542：The harem is deep and the years are long
Baihuaxuan.
An Shutong is arranging flowers. There are not many other things in the palace, but there will definitely be no shortage of flowers. She has no entertainment now, so she can only find something to do for herself.
Because she is the niece of the Queen Mother, the other concubines in the harem get along well with her, but no one will really be friends with her.
She is a friendless person.
When I first entered the palace, I didn't care. The emperor's concubines were all in a competitive relationship, who could really be friends with whom.
But now seeing the harmonious relationship between the three concubines and the harmonious relationship between Feng Guibin and the three of them, she slowly felt envious.
This kind of envy was not obvious at first. She just felt that their good relationship was just an illusion to confuse the noble concubine.
But in the past few years, she has truly felt that their friendship is real.
It’s really surprising that there is such friendship in a place like the palace.
From disdain to envy, it only takes a few years.
When the master sat down and ate the ice bowl, she then said again: "Zhao Cainu went to Yixin Palace in the back again. You saw that the palace servant beside you left one behind, and the other one followed, and there was no servant beside you. He also knows where he went."
Zhao Cainu on the flower wall stared at the other side and said nothing. Mu Qing'e wants to make something by herself?
Zhao Cainu nodded slightly, "Is the Queen Mother coming to talk to you?"
Mu Qing lifted the curtain and came in. There was an ice bowl on the tray, with finely crushed ice spread underneath and dotted with various fresh fruits and preserved fruits. It made people feel comfortable just looking at it in this summer.
That's quite strange.
“I saw Grandma Yu coming over to invite someone.” Shao Yue said.
You want to live the first half of your life in such a comfortable way, but you want to have no company.
Year after year, month after month, day after day.
It means knowing and making some plans.
Zhao Ling came back in the dusk. He left the house and saw his master. When he came out, he found someone on the flower wall. You walked over with heavy steps, bent down and said loudly: "Master, I have heard something."
The eldest palace man didn't know what to do. He squeezed the flower basket tightly and hurriedly replied: "Sister Su Hua asked you to pick it. She said it was for the lord to take a bath in the evening."
Guifei is such a stupid person, if no one guesses that no one will repeat the elder mother.
The front palace is deep and the years are long.
"I know this too. Sister Su Hua asked you to pick it, so I did it." The palace man said timidly.
“There will be a banquet tomorrow, but the kitchen has to be filled with people today? He went to ask if we had people, if we could put a stove together.”
"Yes." Zhao Ling responded, and then said: "I heard that the Queen Mother wanted to hold the palace banquet under the lake, but the imperial concubine refused, and she was still angry at that time."
You go up the steps and walk along the corridor in the courtyard, and you see a palace man in light green palace clothes returning with a large flower basket, waving to you through the flower wall.
Su Hua’s voice came faintly.
The palace man hurriedly saluted and ran away with the basket.
Snacks?
"He was picking flowers? What's the use of picking so few flowers?" Zhao Cainv asked, looking at the palace man with a smile.
Let alone a noble concubine, even you would refuse.
The hand holding the copper scissors has lost its strength, and the flower branch held in the other hand is thrown carelessly under the table, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
Since I had only a weak relationship with my mother-in-law during that half year period, I thought she would trust myself. Now just watch how Mu Qing'e commits suicide.
It’s really ridiculous.
“That slave knows it.”
Zhao Cainu raised her eyes and looked at the closed door across the room. She also went back to her room and sat in the shade of a tree, fanning to enjoy the cool air.
"My maid asked the question badly, but I didn't get the right answer. Master, the imperial concubine has a few people in the palace to go to Nanxun Hall on errands tomorrow for tomorrow's palace banquet, and there are a few idlers."
You opened your eyes quickly and looked through the gap in the flower wall at Mu Qing'e, who was wearing a lavender palace dress and walking back with a sour look on her face, followed by the palace servant Su Hua following you.
The flower wall that is half as high as your body is hiding your figure lying half under the rocking chair. After a while, you hear no footsteps or faint voices.
“Master.” Mu Qing placed the ice bowl on the small table, then stepped forward to serve the master to clean his hands.
“Yes, slave, go and ask.”
A person is too noisy.
Zhao Cainu sneered, "I think it was An Shutong's idea. It's really dare to do it under the lake. Not many of us know how to swim, and we didn't delay in making preparations. Who will take care of it if something happens? "
What she once disdained is what she now can only hope to achieve.
The setting sun hung on the edge of the sky, and the sky gradually darkened. Zhao Cainu still did not move under the lounge chair.
Zhao Cainu's eyes glanced at the flowers outside the basket and laughed loudly, "The flowers are so mixed and are used for bathing. How can the fragrance be mixed together? What kind of fragrance could it be?"
Laughing at herself, not overestimating her abilities.
Before Zhao Ling left, Zhao Cainu took a few bites of the ice bowl and then put it on the table. You took a breath, stood up and continued to prune the flower branches, so that you could calm down quickly.
"Look at how scared he is, you can still eat people. Let him go back with his flowers." Shao Yuefeng waved his hand.
"Yes, Yong'an Palace has not taken over the job for a few years. The manpower in the kitchen is already light. I heard that the kitchen manager has not asked Manager Meng for instructions. Maybe he can recruit fewer people to come back as errands."
"At that time, the recruitment of people will be withdrawn? Where can we recruit people?"
"But yes, the slave girl feels strange. Why does An Shutong still give advice to the Queen Mother, even though she knows that the Queen Mother may refuse? Is it just to make the Queen Mother unhappy for nothing?"
Shao Yuefeng was not surprised to hear that sentence.
On the other hand, the Zhao family is determined to be a traitor, and Mu Qing'e is willing to just be defeated if he wants to make a comeback.
This is not what Mu Qing'e went through by herself.
When will it be the end?
Zhao Cainu opened the door and walked out. The layout of Baihuaxuan is the same as that of the palace outside the palace. There are no main halls and side halls. The house you and Mu Qing'e live in is east and west. It is eight rooms wide and separated by a flower wall. From Looking over there, you can vaguely see the opposite side.
Su Hua turned around and left in a hurry. Mu Qing'e frowned and stepped down the steps to exit her house.
The palace man was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly walked over and knelt down to salute, "I have seen Master An."
“I just want a snack, is it that difficult?”
"Tomorrow is not a palace banquet. They all need to pay more attention. They want to get together with An Shutong's people, so they should pay less attention. If nothing is right, they will come back to you immediately." Shao Yuefeng warned.
