The prince's circle forbids thinking, the emperor is afraid of the adult prince, the queen loses her son-in-law, all of this is developing in the direction of Xu Ying's hope, how can she not be happy? It seems that she should also take this opportunity to gather and calculate her own forces.

The first thing Xu Ying did to win people's hearts was to marry her niece Xu Qiuxu to Chu Shuxiong, the son of Chu Peitian. Originally, a famous family like the Chu family would never look down on Xu Qiu, who had once befriended the prince. Helplessly, now that Chu Peitian is suspended, he urgently needs someone who can speak in the harem to help him return to work as soon as possible, and Xu Ying found him at this juncture.

After thinking about it, Chu Peitian finally agreed to the "deal" with Xu Ying. He thought that anyway, he didn't have a daughter or sister who could be sent to the palace to serve the king, and it would be good to have an in-law who could blow the wind on the emperor's pillow. Besides, Xu Ying is already the imperial concubine, and she is the most noble woman besides the queen and the queen mother! Holding the power of the six palaces as an assistant, she is indeed a big temptation for Chu Peitian.

The two families hit it off, and after a wedding banquet, they immediately discussed the wedding date, and finally set it on the ninth day of March after the beginning of spring.

On the fifteenth day of the first month of this year, that is, the queen's Qianqiu Festival, because the queen's small production did not dare to operate on a large scale. Even the New Year of the twelfth year of Shunjing has a more sense of slaughter than in previous years, and it is estimated that this year's spring will probably come later.

Feng Wu's miscarriage has not yet come out of the month, and Jiang Yu thought about bringing some body-tonifying medicine to comfort this niece in person. The snow on the road to Fengwu Palace has not melted, and Xia Ying is afraid of falling the Queen Mother, so it is recommended to take a detour. So they walked a road that is rarely crossed, and experienced a small episode on the way.

Several low-grade concubines gathered in the Mulin Pavilion and chatted around the stove to enjoy the snow. As they were talking, no one noticed that the Queen Mother was coming this way.

"There aren't many fireworks in the palace this year, what a pity! I thought I would be able to enjoy last year's grand scenery again! Wu Cainu sighed regretfully.

"There's no way, who made the queen ...... Alas, don't mention it. Tu Baolin was sympathetic to the queen's miscarriage.

"However, the queen mother actually had a miscarriage in the first month, which is really unlucky!" Zhang Baolin, who has always been used to being open-mouthed, accidentally said something rebellious without knowing it.

"Sister Zhang, don't dare to say this!" Wei Nan was worried that he would be listened to by someone with a heart, this would kill someone!

"Oh, what are you afraid of! Everyone is their own sister, and there are no outsiders here......" Zhang Baolin didn't notice the sudden change in everyone's faces, and was still talking to himself.

She thought that except for a little concubine like them, who would come here in the cold? But she never thought that her self-righteousness would hurt her in the end - Zhang Baolin turned around and saw the Queen Mother with a gloomy face.

Zhang Baolin was dumbfounded, and had forgotten how to react. Wei Nan desperately dragged the corner of her clothes to kneel down and salute the Queen Mother. All the concubines knelt on the ground and were silent, only Zhang Baolin, who knew that he was in trouble, kowtowed to the Queen Mother and asked for guilt: "The Queen Mother spares her life!" The Queen Mother spares her life! The concubine didn't mean to speak ill of the queen's mother! The concubine knew that she was wrong! Don't dare anymore! He slapped his mouth fiercely while begging for mercy.

"Bold Zhang Baolin, he actually dares to talk about the mother of the country and slander the queen behind his back?!" Xia Ying didn't wait for the Queen Mother's decree, and went up to a few big mouths. Compared to Zhang Baolin beating herself, Xia Ying was ruthless, and broke the corners of her mouth in two clicks. Xia Ying glared at Zhang, especially disgusted with hatred, and asked Jiang Fang what he meant: "Queen Mother, what do you think should be done?" ”

"Execute." Jiang Fang said lightly. Ignoring Zhang Baolin's crying and grabbing the ground, the accompanying eunuch dragged her down. Jiang Luo looked at the few concubines who had been kneeling in the snow and never got up, and ordered: "If you mess around on a snowy day, you will go back and think about it behind closed doors for a month and be fined for two months." After speaking, he didn't tell them to be flat, so he left straight away with Xia Ying and other palace people.

The Queen Mother's move is undoubtedly declaring to the entire harem - no matter how tragic and depressed Feng Wu is, she is also the queen of the Dahan Dynasty, not everyone can talk about it! By the way, remind everyone not to forget the existence of her, the queen mother, she can still support the queen!

Jiang Luo walked to Fengwu Palace, only to see that the Zhu door was closed, as if he was thanking guests and not disturbing the mode.

Mama Xiaying knocked on the door for the Queen Mother, and waited for a while for the door to move. Xia Ying was strange, knocked a few more times, and a lazy voice came from the other side of the door for a long time: "The queen has an order, no visitors are seen, masters, go back!" ”

"Bold slave! Did you talk to the Queen Mother like this? The queen visited, and she didn't open the door soon! "I didn't expect the queen to be insecure, and the people in this palace also slacked off!

When the palace maid in the door heard that it was the queen mother coming, she hurriedly opened the door and apologized to the queen mother: "The slave should die!" I don't know if the Queen Mother Feng is here, and she is not welcomed. Please also ask the Queen Mother to forgive her sins! ”

"Heartless thing!" Xia Ying pushed the palace maid's head and asked, "What about the queen mother?" You go and report that the Queen Mother has come to see her. ”

The little palace maid hurriedly said yes, and ran into the inner courtyard to spread the word. With the queen's approval, Miaoqing personally came forward to welcome the queen mother and Xia Ying into the house.

"See ...... son" Feng Wu propped up her body and wanted to salute Jiang Yuan, but before she could say the word "queen mother", Jiang Ming stopped her.

"No, you are weak, what are you doing with these false rituals? Lie down quickly. Jiang Wei sat on the side of Feng Wu's bed and helped Feng Wu back on the soft pillow.

"Queen Mother...... Wu'er should call your aunt. When I thought that I had to change my name to "Queen Mother" because of my marriage relationship with Duan Yulin, I always felt a faint sense of alienation. Besides, she really didn't want to mention any memories related to Duan Yulin now.

"Okay, you can call it however you want, and there are no outsiders here." Jiang Fang caressed Feng Wu's face compassionately, he was really much thinner than a month ago!

Jiang Fang married the first emperor as a concubine at the age of nineteen, and Duan Ruhui already had a wife and a concubine at that time. The Lu family in the main room was vicious and domineering, and Wang Yushu was attached to the Lu family in order to seek Gou An, and the two of them joined forces to oppress Jiang Fang. In order to avoid the edge, Jiang Luo didn't even dare to get too close to Duan Ruyan, so he was married for more than ten years and never got pregnant. Speaking of her real favor, it was after Lu's death, but unfortunately she had missed the best years of a woman at that time.

For many years when Jiang Fang was depressed, it was the arrogant niece in front of her who gave her a lot of comfort. Until Duanqin was born, Jiang Fang once regarded Fengwu as his own daughter. Now that her dearest niece has suffered this catastrophe, how can she not feel distressed? Not sour?

Unconsciously, Jiang Fang's tears fell. She is very similar to Feng Wu, that is, she does not want to show her vulnerable side in front of outsiders, and she is only willing to be a little soft in front of people who trust her wholeheartedly.

Feng Wu stretched out her hand to wipe away Jiang Fang's tears, and said with a smile: "Wu'er is not sad, why is my aunt crying?" ”

Jiang Fang shook his head and sighed: "Alas, stupid girl! Isn't it really sad at all? If it is really let go, how can you let the harem ignore everything in anger? The emperor is too, and he is actually like this, and he doesn't even come to take a look at you! Alas...... "Back then, she also intended to match the marriage between Feng Wu and Duan Yulin, but she didn't expect to fall into this step now." She really didn't know if she was doing it right or wrong?

Feng Wu sneered: "What is he here for?" Does he still have a face? "Even if Duan Yulin comes, she will never see him! Fortunately, Duan Yulin is self-aware and not boring!

"You're hard-mouthed! How worried would your mother be if she knew you were like now? "Thinking of Jiang Yan's quick temper, if he knew that his daughter had been greatly wronged, he might have caused some trouble.

"So, my aunt has to help Wu'er hide it and don't let my mother know." The news of her miscarriage must not be hidden, but at least don't let her mother know about her and the emperor's current condition.

"Wu'er, listen to the advice of the mourning family, the husband and wife have no overnight feud. He's the emperor, and you can't expect him to bow down to you first. The days have to go on, and you still have to live in his harem! Jiang Fang knew that the emperor and queen had been discordant for a long time, and he thought that he could improve by taking advantage of the queen's pregnancy, but he didn't expect it to fall short. Feng Wu's grace had already been scarce, and she couldn't squander Duan Yulin's patience anymore!

"His harem ......," Feng Wu muttered with her head down. Yes, the whole world is his dun Yulin, how long can she fight against him on her own? But she just couldn't forgive him! I don't want to forgive either.

People always pay a price for something, don't they? Her price has been paid, and his has rested and fled!

Feng Wu raised her head and smiled at Jiang Wei with a relieved smile: "Aunt is right, Wu'er shouldn't be angry with the emperor." It's not that Wu'er doesn't miss the emperor, but if the emperor doesn't come, Wu'er can't always beg him to come......" said with a sad expression.

"It's good that you have this heart! Leave the rest to the mourners. I promise that in a few days, the Emperor will come to see you. Jiang Fang decided to take out the "prestige" of her queen mother to enlighten the emperor.

Sure enough, two days later, the emperor came to Fengwu Palace with a large stack of gifts to condole.

Duan Yulin left all the attendants outside the hall and entered Feng Wu's dormitory alone. The doors and windows of the dormitory should be tightened, for fear that she would be affected by the wind after the moon, which would also make the originally bright room dark and gloomy.

Feng Wu was lying on her side with her back to the emperor, she knew it was him coming, but she didn't get up.

Duan Yulin thought that Feng Wu was still asleep, and moved lightly to the side of the bed. looked inside, but saw Feng Wu looking back with wide eyes.

"The queen was startled, why didn't she make a sound when she woke up?" Duan Yulin sat on the edge of the bed, gently touching her loose hair.

"The concubine has just woken up. The concubines have not yet saluted His Majesty. As he spoke, he struggled to get up.

Duan Yulin grabbed Feng Wu into his arms, and said helplessly: "The queen is still angry like this." I have long said that if you are not well, you can be exempted from profanity. ”

Feng Wu sneered in her heart, if he was willing to exempt her from punishment that day, she would not have had a miscarriage, and now she can be healthy and healthy. Isn't it too late to be considerate of her now? However, Feng Wu naturally smiled weakly on the surface and accepted the emperor's "kindness".

"The emperor is so ruthless, he didn't come to see the concubine until now. You don't know what the concubine was laughed at by the harem people a few days ago! Feng Wuqiang squeezed out a few tears and made a pitiful look.

Where has Duan Yulin seen the queen look so small and low? Besides, he was already guilty, and he relented at the moment. Even the words he uttered unconsciously brought a little seductive pity: "Aren't I here?" As you know, I have a lot of things to do at the end of the year. ”

Bah! Feng Wu said inwardly. At the end of the year, there are many chores, but no matter how busy it is, it is usually sealed before Chinese New Year's Eve [indicating that the emperor is also going to take a holiday]. She was already on the fifth day of junior high school when she had an accident, and I don't know which concubine's bed he was busy with during this period?

Feng Wu still hid the disgust in her eyes very well, her expression was slightly angry, but her tone was coquettish: "The emperor is used to bluffing people!" If it weren't for the queen mother who went to 'persuade' the emperor, the emperor would definitely never want to see his concubines again! ”

Duan Yulin hugged Feng Wu and laughed. Feng Wu, a person in his thirties, did not have the disobedience of the old melon pretending to be tender, but made him feel a long-lost sense of superiority and dependence. Look, the queen, who has always been dignified and generous, and does not smile, actually submits to him again and is coquettish! His mood suddenly felt a lot better.

He doted on the tip of Feng Wu's nose like he did with a young concubine: "You! It's just that he refuses to forgive! Can't you just give me a staircase? Duan Yulin began to pick some pleasant topics to talk about, and Feng Wu also looked well-behaved and snuggled up in his arms and listened carefully. They both deliberately did not touch the scars that they kept secret from each other.

Duan Yulin was giggling here, trying to cover up the discourse between the two with a relaxed joke. But he didn't know that when his fingertips touched Feng Wu's nose just now, she almost vomited with nausea!
