"Back to Your Highness, this mat is stuffed not with cotton wool, but with reed wool - so it doesn't show weight. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

King Zhao pretended to be puzzled, raised his eyebrows and said:

"Reeds?"

Before he finished speaking, King Zhao pretended to be angry and guessed:

"There must be some palace people who don't have long eyes cutting corners, how can the reed wool be compared with the cotton wool? The mother concubine is already weak, and with such a cushion made of inferior cotton wool, Hui'er, you dare to use it to prevaricate the mother concubine? ”

King Zhao's questioning tone was not harsh, but the coldness in his eyes was pressing, which made Hui'er's knees weak, and she immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy:

"Lord forgive me, the idea of making reeds as cushions was not made by slaves! Besides, this matter was approved by the mother's grace! Please also ask the prince to check clearly! ”

At this time, Hui'er couldn't care about Concubine Lan's warning, and only threw innocent and wronged eyes at Concubine Lan, hoping that Concubine Lan could open her mouth to explain a thing or two.

Concubine Lan glanced at Hui'er with a calm expression, and looked at King Zhao unhurriedly and spoke:

"Wang'er, it's true that the palace can't sleep well, and now the palace is cutting expenses, Hui'er and they brainstormed and came up with a way to use reed wadding as a cushion filling - saving expenses, it's not shabby, but it's excellent!"

Concubine Lan's loving eyes were mixed with a hint of luck, she thought that King Zhao knew some details about Qi Sheng's visit on the night of the palace banquet, and as soon as she entered Yi Lianxuan, she took the reed wool cushion and said something-

But listening to King Zhao's scolding of Hui'er, he was just afraid that the reeds would not be good for her body, so Concubine Lan was relieved a lot.

"Since the mother concubine doesn't feel wronged by herself, the son naturally doesn't dare to point the finger - besides: the mother mother knows how to save expenses is really dignified and decent, and it is not an exaggeration to be a model for the harem, how can the son be so ignorant?"

King Zhao followed Concubine Lan's words because he didn't want to be too deliberate, if Concubine Lan really had something to do with Qi Sheng, wouldn't it be embarrassing for Concubine Lan.

Therefore, King Zhao came here today, first, to visit his mother, and secondly, to see if Qi Sheng's departure had anything to do with Concubine Lan.

But King Zhao will not torture to extract a confession, as if he has to ask the reason, if Concubine Lan is silent, not only will he not be able to ask the strange, I am afraid that it will also affect the relationship between mother and son.

And the reason why King Zhao can ignore the cautious thoughts of the harem women, and dare not have a temptation in every word or deed, is because King Zhao thinks that he knows that Concubine Lan is not as deep as an ordinary palace woman.

If there is nothing to do, it is the best, if there is really anything, King Zhao will think about letting Concubine Lan slowly open her heart to him, what cannot be discussed between mother and son.

Seeing that King Zhao no longer paid attention to the cushion, Concubine Lan hurriedly smiled and instructed Hui'er to make a cup of ginseng tea for King Zhao. Hui'er was too busy to respond, so she slipped out of the smoke, as if King Zhao would eat it-

Hui'er's headlessness made Concubine Lan's deep eyes reveal a sense of anger - she naturally separated the other party, but Hui'er didn't understand her intentions, but was obviously tired.

King Zhao smiled, as if he didn't notice the panic in Hui'er's expression, Concubine Lan glanced at King Zhao quietly, and saw that the other party's face was light and light, so she exhaled softly.

"How is the concubine doing lately? The previous dynasty was busy with government affairs, and my father should have no time to ask in person, but he remembered you in his heart, and always asked his sons to come and see you! ”

King Zhao's filial piety and thoughtfulness formed a very strong contrast with Qi Sheng's rebellion and hatred, which made Concubine Lan stare at King Zhao's gentle and jade-like face at the same time, and involuntarily recalled Qi Sheng's anger and corruption that day-

These two were her sons who were ten months pregnant and gave birth - one was carefully cared for by her, and the other was cruelly abandoned by her; One is suave, the other is vicious; One is approachable, the other is vicious.

This very different difference - in the end, it was attributed to the endless love and companionship she gave to King Zhao, but it made Qi Sheng, who was exiled, suffer unknown hardships.

Thinking of this, Concubine Lan's paint-like black pupils became dim, and she forgot to answer King Zhao's cold and warm questions.

Concubine Lan's various things today are different from the past, which also has to make King Zhao suspicious, but seeing him raise his hand and shake it in front of Concubine Lan's eyes, he asked softly:

"Is the mother in poor health? How does it seem sluggish? ”

Concubine Lan suddenly came back to her senses, only to realize her gaffe, so she hurriedly shook her head:

"The prince knows the cold and the heat the most, and everything is fine in the palace - but you, now you are also the prince of Yushu Linfeng, you have to work hard for your father, but you should be careful of your body!"

King Zhao looked directly at Concubine Lan and looked at it for a moment before he said:

"The mother concubine can rest assured, she has been pampered by the mother concubine since she was a child, and she will definitely not treat herself badly! Erchen saw that his mother had recently lost a lot, and another day Erchen ordered someone to send some red ginseng, and the mother concubine asked her subordinates to stew with black chicken, this medicinal diet is the most nourishing! The mother promised her son to eat more! ”

Hearing this, Concubine Lan's eyes gradually reddened, and she raised her hand to stroke King Zhao's arm and said busily:

"Good, good! This palace promised the king! ”

King Zhao nodded with relief when he heard the voice, and at this time, when Hui'er entered the house with a tea cup, King Zhao deliberately asked:

"Mother, the day before yesterday - Erchen brought a recruit from the Brave Army to the banquet......"

Before the words were finished, only a "clang" sound, the tray in Hui'er's hand fell to the ground, and the precious American ginseng in the tea cup was sprinkled on the gold silk carpet, and the juice splashed everywhere.

Concubine Lan followed the sound and saw that it was Hui'er who was in a hurry, and couldn't help glaring at Hui'er, and King Zhao's eyes also wandered between the two, seeing that when the two looked at each other, one was ruthless and the other was timid, and King Zhao's eyes became obscure.

It's just that she dropped the tea, and she didn't see Concubine Lan showing such a fierce expression to anyone on weekdays, and the other party was still a close servant who had served her for many years, even if she accidentally wasted the ginseng tea, Concubine Lan shouldn't have reacted so much.

Hui'er stood in front of her in a daze, not daring to raise her head because she was glanced at by Concubine Lan, so she let the ground be a mess, this master and servant were indeed a little wrong today-Thinking so, King Zhao took the first step to break the strange silent atmosphere:

"Why are you so careless? Why don't you pick up quickly? The gold silk slippery edge blanket is a tribute from the Persian country, there is only one inside and outside the palace, don't be so sloppy next time! ”

"Yes!"

After King Zhao finished reprimanding, Hui'er hurriedly turned around and ran to the front porch to look for a broom and dustpan. After sending Hui'er away, King Zhao looked at Concubine Lan again and comforted:

"Don't feel distressed, concubine, it's just a blanket after all! If you meet a good one in the future, your sons will use it to honor you! ”

Concubine Lan nodded awkwardly, her eyes a little unnatural:

"It's still the king's best at making the palace happy!"

Now that he has found out that there is a strange existence, King Zhao has to pick up the previous topic and continue, who knows that he is about to open his mouth, but Concubine Lan is sick-

"Wang'er, the palace has a tight headache today, why don't you go back to the house first?" (To be continued.) )
