As soon as she entered the inner hall, Shen Yuqing paused, raised her head slightly, and glanced at the beams.
Up there, there are people.
The breath is long and seems to be absent, it is the dark guard.
Shen Yuqing had known for a long time that there were two teams of hidden guards in the Queen's Palace, all carefully trained by the emperor. However, most of them are in the outer and outer halls, and there are only a few in the inner hall, and there are not many who can enter the sleeping hall.
When she first came in, Shen Yuqing almost ignored the one on the front left, presumably it was the leader of the two teams of dark guards, whose strength was much higher than that of ordinary dark guards.
Seeing that Shen Yuqing found the hidden guard, the queen was not surprised. She calmly asked Shen Yuqing to sit down: "I don't know what the concubine's sister likes to eat. If the breakfast in Fengyi Palace is not to your liking, don't mind."
Concubine Shen raised her red lips: "Sister Qiushui, what are you talking about? The food in Fengyi Palace is the most abundant except for the imperial food, how could my younger sister dislike it? If my elder sister doesn't dislike it, my younger sister is willing to come to eat every day."
Fu Qiushui lowered her eyes and didn't answer. Before she knew Shen Yuqing's intentions, she decided to stop with silence.
Concubine Shen didn't mind at all, and changed the topic in a good manner: "Just now you agreed to call me Yuqing, but Qiushui, you called me wrong again."
"... Yuqing." Fu Qiushui obviously showed a hint of helplessness, and Concubine Shen would make use of the topic again, and she decisively called out this slightly intimate title.
Concubine Shen Gui was satisfied, she didn't make any fuss about the breakfast after that, she just had a simple meal.
Chasing a daughter-in-law has to be done step by step. Shen Yuqing is very patient. After several months of testing Fu Qiushui's bottom line and attitude, she finally started to make a formal move. That being the case, it is impossible for her to fall short because of her eagerness for quick success and instant benefit. Take it slowly step by step, she has plenty of time.
After breakfast, Shen Yuqing got up with a satisfied face and was about to say goodbye to Fu Qiushui, but suddenly found that the lord had disappeared for a long time.
"Where is the adult?" She said why she had to eat without the kitten meowing when she was eating. It turned out that the adult was gone.
Man Xing was a little speechless: "My lord, it entered the empress's bedroom..."
It was hard for her to follow in, so she entrusted Han Qiu to look for it. As a result, Hanqiu told it that the lord fell asleep on the empress's bed.
Fu Qiushui liked this little guy very much, so he told Han Qiu not to wake it up, so it went back to the cage for a good sleep, and was not taken away until the cat slave was about to leave.
On the way back, Shen Yuqing nodded angrily on its little nose: "I have never slept in my 'wife's' bed, you bastard, you actually fell asleep first."
The adult licked his nose, ignoring the stupidity of the cat slave.
Hmph, stupid human, it's natural for the cat to sleep wherever he wants, so no objection is allowed.
Shen Yuqing rubbed its head depressedly, forget it, don't bother with a cat.
As soon as he returned to the palace, the adults began to cry for fish. The little paws patted on Shen Yuqing's long skirt that dragged the floor, and she was not allowed to leave until the fish were eaten.
Shen Yuqing felt that her status was falling again and again, but the nature of the cat slave made her completely unable to protest, so she had to obediently prepare small dried fish for adults to eat.
After the nap, the emperor's compensation also came down.
Concubine Rong was so angry that she fainted from the anger in Fengyi Palace. The emperor couldn't pretend not to know, so he rewarded some extraneous things. Before Concubine Rong could be happy when she received the things, she heard the little eunuch continue to report: "Your Majesty also said that the Empress has worked hard to take care of you, Your Majesty, and she has rewarded you with things."
Concubine Rong almost gritted her silver teeth: "What's so good about her hard work? She watched a good show, and she didn't get into trouble at all, but she just provided a side hall, and she earned benefits for nothing!"
This is not the most annoying thing, at least Concubine Rong has expropriated the queen's side hall, and the queen has indeed suffered an unreasonable disaster, so it is justified to make up for it. The most annoying thing is that there is a third person who got the reward.
The third person is neither Concubine Shu, who lost face after arguing with Concubine Rong, nor An Shurong, who was bullied by the whole palace for the first time as a bed servant, but Concubine Shen who did not speak from the beginning to the end.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty said that you were surprised in Fengyi Palace, so you gave me some rewards." Man Chen returned with a list, "Miss Jinli is waiting outside, I'm afraid she has something to say."
Shen Yuqing looked at her strangely: "What frightened me?"
How could she not know! Emperor Dog, do you dare to touch your conscience and say again that she is frightened and needs to be appeased!
With a straight face, Man Chen said solemnly: "Your Majesty is weak, she must have been frightened when she saw Concubine Rong pass out with her own eyes." After finishing speaking, he paused and added, "This is the original words of Miss Jinli. "
"..."
The emperor will really bring hatred to her, now I'm afraid Concubine Rong will hate her to death.
Not only Concubine Rong, but other concubines who also "witnessed Concubine Rong fainted" and were "frightened" also hated her. Why was she the only one who got the reward? Why do you say that she is a noble concubine with a high rank and is also favored by the Holy One? Are you dead when you are a concubine Shu!
In short, Shen Yuqing didn't watch the play for a while, and was pushed to the forefront again.
Hey, it's really annoying that I can't eat melons quietly these days. However, Concubine Shen is still very moral and professional, she was speechless and then she let it go, anyway, she was going to confront the entire harem anyway, so it doesn't matter.
Besides, she took advantage of it, the emperor gave three rewards, the queen got the least, and she got the most. Fully half more than Concubine Rong, that's all money!
Concubine Shen touched the box full of top-quality South Sea pearls, and smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth.
With so much, how much cat litter can be ground for adults.
Man Chen covered his eyes expressionlessly, expressing his "no eyes to see" mood. After expressing it, I repeated it again: "Miss Jinli has been waiting outside for a long time, I'm afraid I have something to say."
"Oh..." Shen Guifei immediately regained her aloofness, and waved her hand, "Let her in."
Miss Jinli was still the same as before, graceful and elegant, if she wasn't wearing a court lady's costume, she might have thought she was the young lady of some family. As the most caring person around the emperor, Jin Li is an assassin in the hall and an assassin in the kitchen who knows the prescriptions. In short, she is omniscient and omnipotent.
In the same way, Miss Hanqiu, who has obtained half of Jinli's true biography, is also the staged goal of Miss Manxing.
When Man Chen went out to call for someone, he saw Man Xing embracing Jin Li, and he couldn't see it. She frowned, took a step forward, and immediately made Man Xing take three steps back.
Also being the grand maid next to the noble concubine, Man Xing is the outsider and Man Chen is the inside, but compared to the Linglong Man Xing, the stern-faced Man Chen is more intimidating. Man Chen is in charge of all the maids in Jianjia Palace, even Man Xing sees her like a cat sees a mouse.
Man Chen glanced at Man Xing calmly, as if she didn't realize that she was the evil star that everyone avoids, she bowed to Jin Li: "Girl, come with me, the empress wants to see you."
Jinli didn't seem to notice Man Xing's fear, she followed Man Chen towards the inner hall with a smile, and chatted with him calmly along the way, although Man Chen didn't respond a few words.
Man Xing curled his lips, thought to himself that a flat-chested woman should not be messed with, and turned to look for the lord. Generally, if the noble concubine does not leave the palace, she has nothing to do. Everything is taken care of by Man Chen, so Man Xing is very free. However, she is not willing to stay in the main hall of Jianjia Palace all the time to face Manchen's paralyzed face, so she always finds opportunities to stay in the side hall or the small kitchen, in the pretentious name of getting snacks for the adults and the empress.
When it was almost time to arrive, Jinli casually mentioned: "I heard that Miss Manchen once cried for her concubine before, but I took it as a rumor from the outside world."
Man Chen reminded without raising his eyes: "Miss, be careful where you step." He didn't say any more, and didn't care whether he scared the concubine to tears or not.
Those who have stayed in the palace for a long time have heard this rumor, but some people believe it and others don't. Those newcomers who have just entered the palace have also heard about it, but I am afraid that few people believe it.
But, this is really the truth, Manchen did scare the concubine to tears. It is none other than Concubine Shu.
That time Concubine Shu was neglected by the emperor for a period of time, because her natal family's affairs suddenly regained her favor, she was so arrogant that she went to the imperial concubine's palace to show off her might. Jianjia Palace is Manchen's territory, she followed a master with great fortune, and she was originally an excellent court lady trained by the emperor, even if Shen Guifei took it for her own use, she would not be afraid of a little concubine Shu.
So, she mercilessly scared Concubine Shu to tears, and successfully made the surrounding concubines realize that noble concubines are not something ordinary people can mess with.
After that, Concubine Shu was very obedient for a while.
"Here we are." Man Chen said, stopping what Jin Li wanted to say.
She and Jinli were originally maids from the same batch, and they were very familiar with each other. There are not many people who know this, and Man Xing is not clear. However, the relationship between the two is very peculiar, a bit like a bad friend, but it is one-sided. Jinli has a bit of a bad taste and likes to tease Manchen, but Manchen always knows how to shut her up.
Jin Li graciously let her go, straightened her clothes and entered the door, first saluted, and then explained her intentions neatly.
"Today, His Majesty had lunch with the Empress Dowager. His Majesty was very curious about what the Empress Dowager's plans were, so he asked the servants to ask."
At noon today, the queen filed a complaint with the emperor, saying that you deliberately solicited relationships for money. If you are frank and lenient, then everything is easy to say, if you resist strictness... then let His Majesty the emperor handle it himself, anyway, I, a little court lady, can't help you, a great god.
— This is what Jinli meant.
Shen Yuqing frowned slightly, thinking of Emperor Dog's not-so-pleasing little boy face, she felt that it would be more pleasant to talk to Jinli's cutie. Anyway, this is a beautiful girl, not a boring stinky man.
Therefore, Concubine Shen cooperated very cooperatively: "I have no other intentions in this palace, it's just that the palace is lonely, and I need someone to help me out."
As for whether to find a girlfriend to chat with to relieve loneliness, or to find a daughter-in-law (harmonious) to relieve loneliness, I won’t tell you.
The author has something to say: I suddenly feel that Manchen, Manxing, Hanqiu and Jinli, the four court ladies are full of love for Ji, and they are very suitable for any cp _(:з」∠)_
Oh no, I have to hold back, they are all exclusive supporting roles with their own owners...
ps: Girl full of stars, you found out that you can allx full stars! See how nice I am to you [not]!
Thirteen, the leader of the dark guards who appeared today, is the exclusive supporting role of "Little Fan No. 13"
