In a blink of an eye, it was the first day of the sixth month, and the palace issued a decree of Jinyi, along with a complete set of princess costumes. On the third day of the new year, he had to enter the palace to ask the queen for thanks.

Every time she wants to go to see the queen, Jin Yi is always a little uneasy. Sima Yulou comforted her and said, "I'll go with you." After a pause, he smiled and whispered: "Don't worry, I'm afraid the queen will be very busy that day, and I may not have time to see you." ”

Jin Yi looked at him suspiciously, although he could accompany him into the palace, it was inconvenient for him to go to the harem, and after hearing his words, he knew that he must have made arrangements.

Sima Yulou said meaningfully: "The prince's nurse should also enter the palace that day, and you should see how the queen will deal with this matter." ”

Jin Yi thought about it for a while, and then understood, "Does the queen know about Ma Canli?" ”

"I don't know yet, but I'll know when the time comes. The queen has always been most concerned about the crown prince, and this time she must be greatly annoyed. ”

"Do you have someone by the Queen's side?" Jin Yi asked, otherwise how could he have mastered the time so accurately.

Seeing that she was so keen, Sima Yulou was silent for a moment, and explained honestly: "It's Mei Hua next to the queen." ”

Jin Yi was taken aback, it was the aunt in charge of Fengluan Palace, and she was the first person next to the queen, so she heard him say again: "This person can't be used at will, this time it's just for her to spread the matter of Ma Can's gift medicine and the prince's residence in the Xishan Courtyard to the queen's ears, even if the queen finds out that the source is from her, she will not suspect that she has two hearts, but will think that she is loyal." ”

Jin Yi glanced at him and said softly, "I didn't think of asking her about the queen,...... I'm just curious how you could buy off the people around the queen. ”

Sima Yulou was silent for a long time and said, "My mother told me a few days ago, you can use her if necessary." My mother was a little vague at the time, so I took advantage of this incident to give it a try. ”

The cronies around the queen turned out to be the concubine's person, Jin Yi felt strange when she heard it, and asked tentatively, "Mother,...... Is it also at odds with the queen? Yunhui doesn't like the queen, is it because of her mother? ”

In fact, since Jin Yi first saw the concubine, she had already guessed something, and then thought that Yun Hui probably didn't like the queen because of the concubine, and saw that Sima Yulou was silent, so he comforted him again: "Discord between concubines is the most common, presumably my mother and the queen had some festivals when they were young." ”

But even Jinyi herself is a little silent, most of the ordinary concubines will look at each other because they live in one place, and then the quarrel has friction, if it is far away, as long as it does not involve interests, it is easier to maintain friendship if it is not often seen, which is why people often say "far fragrant and smelly".

The princes all opened their mansions early to live alone, and the old prince and the emperor had a deep relationship at the beginning, and the two of them did not live together, nor did they have a conflict of interest, how could they be discordant?

Jin Yi didn't think about it any further, and such speculation and talking about the elders behind her back were arrogance, so she changed the topic and said: "This time Ma Canli is going to be in trouble, I don't know if it will implicate Qin Jinxiu." ”

Sima Yulou was still pondering, but when she heard this, she came back to her senses, stroked her hair, and said indifferently: "You are still too soft-hearted, I guess this time the queen will make a big move, you will know when you see it." ”

Jin Yi was stunned: "This matter is related to the reputation of the prince, and the queen will not dare to let the emperor know that the prince is absurd." Besides, the Ma family is also a big family, although she is the queen, she can't dispose of it at will. Speaking of this, she lowered her head and thought for a while, "It's not difficult to instruct Huan Ting to do it, but ......"

Sima Yulou intercepted her words, "The Huan family has known about this for a long time, do you think the queen is afraid of Huan Ting's opinion of the prince?" In fact, this kind of thing is not a big deal in the eyes of men, the queen has been kept in the dark before, but it may be Huan Ting's means. ”

Jin Yi stopped talking, but she was still thinking in her heart, she really didn't know anything about the aunt in the palace, she was not born when she got married, and later, it seemed that Yekang was a little obscure about this princess who married Huajing, and no one talked about her.

The first two times I saw her, I didn't say a few words, but I felt that the queen was not too close to herself, a niece who also had Yekang blood. Those two meetings, like this one, were summoned to the palace by the emperor, who never summoned herself in person, although the queen claimed to be her aunt.

Jin Yi naturally didn't want to see her frequently, but it was a little strange, didn't the queen feel a little homesick?

The Empress learned about her on the evening of the second day of the Lunar New Year, when she was in the highest building of the Imperial Palace, the Xinghui Pavilion.

The five-storey building is a five-storey building with green tiles and vermilion eaves that shine in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the carved jade buildings are breathtakingly gorgeous.

This is the library of the Great Inner Library, the collection of books accumulated in the past dynasties is not less than 10,000 volumes, among which there are many unique books sent by the emperor to collect from various places, and the shelves are ten thousand shafts, and the large and small bookshelves in the Xinghui Pavilion are piled up.

The queen did not like to socialize with her relatives and chat, and rarely played with the piano, chess, flowers and plants, etc., every day when the emperor was busy with government affairs in the previous dynasty, she would read books here, so as to pass the long days in the palace.

She was dressed in a pink brocade engraved gold luan phoenix palace dress, and the colorful golden palace silk revealed her waist in her hand, only from her figure, she could not tell that she was over thirty years old, and her face was still delicate, her complexion was like the finest mutton fat white jade, revealing a crystal luster, only the bright eyes like amethyst, with a touch of condensation that could penetrate the world.

On the walnut-inlaid table in front of the queen lay an old book, the yellowed pages of which were a little broken, but she read them attentively.

The Xinghui Pavilion has always been quiet, Mei Hua, the palace maid who was accompanying her, gently put the tea cup aside, the queen came back from her contemplation, raised her eyes and smiled at her gently, took a sip.

Mei Hua took the opportunity to remind her: "Niangniang, the emperor is coming back soon, should we go back to the palace first?" ”

The Queen's magnetic voice let out a lazy "um", "Put the book back." ”

Mei Hua agreed, carefully sorted out the books, and walked to the second floor.

The queen sat quietly at the table for a while, her beautiful face looked lonely, her eyes fell on the carved jade window lattice, it seemed hollow, in front of people, she was a collection of thousands of favors, everyone respected and looked up to the queen, but the queen was so empty.

Outside the window, there were whispers from two palace maids: "I just went to the Inner Servant's Mansion, and I heard someone say that the other courtyard in Xishan is going to be withdrawn, and everyone inside will be sent out......"

"Your Highness hasn't been there for a few months, since that Young Master Ma ......" (To be continued.) )
