Ci'an Palace, the Queen Mother got up early in the morning and was full of energy, so that the palace people set up a chessboard to play chess with Concubine Zhuang who invited An, and after seriously dropping a son, she picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, frowning: "Why is this year's Xinyang Maojian not as delicious as in previous years?"

Concubine Zhuang said with a smile: "Maybe it's because this spring came late, the tea trees are frozen, so there won't be much high-quality tea, you might as well try the big red robe of Fujian Shanggong, the tea is strong and the fragrance is very mellow." As he spoke, he glanced at the palace man next to him, and the palace man carefully held the tea bowl down.

"The mourning family remembered that this tea was sent back by Xie Jianning," the Queen Mother said as she picked up a son and landed on the chessboard.

"Yes," Concubine Zhuang stared at the chessboard and wondered where to land, her expression was indifferent, "Since the eldest brother went to Fujian, the tea paid for the annual tribute has also been much better." ”

Fujian was originally a big tea producer, and most of the tribute tea in the palace was paid tribute from Fujian, before Xie Jianning went, the tea in Fujian was the same every year, and this year it was better, maybe it would be worse next year, and the good and bad were mostly uneven, but since he took office, the tribute from Fujian, whether it is orange cake or tea, is getting better and better year by year.

The Queen Mother thought of the impeachment of Xie Jianning by the court, raised her head and glanced at her with a smile, "Thanks to your calm temperament, if you give it to others, knowing that your brother was impeached in Fujian, you would have been impatient to complain in front of the emperor, where would you have the leisure to accompany me, an old woman, to play chess to relieve boredom." ”

Concubine Zhuang's well-maintained face floated with a faint smile, and said softly: "The eldest brother's temperament and aunt also know that since he went to Fujian, his performance has been excellent every year, and this year he has suffered a disaster, presumably he is more anxious than anyone else, even if the concubine is worried, he can't help much, after all, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the rules of the ancestors and concubines don't have the courage to disobey, besides, the emperor is Mingjun, he has his own decision in his heart, why should the concubine have more mouths." ”

The Queen Mother nodded again and again when she heard this, Concubine Zhuang was raised by her since she was a child, and she originally wanted to support her to be the queen, but she didn't know that a Wei family appeared halfway, which was extremely hateful! The daughter who was taught by Wei couldn't get on the stage like her, and would only play some tricks.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother's eyes narrowed, and her face was angry.

The palace people walked into the inner hall lightly and said softly: "Queen Mother, Prince An has arrived." ”

Only then did the Queen Mother restrain her anger and raised her hand, "Pass her in." ”

In a moment, Chan Yi wearing a princess's edict dress walked in, and her body that had not yet fully grown was set off by the princess's purple edict suit, and her face became more and more immature, so that the Queen Mother couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Princess An is still too young, if it was someone else, such a big thing happened at home, she hurriedly handed over the sign to ask to see her, but she could still go to the clan camp to recognize her relatives in ignorance and fearlessness, and then returned to the door, was summoned by herself, and then came in slowly, her face was still tepid.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but get annoyed, if it weren't for Prince An's delay, I'm afraid things wouldn't have been in trouble now, and even the Xie family had to enter the palace under the entrustment of the Zhu family, she knew her mother's family, unless she summoned her, otherwise the Zhu family would never take the initiative to enter the palace, just by virtue of the fact that the Zhu family has been teaching and educating people in Lishan Academy in the past few years.

For more than ten years, there has been no one in the Zhu family to come out, in addition to the promises of the year, more of the Zhu family is arrogant and unwilling to be driven by the emperor.

Dayan can be regarded as the founding of the country for two hundred years, and I have never seen a queen mother who should be as cowardly as her, when she was the queen, her relatives were not powerful, and she couldn't promote her own mother's family when she was the queen mother, and now she finally has such a good seedling as Brother Xuan, but she encountered such a thing, which is really hateful!

It's just that the bitter water in her heart can't be spit out, so the Queen Mother had to swallow it again, looking at the upright and saluting Chan Yi, the Sichuan character in the center of her eyebrows wrinkled deeper.

"Do you know why the third lady of the Xie family came to the palace yesterday?"

The Queen Mother didn't let Chanyi get up, Chanyi had to maintain a half-squatting salute, hanging her head and looking respectful: "The concubine doesn't know, but the concubine has a very important matter to tell the queen mother today, and the concubine thinks that it may have something to do with the concubine's next announcement." ”

The Queen Mother took her eyes back and put it on the chessboard, and when she heard her say this, she didn't even raise her eyelids, and muttered: "You say, listen to what is going on." ”

Chanyi was about to speak, when she heard Concubine Zhuang say with a smile: "This game of chess is lost by the concubine." ”

Concubine Zhuang put the chess pieces in her hand back into the basket, and was about to stand up as she spoke, but was stopped by the Queen Mother, "It's okay, let's play the next game." ”

Concubine Zhuang looked at the chan clothes who had been squatting on the ground for a long time and looked crumbling, and her eyes were a little unbearable, but the Queen Mother was a stubborn person, and the older she was, the more she could see that no one would disobey her, so she had to sit back again.

The chess pieces landed on the chessboard and made a crisp sound, Chanyi's hand hidden under the wide sleeves lightly pressed the somewhat numb legs, and said in a deep voice: "The concubine only heard what the prince said yesterday, saying that the servants in the house were negligent for a while, and led the female dependents to the room where the male guests were resting, and as a result, they collided with Princess Fengyi, and the concubine beat those servants yesterday......"

The Queen Mother was furious and threw the chess pieces she was holding on the chessboard, and the game on the chessboard that had already been played was instantly beaten.

She glared at Chan Yi fiercely, and with these few words, she shifted the responsibility to the servant, Feng Yi is such a big living person, what is she not doing well on the day of marriage, she has to change her clothes in the backyard, and everyone else is a fool? As the master, they didn't even notice it at all, isn't this an incredible thing?

She asked sharply: "The mourning family doesn't understand, the third child followed you into the new house, and what did the Marquis of Dingguo and the second son of the Xiao family do with Brother Xuan in the backyard?"

Chanyi seemed to be startled by the Queen Mother's sharp voice, and her voice paused for a long time before she replied in a low voice: "The prince originally planned to discuss the case of the Ministry of Industry with Cousin Xuan in the pavilion......"

The Queen Mother was stunned, when did the third child fall in love with Brother Xuan and wanted Brother Xuan to interfere in government affairs? Why didn't she hear any rumors?

I listened to Chanyi again: "The prince also heard that Cousin Xuan was in charge of the accounts of Lishan Academy, and wanted Cousin Xuan to help him look at a few confused accounts of the Ministry of Industry, and he was afraid that others would know, so he let Dingguo Marquis and Xiao Ergongzi meet with Cousin Xuan in the backyard on the day of great joy, and outsiders only thought that the prince had entered the new house, and he couldn't think of anything else, but he didn't think that he let some people take advantage of the loopholes, and the prince was very annoyed afterwards......"

Before she finished speaking, she saw the palace people hurriedly come in and said, "The queen mother, the emperor is here." ”

Before the Queen Mother could react, she saw the emperor striding in, followed by Prince An Chu Shaoyuan.

When Chu Shaoyuan saw Chan Yi maintaining a half-leaning posture, a trace of murderous intent quickly flashed in his eyes.
