Inside the Fengxi Palace.

Concubine Li accompanied the Queen Mother and waited.

Recently, Concubine Yun has been grounded, and she will temporarily take charge of the harem. She came from an ordinary background, had she seen any big battles before, and she didn't know how to manage a huge palace, so she had to often wait by the Queen Mother's side and ask the Queen Mother for her ideas.

The previous Concubine Li was as low-key as she was, except for the days when she should greet the Queen Mother, she basically stayed in her own dormitory. is not co-opted by other concubines, is not favored by His Majesty, the open and secret battles in the harem, the bloody and bloody wind, have nothing to do with her. Therefore, in the shadow of the sword and sword in this harem, she survived peacefully.

Although Concubine Li's submissive appearance made the Queen Mother look down on her, she was resolute all her life, and she still admired the woman who was in a hurry. However, it is much more comfortable to have such an obedient person by your side than when Concubine Yun is there.

"This is the list of gifts drawn up by King Qin's marriage and concubines, please take a look at the Queen Mother. Concubine Li handed the list of gifts she sorted out to the Queen Mother, afraid that she would snub King Qin and overstep it.

"There's nothing wrong with the list you handled, it's just that his mother is grounded now, and since this gift is up to you, you just have to be more valuable. The Queen Mother glanced at it and said lightly.

"Yes, the concubine will go and change her ways. Concubine Li lowered her eyes and said.

"How are the preparations for this marriage in the Qin Palace?" the Queen Mother asked again, "Since you are now the assistant manager of the harem, you have to worry more about many things." ”

"The concubine sent someone to ask yesterday, and everything is going on as usual!" Concubine Li said, "What the Queen Mother said is that the concubine will continue to work hard." ”

"It's hard for you, I haven't done these things before, and now I want you to do anything at once, it's hard enough for you!" said the Queen Mother, "Don't think too much, don't be afraid of anything, just do what you need to do properly, and the mourning family and Your Majesty can see it." ”

"Yes. ”

While speaking, the palace people entered the inner report and reported: "Queen Mother, King Qi has come to ask for peace." ”

"Oh!" the Queen Mother rejoiced, "let him in." ”

Liu Xu entered and saw that Concubine Li was also there, and his eyes were surprised for a moment, but his face was silent.

"Say hello to the imperial grandmother, I've seen Concubine Li!" Liu Xu hugged his fists.

"Don't be polite, sit down!" the Queen Mother smiled, "Why did you think about coming to say goodbye to the mourning family today?"

"I miss the Queen Mother, just come and take a look!" Liu Xu said with a smile.

Liu Xu came, but Concubine Li felt a little uncomfortable, so she found an excuse to retire first.

After Concubine Li left, the Queen Mother said: "King Qi, come here, come here to the mourning family, and show the mourning family your wounds, is it serious?"

Liu Xu smiled slightly, and after walking in, he lifted his sleeves, revealing a bandaged wound, and said, "It's just a skin injury, the imperial grandmother doesn't have to worry." ”

"Have you asked the Imperial Doctor to read it? What did the Imperial Doctor say?" the Queen Mother asked worriedly, "Does it hurt?"

"The imperial doctor has seen it, it's just a small injury, it's not too tight, it doesn't hurt!" Liu Xu said, "Grandmother Huang doesn't have to worry." ”

"That's good, and it's a blessing. The Queen Mother sighed, "How is the matter of this assassin being traced?"

"I'm looking into it. Liu Xu said, "There are no clues yet." ”

"Audacious, dare to assassinate the prince, if it is found out, the mourning family will pick his skin!" The queen mother scolded, "You must cultivate well these days, don't overwork, if there is anything uncomfortable, let the imperial doctor come and take a look, don't carry it yourself." ”

"Don't worry, Imperial Grandmother, the grandson has a sense of proportion in his heart. ”

The Queen Mother was silent for a short time, raised her eyes to look at Liu Xu, and asked worriedly, "Have you taken care of everything in your palace?"

"Okay, the imperial grandmother really doesn't have to worry about these things, these things are measured by the grandchildren. Liu Xu said.

"How can the mourning family not be worried?" said the Queen Mother, "You said that you want to abolish the princess because she has been childless for many years, but this is not your character, even if the Wang family can't give birth to children in her life, if you don't make a mistake, you won't abolish her." What can make you so ruthless must be because she made an unforgivable mistake! This Wang family looks gentle and virtuous on weekdays, and she has not made any mistakes in the past ten years, and the mourning family once thought that her conduct was outstanding. But I didn't expect that when she even had to look away, her conduct was really not as good as she showed!"

After a pause, the Queen Mother continued: "Although the mourning family doesn't know when she asked her to abolish her, but the mourning family has made people track down one thing, didn't your Mrs. Ning be slandered before, and there is any unclear relationship between your lady Ning and that kid Qizi, she is the initiator of these rumors, she really knows people and knows her face, but she doesn't know her heart! The mourning family will compensate Mrs. Ning a little, and the mourning family's behavior can be regarded as returning her innocence. ”

"Thank you, Grandmother. Liu Xu lowered his eyes and sighed slightly.

"Look at the four ladies in your house, the Su family, the Yang family, the You family, and the Jiang family, who can be straightened out as the princess?" the Queen Mother asked, "If they are not satisfied, the mourning family can also choose another famous lady for you to be the princess." ”

Liu Xu pursed his lips and did not reply immediately.

The Queen Mother thought for a while, and then said: "You Family's maiden family made a big mistake, although it didn't cause any big impact, if she was the princess, it would still cause criticism, the Jiang family was from a humble background and had little qualifications. I think it's only the Su family and the Yang family, what do you think in your heart?"

"There is no need to be in such a hurry to establish a princess. Liu Xu said, "Wait a few days, when the time is ripe, my grandson will come back to ask for the grace of the emperor's grandmother." ”

"Well, you just have to count it in your own heart!" said the Queen Mother.

In the palace of the king of Qin, there are lights everywhere.

Fleur was walking, when suddenly a red lantern rolled down to her feet, and the subordinate on the side hurriedly pleaded: "Disturbed Madame, please forgive Madame!"

Fleur looked at the double happiness on the lantern and sighed.

The maidservant behind her scolded, "Don't you have long eyes?"

Fu Hui waved her hand to stop the maid from scolding again, and said lightly: "It's okay, you can continue to work!" The words fell, and continued to walk, originally planning to send ginseng soup to Liu Ling, but now he is not in the mood.

"Madame......"

"I'm fine. Fu Hui said, "The prince has been very busy recently, and it is said that the prince intends to assassinate King Qi, and now there is a lot of rumors outside, he must be very sad, not to mention, now that the mother concubine in the palace is also in trouble, he is even more anxious, but unfortunately, I can't help her with anything." ”

"Madame can't help, but someone can!" said the maid.

"What do you mean?"

"Miss Shangguan. The maid said, "She is the granddaughter of Prime Minister Shangguan, and she should be able to help the prince." ”

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Madame, you can go and ask Miss Shangguan to help the prince!"

"I'm going to beg her?" Fleur snorted, "Am I crazy?"

The maid said patiently: "Madame, don't be angry first, please listen to the slave maid." Madame went to ask Miss Shangguan to help the prince, and when she came, she could show the virtuousness of the lady, and for the sake of the prince, she did not hesitate to abandon her self-esteem and turn to Miss Shangguan for help. Second, Miss Shangguan and even the Shangguan family, if you don't make a move, it will be ruthless and unjust, if you do, it is because Madam you went to ask for it, and the prince will still be grateful to you. So no matter what, it's good for you, madam!"

Furao's eyes rolled slightly, and said, "What you said has some truth! That's good, you go and prepare, and we will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the afternoon." ”

"Yes. ”

Fu Yuan's abacus sounded, but the people in Shangguan's Mansion were not stupid.

Fu Hui wanted to see Miss Shangguan, and she knew that this woman was not good, so she said that Shangguan Yu'er had gone out and was not in the house now. Fleur was waiting for her to come back, and she had something important to tell her.

If she wants to wait, she will wait, the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion are waiting for her with delicious food and drink, but Shangguan Yu'er just doesn't show up, seeing that the sky is dark, she has been Shangguan Yu'er's figure.

Fleur also became impatient, and stopped the maid who had come to serve tea, and asked, "When will your young lady come back?"

"This slave really doesn't know, if the lady has other things to deal with, she can deal with things first, and come back another day!"

"Madam, even if Shangguan Yu'er is really not in the house, Madame has been here for so long, they should also send someone to find her back, according to the slave maid, it must be Shangguan Yu'er hiding and not seeing each other, deliberately embarrassing Madame!"

"I've been waiting here today, I want to see when they are going to embarrass me, I don't believe that Shangguan Yu'er really hasn't shown up. Fluff gritted her teeth and said hatefully.

The maid said with some hesitation: "Madam, this is not good, what if the prince has something to find Madame?"

At this time, Fleur suddenly felt uncomfortable in her stomach, her face changed, and she hurriedly went out and called a maid: "Where is the thatched house?"

The maid immediately took her to the hut.

When Fleur came out, her maid asked worriedly, "Madam, are you alright?"

"Stomach trouble, there must be something wrong with the tea just now!" Fleur said with another rumbling sound in her stomach, and she immediately went back to the hut.

Shangguan Yu'er, who was not far away, covered her mouth and laughed when she saw this scene: "Look at her cheeky and not leaving!"

"It's still young lady who is smart!" the little maid gave a thumbs up, "but the master doesn't know, won't he be angry?"

"What are you afraid of!" Shangguan Yu'er smiled, "Grandpa loves me the most, and he won't be angry!"
