Clear Wear and Lie to Win

Chapter 16
It's fine if you don't mention the branches and leaves, but when you mention it, Niu Gulu thinks about the fact that she was broken by the queen, and she is annoyed. The queen is throwing salt on her heart and poking her lungs!
Concubine Niu is not the kind of person who waits to swallow her anger. Anyway, she can't even have a child, so she is not afraid of anything!

Concubine Niu: "What the empress said is true, but the concubine's body, the empress also knows, and she doesn't know if she has this luck. Isn't it just a coincidence that four beautiful younger sisters have arrived, and I think there will be news soon! It's good to share the worries for the empress!"

Niu Gulushi knew something about Chenghu's elder brother's physical condition, and the Hesheli family sent Gege into the palace in such a hurry, Niu Gulushi was even more convinced that Chenghu's elder brother was not in good health!That's why she said, let the new concubine relieve the queen's worries, it's better to have more children!
When Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui were pregnant, the Empress was superficially magnanimous, but she had heard that a lot of porcelain had been exchanged in the empress's palace!I don't know if the new concubine is pregnant, the queen will die of anger!

The queen was extremely unhappy when she heard Niu Gulu's words, but she still had to smile with a virtuous face: "Concubine Niu is right. The job of a concubine is to spread branches and leaves for the royal family. All sisters, work hard to serve the royal family. Cheng Hu added a few younger brothers and sisters!"

As the queen's old opponent, Niu Gulushi knows the queen's personality best, and seeing her pretending to be virtuous, she just feels happy!
Niu Gulu smiled very sincerely this time and said: "As expected of a queen, she is truly a virtuous person!"

The queen and Niu Gulu's two people come and go, it's so lively!The others were afraid of harming the fish pond, so they didn't dare to speak up!They all lowered their heads and pretended to drink tea!

The queen saw that she couldn't get anything good from Niu Gulu's, so she let it go!Then there was a burst of lectures: "The new sisters may not be familiar with the life in the palace, but I hope that all the sisters will abide by the palace rules...to spread branches and leaves for the emperor!"

After the queen finished speaking, she might feel a little boring, so everyone went back!Only my own sister, Concubine Xi, was left behind, saying that she wanted to talk about family matters!
Yunrong has Ama who is the secretary of the household department. The household department is in charge of the entry and exit of the world's silver and grain. It is one of the most important institutions in the country.
Yunrong has Ama who is the secretary of the household department, and she is no worse than the queen and concubine Niu in terms of status!So no one thinks of wooing someone who is superior in all aspects to themselves. To woo someone in the past is to find an ancestor for themselves, and they have to hold on to them!

So Yunrong left Jingren Palace, took Chen Changzai and went back!I ran into someone else on the way, exchanged a few polite greetings, and then there was no more to say. It can be seen that for the time being, no one wants to join her, and no one wants to win her over!
Yun Rong was happy and at ease, but at this time she realized that the Yongshou Palace was getting better, and she was the only one in the Sixth West Palace, so she was very comfortable!There is also a lot less right and wrong!
In Jingren Palace, the empress smiled gently at her younger sister who had hardly gotten along with her since she was a child: "How about Ama and Er Niang at home, they are in good health! In addition to what you like to do on weekdays, I will enter the palace and enter the palace." It's too early to serve Ama Erniang well, I always feel a little unfilial!"

Concubine Xi is also good at talking, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, Ama Erniang is in good health! I just miss my sister and Brother Chenghu, Erniang said, as long as my sister is well, she feels that she is also healthy." Good! My sister is free on weekdays, but looking for a few idle books to pass the time, but I don't really like to do anything!"

Empress: "Hi, Ma'am, I don't worry. Since you like reading, I happen to have quite a few here. You can bring some back when you go back! Your Majesty usually likes talented women, so read more books." , also good!"

Xi Consort knew that the empress was indirectly telling her the emperor's preferences!

So Concubine Xi blushed and said embarrassedly, "My sister knows! Thank you for reminding me!"

Then the queen kept Xi concubine for dinner, and told her a lot of the emperor's love in a cryptic manner, of course she didn't tell the whole story, she only said some superficial things!After all, she is a younger sister. Although she is a relative by blood, she has not grown up together since she was a child. The queen will definitely not do her best!

The rank of queen is indeed quite high, anyway, Xi Concubine has received the favor of the queen, but she feels that she, the sister of the queen, still cares about her!
Of course, this didn't stop her from complaining about the queen, her sister, and her resentment!

When Yun Rong returned to her palace, Chang Yin was giving lectures to the maids and eunuchs!

Yunrong knew that Chang Yin and Qin'er knew each other. She said that Qin'er had just entered the palace not long ago when Chang Yin was working as a concubine. She was young and soft-tempered. Later, she was assigned to the Yongshou Palace by the Ministry of Internal Affairs as a cleaning lady!
In fact, Chang Yin and Qin'er do know each other, but these are the things that the palace doesn't recognize the most. The reason why Qin'er is said to be trustworthy is because Qin'er is also from Yinzhen!

Not only Qin'er, but also Hong'er and all the maids and eunuchs of Yongshou Palace, except for the two court ladies and one nanny that Chen Changzai brought with him, the rest were all sent by Yinzhen!

These people are even directly loyal to him, not separated by a layer, not sent to order by his subordinates!
He knew Yun Rong's secret, so he naturally wanted to keep a close eye on Yongshou Palace!If it weren't for the conspicuousness that only Yunrong lived in Yongshou Palace, Yinzhen even wanted to take care of the entire Yongshou Palace!Only live with her!

What Yunrong didn't know was that she thought her script was about the daily life of the domineering emperor and Bai Yueguang's stand-in who abused their hearts and lungs. The days would definitely be turbulent and magnificent, but she didn't expect that the days would be so peaceful!

It's not that there are no conspiracies against her, but that the conspiracies are usually solved before they reach her!
Even if you are bored, you can still listen to some gossip to relieve boredom!Life is quite comfortable!

After another ten days, the emperor still hasn't summoned any newcomers, and the empress can't sit still!She asked the small kitchen to prepare meals, asked Concubine Xi to come over to talk with her, and then sent someone to Qianqing Palace to invite the emperor over!

The queen has invited, plus Yinzhen just got the news that the concubine Xi just got some fun medicine, Yinzhen felt that taking this opportunity to let the queen be honest for a few days, the child is almost gone, and there are so many scheming!

Xi concubine hates the drug that boosts happiness. There is also a reason. Xi concubine sent someone to inquire in the palace. I heard that the emperor did not often come to the harem, and he did not often summon concubines. Since the 11th year of Kangxi, Rong concubine gave birth to a Elder brother with a weak body, there is no news from the harem!

That's why Concubine Xi referred the master to the blissful medicine. She had inquired about it, and the blissful medicine was very secretive. Most people would only think that it was their own volition and would not suspect anything else after taking the medicine!
Xi Concubine thought the medicine was a good thing, so she didn't tell her queen sister!
Yinzhen arrived at the Queen's Jingren Palace as promised, and then saw the Queen's younger sister Xi Concubine!

Yinzhen pretended not to know: "Why is the concubine Xi here?"

The queen smiled and said: "I haven't seen Ama Erniang for a long time! That's why I called my sister over to talk, and I blame the concubine for being too engrossed in the chat and not checking the time!"
