Donggong Zhangjiao

After his bedtime, Qiu Baolin was in an especially good mood. When he came to Fengxuan Palace to pay his respects, his face was three points rosier than before.

Fang Yun naturally maintained his full 'malice' towards her.

In Fengxuan Palace, you treat people well and make things difficult.

Qiu Baolin still looked that aggrieved and pitiful, letting Fang Yun bully him.

The queen was just watching the show, and she also wanted to see if Qiu Baolin had any real ability.

After all, in the harem nowadays, except for Yuzhang Palace, Qiu Baolin seems to be able to attract the emperor's attention. The other two, Lan Liangyuan and Xu Liangyuan, are following the rules.

There are even two people who haven't slept with her yet, Wang Cainu and Luo Cainu.

Just because there is comparison makes people interested, isn't it?

After all, Fang Yun had been the only favorite for some years, and the emperor also wanted to know if anyone would break this situation.

After the greetings were over, the concubines dispersed.

Fang Yun's sedan chair did not return to Yuzhang Palace, but went directly to Jingqian Palace.

Isn't this angry? I have to go to the emperor to make a fuss, right?
  The concubines in the harem watched, and some secretly laughed. Seeing that the most favored Concubine Zhao was deflated, they felt comfortable.

Qiu Baolin was one of those people who felt happy.

When he walked to the door of Zhongcui Palace, he looked up at the gold-plated plaque above and raised the corners of his lips slightly.

"Zhongcui Palace, Yang can't sit in a stable position. I want to try to see if I can sit securely."

"Baolin is already beautiful, and the emperor also cares for Baolin. Now that he is getting help, he will surely rise step by step." Rongxiu said flatteringly.

Listening to the maid's words, Qiu Baolin secretly encouraged himself.

When she left Jingqian Palace this morning, the emperor mentioned that she would be promoted to the throne during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Step by step, she would also be the head of Zhongcui Palace in the future.

Withdrawing their gaze, the master and servant walked into the palace gate and went to the courtyard where they lived.

It was still a little hot after walking for a while, so when I entered the house, I poured a cup of herbal tea in the outer hall.

"You go to the Yining Palace later and tell Concubine Yan that I have used this thing very well and ask her for another one." Qiu Baolin ordered.

Rong Xiu nodded, "I understand, but I'm still worried about Baolin's health. I'm afraid that Concubine Yan's words may be untrue. Why don't you ask an imperial doctor to take a look first?"

"Even if there is a problem, I have already eaten it, and I think the emperor was very satisfied with it last night. This is enough. Even if we ask the imperial doctor to see it, we may not be able to find any results."

Qiu Baolin whispered, and was about to give further instructions when he suddenly heard the sound of something being pushed down from behind the screen.

"Who!"

Hearing the movement, Qiu Baolin turned around quickly, stared at the screen sharply, and motioned for Rong Xiu to go in and check.

The latter also understood immediately, walked quickly to the screen, and then called out in surprise.

"Wang Cainv?!"

"I, I" Wang Cainv looked embarrassed and walked out, looking very embarrassed, "I heard that Sister Qiu went to bed last night, and I came here specially to congratulate her. My sister was not here, so I sat by myself for a while, looking, looking. The bracelet on the dressing table in the back room was beautiful, so I admired it for a while."

As he spoke, he covered his right wrist with his left hand.

But Qiu Baolin had already seen the red marks on her right wrist, and he suddenly understood.

Wang Cainu must have been secretly trying on her bracelet in the back room just now. Suddenly she heard her coming back and hurriedly took off the bracelet.

So, just in this moment, how much did Mr. Wang hear that he shouldn't have heard?
  Suddenly, Qiu Baolin's eyes flashed with murderous intent. But there was a gentle smile on his face.

"It turned out to be my sister in the house. I thought it was someone else. The bracelets were a pair given by the emperor earlier. If my sister liked it, she took this one and I kept the other one for us to wear together. They seem to have a deep sisterly affection."

Qiu Baolin had always looked like a soft little white rabbit in front of Wang Cainu, and Wang was not even remotely wary.

I was still feeling uncomfortable because I secretly wore jewelry and eavesdropped on the conversation between Qiu Baolin and Rong Xiu. But now that Qiu Baolin said this, I felt relieved again.

Smiling, he stepped forward and took Qiu Baolin's hand.

"Good sister, I know you have a Bodhisattva heart. No wonder the emperor likes you so much."

Qiu Baolin smiled without saying a word and sat down at the table with her.

"My sister didn't even say a word when she came. The maids in my courtyard are becoming more and more unruly."

"I didn't ask them to serve here. I used to come here often." Wang Cainv waved her hands carelessly.

This is true, because Qiu Baolin has always been very close to Wang Cainu, and Wang Cainu comes to talk to Qiu Baolin every day, so the people who serve Qiu Baolin in the yard are accustomed to it, and regard Wang Cainu as one of their own. .

But at this moment, Wang Cainu didn't notice Qiu Baolin's smile at all. It didn't reach her eyes, but she asked tentatively.

"I just heard you say that Concubine Yan gave you something good that was very useful to the Emperor, but did it help you gain favor?"

After saying this, she quickly added.

"I'm not jealous of your great favor, sister, and want to imitate you. I'm just curious. It's okay if my sister doesn't want to talk about it."

"How could I doubt my sister?" Qiu Baolin raised the corners of his lips, "It's just some ointment that can make your complexion and appearance better. When I go to Concubine Yan to ask for more, I'll share some with my sister."

Hearing this, Wang Cainu was overjoyed and sat for a while before going back happily.

However, as soon as she left, Qiu Baolin's eyes burst out with a cold light.

That night, Zhong Cuigong was flooded in the middle of the night, and the room where Wang Cainu lived was the first to burn down. The fire was so fierce that not only Wang Cainu, who was sleeping, was burned to death, but also Qiu Baolin's servants who went to help put out the fire and save others. , both unfortunately perished in the sea of ​​fire.

It was a coincidence that those two slaves were on duty in the courtyard during the day, but did not report to Qiu Baolin that Wang Cainv had arrived.

The death of a Cai Nv, who was from a lowly family and was punished by Pei Yao for not being favored, naturally did not attract much attention.

Especially the cause of the fire, it was finally found out that the maid keeping watch fell asleep and the candlestick fell down but was not found. It was a hot and dry day, which caused the fire.

However, the reason found out was only for others to see. Pei Yao and Fang Yun were doubtful in their hearts.

But in order not to alert others, they acquiesced and settled the matter.

Qiu Baolin was greatly frightened by the fire, and was comforted by Pei Yao.

Zhongcui Palace burned down and needed repairs, making it uninhabitable, so Pei Yao took advantage of the situation and offered to change her residence.

Qiu Baolin nodded in agreement and chose Yining Palace.

According to her words, besides Wang Cainu, the only person in the palace who could have a few words with her was Concubine Yan.

In addition, she had also said good things about Concubine Yan in front of Pei Yao before, so this was nothing unusual.

As for Pei Yao, of course he agreed.

He was also worried that his initiative to let Qiu Baolin move to Yining Palace would arouse Lin Chan's suspicion. Qiu Baolin said it himself, so let her go. (End of chapter)
