"Mother, the slave has something to ask." Back in Guanju Palace, it was already late at night, and as soon as he entered the dormitory, Zizhang knelt down.

"If you have something to say, you might as well say it." Chu Xiangwan has always valued Zizhang, and after getting along with each other for more than a year after entering the palace, she can see that Zizhang is a trustworthy person.

"Please forgive the slave and maid for daring to ask, why did the maid take the slave to the Cihe Palace tonight?" Zizhang was puzzled, Chu Xiangwan's closest person should be Qian'er, but she didn't reveal anything to Qian'er.

"Zizhang, how long have you been following me?" Chu Xiangwan did not directly answer Zizhang's question.

"It's been more than a year."

"What do you think of Hongu's personality?"

"Slaves and maids dare not judge their masters."

"But it doesn't hurt for you to say it."

"Not to mention temperament, Niangniang's appearance is first-class in the palace, the first time the slave saw Niangniang, she felt that Niangniang was like a person walking down from the painting, and any word to describe Niangniang's beauty is a blasphemy against Niangniang. As for temperament, Niangniang is gentle and kind-hearted, and the slave maid can be sent to serve Niangniang, and I have always felt that I am very lucky. But ・・・・・・" Zizhang hesitated and didn't say any more.

"But this palace is too soft-hearted, so it will be framed repeatedly, right?" Chu Xiangwan took over the conversation.

"The slave should be damned, the mother is kind-hearted, but in this harem, being too kind will become a drag, and the emperor's affection for the mother is as deep as the sea, and the resentment of the people in the harem towards the mother is naturally intensifying."

"What a purple chapter, what a delicate girl!" Chu Xiangwan praised that this girl didn't know what she was like, but she still saw things very clearly. Chu Xiangwan continued, "Just now in Cihe Palace, although you were waiting outside the palace, you heard what the Queen Mother said, right?" ”

"Yes, it's just that the slave doesn't understand, you are already the queen, there is something that the emperor can't solve, why do you want to promise the queen mother to leave the palace?"

"I can't say anything about this, but I want to ask you one thing, Qian'er grew up with me since she was a child, she is innocent and lively, and she doesn't have any city mansion, so I will take you to Cihe Palace, you are delicate and calm, after I leave, you have to help me take good care of the little prince and Qian'er, they are the only concern I have in the palace."

"Mother, do you really want to leave?"

"This is the only way to keep the little prince safe."

"But if you leave alone, how will you live in the future? You didn't even ask where the Queen Mother wanted to send you? ”

"It's the same everywhere. No matter where I am, I will pray to God to bless my Kai'er with a safe life. ”

"Where is the Zuo Xiang?"

"Don't say anything, the less Daddy gets involved in the affairs of the palace, the better. After a few years, my father will retire from the dynasty and resign, and you will find a way to tell him about me. ”

"Yes, slave and maid obey." Speaking of which, Zizhang's eyes were already moist.

"Okay, I'll leave the day after tomorrow, and you and Qian'er will accompany the little prince to Li Chongyuan's Yutang Palace."

"Niangniang, do you need a slave to bring the little prince over?"

"No, I don't need it for these two days, I'm afraid I'll be reluctant." Chu Xiangwan stared at the candle flame, the flickering light made her eyes blur, but she didn't know if it was the candle flame or the tears overflowing her eyes at the moment.

After returning from Cihe Palace last night, Chu Xiangwan talked to Zizhang for a long time, and she kept her eyes open until dawn all night. When she got up in the morning, Qian'er came in to freshen up for her, and she was also startled, when she put on Chu Xiangwan's shoes, she looked up and saw Chu Xiangwan's eyes were dark, so she blurted out and asked, "Miss, didn't you sleep well last night?" Why are you so emaciated? ”

"It's okay, you don't have to worry, it's just that I was disturbed by the sound of cicadas outside for a night, so I didn't sleep well." Chu waved his hand to the evening, got up and walked to the dresser.

After breakfast, the head of the Internal Affairs Office came to ask for a meeting, saying that the dress canonized by the queen was ready, and asked the queen to try it to see if it fits.

Just as he was about to change his clothes, Huangfu Jingwen arrived. As soon as he got off the court, he went straight to Guan Ju Palace. He held Chu Xiangwan's hand and said, "Xiangwan, try this dress quickly." ”

"Niangniang doesn't know, this dress is the emperor asked the Internal Affairs Office to pick the best thirty embroidery girls day and night, embroidered for 15 days to complete, the phoenix pattern and peony pattern on it was drawn by the emperor himself, and then handed over to the Internal Affairs Office to embroider on the dress according to the appearance." Ma Hui explained on the side.

"The emperor has worked hard, how can the concubine make the emperor bothered so much." Chu Xiangwan looked at Huangfu Jingwen's appearance, and his heart was full of unbearability and guilt.

"Don't say more, change your clothes and show me." Huangfu Jingwen was very happy.

The moment Chu Xiangwan came out after changing into the queen's clothes, everyone present was shocked. I have never seen such a gorgeous and brilliant dress, and I have never seen such a dignified and beautiful queen, all silk is woven on the red satin gold, purple, black, blue, white colorful Zhai bird pattern, the edging is embroidered with Suzhou embroidery and Hunan embroidery traditional stitch method 22 dragon and phoenix patterns, the skirt is long and dragged to the ground, the waist is restrained by the cloud belt, and the cloud belt is fluttering between the actions, and the style is graceful. The phoenix eyes are charming, but they are crystal clear, a green silk comb into a cloud bun, the side is inserted with a tired silk inlaid treasure title beads golden phoenix hairpin and the previous emperor Fu Jingwen gave her a bat pattern inlaid glass beads trembling branch gold step, after the bun wears a Ruyi cloud pattern inlaid carved jade ornament, the hair is embellished with several pearls the size of the little finger, the lining of the human face is like a hibiscus, beautiful and graceful.

"Miss, you are really beautiful in this queen's dress!" Qian'er praised from the bottom of her heart.

"Xiang Wan," Huangfu Jingwen took Chu Xiangwan's hand, stood in front of the bronze mirror with her, looked at them in the mirror, and whispered in her ear, "I have finally waited for this day." ”

Chu Xiangwan looked at herself and Huangfu Jingwen in the mirror, and felt that everything was so unreal, she knew in her heart that this phoenix robe was worn for the first time and the last time she wore it today, and such a grand and grand post-sealing ceremony would never come. The reason why the Queen Mother decided to send her away before the Queen's Ceremony was to be able to reformulate the queen's candidate after she left, so that the Empress Jingwen would not have a statement and let the throne remain vacant.

"Your Majesty, the concubines don't care if they can become queens, as long as the emperor and Kai'er are healthy and safe, the concubines will rest assured. ・・・・・・ future" Chu Xiangwan's throat was a little tight, she covered up her cough, and continued, "In the future, the emperor will take good care of himself, drinking will hurt his body, you promised your concubines that you will not drink too much again, and you will take good care of your body." ”

"In the future, with the queen watching with me, of course I don't dare to take care of myself anymore." Huangfu Jingwen hugged Chu Xiangwan from behind, he put his chin on Chu Xiangwan's shoulder, looking at the two people snuggling up to each other in the bronze mirror, he felt happiness that he had never felt before.

"Your Majesty, promise me to take good care of yourself and Kai'er." Chu Xiangwan turned around and looked at Huangfu Jingwen's eyes very seriously.

"What's wrong with you today, you talk weirdly, and your face is not good." Huangfu Jingwen sensed that something was wrong.

"There's nothing going on, it's just that the day after tomorrow is the queen ceremony, and the concubine feels a little nervous, so she nagged the emperor a few more words."

"Okay, I am by your side in everything, and the days to come will be long, and I will have a lifetime to listen to your nagging." Huangfu Jingwen gently stroked Chu Xiangwan's cheek and comforted her.
