Ling Haoyue accompanied the Queen Mother to talk for a while, the Queen Mother was old, and it didn't take long for her face to be tired. Ling Haoyue glanced at Qing Dai, and Qing Dai immediately stepped forward and saluted, "Queen Mother, it's time for your nap." ”

The Queen Mother smiled kindly: "The mourning family is old, and this energy can't keep up." ”

Ling Haoyue said with a smile: "Grandmother, it was Haoyue who jumped out too much and disturbed her grandmother's quietness, grandmother, you have to take a nap obediently." ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said with a smile: "You little monkey, go out and play, Qingdai, you follow the county lord and serve the county lord well." ”

……

Ling Haoyue went straight to the queen's Kunning Palace when she went out.

In Kunning Palace, the queen was talking to the prince, and suddenly heard the palace people coming to report that the lord of Haoyue came to ask for peace, so he ordered Ling Haoyue to come in.

"Haoyue asks the queen mother, the queen mother is blessed with gold. "Ling Haoyue performed standard palace etiquette, behaved moderately, and deserved the title of county lord.

The queen gave her a hand and said with a smile: "Hurry up." ”

Ling Haoyue saluted the crown prince Qin Jinghui again: "I have seen His Royal Highness the crown prince. ”

Qin Jinghui smiled and said goodbye, and asked the palace people to move the brocade stool to sit with her.

"I haven't seen the Lord of Haoyue for a long time, and now she has grown into a big girl. The queen laughed.

In the past, when Princess Anding was still there, she often took Ling Haoyue into the palace, and later the concubine and the princess both passed away, Ling Haoyue was devastated, and she had a heavy filial piety, let alone entering the palace, she almost didn't go out.

Ling Haoyue replied with a smile: "The courtiers used to be filial piety at home, and they didn't dare to move around at will, but today they still came into the palace with the eldest aunt and eldest sister, thinking that they hadn't come to ask the queen mother for a long time, so they came to meet the queen mother." ”

"What a filial child you are. The queen said, "Why don't you see the Duchess and Miss Lingguo?"

The queen is the master of the harem, and the ladies and ladies who enter the palace to worship should come to the queen to sit here according to the etiquette.

Ling Haoyue said with some hesitation: "Niangniang may not know that the eldest aunt and eldest sister are going to plead with the Queen Mother. ”

The queen was surprised, what kind of favor did she ask the queen mother?

The matter of Liuli Pavilion is boiling outside the palace, and the queen is not clear in the inner garden of the deep palace, and looks at the prince next to him, the prince often goes in and out of the palace, and the news inside and outside the palace should be better than her.

Qin Jinghui muttered: "My father received a letter from Nanqi, which said that the six princes of Nanqi planned to give a gift to the queen mother and wanted to buy it, and the six princes were angry and taught a lesson, this person is Ling Wanrou, the eldest lady of the Ling Guo Mansion. ”

"Ridiculous!" the queen reprimanded loudly, "The queen mother's things dare to cut off the beard, where has this Miss Ling learned all the etiquette of the boudoir!"

"The queen mother is angry, the eldest sister is also confused for a while, the eldest uncle and the eldest aunt have already blamed her, the eldest sister copied the female ring last night, and entered the palace this morning to dedicate it to the queen mother and ask the queen mother for forgiveness. ”

"Then what about them now?" the queen asked, the noble women of Western Qin provoked the six princes of Southern Qi, and the queen was wondering whether to take care of this matter. The Zhao family and the queen are still related, and the queen's sister-in-law and the Zhao family are sisters.

"The Queen Mother said that at this time, it was involved in the previous dynasty, and the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, so they let them go to the emperor by themselves, and then the eldest aunt and eldest sister left, and the queen mother left Haoyue to live in Shou'an Palace for a few days, so Haoyue didn't know how the eldest aunt and eldest sister were doing now. ”

Ling Haoyue's words sounded the alarm for the queen, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the monarch does not like anyone to interfere with his power the most, especially the Zhao family is still related to her, in order to avoid suspicion, she should not care.

"Hui'er, don't you still have something to do? you go get busy first, there is the Lord of Haoyue here in the palace. The queen said to the crown prince Qin Jinghui.

This matter, she, the queen, can't be contaminated, and the prince can't be contaminated, so the queen immediately sent the prince to deal with it, and she refused to refuse.

Soon after the prince said goodbye and left, someone from the palace came to report to the British duchess asking to see him.

The queen knew that the British duchess was her sister-in-law and the sister of the Zhao family, and she must have come to intercede.

"Let's just say that the palace is resting, and no one is in sight. The queen commanded.

Ling Haoyue hurriedly stopped her: "Niangniang, don't, Haoyue is here with Niangniang, if Haoyue goes out with her front foot, it will be rumored that Niangniang has annoyed the British Duchess, then Haoyue will be speechless, and beg Niangniang to be sympathetic to Haoyue." ”

The queen said in her heart: Originally, you came to the palace to talk nonsense, so the palace didn't want to see the British duchess. But after thinking about it, Ling Haoyue's parents died, and the Queen Mother was too old to protect her for a few days, she still had to rely on the Ling Guogong Mansion, and she really didn't need to drag the entire Guogong Mansion into a place of no return.

The queen thought about it, but still instructed the palace people: "Please invite the Duchess to come in." ”

"Niangniang, you have guests here, then Haoyue will go back to Shou'an Palace first. "The goal has been achieved, Queen Hengzhi will not help the Zhao family's mother and daughter, and it will be meaningless for her to stay here any longer.

The queen responded, and Ling Haoyue turned around and left, just passing by the British duchess at the door. The British duchess was in a hurry, so she didn't pay attention to which lady it was.

The British duchess came in and saluted the queen: "The concubine pays a visit to the queen." ”

"Get up. The queen rubbed her eyebrows, every time her mother's family came to ask her for something, she was a woman who had to bear the rise and fall of the entire family, and she really felt tired.

"Mother, please save my sister and niece. The British duchess didn't get up, and knelt directly on the ground and begged for mercy.

The queen said lightly: "You go, this palace is powerless in this matter." ”

The British duchess was dumbfounded, but she didn't expect the queen to reject her directly.

"Niangniang, you are the mother of a country, how can you be powerless. ”

The queen's expression became more and more cold, she is the queen, but she is also a person, not a god!

"The affairs of the previous dynasty involve the relations of the Southern Qi Dynasty, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, the palace has no right to intervene, and you go back to tell your brother that no one in the British government is allowed to interfere in this matter. ”

"Niangniang......" The British Mansion wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the queen: "Be careful, send Madame out." ”

The queen's attitude was very resolute, and the British duchess had to return in vain.

I sent the British Duchess to the door, and the British Duchess remembered the woman who passed by, and hurriedly asked, "Miss Jinyan, which young lady is here on Fang Cai's side?"

He replied in a respectful manner: "It's the Lord of Haoyue." ”

"Lord Haoyue?" the British duchess thought for a long time before she realized that it was the orphan of Ling Yuanqian and Princess Anding, the second room of the Ling Guo Mansion. She didn't know about the internal affairs of the Ling Guo Mansion, but she knew about the pickled things in the backyard, and then thinking about the characters of the Zhao family and Ling Wanrou, the British Duchess understood it at once.

As soon as she walked out of the palace gate, the British duchess instructed the maid Dilu beside her: "Dilu, if you go to the Lingguo Mansion, you will say that there is nothing I can do about this matter, only she can figure it out by herself." Also, be careful of the Lord of Haoyue. ”

When the Zhao family got the news, they almost fainted, it was Ling Haoyue again! The queen mother was there she stirred up, and the queen was there she made trouble. Thinking about it at that time in Liuli Pavilion, Ling Haoyue was sitting alone on the side, drinking tea and watching a play, could it be that this matter was arranged by her?

……

However, it was said that Ling Haoyue left Kunning Palace, but on the way back, she met the crown prince Qin Jinghui.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Ling Haoyue thought in her heart, the prince was probably deliberately blocking her here, and it was not surprising to think about it, it was not stupid for the prince to be able to stay in the East Palace for a long time.

"Cousin Haoyue, there is something unclear in this palace, please explain. ”

Ling Haoyue smiled faintly and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, please speak, Haoyue must know everything." ”

Qin Jinghui said with a smile: "Cousin Haoyue is worthy of being the daughter of Aunt Ling and Aunt Anding, she is clever, and the imperial grandmother and queen mother who said it in a few words have changed their minds, but this palace really doesn't understand why Cousin Haoyue must have trouble with the Ling Guo Mansion." ”

Ling Haoyue hooked her lips and smiled, and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wrong, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are both holy people, how can they be swayed by Haoyue, this crime of confusing people's hearts, Haoyue can't afford it." Second, Haoyue's surname is Ling, how can she not get along with the Ling Guo Mansion?"

Qin Jinghui obviously didn't believe her words, but Ling Hao's sharp mouth made him speechless.

"It's the palace that thinks about it, don't blame Cousin Haoyue. I'm afraid that the imperial grandmother is still taking a nap at this time, why don't you take you to the imperial garden for a walk?" Qin Jinghui said with a smile, the wind was light, as if nothing had happened just now.

"There is His Royal Highness Prince Lao. She wanted to see what tricks Qin Jinghui wanted to play. Qin Jinghui is not a person who passes in a few words, he must have other arrangements, she has to live in the palace for a while, and it is inevitable that she will have an intersection with the prince, rather than avoiding it, it is better to face it directly.

In the imperial garden, Ling Haoyue and Qin Jinghui walked side by side, one was the prince of the East Palace, and the other was the lord of the imperial court, which attracted a lot of burning eyes for a while.

"Brother Huang!" A man's voice came from the side, and the person who came was Qin Jingyi, the son of the imperial concubine and the fifth prince.

Ling Haoyue smiled secretly in her heart: It turns out that the crown prince's highlight is Qin Jingyi. It's a pity that he didn't expect that Qi Yan's matter had nothing to do with Qin Jingyi, and Qin Jingyi didn't recognize her at all.

"I didn't expect to see the royal brother here. Qin Jingyi smiled, and looked at the woman beside Qin Jinghui again, her face was pretty, and her smart eyes were particularly attractive.

"Who is this girl?" Qin Jingyi thought about it and couldn't remember who she was.

"This is Aunt Anding's daughter, Lord Haoyue. The crown prince Qin Jinghui said, but what he was thinking in his heart was that judging from Qin Jingyi's reaction, he clearly didn't know Ling Haoyue, could it be that he was really wrong?

Qin Jingyi said with a smile: "It turns out to be the lord of Haoyue, I am Qin Jingyi, the fifth prince." ”

Ling Haoyue saluted and said, "Ling Haoyue has seen the five princes. ”

Qin Jingyi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Lord Haoyue doesn't need to be polite, where is the imperial brother going to take you? I have never seen the imperial brother put down his official duties and accompany the girl for a walk in the imperial garden." ”

Prince Qin Jinghui's face sank, did he think he was being courteous like Ling Haoyue. Ling Haoyue is good-looking, and she is the lord of the county, but her parents are dead, and the relationship with the Ling Guo Mansion is so stiff at the moment, it can be said that there is no foundation, if she marries her, it will not be beneficial to the throne at all.
