The west side hall of the Qianqing Palace.

The Queen Mother said softly, "Get up." When the words fell, the four concubines kneeling at the bottom finally breathed a sigh of relief. This salute is not allowed, and the half-squatting without squatting is a fight with the squatting horse, which is extremely uncomfortable.

It's just that although the Queen Mother said that she let them get up, she didn't mean to give them a seat, so the four of them could only stand like this.

The corners of her mouth hooked up a chuckle, and the Queen Mother thought to herself, fighting with the mourning family, you are not inherently dominant. Thinking so, the Queen Mother turned her head, gently patted the hand that was on her shoulder and pinched her shoulder, and then said: "Okay, okay, you have also pinched the shoulder of the mourning family for a day, and you are tired, go over there and sit and rest." ”

As soon as the Queen Mother said this, the grandmother was stunned at first, but quickly relented. His face immediately changed to a happy look, and then he bowed down and said: "The Queen Mother is merciful, and the slave and maid thank the Queen Mother for her mercy." ”

So saying, the grandmother turned around and saluted, and then sat down on the chair on the side. Although the Queen Mother would also give them seats to the old people around her in the past, the situation at that time was different from the current situation.

Just looking up at the four concubines, their blue and white faces can be seen. Now that I sit down on this chair, I didn't think that these people would retaliate against me in the future, but if I don't do it, I will lose the face of the Queen Mother and go against the will of the Queen Mother, then the Queen Mother will teach herself a lesson when she turns around.

Concubine De's heart is also uncomfortable, since she ascended to the throne of the concubine, she has never suffered so much as she did today. However, Concubine De's ninja skills are very deep, and even so, she didn't break out.

Concubine Hui is different, she is also hot-tempered. After enduring it for a while, I couldn't bear this anger after all, and I was just about to step forward and say that it was against etiquette. Concubine De, who was standing beside Concubine Hui, immediately noticed that something was wrong, and grabbed Concubine Hui who was about to come forward.

This time, it can be regarded as making the angry Concubine Hui a little sober.

It's not that Concubine De cares about Concubine Hui, but that she and she are a whole, at least at this moment. If it was in the past, Concubine De would like Concubine Hui to do this. But not now, if she did it now, she wouldn't be implicated.

Regardless of the small movements at the bottom, the Queen Mother didn't seem to see it. A pair of eyes that were already a little gray, looked at the four people below without any emotion. didn't give the four below a chance to speak at all, and said directly: "The mourning family knows your careful thoughts!" ”

"This palace is not to the point where you can cover the sky with one hand! No matter where the rumors in Beijing come from, the old women of the harem can't care much. But this little place in the palace can still be managed by the mourning family. ”

"The four of you can be regarded as the older generation around the emperor. The rules in this palace, you don't have to mourn your family to teach you. As a concubine and in charge of the palace, which one is not given to you by the emperor! ”

As she spoke, the Queen Mother became more and more unable to control her anger, although her voice was not much higher, but the anger in these words could be felt by anyone.

"Concubine De, Concubine Liang, the two of you are both from Baoyi, and today's honor and favor are all obtained by the emperor, and the emperor is not thin with you! Being in the royal family, this thought is not on the royal family at all. ”

When she said this, the fourth concubine didn't dare to gasp. The palace maid next to the Queen Mother was also afraid that the Queen Mother would be angry, so she kept gently patting the Queen Mother's back to give her relief.

"You think about your mother's family in your heart, and the mourning family doesn't blame you, but what can and can't be done, you don't have a number in your heart?"

Saying that, the Queen Mother paused, and for a while, the west side hall of the Qianqing Palace fell into an eerie silence. The matter was revealed, and the fourth concubine didn't dare to say anything at all. If this matter is said to be serious, it is a great crime to collude with the previous dynasty.

After a long while, the Queen Mother saw that her goal had basically been achieved, so she said: "That's all the mourning family's words, you go back and think about it yourself!" After speaking, as soon as the Queen Mother stretched out her hand, the grandmother who was still sitting on the chair just now hurriedly ran over and hugged her.

When the Queen Mother and her entourage left, the four concubines glanced at each other, but this time they didn't say anything. Although the Queen Mother's tone was not harsh, the meaning behind it was something that the four of them had to consider.

Hao Hao Tang Tang came, and left in a gloomy manner. These four people really made the deep palace women in the harem who hated them very happy.

When they returned to the palace, the four of them really didn't give the family the first news. The Queen Mother knew that the news had been delivered to them at home, and if she sent it back, the Queen Mother could stop it.

However, not handing over the news to the family does not mean that these people do not have other thoughts.

Early the next morning, it happened to be the tenth day of the second month. These concubines who have sons marry fortunes and are all going to enter the palace to ask for peace.

In Concubine Hui's palace, Concubine Hui glanced at her daughter-in-law, no matter how much she didn't like her on weekdays, she still said patiently at this time: "After I go back, quickly deliver a message to your father, saying that there is a change in the palace, let him find a reason to return quickly." E-Niang will help him drag it here! ”

Da Fu Jin was shocked after hearing this, and then he was happy. Does this mean that he has the opportunity to sit in that seat, and it is difficult to hide the joy in his heart, Dafujin respectfully saluted Concubine Hui. "My daughter-in-law knows, let's go back!"

Concubine Hui didn't stop her, and after a few words, Dafu Jin left.

On the other side, in the palace of Concubine De. Concubine De talked to her two daughters-in-law without saying a word. Most of the time, these two are thinking about something to make Concubine De bored. Seeing that she had been talking for a while, Concubine De lazily said, "I heard that the new Ling Gege in the old fourth mansion is pregnant?" ”

Although it is a question, it is all affirmative. No matter how hateful his teeth were, Sifu Jin still said virtuously on his face: "No, that's also a blessed one, and I got pregnant within a few months of entering the mansion." ”

Concubine De hurriedly said: "The fetal elephant in the first few months is the most unstable, you better go back and guard it quickly, lest someone in the backyard have crooked thoughts." "Sifujin has nothing to say, Concubine De has already said so, if she doesn't leave, it won't be beautiful.

couldn't wait to get rid of the four blessings, and Concubine De looked at the fourteenth blessing with a serious face and said: "After you go back after a while, write a letter to tell the fourteenth, just say that no matter what news is handed to him below, let him never listen to the letter, just stay in the army, and return to Beijing after the war is over!" ”

"Let's just say that this is Eniang, if he doesn't listen, he should not have me."
