It turned out that the little eunuch was called Xiao Hezi. Wu Zhe glanced at the eunuch leading the way, and felt that the name sounded like a small box, a small table or something.
Before Concubine Zhuang came over, Xiao Hezi had already stood by the side of the road and waited respectfully. Hearing her question, she quickly bowed again and replied deeper: "Go back to Concubine Zhuang, the slave is the one who led the way out of the palace for Miss Zhou Zhiruo."
Concubine Zhuang? Wu Zhe had read some intelligence reports and knew that Concubine Zhuang was the last of the four concubines. Concubine Chen, Concubine Gui, Concubine Shu, and Concubine Duan are the four concubines of the Xuanwu Empress Palace. The ranking is only below the empress, and there are currently no empresses in the palace, the identities of these four concubines are already extremely high.
Among them, the title of Concubine Chen has been vacant for many years, and not long ago it was given to the mother of Princess Qing who was far away in Chenjiazhuang. But with the prestige of Emperor Xuanwu, no one dared to speak out. It's just that concubine Zhuang and other women felt sour. After accompanying Emperor Xuanwu for many years, they were unexpectedly robbed of the high title of concubine by a Jianghu woman who appeared suddenly.
However, women who can become concubines are not given for nothing, naturally Concubine Zhuang will not vent her dissatisfaction with Concubine Chen on Princess Qing. After patiently and meticulously observing Emperor Xuanwu's attitude towards Princess Qing, she chose to befriend her without hesitation.
Concubine Zhuang is a smart person. She knew that it was impossible for her to keep Xuanwu Emperor's exclusive favor. Appropriately attracting allies is beneficial to maintaining one's own status. Especially the popular princess in front of Emperor Xuanwu, there is absolutely no need to offend her because of her temporary likes and dislikes.
Concubine Zhuang heard the latest news from her eunuch this morning. Emperor Xuanwu's condition has not changed, but Princess Qing is bedridden and sick. It is heard that he contracted the wind and cold, and did not leave Changqing Palace all day yesterday.
Concubine Zhuang is planning to go to Changqing Palace to visit the sick Princess Qing. Of course, this kind of visit is not the true feelings that Princess Qing wants, but a consideration out of interests.
"You are Zhou Zhiruo? Oh my, Miss Zhou." After hearing the little eunuch's words, Concubine Zhuang looked Wu Zhe up and down again, took a few steps happily, grabbed Wu Zhe's hand and said, "Miss Zhou and I But I have been friends with each other for a long time, I didn't expect to see you here today, it is really a fate sent by God."
Concubine Zhuang's face turned pale. Before, he was as solemn as his name. She has the aura of a queen. Especially for the little eunuch's reply, he didn't even lift his eyelids.
But now that she saw Wu Zhe, her humble eyes suddenly widened as if seeing beautiful jade, full of deep joy.
"I've seen Concubine Zhuang." Wu Zhe pretended to be puzzled after saluting, and said with a silly face, "You know me? Have we met before? It's strange. I should never forget a woman as stunning and beautiful as Concubine Zhuang." .”
If such words were uttered from a man who was not Emperor Xuanwu, he could be convicted of beheading and ransacking the concubine for molesting the imperial concubine. But when Wu Zhe said it, it made people very happy.
The moment Concubine Zhuang saw Wu Zhe. Comparing the appearances of the two secretly, he feels that he is somewhat inferior to the other. Not to mention young and immature, just that kind of innate beauty is beyond my reach. Now when I hear a beautiful woman like the other party praise me, even though I know that there is a lot of politeness and flattery in it, I am happier than ordinary people who can praise me several times.
"Oh, to be praised by Miss Zhou for her beauty, I'm afraid I'm so happy that I won't be able to sleep at night." Concubine Zhuang chuckled and pulled Wu Zhe affectionately, saying, "Although we haven't met each other before, the name Zhou Zhiruo is amazing. It has already been spread. Don’t blame me for asking about things when I’m free on weekdays. The main reason is that Miss Zhou’s various deeds have given us women good looks.”
"It seems that there are quite a few rumors about me messing around." Wu Zhe said politely. Xindao, in fact, how many of the rumors circulating outside are superficial articles? Those who can know what Prince Mo's think tank has done can only be analyzed by people in the circle who care about it.
"Miss Zhou is being polite." Concubine Zhuang smiled and pulled Wu Zhe in another direction: "My Zhuang Ning Palace is not far there, let's sit and talk."
Concubine Zhuang waved at the eunuch named Xiao Hezi, and bowed away.
Wu Zhe didn't have anything to think about, and he was curious about the residence of the concubine in the harem, so he followed.
The maids and eunuchs who followed Concubine Zhuang also followed with their heads bowed. They are not as relaxed as the attendants on Princess Qing's side. She didn't even dare to look up at Wu Zhe, which shows that Concubine Zhuang disciplined her very strictly.
Anyway, the other party is a beautiful woman, Wu Zhe pondered, since there are no men in the palace, how can he still eat himself
If it is true, this concubine Zhuang is passionate. If you want to push me against me, should you accept it? Accept it? Or accept it? Anyway, it's still uncertain who will suffer, and it's not bad to give Emperor Xuanwu a green hat.
It's just that we don't want to participate in any palace fights, it's good to simply play with the lonely harem concubines.
Wu Zhe thought, this concubine must be a married woman, but she is also very beautiful, so it might be possible to have her legs. There are many beauties in the harem of Emperor Xuanwu, if you lack love, don't mind us taking care of them.
Wu Zhe was thinking about the so-called great plan to toss the Xuanwu Empress Palace, and he had already reached the gate of Zhuangning Palace.
The outer court of Zhuangning Palace is the standard palace color, but the interior decoration is mainly pink. Although it is not as magnificent as the bright yellow decoration of Princess Qing's Changqing Palace, it also has its own style.
"Miss Zhou, sit here." Concubine Zhuang dragged Wu Zhe to sit in the outer room of her bedroom.
She didn't take Wu Zhe to sit down in the living room, but in her own bedroom, apparently meeting Wu Zhe as a best friend.
A maid served tea, Wu Zhe gently lifted the lid of the teacup, and smelled a scent of flowers.
"Shuangluo chrysanthemum?" Wu Zhe was slightly surprised.
"Oh, Miss Zhou is really knowledgeable." Concubine Zhuang said with a smile: "It is indeed the last evening chrysanthemum when the frost comes. It is dried in a slow fire copper furnace together with the frost, and then absorbed in the sun for three days in late autumn and winter. Yang Qi becomes the best cream chrysanthemum tea."
Wu Zhe said: "Frost chrysanthemum tea can only be found in the mountains in the south of the Jin Kingdom. I have read it in books, but I have never drank it. Today I have a good taste."
She took a sip, and the evolutionary body immediately began to analyze various components, and confirmed that it was really good, and said: "Is there also mint and bitter melon leaves in it?"
"Oh, Miss Zhou is a tea drinker." Concubine Zhuang was really surprised: "I can taste the three flavors in just one sip. I really admire it."
Concubine Zhuang called herself "My Palace" in front of others. But in Wu Zhe's conversations, he never called himself "Ben Gong", but "I", of course, to get closer to Wu Zhe.
"The recipe for this tea, you researched it yourself, Concubine Zhuang?"
"Isn't that right? I'm naturally angry. I looked through some books and found that the combination of these three flavors is quite suitable, and the taste is good. In the past, when the fire season comes in spring and autumn, there are always fire marks between the nostrils." Come, after drinking this tea, there will be no more troubles like this."
Wu Zhe thought to himself how angry you are, to drink the Sanwei Quhuo together as tea. Moreover, the leaves of bitter melon still have a certain contraceptive effect, and I don't know if she has given birth. Quietly looking at Concubine Zhuang's figure, she confirmed that her breasts were straight and not sagging in the slightest, her waist and abdomen were also round and tight, and it was 90% that she had never given birth.
As for the coldness of this tea drink, I guess the imperial doctor would not dare to say more. After all, it was Concubine Zhuang's tossing up the formula herself, and others dared not mention it for fear of offending others.
Fortunately, she made the tea herself, otherwise she would have suspected that Concubine Zhuang had been set in a trap to prevent her from getting pregnant on purpose. At this age, it is going to be such a heavy fire. It is estimated that Emperor Xuanwu's favor is very little, and her desire is very... Mmm, Concubine Zhuang, you should go to the fire yourself...
The two chatted about a lot of things, from tea to snacks, and from brush and ink to calligraphy and painting, Wu Zhe knew everything.
Concubine Zhuang secretly praised, no wonder Zhou Zhiruo is indeed a capable person to become Prince Mo's think tank. She often prides herself on being a talented woman, not only dabbled in many fields but also intensively researched, but in front of Zhou Zhiruo, she felt that her knowledge was shallow.
However, Concubine Zhuang is not jealous of Wu Zhe, on the contrary, she feels that they have a very happy conversation. In the beginning, she chatted with Wu Zhe with the intention of wooing her, but as she talked, she found it more and more interesting. She felt that this girl looked pleasing to the eye, listened to her heart, chatted happily, and touched her heart... Cough, her hands are so slippery. So soft, Concubine Zhuang felt that her skin was ashamed in front of her.
If I had her talent, even Emperor Xuanwu would not come here only once a year or so. Concubine Zhuang secretly lamented that Long En was not prosperous. After last year's Frost's Descent, Emperor Xuanwu has never been here again, and Concubine Zhuang has long fallen into a lonely and cold state. Therefore, drinking one cup after another of cream chrysanthemum tea every day has a great effect on reducing internal heat.
The two gradually mentioned beauty treatment again, Concubine Zhuang said: "I heard that Xiao Ruoyao of Qi State opened a Changhen Pavilion, which is said to be dedicated to women's beauty treatment, um, to make their appearance beautiful, this word is really appropriate. It is said that they only do beauty work every day. The auction of the three people is booming. If there is a chance, I really want to try it."
Wu Zhe Xindao was opened by me, but it’s not easy to provide you with a set of services. But thinking of this, Wu Zhe's heart moved: He worked with Master Qin to treat heart failure, and thought of a method of repairing and activating human skin. Can it be used for beauty
"Concubine Zhuang, I like to play tricks. I happen to have a beauty idea these days, I wonder if you can cooperate?"
Concubine Qi said: "Thoughts? Cooperate? Come and listen, sister, you have something to ask for, and there is nothing you can do."
She and Wu Zhe's address has changed from Miss Zhou to sister and sister.
Of course, she was also amused in her heart, if Prince Mo brought Zhou Zhiruo into the room, the name would have to be changed. (To be continued..)
