Chapter 103 104: Maybe it fell into His Majesty's eyes
But she always felt that things were not that simple, so she looked at Anshun and said, "Go to Cuiwei Palace and say that I want to visit Concubine Lu, and ask Concubine Lu if you have time."
Concubine Lu suffered a big loss and lost her title. How could she do such a thing.
"yes."
Anshun left quickly and came back quickly, "Concubine Lu said please come over, master."
Song Yunzhao changed his clothes, took Xiangxue and Yulu and went to Cuiwei Palace.
Concubine Lu didn't look very good when she saw Song Yunzhao, but Song Yunzhao didn't care, so she directly said what she wanted.
Concubine Lu was surprised, looked at Song Yunzhao and said angrily, "Song Jieyu is suspicious of me?"
Song Yunzhao chuckled, "If the concubine had doubted Concubine Lu, she wouldn't come to the door in person now."
Concubine Lu's expression froze, "Then what do you mean?"
"Because it involves people in the empress's palace, the concubine naturally wants to ask the empress to ask for clarification." Song Yunzhao sighed lightly, "I know that empress Lu hates me very much, but this matter must be investigated clearly. The empress is not willing to take an innocent charge, right?"
Concubine Lu's face was darkened by Song Yunzhao's anger, and she said directly: "Using the imperial dining room to hit you in the face, such a thing is not something I would do. Going around, I don't have to lose my face!"
Song Yunzhao smiled without saying a word.
Concubine Lu asked Yunshang to ask questions to find out if this matter is true.
She gets angry when she sees Song Yunzhao now. If other people encounter this kind of thing, they will either seek bad luck from the imperial dining room, or go to the imperial court to file a complaint.
Song Yunzhao looked at Concubine Lu's face like a pot bottom, and didn't say anything, just sat there and waited quietly, and could faintly hear voices coming from outside the hall.
Concubine Lu kept her face sullen and silent, deliberately ignoring Song Yunzhao, thinking that she would be a little uncomfortable, but she didn't know that this person didn't respond, she really admired her cheekiness.
The atmosphere in the hall was weird, and Yun Shang outside the hall didn't look good after asking her questions.
"My Lady, that maid only said that she was entrusted to do things, but she refused to explain who she was entrusted with."
Song Yunzhao looked at Concubine Lu with a delicate expression when he heard the words. The court lady readily admitted that she did it.
Song Yunzhao decided to light the fire, looked at Yunshang and said, "Is the maid in the palace refusing to explain, or does she not have to explain?"
Yun Shang's complexion changed slightly, and she immediately looked at Song Jieyu and said, "Slaves dare not speak half a word, how could our mother do such a thing for no reason?"
"How could it be for no reason? The title of Concubine Lu was lost because of me. The two of us have old grudges." Song Yunzhao said with a straight face.
Yun Shang was speechless for a while, this is really true.
Concubine Lu looked at Song Yunzhao, "You don't have to be eccentric, if I really target you, how can I do such a boring thing, use the imperial dining room to target you, make a big deal out of small things, and you won't be able to get on the stage, it's a shame for me."
Song Yunzhao looked at Concubine Lu and said word by word: "Although I have a bad relationship with Your Majesty, I do understand her temperament somewhat, so I came to ask for clarification. However, although I understand, people outside may not be able to believe it, Madam, do you think so?"
Concubine Lu still can't understand Song Yunzhao's meaning?
This is for her to check it herself!
"You have a good plan."
"The concubine is just giving the concubine a chance to prove her innocence. If the imperial dining room can be easily interfered with, the food is just poor today. But if someone else does something wrong in the future, the concubine, how can we eat with peace of mind? The concubine is just a concubine, so naturally the concubine can only be determined by the concubine."
There is no such plot in the book at all, it can be seen that it was derived because of myself, in other words, it is aimed at her.
Song Yunzhao is right, she doesn't have that much power even as a Jieyu, and it is impossible to clean up the imperial dining room.
But she can't do it, someone can do it, since the people behind the scenes dragged Concubine Lu into trouble, she can use Concubine Lu's hand to achieve her goals.
Concubine Lu looked at Song Yunzhao silently, thinking in her heart, as long as she has half the thickness of her skin, she won't lose her title.
"I will help you, what benefits can it have?"
"Your Majesty said this, how could it be a concubine? You are helping yourself to clear the suspicion."
Concubine Lu stared at Song Yunzhao.
Song Yunzhao smiled.
The bribed maid is still kneeling outside, she is very confident.
Concubine Lu really didn't want to see Song Yunzhao's face, so she started to push people away with a dark face.
Song Yunzhao knew that Concubine Lu had promised to investigate, so he stood up and left very satisfied.
After Song Yunzhao left, Concubine Lu said to Yunshang: "I'll investigate for this palace, and we must find out the people behind."
Dare to use her as a knife, she dares to chop off his claws.
Yun Shang hurriedly nodded in response, and said worriedly: "Madam, will Song Jieyu gossip in front of the emperor about this matter?"
Concubine Lu: …
Who can guarantee this?
As far as Song Yunzhao's temperament is concerned, she can't figure it out.
Seeing that the master's expression is not very good, Yun Chang said cautiously: "The servant guesses that since Song Jieyu came to inform the empress first, she probably wouldn't pull the empress back. Song Jieyu is right. With her current position, it is inevitable that she will be unable to investigate this matter. If she wants to use the empress's hand to find out the truth, she should not shoot herself in the foot."
Concubine Lu's expression eased, "Your words make sense, go and check first before you speak."
Yun Shang nodded, turned around and left.
Concubine Lu leaned against the back of the chair with a gloomy expression. If Song Yunzhao wanted to use her, she would have to ask for some benefits. If she could really find out the real culprit behind the scenes, she might be able to ask for credit in front of His Majesty. At that time, the title might be returned.
Thinking of this, Concubine Lu's complexion looks much better.
Although you can’t definitely get it back, if you don’t do it, you definitely won’t get it back.
Just thinking about the faces of Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Wan these days, she is so depressed that she wants to vomit blood.
She shouldn't have been too impulsive in the first place, but now it's too late to regret it, so she can only make up for it in other ways.
Song Yunzhao came out of Cuiwei Palace, and could hear talking and laughing from the Imperial Garden from a distance, and immediately remembered the matter of flower arrangement, the speed of her feet immediately accelerated, running in the opposite direction of Xiyu Garden, passing Changle Palace and walking directly towards Wangyou Palace.
Passing through Changle Palace, after a short walk, Concubine Chu’s Yaohua Palace is now vacant. To the south of Yaohua Palace is Concubine Wan’s Roufu Palace. Song Yunzhao didn’t want to have any intersection with Roufu Palace, so he walked along the road to Yaohua Palace.
When she passed Yaohua Palace, she turned her head and looked far away. Concubine Chu used to live here. The ancients paid attention to the east, so Concubine Chu lived in Yaohua Palace. Among the three concubines, Concubine Lu lived in Cuiwei Palace, which was on the same line as Yaohua Palace.
Thinking of Concubine Chu, one can’t help but think of Dingnanbo’s Mansion. Dingnanbo’s Mansion helped Song Qinghan lead Wu Xinhou’s mansion into this marriage. There must be some conspiracy. The Cai mother and daughter don’t know what to think, and they are willing to swallow such a poisonous fruit.
Mrs. Nan Bo, Song Yunzhao has no impression of her as an aunt. If she insists on saying it, she is an exquisite egoist.
Walking and walking, she arrived at the imperial garden on the east side. After a few steps, she stopped and looked up at the person opposite.
Lu Zhixue: …
She looked a little stiff, but she still stepped forward to salute, "My concubine has seen Song Jieyu."
Song Yunzhao looked at Lu Zhixue's expression, and thought in his heart how painful the real slap was. From Lu Zhixue's expression at this moment, he could see clearly that he could even bend over her now.
She didn't mean to embarrass the other party, "No need to be polite, Concubine Lu, get up."
Lu Zhixue thought that Song Yunzhao would have to verbally tease her a few words, but she didn't know that she didn't. While slightly relieved, her mood was also a little complicated.
"Is Song Jieyu out to visit the garden?"
Song Yunzhao was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Lu Zhixue would take the initiative to chat with her. It was the sun rising from the west.
"Not really." Song Yunzhao replied.
Lu Zhixue looked confused, what does it mean?
Yes it is, no it is not.
Song Yunzhao changed his mind, and said to Lu Zhixue: "Did Concubine Lu enjoy her breakfast today?"
Lu Zhixue didn't know what Song Yunzhao meant, so she nodded, "It's the same as usual." At this point, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, "Could it be that Song Jieyu didn't use it well?"
Song Yunzhao sighed slightly, "Yes."
Lu Zhixue was astonished, who in the imperial dining room dared to provoke her?
She kicked down the iron plate one after another on Song Yunzhao. Just thinking about facing her, she felt headache, foot pain and body pain.
Seeing Lu Zhixue's expression, Song Yunzhao was satisfied, "I'll take a step first, so I won't disturb Concubine Lu to enjoy the scenery."
Lu Zhixue looked at Song Yunzhao's back, and said to the people around him, "Go and find out what's going on."
The thing about Dianthus making a big noise in the imperial dining room was not covered up, Yuxiu found out the whole story after a little inquiring, so she went back and explained it carefully.
Lu Zhixue let out a "tsk", this is really a long life for the birthday man who hanged himself, and Song Yunzhao's pin-nosed mind will definitely not let it go.
Check again.
It is not a secret that Song Yunzhao went to see Concubine Lu. Many people in the palace have seen it along the way, and they found out as soon as they asked.
Lu Zhixue didn't understand, what was Song Yunzhao going to do with Concubine Lu about the matter in the imperial dining room?
Could it be that Concubine Lu did something?
Looking at Song Yunzhao's expression at that time, it didn't look like he was fighting Concubine Lu for 300 rounds. What's going on?
Lu Zhixue couldn't figure out the truth and felt itchy, so she went to find Feng Yunjin. Feng Yunjin was smarter than her, so he should be able to guess a little bit.
Feng Yunjin was not in Yanqing Palace, Lu Zhixue waited for her for a while before seeing someone. '
"Why didn't you send a message before you came, I wouldn't go out when I knew you were here." Feng Yunjin smiled and said to Lu Zhixue, Lu Zhixue was of a higher rank than her, Feng Yunjin saluted first, and then stood up and sat down.
Looking at Feng Yunjin, Lu Zhixue asked directly, "Do you know what happened this morning?"
"What's the matter?" Feng Yunjin asked hesitantly, "I had eaten breakfast and Chen Guiji invited me to go to the Imperial Garden to help pick flowers, and I have been busy until now."
Lu Zhixue heard that Feng Yunjin didn't know yet, so she immediately explained the matter carefully, "What do you think Song Jieyu went to see Concubine Lu for? Concubine Lu's title was dropped by her, yet she dared to come to the door. She looked good at the time, and Concubine Lu probably didn't make things difficult for her. This is really curious."
Feng Yunjin was very surprised. He didn't expect such a thing to happen this morning. After thinking about it, he said: "The imperial dining room will definitely not do such a thing without a reason. There must be a reason we don't know."
Lu Zhixue looked unhappy and said: "You said that someone can reach into the imperial dining room. Is our food safe? Wouldn't it be easy for someone to do something?"
Feng Yunjin couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this, "You think the steward of the imperial dining room is a fool, but if something happens, he will be the first to die, and being able to be a steward cannot be bought with a little profit."
Lu Zhixue nodded, "You're right, otherwise I wouldn't dare to eat the food from the Imperial Dining Room. But what happened today, in your opinion, must be that the person who owns the Imperial Dining Room was bought?"
"It's not easy to be sure directly, but people from Wangyou Palace go to the Imperial Dining Room to question, and it shouldn't be wrong."
"Who would do it? Song Jieyu went to find Concubine Lu, do you think it could be her?"
Feng Yunjin shook her head, "You can't speak nonsense without evidence."
Lu Zhixue knew that Feng Yunjin's temperament was like this, so she thought about it and said, "Since she found Concubine Lu, she must have something to do with Concubine Lu, but I don't know how deeply Concubine Lu got involved."
Feng Yunjin agrees with this point, Song Jieyu is not a messy person, since she directly approached Concubine Lu, Concubine Lu must be involved.
"Since Song Jieyu has already dealt with this matter, let's not get involved. I see that this matter will definitely not end here, so you should be more careful." Feng Yunjin said, Lu Zhixue was easily impulsive when she met Song Jieyu, so she had to mention one or two points.
"I'm not stupid." Lu Zhixue stood up and said, "Go do your work, I'll go back too."
Feng Yunjin sent her out, and then went back after watching her go far away.
What happened in the imperial dining room was not intentionally covered up, and Song Yunzhao spread the news again. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, the matter spread throughout the harem, and the speed was so fast that it really did not disappoint her expectation at all.
Isn't someone targeting her?
She just wants to put the matter on the bright side, and let people know that the imperial dining room may not be safe, so everyone must be careful.
This matter was reported to the imperial dining room, but the manager of the imperial dining room was furious. He knew that Song Jieyu was not a good person, but he didn't expect it to be so wretched.
Now it’s all right, put the imperial dining room on the fire, he is really not a human being inside and out.
Not to mention the torment of the steward of the imperial dining room, Song Yunzhao dressed up and prepared for the dinner in Wangyou Palace, and specially chose a concubine red palace dress, tied with a silk belt, showing her slender waist at a glance.
Song Yunzhao looked in the mirror, thinking that Concubine Lu probably had a wonderful expression when she saw her waist.
Noble hairpins and jade temples, beautiful women, red lips, unparalleled beauty.
Song Yunzhao was very satisfied, this time he did not wait for the emperor to go to Qinghua Hall together, but passed half an hour earlier.
Tsinghua Hall was once born and secondly familiar. Before Song Yunzhao entered the hall, he heard the laughter in the hall. It should be that the people in the harem were arranging flowers.
Following the chorus of the palace people, Song Yunzhao entered the hall, and the other concubines immediately came forward to salute.
Song Yunzhao saw that everyone was there except the third concubine, it was really lively.
"You don't need to be polite, everyone, get up." Song Yunzhao entered the hall with a smile, ignoring other people's eyes on her, and sat down in his own seat.
Looking at Song Jieyu's posture, everyone thought she was coming to make fun of her, but they actually hid away.
Perhaps Song Yunzhao's move was too obvious, and the smiles on the faces of the others couldn't hold back.
Song Yunzhao glanced at everyone, and said slowly, "You are busy with your work. I don't know anything about flower arrangement, so I won't help."
Everyone looked at each other, and their eyes finally fell on Qin Xiyue and Chen Guiji. One of these two was the one who first arranged the flower arrangement, and the other was the one who helped Chen Guiji yell. Naturally, they were the main ones.
Chen Guiji also took a look at Qin Guibin, and for a while didn't know how to speak, she felt embarrassed towards Song Jieyu.
Qin Xiyue and Chen Guiji looked at each other, and said with a smile: "Everyone listen to Jieyu and do what you should do. Naturally, Jieyu won't blame everyone for being rude."
After hearing the rumors, the crowd dispersed in twos and threes. An Fangyi returned to her seat with a blank expression and sat down, obviously not intending to arrange flowers with everyone.
An Fangyi's seat was opposite Song Yunzhao, and the two of them were separated by the aisle, so they didn't intend to talk.
Song Yunzhao has always remembered how An Fangyi made things difficult for Zhen Meiren when she first entered the palace. She had long suspected that An Fangyi had something to do with Qin Xiyue. Although there was no evidence, it was impossible for her to strike up a conversation with the other party.
Han Jinyi sat beside Song Yunzhao, and said softly: "You are here, and I will be relieved once you come. I have already said that I will not be with them, but I still insist on letting me get involved."
Song Yunzhao knew that there was Qin Xiyue, a noble concubine, and Han Jinyi was inferior to her, so naturally he couldn't fight her hard, "If I had known this, I would have asked you to come with me."
"That's not true." Han Jinyi muttered, "Next time something like this happens again, I'll avoid it. You see, these people have picked so many flowers, and I don't know if the imperial garden has been bald."
Song Yunzhao was almost amused, "It doesn't matter if you are bald, the gardener will definitely replace it with a new one."
Han Jinyi was right when he thought about it, and sighed softly: "I don't know how much money was spent."
Song Yunzhao nodded slightly, "Yes."
It’s like her Wangyou Palace has to pick flowers and put them in vases every day. There are so many concubines in the palace, and there are not a few flowers that are needed, so it is impossible for the flowers in the garden to be bald and still there. They have to be replaced.
This kind of thing is not written in the book, but when you travel to the book world, many rules will naturally appear. No matter how prodigal and wasteful it is, Song Yunzhao can't comment on it. The dignity of the royal family is reflected in all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation, and this is just a corner of it.
After saying a few words, she saw Lu Zhixue walking towards her, and Han Jinyi looked at her in surprise.
Lu Zhixue pretended not to see Han Jinyi's expression, bowed to Song Yunzhao, sat aside, and said, "I'm also here to enjoy Song Jieyu's glory, so I won't be troubled if someone invites me over to have fun."
Song Yunzhao:…
Has she become a refuge here?
"If Concubine Lu is unwilling, just refuse." Song Yunzhao looked at her and said, "With your temperament, can't you do this?"
Lu Zhixue's face froze, "I said it, but some people just don't understand, what can I do?"
Understood, it is really not easy to tear off after being stained with dog skin plaster.
Thinking of Song Yunzhao in this way makes him happy.
Lu Zhixue: …
what's so funny?
Oh, she knew that Song Yunzhao just wanted to see her jokes.
Lu Zhixue sat here with a straight face, Han Jinyi was confused, why are you sitting here if you are unhappy?
Song Yunzhao didn't know what to say, Lu Zhixue didn't like her everywhere, and now she came to join her, what kind of operation is this?
The three of them looked weird, but on the other side they were lively and festive.
When Qin Xiyue saw Lu Zhixue sitting next to Song Yunzhao from a distance, the expression on her face was suppressed so as not to show any dissatisfaction, but she was a little angry in her heart, and Lu Zhixue really didn't know what to say.
I don't know what the Lu family told her, don't they know that suppressing Song Yunzhao is the most important thing now?
She is still sitting with Song Yunzhao now, and it looks like they are friends. Is this what the Lu family meant? After all, Lu Zhixue was really dissatisfied with Song Yunzhao before.
"Concubine Qin Gui, where are these arranged flowers placed?" Chen Guiji asked cautiously.
Everyone started working together, and the inserted flowers were quickly placed in more than a dozen bottles, and it was obviously impossible to pile them up here.
Qin Xiyue looked at Chen Guiji when she heard the words, smiled and said, "I don't have any good ideas right now, what do you guys think?"
Standing behind the crowd, Zhen Meiren didn't intend to speak at all. Dong Guiren was beside her. Dong Guiren rolled his eyes, glanced at Zhen Meiren, and swallowed what he wanted to say.
Her eyes caught sight of Feng Xiaoyuan, and she couldn't help but light up, and she said, "Feng Xiaoyuan has always been smart, and I think she can have a good idea."
Feng Yunjin sensed that everyone's eyes were on her, and said calmly, "Mr. Dong Gui really likes to joke. I don't know what to do. I don't understand flower arrangement, so I won't give you random ideas, lest the flowers you have worked so hard to arrange will be buried. However, Mr. Dong is so fond of flower arrangement, I think I must have a unique opinion, so I might as well tell you."
Dong Guiren's face was slightly stiff, but he didn't want to let go of this opportunity, so he calmed down and said, "I don't have any good ideas, but there are too many flowers here, so it's better to scatter them in the hall to add a scene to everyone."
With so many concubines, if a bottle is placed on each person's food table, the flowers will be separated. If anyone's flowers can be placed on the emperor's food table, it may be able to catch the eyes of His Majesty.
The 6,000-word update is complete, my little cuties.
