Sir, I can do it!

Sui Baoer carried the food box and hurried to Baowen Pavilion with her body bent slightly.

After being rescued by Wei Zhao last time, Sui Baoer was transferred to Baowen Pavilion by Gao Hai.Baowen Pavilion is a library in the palace. Sui Bao'er could read a few words, so Gao Hai transferred her to Baowen Pavilion to record the collection of books.Baowen Pavilion is a noble place, except for the special silver due to the internal supervisor, there are almost no rewards every month.General internal prisons are unwilling to be assigned here.

But Baowen Pavilion is not in the harem, less contact with concubines, less troubles.In particular, Eunuch Liu, who was next to Concubine Feng, was tortured by Gao Hai because of Sui Baoer.If Sui Baoer stayed in the harem, she would be hated by Concubine Feng Gui.

Concubine Feng Gui knew about Eunuch Liu's matter, and Gao Hai was also ready to be attacked by Concubine Feng.But for some reason, Concubine Feng Gui never mentioned this matter again.It was only later that Gao Hai found out that it was Feng Yu who took the time to find the eldest prince that day and asked him to come forward to make peace.After returning home, she talked about this matter with her mother. The next day, Mrs. Feng went to the palace to persuade her not to let her servants take advantage of her power to bully others. In the end, it was the eldest prince who was ashamed.

Speaking of which, Eunuch Liu didn't know this as Concubine Feng.Although Concubine Feng is arrogant and domineering, Nanny Feng beside her is reasonable.This Eunuch Liu entered the Qionghua Palace through someone else's connection, relying on the eloquence of Concubine Feng Guifei who said so cleverly, so he stayed by his side to relieve his boredom.

Originally, Concubine Feng was a little annoyed that her subordinates were punished with a cane.But Mrs. Feng's persuasion made her wake up.She can be domineering, and she is pampered by the emperor.But the people under his command don't know the severity, who knows when he offended the nobleman.Although she was not afraid of those women in the harem, she had to think about her son.It is always troublesome to make too many enemies in the palace.

Since then, the people in Qionghua Palace have restrained a lot.After Gao Hai thought about it, Sui Baoer's incident was considered over.So when it was Sui Baoer's turn to go to the dining room to pick up food, he was not so frightened.It's just that he is becoming more and more cautious, lest he will cause trouble if he makes a mistake.

While walking, I suddenly heard faint weeping nearby, accompanied by the breeze and the smell of fire.Sui Bao'er's expression changed, she bent her body lower, and walked forward at a faster pace, unwilling to take care of this troublesome matter.But who knows that when he turned the corner, it was a coincidence that he bumped into him.

It turned out to be an eunuch hiding behind the garden and burning paper, talking about something.Seeing Sui Bao'er suddenly turned around, her eyes met, she was shocked.

Not far away came soft voices, and the little eunuch's face became paler.Limp on the ground, his hands clenched into fists, his lips trembling and unable to speak.

Sui Bao'er stomped her feet, put down the food box, hurriedly scooped up the soil and buried it on the fire.At the same time, he reprimanded in a low voice: "Now the palace is in troubled times, you are so bold, you dare to pay homage in the palace."

Seeing him, the inner eunuch did not report him, but instead helped to cover up, and hurriedly stepped forward to put out the fire together.

"I, I can't help it, I'm just such a relative." The circles of his eyes were red, as if he was about to fall when he spoke.

It couldn't be cleaned up in a hurry, Sui Bao'er pulled some leaves to cover it, and if she didn't get closer, she wouldn't be able to see anything.It's just that the smell of smoke is difficult to dissipate for a while.

Sui Bao'er carried the food box, dragged the inner eunuch and ran in the opposite direction.The two parted at a fork in the road, and Sui Bao'er warned him: "Don't cry anymore, find a place to blow air, and be careful that the smell of smoke on your body will be noticed by others."

The inner eunuch rubbed his eyes, not so red now, nodded muffledly, turned around and left without further words.

Sui Bao'er exhaled, lowered her head and smelled that there was no smell on her body, and then turned back.When passing by the place where the inner prison burned the paper, there was no trace of flipping it, and it seemed that it was not noticed.Only then did he feel relieved, and got up to go back to Baowen Pavilion.

Suddenly he felt something click under his feet, he moved away slightly and found that it was a bamboo whistle.One end is hung with a red rope, but the red rope is broken and tied in a knot for the time being.He thought that it might have fallen out of the inner sleeve pocket in a hurry just now.

Fearing that others would pick it up and find out what he had done, Sui Baoer put away the bamboo whistle, thinking that she would return it if she saw him next time.Feeling a little annoyed at this moment, he forgot to ask where the inner eunuch was on duty.

He smiled and shook his head, the palace people are all delicate-hearted, even if asked, he would not tell the truth.

When Sui Baoer returned with the food box, she received resentful looks from her companions.

"Bao'er, it's been too long since you've been there, you're almost starving to death." Xiao Shunzi held his stomach and looked sad.

Desheng patted him on the head: "Stop complaining, everyone in the palace is in danger now, if you go out and come back with your life, burn incense."

Xiao Shunzi trembled: "Did you hear something?"

Baowen Pavilion and the elders of the former dynasty can often meet face to face, and occasionally hear some court affairs when serving tea and water.But most of them don't understand, and usually just listen to it for fun.They heard even less about the harem.

However, Desheng has a very good friend who works in Changle Palace. Although he is a low-ranking palace man and not close to his master, he likes to inquire about things.

"...I heard from Aji that a palace maid died in Qionghua Palace, and the investigation was done strictly."

Xiao Shunzi was speechless: "It's about the Fifth Prince?"

Desheng nodded: "It is said that the eldest prince has been searching for many days but can't find any clues. On the contrary, many spies have been found in the harem. The little maid named Yao Zhu is a spy, but I don't know which family sent it in. The emperor was furious about this matter, and asked Eunuch Gao to select some innocent palace people to guard Yongning Palace."

Sui Bao'er never paid any attention to this, and just kept his head down to eat, and he listened to what they said.But after going out to pick up food twice, he also felt the tension in the palace.Afterwards, I couldn't help but regret getting involved with the little eunuch.

"...Speaking of which, although our Baowen Pavilion doesn't have much to offer, at least we don't get involved in the battles in the harem, so we won't lose our lives unknowingly."

Desheng took a bite of his meal, and then nodded: "That's right. Something happened in Qionghua Palace, and the queen was about to give birth again. Marquis Zhen Guo rushed to lead the army at this time, and he didn't stop inside and outside. We little people should be honest. Shrink your neck."

"The empress has had no children for many years, so it's no wonder the emperor attaches so much importance to it." Xiao Shunzi moved his buttocks and said, "When I went to the dining room to pick up food, I saw Eunuch Gao walking around picking people. What do you think of this spy? You can write the word spy on your forehead, and I don’t know how Eunuch Gao picks people. If some bad people get in, Eunuch Gao’s head will hang."

"Hey, it's all about the important people, why worry about it. Anyway, you can't pick Baowen Pavilion anyway..."

The voice of the conversation gradually decreased, and only the voices of three people chewing remained in the dining hall.

As the delivery date approached, Wei Shuning would often walk around the Yongning Palace a few times to help with delivery.Nanny Gui took care of her by her side every step of the way.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Gao is asking to see you."

Wei Shuning nodded slightly: "Please."

Gao Hai's chubby face was a ball of laughter, seeing the queen's huge belly, he was relieved but also a little worried.

He has served Li Huai for many years, so he knows Li Huai very well.From outsiders' point of view, although the emperor favored Concubine Feng Gui, he showed a little bit of respect to the empress.But Gao Hai knew that the emperor was estranged and guarded against the queen.This is due to the Marquis of Zhen Guo, but after thinking about it, it seems that something is wrong.

If the empress gives birth to an heir, the battle for the throne will surely stir up another wave.It would be fine if Zhen Guohou returned triumphantly, but if not... Gao Hai couldn't help his brows jumping, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Eunuch Gao came to Yongning Palace, why not?"

Wei Shuning has a good sense of Gao Hai, and her words are less majestic.

Gao Hai calmed down, and said with a smile: "Recently, the palace is not peaceful, and the Marquis of Zhen Guo is going on an expedition. I'm afraid Xiao Xiao will take the opportunity to make trouble. The emperor specially ordered this old slave to select some capable palace people and strengthen the defense against Yongning Palace."

Wei Shuning frowned slightly.

Upon seeing this, Gao Hai hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, these people are only guarding the periphery, checking people who enter and exit Yongning Palace. In Yongning Palace, you can do what your Majesty does, these people will not disturb your Majesty."

"Is the person chosen by Eunuch Gao himself?"

Gao Hai bowed his waist: "The emperor is cautious and does not ask outsiders to intervene. People are selected by the old slave after checking one by one."

Wei Shuning nodded: "Thank you, Eunuch Gao. I would like to ask Eunuch Gao to report back to the emperor, and say that the emperor has kindly accepted it. Now that the arrangement has been made, let's stay. It will be more secure."

Gao Hai left Yongning Palace with a smile, but his mood could not be calm for a long time.Even if you are cautious, there is no guarantee that the selected person will be completely safe.Once something happens, he is the first to bear the brunt.

Nanny Gui was also disturbed.

Wei Shuning thought for a while, and said: "The sacred will must not be violated. In the end, Eunuch Gao will be more considerate and more cautious in choosing candidates. We just have to be careful about the rest. Besides, there is no such thing, There will always be other omissions, it's better to just put people in front of your eyes and stare at them."

Wei Shuhua has been living in the palace to take care of Wei Shuning. He heard the words and said: "Eldest sister, don't worry too much. Nanny Gui said that elder sister's baby looks good, and eldest sister is not the first child. As long as you relax, you will be happy." It went well. At that time, Nanny Gui will only be responsible for taking care of the elder sister, and Shuhua will be outside, so those who are not good-looking will not be allowed to bump into the elder sister."

Although Wei Shuhua has no experience in palace fighting, she can't hold her tongue.The two sisters don't see each other often, and Wei Shuning doesn't know when her sister learned to be so tricky.Those concubines who came together were let go by Wei Shuhua once every time they came.They also persevered, scolding again and again.At first Wei Shuning was annoyed, but later she found it funny.

Wei Shuning's concubines didn't know that they were out of breath, but they were out of breath anyway.

After Cui Meiren hit a wall again and returned, she decided not to go to Yongning Palace again.

Fennel had a stinky face: "Anyway, she is also a noble lady, but she has learned to be as vulgar as a market woman."

Cui Meiren waved her hand weakly: "What's the point of getting angry with her? It's just a young lady from a concubine, and she has the name of Kefu, she's just showing off for a while."

Fen Xiang said again: "Eunuch Gao sent someone to Yongning Palace, the servants looked at the emperor and seemed to attach great importance to the empress's fetus."

Cui Meiren sneered: "Who knows whether these people are guarding against the people outside or the people in Yongning Palace."

"Beauty means... the emperor doesn't want the queen to give birth smoothly?"

Cui Meiren glared at her, "That's a concubine from the middle palace, not to mention that the Marquis of Zhen Guo is still away, how can the emperor call Yongning Palace to have an accident at this moment."

Fennel does not understand.

Cui Mei said humanely: "In the game between the emperor and the nobles, at least for now, it seems that the emperor is slightly better. As for how to proceed in the future, it depends on whether the person in Yongning Palace can really give birth to a prince."

There was a sneer at the corner of her mouth: "I just don't know if other people can sit still and let the queen give birth smoothly."

"My servant sees that Concubine Feng Gui has returned to her usual attitude recently. I heard that she went to Yongning Palace to pay her respects a few days ago, but her complexion was not very good when she came out."

"I thought she could hold her breath, but she's just an idiot with no brains. The eldest prince is impressive, so it's no wonder that the emperor is interested in the eldest prince."

Fen Xiang said: "But the eldest prince's foundation is shallow. The heart of an emperor is unpredictable. Once Feng Guifei loses power, even if the eldest prince is talented, it will not help."

Cui Meiren raised her teacup and raised her eyebrows: "Just look at it, there are a lot of traitors in this palace. Restrain the people in our palace, I'm afraid the harem will be overturned in a short time."
