607,

At this moment, Concubine Hua felt quite confused as she looked around.

It turned out that she had bet all her treasures on Chun Bin, and Chun Bin also lived up to her expectations and became the first among the nobles to be granted a concubine. If it had been in the past, even if she did not go to Rehe with him, as long as Chun Bin went, she would wait for the holy driver to come back.

, she naturally wants to know everything.

But now Chun Bin has completely turned against her. Even if Yanxi Palace and Jingren Palace are next to each other, if they meet in the corridor between the palace walls, Chun Bin will pretend not to see them and avoid them if she can.

It was still the same today. She glanced at Chun Bin, but Chun Bin didn't even come forward to greet her and just walked past her as if she hadn't seen her.

She was quite upset. For the first time, she felt that the things in the harem had turned into a kite that she couldn't hold on to the string. Although she tried hard, the kite still kept flying higher and farther.

She was unwilling to give in. After all, there were so many noble people in the palace, and Chun concubine was not the only one. How she could lift up Chun concubine back then, she could also lift up others.

Besides, even if the emperor's departure was short-lived, she couldn't see anything now. But if someone is favored, in a month or two, all the secrets will be revealed, and she will be the same by then.

It can be known.

.

The weather has cooled down in September. There is no need to continue to escape the summer heat in the Old Summer Palace. The Sixth Palace has returned to the palace with the emperor.

The six palaces went back to their own palaces, and Concubine Hua headed east. Concubine Chun saw Concubine Hua going that way, so she deliberately delayed coming down to talk to Concubine Ji to avoid going in the same direction together.

As the sedan arrived in front of Jingren Palace, Concubine Hua couldn't help but sneered and looked towards Jingren Palace.

Chun Bin has not come back yet, but someone has already come back in front of the door.

When those people heard the "angry" sound of the eunuch carrying the sedan chair, they hurriedly stood aside and saluted Concubine Hua's sedan chair.

Concubine Hua took a look and found that they were none other than An Changzai and Rong Changzai who lived in Jingren Palace.

Concubine Hua thought for a while, ordered the sedan to stop, and said with a warm smile to the two of them, "...You two are living with Chun Bin now, and you can't be as comfortable as you were before when you two were the only ones living there. In Jingren Palace,

Naturally, she has to make the decision in everything."

"But since we are close to each other, and she is a person who goes out of my palace, if she does something inappropriate, how can I protect her, then I have to continue to do so.

Therefore, if there is anything missing between you two, or if you have been mistreated by her in some way, just come and tell me."

"I've just said that I won't listen to her, but after all, I have so many quotas that I can't use them all by myself, so it's convenient to give some to you."

An Changzai and Rong Changzai looked at each other and quickly thanked them.

Concubine Hua nodded, "Let's go. Don't stand in front of Jingren's door for too long. If you turn around and let others see you, go back to Chun's concubine, and you will cause trouble for An Changzai and Rong Changzai."

.

An Changzai and Rong Changzai respectfully sent Concubine Hua back to Yanxi Palace in her sedan chair.

With their backs gone, the two of them stood up and couldn't help but glance at each other.

Both of them have good family backgrounds. It goes without saying that An Changzai is the daughter of Duke Xinyong; Rong Changzai has an official position in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so even though she has a high position

The portion is meager, but it is convenient for her, Amma, to make up for it from time to time.

Therefore, the two of them did not want to follow the example given by Hua Feiyun, but the two of them took the words of caring about the matter into consideration.

Originally, the two of them lived together in Jingren Palace, and they both looked a little displeased with each other. After all, one was the daughter of a duke and a noble person; the other was an old man in the emperor's dormitory. With his qualifications displayed here, everyone thought they

The person in Jingren Palace should be in charge, and the other party should listen to you.

It's just that they both know deep down in their hearts that no matter what, they are just two people who are always here. The emperor gives them the lowest status. Naturally, neither of them is welcome by the emperor. Therefore, even if they are

They once competed for superiority in Jingren Palace, but they didn't dare to make a fuss, let alone let the Queen know about it.

Such a tacit and restrained dispute between the two parties would eventually leave room for them. Therefore, when Chun Bin moved over and became the person in charge of Jingren Palace, the two of them were able to reach a compromise faster.

Turn the fight into a common enemy.

An Changzai first spoke to test, "What do you think of Concubine Rong's words just now?"

Because of Rong Changzai's senior status, An Changzai also respectfully calls her "Sister" here.

Rong Changzai raised the corner of his lips, "How else can we look at it? It all depends on how our concubine treats us."

Regarding Concubine Hua's character, both Rong Changzai and An Changzai actually knew something about it. An Changzai got it from An Luan, and Rong Changzai got it from Empress Xiaoshu.

, so it was not easy for the two of them to support Concubine Hua.

"If the concubines in our palace are very kind to us, then we will naturally close Jingren's door and live together as a family." Rong Changzai said and glanced at An Changzai, "But then again, if

The concubine is so proud of me and relies on her high status to not pay attention to me, an old man who lives in a dormitory. That’s a mistake..."

An Changzai understood what he was saying, and nodded with the corners of his lips raised, "After all, Sister Rong and I have been together for a long time, so these words have touched my heart. I will follow Sister Rong."

Let's go together, if Sister Rong advances, I will advance; if Sister Rong retreats, I will retreat with you."

Rong Changzai squinted his eyes and looked at An Changzai.

At this time, she was willing to accept An Changzai's intention. After all, An Changzai was a descendant of the founding hero Xinyong Gong, and his mother's family was on par with the Queen's mother's family. Therefore, although An Changzai had a low status, he was

Because of that family background, the emperor could not do anything to An Changzai.

If there was someone with such a significant status to support her, it would be able to show the importance of an old man who lives in a dormitory.

Rong Changzai took the rare initiative to reach out and took An Changzai's hand, "With sister An advancing and retreating together with me, even if the two of us are temporarily in a low position, no one in this harem can do whatever we want.

You are making light of both of us!"

.

When Twenty-Twenty returned to the palace, all the ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to pick him up.

There was someone inside who bowed rather reluctantly.

Although 222 was not familiar with that person, he could guess who he was based on his face.

——Empress Xiaoshu’s brother, Shengzhu’s younger brother Mengzhu.

Because Shengzhu was becoming more and more useless, the emperor had almost given up the idea of ​​using this person again. However, October of this year was the day when Empress Xiaoshu was about to be transferred forever, so the emperor could not help but be kind to Empress Xiaoshu's mother's family.

Furthermore, there must be someone in their family who can stand up for the ceremony, and the grade cannot be too low.

In addition, as Empress Xiaoshu is about to be laid to rest, the Emperor must also be more considerate of Mianning's feelings.

Therefore, the emperor promoted Meng Zhu in these two months. Just in time, Fengshen Ji Lun was dismissed from the post of minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs due to a mistake in repairing Emperor Qianlong's tomb, and was called the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

When there was a vacancy in the ministerial post, the emperor appointed Shengzhu as minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he was allowed to ride horses in the Forbidden City.

"I didn't expect that the brothers in their family have the same virtue." Returning to Chuxiu Palace, Yuetong couldn't help but mutter.

Yuegui also sighed, "I thought their family should learn from Shengzhu's lesson and learn to behave themselves."

The twenty-twenty-year-old just smiled faintly and said, "You two, don't look at me secretly. I don't have anything unhappy in my heart."

Nian Twen's eyes were calm, "We can see it, but the emperor can't see it? We can remember the things about Sheng Zhu, but the emperor won't remember it? Let him go, the emperor has his own mind

Holy Judgment."

.

When Twenty-Twenty met Meng, Concubine Hua over there took more notice. Originally, she was more familiar with the brothers from Queen Xiaoshu's mother's family than Twenty-Twenty.

She felt quietly happy in her heart.

On this day, the imperial doctor came to check her Ping An pulse. As usual, he should be led by a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Concubine Hua gave the order and it was Meng Zhu's turn to come to her palace.

"When I met my third uncle, he was still a young man."

Concubine Hua was so polite that she stood up to greet her in person. It was as if she was the concubine Hou Jia from the fifteenth prince's house back then, instead of the concubine Hua she is today.

When Meng Zhu saw Concubine Hua like this, he was naturally moved, and he quickly knelt down to say hello, "I wish Concubine Hua to be well. My sister used to mention Concubine Hua often in front of the servants' family, saying that Concubine Hua was the most beautiful.

The harem is unparalleled."

The two of them "carried the sedan chair" to each other, and everyone was happy.

Concubine Hua asked them to sit down and they sat down to talk.

Concubine Hua seemed to mention it intentionally or unintentionally, "...this time the emperor Qiu Xiang Mulan, as the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the third uncle must also be accompanying him, right?"

Meng Zhu hurriedly smiled and said, "Your Majesty's grace, I will follow you and serve you this time."

Concubine Hua lowered her eyes, "Then I don't know who among the imperial officials accompanying me this time has the most favor in Rehe."

Meng Zhu smiled after hearing this, "As far as I know, the emperor did not look for any empress's brand in Rehe. The emperor is busy with state affairs, and this autumn festival will be the last few months of the previous emperor's state affairs.

After finishing the matter within a month, the Emperor will be busy until late at night every night, so..."

Concubine Hua couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, "Oh? There isn't even one?"

Meng Zhu thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I called you Concubine Chun, Concubine Chun and others to have dinner with you... The rest seems to be nothing."

Concubine Hua asked, "Where are those noble people? Where are the noble people like Ru Guiren, Xin Guiren and others?"

Meng Zhu thought about it carefully again, "Except for the nobles, the emperor has met Xingui, presumably because Xingui is a Mongolian; the emperor has never met the other nobles at all."

Concubine Hua's heart didn't know whether to lift it up or sink.

Originally, as a concubine in the harem, she should be happy to know that the emperor had no care for others in the harem. But... she finally understood that the emperor was not doing this for her, but for someone else.

Concubine Hua then smiled, a little bitterly.
