The next morning, Queen Jingzhuang did not go directly to the Heart Cultivation Palace, but first sent someone to inquire about the situation over there. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The person who was ordered to leave quickly replied: "Back to the queen mother, Your Majesty did not go back to the Heart Cultivation Palace last night, but stayed at the imperial concubine's side. ”

There have long been rules in the palace that the emperor is not allowed to spend the night at the concubines, and the concubines are not allowed to spend the night in the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, which is to protect the emperor from having the energy to go to court the next day, and secondly, to prevent the behavior of having concubines assassinating the emperor at night.

This matter is generally supervised by the Jingshifang, and the queen also has the right to directly intervene and supervise.

For the sake of the emperor's dragon body, no matter how understanding Queen Jingzhuang is, she never allows any concubine to break this rule, so no one has dared to spend the night with the emperor since she became the queen.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the imperial concubine is doing this to provoke the queen.

Queen Jingzhuang was furious when she heard this, but her face remained calm, and she instructed another palace maid: "Quickly go and call Gonggong Shi of Jing/Shi/Fang." ”

When Gonggong Shi heard that the queen was looking for him, he was immediately frightened, but it was absolutely impossible not to go, so he went to see Queen Jingzhuang with his tail down.

The queen was angry, and when she saw Father-in-law Shi's head, she asked: "Father-in-law Shi, why didn't Your Majesty take the initiative to report it when you didn't stay overnight last night?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, the minions reminded them many times outside the door last night, but they ...... The minions didn't dare to really rush in...... The servant also thought that he would report this to you last night, and was afraid of disturbing your rest, so he thought that he would come back to report it after you had breakfast this morning. Father-in-law Shi said cautiously.

His father-in-law has the right to enter, but he doesn't know if this will annoy the emperor and the imperial concubine, after all, this situation is the first time he has encountered it, and he has no experience in dealing with it.

Queen Jingzhuang looked at Gonggong Shi who was kneeling on the ground tremblingly, and was silent for a long time.

Indeed, this cannot be blamed entirely on Father-in-law.

It's not a big deal if you look at it from a small point of view, but if you look at it from a big picture, it's related to the order of the harem. As a queen, if she doesn't take it seriously, it will be difficult for her to stand up in front of other concubines in the future, let alone convince the public.

And if she doesn't care now, these concubines will follow the imperial concubine's practice in the future, and then the queen/palace will be chaotic.

So she still has to bite the bullet in this matter.

But how?

Of course, she knew that this was the imperial concubine openly provoking her, to see if she dared to do anything to her.

If she punishes the imperial concubine, it will be equivalent to slapping the emperor, and the emperor will definitely be unhappy. But if she ignores it, the follow-up problems will be even more difficult.

Thinking of these, Queen Jingzhuang, who has always been calm, can't help but be a little irritable.

Worried about the safety of the prince in Sichuan, Queen Jingzhuang's face gradually showed sadness.

Liu, who has served Empress Jingzhuang for nearly ten years, saw her difficulties in his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

After Shi Gonggong retreated, Liu took a few steps forward and said: "Queen Mother, according to the slave's opinion, forget about this matter, I am afraid that your more serious words at this juncture will be unfavorable to you." ”

The Liu family is very clear - the crown prince is in Sichuan at the moment, and the return date is undecided, and the maiden family of Queen Jingzhuang, because the queen has clearly requested the emperor as early as when she was the princess, 'Don't give them an official promotion because of the concubines', so they are not very powerful, and they are far away in Guangxi, so there is no one around the queen at this time who can be clearly relied on.

In that case, it's better to take a step back.

"It's really nothing for this palace to allow her once, but if this palace takes this step back, she will go further, and what will this palace do at that time?" Empress Jingzhuang asked rhetorically.

Liu thought about it, and his mood became heavy.

After a while, Liu Shi said in a low voice: "Why don't you directly hand over the decision on this matter to Your Majesty, and let him handle it?" ”

Empress Jingzhuang shook her head and said, "Isn't this equivalent to directly slapping him in the face?" ”

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, the queen mother, don't worry about yourself getting sick." Liu said dissatisfied.

She spoke more straightforwardly, but Empress Jingzhuang appreciated her.

Empress Jingzhuang sighed again, stroked her forehead and said, "Then think about it again." ”

Liu was afraid that she would hurt her body by thinking too much, so he suggested that she go for a walk in Wanhuayuan.

Empress Jingzhuang nodded.

Located on the east side of the Imperial Palace, the Garden of Ten Thousand is a large and round shape, and thousands of flowers and plants are planted in it, hence the name 'Ten Thousand Gardens'. In this season, the flowers in the garden are in full bloom, which is a good time to enjoy the flowers, so many concubines come together every day.

Queen Jingzhuang was accompanied by a group of palace maids while walking among the flowers, and her mind was indeed a lot clearer, but her mood was still heavy.

There is something in the heart, even if the person is there, he still can't relax.

Empress Jingzhuang smiled bitterly.

Since I'm not in the mood, I'd better go back.

Empress Jingzhuang left Wanhuayuan.

After walking a short distance, I saw the imperial concubine coming this way.

Empress Jingzhuang's face turned cold.

The imperial concubine smiled and saluted Queen Jingzhuang like no one, and the queen nodded slightly as if she was almost invisible.

The two stood opposite each other, no more than three feet apart.

Although both of them had smiles on their faces, the palace maids around them felt an invisible gunsmoke.

Empress Jingzhuang looked at the charming face of the imperial concubine and said, "Sister Wanqing, as the imperial concubine, taking the lead in ignoring the rules of the harp/palace, how to explain it?" ”

The imperial concubine smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry for embarrassing my sister!" I didn't expect it to be like this, His Majesty was drunk at the time, and I was a little too drunk......"

The corners of the queen's mouth trembled slightly, but she still tried her best to hold back the anger in her heart, and said coldly: "The ugly words are ahead, if you still knowingly commit crimes in the future, this palace will act according to the rules and show no mercy." ”

After hearing this, the imperial concubine smiled lightly and said softly: "There is no problem with my sister's side, but if Your Majesty likes it...... What should I do if I become a sister? It's better for my sister to teach me now. The imperial concubine looked at the queen with a deep expression.

Queen Jingzhuang's face turned red and white when she heard this, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.

The imperial concubine smiled again: "Since my sister also finds it difficult to choose, it is not too late for my sister to think of the answer in the future and tell my sister." After saying that, he blessed Queen Jingzhuang, and walked away slowly with a smile.

That night, the emperor came to Kunyi Palace.

Empress Jingzhuang had already stripped off and lay down, and after learning the news of his arrival, she had to put on her clothes and get up to greet her.

Although the number of courtesies was exhausted, the emperor could see that she did not seem to be very happy.

Of course, the emperor also knew that she was because he was with the imperial concubine last night, so he leaned over and kissed her.

The queen turned her head away and lay back on the bed without a sound.

The emperor was not annoyed, he lay beside her with a smile and reached out to grab her waist.

Empress Jingzhuang pushed him away and got up and sat down on the chair in front of the bed.

The emperor was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, being angry is not good for your health." ”

Queen Jingzhuang said solemnly: "As the head of the Hou/Palace, the concubines can't ignore this matter, right?" The concubine is now in a dilemma, I don't know how to deal with it, Your Majesty is resourceful, and I hope to give you some advice. ”

The emperor hurriedly got up and said: "I won't be like this next time, forget it this time, don't take it too seriously, the concubines of the harry/palace will follow what they say, and after a long time, it will always be forgotten." ”

Empress Jingzhuang glared at him, not knowing how to respond.

Liu's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Your Majesty, the queen's mother, Concubine Guo Xian has broken the water1." ”

…………..

Note 1: Broken water is a precursor to the imminent birth of a child due to broken amniotic water.
