However, there is a way that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and the Empress Dowager Chen is so greedy for pleasure, and Emperor Xuan himself is no better.

"In the dark, I am afraid that it has its own fixed number, and today I smashed the white jade Guanyin statue given to the Queen Mother by His Royal Highness, and it seems that it has been fulfilled at this moment. The congratulatory gifts sent by the princes and princes are all good, and the concubine has caused His Royal Highness to have no face in front of the Queen Mother, and His Royal Highness will not blame the concubine, right? ”

Tuoba Zeyan would not be separated from Liu Mengyan because of such a trivial matter, "If it is broken, it will be broken, anyway, the old lady is not rare in the main hall." Even if you break the sky one day, this temple is willing to bear it. ”

"I believe in Your Highness."

Liu Mengyan's heart was full of speechless emotion: "Early tomorrow morning, the concubine wants to go to see Princess Hanyue." She's at the birthday banquet today, and it's a little weird. ”

Tuoba Zeyan shook his head: "This hall once went to see her in the Chaolu Palace, but she refused to say anything. ”

"There are some things, I'm just afraid that Princess Hanyue will not be able to talk to His Royal Highness. The concubine is a woman, and the woman is naturally easier to talk to. Liu Mengyan said.

Tuoba Zeyan nodded.

At that time, Concubine Yang Shu closed her eyes and lay on the bed and pretended to sleep.

waited until Qing'er, who was sure to enter the palace with her, fell asleep, and then got up from the bed.

In order to prevent others from hearing and seeing, Concubine Yang Shu deliberately changed into Qing'er's clothes, pushed open the door lightly, and walked out of Changle Palace.

All the way to Yanshou Palace, Concubine Yang Shu knocked on the palace door twice.

The palace maid who kept vigil at the door was instructed in the morning, so she naturally didn't talk much, and opened the palace door slightly to let people in.

Concubine Yang Shu lightened her steps and stepped into the queen mother's bedroom.

In the dim vision of rows of candlelight flickering, Empress Dowager Chen was crooked on the couch.

She looked at Concubine Yang Shu who slowly knelt in front of her.

"The slave maid greets the Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Chen nodded, but did not say anything to exempt Concubine Yang from the courtesy.

In her opinion, Concubine Yang is now Tuoba Zeyan's concubine, and when she comes to herself, she is still a palace maid.

Kneeling and replying is the rule.

After the makeup on her face was washed off, compared to her appearance in the main hall today, Empress Dowager Chen instantly aged a lot.

"Let's talk about it, what have you found in the Yiwang Mansion for so many days?"

Concubine Yang Shu knelt down and replied: "King Yi is very fond of Princess Yi, even if the slave and maid tried their best, they couldn't make him move. ”

"That's all, isn't there anything to do?" Empress Dowager Chen's eyes flashed fiercely, and she said quietly: "Don't just climb on the branch and give birth to other thoughts, right?" ”

Concubine Yang Shu was shocked, and just wanted to deny it, but then she thought of the fact that she had made a plan to give Liu Mengyan a congratulatory gift to Empress Dowager Chen this morning, and she panicked inexplicably.

Empress Dowager Chen has a lot of eyes and ears in the palace, if she doesn't take the initiative to explain this matter at the moment, someone will stab her in Yanshou Palace one day, and she will be scolded at best, and she will not be sure what the result will be.

Thinking about the consequences, Concubine Yang didn't dare to hide anything now.

"Back to the Queen Mother, today's white jade Guanyin is also a means of slave and maid. The slave maid has no second thoughts about the queen mother, she just wants to make Princess Yi ugly. ”

The Queen Mother snorted lightly: "Okay, you don't have the courage to mourn your family." Remember the words of the mourning family, the mourning family can let you enter the palace of King Yi as a concubine today, and one day you will be inferior to the most inferior palace maid in the palace! ”

"The slave knows." Concubine Yang only felt a chill in her back, and her hands and feet trembled unconsciously.

Harem, let a woman disappear, that's a breeze.

The Yang family was originally a chess piece in the hands of the Queen Mother, and now she was pointed out to Tuoba Zeyan as a concubine, and he was already afraid of him.

If the Yang family loses the support of the Empress Dowager Yang again, it will be difficult.

Thinking about these things clearly, where did the Yang family dare to have a little heart.

The Queen Mother hooked the corners of her mouth with satisfaction: "Qi Zhaoyi has no foundation, but the Dingguo Mansion has a deep foundation." You keep an eye on the sixth child for me, and if he has any abnormal movements, I will report it as soon as possible. ”

Concubine Yang Shu answered, and seeing that the Queen Mother had no orders, she got up slightly and withdrew from the Yanshou Palace with a half-bow.

As for Tuoba Zeyan's words that she didn't touch her at all, she didn't dare to reveal it to the Queen Mother.

There is no shortage of palace maids in the palace, she has finally come to this point, if the queen mother knows that she is not in the eyes of Tuoba Zeyan, the useless chess pieces will only end up in the end.

As soon as Concubine Yang left, the Queen Mother summoned one of her confidants: "Where are the two of them now, have you found out?" ”

The father-in-law looked embarrassed, shook his head, and knelt down in front of the queen mother before he dared to open his mouth and said: "The slave is useless, I only heard that I was sent out of the palace directly." Where exactly did he go, no one knows, please ask the Queen Mother to confess. ”

The Queen Mother was depressed, she had always been calm, but at this moment her face showed a look of panic.

Suddenly, the Queen Mother ordered the palace maid to change her clothes and comb her hair.

The father-in-law asked, it's so late, where is the Queen Mother going.

The Queen Mother sneered and said: "Of course, I went to find the good son of the mourning family, but the mourning family wants to see if there is a mother of the mourning family in the eyes of the son who was raised by one hand!" ”

The palace maids were silent, they didn't dare to be slow in their hands, and hurriedly combed the queen mother's hair and changed clothes.

After a while, the Empress Dowager Chen, who was full of haste and couldn't hide her old age, regained the majesty of the Queen Mother in front of people.

Xiangzheng's purple palace robe, the sleeves and hem are decorated with glass beads, and the robe is embroidered with gold Phoenix Sunrise, Yongrong is luxurious, just right to outline the girl-like slender figure.

On his head, he combed a loose flying star moon bun, obliquely inserted a red gold cloisonné warm jade fire phoenix with pearl hairpin, and hung down the tassel inlaid with a little jade.

His fingers were covered with gold armor, which was carved with several tiny gems.

Empress Dowager Chen looked at herself in the bronze mirror, nodded with satisfaction, and got up with the palace maid's hand.

Everything is ready outside.

The two palace maids carried the lamp, the queen mother sat on the shoulder, and the group went directly to the Chengtian Palace.

The guards of the night vigil of the Chengtian Palace saw the queen mother sitting high on her shoulder, and was busy kneeling to ask for peace, and the night guard gave a salute, and then went to the door of the palace of Emperor Xuan to ask for instructions.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has something to discuss with the emperor, and she is now waiting at the gate of the palace."

Emperor Xuan thought of today's incident in the main hall, and his heart was annoyed, and then he thought of why the Queen Mother was looking for him, and said in a tired tone: "Go, go back to the Queen Mother, I have already rested, let her come back tomorrow." ”

The waiter knelt down in a cold sweat and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother said that if you don't see Your Majesty today, you will sit in front of this door for one night." ”

Emperor Xuan only felt that the Queen Mother was forcing herself, and he was irritable, so he sat up from the bed.

The mother and son were speechless, and the queen mother saw that Emperor Xuan was full of anger, so she simply sent out the inner servants of the palace in a deep voice.

In the huge room, only mother and son were left.

The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Xuan who was sitting in the hall, and suddenly opened her mouth and said, "Emperor, are you just watching your queen mother die alone?" ”

Emperor Xuan avoided looking at the Queen Mother and said coldly: "The Queen Mother is the Queen Mother, the master of the harem, but she keeps her face in the palace. If such an absurd thing spreads, won't my great Tuoba lose all face! ”

The Queen Mother knew that he would reject herself like this, and sneered: "The mourning family really raised a good emperor!" The emperor is so demanding of others, how can he be so indulgent to himself? ”

Emperor Xuan's pupils shrank, and he said irritably: "I am the Son of Heaven, and I have three thousand beauties in the harem, which reflects the majesty and wealth of the Heavenly Family. The queen mother is the queen mother of the great tuoba, and she should be quiet and observant, and she is the model of the harem and the scarf of the women in the world! ”

"Hehe, the emperor takes pills all day long, and there are more than three thousand beauties in the harem? The mourning family all wanted to ask, why couldn't they tolerate two people by their mother's side? ”

"......" Emperor Xuan didn't want to say any more.

Emperor Xuan has already told the Queen Mother several times, and now he is too lazy to say it again.

"I'm tired for a day, if the queen mother has nothing to do, please go back!"

Seeing that Emperor Xuan didn't want to continue, the Queen Mother simply cried: "Okay, when you sit in the position of the emperor, you forget how your mother raised you from now on." Why don't you want to think about it, you have not been favored by the emperor since you were a child, and how many open guns and hidden arrows your mother has dodged with you before you have the supreme right today! ”

Speaking of the old things, Emperor Xuan suddenly didn't know what to do, was silent for a long time, sighed and said: "If the Queen Mother has to be accompanied by those two people, then ask the Queen Mother to move out of the palace." Externally, I announced that the Queen Mother was recuperating and living in another hospital for a long time. ”

"Hahaha......" The Queen Mother suddenly smiled.

Emperor Xuan felt extremely harsh in his ears when he heard this, and his face became more and more cold.

When he was young, he was a particularly timid child, often hiding behind Empress Dowager Chen.

At that time, Empress Dowager Chen was one of the many concubines of the first emperor who gave birth to a son.

The first emperor favored Empress Zhu very much, so the concubines who gave birth to sons were especially afraid that Empress Zhu would be unfavorable to them and their sons.

Empress Dowager Chen was born beautiful, and her temperament belongs to the kind of gentleness and understanding, and she also has the favor of the first emperor.

Because Emperor Xuan was timid, he was very inconspicuous among his brothers.

"Emperor, are you trying to imprison your mother?" Empress Dowager Chen stopped laughing, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Mother, it's not the son who won't let you. The courtiers of the son Da Tuoba, the people did not allow the queen mother to do this. The son has already received a letter of advice. Emperor Xuan said, "Queen Mother, there must be an understanding of this matter." He also asked the queen mother to put state affairs first. Stop having people pointing fingers at you behind your back. ”

Empress Dowager Chen's eyebrows gathered a wave of disappointed anger.

In recent years, the alienation and suspicion between mother and son have eaten away all the remaining family affection.

Although she is the queen mother and enjoys the glory and wealth of the sky, the depletion and loneliness in her heart almost make her crazy.

Although she has a son, he no longer belongs to her.

She also has many daughters-in-law and many grandchildren, but none of them really care about her.

She is already the loneliest woman in this world.
