Such a serious and serious Yueniang is something that Zhao Mingqi has never seen, Yueniang looks like a hanger on weekdays, even more like a gentleman than a gentleman, looking like she doesn't care about anything, but now, she is so calm and thoughtful, she has to make Zhao Mingqi look at Yueniang with admiration.

"Thank you Queen Mother, it is the honor of the courtiers to be so concerned by the Queen Mother, the courtiers have not seen the Queen Mother, before I came, I was still thinking, what the Queen Mother would be like, is it majestic and serious, or serious and inviolable, I didn't expect that now I have seen the Queen Mother, it is neither. ”

Yueniang looked at the queen with a smile, without the slightest feeling of fear or fear, but looked very beautiful.

"Oh, what does this palace look like in your eyes? When the queen saw Yueniang's appearance, she was not angry, but became interested.

"In my eyes, the queen mother is cute and delicate, otherwise how can she charm the emperor?" Fu Jiayue winked at the queen mother playfully, a pair of slender eyelashes flickered, looking very spiritual.

The queen mother listened to Yueniang's words, obviously in a good mood, covered her mouth, and laughed: "Ouch, this clever mouth is really good at talking, this word just entered the heart of the palace, grandma Sun, give the jade bracelet in the palace to Miss Fu, the palace likes her very much." ”

Mama Sun was standing behind the queen mother, and when she heard the queen mother calling her, she hurriedly answered, took out the box containing the jade bracelet, walked to Fu Jiayue, and handed it to Yueniang.

Grandma Sun's face was full of folds, but seeing that the queen mother liked Yueniang so much, Grandma Sun's face was also full of smiles, and at a glance, there were more folds on her face: "Miss Fu, this is prepared by the queen mother for today's outstanding people to appreciate the poetry banquet, originally the slave maid was still thinking about who would have such good luck, but I didn't expect that the first person to receive something was Miss Fu, it seems that the queen mother really likes Miss Fu very much, Miss Fu please put it away." ”

Yueniang accurately explored the important point in Mama Sun's words: "Mama is saying that this is the color of the queen's mother's poetry appreciation meeting?"

"That's right, that's what the slave and maid mean, it seems that Miss Fu is really talented and intelligent, and she explained everything that the slave didn't say clearly. Grandma Sun nodded, obviously very satisfied with Fu Jiayue.

Yueniang smiled, didn't say anything, just smiled and took the jade bracelet handed over by Grandma Sun: "I don't know what Grandma just said...... Is this the first thing? Is there anything else?"

"Yes, Miss Fu, in order to entertain all the sons and young ladies, the queen has specially prepared a lot of small things. This is the first thing to be given away. Mama Sun looked at Fu Jiayue with a smile on her face, thinking to herself, this Miss Fu is really interesting.

Yueniang nodded: "Thank you Grandma Sun." ”

"Miss Fu is polite. After Mama Sun said this, she walked back to the queen's side.

At this time, the queen's attention is no longer on the three of them, after all, there are so many young ladies in the garden today, everyone will greet the queen, the queen can't always pay attention to this side, or deal with others.

Yueniang accepted the bracelet and handed it to Zhuling behind her, Zhuling hurriedly took it carefully and put it away, after all, this is the queen's mother's stabbing thing, and it must not fall.

Seeing that Zhuling was put away, Yueniang turned around and saw Zhao Mingqi looking at herself with a deep face.

"What do you want to ask? Hurry up and ask, only this one chance, if you miss this village, you won't have this shop!" Yueniang's face had no expression, as if it was hidden deeply, and it seemed that she had no scheming.

Zhao Mingqi raised his eyebrows, and the expression on his face was very serious: "Why are you so easy to deal with? Don't you worry that the queen mother will blame us at all? After all, among so many ladies, you are the only one who did not go to say hello to the queen mother." ”

Zhao Mingqi asked the doubts in his heart.

Yueniang blinked: "Who said that? Isn't there still Jingshu! Jingshu, like me, didn't go to say goodbye to the queen's mother......"

"I mean it...... I was wrong just now, good sister, just tell me? Why weren't you scared just now? Aren't you afraid of the queen mother's punishment?" Zhao Mingqi asked again.

Yueniang raised her eyebrows: "What are you afraid of? Today is a garden party, such a big day, it is still organized by the queen mother, if she treats me for this trivial matter, won't she slap herself in the face?"

After listening to Yueniang's words, Zhao Mingqi felt that what Yueniang said was also reasonable, so he nodded: "What you said also makes sense...... However, it is already good that the queen mother does not punish the sin, so why should she reward you with things?"

"I don't know about this, you better go and ask your queen mother!" Yueniang said nonchalantly.

Zhao Mingqi pursed his lips, how could he ask the queen mother? Yueniang obviously didn't want to tell him when she said this, but it wasn't an important matter, just don't say it, and he wasn't very curious.

At this time, most of the sons and young ladies had already arrived, and the queen also took her attention back and looked at the center, where the women's various dresses were not eye-catching.

But in such a harmonious scene, there is a trace of discordant people appearing.

A woman appeared noisily in the middle of everyone, Yueniang frowned, looked in the direction of the woman, found that she didn't know, turned her head to look at Zhao Mingqi, Zhao Mingqi saw the puzzled gaze cast by Yueniang, and explained: "That's the eldest brother's concubine, the daughter of the Shen family, Shen Cangqian." ”

Yueniang nodded, for the Shen family, she still knows something, the Shen family is a mansion that has just been established in the past hundred years, although there is no one in the family to watch, but it has a good mind to engage in business, and within a few years, the Shen family will develop a big business, if it is about identity, a businessman's daughter will not marry into the royal family no matter what, but the Shen family is too rich to threaten the royal economy, therefore, the eldest prince also took a fancy to this point, so he married the eldest daughter of the Shen family.

Shen Cangqian doesn't look like a lady now, but, think about it, she was born in a merchant family naturally doesn't have so many rules, and naturally she doesn't know how to know etiquette as well as the young lady of the official family, of course, Yueniang is an exception, because Yueniang didn't grow up in Fu Mansion since she was a child, so her education was not so strict.

But the eldest prince stood aside with a look of disgust, as if he didn't want to pay attention to Shen Cangqian's affairs, Yueniang was very puzzled, on such a big day, how could the eldest prince let Shen Cangqian show this appearance on such a day?

"Who is making trouble?" The queen mother tilted her head and asked Grandma Sun beside her, because the position where Yueniang was standing was not far from the queen's mother, so she could also hear the conversation between the queen mother and Grandma Sun.

Mama Sun whispered in the queen's ear: "Back to the queen, it's the eldest princess who is making noise." ”

The queen mother seemed to have a displeased expression, but she couldn't ignore it, so she said: "Qian'er, you came to tell the queen mother what is going on? What are you talking about? Don't you know what day it is?

Shen Cangqian listened to the words of the queen mother, looked at the queen mother with tears in her eyes, and slowly walked towards the queen mother, and everyone on the road gave way to Shen Cangqian.

When she was about the same distance, Shen Cangqian finally stopped and saluted the queen's mother: "Erchen see the queen's mother." ”

"Tell this palace what's going on? What are you making trouble there? Don't you know what day it is?" The queen mother was a little angry, after all, today was the garden party she held, and she invited the children of all the officials and ministers who were officials in the court in Beijing, didn't Shen Cangqian slap her in the face by doing this?

Shen Cangqian looked resentful, as if she didn't realize that the queen mother was angry, and said: "Queen Mother, don't you know, Erchen also has his own reasons for doing this, Erchen really doesn't want to mention it in front of so many people, after all, this is Erchen's own family matter, but Erchen really can't bear it anymore." ”

"Then tell me, what's going on, what makes you so angry?" The queen mother put away the annoyed expression on her face, and Yueniang also looked at Shen Cangqian with a good look.

Because Yueniang carefully noticed the expression of the eldest prince, as if she was very disgusted with Shen Cangqian, and now when she saw Shen Cangqian talking in front of the queen, she didn't stop her, and let Shen Cangqian say it, Yueniang guessed that it was probably a private matter between the couple and their husband.

Since it is a private matter, it must be a very serious matter to be able to make Shen Cangqian make such a big fuss at the garden party held by the queen mother herself, otherwise, Shen Cangqian is not the master of unknown things, she has been in the royal palace for so long, and she also knows the rules, so she will never make such a trouble.

As soon as Yueniang thought of this, she heard Shen Cangqian speak.

"The queen mother doesn't know, the eldest prince has not returned home these days, I heard that the eldest prince has been going to Wangchun Tower in the capital these days, so he will not go home, please the queen mother, I definitely did not mean to disrupt the rhythm of the queen mother. Shen Cangqian said with a look of resentment.

"Wangchun Tower?" the queen was puzzled, what kind of place is this?

And after hearing the words "Wangchun Tower", many young masters and sons in the Imperial Garden showed subtle expressions on their faces.

"Yes...... It's been a very lively place in the capital lately...... Qinglou ......" Shen Cangqian hesitated, but still told the queen.

"Is there such a thing?" the queen mother frowned, looked at Shen Cangqian, it didn't look like she was lying, and then looked at the eldest prince, seeing the subtle affection on the eldest prince's face, and the aggrieved look on Shen Cangqian's face, the queen mother immediately believed what Shen Cangqian said.

"Nonsense! What nonsense! How can a dignified son go to such a place? You are not afraid of staining your eyes!" the queen mother slapped the coffee table in front of her, very annoyed.

Shen Cangqian was relieved to see that the queen mother believed what she said, in fact, Shen Cangqian was still more worried, after all, she was the daughter of a businessman, and her background was not as good as the daughter of these official families, so she naturally felt that she was inferior to others, and she was also afraid that the queen mother would favor the eldest prince, so she didn't believe what she said at all.

Now, seeing that the queen mother has believed what she said, she is naturally relieved, she is also worried that the queen mother will say that she is talking nonsense, and then say that she disturbs the palace and punishes her.

The eldest prince was named and had to stand up: "Queen Mother, what Qian'er said is right, it's true that Erchen went to Wangchun Tower, but Erchen was also ordered by his father to investigate the assassination of the third son of the Xie family and the eldest lady of the Fu family half a month ago!"

Yueniang heard the eldest prince mention herself, her heart moved, it turned out that it was because of this? She thought that the emperor had already forgotten about this matter and had long since ignored it, but she didn't expect to send the eldest prince to investigate.

"Oh, is that because of this?" the queen raised her eyebrows.

The eldest prince clenched his fists: "That's right, it is precisely because of his father's order that Erchen will go to Wangchun Tower, not because of Erchen himself, if it is not because of his father's will, how can Erchen go to a place like Wangchun Tower?"

When the queen mother heard this, her face softened, she also knew about this matter, but she didn't expect the emperor to hand over this matter to the eldest prince to investigate, it was really surprising, originally after the emperor said that he would hand over this matter to the criminal department to deal with, everyone felt that the emperor would not care about this matter.

Because, everyone knew that the cases handed over to the Criminal Department for handling were inconclusive, but they didn't expect that the emperor would later hand over this matter to the eldest prince to deal with, which was also something that everyone couldn't imagine.

"In this way, it can't be said that the emperor went to that kind of place wrong, it's just for the emperor's explanation, Qian'er, don't mind, you have to be considerate, do you know?" said the queen mother as she seemed to understand.

Yueniang pouted, she didn't agree with what the queen said, how could it be possible for a man to go to that good place to investigate the case?

Looking at Shen Cangqian's appearance, she must not know this kind of thing, otherwise, Shen Cangqian would not have made a fuss about this matter at the garden party, and the queen's appearance seems to have just known, therefore, this is also where Yueniang is puzzled, since the emperor handed over this matter to the eldest prince to deal with, why does no one know?

And Shen Cangqian looked like she had made a mistake, and lowered her head: "After returning to my mother, I know, so that's the case, it turns out that I misunderstood the eldest prince." ”

"It's good to know, hurry up, since everything is clear, let's get up quickly, we must be harmonious with husband and wife in the future, and we must not be so willful anymore. Although the queen mother had a smile on her face, Yueniang understood it, but this smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, and it was to deal with Shen Cangqian at a glance.

But Yueniang is not broken, although Shen Cangqian can make trouble at this garden party, then Shen Cangqian also has her own ability, although Shen Cangqian is not an official lady, but her family has money!

Shen Cangqian is still the daughter of the Shen family, and with such a wealthy family business, it is still not to be underestimated, but these rules have fallen a lot, obviously the eldest prince is also very troubled, but helplessly the family has money, and the eldest prince may have to rely on the financial resources of the Shen family in the future, so he can't do anything to Shen Cangqian.

After all, this road was chosen by the eldest prince himself, and he did not choose an official lady to marry, but chose the daughter of a businessman, which has advantages and disadvantages, but whether it is good or bad, it is the path chosen by the eldest prince himself.

There may be some roads that are more difficult to follow, and some roads that are shortcuts, but no matter what, they are all self-chosen, and they must go on their own no matter what.

Also, the eldest prince doesn't want an official lady, but wants a businessman's daughter, which has to make people's hearts start to think, what is the eldest prince going to do? Marrying an official lady is very helpful to his future, but Yueniang's heart fell into contemplation.

The eldest prince is definitely not as simple as liking Shen Cangqian, because the money of the Shen Mansion is almost worth all the property of all the rich families in the entire capital, and the eldest prince must have his own ideas when he marries Shen Cangqian.

Like what...... The Shen family is so rich, it is natural that they can afford the high cost of garrisoning, not to mention, which prince has no ambitions? Although the crown prince has already decided on a candidate, this does not mean that their other princes have no chance.

Presumably, the eldest prince will not give up that position easily in his heart, after all, it is a position above ten thousand people, and a word has the power to change the color of heaven and earth, who doesn't like it?

Yueniang squinted, she seemed to have noticed a trace of unusual aura flowing in this space, a bit like the smoke of war, a bit like a forecast before the storm.

However, Yueniang didn't say anything, after all, this was her own guess, even if the eldest prince had this heart, it would not be her turn to say, this is a royal matter, Yueniang is not like marrying into the royal family and staying in this cage, therefore, there is no need to remind anything.

What the eldest prince wants to do is the eldest prince's own business, even if Yueniang guesses, she must forget about this matter, otherwise, if something is discovered, it is very likely that she will be killed.

Shen Cangqian's matter was solved like this, but Yueniang looked at the eldest prince's expression, and she didn't look very happy, but stared at Shen Cangqian fiercely, unable to see a trace of husband and wife love, and Shen Cangqian's side, after the queen mother asked her to get up, stood aside.

Just now, Shen Cangqian thought that when the eldest prince went to Wangchun Tower to do something wrong, he was very aggrieved, but now that he knows the facts, he doesn't show that he is clear or understand, he is still worried, Yueniang doesn't know what Shen Cangqian is worried about, but her intuition tells her that the relationship between the eldest prince and Shen Cangqian is not so simple.

It's just that now what the relationship between the two of them, or what kind of deal there is, is still unknown, and Yueniang can't make a decision easily, she just feels that the atmosphere between the two of them is very embarrassing.

Besides, Shen Cangqian just said that she would behave like this at the garden party because of the eldest prince's nostalgia for Wangchun Tower, but the matter has been resolved and the truth has been revealed, why is Shen Cangqian still unhappy?

Yueniang didn't understand, but she also knew that no one could solve her doubts at this time, so it was better to bury this matter deep in her heart......

"What are you thinking? So distracted? Zhao Mingqi poked his head over and said beside Yueniang.

Yueniang shook her head and smiled: "It's nothing." ”

"Yueniang, I think we already have a very good relationship, looking at your appearance, it is obvious that you have something on your mind, but since you don't want to say it, then I won't ask, wait until you want to say it, when will you tell me." Zhao Mingqi thought for a moment, and then said.

Yueniang was stunned for a moment, knowing that Zhao Mingqi was thinking too much, she didn't mean that at all just now, and she didn't mean not to treat Zhao Mingqi as a friend at all, but Yueniang felt that it was better not to tell others about this kind of thing, after all, it was something she guessed, there was no basis, and there was no reason, it was just a simple intuition.

"You...... I didn't mean that, I just felt like something wasn't quite right. Didn't you notice? Miss Shen...... Oh. No, it should be the eldest princess, she originally said that she was making trouble because the eldest prince was nostalgic for Wangchun Tower, but under the explanation of the eldest prince and the confirmation of the queen's mother, she knew that the eldest prince went to Wangchun Tower because of the mission sent by the emperor, so after the truth is revealed, shouldn't the matter be resolved? However, if you look at the expression of the eldest princess, it doesn't look like she has solved the problem...... It's like ...... It's like putting out the matter of the eldest prince going to Wangchun Tower to cover up something. ”

Yueniang thought about it, but still told Zhao Mingqi, when Zhao Mingqi heard this, his body stiffened, and then his eyes looked at Shen Cangqian, indeed, Shen Cangqian had a faint worry on her face at this time, and her brows were only wrinkled, as if there was something unspeakable.

"Indeed, I just glanced at the eldest princess, and I really feel that she seems to have something to hide from the queen mother, and it will definitely not be as simple as being unhappy just because the eldest brother went to Wangchun Tower. Zhao Mingqi also looked at Shen Cangqian and saw that something was wrong with the expression on Shen Cangqian's face.

Yueniang nodded, her tightly frowning brows showed that she was not at peace at this time, and she didn't know why, since Shen Cangqian just came out, she felt that things were very wrong, and it was not as simple as Shen Cangqian and the eldest prince said.

Looking at the eldest prince again, the impatience on his face was very obvious, I don't know if it was impatience with this garden party or impatience with Shen Cangqian, but these things are not things that Yueniang should pay attention to now.

"Also, if you look at the eldest prince again, he seems to have something going on. Yueniang reminded Zhao Mingqi in a low voice.

Zhao Mingqi followed what Yueniang said and glanced at the eldest prince, indeed, as Yueniang said, the eldest prince also looked very uneasy.

"What's going on today...... When I got up this morning, I heard two little eunuchs talking behind the window, asking the other one if everything was ready, and I wondered why the two eunuchs were outside my house, and they must have thought that I had gone to the court early in the morning, so they were so unscrupulous. ”

Zhao Mingqi thought back to this morning's events, these things made him feel very strange, it was obviously a good, lively garden party, but there was such an incident, although the matter between Shen Cangqian and the eldest prince had been said on the surface, resolved, and made clear, but, looking at the appearance of the two, they all had their own hearts.

I don't know why, is there anyone going to make trouble at today's garden party?

However, who would make trouble today? Is it so unusual? Today is a garden party held by the queen mother herself, and if she makes trouble at the garden party, doesn't she just don't give the queen mother face? And who in the whole world would be unhappy on such an important day?

Yueniang couldn't understand, she didn't understand why a good garden party would become like this, at this time, Yueniang felt that the laughter and laughter in the imperial garden just now were gone, and the rest was just everyone's thoughts.

Yueniang shook her head, trying to get rid of this thought.

"Perhaps...... Forget it, don't think about these things, I have a headache when I think about it, let's take a good look at what shows are next, I heard that the queen mother specially invited a lot of sons and buddies to come up with ideas for today's garden party, and it will definitely not disappoint. ”

Since I can't figure it out, then I don't want to think about it first, anyway, Yueniang came to the palace today to play, to breathe, the events of the other day really made her stuffy, and now, with such a good opportunity to relax, how could Yueniang disrupt her plans and rhythm because of other people's things?

"You're right, but we'd better be careful, or we'll fall into the trap they've designed. Although the eldest brother seems to have no ambition for the throne, since he has no ambition, why do he still need the protection of the Shen family? Why do you want to marry the concubine of the Shen family? The eldest brother is also quite hidden. Zhao Mingqi frowned tightly, he always felt that it was not a good thing to make such a thing at the beginning of today, as if it was an omen.

And if the eldest prince has no ambition, why would he marry the eldest lady of the Shen family? A woman who has not read many books and has no rules, isn't it because the family has money?

If the eldest prince had no ambitions, would he marry her? It was nothing more than that he took a fancy to the family background behind Shen Cangqian, not the daughter of a minister, but she was born in a merchant family, so she was married by the eldest prince and became the eldest princess.

It is nothing more than because Shen Cangqian's family controls the economy of the capital, not only the capital, but also the Northern Wilderness and Southern Xinjiang have the power of the Shen family, I have to say that the Shen family has been operating the economy in this area very well in recent years, maybe the Shen family is also ambitious.

's own daughter married the eldest prince, and the Shen family naturally supported the eldest prince unconditionally, because when Shen Cangqian married the eldest prince, it was destined that the Shen family would be in the same vein as the eldest prince at that moment and support the eldest prince, and if the eldest prince sat on the throne in the future, then Shen Cangqian, even if she was the daughter of a businessman, would sit on the throne of the queen.

It was with such calculations that the Shen family married their daughter Shen Cangqian to the eldest prince, and the eldest prince also valued the wealth of the Shen family and the economic resources all over the place, so he would marry Shen Cangqian, otherwise, Shen Cangqian, the daughter of a businessman, a woman who has not learned much about etiquette, will enter the eyes of the eldest prince?

The eldest prince grew up in the palace since he was a child, although the mother died unexpectedly, was handed over to the queen, and was taught by the queen, but the eldest prince's vision is also very high, including beautiful women, the eldest prince has seen a lot.

If it weren't for his ambition, would he tolerate Shen Cangqian's not big or small? Would he tolerate Shen Cangqian's ignorance of the rules? If it weren't for the Shen family behind Shen Cangqian, the eldest prince wouldn't have spoiled Shen Cangqian so tolerantly!

What woman has the eldest prince never seen? Whether it is a knowledgeable and reasonable, or a small jasper, or a gentle and elegant, or a dignified and virtuous woman, the eldest prince has seen it, which of these women does not have to be sensible to Shen Cangqian? Which one is not more worry-free than Shen Cangqian?

Why didn't the eldest prince choose them, but chose Shen Cangqian? It was just because the Shen family behind Shen Cangqian had a great business and could unconditionally support the eldest prince in making his plans.

After all, the lord of the Shen family also knew that in terms of identity, Shen Cangqian was not worthy of the eldest prince no matter what, but the eldest prince still made Shen Cangqian the concubine of the eldest prince, which made the lord of the Shen family very frightened, so because of this incident, he decided to stand on the same line with the eldest prince.

I don't know if the emperor is aware of the ambition of the eldest prince, but the emperor can be the emperor for so long, and his mind and brain should not be comparable to ordinary people, otherwise, just poisoning and assassination will be enough for the old emperor to die hundreds of times.

Yueniang thought of this, so she nodded: "That's right, you're right, I always think that today's garden will not be very peaceful, let's be careful, the so-called, be careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years, it's always right to be careful, you don't run around, the province is caught by someone." ”

"I should have said this to you, right? I think you don't run around...... Don't be caught by anyone, after all, I am still the third prince, who will have nothing to touch my moldy head? Except for my brothers, no one has the courage to do this. Zhao Mingqi looked at Yueniang with a smile, and told Yueniang's words again.

Yueniang was speechless, could it be that her image was already so unbearable? Obviously, she instructed the three princes, but the three princes took her and said that she was ...... Truth be told, does she really cause trouble?

Who would like to cause trouble? Don't talk about it, it's not easy to deal with, after all, this is the palace, and Yueniang is also a person who knows how to measure.

"I know it all...... You treat me like a child? It's not the first time I've come to the palace, I know the rules here, why are you like my father? Worried about this, worried about that, I'm just going to let you worry about it?" Yueniang looked at Zhao Mingqi, as if she wanted to see some other expression on Zhao Mingqi's face.

Zhao Mingqi spread his hands: "Don't compare me to Master Fu, I'm not that old, besides, I'm not saying this for your good? I'm worried about you, your temperament is so reckless, in case you run around in the palace, you bump into some young lady, or which concubine, you can bear it." ”

Yueniang nodded, she knew that Zhao Mingqi was also for her good, but she was afraid that she would encounter something in the palace and she would not be able to handle it well, so she would say this, but although Yueniang knew in her heart that Zhao Mingqi was worried about herself, she still looked very disdainful on her face.

"How can I be as bad as you say? I am also loved by everyone, and I am good at seeing flowers? Who cares about me? They must all know what kind of person I am...... I remember that when I first went back to the Fu Mansion, there was a lot of commotion, so even if I was rude in front of them, or said something wrong, I would have been understood. Yueniang and Zhao Mingqi are like this, although they know that the other party is for their own good, but they will not show this emotion on the surface.

"You can't say that, you don't know the concubines in the palace, but I grew up in the palace since I was a child, and I have also seen the methods of those women in my father's palace, they are definitely not the masters who will not cause trouble, you see them, it is best to take a detour, otherwise, even if you don't provoke them, they will come to you for trouble." Zhao Mingqi said to Yueniang very seriously.

Yueniang couldn't understand it, well, why did they come to her trouble?

Yueniang turned her questioning gaze to Zhao Mingqi: "Are they sick? I saw them walking around, obviously I just don't want to have anything to do with them? In this case, don't they understand what I mean? Why do you want to trouble me?"

"You don't know, my father is now old, so he can't ...... Ahem, you can't have sex anymore, the imperial doctor said that it is not good for your health, therefore, the ladies of the harem are at the age of flowers and moons, and they are naturally lonely in spring, but they are still the concubines of their father, although they are not favored, they still have to abide by the rules of the palace, no one dares to secretly find a man, therefore, they can only find a woman to relieve their boredom. Zhao Mingqi listened word by word.

When Yueniang heard this, her body stiffened.

"Now, the queen mother held this garden party, such a lively day, how can there be so many girls who are very bored all day long, and have nothing to do? Therefore, they will definitely behave well today, if they can get a few glances from their father, or a few words of praise, in their opinion, today is a harvest, not in vain. Zhao Mingqi explained to Yueniang very patiently.

Zhao Mingqi was afraid that Yueniang would not understand, so he deliberately said it in such detail, but Zhao Mingqi forgot that Yueniang just now was not afraid in front of the queen mother, and she could get rid of the blame for herself and Zhao Mingqi, how could she not understand what Zhao Mingqi said?

Also, Yueniang can still see the improper relationship between Shen Cangqian and the eldest prince, and can also discuss it with Zhao Mingqi, how can she not understand the meaning of what Zhao Mingqi said?

It's just to let her stay here and not run around, so as not to touch the moldy head of any concubine.

Listening to Zhao Mingqi's words, Yueniang felt that these people who were greedy for glory and wealth, and even thought of sending their daughters into the palace after squeezing their heads, were simply stupid, such a boxy cage, sending their daughters in, wouldn't it be to put their daughters in the palace for the rest of their lives?

However, the current ministers and officials have set their sights on the princes, and there are many who want to marry their daughters to the princes, but they still need to discuss their rights and interests.

For example, the crown prince, the prince now has a quasi-princess, even if he marries the prince again, at most he can only be a side concubine, and the side concubine, although it sounds good, is just a concubine to understand.

However, now the old emperor has no intention of abdicating, so the crown prince does not know when he will be able to take that position, and the ministers have a trace of luck in their hearts.

What if the other princes have a chance to become emperors? What if the crown prince is brought down...... Of course, more than one minister thinks so, like Shen Cangqian's father mentioned before, the master of the Shen family thinks so.

It also includes the purpose and intention of the eldest prince, which makes Yueniang feel that there is really a sinister person in this palace, what kind of right will make these princes and ministers not hesitate to sacrifice their family affection, and they will not hesitate to sacrifice their daughters, and they will have to sit in that position?

Yueniang naturally can't figure out these things, of course, Yueniang doesn't plan to marry into the royal family, but Yueniang also understands that as the eldest lady of the Fu family, the marriage is naturally not up to her.

It would be easier to say if the ministers with lower official positions were because they didn't have so much power, and they didn't have the power that the old emperor valued, which made their young ladies and young masters more free, and they could decide their own marriage with only the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker.

It's just that, of course, it is not ruled out that these low-ranking ministers also want to send their daughters to the palace, and Yueniang also understands this, so she did not overturn a boatload of people with a stick.

Because there are exceptions, such as Yueniang's father, that is, Fu Ruiyuan, I just hope that Yueniang can grow up well, don't cause trouble, and follow her heart to find someone who loves and cares about her.

Yueniang also understands in her heart that Fu Ruiyuan is really good to her, although sometimes she is a little strict, but it is all for Yueniang, Fu Ruiyuan is actually very guilty of Yueniang, and he is very caring.

After all, Yueniang is his daughter, after all, Yueniang has not grown up by his side since she was a child.

"You say...... In addition to letting everyone know each other and get acquainted with each other, except for the queen mother who is bored in the palace, of course this is impossible, the queen mother is like this in the palace all year round, it is certainly not because of this reason, presumably, the queen mother holds a garden party, and the father also agrees. Zhao Mingqi seemed to be talking to Yueniang, and he seemed to be talking to himself.

Yueniang rolled her eyes: " It must have been agreed by the emperor, I think, the queen must have discussed with the emperor before deciding to hold a garden party, otherwise, with the queen's harem status, it is already very good to be able to invite so many young ladies, there are so many masters here, and ministers, men are not allowed to enter the harem in ancient times, except for the emperor, now, these people are gathered together because of a few words from the queen, and there must be the emperor's consent here, otherwise, with the prestige of the queen, this cannot be done. ”

Zhao Mingqi nodded and looked at Yueniang a little: "I haven't seen it thoroughly as much as you little girl." ”

Yueniang glanced at Zhao Mingqi triumphantly, she understood what Zhao Mingqi meant, Zhao Mingqi undoubtedly felt that she was usually too good at playing scoundrels, too unreasonable, and too much worse than what she is now, so she said so, but Yueniang didn't explain anything.

Because, Yueniang also understands that in the palace, if you are not careful, you will fall into the hands of others, even if Yueniang does not consider herself, she must consider Fu Ruiyuan, consider Fu Mingxuan and Fu Jingshu, consider Fu Fu, this is also what Yueniang is worried about.

She is not a single individual now, there is the entire Fu Mansion behind her, she can't be impulsive, thinking of this, Yueniang took a deep breath and suppressed the impulse in her heart.

Originally, Yueniang still wanted to find out, because she was really curious, but she thought about Fu Fu and Fu Ruiyuan, and finally suppressed the thoughts in her heart.

Fu Ruiyuan is right, today's garden party seems to be a simple garden party, but at this time, the palace is already turbulent, Yueniang now feels that everyone's face has a good attitude of watching a show, and everyone's eyes can't smile at the bottom of their eyes, as if they also see that today's garden party is premeditated.

However, Yueniang is still very curious, what is it that can make the queen mother hold a garden party with such fanfare, and invite all the children of the official family, but what is behind all this, it will soon be known.

"Actually, there are still a lot of things you don't know! I will scare you to death in the future, by the way, look at Shen Cangqian, on her face, do you see anything?" Yueniang felt that today was really getting more and more interesting.

"What? What's wrong with her face? Tsk, don't you say it, I haven't found out yet, this Shen Cangqian is still quite good. Zhao Mingqi said with interest.

Yueniang rolled her eyes: "You just saw that she looks very good?

When Zhao Mingqi heard this, he immediately got serious, put aside all the improprieties just now, looked at Shen Cangqian seriously, but still shook his head: "I didn't find it...... There's nothing dirty on her face, what's wrong? What do you see?"

Yueniang smiled: "Do you feel that there is some uneasy atmosphere at today's garden party? The factors in the air are a little restless, thinking that something may happen." ”

When Zhao Mingqi heard this, he also felt this breath, and nodded hurriedly: "That's right, I also feel it, and there are still many obscure breaths in the secret places of the palace, it must be the secret guard of the father, such an activity, the father and the emperor even sent the secret guard, which is really abnormal." ”

Yueniang's heart moved, and there were secret guards? She didn't notice it, however, Zhao Mingqi has been a martial artist since he was a child, so he is naturally more sensitive, thinking of this, Yueniang suddenly began to envy Zhao Mingqi, not only Zhao Mingqi, but also so many people who can learn martial arts, Yueniang is very envious.

Not only can she strengthen her body, but she can also protect herself, so why not?

Yueniang's heart was very worried, according to Fu Ruiyuan's temperament, there should be little hope, Fu Ruiyuan wanted to protect her, but, in Fu Ruiyuan's opinion, staying in Fu Mansion was already very safe, but Fu Ruiyuan did not calculate that even if it was Fu Mansion, there might be internal ghosts.

Yueniang didn't know how to mention this matter to Fu Ruiyuan, but there was still time in the future, and she could slowly suggest to Fu Ruiyuan in the future, if it didn't work, if she didn't agree, she would say it slowly.

Thinking of this, Yueniang's heart thought about it again, since there is still time in the future, I don't want to think so much now, let's deal with the next things.

"I didn't realize there were guards. Yueniang smiled.

"It's normal that you didn't notice it, these secret guards are the closest and most trusted secret guards around my father, and I can only detect a trace of a very unusual atmosphere, so I guessed that it should be my father's secret guard. Zhao Mingqi patiently explained to Yueniang.

Yueniang nodded, in this way, her heart was a little balanced, otherwise, there were these masters hidden by her side, and everyone would panic in their hearts.

"By the way, you just let me see Shen Cangqian's face, is there anything on her face?" Zhao Mingqi thought of what happened just now and asked again.

Yueniang smiled: "Look carefully, Shen Cangqian's nose and eyes." Isn't there a layer of dead air?"

"Dead air?" Zhao Mingqi heard this and looked in the direction of Shen Cangqian.

Sure enough, Shen Cangqian's brows were surrounded by a layer of black gas, which made Zhao Mingqi feel shocked again: "This ...... What's going on?" I didn't see it when I didn't pay attention to it just now, but now, hearing Yueniang say this, Zhao Mingqi also noticed Shen Cangqian's situation.

"I don't know, I'm afraid there will be an accident at today's garden party, although it is said to be a garden party with a good meaning, but I always feel that it is not so calm on the surface, it was calm before the storm, and the matter of Shen Cangqian, the eldest prince, just now is estimated to be just the beginning, presumably there will be many accidents today......"

Yueniang rationally analyzed what with Zhao Mingqi, Yueniang didn't have any familiar people in the palace, so only Zhao Mingqi could speak, but just before Yueniang's words were finished, she heard screams in the imperial garden one after another......

"What's going on?What's going on?" Yueniang stood up suddenly, was it really as she expected? Things came so quickly that people were not prepared at all.

Yueniang didn't expect something to happen so soon.

The queen also heard this voice, and a majestic voice came out: "What's the matter?"

At this time, Grandma Sun walked over with a pale face: "Back to the queen, just now...... I found a few snakes just now, and they seem to have very bright eyes, they should be poisonous snakes......"

"What? How can there be poisonous snakes in the palace?" the queen mother heard this, her face was not very good, this was a garden party held by her, if there was any accident here, her responsibility was very great, presumably she could not escape the responsibility.

"The slave and the maid don't know. Grandma Sun obviously thought of this, and her face was very ugly.

Just when the queen mother was at a loss and Yueniang was thinking deeply, a sharp voice came: "The emperor has arrived-"

The emperor is here...... The queen's face was even more ugly, but Yueniang felt interesting at this time, just said that there was a poisonous snake in the imperial garden, and the emperor came at this time, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional.

If it is said on purpose, why did the emperor come to the Imperial Garden at this time, Yueniang didn't believe it, the Imperial Garden is making such a big move now, the emperor will not know, the emperor must know about the Imperial Garden, otherwise it would not have been so coincidental at this time.

When everyone heard this announcement, their faces were originally very frightened, but now they became even more frightened, as if the emperor was some kind of flood beast, Yueniang was not afraid, but looked at the expressions of the people in the imperial garden with an interesting face.

The queen mother has not changed much, her face is still the same as just now, but it is a little more ugly, presumably she is afraid that the emperor will blame her, and Shen Cangqian is looking idle, as if all this happening has nothing to do with her, and Concubine Xin's face is also very bad, compared with the queen mother, it is outdated, Yueniang feels that it is really more and more interesting to get the garden party today.

"See the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live. "Whether it is the concubines, or the queen, or the sons and daughters, they all knelt in a row at this time.

Of course, Yueniang was no exception, kneeling with everyone, the emperor looked at the crowd and nodded with satisfaction: "Get up, today is a happy day, you don't need to be so polite." ”

The emperor said polite words, everyone here understood it in their hearts, so they didn't say anything, but Yueniang also understood that the old emperor said this just to look good on the scene, if it was really not necessary to be so polite, wouldn't it be said that they rebelled?

It seems that Fu Ruiyuan is right, the palace is really a place with ill intentions, it seems that it is better for her to be careful.

After everyone got up, the emperor looked at the different faces of everyone in the imperial garden and asked, "What's going on?"

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, no one has the courage to speak first, after all, the person in front of him is the emperor, the highest leader of the imperial power, and in the end, the queen couldn't bear the pressure and took the lead in standing up, after all, this is the garden party she held.

"Back to the emperor, just now...... Just now the concubine heard that there was a snake...... "The queen's face is still not good-looking, as if she has been stimulated by something."

Actually, the queen didn't expect that there would be such a thing today, if you want to talk about the matter between the eldest prince and Shen Cangqian, it can also be said to be a fight between husband and wife, after all, it is a misunderstanding, and it is not a big deal, but this time there is a snake problem, it is a big deal.

Snakes are not a good thing, they are cold-blooded animals without feelings, they are ruthless and unrighteous, and besides, I heard that they are poisonous snakes just now...... There is no such thing as a snake in the palace at all, and it is still a poisonous snake, and the creature of the snake is forbidden in the palace.

It is not allowed to appear in the palace, in case one is not careful, which master is bitten, if it is fine, at most it will be affected by the master's temper, if it is bitten, it is not as simple as losing his temper, it is very likely to be known by the emperor, and the consequences of being known by the emperor are only to pull out and cut off the head, or even the nine clans.

After all, this is not a trivial matter, the concubines are all the emperor's women, they are all masters in the palace, and if they are in trouble, they are all important things, and they cannot be underestimated.

And these masters are very delicate, and they have to invite the imperial doctor to come over to check the pulse when they have a headache on weekdays, and they also regularly invite the imperial doctor to give them a pulse of peace, just because they are worried that something will happen to them. Therefore, snakes cannot appear in the palace, let alone poisonous snakes?

"What did you say? Who put the snake? How can there be such a thing in the palace?" When the emperor heard this, he was immediately furious, and he looked very angry.

When the queen mother heard this, she didn't say anything, because she didn't know what was going on, the more she explained, the more chaotic this truth became, the queen mother had lived in the palace for so long, and she still understood, so she also knew that in this situation, the emperor was obviously angry, and at this time, whoever hit the muzzle of the gun would be unlucky.

Some people understand this truth, so some people can't understand it, they can't think of this, Yueniang, Zhao Mingqi and Fu Jingshu met Concubine Xin Niangniang before, at this time, it is not a good step forward.

"Back to the emperor, the concubine just heard someone say that there is a snake ......" Concubine Xin's eyes were very coquettish at this time, but the man in front of her did not appreciate it at all.

The emperor squinted his eyes: "You said there is a snake?" Concubine Xin walked carefully to the emperor's side, and gently leaned on the emperor's shoulder, the emperor didn't say anything, just looked at Concubine Xin coldly.

Yueniang watched the communication and interaction between the two in the dark at this time, and thought to herself, this Concubine Xin is really not long-eyed, and she is also a brainless person, don't you know what the situation is at this time? This is the Imperial Garden, and there are so many young ladies and sons present, she just leans on the emperor's body regardless of it, and it will obviously bring bad atmosphere.

"Well, please also ask the emperor to be clear, if the snake bites the ladies and sons, it will not be good, after all, this is a garden party held by the queen's sister......" Concubine Xin leaned on the emperor's shoulder softly, her voice was very coquettish, and she seemed to say it indifferently, but in fact, it was the queen's fault.

"Oh, you say it's the queen's responsibility?" the emperor's eyes narrowed, making it difficult to see his expression.

And Yueniang understands that even if the emperor is not angry just now, after listening to Concubine Xin's words at this time, he must be angry in his heart, in the final analysis, the queen is also the emperor's wife, and she is the only queen in this harem.

And Concubine Xin didn't look clear, Yueniang couldn't help but feel sad for the so-called Concubine Xin, a good woman, not marrying the person she liked, actually married into the palace, guarding this cold palace, is Concubine Xin happy?

"No, it's not...... Concubine didn't mean that......" Concubine Xin's face turned white in an instant, and she finally understood what she said just now.

The emperor looked at Concubine Xin's pale face, and then looked at the queen's mother, not knowing what was going on with this matter. However, he also knew almost the reason for the incident from the mouths of the two, it was nothing more than a snake in the imperial garden.

Seeing that Concubine Xin didn't speak, the emperor looked at the queen again: "Queen, you explain to me, what did you and Concubine Xin mean just now, what is the snake in the imperial garden? Where did the snake come from? Why didn't I see it?"

The emperor's words are undoubtedly testing the queen and Concubine Xin, if the queen answers the same answer as Concubine Xin, then the answer must be displeasing to the emperor, the appearance of Concubine Xin just now has been able to fully explain this, Concubine Xin has no brain, it does not mean that the queen has no brain.

When I returned to the emperor, the concubine didn't see any snakes, but just heard a few shouts. The queen said respectfully.

Concubine Xin heard this, and her originally charming face suddenly turned as white as paper, and now she finally understands what the emperor means by emphasizing it several times just now, it turns out that she didn't want to know the truth of the matter, but she just wanted to hear the answer in his heart.

Seeing this scene, Yueniang hooked the corners of her lips, so it turned out that this "snake" was premeditated by the emperor, but why did the emperor send someone to put snakes in the imperial garden?

There are two reasons why it is said that the emperor sent someone to release the snake, one is that when someone shouted out that there was a snake in the imperial garden, the emperor came, if this is a coincidence, it is too much of a coincidence, right? It is not a coincidence at all.

Second, it was because of the conversation between the emperor and Concubine Xin and the queen just now that Yueniang was sure of this in her heart, because of what Concubine Xin said, the emperor was obviously not very satisfied with what she said, and the queen mother, who had been in the deep palace for a long time, also realized this, and quickly denied what Concubine Xin said.

In fact, the queen mother's step is also to protect herself, she doesn't want to lose her position in the harem for so long, of course, out of Concubine Xin's brainlessness, she didn't realize that all this was a conspiracy at all, and when the queen mother stood up, she realized how inappropriate what she just said was.

At this time, Concubine Xin also realized what she had just done, and now her face turned pale with fright, and she no longer had the coquettish appearance just now, and now she is like a lamb to the slaughter, there is no difference.

Yueniang has finally realized what Fu Ruiyuan and Fu Mingxuan mean when they said that the palace is sinister, I didn't expect such a happy garden party to be so lively because of the queen's mother, who would have thought that such a thing would happen when everyone just got together?

Who would have thought that all this was premeditated, and this person was none other than the lord of this palace, that is, the emperor premeditated, at this time, everyone in the imperial garden thought of this aspect, and everyone's face had their own thoughts, only Concubine Xinniang, as if she was going to die.

The royal garden once again lost the laughter and laughter just now, because of the incident between Shen Cangqian and the eldest prince, the people who made trouble had no intention of playing, and because of this matter arranged by the emperor, the people were panicked again, in this way, who else can have a good time?

At this time, everyone really understood what kind of garden party this was, and this was clearly a Hongmen banquet! A Hongmen banquet held by the queen mother and acquiesced by the emperor, and these people were the chess pieces on the emperor's chessboard, and they were manipulated and manipulated by others, but they had no way to resist.

How can they resist? They are just chess pieces, just pedals used by the superior to achieve their certain goals, not to mention that this chess player is not yet a human being, but the emperor of the day.

"Since the queen didn't hear anything, Concubine Xin, why did you say that there was a snake? Where is the snake? Why didn't I see it, all Aiqing, did you see it?" The emperor's voice was very majestic.

The ministers have been in the court for a long time, so they naturally understand what the emperor means at this time, and hurriedly express their positions.

"The old minister didn't see any snakes......

"Weichen didn't see it either!"

"Wechen is also ......"

Everyone expressed their attitudes, including Fu Ruiyuan, Yueniang's sharp eyes saw the figures of Fu Ruiyuan and Fu Mingxuan in the crowd, and raised her eyebrows, but she didn't expect her father and brother to be here.

However, after thinking about it, this afternoon is an event where all the people gather, and it is not an accident to see Fu Ruiyuan and Fu Mingxuan, however, thinking of the afternoon program, Yueniang's heart is a little uneasy, so many people are here, if you want someone's life, wouldn't it be very simple?

Although it is said that the emperor has arranged a lot of secret guards nearby, but there is already a lesson from the past, this matter in the imperial garden, it is impossible to say that the old emperor is completely unaware, therefore, there are also smart people who smell a different kind of smell from it, it is the smell of conspiracy.

Yueniang couldn't help but wonder, did the garden party held by the queen mother really invite them to play with the sons and young ladies at this time?

It's just that I don't know if the snake thing is true or false, after all, no one knows who the person who shouted just now is, and now he doesn't know where to go, saying that no one instructed it must be fake, no one will believe it, presumably it was the emperor himself.

Now that the emperor asked, there was no one who could stand up and speak, but Yueniang also heard someone screaming just now, saying that there was a snake, but this person can't be found now, Yueniang looked around the field for a week, and didn't see any suspicious people, presumably just took advantage of the chaos to escape.

However, this situation makes people very entangled, and they can't understand why, the imperial garden, which was still noisy, was originally made bustling, just because the emperor came, because of a few words from the emperor, it subverted the scene like this, but who can say anything? The other party is the emperor, the most noble existence in this country, and no one can affect his words.

Now that the emperor has spoken, in order not to lead trouble to himself, people who know each other will naturally say that they don't see anything, so that Concubine Xin, who was already in a disadvantageous posture, is now more passive.

"Since all Aiqing said that they didn't see it, then why did Concubine Xin say that there was a snake?Concubine Xin, can you explain it to me?" The emperor's voice was very dull, so that people couldn't hear what the tone looked like.

However, anyone with a heart should be able to guess that the emperor's mood is definitely not very good now, after all, someone is making trouble under his nose, or his concubine, who can be happy about this?

Although it is very likely that this matter was arranged by the emperor himself, this is just speculation, and even if someone knows, who dares to say it in front of the emperor?

Concubine Xin's face was pale with fright at this time, and at a glance, it was very likely that she would faint in the next second, Concubine Xin bit her lip and said cautiously: "If you go back to the emperor, concubine...... The concubine only said this when she heard someone shouting about snakes......"

"Oh?" the emperor narrowed his eyes: "Then tell me, who did you hear say that there is a snake? Look at which person here is the one you are talking about? If you point it out to me, I will not punish you." ”

Hearing this, Yueniang rolled her eyes unceremoniously, she was still thinking about who would say to the emperor at this time that someone was shouting that there was a snake, but she didn't expect Concubine Xin to jump out by herself, and she was so ashamed to speak, this practice couldn't help but make Yueniang feel that Concubine Xin's brain was not made of water.

Seeing Concubine Xin's appearance, Yueniang couldn't help but sigh, she thought that the women in the palace were like the queen's mother, and every step had to be deeply considered, was it right to do this, but I didn't expect there to be a woman like Concubine Xin, which made Yueniang feel very surprised, how did a brainless woman like Concubine Xinniang survive in the big dye vat of the palace?

At this time, an old man among the ministers walked out and knelt on the ground: "If you go back to the emperor, Xin'er is just unclear for a while and talks nonsense, and I ask the emperor not to blame." ”

Yueniang glanced at this man, and didn't know her, why did she speak for Concubine Xin?

The emperor turned his head, glanced at the man kneeling on the ground, and hooked the corners of his lips: "Lord Shangshu, I am asking Concubine Xin, she just said that someone shouted that there is a snake, I just asked, don't worry so much." ”

When Lord Shangshu heard this, he immediately shut up, he also knew the emperor's words, and knew that the emperor was saying that he should leave this matter alone, if Concubine Xin died, it was only one of Lord Shangshu's daughters who died, if Lord Shangshu took care of this matter, it would not be, it would involve Shangshu Mansion, and it would not be Concubine Xin's business alone.

Lord Shangshu obviously understood this truth, and after listening to the emperor's words, he also wanted to understand the good and bad, so he didn't say anything, just shut up directly, and looked at Concubine Xin with a "good self-doing" look. It's not that he doesn't help Concubine Xin, it's that he can't do anything about it.

If he says so, if he says anything again, he just doesn't know what to do, not only Concubine Xin has something, but even his Shangshu Mansion will be implicated, and hundreds of people up and down in Shangshu Mansion may become dead souls because of his words.

Yueniang suddenly understood, it turned out that this Concubine Xin was the daughter of Lord Shangshu, no wonder Lord Shangshu would intercede for her, it turned out that she couldn't bear to let her daughter become cannon fodder, so she was framed and killed, in fact, you can't blame Concubine Xin, I'm afraid that this person behind the scenes wants to punish not Concubine Xin, but others, it's just that Concubine Xin's brainlessness has created such a scene for her.

Presumably, the people behind the scenes didn't expect Concubine Xin to jump out by herself, if you want to blame Concubine Xin, she can't see such a simple game, and she is stunned to drill up, and thinks that the emperor will reward her for this matter?

"Concubine Xin, now you can say it, right? Recruit me truthfully, if you can point out the person who shouted that there is a snake, I will not punish you, if you can't point it out, you will definitely know the consequences!" The emperor's tone was slightly angry, as if he was really angry.

When Concubine Xin heard this, her body trembled, as if she was very scared, at this time, Concubine Xin Niangniang had already understood, this was just a trap for people with a heart, where was there a snake? Why did someone shout that there was a snake when the emperor came up? Why did the crowd that was still restless just now calm down after the emperor came? And the person who shouted that there was a snake just now is no longer there.

Although Concubine Xin has figured this out, she still has to work hard to find the whereabouts of the person who shouted the snake, what if that person hasn't had time to leave until now?

With such a fluke in her heart, Concubine Xin looked around, but there were not only concubines in the palace here, but also many sons and ladies she had not seen, since she had not seen it, how could she know who disturbed the venue?

Concubine Xin looked at it for a week, but she didn't see the reason, but when she saw a corner, Concubine Xin was stunned for a moment, and then she looked away, as if she didn't see it.

Just this subtle movement, it was still seen by Yueniang, Yueniang looked into the corner where Concubine Xin Niangniang looked, and didn't see anything, presumably that person had left just now.

Concubine Xin closed her eyes in despair: "Return to the emperor, concubine...... The concubine can't point it out!"

"Oh, why can't I point it out? Is it because Concubine Ai didn't hear clearly, or is it because there is no such person at all, it's all imagined by Concubine Xin herself? Now I can't see what is going on today? Can Concubine Xin explain it to me?" The emperor squinted his eyes, looking very dangerous.

Concubine Xin's face turned white, things have become like this, no matter how stupid she is, she should understand, where is there a snake? Obviously, it was specially arranged by someone with a heart, that is, waiting for someone to take the bait, but before the person who was waiting for the bait, she recklessly bumped into it.

"Back to the emperor, it was the concubine who heard it wrong. Concubine Xin was so dead at this time, she didn't know why she was so reckless just now, and now she can only treat the dead horse as a live horse doctor.

The emperor hooked his lips: "In this way, the concubine heard it wrong? Who was making a noise just now?

At this time, Concubine Xin had already understood the emperor's purpose, that is, she wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, and when she heard the emperor say "love concubine", Concubine Xin's heart was not warm at this time, only bursts of cold.

"The concubine doesn't know!" Concubine Xin said stiffly, she didn't know how the emperor would punish her, but she wouldn't die well.

The emperor glanced at Concubine Xin, and then at the queen: "Empress, did you hear someone making noise here just now?"

The queen mother was originally watching the play, but now when she heard that the emperor had involved the matter on her again, her body trembled, lowered her head, and said respectfully: "If you go back to the emperor, there are already so many young ladies and young masters in the imperial garden, all of them are in their prime, and it is normal to be noisy, except for that, the concubines did not hear any other sound." ”

The queen mother was very knowledgeable, and knew that what Concubine Xin did just now caused the emperor's impatience, so she didn't say anything more, just followed what she said just now, and the emperor seemed to be very fond of the queen mother's set, and nodded: "In that case, there was nothing to do just now?"

Originally, Concubine Xin thought that she had escaped, but she didn't expect the emperor to shift the topic to herself: "If you go back to the emperor, it may ...... It may be that the concubine didn't rest well last night, so she hallucinated......"

"Oh, that's the case, then Concubine Xin will go back to her bedroom to rest and rest, and she will not go out and walk around in the future!" said the emperor without changing his color.

The meaning of the emperor's words is to let Concubine Xin ground, and everyone present can understand the meaning of the emperor's words, and naturally everyone's face is different.

Lord Shangshu listened to the emperor's words, obviously relieved, fortunately it was just grounded, if the emperor sent Concubine Xin into the cold palace, or directly asked for Concubine Xin's life, Concubine Xin's life would be over, what is the difference between entering the cold palace and dying? It is dark every day, and it is impossible to see the emperor, and it is impossible to be favored by the emperor again.

If Concubine Xin had an accident, their Shangshu Mansion would naturally not die well, after all, Shangshu Mansion and Concubine Xin Niangniang are the same branch, and if something happens to Concubine Xin, they will not be able to get out of Shangshu Mansion.

Now that he heard that Concubine Xin was just grounded, Lord Shangshu was naturally relieved, as long as he didn't enter the cold palace, what was he afraid of, as long as Concubine Xin did two things that made the emperor happy, she would naturally be able to make the emperor change his mind, and it was not so difficult to get the emperor to lift the grounding of Concubine Xin.

When Concubine Xin heard the emperor say this, her tense body was loosened, and she suddenly fell to the ground, her little face was full of cold sweat, and Concubine Xin didn't expect that she would be able to escape today.

However, Yueniang, as an outsider, if you look at this matter from an outsider's point of view, you can see the emperor's doting on Concubine Xin, if it is someone else, if she encounters this kind of thing, I am afraid that she will be dragged out by the emperor and beheaded, and for Concubine Xin, it is just a small grounding.

Perhaps, the old emperor will let Concubine Xin go because he did not achieve the goal he wanted? It's not right, if he didn't achieve his goal, wouldn't he be even more angry? Or is it ...... Concubine Xin still has value for the emperor, so she didn't touch Concubine Xin.
