Wan Xiangxiang walked up to Nanny Qin and said, "Nanny Qin, what's wrong with your face?"
Nanny Qin was also a little surprised when she saw Wan Xiangxiang: "Why are you here again? I have so many things to do right now! This batch of concubines is really the most troublesome one."
It would be hard if I didn't make trouble this day. It was only the second day, and Nanny Qin felt so tired. If she continued like this, she would probably become the person the Queen didn't want to see the most.
It is estimated that in the eyes of the Queen, she is the most useless person. Wan Xiangxiang looked at Qin Mama with some sympathy: "Mama, thank you for your trouble. Are you talking about the bird you found this morning? It seems that Mama will have a headache. That bird is the Queen's favorite."
Nanny Qin only knew that someone had stolen a bird, stripped off its feathers, and left it outside to freeze to death. However, she had no idea that the bird was the Queen Mother's favorite. For a moment, she almost lost her balance.
He even gritted his teeth and said, "Investigate! This matter must be investigated thoroughly."
Wan Xiangxiang coughed twice and said, "There are quite a few people. It would be troublesome to investigate like this."
Nanny Qin paused again. There were quite a few beauties this time. Not only were there a large number of them, but they were all of noble status, so it was really difficult to check them all.
As a maid in the deep palace, she really didn't dare to offend these people. Thinking of this, Aunt Qin's face was bitter again: "It seems that I will have to go to see the Queen to apologize again. Or is it that I am incompetent."
Seeing Nanny Qin's back hunched, Wan Xiangxiang's mouth twitched. She was really pitiful. She probably wanted the Queen to see her ability, but she found out that she was incompetent.
It can't be said that they are incompetent, but that these concubines are too troublesome. When Nanny Qin arrived at the gate of the Queen's Palace, she saw a eunuch waiting there.
Needless to say, the eunuch must have had a headache. After all, not taking good care of the Queen's favorite bird was a serious sin.
The two looked at each other, both with bitter expressions on their faces. So early in the morning, they met Concubine Chen and other concubines who came to pay their respects. They were chatting and laughing when the palace servants came to report.
"Your Majesty, Nanny Qin from Chuxiu Palace is here."
The Queen was stunned for a moment. Why did she come again on the second day? Did someone get into trouble again? Before the Queen could speak, Concubine Chen laughed first.
"What's going on? What interesting things happened in Chuxiu Palace again? Why don't you call people in and let them listen."
When Nanny Qin entered, she saw several ladies looking at her with smiles on their faces. The queen was sitting right above her: "Tell me, what happened again?"
This is all familiar. Nanny Qin laughed flatteringly: "Empress, um, let him speak first."
The Queen then turned her gaze to Eunuch Wei, who was in charge of the Royal Menagerie: "Eunuch Wei, you are here too, what's the matter?"
Eunuch Wei looked guilty and knelt down directly: "Madam, I am guilty. I did not manage the zoo well and someone sneaked in and stole the Red Flame."
Chiyan, yes, that bird. It has fiery red feathers, so it is loved by the Queen. When the Queen heard that Chiyan was stolen, she stood up immediately.
"did you find it?"
The concubine Chen was also furious: "What do you do for a living? You can't even take care of a bird. If anything happens to Chiyan, you won't have a good life."
Eunuch Wei's legs were so weak from fear. This Concubine Chen was not like the Empress. She was very arrogant. If she said she would beat the servant to death, she would beat the servant to death. The Empress was kind-hearted, and she didn't know why the concubines were so arrogant.
"We did find it, but Chiyan's feathers had all been stripped. If Wan Xiunü hadn't brought it back, it would have probably frozen to death."
Wan Xiu Nu? The Queen understood and looked at Nanny Qin: "Are those concubines causing trouble again this time?"
How could Nanny Qin dare to hide it? She said immediately: "Yes, Madam, the red flame appeared at the gate of Chuxiu Palace. It was sent back by Wan Xiunu. I don't know who brought it..."
After talking about the quarrel caused by Chi Yan, Nanny Qin started to explain: "I am just a servant. The concubines are of noble status, and it is not for me to make decisions. That's why I came here to ask the Queen to make the decision."
It was stolen maliciously, so it really can't be blamed on Eunuch Wei. The Queen glanced at Eunuch Wei and said, "Eunuch Wei, please go down and investigate carefully. Why can someone sneak into the zoo so easily? Give me an explanation."
Eunuch Wei was relieved. Fortunately, the Queen was not going to blame her. But the Queen was a little embarrassed when she saw Nanny Qin.
The identities of those concubines were quite noble, and it would be difficult to explain to the servants in the palace. Thinking of this, the queen frowned.
The Concubine Chen couldn't bear to see the Queen frowning, so she took the initiative to speak: "Are you worried about those concubines, Queen? There is no need to worry. Let me go and give these ladies a lesson so that they know that the pots in the palace are made of iron."
This is true, there is no pot that is not made of iron. However, the Queen was very satisfied that the Concubine Chen had this intention. It was clear that this guy must have been lonely for a long time, and with the new sister coming, he wanted to go over and have some fun.
"Okay, Concubine Chen is thoughtful. I'll leave this matter to you."
Concubine Chen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go over and take a look now. Your Majesty, you should have a good rest. If you dare to touch your Red Flame, you must think your life is too long."
These words sounded like he wanted to go over and kill people. Nanny Qin also felt a little sympathetic towards the concubines. This one had taken action, and his temper was quite bad.
Concubine Chen looked at Nanny Qin and said, "Nanny Qin, let's go."
Over at Chuxiu Palace, the concubines have already started going back to their rooms, searching everywhere to see if they could find feathers or something like that.
Finally, a very beautiful feather was found under Gong Shanshan's pillow. It was a bright red feather and very gorgeous.
Tang Ting was the first to scream: "Oh my God, Shanshan, you actually did it. How could you be so cruel?"
When these words came out, everyone was stunned and looked at Gong Shanshan. Gong Shanshan looked puzzled: "It's not me, it has nothing to do with me."
When she saw the featherless bird just now, she had no idea what it was. But when she looked at the feathers in front of her, she felt that it was somewhat familiar, and then she realized that this was the bird she stole last night.
She immediately became a little worried. If nothing unexpected happened, she might have been tricked. But plucking all the feathers from the bird was not something she did. She absolutely could not admit it.
In addition, she and Wan Xiangxiang had sent the bird back together last night. Wan Xiangxiang could testify for her, and thinking of this, Gong Shanshan calmed down again.
Julie, who was in the same room with them, snorted coldly: "The things are all under your pillow, and you still want to quibble."
Gong Shanshan also snorted unhappily: "If something is under my pillow, does it mean it's mine? Can't someone else frame me and put it under my pillow? I sleep so soundly that I wouldn't know even if someone put it there."
At this time, Tang Ting suddenly spoke again: "But Shanshan, you went out alone last night, and you came back very late."
A young lady in the corner raised her head when she heard this, then lowered it again in an instant, pretending she heard nothing.
Before anyone here could come to a conclusion, people in the next room knew that the feather was under Gong Shanshan's pillow.
A group of people stood in the yard, listening to the quarrel in the room. Wan Xiangxiang also walked over. When Gong Shanshan saw Wan Xiangxiang, she wanted to go forward, but restrained herself.
"It wasn't me. I didn't do it anyway. I was wrongly accused."
Wan Xiangxiang nodded: "I think what Gong Xiunv said makes sense. What if she didn't do it and someone wrongly accused her? That's not good."
No one had expected that Wan Xiangxiang would actually speak up for Gong Shanshan, and they immediately split into two groups. At this time, Nanny Qin arrived with Concubine Chen.
"The Empress Chen is here."
Gong Shanshan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of the popular science that Wan Xiangxiang had given her last night. Empress Chen was the only one in the harem who had a bad temper, acted arrogantly, and was unreasonable.
The most important thing is that, her position is very stable, she is the most difficult empress to get along with in the harem. But why is she here
Many concubines looked towards the door and saw the brightly dressed Consort Chen, supported by palace servants, walking into the Chuxiu Palace.
"Greetings, Madam Chen Fei."
The Concubine Chen took a look at the concubines. At first glance, they all looked the same, and none of them stood out. She couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "The concubines in this class are not good. None of them are pretty."
When the concubines heard this, they were all speechless. They thought they were prettier than the elderly Empress Chen. You are so ugly, yet you dare to look down on them.
Although she was angry in her heart, she dared not say it out loud. After all, this woman was a concubine now, and they were just little concubines!
"I heard that someone among you was so bold as to steal the Queen's Red Flame. The Queen is kind, but I am not someone to be trifled with. Whoever stole it, please come forward. Don't keep me waiting, I am very busy!"
Someone had brought a bench for Concubine Chen to sit down. As soon as Concubine Chen finished speaking, many people's eyes turned directly to Gong Shanshan.
Gong Shanshan immediately glared at him: "What are you looking at? I already said that I was wronged, it wasn't me."
The Concubine looked over. This woman looked average but had a bad temper, which suited her taste. "I'll give you a quarter of an hour. Is there anyone who can stand up?"
