The trees in the yard grew taller, and the days became more and more idle, and in late autumn, it gradually became cold.

Since Concubine Zhen took charge of the palace, the concubines have gone to Yi'an Palace for a morning gathering.

Liu Yi and Shui Wu unfolded an orange cloud brocade dungeon skirt, and the embroidered flowers on the silk were embellished on the clothes, so splendid and gorgeous, even Nian Jin'an was full of praise.

"It's beautiful." Water mist said happily.

Liu Yi glanced at the mist: "This is made of the precious Yunjin, how many people can wear it in the palace, this year's new tribute Yunjin, the Jinge took months to make such a piece, and there is not even Zhen Niangniang who is in charge of the harem." He asked Fu Qizheng again, "Do you want to try it?" ”

Fu Qizheng turned his eyes to look at it, his eyes were instantly shocked, and he was faintly shocked by this gorgeous costume, so he couldn't help but approach and admire it carefully, and suddenly thought about it: "Today is to go to Yi'an Palace, it's not appropriate to wear this dress, put it away." He said to Nian Jin'an, "Seeing that it's going to be winter, my aunt will go and see what the eldest prince is missing." ”

"Yes." Nian Jin An responded.

In Yi'an Palace, Fu Qizheng walked into the hall, the concubines saluted, and Concubine Zhen got up to greet her: "My sister is here, sit down." ”

Fu Qizheng bowed his head, sat on the seat next to Concubine Zhen, glanced at the people in the hall, and smiled at He Youzhu, although Chen Xiying and Tong Shujin secretly disobeyed Concubine Zhen, they were never absent on the surface, Zhou Yang Er's family and Wang Ji were already their own people, so they naturally didn't dare to slack off, Su Jingyun and Shen Qiuci were once people who were dependent on Hua's family, but now they have no protection, but they also know the current affairs, Concubine Yun is always the latest, and everyone knows the reason.

After drinking half a cup of tea, I heard a rumor outside: "Concubine Yun Niangniang has arrived." ”

Coming in behind Concubine Yun was the Liang clan of Chenghui, and the two walked so close that it could be seen that the Liang clan had switched to Concubine Yun. Concubine Yun never greeted Concubine Zhen when she entered, and walked straight to the chair on the other side of Concubine Zhen and sat down, facing the arrogant Concubine Yun, although Concubine Zhen had a smile on her face, she disdained to compete with her in her heart.

"Are you all here?" Concubine Zhen asked Qiu Xi with a sideways look.

"Back to Niangniang, Lan Ronghua from Jingyi Palace is still missing." Tong Shujin said with a hint of mockery: "Lan Ronghua doesn't have the support of Concubine Aya, so he doesn't take Concubine Zhen in his eyes." Concubine Zhen turned her eyes slightly to look at Fu Qizheng and did not speak.

Fu Qizheng looked indifferent, took a sip of fragrant tea, dropped the teacup, and said in a calm tone: "Sister Zhen hasn't spoken yet, but the noble Tong can't hold her breath, isn't it that with the support of Concubine Shu, you think that Yi'an Palace has your share in talking?" ”

Tong Shujin said with heavy eyes: "The concubine doesn't dare." In just a few words, the words were full of unconvincing.

Concubine Yun then sneered: "Concubine Aya's temperament is really getting bigger and bigger, this is not Jingyi Palace, what kind of shelf is placed in the main position of the first palace, you can still wantonly punish the slaves in Jingyi Palace, here it is still the same as the main palace, more rules." ”

Concubine Zhen immediately said: "Sister Concubine Aya and this palace have always been indistinguishable from each other, and they can be the masters of this palace, not to mention that this palace is about to ask the emperor for a decree to let Sister Aya assist this palace in governing the six palaces, and the meaning of Sister Aya is the meaning of this palace." ”

Concubine Yun's face sank when she heard this, and at this time, Wen Yue slowly came in to bless her body: "See Niangniang." ”

Concubine Zhen said lightly: "Lan Ronghua is late, but what is the delay?" ”

"Hui Ying was a little unwell, and the concubine took care of her for a night, and she couldn't get out."

When Concubine Zhen saw her appearance, she was very haggard, if she had other words, she would not have understood, but she was taking care of the child, and as a mother, she could understand it, so she didn't ask anymore and called her to get up.

Wen Yue sat beside He Youzhu and sat with heavy eyes.

The people have arrived, and Concubine Zhen said: "In a few days, the emperor plans to go out of the palace to inspect the Yongan military camp, the emperor is not in the palace, and the sisters must be more cautious in their words and deeds, and do not provoke trouble to distract the emperor." ”

The concubines nodded in response, "Yes." ”

Concubine Zhen and the concubines exchanged a few words and then dispersed, and when they came out of Yi'an Palace, a little eunuch came to report: "Concubine Aya, Captain Fu and Prince Yu are recovering in Qianning Palace at the moment, and the emperor asked Niangniang to go to Qianning Palace." ”

When Fu Qizheng heard this, he happily went to Qianning Palace, and he was too slow to even take a step, and walked all the way, his pace was brisk, and a smile could not be hidden.

"It's been a long time since I've seen my mother so happy." "The master hasn't seen the emperor for a few days, how can he not be happy." Shui Wu and Liu Yi followed quickly and whispered.

As soon as he arrived outside the Qianning Palace, he saw Fu Qi and King Yu coming out of the palace.

"Ayafei Niangniang." The two of them walked and arched their hands.

Then King Yu said: "That king will go first, and you two brothers and sisters will talk slowly." ”

Fu Qizheng saw that Fu Qi was wearing a military uniform, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "My brother is wearing this, I almost can't recognize it." ”

"My sister is still my sister, whether you are a concubine or a concubine, my brother from afar can see it at a glance."

Fu Qizheng then sent Fu Qi to the palace gate, chatting slowly on the way. I didn't go far before I saw a man in an official uniform coming here with a few retinues.

Fu Qizheng was curious about who that person was, so Fu Qi said, "That's Lord Shangshu Xia of the Ministry of War." ”

His name is like thunder, but he has never seen him, Xia Mingxu stopped and saluted when he walked in front of Fu Qizheng: "Weichen see Concubine Aya." ”

"Lord Xia is exempt." Fu Qizheng said, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that those attendants were holding wooden plates, although there was a brocade cloth covering them, but from the gaps, he could vaguely see that what was being presented inside should be a newly cast talisman.

Xia Mingxu immediately said: "Weichen has something important to discuss with the emperor, so he will retire first." ”

Fu Qizheng nodded, and when Xia Mingxu left, looking at his background, he whispered to Fu Qi: "The person selected by the Queen Mother must not be shrewd." ”

Fu Qi smiled and said: "Actually, if you talk about the ability that Lord Xia has learned for decades as an official, it boils down to only four words. ”

Fu Qizheng looked at Fu Qi with interest.

Fu Qi said slowly: "Obey orders." ”

Fu Qizheng couldn't help laughing, isn't this exactly what the Queen Mother wants, turned around and moved on.

Fu Qi suddenly remembered: "By the way, here is a letter from Suzhou, about the last time you sent someone to Suzhou to investigate." As he spoke, he took out a letter and handed it to Fu Qizheng.

If he didn't mention Fu Qizheng, he almost forgot about it, so he took it apart and looked at it while walking, frowning and stopping.

Seeing this, Fu Qi asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I asked people to find out the cause of death of Lin Gongzi, the person Qiao Yanyi loved, and the letter said that it was rumored that he was killed by the rich young master who forcibly married Qiao Yanyi, but after a careful investigation, it was found out that Lin Gongzi was actually killed by Qiao Yanyi's stepmother Li's hired murderer, Li has been taken into custody by the government, she confessed that she was greedy for a lot of dowry from the rich young master, and she was bent on marrying Qiao Yanyi to the rich young master, but Qiao Yanyi and Lin Gongzi were in love, and in order to make Qiao Yanyi die, she killed Lin Gongzi." Fu Qizheng was shocked, "This matter was only found out a few months ago, Qiao Yanyi must not know, she must still think that Ling Shizi is the murderer." In this way, Qiao Yanyi entered the palace to seek revenge, so most of her acceptance of Ling Binwei was also pretended, what was her plan, Fu Qizheng couldn't help but be faintly worried.

couldn't wait to send Fu Qi out of the palace, Fu Qizheng turned back to Jingyi Palace halfway, pondering all the way.

"I entered the palace with my husband today, but I didn't expect to meet my father in front of the palace gate."

"Why did I only see my sister alone, but not Ling Shizi?"

"I just went to visit the queen's mother, but my husband didn't follow, my mother is really pitiful, and the palace is deserted."

Hearing the voice, Fu Qizheng raised his eyes and saw that it was Xia Luanxi and Xia Luanyi's sisters.

Xia Luanxi and Xia Luanyi also saw Fu Qizheng while talking.

The two then saluted and said, "I've seen Concubine Aya." ”

Fu Qizheng glanced at the two of them and said lightly: "No courtesy." Hearing that Ling Binwei was alone in the palace again, he knew that he should have met Qiao Yanyi again, and he was even more worried, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and didn't pay too much attention to the two of them and hurried back to the palace.

After returning to Jingyi Palace, Fu Qizheng did not enter the main hall, and went straight to Qiao Yanyi's room, Qiao Yanyi was really not in the room, Fu Qizheng sat down, and asked Liu Yidao: "Didn't you say that she was in the room every day?" ”

"Every day, except for ...... Except when Ling Shizi entered the palace. Liu Yizhi said.

Fu Qizheng was furious, slapped the table and reprimanded: "When the palace asked you if she was going out, you dared to hide it for her." ”

Liu Yi hurriedly knelt down: "The master is angry, it is Yan Yi who begged the slave and maid not to tell the master." ”

It didn't take long for Qiao Yanyi to come back and see that the room was full of maids and maids outside the door, and when she walked in, Fu Qizheng was sitting in it, with a cloudy face, Liu Yi knelt on the ground, Qiao Yanyi knew that Fu Qizheng was angry, so she slowly knelt down and kowtowed: "Niangniang." ”

"You stand down first." Fu Qizheng retired and served, and only Fu Qizheng and Qiao Yanyi were left in the room.

Fu Qizheng took out the letter and put it on the table, and said coldly: "Look at it yourself." ”

Qiao Yanyi got up, took the letter, and was already stunned, and said in a daze: "Why is this the case, why is it like this." ”

Fu Qizheng glanced at Qiao Yanyi, not surprised by her current appearance, as if she had expected it, and asked lightly: "You entered the palace to seek revenge?" ”

Qiao Yanyi clutched the letter in her hand, closed her eyes tightly, and nodded.

"Then why didn't you do it for a long time?"

"How can I deal with the Ling family?" Qiao Yanyi smiled bitterly, and suddenly looked flustered and said to himself, "He didn't kill Lin Lang, I blamed him by mistake, so didn't I hurt him." ”

Fu Qizheng muttered: "Fortunately, the mistake was not made, and it is not too late to regret it." ”

Qiao Yanyi shook his head: "No, it's late." With that, he opened the door and ran out.

Fu Qizheng hurriedly followed out, just in time for Nian Jin'an, who came back from outside.

"Niangniang, the palace gate is blocked, and the palace is under martial law." Nian Jinan said softly.

Fu Qizheng was shocked: "Something happened." ”

"It is said that the newly minted talisman was stolen, and the forbidden army is investigating it at the moment." Nian Jin'an said again, "This matter has a lot to do with it, why is the good talisman missing, it is still missing in the palace, the slave maid thinks that there must be something strange about this matter, we must be careful." ”

Thinking of Qiao Yanyi's confusion, he suddenly knew that Fu Qizheng looked solemn, and he was silent for a long time before he took a deep breath and said: "Stealing the talisman is a capital crime. ”

was about to go out to find Qiao Yanyi to find out, but saw him walking back in despair, muttering: "It's still late, I hurt him." ”

It didn't take long for the news of Ling Binwei being arrested for stealing the talisman to spread throughout the palace, and there was an uproar in the palace.

In the dormitory, Fu Qizheng and Qiao Yanyi talked behind closed doors.

Qiao Yanyi stood in front of Fu Qizheng and clarified the truth: "I just attracted the attention of the Queen Mother when I first entered the palace, the Queen Mother ordered someone to secretly check my origin, and knew everything, she said that she could help me take revenge and help me bring down the Ling family, I believed it, the Queen Mother asked me to stare at Niangniang, I knew that I would not dare to betray Niangniang by the grace of Niangniang, so I kept some irrelevant news perfunctory to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother mostly knew but did not blame, it was for other purposes to keep me. I have asked the Queen Mother many times when she can take revenge, and the Queen Mother only said that from the long term, I can see that she has not thought of helping me to take revenge at all, she is just using me, and I still have to rely on myself. ”

Fu Qizheng sat at the table, looked at Qiao Yan and said, "So you went from repulsion to pretending to approach Ling Shizi, and then gain his trust, what is the matter with the military talisman." ”

"A few days ago, the Queen Mother secretly summoned me to go, saying that Fu Gongzi would enter the palace today to restore his life, and then she would give me a piece of talisman, so that I could try to put the talisman on Fu Gongzi, if there is no chance, the next policy is to put it in the mother's bedroom."

Fu Qizheng was shocked, slowly stood up, supported the table with his hand for a long time, and raised his lips and sneered: "It turns out that today's game is actually aimed at my Fu family." ”
