At this moment, when she heard Manager Xia's words, she suddenly reacted and couldn't help but guess: "You mean, someone tipped you off that day?"
So, Eunuch Xia told her what happened to Cabbage after coming out of Biquan Palace that night, and meaningfully advised her: "You may feel that this world is very unfair. You have done nothing wrong, but you want to
It is reasonable for you to feel aggrieved for enduring so many hardships for no reason. I can understand you, but I also hope you can understand that no matter how many bad people there are in the world, there are still good people."
After Eunuch Xia left, Bihe still stood there blankly, his mind full of doubts and surprises. Why would Cabbage help her? Although the two of them had a pretty good relationship on weekdays, they wouldn't let Cabbage help her like this.
Full of confusion, she found the cabbage that was watering the flowers.
Bihe didn't beat around the bush with him and asked directly: "Why do you want to help me tell the truth and ask Manager Xia to rescue me?"
Cabbage immediately showed a surprised expression of "How do you know these things?" and then scratched his hair in embarrassment: "I don't like the Queen very much. If she hadn't appeared in the first place, Le Fei would not have died, and I
I think you're a very nice person. Anyway, it's just a small effort, so I won't lose anything by helping you."
At this point, she quickly added: "You must keep these words secret for me, and never let the Queen know about it, otherwise she will definitely take my skin off!"
Seeing her shrinking her neck and looking cautiously scared, like a timid squirrel, Bihe couldn't help but chuckle, and the haze of the past few days was dispelled: "Thank you."
Bihe said it sincerely. She will remember this kindness in her heart and will definitely repay her if she has the opportunity in the future.
Perhaps it was because of Cabbage's kindness that Bihe suddenly reined in the reins in front of the blackened cliff, or maybe it was because she saw Cuiwei in the laundry room who was bullied by the nuns and gave her a taste of pleasure.
Taste, she gradually became cheerful, no longer hiding in a corner every day secretly hating the world, but actively stood up and returned to her post to serve the emperor more wholeheartedly.
Although she was disfigured, the emperor did not dislike her because of this, and still allowed her to maintain her status as the eldest maid of Jinhua Palace, which was a tacit recognition of Bihe's status beside him.
Seeing Bi He come out of the haze of disfigurement little by little, Eunuch Xia was very pleased, as his previous persuasion was indeed not in vain.
After experiencing the disfigurement, Bihe looked more calm. The little maids in Jinhua Palace who thought she would be sent out of the palace couldn't help but think about taking over her position as the eldest maid. Now that they saw her, not only did they not
Being squeezed down, they tended to stand firmer and stronger, so they could only silently suppress those little thoughts.
Bihe and Cabbage did not get closer because of the tip-off. Normally, the two of them still did their own thing, and there was almost no connection. However, in private, Bihe often used his position to give Cabbage
Get some delicious food, and if someone is looking for trouble with Cabbage, she will help Cabbage without leaving any trace.
Eunuch Xia knew this very well, but he just turned a blind eye.
Because the Queen was banned, the entire Chunning Palace seemed particularly deserted. Those people who usually wanted to get into the Chunning Palace to find jobs in front of the Queen were all gone now. The door of Chunning Palace
Fallen leaves were scattered all over the ground, and no one was cleaning them up.
When Mrs. Qi, the wife of the Prime Minister, came to the gate of Chunning Palace, she saw such a miserable and cold scene. She couldn't help frowning and scolded the little eunuch who was standing at the door to greet her: "You are all blind."
? There are so many leaves, but there are no two people to clean them, it’s simply unreasonable!”
The little eunuch quickly bowed down, apologized repeatedly, and promised that he would be cleaned up later, and then he invited the angry Mrs. Qi through the door.
When she saw Wang Shuhua, Mrs. Qi stepped forward and saluted: "My wife pays homage to the Queen. She may live a thousand years."
Wang Shuhua immediately stretched out her hand to help her up: "We are all members of our own family. Mother, there is no need to be polite. Please sit down quickly."
After Mrs. Qi sat down, she saw that her daughter's face was pale. Because she was too thin, her chin looked pointed, and her whole body looked very haggard. Mrs. Qi couldn't help but hold her hand and sighed: "You have suffered."
Wang Shuhua, who had been holding on and refused to show weakness, finally couldn't help but her eyes turned red when she heard this, and the big tears fell one after another like broken beads. The palace maids and eunuchs next to her had already retreated knowingly.
They went out, and now they were the only two people left in the house. While helping her daughter wipe her tears, Qi said distressedly: "Poor child, just cry if you want. It will make you feel better."
Wang Shuhua simply hugged her mother and cried loudly. It was not until she was tired of crying that she gradually calmed down and sobbed softly from time to time. She choked and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he bullied others too much! He left me, a royal queen, alone.
I ignored him and insisted on hooking up with those despicable maids. I just wanted to teach that ungrateful maid a lesson, so he sent people directly to my palace to beat them away, and even got my eldest maid in.
I have been suffering in the clothes bureau, and now my palace phoenix paper has been taken away. I, I have become a big joke in the palace! If this continues, what is the point of me being a queen?!"
Qi held her gently and comforted her softly: "What kind of woman His Majesty likes is His Majesty's business. As a Queen, you should be generous and tolerant. How can you act jealously? This time it is you who do it.
You were not very thoughtful and let someone catch your pigtails, which is why you suffered such a big loss. In the future, you should be more thoughtful and stop contradicting His Majesty. After all, he is the king and he favors one or two women.
What a weird thing."
"But I just feel unwilling!" Wang Shuhua's eyes were filled with tears, "I like him so much and I have paid so much for him. Why doesn't he even want to look at me? What on earth did I do wrong?
How could he arouse such heavy prejudice from him?!"
"I have also heard about what happened in the palace. In my opinion, your Majesty may still be thinking about the concubine Le from two years ago." As a bystander, Mrs. Qi naturally saw it more clearly, and she could tell the truth in one sentence.
Wang Shuhua said loudly: "That bitch has been dead for two years! Two years! Isn't that enough for him to forget her?!"
Qi sighed: "In the hearts of some people, the living can never compete with the dead."
She and Wang Qiuyu were not the first couple. She was actually Wang Qiuyu's step-mother. Over the years, she gave birth to two sons and one daughter for Wang Qiuyu. However, in Wang Qiuyu's heart, he still felt sorry for his first wife, who had been dead for many years.
They kept thinking about it. The husband and wife didn't say anything about this matter, but they both knew it well. Qi felt like there was a thorn in her heart. It hurt so much when she touched it. But she couldn't pull it out, so she had to
Grit your teeth and endure it.
Wang Shuhua asked: "What should I do? Is this the end of my life?"
"I can only endure it," Qi's eyes flashed darkly, her expression cold and forbearing, "Even if I can't bear it anymore, I can only hold it in for dear life."
"But I'm not willing to give in!" Wang Shuhua cried with tears all over her face. "I have paid so much to step into this palace gate. If I can't get His Majesty's favor, what's the point of living for me? I'm still so young.
, I still have so much time left in my life, and I don’t want to live a life of compromise!”
She is the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family. She has been pampered and pampered by her parents since she was a child. She can never bear the thought of herself being wronged like this in the future!
What she wants to get, even if she resorts to any means, she must get it!
If she really can't get it, just destroy him. Anyway, if she can't get it, she can't let others get it!
Thinking of this, Wang Shuhua's expression gradually turned gloomy and cruel. She wiped away the tears on her face and said with a cold smile: "Mother, go back and tell your father that I have been wronged in the palace and ask him to come to the palace to see you sometime.
Look at me, I have something I want to tell him face to face."
Mrs. Qi saw that something was wrong with her expression, but instead of trying to persuade her, she nodded and said, "Okay."
Two days later, Prime Minister Wang Qiuyu entered the palace and talked secretly with the queen for two hours.
When Xiao Feng received the news, he was practicing calligraphy in the attic. He waved his arms and wrote a big word "quan" in one go. His handwriting was free and neat, vigorous and powerful, and very imposing.
He put down the brush, and Eunuch Xia immediately touched the wet handkerchief and helped him clean his hands.
Xiao Feng walked around the desk, walked to the window, opened the window, and the moist air rushed in. He looked at the world outside, and the green banana leaves were still covered with the remaining rain from last night, and he said casually: "
Continue to keep an eye on the Prime Minister's Mansion, and remember not to alert others."
Liu Changchang bowed his head and agreed.
Xiao Feng said to Eunuch Xia: "Go and frame that piece of writing and put it away. I will use it to give away later."
Eunuch Xia: "Yes."
A butterfly flew in from the window, circled around Xiao Feng twice, and finally stopped on the window lattice at his hand, swaying its wings gently, looking very leisurely.
Xiao Feng looked at the butterfly playfully. After a moment, his expression gradually changed.
He remembered that there was also a butterfly birthmark on Xiao Lezi's back.
Because it is located on the butterfly bone on the back, usually only very close people can see it. He has seen it many times before, but never took it to heart. He just regarded it as an ordinary birthmark, but now that he thinks about it, he
I couldn't help but think about it a little more.
He suddenly asked: "What did Concubine Le go to southern Xinjiang for?"
The topic changed so quickly that Liu Changchang was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "It is said that he is going to southern Xinjiang to join his relatives."
Xiao Feng's mind was spinning rapidly: "Go and find out who in the Qu family is from southern Xinjiang?"
Just as Liu Changchang was about to agree, he heard Eunuch Xia suddenly say: "When the old slave was still working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he once attended the wedding of Prime Minister Qu. It is said that his wife, Lan, is from southern Xinjiang. That person
Mrs. Lan is very beautiful, and the late Emperor once praised her appearance personally after seeing her." It is precisely because of this that Eunuch Xia was particularly impressed by her. Looking back now, he can still clearly remember her in his mind.
