Every evening, the imperial kitchen called the meal, and the lotus flowers were the first one to go there. Who said she was Concubine Jiang’s personal maid, and Concubine Jiang was the most noble woman in the palace.

Of course, the Empress Dowager is more expensive, but the Empress Dowager's meals are always made on their own, and even oil is used differently - the Empress Dowager hates meat and does not even use onion slices or ginger slices, so she has always been alone and does not mix with the rest of the palace.

In fact, even if the lotus comes so early, the imperial kitchen will leave the Linzhi Palace alone. However, everyone has selfish intentions. The lotus also wants to see what fresh dishes there are in the kitchen, especially what they like - how much can Concubine Jiang eat alone, and what they have left?

Take the opportunity to improve your food. As a great palace maid of the imperial concubine, there are still some privileges.

But when Lotus entered the door today, he found that someone came earlier than her. Before dinner was served, the man was waiting at the counter.

Judging from the back, his body is very thin, like a beautiful and tall green bamboo. The lotus is a little itchy. The palace maid can only leave the palace for 25 years, and he still has a few years to endure. At the age of just being in love, how could he not miss spring? But there are not many normal men in the palace, so there are palace maids who embrace the handsome eunuch and make some stories about fake phoenix and phoenix.

The lotus was also moved a little, and stepped forward and patted the man on the shoulder, "Which palace are you from?"

Changqing turned his head and said in a muffled voice: "Guanju Palace."

His appearance disappointed the lotus flower a little, but his voice was nice, with a little dullness in low and silence, like a brush gently scratching the skin.

He Hua smiled and said, "This is the first time I have seen you."

The Imperial Concubine has always been very careful about beauty Xia, and the lotus also knows every grass and a tree in Guanju Palace. In the past, Chunlan and Qiuju came to get food, but they didn't want to change to a little eunuch now.

Changqing seemed a little timid and said silly: "The villain is new. Because Xia Meiren is short of staff, Eunuch An pointed the villain to Guanju Palace..."

Lotus smiled, "That's a good place, you're lucky."

For the sake of the reputation of the imperial concubine, He Hua never says bad things about Meiren Xia outside. Of course, in her heart, Xia is definitely a fox charming person, and her own empress's deathly rival.

Chang Qing sighed, as if she did not agree with her words, but she did not dare to answer.

Just when the kitchen was closed, the food box was handed out, and the lotus was rarely humble, "You can ask for it first."

Anyway, beauty Xia is favored now, which just creates a domineering impression.

Changqing said thanking softly, took the food box and bowed and handed it out. He was tall and thin, but the door of the house was a little low. When he turned sideways, He Hua saw a whip mark that was accidentally exposed on his neck and was stunned.

When he returned to Linzhi Palace, the lotus did not dare to hide it and talked about this.

Feng Yuzhen felt excited as soon as she heard this, "Is it true?"

The lotus nodded desperately, "I see it very clearly. The whip mark is swollen and bloody, it should be a new injury."

Feng Yuzhen sneered, "I can't tell that Xia's privately is so vicious."

The Great Zhou ruled the country with kindness. Since Emperor Taizong, there have been clear regulations that even palace maids and servants should not be beaten and scolded at will. Violators may be fined and demoted. In the past, a favorite concubine was demoted to three levels for privately whipping the palace maids. Although she was promoted six months later, the seriousness of this matter can also be seen.

If you can grasp Xia Tong's handle, why worry about not suppressing her arrogance?

Jiang Bilan was a little suspicious, "It may not be Xia's move. It may be just the palace servants of Guanju Palace bullying him a newcomer, and they have never asked Xia to know..."

Feng Yuzhen said happily: "That is also the crime of her poor control! If she had the ability to restrain the maids and manage the inner palace, how could this happen? A person like Xia, who is not talented and virtuous, is forced to be a dressing person. How could he be the lord of the first palace?"

He tried his best to persuade Jiang Bilan, "Empress, this time is a great opportunity. We cannot miss it. We just happened to eliminate Xia's family in one go! As long as you tear her skin in front of His Majesty, I don't believe that she can still become arrogant!"

Jiang Bilan was a little moved by her words. She was about to go to Guanju Palace, but Jiang Yingyue rushed over and said loudly: "No!"

She glanced at Feng Yuzhen, turned her head to Jiang Bilan and said, "Sister, now there is no evidence. If we go rashly, we will fall into someone's plan! Besides, even if it is true, with Xia's current favor, Your Majesty will be neglected for at most for a while, and will be restored in a blink of an eye. Such a gain is not worth the loss, so why should you?"

A few words made Jiang Bilan gradually calm down, but she was still a little unwilling, "Then, should we just watch and pretend not to know?"

"Of course," said Jiang Yingyue, "If Xia really has such a bad record, after she falls out of favor, we will take the opportunity to get rid of the roots. Besides, holding such a handle will not be more beneficial to you and me? The most rare thing in this palace is the human heart. Xia cannot even conquer the people in his palace. In the long run, he will definitely be in harmony with his appearance. If we promise to win over them, it will be much easier to do anything."

Jiang Bilan was sincere and patted the back of her hand, "Sister, you are still far-sighted."

"I just think about the reputation of the Jiang family. I don't want you to fall into the trap, and if you fall into the trap, you will be ruined if you fall into someone else's plan." Jiang Yingyue said, and glanced at Feng Yuzhen as if nothing had happened.

Feng Yuzhen lowered her head guiltily, and she was secretly annoyed: Someone who was trying to persuade her to fight! It would be great if Jiang Bilan and Xia Tong took the opportunity to fight. When both sides were injured, she would just make a comeback. She both hated these two, and it would be better to be put into the cold palace together!

Jiang Bilan did not pay attention to Feng Yuzhen's strangeness. She was complacent at this moment and thought Xia Tong was very deep in the city. Unexpectedly, she was so uneasy in private that she was indeed a nouveau riche. Now she handed over a handle to herself. Jiang Bilan was confident that the other party could not fly out of Wuzhishan, and the worries that had been invisible for many days disappeared.

So she ate two more bowls of rice that night for the first time.

The lotus looked at the empty table and regretted that he didn't ask for more. He would have been unpretentious if he had known in the kitchen - it was all because of the beauty.

In Guanju Palace, Xia Tong is having a feast.

The plan that Changqing said had worked, which can be seen from the improvement of Jiang Bilan's attitude towards her. When taking the meal, the person in Linzhi Palace was particularly humble. Even when he met by chance, Jiang Bilan would smile at her for the first time - it can be seen that in Jiang Bilan's heart, she was no longer a threat.

Xia Tong asked Changqing curiously, "How do you know that the imperial concubine will hide without sending her, instead of searching the palace immediately?"

Changqing served the tea aside. Seeing the cup in front of her slightly empty, he immediately filled the pot with it. His eyes seemed to be more accurate than the vernier caliper.

Chang Qing said quietly: "The most important thing to be able to sit in the central palace is the word "stable", not speak nonsense or move. Even if the imperial concubine's methods are not very clever, she must have many think tanks around her and will never allow her to act recklessly."

This is true. Xia Tong remembered Jiang Yingyue. Her sister seemed to be much smarter than her sister. But this kind of thing was hard to say. What if Jiang Yingyue couldn't stop him, Jiang Bilan must search the palace?

Although the abuse of the palace people was a fraud, the whip marks were real. If Jiang Bilan bite this to death and then use the punishment, Xia Tong would probably be in trouble.

Changqing still looked calm, "Please look, Empress," he took a piece of fine cloth, carefully dipped it in soapy water, and wiped the blood-red "whip mark" on his neck little by little, revealing his white porcelain-like skin.

Xia Tong was stunned by this amazing technique, "Is it actually painted?"

She said how a new eunuch could have been so cruel, and that he was too hard.

Changqing said: "My father is good at painting. When a villain saw a lot when he was young, he also understood this method."

Most of the people who enter the palace and become eunuchs are children of poor families. They come to purify themselves when they have no way out. But will poor families have money to draw?

Xia Tong was about to ask about his background, but the emperor stepped in. Seeing the two of them whispering, the one named Changqing was still scattering his clothes, revealing half of his neck, he couldn't help but have a gloomy face and coughed twice, "What are you doing?"

Xia Tong was shocked and thought to himself why this person was so elusive that he didn't even need anyone to say a word.

This time it makes me feel like I'm catching a villain, with a strong jealousy smell.

Of course, Xia Tong refused to expose Changqing's plan, so she seemed too scheming. She just made up a reason casually, "I accidentally splashed the tea on it, and I was about to kill him to go down to change my clothes."

Changqing said tactfully: "The villain takes his leave."

Although Liu Zhang still had some doubts, he was just a eunuch after all, and being too careless would make him look petty.

He had no choice but to suppress his pleasure and looked at the table with dishes, "I see that you have become much more abundant here recently."

Xia Tong smiled and said, "This is the result of Evergreen. When he goes to get the meal, the palace maids will give him more extra."

It's strange that even such an ordinary face can make people excited. Even the lotus in the imperial concubine's palace is a little fascinated. This is probably a model of temperament surpassing appearance.

Liu Zhang's stomach became more and more painful, "What do you think of others?"

"It's pretty good, steady, down-to-earth, and capable." Xia Tong answered smoothly.

Liu Zhang had a calm face, "I'm asking about my appearance."

This is a bit difficult to answer. Xia Tong thought for a while, "It's not ugly, it's quite charming."

The point is that it looks very comfortable, and it is the type that women appreciate and men will not be aggressive.

But Liu Zhang was obviously an exception, so he seemed full of aggressiveness. He heard the jealousy here even more, "How about comparing with me?"

Xia Tong was stunned. When he heard the emperor's meaning, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Of course it's not as good as Your Majesty. You are the reincarnation of the true dragon emperor, with a dragon and phoenix posture, and a great dignity. It's a vulgarity for anyone standing in front of you."

Liu Zhang's face cleared a little, he picked up a piece of Jiang Zhuang for her, and then stared at her waist, looking, "Why do I feel that you have become much more plump recently?"

"Is that?" Xia Tong laughed dryly, and thought to herself that she was fat and said, "Why should I hide it and think she is a fool?"

Liu Zhang thought to himself that this person is actually a little fatter and looks better. His cheeks are round and chubby, which makes people want to squeeze them a few times.

After finally suppressing his evil thoughts, Liu Zhang remembered his previous doubts. If he was really pregnant, he would have a good mood. He said, "I will hire an imperial physician for you tomorrow. Please wait honestly and don't go anywhere."
