Chapter 39 The wicked still need the wicked to grind
"That's all. Since she said that she was wronged, let her go, so as not to spread that people say that my little master has no favor and a bad temper. As soon as she enters the palace, she will take the maid with an operation." Lin Xuanyu didn't want to listen any more. He waved his hand and let them go down.
"Miss!" Zhu Xiang was obviously very angry and anxious, but when he saw Lin Xuanyu's appearance, he couldn't persuade her. He turned his head to Huizhu and said, "Go out quickly!"
"Yes, thank you for your understanding!" Huizhu hurriedly bowed and ran out.
"My sister, I made you laugh." After the others went out, Lin Xuanyu said to Ling Xiao with a wry smile.
Ling Xiao patted the back of her hand and comforted her silently.
"Last night, I heard the palace people report that someone had stolen it, and I was immediately stunned. After going out, I found that there was only a pile of messy clothes at the foot of Huizhu. After checking, it was even more strange. It turned out that they were all trousers, skirts and so on. Some of them were just replaced and unwashed.
"Presumably, when all the people in my sister's palace heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to announce the will, they were very excited. They were lucky enough to follow the right master, and the first one among the new palace concubines was lucky. But I didn't expect you to be so coincidental... It feels like falling from the sky to the ground. Although there will be opportunities in the future, who can be accurate about what will happen in the future? There are many dreams in the night. Who knows if the emperor will forget the Xuanxi Hall after spoiling other little masters. Ling Xiao took Lin Xuanyu's words, as if the cow's head was not right. "If you can't remember it after a year and a half, then there is no place to cry."
Lin Xuanyu nodded and said, "Yes, their honors and disgraces are tightly tied to me. My interests are their interests. If I can't get out, they won't have the day to come out."
"That's why Huizhu is so unwilling. She could have gained some power through her sister's favor, but she didn't expect that it would turn out to be someone else." Ling Xiao looked at the stone-green chair on the pear-wood carved seat opposite, and his smile was a little cold. "So she wants to poke out her sister's affairs. If her sister deliberately shirks the emperor's kindness and is known, I'm afraid this sin will be big, and she can avenge her sister for her revenge, and second, she can also stand in front of the queen. Merit."
Lin Xuanyu naturally expected these, but at this moment, when she heard Ling Xiao say it, she was still sad and resentful. She shook her head and didn't want to accuse anyone of sinister, but just wondered, "But how did she know that I deliberately shirked it? In order not to let people see the clue, I also specially ordered to use more red dates and other ingredients to nourish qi and blood in my diet.
Ling Xiao also frowned and said for a long time, "Sister, I'm afraid this Huizhu is not simple. Otherwise, she is very careful and her observation is very meticulous, so she found her sister's secret, or..." She paused and then said, "She is not sure. In fact, she doesn't have to be sure, as long as she comes to the queen with a pile of clean clothes without a trace of dirt and slanders ulsfully, plus At the provocation of her heart, the queen sent someone to the Xixi Hall to check it carefully. I'm afraid her plan will be done.
"Fortunately, it was found." Lin Xuanyu held the tea cup in his hand tightly, and his wrist trembled a little. The lid of the cup collided with the body of the cup and made a crisp sound. The tea overflowed from the side. "Even if I don't want to argue, will it hinder the interests of others?"
"Sister, although it's not good to treat Huizhu now, punishing her in the name of stealing property is just to smear your face, but you will take good care of her in the future. Sooner or later, this kind of person will be a scourge." Ling Xiao looked at the dense cotton paper sewn on the scarlet window lattice and said worriedly.
"Don't worry, sister. I know how to do it." Lin Xuanyu squeezed his lips, tried to cover the haze in his eyes, and whispered, "Just in case, I asked Zhu Xiang to go to the kitchen to get some chicken blood last night..."
"My sister is very thoughtful." Ling Xiao was a little relieved and smiled sarcastically, "Thanks to Huizhu. If it weren't for her, I'm afraid my sister wouldn't have thought of this."
Seeing that it was time for lunch, Lin Xuanyu left Ling Xiao before leaving. Ling Xiao did not refuse, so the two put down those disturbing trifles for the time being and started to eat at ease.
Just after lunch, before Ling Xiao left, there was a decree from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, saying that Luo Shan had been promoted to be the seventh-grade lady.
"Madam Luo?" Ling Xiao laughed and said, "This is not easy for ordinary concubines to get." Lady, such a warm title makes people feel warm when they hear it.
"Although they are all seven grades, 'always' is still different from 'girls'." Lin Xuanyu also said, looking as usual.
If it hadn't been for her deliberately avoiding favor, today's title would have been hers, but Ling Xiao could not see any regret on her face.
Coming out of the Xixi Hall and passing near Yaozhi Palace, I saw Luoshang, who had changed his clothes, coming this way from afar.
Ling Xiao didn't want to deal with her more. Even if he wanted to turn his head and walk to another path, he didn't expect that Luoshang's sharp eyes had been seen by her.
"Isn't that Ling Cairen? Why do you want to leave when you see your sister? Luo Shang greeted him from afar, and there was a sign of sarcasm in his words.
Ling Xiao was slightly embarrassed. He resisted his impatience and turned around and smiled, "Oh, my sister misunderstood. My sister didn't see my sister."
"Ling Cai is a good person, and my maidservant can see Ling Cairen." When the two sides approached, the maid of honor beside Luo Zhang was quite polite and respectfully saluted Ling Xiao.
"Yun Tong." Luo Shan seemed to be a little dissatisfied. "It's not a formal invitation. There is no need to make such a big salute. It doesn't seem that we are unfamiliar with our sister."
"How are you, Mrs. Luo?" Seeing this, Qingwu stepped forward and saluted Luo Xiang, but he only lowered his head slightly and didn't even bend his knees.
Seeing this, Luoshang looked pale and said to Ling Xiao, "Sister, are the servants of Qiluant Hall so unruly? Or is my sister too lax to teach them etiquette? Do you need my sister's help?
Hearing this, Qingwu's anger had clearly hung on his face. He was about to speak when he was cut off by Ling Xiao.
"Didn't my sister say that there is no need to make a big salute, otherwise it seems that we are so strange to each other. Why, is my sister a double standard for others and herself?" Ling Xiao showed no weakness and blocked it back with her words. "What's more, if you really say it, it seems that my sister still needs to salute her in person."
Luo Shang naturally knew this. She was not stupid. She was waiting for the talk to be picked up by others. However, she thought to herself that after all, she was a new woman, but she didn't expect that Ling Xiao would not give face at all. She not only didn't give face, but even talked to her.
Luo Xiang was angry when she heard this. Since last night, she has heard countless flattery and fully felt the superiority brought by the emperor's favor, but now she actually wants her to salute a penniless talent, which is simply a joke.
"My sister doesn't really think that she can be higher in the palace by virtue of her position, does she? Although I'm just a woman now, I'm much more popular than your nameless 'talented person'. Luoshang took a few steps closer and said sarcastically, "What about your good sister Lin Xuanyu? The first one who was turned over the brand is still not blessed."
Ling Xiao gritted her teeth for a while, but before she could open her mouth to fight back, she heard another harsher voice.
"Madam Luo, in the past, I saw that you were still a man with your tail between your legs, and you looked submissive and understand the rules. Why did you start to show off your power today? I really haven't seen the world."
Ling Xiao turned his head and saw that it was Mu Junyao. She was no better than Luo Chang, or even more sharp than Luo Chang, but at this moment, she felt very pleasant to hear. If it is true, the wicked need to be tempered by the wicked.
Luo Chang saw that Mu Junyao was coming. Not only did his arrogance not go down, but his whole body seemed to be lit, "Yao Liangyuan! Anyway, I'm also the wife of the emperor. Even if you are not convinced, do you dare to complain to the emperor?
This is understandable for Ling Xiao. She was also born as the daughter of Zhixian, but because of the Empress Dowager, Luoshang was at a downfall. Originally, it didn't matter. She was not the only person who was in peace, but according to her nature, she was afraid that she would flatter Mu Junyao a lot on the way to Beijing, but the other party might not give her face. At this moment, she thought she had turned over, and naturally she was unwilling to put up with it any more.
And Mu Junyao is not a good match. In her eyes, Luo Chang is a typical villain. After hearing this, she sneered repeatedly and said, "Mrs. Luo is really good at bending the facts! Do you think that if you have defected to the noble concubine, you will have peace of mind in the future? Do you think it's great to get the title of 'Wangzi'? I offended the medicine concubine and made her make such a big ugliness in front of the noble concubine. Do you think she will let you go?
Mu Junyao said a series of words. Luo Chang was photographed by her momentum, and her face gradually turned pale. However, she was still calm and replied, "Yao Liangyuan has to be careful when she speaks. Isn't it all sisters in the palace? Have you ever thought that the Empress would blame you for being so vicious as she said?
"Yesterday, I heard that Xuan Guiren could not go to bed. The emperor thought of taking a rest in the palace of the noble concubine, but the noble concubine was understanding and persuaded that the emperor could not neglect the newcomers. The emperor was going to turn over my brand, but the medicine concubine suddenly came and said that the Luo Xuanshi in her palace was particularly beautiful, which made the emperor change his mind. No But you think the emperor likes you!"
Mu Junyao disdained Luos the threat at all. She didn't even answer the stubble and continued, "It's okay if you obey the medicine concubine well. However, if you want to do your best to please the noble concubine, an ungrateful villain like you, do you think the concubine will reuse you?"
At this moment, Luoshang was so angry that her mouth and nose were almost twisted. Obviously, she didn't expect Mu Junyao to speak so badly. However, without waiting for her to say anything else, Mu Junyao had already rolled her eyes and left.
No wonder Mu Junyao is so angry with Luoshang, not only because she is not used to it and jealous, but also because this favor was originally hers. Ling Xiao looked at it coldly. It was originally a narrow encounter between her and Luoshang, but she didn't expect to see such a scene.
Although Luo Shang's choice may not be wise, she offended the medicine concubine, but having the noble concubine as a backer is also a big bargaining chip. Even if, as Mu Junyao said, she can't get the trust and reuse of the noble concubine, she will still protect her people, even if it is a dog she raises.
However, how much is the status of the medicine concubine in the emperor's heart? Will it really be much worse than the noble concubine? Because of her recommendation, the emperor turned over Luo Shang's sign instead of following the noble concubine. What does this mean?
