The queen's situation is much better now than at the beginning of the year.

Although she still couldn't get out of Kunning Palace, she wanted to go around the courtyard of Kunning Palace, but no one stopped her. The palace people around her also have a certain degree of freedom of movement, and they can go back and forth between Kunning Palace and the residences of the princes and princesses, and deliver messages and things for the queen. Three meals a day, diet and daily life, all kinds of supplies are of the highest quality, giving the queen enough dignity. The eldest son of the emperor came to greet her once a day and spoke with her for a while; The second son of the emperor came to see her once every three days, and he could chat with her for half an hour under the supervision of the eunuchs and grandmothers, and the surveillance of the eunuchs and grandmothers has become more and more relaxed recently; As for the little princess, the nurse would take her to Kunning Palace every day, let the queen take a look at her daughter, and tease her for a while. If the queen is calm, the little princess will stay longer, and if the queen is in a bad mood, or says something that should not be said, the nurse will immediately take the little princess away.

In general, in addition to the restrictions on her movements, the queen's life in Kunning Palace was quite comfortable. Even after the concubine entered the palace and took over the palace affairs, she was more comfortable than before. A few thoughtful and clever palace maids and little eunuchs were transferred from other palaces, and they talked to the queen every day, which was particularly pleasing, not only sending all kinds of delicious fruits and snacks to the queen, but also picking all kinds of flowers in the imperial garden, inserting them into vases, and sending them to the queen's palace to decorate the environment. If the queen is in a better mood one day, they will look at her face and tell some interesting things inside and outside the palace to make her happy.

In the past, the queen was depressed, and the palace people around her could only follow the depression. I didn't dare to say festive words, I didn't dare to laugh, and I didn't even dare to wear bright colors. I don't want to wear any conspicuous jewelry on my head, fresh flowers and plants will never be sent to the queen, melons and fruits and snacks and the like, the queen is not in the mood, who dares to offer it? The curtains of the whole house are lowered to block the sun and the breeze, the light in the hall is dark, and the Buddhist hall is burning with sandalwood. The queen and the palace people around her always stay in front of the Buddha, either in a daze or chanting scriptures. No matter who it is. Walking into this environment, there is no other feeling except suffocation and depression.

But now, the curtains of the temple are hung and the sun shines into the palace. The autumn breeze is refreshing. The strong fragrance in front of the Buddha was blown away, but the fragrance of chrysanthemums in the courtyard was blown in, which was refreshing. The eunuchs beside the queen had fun, laughing and laughing, she looked up and saw flowers, and looked down at the food on the table. No matter what the queen wants to take or do, the new palace people always think of it first. Waiting for everything. The old people around the queen don't have to worry about being unemployed, and they are sighing in their hearts. The queen must be able to relax, right? Duan Concubine is still a good person, at least she respects the queen enough and is courteous enough.

But the queen didn't think so. She only felt that Concubine Duan was hiding treachery in her heart, and on the surface she was a good person, but in fact, she was earning a good reputation for herself as virtuous, and wanted to suppress her, the queen. The hateful people in the palace were deceived by the concubines, and everyone said good things about her.

In less than two months after the concubine entered the palace, the emperor only went to her five or six times in total, almost once in seven or eight days, and this frequency was really not high. But in the Queen's opinion, this is already too much. She gritted her teeth in front of her henchmen more than once and scolded Duan Concubine: "Fox Meizi! Haven't you seen a man in your last life? only thought about seducing the emperor, but he didn't even care about the emperor's body! "Crying again, the emperor changed his mind, and he only cared about the newcomer, but he never came to see her again.

The newcomer to the palace was dumbfounded, and he didn't know how to respond. If you want to scold the queen, they will really be long-lived, even if they scold the concubine and the fox, they can't say it, the concubine is really far from these two words, very dignified, more like a well-educated lady than the queen.

At this time, it was the turn of the people in the old palace to appear, and they didn't scold anyone, but only advised the queen to be relieved: "The emperor and the mother are the original husband and wife, and there are princes and princesses." At the moment, the emperor is just angry for a while, and when he is angry, he will definitely return to his mother's side. ”

Then the queen will feel much better, and when the eldest son comes, she will tell the eldest son: "Listen to your father, and remind him not to forget your mother." When the second prince came, her words were a little different: "Obediently listen to the words of the prince and read the book well." When your father is pleased, he will let you out. ”

The eldest son of the emperor has always agreed obediently, only the second son of the emperor is more rebellious, and sneered and turned his face: "My father has a new love now, and my new love will also give birth to a son, can my father still remember me when the time comes?" ”

The queen said unhappily: "How can Concubine Duan compare with your queen mother? The son she gave birth to is far worse than you! ”

The second son of the emperor sneered: "The concubine is not as good as the queen mother, and there are others who can compare." If the father can accept one concubine, he can accept the second. It's better for the queen mother to dream less! ”

The queen's heart was troubled, and she couldn't help but worry. Hearing the people of the new palace talk about a little palace maid in front of the palace making a joke, the emperor generously spared her board, and the queen knew that the concubine had arranged a new palace maid in front of the palace, and all of them were very delicate, she felt uncomfortable in her heart, and felt that the emperor was afraid that he would have to add a few more new favorites. Suddenly, someone told her that the most beautiful palace maid in front of the emperor was given by the emperor to King Guangping as a concubine, she was stunned for a while before she reacted, and her heart was even more surprised, and she immediately ordered someone to inquire what was going on.

The confidants and palace people around her personally went to hear the news, and replied that the queen mother had set a candidate for the side concubine for King Guangping, but the emperor did not agree, so he promoted the palace people around her to female officials. But even so, the Queen Mother still didn't change her mind, and the emperor was worried about the Qianqing Palace every day.

The places where the people around the queen can go are limited, and it is not as convenient as before to inquire about the news, so they can only inquire about many things, whether it is true or not, they are not sure. The queen got such vague news, so she could only make up for it herself. However, her current brain supplement has directly turned to a strange direction: it is rumored that the girl of the Fan family is quite beautiful, and her temperament is also the kind of concubine, which is the taste that the emperor likes now, and the queen suspects that the emperor has taken a fancy to the girl of the Fan family, so he will stop the queen mother from giving the girl of the Fan family to the king of Guangping as a side concubine.

The daughter of the Fan family is different from the concubine, if she enters the palace. At least she is also a concubine, if she gives birth to a son, she will be a great threat to the eldest son and the second son of the emperor. There was an uncle who had a heavy army. The emperor seems to be very interested in the daughter of the Fan family, how can such a prince not think about that dragon chair?!

When the queen thought of the future situation, her face changed, and she was eager to know if this was true. When the eldest son of the emperor came to greet her, she asked her son bluntly: "Your father and emperor are now stopping your imperial grandmother and not allowing the decree to allow Fan Benzhang's sister to be allowed to King Guangping?!" ”

The eldest son of the emperor was very embarrassed. He actually heard this matter from the people around him in private, and the emperor didn't mention it in front of him. He should not have known. My father had a conflict with my grandmother, and I also interfered in my uncle's inner courtyard, which is not very honorable. What can he say as a junior? Although he actually had some vague speculations in his heart. The father was not happy with this marriage, and he was mostly guarding against his uncle, and he was not happy to let his uncle come into contact with military power, but he had no other thoughts about the daughter of the Fan family. But how can such words be spoken? His father was unreasonably suspicious of his uncle. In the heart of the eldest son of the emperor. It's also a disgraceful thing.

He could only persuade the queen not to think too much: "My father has his own considerations, and my grandmother will discuss it with my father." The queen mother doesn't have to worry. ”

The queen only thought that this was the default meaning, she stared at her son, and hated iron and steel: "You are really a good son, and even this kind of thing helps your father hide it from the queen mother." It's just that you have never thought that you have not yet been officially established! Your father's promise was good, but he never fulfilled it. A concubine earns fame in and out of the palace all day long, which is enough to be annoying. Now there's another Fan's! She is from a higher background than Duan Concubine, if she really enters the palace. gave birth to a son, the seat in the East Palace, do you still have your share?! ”

The eldest son of the emperor hurriedly persuaded her: "Don't mention these things anymore, my father knows it." Jun has no jokes, since he said that he would establish a son, he will not regret it. Moreover, now that the sons have begun to listen to the government, the father and the emperor have taught the sons and daughters very carefully, and there is no intention of easy storage. The concubine is virtuous and virtuous, and there is no inconsiderate place for her sons, brothers, and sisters. Fan's daughter has no intention of entering the palace. The queen mother really doesn't have to worry about it here. ”

The queen was even more annoyed in her heart: "You just have to be a good son of your father, where can you tell who is really good for you?" In that case, go and send a letter to your grandmother and uncle, and the queen mother has something to say to them! ”

The eldest son of the emperor wanted to persuade again, but when he saw that the queen turned her head and ignored people, she had to give up. Out of Kunning Palace, his heart was heavy. In fact, the emperor postponed the ceremony of establishing the prince again and again, and he was also a little depressed in his heart, guessing that his father's prestige was now more and more prosperous, and he was probably not happy that after the prince was established, the courtiers would have a second object of allegiance, and the queen mother was not pleased with his father, which was probably one of the reasons. If something happens to the queen mother, I'm afraid that his ceremony will be postponed again, right?

I hope that Xie's grandmother and uncle will not follow the queen mother to mess around.

Mrs. Qu Shuibo and Xie Xiangfei were summoned to the palace, and they also felt that the queen might be messing around again, but after listening to her words, they hesitated a little. The queen's worries this time don't seem to be chasing after the wind?

Fan Benzhang's family has just settled down in Beijing, and many people have dealings with his family, and at first he could see his little sister come out to meet people, and Mrs. Fan also revealed to others that she wanted to say a kiss for her little daughter. But now Mrs. Fan has never mentioned this matter again, and the youngest daughter of the Fan family no longer comes out to meet people. If someone asked, Mrs. Fan said that she was not good. But a female relative who was close to the Fan family brought her daughter to visit the patient, but found that she was not sick at all. asked Mrs. Fan, she only said that the nobles in the palace liked her daughter very much, and she was willing to make decisions for her daughter's family affairs, but she didn't mention anything else.

But that's enough. Mrs. Qu Shuibo and Xie Xiangfei originally thought that the Queen Mother was going to point out the daughter of the Fan family to King Guangping as a side concubine, but if the emperor took a fancy to the daughter of the Fan family and asked her to be the imperial concubine, it seemed very reasonable. Fan Benzhang is a famous general in the army, holding heavy soldiers, if he becomes a royal in-law, the emperor will naturally feel more at ease.

But in this case, what is the queen going to do? What should the eldest son of the emperor do? The ceremony has not yet been held!

The queen made a request to her mother and younger brother: "You can't let the daughter of the Fan family enter the palace!" If she becomes a concubine, in this harem, there will be no place for this palace! The daughter of a military general's family is born ruthless, and her brother has a heavy army, and he will never be willing to be subordinate. ”

Xie Xiangfei frowned: "General Fan is not such a person, I am afraid that he may not be willing to let his sister enter the palace in his heart." ”

The queen sneered, and only said to Mrs. Qu Shuibo: "If my mother thinks the same way, this palace has nothing to say, I hope you don't regret it in the future." ”

Mrs. Qu Shuibo hesitantly pulled the corner of her son's sleeve, Xie Xiangfei paused and sighed: "Got it." (To be continued......)
