The news that the Maomin rebellion had been quelled soon spread as the court meeting dispersed.

Naturally, the inner palace also got the news, because the king of Jin'an also asked the person who announced the good news to bring gifts to the queen mother and queen.

"This little brute!"

In the palace, the concubine has been indignant for a long time, and the broken tea bowls on the ground have been picked up, but everyone is still careful.

"There is no Hongu as a gift?"

The chamberlain followed her back and forth with a helpless expression.

"Mother, that's a little local pendant......"

"Things are small, but etiquette is big." The concubine raised her eyebrows and said, "This little beast has been a man since he was a child, pleasing everyone, even in the past few years when King Qing was injured, he has never lost his courtesy to the palace, why did he forget the palace this time?" ”

"Yes, it shouldn't be, the king of Jin'an is so particular about etiquette, did he forget it?" The chamberlain frowned.

This matter is indeed strange, and it stands to reason that the king of Jin'an County will not be like this.

"Eccentric? Nor is it quirky. The concubine sneered and said, "It wouldn't be like this before, but now it will, because his wings are stiff, he can go out, he can manage government affairs, he can lead troops, he has won battles, he has long skills, and the most important thing is..."

She stopped at this point.

"It's famous."

"Mother, what kind of fame is this." The chamberlain laughed.

"Why doesn't that count?" The concubine raised her eyebrows and said, "That's it!" Everyone knows that this boy who sends children can not only send children, but also fight wars and be errands! ”

"Mother, so what." The waiter said helplessly.

The mother is getting more and more anxious. Especially when I heard the news of the king of Jin'an. A little bit of news that doesn't matter. can make her a little out of shape.

It seems that what Master Gao said before leaving is to be optimistic about Niangniang, he didn't say it casually.

Niang Niang does have some...

"How?"

The concubine turned to look at him.

Although she could not imagine the emperor's joy without the imperial concubine, the emperor's laughter seemed to echo in her ears.

“… I knew that the king of Jin'an County lived up to my high expectations. ”

"Lord Chen has refuted Your Majesty, saying that you shouldn't say that." The waiter hurriedly said.

The concubine turned her head and smacked at him.

"But Your Majesty still said it, whether you let it say it or not, Your Majesty thinks so in your heart." She said.

Why are you surrounded by these stupid people?

The waiter laughed and laughed.

"It's been April, why hasn't the matter of the crown prince been decided yet?" The concubine said.

"Oh, that's it." The waiter hurriedly said. "The Chinese book has also been passed, and His Majesty said that it will be discussed after the Maoping disaster has subsided."

"Talk again? Why renegotiate? What's there to talk about here? The concubine said urgently.

"The queen said that April is the birthday of the Queen Mother, and it happens to be celebrated together." The chamberlain said.

"Queen?" The concubine raised her eyebrows, "She said?" When did she start talking? ”

The chamberlain sneered.

"Niangniang, the queen's body seems to be much better, and I went to see the queen mother the day before yesterday." He said.

Can you still go out?

"Why doesn't this palace know about this?" The concubine was shocked and angry, "How come the palace doesn't know about such a big thing?" ”

When did this harem happen to avoid her eyes?

Is it the Queen? Is it this woman who has regained control of the harem?

"No, no." The chamberlain hurriedly appeased, "Niangniang, you are busy seeing King Ping, and it is rare to sit with His Majesty King Ping for a meal." These little things didn't dare to disturb you, besides, the queen just went to sit down. came and went in a sedan chair, and was also supported by the palace maid when she went in and out, which frightened the queen mother, thinking that she was returning to the light..."

The concubine sneered and laughed, and hurriedly raised her eyebrows and scolded him.

"What nonsense!" She said, "Can you say that?" ”

The chamberlain smiled.

"There's nothing you can't say here." He said flatteringly.

The concubine breathed a sigh of relief, but her expression was still depressed.

"Niangniang, don't worry, you just don't do anything, King Ping is also the crown prince, and he will be the son of heaven in the future, even if the queen recovers her health, then in this inner palace, it is just an empty name, in fact, you are not the most expensive?" The chamberlain hurriedly smiled again to soothe.

That's nature, but...

"If King Ping doesn't set up a prince for a day, this palace will not be steady." The concubine said, holding her hands and looking out the door.

What Master Gao said is right, Niangniang is in a heart disorder.

"Tell the people outside, this palace, I don't want to see the king of Jin'an return to Beijing again." The concubine said slowly, "This palace no longer wants to hear the good news of the King of Jin'an. ”

She accentuated her tone on good words.

Such a terrifying remark and its meaning did not surprise the chamberlain, he was only a little hesitant and suspicious.

"Niangniang, isn't it too rushed, why don't you take your time......," he whispered.

"Slow, slow! It's been ten years slow, isn't that enough? The concubine raised her eyebrows and gritted her teeth and said.

The chamberlain didn't dare to say much, and was busy responding.

"This palace tells you, and this palace also knows what you are thinking, you are all thinking about it and wanting to be safe, but there are some things in this world that cannot be fully considered, and if you miss one step, you will miss it step by step." The concubine said slowly, "Do you think that the King of Jin'an County is not worth mentioning, and it is easy to pinch him to death?" ”

"The slaves don't dare." The waiter hurriedly bowed his head and said.

The concubine snorted.

"How dare you." She said, "But you don't think about it, it's been ten years, twice or three times, but it's always so happened to miss your hand, the food was cured by the famous Imperial Doctor Li, and the hunting came to King Ping halfway and couldn't start, it was easy to get out of the palace, the road was convenient, but I met a group of overnight sleepers, and they worked together to kill the wolf....his life was too good and too hard, right?" ”

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at the chamberlain.

"His life is too good and too hard, getting better and harder, trying to pinch him to death, I'm afraid it's not so easy, and it's not as simple as you think."

The chamberlain nodded, and solemnly replied.

"The mother is very worried." He said, "The slave and maid will do it immediately." ”

There was another pause.

"And the prince's business, there is no room for delay. The slave and maid went to ask the adults. ”

The concubine nodded.

"It's not Hongu Rush. It's you who are too underestimated. She said.

The chamberlain nodded yes.

"I'm going to see the queen." The concubine said. "Such a big good thing, how can this palace not congratulate."

The chamberlain was busy calling for people to change their clothes.

Seeing that the concubine was surrounded by the palace maids and attendants, the chamberlain stood up straight and shook his head.

It's a bit weird, though.

Is there any connection between this small faux pas of the King of Jin'an and the queen's sudden improvement?

The thought flashed, and the chamberlain shook his head and smiled.

What's the connection? And even if there is a connection, what can it be? No matter how good the queen is, she is only a queen, and the king of the county will please the emperor and the queen mother, and no matter how much credit she gets, she is only the king of the county.

In addition to adding more jealousy to yourself, in addition to making others more intolerable, it is really no good at all.

It is about as the crown prince gets closer and closer, desperately trying to gain a little favor in front of the emperor, so as to provide more security for the future.

So it seems. It's really like a grasshopper after autumn and a return to the light.

The chamberlain smiled and walked with his feet raised.

And at this time, it was not night, and there were bursts of laughter in the Desheng Building.

In the luxurious first-class box, seven or eight people are squeezed around. Everyone sat with official prostitutes in front of them, and the most eye-catching of them was naturally the little lady Zhu beside Cheng Shilang.

Zhu Xiaoniang's sideburns were loose, only a hosta was inserted, and her face was also lightly makeup, as if she didn't have time to put on makeup and hurried over.

"Little lady Zhu is in a hurry to see Shiro, and she can't even care about dressing up." The officials next to him quipped.

Zhu Xiaoniang covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes were smart, and her eyes could hook her soul, but her eyes were always glued to Cheng Shilang, which made the people in the house envious and sigh.

"I thought that the official wouldn't go out if he was injured, the slave family has been drowsy, lazy and boring, the official came too suddenly, the slave family is really..."Zhu Xiaoniang said with a little disgust, while gently shaking Cheng Shilang's arm, while raising her hand to half-hide her face, "The slave family is really embarrassed, Shiro let me go and make up again." ”

The room erupted in laughter again.

In fact, few people will believe this kind of words, where will these official prostitutes come to meet customers without dressing up, it is just that the visitors choose to dress up.

But knowing what about her playing, everyone came here to enjoy the official prostitutes' efforts to make plays for themselves to please her, so knowing and knowing is a joy in the world.

Compared with the laughter and laughter in Desheng Building, the faces of the high-ranking officials who followed King Ping back to King Ping's Mansion have been gloomy, although there are also singing and dancing girls in front of them.

"Your Highness, didn't my father say that you wouldn't be allowed to raise a kabuhime?" The senior official said slightly.

Before King Ping could speak, the head of the palace on the side was busy giving salutes.

"Little officials, this is not a hoard, it is to specially prepare songs and dances for the Queen Mother's birthday, Your Royal Highness is clean and self-conscious, and the slaves and maids do not dare to act recklessly." He said.

"Okay, how can this king have this thought, this king can't read yet." King Ping said impatiently, "Don't be like your father, treat this king as a mediocre and easily confused person. ”

Gao Xiaoguan hurriedly smiled and replied.

"His Royal Highness has studied too hard, and the adults in the court have said that if His Royal Highness participates in the imperial examination this time, he will definitely be able to enter the top ten." He laughed.

This is King Ping's favorite words, and his face is much better when he hears it.

"This king did do those questions, and that's all." He said.

The high-ranking official immediately raised the wine bowl.

"A small Jingjin Shijiu." He said.

King Ping was amused and snorted.

"It's a pity that it's not the Jinshi wine of the Immortal Residence." He laughed along.

At the mention of the Immortal Residence, the smile of the high-ranking official froze.

"Immortal Residence." He gritted his teeth and said, drinking the wine down, "It's a god who lives, and it can really deceive people." ”

The immortal residence belongs to the Cheng family, and the Cheng family's recent affairs with high-ranking officials, King Ping naturally knows about it.

"That Cheng Niangzi's hand is really long." He said lightly, "Even the king of Jin'an County treats her as a guest, and also takes care of King Qing, Qingwang's mansion swaggers and enters at will, and the queen mother's waiters don't dare to ask more, and if she asks, she will be reprimanded." ”

When the senior official heard this, he seemed to be unable to bear his anger anymore, and put the wine bowl heavily on several cases.

"Your Highness, this is because the Heavenly Family is too indulgent to her." He said, "A little woman is about to become a god, maybe it won't be long before she will be invited by the emperor into the palace to ask for alchemy." ”

This woman is close to the king of Jin'an County, and it is said that she can cure the fool of King Qing, if she is really looked at by the emperor again, and obeys her words, it is enough for a king of Jin'an to block himself in front of the emperor everywhere, and then a fairy lady, then what good life do you have!

King Ping frowned, unable to hide his disgust.

"A little girl, no one can help her?"

The high-ranking officials were still indignant.

A little woman...

King Ping looked up at the tall and junior officials and suddenly smiled.

"Why not?" He said, "A little girl, too, has her father and husband as the sky, so just find a husband for her to take care of." ”

Husband?

The high junior official was stunned for a moment and looked up at King Ping.

"Who would dare to marry her? The Queen Mother is not—" he said with a frown.

King Ping looked at the high and junior officials for a moment.

"Others don't dare, petty officials, don't you dare?" He said with an eyebrow raised. (To be continued......)
