Chapter 231

Zhao Lu didn't dare to keep Zhao Mei waiting for a long time, she changed her clothes quickly, but even so, she still made Zhao Mei wait for half a quarter of an hour.

"My concubine, please concubine Wu."

Zhao Lu bowed her knees and saluted.

She had already sat down and was ready to be tortured by Zhao Mei.

Not to mention anything else, it won't make her feel better if she persists for a while just because the salute is not exempt.

"Why is my sister so polite? There are no outsiders here, sit down."

Zhao Mei personally came over to help Zhao Lu up.

When Zhao Lu was helped to sit on the chair, she was a little dazed, so that she didn't dare to sit on the chair, and was ready to kneel down at any time.

"Sister, don't be nervous." Zhao Mei smiled modestly.

Zhao Lu felt even more horrified, but she didn't dare to show it, so she could only try to figure out what Zhao Mei was thinking, and said in a gentle voice: "Concubine Wu seems to be in a good mood. I heard that Qing Jieyu and Zhou Jieyu just Come, maybe they said something interesting?"

"There are interesting things, but there are more things that make me curious."

Zhao Lu: ...

understood.

This is to ask her for some news.

"What are you curious about?" Zhao Lu asked directly.

Zhao Mei was very satisfied with Zhao Lu's performance, and she signaled Ji Ru to pour tea for Zhao Lu.

Zhao Lu finally dared to adjust her sitting posture.

"Thank you, Concubine Wu." Zhao Lu picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea.

It was a taste she was familiar with.

When I was in the boudoir, I had the opportunity to drink this kind of tea only when I went to my uncle's place. Her father also had it, but because the quantity was too small, I was only willing to brew it when entertaining distinguished guests.

Unlike Zhao Mei, she can drink whatever she wants.

"When I was chatting with Qing Jieyu just now, I heard her mention the right to manage the harem..."

The tea in Zhao Lu's mouth was a little hard to swallow.

"Before I entered the palace, I remember that the Empress Dowager helped Concubine De to fight for this right. How did it fall into Qing Jieyu's hands?" Zhao Mei didn't see anything unusual about Zhao Lu, and continued to ask.

Zhao Lu silently put the teacup that she drank only two sips back on the table, moved her body forward again, and adjusted back to the original chair posture.

"Returning to Concubine Wu, the concubine doesn't know the details of this matter."

Zhao Mei didn't expect Zhao Lu to say that, a trace of astonishment appeared on her face, and she seemed to be back to normal again.

"Is my sister joking?"

"I heard that when that incident happened, all the concubines in the palace were present, but the emperor deprived Empress Defei of the right to assist in the management of the Sixth Palace in front of all of you and gave it to Qing Jieyu."

Zhao Lu: ...

You know all about it and still ask me what to do?
"That's true, but the concubine's status was very low at that time. When the emperor was angry, the concubine would kneel in the distance. The concubine didn't know exactly what happened."

Zhao Lu thought for a moment and replied slowly.

She got her expression right,
Zhao Mei narrowed her eyes slowly.

She carefully looked at the expression on Zhao Lu's face, it didn't look fake.

She thought of Zhao Meiren's status as a beauty now because they had a happy event in the palace. Thinking of Zhao Lu's status as a nobleman before, and the situation that she hadn't spoken to the emperor for several months after entering the palace, she felt very sad. Believe it soon.

"Then tell me as much as you know."

Zhao Lu whispered: "Madam, my concubine really doesn't know anything."

"Crack!" Zhao Mei put the tea bowl heavily on the table: "I see that you don't want to talk about it!"

Zhao Lu took advantage of the situation and knelt on the ground, lowered her head and whispered, "I dare not."

Isn't it.

Of course I don't want to talk about it.

Zhao Mei narrowed her eyes dangerously: "I see that you are very daring. Since you don't know, then kneel down and get up when you know."

"Yes." Zhao Lu agreed, kneeling on the ground and dozing off.

Zhao Mei supported Ji Ru's hand and went to the inner room, ignoring Zhao Lu who was kneeling outside.

"What do you think?" Zhao Mei sat in front of the bronze mirror and took the hairpin from her bun.

"The servant girl looks at Meiren Zhao as if she is lying. She has such a temperament. If there is something private about what happened back then, how could Qing Jieyu not dare to say it, and Meiren Zhao didn't know about it?"

Zhao Mei pursed her lips.

"If your empress doesn't believe it, you can call Shu Guiren and Liu Guiren over and listen to what they say?"

Zhao Mei thinks this is a good way: "Then you go and invite them over, go directly to Xinuang Pavilion, don't let them see Zhao Meiren, and wait for Ben Gong to ask me."

"Yes." Ji Rufu backed Fuli.

Zhao Mei took another hairpin and stuck it in her hair bun, added some fat and then went to Xinuan Pavilion.

In Zhumo Palace, there are four pavilions: Zilan Pavilion, Qinglan Pavilion, Yunmo Pavilion, and Wantang Pavilion.

Before, Han Yiqing and Zhou Wanying lived in Zilanxuan, Zhou Wanying lived in Zhengxuan, Han Yiqing lived in Side Xuan, now both of them have become Jieyu, Han Yiqing couldn't live in Side Xuan anymore, so she moved to a small courtyard next to Zilanxuan Qing Lanxuan lives in Zhengxuan.

Now both of them have entered Qing Lanxuan.

"Sister, why do we show our favor to Concubine Wu?" After entering Xuanzi, Zhou Wanying sat on the chair naturally.

Naturally, a court lady came over with tea.

Han Yiqing didn't mind what happened to Zhou Wanying, so she also sat down and said softly, "Although Concubine Wu has just entered the palace, she is the highest among the concubines, and her Concubine Wu was specially mentioned by the empress dowager to the emperor. "

"The emperor is pure filial piety, so he naturally agrees."

"You and I have also won the Queen Mother's favor recently. Since the Queen Mother likes Concubine Wu, we must get closer to Concubine Wu, so that the Queen Mother will be happy in her eyes."

After Han Yiqing finished speaking, she took a sip of tea.

The taste is really the same as the one in Qingyun Palace, but she still finished drinking it with a normal face.

"What my sister said is true. Fortunately, my sister reminded me, otherwise my sister would be confused again." Han Yiqing also drank tea, but her face changed after taking a sip: "Why is the taste of this tea so strange?"

The little court lady who made the tea hurriedly came over and explained: "Your Majesty, this is the top-grade green tea distributed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and this is what the two masters usually drink."

Zhou Wanying frowned slightly, with a little disbelief on her face: "Really?"

The little maid suddenly turned pale, and opened her mouth not knowing how to answer.

"You go down first." Han Yiqing made a relief in a warm voice.

The little palace maid blessed Fuli and withdrew with a pale face.

"Of course, except for the green tea and Maojian, they are all top grade. The tea delivered by our two places is much better than those two places."

Those two places naturally refer to the noble Jing from Yunmoxuan, and the few people from Wantangxuan who have lower scores.

Zhou Wanying curled her lips: "I don't know how many good things that Qing Yundian brought into the palace, but I can't drink any more after only drinking a cup of tea!"

With a little disgust, she pushed the teacup on the side of the table inside again.

 I still owe a chapter, hey, see you at four o'clock~
