At night, Gonggong Cui of the Jingshi room came to ask the emperor to turn over the sign with a tray, and Emperor Jing Xiao glanced at the tray, and saw the queen in the first place at first sight, and suddenly had no interest. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info, the pink beauties in the palace, now seem to him to be ruthless amulets, and he is afraid that he will not be blessed.

Zhou Ningfu saw that the emperor just glanced at him, so he lowered his head and continued to look at the excerpt, knowing that the emperor had no intention of harem recently, so he waved his hand at Gonggong Cui and signaled him to go down first.

After Zhou Ningfu waited for the emperor to fall asleep, he walked out of the Qianqing Palace, and Gonggong Cui, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly greeted him, and asked with a bitter face, "Manager Zhou, you can call me a few words, why doesn't the emperor go to the harem recently, and the queen mother has passed me on for questioning." ”

Zhou Ningfu saw that Father-in-law Cui was still not good when he went back and forth, and he was all a slave in the palace, so it was inevitable that he would have the mood of a rabbit and a dead dog, and sighed, "It's not easy for you, it's just that there is a lot of turmoil today, and the emperor is really busy with official business, so it's good to wait for these days." ”

Grandpa Cui also sighed, "Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Zhou, alas! That's all it can be now. ”

Both of them knew that the turmoil that Zhou Ningfu said was a matter of contention between the Zhong and Qin families, but they didn't say it clearly, they had been in the palace for many years, and they were in high positions, how could they not understand the truth that the disaster came from the mouth?

Early the next morning, Emperor Jing Xiao summoned Ge Rongying to ask, "Ge Aiqing, how is the investigation of the matter I handed over to you?" ”

In the past two days, the entire Dali Temple has been busy with people turning over on their backs, and finally let him find out something, listening to the emperor's words, Ge Rongying pondered for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, calla lilies are already banned in my Great Xia, so the calla lilies mentioned by this palace maid must be from a foreign country." Chen focused on checking the shops of those Hu people, and found that one of them had really bought a batch of calla lilies six years ago. Later, when the shop heard that the sale of calla lilies was forbidden in Great Xia, he destroyed those calla lilies, and before that, he had only sold one copy. The minister checked the account books of their family six years ago and found that there was a second-class maid in the courtyard of the eldest daughter of the king of the Ministry of Rites, King Ishikawa, who bought this calla lily. She and Concubine Zhong's Bao Comb are fellow villagers, and they have received the favor of Bao Comb before entering the palace. ”

At this point, it is already clear at a glance, and those who are waiting to see the jokes of Dali Siqing are slapped in the face. The emperor not only did not punish him, but also gave him a thousand taels of silver, and a python robe, a thousand taels of silver is nothing to look at, and the python robe is a great glory. Generally, only those who have made great contributions will be given one by the emperor.

At the same time, the emperor also issued an order to confiscate the queen's phoenix seal and be grounded for six months. Concubine Zhong was demoted by one level and demoted to Concubine Zhong.

In Jingren Palace, the queen was already extremely disappointed in Emperor Jingxiao, and she was silent and did not resist, handed over the phoenix seal to Zhou Ningfu, who came to deliver the decree, and closed the palace door by herself. What about confiscating the phoenix seal, what about being grounded, as long as she is the queen for one day, the entire harem will not dare to snub her. On the contrary, it is Concubine Zhong, hehe, I'm afraid it will be difficult to climb to the concubine position.

Qiu He stood tremblingly on one side, seeing that the queen mother sitting on the stool wanted to get up, she hurriedly reached out to help, and the queen took it up, "Go to the study, this palace wants to practice calligraphy." ”

Qiu He didn't understand why the queen mother was confiscated and grounded, why didn't she look too sad? She doesn't know, people's psychology, as long as she looks at someone worse than her, what else can't she bear. Besides, it is possible for the emperor to abolish the imperial concubine and some other things, but now it is just a grounding, and the emperor still wants to use their Qin family. As long as the Qin family is here, the phoenix seal will still be handed over to him sooner or later.

All this is just the queen's own assumption, since ancient times, the emperor is best at checks and balances, and keeping the Qin family is just for them to continue to fight with the Zhong family.

In Yushu Palace, Concubine Zhong received the holy decree, and immediately softened, but the treasure comb on the side quickly helped her.

Concubine Zhong held Bao Comb's arm tightly with one hand, and shouted at Zhou Ningfu with all her might, "This is impossible!" This palace has been wronged, and this palace wants to see the emperor! ”

When Concubine Zhong was favored, she gave Zhou Ningfu a look, and at this time, Zhou Ningfu looked at her like this, and cleared her throat and added fuel to the fire, "Concubine Zhong, no, it should be called Concubine Zhong now, the emperor is afraid that he will not have time to see you at this time, and you know whether you have been wronged or not." Don't toss anymore, otherwise, be careful that you can't even keep the concubine position. ”

glanced at the sluggish Zhong Concubine, smiled sarcastically, raised her feet and walked out of Yushu Palace, and Zhong Concubine's eyes fell down behind her, and there was chaos in Yushu Palace.

At dusk, Concubine Zhong woke up, and the holy decree on the table reminded her that everything that happened today was true. How can it be found out? When she bought calla lilies back then, she was still careful not to use the people in the palace, what went wrong?

Lying on the bed and thinking about it, I blame Concubine Li's slut! If she hadn't won the emperor's favor with her young beauty, she wouldn't have harmed her children on the spur of the moment. The child was seven years younger than her family, and he was not a threat at all. Now she understands that any favor is false, only her child ascends to the throne, she is the queen mother, who else dares to be presumptuous in front of her? !

Concubine Zhong's eyes slowly condensed from the initial trance and discrete, revealing a trace of undue ambition......
