Hongzhu thought for a moment, and when Wu Zhaoyi arrived, what she said back and forth with Zhou Yuzhen was just a dispute between two cousins, and she couldn't see what was interesting about it.
Hongzhu couldn't figure out what it meant, and she didn't understand why he hid for so long. Wu Zhaoyi had already left for a long time.
Lihua chased out and bumped into Concubine Zhao's movements. Concubine Qing and Hongzhu naturally heard it.
However, the distance was too far and there was a rockery blocking them. They could only occasionally hear one or two of Concubine Zhao's excited words, but the rest could not be heard clearly.
But even so, Concubine Qing had no intention of leaving at that time.
Hongzhu secretly said that his master has become more and more sophisticated recently and is difficult for people to understand, but he never understands what his master is thinking.
On this special day, they made a special trip to Zhuangning Palace. Hongzhu thought that Concubine Qing went there because she was worried about the Queen Mother.
But Concubine Qing did not go to see the Queen Mother, and neither of them even came near. They only looked at the gate of Zhuangning Palace from a distance and left.
Then they walked to the rockery pavilion that resembled Jiangnan. Hongzhu secretly wondered if her master was waiting for the Long Live Lord. After all, on this special day, the emperor would most likely go to Zhuangning Palace, and he might meet him while waiting here.
It turned out that it was not the case. Concubine Qing seemed to be aimlessly wandering along the verandah and rockery. Later she met Zhou Yuzhen by chance.
Hong Zhu could finally see that Concubine Qing was a little surprised when she saw Zhou Yuzhen.
However, Concubine Qing's kind appreciation for Zhou Yuzhen's small promise and her reminder of the specialness of this day, as if she meant to make friends, made Hongzhu unable to understand it.
A series of things happened next, and every move Qing Fei made was beyond Hong Zhu's expectation. She could not guess her master's intention at all.
At this moment, Zhaoyi is just a little kid, so there is no need to avoid his sharp edges. She seems to be afraid.
Hongzhu secretly sighed helplessly. Her master was not favored by the Queen Mother, and he always refused to fight or grab him. Even when he was wronged, he silently endured it.
She really wanted to persuade the Qing concubines to fight for it, lest everyone in the palace forget that their master was the head of the three concubines and the master with the highest status in the harem.
At this moment, Hongzhu looked in the direction of Concubine Qing and said, "My dear concubine, if they had just discovered..."
If she wanted to persuade her, it would be better to go out. If she was found out, she would be wrong.
After all, being caught on the spot is suspected of eavesdropping, which can easily cause misunderstandings, put yourself at a disadvantage, and in vain increase the arrogance of others.
But before she finished speaking, Concubine Qing turned to look at her with a meaningful look, and said calmly: "It doesn't hurt if you find out, doesn't it?" Then she walked away.
Hong Zhu was startled, and suddenly realized that her master didn't care, and it was not like she thought he was trying to avoid others.
What Concubine Qing meant was that if they were bumped into by Wu Zhaoyi, they would just come out to greet her openly.
They were enjoying the scenery here, so what if Wu Zhaoyi bumped into them, they had no loss at all.
Then why deliberately avoid it?
A question arose in Hong Zhu's mind, and he left immediately.
After dark, Yuchi Gong came back from Cangchen Hall.
He originally wanted to go back to visit the Queen Mother earlier, but there were so many political affairs and everything was so important that he couldn't get away from it.
According to the information recovered from Liangzhou, a large number of private mines have been flowing out of the black market, and their origin is unknown and is still being investigated.
During the reign of the late emperor, Yu Chigong restarted the investigation after seeing the stolen goods that Wu Xue took back, and some clues were now uncovered.
