"Mrs. Guo."

"Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Qiu."

It was still dark.

After greeting each other, she followed the remaining three cabinet officials and prepared to go to stand quietly outside the Kunning Palace.

However, the lantern swayed, and the attendant who led the way led them past the queen's Kunning Palace and went to the concubine palace in Beiyuan.

Seeing that the green lacquer lattice windows in the Yanxi Hall in front of me were transparent, the palace maids were coming and going, and the official family and the big stalls were waiting outside the hall.

Ji Qingchen was shocked in his heart.

On the first and fifteenth days of the new year, Zhao Duanning actually did not sleep at Queen Quan.

Usually he even has little Asahi in Kunning Palace.

"Mrs. Guo, in Yanxi Hall is the newly sealed Mrs. Yang of Pingle County."

Madame Qiu whispered softly, "She was originally a tasteless palace maid of Shang Accounts. ”

She smiled and nodded, knowing that she was showing her goodwill, and told her that the official family had recently favored this Yang palace maid and added the title of county lady.

Mrs. Qiu whispered again:

"Lord Jia asked the concubine to tell Mrs. Guo that he was in front of the official family and had him working for Mrs. Guo, if Mrs. Jia felt that the position of this female official was a little hard, he would come forward and say it, and Mrs. Guo would be able to go home in a few days."

“……”

She was speechless.

Did Jia Yidao really start to "pursue" her?

She had already inquired about the matter between Jia Yidao and Queen Quan's sister.

Only then did she feel that as soon as she went out on the third watch today, she saw Lou Yun's expression of "I didn't wake up, but I was still in good spirits".

He waited outside her door in the middle of the night with a horse and a horse, and he must accompany her to work.

She was puzzled. Lou Yun guarded against Jia Rudao, but he could still calm down about her entering the palace.

Now she understands that Zhao Duanning has too many new favorites.

As an emperor. He needs more princes.

The queen fell out of favor.

"The official family starts driving-"

They waited outside Yanxi Hall for a quarter of an hour, and then Zhao Duanning, who got up to work.

Twelve pairs of palace lamps, connected in a loop, led the step from the inner palace to the north out of the Huining Gate, to the vertical arch hall and go.

The horizon was not yet white, gray and black.

In the distance, she heard the sound of bells and drums on the other side of the main entrance.

Officials of the previous dynasty. I entered the palace from the main gate of Li.

Lou Yun went to work with her, that is, on the same road by the Salt Canal. Then she entered the inner palace from the Hening Gate, and he had to go around to the main gate of Li and enter the outer palace.

"Lord Jia was originally ordered to be Queen Quan's cousin?"

She watched Lou Yun on horseback.

Lou Yun had a struggling look in his eyes. In the end, I told the truth.

"When Concubine Jia died, the whole family came to the door twice in a row. The official family felt that it was too rude, so they let Queen Quan stop him. ”

This is also the reason why Jia Rudao is desperate for the official family.

Now, the official family asked Jia Yidao to choose another family business.

"Qingniang, Jia Rudao and the official family are not such a favored relationship."

Lou Yun emphasized it repeatedly.

So she followed Zhao Duanning to the court. I was wondering in my heart. What exactly does Zhao Duanning mean.

You must know that even if Queen Quan falls out of favor, she is also the mother of the crown prince.

"The minister is willing to be served, bow to the head for a hundred bows, and play with sincerity—"

She was still wearing an official uniform and a hairpin hat, standing on the three-story royal platform, unfolding the table of Master Gan, and chanting in a flat voice.

"In the past, the Jurchen Jin Kingdom stole the old capital and destroyed Shenzhou. The two emperors hunted in the north, and the people wailed-"

During the long court meeting, she read so hard that her eyes were glazed.

In addition to Mr. Gan, the recitals written by several elders of the political hall are all the same content:

They all felt that the time was ripe now, and it was better to make an appointment with Western Xia and Mongolia to destroy Jin in one fell swoop.

The opposition is in the minority, and the leader is Lou Yun.

Wang Shiqiang was sent to Mingzhou City on a big errand, and the one who supported Lou Yun the most was Jia Nidao.

Therefore, this faction is also known as the male pet faction.

She was in the court, and when she saw an old minister pointing at Jia Nidao's nose and scolding him for being a Longyang minister, she understood.

She could fully understand Jia Yidao's performance.

On the boat that day, after he was scolded by her to go back to marry his wife, he also made great efforts to get Mrs. Qiu to please her, of course, for a reason.

What could be easier to prove his sexuality-orientation than to pursue a second-married woman?

In particular, this woman is also a first-class foreign woman in the circle of officials in the capital.

……

After going down, the official family went back to Yanhe Hall for a nap, and he specially asked her to go back to rest on the first day of work and come back tomorrow.

Ji Qingchen felt again that Zhao Duanning should not have taken a fancy to her.

Since he returned from the defeat in Tokyo City, she has become more and more unsure of his thoughts, but as soon as she thinks of the secret letter in Wang Shiqiang's study, she knows:

She was never sure what Zhao Duanning was thinking.

However, Ji Qingchen did not go home either.

She was handed over by the female official of the queen's palace and called to the queen.

Queen Quan's expression was really a little haggard.

“…… I heard that Lou Xianggong intends to reunite with Mrs. Guo? Mrs. Guo did not respond? ”

Queen Quan put the tea and asked with a smile.

After all, she is the crowned lady of the country, not an ordinary female official, and she still gives a seat and tea.

"Mrs. Guo has someone else in mind?"

“……”

Ji Qingchen pondered how to answer.

The meaning of Queen Quan's posture was clearly to ask her not to have anything to do with Jia Rudao.

This is enough to prove that the emperor and queen are not in harmony.

In the past, Queen Quan, whether overt or covertly, had never objected to any of Zhao Duanning's decisions.

"Thank you for your care, the concubine has no intention of starting a family now, and besides, Lou Xianggong is loyal to the court and busy with official affairs, so he will naturally marry another one in a few days."

Who knows when Lou Yun will "find out in conscience" again, and feel that he must advance and retreat with Lou Luanpei?

If Jia seems to have a leg with the official family, it is actually a choice for a second marriage.

At least it's good-looking.

"This matter is because the palace has an extra mouth, and the rumors outside the palace are mentioned."

Queen Quan spoke in an unknown language, but Ji Qingchen immediately understood.

Queen Quan actually said about the male pet in front of Zhao Duanning.

"Lord Jia is young and vigorous, and it is inevitable that he will have some resentment about Uncle Bengong's two withdrawals. But after all, he was engaged to his cousin in the main palace. Even if he was demoted because of the defeat of the last Northern Expedition, his cousin's family retired again. But that's not what Hongu meant......"

“……”

Ji Qingchen felt that even if she wanted to take the opportunity to marry Queen Quan, it was impossible.

It's hard for Queen Quan to turn over.

Anyone can see that Zhao Duanning was too psychologically fragile when he came back from defeat, and he was completely one with Jia Rudao at that time.

If the whole family wants to withdraw from their relatives, it is not a slap in the face, it is a slap in the face to Zhao Duanning.

"Niangniang's suffering, the concubine understands, but ......"

Ji Qingchen can only be so vague, who has such a big face to go to Zhao Duanning to say good things for the queen?

She hasn't cleaned up her own mess yet.

The queen looked at her.

It is impossible for Ji Qingchen to go to the court without makeup, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, eye waves, scarlet official uniforms and snow silk stand-up collars, and the beads on his ears are translucent and blue.

That pair of beads was still the Jade Yao that Zhao Duanning had rewarded her in the past under the city of Tokyo.

But she was dressed in a men's official uniform and a hairpin hat, and looked back at Queen Quan very calmly.

“…… Mrs. Guo entered the palace this time, can Mrs. Guo understand the meaning of the official family? ”

"Yes. I heard that the official family intended to put King Chen in the palace to raise him, and the concubine was a foreign affairs female official who had been Queen Xie, and she should have served in the palace earlier. ”

Actually, it's none of her business at all.

Zhao Duanning just used her to remind Empress Xie that he was staring at them after killing Concubine Yan.

“…… When Mrs. Guo is free, she also goes to the palace according to the grade and makeup. ”

Queen Quan said this and sent her back.

"Yes, the concubine retired."

Ji Qingchen knew that Empress Xie was right:

"Although she comes from a small family, she is an understanding person. After one or two trials, you will know that you have no intention of inviting favors to the official family when you enter the palace. Now that Mrs. Yang Jun and Cao Meiren are favored at the same time in the palace, she can't take care of you at all. ”

She doesn't care about her cousin anymore. (To be continued......)
