Liang Naixin really let go of his heart at this time, and walked towards Yanxi Palace with the support of the red lotus. Yanxi Palace was expanded by the Yanshou Hall of the previous dynasty, and the queen mothers or concubines of the previous dynasties did not like to live in a separate palace, and most of them moved to the Buddhist hall not far from the Jinhua Palace, which was not large in scale in the Yanshou Hall of the previous dynasty. Since the establishment of this dynasty, the Yanshou Palace has been officially expanded and renamed Yanxi Palace for the residence of the Queen Mother and the concubine. At this time, the Yanxi Palace was inhabited by the Empress Dowager Yixian Chen Wenshu, who was also the former Empress Xiao Chen.

Since the death of the first emperor, she moved to Yanxi Palace, eating fasting and reciting Buddha every day, living an isolated life. Fortunately, she can live peacefully to this day, Xiao Yu doesn't like him, the titular queen mother, but the actual aunt, rarely comes to her to say goodbye on weekdays. With Xiao Yu's attitude there, others naturally despised the Queen Mother, although the amount of food and clothing was prepared in accordance with the regulations of the Queen Mother, it would always be inferior in quantity or texture.

Chen Wenshu saw it in his eyes, but he didn't go to the emperor to complain, so these people became more and more emboldened. Biwen was so angry that she scolded loudly several times, but the queen mother had already lost power, and the palace maids around her could be a little intimidating, and in the end it was Biwen herself who was angry.

"Mother." Biwen stood behind Chen Wenshu aggrievedly, and whispered: "The slave went to the inner prison to get ice cubes today, and those cubs dared to say that they didn't even know that you wanted to use it." The slave thought that it was a few days late this year, but when she came back and passed by the Yilan Palace, she clearly saw several large pieces of ice resting in the room. Niangniang, they have been slow to treat you again and again, and they have deducted it from the queen mother, you can't swallow this matter anymore. ”

"No more swallowing your anger?" Chen Wenshu, who was kneeling on the pu mat and closing his eyes and reciting the scriptures, slowly opened his eyes, just opposite the Buddha's eyes of compassion for the world, and sighed long in his heart: "The mourning family has no son to rely on, and the identity of the queen mother is just a name that does not let the emperor bear the charge of unfilial piety." ”

"But you are the aunt of Your Majesty's relatives, even if Your Majesty doesn't look at the monk's face, you can also look at this layer of Buddha face, and treat you well." Biwen was still angry, she remembered the anger she had suffered in the past few days, and she couldn't wait to let Xiao Yu immediately ruthlessly rectify the group of cubs who didn't know the height of the sky.

"Auntie?" Chen Wenshu suddenly laughed: "If he really recognized the mourning family as his aunt, there would not be such a thing as today." ”

If Biwen thinks about it carefully, it is indeed the case. The little inner chamberlain dared to deduct the queen mother's degree, if it weren't for someone behind their backs, they wouldn't dare to borrow 10,000 guts. "But after all, you and Your Majesty both bleed the blood of the Chen family......"

"What if they all have the blood of the Chen family? He was a ruthless and unrighteous cold-blooded monster, and a ten-year-old child could personally kill Tan Yuqiu and Pan, who had served him for many years, not to mention the mourning family, the person who had seized his position as the queen mother. ”

"Niangniang......" Biwen still wanted to persuade again, no matter what she said, the blood relationship between the queen mother and the emperor was constantly severed.

"It's a pity that the mourning family doesn't have a son to rely on, it's a pity that Kang'er went so early......" Xiao Chen looked at the burning clouds in the sky, his eyes sad and desolate. If her Kang'er is still alive, who may be able to sit in the position of the emperor!

"The concubine asks the queen mother to say goodbye." Liang Naixin waved his hand to get rid of the attendant who was about to pass on, and walked into the palace gate with the red lotus root.

Although several generations of emperors have allocated funds for repairs, Yanxi Palace is much bleaker than the residences of the concubines in front, and Xiao Chen's family is not respected by the emperor, except for a few old trees in the palace gate, there is no other decoration, and it looks like a depression.

"Why does Concubine Liang have time to come over?" Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at Liang Naixin who came to ask for peace vigilantly. She has never been a concubine of Xiao Yu here, and Liang Naixin, who is being favored by the Holy Grace, will actually come in person, what thoughts are hidden in this to be explored.

Compared with Xiao Chen's coldness, Liang Naixin was familiar, stepped forward to take her hand from Biwen's hand, and said softly: "The concubine is in charge of the harem for the first time, and many things are really busy, so that I can't come to the Queen Mother from time to time to say goodbye, and please don't blame the Queen Mother." ”

Her cautious gesture aroused Xiao Chen's doubts even more, but they are all people who survive in the palace, who can not do these face-saving efforts! Xiao Chen also patted her hand lovingly, and comforted: "The mourning family has always been in bad health, and the affairs of the harem were originally managed by Concubine Qing. It's also thanks to your intelligence since childhood, even then you can manage the harem in an orderly manner. ”

Liang Naixin helped her sit on the stone bench by the tree, and sat on the side herself, and then spit bitter water: "It's nothing if the concubine works hard, but after all, she is also worried about His Majesty." She paused, swept around and reprimanded Biwen: "It's so hot, why didn't the Queen Mother put ice cubes here?" Could it be that you are not dedicated enough to your services? Or did he steal the supply of the Queen Mother? ”

Biwen was suddenly drunk by her, hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said aggrievedly: "The slaves and maids did not steal the supply of the Queen Mother, but ...... It's just that the inner chamberlain said that there was no more ice. ”

"Ridiculous!" The red lotus root took the lead in standing up and raised her voice: "The Queen Mother is the respect of the royal family, how can you not use the Queen Mother first!" Aunt Biwen has been in the palace for so many years, how can she tell such a ridiculous lie! ”

"Queen Mother, I think it's this kind of palace people who are big bullies, and they don't want to admit that they have stolen your money. Since this is the case," Liang Naixin looked at Biwen who was kneeling on the side from Xiao Chen's face, and said slowly: "The concubine is entrusted by His Majesty and is in charge of harem affairs, how can she allow such a ridiculous thing to happen!" The concubines will help the Queen Mother teach these ignorant palace people a good lesson today! ”

As soon as her words fell, several sturdy chamberlains stood up behind the red lotus, dragged Biwen and the others to the side, set up the bench and began to whip them fiercely.

One after another, screams suddenly sounded in the silent Yanxi Palace, as if a ghost had reborn.

"Guifei Niangniang, the slave maid has not stolen the supply of the queen mother, begging the maid to be merciful and spare the slave and maid." Biwen has been by Xiao Chen's side since she entered the palace, and she has always been instructed by her, and she has never been beaten or punished. At this time, he was whipped mercilessly, and he was so painful that he wanted to die immediately.

Xiao Chen closed her eyes, like a god and Buddha who had entered the meditation, and only the Buddha beads that kept turning in her hand slightly revealed her true feelings. Liang Naixin looked at this qiē carefully, she is now the one who holds real power, how can she be afraid of Xiao Chen's mother, who is not liked by Xiao Yu!
