Chapter 22: Coincidence


Zhuang Zhao has not seen the new palace maids since he was granted the title of Jin, and now he returns to the palace and wants to see them.

The other three maids were all selected from the palace.

They were well-looking and smart at first sight.

Zhuang Zhao asked them to report their names one by one.

After listening, he said, "Since you are here, I have to change my name.

Well, let's call them Bai Ling, Bai Luo, and Bai He."

The three of them thanked Zhuang Zhao for the name, followed by the young eunuchs.

However, Zhuang Zhao didn't need them, so he just told Xiao Yan, "Teach them the rules and don't treat them harshly."

It was almost noon after finishing all this work.

Xiao Yan came back with lunch and learned all about Zhang Biyu's grounding.

Zhuang Zhao said flatly, rewarded Xiao Yan, and started eating.

Zhang Biyu's move was basically a waste of money.

It doesn't matter if you provoke the Crown Princess.

When the Crown Princess doesn't take you seriously, it doesn't matter how you provoke her.

Just like a childish person who says he wants to kill you, you won't take it seriously.

But it would be different if that kid had a knife in his hand.

The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the jade.

But Zhang Biyu didn't know how to restrain herself.

After dinner, Zhuang Zhao walked around the yard twice to eat, and happened to meet Li Ying coming over.

"Hello, Sister Zhuang."

Li Ying came over wearing a pink butterfly chest-length skirt with a kind smile on her bright face.

Zhuang Zhao nodded, "Why are you here at this time?"

Li Ying said, "Anyone who comes to meet Sister Zhang must first meet Sister Zhuang."

This put Zhuang Zhao ahead of Zhang Biyu.

Zhuang Zhao smiled lightly and said, "You sisters have a good relationship."

The speaker means it, but the listener seems to have no intention.

"Yeah, why did Sister Zhang take care of me a lot before?"

Li Ying's sleeves moved, and she took out a fat white cat from inside.

"Hey, what a cute kitten."

Zhuang Zhao couldn't help but touch it, and the snowball meowed against her palm, not afraid of strangers at all.

The pink tongue licked Zhuang Zhao's hand, and his eyes showed a flattering look.

"This cat is so clever and knows how to offer good things," Bai Cha couldn't help but laugh.

Zhuang Zhao rubbed its head and said, "Can you lend me a hug?"

She looked at Li Ying, her eyes full of love.

Li Ying nodded, "Of course."

Zhuang Zhao then carefully picked up Xue Tuan, who looked at her innocently, with pure blue eyes.

"If sister likes it, I'll give it to you," Li Ying said seemingly unintentionally.

Zhuang Zhao was a little moved, but still declined, "No, after all, I am your beloved sister, and a gentleman will not take away others' love."

Li Ying covered her mouth and smiled, "What kind of pet is just a beast."

That's right.

Zhuang Zhao frowned, "Since Sister Li insists, I'll accept it."

Li Ying bowed and said, "Then I'll leave first and won't disturb Sister Zhuang."

Zhuang Zhao rubbed Xuetuan's face and called Xiao Yan, "Let someone who knows cats and dogs see if there is anything wrong with this cat."

Come and see Zhang Biyu with her cat Zhang Biyu should not talk about cats now, but should be careful when seeing people.

Li Ying's move was too bad.

Xiao Yan quickly came back with Xue Tuan in his arms, "Master, this cat's nails are too long, and the kids have already cut them.

In addition, this cat has a great reaction to red cloth, but nothing else."

Zhuang Zhao nodded without surprise, "I understand, reward them for me."

Li Ying wanted to kill two birds with one stone by borrowing a cat, but he didn't know whether he thought he was stupid or because he thought everyone else was stupid, so he just used the remaining tricks.

"Master, if you know there is something wrong with this cat, why do you want to stay here?

If you really like it, just let them bring another one."

Bai Cha added a cup of tea to her.

The sky-blue Ru kiln porcelain is warm and cool to the touch after the rain.

"How can you guard against a thief for a thousand days?"

She said with a cold face, and her always smiling face was covered with a layer of frost, "Since Li Ying has the intention of harming me, I will not be polite to her.

Where is the Crown Princess?

Send someone to get some information.

This is a ready-made scapegoat, and the princess will definitely be interested."

Just after he finished speaking, Bai Ling coughed outside.

"Come in."

Bai Ling then opened the door and walked in.

She blessed her body and told the story about Concubine Mu being pregnant and the emperor being overjoyed and praising the palaces.

"I heard that there was originally a general amnesty for the whole world, but Taifu Xie gave her back.

The emperor later named Concubine Mu the virtuous concubine."

Bai Ling's voice was pleasant, like a clear spring, and she lived up to the word "Ling" given to her by Zhuang Zhao.

Not only Taifu Xie, but also most of the ministers disapproved of the emperor attaching too much importance to this child.

It is not uncommon for an old man to favor his younger son, but when the crown prince has been established, it is not appropriate for the old man who is the emperor to do this.

It's fine if it's a girl, but if it's a boy, the prince's status will definitely be affected.

The emperor's health doesn't have any major problems, so he can live for at least ten years.

By then No wonder Taifu Xie would remonstrate on the spot.

The emperor couldn't resist and the ministers were probably angry, otherwise why would he give Concubine Mu the word "virtuous"?

Of course, the biggest headache is still the queen.

Aunt Zheng rubbed her temples and comforted her, "It's your own body after all.

If you get angry, it won't be what they want."

"Haha, I didn't expect that Mrs.

Mu had such a trick.

I underestimated her."

The Queen coldly brushed away Aunt Zheng's hand and breathed on her chest, "The eagle was pecked in the eye by the eagle.

How could I do that?

Don’t be angry.

The emperor also gave her the title of Xian.

There is no other word for her, but Xian.”

A virtuous wife and a beautiful concubine, virtuous is what a concubine should do.

Those who don’t know that she, the queen, is too unvirtuous make this virtuous concubine appear virtuous.

However, no matter how angry the queen was, she still gave many rewards to the virtuous concubine, even more than usual.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it mean that the virtuous concubine has proved her own unworthiness?

"It's such a coincidence that Concubine Xian is pregnant."

Just when the Crown Princess came to beg the Queen to deal with the Zhang family, it was revealed that Concubine Mu was pregnant, and Grandma Zheng couldn't help but think too much.

The Queen was stunned and said, "Go and check what Mu's actions were during this period.

She may not have known that I would deal with Zhang.

She probably guessed that I would be hesitant about what to do with Zhang's children, so she adjusted the time accordingly."

After getting along for more than ten years, the queen still has a certain understanding of Concubine Xian.

In the palace, all coincidences are worthy of investigation.

Aunt Zheng called all the people in Kunning Palace to the courtyard.

“Since May, anyone who has been absent from their duties without permission will come forward to me.”

Everyone in the palace was silent.

After a while, a palace maid shivered and knelt forward, "This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die."

Aunt Zheng said, "Okay, don't act like this.

Wait on the side."

She glanced back at the remaining people and said coldly, "Why don't you stand up now?

It's just a light punishment.

If I start from others I know there are still people who dare to hide it, just wait until they go to the clothes bureau."

The Huanyi Bureau has always been a place that everyone was afraid to avoid.

Upon hearing this, two more young eunuchs came out.

Aunt Zheng glanced at the two of them with sharp eyes like a knife, "You three stand together and wait for me."

"Next, if you have seen someone sneaking outside Kunning Palace, or if you are inquiring about the internal affairs of Kunning Palace, please come forward."

This time it was a palace maid and a eunuch.

The five people stood aside, feeling very uneasy.

"Follow me.

The rest of you will stand here and don't move.

I will ask you questions when I come back."

Aunt Zheng led the five people into the side hall and came out after a long time.

The five people's faces were all pale and their eyes were red, but they did not dare to cry.

They didn't even go back to the queue, they just walked out.

This is being expelled from Kunning Palace.

The remaining people couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"After you go back, think carefully about the people you know who are involved in the two things I mentioned just now, and come to me one by one tomorrow.

If it is found that there is something true, those who report it will be heavily rewarded.

"If you hide it and refuse to retaliate, you will be punished with the same crime."

Aunt Zheng said sternly, "Do you understand?"

"Understood."

The rectification of Kunning Palace was just the beginning.

The subsequent frequent actions of the queen even alarmed the emperor.

"Searched everything in the East Palace."

The emperor touched his chin and said, "Interesting."

Yuan Zhong bent over and took the medicine, took a sip first, and after a while poured the emperor half a bowl.

"Your Majesty, take the medicine."

But he didn't answer the emperor's words.

The emperor took the medicine and drank it in one gulp, then wiped his mouth and said, "You old man, if I don't ask you, you just won't say yes."

Yuan Zhong smiled, "Isn't this because I'm afraid that my slave's talk will make the emperor unhappy?"

He thought for a while and said, "It seems that something was found from Prince Zhang's concubine, but the people sent by the Queen are very strict, so we don't know what they found."

"Forget it, the queen is also angry about what happened this time."

The emperor also felt a little regretful.

Wasn't he just rushing out of passion?

No one would be happy to have a son at an old age, and then the ministers poured cold water on him, and he was also angry.

Yuan Zhong handed the tray to his apprentice and continued, "According to my opinion, the Queen's temperament has always been gentle.

I think it's not the reason why the emperor was promoted to the imperial concubine, but the title."

Yuan Zhong patted his mouth lightly, "This slave is too talkative. ” The emperor actually listened to it, "What you said makes sense.

Xian is not worthy of the title of Mu clan."

He thought about it and said, "I have told you that Concubine Xian is more respectful than Concubine Xian.

Please be respectful to Concubine Xian instead."

Yuan Zhong sighed, and his young apprentice Yuan Bo stood aside and secretly admired his master's skills.

Look, the emperor can change his mind with just a few words.

Who else has this ability?

When Concubine Gongshun received the order, the smile on her face could not help but freeze.

Yuan Bo lowered his eyebrows, but his posture was not low at all and said, "Your Majesty, I brought the message to you and will be back now."

The corners of Concubine Gongshun's mouth dropped, "Ruhua, reward him."

She stared at Yuan Bo closely, "Remember to greet your master for me."

If the emperor changed the title without Yuan Zhong's "credit", she would not believe it. .

Yuan Bo didn't seem to hear the hatred she gritted her teeth and accepted the reward with a smile.

The master has now decided to side with the prince, so he has to go to the prince to express his merits.

Well, that's a big problem
