Willing to be hired by Jiangshan

Self-reliance

Let's say that Luo Ying was arranging her clothes recently, and Fang recalled the flower cakes her mother put in the box, so she invited Huang Wan and Du Ruo to taste them.

She ordered the maid to give a box to the two of them, "Sisters, try it quickly, I brought it from my hometown, it is very delicious, slightly sweet but not greasy, and the skin is thin and crispy. The bread inside is all fresh roses .This is a specialty of our Southwest."

Hearing this, Huang Wan put down the flower cake in her hand, "Since it is a special product, my sister, why don't you invite other sisters to try it?"

"Invite other sisters?" Luo Ying raised her head, a little embarrassed, "...my sister only has these two boxes, which is too little."

When Du Ruo heard the words, she glanced at Huang Wan, and said with a smile, "It's a kindness to taste a piece each! Why don't you call Concubine Hui over? Didn't she give us her family's fermented rice last time?"

Huang Wan nodded, called the maid, and asked her to invite Zhao Zhenzhen.

When Zhao Zhenzhen saw the flower cake, she loved it very much.This cake is exquisite in workmanship, especially the painted roses on the crust, which are bright red and really beautiful.

Luo Ying said, "Young lady, try it quickly."

Zhao Zhenzhen nodded, took a bite, the fragrance was overflowing, and it lingered on her lips and teeth after eating, "Sister, this flower cake is really amazing!"

Huang Wan said: "This is an authentic Southwest specialty, the emperor has never eaten it!"

Originally, the flower cake was a tribute from the Southwest, but due to the long journey, it was not easy to preserve. After it was delivered, it no longer had the same taste, so it was no longer a tribute, and the imperial chef directly learned how to make it.

When Zhao Zhenzhen heard the words, she kept an eye out, "Sister, the flower cake is so delicious, how many do you have? Can I ask my sister to bring back two more yuan, and taste it carefully?"

"Why not?" Luo Ying took out a box from the room, "This is the last box, give it to my sister!"

Anyway, the three of them just have a try.Since Zhao Zhenzhen likes it, I will give it to her. After all, I can be regarded as a bosom friend.

Zhao Zhenzhen spoke a few more words with the three of them, and then returned to the palace with the flower cake in her arms.

For such a good thing, she naturally had to give a few dollars to Concubine Yi.

After returning to the palace, she immediately sent someone to find a small and exquisite box, arranged the flower cakes one by one, and also found a few dried petals to decorate them. After finishing packing, she went to Changqing Palace with the maidservant.

Since the last time I accidentally heard from Huang Wan that Zhao Zhenzhen didn't want to come to pay her respects, and then found a painting that the emperor liked to please the emperor, Hu Qingqing had a lot of opinions on this Zhao Zhenzhen. Seeing her come to the door today, it's really Quite a surprise.

Zhao Zhenzhen saluted, and presented the box in her hand, "Madam Yifei, this concubine brought this specially for Madam, Madam, taste it, it tastes very good!"

Hu Qingqing's maid, Huan'er, took the box, opened it, and sent the things to Hu Qingqing.Hu Qingqing picked up a piece, and her face turned pale as soon as she took a bite, "What's the filling for your cake?"

Zhao Zhenzhen didn't know that the catastrophe was imminent, so she said like a few treasures: "This is a flower cake from Southwest China. It is filled with fresh rose petals. Concubine Yi, please try it. It's sweet and not greasy. It's delicious!"

Hu Qingqing changed color suddenly, swept the flower cake on the ground, and shouted: "Bold Concubine Hui! How dare you murder the little prince!" Bi Yang slapped her hand, her voice was extremely crisp.

Zhao Zhenzhen covered her face and was stunned, she forgot to cry, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, "Why did your mother say that about the concubine? When did the concubine murder the little prince?" How dare she bear such a big crime?

Huan'er on the side said: "There are all the witnesses and material evidence, do you still want to deny it?" She pointed to the messy flower cake on the ground, and shouted, "Since you know it's rose stuffing, how dare you offer it to Concubine Yi! You say you have no intention of murder? Come, someone! Quickly take Concubine Hui down!"

"Wait a minute!" Zhao Zhenzhen was confused, "Rose stuffing... so what?"

Huan'er sneered, "Concubine Hui, do you really not understand or are you just pretending to be confused? Roses have the effect of activating blood and dispelling silt, don't say you don't know!"

Zhao Zhenzhen's face was pale, and she sat down on the ground, "I, I..." I couldn't say a word for a long time.She really doesn't know this!No wonder Luo Ying and the others didn't give this flower cake to Concubine Yi, she thought it was because the three of them didn't expect it, and she took advantage of it.

It turned out that she was too stupid and reckless.

Hu Qingqing ordered people to pick up the scattered flower cakes on the ground, wrap them up, and take them to the Longevity Palace.

Before reaching the gate of the palace, she was already crying uncontrollably, "Grandmother, you have to decide for your concubine! Concubine Hui, concubine Hui, she actually gave her concubine flower cakes... Isn't this trying to harm the little prince? Ruochen concubine I don't know, what should I do if I ate this cake by mistake?" She waved her hand, and the maidservant at the side presented the flower cake to the Empress Dowager, "My concubine pitied her for just entering the palace, and treated her like a sister. ..." Then he started crying again.

The Empress Dowager got a headache from her crying, and was even more confused when she heard it. She clicked the ring, "Come on!"

Huan'er told the whole story, and the Empress Dowager was very shocked, "Concubine Hui, I really didn't expect you to do such a thing! I really disappointed Ai's family! Come and invite the emperor!" Once this kind of atmosphere If you can't stop at the beginning, you must be severely punished to police the harem.

When Concubine Hui heard that she was going to invite the emperor, she couldn't even sit still and collapsed on the ground.Pulling the hem of the empress dowager's clothes, she cried: "Grandmother, this concubine really has no intention of murdering the prince! You must trust this concubine..."

The empress dowager frowned, "Whether you have it or not, we will know when the emperor comes!"

Lin Rongchen came to Yongshou Palace with a dark face.Even Hu Qingqing stopped crying and didn't dare to make trouble anymore.

"Your Majesty, the concubine was wronged!" Zhao Zhenzhen couldn't care less, if she didn't defend herself, she would really be doomed.

Lin Rongchen said coldly: "Concubine Hui, do you have any evidence to prove that you did not intend to murder the prince?"

Zhao Zhenzhen pulled Chunhong, the maidservant who usually served close to her, "Your Majesty, Chunhong can testify for my concubine!"

Lin Rongchen looked at Chunhong.Chunhong's legs trembled, and she knelt down, but said nothing.

Only then did Zhao Zhenzhen realize that someone wanted to put him to death!

"Concubine Hui has misbehaved today and is suspected of murdering Concubine Yi and the prince in her womb. Now concubine Hui will be removed from her position and demoted to Concubine Hui!"

Zhao Zhenzhen finally got Lin Rongchen's favor, and she lost everything overnight, she was so angry that she almost gritted her silver teeth! "Your Majesty, my concubine really doesn't know that pregnant women can't eat flower cakes. If they want to harm Concubine Yi, they will definitely not use this method!"

Hu Qingqing said: "You must think that I am careless and would not think of these things."

"The concubine does not! The concubine can swear to the sky, if he has such a heart, the sky will strike him with lightning!"

Lin Rongchen was too lazy to listen to their quarrel, "Enough! Don't talk about it! Concubine Hui, why don't you reflect on yourself! Are you really willing to be thrown into limbo by me?"

Zhao Zhenzhen was frightened, shut up quickly, and gave Hu Qingqing a resentful look.

Returning to the palace, he smashed all the things that could be smashed, and then he was relieved a little.The maid in the palace persuaded her badly, and she calmed down.She crossed her hips and said, "Where's that bitch Chunhong?"

Chunhong jumped out from nowhere, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly, "Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, please spare my life! The slaves are also forced by Concubine Yi, there is no way..."

"You still have the face to come back!" Zhao Zhenzhen was kicked far away by someone, found a feather duster, and greeted Chunhong, "Little bitch! Learn to betray the owner and beg for glory, see if I don't beat you to death today!"

Chunhong prostrated herself on the ground, holding her head, without moving, and followed Zhao Zhenzhen to vent her anger.When she was tired, she got up and cried: "Mother, Concubine Yi said that if I don't listen to her, she will kill... kill Xiaojie, you know, the maidservant is just such a younger brother... there is really no Way! I'm sorry, slave! From now on, slave's life is yours!"

"Remember what you said! Get up and get the medicine!" Zhao Zhenzhen knew that Chunhong's parents had died early, and she only had a ten-year-old younger brother who valued her life more than her. Take a breath, that's all.Since someone wanted to frame her, there would be Qiuyue without Chunhong.The top priority right now is to get rid of the bottom line.

"This Concubine Yi, thinks she can deal with me like this? Since she framed me for harming her child, wouldn't I be too sorry for her if I don't do something? Caixiu, go and ask, what is Concubine Yi afraid of!"

Caixiu, like Chunhong, was brought into the palace by Zhao Zhenzhen.However, Caixiu grew up in the Zhao Mansion, and she is more trustworthy than Chunhong. "Your Majesty, let's restrain ourselves recently! After all, the Emperor is angry. If something happens, the Emperor will be the first to suspect you. The gain outweighs the loss!"

"Hmph! What are you afraid of, won't Ben Gong kill someone with a knife?"

It didn't take long for Zhao Zhenzhen's story to spread throughout the harem.Huang Wan and Du Ruo were talking, when Luo Ying came running, "Have you heard? Concubine Hui presented the flower cake to Concubine Yi. Concubine Yi said she was going to murder the little prince, and now she has been demoted by the emperor." Oh my god! It's all my fault. I didn't remind her that pregnant women can't eat flower cakes. What should I do... If the emperor knows that this cake was sent by me, will I be punished too? Sister Wan, you What should I do? Are you going to apologize to the Emperor and Concubine Yi?"

Du Ruobai glanced at him, "Did you send the flower cake? She obviously asked for it herself. She lifted a rock and shot herself in the foot, what's your business? Don't make a fuss!"

Huang Wan nodded, "This matter has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with us. Don't think too much about it. She has evil intentions and wants to curry favor with Concubine Yi. She didn't expect her cleverness to be misunderstood by her cleverness, and she just reaped the consequences."

Huang Wan comforted her, and then sent her away, "I still have some books you like to read in my room, you can follow Zi Yan to get them, I have something to talk to you, Sister Du."

Luo Ying had always admired Huang Wan's talent, but now that she could read her favorite book, she was overjoyed and forgot what happened just now.

After she left, Du Ruo said, "What does Elder Sister Wan want to say?"

Huang Wan said: "Only this time, I'm afraid the emperor won't throw Concubine Hui into limbo. If she turns around in the future, she will be difficult to deal with."

Du Ruo nodded, "What does sister want to do?"

"I heard that Concubine Yi is particularly afraid of snakes?" Huang Wan seemed to say something unintentionally, and then looked at Du Ruo.

Du Ruo understood, "Du Ruo will definitely do what my sister ordered me to do very properly."

Huang Wan nodded lightly, "Remember, don't leave any clues behind."

"rest assured."

A few days later, Concubine Hui's maid, Caixiu, overheard a palace maid discussing, "Madam Yifei, it's true, she must have seen a snake yesterday, so let's find it and kill it! In such a cold day, snakes are not easy to kill." Are you hibernating? Where to find snakes?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down! Don't be overheard! Do whatever your boss tells you to do, why bother?"

Caixiu heard the words, passed by calmly, and returned to the palace to tell Zhao Zhenzhen what she had heard on the way.Zhao Zhenzhen pondered for a while, then suddenly smiled, "There is a way!"

She whispered a few words in Caixiu's ear.

Caixiu nodded and left.
