Chapter 220: In the Queen's Palace
"Don't be angry, I'm angry and hurt myself, in my opinion, the new fox girl is only afraid that the favor will not last long, Niangniang thought, she suddenly appeared like this, there are already many Niangniang who are wary and dissatisfied with her, why bother the imperial concubine Niangniang to do this, I'm afraid, if it goes on like this, she will only stay in the palace for two or three months, and then she will disappear naturally!"
"Well, you have a pointβ!"
After thinking deeply, the imperial concubine frowned and nodded.
"Then how is Concubine Hui lately-!"
Na Lan'er knelt on the ground and replied carefully, "The mouth of the Yongshou Palace is very tight, and the people we sent over can't find out anything!" β
"If we can all find clues, this Concubine Hui has been favored in the palace for so many years and has been favored in vain, you only need to send people to pay close attention-!"
Na Lan'er leaned over, "Yes-!" β
*
At this moment, in the main hall of Kunning Palace, the queen who was dignified and attentive, dressed in a bright phoenix robe, was sitting upright in the inner hall, and with her, as well as the nurse who was brought into the palace by the queen after the queen, Cui Mama, stood beside the queen, looking at the person on the throne with a concerned face.
The queen, sometimes looking at her like this, is really quiet, too quiet.
Whether you look at it up close or from a distance, this queen mother is so young, no matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like she has already given birth to two adult princes, and she is the mother of the emperor's two largest adult princes.
And the crown prince has long passed the year of the weak crown.
The queen is simply too quiet and terrible at times, and it is extremely incommensurate with her own appearance.
"What happened to the people Ye He sent to inquire about it-!"
The queen took a sip of tea, put down the teacup in her hand with a faint expression, and then asked the person standing on the ground, led by a palace maid in charge.
That Ye He heard the question from above.
He threw up his hands, saluted, and then knelt down on the ground.
Word by word, he said respectfully, "Back to the queen's mother, Ye He sent someone to carefully investigate the new woman in front of the emperor and the emperor, except for a few times to see this woman walking around in front of the palace, I didn't see her doing anything special, but, listening to the palace maid who was waiting beside the emperor, the emperor seemed to be very indulgent to this new woman who was on an errand by his side, and was especially willing to let her enter and leave the emperor's palace at any time, Niangniang, you say, what is the origin of this woman-!" β
The queen sat on a high place and put the tea bowl aside for a long time
"What is the origin of do you still want me to investigate, no matter what his origin, it is definitely not a good thing to run out of such a person now, you let the eunuch father-in-law in charge of the palace pay close attention to it, pay attention to her actions, and more importantly, see which side of the person she sent, no matter which side of the person, it must not be the slut of Concubine Hui of Yongshou Palace, but also pay attention to whether it is sent by the Jiaxing Marquis Mansion." When there's no need to keep it, just find a way to get rid of it! β
"Butβ!" That Ye He heard this master's words, but there was a little embarrassment in his tone, "Returning to the queen's mother, now that woman is a hot person around the emperor, if we get rid of her at this time, maybe the emperor Longyan will be angry and will personally track it down, and when the time comes, it will be in vain to bring us to Kunning Palace, Ye He thinks, it is better to let it go now, first find out the details of the woman and figure out the purpose of her entering the palace-!" β
The look on the queen's face changed
"I'll leave this to you, and I'm not worried about others!"
The maid knelt down, with a low eyebrow and a pleasing appearance, "Please rest assured that the queen will not disgrace the mother's mission-!" β
The words here had just fallen, and then a father-in-law suddenly came in from the door, wearing a steward eunuch suit, and trotted in all the way.
"Queen Qi, today is the day when King Lian enters the palace to greet the queen, His Royal Highness King Lian came early in the morning, went to the Palace of Nourishing Heart, and is now waiting for the Queen's decree outside the palace-!"
When the queen heard that her son had come to ask for peace, she almost couldn't contain her excitement, and pressed her sleeves on the armrest of the chair.
"Quick, please come in to this palace!"
As soon as the words fell, the queen herself could not sit still, so she stood up.
Suddenly, from the outside, strode a man, wearing an ice blue cardigan with wide sleeves, the placket and cuffs are embroidered with royal blue silk threads Tengyun auspicious pattern, covered with a sky blue straight placket, the drape of the clothes is very good, the waist is tied with a wide belt of moon white auspicious cloud pattern, and a piece of jade with excellent quality is hung on it, which seems to be simple but very textured. Indigo trousers tucked into brocade boots, and along the way, the cloth was light but not frivolous...... The black hair is tied up high with a purple gold crown, the excess hair hangs down on the shoulders, looking from a distance, it is like the immortals on the white paper of the ancients, the demeanor is light and elegant, the painting is on, the sideburns are like a knife, the eyebrows are like ink paintings, and the eyes are like stars, giving people a sense of heroic atmosphere, although the demeanor is not ostentatious, the aura is just giving people a sense of shock.
This is the king of Lian who is rumored by the people of the capital, and some people say that it is the most beautiful man in the capital.
No matter how indifferent and indifferent the queen is to others, she is still enthusiastic about her son, and this enthusiasm is overflowing, and it can be shown lightly.
"Lian'er-!" Seeing her heroic son approaching step by step from outside the palace, the queen, who had been waiting there to watch step by step, was already indescribably excited.
I have to go up and hug it in the morning.
But when he saw the man come forward, he first bent his knees and bent his black shoes and boots on the ground, "My son, please say hello to the queen mother!" β
"Good. It's good you're here! β
Compared with the crown prince in the palace, this second son can only enter the palace once in a few days, and the queen is simply too excited to see her.
The queen hurriedly held the two sons by the arms and helped them up.
Actually, although in the queen's heart, the second son is always too cold to people, decent, and doesn't like to say warm words, which is originally unpleasant, but, I don't know how, this queen just likes it very much.
Queen Mingli likes the eldest son, that is, the crown prince, and relies more on these two sons in her heart.
Looking at the son in front of him, holding his face, all of them are handsome, but, on the contrary, why don't they please the emperor!
Why is it that the emperor does not favor.
As soon as she thought of this, the enthusiasm for her sons in the queen's heart also faded, and even turned into a slow sourness.
"Queen Mother, even His Royal Highness has only entered the palace once in a long time, Niangniang, don't just cry, but also get some delicious food to entertain Your Highness!"
The nurse next to her, Mama Cui, reminded with a smile next to her.
"Yes!" The queen wiped her tears with her sleeve, this Kunning Palace was also finally someone to come, and she forgot everything when she saw that she was excited, the emperor didn't remember this Kunning Palace once for ten days and a half months, this time, from a long time, it was like the cold palace, and she still blamed those sluts.
"Today I know that you are about to enter the palace, I ordered the grandma in the palace to prepare dim sum early in the morning, this is osmanthus lotus root powder sugar cake, this is chicken juice crisp!" As she spoke, the queen took out the plates from the palace maids with trays that the grandmother had called, and then broke them aside.
On the bed under the window, the plum blossom table in the middle sat on one side, and the other side was given to his son to sit.
The maid came up with a copper basin for washing her hands, washed her hands, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and threw the handkerchief into the basin.
For a moment, I heard the man say lightly
"I've said it many times, don't prepare these things when I enter the palace in the future, I don't eat them, it's a waste to put them away, and I bother the queen mother-!"
The man said slowly, looking at the things on the table, and finally couldn't let go, and finally picked a piece of halva.
"You have been outside the palace for many days, and you have to help your father deal with official affairs on weekdays, and the servants in the house are not satisfied, and the queen mother is worried about this-!"
Immediately, the king flicked his sleeves and took the halva in his hand to play with, only to hear a faint tone and say, "In the end, it is a prince, how can you not eat enough, why should the queen mother worry about this-!" β
And when he had finished praying, he withdrew from the temple.
As soon as the son left, sure enough, the queen's heart was empty again.

In a blink of an eye, the affairs of the imperial court were busy, and someone from Linshui wrote a letter saying that in business, the accounts of the three states and counties in the southwest this year were cleared, and these were all completed together under the guidance of Xiangxiang.
Mr. Teaching teaches well, this girl's head is also bright, and the people in the southwest are obedient to her management.
said that she was good at arithmetic, quick in calculation, and quick and accurate in calculating accounts, and even the old housekeepers in charge of the fields and the shopkeepers in the shops may not be as quick as her.
Although she is young, everyone is willing to cooperate, everyone knows that she is Boss Qin's own sister, and everyone is willing to call her, this little girl is quick to get started.
Just Xiangxiang's ability to handle the account management business has been greatly improved, here in the capital, the accounts of the entire Qin family were taken by Sima Wenyu in his hands, one by one, and the handling was in an orderly manner, this man really has this strength, he was recruited at the beginning, but fortunately he didn't look away.
In fact, even Qin Mo was a little skeptical, what kind of background was this man, and why he was so skilled in business affairs.
You must know that the Qin family's business is not an ordinary business, and it is impossible for ordinary people to get it without many years of experience in handling accounts, let alone a young and handsome son.
Qin Mo has always had doubts about the identity of this Sima Wenyu, but he secretly looked for someone to investigate, but the identity of this person was always a mystery and could not be seen through.
At the end of the year, this Sima Wenyu smoothed out the accounts of the Qin family's business this year, and Qin Mo actually admired this man's ability after seeing it.
Very admirable but unreassuring, defensive, who knows what his bottom is.
*
Qin Mo has been in the palace for two months and nearly three months, and she knows all the people in the palace, what queens, imperial concubines, and concubines are also familiar with each other.
It's just that after being in this palace for so long, I haven't seen the noble concubine, that is, Yan Youye's sister.
In fact, this is also the person she is most curious about.
From Yan Youye's words, he mentioned his sister, but he didn't know what kind of storage zΓ i was.
Yan Youye, also from the last time she went to the Hou Mansion to see him, she has never seen him again, to be exact, she doesn't want to see him, and since then, she has entered the palace, and he has even fewer chances to see him.
On this day, Qin Mo rested in the house.
The little guy outside the door suddenly came in, and reported that there was a carriage outside the door of the house, which looked gorgeous and exquisite, and it was not an ordinary family, the man didn't say his name, but only said that he came to visit the owner of the mansion, and the little guy was only regarded as Qin Mo's honored guest, so he didn't ask the name of the person, for fear of entertaining the distinguished guest, so he hurriedly came to report to Qin Mo.
Qin Mo was also stunned when he heard the news, at noon, on this cold day, Qin Mo was wearing a jacket in the house, it was so cold, and someone came to the door.
I lost the scroll in my hand, and then went out, and saw the person who walked in from the outside diameter, dressed in a plain brocade dress, black shoes and boots on his feet, black hair tied up with a silver belt on his head, and a jade crown in a brocade dress, but it was not Yan Youye who had not been seen for many days.
I haven't seen him for many days, my temperament is more relaxed, and my body is thinner than before.
Qin Mo saw that it was him, and his foot was nailed in the hall.
"Little Mo'er-!" As soon as he got closer, he felt the cold aura on his body, this man, Qin Mo stood still in place, wearing a half-new lotus pink satin shirt, the color of the originally good clothes, and the good mood seemed to be condensed by the cold air around him.
I thought I wasn't sad in my heart, but in this life, Xiao Mo'er still screamed that my heart was suddenly cold and broken.
Her face was cold, and she used the coldness to make her whole body defense.
The haughty sideways looked at him from a distance
"What are you doing-!"
He walked towards him, with a cold air, which invaded Qin Mo's face, it can be seen that the cold wind has been eaten on the road, this season, no matter how gorgeous the carriage is built on the outside, once it runs on the road, it can't stop the cold wind outside the carriage.
"Xiao Mo'er, I'm looking for you, I want to ask if you can help me-!"
Qin Mo rolled up his sleeves, the two of them stood facing each other, and she asked him coldly
"What do you want me to do you?"
I only saw Yan Youye at this moment with an anxious face, indeed, now I am looking at him, obviously, this noble son who used to be very proud, since Qin Mo entered the capital and saw him again, he found that the elegance and pride on his body that had retreated early were replaced by full heaviness and helplessness
"My sister... My sister is in the palace now and is in danger the emperor does not go to see her the imperial doctor may use medicine indiscriminately at any time I heard that you are walking in front of the palace and, and. In the past two months since you entered the palace, you have been very favored in front of the emperor, and the emperor must have listened to you very much, can you, in the palace, help my sister-! β
"How do you want me to help?!" Qin Mo still had a cold expression.
"You. You are now the most favored person around the emperor, what do you do, the emperor will not blame, you go to Chengqian Palace to see my sister, Xiao Mo'er, I know you have a lot of ways, you can definitely help my sister, save my sister from fire and water, right-! β
It turned out that this painstaking trip was just to want her help, so that she could help their family now.
So, what about the promise he once made to her, why deceive, why not keep it.
There were tears in my eyes, and my heart was painful, but I forced myself not to shed tears.
I was sad and disappointed.
"Why do you want me to help, didn't you marry the emperor's niece, isn't her mother the emperor's sister, the eldest princess, why did you come to beg me-!"
Yan Youye was stunned for a moment, the woman in front of him, he suddenly felt that her side looked so cold at the moment.
It turned out that she was blaming herself, and it turned out that what she did before hurt her.
"You blame me. It turns out that you blame me from the bottom of your heart, you blame me for marrying the lord of Nan'an-! β
Qin Mo roared out from his heart, "Yes, I blame you, I blame you for not keeping your promises, I blame you for breaking your promises, you are not trustworthy, you are not a man, you gave up me for the sake of power-!" β
Her eyes were red. Glared at him fiercely.
And Yan Youye was stunned for a moment, Jun's face was a little more indifferent, and he was also a little ashamed
"You blame me, blame me for not keeping the agreement, why don't you ask, how much you like me, when did you work hard and said you had to be me-!"
Qin Mo was stunned for a moment, while the man in front of him pursed his thin lips
"You always ask me, take our feelings to only ask me, in short, I came to beg you, the previous thing, I'm sorry, I apologize to you, I think I should say what I should say, this favor, whether you can help or not, whether you want to help or not, it's up to you-!"
He turned around and walked unusually resolutely, without getting his clothes or water.
At this moment, Qin Mo's heart was annoyed, angry, angry, and unwilling.
So, in the end, it's all her fault, right?
"Woo-woo!" Qin Mo, who had always felt that he was so enduring, this time, after he turned around, he squatted on the ground alone, ignoring the people who were doing things around the yard, and squatted on the ground alone and cried.
She was so presumptuous, willful, and cried like a child.
*
Qin Mo entered the palace the next day, and then got the emperor's approval, and after retiring from the early dynasty, he went to the Chengqian Palace.
She is a female official, so she will have a lot less trouble when she goes to the harem.
She was led by the palace maid and walked all the way to the Chengqian Palace, which was very close to the emperor's Qianqing Palace, located to the east, and also close to the queen's Kunning Palace, in a row.
The palace maid brought Qin Mo to the gate of Chengqian Palace, and there was another palace maid guarding the door at the gate of Chengqian Palace, asking Qin Mo's origin loudly.
Then Qin Mo reported his name.
Then the palace maid walked inside, and after a while, half a pillar of incense, she came out of it, and said to Qin Mo, you can go in.
This palace maid, Qin Mo shook her head, this palace maid of Chengqian Palace is actually so arrogant to her subordinates on weekdays, I really don't know if it is because the master here is too strong or too weak to deal with people on weekdays.
This Chengqian Palace is still relatively large, and there is a matching hall for things and things, and the main hall must be the concubine's.
Qin Mo is also the first time to see this concubine in this palace, it should be that in the past few months that Qin Mo has entered the palace, this concubine's condition has worsened, and she can't go down to the ground on weekdays, so she naturally can't see it.
Qin Mo went in, didn't see a few palace maids, the huge dormitory, only saw a very big bed, twenty feet long, more than ten feet square, the palace was very quiet, I don't know if the palace maids at this moment have gone to take a nap or what, in short, Qin Mo didn't see many people, the air can smell the smell of herbs, the veil on the bed is very long, very long, this is winter, the room is as cold as a cold palace, the carbon in the furnace is wet, completely extinguished, But the veil on the bed was still curled by the wind brought in by the half-open window.
As soon as Qin Mo came in, he was cold by the air, lowered his head and blew hot air from his mouth, and then turned his head, looked up at the beams of the main hall and pavilion incredibly, and then looked at the empty surroundings, so cold and lonely, could it be that this is the room of the legendary favorite concubine.
Make sure you're not walking into a cold palace. Thinking of that Yan Youye's self-esteem, don't come to beg herself, it seems that this concubine is indeed dying.
"Are you Miss Qin?"
