The Queen Mother's Yong'an Palace does not have luxurious and extravagant decoration, nor many exquisite and precious furnishings, the hall is wide and wide, the sandalwood in the hall is curling, the ebony gold-inlaid pillars, the palace lamp held by the bronze crane, the ticking Panlong ink stone water leak, and the green Yin Yin floor tiles all reveal a simple and rich atmosphere. This is a simple and majestic woman. Although she is pampered, her face is not full but looks clear, and she looks very thin and small sitting on the ebony Lianfu carved chair covered with the golden phoenix Tengxiang elastic ink chair. The demeanor is not the imaginary kind eyebrows, but a coldness, and it is difficult to see a smile in the eyes. It doesn't look like a good match.

Shuheng came with the emperor's four princes, Concubine Yuan and her mother. The queen mother is sick, the second princess is filial piety in front of the bed, and the eldest prince has not returned from visiting the princess, so no one is present in the huge Yongning Palace. Everyone greeted the Queen Mother according to the courtesy, and the Queen Mother squinted at this group of people, with no sadness or joy on her face, and she didn't know what she was thinking. The emperor smiled and said: "Queen Mother, the queen suddenly had typhoid fever, coughing and asthma, although she was not strict, she was worried that she had passed the illness of Yong'an Palace, and she would come back tomorrow to make amends for your sins." After that, she took the corner of her eye to look at Concubine Yuan, and Concubine Yuan said with a smile: "The concubine also went to Yongning Palace with the decree of the Duke of the Kingdom to ask for peace, and the queen was in disharmony and was lying on the couch according to the doctor's instructions, so that the concubine could ask for peace." ”

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and closed her eyes, and her demeanor could not be seen clearly after the curling smoke. She was silent for a moment, then coughed lightly, and said in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "That's it, the daughter-in-law is delicate, let her take care of it, this season is the most likely to be cold and cold, and the disease of wind and heat is the most likely to hurt people." ”

Even Shuheng could hear the sarcasm of dissatisfaction in the Queen Mother's tone, a shepherdessman can be delicate

The emperor didn't seem to understand at all, and laughed: "Thank you for your mother's compassion." ”

The corners of the Queen Mother's mouth did not move, but her eyes narrowed again: "Hey? This female doll, hehe, this is the girl of the Yuan family, right? ”

"Queen, take a look, I just sealed the county lord of Rongyi, do you still like it?"

"Rong Yi thanks the Queen Mother for her grace." Shu Heng hurriedly stepped forward on his knees, and smiled sweetly: "Shu Heng kowtows to the Queen Mother, and wishes the Queen Mother Songhe a long life and a long life." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and ordered someone to help her up: "What a pleasing child." It's comfortable to look at. ”

Is it because the face is round? Shuheng thought secretly. The circle is the most harmonious pattern with nature, and harmony will be comfortable.

Mrs. Yuan's heart was not so relaxed. She listened to Concubine Yuan in advance in Zhaoren Palace, and it turned out that the Queen Mother thought that there was a great drought in Qinzhong and starvation was everywhere, which was a warning from heaven to punish the royal family. The old man invited Qin Tianjian and invited the ancient Buddha and holy monks to calculate, and the conclusion was that the rain and dew in the harem were meager and the blessings were too thin. Although the reasons are sufficient, the process is correct, and the celestial signs warn the royal family to introspect - but I always feel that the conclusions drawn are quite unscientific.

In short, the Queen Mother has made up her mind to pay attention to Her Majesty's benevolence, and according to Concubine Yuan's estimate, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will personally promote some women. But I'm afraid that His Majesty will not agree. Someone in his harem gave birth to a royal bloodline, and there is no concubine yet. has been married for so long, and four of the six concubines are vacant, which seems to be really mean and unkind.

It is said that the emperor is two hundred and five, but when he got up, his brain was quite clear. The promotion of the harem concubines is naturally indispensable for the queen to preside, but he expected that the queen mother would speak this day, so he hid the queen in advance, and also pulled the family members of the Guogong Mansion as a shield, delaying for a while, and thinking that the queen mother would not discuss palace family affairs in front of outsiders. As soon as Mrs. Yuan heard this, she knew that she and her daughter were caught by His Majesty as a stumbling block, and she was worried for a while. Your Majesty is wishy-washy, so can the Queen Mother still have a good color for us?

However, things turned out a bit unexpectedly.

Concubine Yuan smiled and presented the food box: "The concubine made some snacks to honor the Queen Mother." The Queen Mother's diarrhea has just recovered, and these eight treasures cake is best for warming up and replenishing qi. ”

The Queen Mother nodded and praised, "Concubine Yuan is still careful, this snack is much better to eat than to drink bitter medicinal soup." She motioned to a big palace maid beside her to take it, took a look, and praised: "Concubine Yuan's skills are getting more and more sophisticated." The emperor came to take a look, the shadow blue glazed Fushou Plate was filled with snow-white cake, like a jade lotus flower, and he had an appetite at a glance. ”

The emperor also smiled: "I don't know if I am diligent or not, I have never been blessed with Concubine Yuan's craftsmanship." Having said that, he walked over and took a piece to eat, and was full of praise when he ate it. Shu Heng was a little sour when he heard this, and suddenly felt that the emperor was so pitiful, he couldn't even eat a piece of cake from his wife, and wondered if he should take out the snacks in his purse and share them with him.

A slight smile appeared at the corner of the Queen Mother's mouth: "Since the emperor loves it so much, how do you plan to reward Concubine Yuan?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the huge room suddenly fell silent, and the concubines who were originally funny and laughed with them all quieted down, and their eyes wandered on the emperor and Concubine Yuan. No one expected that the Queen Mother's determination was so great and so unscrupulous, and she would insert the theme so directly and simply. This obvious disobedience to His Majesty's mind was actually started by Concubine Yuan, and for a while, everyone speculated and had their own thoughts. And the emperor's face has changed.

Shuheng is not an ignorant naughty boy after all, she only felt a chill on her back when she understood this qiē. The Queen Mother is quite fond of Concubine Yuan on weekdays, but one second she was still praising her, praising her, but the next second she directly sent her to the cusp. The emperor is also very pleased with Concubine Yuan on weekdays, but turning his face is also turning over, not to mention how innocent Shuheng's mother and daughter are, but inexplicably dripping muddy waters. Sure enough, there are many things in the palace, and there is no good thing on the head.

The fourth prince didn't know that he had been put into the ranks of bad things by Shuheng, he just sensed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the room, and seeing that Shuheng's face was strange, he whispered: "Don't be afraid. The small actions of the two did not escape the emperor's eyes, and he took the opportunity to change the topic without mentioning the reward: "Concubine Yuan is not only gentle and virtuous, but also has always taught her son well. I often think that my prince and daughter are very good, but today I found that Concubine Yuan's niece is really mellow, cute, well-behaved and sensible. Mu Yun is blessed. ”

Shuheng subconsciously touched his face, roundness can be there, cuteness can also be there, but why do you want to compare with your child? Isn't this pulling hatred for me? Or all the princes and princesses pull together.

Sure enough, the eyes of the people in the room fell on Shuheng's face again. There are concubines who are good friends with Concubine Yuan who are about to have fun, but the third princess opened her mouth first: "The girl of the Yuan family is really likeable, white and fat, smart and clever, and a little naughty." As soon as this remark came out, it was quite abrupt, and her mother Wang Jieyu immediately asked, "Yo?" Is this supple little look still a mischievous ghost? ”

Look, pull hatred, right? Shu Heng silently rolled his eyes in his heart, ready to take the trick and see which of the three princesses sang.

The third princess gently stroked the pigeon in her hand and smiled: "I just walked over from the edge of the imperial garden, and saw that the fourth emperor brother and Miss Yuan tied a bamboo basket to catch birds. As she spoke, she carefully took the veil to stain the pigeon's wound, and the pigeon nested in her arms and chirped, as if enjoying her delicate and gentle soothing.

"These birds tend to be the most sensitive, and they land wherever they are festive. Xiao San felt that it was our Miyagi Tranquility that had this scene of people and birds enjoying together, and the Queen Mother was devout to worship the Buddha, and she couldn't see the living beings suffering, so she said a few more words about them. Miss Yuan, you won't blame me, will you? ”

Isn't it just catching a bird, how did it become destroying the peace of Miyagi and mutilating living beings? This hat can be pressed big enough. At most, I take a selfie and get paid for pastries, so it's fair trade. After hearing what she said, Shu Heng sighed softly in his heart: Can't you be a good child? She pouted, her eyes flashed, and two lines of tears slipped out, she stood up and looked at the emperor and the queen mother pitifully: "Heng'er didn't mean to catch birds, Heng'er just wanted to be angry." She stretched out her little hand with teary eyes, and a red mark appeared on the back of her fat snow-like hand: "I was walking with His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, and the pigeon suddenly flew down from the sky and pecked me." ”

At this time, not only the four princes, but Concubine Yuan and Mrs. Yuan were also shocked. Mrs. Yuan was in a hurry, but she was not good at moving, Concubine Yuan didn't care so much, she immediately got up from her seat, gently picked up Shuheng's hand, blew and blew, picked up the silk handkerchief and massaged it gently, and asked the fourth prince: "Yu'er, what's going on?" Didn't I ask you to take care of your little cousin? ”

In fact, this bird hunting is a trivial matter, it is common for children to be naughty and naughty, let others add oil and vinegar, the queen mother is old and fine, and her majesty is very assertive, so she will naturally have judgment. But this is a palace after all, and there is no way to regret mistakes. As soon as the emperor praised Concubine Yuan for teaching her son, the third princess said that the two of them had "bad deeds", which was obvious. After all, this matter started by Shuheng, and she really didn't want to implicate her aunt and the fourth prince. So I thought of a countermeasure at the beginning, and this hand was just pressed against the corner of the table. After all, the child's skin is delicate, and when he presses the corner of the sandalwood table, it is a red ball.

The fourth prince looked at Shuheng and was also a little surprised, although he did not collude in advance, but he obviously supported Shuheng to the end, so he first confessed his mistake to his mother, and then gave false testimony, and his speech was clear and reasonable, "We just walked on the road well, and the bird suddenly pounced." And it pecked Heng Mei, and we didn't plan to kill it, but we just wanted to 'whip dozens and drive it away'. "The stalk of "Six Memories of Floating Life" was shamelessly stolen. The pure beauty is spoiled by herself like this, and Shuheng blinks, trying to induce a trace of guilt.

The third princess was surprised, and intuitively accused her that Shuheng was lying, but she couldn't find a flaw for a while, so she only sneered: "Isn't this bird crazy?" Good people come to peck people. ”

Shu Heng wiped away his tears, and laughed obediently: "I was also puzzled at first, but now I think that it must be for this." She reached out and took out a piece of Wuhe jade belt cake from her purse: "The delicious food that my aunt gave me must be too fragrant, so I lured the birds down." ”

Her demeanor was coquettish and her tone was innocent, and everyone present couldn't help laughing. Concubine Yuan smiled and touched her head: "The birds in the palace have always been fed with delicious food and drink, and they are not afraid of people, so don't they pounce when they smell the fragrance?" In the future, remember to go out when you are full. ”

Now that he heard that her words were quite funny, Shu Heng said aggrievedly: "I just think this is delicious, and I want to take it back to my father to taste." Everyone laughed more and more, and even the emperor made an envious expression: "Mu Yun really has a good daughter, and he thinks about him for all good things." ”

The third princess took the opportunity to be coquettish: "My father said this, I don't follow it, aren't we filial." ”

The fourth prince sighed coldly: "Sister doesn't know, as the saying goes, the food is the fragrance of your own family, and the child is the good of someone else's family." The mother concubine is not the same, since she has a niece, sons are not rare. ”

Concubine Yuan immediately opened her arms and took him into her arms: "Come on, come on, Huang'er, the mother concubine loves you." ”

The parents are loving, the children are happy, and the atmosphere in the room is suddenly rejuvenated. Even the Queen Mother had a faint smile on her face.
