Zhang Bin's emotions were so agitated that she couldn't speak normally at all.
Concubine Hui looked at the young nun. She was the former palace maid beside Zhang Bin, and she often followed Zhang Bin when she went out. She looked familiar to her.
The nun knelt down and said, "Master concubine, our master is going to be tortured to death by Master Duan..."
Having said that, she didn't waste any time, like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, and talked about Zhang's situation in the Changchun Palace over the years.
She is the elderly person next to Zhang Bin. She was named under Zhang Bin when she entered the palace. She started as a palace maid and followed Zhang Bin when she moved from Yongshou Palace to Changchun Palace, witnessing the whole process.
"In the early days, it was okay when the young masters were here, but they only occasionally said something. When my brother and Princess moved to the palace, it became hard to hear what they said. They had to send people five or three times a day to tell our concubines to come over..."
This one is already against the rules.
It is true that Duan Concubine is the head of the Changchun Palace, but Zhang Concubine is also a concubine, not a concubine attached to her. There is a difference in rank, but there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority.
When two concubines share the same palace, they should keep the boundaries between Chu and Han, and the rivers should not interfere with the rivers.
"6 Since last winter, when Master Yi came to the north, Master Yi was happy, and Master Duan's words became even worse. He also talked about Master Yi giving birth at an advanced age, and talked about the sorrow of the birth. Our concubine has been taken care of a lot by Master Yi. , she just said, "This is a common thing outside, and a cheerful woman is not afraid." Master Duan said that our concubine was ridiculing her, and became more and more serious."
"When the Holy Emperor visited the south and our concubine was not on the list, Master Duan would take people outside the apse every day and let the nuns around him criticize and chatter endlessly. The slave wanted to argue, but Master Duan was standing right in front of him."
"Our concubine is angry and has some bad health. She had some metrorrhagia before. Since the metrorrhagia stopped in March, she has never had a monthly letter..."
"After the Qingming Festival, our master had another growth on his chest. It was as hard as a stone and the pain was unbearable. In May, the pain was so painful that he could not sleep peacefully. However, Master Duan continued to insult us twice a day, which made us The concubine is determined to die..."
By the end of the story, tears were streaming down her face.
Although her master had made it clear that she would go to Ganxitou to be a nanny for her brother, she didn't want to.
She entered the palace when she was in her teens and stayed with her master for more than ten years. The reason why she did not go out even after reaching the age was because she wanted to serve her master for a long time.
If her master really left, she didn't plan to live anymore.
Concubine Hui listened with a deep expression on her face.
Who doesn't know who?
Duanbi prides herself on her seniority and has always been arrogant.
What she said was not unintentional, but she was hoping that Concubine Yi's delivery would not go well, and that she would leave little brother, little princess, etc., to take over.
As for the yin and yang words of Duan concubine, they also learned it in their early years.
Because Duan's mother-in-law is a human being, the Empress Dowager, she is extremely proud.
When she first entered the palace, she was indeed very prosperous. At that time, the palace rankings were queen, concubine, Fujin, Da Gege, and Xiao Fujin Gege.
When Duan concubine enters the palace, she is Da Gege, and after giving birth to the emperor's second daughter, she is Fujin.
When she was later granted the title of seventh concubine, she was ranked third even though her daughter had died in infancy.
At that time, Concubine Rong was the fourth, she was the fifth, Concubine Yi was the sixth, and Concubine De had already entered the palace, but she was just a palace girl with no status.
Times have changed, Duan concubine has not been doing well over the years, and she rarely raises her voice in front of others.
I didn't expect him to be so vicious in private.
Then she looked at Zhang Bin and said with hatred: "You are usually smart, so why are you so useless? You have had children and favors in these years, what does she have? The reason why she still lives in the main hall of Changchun Palace, but It’s just her qualifications that the emperor wants to give her face by remembering old feelings. Not to mention that you are suppressing her, and you shouldn’t be bullied by her!"
Zhang Bin cried a lot and her emotions have calmed down a bit.
After hearing this, she smiled bitterly and said: "I just arrived at Changchun Palace at that time. She was very gentle and considerate. She also said that when she saw me, she thought of little Princess who died young. I happened to lose my mother at that time, so I was really like a concubine. "Mother is like sister"
As he was talking, he lost his caution and mentioned what he had been taught by his mother-in-law at his uncle's house in his early years, which allowed Duan concubine to catch a loophole.
She had nothing to fear now, so she told the matter.
"She thought she had caught me. She said 'skinny horse' and 'prostitute' silently. The slave also wanted to argue with her, but she was barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. She could be careless, but the slave was afraid of ruining both of them. Their reputation makes them marry far away."
She was also out of her mind at that time.
It's really scary.
After all, women are harshly criticized in this world, especially when it comes to Zhenjing, and saliva can drown people.
Now think about it, what’s so scary?
It's just a paper tiger.
If she is really disliked by the emperor for this, then she can live a pure life!
The left and right are also concubines, and they will not be demoted again without fault.
When Concubine Hui heard this, she was so angry: "You can endure this. If you dare to talk dirty to Hu Qin in the palace, you should just slap her in the mouth. You are the most bully and afraid of the strong. You Have you seen how she has been in front of Concubine Yi these years?"
Zhang Concubine said ashamedly: "I am afraid that if I cause trouble and offend the emperor, I will be moved out of the palace..."
Concubine Hui shook her head and said: "No wonder you are so angry and depressed. Even good people suffer from depression all day long..."
Having said this, she thought for a while and said: "My place is clean, you can rest here for a few days, wait until I report to the emperor, and then see what the emperor means."
Moving the uterus is not easy either.
Although the Chuxiu Palace in the West Sixth Palace is currently idle, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already cleared it out and made repairs.
But now that the concubines have been promoted, there is no one in the palace except Zhang Concubine and Wei Concubine.
Concubine Wei gave birth to an elder brother, and she was still the senior one.
As for the East Sixth Palace, the Chengqian Palace is currently vacant, but it is not a palace that ordinary concubines can stay in.
Zhang Bin's face turned red and she said, "I've caused trouble for you."
Concubine Hui shook her head and said, "What's the point? You did the right thing today. You came directly to Yanxi Palace instead of to Yikun Palace."
Although it had long been agreed that Concubine Yi was in charge of the Sixth Palace in the West and Concubine Hui was only in charge of the Sixth Palace in the East, Concubine Hui had no scruples in her actions.
When I heard these things, I felt so sick and angry.
After hearing this, Concubine Yi will definitely feel like she's going to burn out. It's not the right time to worry about that right now.

Shu Shu didn't know that sending ice would become a trigger, and the butterfly's wings would start to flicker again.
She just felt refreshed.
She and Brother Jiu each receive four pieces of ice per day.
The Queen Mother added another four yuan.
Shu Shu asked someone to send Brother Jiu's four pieces of ice directly to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get some coolness.
She has eight pieces of ice to herself here.
A piece of ice is one and a half feet square. If placed in an open environment, it will melt completely in about half an hour.
Calculated in this way, from the beginning of the day until nightfall, one piece of ice per hour is almost enough.
In order to make better use of the ice and make it melt slower, she directly had the study tidied up.
Added indigo double curtains.
A layer of interlayer is also added to the door frame and window to make it more airtight when closed.
In this way, the study becomes like an air-conditioned room.
Although it was not as cool as an air-conditioned room, Shu Shu estimated that the temperature had dropped from early thirties to twenty-six or seven, because she was sweating all over if she didn't move that much.
Shu Shu asked Grandma Qi and the girls to stay in the house to get some coolness.
Grandma Qi is getting older and is more afraid of cold than heat. She can't stand this cold room and is not happy to let Shu Shu stay here.
Shu Shu said with grievance: "Little brother and little princess are not here yet, and grandma is always thinking about these things and has put me at the back of the queue. I am so hot that I can't eat or sleep well. How can I take care of my body... "
Grandma Qi has no choice but to be embarrassed.
Xiaosong was the happiest.
She is strong-blooded, and her body feels like a heater in winter, and also in summer.
Before she even fell into ambush, she was sweating profusely all day long.
Shu Shu called over, she was so happy.
She was not idle either. She was reading books while Shu Shu was sharpening her ink.
When Shu Shu tilted her head, she pressed her head and arms.
Xiaoyu had already left the palace, so Xiaochun took Guiyuan and continued teaching.
Hazel followed Xiaotang.
Peanut is now being carried by Aunt Qi, and she is starting to make some personal items for Shu Shu.
The seven girls were all orderly and easy to obey, making Shu Shu content.
Although he came out of the southern tour, someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to ask for advice on the matter of mending the palace maid.
Here, Shu Shu can command eight palace maids, and one of the following women from the family "comes out of the palace due to illness". If there is a vacancy, one more can be filled.
The candidate can be a selected palace girl, a girl from the family, or directly a maid.
Shu Shu directly refused at that time.
She doesn't plan to pick anyone at this time.
Wait until you leave the palace and open a mansion.
When the time comes, they will be given a job as a servant, and some of the housemates from outside can also be selected as servants.
She spent the whole morning reading, taking notes, and getting a massage.
When Brother Ninth came back at noon, what he saw was not the wilted appearance of yesterday, but looking as fresh and tender as a cabbage that had drunk enough water.
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Are you more looking forward to Khan's coming out of the palace than I am? How about it, do you feel that you have relaxed too much? Knife."
Shu Shu rolled her eyes at him and asked him to follow him into the study.
The curtains are open now, but because there are no windows, it's not as bright as the second room.
As soon as Brother Jiu came in, he noticed the difference and took a comfortable breath.
He looked at the large blue and white vat, glanced twice, and said, "It only has a piece of ice on it, and it's so cool?"
Shu Shu pointed to the window and the heavy door curtain and said, "Cover it tightly so that the air conditioner can't get out, so it'll be cool."
Brother Ninth praised: "Fu Jin is really smart."
Shu Shu said: "Is the yamen busy with errands now? Can I go only for half a day? If it's still the whole day, don't bother going back and forth, I'd better ask someone to send food over."
The Forbidden City is nearly two miles from south to north.
My brother's office is almost to the north, and the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is almost to the south. The straight-line distance is more than one and a half miles, and including the horizontal road, it is almost two miles.
Even if I hold an umbrella, it only protects me from the sun, but it cannot protect me from the high heat.
Brother Jiu whispered: "Actually, half a day's work is enough. The afternoon is idle, there is nothing serious... Naiy."
Shu Shu looked at him, what else are you going to do in the afternoon?
Is it because you feel bored staying in the second institute?
We've been married for less than a year, and we're already disgusted with each other? !
Brother Jiu said: "I learned the lesson at the Zongren Mansion. It was even more leisurely there and there was nothing serious to do all day long, but Su Nu and Lao Shi still went to the Yamen every day. Why? It is because Khan Amma has many official duties and is not able to see others leisurely. Prince Xin doesn’t like to go to the Yamen to order Mao. That’s because there is really nothing serious to do, but Khan Amma doesn’t like it. The order was replaced by Prince Jian... …”
Shu Shu confinement.
So he gained experience?
Even if you have no official duties, you still go to the yamen to catch fish and show it to the big boss?
