Kunning Palace, Xinyu is serving on the queen's side, and today the emperor is here, and they, the subordinates, finally saw the queen's mother smile sincerely.

"The emperor likes today's dishes, so you might as well use more." The queen smiled and served the emperor with vegetables: "This quail has good meat quality and is extremely fragrant." ”

The emperor suddenly remembered the porridge and side dishes made by Huaying of Yuqing Pavilion in Jingyang Palace, which had a different taste, and thought about it: "Queen, you have been dealing with harem affairs for so many years, even if you have Concubine Ling and Concubine Jiang to help assist in the Sixth Palace, will you be tired?"

Originally, the atmosphere was good, but the emperor came to such a sentence coldly, which made the queen, who regarded the power of the harem as her life, secretly excited, and said without much hesitation: "Your Majesty, the concubine is the mother of the country, and managing the harem is the duty of the concubine itself, so how can there be anything tiring?"

The emperor was a little dissatisfied in his heart, since he said this, with the queen's brain, he naturally understood the answer he wanted, but he still denied it: "The queen is virtuous, it's just that I see that Concubine Yun is happy, and I want to canonize her as a concubine, and I can also help you share the affairs of the six palaces, so I asked, what do you think?"

Sure enough, for this matter, Xinyu's face changed beside him, and he only heard his master say: "The emperor is too worried, the concubine has Concubine Ling's sister Jiang to help her, it's too late to relax, and you don't have to worry about concubine." Besides, Concubine Yun's sister is young, and she is raised by her fifth elder brother, and now she is pregnant, if she is a concubine at this moment, the assistant harem is estimated to be tired of Concubine Yun's sister, which has to pay for the loss. ”

"If the emperor really wants to seal Concubine Yun's sister as a concubine, he can wait for the child to be born and think about it, so rashly sealing the concubine, I'm afraid it will also put a lot of pressure on Concubine Yun, and it's not good to hurt the dragon fetus." The Empress did know what the Emperor meant, but she knew the importance of power.

After listening to the queen's words, although the emperor was unhappy, he also felt that there was some reason, and remembered that when Hua Ying was still a nobleman, he wanted to be so reluctant to be promoted, and he could only give up in his heart, thinking that Hua Ying would make a decision after giving birth to a child in the future: "What the queen said is reasonable, I still have some government affairs to be busy, so I won't spend the night in Kunning Palace." ”

Saying that the emperor got up to leave, the queen couldn't help but reflexively grabbed his sleeve: "I just had dinner, the emperor doesn't spend the night here, you can also sit in Kunning Palace for a while, and the concubine asked people to make tea for the emperor." ”

"No, let's do it another day, I still have a lot of government affairs to deal with." The emperor smiled, extraordinarily perfunctory, pushed her hand away and walked out of the door, and the queen could no longer continue to stop her.

The queen only looked at her hands in a daze, as if she didn't react, and Xinyu felt very distressed when she watched it from the side.

"Niangniang, the emperor may really have something to do, don't be too sad."

"There is nothing sad about this palace." The queen regained her composure, she just thought that when she was still in the palace, the emperor was so gentle to herself, but now she didn't want to listen to herself say a word more: "Concubine Yun is happy again, the palace can persuade once, may not be persuaded a second time, since she wants to be a concubine sooner or later, we must also make plans early."

"Then why should the lady dissuade her?" Xinyu was puzzled.

"It's just delaying time, there are other things to do in this palace."

"Niangniang is smart, the slave has already told Yao'er in person about what Niangniang told Yao'er last time, Niangniang doesn't have to worry." Xinyu naturally trusts the queen and will not do anything harmful to her own interests, but she is worried that the queen and the emperor will be more separated: "Niangniang also understands the emperor, so don't often work against the emperor." ”

"If this palace says that today, it is helpless." As long as she is still the queen, the emperor will be more tolerant of her, even if she is sometimes dissatisfied with herself, and because of the face of the lord of her six palaces, she will turn a blind eye.

Shun Guiren rushed to Jingyang Palace to find Hua Ying one day when the weather was fine, Hua Ying was just disgusted because she smelled incense, retching but couldn't vomit anything, it was very uncomfortable, Lan Yu hurriedly threw out the whole piece of incense, and took mint grass to disperse the taste.

Seeing her like this, Shun Guiren was naturally not at ease: "Why is my sister so uncomfortable this time?" It wasn't like this when I saw that you were pregnant with Fifth Elder Brother, do you need to find Imperial Doctor Jia to take a look? If it goes on like this, the food will not be used well, the sleep will not be able to sleep steadily, and the body will not be able to stand it. ”

Hua Ying waved her hand a little weakly: "I have asked him to come a long time ago, I just said that it is normal during pregnancy, and the reaction of each child and each child is different, this time it is just unlucky to be pregnant with a troublesome child." ”

Hua Ying wiped her mouth with the handkerchief she brought from Huixin again, rinsed her mouth, and saw that Shun Guiren was still so worried, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, after Shun Guiren knew that she was pregnant again, she couldn't wait to run to Hua Ying's palace every day: "You don't have a sad face to show me, what do you have to say to me when you come to me today?"

"I didn't expect my sister to remember that I liked to welcome the Spring Festival that day, and I asked someone to send it over, and a group of eunuchs from the flower house came to my palace that day, and I thought something was wrong." Shun Guiren knew that Hua Ying was comforting her and telling her not to worry, so she went on and said: "Although the spring is about to fall now, I asked the bamboo lotus to cut a few branches of the past Yingchun branches that I still saw, and came to show my sister." ”

"It's good if you like it, this spring festival is indeed worthy of you." Hua Ying looked at the flower branch held by Zhu He: "Qingxu, help Zhu He find a vase, insert Yingchun into it, put some water, it is estimated that he can live for two more days." ”

"Naturally, I like it a lot." Shun Guiren showed a childlike smile, thinking of the budding flowers and bones in front of his yard, and the small clusters of soft petals that have bloomed, and he was even more happy: "Sister doesn't know, although the spring is not valuable, but it is really good-looking, and when my sister gives birth to the child safely, you can go to my palace to see the spring flowers in the next year." ”

"Okay, I'll make a note of it." Hua Ying saw that there was only a little bit of sparse flowers on her head, and her brows frowned: "Why are you dressed more and more light, but you can't even compare to the jewelry of some palace maids." ”

Shun Guiren touched his hair and said embarrassedly: "It's just that I'm in a hurry to see my sister today, and I have less time to dress up, which makes my sister smile, and my sister also knows that I don't like those." ”

Hua Ying is so smart, even if she doesn't usually care, but in the harem, she still has to have what she should have, so she immediately called Zhuhe beside her: "Tell me, your little master is being bullied?"

Zhuhe glanced at his little master, and couldn't help but open his mouth: "Our little lord hasn't even seen the emperor's face in the past two or three months, and the internal affairs office has been somewhat sluggish. ”

"No wonder I saw you coming in wearing a winter velvet collar." Hua Ying had seen that something was wrong earlier, but she didn't speak, Zhuhe's clothes looked out of place, and now that it's hot, the coat is still suitable for early winter.

Zhuhe said again: "We subordinates are naturally looked down upon by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the little master is kind-hearted, and he can't bear to see us being neglected, so he rewarded his share of silver to the people of the Shangyi Bureau, telling them to hurry up, but they are not yet accurate." ”

Qingxu was also a little unfair when he heard it: "The spring clothes were made early, and they were sent down as soon as the time came. ”

Besides, the frequency of Shun Guiren's original meeting with the emperor was not much, but it was not less, and he was often summoned by the emperor last summer, but recently the emperor favored Hua Ying, because Hua Ying couldn't sleep, so he went to Xuan Guiren Xiang Chang where he was, but this favor was only a matter of time, Shun Guiren was playful and cute, and the family was also medium, the emperor couldn't keep her behind, but it was a little less favored for a while, Hua Ying didn't believe it, these minions were so fat?

"I heard that Concubine Jiang Niangniang is the assistant of the Sixth Palace, and one of her duties and powers is to manage the Shangyi Bureau, I am afraid that with her relationship in it, these minions are so bold." Cozy whispered to them.

"Whether it's Concubine Jiang or Concubine Ling, they can't treat the concubines who serve the emperor like this." It turns out that this is the case, it is precisely because there are people behind them, these talents from the Shangyi Bureau are so bold, Concubine Jiang will be recruited to the banner, her arrogance has risen again, and she has no deal with them, Concubine Xiu is the head of the first palace, Hua Ying She is even more helpless, she only picks up the Shun nobles to get angry, and the Shun nobles also threatened Concubine Jiang with the reputation of the eldest brother before.

"Yu Guiren's side was originally like this, but Yu Guiren was so angry that he directly ignored it, how to live and how to live." Zhuhe continued: "It's just that our little master can't get over it in his heart, and he feels that he has wronged us subordinates, and the little lord is kind and lenient to his subordinates, and we are also unhappy for the little master." ”

"Ming'er, it's good for you to treat the people in your palace so sincerely, but you have to learn to think about ideas in the future, and if you keep going like this, you won't have a trick to deal with it."

Hua Ying patted Shun Guiren's hand, and Shun Gui said: "I understand, I won't let people bully me at will in the future, but at the moment, I really don't know how to be good, seeing that you are uncomfortable with the dragon and don't want to bother you, the queen will probably not care, and it is inconvenient to tell the emperor about such a trivial matter." ”

"Sister Xiu doesn't know your situation? You live in the same palace, and she can help you a little. ”

"Sister Xiu Concubine has also been-for-tat with Concubine Jiang recently, and she is probably too busy to take care of herself, so she doesn't care about my affairs." Shun Guiren shook his head: "I was thinking of enduring the calm for a while, but who knew that they would be even more violent." ”

"Silly Ming'er, you are the master, they are slaves, how can you bear it?" Don't care if Concubine Jiang is not Concubine Jiang, the Shangyi Bureau is all minions, so bold, see if she doesn't teach these people who look down on people in the eyes of the dog: "In this case, today my sister will teach you how to treat these minions who do not fulfill their duties." ”

"Go to the Shangyi Bureau!"
