When Wang Ye heard his daughter answer so affirmatively, he naturally went back satisfied.

Concubine De originally thought it was a trivial matter, but when she sent someone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to instruct her, the answer she got back was no, saying that the supplier of this tribute had been decided, and she was afraid that she would not be able to return the original Fengshengde.

What the hell is the answer, she heard that her face twitched with anger, this was a blatant contempt for her, the palace concubine, so she shouted coldly: "Let the head of the internal affairs office come to my palace." ”

The little eunuch who got the order immediately shook off the dust and went to the Internal Affairs Office to ask the father-in-law in charge.

Not long after, the forty or fifty-year-old father-in-law rushed to Concubine De's bedroom, and as soon as he entered, he immediately knelt on the ground to say goodbye, "The slave has seen Concubine De's mother......"

Concubine De, who was lying on the chaise longue, looked coldly at the eunuch who dared to refuse her order, and did not let him calm down at the first time, but hummed: "My father-in-law is so majestic, he doesn't buy the account of the palace, is there no me in his eyes?" ”

"Niangniang forgives her sins, how dare the slave not take Niangniang in his eyes?" The director of the Internal Affairs Office is fair, thinking that this rich and virtuous Zhou Dangjia actually took refuge in Concubine De, this speed is really fast, but he said: "It's just something that Niangniang ordered, and the slave really can't do it......"

"Oh?" Concubine De raised her eyebrows lightly, "Isn't the affairs of this Internal Affairs Office in your charge?" Why can't you take care of it? Could it be that someone else is putting pressure on you? The words were full of ridicule, and a little head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs dared to be frivolous in front of her, she really didn't know how thick the sky was.

The father-in-law still said calmly: "Niangniang doesn't know, the supply of rouge gouache in the palace this year has been entrusted to the Jade Skin Fang, and it is not suitable to exchange it for Fengshengde, and the slave does not dare to be the master." After speaking, he looked up at Concubine De to show that he could not do anything.

Concubine De was stunned, "Jade Skin Fang? "It's a familiar name, but I can't remember where I've heard it for a while.

"It's the maiden home of Niangniang's biological mother, Mrs. Wang, the one opened by Mrs. Shizi of Xiangyang Houfu, she has sent products this year, how dare the slave not look at her? Of course, the qualifications for this tribute must be spent on the Jade Skin Workshop......"

"Ridiculous, can she, a little lady of the prince, still be able to cross the palace?" Concubine De shouted angrily, she had already looked at Lin Long unpleasantly, but now that the jade skin shop opened by this woman has squeezed out Fengshengde, she is even more unhappy, this Zhou family is now also the in-laws of the Wang family.

When the father-in-law in charge of the Internal Affairs Office heard what Concubine De said, he couldn't help but sneer slightly, does this Concubine De have a brain? When he said this, smart people can think of who else is behind this county lord of Nghe An, and how she is as ignorant as a cowhide lantern.

Maybe she didn't understand, so he pointed out the stakes behind it for her, "Niangniang forgot? This Mrs. Ye Shizi is also the cousin-in-law of the mother-in-law, not only that, but she is also the new daughter-in-law of the queen's mother. "Bite the word queen, showing his powerlessness, saving this unclear concubine from holding a grudge against him.

Concubine De's eyes narrowed slightly, damn it, she actually ignored this, doesn't this Lin Long be arrogant just by relying on the queen to support her back? She also hated this queen in her heart, and when she thought of the last time she laughed at herself, her face instantly turned black.

When the father-in-law of the Internal Affairs Office saw this, he did not speak to ridicule her, but still stood there respectfully, in this palace for decades, he was an old fritter, and he would not be as showy as a young man.

"Let's go down." Concubine De didn't want to talk to him again, and asked him to get out of the way with an annoyed face.

The father-in-law didn't say anything, and after bowing respectfully, Shi Shiran walked out of the concubine's bedroom.

When no one saw it, Concubine De was so angry that she smashed the tea bowl in her hand, "It's really unreasonable!" ”

Not only the queen, but even Lin Long is also a good object of resentment, this cousin-in-law makes her look unpleasant, and she doesn't want her Jade Skin Fang's products to become tribute, so she paced around the room with a gloomy face.

In order to please this concubine, the henchmen around him stepped forward to make a plan and said: "Niangniang, although the queen is said to be the master of the harem, isn't there still an emperor on this?" As long as the emperor Chrysostom is opened, what else can't be done? ”

When Concubine De heard this, she sat back on the chaise longue, thought for a while, and said unhappily: "The emperor has a lot of opportunities, how can I pay attention to this trivial matter, don't you let me touch the emperor's frieze?" ”

She knew very well that the emperor would not care about these trivial matters, no matter if she gave up or couldn't do it, she promised her mother, if she couldn't do it, she would lose face in front of her youngest brother's in-laws; Second, naturally she couldn't get used to Lin Long, and she didn't want her to be good at all.

"Niangniang, having said that, it is not too much to ask for this reward when Niangniang has been sleeping with the emperor for a while." The henchman palace maid on the side continued.

Concubine De thinks about it, this is also the reason, during this period of time, she will go to the emperor's bedroom every day or two to secretly celebrate and ask for a little benefit, isn't it a logical thing? Besides, if she doesn't mention the queen, it is not difficult for the emperor to accept her. After thinking about it, she smiled and said, "It's still you who are clever." ”

"Thank you for your appreciation."

Concubine De saw it, and she also appreciated a small ornament for this Gong E, and when she saw this Gong E's happy appearance, the corners of her mouth hooked a little mockery.

Get up and go to the inner room to get dressed up, and later she will go to the emperor to Cheng Huan, no matter what, this is her chance to get ahead.

After she bathed in the petal bath, her whole body was fragrant, and then she put on the ordinary palace maid's clothes, made a charming expression towards herself in the mirror, and then pushed the door out with satisfaction.

The time was just right, the eunuch who came to pick her up was waiting under the porch, she didn't call anyone in, she lifted the curtain and went out, a cold spring breeze blew, and she tightened her clothes.

"Let's go."

When the eunuch heard this, he was busy leading the way, even if this concubine wore a palace maid's costume, he would not really treat her as a palace maid, in the end, she was a palace concubine, and it was not something he could offend lightly.

This time, Emperor Zhu Yi met her in the imperial study, and as soon as he saw her, he rudely pulled her to lie on the imperial case and began to peel off her clothes.

"Your Majesty, slow down......" Concubine De said coquettishly.

Because of the death of the tenth prince, the emperor called her not as diligent as before, this time after three days, I am afraid that her body has long been unable to bear it, and she has a little pride in her heart.

Zhu Yi turned a deaf ear, just tossed her vigorously.

Concubine De groaned wantonly.

"Shut up." Zhu Yi doesn't like to listen to her voice, in his opinion, this woman is lackluster, just summoned her for a while, which she looks like is okay, and she doesn't preach everywhere like brainless, so he is still happy to vent too much lust on her.

Concubine De bit her lower lip to stop herself from making a sound, and then bit the back of her hand even more, where Zhu Yi couldn't see, there was a little resentment in her eyes. She is also a human being, the emperor doesn't treat her as a human being at all, how can she not hate?

After the pause, she leaned limply against the emperor's body.

Zhu Yi looked at her cheeks that were still a little red with a calm face, and felt a little disgusted for no reason, pushed her away, and tidied up the clothes on her body that were not too messy.

Concubine De felt aggrieved in her heart, and her face naturally showed that she was crying: "Your Majesty, isn't the concubine waiting well?" ”

Zhu Yi glanced at her, "Where is so much nonsense?" ”

"Since the emperor is not dissatisfied with the concubines, let the concubines take a beat." Concubine De cheekily leaned on Zhu Yi, and a tear fell on the man's dragon robe, "Your Majesty, the concubine is such a sneaky servant, for fear that others will know, the emperor ......"

Hearing this complaint, Zhu Yi knew that this woman was not satisfied, and the best thing to deal with the women in the harem was money, so he interrupted her with a rather unhappy face, "I will reward you when I go back." ”

Concubine De bit her lower lip, the emperor said this, which meant that he still felt a little guilty about himself, and plucked up the courage to say: "The emperor really wants to reward his concubines?" ”

"What do you want?"

"Is anything okay?"

Zhu Yi looked at her impatiently, an unknown spark flashed in his dark eyes, and motioned to her not to open her mouth, such as to raise the concubine position or something, at present, the Gao family has vacated the position of the concubine second only to the queen, and he has no intention of letting any woman sit in this position.

Seeing this, Concubine De was afraid that he would regret it, so she hurriedly said: "The emperor misunderstood the concubine, the youngest brother of the concubine's family wants to get married, and his in-laws are one of the imperial merchants, which is the rich virtue of supplying rouge gouache in the palace, and I also ask the emperor to give him the will to continue to be the imperial merchant, so that the younger brother of the concubine can also have some face......

This is just a trivial matter, Zhu Yi didn't care, and immediately wrote a will to Concubine De, coaxing this stupid woman is not bad, saving her from doing things behind her back.

Concubine De took it overjoyed, a smug glint flashed in her lowered eyebrows, with this will, even if the queen came forward this time, she would not be able to return to the sky, and when she thought of the annoying cousin-in-law's knowing expression, the rampant in her eyes was even worse.

"Concubine Xie Zhu Longen."

Zhu Yi nodded indispensably, and finally gave Concubine De some other financial rewards as compensation.

Concubine De is naturally overjoyed, which means that the emperor loves her and allows her to walk in the harem to show off.

Lin Long, who was on the other side, kept feeling that her eyes were jumping, and since she knew that the Wang and Zhou families were married, she had an indescribable upset, so she came to the Jade Skin Workshop early in the morning and kept looking at the table in a daze.

"Sister Long, what's wrong?" Lin Lu asked inexplicably, his eyes full of concern.

"It's nothing, Erniang, it's just that my eyes are beating hard." Lin Long came back to her senses and said with a smile, she didn't want Erniang to worry about her, so she said this to reassure her heart.

"Eye-catching?" Beshin, who was sitting next to him, repeated.

"Hmm." Lin Long didn't hide it.

"Who's jumping?" Bei Shenshi asked sternly.

"My right eye is jumping." Lin Long said to the Bei Shen clan disappreciatively, and it was not something that could not be told secret.

Bei Shenshi glanced at the hourglass and said, "It's your own moment, Sister Long, and the right eyebeat at this moment means that someone is looking for trouble with you." ”

When Lin Long heard this, his expression was solemn.

Lin Lushi became nervous first, "Mrs. Pei, is this statement reliable?" ”

"I don't know, but that's what the old people have always said." "In my opinion, it is better to believe that there is something than to believe that there is nothing." ”

Lin Long pondered a few words for someone to trouble her, and then a flash of inspiration suddenly stood up, this time she finally understood the obstacle in front of her, "I see, I'm really stupid for three years......"

"Sister Long, what's wrong?"

Lin Lu and Bei Shen both hurriedly stood up and asked in unison, their eyes full of concern.

Lin Long took a deep breath and sat down again, "I'm fine, I just figured out something." ”

Lin Lu and Bei Shen glanced at each other, and sat down without knowing what to do.

"Erniang, Aunt Pei, don't worry, I'm fine." Lin Long comforted the two and said, "The marriage between the two families of Wang and Zhou is for our Jade Skin Workshop, and the Zhou family can even sacrifice their own daughters in order to turn the tables, which really impresses me." The last words were full of mockery.

Lin Qi and Bei Mingfei, who were coming in with the curtains, glanced at each other, and the two of them eagerly stepped forward.

"Sister, what does this mean?" Lin Qi was the first to ask.

Lin Long calmed down this time, took a sip of sweet soup, and sneered: "What can it mean, that is, Fengshengde is unwilling to give this tribute throne, so he found the Wang family as a backer, and in order to be more reliable, he sacrificed his own daughter to marry a fool, and I didn't figure it out until now." ”

"This week's family is really hateful." Lin Qi said indignantly, "Is this still human?" What do you think of your daughter? ”

Pei Mingfei has experienced family changes, and knows that sometimes he has to do things that he is reluctant to do for the sake of the family, so he doesn't have many thoughts of grievances for the daughter of the family this week, and said more realistically: "Ah Long, if this is the case, things are not very easy to do." And are you sure that's the case? Shall we send someone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask? ”

Lin Long pondered for a while, "I really want to ask, I'll go in person this time." ”

Behind the Wang family is undoubtedly Concubine De, but now the consequence of the situation is that her stepmother's queen family is dominant, this internal affairs government will not buy Concubine De's account lightly, she is not afraid of 10,000, just in case, there are too many unexpected things in this world.

"Sister, I'll go with you." Lin Qi said busily.

Lin Long put on a thick cloak and patted his sister's tender face, "That's not a good place, you don't have to go, obediently guard the storefront here, I'll go back when I go." ”

When Lin Qi heard this, he pouted.

Lin Long didn't care, glanced at Lin Lu and Bei Shen, and stopped them from wanting to go with him, so he lightly raised the curtain and wanted to go out.

At this time, Fu Rui led a man in his forties and fifties in civilian clothes to come in, and came to Lin Long's side and whispered, "Big girl, this person said that he is the chief of the Internal Affairs Office, and this time he came back and asked to see the big girl......

When Lin Long heard this, he "chuckled" in his heart, squinted his eyes and looked at his father-in-law who was smiling like Maitreya Buddha, his heart was clear, but he said: "I am tired of my father-in-law for a trip, and I am disappointed in my welcome, please come inside." ”

She made a gesture of please.

The father-in-law in charge smiled when he saw Lin Long's posture, it seemed that this prince and lady already knew her intentions. Before coming to the Jade Skin Workshop, he had been to the Xiangyang Hou Mansion first, but he was told that the Lady of the Prince had arrived at the Jade Skin Workshop, so he hurried over.

"The county lord is polite, our family is here to accept the guilt." The father-in-law put away his smile and bowed his hand as a courtesy, he knows how to watch people put down dishes, and naturally knows that there is no need to say too much nonsense in the face of this county lord.

"What is the crime of the father-in-law?" Lin Long smiled, "In turn, I have to thank my father-in-law." ”

"How dare you!" The father-in-law replied humbly.

"Let's talk inside."

Lin Long led back to the inner room again, and several women in the room all stood up in unison.

Lin Long didn't say much, but sat on the main seat with Su Wen's help, casually motioned for everyone to sit down, and then instructed Su Wen to make a bowl of fragrant tea in person.

After the father-in-law in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs bowed, he lifted his robe and sat down, took the tea bowl in Su Wen's hand, and took a sip of tea and put it on the desk casually. "The county lord must know why our family came, and our family does not hide the county lord, not that our family does not believe in his words, but this time there is the emperor's will, and our family is just acting according to the will."

Lin Long listened to his father-in-law's explanation, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "This tribute rouge gouache is not a big deal, how could the emperor deliberately make a will?" ”

"Our family doesn't know, but our family did receive the emperor's will, so we had to come to explain to the county lord in person and bear the guilt." The father-in-law said politely and slippery, but in fact, what is his crime? It's just that he is acting according to orders, but he doesn't plan to offend Lin Long because of this matter, so as to become a thorn in the queen's side, and he can't keep the position of the supervisor.

Lin Long was surprised by this result, but after thinking about it, he was not surprised, and tapped the table, "Can my father-in-law tell me, who came up with this will?" ”

"This?" The father-in-law was a little embarrassed on his face, and asked him to say that he was Concubine De in person, if this reached Concubine De's ears, wouldn't it affect him? This concubine's ability was beyond his expectations, which made him re-examine the ranking of the harem.

Lin Long didn't embarrass him, but dipped his hand in some sweet soup and wrote the word Concubine De on the table, and raised his eyebrows again to look at the father-in-law, "But she?" ”

The father-in-law was no longer vague this time, and nodded slightly.

Lin Long wiped off the water stain with a handkerchief, and then threw the handkerchief away, "Don't worry, father-in-law, I won't cause you to lose your job." ”

"The benevolence of the county lord, our family is very grateful." The father-in-law hurriedly got up and saluted.

Lin Long nodded slightly, everyone is a smart person, and some words can be stopped immediately.

When the father-in-law saw that this was over, the good words of the lord of Ngee Ann were beyond his expectations, but he liked to deal with such a smart person, so he got up with a smile and took his leave.

Lin Long didn't stop him, but asked Furui to send him out.

When the figure of this father-in-law disappeared, the smile on her face disappeared.

"Ah Long, this is too much." Bei Mingfei clenched his fists and said. When she saw this eunuch come in, she retreated to the farthest place, and Chang Gonggong impressed her too much.

Lin Long leaned back, "We were qualified to get this tribute on Feng Shengde's head by virtue of our status before, which was also too much in the eyes of the Zhou family, but now people are just doing the same, I won't be angry about this." ”

Not being angry is one thing, but on the other hand, she can't figure it out, she knows very well the pattern of the queen's dominance in the palace, how did this Concubine De make the emperor make such a will for her? There must be an article in this, and I know the whole leopard at a glance, and I can't help but sweat for Su Ziyu.

"Sister, then let's give up?"

Lin Qi's eyes were full of unwillingness, in the past few days, because of the qualification for this tribute, they have imported a lot of raw materials, recruited a lot of women to work, and expanded the original workshop land, spending no less than 10,000 taels of silver before and after, but now they say that they want to give up, and the previous investment has been wasted, how can she not be congested?

"What else can you do if you don't give up?" Lin Lu's can see it, anyway, money is not an urgent matter for the current Lin family, as long as the family is safe, she will be satisfied, this icing on the cake is fortunate for her, it must be her life, and she does not force it.

"Sister Long, your second mother is right, we don't have to fight." Bei Shen's also knows the truth of taking a step back and opening up the sky, which is a lesson that her Bei family exchanged for blood.

"No, this time it's a must." Lin Long suddenly said softly and firmly, "There is no turning back from the arrow, I don't accept defeat." ”

"Sister, I support you." When Lin Qi heard this, his heart was immediately filled with pride and ambition.

Bei Mingfei also stepped forward to hug this confidant and friend, "Ah Long, I also support you." It is because of you that you believe in your every decision. ”

Lin Long patted her friend's jade hand with emotion, and flinched without even fighting, this is not her style. After a while, she stood up and said, "Okay, since everyone has reached a consensus, then I will go into the palace to move the rescue army this time." ”

Lin Lu and Bei Shen saw that these young girls were high-spirited, they both looked at each other and smiled, and then shook their heads, since they couldn't stop it, let these young girls mess around.

When Lin Long set off to the palace, Zhou Dangjia also ushered in the father-in-law in charge of the Internal Affairs Office who came to the door in person, and this time the father-in-law told him quite politely, and the share of this tribute still fell on his head of Fengde, which made the joy on his face unable to hide.

"My father-in-law came to tell me that this is a little bit of heart." Zhou Dangjia is quite good at being a person, and immediately let people give a large amount of silver tickets.

The father-in-law glanced at it, but didn't push it back, put it away and folded it and stuffed it into his sleeve, "Zhou Dangjia is really a bold person, he found a new backer so quickly, our family admires it." ”

"It's not a little more father-in-law to guide the maze, otherwise I'll be rushing around like a headless fly." Zhou Dangjia politely gave a high hat, the father-in-law in charge of the Internal Affairs Office.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." The father-in-law in charge smiled, "In the final analysis, it's still Zhou's ability, isn't it?" ”

Zhou Dangjia smiled smugly, this time he didn't refute it, his family and the Wang family formed an in-law, this status is naturally rising, there is a mother in the palace as a backer, and there is no need to sell this old thing too much.

The father-in-law in charge looked at it, with a slight mockery in his eyes, if it weren't for the fact that Concubine De seemed to be quite favored by the emperor, he would not be so polite to a merchant, and it has always been these people who have scolded him.

Zhou Dangjia personally sent the father-in-charge out to board the carriage, lowered the curtain for him, and then stood aside to see off the difficult father-in-law.

Seeing the carriage driving away, this time he did not go back to the shop, turned around and explained a few words to the little guy beside him, and then raised his feet and walked down the street. His wife had done a great job in his idea, and he was going to buy her some hairpins as a reward, and he had a slight smile on his face at the thought that his wife would be overjoyed.

At this time, the harem has to give the ten princes an excess, and the queen takes the lead in person, and all palace concubines must attend.

Concubine De arrived in a bright orange palace dress, with a phoenix hairpin inlaid with colorful gemstones on her head, and a pink peony silk flower on her sideburns.

"Sister Concubine De, this phoenix hairpin is so beautiful."

"Sister Concubine De, oops, the one you wear on this hand is so beautiful, it's new, right?"

“……”

The successive words of compliment and envy made Concubine De's self-esteem swell, and she retracted her hand hypocritically, "What are you talking about, what are these about." ”

The implication was that if it weren't for this occasion, she would have been more beautiful than she had not been dressed, and there was a sound of envy around her, and she laughed even more wildly.

This high-profile behavior still makes many low-key concubines unaccustomed to it, and it is also a norm to look at others in the harem.

Someone hid and whispered.

"Look at her rampant, what is her surname forgotten?"

"How long do I think she'll be proud? Don't look at what kind of occasion this is, when the queen mother comes over, maybe how to treat her crimes? ”

"That's it, if there are really good things to show off, I have to look at the occasion, I really can't carry it, and I don't know how many pounds and taels I have, hum!"

"She is the granddaughter of Mrs. Wang, of course she has proud capital, so I don't blush her. But tell me, where did she get so many good things? Recently, the tenth prince died, and the atmosphere in the palace was much sluggish, and I didn't dare to order people to make jewelry, she was good, and she was so high-profile in the limelight. ”

"I'm wondering too, I can't guess ......"

"You also have to have a backstage to do a crime against the wind, guess who supports her?"

“……”

For a while, they talked about it in private.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, so someone whispered: "I heard that someone saw her wearing a palace maid's costume in and out of the imperial study......"

Suddenly, the listener's eyes widened, "Really? Does the Queen Mother know? The words are full of envy, jealousy and hatred, the emperor has not come to the harem to apply rain and dew, they are drought, and now I heard that some people do not follow the rules, and the hatred is stronger than in the past.

"Who knows? I'm not a roundworm in the belly of the queen's mother. ”

"In my opinion, the queen mother will know sooner or later that the rampant days of this concubine will be a few days away, and we will watch the play on the side."

"yes, see how long she can laugh?"

Gritting teeth and resentful words come out casually, everyone wants to be in the limelight, but they can't look down on the proud faces of others in front of themselves, which is the inferior nature of human nature.

For these ill-intentioned and waiting for schadenfreude eyes, Concubine De smiled, she just wanted the jealousy of these resentful women, this feeling was super good, and she enjoyed it very much.

The gaze of the princess and princess was very cold, especially Princess Yong'an and the Seventh Prince, they were all siblings of the Ten Princes, and they were already very sad, and it was even more difficult to see this high-profile harem concubine.

"Slut." Princess Yong'an spat out two words hatefully.

"The bones of the tenth brother are not cold, so she is not afraid of being punished by heaven?" The Seventh Prince had a gloomy little face.

Princess Yong'an turned her head away from this showy concubine, compared to such a person, it was much better to take care of their sister and brother's mother during this time, and she felt quite guilty for her own appearance when the tenth brother died that day. The queen mother is a good person, she can no longer live in the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and it was the biological mother who killed the tenth brother.

"We told the queen mother to cure the sins of this scumbag." The Seven Princes mentioned yì said.

Princess Yong'an shook her head, "Seventh brother, let's not make trouble for the queen mother. ”

After this great change, at a young age, she knew that there was no one behind her, this Concubine De didn't dare to be so rampant, and there was no one in her eyes, as for this person who supported her, she heard a lot of gossip and vaguely guessed that it was her father. Thinking of this, she clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and felt a little repulsive towards her father.

The Seventh Prince glanced fiercely in the direction of Concubine De, this damn woman.

The other princes and princesses also looked at Concubine De's tricks coldly.

Concubine De's limelight is enough, so it is a little more restrained, and now that the harem is reshuffled, if she is high-profile, wouldn't it be like a brocade at night? That's not going to work, that's not her style.

"The Queen Mother has arrived—"

Hearing this voice, everyone in the palace nervously and quickly lined up to meet the lord of the harem.

Su Ziyu wore a palace dress with dark lines of white embroidered Xuan, a low-key jasper silver hairpin on her head, and a string of Buddhist beads in her hand.

She passed through the two rows of people, paused when she passed by Concubine De, turned her head to look at this harem beauty with heavy makeup, her eyes looked at the curtsy Concubine De thoroughly, and a cold voice sounded, "Concubine De, have you forgotten what the occasion is today?" ”

"There are no concubines, isn't this an overdose for the Ten Princes?" Concubine De said innocently.

Su Ziyu sneered and gently tugged at Concubine De's gorgeous palace dress with her hand, "Do you have the heart to spend time for that little life that has passed?" According to the palace, you are dressed up in a fancy way and clearly want to invite the emperor's favor. ”

"The concubine has no such intention, the queen is a clear guide."

Concubine De looked up at Su Ziyu nervously, but when she touched the cold face of the lord of the harem, she shivered all over her body, and quickly lowered her head again, what the hell, she seemed to be a little afraid of this Queen Su.

"Don't mean that? So what do you mean by dressing like this? Su Ziyu held the hand of the Buddha bead and pointed at the hall, "Look at who is like you?" Point it out and show it to Hongu. ”

Concubine De's eyes glanced at it, although the other people were not dressed as lightly as Queen Su, but the color was either gray or black or white, and none of them were too fancy, this time cold sweat broke out on her forehead, she seemed to be really too showy.

"Do you see it all?" Su Ziyu asked coldly.

"Minister...... The concubine understood. Concubine De endured the dissatisfaction in her heart and replied with a loud voice.

"Go back to your dormitory and change this clothes, as well as your phoenix hairpin, plus the messy jewelry on your wrist, this palace will give you two quarters of an hour, if you exceed, you will bear the consequences."

"The concubine knows."

Concubine De didn't dare to waste time, it didn't take two quarters of an hour to return to her dormitory from here, and now she didn't have much time to give, so she hurriedly withdrew from the hall after saluting despite the ridicule of everyone.

When Princess Yongan saw this scene, she couldn't help but look at Su Ziyu with gratitude, still the queen mother was wise.

Su Ziyu didn't linger any longer, but stepped forward to sit on the futon and said to the old monk who had been waiting for a long time: "Let's start." ”

The old monk received the order, immediately sat cross-legged, opened his mouth to read the scriptures, and then the Sanskrit sound was faint, and the atmosphere in the hall was solemn.

Su Ziyu looked at this scene expressionlessly, this was very familiar to her, once, she sent away her three children like this, because she was underage, she didn't even have a decent funeral, and her thoughts couldn't help but fly away.

A teardrop slipped down her slightly closed eyes, this is what she misses her three children who died early in her heart, and the death of the ten princes can only be said to be Gao Ningzhen's retribution.

Concubine De hurriedly put on the simple clothes brought by the palace maid, and returned to the palace in two quarters of an hour, this time even she felt like a gray mouse, and some people secretly smiled at her sarcastically, which said in her heart that she was as aggrieved as she was, and sat in the futon at the head of the queen with hatred.

Several high-ranking concubines have been lost, and now in the harem, in addition to the queen, there is only one good concubine who can compete with her. Her eyes looked at the good concubine who seemed to be compassionate on the other side, and the corners of her mouth secretly skimmed, this good concubine entered the palace earlier than her, and only gave birth to a daughter, but she was so low-key that people couldn't think of it.

Concubine Liang seemed to feel her gaze, turned her head to look at her, and then she quickly withdrew her gaze and sat down.

The ceremony lasted for two full hours, and during this time, even though they felt tired, no one dared to cry out bitterly, and everyone was silent for the child who did not think of it.

Su Ziyu got up from the futon with the help of Hongling, and only at this time did she stop the Buddha beads that were turning in her hand, glanced at Concubine De, and saw her gray face, she couldn't help but feel ridiculous, in this sensitive period, this person can't even pick up his tail, he is really stupid, and he is not afraid.

Concubine De's scalp was numb when she saw it, but she didn't dare to make another mistake, so she could only stand there quietly and let the lord of the harem look at her.

Su Ziyu only looked at it for a long time, then withdrew her gaze, and beckoned to Princess Yong'an and the Seventh Prince, and the two of them stepped forward to her side knowingly, and she led one out of the hall with one hand.

The women in the palace all saw it clearly, but they didn't expect Su Ziyu to really be the umbrella of these two princes and princesses who had lost the support of their biological mothers.

Princess Yongan raised her head and whispered, "Queen Mother, thank you." ”

Su Ziyu held the Buddha beads and stroked the top of her head, "If you call me a queen mother, I will protect you thoroughly." ”

Princess Yongan was so moved that there were tears in her eyes, and her small body was even closer to Su Ziyu.

The three of them walked in the forefront, and just as Su Ziyu was about to let the two children sit on the wide phoenix chariot, suddenly someone in front of them shouted, "There are assassins-"

Su Ziyu looked stunned, frowned, and saw that the palace maiden not far away was in a mess, and the palace guards were chasing several black-clothed assassins.

Hongling hurriedly flashed forward to block in front of Su Ziyu, while Princess Yong'an's sisters and brothers were stunned and stood in place in a daze, when did they experience such a battle? I couldn't react for a while.

Su Ziyu stretched out her hand to hold the two children in her arms, "Don't be afraid, the queen mother is here." ”

Princess Yong'an was pale and clinged to Su Ziyu tightly, and with a pair of frightened eyes, she watched the surrounding palace people quickly surround the three of them to protect her, she still didn't have a sense of security, "Queen Mother, I'm afraid." ”

Su Ziyu comforted softly, "The queen mother will protect your ......"

Before the words fell, the assassin had already rushed into this small circle, and the soft sword drawn by Hongling danced vigorously, but it could not completely protect his master, and his face couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Su Ziyu was born in Jiangmen, although she doesn't know martial arts, she is still very agile in dodging, but the two children have become a drag on her.

The concubines who walked out of the hall one after another all opened their eyes wide, and some people were so frightened that their feet were weak, this assassin was too rampant in broad daylight, and some people screamed.

Concubine De looked at Su Ziyu who was in danger with resentful eyes, it was best that the master of the harem was stabbed to death, so that no one would stand in her way, the fists under her sleeves were clenched very tightly, and she stood there without blinking.

Seeing this, Gong E beside her hurriedly dragged her to avoid the palace, "Niangniang? ”

Concubine De came back to her senses at this time, and hurriedly retreated back to the hall, seeing the sword light of those black-clothed people shining with silver light, she hurriedly ordered loudly, "Close the door of the palace, don't let them rush in." ”

The concubines who hurriedly entered the palace all looked at each other, and when they saw the queen and the imperial heir in danger outside, this behavior of closing the palace door without permission seemed to be inappropriate, didn't this abandon the master and mother?

"Do you all want to die?" Concubine De shouted angrily.

Once people are in danger of life, they will naturally make the most advantageous choice, and the concubines who are afraid of death will ignore the Queen Su and the princes and princesses outside under the leadership of Concubine De, and quickly close the door of the palace.

After some movements, even though the spring is cold, everyone is still sweating on their foreheads.

Concubine De sat in the chair blocking the door, and the wild beating in her heart calmed down a little at this time, and after a while, did Queen Su, who always remember that she was hanging up?

She stood on this chair, looked out through the window lattice, and saw that Su Ziyu was still intact, and immediately hated itchy, and couldn't help but secretly scold these assassins in her heart for being useless, and this could not solve Su Ziyu.

"Hurry up, Empress Su is by your side, you useless ......" she muttered to the uselessness of the assassin.

"Concubine De, what are you doing here?" Someone noticed her muttering and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It's nothing, I'm just worried about the queen." Concubine De replied with a worried face.

This answer made all the concubines in the palace secretly scoff, I was really worried that the queen would not call on them to close the palace door to protect themselves at the first time, this concubine was false enough.

Concubine De didn't care either, and focused on the fight outside.

Su Ziyu, who was in the shadow of the sword and sword, still looked quite calm, while dodging, while directing the palace people and palace guards around him to fight, he could still barely maintain it.

In addition to Princess Yong'an and the Seventh Prince who she protected in her arms, the other imperial heirs were also safe and sound, and they all followed Su Ziyu closely, so that their lives could be maximized.

Suddenly, the Seventh Prince stumbled and fell to the ground because one of them couldn't keep up, and at this time, there happened to be an assassin in front of him, and when he saw that the prince was alone, he immediately raised his sword and stabbed down.

The Seventh Prince's eyes widened in fright.

Seeing this, Su Ziyu pushed Princess Yong'an into Lusu's arms, and then turned around and hugged the Seventh Prince in his arms, and the sword that shone with cold light in the spring stabbed her back mercilessly-
