Mrs. He and Qiu Shiyi were stunned when they heard this, and when they understood the meaning of Empress Xiao's words, Qiu Shiyi suddenly burst into tears, and said while crying: "Mother...... My daughter has no face to live anymore!"

Mrs. He finally reacted, knelt on the ground and looked at Empress Xiao and said, "Those two are just the concubines of the Lu family, even if they borrow ten guts, they don't dare to take a look!"

Hearing this, Empress Xiao smiled faintly: "According to what you said, then only the emperor can see it?"

Mrs. He didn't answer, but the look on her face clearly said that this was exactly the case. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"So......" Empress Xiao asked with a smile, "According to Madame He's opinion, what should be done about this matter?"

Mrs. He never thought that Empress Xiao would throw the words back to her, how should this matter be good? In this era when women's fame is too big, what can the prince do when he sees Qiu Shiyi's body?

Mrs. He turned her heart sideways: "The concubine just wants to seek justice, Your Majesty once said that Shiyi would be married to His Royal Highness the Prince, but I don't know that Your Majesty's words are still counted now." ”

"Presumptuous!" When Empress Xiao heard this, she angrily slapped the square stool with the tea cup next to her: "Your Majesty is the Ninety-Five, how can you be questioned by a courtier!"

With the angry clapping of Empress Xiao, the teacup jumped a few times on the square bench, making a crisp crashing sound.

And Mrs. He's heart also jumped violently with the sound of impact, she glanced at Qiu Shiyi, who was kneeling on the ground with a pale complexion, and said ruthlessly: "Your Majesty has no jokes, but now that such a thing has happened, the concubine begs the mother, if the marriage is decided earlier, it will be good to have the reputation of the little girl, so as not to be criticized again." ”

Hearing this, Empress Xiao snorted lightly, turned her eyes to look at Qiu Shiyi and said, "What do you mean?"

Qiu Shiyi lowered her head and sobbed in a low voice: "But it's up to the queen to decide." ”

Empress Xiao silently looked at her sobbing in a low voice, and only opened her mouth after half a sound: "Since you want this palace to be the master, this palace will be the master." And you put your heart in your belly, and after the crown of the emperor is weak, the palace will ask Your Majesty to give a decree to give you a marriage and marry you to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a side concubine. ”

Side concubine?

Qiu Shiyi raised her head violently when she heard this, why is she a side concubine? Just by virtue of her status and status, by virtue of the power of her Qiu family, and by virtue of her current reputation, she is now ruined in the hands of Duan Yi, no matter which one she is, she should be the concubine!

Empress Xiao looked at her with a look of surprise, and said lightly, "What's the matter?"

Qiu Shiyi gritted her teeth and slowly lowered her head without speaking, and Mrs. He on the side hurriedly said: "Niangniang is wrong?

"The position of this side concubine is still for the sake of His Majesty's promise. Empress Xiao snorted lightly: "As the palace said before, the two sons of the Lu family followed the prince's side yesterday, so it's not that you said you didn't have the courage to look at it, so you didn't have the courage to look at it." ”

Mrs. He knelt on the hall in a daze when she heard this, and she couldn't find the words to refute for a while.

If she said that Lu Heng and Lu Zhe didn't see it, then the prince wouldn't see it, and if she said that they did, then Qiu Shiyi's reputation ......

Looking at the two kneeling under His Royal Highness, looking at the looks on their faces, Empress Xiao got up and said, "Okay, this matter is settled like this, the palace is lacking, you can retreat." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Mrs. He and Qiu Shiyi to speak, she turned around and walked towards the inner hall.

Yue'er helped the queen into the inner hall, leaving the high-ranking female official to send Mrs. He and Qiu Shiyi.

Mrs. He knew that everything was a foregone conclusion, wiped her tears and sighed and got up, turned her head to look, but saw that Qiu Shiyi was still kneeling on the hall and did not move, she wiped her tears and said distressedly: "Shiyi, get up quickly, the queen mother has left." ”

Qiu Shiyi was stunned for a while when she heard this, and then she got up with the support of Mrs. He, her hands were clenched into a fist at her side, why? Why did she take the lead in this life, but she still only got the position of a side concubine? !

She's not reconciled!

If she can't get a position, then Lu Zhi can't even think of it!

The senior female official personally sent Mrs. He and Qiu Shiyi to the gate of the palace, watched them get into the carriage and leave, and then returned to the inner hall, Queen Xiao was sitting on a soft stool and drinking tea, and when she came back, she asked, "Are they gone?"

The high-ranking female official nodded: "The slave maid was personally sent outside the palace, and I came back after watching them leave." ”

"You personally sent them outside the palace, and gave them a long face. Empress Xiao snorted coldly: "But it's okay, lest they go to Qiu Guifei to cry." ”

The senior female official sighed when she heard this: "The slaves and maids also thought about this, so they deliberately sent them to the palace gate, but they couldn't stop them for a while, after all, Qiu Guifei is the sister of Lord Qiu, and Mrs. He can't stop her if she wants to visit." ”

Empress Xiao pondered for a moment: "So the marriage of the emperor cannot be delayed any longer." In your opinion, who is worthy of the position of the emperor's concubine?"

The senior female official lowered her head slightly: "It's really hard to say about this matter, if you talk about temperament and courage, it is even worse to think that Miss Lu is here, but her background is lower after all, except for herself and her two elder brothers, who have a little help to Your Highness, there is nothing else." But Gongsun Yu is different. ”

"What you said, it's not what this palace thinks. Empress Xiao sighed: "It's just that this matter should be in line with the emperor's wishes, after all, she is the concubine, the future queen, and the people who want to govern the world with the emperor. ”

The senior female official bowed her head and was silent when she heard this, and Yue'er listened silently on the side.

Empress Xiao turned her eyes to look at the senior female official and said, "There is a way to have both in this palace. ”

Hearing this, the senior female official raised her head, and Empress Xiao smiled faintly: "Gongsun Yu and Lu Zhi must have a real phoenix, but whoever is true or fake has to give it a try, the prince's weak crown ceremony is an excellent opportunity, we don't need to be so entangled, let that true phoenix be the concubine." ”

After speaking, she smiled again and advised: "The position of one concubine and one side concubine is already doomed, let the palace people be smarter, don't be lazy, especially Lu Zhi, let them not look down on her because of her background." ”

The senior female official nodded in response, and the matter was stopped, and the two talked about the trivial matters in the palace.

When it was time for dinner, Yue'er should change her job and rest, but she did not return to the room, but came to a rockery somewhere in the imperial garden, looked around, and after making sure that there was no one, she took out a folded paper from her sleeve.

With her back to the rockery, she handed the paper behind her and whispered, "Give this letter to the prince." ”

After the rockery, she stretched out a hand, took her letter and answered in a low voice, and a gust of wind passed and returned to calm.

Yue'er withdrew her hand and looked around again, then turned around and walked towards her room.

Let's say that Qiu Shiyi returned to Qiu's mansion, retreated left and right, and left Lin'er alone, her face was extremely gloomy, and she said coldly without waiting for Lin'er to ask: "Lin'er, what master do you know?
