......

The moon was still hanging in the west, and the carriages were already on the way to the palace. Although the feast only began in the evening, the courtiers wanted to go to the palace to meet the emperor to discuss government affairs, and the ladies were going to ask the queen mother to say goodbye, and they should have gone to the queen mother to say goodbye first, but the queen mother said that she was old, so she just summoned a few old ladies. After meeting the queen's mother, several concubines in high positions naturally wanted to summon their mother's family.

In the summer, the imperial garden is already violet, because of the birthday of the Queen Mother, the florists are even more desperate, just to ask which pot of flowers into the eyes of the nobles, so as to give themselves a future. A father-in-law in a dark red brocade robe walked around the winding corridor and came to Mrs. Zhong Cheng and saluted. "Slave Xiao Xizi greets Madame."

"Get up" Mrs. Zhong knew that this little Xizi was the chief eunuch in Concubine Zhong's palace, so she asked him again, "But what does Concubine Zhong have to say?" ”

Xiao Xizi hurriedly replied, "Concubine Zhong has not seen her mother's family for a long time, and I heard that you have entered the palace and invited you to go and see you." ”

Mrs. Zhong got up and saluted each other to the ladies who had just greeted her, said goodbye, and followed Xiao Xizi towards Concubine Zhong's Yushu Palace.

After entering the palace gate, when I saw Concubine Zhong, Mrs. Zhong bowed down, "Say hello to Concubine Zhong." ”

Concubine Zhong held the hand of the big maid's comb with one hand, and helped Mrs. Zhong with the other, "Sister-in-law, why are you polite, they are all your own family, how can you see it like this." ”

"Niangniang's status is noble, and this should be a lot of courtesy, lest someone use this as an excuse to embarrass Niangniang." Mrs. Zhong stood up and answered.

"Sister-in-law thinks about this palace like this, she can't go against your heart." With that, Mrs. Zhong bowed down again and bowed fully. Concubine Zhong pulled Mrs. Zhong to sit on the couch and instructed the palace maids to serve tea. Mrs. Zhong opened her mouth and said, "How is Niangniang lately?" ”

Concubine Zhong sighed, "Alas. ”

"Niangniang has been worried lately?" Mrs. Zhong thought that Concubine Zhong must have something to discuss when she invited her to Yushu Palace, but now she looked at it like this, and they were all grasshoppers tied to a rope on the left and right, one was prosperous, and the other was lost, so she asked.

Concubine Zhong glanced at Bao Comb, Bao Comb waved her hand at the palace maids who were serving, and the palace maids bent down and bent their knees, and retreated one after another. Bao Comb was the last to walk out of the door and stay at the door, if you want to live long in the palace, you must not only be careful that the wall has ears, but also know less.

"Sister-in-law, there are no outsiders here, I'll just say it directly, this fourth Song Zizhou is reading better and better, I see that the emperor is starting to pay attention to him, I'm afraid it's not good for us Ming'er!" Concubine Zhong said.

"Niangniang has to think about it as soon as possible, if the fourth prince really makes the emperor fall in love, it will be difficult." Mrs. Zhong said.

"I have a way, and I have to ask my brother and sister-in-law to help." Concubine Zhong picked up the tea bowl and flicked the tea leaves with the tea lid.

"Mother, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Concubine Zhong took a sip of tea, and then said: "The emperor is so interested in the queen mother's birthday banquet, if Song Zizhou's birthday gift goes wrong......"

Mrs. Zhong nodded in understanding......
