She entered the palace every once in a while, chatted with the queen mother, and went to dine with the emperor. The emperor even decreed that she could enter and leave the court at will, eliminating a bit of red tape, and she no longer had to bow down. Such an inexplicable favor is already beyond the scope of the original love house and Wu that everyone speculated.

What's more, Pingle is still grounded, and her mother-in-law is not only not affected, but has become a popular figure. A lot of rumors just came out like this.

said that she relied on her beauty to charm the emperor.

Those people naturally didn't dare to chew the root of their tongue in front of the emperor, unless they didn't want their tongue anymore. So although she was a party, she hadn't heard those ugly words, but she still went back to the palace and sulked about her affairs. bluntly said that it was necessary to arrest and severely punish those who spread right and wrong in the palace, and she only knew about it.

She laughed it off.

When I entered the palace to see the Queen Mother on the second day, I saw several women kneeling in front of the Queen Mother's palace.

Yuan Diyi smiled, "Which play is this?"

The eunuch who led her the way said, "The Queen Mother punished Concubine Qiong and the concubines to kneel outside the hall, and they were not allowed to get up until three hours. ”

"Why?"

The eunuch glanced at her, and stopped talking. But she understood, this is unspeakable, and it is estimated that it has something to do with the rumors in the palace that Mu Sheng said that she had an ambiguous relationship with the emperor.

Yuan Diyi deliberately walked slowly to the concubines.

Those delicate women, who are the most precious on weekdays, have white and red skin, and now they are punished to kneel under the sun, and I don't know how many supplements I have to take to make up for it. didn't dare to cover it with an umbrella, so they used their hands to block the sun, and knelt crookedly, she only felt funny in her heart.

The first concubine in blue satin knelt straight, and her expression was arrogant and unstoppable. She deliberately stopped in front of the woman and stared at her condescendingly.

I only heard one of the kneeling women scolding, "Bold, you are from that palace." ”

Yuan Diyi didn't say anything, but gently admired the low posture of those women and dwarves on his face. The queen mother also gave her enough face, calculated the time when she entered the palace, and called the personal old palace maid Su Jin to come out to greet her.

That Su Jin was by the side of the Queen Mother before she left the cabinet, and she was very favored, and even the lady in the palace had to give three points of face when she saw it. When he came out, he heard someone say something disrespectful, so he said in a low voice, "The emperor has exempted Miss Yuan from the courtesy, even if you see the emperor and the queen mother, you don't need to salute." ”

Yuan Diyi was very interesting to see that the faces of those women had changed greatly, and stared at her up and down. I heard someone scolding lightly, "Fox." ”

Su Jin reminded, "Niangniang, be cautious." It should be clear why the mother was punished, if this word reaches the ears of the queen mother again, I am afraid that the queen mother will be displeased. After speaking, he turned to Yuan Diyi again, bowed humbly and said, "The Queen Mother has been waiting for the girl to come." ”

Yuan Diyi said decently, "It's not my way to ask the Queen Mother to wait for a long time." ”

Someone wanted to play this trick to the Queen Mother, thinking that the Queen Mother would come forward to remind the emperor that the title of Mingjun could not be tarnished because of a woman who already had a son in name and still wanted to marry the royal family.

The Queen Mother was furious and punished the concubines for kneeling under the scorching sun.

Yuan Diyi chuckled, and when she entered the queen mother's bedroom, she saw a woman sitting on one side with a graceful demeanor, and her makeup was not as heavy as that of the young concubine outside, but she was also very worthy of a dignified temperament.

The Queen Mother was quite happy to see Yuan Diyi, called her to sit beside her, and gossiped a few words. Yuan Diyi saw the colorful phoenix on the woman's clothes, and said with a delicate smile, "The first time I saw the queen's mother, I haven't saluted the queen's mother." ”

This queen is younger than she thought, and she looks in her thirties, much younger than the emperor.

The current emperor's wife died early, it seems that it was because the puppet emperor was in chaos back then, and he fled with the current emperor, and he couldn't stand it and left. This one seems to have been selected by the Queen Mother from among the two noble concubines with prominent family backgrounds, and it seems to be a relative of the Queen Mother's family.

Sometimes she feels that the relationship in the palace is really messy, putting aside the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and using an abacus to calculate, it is not necessary to say that it was a family five hundred years ago, and there must be some relatives or sisters-in-law between the three generations.

Song Lingpei, the concubine Qiong who was kneeling outside, her brother was a hussar general, and she was the brother of the current emperor. In addition to calling the emperor a husband, it seems that there is nothing wrong with shouting my brother when there is no one around. It's such a messy relationship, which is indispensable in the palace, just to consolidate power with relatives.

The Queen Mother said, "There is no need for these false courtesies. After speaking, he turned his head to the queen and said, "You should teach them a lesson, take care of your mouth, their duty is not to talk nonsense in the palace." ”

The queen bowed her head and said, "It's the uselessness of the concubines that I didn't take care of them." ”

The Queen Mother said with a look of hatred that iron is not made of steel, "It's good that you know it yourself, and the mourning family should take care of their old age when they are old." I want to entrust it to you, what one thing have you done well, and now you can't even manage your concubines, how can you still be the mother of the world. ”

The queen had nothing to refute, so she could only blindly repeat her mistake, "The concubine is useless." ”

The Queen Mother said, "The mourning family punished them as an example, so that the people in this palace did not dare to talk more, this time it was a small punishment and a big commandment, and if they committed it again, they would be punished heavily." ”

Emperor Yuan said, "Why should the Queen Mother be angry, it's not worth it to be angry." Rumors stop at the wise, and those who are clear will clear themselves, and they will not be spread again after a while. I see that these ladies are delicate, and if they kneel down again, they are only afraid of hurting their bodies. ”

The Queen Mother thought for a moment and ordered, "Let them in." ”

The eunuch went out to announce the decree, and after a while, the concubines limped in with the palace maid who were close to them, obviously kneeling and their legs numb.

The queen mother's face was stern, she knew that the concubines who came to her today to talk nonsense were nothing more than Qiong Guifei's horse head, so she warned Qiong Guifei who was the leader, "Your qualifications in the palace are not shallow, not only do you not help the queen take care of the harem, but you talk nonsense, and the emperor is also what you can say, lawless." ”

Concubine Qiong replied, "The concubine knows her mistake. ”

"It's good to admit your mistakes sincerely, don't be duplicitous. If it weren't for the queen and Miss Yuan to intercede for you, the mourning family would not have allowed you to get up. ”

Although Concubine Qiong was unconvinced, she didn't dare to offend the Queen Mother, so she had to thank the queen without smiling.

The Queen Mother punished, "Go back and copy the Buddhist scriptures, and calm down." ”

Several of the punished concubines said yes in unison, and they were supported by the palace maid and left.

The queen took out a booklet and handed it to the queen mother, "The prince who supports relatives is coming, this is prepared by the concubine, please take a look at the queen mother, and if there is a shortage, it is better to add it in time." ”

That Fuqi is a small country born in the northwest a few years ago, with few people and insufficient troops, in order to protect itself, it has been a vassal to the imperial court for several years. But even if it is a dependent subject country, it can't be neglected, and it can be called the prince of a country.

A great country should not be rude.

The Queen Mother took it and looked at it and said, "The mourning family has taught you to do things, that is, I trust you, you should make some decisions yourself, you don't have to come and ask for everything, you have no opinions." ”

The queen answered, and took the booklet back. sat quietly for a while, quiet and gentle, the queen mother didn't know what else to say for a while, everything that should be said was said, and it was in vain if she didn't listen.

So he waved his hand and let the queen go back.

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and only felt a headache. "This pile, one by one, is not to make the mourning family worry-free. ”

Emperor Yuan said, "I told the emperor not to worry, to be calm." Now these words are also said to the Queen Mother as they are, worrying and hurting the spleen. The queen mother is highly respected and blessed with longevity, and the princess's marriage is presided over by the queen mother, if the queen mother is willing to comb the princess, the princess will be full of children and grandchildren like the queen mother in the future. ”

The Queen Mother sighed slightly, "Shangcomb has to find someone with all six relatives to call it a good life, and the mourning family does not have that blessing." The palace maid offered nourishing stew, but the queen mother had no appetite, waved her hand, and let the stew cup be withdrawn.

She said, "If the Queen Mother is irritable and unhappy, she can do something else to divert her mind." ”

"When I was younger, I was willing to read a few books to pass the time, but now that I'm older, my eyes are not good. You can't do it anymore, you have to go to enjoy the flowers, and you can't always enjoy it every day, and when you are always bored, what else can you do. ”

She asked curiously, "Isn't there anything you once wanted to do but couldn't do, and now you want to get what you want?"

"When the mourning family was young, they lived for the emperor, the emperor left early, and they lived for the emperor, a woman is the most bitter, she should be widowed at an early age, and ......she lost her husband in old age, and she lost her old age" She paused, and the shrewdness and ability of reprimanding the concubine were gone, as if sitting in front of Yuan Diyi was just an ordinary old woman. "So the mourning family won't comb Pingle's hair. ”

Yuan Diyi smiled, "The Queen Mother should relax, the Queen Mother is the most blessed woman in the world." ”

The Queen Mother shook her head, "When I'm old, sometimes I want to complain, but I don't know who I can tell me, but I can't help but say it when I see the girl." ”

"It's the Queen Mother who doesn't dislike me for being stupid. ”

She knows very well that the other party's "complaints" are just to the point, who in this palace can not complain? It's just that no matter how deep the grievances are, they won't tell others with their hearts and lungs because they want to vent, and what they can say is not a secret.

The Queen Mother lived to this age, and it is estimated that there will be no shortage of secrets. Digging up a few sad springs and sorrows, not painful or itchy, is not an inner monologue with her, and it can be regarded as a closer relationship.

Maybe it's still going to lead to something......

Su Jin said, "In the past, the princess came to greet the Queen Mother every day, and there was a lot of laughter in this palace, but now that the princess is grounded, if she doesn't come, she looks deserted, and the Queen Mother laughs less." ”

The Queen Mother reprimanded, "Talkative." The emperor punished her right, and the mourning family disciplined her less, and although it was late to teach now, it was better than not to teach. ”

It was a test of her mind to see if she felt that the punishment was enough. Emperor Yuan said, "Filial piety comes first, since the Queen Mother has been depressed recently, the princess is the Queen Mother's pistachio, if you can coax the Queen Mother to make her face happy, it can be regarded as enjoyment." I think the emperor will understand. ”

The Queen Mother said, "No, the emperor has ordered her not to leave the dormitory for a single step before she gets married, and told her to think about it." ”

"The emperor's order naturally cannot be disobeyed. She paused and turned around, "But if the Queen Mother misses it, it seems understandable to move to see her granddaughter." I also want to meet the princess, and the Queen Mother will fulfill my thoughts. ”

She and the Queen Mother moved to Pingle's dormitory, and when Gong E saw the Queen Mother coming, she panicked and quickly knelt down to greet her. The Queen Mother asked someone to go in and spread the word, but she saw that the slaves were all kneeling, and no one dared to get up for a long time, so she saw that it was strange.
