Work overtime

Chapter 636 There are quite a few tricks

Qingying saw that Chanjuan and the lady were in a stalemate, and quickly handed over the ladder.

"Sister Chanjuan, please let me sleep for a while. Today's concubine makes the empress somewhat unhappy. She is obviously lower in rank than her, but she only manages palace affairs. She looks aloof, both overtly and covertly. Miss Sarcasm. Can you not feel uncomfortable?"

Chanjuan looked worriedly at Meng Zhao, who was hiding under the cool quilt on the concubine's bed and refused to see anyone, and sighed.

Only the coward will escape, and only the strong can reach the peak of power.

The young lady appears to be a dignified, steady and well-educated lady. Only those who came from their prime minister's house know that this is just the result of superficial training.

Although my young lady is smart and can learn many things in one go, she has been praised and pampered since she was a child. I can get whatever the wind brings, and I haven't suffered any setbacks or injuries at all. She has no personal experience of the evil in people's hearts, and is still a simple and willful little girl.

I just didn't expect to be slapped in the face and laughed at as soon as I entered the palace. But such a huge setback was given to her by the man she had admired since she was a child.

The pain and humiliation must be beyond what Qingying can understand.

Just when Meng Zhao was secretly crying under the quilt and his thoughts were in confusion, he suddenly heard Chanjuan's familiar voice: "Miss, the emperor just sent someone to come to Changchun Palace tonight."

The girl Huaichun is the most infatuated and passionate. The more she obstructs her, the more persistent she becomes.

Unexpectedly, Li Beichen put his hands behind his head and said softly, "Go to sleep. It's already very late."

Meng Zhao pushed aside the quilt in surprise and exposed his head, full of joy, "Really?!"

Chanjuan said no more, she just hoped that the emperor could see the sincerity of the young lady and show pity and love to the young lady.

"As long as the emperor has my concubine in his heart, I will never feel wronged." Meng Zhao's eyes were burning with love.

In the evening, Li Beichen asked the imperial kitchen to bring some dishes over. The two had dinner together. Later, they listened to Meng Zhao play the piano and painted with him. They seemed to be in love with each other and loved each other.

Chanjuan said worriedly, "Before the young lady entered the palace, Madam always warned me that the Heavenly Family has been ruthless since ancient times, so it's better for the young lady not to be too affectionate."

What a perfect couple.

Meng Zhao smiled contentedly and moved closer to Li Beichen, tentatively trying to touch Li Beichen's hand.

Late at night, Meng Zhao lay on his side next to Li Beichen like a kitten, "Your Majesty, it was my concubine who made the mistake before."

Li Beichen: "The Prime Minister has raised a good daughter. You don't have to get up early to iron my clothes tomorrow morning. Just sleep more. I know you are virtuous."

Meng Zhao couldn't sleep, so he got up quietly and copied the "Heart Sutra".

Chanjuan thought to herself, it would be great if the emperor always treated the young lady like this.

Li Beichen said calmly, "The palace is not as good as the prime minister's palace, and there are no rules. You have been wronged."

Meng Zhao looked at Li Beichen with warm and affectionate eyes, and Li Beichen always smiled.

Chanjuan responded happily with tears in her eyes, "It's true. Miss, please get up and dress up."

Meng Zhao said happily, "I knew the emperor cared about me. The emperor punished me just because I needed to silence everyone in Youyou and to establish prestige for other newcomers."

"Stop talking about it." Meng Zhao was embarrassed and angry after someone revealed what he was worried about, "Help me change my clothes. The emperor is my husband. I don't like him. Who else should I like!"

It seemed like nothing in the past had ever happened.

She also came from a young girl, and she also fell in love with a handsome young man, and she understands the lingering pathos and reluctance in it.

Chanjuan looked at Meng Zhao lovingly and shook her head secretly.

Worried, Chanjuan walked up to Meng Zhao and asked softly, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Meng Zhao stared blankly at the bright moon outside the window, his cheeks flushed, "It's nothing. Please step back first. I'm fine."

Li Beichen was lying on the couch, squinting through the thin pink gauze at the girl practicing calligraphy at the desk.

She simply pulled her hair up and wore a silk pajamas.

The back is graceful and graceful.

Just when he was about to fall asleep, a soft and fragrant body suddenly slipped into his arms very boldly.

The rich fragrance of peony flowers fills the air
There are quite a lot of tricks.

Jiang Yuebai didn't sleep.

Jiang Yuebai was lying on the couch, covered with a silk quilt with blue background and pink flowers. The candlelight shone on her face, her expression was a bit cold.

Perrin knelt aside.

Jiang Yuebai: "Have you figured it out?"

The voice was calm and very cold. It made Peilan feel that even if he killed her now, the empress would not blink an eye. After all, it was said both inside and outside the palace that the empress was famous for slaying enemies with a sword, carving out flesh and bones and healing wounds without saying a word.

Peilan sniffed and cried out what was in her heart: "Mother, I was wrong, I want to go home."

Jiang Yuebai: "That's not possible. The palace is not the Caiyuan Gate where you can enter whenever you want, nor is the Ning'an Palace Gate."

Peilan burst into tears, "Please forgive me, please forgive me. I was wrong."

Jiang Yuebai patted her gently with a fan and said, "Let's sign a five-year labor contract. After five years, I will find a way to send you out of the palace. But within five years, you have to listen to me. How about being my person, doing things for me, and being loyal to me?"

This shot made Perrin's eye circles even redder.

At home she was the eldest lady and was surrounded by people to serve her, but in the palace she had to do the most serving thing, washing her white and tender little hands rough.

Jiang Yuebai said calmly:

"If you really don't want to, that's fine. I'll hand you over to the emperor. I won't charge you with any additional charges. Just leave the crimes of deceiving the emperor, spying on the emperor, and trying to murder the emperor's heir to Gong Zhengsi.

Fan Cairen had a pregnancy, and I happened to give her a ginseng root before. Someone wanted to frame me and kill me. It's hard to say whether the emperor will feel sorry for the child in my belly and let you be the scapegoat and kill the nine tribes. "Although it was a deliberate statement to scare Perrin. But if he handed it over, it would be hard to say. After all, everyone is actually eager to get rid of the hot potato.

Peilan was a simple girl, otherwise she wouldn't have sneaked out behind her back. After being threatened like this by Jiang Yuebai, she started crying again.

While she was crying, Li Chun fanned her lovingly beside her as Jiang Yuebai ordered.

Jiang Yuebai waited until she couldn't cry anymore, and asked Li Chun to hand her a handkerchief, "That's almost enough. You are here in this palace, and I will not treat you badly. No, this is a five-year labor contract. If it’s appropriate, I’ll sign it. I’ll keep my word and I’ll send you home as long as you behave well.”

Li Chun took out two notebooks, which were about the same size as memorials. They contained four pages and wrote some clauses in them with reference to modern labor contracts. Tell Perrin in duplicate.

Peilan was stunned for a while while looking at the labor contract. He saw a circle of people surrounding him, complaining every day and not responding, so he had no choice but to sign and take his fingerprints.

Jiang Yuebai also ordered her to make a solemn oath like everyone else and never betray the Lord.

With the labor contract in hand, Jiang Yuebai felt very at ease and found the feeling of being an HR in her previous life. She waved her hand to Peilan:
"Okay, don't cry and look sad. It's like I bullied you. Now that you swore the oath and signed the contract, we are our own.

Li Chun gave her twenty taels of silver as a wedding gift package. Go back and change your clothes and wash your face. From now on, you will have to make incense, test for poisons, and study medicine every day. The burden on you is heavy, so sleep well. No need to do those rough jobs. "

With the support of Xia Zhi, Peilan took her "labor contract" and left in confusion.

I actually felt a little strangely grateful. Because I finally don’t have to do rough work anymore.

Jiang Yuebai is lacking a sophisticated and comprehensive professional and technical talent like Peilan. Now that he understands her motives and has figured out her temperament in a month, how can he let her go so easily.

In addition to being deceived, he also spent a lot of money to use a very precious lifelong loyalty charm on her.

Even the emperor was reluctant to use it.

In fact, it's not that I'm reluctant to part with it, but that I'm worried that it won't be of use and that a treasure is wasted.

The emperor, like the queen mother, has independent thinking and personality. He is inherently suspicious, difficult to control, and can easily become self-defeating.

But Peilan is different. It is very useful for young girls with unstable temperaments and simple thoughts.

It looks like a five-year contract, but it's actually the same as the establishment. Once you fall into this trap, you won’t be able to escape anyway.

After Peilan left, Lichun sighed: "Sister Peilan seemed a little happy when she left."

Jiang Yuebai: "That's because I believed in her and focused on cultivating her, and she felt it."

Li Chun actually believed the lies her mistress made up casually. I secretly made up my mind to never let down my empress’ cultivation and trust.

Jiang Yuebai then looked at Li Chun, "Have you learned the twelve sets of Juntiquan taught by Xiao Luozi recently? Show me one set."

Li Chun came up with something, and it seemed like that was the case.

Jiang Yuebai nodded: "Not bad! Reward!"

Li Chun was very happy after hearing this.

Not because he was rewarded with two taels of silver, but because he was finally praised by his master. There is energy all over the body.

Early the next morning, Gong Zhengsi went to report to the concubines that Xuanxuan, the maid next to Fan Cairen, had been recruited.

It was said that Concubine Fan had her spotting in the middle of the night the day before yesterday, and she went to ask Concubine Xi to summon the imperial physician. Perhaps it was too late, and Concubine Xi's palace was locked, so no one answered the door.

The day before yesterday, Fan Cairen decided to rest in bed and drink some ginseng chicken soup to replenish his body. She picked the best-looking ginseng from the warehouse and stewed it for Fan Cairen to eat, but who knew she was still pregnant.

The imperial doctor informed Xi Concubine yesterday that there were actually two ginseng roots in the soup, and the problematic ginseng was disposed of. Naturally, Xuanxuan still didn't tell the truth.

Xi concubine told Gong Zhengsi about this and asked Gong Zhengsi to try again with torture. He immediately got up and went to Zizhuyuan to talk to Fan Cairen.

With a straight face, she pretended to be concerned and told Fan Cairen that Xuanxuan would do anything if she couldn't bear the torture. If she told her to tell the truth quickly, she might get a lighter sentence, otherwise she would have to go to Gong Zhengsi to be tortured, and she might even implicate her mother clan.

At first, Fan Cairen shed tears after thinking about it and refused to speak. Xi Bin pretended to be cold and forceful and walked away. Fan Cairen then spoke hesitantly.

He actually cheated out new inside information.

It turned out that the day before yesterday, she felt bored staying in the yard, so she went for a walk by the lake. Unexpectedly, she stepped on the moss in the shade and slipped. When she came back, she started to have a stomachache, but she didn't see any redness.

Because Concubine He had always warned her not to go out, she did not dare to call the imperial doctor for fear of being punished. As a result, I saw some red at night, so I hurriedly went to Xi concubine to summon the imperial doctor. But it was too late at that time, Xi Bin might have fallen asleep, and no one answered the door. So Xuanxuan suggested stewing some ginseng chicken soup to replenish qi, and then rest in bed to prevent miscarriage.

Who knew that he would be completely dead at night? Then he had no choice but to go to Xian Fei to inform the imperial doctor.

After hearing this, Concubine Xi suddenly fell into disgrace.

If you follow this statement, wouldn't it involve your own dereliction of duty? After all, the night before yesterday, he failed to summon the imperial doctor immediately because he was too sleepy and neglected his duty.

But she had no good way to take it out.

For a moment, he was confused and his face was gloomy. Regardless of the fact that Fan Cairen had just had a miscarriage, was still losing blood, and was weak, he kept letting her kneel on the ground.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a high-pitched announcement, "Empress Meng Jieyu has arrived~"

Putao quickly reminded his master, "Fan Cairen..."

Before she finished speaking, Meng Jieyu walked in gorgeously.

The silver horse-faced skirt was embroidered with several white magnolia flowers with silver thread, and purple crystal earrings hung from her ears. There is a walking stick on the head, also in the shape of a purple magnolia.

After entering, the whole room became brighter.

Under the majesty, a large number of people knelt down on the ground.

Concubine Xi was panicked and quickly knelt down to salute.
