Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 389: Suspicion (1)
Outside the Jianjia Palace, which is deep in the courtyard, there are unbearable voices of discussion and ridicule.Axi went out to the imperial dining room today to ask for some ingredients, and was going to make a few delicious snacks with her own hands to make Baosi happy, but she didn't expect to be met with the ridicule of some young eunuchs.

"Aunt Axi from Jianjia Palace has come out. Have you heard that the people from Jianjia Palace are now very famous outside of Beijing? They are subjugated evildoers who colluded with foreign ministers. It's really embarrassing to talk about it!" A burst of harsh discussions The sound floated into Ah Xi's ears, and Ah Xi was furious. He scolded the little eunuchs, "What nonsense are you talking about? Be careful, I will report to the king and arrest you all to the Punishment Department!"

When the little eunuch saw Ah Xi getting angry, he immediately dispersed, and before leaving, he dropped a few words of mild irony.

"It's really intolerable and intolerable! Who is spreading rumors outside? Isn't this ruining the reputation of our little master!" The sullen Axi just walked forward, but stunned, he ran into the palace maid of the Shuilong Shuren Palace. Honger.

When Hong'er saw it was Axi, she hurriedly greeted her, "Sister Axi, what's the matter, are you worried?"

Seeing the smiling Hong'er, Ah Xi couldn't help complaining: "Hong'er, you don't know that our Jianjia Palace has been slandered outside the palace, and just now I was angry with a group of little eunuchs who scolded us." The little master is not a human being."

"It's really unreasonable. These snobbish eyes dare to scold the empress on the head. They just watched Wu Susu of Hengwuyuan get favored, so they pushed the wall down and bullied the main palace. Sister Axi, don't worry, Hong'er will tell us My little master." Hong'er's fair face was flushed with anger.

"Sister Jing, since Wu Susu dares to be so lawless and spread gossip outside the palace, then let's not treat her badly. If there is a big celebration in the harem in the future, as long as there is Wu Susu, we will all be sick. See if she is still arrogant!" In Shuilong Shuren Palace, Mrs. Xue, who was still happy just now, was playing chess with Mrs. Jing. After hearing Hong'er's crying, Mrs. Xue suddenly became angry, and said loudly to Mrs. Jing.

"Okay, Sister Xue, I will only follow your lead. I will do whatever you say!" Jinggui agreed without thinking.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival of this year, Ming Gong, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, held a banquet in the Hall of Qinzheng, and the cabinet ministers Cheng Rong, Wu Jin, Lu Kai, Bao Shang and others came to kowtow one after another. Wu Susu, who was six months pregnant, was dressed gorgeously. , sitting proudly beside Ming Gong, but after waiting for a long time, none of the concubines in the harem came, except Wu Susu. Ming Gong couldn't help feeling very puzzled, and turned to ask the imperial eunuch Xiao Ruzi: "Small Ruzi, the queen has an old illness and can't blow the wind, so everyone knows that she won't come. What's the matter with Mrs. Jing and Mrs. Xue?"

Xiao Ruzi replied respectfully: "Long live Qi, Mr. Xuegui and Mr. Jing are sick, and they have sent people to report."

Wu Susu, who was beside Minggong, couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and said coquettishly to Minggong, "Your Majesty, Mrs. Xuegui and Mrs. Jing are obviously angry because they see their concubines being favored, so they purposely embarrass them. They and the empress were sick for a while, maybe they both ventilated each other well!"

Ming Gong's face darkened, and he quickly comforted Wu Susu, saying: "My concubine, it's getting colder today, Mrs. Xuegui and Mrs. Jing are weak, it's reasonable to be sick, don't think about it."

Wu Susu curled her mouth arrogantly, and lowered her head sullenly.

"My Majesty, all the dignitaries from all over the country have posted the greeting papers, wishing the Majesty the Mid-Autumn Festival with blessings and peace, please take a look at the Majesty." At this time, the cabinet minister Cheng Rong held up a stack of memorials and placed them on Ming Gong's desk. On the case table.
