Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Concubine Li had come to Weiyang Palace to see her twice before, but Hua Ling hadn't left the palace at that time.

"Oh? What did the Queen Mother ask you to investigate?" Peilan brought tea and put it on the table beside Yunshang. Gently flick off the top scum with the lid of the cup.

"After entering the palace, the empress dowager once ordered my concubine to quietly inquire about who can be used and who needs to be on guard among the stewards in the harem." Taifei Li replied softly, and after thinking about it, she said: "The concubine before So I sent someone to investigate this matter, and only recently have I made some progress."

Yun Shang gave a slight pause to the hand holding the teacup, and then quickly returned to normal. This Concubine Li is very opportunistic. She must have seen from what happened to Li Fuhua some time ago that Yunshang was trying to find a way to put this harem back, and she wanted to start with those stewards, but she was well prepared when she came here today.

"I heard from the Palace that Concubine Ori was only a concubine before the Empress Dowager entered the palace. I don't know that Concubine Ori has such abilities." believe.

Concubine Li was not in a hurry, she smiled and said: "Yes, I was just a concubine before. Not only that, when I first entered the palace, I started as the lowest-ranking daughter-in-law. However, the empress But I’ve heard a saying that it’s difficult to deal with little devils. In this harem, the ones who really need to be on guard are definitely not any high-ranking masters, but those palace people who may never even look straight at them on weekdays.”

"Although the concubines have tried their best to fight for favor, the real murderers in this harem will never be those concubines. The palace people in the harem are all human beings, and they should flatter their master. When you are flattering, your mouth is sweeter than honey, but no one knows how cruel and merciless you are behind your back. You may secretly kill yourself when you are completely unaware. And in fact, many palaces may Those vicious strategies used by the concubine were all offered by the people below. None of the palace people who survived in this harem is a kind person, and a kind person cannot survive." Taifei Li's voice gradually dropped a few times. point.

"The concubine was humble in the past, and has never been favored. Therefore, in the past ten years, I have learned a lot about how to survive in this harem, and because I am too unfavored, many slaves should I have done everything I have done, and in this harem, there are still quite a few slaves who can talk a few words." The smile on the corner of Tai Concubine Li's mouth was still gentle, but it was tinged with deep emotions.

Yun Shang hooked the corners of her mouth, lowered her head and took a sip of tea, and had to say that Yun Shang agreed with some of what she said. Yunshang was no stranger to the court, she never underestimated any courtier, that's why she went to such lengths to deal with even one Li Fuhua. The House of Internal Affairs that Li Fuhua is in charge of is almost the richest place in the palace, and it is in charge of the daily expenses of each palace and hall, so it is naturally the object of everyone's favor. What he wants to do must be easy.

Judging from the fact that he was able to gather so many people who were willing to go to the inner servant to rescue him in such a short period of time, it was obvious that he was not easy to deal with, but Yun Shang was a little puzzled as to who the person who killed Li Fuhua was.

Yun Shang put down her teacup, and then said softly: "Then according to what you said, who do you think can use those chief managers in the harem, and who needs to be on guard?"

Concubine Li heard the words, and quickly said: "Although Director Yu of the Shangyi Bureau looks submissive, he is someone who needs to be on guard, because he is a piece of grass. Whoever benefits from it will listen to it." Whose. It may be an obedient dog today, but in the blink of an eye it bites back fiercely. As for Qi Ruihai, the inner guard, countless people want to take him under his command, but no one has succeeded so far, but the concubine knows one. Qi Ruihai's secret..."

Concubine Li's words stopped here, and Yun Chang sneered secretly, but she was a person who knew how to whet the appetite.

"You came to this palace today and said these things, but you have something to ask for?" Yun Chang raised her eyes, looking directly at Concubine Li's eyes.

Concubine Li smiled wryly and said: "What can I ask for? When the Supreme Emperor was still the emperor, he tried every means to ask for grace and a son, but he never had that blessing. After Empress Hua returned to the palace, the concubine knew I'm afraid it's an extravagant request to ask for favor. The harem is the most ruthless place. If there are only three or four times a year's servants gone, then we concubines don't know what kind of neglect we will suffer. I'm afraid it's not even as good as a servant. The concubine showed her favor to Empress Hua, but she only asked for a place in the harem."

Speaking of this, there was a slight pause, and then he sighed softly and said: "But in just a few months, the situation has turned upside down again, the concubine has become a concubine, and the Supreme Emperor is decisive and clean. The empress is out of the palace. The concubine has no heirs, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the desolation. When I come here today, all I ask is to have a place to live in this palace, and to have hot dishes and meals for three meals a day. .”

Yunshang raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and then laughed: "The concubine's words made me a little ashamed. I am in charge of the harem, but I can't let the concubine live in this palace and worry about it all day long. , it was my fault. Concubine Dowager, don't worry, I will try my best to satisfy what Concubine Dowager asks."

Concubine Li seemed to be relieved now, and laughed: "Thank you Empress Empress, Empress Empress is busy with chores, so I won't bother you much."

After Concubine Li left, Yunshang raised her eyes to look at Qian Zhuo and said, "This Concubine Li..."

Qianzhuo thought for a while and then said softly: "After the queen mother entered the palace, she had a lot of contacts, but when the slaves saw the master at the queen mother's place, they felt that she was cautious and she was not willing to offend anyone. I feel that she is a little different from what the servants saw before. At least, she would not dress like this and say these things before."

When Yun Shang heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and there was a bit of interest in her eyes: "Probably because Xia Huanyu was still the emperor before, and the other women in this palace wanted to compete with her for favor, so she is naturally The more humble the behavior, the better, so that no one will notice her, and if she shows her edge, she is very likely to be eliminated. But the situation is different now, Xia Huanyu is no longer the emperor, and she is no longer in the palace , I am not her opponent, at least I will not worry about her competing for His Majesty's favor, she came to see me, hoping that I can feel that she has some value to use."

Yunshang raised her eyes and looked at Qianzhuo: "Tell me, if she behaves timidly and cautiously as before, how can I believe what she said? However, it can also be seen from this that this woman is indeed Extremely clever."

"But empress, could she be... a secret agent sent by someone else?" Qianzhu was still a little worried.

Yun Shang laughed when she heard the words: "Where are there so many detailed works? Although we need to be more cautious now, we can't be all soldiers. She is Xia Huanyu's concubine, and she is still an unfavored concubine. Most importantly, she She has no heirs, not even a princess. As she herself said, it is very common for palace servants in this palace to push high and low. If she wants to live well in this harem, she can spend the rest of the time comfortably In the past few years, it is human nature to find a backer."

"Does the empress want it?" Qian Zhuo asked softly.

Yunshang hooked her fingers towards Qianjue, and Qianjue bent down. Yunshang whispered something in her ear, and then retreated a little.

Qian Zhuo turned her head and bowed to Yun Shang, then responded softly: "Your servant understands." After speaking, she stepped back and stood quietly.

Yun Chang sat on the chair, picked up the teacup on the table, and thought of the Concubine Li just now, but couldn't help curling her mouth. The women in the harem are really all wearing masks, and Many times, there is more than one. Under the mask, there are people or ghosts, but they don't know it.

However, Concubine Li reminded Yunshang that if she wanted to clean up the harem, the mask on her face would be a bit unusable. It looked too docile and less ruthless. Spicy.

Seriously. Yunshang narrowed her eyes slightly, holding the teacup tightly, raised her eyes and said to Qianzhuo: "Go and bring all the palace people from Weiyang Palace, I have to investigate the matter of that hairpin missing. "

Qianzhuo is a little strange, just now Yunshang just asked her to search Banxia's house, why did she change her mind after a while. Although surprised in his heart, Qianzhu quickly responded.

Qianzhuo went to the door and ordered Qinghao to invite all the palace people over. Not long after, more than 30 people from Weiyang Palace stood outside the main hall of Weiyang Palace. Yunshang stood up and walked to the entrance of the main hall. Qinghao and Su Mu hurriedly moved the chairs to the door for Yunshang to sit down.

Yun Chang raised her eyes and glanced at the crowd lightly, with a coldness in her eyes.

Everyone didn't know what happened, but they were a little uneasy watching the battle, they just stood quietly, secretly guessing what happened in their hearts.

Yun Chang took a sip of tea before slowly opening her mouth, her voice no longer as gentle as usual: "This morning, I found that there was a phoenix hairpin missing from the makeup coffin, although I don't know Who stole the hairpin, but after all, it should not be an outsider."

Yun Chang paused for a moment, secretly observed the people standing below, and then said again: "It's not that I care about a hairpin, but the hairpin was given to me by the Queen Mother, it's different anyway. The time in Weiyang Palace is not long, but I am afraid that many people have already grasped this palace's temperament, feel that this palace is gentle and easy to talk, and does not lose temper very much on weekdays, so they start to be unscrupulous."

Yun Chang put the teacup in her hand on the armrest suddenly, and made a soft "bang". The people below were startled by the protruding sound, and they all raised their heads to look over.

Yun Shang curled the corners of her mouth coldly: "I'm afraid you have been in this palace all along, but you have never heard of it. When I was fifteen years old, I followed His Majesty on the battlefield and died at the hands of this palace." If there is no one thousand, there are eight hundred. This palace was born as a princess of Ningguo, and my temper has always been domineering. When I came to Xiaguo, I thought that I was not in Ningguo after all, so I restrained myself a lot. However, it does not mean that you can treat me as a princess. Sick cat!"\u003c
