Although His Majesty said that the Lantern Festival was blown out by the wind, such as the concubine guessed that there were ghosts, but in the harem, there were not a few people who believed that there were really ghosts. Many of them secretly put on red underwear and stopped going out when it got dark.

There are also those who recite the Diamond Sutra.

Fortunately, Ronghua Palace is far away from all parts of the harem, and the palace concubines don't have to go through here for nothing, and they don't have to worry about deliberately staying away.

The Queen Mother called the queen over, wiped her forehead, with a sick face burning her cheeks, and sternly asked her to persuade Her Majesty, "If the concubine is such a little mistake, it is too strict to be confined, Your Majesty is ignoring the mourning family, the mourning family is not dead, Your Majesty treats the concubine like this, and after the mourning family dies, will the concubine still have a way to live?"

The queen also felt that His Majesty's punishment was too severe, but she also knew that the most intolerable thing for His Majesty was to do something to the emperor's heir, "The main thing is that if the concubine pushes the concubine, the concubine will have a miscarriage, otherwise Your Majesty will not have such a big temper." ”

At that time, the lanterns were blown out by ghosts, the black lights were blind, and the road was only so wide, she was in a panic, and she didn't mean it. The Queen Mother said, "The niece of the mourning family knows that she is an honest person, although she will be arrogant tomorrow, but she will never have harmful thoughts." ”

"The mourning family is now called Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will not come, so you can only let you go and talk about it for the mourning family. The queen mother took the queen's hand and said, "If the concubine has no children and no favor, who else can you count on in the harem except relying on the queen?"

The queen could only respond, she really didn't have a bottom in her heart, so she asked the internal food division to stew a bowl of tonic soup and send it to Tianqing Palace, Qi Zongwen looked at her, "Why is the queen here?"

"The concubine saw that His Majesty's government affairs were hard, and wanted His Majesty to drink some tonic soup and rest for a while. The queen said.

Qi Zongwen drank soup for face, "You went to see the Queen Mother?"

Since His Majesty took the initiative to mention it, the queen hurriedly answered, "Go, the queen mother is sick, and her face is very ugly." ”

"Let the imperial doctor be stationed in Yushou Palace, and be sure to take care of the queen mother's body. Qi Zongwen said.

"The queen mother is a heart disease, and the imperial doctor is afraid that it will not be easy to use. The queen said.

Qi Zongwen stopped talking.

The queen said, "The concubine went to Shanglin Yuan again today to take a look, the road is not wide, and it is possible that when it gets dark, if the concubine runs around and does not pay attention to the concubine, it is also possible." ”

The concubine just thought that if the concubine was unintentional, His Majesty's punishment would be a little too heavy. ”

Qi Zongwen looked at her for a long time, after so many years, this queen still couldn't be with him, it was really disappointing, he opened his mouth and said, "Do you think I haven't let people try?"

"The palace maid of the diligent concubine was knocked down more than 20 times on that road, and she could still tell whether she was taken down or pushed down. ”

The queen laughed dryly, "In this matter, the palace maid is also responsible for the poor guards, Xu is afraid that His Majesty will punish her, and the reason for her unsteady standing will be pushed on the body of the concubine." ”

"The queen will go back if she has nothing to do. Qi Zongwen said, "If you are a concubine, you have already made up your mind, and there is no need to mention it again." ”

The queen came out of the Tianqing Palace in a daze, and it was not good to go to Yushou Palace to return to the court, so she simply used the highest trick of procrastination, pretending to be sick, and after going back, she said that she was sick and wanted to recuperate, go to Yushou Palace to take leave, and also exempted the palace concubine from asking for peace.

Yushou Palace heard that the queen was sick, so she asked the queen where she went today, and the palace maid honestly went back to Tianqing Palace, and the queen mother understood when she heard it, this is the queen who touched a nail in Tianqing Palace, and she didn't have the face to talk to her, so she said that she was sick.

"Useless stuff. The Queen Mother said angrily, "I really don't know what she eats as a queen, and she can't say a word in front of Your Majesty." ”

When she said this, she forgot that when she was the queen, not only could she not say a word in front of Her Majesty, but she even gave up the power of the palace.

The Queen Mother couldn't, "Go and call the concubine." ”

I can only bow to the concubine.

Qin Yunyi heard the summons of Yushou Palace, and went without hesitation, Miao An walked next to Bu Yuan and pouted, "I know with my toes that the Queen Mother asked Niangniang to go just for the sake of the concubine, why should Niangniang suffer that anger." ”

"She is the queen mother, she summoned me, and I didn't go, wouldn't it be arrogant. Qin Yunyi said, "It's just to go there and listen, the left ear goes in and the right ear goes out." ”

"Niangniang is a little depressed these days, and if she has to listen to those bad words, her mood will be even worse. Miao An said.

When she arrived at Yushou Palace, the Queen Mother unexpectedly did not have the disgust she used to have, and asked Qin Yunyi to sit on the edge of her bed, holding her hand and bursting into tears.

"Queen Mother?" Qin Yunyi was a little flustered.

"It's all the fault of the mourning family, the mourning family shouldn't insist on letting the concubine into the palace, she is the niece of the queen mother, not married to the palace, the good men in the capital are at her disposal, as the housewife, giving birth to children, and living a happy life. ”

Because of the obsession of the mourning family, she entered the palace, not to be pleased with His Majesty, entered the palace for many years, did not give birth to an heir, and now because of recklessness, she committed such a big mistake. ”

"If she is really imprisoned for the rest of her life, how can the mourning family be worthy of her. ”

Qin Yunyi pondered his words and said, "Your Majesty is not a ruthless person, he is just angry now, confined for a year, at least half a year, Your Majesty will let her out." ”

"But His Majesty's decree is that there will be no amnesty. The Queen Mother said with tears, "It's a death row prisoner, and there can still be a glimmer of life in the amnesty, if she is a concubine, she has made some heinous mistakes, and she is not even as good as a death row prisoner." ”

Qin Yunyi was silent.

"Good boy, the mourning family knows that the mourning family used to treat you badly, in fact, the mourning family is not aimed at you, the mourning family is just afraid that His Majesty will love you too much, make you pampered and arrogant, and do something as rebellious and rude as Concubine Li, so they will remind you from time to time. ”

"Now you are the only one who can say a few words in front of Your Majesty for Ru Concubine. ”

Qin Yunyi politely refused, "The Queen Mother knows, Your Majesty doesn't like to change the decree every day." ”

"In this way, I tried to talk to Your Majesty, and let Concubine Ru come out to see the Queen Mother once a month, so that the Queen Mother can rest assured that she knows her situation. ”

"Your Majesty will listen to whatever you say, it depends on whether you go or not. The Queen Mother said, "Good boy, you go and beg Your Majesty, it is best to get a clear decree, a year, half a year, at least you can determine how long the concubine will be confined." ”

"I'll try it as much as I can. Qin Yunyi said, "But whether Your Majesty can listen to me, I'm really not sure." ”

"As long as you go and say it, Your Majesty will definitely agree. The Queen Mother said, "He loves you the most." ”

Coming out of Yushou Palace, the Queen Mother also rewarded her with a lot of things to take away, Miao An was surprised, "After so many years, Niangniang can finally get things from Yushou Palace." ”

"This thing is hot to hold. Qin Yunyi said.

Qin Yunyi is in a bad mood these days, and he doesn't want to deal with His Majesty, so he doesn't leave His Majesty to spend the night in Ronghua Palace, even if he really wants to stay in Ronghua Palace, he is afraid that Qin Yunyi will see a ghost, and he will have nightmares and remember old things at night.

So Qin Yunyi came and said that he wanted to have dinner with His Majesty, and Qi Zongwen went over immediately.

When I entered the hall, I saw several brocade boxes on one side, "What is this for?"

"This is all rewarded by the Queen Mother today, and she came back, and she hasn't had time to put it into the warehouse. Qin Yunyi said.

"I'll give you what you want. Qi Zongwen frowned and said, "She didn't like you in the past, but now that she thinks that you are useful, she uses these things to please you, who is rare?"

"I'm not unusual. Qin Yunyi smiled and said, "But the Queen Mother pulled me to cry a lot today, it's a strange scene." ”

"It's her ploy for mourning. Qi Zongwen said.

"She is also really distressed like a concubine. Qin Yunyi said.

"Without this, I would have seen her unpleasantly a long time ago, and now I am taking the opportunity to be out of sight in the future. Qi Zongwen said.

"Does she feel sorry for Ru Concubine, or does she feel sorry for her own prestige?" Qi Zongwen said, "I asked people to interrogate the palace maid, and even asked that the Queen Mother intended to let Ru Concubine raise Lu Meiren's child, and if necessary, she would go to the son and stay with her mother." ”

Qi Zongwen would be angry if he wanted to be confined to Ru Concubine at the beginning, and the more he investigated, the more he felt that he was right.

"The Queen Mother's heart is too big. ”

"The Queen Mother is now sick, if Your Majesty doesn't agree, the Queen Mother will probably be bedridden, and then Uncle Guo is outside, and the imperial history will go up to persuade Your Majesty to be benevolent and filial. Qin Yunyi stroked his back and said, "And Your Majesty is indefinite, after all, such a fault as a concubine will not be like this." ”

"What's more, there is also the Queen Mother who protects her with her life. ”

Qi Zongwen was silent, and his furrowed eyebrows showed that he was not happy.

Qin Yunyi reached out again to smooth Qi Zongwen's eyebrows, "It's a worry sooner or later, and the more you get to the back, the more annoying it is." ”

Qi Zongwen grabbed her hand and said, "Just let it go so gently, I really can't calm down." ”

"Then Your Majesty's next decree, if the concubine is closed to the palace for a year or half a year, as long as there is a definite time, I think the Queen Mother will not make trouble. Qin Yunyi said.

"What's the difference between this and letting go gently?" Qi Zongwen said, "She has harmful thoughts, and if she can be let go, she will only make bigger mistakes in the future." ”

"Do I have to endure the pain of loss again?"

Qin Yunyi comforted him, "Okay, okay, Your Majesty will continue to lock it up if you want to, and keep it closed until Your Majesty is angry." ”

Qi Zongwen thought again, the Queen Mother has begged the concubine so much, if there is no result, wouldn't it make people misunderstand the position of the concubine in His Majesty's heart, Qi Zongwen himself is very happy to do anything for Qin Yunyi.

"If you let me think about it again, I'll definitely come up with a good solution. ”

Qi Zongwen made a clear decree the next day, in view of the fact that the Queen Mother was seriously ill and thought of her relatives, she let Ru Concubine wear the crime and make meritorious service, and moved to Yushou Palace to serve the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother thought it was His Majesty's will, but when the concubine saw her, she cried, "I live in Ning Yuxuan, no matter when, as long as my aunt is still there, Your Majesty will always let me go out one day, and I can still wait for Your Majesty, and now Your Majesty has asked me to move to Yushou Palace, how can Your Majesty come to Yushou Palace to be fortunate to me." ”

What's the use of her freedom in Yushou Palace, she is already destined to be a widow for the rest of her life.

The Queen Mother also thought of this, and hurriedly asked someone to find His Majesty, "The people living in Yushou Palace are all widows, don't let Ru Concubine live in, it's unlucky." ”

The palace people who sent Ru Concubine hung their hands, "Your Majesty said, if the concubine made a big mistake, if it weren't for the Queen Mother, it would be necessary to punish it severely, and now it is to punish the Ru Concubine for serving the Queen Mother, if the Queen Mother is not satisfied, she can only send Ru Concubine out of the palace." ”
