Empress with no Virtue Chapter 8: Promotion

The Luhua Palace moon cake case came to light within three days. Hui concubine murdered the palace concubine and framed the queen. Her methods were cruel and the influence was bad. The emperor decreed that she be demoted to the eighth-grade selected attendant and moved to the side hall of Yaoyue Palace.

Invite the Moon Palace, invite the Moon Palace... Ye Zhenzhen sneered, the Queen Mother is determined not to give up. It’s not an exaggeration to say that Concubine Hui would end up in the cold palace if she did something like this. Even if she didn’t go to the cold palace, she would not be better off in any other palace, but this is the invitation to the moon palace... No matter whether Concubine Xian wants it or not, she can only do it now. I can stand on the side of the Queen Mother.

However, in Ye Zhenzhen's opinion, the Queen Mother's move was really a foolish move. Concubine Hui was already an abandoned child. If the Empress Dowager did not want to treat her badly and just take good care of her, there was no need to bring her into Yaoyue Palace to drag down Concubine Xian. Moreover, the Concubine Xian had always been secretive, and she still had a certain attitude of independence from the world. Now the Empress Dowager pulled her to her side with great fanfare and blatantly helped her grab the back seat, which was like turning her into a **** of arrows.

Ye Zhenzhen yawned and thought, if the Xu family were like the Queen Mother...well, then the decline of their family would be easy to understand, and it could not all be blamed on her grandfather.

"The Emperor is here!" Wang Youcai stood outside Kunning Palace and shouted at the top of his lungs. Since he had never done anything like this before, his luck was wrong. When he shouted the last word, his voice was broken, like a crow that had been raped.

Ji Wu Jiu frowned upon hearing this.

This Wang Youcai is Wang Xiaohu, and Ye Zhenzhen took the initiative to get him with Ji Wu Jiu. He was originally a sin-bearing body, so he died when he died. But Ji Wu Jiu punished Concubine Hui lightly, and Ye Zhenzhen was very sensible and didn't say anything, so he just gave her this slave to save her face.

Ye Zhenzhen felt that Wang Xiaohu's name was too vulgar and not suitable for a place like Kunning Palace, so she changed his name to Wang Youcai based on Feng Youde's name. He is both virtuous and talented, and he has both ability and political integrity. How good it is.

Ji Wu Jiu couldn't believe that Ye Zhenzhen actually thought this name was very elegant.

Although Wang Youcai's broken voice screamed so horribly that even birds flew away, Ye Zhenzhen seemed not to have heard it.

So when Ji Wu Jiu walked in, he saw Ye Zhenzhen sitting there, staring blankly at the things on the table. He walked over gently and saw a nine-square chessboard spread out in front of her. There were several ivory chess pieces scattered on the chessboard, with numbers engraved on them. The nine-square grid is different from the ordinary nine-square grid, but is made up of nine nine-square grids nested together, forming a total of ninety-nine and eighty-one small grids. It seems that digital chess pieces can be placed in each small grid.

Ye Zhen Zhen was still holding her chin in thought, frowning, not noticing Ji Wu Jiu's presence at all.

Ji Wu Jiu didn’t expect her to find him, “What are you doing?”

Ye Zhenzhen was startled and turned around to see Ji Wu Jiu. She hurriedly stood up with a fake smile on her face.

Ji Wu Jiu frowned.

"Your Majesty, you are here. The eunuchs outside are really stupid and don't know how to inform you." Ye Zhenzhen said.

"How disrespectful." Ji Wu Jiu said, gesturing at her with two fingers, meaning that the second time, I will remember it for you.

Ye Zhenzhen stuck out her tongue, cursing in her heart.

Ji Wu Jiu's eyes fell back to the chessboard on the table, "Is this the Nine Palaces Diagram? It doesn't look like it."

"This is not a nine-gong diagram. This is called the Chongjiu Gong. It is a thing thought up by a folk man named Shi Tianchang. These small grids must be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 horizontally and vertically. They cannot be repeated. Every small grid must be repeated. These numbers cannot be repeated in the Nine Palaces Chart."

Sounding interesting, Ji Wu Jiu walked to the table, casually touched a chess piece, and lowered his eyebrows in thought.

Ye Zhenzhen kindly advised him, "This thing is divided into three levels: A, B, and C. This is your first time, Your Majesty, playing with level A. It's too difficult to play with level A. Let's play with level C. I have chess records here. There are all kinds of situations."

“That’s wordy.” Ji Wu Jiu said, changing a chess piece with “1” engraved on it, and placed it on the chessboard.

Ye Zhenzhen thought to herself, I've been thinking about it for a long time and still haven't figured it out. You can't take this step right away. Let's see how you end up.

The way Ji Wu Jiu ended the game was to keep arranging the chess pieces, and after a while, he easily won the first game of the game.

"A small trick." He commented disdainfully.

Impossible! Ye Zhenzhen didn't believe that this kind of thing could be untied easily in his hands. Although the principles are just some arithmetic methods, it does take a lot of effort to calculate, so he must have just gotten it right by chance.

So Ye Zhenzhen held the chess record, found another first-class game and laid it out for him to solve.

Ji Wu Jiu played the game smoothly this time, without much thought, he placed all the chess pieces in, and it was right again.

How could it be! Come again!

So the two of them got together to play Chongjiugong. Because the chessboard is not big, their heads are almost touching. Ye Zhenzhen wore her hair in a bun today, with her thick black hair **** in a bun. The snow-white skin on her face looked like green clouds and snow. The bottom of her hair is fixed with several green flower-dotted diamonds, and on her head is a seven-treasure concentric hairpin and a gold double-stranded phoenix hairpin. The golden phoenix is ​​carved lifelike, spreading its wings and about to fly, holding two strands of beads in its mouth. .

The string of beads hung down and swayed, occasionally brushing against Ji Wu Jiu's face.

Ji Wu Jiu's face was itchy from being swept away. When he raised his head, he saw Ye Zhen Zhen's face very close to him. The beauty is as picturesque as any other. This Ye Zhenzhen has never known what elegance means. She will just stick it on her head whenever something shines. Gold, silver, jade feathers and gemstones of various colors must be carefully crafted with exquisite and complicated patterns. If these things were piled on other women's heads all day long, they would probably be suspected of being a member of a nouveau riche family, but Ye Zhenzhen's facial features were exquisite and majestic. Wearing these things did not go against the grain at all, but rather complemented each other. Despite the fireworks, It's cool, but not tacky, and can bring out the exquisiteness and beauty that have been polished by countless skilled craftsmen.

Ji Wu Jiu suddenly thought of Ye Zhen Zhen's original words: "Such a noble thing is simply tailor-made for me." He felt weak.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is number two." Ye Zhenzhen pointed at a small grid and said.

Ji Wu Jiu came to his senses, put a "two" in the small box, and then moved his body slightly to the side. He was not used to being too close to Ye Zhenzhen.

The fun lasted until dinner time. Ji Wu Jiu was too lazy to move, so he had dinner in Kunning Palace. He felt repentant for not doing his job and running to Kunning Palace to play with such things. He also thought that these were Ye Zhenzhen’s things and that Ye Zhenzhen had tempted him to play with them, so he just offended Ye Zhenzhen. , there is another entry in the little black book.

Ye Zhenzhen didn't understand what he was thinking behind his paralyzed face, and she didn't bother to understand. Eating was a big deal, so she had to concentrate. She didn't like having someone prepare food for her - in fact, this kind of treatment was only given to paralyzed patients among the people. Normal people didn't like it, and naturally Ji Wu Jiu didn't like it either. So the emperor and empress each carried their chopsticks and ate by themselves. Ye Zhenzhen likes to eat meat, so she asked the kitchen to stew venison today. I don’t know what method the chef used. The meat is soft and delicious in the mouth, and there is a faint fragrance between the lips and teeth, which is like flowers but not flowers.

So Ye Zhenzhen enjoyed the meal very much. When a person eats well, the people watching tend to have an appetite too, so Ji Wu Jiu eats more than usual. He also liked the bowl of venison and ate several pieces. Ye Zhenzhen didn't like people trying to grab her food, so she put the remaining pieces of meat into her bowl. The palm-sized bowl with yellow, three-color, dragon and phoenix pierced lotus was piled high with venison.

Su Yue looked at it and wanted to hold her forehead, so she quickly ordered someone to bring another bowl.

The two of them ate enthusiastically, but Feng Youde outside was a little confused. He didn't know what the emperor meant now, so he didn't ask him to turn over the cards. He didn't know whether the emperor's meaning was the same as what he understood. One meaning...

Inside Ji Wu Jiu and Ye Zhen Zhen finished their meal, each feeling a little uncomfortable. As usual, if he came to Kunning Palace for dinner without turning over the sign, it meant that he planned to stay in the Queen's Palace tonight, but Ji Wu Jiu really didn't mean that, and Ye Zhenzhen didn't want him to mean that. The pain of the wedding night was still fresh in her mind, and when she thought about having to go through it again, she... glanced at Ji Wu Jiu with an unkind expression.

Ji Wu Jiu: "..."

"Your Majesty, I heard that Concubine Xian has been unwell recently. Why don't you go and see her?" Let's go quickly!

Ji Wu Jiu did not answer, but asked another question, "Who do you hate the most in this harem?"

Ye Zhenzhen looked at him with a strange expression. The meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Ji Wu Jiu suppressed the anger in his chest and asked pleasantly, "I mean, who is the woman you hate the most?"

"Zhuang Concubine." This time she answered simply.

"Why?"

"She is so articulate that I can't speak to her."

Ji Wu Jiu nodded with a smile, stood up and left.

That night, the emperor did not turn over the cards, but went directly to Hanguang Hall. Zhuang Concubine was surprised and happy. You must know that the emperor has not been to her Hanguang Palace for a while. Compared with the concubines in the harem, her beauty was not outstanding, and her talents were average. Although she had a clever mouth, she was better at arguing with others than pleasing others, so naturally she was not very favored.

Not only that, after the emperor rested for the night in Hanguang Hall, he promoted Concubine Zhuang to a higher position, and made Concubine Zhuang, a second-rank concubine, on an equal footing with Concubine Xian and Concubine Li.

But what makes Concubine Zhuang puzzled is that according to the emperor's wishes, her promotion was the result of the queen's beautiful words?

After Concubine Li heard about this, when she looked at Concubine Zhuang again, her eyes were a little subtle, and she also had a strange aura when talking to her.

Concubine Zhuang felt depressed and a little dissatisfied. She herself had a clear conscience. She was extremely attentive to Concubine Li, but Concubine Li always treated her like a slave. Now Li Fei has only heard a few rumors and doesn't give her a good look. Now that the two of them are on equal footing, why is she still showing off her power in front of her!

So Concubine Zhuang gradually became less obedient to Concubine Li.

Seeing the internal strife between the two people, Ye Zhenzhen smiled and said nothing.

Oh, by the way, the queen’s set of big rosewood toads was finally given away. One big and twelve small, a total of thirteen toads. Two trays were filled with them. When Concubine Zhuang saw it, His face turned green.

The other concubines were also frightened when they saw this cruel reward, and each of them strengthened their determination to complain in front of the emperor.
