Chapter 57

Bai Zhanke suddenly mentioned about the green bamboo, which made Hua Mujin a little strange, "Do you think there is something wrong with her?"

He responded: "Zhang Quande has already told me, but I just feel that this coincidence is a bit unusual. I have ordered Luochen to investigate, and there should be results soon."

The Zhang Quande that Bai Zhanke was talking about was the eunuch who announced the decree this morning, and he was also the chief eunuch.

"Thank you." The simple two words already contained all of Hua Mujin's gratitude to Bai Zhanke.

Even though she now has a distance from Bai Zhanke and hates him because of what happened before, she also remembers all his kindness in her heart.

"Are you ready?" With a petty smile, Bai Zhanke took out a brocade handkerchief and wiped the oil stains from the corners of Hua Mujin's mouth.

Hua Hibiscus was a little embarrassed, and felt a little awkward. She hid back for a while at first, but Bai Zhanke clasped the back of her head with one hand, forcing her to make an extremely intimate move with the man in front of her.

She nodded hurriedly, and replied with an embarrassed smile, "Eat."

Withdrawing his hand, Bai Zhanke looked at Hua Mujin affectionately, and said, "As a concubine now, you must remember some rules. If you make a slight mistake, you will be caught and will not let go. This harem is no better than other places. Be careful with your words and deeds, you know?"

Hearing this, Hua Hibiscus frowned for a moment.

It is not necessary for Bai Zhanke to say that she also knows that there are so many rules in the harem that they can scare people to death, but it is really difficult to be cautious in words and deeds.

"Since you are worried, why do you still bring me in? Besides, if people don't offend me, I won't offend others. This is the principle I have always acted on. As long as your women don't take the initiative to provoke me, I have the right to treat them as if they don't exist."

"Worrying about you and being my woman are two different things."

"..."

Bai Zhanke's words made Hua Mujin very speechless. At this moment, she felt that Bai Zhanke was a very difficult man to deal with.

Perhaps because she was tired, Hua Mujin yawned.

Seeing this, Bai Zhanke asked, "Are you sleepy?"

Hearing this, Hua Mujin nodded again and again, "Well, I'm sleepy."

"Well, I still have things to deal with. You go to bed early, and I'll be here tomorrow." Obviously, Bai Zhanke saw that Hua Mujin wanted to drive him away, but he couldn't speak up, so he could only give her the steps.

"Okay, okay, then you go slowly, don't send it off."

Seeing that Bai Zhanke was about to leave, Hua Mujin had a big smile on her face, with no intention of hiding it at all.

With a helpless smile, Bai Zhanke could only shake his head and leave.

"Your Majesty, you are really blessed. The emperor dotes on you so much that the servants are a little jealous." In front of the dressing table, Luzhu took off the hairpin that simply rolled up the hair for Hua Mujin, and said enviously.

Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, Hua Mujin wryly smiled and twitched her lips, "Whether it's a blessing or a curse, who can say for sure? If you have nothing to do, go down first, I don't like people watching when I'm sleeping."

According to the rules in the palace, when the concubine is sleeping, there must be palace people in the palace at all times, so that the concubine can wait in time for any needs.

But Hua Mujin didn't like this rule very much.

"Your Majesty, did the maidservant say something wrong to make you unhappy?"

Seeing Hua Mujin's strange expression, Lu Zhu asked cautiously.

Hua Mujin shook her head, got up, walked to the side of the bed, sat down, and asked, "Luzhu, how long have you been in the palace?"

"Go back to your mother, more than three years."

"Well, it's not long, but it's not short either." Hua Hibiscus thought for a moment, staring at the green bamboo with bright eyes, and continued, "Remember, there are some things that you shouldn't ask, don't ask, don't say what you shouldn't say. Say, do you understand?"

Lu Zhu bit her lip aggrievedly, and nodded in response.

"Go and call Pearl, I have something to ask her."

"Yes, ma'am."

Holding the washbasin out of the palace, Luzhu suddenly murmured to himself, "I thought I met a good master, but it seems that it is still a bit difficult to serve."

After a while, Zhuzhu heard the message from Lvzhu and came to the hall, only to see Hua Mujin holding a book and reading it engrossed.

"Miss, do you need to call your servant?"

Pearl's voice made Hua Mujin come out of the book, looking at her hands that were bandaged like steamed buns, she couldn't help laughing. "Is your hand on the medicine?"

Looking down, Pearl nodded and replied, "Yes, it's up. It's just that the servant girl's left hand is not flexible, so I have to ask the servant girl from the Green Bamboo Gang to bandage it."

"It's good that it's okay. I called you here to ask, now that I've been named a concubine, should I greet someone?"

Raising her eyes, Pearl thought about it seriously, and replied, "Miss, in fact, your status is very high. Except for the daily greetings to the imperial concubine and the queen mother, no one with your status is needed. On the contrary, those status Those who are inferior to you, such as Shuyi, have to greet you every day."

Frowning, Hua Mujin felt troubled for a moment.

Although it was no different from what she saw on TV, there were countless women in the harem, and it would take only one day just to ask for peace.

"Then when do you usually go to say hello?"

"No more than [-] hours, but miss, you can rest assured that those Shuyi nobles will first go to the queen mother and the imperial concubine before they come to you. If you find it troublesome, you can occasionally let them They don't come to greet you."

Although Pearl used to belong to the Imperial Dining Room, she still knows a little about these minimum rules of concubines.However, she was a little curious as to why Hua Mujin didn't ask Lvzhu. Logically speaking, Lvzhu should know better than her.

"Mao time? Isn't that around six o'clock? Does it really need to be so early?"

In ancient time, hibiscus was a kind of time clock, Maoshi was between five o'clock and seven o'clock, so getting up at this time was a bit overwhelming.

This was the case in the laundry bureau before, but after being made a concubine, it is still like this...!
"Miss, it's not too early. Every Yinshi emperor has already come to court, and Maoshi's morning court has already ended."

"..."

Hua Mujin finally knew that it was not easy to be a concubine in the harem.

"Okay, I see, you go to bed. I have to go to bed early, too, and I have to fight tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Hua Hibiscus fell headlong into the bed.

Listening to the closed palace door, Hua Mujin was lying on the bed, looking at it with one hand outstretched, and suddenly whispered to herself, "I really want to play with my mobile phone, I really want to watch TV, I really want to eat crayfish hot pot , I really want to..."

Thinking so much that Hua Mujin fell asleep while talking.

On the second day, the sky was just slightly bright.

"What time is it? Why haven't you woke up yet? If this concubine is late to pay her respects on the second day, she might be blamed by the empress dowager. It's really useless!"

The voice of Mu Qiu roaring at the palace servants woke Hua Mujin up, and when she opened her eyes, Mu Qiu had already entered the palace.

"I said Sister Jin, don't go to sleep, get up quickly and let them clean up for you, I won't be able to make it to the Ganlu Hall to say goodbye in a while. It's not that you don't know that the Queen Mother doesn't like you and me. If it's late, don't be punished." Punishment will also be punished. My good sister, get up quickly, don't look like you haven't woken up, and ruin your face."

Mu Qiubian stepped forward and didn't forget to chatter non-stop, like a monk chanting scriptures, making Hua Mujin's head swell.

"Come on, don't talk about it, can't I get up?"

Originally, Green Bamboo and Pearl also called Hua Mujin several times, but they could only be respectful and whispered, as long as Hua Mujin ignored them, there was nothing they could do.

But, she didn't expect Mu Qiu to come over...

After tidying up, the two went to the Ganlu Hall side by side.

But when they arrived at the Ganlu Hall, they were stopped by the Queen Mother's people outside the hall.

"You two empresses, the empress dowager and the imperial concubine have some business to discuss, and I invite you two empresses to wait here for the publicity."

After being shut down, Mu Qiu glared at Hua Mujin dissatisfied, and complained in a low voice, "Look, the queen mother is obviously angry. At this time, the concubines have already finished their invitations and went back. The sun will come out in a while, and we will be rewarded." drying."

However, Hua Mujin had an indifferent expression, yawning profusely.

"If you can't invite me, I won't invite you. I don't have time to bask in the sun here. Let's go back and catch up on sleep."

As she said that, Hua Mujin wanted to turn around and leave, but was held back by Mu Qiu.

"Oh, my good sister, just stop and stop, just leave, the queen mother will appoint the blame. You wait patiently, don't let people think that you are relying on the emperor's favor, and even the queen mother doesn't look down on you , will suffer.”

Mu Qiu persuaded Hua Mujin earnestly, she was afraid that Hua Mujin would be punished if she broke the rules.

It can be seen that Mu Qiu lives cautiously in this harem, but this is not the way Hua Mujin wants to live.

"Blame the blame. It's not that I didn't come. I was stopped outside the hall. Is it possible that I have to wait for the call no matter how long? Am I stupid?"

After finishing speaking, Hua Mujin pulled Mu Qiu and prepared to leave.

Originally, Mu Qiu wanted to break free, but his strength was not as strong as Hua Mujin, so he had to be dragged by her step by step to leave the Ganlu Hall.

"You two sisters, stay here!"

After walking a few steps, a pleasant voice suddenly came from behind, and the two of them stopped and turned to look over.

Outside the Ganlu Hall, the imperial concubine Ye Wanxin smiled faintly, her smile was noble and elegant.

She turned her head and said to the eunuch, "Elder-in-law, the queen mother is tired and has already gone to bed. Please be safe, two younger sisters. You don't need it today. Go in and take good care of the queen mother."

The eunuch saluted Ye Wanxin respectfully, and walked into the Ganlu Hall.

Afterwards, Ye Wanxin walked in front of Hua Mujin and Mu Qiu with graceful steps.

"Greetings to the imperial concubine and empress, all blessings, empress..."

Mu Qiu pulled the flower hibiscus to bless the body, and saluted Ye Wanxin.

However, Hua Mujin seldom saluted, and the movements of saluting were a little stiff.

"You two sisters don't need to be too polite. This is Concubine Xi's sister, right? When I saw you today, you are even more beautiful than when I saw you in Caixiu Pavilion. No wonder the emperor loves you so much."

For some reason, Ye Wanxin's words made Hua Mujin feel envious.

Then with a smile, Hua Mujin returned, "The imperial concubine praised you absurdly. People say that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, but it's just the high-quality and gorgeous clothes that set it off."
