Hongguo held a pink round-necked coat and said with a smile: "The emperor will return to the palace soon, so you might as well wear this shirt."
Wen Xiaotu raised his eyebrows and said, "With the way I look now, are you sure the Queen Mother will still let me go to see the saint?"
Hong Guo was stunned. The Emperor had triumphed, so the Yi Nian Palace would naturally have a family banquet to celebrate. According to the rules, all concubines should go there. But Cai Ren's appearance was now ruined. Previously, Cai Ren went to the Yi Nian Palace to seek the Queen Mother's decision, but he was not allowed to enter.
The palace gate, let alone such a happy day.
Wen Xiaotu said: "Forget it, no need to work anymore."
Bi Lian was a little dissatisfied: "The young master is also a concubine who has been officially granted a position. Why can't he meet the emperor? When the emperor comes back, he will definitely make the decision for the talented person!"
Wen Xiaotu smiled, this kid Bilian is really innocent.
However, she was not sure how the emperor would deal with it and whether he could see the true face of Fang Jieyu's green tea.
The main reason is that she doesn't understand Emperor Tianze, who is said to be a womanizing and selfless master... Wen Xiaotu only hopes that the rumors are true.
Bi Lian hummed in a low voice: "I heard that the Emperor is about to make a triumphant return. Fang Jieyu hasn't been here for seven or eight days. I heard that she is busy getting new clothes and new jewelry!"
Wen Xiaotu smiled slightly, she wished Fang Jieyu would never bother her again.
Hongguo said softly: "It's okay if you don't come." After saying that, Hongguo put away the pink twig coat and brewed another cup of jasmine tea and served it.
Wen Xiaotu took a sip of this green tea with a strong floral aroma. Her mouth was full of fragrance. It was really good tea. This was a gift from the Empress Dowager Yue Qian.
Before the original owner was disfigured, the Queen Mother was really good to the original owner.
The bedroom door was knocked twice, and the eunuch Xiao Yuanbao reported outside: "Talent, Peilan, the eldest maid of the Concubine Xian's palace, is here."
Concubine Xian? This is the number one person in the harem. Because Queen Hu died due to rebellion, Concubine Xian, the mother of the eldest princess, is the highest-ranking person in the Sixth Palace, and she is also responsible for the affairs of the Sixth Palace under the orders of the emperor.
It can be said that he is her immediate boss.
Now that her immediate boss has sent someone to see her, she naturally wants to meet him.
She quickly picked up the smoky pink veil that was still beside her pillow and put it on, straightened her clothes and walked out of the dormitory.
Peilan is a palace maid about twenty years old, with delicate features. She is also wearing a green dress. However, her hair style is not like the red fruit and green lotus with a double bun, but a Chaoyunxiang fragrant bun with a pair of red gold hairpins.
Begonia hairpin, one look at it and you can tell that it is not just a little palace lady.
Peilan politely said a greeting, "Please greet Mr. Wen. My mother-in-law has always been concerned about Mr. Cai's health, but the eldest princess has coughed again these past two days, and she really can't get away."
Wen Xiaotu was sitting in the armchair, his eyelids were slightly drooped, showing a weak and decadent look, "Concubine Lao Xian is thinking about me, and my body... is just like this."
As he said that, Wen Xiaotu looked like he was trying to cheer up, and said softly: "The eldest princess is like a golden branch and a jade leaf. With God's blessing, she will definitely get better soon."
Peilan said hurriedly: "Thank you so much for your kind words."
As he said that, Peilan rolled his eyes and said suddenly: "It seems that Fang Jieyu hasn't come to visit Cai Ren for some days."
It has indeed been seven days since he came. Wen Xiaotu lowered his eyes slightly and did not want to say anything more.
Peilan smiled warmly and said, "Yes, the emperor has arrived at the Qingliang Mountain Palace now. He will be back after a few repairs. Fang Jieyu naturally has to tidy up in order to meet the emperor."
Wen Xiaotu just said a faint "hmm" and said listlessly: "This is also what it should be."
Peilan looked at Wen Cairen's half-body look like dirt, and sighed secretly. She took two steps forward and said in a low voice: "Actually, the empress has always felt sorry for the young master Cai Ren, and this time the newly promoted concubine is the
You have the best temperament. It turns out that the Queen Mother also begged the Queen Mother and wanted you to live with her in Jingyi Palace. Unfortunately, the Queen Mother had other arrangements and pointed out the Yanqing Hall to you——"
Peilan's voice was a little lower: "The talented people know that the newly promoted Lin Xuanshi is our empress's clan sister who has not yet graduated from the fifth service. Lin Xuanshi wants to go to Jingyi Palace, but our empress has not agreed."
Wen Xiaotu only looked at Peilan silently. Concubine Lin Xian indeed valued the original owner very much before.
According to the rules in the harem, at least the ninth concubine must be qualified to raise the prince.
Concubine Lin Xian wanted to have Wen Cairen sent to Jingyi Palace because she wanted to get Wen Cairen's belly.
Although Concubine Xian is the person with the highest status in the harem now, she is only the last of the four concubines. At this level, it would be strange if she does not want to go further.
Wen Xiaotu lost his patience after hearing this, so he asked bluntly: "Does Concubine Xian want me to move to Jingyi Palace?" - To be honest, if it came to this, Concubine Xian would still drag her there.
She would rather live there.
Jingyi Palace is large and spacious. Even if you only live in the side hall, it is much better than Yanqingtang. Although there is an extra boss above your head - Concubine Xian is the immediate superior of the concubines in the harem. In addition, Concubine Xian is the immediate boss of the concubines in the harem.
In charge of palace affairs, under her hands, at least the royalties will not be deducted.
Peilan was choked by Wen Cairen's words, and she smiled: "Master Cairen has forgotten that Yanqing Hall was pointed out to you by the Empress Dowager. How can we, the Empress, move the palace to you at will?"
Wen Xiaotu became even more listless in an instant, "Oh, Miss Peilan, can you tell me, what does the Concubine Xian mean? I am stupid and can't quite understand what the girl just said." - The original owner said it so easily.
Being tricked by Fang Jieyu, it can be seen that the city is too shallow, so it is appropriate for her to pretend to be stupid at this moment.
Peilan secretly cursed that Wen Cairen was really a fool, but he could only put up a kind smile on his face, "Cairen has suffered a great injustice this time, but after all, the Queen Mother has to care about the Qingyang Marquis Mansion and Jinning."
The eldest princess. Therefore, my mother-in-law can’t say what Helan Jieyu will do with her, but... Fang Jieyu... She was so at odds with Helan Jieyu before, so why did she not have any doubts about the rouge Helan Jieyu sent her?
After checking, I forwarded it to you?"
Wen Xiaotu looked at Peilan steadily. It seemed that Concubine Xian was also suspicious of Fang... so just right.
Wen Xiaotu lowered her eyelids and bit her lip, "You mean... no, no, Fang Jieyu and I are blood relatives, how could she harm me?"
Peilan hurriedly said: "As far as I know, Fang Jieyu's mother, Mrs. Xu, and Cai Ren's mother are just uncles and sisters, and they are only distant relatives. Besides, Fang Jieyu grew up in Nan Province freely, and you and Cai Ren are on your own."
I’m not familiar with it when I’m young…”
Wen Xiaotu is not good at acting, but fortunately her face is now covered with veil. She hurriedly covered her face and cried: "Stop talking! There is no real evidence. I don't believe a word of your words!"
Peilan frowned secretly. Fang Jieyu's methods were meticulous. The empress had secretly investigated, but she couldn't find any real evidence. Even the Queen Mother only found out that the rouge was mixed with poisonous poinsettia by Helan Jieyu...
"This is what I said..." Peilan curtsied, "You might as well think about it, it will be obvious who will benefit the most from this matter."
Seeing that Peilan had left happily, Wen Xiaotu wiped away the tears that did not exist, but felt a little relieved in his heart. It seemed that revenge was not impossible.
Concubine Xian... Although Concubine Xian only has one daughter, she obviously does not want anyone to threaten her status in the future.
Fang Jieyu's father, Fang Qingru, was a lecturer in the East Palace in the past, and was one of Emperor Tianze's teachers when he was the crown prince. Therefore, after Emperor Tianze ascended the throne, Fang Qingru was very important and is now the governor of Jiangnan Province. Therefore, she
She is a cousin who can be regarded as the emperor's junior sister. In terms of affection, she is no less generous than this cousin Helan Jieyu.
For this reason, the Empress Dowager gave Fang the position of Jieyu, the third-ranking official.
Jieyu is only one step away from the throne. As long as she is the favored one, she can be directly ranked as the ninth concubine if the emperor likes her. It can be said that she is not far away from the position of the fourth concubine. If she gives birth to a son and a half daughters in the future, she will live in the ninth concubine.
Above Concubine Lin Xian, it is very possible to even aspire to the throne.
Therefore, Concubine Lin Xian wished that these two Jieyu were all in bad luck.
