"Dongchang," the queen repeated with a little confusion, "you must be from Dongchang,"

"Hui Niangniang, whether the people in the past are subordinates of Dongchang, the slave and maid don't know, but they did pick up people under the brand of Feng En." Mama Zhou's eyebrows were also a little dark, "The slave maid thought, could it be the palace maid who released the palace from the Zhaoyang Palace, and she didn't do anything well,"

Counting on his fingers, if he showed his stuffing at the gate of the palace, he was sent to interrogation, confessed in half a morning, and reported to the emperor, and the emperor sent Feng En to inquire about the matter, and the timing was just right. If she was in the Shenwu Gate, it would be impossible for the harem to know within a few days. After all, out of the palace wall, all the guards are in charge of the guards, and there are two systems in the palace, so it is difficult to send words inside. And this is the palace maid of Xiao Wu Beauty, even if she wants to deliver a message in private, she will only report to Xiao Wu Beauty.

"If something happens, why should you tell me?" But the queen was still unrelieved, and her brows were tightly locked. "Why did she report directly to the eldest brother, she is leaving the palace and not entering the palace, even if she brings some money, what can she hinder? This slave is in such a hurry, and she wants to poke things up? ”

Although it is the emperor's backyard, it can't stand the crowd, where there are management regulations, there must be some unwritten rules, for example, things have to be reported layer by layer, and for example, what to find what level of people, it must be taboo to stab up indiscriminately. There are only two possibilities for the guard's actions, one is that this man must be carrying something very taboo, so taboo that he must report back to the emperor immediately, and the other is ......

The queen couldn't figure out what the second was—not that her intelligence was limited, but that she thought about it a little along this line of thought, and she felt so frightened that she could hardly sit still. - When the situation was still unclear, it would be futile to think too much and think too badly, she shook her head, put the ominous thought aside, and asked, "What about Zhuang'er?" Still raised in Zhaoyang Palace? ”

"Gonggong Feng just invited Wu Guiren to come over, and there is no will to discuss the crime at the moment." Mama Zhou also saw that the master's face was not good, so she comforted her, "The second son of the emperor is naturally still in the Zhaoyang Palace, and he is taken care of by the adoptive mother-Niangniang, according to what the slaves and maids saw, most of the people in Nadu carried gold and silver on their bodies, and they were searched. ”

The palace ban is like a decree of the imperial court, the implementation is very flexible, according to the regulations, people must be searched layer by layer when they enter and exit, and the search is more strict, this is the old rule inherited during the period of Emperor Wen, out, generally speaking, those who can go out are the heads of the palace, and it is understandable to go out with some rewards, and it means to rummage through the package, but if you meet the head of the housekeeper who is in a bad mood, or if the court has just rectified the atmosphere recently, it is normal to search strictly. The gold and silver were searched, but they couldn't explain it, and they reported it layer by layer, and it was not impossible for Zuihou to ask the labor master to come forward to catch people.

"Gold and silver?" The queen glanced at Mama Zhou, "A few taels of gold, alarming the East Factory?" Unless she's holding a jade seal! ”

She shook her head without thinking, "Wu Yu'er is finished, there must be some kind of evidence found!" ”

"You mean-" Mama Zhou's face was finally full of worry, "Xiao Wu Guiren actually brought a letter, not a message?" She- she won't-"

"So what?" The queen was in a bad mood and didn't speak angrily, "So bold, so reckless, so stupid? You don't remember how she got to the top? She was meant to be such a person! ”

When the queen ordered the whole palace to cooperate with the prince to keep filial piety, and rolled together with the prince, can Xiao Wu Meiren's courage be smaller? It's a pity that although Bo got a name, he made a bad fortune, and the road to the top, which was originally very smooth, was strangled to death from the root by a word from the Queen Mother. This is her short-sightedness, such a person, I am afraid that she can really do things with letters to the family and let people get arsenic.

"Can't think of a detour?" Mama Zhou was a little unwilling, "Even if you send a letter, you will say that this woman is your confidant, and she will obey her orders for everything-"

"I'm afraid that with her brain, she made a foolish mistake, but she couldn't think of so much!" The queen said coldly, "I thought she would have an accident, but I didn't expect it to be planted so quickly!" ”

Mama Zhou also sighed, "It's a pity - judging from this matter, the noble man really hates the." ”

Living in the palace, if others say what they believe in something, they may be able to die ten or eight times in a year. Although Xiao Wu Meiren has always shown favor to Empress Sun, when she opened her mouth to ask for arsenic, Empress Sun was still more vigilant about her. - Who knows what her idea is? Even if he used to be sincere, now that he has a son, his mind will change! Not to mention that there is indeed no arsenic in Kunning Palace, even if there is, the queen will not be stupid enough to give it to her. As soon as I gave it here, Xiao Wu Meiren went to sell her, what should I do? It is even said that the queen is immediately suspicious of Xiao Wu Meiren - if she is not stupid enough to really think that the queen will give it, it is that Xiao Wu Meiren has different intentions when dealing with her.

Now, the facts have proved that Xiao Wu Meiren is just stupid, and her heart is still very pure. Mama Zhou's tone, the queen could hear it, she had won the son of Xiao Wu Beauty and her sincerity, and she wanted to persuade herself to help Xiao Wu Beauty and get her out of trouble.

Due to the unclear situation now, Mama Zhou did not say it clearly, as the situation develops, maybe she will say something good about Xiao Wu Beauty in due time...... Her mind is not complicated, and the queen can see it clearly at a glance.

If it was in normal times, she wouldn't have spoken out to wake up, but after Mama Zhou's persuasion, she was noncommittal, and it was not a bad thing to maintain a certain sense of mystery and authority. It's just that today's situation is special, the queen is impetuous, and she can't say weishenme, so she feels that her hair is standing up, as if there is an invisible sharp knife against her heart, and she really can't sit and lie down. In such an abnormal state, she inevitably talked a little more than usual.

"Don't even think about it." She said impatiently, "Wu Yu'er is finished...... Even if there is nothing in the letter, the people of Nadu must have explained everything, otherwise, as for alarming the East Factory? Since the eldest brother already knows about this and asks Feng En to come forward, what else can Wu Yu'er do? ”

This is the inner palace, not the outer court, not the place where Dongchang Fanzi is rampant, without the emperor's permission, Feng Enyan dares to take over? Dongchang swaggered to find Xiao Wu Meiren, which already shows the seriousness of the situation, with such a witness, still want to go out to fish Wu Yuer? Let's think about how I can get out of this.

Fortunately, his approach was quite thorough, and there were no big flaws...... The queen thought about her performance several times in her mind, and since the first contact with her after giving birth, every detail has been reviewed - even if Nadu and Xiao Wu Meiren bite back, she can say it herself. On the basis of not knowing the previous situation, whether it is to show favor to Xiao Wu Beauty, pass on the Queen Mother's words, or scold Xiao Wu Beauty's bizarre request, or arrange for her to go out of the palace to visit relatives, it is all reasonable...... The only thing that is slightly related is the verse that begins to be preached. But the eldest brother is not an innocent child, it should still be understandable, Xiao Wu Mei gave birth, he must be wooed, since the matter has been spread, he is nothing more than a step ahead of most people to know, why let this favor go in vain......

Although every detail was taken care of, the queen's heart still beat hard, as if she had let go of any details. I just sat on the ground and thought about it, but I couldn't find anything, so I had to signal to Mama Zhou, "You should pay attention, and if you have a letter, you will come to report it at any time...... How to deal with Zhuang'er now is the top priority. ”

Xiao Wu Meicai entered the East Factory, whether she got out safely or plunged into it, after all, it is not yet clear, but the possibility of her getting out safely and becoming an official is negligible. This person has been abolished, and the only thing that is still valuable is the prince she left behind, Mama Zhou nodded, "The old slave should be careful." ”

Seeing her figure disappear beyond the beaded curtain, the queen let out a sigh of relief, stroked her chest and just frowned in contemplation, and after a while, she summoned someone again. "Go and ask Zhang Liujiu, what is the eldest brother doing here. What went wrong with Xiao Wu Beauty? I haven't heard from me. ”

As the queen in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, it is unreasonable for her to ask about this matter. Although the emperor may not necessarily answer, her attitude must be shown. Zhang Liujiu is a eunuch who has always been friendly with Kunning Palace, and it is legitimate to send messages back and forth on trivial matters.

After doing this, she calmed down a little, although there was still a vague blockage in her heart, but the queen couldn't think of anything else she was missing. Then he collected his mind and got busy with his business.

Holding the position of the six palaces, it is majestic, but it is actually very trivial, seven things to open the door every day, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, although the six palaces are special everywhere, but to put it bluntly, it is a courtyard, and it is these things that are busy. Fortunately, although there are many people, the burden on the steward himself is not very large. The six bureaus and one division are institutions that exist to assist the queen in managing the court, and in recent times, in addition to daily chores, there are also rookie girls entering the palace and canonization. It is necessary to set a name for the rookie girl and arrange the palace room...... Some of these things should have been done by the emperor, but he didn't dare to be interested, so he handed them over to the queen.

Yuan's daughter looks delicate, singing moving, the emperor does not hesitate to slightly brush the queen mother's intention to leave her, Li's daughter looks bright, but look at the eldest brother's face, as if to please her mother to choose her, it can be said that she is subject to the Yuan's daughter's deed, although the words of the Zhu's daughter are boring, the behavior is not much elegant, but the birth is extremely beautiful, but also because of love to elect, three Xian women, Quan, Han, Jin, Jin on the way to the sick is gone, the remaining two must be canonized, although depending on the emperor's meaning, it will not be so favored, Among them, the Han daughter is still the sister of Concubine Han Li of the Temple of Literature, and the relationship between the generations is a little messy.

However, this is not too uncommon in the heavenly family, it can only be said that the two sisters are more age different, the queen on this list out of the god for a long time, and took the palace classics to read it, found the specific treatment of concubines at all levels, and then ordered someone to inquire, to understand the practice of the implementation of various institutions and the practice of previous years, so and the Shang Palace Bureau two Shang Gong drew up a list, and let people copy two copies, respectively sent to Qingning Palace, Qianqing Palace for the Queen Mother, the emperor to read.

After being so busy for a long time, the day is about to end, and the eunuch sent to find Zhang Liujiu has not yet returned, and the queen has not heard back after asking twice, and she is inevitably a little dissatisfied in her heart, thinking about whether she wants to ask her eldest brother for a capable person to help. Liu Zhien, who went to Nanjing, although his character is suspicious, but his ability is really not to say, Yong'an Palace is well organized, isn't it all because he has laid good rules? That is, when people are gone, the situation is not chaotic, and this is the role of talents......

While thinking about this, he went into the back room to see the prince, and only got up from a nap, and crawled around in bed, very lively. Luo Concubine watched and saw the queen come in, so she got up to salute, and the queen hurriedly smiled, "Okay, how many times have you said it, and you are still so polite?" I'm mad at doing this again. ”

Concubine Luo just left, she moved her position and sat opposite the queen on the edge of the bed, "Sister is done?" Look at your face is not very good. ”

"It's not like you're so busy that you're dizzy." The queen sighed, "I'm afraid you don't know yet, Xiao Wu Beauty is a bad thing." ”

But all women, there is no one who does not gossip, and Concubine Luo immediately showed a look of attention-more or less, maybe a little gloating, "I really haven't heard of it, what's going on?" ”

"I knew that someone from Dongchang called me away, and I haven't heard of what happened. It can't be a good thing for this factory guard to come forward......" The queen and Luo Concubine discussed, "Now Zhuang'er is alone in the Zhaoyang Palace." I don't know if Sister Xiao Wu can come back tonight. ”

This person with a child, his heart is soft, Luo Concubine heard this, and immediately moved, "Zhaoyang Hall is already deserted, and the child is single there, how pitiful!" It's just been confinement......"

She looked at the prince who was running around the house happily, "Sister, why don't you take Zhuang'er back and take care of it?" You can also be a companion with a plug. ”

Now is not the time to talk about this, the queen smiled slightly, "There is a adopted mother, I can't think about this now, maybe in a few days, Xiao Wu Meiren will come back?" ”

"This may not be ......" Concubine Luo is young and enthusiastic after all, in the more than a year of getting along, the queen is kind to her, she and the queen are already very casual when they talk, Zang or others will also open their mouths, and they will not stumble at all." Xiao Wu Guiren-"

"You're all a concubine now, it's polite to call a sister." The queen corrected her.

"How bold Sister Wu is." Luo Concubine's tone was a little sour, "In the past, when everyone was a human being, she didn't bully people a lot. ”

The palace maid of the Qianqing Palace also wants to go back to the lower room to sleep, although Luo Concubine has only made a career in the past few years, but she has entered the palace early, she has been mixed in the palace at such a young age, and she is still very familiar with old people like Xiao Wu Guiren. Although I may not have dealt with it personally, I naturally understand the inside story of her legend. picked up a few things and told the queen, and also satisfied the queen's gossip**.

"That's how it was." The queen shook her head, "That's it, now that Dongchang has shouted, she can't bully people anymore, what the result is, it depends on her creation." ”

Everyone gossiped for a while, and the bolt was also tired, holding the foot of the bed to go down, everyone hurriedly stopped, Luo Concubine carried him to the ground, the bolt swayed, walked a few steps and couldn't stand, fell to the queen's knees, didn't cry, hugged her legs, laughed and got up, the boy who was more than a year old was not able to speak, and shouted vaguely, "M-m-"

"Hey!" The queen loved him so much that she picked him up and kissed him, but she didn't want to hug him, and she was still thinking about playing, but she struggled and threw herself on the ground.

Seeing that in the evening, the princess's Yuanyuan was also brought in by the nurse to see her mother, and the mother and daughter were also tired, and the queen let her daughter go to play with the bolt, and when she saw Mama Zhou coming in, she asked, "Zhang Liujiu hasn't replied yet?" ”

"No—but ......" Mama Zhou's face was gloomy, she glanced at everyone, hesitated, then took a few steps forward, lowered her voice and whispered a few words in the queen's ear.

"Did you take the second son of the emperor to Qingning Palace?" Xu Xun couldn't help laughing, "What's the matter, it's about to be the prince's birthday, and it's still making such a big fuss?" ”

"But not yet?" Hua'er helped Xu Xun take off his robe and change into a soft shirt that fell asleep, "It's Dongchang again, and it's the second son of the emperor, it seems that Xiao Wu Guiren is really bad." ”

"Who knows what she did again." Xu Xun thought of the bizarre arsenic incident, although it was an attempt, he couldn't help but smile, "There are everyone in this palace, and it really doesn't have to be too strange to make any trouble." ”

Xiao Wu beauty has nothing to do with her, casually sighed, Xu Xun continued his night makeup, said to maintain the night makeup, put on the powder at night and then sleep, the essence was fully absorbed, the next day, the skin is naturally fair and smooth, so after wiping the grease before going to bed, you have to give a lot of powder, which is also a new trend in recent years, Xu Xun has just begun to learn to maintain the same.

When the powder was finished, he ate a bite of bird's nest with the hands of the flowers, and rinsed his mouth with water, Xu Xun walked to the window to take a look, and saw that there were still lights in the west wing, and the little shadows were faintly reflected on it, and he didn't know what he was doing, so he couldn't help laughing, "She's making a fuss again." ”

When I went over to see it in person, I crawled on the bed and learned to bark as a dog, and the sound of wavy was endless, and she giggled and asked her mother, "Is it like?" ”

"I slept soundly in the afternoon, I couldn't even scream, and now it's a ruckus at night." The nurse was also a little troubled, wiping her sweat and saying, "I don't want to sleep no matter how much I coax you." ”

Although Diandian's feelings for his biological mother are also deep, he is a little in awe after all, and when he saw Xu Xun coming, he restrained a lot, Xu Xun asked, "Do you want to sleep?" ”

She didn't dare to lose her temper like before, but nodded timidly, and said, "Mother accompany." ”

As he spoke, his hand reached out.

Xu Xun hugged Diandian, felt that the child was a little twisted, and felt that she was going to pee, so he gave her a time, Diandian really urinated once, and after urinating, the person was more settled, and was hugged to the bed by his mother and patted for a while, it was already sleepy-eyed, as if he would really fall asleep in the next moment.

Coaxing the child to sleep, what he wants is to be quiet, everyone in the house retreated, only the nurse and the palace maid who were on the night stood far away and did not make a sound, Xu Xun patted a little, and soon his eyelids became heavy. Thinking that she would sleep here tonight, she vaguely heard movement outside, she squinted and reluctantly looked back, and saw that there were some lights, and she didn't care much, she only felt that her consciousness was floating, as if she would fall asleep in the next moment.

It wasn't until the footsteps entered the room that Xu Xun barely woke up, thinking that something had happened to the inner palace again, so he rubbed his eyes in a daze and wanted to sit up, "What's wrong-"

But someone pressed his shoulder, "Don't get up, lie down-"

The emperor's voice was soft, "Wake up my daughter carefully." ”

Dotted and tossed in his mother's arms, maybe he felt hot, and when he turned over, he rolled half of the quilt away, and rolled himself into the depths of the bed, his little fat legs raised so high that his knees almost reached his chin.

Xu Xun was still a little confused, "Big brother? ”

She moved in to make way for the Emperor, who raised the hem of his robe, and after a while, presumably took off his boots, and put his feet on the edge of the bed, and sat against the head of the bed. Xu Xun saw that his daughter was sleeping soundly, so he turned around and fell into his arms, and said in a daze, "You came so late?" ”

"If you look at the excerpts, you will be late if you inadvertently read them." The emperor is the world's first hard-working clerical worker, and his daily excerpts are mountain-high, "Recently, there was a personal tragedy in Huzhou, and I don't know how to judge it...... It's also that you go to bed early. ”

Xu Xun also slowly came to his senses at this time, "What kind of human tragedy?" Tell me? ”

"I'm so sleepy that I can't open my eyes, and I still listen to stories?" The Emperor smiled, "Sleep...... Just deal with it all night, and talk about it tomorrow when you wake up. ”

"I don't sleep." Xu Xun shook his head, "I have to get up at night, and I can't sleep well here......"

"What are you afraid of?" The emperor didn't care, and he didn't change his clothes, "Just sleep like this, and I'll pee on her at night." ”

He gives a little bit of? Xu Xun smiled dumbly, Zuihou didn't feel sleepy at all, and got up and pulled the emperor to wash, "Then you can't get dirty on the bed, children are different from adults, but they are easy to get sick." ”

Hot water is naturally prepared in advance, the emperor touched Xu Xun's cheek, very curious, "What are you doing with this piece of white on your face." ”

Xu Xun then remembered that she was definitely not a begonia spring sleep just now, and it was rare that the emperor was not frightened, so she hurriedly said, "I'll wash it - it's just to apply powder before going to bed, saying that it can keep ...... young forever."

While serving the emperor to wash her face, she gossiped, "What is wrong with Xiao Wu Guiren?" I heard that you asked someone to carry Zhuang'er to Qingning Palace. ”

"Hmm." The emperor didn't hide it from Xu Xun, "I actually asked my family to buy arsenic and come back, and I want to plant it for you...... This man is talking ridiculously to himself. ”

"Huh? Planted? Xu Xun was a little confused at first, but after thinking about it, he made it clear, "Why is she still entangled in what happened a year ago." I didn't frame me that time, unwillingly? ”

"Don't talk about these things." The Emperor shook his head, "I originally wanted to talk to you, but I changed my mind as soon as I came in. These things are not as interesting as the snoring. ”

Xu Xun didn't have too much enthusiasm for hearing how others were plotting to harm her, and when she heard about snoring, she became excited, "It's a girl in the end, it's early to learn to speak, and now you can say two words." You still want me to hug it just now, and say 'mother's hug'! ”

"Diandian is growing faster than the average child." The emperor also said, "Every time I come, I feel a lot older, I haven't reached two years old, and I can run so fast." The bolt is a year old, and now he can't walk, so he can only climb. ”

"The boy grows slower, it's because she is too good at eating, she must have the strength......" After the two finished washing, Xu Xun asked, "Is it really sleeping here?" ”

The emperor shook her hand and smiled, "Why don't you want to sleep here?" ”

The emperor hasn't come to pay the public grain for a few days, Xu Xun seems to be smiling, "...... whatever you want"

As a result, I slept back in the main house.

The things that should be done have been done, and the two of them are also very satisfied, Xu Xun has the unique 'worry-free' mood after several satisfactions, and smiles sweetly on the emperor's chest, how to see how he feels pleasing to the eye, and slowly he will be brought to sleep by this kind of sleepiness after the peak...... But he was woken up by the emperor's laughter.

The emperor pillowed his hands and looked at the top of the bed, not knowing what he was thinking, he didn't realize that he had woken Xu Xun, pondered for a while, and let out a soft and pleasant laugh.

Xu Xun didn't know how to explain such a phenomenon, and she didn't know if she was the only one, but in this kind of aftermath, she was always in a good mood, and she was very affectionate to the emperor, she moved up and bit the emperor's ear, "What do you think, it woke me up laughing." ”

The Emperor patted her apologetically on the back, his eyes still far away, and the smile on his lips was still very strong. "I'm thinking, someone is going to be unable to sleep tonight."

"Huh?" Xu Xun's mind was a little dull, "Who?" ”

"Who else do you say?" The emperor asked rhetorically, thought about it, and said, "It's not right, there must be more than the two of them who can't sleep tonight, the master doesn't sleep, and the slaves and maids can't live in peace, and there must be dozens of people who can't sleep peacefully." ”

Xu Xun rubbed his eyes vigorously, and it took a lot of effort to react, "Huh? You sent Zhuang'er to Qingning Palace, didn't say hello beforehand? ”

"Nope." The emperor said very cleanly, "Mother's side, although it is definitely sleepless all night, most of it will be because of joy." ”

And the light in Kunning Palace must have burned the queen's heart. The second son of the emperor was sent to Qingning Palace and raised by the queen mother...... Coupled with the stiff relationship between the queen and the queen mother, which of the two grandsons will the queen mother feel sorry for, needless to say? This is undoubtedly an extremely unfavorable factor for the crown prince, and there are many negative effects on the queen.

Xu Xun thought that she had figured out the gains and losses, she yawned indifferently, but she was not interested, and was about to persuade the emperor to sleep, when the emperor said, "Guess, will the queen retreat?" ”

Settle for the next best? Xu Xun was already very sleepy, forcing herself to turn her brain, it was becoming more and more difficult now, she buried her face in the space under the emperor's shoulder, the tip of her nose pressed against his skin, "What is the second best thing to ......do?"

The words have not stopped, and they are already asleep.

The emperor caressed her warm and smooth back, thought for a long time, and smiled again.

"It's fun." He sighed with the sleeping Xu Xun, "Hehe, it's very interesting......"

Xu Xunhui sighed dissatisfiedly, and at the door of the house, the sand leaked to a fixed scale, which stimulated the golden bell to ring, and the crisp jingle reminded the emperor: The night has been three watches.

The author has something to say: I'm afraid there are quite a few people who can't sleep tonight.

Update!

PS By the way, my cat doesn't like placemats, because in the old place we didn't eat placemats, just put them on in the corners. It seems to be going against us...... Anyway, today it slept in the living room, and there was a heavy wall and two sound sources (a TV and a computer were playing films) from my seat, about 10 meters away.

And I can still hear it snoring clearly...... It's either a comfortable snoring, or a sound of snoring like a human being......
