"Qizheng, don't think about it, eat something." Youzhu looked at Qizheng and said softly, his eyes signaled to Wangxue who was waiting behind Qizheng, Wangxue bowed slightly, stepped forward and picked up a piece of jade cake and put it in Qizheng's dishes.

Qi Zheng lowered his eyes and looked at the jade cake in the bowl, frowned slightly, and looked sideways at Forget Xue. Forget Xue owed slightly: "The master forgives the sin, the slave and maid thought that the master must be miserable in his heart at this time, it is better to eat something sweet, not to feel sweet, but also comfortable." ”

When Qi Zheng heard what Forget Xue said, she liked this girl more and more, smiled at her, and picked up the jade cake and put it in her mouth.

"Why don't you go to the sweet soup and taste it to the master." Qing Chu saw Qi Zheng's brows stretched slightly, and he said busily.

Qizheng shook his head lightly and said lightly: "No need, we will go back to the palace when this play is over." With that, he turned around and looked at the stage.

"Miaochun, go and bring bitter tea to this concubine, this concubine is really asking for hardship today." Xi Ying sneered.

Miaochun, the palace maid beside Xiying, was stunned, as if she was stumped by Xiying's instructions, Xiying scolded, and Miaochun hurriedly responded: "Yes." ”

"Slow." Shujin shouted Miao Chun, looked at Xi Ying, and raised the corners of his lips: "Xi Ying, people are sweet there, how can we swallow bitter water, it is better to eat some sweet fun." ”

Xi Ying glanced at Qi Zheng, and thought carefully about Shu Jin's words, before saying: "What Jin'er said is very true, Miaochun, go and bring some sweet soup to this concubine and Tong Xiaoyi." ”

Miao Chun received the order and withdrew.

Qi Zheng smiled bitterly in her heart, slowly stood up, and owed to Youzhu: "The concubine will retire first." With that, he led Wangxue and Qingchu to turn around and leave.

Youzhu nodded slightly, and then looked at Xi Ying and Shujin: "I have always disliked watching dramas, I always think it is too noisy, so I will go back to the palace first, you talk slowly." After saying that, he also got up and left, and walked a few steps quickly to catch up with Qizheng.

Qizheng looked at Youzhu with some surprise: "Why don't you sit for a while." ”

Youzhu smiled faintly and slowly spoke: "My father and I don't like to watch plays, and we are a little unaccustomed to it for a while, so it is better to kneel down to the emperor and the queen mother and go back to the palace to rest." ”

After the two walked to the main banquet table, Qizheng's eyes fell on the brocade box in Gonggong Li's hand, and his footsteps slowly stopped. Yuzhu looked at Qizheng sideways, followed her eyes, understood Qizheng's intentions, and asked softly, "Are you okay?" ”

Qi Zheng turned around, shook his head slowly, and walked towards the main banquet table again, and when he walked behind Li Gonggong, Qi Zheng stumbled under his feet, rushed forward, and hit Li Gonggong in front, and the brocade box in Li Gonggong's hand fell out. Wen Yue, who was sitting on the side, hurriedly got up and pounced on the brocade box to catch it, Qizheng and Wen Yue both fell heavily to the ground, Wen Yue caught the brocade box with both hands, and the palace maid on the side hurriedly helped Wen Yue up, and her elbow wiped out a bloody mark, Gonggong Li hurriedly took the piano in Wen Yue's hand and knelt in front of Emperor Yuan: "The slave should die." ”

Emperor Yuan clapped up, pointed the folding fan in his hand at the Qi Zheng who was leaning on the ground, and said angrily: "What's the matter with you, if such a precious qin is damaged in the slightest, I will definitely kill the people of your Fu family." After that, he looked at Qi Zheng angrily.

Qi Zheng raised his eyes and glanced at Emperor Yuan, tears burst out of his eyes, crossed his cheeks, fell to the ground, and sat on the ground, his head calm.

Emperor Yuan glanced at Gonggong Li, who was kneeling on the ground, and said lightly: "It's none of your business, get up." He walked to Wen Yue's side again, took Wen Yue's hand, looked at the injury on her hand, and said to the palace man on the side: "Pass the imperial doctor." ”

Wen Yue shook her head lightly, looked at Emperor Yuan, and smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, the concubine's injury is nothing, as long as Qin is fine, the concubine will be at ease." ”

Youzhu picked up the zither, and the hand of the zither also left a red blood mark.

"Did I get you up, so daring." Emperor Yuan glanced sideways slightly and said sharply.

Qi Zheng hurriedly knelt down again, completely forgetting the wound on his knee, and fell heavily to the ground, clenching his teeth.

"Your Majesty, according to the mourning family, forget about this matter, Fu Xiaoyi is also an unintentional mistake, since Qin is fine, Fu Xiaoyi's leg was injured in the morning, and now his hand is also injured, which can be regarded as a punishment, how about this matter be stopped." The Queen Mother spoke.

Emperor Yuan's anger did not subside, and his brows tightened: "Isn't it too cheap for her to forget it like this, Wen Shuyi was injured because of her, how can this matter be stopped." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she didn't speak, slowly got up and walked to Qizheng's side, picked up Qizheng who was kneeling on the ground, looked at the back of Emperor Yuan, and said: "If the emperor insists on disposing of Fu Xiaoyi, let's deal with it together with the mourning family." Emperor Yuan turned around suddenly: "Isn't the queen mother threatening her sons?" ”

"Your Majesty, my sister didn't mean it, the concubine desperately picked up the piano, it can be regarded as atoning for my sister's sins, I implore the emperor not to pursue this matter." Wen Yuefu said.

Emperor Yuan helped Wen Yue up, turned his eyes to look at the Queen Mother, didn't speak for a long time, glanced at Qi Zheng, exhaled a long breath, and said lightly: "I will forgive you again today, kneel down." ”

Qizheng and Youzhu owed slightly: "The concubine retired." With that, he slowly left. Emperor Yuan helped Wen Yue sit back at the table and continued to watch the play on the stage. Qizheng and Youzhu slowly walked down the steps, and a familiar figure came to meet her, she glanced at Qizheng and continued to walk towards the platform, Qizheng hurriedly lowered her head.

"To the Queen Mother, Brother Huang, please say goodbye."

"Jiaying, hurry up, is Jiayi's illness better?" Emperor Yuan asked.

Jiaying smiled: "Sister, she just accidentally fell into the water, and the imperial doctor also said that she was just infected with the wind cold, although she has been sick for a few days, but she is almost cured, and the imperial brother doesn't have to worry." ”

Qi Zheng's mind flashed the words that Emperor Yuan had just said, and he was worried, 'How could Jiayi be sick, could it be because he fell into the water that day?' Stopped, looked back at the platform, but met Emperor Yuan's cold gaze, Qizheng hurriedly turned around, and left Ciye Palace quickly with Youzhu.

"The mourning family is a little tired, Mi'er, help the mourning family back to the palace." The Queen Mother said lightly.

"Yes." Concubine Hui was a little reluctant, but under the orders of the Queen Mother, she had to help the Queen Mother back to the palace.

"Congratulations to the Queen Mother." Everyone saluted.

Concubine Hui helped the Queen Mother back to the dormitory, and as soon as she entered the dormitory, Concubine Hui complained: "Why didn't the Queen Mother let Mi'er stay there for a while, and finally saw the emperor, wouldn't it be a pity that the Queen Mother brought Mi'er back like this." ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand to the people waiting in the palace, and the palace people understood and retreated.

The Queen Mother walked to sit down, looked at Concubine Hui, and said lightly: "You saw the emperor, is the emperor willing to see you, just now I didn't see that the person who was in the limelight today is Wen Shuyi, not you, your temperament and mourning family still don't understand, leave you there, don't you want to overturn the vinegar jar." ”

Concubine Hui sat next to the Queen Mother: "Who made Mi'er just a concubine, she has called Yin Jiang and Hua Qingyu so breathless on weekdays, and now that the emperor has a new love, how can I not be angry." ”

The Queen Mother frowned and said: "You are not willing to be just a concubine, are you willing to watch those two concubines press on your head?" I can't stand it if you suffer a little loss in front of you, how can the mourning family let you sit on the chair in the Yihua Palace in the future. “

"Queen Mother, don't you want Mi'er to be the queen, why are you still talking to those new palace concubines today." Concubine Hui complained.

"The mourning family is helping you, the mourning family will not hesitate to offend the emperor to save Fu Qizheng, that is because the Fu family is high and powerful, Fu Qizheng alone can shake half of the court, and the other half, in the hands of the emperor, the mourning family can't move, and you can't move, only move the half in Fu Qizheng's hand." The Queen Mother said lightly.

Concubine Hui said curiously: "Could it be that the Queen Mother wants to use Fu Qizheng's family background to be Mi'er's backer." ”

The Queen Mother nodded: "Yes, although you are the niece and daughter of the mourning family, but in the matter of the future, the mourning family in this palace can intervene, but the court may not be able to intervene, if the scholars and prime ministers are all our people, this matter is much easier." ”

"But the emperor seems to be a little dissatisfied with the prime minister and the scholars, how can he listen to them, and besides, Fu Qizheng is also a concubine now, doesn't Fu Renxian want her to be the queen?" Concubine Hui wondered.

"The emperor is prejudiced against the prime minister and scholars, that is because the first emperor once had the idea of passing on Prince Yu, and Prince Yu is Fu Renxian's son-in-law, the emperor will naturally think that Fu Renxian is blowing the wind in his ears, and it is inevitable that he has prejudices."

"Since they have opposed the emperor's accession to the throne, why does the Queen Mother still want to win them over."

"If they really blow the wind in the ears of the first emperor, will the mourning family let the Fu family go, now that the emperor has sprinkled his anger on Fu Qizheng, he pities her, does she still have a chance to be the queen? Now it is still difficult to protect herself, and the mourning family knows that Concubine Hua Guifei has already won her over, but today's situation is obvious to everyone, and the only one who can save her is the mourning family, are you afraid that she will not be on our side? ”

"The Queen Mother is wise."

"Okay, don't play tricks, prepare some generous gifts for the new concubines tomorrow, it's an apology, today you scolded them, they will inevitably have complaints in their hearts, if anyone talks too much in front of the emperor, it will be unfavorable to you, take some rewards to plug their mouths, and you can also take the opportunity to win people's hearts."

"Yes, the Queen Mother is far-sighted, Mi'er listens to the Queen Mother in everything, and Mi'er will listen to the Queen Mother when she becomes the queen in the future, but Mi'er still has something unclear." Concubine Hui said.

"What?"

"Why did the Queen Mother leave Xia Luan in Ciye Palace, she was once taken in by the emperor, if the emperor came here to ask for an meeting, wouldn't there be one more person to stay by the emperor's side."

"The mourning family left this chess piece, which is naturally useful, this court is in place, and the new palace concubines are also in place, what about the concubines Yun? And your sister Wang Ji, they will also be your stumbling blocks. The mourning family will treat Xia Luan well, and promote her, and in the future, she will have some power in this palace, and then tell her who caused her to lose the election, what will happen to her? ”

"Does the Queen Mother know who killed her?"

"Although the mourning family doesn't know, but the mourning family said who harmed her, she will believe it, and then, you can naturally reap the benefits of the fisherman." The Queen Mother paused, looked at Concubine Hui with a happy face, and said, "However, your jealous temperament should be restrained, now you are a jealous woman, and you will be a resentful woman in the future......

Two days later, in the morning, Zhaoxuan Palace......

Qi Zheng sat in front of the bronze mirror, thinking about yesterday repeatedly, 'Although I was in a trance yesterday, it was not that I was careless, but I tripped over something, but after being helped up by the Queen Mother, I also looked around, and there were no stones or anything like that, what was going on?' ’

"Master, do you know, the emperor has favored Wen Shuyi for the past two nights, and just now he issued another decree, Wen Shuyi let Jin be a nobleman." Qing Chu combed the green silk of the zither and said with some displeasure.

Qizheng came back to her senses and looked at Qingchu in the bronze mirror: "What's the matter, the noble man is favored, we should be happy, at least she won't harm her concubine, and she is kind-hearted, the emperor needs such a heartless person around him." ”

"But the master is also a kind-hearted person, aren't the master and the noble man good sisters, why does the emperor favor her but alienate the master, the master has been in the palace for a few days, his legs have also been injured, and his hands have also been injured, but no one cares except the queen mother." Forget Xue complained.

Qizheng smiled slightly: "Okay, no one cares, but it's quiet, isn't it better." He turned his eyes to look out the window again, "The weather is good today, let's go out for a walk, the heat comes up in the afternoon, and we can't go out." ”

"Yes." Forget the snow and answer. After combing the Qi Zheng makeup, he went out of the palace with the Qi Zheng.

Walking to the Imperial Garden, the chirping of birds made Qizheng feel a lot calmer, lowered his eyebrows and walked slowly on the stone road, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Although there were some twists and turns yesterday, it was also safely passed, and it seems that in the future, I will still guard the empty Zhaoxuan Palace, and my heart is more steady." Slowly raised his eyes, but saw Xi Ying and Shujin standing in front of them talking and laughing, Qi Zheng hurriedly turned around to avoid.

"Xi Ying, you said, Wen Yue is a fox or some kind of drug, and she has only been promoted to a noble person in the palace for a few days."

Hearing this, Qi Zheng stopped, turned around, and walked towards the two.

"It's ridiculous that a girl from a poor country can pass the general election and return Shuyi, and now she is promoted to a nobleman." A sneer elicited a sneer

"What are you saying here, why don't you say it in front of the emperor." Qi Zheng walked up to the two of them and said sharply.

Shujin glanced at Qizheng, turned to the side, and said lightly: "What, are you unhappy about your good sister?" Your good sister is favored, but the emperor is cold to you, and now you are here to teach us, this is a human and a dog or a dog. "Wen Yue was born humble, far from us, maybe she is lucky in everyone's eyes, but ......." Xi Ying looked at the front, and hurriedly interrupted Qi Zheng's words: "Qi Zheng, what you said is not right, you are jealous of Wen Yue, we know, but you should not slander her like this, saying that she was born lowly, saying that she is not worthy of the emperor's favor, Wen Yue is your good sister, how can you say this about her." ”

Qi Zheng was confused by Xi Ying's words, she was obviously helping Wen Yue speak, could it be that Xi Ying didn't hear clearly, even if she didn't hear clearly, she wouldn't help Wen Yue to refute herself. When Qizheng came back to his senses, Xi Ying and Shujin had already blessed. Qi Zheng looked back, and met Emperor Yuan's cold and angry gaze again......
