On the fifteenth day of the first month of each month, it is the day when the royal family women and daughters regularly enter the palace to pay respects.

If there is anything outside the royal family that wants to enter the palace, she can also hand over a sign in advance and obtain the permission of Queen He to be summoned with the royal family on these two days of the month.

The first day of the seventh month is no exception.

Empress Dowager Qiu fell seriously ill last year, and she hurt her roots, and her body and spirit were getting worse day by day, and she became more and more greedy. She released her words early, telling the wives not to go to the Shouxi Palace to greet her.

The women gathered in Fengyu Palace, or gave some rare things, or told some interesting anecdotes, and tried their best to tout and please Queen He. Alone avoided topics related to marriage, lest Queen He would look at which of her own sons on a whim and point out to them the unruly Princess Lelin.

Queen He has been angry since returning to Beijing from Mount Tai, and her heart has become more and more depressed when she sees these women playing with those careful thoughts in front of her. The group ridiculed and violently, and hit the women with white faces and weak legs.

After sitting on pins and needles for more than half an hour, listening to her mouth spit out a sentence "Let's disperse here today", everyone was like being amnestied, and they couldn't wait to grow two more legs, so they left Fengyu Palace quickly.

But there is one exception, and that is the Duan family, the princess of Prince Yong.

This section is from a noble family, full of books, and is very low-key. There is never a shortage of courtesy, and he never shows off, no matter what time he is, he is a mediocre and unscrupulous appearance. Rao is a picky person like Queen He, and it is easy to find fault with her.

At this time, seeing that she deliberately fell behind, it was clear that she had something to say. I was surprised, "Yo, where did the sun come out today?" ”

"My nephew has something to report to the queen, and I ask the queen to step back." Duan's Fu Shen said.

"Do you have something to report to this palace? That's a rarity. Empress He knew that a person like her who did not come out easily, once in a while, there must be something important, so she waved her hand and sent the palace people away, leaving only a henchman named Biyun to serve from the side.

Duan didn't say anything, and took out a rectangular brocade box from his sleeve. Present with both hands.

Biyun stepped forward to take it. Handed over to Empress Ho.

Queen He opened the box and saw that there was a lame embroiderer purse inside, as well as a concentric knot with a jade ring of two hearts, and the handiwork was really not flattering. His brow furrowed. "What are you doing with this mess for Hongu?"

"The Queen's Mother. The purse is embroidered with letters. Duan reminded her with lowered eyes.

Queen He pinched the purse with two fingers and looked at it carefully, and sure enough, she saw two crooked small characters underneath: "Le ...... Forest?! ”

She read it softly, stunned. was shocked again, and then became furious, "Who eats the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, and dares to use the name of the princess?!" ”

His gaze swept sharply towards the Duan clan, "Where did you get this thing?" ”

Duan knelt down, "Queen Mother, please allow your nephew and daughter-in-law to be careful." ”

"Come on."

"Yes." The Duan clan had already prepared his rhetoric and said calmly, "A few days ago, the Holy Majesty decreed that the Ji'an Royal Mansion was rewarded, and the newly promoted Mrs. Zhongyong found that this box was mixed in when she counted the reward items.

Because the purse is embroidered with the word 'Lelin', and the patterns are used to express affection, it is related to the princess's reputation, so I dare not make a little noise. and lest someone take advantage of this thing to make trouble and tarnish the reputation of the princess, so he did not dare to hide it and not report it.

After thinking about it, he entrusted this thing to the prince, and asked the prince to take the opportunity to send souvenirs to his home, and took this box with him, and quietly sent it back to the capital, and then the nephew and daughter-in-law found an opportunity to present it to the queen.

With the wisdom of the queen's mother, she will be able to find out the source of this thing and cut off the root cause, so that the princess's reputation will not be stained. ”

After hearing this, Empress He's face became very ugly. She is not a fool, how could she not hear Duan's words full of flaws?

First of all, the items to be rewarded, whether large or small, are clearly listed on the reward list, and before being given, after being checked by a special person, they are packed and pasted one by one, and then sealed one by one. No one is allowed to break the seal until the reward is in the hands of the recipient.

How easy is it to hide something else in the middle?

Secondly, if someone really wants to use this kind of thing to frame Xiao Lelin, how can they use such a lame thing of embroidery and handwork, which makes people feel like "framed" at first glance?

Even if the person who planted the false accusation knew that Xiao Lelin was not a good woman and deliberately used something rough with needlework, then he should give this box to a man in the name of Xiao Lelin. Why did you silently hide it in the rewarded items and send it all the way to Jinan Mansion?

Moreover, this box, this jade ring, and the cloth used to sew the purse are all very valuable, and they are clearly things in the palace.

After returning to the capital, Xiao Lelin was like a different person, no longer playing tricks on low-ranking concubines with nothing to do, and no longer pestering her two brothers to help her get some strange things into the palace, but she suddenly became interested in female red embroidery, and sat in the house for a day.

Occasionally, when I go out, I only go to Qionglou. The top floor of the Qiong Tower is the farthest place that can be seen from the entire harem. According to Cirrus Cloud, Xiao Lelin often looked north in a daze without saying a word.

If you think about it all in the connection, what else is there not to understand?

She should have found out!

On the way back to Beijing, Xiao Lelin kept talking about Zhou Shu standing up to block arrows and sacrificing his life to save the driver, and asked his father when he would come to worship the sky again. At that time, she thought that the little girl had never seen such a thrilling scene, and she left a deep impression in her mind, and it was inevitable to talk about it more, so she didn't take it to heart.

Now that I think about it, the girl's cheeks were flushed and her eyes were bright when she mentioned Zhou Shu, and she clearly had affection for the kid who looked like a fox.

She has really lived in vain for more than 40 years, and she didn't even see her daughter's careful thoughts.

He closed his eyes, suppressed the surging anger in his heart, and looked at Duan Shi who was kneeling on the ground with a cold face, "Have you ever mentioned it to others at this time?" ”

"Back to the queen's mother, my nephew and daughter-in-law have never mentioned it to anyone." Duan replied, "The only people who know about this matter, apart from the people in this house, are the prince and Mrs. Zhongyong.

Both the prince and Mrs. Zhongyong know the importance of this, and they will definitely not talk nonsense. ”

Empress He snorted coldly, "That's good, this palace will investigate this matter clearly." You all shut your mouths tightly to the palace, if half a word is revealed, it will ruin the reputation of the princess, and the palace is the only one you ask. ”

"The queen's teachings, my nephew and daughter-in-law will remember them." Duan's bow down ~ body.

Empress He waved her hand, "You can stand down." ”

Duan agreed, kowtowed, and exited the door.

When her figure disappeared outside the door, Queen He picked up the purse and opened it, and saw that there was a wisp of green silk inside, she could no longer suppress her anger, and shook her body and ordered: "Biyun, you go, immediately call Princess Lelin to the palace." ”
