Work overtime

Chapter 602 Sister Shun, please spare your life
The next day, Fang Changzai left with the purple jade bracelet gifted by the emperor in a very ostentatious manner.

The quality of the bracelet is not high-end, but the quality of the bracelet is not much different. The key is that the color is eye-catching, which suits Fang Chang in this conspicuous bag.

It is clear that Su Chang is always there, and Fang Chang is also always there. The latter is just a bit stronger than the former in terms of momentum. To put it bluntly, at least she has the momentum that a concubine should have.

Her clothes and makeup are still very plain and simple, and she abides by the rituals of the filial piety period. Fang often works hard on her eyebrows, rouge, and lipstick to make her look enchanting and charming, with a 100% chance of turning heads.

Whether she was standing or sitting, she would raise her hand from time to time to lift the hair hanging down from her ears, revealing her smooth and round wrists and the valuable purple jade bracelet.

That strand of hair seemed to be equipped with a perpetual motion machine. It was always pulled up to the ears and soon returned to the ears again, needing to be lifted again.

A patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder like Xie Guiren felt extremely uncomfortable. He stared at Fang Changzai, wishing he could cut off this shameless strand of hair for Fang Changzai with a knife.

"Look at how Sister Fang is dressed. Those who know her say she is Chang Zai, but those who don't know her think she is a concubine or above."

As he spoke, he looked specifically at the concubines in his palace.

Fang Chang was playing with the bracelet on his wrist and said casually, "Unlike Sister Xie, I am just a vulgar person. I only like tacky things like jewelry to show off, and I can't learn from Sister Xie's nobility and elegance."

Fang Changzai simply put it off and said everything the other party said, leaving people speechless.

While talking, the hair slipped to the front again. As she flirted, she raised her eyes charmingly and showed a smile that charmed all living beings. Everyone's hearts were weighed down by a big stone.

Xie Guiren: "It seems that Sister Fang has risen in rank and become bolder."

"Who isn't?" Fang promised to smile nonchalantly, "As a human being, the most important thing is to be happy. Since the emperor has rewarded you, why shouldn't you wear it? Otherwise, it would be like that... yes... it seems like the pearl is covered in dust. ~”

Not only thank you, but all the ladies present felt very uncomfortable.

Because they have been taught since childhood to use wood shavings to comb their hair neatly and refreshingly. I have to find a way to fix the small pieces of hair on my temples. There is absolutely no room for messy and fluffy hair like Fang Changzai's, which looks sloppy and undignified.

When Fang Changzai flipped his hair again, He Fei finally couldn't help but say.

"Meng Zhaoyi, please teach Sister Fang how to use wood shavings water to fix the fine hair. Sister Fang may not know how to use wood shavings water yet."

Meng Zhaoyi immediately responded cautiously.

To be honest, she felt like her heart was crawling, like a cat's claws clawing at the pit of her heart. She endured it again and again, just waiting to see who couldn't bear it first.

When Fang Chang was thanking me, he still showed off the purple jade bracelet on his wrist, "Thank you, concubine, for your kindness. It seems that I have never received anything called wood shavings water."

The concubine's management of palace affairs basically focused on the general direction, not such details.

There are rules and regulations for what equipment is equipped at different levels, so she doesn't need to worry about it. Fang Changzai said that he had never seen wood shavings water, either because concubines of her level did not have it, or they were deducted by the Shang Gong Bureau.

So I asked Gu Xuanshi, and Gu Xuanshi said she didn't have it either. I asked Lin Xuanshi, but he said no.

The thing is simple, it belongs to the first situation. He Fei announced on the spot that she had the final say and that from now on any grade of wood shavings water could be used.

Fang Changzai took Gu Xuanshi and Lin Xuanshi to express his gratitude. For a while, he conveniently benefited others.

Combined with what Fang Chang had done yesterday to stand up for the palace maid in the Imperial Garden, everyone felt a little uncomfortable, but they couldn't explain where they felt uncomfortable.

Su Changzai watched with cold eyes and remained silent, taking in Fang Changzai's words and deeds and seeing them very clearly.

Everyone felt uncomfortable because Fang Changzai, in addition to labeling himself as "maverick", "charming" and "outspoken", was also promoting the positive attributes of "chivalrous and righteous".

These attributes may seem annoying to them, but that may not necessarily be the case in the eyes of the emperor. After all, Fang Changzai's upgraded version of Zhen Jieyu is quite popular.

Shun concubine does not have this kind of character. She sat there silently, staring at the bracelet on Fang Chang's hand.

Before Meng Zhaoyi entered the palace, the emperor also gave her two pairs of bracelets. A pair of purple jade and a pair of Xiu jade. The grade of the pair of purple jade was much higher than this one, and she was reluctant to take it with her. The pair who have been carrying Xiuyu with them. I was thinking of using the purple jade one to show off on special occasions.

Because of previous encounters, there was always a trace of timidity in my heart, and I never dared to be too showy.

Now that Fang Changzai has stolen the limelight, wearing it again is considered a red shirt.

The more Ye Suhua looked at the bracelet, the more he felt unhappy. Annoyed by a moment of sympathy, he saved Fang Xuanshi. Otherwise, God might have accepted this monster long ago.

Unfortunately it's too late to regret.

Concubine Shun couldn't help but smile and sarcastically said: "Sister Fang is not lifting her hair, it's just to let us see the purple jade bracelet on her hand. In terms of appearance, it's really not that good. It's just for fun."

Fang Changzai's expression changed, then returned to normal, lowering his eyes and stroking the bracelet on his hand. After all, Concubine Shun had saved her life before, so she hesitated.

Then I thought about it, there are no sisters in the harem, even if I save my life, there is nothing I can do. He has already stood up for Meng Zhaoyi. The leader was watching from the side, gritting his teeth and deciding to go one way to the end.

"Of course the things the emperor rewards are good things. Anyway, I like them very much. What kind of bracelet goes with what kind of person. How can I compare with my sister from such a background. Sister Shunbi is more favored than me. The emperor rewarded me with the Xiu jade bracelet. Of course it’s more upscale. But I still think the purple jade bracelet looks better.”

Concubine Shun subconsciously covered the bracelet and glared at Fang Changzai when she heard this, "I am concubine and you are Changzai. You are rude and disrespectful to a high-ranking concubine. Shouldn't you be punished?"

Sitting on the chair, it seemed that I was so angry that I wanted to get up several times, but I still couldn't.

Fang Chang rolled his eyes and chuckled.

I thought to myself, you can't convince me, so you just use your position to suppress others, you will only look stupid and incompetent. If you really care, you might as well come over and slap me like Su Changzai, and I will just accept it and repay the debt I owed you.

Fang Chang quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and finally decided not to make trouble this time. Anyway, the boat is small and easy to turn around.

Smiling, he walked up to Shun Bin and curtsied, "Sister Shun Bin, please spare your life. We all know that the emperor loves Sister Shun Bin. She is my sister and I was quick to speak and said the wrong thing. Can I give my sister an apology?"

Then he turned to look at Concubine He: "Concubine Concubine, do you think this is okay? Concubine He, can you please beg a favor for me so that you don't punish me?"

As a result, the commotion made it even more difficult for the concubine to come down.

Concubine He felt that her energy and blood were insufficient and her brain was slow. She was not as smart as Concubine Jianing, and she had no intention of winning over anyone. So I never like to take the initiative to get involved in trivial matters. I just like to watch movies. Unless you have to take care of it, just make a statement and smooth over the situation.

He raised his eyelids and nodded slightly, "Okay. Since Sister Fang knows that she is wrong, concubine Shun, don't embarrass her. They say gold is valuable and jade is priceless, not to mention that they are all gifts from the emperor. Wear a fresh one That’s about it.”

Shunbi breathed heavily in her chest and almost fainted. It was obvious that the other party was choking and showing no respect. When did it become my fault?

The most terrible thing is that she is reluctant to wear the high-end purple jade bracelet. The Xiu jade bracelet on her hand is indeed of average quality and not high-end. Fang Changzai knows the goods. She subconsciously covered the bracelet to prevent it from being exposed, and was looked down upon.

Fang Changzai didn't care whether Concubine Shun agreed or not, and simply knelt down and saluted again. He exposed the purple jade bracelet arrogantly again and let the bracelet slide back and forth along his wrist.

"Sister Shunbin, please forgive me."

Fang Changzai really didn't care about the quality of the purple jade, as long as the emperor rewarded her.

What she wants to show off is not the bracelet, but the emperor's favor.

Favor is the talisman of women in the harem.

No matter how stupid Concubine Shun was, she could see that she had turned victory into defeat. At this time, no matter how she answered, she seemed stingy and jealous. She raised her chin in a pretentious manner, "It's okay to admit your mistake. I won't do it again."

Just such a sentence consumed all the little gratitude left in Fang Chang's heart.

"Sister Xie Shunbin is very tolerant~" and blatantly winked at her.

Throughout the whole process, Meng Zhaoyi remained silent, quietly drinking tea and watching the show. Everyone gathered to watch Concubine Shun and Fang Changzai. She was crowding around.

After the morning meeting, the emperor sent someone to pick up Xiao Changzai and accompany him.

Everyone watched with envy as Xiao Changzai went to see the emperor in a special car. If he didn't want to walk in the bright sun, he would have to squeeze into the commuter bus with others.

The commuter shuttle bus has been reduced from six people to four people, and an ice box has been added, making it look like an air-conditioned bus.

Compared with the previous conditions, it has improved a lot. Because they have lived a hard life, such conditions have made the workers feel very satisfied.

But Meng Zhaoyi did not take the shuttle bus today. Naturally, it became the focus of the topic.

There are two main guesses: one is to go to the Qinzheng Palace to see the emperor; the other is to go to the Emerald Lake to enjoy the lotus.

They guessed correctly. Meng Zhaoyi went to Qinzheng Hall to ask for an audience with the emperor.

Li Beichen was very busy at this time. It was the prime time to focus on criticizing the papers and thinking about countermeasures.

In the afternoon, we will listen to the Executive Yuan’s work report and give opinions on the plans proposed by the Executive Yuan. If there is no preparation in advance, it is easy to lack understanding of the problem or not think deeply enough and be biased. During discussions, it is easy for ministers to influence their thinking and make ill-considered decisions.

Wei Wei was a little surprised when he heard that Meng Zhaoyi asked for a meeting.

Stopping the pen in his hand, he thought for a moment and asked Xu Fang to tell Meng Zhao, "Let Meng Zhaoyi go back first and talk about it in the evening if you have anything to do."

After speaking, he continued to read the memorial without raising his head. Xiao Changzai, on the other hand, lowered his head and quietly polished the ink, as if he was invisible.

Li Beichen likes Xiao Changzai the way he is now.

Dress plainly and lightly, and wear conservative and simple clothes that will not distract people. He doesn't like to talk or tease. Any questions will be answered, concisely and to the point. The movement is light and smooth. The whole process is in silent mode.

He didn’t know that in modern society, this would be a humanoid AI, which is smart and easy to use, does not disturb people, has no pop-ups, and can run automatically in the background.

After being blocked directly outside the palace by Li Beichen, Meng Zhao did not leave directly. Instead, he stood outside the palace and waited for a while, pretending to expect Li Beichen to change his mind and couldn't wait to see him, before reluctantly leaving.

Meng Zhao was slightly disappointed, but not particularly disappointed because her main goal was achieved.

She didn't meet Li Beichen because of the commuter bus.

Because she deliberately pretended to have slept through the station that day, until the little eunuch finally made a special trip to send her back, just to test the emperor's intentions and give him a chance to solve her difficulties.

She prepared a rule-breaking slope for the emperor.

If the emperor feels sorry for her and intends to break the rules he has set for her, then he can borrow Poxiadonkey to solve her travel problem. And she can also use this matter to communicate with each other and express her gratitude to the emperor in the evening communication.

If the emperor is unwilling to break the rules, it is just an interesting story for her, which reflects her naivety and casualness, and also secretly shows that she is a beloved and lacks sleep because of her attendant. Neither side will lose face.

Obviously the emperor has already answered. Willing to make concessions for her, but not change the rules.

When she saw Li Beichen, she just wanted to invite the emperor to rest with her tonight.

That kind of feeling only lasts a few times, but it is so ecstatic and addictive.

She wanted it again tonight.
