"One thing my palace has always wanted to ask you is why you should take the risk to do business in the palace. Do you like doing business?" Pei Zhuang asked her.
Frost son shook his head and said: "the maidservant's mother died early. It was my father who pulled me up alone. The year before last, my father was broken in his leg when he was working for others, and he got tuberculosis. Almost all the savings in the family were hollowed out. The maidservant just wanted to make more money for my father to see a doctor."
Another poor man.
But Pei Zhuang admired Shuanger very much. She didn't steal or rob, and with her own brain, the business was booming. Few people in the palace could match her.
"I know a palace maid of the Shangshu Bureau, who is also a business genius. If you two know each other, you will feel that it is too late to meet each other." Pei makeup chuckles.
She guessed that the secret words that peony had just said to the queen should be those goods in Shuanger's house, but since the queen didn't find them in the middle and won't be in any trouble in the future, she didn't stop Shuanger from continuing her business.
Compared with Pei make-up, they are relieved. Yue Fei is almost walking out with her legs and belly beating her heels and supported by two maids.
It's a pity that there are her people in the punishment hall. They will kill them in three or two times. Otherwise, more things will come out.
"Elder sister is really good at calculation. Unfortunately, people are not as good as the sky. It's retributive to do something bad." Princess Yu had been waiting for her on the way back, shaking the fan in her hand.
The month imperial concubine angrily glared at her one eye: "the business of this palace is not enough for you to keep your beak, so take care of yourself."
"I just want to persuade my sister not to think that Pei makeup can be taken at will when she is out of favor. In the emperor's heart, she is much more expensive than you. The more expensive she is, the better she is."
"Why don't we join forces?" The moon concubine is holding a breath in her heart. She hates to fight back at once.
Jade imperial concubine covers lip to chuckle, seem to hear what day big joke. "I'm not stupid. Why should I fight with Princess min? It's not good to live well with a fool like you. "
Princess Yu is a married Princess, with the whole mother country behind her. Even the queen is not in her eyes. What's more, she is a concubine on the moon who can survive only by the mercy of the Empress Dowager.
"I see. You're going to flatter Princess min, right? I'll see if they can see you." The moon concubine angrily flicks the sleeve to leave.
After returning to Xuanji palace, Pei Zhuang first visited Shuanger's room. It was a voluntary small commodity market. There were a variety of gadgets. Shuanger was very proud to tell her that she had all the new gadgets outside the palace.
"Who helps you bring these things in on weekdays?" Pei makeup asked curiously.
"Sister Qiushui."
It's a coincidence. The world is so small. They don't need Pei makeup to introduce them. They seem to have known each other for a long time.
Lan'er rushes in, saying that someone in the Queen Mother's palace has sent an oral message to Pei Zhuang to get the order.
"Look, the Moon Princess is coming so soon. Let's go to the meeting." Pei makeup did not delay, came to the yard to receive orders.
The mother in the Empress Dowager's palace looked very proud and said: "it's said that the Empress Dowager said that Princess min and Princess Yue fought in the palace. They hurt the face of the royal family. They were punished to copy the Heart Sutra a hundred times. They calmed their nerves and sent it to Shoukang Palace tomorrow."
A hundred times a day? That hand can't be broken.
What's more, Pei Zhuang's hand is so smelly. It's estimated that the Empress Dowager is more angry when she sees it.
"Empress min, thank you very much."
Pei makeup quickly kneels down and kowtows, but thinks in the heart, what do I thank you for, is it because you are eccentric or because you are old and bad?
Today, it's clearly the fault of Princess Yue. Pei makeup is totally innocent.
After seeing off the mother beside the empress dowager, Shuang Er looks at Pei makeup with guilt and says: "it's all maids and maids who have been implicated by her. Write for her one hundred times."
Pei makeup touched her head peacefully and sighed: "the Moon Princess is going to make me, you are the one who is involved. If you are really upset, you can help me to polish the ink on the side."
"Maidservant, go now!"
One hundred times of Heart Sutra, Pei made up a whole night of copying, and finally finished the last one before dawn. Looking at how many hours before the invitation for good, he just fell on the desk and had a sleep.
She had a dream, in which she went back to the modern times. Gu Jinghong was her little boyfriend. She served tea and water for her all day, pinched her shoulders and beat her legs. It's a very comfortable day.
But as soon as I opened my eyes, I was still in Xuanji palace. It was still the place of big pig's hoof.
When it was time to say hello to the empress dowager, Pei Zhuang asked Lan'er to come in and make up for her. At last, she lightly clicked the number of heart sutras and confirmed that it was one hundred.
When I came to Shoukang palace, it was Pei Zhuang who was received by the mammy who came to publicize yesterday.
"The Empress Dowager hasn't got up yet. Please wait outside."
"OK, I'll wait outside." Pei makeup protects the 100 heart Sutras in her hands and stands at the door waiting.
I came out early in the morning and saw that the sky was gloomy. It was sure that it began to rain in a short time.
The north wind blows, the ice rain blows. Pei Zhuang is cold outside, but no one comes out to greet her. Lan'er is so worried that she asks several times and is scolded.
Pei Zhuang understood that what punishment is a hundred heart sutras? Now it's the real suffering. The Empress Dowager wants to tell Pei Zhuang in a different way that Yuefei is the one she covers. Offending Yuefei is offending the Empress Dowager.
After waiting for a long time, the door of the dormitory opened wide, and the Moon Princess came out of it, and the servant quickly put on her cloak.
She stood proudly on the steps and looked at Pei Zhuang. She said coldly, "the Empress Dowager's mother asked me to tell you that today is just a small punishment and a big admonition. If you are confused in the future, you will not be spared."
Pei makeup's hair has been moistened by the rain, and it is tightly attached to her forehead. She steps forward and grabs Yuefei's hand, shoves a bunch of heart sutras into her hand, and stares at her.
"In the same way, I'll give it to you. People are watching the sky. I hope that sister Yuefei doesn't have a ghost to come to you when she sleeps in the evening."
Her words made Princess Yue feel cold, and her face hurriedly retorted: "I can't understand what you're talking about. Hurry up, Empress Dowager doesn't want to see you!"
Pei Zhuang has been thinking about one thing on the way back. If she wants to survive in the harem, she must find a backer. Yuefei relies on the Empress Dowager and Yufei on her home country. She used to rely on Gu Jinghong, but now she has lost the backer after quarreling with Gu Jinghong.
It seems that it's impossible to continue to eat in the harem and wait for death. Pei Zhuang plans to sneak out of the palace and never come back when song Xuanye comes back.
In the imperial study, Qin Feng reported Pei Zhuang's punishment by the Empress Dowager to Gu Jinghong, and repeated exactly what Yuefei said.
