The palace, the palace of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother has always been quiet, so the trees in the courtyard are swaying, but it is very quiet, and you can't hear a cicada.

It is far away from the mountains and forests, and there are many houses and pavilions in the deep house compound, the breath of summer is not too strong, not like in the mountains and forests, there is the sound of cicadas singing in the early morning, and even, there is no faint sound of silk and bamboo.

Princess Jane sat on the chair, feeling that her chest was very depressed, but she didn't dare to come out. She didn't expect that her daughter would break into such a catastrophe, and she dared to go against the will of the Queen Mother and run to the farm to avoid this harmony.

Jian Ye and several other children of the Jian family knelt on the ground together, since the morning, they were brought here by the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother didn't say much, only quietly closed her eyes and rested, the best sandalwood slowly burned a good smell, floating around them.

Prince Jian's back was about to stiffen, knowing that today's incident had something to do with his daughter Jian Ning, but he couldn't guess what the Queen Mother meant.

There was a sound of footsteps outside, although it was hurried, but the steps were steady, and several guards walked in, four people, two in the front, two in the back, and in the middle, it was Jian Ning with a sad face.

Running all the way, from yesterday noon to this afternoon, a few of them didn't even have accommodation, and they rushed back as quickly as possible, back to the capital, and the guards directly brought Jian Ning to the Queen Mother.

"Kneel!" Princess Jane said with hatred when she saw her daughter, her voice trembling a little.

Jian Ning knelt down with a blank expression, her face was haggard, the clothes on her body were slightly not so clean and tidy, and her eyes were a little vaguely stunned, she didn't expect that her father and mother would be here with the Queen Mother, and her brothers and sisters would kneel on the ground together.

The Queen Mother didn't open her eyes, and she didn't even have the slightest change in her feelings because Jian Ning knelt down, she just waved her hand quietly, and a middle-aged woman who had been waiting beside her nodded slightly, walked quietly in front of Jian Ning, and said respectfully: "Miss Jane, I'm offended." ”

As she spoke, she raised her hand and crackled more than a dozen slaps on Jian Ning's face, Jian Ning began to be stunned for a moment, but she didn't do any dodging, she knew that if she dodged, she would be beaten more often, and the woman in front of her would hit harder, and the other party hit fast and hard, and soon, Jian Ning's face was swollen, and blood flowed out of the corners of her mouth.

Princess Jian bit her lip tightly, she didn't dare to stop her, and Prince Jian also lowered her head, although he has always loved his children, he rarely punishes them, especially the daughters in the family, and he is very pity, a hundred times more favored, especially this Jian Ning is his favorite one, and he will take it with him when he goes out.

However, he and his wife both knew that it was the most trusted personal slave in front of the Queen Mother who was beating Jian Ning, and she was also Aunt Fen in the harem who even the emperor and the emperor's concubines had to give up three points.

This title also has some origins, Aunt Fen's original name is Fenfang, is the closest and most trusted slave around the Queen Mother, has never been married, loyally guarded by the Queen Mother's side, from the Queen Mother entered the palace as a small concubine of the emperor, has never left half a step, until now.

When the son of the Empress Dowager had just succeeded to the throne, there was a concubine who was most loved by the new emperor who disliked the slave maid who served the Empress Dowager, because the two also had the word 'Fang' in their names, and the concubine asked the emperor to change the name of Fragrance, especially the word 'Fang'. This matter was known to the Queen Mother, so that she did not refute her son's face, and agreed to omit the word fang in the fragrance.

"Fenfang, this girl has been following the mourning family, and her name mourning is also used to it, but you can't call it the same as the mourning family, which is also unfair to Fenfang. Fang Guiren's thoughts reminded the mourning family, although Fragrant is only a slave and maid serving the mourning family, but it is very trusted by the mourning family, it is better to do this, Fragrant is still the name of the mourning family to this slave and maid, you can call her Aunt Fen! Including the emperor, you also know how Fragrant treats you, this title is not disrespectful. ”

At that time, this passage not only made Fenfang's position in the palace more stable, but everyone in the palace knew that this Aunt Fen was the treasure of the Queen Mother, and no one could bully her, so she had to keep it in her eyes and hearts.

Even the emperor changed the name of Fen Fang to Aunt Fen, which the emperor did not have any objection to, he knew that back then, it was this Aunt Fen who exchanged his life for her own innocent body, and one of the concubines of the father and emperor wanted to kill him because she also gave birth to a son, and she was very favored and liked by her father, so she wanted to kill him, thinking that her own son Shun Lì would become the crown prince and inherit the throne in the future.

At that time, only Aunt Fen and two young slaves and maids were there to take care of him, who was still young.

In order to delay time, Aunt Fen even pretended to say that she had been a woman all her life but had never really become a woman, and asked the killer to fulfill her and make her a real woman before she died, Aunt Fen was also a rare beauty when she was young, and even his father had a thought, as for whether anything happened, with Fragrance's loyalty to his mother, the emperor knew that nothing had happened.

The killer saw that it was just three weak women, and there was no rescuer, and he had a lustful heart for a while, and the fragrance used up a qiē to please him, and when the killer was distracted, he killed the killer with the killer's sword, saved him, and handed him over to his queen mother and asked his queen mother to give her a death, because she was no longer innocent and unworthy of serving his queen mother.

At that time, the Empress Dowager immediately sent someone to execute the other two young slaves and maids, threw them into a deep well, concealed the matter, still kept the fragrance by her side, and took care of her son's daily life, no one knew what happened that night, and even the emperor's memory was a little vague.

This incident did not even alarm the emperor, everyone only knew that Fragrance had a serious illness, very sick, and later after the illness was cured, he served the queen mother full-time and took care of the young prince at that time.

Of course, later the concubine fell ill and died inexplicably, and her child was also handed over to another childless concubine to take care of, and then there was no follow-up, and the child heard that he had died, which also became a family scandal in the palace that was never talked about to the public.

Not many people know about this matter, only the closest people around the Queen Mother know a little about it.

Therefore, Prince Jian and Princess Jian did not dare to express any dissatisfaction, this Aunt Fen has a lot of power in the harem, even if Aunt Fen wants to kill Jian Ning, it must be the consent of the Queen Mother, and Aunt Fen represents the meaning of the Queen Mother.

Finally, Jian Ning couldn't hold it anymore, she fell to the ground, her face was so red and swollen, and even had a swollen luster, and the blood kept flowing down the corners of her lips, but she didn't dare to reach out to wipe it, and she didn't dare to exhale pain, when she came to the palace to meet the Queen Mother, this Aunt Fen treated her very gently, and would personally take the fruit and peel it for her to eat, Jian Ning had never seen her so ruthless.

Fragrance didn't help Jian Ning, who fell to the ground, didn't even look at it, and quietly walked back to the Queen Mother's side, standing with her head down, her breathing was shallow and inaudible.

Jian Ning felt that her head hurt to death when she moved slightly, she had never suffered like this, her eyes were bright and dark, all the images were blurry and shaky, and even the ground was shaking slightly.

"Thank you for the Queen Mother's grace not to kill. Princess Jane said in a trembling voice.

The Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes, glanced at Princess Jane, and said lightly: "This is also a good point, King Jian's Mansion is in the mourning family, and the decline is also in the mourning family, you raised such a daughter who has no weight, you should have killed you and deposed King Jian's mansion." ”

Princess Jane didn't dare to come out, hung her head, couldn't say a word, and didn't even dare to breathe soundly between her lips and tongue, her chest rose and fell a little rapidly.

Jian Ning was a little dazed, looking up at the Queen Mother and everyone in a daze, trying to concentrate.

"What about people?" the Queen Mother asked in a flat tone, "What about the people you want to bring to the mourning family behind your back?

Jian Ning's breathing was slightly short, and she whispered, "It's that Jian Ning is ignorant." ”

"Be louder, the mourners can't hear it. The Queen Mother said lightly.

"It's Jian Ning who is ignorant!" Jian Ning gritted her teeth and spit out word by word, since things are already like this and cannot be changed, then why should she admit it!

Princess Jian was stunned, looked at Jian Ning, and blurted out: "Who are you going to bring back?

"Yes. Jian Ning straightened her back again, her eyes were a little more energetic than just now, and although her face was red and swollen, she didn't have the decadence just now," The daughter didn't want to marry the old emperor that the daughter didn't know and had never met, and she didn't want to waste her life of youth on such an old man whose body was buried in the ground, so the daughter thought of Rong Qingyi, although she was personally selected by her mother and prepared for Jian Ye in the future, but Jian Ye didn't like her, there are many daughters of rich and powerful families in the capital, and if she is missing, the younger brother can choose a better one, for example, the Zhao family's Miss Zhao Jiangxuan, who is now liked by the Queen Mother. Anyway, what my mother wants to prepare for Jian Ye is just the daughter of a rich family!"

Princess Jane almost choked on the saliva she swallowed back, stroked her chest, and said slowly: "You really have a long ability, the Queen Mother must have a reason why the Queen Mother chose you to go and kiss." The Queen Mother has always loved you the most, so she won't hurt you, why do you only look at the surface and not look at the truth behind it?"

Jian Ning bit her lip, hesitated, and said: "The Queen Mother is the Queen Mother after all, what she has to consider is the interests of the emperor and the country, and it is not a big deal to lose a junior she loves for the interests of the emperor and the country." It's just that Jian Ning can't afford such love. ”
