"The Queen Mother, you asked the slave maid to inquire about the matter of Ning Guiren, the slave and maid have already inquired clearly, and I heard Jiaqi's girl say that the reason why Ning Guiren had to move to Zhaoyang Palace was to live with that concubine Niangniang, and most of the unbelievable things that happened last time were also due to this reason."

Aunt Zhu Li took advantage of the Queen Mother's lunch break, and then reported to the Queen Mother that although Ning Guiren had been in the palace for two years, the Queen Mother did not give Ning Guiren other tasks, but just let her first guard herself and win the emperor's favor, in case of emergency, but what Ning Guiren did made the Queen Mother realize that something was wrong, and the Queen Mother naturally couldn't let Ning Guiren do anything out of the ordinary, so she sent Aunt Zhu Li to investigate, especially the last time Ning Guiren wronged the concubine and the third princess, everyone knew about it, It is said that Ning Guiren is a tongue-chewing person, and the emperor has snubbed Ning Guiren for a long time, if it weren't for the face of the Queen Mother, it would be a problem to regain favor.

"Why are he and Concubine Xuan so good? Even if she is as close as a sister, Concubine Xuan is just changing the palace, and she is not going out of the palace, what is there worth it for Ning Guiren to take such a big risk to offend the concubine and go to Zhaoyang Palace. "The Queen Mother didn't believe that Ning Guiren simply wanted to live in a palace with Concubine Xuan, so she made such a big incident: "Concubine Ling is also a fierce person, and when that incident happened, she directly hit the side hall of Yanxi Palace." ”

"No matter which lady in the palace is bad for this innocent slander, she will definitely be angry, I heard that although Concubine Xuan Niangniang looks like a difficult person to get along with on the surface, she is actually kind to people, Ning Guiren had just entered the palace at that time, and she was not familiar with anyone, so she made friends with Concubine Xuan Niangniang, and then they often corresponded, so they became acquaintances."

"Yes, slander for no reason," the Buddha beads in the Queen Mother's hand kept turning, as if indicating that the Queen Mother's thoughts were turning: "I just hope that it is a real slander, not a fake slander." ”

"Why did the Queen Mother say this? Do you also suspect that this forcible pursuit of wind and shadows is a matter of forcible pursuit? ”

"The mourning family naturally won't doubt it, the mourning family has also experienced it, thinking that the emperor's biological mother, Concubine Chun, was also framed, the mourning family knows what it feels like, but the mourning family is thinking, this kind of thing is not impossible."

"Then do you want the slave to check the condition of the concubine again?" Aunt Zhu Li is the right-hand man under the Queen Mother, and Aunt Ruo is responsible for the Queen Mother's diet and daily life, while she is more responsible for the outside world of Cining Palace.

"No need, you're right, this kind of thing is just chasing the wind and catching shadows, the mourning family doesn't want to learn from Ning Guiren, but Ning Guiren must still have something unclear hidden, otherwise he will never do it for no reason." If the Queen Mother dared to make waves and disturb the harem under his nose, the Queen Mother would be the first to let her go, because everyone knew that Ning Guiren was recommended by him to enter the palace: "Zhu Li, you will carefully check the Mourning Family, and you must clearly investigate the connection between the Mourning Nobleman and Concubine Xuan, as well as what transactions there may be behind them, and also find out clearly, the Mourning Family let him enter the palace, and it was also their family who begged the Mourning Family to recommend her to the palace." , It's okay to be a chess piece, if you still want to do something to disrupt the harem, the mourning family will not be spared. ”

"The slave obeys the order, by the way, Ning Guiren didn't mention her own matter before, how does the Queen Mother want to reply?"

Before the Chinese New Year, Ning Guiren once inquired about the tone of the Queen Mother, hinting that she wanted to be promoted to the position of concubine, saying that she could do better things for the Queen Mother, but only she knew what she was actually thinking in her heart.

"Ning Guiren is here, Rong Nuwen will inform you, the Queen Mother should have just gotten up now."

Ning Guiren walked to the gate of Cining Palace, and listened to the slave guarding the door, and said disapprovingly: "Why do you still stop this little master, this little master has something very important to tell the queen mother, this little master can just go in by himself, no need to report." ”

"But the little master ......"

Without waiting for the servant to finish speaking, Ning Guiren was about to step into the palace door with one foot, but she stopped abruptly in the next moment, because she heard the Queen Mother say: "Ning Guiren wants to seal the concubine, and she doesn't want to think about it, why can she be a princess, just because she is the person recommended by the mourning family?" ”

"The slave maid went back to Master Ning, let her keep to herself, you don't have to worry about Ning Guiren's affairs, the left and right are also stuffed by her family to the Queen Mother, and the Mother will give her a face."

"In fact, the more important thing is that which of the main concubines in this harem does not have a prince or princess, or has an excellent family background, and it is impossible for Ning Guiren to become the head of the palace only by virtue of the mourning family, otherwise wouldn't others also point fingers at the mourning family? And even if she has her own child, the emperor is suspicious and even more cautious, and it is estimated that she will not be allowed to become the head of the first house. "The Queen Mother knows that even if the emperor respects her on weekdays, the emperor will definitely consider it carefully in this regard.

"Then if you want to let Ning Guiren be in the position of a noble person all her life, she will definitely not be willing."

"Alas, it depends on her own creation, in the eyes of the mourning family, if this concubine is vacant, or if Ning Guiren is loved and favored by the emperor, then she may still become the lord."

When she heard this, Ning Guiren's hands were already clenched, it turned out that the Queen Mother was just a chess piece for him, and she didn't think about her future at all, and she herself might be disgusted by the emperor because of this identity, and she could only be a small nobleman for life, fortunately, the last two sentences of the Queen Mother mentioned him, and the voice inside became smaller, she still pretended not to hear, gave Jiaqi next to her a look, and only heard Jiaqi cough lightly and walked to the palace maid who just reported: "This sister, I still bother you to inform the Queen Mother, The little Lord Ning is here. ”

The palace maid glanced at her before going in to report, and then said, "Noble Ning, the Queen Mother let you in." ”

"The concubine sees the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an."

"Get up, why do you have time to come and see the mourning family today?" The Queen Mother naturally didn't know that Ning Guiren had been waiting outside the door for a long time: "Didn't you go to talk to that concubine and have fun." ”

"The Queen Mother laughed, the concubine knows how she entered the palace, so she should naturally come to honor the Queen Mother more, no matter how good she is with Concubine Xuan, it is the relationship between ordinary sisters, where can it compare to the grace that the Queen Mother gave to the concubine?" Ning Guiren didn't seem to have heard what he had just said, he smiled and flattered the Queen Mother, behaved naturally, and wanted to step forward to pinch the Queen Mother's shoulder.

"Okay," the Queen Mother turned over and rejected Ning Guiren with body language, which is also Hua Ying's credit, no one in the harem knows how to massage better than Hua Ying, every time she pinched her, it was extremely refreshing, causing the Queen Mother to be reluctant to let others pinch her shoulders and back, and always felt that other people were just perfunctory pinching and pinching, which didn't play any role at all: "The mourning family still has to remind you, don't go too far in some things, follow the instructions of the mourning family." ”

Ning Guiren's hand hanging in the air was slightly embarrassed, she withdrew her hand and replied: "What the Queen Mother instructed, how dare the concubine not do it, didn't you instruct the concubine before, let the concubine inquire about the emperor's views on the Mongolian ministries from the side, concubine, today is to tell the Queen Mother a good news." ”

Although Ning Guiren was not very concerned about the affairs of the Queen Mother before, he also heard the emperor when he went to the Heart Raising Palace to deliver snacks, and asked his subordinates to tell the people in the Mulan enclosure to arrange and clean up earlier, because this year there are many royal relatives and nobles who want to go hunting, and most of the Mongolian clansmen must not damage the majesty of the Daqi country, let Ning Guiren hear this, and naturally feel that this is a good opportunity to honor the Queen Mother, after all, the Queen Mother is in a bad mood these days, and she must not know the news, so he made up his mind in his heart, You have to show your ability in front of the Queen Mother.

"Oh, what good news do you have for the mourners?" The Queen Mother asked quietly, and she didn't know what kind of calculation Ning Guiren was making.

"It's really good news, the concubine knows that the queen mother has been thinking about the eldest princess of Duanjing Gulun, isn't this the emperor going to invite the Mongolian nobles in Mulan Qiuqiu this year, and he also wants to bring his relatives and children, among them there must be the eldest princess Duanjing, isn't this good news?"

The Queen Mother's originally deep eyes finally had a ripple, she raised her head, and her face was joyful, which Ning Guiren had never seen before: "What you said is true, the emperor really wants to invite the nobles of Mongolia?" ”

"This can still be fake, the concubine heard the emperor instruct Gonggong Li beside him that day, and asked him to tell the people in charge of the Mulan enclosure to prepare a place for the Mongolian people to live in advance, and don't lose the face of Daqi, then it must be true, and the emperor can't joke about this matter." Looking at the Queen Mother's expression, Ning Guiren knew that his abacus was hitting the Queen Mother's heart: "You just need to wait a few months patiently to see your eldest princess Duanjing." ”

In this way, even Aunt Yiruo beside her was already full of joyful smiles on her face, mainly because the Queen Mother was happy, and several of them were also excited: "In this way, what the Queen Mother thinks about day and night, isn't it about to come true, to be able to see the eldest princess Duanjing with her own eyes, this autumn season usually lasts for a few days, and you can also talk to the eldest princess Duanjing." ”

"The mourning family, which has been concerned about for a long time, can finally be realized." The Queen Mother can see her daughter, and she can talk face-to-face, but it is not to solve a matter in her heart for many years, although there are letters, how can she convey all the feelings of her relatives, only when you meet can you know whether the other party is really okay.
