Shen Gong Ji

The moment the knock on the door sounded, the other two and I were shocked at the same time.

To open or not to open...that is the question...

It's so late, the palace has rules, you shouldn't walk around after dinner, how can anyone come at this hour?

Button button button, the unhurried knock on the door continued.I clenched my fist and shook my heart, even if it was a ghost, I would fight it!At worst, I will chant Amitabha Buddha for it!

I winked at Wenfeng and told him to answer the door.He swallowed, and asked with a trembling voice, "Who is it?" "Hui Cairen, attendant Wu Jingong, please see me."

I almost collapsed on the chair, and finally let out the breath I was holding in my heart...

It turned out to be Uncle Jin...

What kind of plane!What is he doing here so late? !

Wen Feng opened the door, stepped aside, and saluted the person outside the door, "Uncle."

Immediately afterwards, I saw Uncle Jin's bitter and bitter face appearing behind the door.He nodded in style, then walked over to me in a dignified way and bowed to me, "I've met Cai Ren."

See you sister...pretending to be real...

Before he saw it, I covered the painting with another piece of rice paper, looked at the palace servants waiting on the side, cleared my throat, and stood up, "Oh, it turned out to be Uncle Jin, come here, take a seat !"

We two pretended to exchange greetings, and when he sat down, I asked most of the palace servants to leave the room, leaving only Wen Feng and Qian Yi to serve tea and wait outside.

Seeing that he came to me so late, he probably wanted to avoid people's eyes and ears, right?Although I don't know much about many potential rules in this palace, I guess he is avoiding something.

So after Qianyi put down the curtain separating the study room from the outside room, I lowered my voice and said to him, "What's the matter?"

"I'm just here to remind you." He took a sip of tea and lowered his voice, "Otherwise I'm afraid you'll die before you even meet His Majesty."

"...Is it that serious?"

"Who doesn't walk on thin ice in this palace?" After he said this, he turned his head and looked around again, making sure that no one could hear him, and then he came to me, more cautious than before Whispered, "I got the news that Qi Guo has sent envoys for peace talks, and they will be able to enter Beijing in about two months, and this time the envoys are very special, they are Zhu Ran, the second son of Emperor Qi Guo. His Majesty will definitely To set up a grand plan banquet for him, not only the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, but even the family members of the harem are required to attend."

I was stunned when I heard it.This Grand Plan Banquet seems to be the grandest banquet in their country of Yan, and it is usually only held when receiving extremely distinguished guests.Since this is one of the few official banquets that the harem family can attend, many concubines who don't see His Majesty on weekdays will take this opportunity to try to attract the emperor's attention.Therefore, those dishonest servants in the harem gave this kind of banquet a nickname called Fachun Banquet...

Although I doubt very much that this name was actually given by Uncle Jin...

But I was so "lucky" to be able to catch up with such a big scene just two months after entering the palace...

Speaking of which, this envoy has two talents. He seems to be a very important person to Qiguo, right?Otherwise, Uncle Jin wouldn't be so sure that he would entertain him with a grand feast.

"Do you understand what I'm saying?" He raised his head slightly, "This is a great opportunity for you!"

I sneered, "Come on, His Majesty's thoughts at that kind of banquet must not be on seeing who dresses well, he must be thinking about how to deal with that Prince Qiguo, even if I run naked, I don't think he will notice ..."

Just after I finished speaking, I got hit on the forehead, fuck...he dared to hit me even though he was already a genius...

"Do you know that putting you in this Cuiwei courtyard is no different from putting you in the cold palace?! What kind of place is this? This is a place where people have died and haunted! Walking around, now that you have been put in, who will care about you in the future?!"

Although he suppressed his voice and scolded me, I was still sprayed in the face by his saliva... I hurriedly blocked it with my sleeve, and begged for mercy, "Well, it's okay if I was wrong...I'm an idiot... ...?"

"Why did I find you such a mud that can't stick to the wall..." He slammed me for a while, and then he gave up, taking a sip of water to moisten his throat, "Anyway, think about it these two months, how can you cause me Your Majesty's attention. You have to know how many people are waiting for this time, if you can't think of a good move, no one will see you at all!"

I was dumbfounded by this, who knows how to attract the little emperor's attention?

I asked him this, but he scolded me again, saying that I didn't use my brain.I thought to myself that since I was a child, no one has taught me how to seduce a man...is it the same as seducing a beautiful woman?It would be bad if it was, I've never had success with this...

It really doesn't work... Just try to imagine the little emperor as a little beauty?

This is really easy... After all, that kid looks like a flower...

At this time Uncle Jin spoke again, "In addition, you have to get in touch with a beauty named Guan Shangyi here. Although he is only a beauty, he is just a character with all aspects. Even Mr. Hui admires him very much. He The contacts above are very wide, and it will be beneficial for you to get in touch with him more."

Guan Meiren, it seems that he was one of the two beauties who participated in the court training when the letter was announced that day, but the impression is already very vague.

I nodded, "You mean to get close to him?"

"It's to get close, but." His expression became serious, "You have to be careful. In this palace, there is one thing you must never do, and that is to talk to people."

He said inscrutable, but I can probably understand the meaning.

Does it mean that people's hearts are separated by belly or something?Anyway, no one is telling the truth...

Suddenly, I felt that the little emperor was very pitiful. Living in such a world structured by lies, among those concubines who desperately wanted to be favored by him, how many of them were sincere to him?

If I were him, it would sound like a lie to listen to anyone.

"One last thing, I want to remind you. This Guan Meiren belongs to Mr. Hui, and the relationship between Mr. Hui and Mr. Noble has always been delicate, so if you get close to Mr. Guan, it is tantamount to being an enemy of Mr. Noble. Although Mr. Hui is more expensive than Mr. The young master is favored, but after all he is the person whose status in the harem is second only to the empress, in the future you have to be more careful in what you do and say, and don't attract the attention of the noble young master's faction."

In the days since I entered the palace, I have heard a lot about the affairs between the four young masters.The current queen was originally the prince of Qi, and she married the little emperor for the purpose of marriage. After the war broke out, his status also plummeted.The most powerful person in the current harem is the noble son Ouyang Qi, he is the nephew of the emperor's father, Ouyang's family power is overwhelming, even the little emperor seems to be afraid, so his status is almost the same as that of the queen.And the other Mr. Hui, Lian Moshang, although his background is not as strong as Ouyang Qi, but he is also the son of the current Taiwei, and it is said that this Mr. Hui is so beautiful that he is very favored.If there is anyone in the harem who can compete with the noble young master, it is only him.Virtuous son Zhao Fei is the son of King Beichuan, and he is cousin to the little emperor. He is like a hermit, and he doesn't seem to participate in the contests between noble son and Hui son. Fortunately, he has royal blood, so his status Being tough enough makes him qualified to live this kind of life in peace with the world.It is said that the last Mr. Xian died of illness two years ago, so this seat is vacant, and the nine guests below are drooling at that seat one by one.Young Master Gui and Young Master Hui have always wanted to promote their own people, so it doesn't count if Young Master De is removed from the four young masters. If there is one more person in their camp, the chances of winning will be greater.

I thought these two sons were probably staring at the queen's seat.After all, the status of the queen was in jeopardy after the war.But now that the truce is over, I think these two young men are probably so angry that their beards are going to stand up...

Now that I hear it this way, it seems that Uncle Jin wants me to join Mr. Hui's camp.I felt a little guilty when I heard that, this nobleman has such a powerful backstage and so much power, how can I still survive against him?

"Well, why is it Mr. Hui? Wouldn't it be better for me to live with Mr. Gui...?"

Uncle Jin looked at me and shook his head, looking like a child who can't be taught, "Think about it, if you were from your son's side, would His Majesty like you?"

It was only when I heard him say this that I suddenly became enlightened.The little emperor is Huang Yafu's puppet, and the noble son is like a monitor arranged by Huang Yafu next to the little emperor.Although the little emperor dotes on the noble son very much, he must not feel so comfortable in his heart.

I was secretly startled, if the little emperor favored the young master so much, he wouldn't be doing it for the sake of using Mr. Hui to oppose the noble young master, right?

Then I shook my head again, how could such a small child, with such an innocent smile, have such complicated schemes... I must be thinking too much...

"But don't worry, you, a small character like you, won't attract your son's attention so far." Uncle Jin took another sip of tea without worrying at all.

Being underestimated again...

"Okay, anyway, just find a way to seduce that little kid..." Uncle Jin is not a pedantic person, so I dare to use "little kid" to describe the little emperor in front of him.

In the end, he glared at me, as if saying that I was an idiot, "Do you think it's so easy to seduce the emperor? How did the one who lived in your house die? Tell you, if you can't seduce the emperor, you will be with me." He will end alone." After speaking, he patted his butt and got up, planning to leave.

I asked Wenfeng to take him out, and then I sat on the chair by myself, lifted the rice paper on the painting, and stared at the people in the painting in a daze.

To attract the little emperor's attention...how should he be attracted?The men here are either like a tree facing the wind or like a flower like a jade. No matter how jubilantly shaking a piece of dogtail grass like me, it can't attract people's interest...

Or just run naked?This will definitely attract attention...

And that Guan Shangyi, you have to find a way to get close to him... It's best not to be too obvious. Although, as Uncle Jin said, I will not be looked down upon by your son at all, but even if I am a member of your faction Note that it will always be a hidden danger in the future.

I scratched my head in annoyance, I can't even get along well in the workplace, I don't know how this harem can get along...

At this time, Qianyi came in to exchange tea for me. I saw his big eyes and looked very smart, so I said to him, "Qianyi, I just moved in. I want to visit other wives tomorrow. You probably want to talk to me. Can you tell me which courtyard the ladies live in?"

Qianyi immediately talked about it in a hype, with a bit of showing off his knowledge, and by the way, he also let me know some other information besides the name of the person.And the most important person, Guan Shangyi, lives in the Jinli Pavilion about three or four houses away from me.When mentioning this person, Qianyi used many exaggerated adjectives to praise him, saying that this person is kind and gentle, and also quite talented.I knew it as soon as I heard it. It seems that what Uncle Jin said is true, this Guan Shangyi is a slick character.

But the more such a person is, the more difficult it is to approach.He is equally good to everyone, and it is impossible to simply help me.

So I said, "Heard you say he's so nice, why on earth is he still a lady?"

"I heard that His Majesty originally planned to promote him as a guest-host, but this time Qi Guo proposed peace talks and sent several young masters, one of whom His Majesty liked very much, so he was directly promoted to be a guest-host. The matter of Guan Meiren was just like that. I suppressed it. But Guan Meiren is not in a hurry, she is still the same as before, she is really a big-hearted person~"

Well...he was not angry when his seat was replaced, he either didn't love the little emperor or he was just pretending...

"However, Cairen, if you don't understand something, you can ask Guan Meiren, he is very kind to people. But you have to be careful not to be seen by Hong Jieyu, he hates Guan Meiren the most." Qian Yi lowered his voice talking.

Hong Jieyu, isn't that Hong Zhuo with a pooping face all day long?

So if Guan Shangyi had an enemy, whether it was unilateral or not, it would probably be Hong Zhuo, right?Otherwise, Qianyi wouldn't be the first to think of reminding me about him.

Well... people hate their enemies, maybe I can start here.

It's just that I don't know if Hong Zhuo belongs to your son.

No matter, just take a gamble.
