Ling Xi walked quickly into the inner hall of Yixiang Palace, only to see the queen mother sitting majestically on the main seat of the inner hall, her expression was very solemn, and the people in the harem were already sitting on both sides, Wang Shuyue's eyes were still a little red, it was obvious that she had just cried, Ling Xi looked around, did not see Feng Ying, it seems that Wang Shuyue's reddish eyes, I am afraid that she is crying and swollen for Feng Yingying.

"The concubine has asked the Queen Mother to say goodbye." Ling Xi respectfully saluted the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother picked up the tea bowl in her hand and took a leisurely sip, she glanced at Ling Xi and said slowly: "The queen is exempt, Mama Qin will serve tea to the queen." ”

Ling Xi had just taken a seat beside the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother said faintly: "Empress, I heard that Your Majesty was called to Xiyan Palace by Mrs. Hua last night, is this true?" ”

Ling Xi was shocked, there were really no secrets in the harem, early in the morning, the entire harem knew that Xiang Hongxuan was called away by Feng Yuying last night, at this moment Ling Xi didn't know whether to be happy or worried?

"Queen Mother, it seems that Mrs. Hua was ill last night, so Your Majesty will go to visit."

"There are more uncomfortable women in this harem, if Your Majesty goes to visit, Your Majesty must not die of exhaustion, the queen's bedroom can't keep Your Majesty, who in this harem can keep Your Majesty?" The Queen Mother still said in this amiable tone, but Ling Xi was so frightened that she immediately got up and knelt down in front of the Queen Mother.

"The Queen Mother, the blame is that the concubines did not manage the harem well." Ling Xi replied cautiously to the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother didn't seem to care about Ling Xi's answer.

"Does the queen know what Mrs. Hua's illness is?" The Queen Mother asked nonchalantly.

"The concubine hasn't had time to send someone to Xiyan Palace to have a look, and the concubine will go to Xiyan Palace to visit Mrs. Hua in person soon, and then come to the Queen Mother."

"No need, the queen is waiting in peace of mind at the mourning family, the mourning family has already sent someone to visit Mrs. Hua in Xiyan Palace, let's see what kind of illness Mrs. Hua has, if someone invites favor under the pretext of illness, the queen must also show the majesty of the queen, otherwise this harem will be messed up."

The Queen Mother's face leaked a little anger, Ling Xi couldn't help but sigh, being Xiang Hongxuan's favored concubine, it seems that this favored concubine's life is not easy, and she, the mother of the main palace, is not the same.

After a while, Mama Qin walked into the inner hall with some hurried steps, she glanced at Wang Shuyue, and her expression was a little strange.

"Mama Qin, what kind of illness does Mrs. Hua have?" The Queen Mother said slowly.

"Queen Mother, Mrs. Hua is fine, but Mrs. Hua is happy." Mama Qin whispered, but all the harem women present heard it very clearly.

"Really?" The Queen Mother stepped down from the throne excitedly, and she took a few steps closer to Mama Qin.

"Have the doctors seen it? Is Mrs. Hua really pregnant? ”

"Queen Mother, last night, His Majesty called the doctors of the Tai Hospital to Xiyan Palace overnight, and the Tai Doctors of the four hospitals have all been diagnosed, and Mrs. Hua is indeed two months pregnant." Mama Qin said categorically.

"Your Majesty has a queen, and the mourning family has a grandson." The Queen Mother laughed happily, her weak body was a little struggling, and she was swaying from side to side excitedly, and Mama Qin hurriedly stepped forward to support the Queen Mother and helped her to the main seat.

"Reward, the palace people of Xiyan Palace will reward double monthly money, and take all the supplements in the Mourning Palace to the Xiyan Palace, and tell Mrs. Hua to take care of the fetus well, and after giving birth to the prince, the Mourning family will reward him heavily."

Wang Shuyue's face was even more ugly, originally she made a big fuss about the Queen Mother pretending to be sick and making a big fuss about Feng Yingying's temper, but she didn't expect to wait for the happy event of Feng Yingying's pregnancy, she was unwilling, she still lost to Feng Yingying.

"Queen Mother, Mrs. Hua was rude yesterday, so forget it." Wang Shuyue asked indignantly.

The Queen Mother, who was still happy just now, suddenly became a little embarrassed, she thought for a while, and said faintly: "Since Mrs. Hua is pregnant, yesterday's incident is reasonable, but Mrs. Hua is still a little disrespectful to the queen, and the rewards will be waived, and no one is allowed to mention yesterday's events in the future." If you are tired, you all should step down. ”

Ling Xi couldn't wait to leave the place of right and wrong in Yixiang Palace as soon as possible, she immediately got up to say goodbye to the Queen Mother, and walked out of Yixiang Palace quickly.

Ling Xi, who came out of Yixiang Palace, walked on the green path of the West Courtyard, the morning breeze of early autumn blew in gusts, with the golden cinnamon fragrance in full bloom in the West Courtyard, in this refreshing situation, Ling Xi was surrounded by the fragrance of flowers, she couldn't help but slow down, and a smile leaked on her face, she hadn't been so leisurely for a long time.

Ginkgo waved her hand, signaling that the palace people in the Jiaofang Hall behind Ling Xi were all waiting in place, and she followed closely behind Ling Xi and walked leisurely with her.

"Queen, can you still laugh? Mrs. Hua is happy, in the future, in this harem, I'm afraid you won't even have a place to stand. Ginkgo said with some dissatisfaction.

"It's a big deal to stay in the Jiaofang Palace, it's not that I haven't stayed, seriously, it's better to close the door in the Jiaofang Palace, at least now you can enjoy the flowers and wine in the backyard, how can you be so sad."

"Don't say it, I'm scared to death today, look at the posture of the Queen Mother, today I plan to punish Mrs. Hua, but why did the Queen Mother change the direction of the wind, didn't you see it, Mrs. Wang's face stinks, and she almost cries."

"Your Majesty has been in power for six or seven years, and now there are no heirs under your knees, and there is no prince in the country, which will inevitably affect Your Majesty's imperial power. Although His Majesty is still young, but if an heir is born earlier, His Majesty's country will be more stable, the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother of Dongyu first, and then the daughter of the Wang family, Your Majesty has an heir, the Queen Mother will definitely be ecstatic, if it is not for Mrs. Wang's feelings, I am afraid that she would have been impatient to visit Mrs. Hua. ”

"Queen Mother, this is Your Majesty's first child, whether male or female, it means a lot to Your Majesty, I am afraid that Mrs. Hua will be even more pampered and proud in the future."

"Even if there is no such child, Mrs. Hua has such a peerless beauty, she will continue to be spoiled, don't worry, Your Majesty is a shrewd emperor, the queen of this palace is still useful to him, he will not abolish this palace in order to favor the concubine." Besides, this palace has no fault, is he wasted? It's a big deal that I don't want to see you for the rest of my life, so I just hide in the Jiaofang Hall and be at ease. ”

"The queen's heart is really big."

Ling Xi sighed, she sneered, "Ginkgo, this palace is not a big heart, but from the moment you enter the palace, the heart of this palace is already dead, and Your Majesty's harem is not so easy to treat, only by holding the position of this queen, this palace feels that her life is worth losing, and Your Majesty's favor is not extravagant or interested." Ling Xi said lightly, a gust of wind came, but Ling Xi's heart couldn't set off the slightest ripple.

Suddenly, Ling Xi stopped, and she looked carefully not far away, as if Wang Shuyue was walking towards her.

"Queen Mother, it turns out that you also like this golden cinnamon, there are a lot of such golden cinnamon planted in the concubine's haunting palace, it is better for the queen to sit in the palace of the concubine, and the concubine will accompany you to enjoy the flowers and drink tea." Wang Shuyue said respectfully.

"Mrs. Wang has a heart, the palace is idle and has nothing to do to take a walk under the golden laurel tree, today the palace is also a little tired, just go back to the Jiaofang Palace first, next time, next time there is a chance that the palace will go to Mrs. Wang's Haunting Palace to sit."

Ling Xi was just about to turn around and leave, but Wang Shuyue walked quickly in front of Ling Xi, blocking her way.

"Queen Mother, are you tired, or are you angry with Mrs. Hua's rudeness?" Wang Shuyue said without giving up.

Ling Xi couldn't help but sneer, it is estimated that this Wang Shuyue did not cry at the Queen Mother just now, and came here to fan the flames.

"How did Mrs. Wang say this, how could this palace be so stingy, not to mention that Mrs. Hua is pregnant now, and it is natural to be a little hypocritical, everyone should be humble to Mrs. Hua."

"The queen mother, you are generous, but Mrs. Hua may not be grateful, she is a princess in a foreign country, if she gives birth to a prince and has the sole favor of His Majesty, I am afraid that the queen mother will also be struggling in the future." Wang Shuyue said tentatively, she didn't believe that Ling Xi would not be worried, once Feng Yuying gave birth to a prince, Ling Xi's future position was estimated to be unstable. As long as Ling Xi has any scruples, then her chance will come. Of course, she is also worried about Ling Xi's posteriority, but now her biggest enemy is not the unfavored Ling Xi, she can temporarily join forces with Ling Xi, solve Feng Yingying first, and then talk about the future.

"This palace is the mother of the main palace, if you don't have this tolerance, how will you dominate the harem in the future, Mrs. Wang, are you right?"

Ling Xi's words were like a slap in the face, which made Wang Shuyue embarrassed. Originally, Wang Shuyue thought that Ling Xi would see the situation clearly and join forces with her, but now it seems that Ling Xi may not be as smart as she imagined, at least she will not judge the situation.

"The queen mother is right, the concubine remembers the mother's teachings, and the concubine will not disturb the queen mother to enjoy the flowers." After saying that, Wang Shuyue blessed Ling Xi, and then turned around and left.

"Xiuzhu," Ling Xi called out to Xiuzhu in the distance, and she hurriedly trotted in front of Ling Xi.

"You take a few bottles of osmanthus brew and send them to Mrs. Wang's Haunting Palace." Ling Xi told Xiuzhu, and after Xiuzhu received the order, she walked quickly towards the Jiaofang Palace, but Xiuzhu's face was full of sadness, as if she had something on her mind.

"What's wrong with Xiuzhu, she seems to be a little unhappy." Ling Xi asked Ginkgo.

"She, she was recently teased by the palace people in Jiaofang Palace, everyone was ridiculing her, jokingly calling her a mother, and making fun of her behind her back, saying that she was a woman who was left behind by His Majesty, and that she had the body of a mother, the life of a palace maid. There are all kinds of ugly words. Ginkgo whispered.

"Xiuzhu is really unlucky, just one step away, she can become a harem mother, but unfortunately she is unlucky, just in time for Mrs. Hua to become pregnant, Your Majesty is afraid that she will not be able to remember her for a while."

"Don't worry about her, just now I saw Mrs. Wang leave very unhappily. It's not good for you to lose face to her like this. After all, there is still the Queen Mother behind her. ”

"Then you think that this palace has given her face, she doesn't care about the back position of this palace, they are all unconscious foxes, this palace can still be polite to her, don't worry, she can't take care of this palace now, she should lose her head, and try her best to take advantage of Mrs. Hua's pregnancy, desperately competing for favor."
