Fan didn't expect that her mother-in-law, who had always been gentle and cold, would reprimand herself so bluntly, and her face suddenly turned red, but she didn't dare to talk back, and hurriedly hugged Brother Yun, who was crying, and left. I forgot about Sister Hui and Sister Xian.

The two girls stood there honestly and restrainedly, but it was really a little pitiful.

Mrs. Zheng is not a mean person after all, and she will never say anything unpleasant to the child. The tone softened slightly: "Sister Hui'er Sister Xian'er, you two should also step aside for the time being!" The maid beside the two girls hurriedly led them to retreat.

This little episode passed quickly.

The carriage in the palace soon arrived. The one who came to greet everyone was the female official Yue, who was the confidant of the queen's mother, and was very familiar with the ladies of the Dingguo Mansion. However, no matter how familiar it is, it is not rude, and I still see the salute one by one.

Ye Qinglan and the female official have also had a few encounters, and this meeting is more cordial. It's just that this is not a good opportunity to speak, and after smiling and saluting, he retreated to the side.

Sun asked in a low voice, "Lady Yue, has the queen been feeling better lately?" ”

The lady in law hesitated for a moment before saying, "This matter is a long story, let's wait until we get into the carriage and then talk slowly!" ”

When Sun heard this, his heart sank suddenly. Obviously, Empress Gu has not improved at all, otherwise the female official would never have been in this tone......

Needless to say, the carriage in the palace is extravagant, and even the two horses pulling the carriage are also special horses. There were two cars in total, Sun and Mrs. Zheng took the first car, and Ye Qinglan, Gu Xinian and Gu Yongnian took the second car.

The carriage started gently.

This time, without waiting for Sun's question, the female official took the initiative to say: "The queen mother was always anxious a few days ago. I can't even sleep well at night. The imperial doctor first prescribed a prescription to defeat the fire, and after drinking it for a while, it was ineffective. In the past few days, he has changed to drink a decoction that calms the nerves. The queen mother can barely fall asleep, but her spirit is always sluggish. ”

The so-called decoction that calms the nerves. It's a bit like the sleeping pills of later generations. After drinking such a decoction, I can fall asleep, but I can't help but be depressed. Drinking this decoction for a long time is harmful to the human body.

Sun sighed worriedly: "This is a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. It is better to get rid of the root cause of the disease. Moreover, always drinking such a decoction is not good for the queen's body. ”

The female official also sighed: "Even the slaves and maids understand this truth, and the queen mother naturally understands it better." It's just that if you don't drink the medicine, the queen won't be able to sleep at all......"

This. Even Madame Zheng frowned. According to what the lady said, the situation of the queen mother is not only not very good, but it is not good at all.

The female official lowered her voice again and said, "Niangniang has been sick recently and can't handle palace affairs. The concubine Niangniang assisted the sixth palace ......, "This concubine Niangniang is of course referring to Zheng Guifei."

Concubine Zheng Guifei has been in the harem for many years and has always been favored. If it weren't for Queen Gu's strong mother's backing, this queen's position might not be able to sit firmly......

Sun snorted lightly, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously glanced at Mrs. Zheng. Mrs. Zheng said nothing at this time. I simply shut my mouth.

The female official Yue also knew about this embarrassment, and quickly changed the topic again: "The emperor has been doting on Cao Jieyu and Huang Meiren recently, and he hasn't been to Fengyi Hall for some days. ”

This is said very implicitly, but the meaning is very clear.

Sun's face changed. I didn't speak for a long time. Although Queen Gu is the queen of the sixth palace, she is not favored. However, on weekdays, the emperor still has a lot of respect for Queen Gu. There are always a few days a month when they stay overnight in the Fengyi Palace. But now, the emperor has not been to Fengyi Hall for "some days". This is certainly not a rosy sign.

The lady in law said vaguely, and I don't know how long the so-called "some days" are! Mrs. Zheng thought for a moment. asked in a low voice: "The queen mother has been slightly ill for more than a month, could it be that the emperor has not visited the queen mother once in more than a month?" ”

The lady in law sighed quietly: "I went to visit once or twice at the beginning, but later, Cao Jieyu and Huang Meiren began to be favored, and the emperor never came to Fengyi Hall again." Counting it, it's been nearly a month. ”

I haven't set foot in the Fengyi Hall for a month, especially when Queen Gu is still in poor health, it does sound chilling in my heart.

Mrs. Zheng didn't know what to say, and frowned slightly. Zheng Guifei was naturally secretly happy when she was in power, but her current identity was here, and she had to think about it in the long run. If Empress Gu really loses her holy family, the status of the crown prince will also be affected. The Dingguo Mansion and the prince have long been tied together, and one is prosperous and the other is lost!

The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly fell silent.

In the other carriage, Gu Yongnian and Gu Xinian were also discussing this issue in a low voice: "Cousin, you are close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and there are many opportunities to enter the palace. You must know the recent situation of the queen mother, what happened? ”

I kept it a secret before, because I was afraid that everyone would worry. Now that he can't hide it, Gu Xinian simply told the truth: "The queen mother is recuperating in the Fengyi Palace, and the affairs of the palace are handled by the noble concubine." The emperor didn't want to disturb the queen's mother's recuperation, and he hasn't been to the Fengyi Hall recently. ”

Gu Yongnian was lazy by nature and was not sensitive to the information revealed in these words. Zhang Yue and Ye Qinglan glanced at each other with subtle expressions. Ye Qinglan glanced at Gu Xinian inquiringly. In other words, does Queen Gu actually have signs of falling out of favor?

Gu Xinian nodded invisibly, a deep light flashing in his eyes.

Ye Qinglan's heart moved quietly. Gu Xinian obviously knew something that others didn't know, perhaps, Queen Gu had fallen out of favor in her previous life. That's why the crown prince was lightly knocked down by the three princes......

Zhang Yue slightly approached Ye Qinglan's side and said in a low voice, "You have to be cautious when you enter the palace today." "It was originally a happy event to enter the palace to thank you, but you encountered such a situation. Empress Gu's mood is definitely not much better, and she has to be more careful when she goes to see Empress Gu......

Ye Qinglan responded with a smile. Zhang Yue is releasing kindness, she can naturally detect it. To be honest, she also has a good impression of Zhang Yue. Compared with the superficial Fan, she is more willing to be close to Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yuechang is not too beautiful, only delicate and beautiful, but her bearing is elegant and outstanding, and her speech and demeanor are elegant and gentle. Moreover, Zhang Yue is obviously an extremely intelligent woman. Within less than a year of marrying into the door, Gu Yongnian had such an amazing change!

It is natural for Gu Yongnian to be lazy and tired and not like to read, and Queen Gu does not dare to put him in too important positions. So he let him receive the idle errand in the Zongren's mansion. is nominally a five-grade official position, but in fact, it is to receive a salary, and there is no serious errand at all. Everyone thought that as long as he didn't make any trouble, it would be fine. Unexpectedly, in the past six months since he took office, Gu Yongnian has honestly gone to work every day, neither late nor early or anything, and he has gotten along well with his colleagues. It was unbelievable. This qiē, of course, is all the credit of Zhang Yue's wife. Because of this, Sun looked at Zhang Yue more and more.

Gu Xinian's attitude towards Gu Yongnian has also been much softer recently, and the two chatted casually along the way, but they didn't have a cold scene.

The carriage stopped outside the palace gate. The lady in law showed her waist card, and the eunuch guarding the door opened the door with a smile.

After entering the palace, everyone naturally fell silent. Under the guidance of the female official, all the way to the Fengyi Palace. After walking such a long way, Sun's legs were already sore and panting.

When I entered the hall, I saw Queen Gu sitting upright on the phoenix chair. The thick makeup couldn't hide the haggard look on her face.

Sun didn't have time to take a closer look, so he stepped forward and saluted first: "The old man has seen the queen mother." The crowd also saluted with Sun. After receiving this salute, Empress Gu got up with a smile and personally helped Sun to get up: "Mother, get up quickly." "And he commanded that a seat be given. Mrs. Zheng also had a seat, and as for the others, of course, only standing.

Gu Xinian took a step forward and said with a smile: "Thank you to the queen mother for giving the marriage that day, and the nephew and Qinglan are fortunate to be husband and wife. Ye Qinglan also saluted with Gu Xinian.

Empress Gu smiled and said a few festive words: "The two of you will live in harmony in the future, and you will grow old together with kindness and love, and it will not be in vain for a piece of the palace's heart." As he spoke, he instructed the palace maid beside him to hold the prepared meeting gift in front of Ye Qinglan: "Ye family, when you enter the door of the Dingguo Mansion, you are the nephew and daughter-in-law of the palace." On the day of the big day, it is inconvenient for the main palace to come to the door, but the meeting gift has already been prepared. Today, I took advantage of your entry into the palace to thank you, and I just gave it to you. I hope that you will honor your in-laws and serve your husband in the future, and pass on your heirs as soon as possible to spread the branches and leaves for the Gu family. ”

Ye Qinglan took the heavy brocade box and thanked her respectfully.

There's basically nothing to do with her next!

When the Sun family and Queen Gu spoke, even Mrs. Zheng didn't have much chance to open her mouth, let alone her new daughter-in-law, who had just passed the door. As long as you stand honestly behind Mrs. Zheng.

Zhang Yue is similar to her, the difference is only that she is standing behind Sun.

Sun Shi looked at Queen Gu carefully, and saw that she described her as haggard and thin, and she couldn't hide her sick face even if she laughed energetically, not to mention what it was like in her heart. couldn't help but ask: "Niangniang, has the emperor come to see you in the Fengyi Palace recently?" ”

Empress Gu smiled and replied lightly: "I have been slightly ill recently, and the emperor is sympathetic, so he specially let me recuperate with peace of mind and did not come to visit." Even a group of concubines were exempted from the salute. This is said indifferently, and how much bitterness is contained in it, probably only Queen Gu alone knows. (To be continued......)
