Quick Wear: The paranoid beauty grabs the waist and spoils her

The sun was high in the sky, scorching the glazed tiles of the palace. Nan Xiang, carrying her bag, hurried into Fengyi Palace.

As a newcomer, her eyes were full of curiosity and caution.

The vermilion gate of Fengyi Palace sparkled in the sun, and the stone lions at the door were majestic and solemn, as if telling a dream of a phoenix coming to the palace.

An eunuch named Xiao Anzi had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Nan Xiang coming, he immediately smiled and bowed respectfully:

"You are finally here, Eunuch Xiaonanzi. We have been waiting for you for a long time. Eunuch Sun has already made arrangements and asked us to make sure you are properly accommodated."

Xiao Anzi is thin, with just the right amount of humility on his face and a clever look in his eyes.

Nan Xiang quickly returned the gift and said politely, "Thank you, Master Xiao Anzi. I will have to rely on your care in the future."

Xiao Anzi waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "Just call me Xiao Anzi. I don't dare to take on this responsibility. In Fengyi Palace, everyone is serving the Queen, and we should take care of each other."

Nan Xiang smiled and said, "Xiao Anzi, just call me Xiao Nanzi."

Xiao Anzi thought with a smile on his face: "Xiao Nanzi."

I had heard of this person's name before. He had been working in the Shanggong Bureau, doing his job peacefully.

It was not until recently that he met the Fourth Prince at the Fifth Prince's full-moon banquet, and then he escaped from the incident where Concubine Wen fell into the water and received a reward. After that, the Queen Mother and the Fourth Prince both valued him very much.

Also, yesterday, the virtuous concubine and the third prince both had a hard time getting along with this eunuch Xiao Nanzi. He is truly an amazing person. He must build a good relationship with him.

Xiao Anzi was thinking in his mind, and then he came to Nanxiang and whispered: "There are no outsiders in Fengyi Palace, so we don't have to follow the rules too much. The Queen is considerate of everyone and never criticizes the palace servants too much. Some of them are done for outsiders to see. We just need to do our part well, and rewards are indispensable."

Nan Xiang nodded and immediately understood: "Thank you, Xiao Anzi, for the reminder."

Xiao Anzi waved his hand and introduced Nan Xiang.

"Let's take you, Xiaonanzi, to see where we live first."

As he said that, he took Nan Xiang to a room. This room was close to the Queen's bedroom. Although the layout was simple, it was clean and tidy.

Nan Xiang put the bag on the bed, turned around and asked, "Eunuch Xiao Anzi, I wonder if the Queen has any arrangements for me?"

Xiao Anzi explained with a smile: "The Queen has not arranged any specific matters yet, so I want you to get familiar with the people and things in Fengyi Palace first. This Fengyi Palace is the residence of the Queen, and it has a rigorous layout. In front is the main hall where the Queen handles affairs and receives concubines. The side halls on both sides are where the Queen rests and stores important items. There are side halls on the east and west sides, where the capable palace maids and eunuchs around the Queen live. There is also a small garden behind our yard, planted with various exotic flowers and plants, which is also the place where the Queen relaxes on weekdays."

As Xiao Anzi was talking, he took Nanxiang around Fengyi Palace. When they passed by a flower garden, they overheard two young palace maids who were pruning flower branches chatting quietly.

One of the round-faced maids lowered her voice and said, "Have you heard? His Majesty punished everyone in Yonghe Palace last night."

Another little palace maid with an oval face had her eyes light up and asked hurriedly, "Why? What happened?"

The round-faced maid looked around and said mysteriously, "It's all because of the Third Prince. The maids and eunuchs who played chuiwan with the Third Prince last night felt itchy all over their bodies when they went home at night. They couldn't help scratching their red, swollen and ulcerated skin. Just thinking about it makes me feel itchy myself."

The little maid with an oval face covered her mouth in surprise: "Ah? What's going on?"

The round-faced maid continued proudly, "We searched for a long time but found nothing. Finally, we found that she was playing chuiwan with the Third Prince in the Imperial Garden. Her clothes were stained with the grass. After touching it, her skin became itchy and she kept scratching. It made everyone unable to sleep well."

The little palace maid with an oval face frowned and asked, "What happened next?"

"Later, the Shanggong Bureau found out this morning that it was a pure accident, but the grass was planted by the people from the Siyuan Bureau because they thought Concubine Wan liked it."

Wan Zhaoyi has always loved fiddling with flowers and plants. She is a kind person and has a very good reputation in the palace, so it is reasonable for some smart palace maids to want to present some flowers and plants to her.

However, this weed is extremely common in the countryside and is just an ordinary weed. I wonder what the intentions of those people from the Garden Department who bought the weed and planted it in the imperial garden were.

However, this was a blessing in disguise as it helped Nan Xiang to be cleared of suspicion.

Even if someone used this to accuse Nan Xiang, she had other ways to clear herself of suspicion, but it was a little more troublesome. It was not bad to save some energy now.

Nan Xiang continued to listen to the gossip of the two young palace maids: "Look, the people involved in the Siyuansi incident were fined and beaten with a stick. Wan Zhaoyi also apologized to the queen, saying that it was an unintentional mistake. She will be closed in the palace for three days to pray for blessings. And Wan Zhaoyi was also crossed off the list of people going to the temporary palace this time, and was replaced by Li Fei. I heard that the weeds and some poisonous flowers and plants in the imperial garden were eradicated."

The little palace maid with an oval face sighed, "This matter has become a big deal. I guess Concubine Xian and Concubine Wan will have a feud again."

It was well known to everyone that Concubine Li and Concubine Wan had always been at odds with each other, so the intention behind Emperor Chengming's decision to replace Concubine Wan with Concubine Li was unknown.

At this moment, the two little palace maids looked up and saw Xiao Anzi and Nan Xiang. They were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They quickly shut their mouths, lowered their heads and quietly trimmed the branches.

Xiao Anzi and Nan Xiang smiled at each other without saying anything. Xiao Anzi did not blame the two young palace maids, but gave them a good warning and then introduced them to Nan Xiang with a smile:

"These two are the maids Lianzhi and Yunque who were assigned to the palace not long ago. Madam Wei arranged for them to trim the flowers and do some chores. You two should get to know each other and get along well with each other in the future."

Nan Xiang followed Xiao Anzi to recognize the people. The palace maid with the oval face was Lianzhi, and the one with the round face who looked quite pleasing was Yunque.

Lianzhi and Yunque hurriedly bowed and said timidly, "Greetings, Eunuch Nan."

Nan Xiang smiled and nodded: "We all work in Fengyi Palace, don't be so reserved."

After Xiao Anzi and Nan Xiang walked away, Lian Zhi patted his chest and whispered, "Fortunately, I wasn't blamed."

Yun Que also nodded with lingering fear.

In fact, all of this was Nan Xiang's doing. She knelt for so long yesterday because of the Third Prince, and although she was spared a heavy punishment in the end due to the Queen's intervention, it was bullying after all, and the careless "bullying" with the ball and bat yesterday was naturally not enough, so the little bit of powder containing Humulus in her fingernails and the estimated collision position were very consistent, which allowed her to succeed and once again confirmed the reputation of "bullying".

Although it seems perfect, there will be loopholes as long as things are done, and Nan Xiang is actually taking a gamble.
