Chapter 60 061: This is not the end
The day when the decree was received was a sunny day, and the person who came to read the decree to Song Yunzhao was an acquaintance, Zhang Maoquan.
At the same time, Xu Sixi, who was with Zhang Maoquan, went to Huayang Palace. The status of these two people in the imperial court was second only to Meng Jiuchang.
Song Yunzhao didn't quite remember those gorgeous four or six parallel sentences in the imperial decree, and he didn't remember how the emperor praised her in a formulaic way such as Hui Zhi Lan Xin and other inappropriate compliments, so her eyes fell on the small seal of your concubine.
This seal is not big, but it is full of weight. It is the cornerstone of her first step after entering the palace, and it is the proof of her official title.
Zhang Maoquan rolled up the imperial decree, and then stepped forward and handed it to Song Yunzhao who got up, "Congratulations to Concubine Song Gui."
"Thank you, Manager Zhang." Song Yunzhao smiled all over his face, and glanced sideways at Xiangxue.
Xiangxue immediately took out the purse she had prepared, stepped forward and stuffed it into Zhang Maoquan's hands, "I'm sorry Manager Zhang will come here to drink tea for you, please don't refuse."
Zhang Maoquan didn't refuse, but thanked him again, and this will last only if there is a reciprocity. After he accepted the money, Concubine Song Gui could deal with him with peace of mind, and he became familiar with those who came and went.
Besides, this kind of bounty can be taken by anyone in the palace, so it’s a celebration.
"Thank you, Concubine Gui." Zhang Maoquan saluted with a smile.
"Anshun, send Manager Zhang out." Song Yunzhao let Anshun in and said with a smile.
Zhang Maoquan was stunned for a moment, thinking that Concubine Song Gui would have to ask about the servants, but he didn't ask a single word. Concubine Song didn't ask, and he couldn't take the initiative to bring it up, so he left and left, and he had to continue delivering the decree.
As soon as Zhang Maoquan left, Song Yunzhao took out silver coins to reward Wangyou Palace, and the whole Wangyou Palace was filled with joyful atmosphere.
Nurse Yu was also happy and let Xiangxue and the others go to work on her own affairs, so she had time to say: "Master, do you want slaves to inquire about tonight..."
Song Yunzhao shook his head and interrupted Mammy Yu, "Mammy, I don't need to do such eye-catching things, I know it."
The emperor is such a dog, how can he put on the posture of pampering the harem after the imperial decree, and he still has the airs of a Mingjun.
Anyway, in the book, after the emperor canonized the new concubine, he didn't enter the harem for a full half a month, so it's not enough to make a joke out of it.
Thinking of this, Song Yunzhao rolled his eyes and said to Nanny Yu: "We don't do anything, but we can't hinder others from doing anything."
Nurse Yu is also smart, she immediately understood what the master said, and knew that the master was setting a hook for someone, she said with a smile: "The old slave went out for a walk, just to see the excitement."·
"Go." Song Yunzhao waved his hand, she turned around and went to the small study, half a month was enough for her to finish writing the script. After thinking about this, she stopped Nanny Yu, "Mommy, ask me when I can see my family."
Nanny Yu responded with a smile, and then turned around and left.
The study room is very different from when she first lived in it. The flowers on the window sill are replaced every day, and the three-legged white jade incense burner is emitting green smoke. On the desk is a book of words that she has not finished writing, and the table is spread out.
Next to the large white porcelain vat, there are a few volumes of her idle graffiti, which are not elegant, but enough for self-entertainment.
The harem is very lively today, the canonization decree has spread to every corner of the palace, everyone is beaming, even Lu Zhixue, who has always been provocative, rarely smiles.
"Yuxiu."
"The servant is here, what is the master's order?"
"Go and inquire about the arrangements in the palace tonight." Lu Zhixue touched her face subconsciously, she knew that she was not as ostentatious as Song Yunzhao in terms of beauty, and Qin Xiyue was a bit better than her in terms of talent and name. The status of the two is also higher than her, if it is really a choice, I am afraid that His Majesty will choose one of the two first.
She is more inclined that His Majesty will choose Qin Xiyue first. After all, Qin Xiyue's family background is there, and His Majesty always wants to give Qin Taifu a face.
Qin Xiyue is one step ahead of her, she can bear it, but if Song Yunzhao is one step ahead of her, she can't swallow this breath.
Lu Zhixue took the book and wanted to read it first, but she couldn’t read it impatiently, so she got up and paced back and forth in the hall, feeling a little dissatisfied in her heart. She naturally wanted to be the first, but where her status was, it didn’t matter if Song Yunzhao’s family background was lower than hers.
Recalling that day when we dealt with Zhen Meiren, there were so many people present, why did His Majesty only ask Song Yunzhao, isn't it because she is your concubine?
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, the uglier Lu Zhixue's face became.
Yuxiu came back after a while, and when she came in, seeing her master looking worried, she said softly, "Master, this servant didn't find out about the Taiji Palace, but I saw Nanny Yu from Wangyou Palace walking around the palace, looking furtive."
Lu Zhixue sneered, "I knew Song Yunzhao was not a law-abiding person."
Yuxiu thought about it and said: "Master, why don't the servants also go out for a walk?"
Lu Zhixue hesitated for a moment, thinking that if Song Yunzhao could do it, why couldn't she? It is also enough to inquire about the news of the various palaces, so he nodded, "Be careful."
Yuxiu smiled and said: "I heard that Mulan, who is in front of Concubine Fan, is good at playing ties, so I just went to ask for advice."
Lu Zhixue's Yihua Palace and Fan Qingru's Qingyun Palace are just at the east and west ends of the palace, just like Song Yunzhao's Wangyou Palace and Qin Xiyue's Huayang Palace.
Yuxiu went out from Yihua Palace and turned back from Qingyun Palace, just enough to turn around the palace.
Lu Zhixue happily let Yuxiu go, she waited for the news impatiently.
After Nanny Yu made a high-profile turn around, she stopped slightly at the intersection leading to Taiji Palace, and then turned her head back to Wangyou Palace.
Yuxiu went to find Mulan, but she didn’t just see Mulan. On the way, she met the maids of Yaohua Palace and the gatekeepers of Cuiwei Palace.
After Yuxiu left, the servants of Cuiwei Palace reported to Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu was feeling uncomfortable, and frowned fiercely when she heard this, "Wangyou Palace can make troubles, Yunshang, go and see what's going on."
Yun Shang hurriedly responded with a smile, looked at the ugly face of the master, and said: "Master, the people in Yihua Palace said it, it may not be true, so don't be angry, even these new favorites in the palace are not as good as you with your majesty."
Concubine Shu's face turned pale, and the corners of her mouth twitched, "You're the one who talks a lot, go ahead."
"I'm going now, servant girl." Yun Shang smiled and went out.
Yun Shang is not comparable to Nanny Yu and Yuxiu. As soon as she moves here, more people pay attention immediately, and the atmosphere in the entire harem suddenly becomes strange.
The instigator, Song Yunzhao, had already washed up and was about to go to bed. Xiangxue was sitting in front of the bronze mirror and removing her hair. She looked at Nanny Yu and said with a smile, "It's all right now, everyone doesn't need to sleep peacefully."
Yu Yu is also happy, "Others are staring at the master like this, which shows that they are afraid of the master in their hearts, because they are afraid that the master will win the top spot. Besides, the servants did nothing but go out and talk to a few acquaintances. No matter who asks, they can't find fault. It's their own business if they think wrong."
Song Yunzhao is in a good mood, she just likes Mammy Yu, who just matches her perfectly.
Song Yunzhao was in a good mood and fell asleep, but don't care about the stomping and cursing of a few popular palaces tonight, what does it have to do with her.
This night, many palaces in the palace did not turn off the lights until very late. Only Wangyou Palace closed and locked early, and the lights in the palace were turned off before the third quarter of Xu hour, and the whole Wangyou Palace was plunged into darkness.
The movement in the harem naturally couldn't hide from Feng Yi's eyes. He fell silent after hearing Meng Jiuchang's words.
Song Yunzhao went to bed so early, which is really different from her temperament. He thought that with her aggressive temperament, she would have to wait a little longer tonight.
That's it?
Feng Yi felt a very strange and uncomfortable feeling.
But he couldn't tell others this kind of thing, he could only hold it in his heart, looked at Meng Jiuchang and said, "I'm busy with official business recently, so I'm not busy with bedtime, just pass on the word."
Meng Jiuchang was taken aback, and looked at His Majesty in surprise. For a while, he couldn't figure out what His Majesty meant, but he didn't dare to think deeply, and immediately said, "Your Majesty complies."
Feng Yi waved his hand to make people retreat, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he couldn't understand how Song Yunzhao's temper could do such a thing, he was really not like her.
Feng Yi didn't want to see Song Yunzhao being too comfortable, so he read the excerpts for a long time, and when it was time for lunch, he looked at a dried bamboo shoot and ham soup on the table and said, "This dish is for Concubine Song."
Zhang Maoquan was amused when he heard the words, his face was wrinkled, he knew, he knew that His Majesty was special to Concubine Song!
In Wangyou Palace, Song Yunzhao stared at the dish of dried bamboo shoots and ham soup, wanting to see a hole in it. Facing Zhang Maoquan's wrinkled smiling face, she had to laugh too, and gave him the reward, and then sent him away.
Song Yunzhao's role as a noble concubine is still good, with four dishes and one soup, and snacks after meals, as long as you don't think about delicacies from mountains and seas every day, the food is actually much better than when you were in Song's house.
However, this soup is not dragon liver and phoenix marrow. The emperor asked Zhang Maoquan to send it specially. What does this mean?
This is pushing her into the pit.
The emperor is a real dog.
Nurse Yu and the others looked at the unhappy look of the master, and asked cautiously: "Master, can I serve you a bowl of soup? This ham is not easy to get, it was brought here from the south."
Song Yunzhao couldn't tell Nanny Yu and others about the emperor's dark thoughts, so he had to put on a happy face... and drank a bowl of soup.
She drank this soup so much that her heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidneys were all supported.
If he wanted to make her suffer, Song Yunzhao would not do it.
After much deliberation, she said to Nanny Yu: "Take my private money to the imperial dining room, order a ginseng chicken soup, and ask Anshun to deliver it to Taiji Palace at night."
Nurse Yu was startled, "Master, is this inappropriate?"
Song Yunzhao smiled kindly, "Your Majesty cares about me so much, I am really grateful, and I can only repay one or two. Let Anshun not have to ask to see His Majesty, just pass the soup to Manager Zhang."
However, he still took the silver and went to the imperial dining room in person.
The news that the emperor rewarded Song Yunzhao soup at noon spread throughout the harem within half a day. When it was time for dinner, Wangyou Palace delivered the soup to Taiji Palace, and she actually succeeded in delivering it. The harem was shocked.
Song Yunzhao thought that the emperor was acquainted, and knew to take her soup, otherwise their relationship would be concluded.
"Master, today's events are a little too conspicuous." After Mammy Yu knew what was going on in the palace, her face was full of worry.
Song Yunzhao said without raising his head: "Mama, what's the point of being conspicuous? Your Majesty insists on giving me soup, how dare I not follow?"
Nurse Yu shook her head, of course she couldn't, isn't that against the decree?
"But, in fact, you don't need to send things to Taiji Palace anymore." Nanny Yu said after a moment of hesitation.
Song Yunzhao then looked up at Madam Yu, "Mama, if there is a relationship, it will last forever. I am just grateful for His Majesty's kindness to me, so I naturally want to reciprocate. You see, Anshun sent the soup to Tai Chi Palace, and His Majesty accepted it. Doesn't it mean that I did the right thing?"
Yu Nanny thought that it was true to say so, but the food sent to Tai Chi Palace had to go through strict inspection and inspection. If it was tampered with, it would be hard to justify it.
Nurse Yu and Song Yunzhao popularized the inside story of the palace. Of course, Song Yunzhao knew it from the book.
The emperor cherished his life very much. From the beginning to the end of the book, there is no plot where the emperor was successfully poisoned, which shows that his IQ is quite online.
"Nurse, you forgot, I asked Anshun to find Zhang Maoquan directly."
Nurse Yu was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed, "Master is thoughtful, it's because this old servant is overthinking."
"I am very grateful for Mammy's persuasion. You are doing it for my own good, and I know it in my heart. Mammy treats me like this, and I will definitely not let down your loyalty. Our master and servant will grow up in the future. Mammy will just wait and see." Since Song Yunzhao felt Mammy Yu's sincerity to her, she naturally couldn't make people's blood cold.
In a place like the palace, two fists are no match for four hands. The first thing she has to do is to cultivate her confidants.
But this confidant does not mean that he can be cultivated just because he is cultivated. He still needs to observe carefully. At least the few tasks assigned to Madam Yu are doing well, and she can put herself in her shoes, so that she cannot make people feel chilled.
Nurse Yu was stunned for a moment when she heard this. She has been in the palace for so many years and has served many people, but no master has ever said such words to her. In the eyes of the master, she is a slave and her life is worthless, but the noble concubine is different.
She felt warm in her heart, and she had an indescribable feeling. She hurriedly lowered her head and said softly: "Master, you are serious. This is what slaves should do, and I dare not take credit for it."
Song Yunzhao smiled and said nothing, and waved his hand to let Nanny Yu go down.
After Nanny Yu left, Song Yunzhao knew that his easy life might be coming to an end. Qin Xiyue and the others might still wait and see the emperor's trick for her, but Concubine Shu and the others definitely didn't like her.
Reactions in the harem to Song Yunzhao being given soup by the emperor were mixed, especially Concubine Shu's faces were extremely unsightly.
Newcomers to the palace don’t know, those who have stayed in the palace for several years know that His Majesty rewards gold, silver and silk, but rarely rewards people with food. This Song Yunzhao has only been in the palace for a long time, and he can actually let His Majesty give soup, which makes everyone feel extremely complicated.
"Dried bamboo shoots and ham soup? Does this palace value this soup? It's because His Majesty treats Concubine Song differently!" Concubine Shu was so angry that she threw her teacup to the ground, "I have been in the palace for so many years, but I have never had a cup of soup from Your Majesty. Speaking of which, when Concubine Chu was alive, His Majesty rewarded her once, just for this, and Concubine Chu still showed it off until she died!"
Concubine Shu clutched her chest angrily and was a little out of breath. When Concubine Chu was mentioned, her expression was a little unnatural.
Nurse Wen comforted softly at the side, "Mother, why should you take it to heart, a little noble concubine, it may not be a good thing for His Majesty to value her so much. It's hard to live a beautiful girl, and it's easy for your concubine Song to lose the limelight if she is too popular."
After hearing this, Concubine Shu became less angry, and said with a sneer, "Our Majesty really does whatever he wants."
Nurse Wen didn't dare to talk to His Majesty, she thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I have inquired about this Concubine Song and Concubine Chu. Do you think it is because of Her Majesty that you value her?"
Walking around, but not being able to get around Concubine Chu, Concubine Shu was annoyed when she mentioned her, frowned and said: "The Song family and Concubine Chu are just relatives, it is said that they are related, but the relationship is far away."
Said that His Majesty valued this relationship, but she would rather believe that His Majesty just liked Song Yunzhao's face.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much. The slaves have inquired about it. His Majesty is busy with court affairs recently, and he will definitely not be able to take care of the harem for a while. Even if Concubine Song Gui is in the limelight, so be it. His Majesty will not announce her as a servant, and it will be over in a few days. After a while, His Majesty may not be able to remember who Concubine Song Gui is."
Concubine Shu knew that Madam Wen’s words were to make her happy, but it felt a lot more comfortable listening to her, “You carefully watch the movements of Concubine Wan and Concubine Zhuang.” After she said this, she paused, “There is also that Concubine Qin.
With no wind and three feet of waves, she did not believe that these people could really hold back.
"Yes, Madam, don't worry, the slaves will definitely handle things properly." Nanny Wen responded with a smile.
On the other side, Meng Jiuchang brought the dental plaque of the concubine in the harem.
Feng Yi was planning to suppress the harem, so naturally he turned over the cards unintentionally, waved his hand and said, "Take it down."
Meng Jiuchang hastily responded, and sighed in his heart, now all the empresses in the harem will be disappointed, and the concubine Song Gui, who is so showy, will probably be disappointed too.
After Meng Jiuchang went down, Feng Yi wanted to read a few excerpts, but suddenly lost interest, he got up and went to the bedroom. Zhang Maoquan followed immediately when he saw it.
That old boy Meng Jiuchang didn't know whose money he took. His Majesty had already said that he would not go to the harem for the next few days, and he even brought a tooth card, bah!
"Your Majesty, this servant has someone bring you water." Zhang Maoquan said with a smile.
Feng Yi nodded casually, and leaned on the soft pillow when he entered the bedroom.
Zhang Maoquan immediately asked the little **** to bring the water in. His Majesty is a clean freak. He has to bathe and change his clothes every day. When he goes to the concubines in the harem, he has to wash once in the middle of the night. He dare not be vague about this kind of thing.
Feng Yi lay on the dragon bed after taking a bath, but he didn't feel sleepy for a while, his mind was full of the soup that Song Yunzhao sent.
Heh, he already knew that she would not take any losses.
Recalling how she behaved when she was outside the palace, she was afraid that she might see some of his intentions, so she deliberately returned a gift of soup. He asked her to stand on the wind, and she pulled herself over with her backhand.
Thinking about it this way, Feng Yi became a little unhappy. Song Yunzhao's calculation was not clever, and he clearly told him that she did it on purpose.
He was so mad!
Feng Yi turned over and sat up. No one had ever treated her so boldly.
No, this matter is not over.
Feng Yi thought of this and lay down comfortably. If he dared to plot against him, he had to let Song Yunzhao know whose territory it was.
The next day, Feng Yi went to the morning court refreshed and refreshed, and after he came down, he said to Zhang Maoquan: "Go to Wangyou Palace and let Concubine Song Gui accompany you."
Zhang Maoquan:? !
"Yes! I'm going now, servant girl!" Zhang Maoquan was going crazy with joy, and his bet was right!
Song Guibi is really amazing!
Zhang Maoquan felt that he was going to float, so he hurriedly went to Wangyou Palace to pass the decree. Unexpectedly, Wangyou Palace was quite lively and there were many people there.
Song Yunzhao was not in a good mood. Han Jinyi came to talk to her and just left. Unexpectedly, Feng Xiaoyuan arrived later with Zhu Cairen and Chen Guiji, and her place suddenly became lively.
Song Yunzhao naturally can't beat people out, so is it possible that she still has to fight the entire harem of women?
She understands the principle of combining vertical and horizontal.
But I didn't expect that Zhang Maoquan came again at this pass.
"Slaves pay respects to Song Guibi, Feng Xiaoyuan, Chen Guiji, and Zhu Cairen, and the masters are well." Zhang Maoquan stepped forward to salute.
This is the manager in front of His Majesty. Feng Xiaoyuan and others are still a little uncomfortable. Song Yunzhao is familiar with him, but there is nothing uncomfortable. He said with a smile: "Boss Zhang, get up quickly, why are you here now?"
Feng Xiaoyuan and the others listened to the familiar tone between Song Guibi and Mr. Zhang, their thoughts turned and turned for a while, and their eyes were full of thoughts.
Zhang Maoquan stood up, smiled at Concubine Song and said, "Your Majesty Concubine Xuan will accompany you."
"What?" Song Yunzhao was startled, what's the matter, is the emperor tricking her into becoming addicted?
"Master, your concubine, let's go now, I don't want to keep His Majesty waiting for a long time." Zhang Maoquan made a point with a smile.
Song Yunzhao didn't care about the slander, and squeezed out a smile, "Director Zhang, wait a moment, I'll go change my clothes."
Zhang Maoquan naturally responded, standing aside and waiting slowly.
Feng Xiaoyuan and the others were also shocked by these words, His Majesty summoned Concubine Song to accompany them? Everyone has mixed feelings in their hearts, Song Guibi has reached the sky in one step.
It was not easy for a few people to stay longer, so they got up and said goodbye and left.
After leaving Wangyou Palace, Chen Guiji looked at Feng Xiaoyuan and said, "I never thought that Your Majesty would value Concubine Song so much. In the future, Concubine Gui may be the number one among us."
Feng Xiaoyuan could hear Chen Guiji's sour tone, but she didn't want to mix it up. She smiled and said, "Concubine Song Gui is beautiful, so there is nothing surprising. I'll take a step first, and we sisters will talk later when I have time."
Feng Xiaoyuan walked away, Chen Guiji curled her lips, glanced at Zhu Cairen, and was about to say something, when she heard Zhu Cairen whispered: "Sister Guiji, I should go back, I'll treat you to tea when I have time."
Chen Guiji: …
