The girl is not good in this life

Chapter 207 Arrangement (Part [-])
The two sisters Zheng Shuangyi and Zheng Shuangxue were summoned into the palace by Queen Zheng.

Concubine Zhen and Zhao Xiyue were also there at that time.

Originally, when Concubine Zhen heard that the sisters from the Zheng family were coming, she would lead Zhao Xiyue to leave.

Empress Zheng stopped her.

Concubine Zhen's face was not very good-looking on the spot, but she kept her head down all year round in front of Empress Zheng, and Empress Zheng might not be able to see it.

Instead, it was the impatience that flashed in Zhao Xiyue's eyes, which failed to escape Empress Zheng's eyes.

Lady Hanzhang led Zheng Shuangyi and Zheng Shuangxue into the hall, and when Zheng Shuangyi saw that Concubine Zhen and her daughter were there, she was also stunned for a moment.

An has been invited to see the ceremony, and now Concubine Zhen is a second-rank concubine who has gone through the canonization ceremony seriously, so she also has to respectfully greet An and salute.

Concubine Zhen originally wanted to turn her knees slightly, which was her politeness and attitude, and she didn't intend to accept this gift from Sister Zheng Shuangyi.

But out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the daughter sitting beside him, gritted his teeth, and sat there motionless, accepting all the courtesy from Zheng Shuangyi and sisters.

Empress Zheng saw it in her eyes and didn't say anything, she beckoned Zheng Shuangyi to come and talk.

When someone sat down beside her, she took Zheng Shuangyi's hand and said with a faint smile, "Your birthday will be half a month away. When I first came to the capital, I promised you that I would treat you well." Arranging a birthday party is all promises, and since I promised you, naturally I can't just go along with it.

It's just that there have been a lot of things going on in the palace recently, and concubine Zhen and his concubine had the canonization ceremony. I'm a person who doesn't work hard for many years. After such a toss, I always feel very tired these days. I have put in all my energy to take care of it for you. "

Zheng Shuangyi nodded obediently: "It's okay, naturally your phoenix body is the most important thing. I'm such an older person, if you really make you work too hard for my birthday banquet, how can I bear it no matter how tired you are? ?”

Empress Zheng shook her head when she heard this: "I said it, and since I promised, there is nothing I can't do, so what am I doing? Promise you casually, turn around and find an excuse to say it, never keep your word, Why stand up? This is shameful."

Zhao Xiyue sat beside and listened. She heard this all the time, her heart tightened suddenly, and she already felt something was wrong, feeling faintly uneasy.

He was about to say goodbye again, and wanted to drag her mother and concubine away from the place of right and wrong.

Empress Zheng has already called her Concubine Zhen.

Concubine Zhen followed the prestige, with a respectful expression, quietly listening to Empress Zheng's next words.

Then I heard Empress Zheng say: "You are also a formal concubine of the second rank now, and when I can't take care of many things in the harem, you should also help me take care of them.

You have served the official family for more than 20 years, and you are the most docile, careful, and cautious. Both the official family and I are most at ease with you.

This time, Yuanniang's birthday banquet will be left to you for the time being.

Whoever you want to use and what you want to use, just go and order the inner government to do it, and I will pass on the word to you, and I will obey you.

Only one.

Yuan Niang grew up in Xingyang for 16 years, and this is the first birthday I celebrated in front of me. After her birthday, I will arrange someone to send their siblings back to Xingyang in early April. This birthday party must be beautiful, Decent and dignified, are you up to it? "

Of course Concubine Zhen wanted to say that she couldn't make it, and she almost blurted out the refusal.

She is used to putting herself in the humblest and most inconspicuous position.

Shrunken, it is best not to be seen by anyone for the rest of her life.

A few days ago, she said that she wanted to be a concubine, but she really couldn't refuse, so she could only accept the official arrangement.

The saint had a calm face, he didn't say anything, and he didn't intend to settle accounts with their mother and daughter. She knew in her heart that it was all due to the Second Highness, and she didn't know how many good things she had said for their mother and daughter in front of the saint.

As it turned out, things were not that simple to uncover.

If you slap the Zheng family in the face, where will you put the saint's face?
Since the Zheng family's dignity was lost on their mother and daughter, they always have to find it back from their mother and daughter.

Now that she is a second-rank concubine, her status has become more distinguished, but the sage ordered her to hold a birthday banquet for a child like Zheng Shuangyi?

The sage was warning her and reminding her.

Those words of refusal can't be said at all.

Concubine Zhen saw Zhao Xiyue's movements with her eyes. She hurriedly pressed her daughter's wrist, and before Zhao Xiyue could speak, she responded to Empress Zheng's order: "The sage ordered me to come down. Followed up.

It’s just that you know the concubine, the sage, who has been mediocre for decades and is the most hopeless person. I’m afraid that the big lady’s birthday party will be ruined at that time.

Or maybe the concubine just blindly display some rare treasures, and doesn't have any elegant taste, for fear that she won't catch the eyes of the eldest lady.

You ordered, and I will try my best to do it, but I have to ask you for forgiveness first, don't turn around and mess it up, the saint and the eldest lady complain that the concubine is useless. "

She is in her teens, and her voice is soft, no matter who listens to her, it is difficult to get angry with her.

Empress Zheng smiled and said it's all right: "It's just a birthday banquet, and there are people from the inner palace to help, so it won't cost you much. If you are really afraid that your taste will not be good, isn't there Yiqing here?

She grew up with me since she was a child, whether it is in the official family or her brothers, how much have they taught her?
You can see and hear, with her such a good helper, what can you do?

Besides, even if it goes wrong, it doesn't matter, I entrusted you with left and right, so can I turn around and settle accounts with you?

Yuan Niang is a child, I just wanted her to show off and have a lively and dignified time. No matter how you make this birthday party, she can only thank you for your hard work. I have to ask her to come to your palace to thank you, but you should say this. "

She thought for a while, her voice paused, and then she said to Concubine Zhen jokingly: "You are a person who is willing to do your best. As long as you do your best, there is nothing good or bad. If you mess up or not, just feel free and bold." It’s not a big deal to do it, and you don’t need to plead guilty and beg for mercy.”

Concubine Zhen smiled when she heard that there was something in her words, and she didn't say a word anymore.

Anyway, it’s better not to say more than to say more mistakes.

Empress Zheng was silent for a long time before she waved her hand and called their mother and daughter to go: "You have been sitting here for a long time to pay your respects, go back, I will talk to Yuanniang Erniang for a while, and I won't keep your mother and daughter."

Zhao Xiyue was indignant, she clearly wanted to say a lot of things, and she couldn't vomit them in her heart.

But Concubine Zhen tightly held her hand, pulled her up, and said goodbye to Empress Zheng, almost pulling her, and with great strength, pulled her out of Hanzhang Hall without mentioning it.
