I am cultivating myself in the palace

Concubine Rong did such a thing out of the blue, Shu Shi was simply flattered.

She is also a person with a clear mind, so she naturally knew that Rong Concubine showed her kindness to her this time, it was not because of a sympathy, but because she saw that the queen mother liked her, she acted kindly to herself, the essence was to take this opportunity to curry favor with the queen mother.Although she has seen through Rong Concubine's mind, Shu Shi is not angry at all, she doesn't mind being used by Rong Concubine as Emperor Yin's favored concubine because of this, this is a win-win situation.

But Rong Pin's luxurious flower knot, can she accept it?It depends on what the Queen Mother means.Shu Shi thought about it, and acted shyly and pleasantly surprised, and pretended to decline: "Huaxiu is already frightened to be loved by the empress. The empress is so generous, I really dare not accept it."

While speaking, he aimed his eyes at the Empress Dowager, and saw that the Empress Dowager looked pale.Neither speak.Shu's heart was a little uneasy. On the other side, Fengyang had sharp eyes and came over with a snort: "Isn't this the flower knot that grandma likes so much! I haven't seen it for a long time and thought it was put away, but why is it here with you?" ?"

After hearing Fengyang's words, the queen mother regained her spirits, and looked up: "Oh, girl Rong is so generous, this knot was given to you by the Ai family when you gave birth to Yuanxi, and you are not willing to wear it on weekdays. Now Are you willing to take it out and give it away?"

Rong Pin smiled tenderly: "It is because the Empress Dowager rewarded this flower knot that the concubine specially gave it to Sister Shu. Although the knot is placed here, the concubine is only temporarily keeping it for the empress dowager. Now you have it." For a virtuous daughter-in-law like Sister Shu, how dare a concubine hide it! Why don't you hurry up and hand it over to the right master?"

Concubine Rong is very cute, she obviously uses the queen mother's things as her own favor, but she is very useful, the queen mother snorted and said: "It's not a precious thing, there is no one who is upright, Huaxiu, here Just take it."

Shu quickly thanked her, and held the knot in her hand, she couldn't put it down.This flower knot can be known to be extraordinary at a glance. Not only is it unique in shape, but also several carved gold beads are carefully inlaid on the knot, and a small jade ruyi is hanging below it, full of water.Absolutely expensive!The more Shu looked at it, the more he liked it, and even put it on his waist.

The queen mother was watching with a smile at first, but her eyes swept over the knot, and she frowned suddenly.She looked closely, and her brows frowned even deeper: "Concubine Rong, why is your knot missing a golden bead?"

Concubine Rong was boasting that Shu's clothes looked good, but when she heard the question from the Queen Mother, she immediately panicked: "How could that be?"

"It must be missing." The Empress Dowager asked Shu to take down the flower knot and handed it to her for a closer look, and said firmly: "This knot originally consisted of nine gold beads and one Ruyi, and getting it is a sign of the unity of Kyushu, you see. Now there are only eight gold beads left on it." As he spoke, he pointed it out to several people.Sure enough, there is no golden bead embedded in the last knot near the end of Ruyi. On this flower knot, the other eight gold beads are all symmetrical. Only the last knot is independent, and Ruyi is connected below, so even if there is no golden bead Not obtrusive.If it weren't for someone who was very familiar with Yuzi, he would definitely not have noticed this detail.

The queen mother was not happy, and asked: "Concubine Rong, what's going on? When the Ai family rewarded you, it was clearly nine. Why is it now eight?"

Concubine Rong fell to her knees with a plop and burst into tears: "Queen Mother, I really don't know that this flower knot is a gift from the Queen Mother. The concubine has been carefully keeping it, and I don't know why one is missing..." They made a fuss here, and immediately attracted attention. Attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

Emperor Yin glanced over: "What's wrong? You're crying!"

Fengyang then chirped and taught Emperor Yin the matter, and the emperor frowned after hearing this. If this matter was nothing more than a trivial matter in normal times, it happened to cause trouble at the palace banquet, and the trivial matter became a big one--this flower The knot, obviously it was a meeting gift from Concubine Rong to Shu Shi, but secretly it was the Empress Dowager who gave Shu Shi a favor through Concubine Rong's hands.In the end, it was discovered that one bead was missing, and such a defective product was awarded to the Shu family. The queen mother naturally felt that Concubine Rong had lost the chain and lost her face.

Tsk, it's not easy!Emperor Yin felt that Concubine Rong wouldn't offend the Queen Mother for a gold bead, she probably really didn't notice the loss of the gold bead, and probably let the dirty hands and feet around her go along with it.He has the heart to protect his favorite concubine.Then he said: "Concubine Rong, think about it carefully, has this flower knot passed through anyone's hands?"

Fengyang hammered his hand: "That's right! Maybe someone who handled it secretly took it away!"

Concubine Rong was thinking hard: "This flower knot has always been carried by my concubine, and it has never been faked by her hands?"

The maid next to her suddenly said: "Your Majesty! You forgot, this knot suddenly fell apart in front of the Empress Dowager's palace today, didn't you ask Princess Yan's maid to help you deal with it?" After saying a word, everyone His gaze fell on the other side, like Qingyan's master and servant who was watching a play.

In Qingyan's heart, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Princess Yan." Emperor Yin also looked over, and said in a calm voice, "Is there such a thing?"

Qingyan had no choice but to bite the bullet and stand up: "Go back to the emperor. There is indeed such a thing. The concubine's flowers are scattered, and she asked the concubine's maid for help, and the concubine's maid helped her to reconnect the loose parts. All of this was done under the watchful eyes of this concubine." Qing Yan believed in Yu'er's character, so she stared at the people opposite her frankly: "Could it be that your concubine wants to say that the concubine's maid can hide under your eyelids?" Would you like a golden bead?"

Concubine Rong covered her mouth and nose lightly with a handkerchief: "The concubine didn't say that, don't worry about the princess, but besides the concubine, only Miss Yu'er has touched this flower knot, so she is naturally the most suspicious, and it is necessary." You need to search to prove your innocence." As he spoke, he raised his head, and two vicious maids surrounded him.

See the poor dagger in the picture.Qingyan's pupils shrank, and in a blink of an eye, she saw through Concubine Rong's tricks - the gold beads must have been hidden by Concubine Rong, she asked people to search Yu'er's body, and then pretended to find the gold beads on Yu'er, At that time, the servant girl will not be able to argue, and Concubine Rong can pin the dirty water on her head. Not only will Yu'er lose her life, but she will also be charged with the crime of lack of discipline.

This Concubine Rong has a good plan!She said that this person had no good intentions, and he really set a trap for them. A body search is absolutely impossible, so she had to find another way to crack it. Qing Yan put the maid behind her and looked at Rong Concubine with a sneer: "Your Majesty has no evidence, so she will be searched when she comes up, and she treats my Yu'er as a thief, which is too insulting. Is it easy to be bullied by Rong Concubine's Majesty when she treats me as my Yan Palace?"

"Yo, what the concubine said, how dare the concubine do it." With the support of the maid, Shi Shiran stood up with concubine Rong. Although she made an appearance of not daring on her face, her eyes were full of tricks. Resentment and pride: "The concubine just wants to return Miss Yu'er's innocence, and has no other intentions."

No other meaning?Of course, you only want to put Qingyan's master and servant to death!
