Concubine, she rises step by step

Chapter 11 Inquiry
The queen mother was a little angry.

The emperor was in a bad mood.

Very serious consequences.

Li Qing and Sheng Yi both stood by Huo Jiheng's side, not daring to show their air.

"You are really brave! How dare you stuff the portrait yourself?" Huo Jiheng's coldness spread all over his body, making people tremble.

Li Qing bowed his head to his side, and pleaded guilty: "Your servant is ineffective, please punish me by the emperor."

"Where did you get the portrait?" Huo Jiheng continued to ask.

Li Qing raised his head to look at the emperor, and replied calmly: "It is indeed the draft portrait that was sent up earlier, but at that time, the queen mother said that it was not dignified enough, so she put it on hold. The servant is also blind, so I accidentally put it in."

Huo Jiheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "Anyway, you will be punished if you make up your own mind. You can go to the general manager to receive the punishment yourself."

Li Qing thanked Dade and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

After that, they went out.

However, Sheng Yi wondered if he had an illusion, why did he feel that the emperor was not angry?

"You must do well what the queen mother told you to do..." Huo Jiheng looked at the kindness with deep meaning.

Seeing that, Shengyi felt uncomfortable for a while, and boldly replied: "Shengyi is a maid of Qianhui Palace, the emperor's personal servant, and naturally she must obey the emperor's orders. However, the empress dowager is the emperor's empress dowager, how dare the servants disobey the empress dowager, everything has to be considered by the emperor."

Huo Jiheng looked at Shengyi unexpectedly, and said with some doubts: "You are so eloquent, why does nobleman Qi say that you are clumsy and clumsy?"

Sheng Yi smiled awkwardly, "The emperor was joking."

"It's like a different person!" Huo Jiheng rubbed his chin and stared at Shengyi.

Sheng Yi said solemnly: "Have you ever heard that sentence, the emperor will become what kind of person you follow."

"Speak." Huo Jiheng said with great interest.

"In the past, when the servants followed the nobleman Qi, there were many court ladies, and the maidservants were responsible for sweeping and sweeping work. They were serious about things, and it was normal to speak less. In front of the nobleman Qi, there were only other people who gave advice and served closely. It was not the servant girl's turn to overstep and show off. Now, the servant girls serve the emperor in Qianhui Palace. They need to watch all directions, listen to all directions, and share their worries and problems for the emperor. Fang Wanquan." Sheng Yi said seriously.

Regardless of whether the emperor believes it or not, he believes it himself.

"Before, Li Qing said you were smart, and it seems to be true." Huo Jiheng praised his kindness with satisfaction.

Cheng Yi hurriedly smiled and said respectfully: "Thank you, the emperor, for the compliment. On the Queen Mother's side, can the servants report back according to their own methods?"

Huo Jiheng looked at the mysterious kindness on his face, and waved his hand, "I'm sure!"

"Yes, slaves obey."

Apart from Zhengxindian, Shengyi only felt that his brain cells had died countless times, and his brain was burning, too much, and working with smart people, he couldn't do without a lot of attention.

Outside the door, Li Qing was teaching the little eunuch a lesson, knocking, "This is blue and white porcelain made in Chongping for 15 years, how many heads have you grown?"

The little eunuch tremblingly replied: "Eunuch Li, please forgive me! This slave didn't do it on purpose..."

"Our family will be pissed off by you sooner or later, let's take the board!" Eunuch Li said impatiently.

The little eunuch kowtowed and trotted away.

Seeing kindness in his eyes, he was very puzzled.

Li Qing turned around and saw the kindness.

"Eunuch Li." The kindness was slightly blessed.

Eunuch Li saw Shengyi's eyes, "What? Do you think you are too strict with him?"

"Shengyi believes that Eunuch Li has his own ideas." Shengyi replied truthfully.

"He broke a vase today, if our family let him go, if he caused other troubles tomorrow, will the emperor and concubines forgive him?" Eunuch Li asked kindly.

Although the method is strict, the effect is excellent.

People can only have a long memory when they are punished. This is the iron law.

"Eunuch Li devoted himself to them, and he sincerely admires them." He said sincerely.

"The detours we have taken can make them take less time..." Eunuch Li sighed.

"However, there is one thing that Shengyi doesn't understand. Eunuch Li is so cautious, how could he add a pair of portraits when showing them?"

Eunuch Li's smile gradually deepened, "You are clever..."

Eunuch Li motioned to take a step to speak.

So, the two walked to the next pavilion.

"You don't know that the current empress is the niece of the empress dowager, the concubine Lan is the sister of the great general, the concubine is the noble daughter of Gouli, and the concubine is the daughter of a scholar. They are all related to each other. Today, the empress dowager chose these people carefully. I don't know which one's family background. However, this is the selection of concubines after all. The emperor does not want the harem to have too many entanglements with the previous dynasty. A woman who does not affect the court situation, I hope to help the emperor get out of the siege." Eunuch Li really took it as a confidant, and if someone else listens to this, it may be the following remark.

Hearing this kindly, he was terrified. Eunuch Li is working hard...

"No wonder the emperor is so satisfied. Dare to love Eunuch Li." Sheng Yi said without any danger.

Eunuch Li smiled.

"Admiration! Really admiration!" Sheng Yi said.

Eunuch Li waved his hands and said with concern: "This is nothing worth mentioning in our family, what should you do? With the empress dowager's temperament, this matter may not be so easy to deal with."

Shengyi smiled slightly, and he had a solution in his mind, "Shengyi first figure out what to do, if you encounter difficulties, I hope Eunuch Li will help you."

Eunuch Li nodded, "It's easy to say, our family will definitely help if we can."

From a distance, I saw Ai Xiang coming.

Sheng Yi got up quickly, "Auntie."

Ai Xiang smiled politely and said, "Sheng Shangyi, the Empress invites you to Jingren Palace for tea."

Sheng Yi was quite surprised, when the queen called out, Sheng Yi was full of suspicion, constantly thinking about what he had done these days, for fear of doing something wrong again.

Ai Xiang probably saw the cautiousness of the kindness, and her tone was soft, "The empress has been talking about how hard you are working in Qianhui Palace, and you just got a pot of good tea today, please come over and catch up with Sheng Shangyi."

Sheng Yi's expression relaxed, and she replied: "Gu Gu should call me Sheng Yi, if it wasn't for Gu Gu's constant care, Sheng Yi would have been tortured a long time ago."

Ai Xiang was deeply moved, "Auntie saw you right."

Along the way, the two said a few words politely, and soon they arrived at Jingren Palace.

"I'd like to see the empress empress." She bowed respectfully and respectfully.

The queen smiled, "Get up quickly and sit down."

Sheng Yi was quite surprised, how could the queen be so polite.

"Thank you Queen Empress."

"Is it easy to serve the emperor these days?" the queen asked joyfully.

Sheng Yi slightly nodded, "Trust Empress Empress to arrange, and other things will be done by someone else. The servant saves a lot of energy, and one person can handle it."

The queen nodded, "Since this palace is the head of the six palaces, it has the responsibility to manage the affairs of the various places. Qianhui Palace is the emperor's residence, so it should take more care of it."

She smiled kindly and wanted to see, but kept wondering in her heart what the queen was up to.

"I heard that the emperor appointed a new concubine?" The queen pretended to have no intention of saying.

Sheng Yi understood the queen's intention for a moment. It turned out that she was inquiring about the news, and said slowly: "The empress dowager thought about the frailty of the emperor's heirs, and said that she wanted to invite one more concubine into the palace, so as to spread the word."

The queen's face changed slightly, "Queen?"

"The empress dowager, the emperor, denied all the women selected by the empress dowager, and casually pointed to a beautiful girl who was to be selected before." He replied with good intentions.

Sure enough, when the queen heard this, her face turned pale, "The one who was waiting to be selected before?"

Nodding kindly, he continued: "Yes."

After the queen got a reply, she felt at ease, "The emperor is busy with state affairs, so there is no need to bother the emperor about today's affairs. If there is anything you don't understand in Qianhui Palace, you can come to Jingren Palace directly to find me."

Thank you again and again, and got another pot of good tea from the queen, and went out.

After walking a few steps on the road, I heard gossip: "Isn't that the kindness of Cuiwei Palace before, but they flew up the branches..."

A voice from the side suddenly said, "Maybe they used some kind of seductive trick!"

Sheng Yi frowned, daring to speak so blatantly, I really want to die!
