He Linwan turned to the queen mother: "Niangniang, there are not many people in the capital who have greenhouses, and there must be only a handful of people who grow yellow oleander in the greenhouse. ”

After listening to this, the queen bowed her head: "If it is true as you say, this palace will make decisions for you." ”

Chunyang looked at He Linwan with a gloomy face, and Aunt Lan couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart when she saw it.

After returning from Taibai Mansion last time, Princess Chunyang felt that she had suffered a great shame, but Chunyang did not go to the emperor and Concubine De to complain, but calculated the account on Li Yu and He Linwan, and vowed to make them look good. Today, when He Lin entered the palace late, he naturally bumped into the muzzle of Princess Chunyang's gun. If Princess Chunyang is not allowed to be angry this time, none of them who are serving by the princess's side will be able to have a better time.

At this time, Shen Mama, who was beside the queen, said: "Queen mother, the slave maid remembered where there was a kind of yellow oleander." ”

"Oh, where is it?" the queen looked at Mama Shen when she heard this.

Mama Shen glanced at Concubine Ande, bowed down and said, "In Concubine De's mother's maiden house, Shou'an Houfu." ”

The queen was stunned when she heard this, Concubine Ande's eyes narrowed slightly, and she glanced at Shen Mama with a smile: "What does Shen Mama mean by this? Could it be that I sent someone to poison my cat and then blame a little girl who entered the palace for the first time? Is the palace full and has nothing to do?"

Mama Shen lowered her eyelids and was expressionless: "Concubine De, please calm your anger, the slave is just talking about things." Didn't doubt anyone's intentions. ”

Princess Chunyang sneered: "Even if there is only a kind of yellow oleander in the Hou Mansion of Shou'an in this capital, what then? Since this yellow oleander is not a rare thing in the south, who knows if the seeds that He Linwan brought into the palace today were secretly brought from the south!"

When everyone heard this, they felt that what Princess Chunyang said also made some sense, goldenrod oleander is not easy to plant, but this kind of seed can be brought to the capital.

He Linwan sighed: "This is impossible!"

Princess Chunyang snorted coldly: "What's impossible? Could it be that this kind of thing is also a delicate thing, and it can't be brought into Beijing?"

He Linwan shook his head and spread out a oleander seed in the palm of his hand: "Queen Mother, please see, the seeds of this oleander are green and not ripe, and from the luster, it should have been picked for less than an hour, if this was brought from the south, it would never look like this." So the seeds of these oleanders can only be picked from close proximity. ”

Less than an hour after it was taken off, the people present couldn't help but look at Concubine Ande and Princess Chunyang. So, it is really very likely that these oleander seeds are from the Shou'an Hou Mansion?

He Linwan looked at Princess Chunyang, whose face was ugly. and then slowly make up for the fatal knife: "And then ...... Now there are still several months before the fruiting period of yellow oleander, even if there are other people in the capital who also plant yellow oleander, it is impossible to hang fruit at this time, the mother plant of these seeds should be ripened by people, so as long as you find the oleander that bears fruit at this time, the truth can be revealed. ”

Princess Chunyang's face changed at this time.

Concubine An De glanced at Aunt Lan. Aunt Lan's face turned pale in an instant.

The queen finally stretched her eyebrows: "That's it, it's easy to do!" Aunt Shen. Send someone to find out whose goldenrod oleander in the capital has borne fruit at this time!"

Weiss finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, she was already in a cold sweat.

Mama Shen was about to take the order to leave, but Concubine An De suddenly said: "Wait!"

Mama Shen looked at the queen, and the queen asked gently, "What's the matter with Concubine De?"

Concubine De glanced at He Linwan with a smile: "I heard that the He family is the home of military generals. I don't want to, but I'm a well-informed little girl. ”

After speaking, Concubine De straightened her skirt and stood up, and then walked to the emperor and empress and knelt down in front of everyone in surprise.

The emperor was startled, and immediately raised his hand to help: "What is this doing, concubine?

The queen also hurriedly said: "Concubine De, you are ......?"

Concubine De sighed: "No matter what the truth of the matter is, the concubine will not be able to escape the charge of partiality and partiality today! It's just that if the queen mother sends someone to Shou'an Houfu to verify this matter, how can she let the face of the concubine be saved? The concubine simply confessed to this charge, and asked the concubine not to disturb her old man for the sake of the concubine's grandmother who is old and frail. ”

The queen looked at Concubine Ande, who was kneeling in front of her but still straightening her back, and did not speak, but just glanced at the emperor beside her.

The emperor frowned, and said to the empress with some impatience: "It's just a dead cat, is it a joke waiting for people to see the harem when making such a big fuss?"

The emperor seems to have forgotten that it is not the queen who wants to make a big deal out of it.

However, the queen did not have a trace of grievance or annoyance, and said very calmly: "It is the concubine who is negligent, so how should this matter be handled according to His Majesty's wishes?"

The emperor got up from his seat and helped Concubine Ande up with his own hands: "Today's matter is over." ”

The queen glanced at He Linwan and sighed, but still said obediently: "Got it, Your Majesty!"

Concubine An De got up and glanced at the emperor affectionately: "Thank you, Your Majesty and the Empress Mother." ”

The emperor patted Concubine Ande's hand lightly, his eyes were slightly on He Linwan, and then he praised casually: "Hui Zhilan's heart is not chaotic, she is worthy of being the daughter of the military general's family, queen, reward her!"

The queen smiled slightly: "Got it, Your Majesty." ”

The emperor's reward obviously meant to appease, although Wei was not angry in her heart and felt wronged for her daughter, but she still pulled He Lin to thank him in the evening. He Linwan thanked the emperor for his grace with a calm face.

Princess Chunyang breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at He Linwan mockingly, He Linwan raised her head and met Princess Chunyang's gaze, and then smiled at her as if she had no guilt, so that Chunyang was stunned.

The emperor said, "Okay, I'm going to the imperial study." ”

The Empress immediately stood up to send her off, and the Emperor waved his hand. He walked away without looking back.

Seeing that the emperor was gone, Concubine Ande said to the queen with a smile: "Queen Mother, if there is nothing to do, the concubine will also retire." ”

Concubine Liu Xian also got up and retired.

The queen bowed her head, spoke a few gentle words to them, and then let them go. Princess Chunyang naturally followed Concubine Ande away.

After the two palace concubines left, the queen sighed and said to He Linwan and Wei: "I have wronged you today." ”

Although Wei really felt aggrieved for her daughter, she still said: "The concubine is afraid. ”

The queen smiled slightly, and didn't say anything anymore, but just instructed Mama Shen: "Take out the reward I prepared before." In addition, I will reward the two pairs of heads that the girl of the He family just came in from the south a few days ago. ”

He Linwan smiled and said, "Queen Mother." Can the courtiers ask for another reward?"

When the queen saw He Linwan smiling and groaning, her face did not have the slightest unwillingness and resentment to be wronged, thinking of her smart and calm appearance just now, she had a good impression of her in her heart. Hearing this, he said with a pleasant face: "Oh, don't you want head jewelry?

He Linwan blinked and said, "I heard that the queen's handwriting is excellent. I want a pair of ink treasures from the queen mother. ”

The queen was stunned when she heard this. Then it was a little funny, but she still said very happily: "This is the first time that someone has asked this palace for Mobao, but since you mentioned it." Then I'll write you a copy. ”

Mama Shen immediately asked the palace people to prepare pen and ink.

The queen cleaned her hands with great interest, walked to the bookcase, picked up the pen and thought about it, and wrote down the four words "Lan Xinhui Quality", which was the four words that the emperor casually praised Lin Wan before, and after writing, the queen used her own private seal and stamped the phoenix seal.

"This is what Your Majesty said to reward you, Your Majesty's words of praise for you, this palace wrote it down and gave it to you today, I hope you will have a smooth life. The queen looked at the words she had written, and said to He Lin with a smile.

When Wei saw the queen's ink treasure, the depression in his heart finally dissipated a lot, and the queen's words were much more useful than other rewards.

"Thank you for the words!" Wei said thanks.

The queen smiled gently, and said to He Linwan: "The words are for you, and the two pairs of heads and faces are also for you, the little girl doesn't understand it yet, and she will be pretty in a few years." The little girls who used to be around the palace liked the jewelry that the palace gave them, and the palace also liked to see them beautiful and happy every day. ”

I don't know what came to mind, the queen sighed: "If people can be smooth in this life, happy for a lifetime, it is good to have no glory and wealth, but it's a pity that ......"

Mama Shen said on the side: "Queen Mother, the hour is not early. ”

The queen mother stopped talking, smiled, and said to Wei and He Linwan: "You go back first, this painting will be sent to your mansion together with other rewards after the palace has ordered someone to frame it." ”

Wei didn't want to stay in this palace that made her feel depressed, so when she heard this, she pulled He Linwan to retire.

He Linwan looked at the warm and kind queen with a smile all day, saluted respectfully and then followed Wei to retire.

After Wei and He Linwan's mother and daughter left, the queen sat on her phoenix seat and did not speak for a long time.

Mama Shen waited for a long time before she said, "Niangniang, no matter how favored Concubine An De is, you are the queen of the main palace." ”

Queen Wang came back to her senses when she heard this, and after thinking about it, she realized that Mama Shen was comforting her, and she didn't mind that the emperor was biased to help Concubine Ande but slapped her in the face everywhere.

Empress Wang couldn't help but smile and said jokingly: "If it weren't for the queen of the main palace, would she still sit here and look at his face?" I knew from the day I entered the palace that I came to be the queen, not to be anyone's wife. ”

A trace of helplessness flashed on Mama Shen's face when she heard this: "Niangniang, be cautious!"

Queen Wang pursed her lips, and her not young face was a little childish: "Mama will only let me be cautious, or the Yang family girl is interesting......" Speaking of this, Queen Wang paused.

Mama Shen sighed: "If Niangniang likes young girls to accompany her, why don't you invite a few ministers' daughters into the palace?"

Queen Wang thought for a while and shook her head: "This year is the year of the general election, at this time, I don't know how much trouble I will cause when I recruit people into the palace, not to mention that such a thing as fate can be met but not sought, or just that." ”

Mama Shen said: "Then find a younger one, the girl from the He family just now is very good, and she is also smart." ”

Queen Wang smiled bitterly: "Yes, if you want to go in and out of my palace, wisdom is the most important thing, so as not to become a scapegoat by accident." It's okay, I don't know why when I saw the girl from the He family, I remembered the girl from the Yang family. It's all the same age, and it's good to live your life smoothly at home. That girl of the Yang family ended up like that, do you know if she was dragged down by me, an unknown person?"

Mama Shen's face changed: "Niangniang, the fall of the Yang family was due to partisan disputes, how could it be because of you?"

Queen Wang smiled bitterly: "Mama doesn't need to say it, this palace doesn't plan to let people enter the palace to accompany you in the future." ”

When Mama Shen saw that Queen Wang had even changed her self-title, she knew that it was useless to persuade her, so she didn't say anything more.

Concubine An De and Princess Chunyang returned to Jingxiu Palace, and after there were no idle people waiting in the palace, Princess Chunyang said coldly: "Next time this palace must let her die ugly!"

Saying that, Princess Chunyang looked at Aunt Lan with a gloomy face, "What are you doing! I can't even tell the difference between yellow and red oleander!"

Aunt Lan knelt down with a puff: "The princess forgives her sins, the slave maid just heard that oleander is a highly poisonous thing, and she doesn't know the difference between yellow flowers and red flowers, so she ......"

Princess Chunyang glanced at her: "There is more than enough success and more failure! Go down and get thirty whips yourself!"

Aunt Lan glanced at Concubine Ande, and saw that Concubine Ande was waiting for the palace maid to change her clothes and clean her hands without looking this way, knowing that the thirty whips could not be avoided, so she gritted her teeth and retreated.

Concubine An De handed the soft handkerchief to the palace maids, motioned for them to retreat, and then straightened her sleeves and slowly walked to Princess Chunyang.

Princess Chunyang just wanted to speak, but Concubine Ande suddenly raised her hand and slapped her fiercely, and with a "snap", Princess Chunyang's face turned red.

Princess Chunyang covered her cheeks and looked at Concubine Ande, her face was no longer arrogant in front of outsiders, she bit her lip and lowered her head.

Concubine An De tugged at the corners of her mouth: "Do you know why I slapped you this way?"

Princess Chunyang covered her cheeks and did not speak.

Concubine An De looked at Chunyang condescendingly, and her voice was soft and a little cold: "This palace has said many times, you can be arrogant, you can be ruthless, you can repay you, and you can even be stupid and brainless, but if you are not ten percent sure that it will be bad, it is best to explain to this palace in advance!"

Princess Chunyang said in a low voice: "I, I didn't expect a little girl to be so difficult to deal with. ”

Concubine An De glanced at Princess Chunyang, walked to her chaise longue and sat down: "There are many things you can't think of in this world!"

Princess Chunyang saw that Concubine Ande's anger was almost gone, so she walked over and squatted in front of the chaise longue: "Chunyang knows that it is wrong, don't be angry, concubine." ”

Concubine Ande glanced at her, reached out and touched her cheek: "Does it hurt?"

Chunyang shook his head and nodded again, with a little grievance in his eyes.

Concubine An De smiled, she gently stroked the finger prints on Chunyang's cheek, and said gently: "It's good to know that it hurts, and I will have a longer memory next time." ”.
