Chapter 379 380: Who can always be a flower
Meng Jiuchang left Beijing overnight with the letter, and Song Yunzhao couldn't sleep all night.
The atmosphere in Shouci Palace was also gloomy, and the Empress Dowager looked gloomy. I didn't expect An Shutong to be so useless. He was thrown back by the emperor halfway, completely humiliated.
Qin Xiyue sat in her own hall, looking at An Shutong's bedroom, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth.
I thought the Empress Dowager and An Shutong were so powerful, but now it looks like this. It was useless to mock her at the beginning, wouldn't it be the same if they were themselves?
Concubine Shu was busy with the palace affairs, so she didn't care about An Xiaoyi's affairs. Anyway, she wasn't the one who lost face, so she just treated it as a joke.
The new concubines Du Wanning and Qin Xiaoyin have a good relationship. One of them lives in Feng Yunjin's Yanqing Palace, and the other lives in Lu Zhixue's Yihua Palace. These two masters have a good relationship with Ming Concubine. The palace people of the two palaces are also very respectful to Yaohua Palace, and they are even more cautious in their daily work, and they dare not show any dissatisfaction with Yaohua Palace.
Du Wanning invited Qin Xiaoyin to drink tea together. Feng Xiaoyuan's temper is softer and gentler than Concubine Lu's, so Qin Xiaoyin mostly goes to Du Wanning's side.
As soon as Qin Xiaoyin saw Du Wanning, she hurriedly said, "Have you heard what happened yesterday?"
Du Wanning nodded, "You sit down first, and we can talk after drinking some tea."
Qin Xiaoyin couldn't care less about drinking tea, her face was full of sadness, she thought that she would have a chance to soar into the sky after entering the palace, and she could become the second concubine Ming.
How do I know...
Dreams and wishful thinking are worlds apart.
After entering the palace, before she could show her talents, Concubine Ming packed them up and sent them to the palace to escape the summer heat. She didn't see the emperor for two months, and finally returned to the palace. She thought she would finally have a chance, but the emperor wanted to go on a north tour.
He also thought about how the imperial concubine on the northern tour would not be able to accompany the eldest prince, and wondered if she could get on this train, but was cut off by the Shouci Palace.
Why is her life so hard, Kong has a flowery face, but in the end there is no chance to face you.
Qin Xiaoyin gloated in his eyes, "An Xiaoyi was so beautiful when she was driving, how embarrassing it is to be sent back this time."
Du Wanning frowned slightly when she heard these words, "You can just talk about these things with me, don't spread them out and get caught."
Qin Xiaoyin didn't care when he heard the words, and said: "What are you afraid of, whoever has us in their eyes now will care."
Du Wanning shook her head, "There is always nothing wrong with being cautious."
There are cannibals in this palace.
An Xiaoyi was sent back to the palace halfway. Du Wanning felt that she must have something to do with Concubine Ming, but she just had a feeling and there was no evidence, so she didn't say a word in front of Qin Xiaoyin.
However, the two have a good relationship, so she would like to mention a few words.
Qin Xiaoyin sighed, "It's a pity that I have such a face, if I knew it earlier..."
If she had known that she would not be able to see the emperor in the palace, she might as well not have participated in the election for marriage. With her appearance and family background, she could always find someone she liked.
After sighing a few words casually, Qin Xiaoyin immediately changed the subject, "I heard that the Shouci Palace was very lively this morning. The Empress Dowager may feel sorry for An Xiaoyi right now."
"What's the use of having a niece, isn't it just like us..." Speaking of this point, "At any rate, she can still drive with her, even if she is sent back, she is still someone who got out. If I can be lucky this time Congratulations, it will be different from now on.”
Du Wanning knew what Qin Xiaoyin meant, she looked up at Qin Xiaoyin, "The people around me went to the Clothes Bureau this morning, and I heard that after An Xiaoyi drove out of the palace, there was no chance to see Shengjia on the way. The emperor rode forward , the speed of the carriage was too slow, so it was sent back to the palace."
"Really?" Qin Xiaoyin was stunned, her voice was a little split, even with such an expression on her face, it was still very beautiful.
"Who knows if it's true or not, it's groundless, and it may not be without reason."
"What you're saying is that such news must be someone who knows the inside story." Qin Xiaoyin thought and said, "Director Meng also went to Yaohua Palace... Tell me, could it be from Yaohua Palace? The news that came out?"
Du Wanning didn't dare to say if it was true. She had heard a lot about Concubine Ming before she entered the palace. Originally, her draft was just a formality, but who knew she would stay in the end.
This unscrupulous empress has a great reputation inside and outside the palace, and she doesn't want to provoke her at all.
Didn’t see that Concubine Shu and Concubine Wan are protecting her now, and Concubine Zhuang and now Wang Zhaorong obey her, but she knows that the downfall of the Wang family has a lot to do with Concubine Ming.
Du Wanning thought that she didn't have the skills to compete with Concubine Ming, so she lay flat after entering the palace.
"Yaohua Palace has always paid attention to evidence when doing things. If you don't have evidence, don't speak easily. If people from Yaohua Palace hear it, they will definitely tell you right and wrong." Du Wanning reminded.
Qin Xiaoyin pursed her lips, she was a little unconvinced, no one had a fairy face yet, but thinking about Concubine Ming's temperament, she shrank her head again.
In the end, I was still a little bit uneasy, "If a flower doesn't have a hundred-day red flower, who can be a flower all the time."
Du Wanning:…
Qin Xiaoyin didn't notice Du Wanning's expression, and continued: "I don't know when the emperor will be able to return to the palace on the northern tour."
She practiced a dance in private, thinking that she could show off her skills at the palace banquet to please the emperor.
Du Wanning looked at the expectation in Qin Xiaoyin's eyes, she shook her head, "I don't know, I think I won't be able to come back for a while."
Qin Xiaoyin sighed, her life, why is it so hard.
Song Yunzhao didn't know that she was being slandered that she would soon be a thing of the past. She was looking at the account book Ling Yunhe sent in, which carefully recorded the sales of Ling's shops.
Song Yunzhao doesn't have many people at hand now, and she can't send accountants to every shop to keep an eye on the accounts, but she doesn't feel at ease throwing all the things to the Ling family, so she simply thought of a trouble-free way to do wholesale.
That is, she gave the Ling family the same price for the goods from Baozhuang Building and Baozhu Building, and she didn't care what price the Ling family sold in her shop.
Because she doesn't have so many accounting rooms available, a strong dragon doesn't overwhelm local snakes, and as a concubine in a deep palace, she can't control the shops far to the south, so it's better to separate the interests directly from the source.
The Ling family is naturally willing, but Ling Yunhe feels that this is not a good way to do things. If Concubine Ming cooperates with the Ling family in this way, then the Ling family will be kicked out to cooperate with other families in the future.
But the Ling family was very happy, and felt that it would be more beneficial. Ling Yunhe was alone, so the matter was settled like this.
However, Ling Yunhe stayed in Beijing to discuss these matters with Ming Concubine, and he did all the procedures very sincerely, trying to leave a good impression on Ming Concubine.
After flipping through the account books, Song Yunzhao was thoughtful, and then opened the account books that had been put aside before. After a closer look, his eyes narrowed.
The second update is over, my little cuties.
