It's not late at night, the banquet is over, Xu Jieyu is a quiet and quiet person, but also has many complicated affairs, seeing a little indifference at the banquet, Namin pretended to be a little tired, and wanted to leave the banquet and go to the side hall to rest For a moment, Li Zhi also felt a little embarrassed. Hearing what she said, he also got up.The emperor and empress went away together, and the banquet ended.

"Today is always Jieyu's joy, and the emperor's joy. If we follow the rules, should we also mention it?"

Hearing Namin's question, Li Zhiwei was stunned: "Since it's still the same, which position Zitong thinks is appropriate?"

Namin had long thought about it, and replied frankly: "How about raising a rank, how about Xiuyi?" Although Xu Jieyu is now her ally, she will not do things that encourage others, let alone Because of the difference between relatives and estrangements, the system of palace rules and ancestors was ignored.

Li Zhi was satisfied in his heart, and immediately nodded in response: "I have Zitong in charge of the affairs of the harem, so I feel at ease."

"With everyone's trust, I'm afraid I won't be lazy in the future." Na Min pursed her lips and laughed, "If not, let alone A Niang, even Lu Fengyi and the others can miss my concubine to death."

The emperor and queen are harmonious, but Wu Zetian, who is the most favored, is not in a very beautiful mood.Anyway, Li Hong is also the first child of her new mother, even if she has some other thoughts, she is still her own child, and she can no longer call herself A Niang, and even has to go with her with a smile. To celebrate his full moon ceremony, to congratulate the woman who robbed her child despite being childless, to meet those veiled gloating eyes, and Concubine Xiao Shu's unadorned sarcasm. She was patient and kind.

Back in Caisi Courtyard, drinking away all the servants, Wu Zetian couldn't keep the smile on his face anymore, his whole person became gloomy.

However, this secret annoyance and hatred became more and more intense when he saw Lu Fengyi who was ordered to come, but he still had to maintain a smile on his face: "I don't know what admonition the empress has?"

"Wu Meiren are always respectful and courteous, everyone in the palace knows it, and the empress praises her all the time, how can there be admonishment?" Lu Fengyi was dressed in a third-rank female official's palace attire, standing very upright, with her spine straight as if her back was supported , with her hands crossed between her stomachs, and her clothes were so flat that there was not even a single wrinkle, "The empress knows that the beauty's servants are meticulous and careful, so I specially bestow a pair of auspicious golden toads, hoping that the beauty will spread the news soon."

Golden Toad?

The corners of Wu Zetian's mouth froze.The golden toad has always had auspicious meanings. It can not only bring wealth to the town house, but also the promotion of the moon palace, and the wish of having a child. However, what is the purpose of the queen's gift of the golden toad?

Alluding to his future blessings, wanting to win him over?

But looking at the words and deeds of the queen, it seems that they are not like it; could it be that she warned herself that she knew all about those ambitions, and asked herself to accept these thoughts?

In these years of working in the harem, even if she couldn't see it, she could guess what she was suspicious of, but the empress's teachings were still in her ears.Lu Fengyi looked very calm, and continued in a calm tone: "Your Majesty has something to say, the concubines of the six palaces are all from the Neiyuan family, and they should live together in harmony. If there is a fault, it will be punished, and if there is no fault, it will be encouraged. The beauty should be careful and keep it." Rituals, I will definitely not feel resentful and resentful because of a momentary loss. However, the empress is the lord of the six palaces, and she will not make the beauty feel wronged."

Wu Zetian's heart trembled, unexpectedly, it was because of the entanglements outside the Ningyun Palace that day, while thanking respectfully, he was also alert to the Queen's control over the Six Palaces: "The Queen's kindness, the concubine will always remember it in my heart. Dare to forget each other. Please trouble Lu Fengyi to go away, if not, go to the hall and have a sip of tea, and it will not be too late to return."

"Wumei, please forgive me, because I have an errand, I dare not delay."

Wu Zetian's eyes flickered slightly: "I don't know what else Lu Fengyi needs to do?"

"The Empress also has orders for Concubine Xiao Shu, I still need to go to Chengxiang Hall." Lu Fengyi's expression and words were still calm, and he bowed and retired in a regular manner, as precise as if he had measured it with a ruler, which made people pick There is no difference.

Concubine Xiao Shu?

Seeing Lu Fengyi coming and leaving with impeccable manners, Wu Zetian slightly raised his eyebrows: Unexpectedly, he came here to calm things down.

It's just, is it so easy for you to be a good person in this area?

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but look in the direction of Chengxiang Palace, and smiled leisurely.

In Chengxiang Hall, Concubine Xiao Shu was indeed stunned for a long time when she received the queen's will from Lu Fengyi. , why did she get confused?

"King Xu is young and eager to learn, and the empress is also very happy. She bestows a book of "Book of Rites" and hopes that King Xu will be diligent."

Staring at the "Book of Rites" that still has a bit of ink fragrance on the lacquer plate and silk silk, and giving the book to the prince, this seems to be the first time for the empress, but for no reason, how can she miss her son?

Concubine Xiao Shu was puzzled, but it had nothing to do with Lu Fengyi. Seeing that the errand was done, she went back to Anren Hall to report her orders.Only Concubine Xiao Shu, who had a dazed expression on her face, asked the person in front of her in puzzlement: "Tell me, what is the Queen's intention for doing this?"

"I heard that Lu Fengyi first went to Caisi Academy before arriving here."

"What do you mean, this matter has something to do with that bitch Wu?" Concubine Xiao Shu said with a cold face, thoughtfully, "What did the queen reward her for?" I couldn't help laughing, "I didn't expect it to be a toad. Isn't she just a toad? She is only thinking about the swan meat, and she doesn't look in the mirror to see her own virtue."

The aunt in front looked helplessly at her mother's laughing wildly, and sighed silently, "My mother, aren't you thinking about "Book of Rites" right now?

When Lu Fengyi walked around the inner garden and returned to Anren Hall, the queen's two rewards had already spread throughout the six palaces.

At that time, Xu Jieyu was writing and practicing calligraphy in the inner room. After hearing the report from the palace man, she held the wolf brush and forgot to write the pen for a moment. She just watched a drop of full thick ink fall, dyeing the adjacent handwriting into a blur. The group is dense, and the beauty at the beginning cannot be seen.

"Jin Chan and "Book of Rites"? What is the empress's intention?" Mrs. Zhao was serving Xu Jieyu as a servant, and when she saw that there was no one in the room, she spoke frankly.

It's a pity that it's a good word.

Xu Jieyu shook her head, simply put down her pen, folded the smudged paper in half several times, and threw it into the basket beside her, but she had no intention of continuing, she just sat in front of the desk and took out a book , looking between the books, he responded casually: "Do you think you can really hide the matter from the Queen?"

Mrs. Zhao was taken aback for a moment: "The Empress is gentle and soft-tempered, how could she..."

"It's gentle and generous, but not deceitful." Her slender fingers twisted the corner of the book and turned a page, "Of course, no one dares to deceive you." Otherwise, how could she easily take over this case?

At this point, Mrs. Zhao also understood that it was probably the empress who was beating the two concubines, but the hesitation in her heart was still there: "But Concubine Xiao Shu and Wu Meiren are all interested in everyone." In the harem, although status is important, , but more importantly, is where the Sacred Heart lies.If you get the favor, even if you are the last maid, no one dares to underestimate you; if you don't have the favor, even if you are the most respected, it is just a matter of superficiality.

Aside from other things, why did Concubine Xiao Shu dare to be so domineering and arrogant, and embarrassing the queen several times in these years, was it not because the saint doted on her?

But now, Mrs. Zhao is confused. Is it true that the queen is not afraid of provoking the sage?

Although she never raised her head, Xu Jieyu couldn't figure out what she was thinking, so she just smiled faintly: "Who can guess what the empress is thinking?"

In the past, the only one who couldn't figure it out was Ganludian, but now, even the one in Anrendian was hard to understand.

In Anren Hall, Namin sat quietly and ate tea. She boiled tea with Chinese prickly ash and salt. It's comfortable, but it's okay.Holding a thin three-color lamp in her hand, the green and bright green color made her smile unconsciously: "According to the law of the palace, do you think everyone is the kind of person who doesn't know right from wrong?"

Three points of laughter, three points of sighing, three points of joking, but it is completely careless.

"Oh? Is Zitong really rewarding you like this?" In Ganlu Hall, Li Zhi raised his eyes before the case, glanced at the palace servants in the hall, and for some reason, laughed, "It's hard for her." Can come up with such a method of nine bends and eighteen bends, "Concubine Xiao Shu, it is indeed too late."

In these years, he knew Xiao Shufei's temperament well, because of himself, in the six palaces, he was somewhat scruples about her, even the empress rarely reprimanded and admonished her.but don't want to-

Give away the "Book of Rites" to the fourth child, thanks to her thinking of it!

"Tell Xu Aiqing for me, teach the "Book of Rites" to the fourth prince starting tomorrow." Li Zhi paused, and then added, "Mother and child are united, and I would like to remind Concubine Xiao Shu, the queen's good intentions, You should let her know."

After finishing the order, he couldn't help laughing, and sighed to the servant next to him, "I didn't expect her to be so playful, it's really..." After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't know how to describe it, so I could only shake it funny. Shaking his head, "What nonsense."

They were all serving nearby, so how could they fail to see Li Zhi's good mood at the moment? It's more appropriate to say indulgence than to scold, but it's rare for the master to be happy. Playfully said: "I'm afraid only everyone can see the empress's exquisite thoughts."

Li Zhi didn't respond, but the smile in his eyes deepened a bit, and there was a smile on his lips.
