[Qing Chuan] Gongdou system of black lotus

Chen promised to wait anxiously in Zhongcui Palace for a while, and finally waited for Hongye to come back.

She saw the pastry in Hong Ye's hand, and made a look of anger on purpose, "I asked you to go to the imperial dining room to order a plate of red bean cakes, why did it take you so long? Could it be that you were lazy on the road?"

Hongye knew that Chen promised to find the reason for her not coming back for so long, so she hurriedly showed a frightened expression, "How dare you be lazy, it's just that the time when you go is just unlucky, and the red bean cake in the imperial dining room has just been asked for by other ladies." Let's go, the servant waited in the imperial dining room for a while before getting this red bean cake, please try it, your lady, it's still hot."

Or to say that this life is training people, before Hongye was a clumsy court lady in Xianfu Palace, at most she was more courageous, nothing special, after a lot of exercise these days, her ability to open her mouth and talk nonsense has improved.

Hongye placed the food box in front of Chen Ying, and quickly brought out a plate of red bean cakes. Chen Ying was about to pick up a piece with chopsticks and try it, but Mammy Liu reached out to stop her, "Don't worry, promise , After Rong Lao Nu has tried the poison, it’s not too late for you to eat it.”

Chen promised to put down the chopsticks awkwardly, and said with a little embarrassment: "I forgot about it, you can try it, mammy."

Grandma Liu took out a silver needle and checked the red bean cake one by one without haste. I follow promise every day, but there are always unexpected times.”

These words are a bit outrageous, and I have committed a crime.

Chen promised that it sounded uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't dare to confront Liu Mama. In Zhongcui Palace, no one knew that Liu Mama and the others were sent by Concubine Gao to stare at her. To fight against Gao Guifei is to fight against Concubine Gao.

Grandma Liu tried the poison, and she stepped aside when she saw that there was no abnormality in the pastry, "I promised to use the pastry."

"I want to eat this pastry with the Liu'an melon slices that the imperial concubine gave me a few days ago. Mammy will make me a cup of tea." Chen promised to give orders to Mammy Liu after humming.

Nanny Liu raised her eyes to look at her, said yes without a smile on her face, and backed away.

As soon as she left, there was no one else around, so Chen promised to relax, took Hongye's hand, and asked anxiously: "What does the empress say?"

Hongye lowered her head, not daring to look at Chen's promise later, "The Empress only said two words—as usual."

"As usual?" Chen promised to be startled, she let go of Hongye's hand, her eyes were in a daze, the queen obviously didn't intend to intervene to help her find a way, as usual, isn't it just to use the previous plan to deal with Xian Concubine's method is used to deal with Concubine Gao.

However, Concubine Gao Gui is different from Concubine Xian, she has the Empress Dowager behind her.

Even if the plan is successful, she will not have any good fruit to eat, and the Queen Mother will never bypass her.

Her lips trembled, her teeth bit her lower lip, and she felt as if she was in the twelfth winter, with the cold coming from her bones. She still didn't give up, and wanted to struggle to the death, "I don't believe it, I don't believe that the Empress is so cruel. I It's not all because of her that I got into trouble this time."

When Chen promised to say this, he said it too much for his own face. This time, in the final analysis, Chen promised himself to open his mouth and wanted to atone for his sins, and it was not the queen who forced him to do so. Moreover, Chen promised himself to come up with this idea.

When she was scheming people, she was full of joy, and she never thought of the fate of others. Now that she is in this dilemma, she can only say that she is self-inflicted and can't live.

"Promise, the Empress really said those two words." Hongye looked at Chen Xu with pity and helplessness, she gritted her teeth, and said: "Besides, when the servant left, Madam Liu also beat the servant , let the slaves remind you not to say things you shouldn't say."

Chen Xu's face turned even paler in an instant, her eyelids twitched rapidly, and her heart was flustered and frightened.

"I promise, your tea is here." Nanny Liu brought the brewed Lu'an melon slices and walked into the room.

Chen promised to clean up his expression quickly, lowered his head, stretched out his hand to pick up a piece of red bean cake, and put it in his mouth. The mother Liu looked at her in surprise, but found that Chen promised not to look at her directly. She glanced.

The nanny sneered in her heart, but it was just a small promise, so she was so proud.

The undercurrent of Zhongcui Palace is surging, and not many people know about it on the bright side. Gu Qianqian has been waiting for the news of Zhongcui Palace. Everything that Concubine Gao has done is useless. The problem is not external enemies, but internal troubles.

As long as Chen promises that this person has a ghost in his heart, no matter what Concubine Gao does, it will be superfluous.

She waited patiently, not in a hurry, besides, Gu Qianqian had other things to be busy with, the days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming again on August [-]th, last year the Empress Dowager was eating vegetarian food and praying to the Buddha in Mount Wutai Well, there is no big event in the palace, this year the Empress Dowager is back, and since the Empress Dowager likes extravagance, the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet has to be grand and grand.

Since the draft, the queen has not held on to the power of the palace, so this year's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is organized by Gu Qianqian and her.

In other words, everything has been rushed together, and it was not a big deal to hold a big palace banquet, but not long ago, Qianlong called on all officials to be diligent and thrifty, so this matter is a bit tricky.

If it was done grandly, it would be a slap in the face of the Long Live Lord himself, and if it was done too simply, it would be a slap in the face of the Queen Mother.

Under the dilemma, let alone Gu Qianqian, even the queen would suffer from a headache.

The boss at the top is in trouble, and the lives of the people below are even more difficult. It is said that the chief eunuchs in charge of the imperial dining room and the sewing room are getting angry these days.

Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, and there were still a lot of things that hadn't been made up, the queen finally couldn't sit still. She asked Mother Liu to come and invite Gu Qianqian to discuss this matter.

"My concubine pays her respects to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager is blessed and safe." After entering the Yikun Palace, Gu Qianqian was about to bow her knees and salute.

The queen who was sitting on the couch in the warm pavilion saw her coming, but she put down the teacup, and walked over to help her up, "Sister, get up quickly, why do you have to be so oblivious?"

"Courtesy cannot be changed, empress." Gu Qianqian said calmly, the old saying goes well, if there is nothing to show courteousness, it is either rape or robbery. She has given the queen so many gifts, and the queen has never refused, and now she comes suddenly Corporal Li Xian's move, fools have figured out that there is something wrong.

The expression on the Queen's face remained unchanged, she still had a smile on her face, and she even praised: "Sister Concubine Xian is sensible, no wonder Long Live Lord loves you so much."

Gu Qianqian smiled, let her hold her hand, and sat down on the couch.

Duan Rong brought a cup of Biluochun, the queen said with a smile: "I heard that my sister likes to drink Biluochun recently, I wonder if the tea here in my palace can suit my sister's wishes?"

Gu Qianqian lifted the tea cover, and the fresh scent of tea came oncoming. She took a sip, and it was indeed a rare good tea. This matter is very tricky.

"The empress's stuff is naturally good, and the concubine just feels endless aftertaste after drinking it. It's really good tea." Gu Qianqian changed her mind and said with a smile. She really wanted to see what the empress wanted to say.

"Since my younger sister likes it, I'll bring some back when I go back later." The queen said grandly, "I drink a lot of Dahongpao here, so it's a waste of this Biluochun here."

"Why is this so embarrassing? If you don't get rewarded for nothing, how can a concubine ask for your mother's things?" Gu Qianqian hurriedly refused.

But the queen was not willing to let her refuse, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't be polite, but a little tea, can't the love between you and me be as good as this tea?"

Gu Qianqian only felt her teeth sore, she really admired the queen a little bit now, it is indeed a talent to open her eyes and talk nonsense to this level, she did not answer this nonsense, she pursed her lips and smiled, showing a shy look.

Seeing that she didn't answer, the queen was not in a hurry, and chatted with her while drinking tea.

Even though the two scheming women both regarded each other as enemies, they both acted very affectionately when it came time to make false claims, not only talking and laughing, but also flattering each other.

If you read it without knowing the inside story, you may really think how good the relationship between the two is.

About half an hour later, the queen pretended to be casual and said: "Speaking of which, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also coming. I am really worried about the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet recently. After thinking about it, there is only one thing, my sister. It can be solved."

"I'm afraid the empress thinks too much of my concubine. How could my concubine handle things that you can't solve?" Gu Qianqian's eyes flashed, and she made an excuse casually to push the matter away.

Now Qianlong and the Empress Dowager are two big bosses who are having a fight, and the empress does not dare to intervene in this country at will. Why should she intervene as a concubine?Although it's not that she can't handle it, the problem is that she doesn't need to ask for trouble at all.

"Sister, don't rush to refuse." The queen was not surprised by Concubine Xian's reaction. She smiled and said, "I didn't ask you to do things for nothing. If you can handle this matter well, I can agree to it." One thing for you, as long as it's not too much."

This is the attitude of finding people to do things.Gu Qianqian was a little moved. Speaking of which, she really needed the Queen's permission for something. However, she would not rush to reveal her hole cards. The effort and gain are equal, and she has to hear what it is. "Empress, for the sake of your words, it is not easy for the concubine to refuse, but the concubine wants to know what you want the concubine to do first?"

A smile appeared in the queen's eyes, "I want you to persuade the Long Live Lord to give in to the Empress Dowager. It is not impossible to be diligent and thrifty, but why bother to save money on palace banquets? No one else can do this. Only you have the chance to succeed."

hiss--

Gu Qianqian gasped, no wonder she was able to promise one thing, it was really fucking tricky.

This kind of "family conflict" is troublesome in modern times. The husband and mother-in-law can't get over one thing. If the daughter-in-law intervenes, if she has no means, it will probably end badly, either offending one party to death, or Both parties were offended, and they were not pleased inside and out.But now, it is even more troublesome, one is the king of a country, the [-]th five-year-old; the other is the mother of the king, and she is still ambitious.

This matter is really difficult.

"Empress, you have really created a problem for my concubine." Gu Qianqian shook her head helplessly, "I am afraid that this concubine will not be able to agree to it. Please ask someone else to be smart."

"Two things." Seeing that she refused without saying a word, the Queen quickly raised the reward.

Gu Qianqian raised her eyes and looked at the queen in surprise.

Seeing that she was showing signs of being moved, the queen said calmly: "It is already a big risk for me to promise you these two things, and you should also understand that now you are also helping me. The palace manages the harem, if the palace banquet is not handled properly, you will not be able to escape responsibility."

Gu Qianqian turned her eyes, and finally sighed, "Okay, the concubine agreed."

The queen was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at Gu Qianqian suspiciously, seeing her frowning, looking worried, she thought to herself, maybe she is overthinking, why does she feel like she has fallen into the trap of Concubine Xian?

Suppressing the thoughts in her heart, the queen said: "I will leave this matter to you, I hope you can finish it as soon as possible."

"The concubine will let the empress do what she wants, but shouldn't the empress also show something?" Gu Qianqian said: "It's not that the concubine doesn't trust the empress, but she just wants to get paid first."

"You can mention one thing first." The queen said with a smile while suppressing her displeasure.

"Then please ask the concubine to give the concubine a token to go out of the palace. Sometimes it is inconvenient for the concubine to let people go out to buy something. If you want a token, you can let the eunuch serving in the palace go out to replace the concubine in the future." Shopping." Gu Qianqian said with a smile.

Tokens for going out of the palace are rare items, and only Qianlong and the empress have them in the palace. This token is not for the masters, but for eunuchs and maids to go out of the palace.With this token, you can go out if you want to go out.Without this token, if you want to go out, you have to go through multiple procedures, and what's more terrible is that the queen is the one who got stuck in this procedure.

Gu Qianqian had long been tempted by the token of leaving the palace, but she had no chance before, and now the queen sent it to her door, how could she refuse?

The empress looked at her, the black eyes were filled with undercurrents, she was sure that Concubine Xian really planned it in advance, and ordinary concubines would ask for a token to leave the palace at this time?

"Okay, I can give it to you." The queen said decisively.

"Thank you Empress Empress." Gu Qianqian smiled, "The other thing left, I will mention it to Empress later."

The queen smiled, turned around and told Nanny Liu with a panicked look, "Mommy, go get a token."

Nanny Liu was full of reluctance, but in front of Concubine Xian, she couldn't disobey the Queen's order. This was slapping the Queen in the face. With blood dripping from her heart, she took the token and handed it to Gu Qianqian.

The slap-sized, pure copper and gold-plated token gave off a heavy feeling after dropping it. Gu Qianqian felt much happier. The matter that had been on her mind has been resolved, which is really happy.

"Thank you Empress Empress, the concubine will not bother Empress Empress here, and concubine will leave first." Gu Qianqian stood up.

Duan Rong next to him handed the prepared tea to Du Juan.

Gu Qianqian's master and servant left.

As soon as they left, Nanny Liu couldn't help but said: "Mother, is that the token of leaving the palace? You're just taking advantage of Concubine Xian. If Concubine Xian uses the token for leaving the palace to do something, you won't be able to escape the responsibility." .”

The queen laughed softly, calmly, "Nurse, you don't have to panic. What you thought of, this palace also thought of. This time, it is true that Concubine Xian has gained a lot of money, but the token of leaving the palace is in the hands of Concubine Xian. In fact, she will not use it for anything casually. She is a smart person and will not do anything to make people gossip. Moreover, it is not certain who will take advantage this time. How can the temper of Long Live be so easy to persuade? Ben Gong If Concubine Xian can do things that she can't even do, this palace deserves to suffer this time."

Mother Liu was stunned, and she asked hesitantly, "Do you think Concubine Xian can't do this?"

This was something she didn't expect. She originally thought that the queen agreed to Concubine Xian because she believed that Concubine Xian would definitely be able to handle this matter well.

Unexpectedly, the queen was not optimistic about Concubine Xian.

"What do you think? Will this palace make so many good things for concubine Xian for nothing? The purpose of this palace is just to make concubine Xian act as a substitute for the dead, and make Long live God angry. In this way, if I speak again, Long live God will also I can no longer refuse." The queen said with determination.

Mammy Liu smacked her mouth, thinking about it, Concubine Xian really didn't get any good this time.The exit token was given to her, but if the errand was not handled well, the token had to be returned.

Sure enough, their mothers are smart!
