When the palace servant beside Empress Zheng knocked on Boyi's door, the last trace of ripples in his black eyes had dissipated, and he became the solemn and solemn young man in black again.
The palace man led him through a long corridor, where Yu Qiansi had already been waiting. The palace man who led the two of them to the main hall seemed like two brooks converging into one, and the two of them walked side by side very naturally.
Yu Qiansi glanced at him and saw that his eyes were dark and dark, but he was in good spirits and felt relieved.
Before they even arrived at the main hall, they saw Aunt Cui next to Empress Zheng coming towards her with a smile on her face and saluting her gracefully.
"Thank you sir, I found the stolen items in the palace in just one night."
Behind Aunt Cui were two palace servants holding something covered with red cloth, whose appearance could not be clearly seen.
When the two of them saw this, they knew very well that Empress Zheng had indeed done everything properly. She used this gift to easily reveal the reason why they entered the palace yesterday, and quickly returned the favor.
Aunt Cui then led the two of them into the main hall to serve tea and wait.
"You two adults, please wait a moment. This morning, the saint and your empress went to Taiye Pond to meet several concubines. Before leaving, I was very grateful to learn about the lost property. I asked my slave to ask the two adults to wait a moment and thank you in person.
Only two adults can pass."
Aunt Cui was the old man who followed Empress Zheng, and she was from the Zheng family. She treated her courteously, with just the right amount of care, and had a sincere smile on her face, which made people unable to refuse.
Although Yu Qiansi was worried about Yayin outside the palace, she had to stay.
However, the word "toffee" spoken by Aunt Cui just now triggered some memories in her.
"May I ask Aunt Cui, why did the concubines gather in Taiye Pond today?"
"Today is the birthday of Concubine Yan of Shun Temple. The saint specially allowed the families of the concubines in Shouan Palace to visit the palace. Those old concubines are now obsessed with the emerging opera in the capital, so they set up a stage in Taiye
Chi Tingqu’er is here.”
Shunmiao is the temple name of the late emperor. It must be the concubine who lived in Shou'an Palace.
Yu Qiansi nodded and lowered her eyes, picked up a cup of tea and used the hot air to cover the light under her eyes. She sat down obediently, listening to Boyi and Aunt Cui talking and laughing, and gradually fell into deep thought.
She has never forgotten Guanshi Cao's heart-rending words before his death: "The demon concubine is causing harm to the country."
She recently inquired about the past and discovered that when the late emperor was still alive, there were not many concubines in the harem.
Upon closer inspection, Manager Cao should be someone close to Empress Mingde. Although what he said is vague, if we look closely from his perspective, the so-called "demon concubine" may refer to the family members of the late emperor's harem. If the "demon concubine" refers to
It refers to the birth mother of a saint who is still alive and was not posthumously named "Ming Mourning" after his death, so we also know that she may be the group of Shunmiao concubines who now live in Shou'an Palace.
She had always known nothing about the matters in the palace, but Boyi seemed to understand what she was thinking and led Grandma Cui to bring the topic to Shou'an Palace.
The two of them were talking about the placement of the concubines after the death of the late emperor.
Yu Qiansi put down the tea cup, folded her hands on her knees, and listened quietly.
According to common sense, after the death of an emperor, everyone except the queen and the biological mother of the successor emperor can be released home.
However, due to the border issue at that time, undercurrents were surging in the court and the country was in turmoil. Lin was worried that these concubines would help various families after returning home and secretly stir up the court situation, so she withheld the rights of these shunmiao temples on the grounds that the late emperor was in mourning.
The concubines did not offend them from going to the imperial mausoleum, but only rested in the palace. They often allowed visits from various families, and they were caught and released, leaving the nobles who had suddenly lost their tribe speechless and half-rejected and half-responsed.
After that, ten years passed.
Boyi looked at the nanny Cui in front of him, who seemed to have everything he wanted to say. She told them what Lin had done back then so easily. Did she do it unintentionally or did she do it intentionally?
He didn't believe that the Zheng family would raise such a talkative slave.
Come to think of it, I can only use Lin's incident to test that Yu Qiansi is too poisonous in Qi Guogong's mansion.
Because Wang Song facilitated the marriage with the saint, the Zheng family originally thought that this was another move by Wang Song to control the government. However, he did not expect that when she entered the palace this time, Queen Zheng seemed to have the same heart as the saint. Her subordinates
Servant, not only did he reveal everything about what Lin did ten years ago, but he also had to do it in front of Yu Qiansi.
Is it because the sage used Zheng's words to test the situation, or is Zheng trying to figure out the situation in the court because he is smart?
He couldn't help but look up at Jade Qiansi, who was sitting motionless across from her, like a mutton-fat jade carving. Looking at her like this, he didn't know how much she had heard.
After the saint promised them to thoroughly investigate what happened back then, he thought for a long time about how she could persuade the saint.
After thinking about it, there was only one answer. So I couldn't help but feel that I was in the surging undercurrent.
On the surface, the saint was respectful to Wang Song, but if he was really at ease with Wang Song, how could he follow her advice and ask the two of them to thoroughly investigate what happened in the past, so as to bribe the Qingliu in the court to truly use it for himself?
But what did she think?
In setting up a trap like this, is she completely trusting Wang Song, trusting him to the point where he would not be embarrassed even if she knew she was setting up a trap with him? Or...she is on the side of the saint, and she also has no regard for Wan Song's current power.
How many opinions do you have?
Thinking of this, his heart jumped twice, hitting his chest with a "dong-dong" sound, and the aftertaste of the shock echoed for a long time, making him dare not ponder the joys and sorrows in it.
Because they had other thoughts in mind, the conversation between Boyi and Aunt Cui gradually faded away.
Just when the words were about to fall, the palace people reported that Empress Zheng was driving back to the palace. Aunt Cui breathed a sigh of relief, and with a smile on her face, she followed Yu Qiansi and Boyi to welcome Empress Zheng back to the palace.
Empress Zheng was courteous and considerate, but she also had an appropriate frankness. After entering the palace, she dispensed with all etiquette. After saying a few words of care to the two of them, she stepped back. She did not ask what they had done last night, but only expressed her gratitude for their help.
, ask them if they have any questions, so she can report back.
Yu Qiansi was also polite and caressed the world in Yuli without any hesitation.
Boyi was still worried about how she would cleverly ask about the Prayer Hall, but what Yu Qiansi said had nothing to do with the Prayer Hall.
"Thank you, Queen. I am indeed a little curious about something. I would like to know who in the harem is usually responsible for purchasing goods outside the palace?"
Empress Zheng's exquisite makeup could not hide her surprise, and she seemed not to have expected Yu Qiansi's no-brainer question.
However, the family tradition of the Zheng family should not be underestimated. Before her raised eyebrows could be suppressed, her delicate smile was raised.
"This is not difficult. It can add to what Lord Yu is thinking about. It is what I have been thinking about and dreaming about when I was still in the boudoir. Later, I will go and copy the list of people I want to have sex with and send it to you.
Criminal Division.”
Yu Qiansi stood up and bowed and thanked him. Seeing that his goal was achieved, he did not want to stay any longer. He resigned with Boyi and left under the leadership of the guide from Qingning Palace.
But after leaving Qingning Hall, before Boyi could ask what she had done, she turned around and headed towards Taiye Pond.
Such an action caused the palace people behind her to be a little confused, so they had no choice but to follow her to Taiye Pond like Boyi.
