Xiao Yuanzi called Qian'er and said: "Replying to the master, I heard that Liu Qi from Chonghua Palace is good at writing. If Concubine Yi needs to copy anything, let him do it."
"Liu Qi..." Wei Jingxuan repeated: "What is his identity in Chonghua? Why haven't I heard of this person?"
Xiao Yuanzi took the agarwood comb from Wei Jingxuan's hand and answered while combing his hair, "He is a regular eighth-grade envoy like a slave, but he doesn't often serve Concubine Yi, so the master is relatively unfamiliar with him, but he likes him very much."
I'll bet a couple of times and I'll come over whenever I have free time on weekdays."
Wei Jingxuan nodded and then said: "I heard that in the gambling houses outside the palace, people often gamble and use unfair means to win money. Is there such a thing?"
Xiao Yuanzi said with certainty: "Yes, I have encountered this kind of person once. This kind of person is very ruthless in winning money, but if he is discovered by people in the gambling house, he will have to shed his skin even if he does not die. I encountered this kind of person."
That one had his hands broken alive. Later, he encountered another case. Because he had no money for medical treatment, although the bones grew together, they were not aligned, and his hands could not use force at all. He was completely disabled. Now he is in the capital.
Make a living by begging.”
"Okay!" Saying this, Wei Jingxuan suddenly stood up. Xiao Yuanzi couldn't stop it in time and pulled out the two hairs wrapped around the comb. He hurriedly knelt down and said: "This slave deserves to die. Please forgive me, Master."
crime!"
Wei Jingxuan ignored her torn hair and said cheerfully: "It's okay, get up."
After Xiao Yuanzi stood up tremblingly, she said again: "You will leave the palace tomorrow. In addition to the things I told you before, you will go find the extraordinary person you just mentioned."
Xiao Yuanzi said in surprise: "What are you looking for him for?"
Wei Jingxuan smiled lightly and said: "What do you think? Of course I want to learn a thousand skills from him." Before Xiao Yuanzi asked, she added: "You don't need to learn how to be proficient, you just need to be able to defeat Liu Qi. In the palace,
There shouldn’t be many people who are proficient in a thousand arts, so you don’t need to worry about being discovered.”
Xiao Yuanzi thought for a while and said: "As long as the man is not dead, I should be able to find him, but I don't quite understand what my master means."
Wei Jingxuan clapped her hands and said: "Give those two pieces of paper to my elder brother tomorrow, and he will find someone who is good at copying to imitate the handwriting on the paper. The imperial concubine will definitely think that we took it from her study."
The two pieces of paper came, so I sent people to keep an eye on my eldest brother; but what are the facts?"
Xiao Yuanzi was shocked and asked: "The fact is that those two pieces of paper are still in the master's hand and have never been given to anyone?"
Wei Jingxuan said with a smile: "Yes, it has always been in my hands, but no one knows about it except you and me. Even my eldest brother will think that this is the manuscript of the imperial concubine."
An idea flashed in Xiao Yuanzi's mind, and he blurted out: "I understand, the master is trying to divert the attention of the imperial concubine so that we can act in the palace."
Wei Jingxuan glanced at him and said: "You still have some brains after all. I value you so much. Liu Qi is the most critical step in the whole plan. You must try to win more money from him. The more you win, the better you will be."
We can keep him firmly under our control."
"I understand," said Xiao Yuanzi, "Master wants to use him to copy the handwriting of the imperial concubine?"
Wei Jingxuan nodded and said: "Yes, and he is from Chonghua Palace and will be of great help to us in the future. So you must handle this matter beautifully. If there is any mistake, I will ask you
.”
Xiao Yuanzi repeatedly agreed, and as soon as the palace gate opened the next day, he took his waist card and left the palace, waiting until it was getting dark before returning. Things went very smoothly, and the man who had come out of trouble had been found.
Roasting chicken only gave me some rudimentary skills. Although they were rudimentary, they were enough for Xiao Yuanzi. He just needed to practice a lot to avoid being noticed by others because of his unfamiliar movements.
After saying these things, Xiao Yuanzi took out two banknotes from his arms and handed them to Wei Jingxuan: "Master said they have enough money, so you don't have to give them away in the future."
Wei Jingxuan said in surprise: "Is it enough? Have they all found jobs?"
"This servant doesn't know. When the servant went, the master and the two young masters were all in the house. They didn't look like they were going out on business. In addition, there were a few more servants in the house. The master said that he had just bought something a few days ago.
I’m here, and my clothes are much more elegant than before.”
Wei Jingxuan frowned and said, "Where did my father get so much money? Didn't you ask carefully?"
Xiao Yuanzi lowered his head and said, "I asked a question. The eldest master said it was sent by someone else, but he didn't say who it was."
"How could someone give them money for no reason? There must be something wrong with it." After saying this, Wei Jingxuan said: "You go there again tomorrow and be sure to ask about the source of the money. Don't let anything slip through." Wait.
After Xiao Yuanzi agreed, she said: "Go down and practice hard. You don't need to wait here."
While Wei Jingxuan was carefully planning the layout, Ning, who had been worried that she would not be promoted to the throne, thought about it, went to Yanxi Palace, and brought a treasured wild ginseng.
After some pleasantries, she ordered Cuihuan to open the brocade box and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty is about to be canonized as a queen, and I don't have anything good to congratulate you. Only this branch of wild ginseng can be managed. Your Majesty is the queen of the harem."
I have worked hard day and night to replenish my health, and I hope your Majesty will not find it objectionable."
Xianyue smiled warmly and said: "Ning Guiren has sent such a generous gift, how can I despise it?"
After Zheng Jiu took off the ginseng, Ning said with a hesitant expression: "Mother, I heard something recently, I don't know whether it is true or not."
"What's the matter?" As soon as Ning came in, Xianyue had already guessed why she came, but she just deliberately didn't reveal it.
Ning Shi said tentatively: "I heard that this time the Sixth Palace was consecrated, Qiao Guiren was also included in the canonization, right?"
There are currently seven nobles in the palace, among whom Dai Jiaxueqiao has the least qualifications. If she is really registered as a noble, it means that one of them will be designated as a noble, and she... is probably the one
That person.
Xianyue took the tea cup and took a sip, and said, "Why did Mr. Ning suddenly ask about this? You should understand that you are not allowed to discuss this matter privately before the decree of canonization is made."
Her words made Ms. Ning a little embarrassed, and she said with a red face: "I know I'm guilty, and I was also curious for a moment, so I asked more. If that's true..." She tried her best to squeeze out a smile, "I'm really sorry.
Qiao Guiren
I'm happy that within half a year of entering the palace, she can become the lord of the first palace. She is really a blessed person. Unlike me, who has been with the emperor for so many years and is still just a noble person. Maybe... I can only do this in this life.
