When they arrived in the main courtyard of the Xiao Mansion, the concubines consciously knelt on the ground and said in unison to the main hall: "The concubine respectfully invites the queen to return to the palace - the concubine respectfully invites the queen to return to the palace-"

Xiao Jianzhang pointed to the closed sandalwood door of the main hall and said to Huo Jingcheng: "Your Majesty, the queen has prepared tea inside, please let Your Majesty go in alone." ”

Huo Jingcheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped inside.

Xiao Jianzhang turned around and saluted the concubines and concubines, and said, "It is the luck of my Xiao family to be so supported by all the mothers. I also ask all the ladies to follow Xiao to the courtyard next door to rest and drink tea, so that Xiao can be entertained. Please! ”

While being polite, the concubines were led by Xiao Jianzhang to the courtyard next to them and sat down in the spacious main hall. The maid hurriedly shuttled and served refreshments and fragrant fruits.

This situation is inexplicably familiar. It's like the scene where everyone saves time in Fenghuan Palace in the morning and dusk. But for now, the main seat on the steps was empty.

Concubine Shu saw Xiao Jianzhang retreating, shook her fan and said, "Sisters, there is a drama in this palace today, and the queen is willing to see Your Majesty." ”

Xu Huanyan smiled and agreed: "What Concubine Shu said is true." ”

At this end, Wei Yanran suddenly looked at the quiet Lin Guiren and asked, "I don't know what kind of incense Lin Guiren uses, it smells so good." ”

Yao Duran looked at Wei Yanran, a doting smile flashed in her eyes, and she said in her heart that she was really jealous and hateful. Everyone has fallen out of favor, and they still pursue what the fragrance is doing?

At this end, Lin Guiren slowly looked sideways at her, and smiled: "Sister Wei misunderstood, my fragrance is not caused by incense, but gouache." If Sister Wei likes it, I will have someone send a few boxes to Sister Wei when I return to the palace. ”

Wei Yanran smiled: "Okay, thank you Sister Lin." After that, he secretly looked at Yao Duran. At this moment, the two of them understood in their hearts, and they were both puzzled by Lin Guiren's calmness, so it seems that her fragrance is no longer a ghost?

Concubine Shu suddenly looked at Ning Wanshu again and said, "I heard that Ning Zhaoyi committed suicide by hanging a beam last night?" Makes Your Majesty anxious? ”

Ning Zhaoyi was calm and fiddling with the floating leaves in the teacup, and her tone was light: "Yes, thank you Concubine Shu for your concern." When the concubine visited the imperial garden last night, there happened to be a gust of wind, which blew the gossip of those who wanted to meet His Majesty into the ears of the concubine. ”

As soon as she said this, several concubines in the seat who usually did not show their faces hung their heads weakly.

Concubine Shu snorted coldly: "Ning Zhaoyi, don't be careful, with all due respect, when will you really ease your mood?" You either kill or commit suicide, according to this palace, I am afraid that your heart disease will not be cured, after all, this leg injury is a lifetime, and there will never be a good day. ”

Concubine Shu's words were extremely unkind, and she unscrupulously dug up Ning Wanshu's scar.

But Ning Zhaoyi was not annoyed after hearing this, she actually smiled and looked at her gently: "It's okay, living in this harem, who hasn't had a little heart disease?" The concubine is still in the blessing, and His Majesty has mercy. But if you live as the waste concubine Yu, in the cold palace, your heart is tormented, and even the good sisters of the past do not help each other, then you really live not as good as a dog. ”

"You!!" Concubine Shu slapped the fan on the table, and her pretty face changed color.

Yao Duran watched the two of them dig each other's scars, and said in her heart that this concubine just shouldn't get together, it's fine, one person and one palace have their own lives, but when they see it, they fight like the black-eyed chicken.

At this time, Concubine Jing beside her quietly leaned into her ear and said, "Sister still doesn't know, right?" The Gong E that Ning Zhaoyi killed with a cane happened to be the person arranged by Concubine Shu in the imperial dining room. ”

Yao Duran finally came to his senses.

At this end, Ning Wanshuyun drank tea with a light smile, neither answering nor ignoring Concubine Shu's anger. However, Xu Huanyan saw that Concubine Shu was angry, and carefully persuaded: "Concubine Shu is angry......

Concubine Shu scolded violently: "What kind of anger? What anger can Hongu have? Ning Zhaoyi can recruit Your Majesty, but you, a big girl who is as healthy as a flower, can't recruit Your Majesty, why are you not angry with me? ”

Xu Huanyan was stunned by her fierceness, and responded in a weak voice: "What Niangniang said is that the concubine knows her mistake." With that, he lowered his head and secretly wiped away his tears.

The concubines present all looked at each other, and everyone saw that Xu Huanyan was not doing well in Concubine Shu's palace? In front of so many people, Concubine Shu can carry a gun and a stick to her, let alone in private.

Concubine Jing couldn't stand the miasma of smoke here, so she quickly got up and walked out, and said, "Sister Concubine Chen, I just saw a very beautiful flower in the courtyard, let's come out and take a look." ”

"Okay." Yao Duran put down the teacup and got up and went out.

Concubine Jing waited for her to come up, took her hand and walked to the flower garden, and said, "Sister Concubine Chen, my sister has a whisper here, I will listen to you at this moment, do you have to remember it firmly?" ”

Seeing that she was suddenly so unfathomable, Yao Duran couldn't help but look at her: "What does my sister want to say?" My sister listened attentively. ”

Concubine Jing smiled lightly and whispered in her ear.

After some secret words, Yao Duran's face turned a little colder: "I see! I knew there was something wrong with that! She's not a fuel-efficient lamp! ”

Concubine Jing smiled and said nothing, and a pair of beautiful eyes flowed among the colorful flowers.

There are many people on the side of the concubines, and there is a lot of commotion. And the courtyard where the emperor and queen were next door was very quiet.

In the spacious welcome flower hall, the fragrance of tea is lingering. After Huo Jingcheng came in, he closed the door and looked at the plain white figure on the long couch in front of the window.

In just a few days, the queen was already thin and haggard, wearing a plain dress, the queen of the queen, the majesty of the mother of the country, the whole person was clean, simple and plain, but like a friendly and beautiful woman next door.

Huo Jingcheng was stunned, he had never seen her like this, even when she gave birth to Yi Zheng in the past year, she had never been so simple.

"Your Majesty is here." The queen didn't raise her eyes, poured herself tea, and pushed it to the opposite position.

Huo Jingcheng came back to his senses, walked slowly and sat down opposite her, looked at her and said, "Jianxian, your temperament should be over, right?" ”

The queen raised her eyes sharply and asked aggressively: "Angry? Why does Your Majesty think that the loss of my father is just a gas word? ”

Huo Jingcheng lowered his eyes and exhaled a breath, his voice full of helplessness: "Farewell to the death of relatives, it is not a gas word to describe." But what I'm talking about is between you and me. ”

The queen cut her teeth word by word: "Between you and me, it's not a gas word to describe!" I said, I hate you! ”

Huo Jingcheng listened, full of distress and overwhelmed. He raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose and exhaled softly, as if pressing.

Finally, he calmed down, looked up and said, "So what do you want?" I have already sealed your brother, and your son is also the future monarch, I am a husband and a gentleman who put down his face and ask the queen to return to the palace, are you still dissatisfied? ”

The queen sneered: "My biggest dissatisfaction, Your Majesty knows it in your heart!" ”

Huo Jingcheng suddenly got up and paced slowly, and finally said, "You don't allow Concubine Chen anymore, right?" You're going to force me to abandon her, aren't you? ”

Seeing that he had made it clear, the queen said calmly: "Yes!" Concubine Chen is a curse! harmed the officials, harmed the Xiao family, and almost killed His Majesty! My father was not killed by her, but he died because of her! Tracing back to the source, where did her assassination come from? Isn't it that she was arrogant and arrogant, Gu Gong rules pretended to pass on the message, and left the palace to go to the Yuan Mansion! Such a pampered concubine is not a disaster! Your Majesty! I dare ask you! If it weren't Concubine Chen who was assassinated this time, but someone else, Your Majesty would still torture it with such fanfare and ask if even my Xiao family was involved! No! It's only because it's Concubine Chen that Your Majesty is so angry! In the past three dynasties, there has not been a single case of dozens of officials being imprisoned all together! In the past, I endured a small fight with my concubines, but now because she is making a big fuss, if she continues like this, Your Majesty will lose her wisdom sooner or later! ”

"Huh...... Hehehe......" Huo Jingcheng laughed suddenly, one by one, low and unhurried, but the look on his face was unspeakably miserable.

The queen was suddenly disturbed by his laughter, and asked, "What is Your Majesty laughing at?!" ”

Huo Jingcheng faced her and said with a smile: "Hehehe...... Xiao Jianxian, I really think you are virtuous, and now it seems that how is it different from those ordinary people? You are so confused, blaming her for this, and resolutely not allowing her anymore? But I tell you, Concubine Chen's innocence is all in my heart! She is innocent in every way! As a favorite concubine, she is already peaceful and loyal enough! She is worthy of you Xiao Jianxian! ”

"I can't stop Youyou's mouth, so anyone in the world can comment on her! But no one wants to touch her! Including you Xiao Jianxian! ”

"Hehehe......" The queen also laughed bitterly when she heard it: "Look, when it comes to Concubine Chen, Your Majesty is so excited!" Haha, good, good, the concubine is not a virtuous queen, she is the only one in this world! Then Your Majesty, please go back! My father is newly mourned, and I dare not stay in an unlucky place! Your Majesty will go slowly, and the concubines will not be sent! ”

The queen ordered the expulsion, and the war between the two increased sharply! Huo Jingcheng was furious, and said sharply: "Xiao Jianxian! Today, I will be reasonable with you, if Concubine Chen is really a traitorous concubine, if I still want to protect each other like this, then I am deaf, I am sorry for the ancestors of the Huo family and sorry for your Xiao family! But Concubine Chen is innocent and kind-hearted, so what happened to me protecting her?! The palace is resting there, do you want to go back! The wise woman in this world is not your Xiao Jianxian! If I leave you, even if you marry a stubborn stone, you can still carve her into beautiful jade! ”

The queen looked at him in front of her like a lion and was furious, and was deeply shocked. After the shock, the blood rushed and drove her crazy.

"Huo Jingcheng!! I hate you!! As she spoke, the queen grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it at him!

Huo Jingcheng's eyes are fast, and stretching out his arm is a block! I only heard a "bang", and the tea cup smashed on his arm, and then fell to the ground and shattered in a loud bang!

There was a tingling pain in the arm, it should have been burned. The slightest pain shattered the last bit of his sanity!

He hurried towards her, and the queen saw him coming, with a handsome face and a cold air, and a tall figure seemed to have swept away a gale, which made her stunned: "What? Are you going to do it to me again?! ”
