The queen asked, "Coming back?" This palace explained your affairs, but you have already explained it to Concubine Zheng? ”

Qiao Qiao bowed down and said, "Niangniang's words have already been told to Concubine Zheng, if Concubine Zheng is really a smart person, she will know what to do." It's just that Weichen doesn't understand why the queen wants to find the Zheng family, the emperor has long been jealous of the Zheng family, and the Zheng family was also disrespectful to the queen in the past......"

"There are never eternal enemies in this world, and there are no eternal friends." The queen slowly picked up the tea, "The Zheng family is poured, and Concubine Yan is getting more and more powerful, originally there was only the Zheng family to contend with, but now it has lost the Zheng family's checks and balances, and it has become more rampant." If it weren't for the scruples of the Queen Mother, do you really think that Concubine Yan would not move the palace? ”

Qiao Qiao was still puzzled.

The queen sneered, "The Zheng family is jealous of the emperor, but the emperor can't be dominated by concubines in the front of the harem, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse." Now that my brother's life and death are uncertain, there is no one in the palace to use at the moment, since the ready-made ones are in front of you, then use them well, and when the emperor sends them down, the palace does not have to accept her fruits. ”

Qiao Qiao smiled slightly, "What the queen said may not be fully understood, but since the queen mother already has an idea, then the queen just has to follow the queen mother, whatever the queen mother says, Weichen will do." ”

The queen stretched out her hand and took a piece of jade pendant from the table, "This is a good jade from the outside tribute, I heard that it is from Lantian, the palace looks very good, I will reward you!" This palace looks at An Siyi as if there is a similar style, which is rewarded by the emperor, and this palace looks very good, although it is not as good as the one that the emperor rewarded her, but it is also a rare top grade. ”

The jade pendant is the crane and the deer with the spring, the original is taken from the image of the paulownia tree, the crane and the deer three carved out, "tong" and "the same" homonym, the same spring, is the meaning like spring as full of vitality. Cranes and deer are also rui beasts, metaphors for Lu and longevity, that is, the meaning of wishing longevity and eternal youth. It's a great allegory.

Qiao Qiao said softly, "An Siyi's piece is not only in good condition, but also a mold of flowing clouds and residual snow, and the residual snow and water are also An Siyi's favorite plum blossoms, I heard that the emperor found Si Zhen's Si Zhen and carved it by hand for a month." In the end, it can't compare to her piece anyway. ”

The queen glanced at Qiao Qiao deeply, "What did you just say, what are you muttering!" ”

Qiao Qiao came back to her senses and quickly knelt down, "Weichen likes this jade pendant too much, so he lost his mind for a while." ”

"Alright, get up!" The queen smiled, "In the past, I didn't think you were so loyal, but it was commendable. This palace values you for the same reason, you are already nineteen years old, and when you go out of the palace at the age of twenty-five, this palace will point you to a good family, so that you can marry from the side of this palace in style. ”

"So, thank you for your grace."

"You are loyal to the palace, and you are also smart and neat, although the palace seems to be losing power now, you are even more loyal because of it. You have been by the side of this palace for four or five years, but you have never been promoted to the throne from the beginning. Even An Sui next to the emperor has gone from the eighth grade at the beginning to the first grade now, and you should also enter your position, the position of Shangyi next to the palace is still vacant, and this is also left for you. ”

After hearing this, Qiao Qiao kowtowed again and again to thank her, "Thank you for the grace of the queen!" Weichen will be smeared with liver and brain, and he will never give up. ”

Empress Zongzheng stretched out her hand to help Qiao Qiao up, "Get up, this palace has nothing to give you, at most, it won't let you lose too much to others." ”

Qiao Qiao thanked him again and again, and retired and left the inner hall.

Se Yun said softly, "Niangniang, in the past, Niangniang felt that Master Qiao's eyebrows and eyes were full of calculations, and she was unwilling to use it more, but now why is it suddenly reused like this." ”

"Brother doesn't know where it is now, look at the people in the harem, especially Concubine Yan, staring at this throne in the palace. In the past, there was Concubine Zheng, but now it is gone, and there was a brother in the past, but now it is gone. In the past, the palace had a choice, but now there is no choice. The harem is like walking on a cliff, and it will be broken at any time, and the palace didn't believe it in the past, so it will be controlled everywhere. Today's main shrine is no longer yesterday's main shrine. The queen seemed to have a knife hidden in her eyes, and a sharp glance would hurt you.

Seyun bent down and said, "Since the queen has made a decision, the slave and maid will follow the master wholeheartedly. ”
