"The Queen Mother, you are too worried, after Weichen told the emperor about this matter, the emperor specially asked Weichen to ask the Queen Mother what she meant, if the Queen Mother is willing to attend the palace banquet, then the emperor will send additional guards to ensure the safety of the Queen Mother." Chen Li hurriedly explained: "I hope that the Queen Mother will not blame the emperor." ”

"Chief Celebrant Division, these words should not have been said to you." The Queen Mother's meaning is nothing more than that Chen Li has exceeded the rules, if it is put on others, I am afraid that she will be pulled out and killed by the Queen Mother, but the Chief Ceremonial Department of Qin Tianjian is not a person she can kill at will, so she can only warn it verbally.

"Wechen is guilty." Chen Li naturally couldn't argue with the Queen Mother, so he hurriedly admitted his mistake respectfully, which made the Queen Mother's face slightly better.

"That's it, the New Year's Palace Banquet is a big event, what's the matter if the mourning family doesn't go?" The Queen Mother snorted, and then said: "Go back and tell the emperor that the mourning family will definitely attend the palace banquet." ”

"Yes! Wechen retires! Chen Li got the queen mother's reply, so naturally he wouldn't stay long, Mama Chen called the little eunuch in, and Chen Li helped the little eunuch out.

"Queen Mother, don't take it to heart, the emperor is also worried about your safety." Mama Chen saw that the queen mother's face was not good-looking, so she could only say with relief: "You also know that there are a lot of things in the palace these days, and the relationship between the queen and the emperor is becoming more and more tense, but I am afraid that the prince will also be implicated." ”

"The mourning family is not worried about them, no matter what, it is natural for the emperor to be jealous of the Liu family, the mourning family said at the beginning that the Liu family can produce a queen mother, and it is enough to produce a concubine, but they just don't listen, and in the end, these two people are left." The Queen Mother closed her eyes, pinched her eyebrows, and said coldly: "I'm afraid that the Liu family's kindness will also end." ”

"How come, with the protection of the Queen Mother, the emperor has to leave the prince more or less, you see that the imperial historians made such a big fuss some time ago, didn't the emperor depose the prince? This shows that the emperor still thinks of your affection. When Mama Chen heard the Queen Mother say this, she only felt her heart skipping violently, but she still persuaded softly: "The emperor may not mind those things back then, so don't take it to heart Queen Mother." ”

"The mourning family watched him grow up, don't you know what the emperor thinks?" The Queen Mother pinched her eyebrows, sighed and said: "It took so much effort back then, but only now did I realize that many things are not decided by people, otherwise how could anyone say that it is not as good as heaven?" ”

"Niangniang, the matter has come to this, if the emperor really has the idea of abolishing the prince, he will not be in a hurry at this time, let the prince do something after the New Year, maybe there will be a turnaround?" Mama Chen didn't expect that the Queen Mother was not very optimistic about the emperor's practice of not deposing the prince, could it be that the emperor really planned to do something to the prince?

"The mourning family saw that he was very confused, and he actually raised that evil seed for the nine kings, and even promised her the daughter of the Ruan family, the mourning family looked at that girl was not a simple character, and the queen was shallow, and she actually pushed people out." The Queen Mother said dissatisfiedly: "Yun Yuexi, even if he is ruined, he can't marry King Xuan." ”

"The old slave understands, but Niangniang, the people we sent out have been checking for many years, maybe King Xuan is really not the widow of that person." Mama Chen actually didn't understand that when the Queen Mother saw King Xuan before, she didn't have any special reaction, but after King Xuan shined, her suspicion became more and more serious, and she also had a feeling of not killing King Xuan and vowing not to give up.

"Mama Chen, you have been with the mourning family for many years, and you have experienced a lot of things, have you ever seen the feeling of the mourning family missing?" The Queen Mother has been in the Deep Palace for many years, and there are many times when she has escaped many frames by relying on her instinctive feelings, so when Mama Chen heard the Queen Mother say this, she couldn't help but nod in agreement with her words.

"The mourning family always felt that it was definitely a problem for King Xuan to suddenly become so dazzling, although it cannot be ruled out that he used to disguise himself as a submissive appearance to avoid those assassinations, but the mourning family's heart was uncomfortable, every time they saw him...... Especially those eyes, they can remind the mourning family of the Nine Kings. The Queen Mother pondered for a while before continuing: "Mama Chen, don't you understand a truth in this palace? ”

Chop the grass and eradicate the roots.

Of course, Mama Chen understands this truth, so she did not continue to comfort the Queen Mother, although the emperor's heirs are not prosperous, but they are definitely not inferior to King Xuan, if it can make the Queen Mother feel comfortable, then why keep that person's name?

Just when Mama Chen and the Queen Mother were talking about Ouyang Haoxuan, Concubine Xue and Yun Yuexi had already found a pavilion to sit down, and when the palace maid brought all the refreshments, Concubine Xue said with a smile: "There are really only a handful of people who can make this palace have such a Yaxing, sitting here in the ice and snow and blowing the cold wind." ”

"The folk girl was shocked, thank you for your love." Yun Yuexi said without humility or arrogance: "If the mother suffers from the cold because of this matter, the people's daughter is really a sin. ”

"You're right, but this palace has specially prepared a pot of good tea, if you don't appreciate your face, wouldn't it be a waste?" Concubine Xue waved her hand, motioned to the palace maid to pour tea for Yun Yuexi, and said with a smile: "This is only given by the emperor to this palace, and you can't drink it anywhere else in the palace except here in this palace." ”

"Xie Niangniang." Yun Yuexi picked up the teacup, covered it with her sleeve, a trace of fierceness crossed her eyes, she raised her head and drank the tea, then put down the teacup and said, "It's really good tea!" ”

"This palace thought that you would come with your mother and them, but I didn't expect you to be able to enter the eyes of the eldest emperor, you also know that there are many crises in this palace, you should pay more attention." Concubine Xue poured tea for Yun Yuexi as she spoke, and said with a smile: "This palace and you are the same at first sight, since entering the palace, in addition to pouring tea for the emperor, it is to pour tea for you, you don't have to refute the face of this palace." ”

"The people don't dare!" Yun Yuexi picked up the teacup again and said lightly: "Niangniang's affection, the folk girl should keep it in mind." ”

Concubine Xue put down the teacup and paused slightly, for a moment she always felt that Yun Yuexi had seen through her thoughts, but seeing that she drank the tea without hesitation, she was slightly relieved in her heart, after all, Yun Yuexi was just a girl, how could she be so shrewd?

The two chatted a few more words, and Yun Yuexi got up to say goodbye, and Concubine Xue did not stop her, waving her hand, and motioned to the palace maid to send Yun Yuexi back.

When Yun Yuexi walked away, Liuzhu, the most powerful palace maid beside Concubine Xue, said in a low voice: "Niangniang, if you do this, I am afraid that you will offend His Royal Highness King Xuan at that time." ”

"You have also seen that too many people in this palace hope that something will happen to Yun Yuexi, and even the Queen Mother doesn't want her to be with King Xuan, the palace just invited her to drink a cup of tea, and King Xuan may not be able to find the head of the palace even if he finds someone to settle accounts at that time." Touching the dankou on her nails, Concubine Xue said lightly: "The Li family is willing to take 10,000 taels to buy Yun Yuexi's life, why not do it?" ”

Liu Zhu didn't speak, but the secret meeting between the Li family and the Snow Concubine Niangniang came to his mind.

On that day, when the Li family saw Concubine Xue, they didn't say the slightest greeting, so they asked Concubine Xue to deal with Yun Yuexi.

"Mrs. Yun, an orphan girl who has no mother, you can even ask to come to this palace?" To be honest, Concubine Xue doesn't have a good impression of the Li family, the daughter of a merchant, but she married Yun Yi, so she had the opportunity to help the Yuanguo Mansion, but if she wants her to miss the old love, don't even think about it, she can get to this point, she climbed up step by step on her own, and it has nothing to do with anyone.

"Niangniang doesn't know, Yun Yuexi is a very shrewd person, the courtiers have been resolved by her many times, and she also let her take advantage of the loophole to harm Rou'er, so the courtiers will ask for Niangniang, Niangniang, the courtiers are willing to buy Yun Yuexi's life with 10,000 taels." Li spoke viciously.

"Ten thousand taels?" Concubine Xue's heart moved, but she didn't agree immediately, of course she could see that the Li family seemed to have a deep hatred for Yun Yuexi, and it was about to go to the New Year's Palace banquet, as long as Yun Yuexi entered the palace, then it couldn't be easier to deal with a powerless woman in this palace.

Don't look at her as a noble concubine, but there are not many silver taels available in her hand, and 10,000 taels is not worth mentioning at all for those things rewarded by the emperor, but for her to take care of the palace people, it can be used for at least a long time.

It's just that of course she won't agree to the Li family so easily, if she wants her to do things, can't she just take some silver taels?

Seeing Concubine Xue drinking tea expressionlessly, Li gritted her teeth and said: "As long as Niangniang can help the courtiers get rid of Yunyuexi, then in the future, the courtiers and Rou'er will only be the first to see the concubine!" ”

"Since Mrs. Yun wants to get rid of Yun Yuexi so much, then Bengong Nian will always help in our relationship." Concubine Xue removed the calculation in her eyebrows, and said lightly: "This matter has been recorded in the palace, you go back first!" ”

When Li left, she left the silver ticket, although she lost her stewardship, she still had some silver, in order to deal with Yun Yuexi, it was also a bit of a concession.

Thinking of this, Liuzhu still said a little nervously: "Niangniang, the slave maid still thinks something is wrong, why don't the slave maid go over and take a look?" ”

"Liuzhu, when did you become so timid, don't worry, it'll be fine." Concubine Xue got up and said to Liuzhu, "Dispose of all these things, remember not to leave traces." ”

"Yes, sissy." I don't know why, Liu Zhu's heart was beating suddenly, and she always felt uneasy, but Concubine Xue didn't take it seriously, and she could only obey her master's arrangement.

On the other side, Yun Yuexi followed the two little palace maids more and more remotely, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Two sisters, where are you going to take Yuexi?" ”

"Of course, it's to take the girl back to the palace of the eldest emperor, it doesn't matter if the girl doesn't know the way, just follow the slave and maid." The little palace maid turned her head to answer, looked at Yun Yuexi again, and said with a flash of light in her eyes: "Why is the girl pale, is she uncomfortable?" ”
