Chapter 120: Legend of Zhen Huan 65
"Queen Mother."
Zhen Huan suddenly opened her eyes. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the Queen Mother was the best candidate for cooperation. She sat up immediately.
"Liuzhu, go ask Sister Mei to come over and tell her that I have something to ask her."
Liuzhu knew that her young master was on good terms with Concubine Shen, and that Concubine Shen was favored. Thinking of the young master's anxious face just now, perhaps Concubine Shen could help her. Thinking of this, Liuzhu quickened her pace and rushed to Xianfu Palace.
Unfortunately, Shen Meizhuang was dealing with palace affairs with Concubine Jing at that time, so Liuzhu had to wait in Changxi Hall. Caixing and Caiyue, as Shen Meizhuang's personal maids, were relatively familiar with Liuzhu, Huanbi and others.
Today Caixing accompanied Concubine Shen to visit Concubine Jing, and Changxi Hall was guarded by Caiyue and her men.
Caiyue welcomed Liuzhu in with a smile, and brought tea and fruit, "Liuzhu, my mistress is busy. If you don't have anything urgent, just sit here for a while. You're sweating after running in here. Have some tea and take a rest first."
Liuzhu obviously didn't want to rest, "My mistress has something to ask Concubine Shen, so I want Concubine Shen to come over quickly."
Caiyue stood beside her, diligently giving Liuzhu food, "According to the relationship between Concubine Wan and our young master, our young master would definitely go immediately to her invitation.
But you also know that this palace affairs involves everyone in the palace. If one is not careful, it is easy to make mistakes. If a palace lady is missing something, my young master will have a hard time reporting to the emperor. So Liuzhu, you just wait a while."
"But, but my young master..."
"Oh, don't be afraid. If there is really an emergency, your young master will come here by herself. Since you are asked to come, then the matter must not be urgent."
No matter what Liuzhu said, Caiyue always maintained a calm and unhurried attitude.
Caiyue knew that Wan Changzai and Shen Meizhuang were good friends, but since entering the palace, everything the young lady encountered with Wan Changzai was like a curse, and she could not ignore it.
Wan Changzai would only look for his mistress when he had something to do, and every time he asked his mistress for help, he would ask her to come over. Except for that time when he came to choose fabric, Wan Changzai himself had never been to Changxitang.
Thinking about the fact that the young lady always brought a lot of bags with her every time she went there, if there was anything good, she would definitely send a portion to Wan Changzai, but Wan Changzai took this for granted.
The same thing happened with the last assignment from Aunt Sui Yuxuan Jinxi. The young lady hadn't even taken charge yet, but she had to help Wan Changzai to make arrangements. Fortunately, I was smart enough to change the subject at the time, and I explained it to the young lady afterwards.
Otherwise, the young lady would definitely offend Jingpin. After all, she had just started learning from her. Jingpin hadn't even started yet, but she had already placed people there. How would Jingpin feel about this?
Even if Jingpin agreed at that time, she would probably be unhappy in her heart and would think that the young lady was restless.
Caiyue had some guesses in her mind as to why the emperor was so slow to promote the young lady and didn't even give her a title.
And Jingpin's repeated protection of the young lady was definitely not just because she was a good person. The biggest difference between Zhaopin's Yanx Palace and their Xianfu Palace was that Xianfu Palace had a master.
I think the two of them were different when they first entered the palace. Even if my mistress is pregnant, the child should not be able to stay with her.
Thinking that the young lady had always been the one who made sacrifices in her relationship with Wan Changzai, Caiyue felt secretly aggrieved for the young lady. Now Wan Changzai came to the young lady again because of a trivial matter. Although Caiyue could not stop her, she still did not want the young lady to delay her control of the palace power because of these trivial matters of others.
Liuzhu stayed in Changxi Hall for nearly two hours before she waited for Shen Meizhuang to return.
Shen Meizhuang was very surprised when she saw Liuzhu.
"Liuzhu, why are you here with me instead of serving your mistress at Suiyuxuan?"
When Liuzhu saw Shen Meizhuang coming in, she quickly stood up. She had been waiting for her all afternoon.
"Mrs. Shen, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Shen Meizhuang saw Liuzhu's anxious expression and was worried that Zhen Huan had encountered some trouble again.
"But what happened to Huan'er?"
Liuzhu didn't know what was going on, she shook her head innocently.
"I don't know either, but the young lady asked me to invite you, Lady Shen, over."
Shen Meizhuang looked at the sky and said, "It's already this late, why didn't you come earlier?"
Liuzhu's expression was stiff for a moment. She couldn't say that it was Caiyue who stopped her, after all, Concubine Shen was in charge of palace affairs. "Concubine Shen, I have been here for two hours, but you haven't come back yet."
Shen Meizhuang looked at Caiyue after hearing this and asked, "Why didn't you report it earlier?"
Caiyue knew that Shen Meizhuang would have this reaction, but she was not afraid. Caiyue had served Shen Meizhuang since she was a child and was quite familiar with the young lady's temperament.
Naturally, I had already thought of an excuse, "My lady, I don't know why Liuzhu came here. She only said that Wan Chang was looking for you, but she couldn't tell me what it was specifically about.
I thought, if it was really urgent, Wan Changzai would have come to see you herself. Since she didn't come, but asked Liuzhu to invite you, I think this matter is not very urgent.
In this case, I will not bother you and Jingpin any more. There are so many affairs in the six palaces. If you leave these things and leave Jingpin alone to deal with them, how tired she will be!
We are in Xianfu Palace, and we are all grateful to Concubine Jing for her care. I don’t want you to offend Concubine Jing.”
Shen Meizhuang understood what Caiyue said. She was not a person who knew nothing. Everything went smoothly for her since she entered the palace.
All his food, clothing and other daily necessities were very good. Although this was due to his favor, Jingpin's help was also indispensable.
Otherwise, it would be very easy for the master of the first palace to trip her up.
Shen Meizhuang didn't even sit down, she said directly: "Alright, you have your reasons, I can't argue with you. Let's put it this way, Liuzhu, I will go to Suiyuxuan with you now, I don't know if Huan'er is waiting anxiously."
Caiyue frowned secretly, but she didn't dare to stop him when she thought that her actions today might make the young lady unhappy.
She winked at Caixing, telling her to remember to remind the young master to have dinner. Caixing and Caiyue also grew up together, and they had a tacit understanding, and they were all for the young master's good.
Caixing knew what Caiyue meant at a glance, and she nodded slightly to show that she understood.
Meanwhile, Zhen Huan waited for Shen Meizhuang for a long time but she still couldn't get her. Thinking that Meijie might have something urgent to do and that she couldn't go to the Queen Mother today, she asked Xiao Yunzi to go to the kitchen early to get dinner.
When Shen Meizhuang arrived at Sui Yuxuan, Zhen Huan had already finished her meal.
She saw Shen Meizhuang coming and stood up to welcome her in.
"Sister Mei, I thought you wouldn't come today."
