"Why did she come?" Wen Jiayi muttered quietly. She heard that the poison on Yifang's body had just been cured, and now she should have been weak, why did she suddenly come to the queen's palace?

"Let her in!" Although the queen had a little doubt about Yifang before, she still couldn't show it in front of people, so she still treated her as kind as usual.

"The concubine visits the queen." Yifang saluted the queen in a regular manner, and then glanced at Wen Jiayi, who was sitting on the side.

If it was in normal times, Wen Jiayi was just a hasty greeting, but now in front of the queen, although the position of the lover and the beauty is only one level apart, the etiquette is still unforgettable. She got up and bowed to Yifang obediently.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and Yue Liang has become more and more sensible, and she has never done such a great gift before." Yifang pretended to be joking and said a word to her, Wen Jiayi immediately turned his head to look at the queen's face, but fortunately he didn't have any dissatisfaction with her.

"Queen Niangniang, a few days ago, the concubine couldn't get up in illness, I heard that Niangniang went to see the concubine during that period, and she didn't come to thank her until now, it's really not the concubine." Yifang explained the intention, and the queen gave the seat by the way.

Since Yifang has decided not to hide in the Guangyang Palace anymore, the enemy is not just Madame Yu, compared to her, Wen Jiayi is more like a strong opponent. In the face of such an opponent who loves to make tricks, he still has to strike first.

The queen's seat did not specify where she would sit, and Yifang walked in front of Wen Jiayi, where she was sitting at the bottom of the queen's throne. If Yifang didn't come, such a position would naturally be understandable, but now that she is here, her position is one level higher than Wen Jiayi, so she naturally wants to sit in front. If it was usual, the concubines who came late would have a higher status, and they would sit like this as appropriate, but today Yi Fangbiao was standing in front of her.

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed on Wen Jiayi's face, but then he covered up this emotion. She glanced at the queen, and then got up: "Seeing that the concubines have forgotten about this, the sister of Su Meiren has a higher position, so naturally the concubine wants to give up this position." ”

"I heard that Yue Liang has always understood the rules, and now I see that it is true." Yifang didn't shirk it, and answered according to her words, and then sat directly in her original position.

"The concubine came to visit the queen today, she brought some hometown gadgets over, I wonder if Su Mei brought anything to the queen? If you bring it, let your sister open her eyes too! Wen Jia intended to provoke love, and at this time, he saw Teng Ling beside Yifang holding a brocade box in his hand, so he wanted to make a fuss about it.

"The queen's mother, the concubine's gift may not be as good as the beloved, but it must be the queen's favorite." Yifang smiled at the queen.

"Really? The plain beauty is so considerate, she knows the queen's preferences? ”

"The concubine didn't know, but she often heard the king mention it." Yifang ordered Tengling to present the brocade box, "This is not actually a concubine to the queen, but the king's meaning." It's just that the king has been busy with government affairs recently, so he entrusted a concubine to the queen. ”

"This is what the king prepared?" The queen took out the jade Ruyi from the brocade box, and the affection on her face could not be contained.

Yifang actually didn't know her preferences, and this jade Ruyi had nothing to do with Liu Heng, but according to this statement, she would be able to please her in the future. It's just a jade Ruyi, and no one will find out if it was given by Liu Heng in the future, so Yifang boldly told the queen like this.

"The king is still thinking about what I like." The queen's face was full of joy, and Yifang knew that she had made the right bet.

Wen Jiayi originally felt that he had offered so many rare things, but Yifang only took such a brocade box, it stands to reason that she should be compared to her, but she didn't expect it to be like this. This time, she lifted a stone and hit herself in the foot, and now she doesn't take the initiative to speak, for fear that she will say too much and make a mistake.

"Queen Niangniang, the concubine not only brought a gift for Niangniang this time, but also brought some things for the second prince." Yifang didn't know that Wen Jiayi had already stirred up trouble in front of the queen before, so he took out the things for the second prince directly, "These are all good paper and pencils, the second prince is practicing calligraphy now, and it is best to use these." ”

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the look on the queen's face was not very good-looking, and the joy that had been hooked by the jade Ruyi before disappeared. Yifang noticed such a change, and felt surprised in his heart, but he didn't know what he said wrong, causing the queen to do so.

Wen Jiayi originally thought that he had been defeated, but he didn't expect Yifang to suddenly mention the second prince, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the corners of his mouth also brought a little smile.

"You're bothered." After a while, the queen instructed her maidservants to take the pen and paper.

The three of them chatted a few more sporadically, and suddenly rushed in from outside, a small figure was Zhiyao, who had returned from the temple with the Queen Mother. He returned to the palace yesterday, and he was originally going to go to Guangyang Hall to find Yifang as soon as he came back, but the grandmothers who followed him reminded him that he couldn't forget the rules, and he should still go to visit the king and queen first, so he reluctantly compromised.

When I got up early this morning, I was still thinking about going to Guangyang Hall to play, and I waited until this time, but I heard that Yifang had come here, so I hurriedly ran over.

"Su Ji Niangniang, Su Ji Niangniang, Zhiyao misses you." Zhiyao is still a child, and has always felt that Yifang is interesting, that is, whether she is reading or playing, she loves to follow her.

It was obviously unruly to pounce on it like this, and after being reminded by the grandmother next to him, Zhiyao also turned around and saluted the queen: "Erchen pays homage to the queen mother." ”

"Zhiyao, shouldn't this be the time to read? Why did you come here? The queen saw that Zhiyao rushed to Yifang as soon as she came, and she was still dissatisfied in her heart, but on the bright side, she could only turn to the grandmother who was taking care of Zhiyao, "How do you take care of the second prince?" Now is his time to study, why let him run around? If the king is allowed to see it, you will all have to be beaten! ”

"Niangniang forgives me, the second prince heard that Su Meiren was coming, so he had to run over to see him, and the slaves and maids couldn't stop him!" The grandmother only refuted, and when she looked at the queen's face, she lowered her head and said no more.

"You dare to put the blame on the second prince!" The queen slapped the table hard, startling everyone present.

I heard that the queen has always been the gentleest, and she basically doesn't lose much temper in front of people, but this time she seems to be really angry.

"Don't be angry, the queen mother has to come over, the queen mother will punish Zhiyao if she wants to punish it, it's not about grandma." Zhiyao didn't seem to have seen the queen so angry, and suddenly lowered his little face.

"The queen is angry, Zhiyao is just a child's heart, not deliberately delaying the time to study." Yifang also knelt down and persuaded, "If you are punished for this, it will hurt the child's interest in reading." ”

The queen glanced at Yifang coldly, but her mouth was relieved: "Okay, hurry up and take Zhiyao back to study hard, if something like this happens in the future, you don't have to come to beg for mercy, just go down and receive the punishment." ”

"No." The grandmother trembled and pulled Zhiyao down, and Yifang seemed to understand the queen's attitude in her heart.

After Zhiyao left, the atmosphere returned to normal, and although the smile on the queen's face was not so real, fortunately, they still got along well on the surface.

"Queen Niangniang, it's almost time for the concubine to drink the medicine, and the concubine will retreat first." After talking for a while, Yifang told the queen to leave. The queen was already dissatisfied with her at this time, and when she saw that she took the initiative to leave, of course she gladly agreed.

Leaving the Queen's Palace, there is a small path through the small garden, and there are all kinds of flowers beside it, although there are no butterflies this season, but the flowers are unusually beautiful. Yifang stopped and saw those flowers, and the women in this harem are just like these flowers, there will always be a time to wither, no matter how beautiful they bloom, they will eventually turn into a puddle of mud on the ground.

Then turn your gaze to the trees next to you, although they are almost bare, but at least they are alive and well. Yifang made up his mind in his heart that in the days to come, he would definitely not make those easy-to-break flowers, but would prefer to be a big tree, shelter himself from the wind and rain, no matter what kind of cold winter he encountered, he could still thrive until next spring.

"Beauty, the slave doesn't seem to be very good when she looks at Queen Fangcai's mother, doesn't she like that jade Ruyi?" Teng Ling opened his mouth and pulled Yi Fang's thoughts back.

Yifang shook his head lightly: "The queen likes that jade Ruyi very much!" It's just that the second prince is too close to me, and she is still a little unhappy. ”

"I see." Teng Ling suddenly realized, "The queen always doesn't like her son to play too well with other concubines." ”

"Yes, it's just human nature." Yifang's voice seemed to float from afar, "But it stands to reason that the queen shouldn't have such a big reaction and show it in front of people." I think it should be Wen Jiayi who played right and wrong in front of the queen, so that she felt that I was plotting against the second prince. ”

"This Yue Liangren is really too much, she has been against beauties everywhere since the day she entered the palace!"

"This is really normal, the women in the harem are all to win the favor of the king, but the king usually puts government affairs first, and the time spent in the harem is small, that is, it can't be wet with rain and dew. In this case, if you want to get more favor from the king and make the women in the harem become fewer and fewer, it is naturally the first choice. ”

"What does beauty mean that Yue Liang doesn't just want to deal with beauty?" Tengling was shocked.

Yi Fang smiled indifferently: "If she encounters a good opportunity, she will not only get rid of me, but also think about getting rid of the queen and sitting on the back seat herself." ”

"Yue Liangren, who usually looks soft and weak, has such great ambitions, the slave and maid really can't believe it." Tengling is still young, although he has been in the palace for a few days, he is still relatively simple.

"Tengling, you can't just look at the surface, there are many things about smiling faces in front of people in this palace, and knives behind people!" Yifang said such shocking words, but there was a gentle smile on his face.

Teng Ling looked at her like this, and seemed to understand a little more in her heart.

Liu Heng also learned today that the second prince had returned to the palace. He was very distressed these days, so he simply decided to use Deng Tong's method, and he has been waiting for the return of the second prince. But helplessly, there are more things in the court these days, and it is a luxury to take time to go to Guangyang Palace. In this way, by the time I finally had free time, it was nearly a month later.

Seeing that the folds on the case were finally emptied, Liu Heng was in a good mood, and after resting for a while, he asked Wu Ping to call the second prince over, and authorized him not to study today.

"My son's visit to my father." Zhiyao had been reprimanded by the queen before, but he was a lot more well-behaved during this time, perhaps because the grandmothers around him were more strict. But although the child is well-behaved, he has lost a bit of his former vitality.

"How is Zhiyao doing his homework these days?" Liu Heng hugged Zhiyao to his lap and sat down, and asked casually.

Zhiyao answered truthfully, and recited the poems he learned a few days ago to Liu Heng, and won several compliments. waited until he talked to the child for a while, and Liu Heng mentioned today's focus.

"Zhiyao, have you gone to play with Su Ji Niangniang during this time?"

As soon as he mentioned this, Zhiyao pouted: "Since the eldest brother was injured, the queen mother has become more and more concerned about her sons' homework, so that the grandmothers can watch at any time, and the sons have not had time to play with Su Ji Niangniang for a long time." ”

"Really?" Liu Heng frowned inadvertently, and immediately pinched Zhiyao's little face again, "How about the father take you to play with Su Ji Niangniang today?" ”

"What about today's lesson?" There was some expectation in Zhiyao's eyes.

"I don't have to do my homework today. I haven't rested for so many days, and Zhiyao is tired, right? ”

Zhiyao nodded again and again: "Thank you, father." ”

Liu Heng smiled with satisfaction, and walked out with him. Just walked to the door, and the grandmother who was waiting outside greeted her.

"Go back, you don't have to follow the second prince today."

"Your Majesty, the second prince's homework today has not yet been completed. The queen instructed the slave maid to keep an eye on the prince every day to complete his homework. The grandmother reminded.

"It's not bad that you are so loyal to the queen and take care of the second prince with all your heart, but this king has already exempted him from today's homework, so you don't have to worry anymore." Liu Heng pulled Zhiyao to leave, but the grandmother followed.

"Never so, Your Majesty! The queen instructed the slave maid that if the second prince's homework could not be completed one day, the slave and maid should be left without food. ”

Liu Heng stopped and looked at her condescendingly: "If you can't eat, you can at least walk, if you dare to stop again, this king will make you unable to even walk in the future." ”

"The king forgives sins."

The grandmother finally didn't dare to catch up anymore, the second prince turned his head and grimaced at her, and happily followed Liu Heng to Guangyang Palace. Zhiyao, who has been stuffy in the palace for so long, is like a bird that has been released from its cage, walking and jumping.
