Ruyi only looked at the teacup, and did not glance at Concubine Hui, and said lightly: "Whoever is most suspicious will ask. The golden hairpin fell into the well, and if you don't look at it, someone is in a hurry to fish it out. Why are you willing to bury it in it?"

Guiren Jia took the silk and pressed the powder on his nose and smiled and said, "Yes, what kind of thing is, I'm afraid I can't hide it. Just wait and see."

Everyone was talking, but they heard the ring of bells inside, and a cold fragrance came. Everyone knew that the queen had come out, so they hurriedly stood up and welcomed the queen out.

The queen held Su Xin's hand and walked calmly and leisurely. She felt a calm and calm spirit, which calmed down the restless mind in the hall. The queen sat down on the middle chair and ordered everyone to sit down. Fang Jing said, "Just just now, I heard all the sisters talk lively, and one and a half fell into my ears. What a good thing, what's so interesting to you sisters?"

Everyone looked at each other. After all, Concubine Jia couldn't help but speak first: "I was just telling a joke, saying that the emperor did not turn over the sign last night, but Fengluan Chunen's car was walking on the long street. I don't know why."

The queen smiled faintly, and the smile seemed like the sunlight on the snow field. It was blocked by Ninghan Snow Light in a slight flash and it was blocked from the heat: "What's the reason? It's just a blessing for our sisters, and there is another sister to be your company."

"Are there any more sisters?" Guiren Jia suppressed his surprise and forced a smile, "The queen means..."

"After the cold, I told you not to come so early to pay my respects, so you don't know anything. Before you came, the emperor had already asked the Jingshifang to pass on the oral order, and the Bai family of the Southern Palace agreed to the letter. I had also transferred Yonghe Palace to her to live there."

Concubine Hui clenched the silk in her hand and couldn't help but shout: "Nan Mansion? That's not--"

Although Ruyi was extremely surprised, she held back and looked at each other with Hailan, thinking secretly, no wonder such a heavy fragrance of incense is indeed such a jade man.

The queen was calm and raised her eyelids and looked at Concubine Hui: "Realistically speaking, Concubine should have seen it. I heard that it was a musician who played the pipa."

Concubine Hui had a slightly locked brow and focused her mind to go. Among the musical musicians I saw yesterday, there was only one of them with the most beautiful eyebrows. After thinking about it, there was no one else. She gritted her teeth and said with a gritted head, "There is a phoenix-necked pipa. The emperor still thinks they played the poorly..."

Chunpin sighed with a sigh of relief and said, "What's the point of playing the pipa well or not, it's just that the emperor likes it."

It was fine if someone else heard this sentence, but it fell into Xiyue's ears. Although the person who said it was unintentional, it was as if he was heart-wrenching. He couldn't help but bleeding from his throat. She grabbed a kumquat until she felt the cool juice dyed in her hands wet, and realized that she had lost her composure and hurriedly took a sip of tea to cover it up.

The nobleman Jia raised his eyebrows and felt a little angry: "What is the identity of the musician of the Southern Palace? It is worse than a palace maid. The palace maid has to be promoted one step at a time. Start with the nameless official woman, and she agreed overnight."

The queen said kindly: "Although the musicians are not as good as the palace maids, they are much better than the lowly slaves of Xinzheku. Didn't Kangxi's good concubine also come from Xinzheku? She still gave birth to a prince and was honored for her whole life. Because the musicians are not palace maids, the emperor was particularly kind to reward them, and it was not considered a violation of the rules."

The Concubine Jia's eyebrows were slightly bent and dusted up the silk paper with disgust: "What kind of low status is the musician? Here we are on an equal footing with us. Should we talk to us about which actor in the South Mansion is interesting, or is it the most attractive thing she wears with musician clothes to play the pipa? We already have a Haichang who usually talks about silk embroidery, and now it's a better one."

When Hailan heard about her, she was depressed and did not dare to speak. The queen's face sank, with a bit of solemnity of autumn wind and leaves: "Okay!"

Guiren Jia was shocked and did not dare to say more. The queen calmed down and said, "No matter what, Mei promised to be the first newcomer to the emperor after ascending the throne. The emperor should like it, and no one would have many gossips. I only have one sentence in this palace, and the six palaces can only be harmonious and prosperous. Whoever wants to be jealous and plot against each other will be unable to tolerate her!"

Everyone agreed. The atmosphere became dull for a moment, but Chunpin said boldly: "Empress, I have a heartless request, it's really..."

The queen said gently: "What's wrong, but it's okay to say it."

Chunpin hesitated for a moment and said, "Empress, the wind blew all night last night. I heard it was very scared. My third prince is still in her infancy, always afraid of cold and cold. I am worried about it and want to ask the Queen to allow me to allow me to go to the Prince's Place today to spend more time with the Third Prince."

The queen did not say anything for a moment, just took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "It's fifteenth today, you can go and see the third prince. The rules of the ancestors are enough to make the relationship between you mother and son in half an hour."

Concubine Hui smiled and said, "No? Except for the Empress, the concubines in the harem can visit the prince's place on the first and fifteenth day of every month, but it is not allowed to pass half an hour. The Empress often visits several princes and princesses, and I have also been there once. The third prince is better at taking care of the second prince and the third princess of the empress. Even so, the Empress also told the Third Prince that he was young and delicate, and he should be careful in everything. With the Empress so favored by Chunpeng, what else are you not going to have to do with your third prince? Will you stay with him for a while and you won't know if your third prince is cold in winter?"

Chunpin was speechless by her words, and only lowered her eyes in dismay.

The queen smiled and said, "Okay. You know that your son is concerned about. It's just the matter of the prince, don't worry. If you become a diary like this, how can you serve the emperor well?"

Concubine Hui was at the end and was about to leave. Seeing the queen nodding slightly to her, she still sat there, peeling only kumquats to eat.

When everyone had dispersed, the queen sighed and rubbed her temples: "There is a good mint paste in the warmer hall, so you can rub it for me."

Concubine Hui agreed to follow the queen into the warm pavilion. Su Xin took out a dark patterned beauty and put it on the table like a small porcelain bowl, and then quietly retreated. Concubine Hui understood and opened it and smelled it. It smelled the mint smell of coolness, just like the frost and snow, and immediately woke up a lot. She dipped her ring finger and gently rubbed the queen, whispering: "It's not that I'm a little bitch. The emperor has taken such a person, it's really..."

The queen sighed softly: "It's fine to have a low status, as long as you have a gentle temperament, you always have a good background. But you don't know her origin..."

Concubine Hui became more and more surprised: "What is the origin?"

The queen seemed to have an infinite headache and said, "I only thought that the emperor had a concubine, and I didn't think much about it. Unexpectedly, after asking Zhao Yitai to go to the southern palace to ask the details, I realized that Bai was actually related to her."

Concubine Hui was shocked: "The Empress means... Concubine Xian!" The more she thought about it, the more she became, and she said hatefully, "Sure enough! I thought the emperor didn't go to her place, so she became peaceful. It turned out that she was not interested in competing for favor and showing off, but she arranged someone in secret to come in. It was really sinister!"

The queen dipped her fingers into some mint paste and sniffed it under her nose for a while, and then she felt that her whole body was much more peaceful: "It's not that she was vicious, but that we thought we were carefree all day long, but we were careless. If we were not careful, we would come out and agree. It would be fine if she was a good person..."

Concubine Hui said with gritted teeth: "How many good ones can come from the southern palace? They are all charming and frivolous. I just remembered that yesterday, I felt that their pipa skills were not good, so I said casually, and one of them was brave enough to answer my words in front of the emperor. One or two of them were so bold, what good could they have?"

The queen took a deep breath and said in surprise: "It would be really not a peace of mind if you dare to do this in front of you." She said quietly, "I am concerned about the many things in the harem, and there are always things I can't take care of. You are the imperial concubine, and you are above everyone else. If you don't look at me and be alert, you won't know when our sisters are plotted against me! Concubine Xian has been unpopular recently, but she is only nineteen years old and has a long time to come..."

Concubine Hui was slightly lost and her hands pressed on her temples didn't feel relaxed: "I am already twenty-five..."

The queen's hand gently placed on Concubine Hui's slender white hand and said softly: "You are twenty-five, and I am already twenty-five." She sternly said, and then she said in a deep voice, "So what about twenty-five? As long as we have a long-term vision and are considerate in everything, one person's eyes are not enough, and the other person helps, there will always be no place to care about it, and we cannot tolerate the charming and favor. When the Japanese Palace allocated the palace, I specially placed Hailan in your palace. Do you know why?"

When Concubine Hui heard the queen's tone calm, she felt a little comforted, and hurriedly said, "When she was in the residence, except for Chen, Xian, and Jia Guiren, the rest of the people were not favored. The Empress put Hailan in Chen Guimen's palace to prevent her from secretly charming the emperor one day. Don't worry, the Empress, the Emperor, don't even remember who she is."

The queen's eyes turned slightly on her face. Seeing that she was just a sure thing, she shook her head unconsciously and said, "Although this is one of the reasons, it is not the most important thing. Hailan has never been favored, so for the emperor, she is not only a person she can't remember, but also a new person. It's good to be careful of her, but what you need to be more careful about is the closeness of Concubine Xian and Hailan."

Concubine Hui immediately understood: "The Empress means that Hailan will also become the second Mei to agree."

The queen said quietly: "That may not be necessary. But everything must be more careful. You should pay attention to the people in your own palace."

The Yanxi Palace is not quiet here. Ruyi is standing in the corridor and watching the charcoal fire used in winter brought from the Interior Office. The little eunuch Baocheng led a few people to count them and said back and forth: "Empress, I've counted them all, 1,200 kilograms of black charcoal and 300 kilograms of red charcoal, all of which are outside."

Ruyi nodded and asked, "How about Haichang there?"

Bao Cheng said: "According to the position of being always there, there is no red charcoal, only 20 kilograms of black charcoal per day. But the slave just came to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I heard..."

Ruyi frowned: "Don't hesitate to speak, what do you hear..."

Baocheng was so scared that he stuck out his tongue and said hurriedly: "I heard that Haichang always said that black charcoal was not enough in the palace, but that case was settled, so how could there be more? I'm afraid Haichang was suffering from the cold."

A Ruo picked up the hand stove on the cage for Ruyi, carefully put a purple velvet furnace cover before delivering it to Ruyi's hand, and said softly: "It's very windy outside, and the little master was carefully blown by the wind and turned around and caught the wind and cold."

Ruyi smiled and said, "I'm always so bored in the house. I'm not afraid of being away from the wind here."

A Ruo said again: "Hai Changzai has always been honest when he heard Baocheng say this. If he hadn't been so cold that he couldn't stand it, he wouldn't have asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs again. I just don't know that there were only two people in the palace, so why wouldn't it be enough?"

Ruyi sighed and said, "This is her difficulty. Last night, she and I recited scriptures and prayed in Baohua Hall, and then we felt that her hand stove was warm, but it was not hot. I thought Ye Xin and Xiangyun, who were serving her, were not careful. Who knew that her eyes were red, and she said that the charcoal was not enough for her. Her house was cold in the west, and it was barely enough to burn a brazier on weekdays, so I could not even care about the hand stove. Only then did I realize that her life was so sad."

A Ruo put on a dark purple palace outfit on her body and comforted her: "This is not a fault for the little master. The concubine has always been incompatible with the little master, so the little master naturally cannot go to her Xianfu Palace to see the sea always there, otherwise how could she not care about it? To be honest, it was because the concubine was too careless and let the people in her palace suffer."

Ruyi felt sad and said angrily: "It is said that Hailan only has two girls and two eunuchs, so things are certainly not enough. But she told me that the imperial concubine was afraid of the cold and always thought that the palace was not warm enough. Most of the charcoal sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs was deducted before giving her. It was fine for her to herself, even the slave's house was burned warm, and she didn't care about Hailan."

A Ruo gasped: "How come that happens? Going further into the first month, it is so cold that it is not enough in February. How can Haichang stand it?"

Ruyi sighed, "Isn't this mine? In order to avoid suspicion and disaster, she has aggrieved her like this. If I had discovered it carefully, she wouldn't have had to be frozen like this." She called Baocheng, "Be careful, send some charcoal quietly to the sea always, don't ask people to pay attention. You still remember that it can only be black charcoal. Her position cannot be made with red charcoal. The charcoal ash burned by red charcoal is silver-white, and it is recognized at a glance, but it is not good. But there is no black charcoal."

Baocheng responded and said, "I understand. I will send it once a few days after the imperial concubine goes to pay my respects, so as not to give it too much."

Ruyi smiled with satisfaction: "Then go quickly. Also, you can pick a batch of winter clothes sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and send them quietly."

Seeing that Baocheng had gone down, A Ruo said, "I am considerate to treat Haichangzai. When it was just cold, I sent a lot of new cotton to go, and now I send you clothes."

Ruyi was quite touched: "How many people in this palace are easy to meet? Hailan has also become acquainted with me, so it is appropriate to take care of each other." She turned her face and asked A Ruo, "I just asked you to go to Yonghe Palace to send some gifts to Mei to agree, but what did you find out?"

A Ruo's eyes turned around and hurriedly said softly: "I sent two pieces of silk to the Lord on the order of the little master. Who knew that Yonghe Palace was so lively? Concubine Jia and Concubine Yi both gave the things, and even Concubine Hui also rewarded a lot of things."

Ruyi thought of something and asked, "That Chunpin..."

"When I went there, I hadn't sent anything to the palace."

Ruyi understood that as soon as she left the queen's harem, Chunpin must have rushed to the prince to visit her son. Even if she came back, she would be sad that her son was not around, and she was afraid that she would not care about these etiquettes for a while. She said, "When I go to Zhongcui Palace to see Chunpin later, she will feel pitiful."

A Ruo said again: "I specially paid a visit to Mei and agreed. Although it was agreed, the arrangement of Yonghe Palace and the dress that Mei agreed to be more noble than that of noble Yi. It can be seen that although I have only served me once, the emperor likes it very much."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a gentle voice from outside the courtyard: "How come the emperor doesn't like Mei's promise? What can you tell me if you play the sing? Is it a good person who trains me?"

Ruyi raised her eyes slightly and saw Jin Yuyan wearing a rose, purple butterfly cloak in a big fur, holding the maid Lixin's hand, swaying in like willows. When Yuyan saw Ruyi, she bowed and blessed her blessing, and her laughter was as cold as ice under the eaves: "Congratulations to Concubine Xian, congratulations to Concubine Xian."

Ruyi was stunned and then smiled and said, "Guru Jia's words should be agreed to Mei from Yonghe Palace, why did she go to Yanxi Palace wrong?"

Concubine Jia sneered: "I don't have such good skills, and I can adjust the flowers to play and sing and dance to welcome people. The Empress has cultivated such a proud person with one hand, so why isn't it a happy event?"

Ruyi was vague in her heart. Although she didn't know what happened, she heard Jin Yuyan's words towards her, so she didn't say anything: "Guru Jia has always been quick to speak, but it's better to say it directly if you have something to say. I'm so careful."

"Listen attentively?" Jia Guiren Yingying smiled, but his smile was as sharp as the weather, with a sharp chill. "Empress Xian was familiar with the pipa song. Why should she be as confused as we did this morning and discuss the origin of Mei's promise?"

Ruyi felt more and more confused when she heard her mention the word "original origin". However, she saw Jin Yuyan with a clear look on her face and knew everything. Instead of guessing it herself, it would be better to listen to her. Ruyi had to say: "No matter what Concubine Jia said, I am really confused about the origin of Mei's promise. If Concubine Jia felt that she didn't have to come to Yanxi Palace for nothing, it would be better to tell me the palace to understand it."

Jia Guiren raised his beautiful long eyebrows gently and said suspiciously: "Do you know it or you don't know it?"

Ruyi confessed: "I really don't know."

Concubine Jia raised her eyebrows and looked at her in disbelief, and said with a slow breath: "Didn't Mei promise to send her to the Southern Mansion by the Empress's mother's Ulanara Mansion?"

Ruyi and A Ruo looked at each other, and they were both stunned. When Guiren Jia saw that her expression was true, he believed it a little: "You really don't know?"

Ruyi walked to the corridor and said frankly: "I am not aware of this matter at all. I am planning to ask A Ruo to inquire. If my sister knows it, she might as well speak out."

Concubine Jia glanced at her coldly: "Mei promised to be the one who sent it to your mother's Ulanara Mansion in the eighth year of Yongzheng."

Ruyi concentrated on her mind and thought: "In the eighth year of Yongzheng, this palace was only fourteen years old. How can she know these things?"

Concubine Jia stroked the pointed armor on his finger: "You don't know, it doesn't mean that the Empress Jingren Palace of Empress did not know. Concubine Hui and her concubines have already asked. Mei agreed to enter the Southern Palace, which was agreed to enter the Southern Palace by Empress Jingren Palace. Although you didn't know about it back then, did you know nothing later? Besides, Mei agreed to suddenly be favored, which is too strange. Only Empress, you know the joints yourself."
