Queen's scheming

Chapter 387 Suffering
Years later, the Magnificent Pavilion was very deserted.Linglong hugged the brocade quilt and lay in a daze on her canopy bed. The weather was so cold that she wrapped all her thick clothes around her body, and she still felt a little cold at night.

In the cool moon, it is always warm, and the word warm cannot even be used. More precisely, it is hot.Yueliang is very hot all year round. It has never been this cold. The fox fur cloak that Shen Qingyi gave her earlier was taken by the maid beside her to cover the brocade quilt to keep out the cold, and she could only keep the quilt on the couch. Nest, because when you get up together, you will feel a biting chill.The little maids said that she was just pretending, but it was so cold, so they ignored her at all.

Linglong didn't know how she ended up in this situation, obviously she was living a life of luxury a while ago, and everyone in the harem was fawning on her, how did she suddenly become like this.

The door opened with a "squeak", and a little maid called Lan'er sneaked in, quickly closed the door of the main hall, took out a small hand stove from her bosom, handed it to Linglong and said: "Princess, You can use some first, and the servants secretly put a few pieces of charcoal in it, it should be able to withstand it for a while."

"Thank you!" Linglong thanked her sincerely at this moment. Although the charcoal in the hand stove was a bit choking, the temperature was enough anyway. Linglong hugged her tightly, and tears rolled down her eyes.

Lan'er pursed her lips, not knowing what to say, she just said: "Princess... don't worry, didn't you have a good life before? Even if you were grounded, as long as the empress still misses you , ask a few words about the situation here from time to time, and your life will be easier. In the future, the nanny or aunt of Ningsu Palace will come again. Don't be so stubborn. As long as you have some regrets, the empress will definitely treat you Alright, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will no longer embezzle your belongings, so you don’t have to live like this!”

Linglong's tears fell more and more violently. When she first started grounding, the empress would always send someone to ask her how her life was going and if she needed anything, but she hated the queen very much in her heart. Brother Tianyou would definitely not treat her like that, so whenever people from Ningsu Palace came, she would sneer at her, until one day she annoyed Nanny Jiang, the queen's confidant, and Nanny Jiang said a word before leaving, she It takes some suffering to understand how well the empress treats her.

Then, her status is no longer the same as Princess Yuexuan's, but equal to the last young master in the palace. If she uses it alone, it is enough, but the status of the palace servants served by the Rosewood Pavilion , also decreased accordingly, those palace people, originally came to serve the princess, and they came here for a generous monthly schedule, and now they are serving her by her side, not to mention being compared with Princess Yuexuan. Even the maids around the last changing clothes in the palace couldn't compare. They could no longer hold their heads up in front of their sisters, so they vented all their anger on Linglong.

More than half of Linglong's monthly rules were taken away by those court ladies, what she uses now is only a small part, and she still has to watch the faces of those court ladies every day.

Linglong refused to ask the queen, she knew that as long as she went to the Ningsu palace to subdue her, her life would be the same as before. Because of this, those court ladies never wanted to tear themselves apart with her, even if they took away Her thick fox fur cloak also said with a smile that she would take it to the House of Internal Affairs for rewashing. Linglong is not stupid, so she naturally knows that the fox fur cloak needs to be dried in summer, and she definitely won't rewash it now.

Tang Aoxue finally found an ally who can beat Shen Qingyi, yes, it is Linglong who is currently grounded in the Magnificent Pavilion, even if she is grounded, Shen Qingyi is still soft-hearted towards her, only for this, Linglong can easily get Shen Qing Yi's forgiveness lifted her defenses, and when she was surprised, she stabbed Shen Qingyi in the back of the heart.

Wang Momo looked at Tang Aoxue who was sitting upright on the Arhat's Table, and she was sneering with her lips raised. With such a face, it was really frightening. In the past few days, Zhaoyang Palace had been beaten to death several times. The maid stared at Tang Aoxue so much that she was about to be beaten, and those who dared not look up at her were also beaten. As long as Tang Aoxue found something wrong at 01:30 in that person's eyes or actions, that person's life would be considered dead For a while, Zhaoyang Palace became a place where all the palace people talked about it and turned pale.

Shen Qingyi was lazy to talk to her, and Imperial Concubine Duanjing said a few words to her nonchalantly. Seeing that she was still going her own way, she simply stopped sending palace servants to Zhaoyang Palace as errands. If she is dead, then let Tang Aoxue do the work of being a poor girl by herself. Tang Aoxue restrained herself a little, but this made her feel even more resentful. She kept looking through the list in the palace, Since the government of Zhen Guo no longer helps her, she can only help herself!

When Tang Aoxue fixed her eyes on the exquisite Magnificent Pavilion, Wang Momo also gave her a look of approval. If she doesn't find something for Tang Aoxue to do, Wang Momo doesn't know what Tang Aoxue will look like, let alone if she will To be the next person to be executed, she has already been sent to the palace by Mrs. Zhen Guogong, and it is even more difficult to get out of the palace. Only by becoming Tang Aoxue's arm can she straighten her back, Fortunately, Tang Aoxue is now a first-class concubine, even if she is the last of the four concubines, it can't change the fact that she is a first-class concubine.

It was the first time for Tang Aoxue to be so calm. She coldly asked Wang Momo for her opinion on how to make Linglong stand by her side and obey her own words. Give her any help, ask her to keep her own place in the palace, but she has become like this now, if she is really like what Lord Zhen Guo said, and keeps her own place, how will she live the rest of her life? Xiu Linglong is even more miserable!

Nanny Wang carefully analyzed the situation for Tang Aoxue. Linglong used to fight side by side with Tang Aoxue, but when Linglong was making trouble the most, Tang Aoxue did not show up, but turned Linglong away. It may not be easy to trust her, and Tang Aoxue doesn't have any capital to help Linglong now.

Tang Aoxue hunched her back. At any time in the past, she straightened her back, not for other reasons, but because she was like a plum blossom, and plum blossoms were proud. How could she be looked down upon by others, but now It's different, no one is willing to come to Zhaoyang Palace anymore, and no one is willing to take a second look at her, no matter if she straightens her back or bends her body!

"It's easy to add flowers to the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow." Wang Momo gently squeezed Tang Aoxue's calf, and said, "I heard that Princess Linglong's life is very difficult now, and even the maids around her dare to bully her, but in the end , as long as she is willing to give in to Ningsu Palace, her life will be easier. It can be seen that her life is not so difficult. What the empress has to do now is to force Princess Linglong to a dead end, and she really can't bear it , when she really can't bear it anymore and is going to the Ningsu Palace to look for the empress, you just show up in time and save her from the sea of ​​suffering, that's all! "

Tang Aoxue nodded and said: "What what Mammy said is very true, it's just that it's not easy for Linglong to live, but it's difficult. Those court ladies all know that they can't push Linglong into a hurry, otherwise as long as Linglong is here If Ningsu Palace said a few words, all of them would die, what can Madam do to make those palace people obey our orders?"

"Under heavy rewards, there must be a brave man!" Wang Momo told Tang Aoxue meaningfully, the truth that has not changed for thousands of years!

Tang Aoxue smiled like a ghost, stared in the direction of Ningsu Palace and said, "Isn't it just money?"

Tang Aoxue has never been short of silver taels these years, and the money in the Zhen Guogong Mansion is strictly for her side. Besides, she seldom rewards others, and there is no land in the palace to spend. A lot of silver.

Linglong went to look in her closet, only to realize that she didn't have a clean change of clothes, but she asked casually, and heard the maid's ridicule: "Who does the princess think she is? It is also limited in manpower, first the empress, then the harem masters, and finally the unfavorable young masters in the harem, and you, the princess, can only be ranked behind those young masters. The Clothes Bureau is not empty, what can the servants do!"

Linglong said casually, "Can't you guys wash?"

"Hey, princess, are you trying to abuse the slaves? The slaves and the others have learned the rules to serve the nobles in the palace. Now, they are assigned to the Magnificent Pavilion. It is said that compared with Princess Yuexuan who was in front of the Queen Mother, at least she should be able to compare with some unfavorable little masters, but princess, you just want to do it yourself, even the servants and servants have to look at people's faces, even in the clothing bureau , to wash a piece of clothing for you, and you have to pay the money yourself, and now the slaves can’t afford the money, if you don’t mind the cold weather, you can wash it yourself!”

Linglong was a little angry, she really wanted to wash her clothes by herself, but when she got to the well, she realized that she couldn't fetch water at all, and the little palace lady named Lan'er who showed her kindness to her had already been run off by those palace ladies After going out, there is no one to help her in the current Magnificent Pavilion!

The evening meal was delivered, not only cold food and cold dishes, but also a smell of rancidity. Linglong swallowed, but it was useless, so she climbed onto the bed. She didn't question the maids, because she knew, questioning It's useless, you can't exchange for warm food, you can only exchange for cynicism, yes, who is she, she is not as good as those little masters who are not favored in the palace, at least, they have had a relationship with Brother Tianyou Have shared the same bed.

After three consecutive days of bad food, Linglong couldn't hold it anymore, her hatred for Shen Qingyi was like a wave, and she couldn't stop no matter what...

The door of the Magnificent Pavilion opened with a "squeak"...
