter, he was also polite, because the underground hot springs and waterways of Ganquan Palace were intertwined, and the empress dowager lived. The cleaning is very diligent, so there is no frost on the road, and there is no need to remind your feet. When the little waiter sent them out of the palace, he introduced the flowers and trees along the way, and seemed to intentionally or unintentionally mention which kinds of flowers were liked by Zuo Zhaoyi and Ouyang, so the empress dowager often ordered people to cut them when she saw them.
After listening to a few words, Ah Shan quietly stuffed a purse with him, and smiled and asked about the varieties that other concubines liked. The little maid did not refuse the purse. She put it into her sleeve and pinched it. She felt that the weight was enough, and there was a lot of smile on her face. Looking at no one left and right, she whispered: "This aunt doesn't know-- ”
He just said a word. Ah Shan had already sighed, showing panic, waved his hand and said, "How can I be called an aunt? The maidservant's name is Ashan, and the little father-in-law just calls a name!"
"Aunt Shan." The little maid was polite and said with a smile, "Why should I be humble? Although our palace usually depends on seniority, it is just an ordinary palace person. My aunt is an old servant in blue and followed her into the palace. Now she has the green eyes of the empress dowager. How can she be blessed in the future? How can she not be an aunt?
Ashan, who said this, also smiled at the corners of his eyes and exchanged a few words with him affectionately before listening to the little servant say, "There are many noble people in the palace, but what is Ganquan Palace? Even if ordinary people want to come and invite Ann, they have to see if the Empress Dowager is willing to pass it on. Auntie, don't you think so?
He made such a small temptation. Seeing that Mu Biwei and others were just smiling and saying nothing, he continued to say, "The Empress Dowager likes to be clean, that is, the six palaces visit. Except for celebrations and sacrifices, the Empress Dowager has always wanted nobles to come and can come to comfort at any time. There is only Zuo Zhaoyi in the palace and now The two Ninghua Niangniang, as for the others... they have to come more from the Lierong Nigong.
Cui Lierong, the main position of Yan's palace, is also the daughter of the Yedu Wang clan. Although the Cui family is not as good as Qu and Gao, it is not inferior to the Shen family. Compared with the Xu family, who stood on the wrong team in the competition for the throne in the previous dynasty, it is even better than the Cui family. Otherwise, the Cui family would not have been awarded the title of concubine as soon as she entered the palace. However, Cui Lierong has been unknown in the palace. After all, although she can't say it's not good about her family background, there are better Qu and Ouyang above her. In addition, Cui has not been favored for a few days. The Yanni Palace where she lives is as far away from Pingle Palace, which can be said to be a secluded palace. Even the people in the palace have never been favored too much. If her position was not low, at least she would have been the master of the palace. I'm afraid she would have been forgotten long ago.
Ashan and Mu Biwei looked at each other, so the Empress Dowager Gao paid the most attention to these three concubines? Further down, although she is not a girl from a noble family, such as Xin, a world woman who lives in Changxin Palace with the unfavored Fan Shifu and Si Yu's wife. The Xin family is second to Shen and Xu, but it is also regarded as a family of Shangguan eunuchs. This Xin is a concubine's daughter, so she fell to the concubine, but the little maid did not mention her. I think it is because Not only is Xin's favorite not much, but in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Gao, the Xin family is nothing, right?
Both of them sighed when thinking about this - if Mu Bichuan really married He Sanniangzi... It can't be said that his future has been compromised, but he has also suffered a lot of losses. If a wife runs well, it will help him a lot!
It's just that this time, no matter how many tricks they have, they are limited to the deep palace, which is beyond the reach of the whip!
Thinking of this, Mu Biwei hates Xu more and more!
So she and Wanqi smiled and listened to Ah Shan and the little servant talk to the door of Ganquan Palace, and exchanged a few words before slowly leaving along the palace road.
Seeing that there was a distance from Ganquan Palace, Ashan looked at no one left and right again, so he quickly took a veil to rub the scars on Mu Biwei's forehead and whispered distressed, "Girl is really suffering!"
"At best, things have been done, and there is always a price to pay." Mu Biwei only cared about dealing with the Empress Dowager Gao. She had never dared to relax in Ganquan Palace. She didn't feel anything at all. Instead, A Shan rubbed it so hard that she felt the pain to her bones. She couldn't help asking Ashan to stop her hand and said cautiously, "Just now, she only cared about persuading the Empress Dowager. She knocked down too hard. Now it's wind and snowy outside. , don't break it and can't squeeze out the blood in time. In case the scar falls, it's not good!"
Ashan can't help complaining about her: "If the girl wants to kowtow, at least take some moderation. In fact, the empress dowager is also waiting for people to use it. Those girls don't kowtow or fight hard, why do they have to suffer so much?"
"There is a difference whether it is or not." Mu Biwei didn't hesitate to take over her clothes and sneered, "No matter what, I'm also the legitimate daughter of the official eunuch family. In terms, I'm also the daughter of a family, but the shepherd's family is a little too miserable - the Empress Dowager Gao pays attention to the family. The last time Princess Wen has helped mention her father and made the Empress Dowager Gao think of my origin! At least my grandmother's reputation has always been good. I have only mentioned my grandmother several times. It was for the Empress Dowager Gao to feel that if the granddaughter taught by the daughter of the Shen family in Yedu had not only become a female official in the palace, she had to call herself a slave. Earlier, she was also a girl in the palm of her hand in the boudoir! But this time, he kowtowed hard in front of her, showing that he had reached a dead end! In this way, my turn to my trust is more credible!"
"Alas!" Ashan also knew that Mu Biwei did the right thing. After all, she brought it up. She couldn't help but feel distressed, so she said, "Then go back to the wind and lotus courtyard to get a hot handkerchief and rub it. If you can rub the blood, you don't have to squeeze it out. Otherwise, no matter how careful in this cold day, it will inevitably leave scars. If you don't squeeze it, it will be even more deadly!"
He followed them silently and said hurriedly, "Or Aunt Shan walked with Qingyi, and the maidservant went back to them to boil water first, so that Qingyi was ready to go back to the wind lotus courtyard?"
"It's okay." Mu Bi listened and nodded, but before pulling her feet, she listened to Mu Bi follow slowly, "Those words in the Yi Hall..."
He shivered and said hurriedly, "I will definitely keep my mouth like a bottle!"
"I don't want you to keep your mouth shut!" Mu Bi smiled when she heard the words, and gently touched her eyebrows. She felt that her fingertips were cold, as if a cold air followed the place she had pointed to her. She only heard Mu Bi say leisurely, "It's the Empress Dowager who doesn't want you to talk too much... If the words of Prince Anping spread, the mother and brother There is a gap. Do you think the Empress will be happy to see it?
"I didn't hear anything!" Wan Jie woke up and said quickly, "The maidservant has been standing outside the hall!"
Mu Bi smiled and said, "You think the reason is that the Empress Dowager did not tell us, that is to say, the Empress Dowager believes in the palace people and Princess Wen. If this happens outside, it will only fall on the three of us."
After witnessing the departure, Ah Shan took care of the cloak for Mu Bi, and then said the business: "After all, the Empress Dowager didn't say anything about Jin as a palace concubine for the girl."
"Although Your Majesty has been accompanying Sun Guicubine in the prayer hall these days, he may not forget me. We can think of this. Naturally, the Empress Dowager is also measured, and although the Empress Dowager does not like Sun Guicubine, she is not too satisfied with He Ronghua's origin, but as we said before, if she is now treated by the Empress Dowager Zuo Zhaoyi, who was under the protection, was favored by Sun Guicubine, and the Empress Dowager should be worried again - the Empress Dowager wanted to keep this jurisdiction over me! Otherwise, with my words, why did I cover up the calculation of Ouyang and staying in the palace? But because I'm still favored, I'm just a female official. A piece of shelter soup can make me never turn over. Is the Empress Dowager afraid that I can't do anything? Mu Bi smiled and said, "When my mother-in-law looks at the bride, there are always all kinds of unsatisfactory things. Who said that the nobles in this palace do not have a high surname? Even Ouyang, she also glorified the Ouyang family first!"
A Shan nodded and said, "Since the empress dowager chose the Qu family as the queen, the girl of the Gao family entered the palace again, which was also under people. The Gao family may not be willing to. The empress dowager was afraid that she was also look depressed. She simply chose only one Ouyang. Although she was the empress dowager's niece, she did not have the surname Gao, which also makes the Qu family think of the empress dowager. Because Zuo Zhaoyi's appearance is not rich, the Empress Dowager knows that it is difficult for her to be favored, and there is no need for another Gao girl to enter the palace to consolidate the status of the Gao family.
"I'm afraid there are other reasons." Mu Bi glanced at the direction of Anfu Palace and said meaningfully, "We haven't seen that one so far. It's hard to describe when you say that she is charming - you said that there is such a person in the palace. Your Majesty dares to rebel against the empress dowager for her. The girl of the two families is first-class, but in terms of appearance, she is born. Beauty is not a blessing for everyone. If there is no beautiful woman comparable to the noble concubine, what should you do in this palace? Did you guard the palace for your majesty like Cui Lierong mentioned by the little chamberlain just now?
"What the girl said is narrow." Although Ah Shan had something in his heart, he couldn't help saying, "Cui Lierong, a good girl, said as if he were guarding the palace."
The two were talking, but they saw a brown corner of a snow-built tree not far away. They stopped talking, but then a palace man in a new autumn-colored palace suit and fur came out. He first looked behind them, and then waved to Mu Bi.
Mu Biwei was stunned, but heard the palace man softly say, "Mu Qingyi don't have to doubt it. The maidservant's surname is Jade, which is served by Princess Wen. She knew that the journey of Qingyi must go back to Fengheyuan. She was ordered by Princess Wen to wait here in order to tell Qingyi to say a few words!"
Hearing the name of Princess Wen, Mu Biwei and Ah Shan's doubts faded. Seeing that the palace man who claimed to be Xie Yu only called Mu Biwei, Ah Shan also knew and stood still.
Mu Biwei followed Xie Yu to the secluded place in the forest behind the tree. Xie Yu stood still. She turned around and smiled and said, "The slave and maidservant stood not far from Princess Wen last time. I think there were many people and things on that day, and Qingyi did not notice the slaves."
"Auntie is a close servant beside the imperial concubine. She thinks she is higher than the maidservant. How dare the maidservant call her aunt so polite?" Mu Biwei did not notice Xie Yu when she first arrived at the Heyi Hall, but she also vaguely remembered that there was a person standing behind Princess Wen that day. Most of them were close waiters. How can there be no grade? Now that I am at the lowest level, even Xie Yu is also in blue, so I dare not be a maidservant.
