In the middle of the afternoon sun, the tall camphor trees in the courtyard glow in the sun, and the breeze blows a warm breath.

The woman kneeling outside the temple gate was dressed in a rose-red palace dress, her delicate and beautiful face was red under the sun, and fine sweat stains oozed from her face.

Concubine Yu, who was sitting in the inner hall and sipping tea slowly, laughed when she saw her appearance: "This concubine is indeed a little scheming, didn't she hear that the emperor was going to come to Niangniang for dinner today, so she put on this appearance, right?" ”

Empress Yan put the porcelain cup on the table and hooked her lips coldly: "What other reason can there be?" As soon as I thought about it, I was very tired, and I couldn't help frowning, "That's it, call her in." ”

Mama Wang made a look, and the palace maid who was waiting next to her went out.

"The Queen Mother, please—"

Hearing this, Concubine Ya glanced at the palace maid who was bowed down, but for no reason she felt that she looked at her with disdain, and her heart moved, but her face nodded gently, and the maid beside her helped her up: "It's hard work." ”

Seeing that the palace maid just glanced at her and lowered her head, she trembled her legs and was helped in by the maidservant.

There are ice cubes in the hall, and it is very cool. At least the concubine was stimulated as soon as she entered the door, raised her eyes and looked up at the cold eyes of Queen Shangyan, and knelt down with a puff: "The concubine asks the queen to say goodbye, and the mother is blessed with gold." "It's a look of respect and humility.

Empress Yan looked at her carelessly, and saw that her body was getting stiffer and stiffer before she slowly spoke: "Are you guilty?" He convicted her in one sentence, and he didn't mean to listen to her explanation at all.

The concubine was worried, and had to kowtow again and cry: "The concubine doesn't know what crime she committed to make the mother so angry, and please make the mother understand, the concubine is so dead!" "She has to stall! From the moment she knelt down in Jingyang Palace, she sent someone to find the Queen Mother, as long as she could hold out until the Queen Mother sent someone to save her, it would be fine.

Concubine Yu snorted, looking at the concubine's eyes full of contempt: "You are very bold, since the mother asked you if you knew the sin, you answered the truth!" There is still a face to beg for mercy here! ”

Concubine Ya was even more nervous when she heard this, she didn't expect that Concubine Yu would dare to bury herself like this in front of the queen mother in Jingyang Palace, and treat herself as the master! But what made her even more panicked was that the queen mother didn't make a sound, this is indulgence!

"Mother's forgiveness! The concubine really doesn't know what crime she has committed! I hope that the mother will make it clear! She can only beg for mercy now, but she is also worried that the queen mother has really caught some of her handles?

Empress Yan snorted coldly when she saw her like this, and flipped the hot tea on the table to the ground, and the hot water splashed on the concubine's body, and when she saw her screaming, she just looked at her indifferently: "Peep into the emperor's traces, and dare to poison and assassinate other concubines!" Disrespectful to high-ranking concubines, these are all things you do! ”

Ya Concubine couldn't care about the burned arm now, and hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Niangniang is angry!" Concubines...... The concubine really hasn't done these things, and I hope that the mother will know it! "But in my heart, the queen mother actually knows everything?

Empress Yan looked at her with a blank gaze, hooked her lips and smiled: "You mean that this palace deliberately embarrassed you?" Without waiting for her to explain, she flicked her sleeves directly, and the phoenix tail painted with gold wire on the orange wide sleeves made people's hearts palpitate, "Heh, what if this palace is deliberately embarrassing you?" You're just a concubine, this palace is to let you die in Jingyang Palace today, who can stand up and say that this palace is wrong? ”

Concubine Ya was terrified, and when she saw Queen Yan say this, she knew that she couldn't hide today, and cried out again and again: "Niangniang spare your life!" The concubine knows her mistake! The concubine knows her mistake! Niangniang, you spared the concubine this time, and what you let the concubine do in the future will listen to you! She now regrets her act of flattering the Queen Mother in Cining Palace a few days ago! No matter how powerful the queen mother is, the queen mother is the emperor's wife!

What's wrong with a wife rectifying a concubine?

Empress Yan slowly touched the armor on her hand and raised her eyebrows: "Oh? Aren't you still arrogant and domineering when I saw you a few days ago? Think you will have peace of mind if you defect to the Queen Mother? Saying that, no matter how she explained, she just waved her hand, "The concubine peeped into the emperor's tracks, poisoned the concubine, the crime is unforgivable, and now she is demoted to a ten-rank official woman, and she is dragged out to enjoy a red at the gate of Jingyang Palace!" ”

Ya Concubine's face was pale, she couldn't even cry, and she blindly screamed at the top of her throat: "Niang Niang spare her life!" The slave knows that she is wrong! Seeing that Queen Yan didn't want to let her go, she pulled her throat to push and suppress her powerful mama, "Presumptuous!" You let go of this concubine! This concubine is a concubine! The emperor's favorite concubine! Don't you all want to die! The Queen Mother will be here in a while! Let go! ”

Concubine Yu watched Concubine Ya crying and being dragged out, and sighed faintly for a long time: "She is bold and dares to say anything." ”

Empress Yan just sneered and instructed the maidservants beside her: "Go and follow, and listen to what she can say." ”

When Concubine Yu heard this, she was very puzzled: "Why did Niangniang have a falling out with the Queen Mother? "Filial piety comes first, and falling out with the Queen Mother is not good for the queen's reputation no matter what.

Queen Yan just hooked her lips and smiled: "Concubine Ya defected to the Queen Mother, this is something that can't be said on the table, and the Queen Mother must have a reason to be the master again." And the palace severely punished the concubines to set an example for the harem. "Those who want to defect to the Queen Mother have to reverse their own abilities, and they can't just bear the price they need to pay.

While talking, I heard a palace maid outside: "The queen mother, the pure concubine is here!" ”

Empress Yan raised her eyebrows and stood up: "Come in!" As he spoke, he went out to greet him, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the hall, he saw Xia Meng who was helped in by Yuzhu, so he smiled and pulled her up with a curtsy, "You are inconvenient, you don't have to salute." But how did you come here when the day is so big? ”

Concubine Yu was also surprised to see Queen Yan's attitude, but her face was very kind: "Exactly, Sister Guifei is inconvenient and still runs back and forth." ”

Xia Meng smiled and shook Queen Yan's hand back, and said softly: "It's not that you can't move around, it's good to go out for a walk more." Moreover, the concubine was also invited by the Queen Mother to go to Cining Palace, so she wanted to invite her mother by the way. ”

Seeing this, Empress Yan smiled and patted the back of her hand: "It's okay, this palace is about to go with Sister Yufei." ”

Several people were talking and laughing as if they were sisters, and there was no direct confrontation between the wife and the concubine.

As he was talking, he saw a palace maid running over quickly: "Queen Mother! Mama Su from Cining Palace is here! I also brought the Imperial Doctor! Say to see if the mother is unwell! ”
