My concubine is so good at curling

Before coming, Ji Guiren felt that Concubine Shu might not see her, or she might turn a deaf ear to what she said, or add insult to injury. She had ways to deal with these, and she even thought about how to hide her face and leave Bihua Palace in tears to cause controversy in the Six Palaces .

I just never thought that people would be particularly righteous.

Was embezzled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, right?The portion is short of catty and less than two, right?
Seeing that Mrs. Ji Gui couldn't sit still and wanted to get up to stop Zhenqiu, Jiang Xian gave her a look, and Mian Xia stepped forward to push her back on the seat, and said with a very polite smile: "Don't worry, my lord, our mother came out of the palace." As long as what the little master said is true, if you stab the imperial concubine, I will definitely make the decision for you."

Ji Guiren was in a hurry, she just didn't want to stab Rong Guifei in front of her.

The eunuch was used to watching people order dishes, seeing that she was hopeless to be favored, and gradually became displeased with her, and money was not as useful as before. She was eager to find a backer for herself. The original goal was Concubine Zhang Xian and Lu Ronghua. However, these two families did not accept her olive branch, so she had no choice but to turn her idea on Concubine Shu.

If Concubine Shu drives her out with harsh words today, she will be able to use this matter to sell miserably in front of the emperor.

Even if Ji's daughter is not favored, she has no reason to be abused like this.

For the sake of her being wronged, the emperor should comfort her for two days!
"The imperial concubine is busy with affairs, and the concubines are as humble as grass, so how can you bother her with these trivial matters?"

Ji Guiren lost his mind in a hurry, and regretted it after he finished speaking.

Sure enough, Jiang Xian raised her eyebrows: "Then nobleman Ji has the nerve to bother me?"

"The concubine doesn't mean that. It's because the concubine is stupid and can't speak. I've never been a concubine. It's because the concubine is reckless. Please don't bother the concubine with today's affairs."

Ji Guiren almost knelt down for her in the main hall.

Jiang Xian didn't listen, Bihua Palace is a place where you can come and go when you say it?She is now a high-level company with an independent office. A middle-level and lower-level person came to sue the human resources department for personal pockets. After half of the complaint, she said she wanted to run away when she was fine. There is no such cheap thing: "Are you in a hurry to leave? Ben Gong I also plan to invite the imperial concubine to come over—forget it, there is no reason for the imperial concubine to come over."

Ji Guiren was overjoyed when he heard the words: "You shouldn't bother the imperial concubine with such trivial matters."

Jiang Xian put down the teacup and said with a smile, "I'd better bring you to Zhaoyang Palace to confront you face to face."

Ji Guiren's face turned pale.

After Jiang Xian finished speaking, she got up to leave, and the maids and eunuchs around her followed suit, and the chariot was also waiting in front of the gate of Bihua Palace in the blink of an eye.Ji Guiren and the court lady she brought followed me pitifully and helplessly, looking at Jiang Xian from time to time, hoping she was just scaring herself.

But no, Concubine Shu's chariot really headed towards Zhaoyang Palace.

And Chen Guiren, who sneaked over to the main hall to watch the whole process, watched Concubine Shu walk away, and sighed to He Xiang: "She is only afraid of Concubine Concubine, not Concubine Shu? She also suffered from entering the palace late, who doesn't know that we, Concubine Shu Concubine Niangniang is a character who dared to confront the noble concubine as soon as she entered the palace, so she is somewhat confused about the situation."

She ate the melon to her heart's content, and left with a box of candied fruit when she was parting. The maids in the main hall were not surprised by this, and only recorded it on the account——Chen Guiren from the west side hall came to eat and drink again .
-
On the way to Zhaoyang Palace, Ji Guiren was secretly praying that it would be best if the imperial concubine had something to do with her and she would not be in Zhaoyang Palace at all, so that there would be room for maneuver.

However, as soon as Jiang Xian's chariot arrived at Zhaoyang Palace, and the little eunuch guarding the gate had just passed it in, Qiu Yun, the palace maid next to Concubine Rong, warmly greeted her: "The imperial concubine was just talking about you, Concubine Shu!" , the empress came in less than a stick of incense, it can be seen that the empress and my master have a good understanding, please come in quickly."

She didn't even look at Ji Guiren next to her.

It stands to reason that even if the status is low as promised, the maid should salute when she sees her.It's just that Qiuyun thought she was the big maid next to the noble concubine, so she turned a blind eye to her, and she had no choice but to dare not become a servant of the noble concubine in Zhaoyang Palace.

When she heard Concubine Shu's visit, Concubine Rong was enjoying the bird's nest that Qiutang fed her spoonful by spoonful. While she was happy that Jiang Xian came to her on her own initiative, she complained to Qiutang: "I have counted, this little half Concubine Shu went to Jianzhang Palace three times more than Zhaoyang Palace, so it's hard for her to remember Bengong."

"Oh, my lady, you also know that since the birth of Princess Taihua in Jianzhang Palace, she has become incapacitated, so why don't you tell Concubine Shu to help you? It's all business. Come on, Concubine Shu. For our Zhaoyang Palace, it is all a private matter, it is clear at a glance who is kissing and who is not, Madam."

Qiutang was stupid, but Eunuch Ding next to him took the lead.

Rong Guifei heard a smile on her red lips.

That's what she loves to hear.

People raised in the nest of riches and honor always pay special attention to emotional value, and value their own emotions more than money, but Jiang Xian is different. People can't even want money for love.

At this moment, the palace maid quickly walked into the room: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu has arrived."

"Well, come in."

As a result, Concubine Shu followed someone.

After seeing who it was, Concubine Rong's complexion suddenly collapsed: "You came here when you came, why did you bring some irrelevant people?"

Ji Guiren timidly saluted her.

Concubine Rong pretended not to see her, but only looked at Jiang Xian, waiting for her to reply.

The decoration of Zhaoyang Palace is more magnificent than that of Bihua Palace - the Rong family is not only rich, but also likes to send money into the palace for their daughter to spend. Sitting at the top, his icy brows and eyes were not angry and majestic, looking very scary, Ji Guiren's little heart was pounding, and there was a lot of regret.

Look, even the spoiled Concubine Shu can only be questioned in front of Concubine Rong, how dare she provoke Concubine Rong!
"Zhaoyang Palace is so big, I walked in from the outside, and my legs were sore from walking, won't sister give me a seat?"

However, Concubine Shu was tired of her voice, and said something almost coquettish in a sweet voice that Ji Guiren had never heard before.In all fairness, Concubine Shu's voice is very pleasant, but what's the use of being coquettish to the same sex?I'm afraid it will only irritate the imperial concubine even more... When she went to visit other empresses, she deliberately dressed herself in an ordinary and plain manner.

Concubine Shu's words like this are probably not enough to annoy the noble concubine!
"Hmph, clever words." Sure enough, Concubine Rong snorted coldly, as if she didn't want to give her a good face: "Can I miss you a cushion? Come here, sit here."

With cold words, his eyes pointed at the closest place next to her.

A court lady had arranged the seats comfortably, and poured water of moderate temperature beside it. Qiu Yun whispered: "The empress is a person with two bodies. The imperial concubine empress has ordered you not to serve tea for the empress, for fear of harming the fetus." good."

"I want you to talk more!"

Concubine Rong glared at her.

"I've known about my sister's care for me a long time ago. Where else would my sister be so considerate to me?"

Ji Guiren felt uncomfortable hearing these words.

Concubine Shu is afraid that she will use the method she used to deal with the emperor to deal with Concubine Rong.

"Heh, it's good that you know, the whole palace will treat you better," Concubine Rong Guifei is very useful: when Ji Guiren squatted until his legs were numb, she asked her: "Tell me." , what is this thing?"

Jiang Xian recounted the story of Ji Guiren going to her palace to cry from the beginning to the end, and finally commented: "Ji Guiren came to my Bihua Palace crying and begged me very earnestly. I felt uncomfortable when I heard it, but The Ministry of Internal Affairs is not under my control! I was afraid that I would stand by and others would say that I was cruel, and I didn't have a clue for a while, so I had to bring her to bother you, sister."

Ji Guiren's heart fluttered when he heard it.

Yes, Concubine Shu, you didn't just stand by and watch, you did something a hundred times more ruthless than this, you brought her to Zhaoyang Palace.

"According to Mr. Ji Gui, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has deducted your food and clothing expenses,"

Concubine Rong waved her hand, signaling Qiutang to put down the small bowl containing half a bowl of bird's nest: "Come and tell me the story."

Ji Guiren: "My concubine..."

"I didn't ask you to say it, let your palace lady say it."

The palace lady brought by Ji Guiren was not particularly clever, she stuttered and talked about the lack of charcoal and cloth, Concubine Rong Guifei didn't have a special reaction when she heard it: "Call Xue Rang over."

Xue Rang is the father-in-law in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

While waiting for Xue Rang to come over, Ji Guiren kept saluting.

When Xue Rang arrived, he first greeted the noble concubine with trepidation. The little eunuch behind him held a tray with both hands on which was placed a palace dress. Its texture could be seen to be extremely thin and soft when observed with the naked eye. It is already shining, and with the change of light and angle, it reflects different colors, which is very gorgeous.The brocade itself is already rare, and it is matched with a large area of ​​flower patterns, making it rich and noble.

"Your Majesty, this palace attire cut from eight-fold brocade is a filial piety for your Majesty because the servant looks good."

As the most lucrative department in the harem, it is reasonable and legal for Xue Rang to hold some rare samples.After all, no matter how good things are paid to the palace from all over the world, they cannot be used directly, but should be studied and pondered by professionals. If there are violations of regulations and taboos, they will be dropped after thorough examination everywhere. After going to the real place, after being approved by the queen, it will be sent to the hands of the empresses of the palaces, and it will be used as a cloth in the order, or a rare item for rewarding people.

The similarity between the imperial palace and the big group is that the process is extremely complicated.

The samples sent in from outside the palace to the Ministry of Internal Affairs will naturally not be sent back by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They are regarded as consumables on the surface, and there is a lot of room for manipulation in how to deal with them in private.Power is as great as Xue Rang, and it is common to use it as a filial piety to the empress.

"The empress takes better care of the servant than the parents. During the Longevity Festival, the servant was careless for a while, and the slaves under him were fooled. Fortunately, the empress rescued the slave. The servant always remembers the kindness of the empress. This filial piety is not as good as the empress treats the slave. One out of ten thousand, this servant only asks for a grace from the empress, if the empress does not dislike it, she will accept the slave's filial piety, and the slave will be very grateful."

Xue Rang put his posture very low, and begged the imperial concubine to accept the gift.

Eightfold brocade is the most fashionable fabric this year. It is only available in the south of the Yangtze River, and the amount sent to Beijing is very small, but the Rong family is not bad at this point. She has seen it before, so Concubine Rong smiled faintly: "I can save you once and twice, but not the third time. Ji Guiren and Concubine Shu cried and told you that the Ministry of Internal Affairs embezzled charcoal and fabrics from her. Do you admit it or not?"

Xue Rang was shocked, and immediately knelt down: "The slave will never dare to do such a deceitful thing! Ji Guiren's charcoal and cloth are all taken according to the quota, and there will never be any shortage of catties. There must have been a misunderstanding."

This matter is not difficult to investigate. Xue Rang is an old steward in the palace, and the evidence is well presented. Under Ji Guiren's paler face, the truth of the matter will be revealed. Just give the worst quality.

Ji Guiren wept, and the maid next to her yelled, she plopped down on her knees and began to cry: "Mr. Xue, don't go too far. My master is a noble person personally appointed by the emperor. If you come to Yizhuxuan to see it, you will know that." Charcoal is so smoky, but if you don't burn charcoal, you will be too cold to wait... The young master can't bear it so he made such a bad plan, I beg your mother to be magnanimous and considerate."

"Green Qi!"

Ji Gui stopped her only after her grand maid had finished what she had to say.

After hearing Luqi finished speaking, Concubine Rong's eyes fell on her: "You let me go to the place where Ji Guiren lives?"

When Luqi was glanced at by her, her kneecaps were trembling.

"The nobles of this palace don't step on low ground."

A contemptuous remark made Ji Guiren's face turn green and pale.

Jiang Xian: "That's where I lived, after all."

"It's time to move. How can people live in such a big place? It's full of servants who are waiting on it. Now Bihua Palace is pretty good, and it's also close to Zhaoyang Palace."

Concubine Rong said.

"You heard what she said, Xue, what do you say?"

Xue Rang looked innocent: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs is just following the rules. No matter how much the nobleman has, Ji Guiren can take as much as he wants. No more and no less. Even the same batch of cloth has different colors. , the slave can only guarantee that the cloth delivered to the young master is complete, and as for the charcoal that smokes...except silver charcoal, what kind of charcoal burns without smoke? The young master is precious, and the slave is helpless."

Silver charcoal is good, who doesn't know?

You also have to see if you are worthy.

Ji Guiren has already been said to be terrified, but Xue Rang changed the subject and started talking about other things: "I often hear that Lu Qi, who is next to Ji Guiren, often rewards the eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Lord is very satisfied with our family, and he also allowed the idle eunuchs to help Yizhuxuan, which is against the rules, and the slave was disturbed by Ji Guiren's words, so he returned all the money and hoped that the empress would forgive him."

Since entering the palace, Ji Guiren spent a lot of money in the House of Internal Affairs in order to live a comfortable life.

There are also a few hundred taels if you smash it down.

This amount of money is enough to move the eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but it is a drop in the bucket for Xue Rang. What he said means that it will not be easy for Ji Gui to have money in the future.

"It's good if you can reflect on yourself. I allow you to make up for your mistakes. You go back with Ji Guiren and see if there is any reformation in Yizhuxuan, or if it should not belong to her, it will be returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

The furniture and roof that had been repaired with money were all chipped away.

Everything bought with silver was taken away.

Of course, Xue Rang also returned the silver taels to her—but the "depreciation price" was deducted. After all, many items have been used, so they can't be used by other noble masters casually. It's against the grade to promise to always be there. .

Both Ji Guiren and Lu Qi were dumbfounded.

This previous dynasty was a house raid, there had never been such a shameful precedent in the harem, but Concubine Rong never took back what she said, even though Ji Gui begged her, she did not waver in the slightest.In one afternoon, most of the harem knew that Ji Guiren's Yizhu Pavilion had been copied, and that it was written by Concubine Rong Gui.

What a majestic battle of the concubine.

Most of the harem is thinking that Concubine Rong has no children, and sooner or later she will be frustrated.

It's just that no one expected that day to come so soon.
