Concubine Zhou decided to attack without asking the reason, which made Zhu Qiming's heart cold, and at this moment, the rumors that Concubine Zhou was happy to see Lu Xiyao become the princess of Yue instantly became less credible.

"Could it be that Concubine Zhou is taking revenge on the Qin family?" Zhu Qiming said secretly.

A woman who peeps at the Son of Heaven is against etiquette, and it is easy to cause trouble for herself, but for some reason, Zhu Qiming didn't want to leave, just turned around, put his back to the concubine, and made a disrespectful look.

Wang Zhen also seemed to be drawn by curiosity, pretending to be absent-minded and turned his head to look at the majestic temple in the distance. Perhaps in Wang Zhen's view, a prince who happened to meet a concubine who was almost known to him a few years ago is not a big deal at all.

The sunlight outside the forest was dazzling, and the light and shadow of the swaying roofs in the distance reflected the boundless heat wave that swept the entire Forbidden City. Think about how long can you support such a steaming summer day, kneeling on the stone steps that are constantly absorbing heat and heating up under the blazing sun, with a weak body like the Qin family? Zhu Qiming couldn't help but concentrate and wait for the queen to show her kindness.

Finally someone spoke, but the person who spoke was not the queen, with that authentic Huai'an accent, Zhu Qiming carefully searched for all kinds of characters in his memory, and vaguely remembered that she was a woman with a high concubine position, and her surname should be Wan. That's right, it's Concubine Wan Chen! Not long ago, he seemed to have heard someone say that Concubine Wan Chen and the queen were very close.

"Concubine Hui, the queen is virtuous, you might as well make your debut to praise the queen's appearance of the lantern riddle, if it is good, maybe everyone will be happy, and they will intercede with the queen, so that you will not be punished."

A moment later, Qin's slightly sad voice sounded on the side of the rockery: "Bao Xi laughs, Meng Jiang cries." ”

Bao Xi is the second queen of the king of Zhou You, when the king of Zhou You smiled for Bo Bao Xi, ordered several times to light the beacon tower used to gather the princes to reinforce the troops, the princes repeatedly led the army to help after seeing the alarm, but after the arrival did not see a foreign enemy to attack, realized that they were teased, they were no longer trustworthy, when there were really foreign enemies such as dog Rong invaded the Western Zhou Dynasty, the princes did not send troops to help, and the Western Zhou Dynasty perished. This is the famous "Beacon Opera Princes" in history.

Meng Jiang is the legendary woman who cried down the Great Wall, the legend of Meng Jiangnu is one of the four major love stories of Chinese folk, and "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl", "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", "The Legend of the White Snake" is equally famous, Meng Jiangnu's prototype originated from the "Qiliang wife" recorded in the "Zuo Biography", and later generations of folk people adapted, the storyline is more tortuous and touching.

Qin's intention to come up with this lantern riddle was good, but for the harem women who are used to playing simple and straightforward games, the riddle is still a bit brain-burning, going around and around, confusing others, and also wrapping themselves into the ditch.

Isn't it good for you to metaphorize the queen's national beauty? It's just out of this riddle, you deserve to be uncomfortable!

Moreover, mentioning Bao Xi and Meng Jiangnu in front of the queen is suspected of being a taboo. No, a group of concubines don't know their brains, they don't want to see the Qin family on weekdays, but at this moment, after a period of unprovoked brain burning, they are secretly angry, so they can't help but talk and wantonly start to attack.

"What a guts! In front of the queen's mother, praise the demon queen, and the unlucky Meng Jiangnu, what do you mean? Could it be disrespectful to the queen! ”

"She must be dissatisfied with the queen's mother, so she took the opportunity to make sarcastic remarks!"

Is the answer to the mystery so hard to guess? Zhu Qiming was slightly surprised, he turned his back to the concubine, he couldn't see the queen's expression clearly, only heard a group of concubines give the Qin family a heart, and then chased after the old one, and the new accounts and old accounts were settled together.

"She's just in mind! A fairy who pretends to be a fairy who can't eat fireworks in the world, in the end, she is not looking forward to the emperor's luck, hum, she will do it! ”

She originally looked at the emperor's blessings, but I heard that one night the emperor really came to her after being drunk, but this person pretended not to follow, and cried afterwards, as if he had been wronged. Really good at pretending! ”

"This pretending is not tight, and the emperor seems to have done something wrong, and he never wants to see this person again. Giggle······ The Qin clan is also cocooning itself! ”

Qin Huifei opened her mouth several times to plead, but as soon as Fang opened her mouth, her voice as thin as a mosquito was drowned out by the sound of everyone's saliva.

In many cases, the graceful manners of the court were merely a fig leaf, and when the fig leaf was removed, the dirt that was deeply hidden could be seen. At this moment, the concubine who chewed the root of her tongue shook out the secret that the emperor was drunk and disorderly, and the Qin family was raped, and it could be regarded as unstoppable, Zhu Qiming was inconvenient to listen to it anymore, turned his head to look at Wang Zhen, and saw that Wang Zhen was frowning and signaling him to move quickly.

"Alright! The more you talk about it, the more unpleasant it becomes! This palace didn't want you to celebrate your birthday, so how can you still have the slightest interest in this trouble? Let's get out early! The queen finally opened her mouth, but she only blocked everyone's mouths, but did not forgive the Qin clan's belated mistakes. Perhaps in the eyes of the queen, the outstanding Qin family is just an alternative person who has nothing to do with herself, and is not worthy of incurring everyone's secret resentment for her to stand out.

The queen didn't want to ask why the Qin family was late? Zhu Qiming had a question in his heart, he had already forgotten all the secret words he had thought of, he just wanted to leave quickly, but with a hard foot on his feet, he stepped on a dead branch on the road, and with a "click", the crisp sound alarmed the concubine on the side of the rockery.

"Who!"

Wang Zhen frowned and glanced at Zhu Qiming, who could hold back his complaint, and walked quickly to the front of the pavilion, "Queen Mother, the emperor passed on the king of Yue to come to the imperial garden, and the king of Yue and the old slave inadvertently passed through this place and wanted to leave. ”

"King Yue?" The queen's eyes lit up slightly, "Where is King Yue?" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Qiming had to go out of the woods and walk to the open field, and he didn't dare to get too close to the pavilion, according to the ancient adage of not looking at indecent things, he didn't dare to look directly at the woman of the Son of Heaven, so he lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head to salute the queen, and there was not a word on his lips.

After the ceremony, Zhu Qiming turned around and wanted to leave, and caught a glimpse of Qin's figure out of the corner of his eye, and he was a little unbearable in his heart after all, so he turned his back to the concubine and said: "Praise and smile and fall into the country, Meng Jiang cries and falls into the city, how can there be a woman in the world who doesn't want to have the appearance of a country and a city?" Alas, a pity! ”

"It turns out that the riddle of the lantern is the answer to the country!" I don't know which concubine screamed.

The concubines looked at each other in embarrassment, unable to make a sound, and the queen also seemed quite uncomfortable, Fang wanted to order the Qin family to get up, but saw the emperor coming from afar.

When passing by Zhu Qiming's side, the emperor did not look at his cousin, but walked straight to the pavilion.

"The concubines respectfully invite the emperor to be saintly and blessed!"

The emperor ignored the queen and a group of concubines kneeling in the pavilion, and looked at the Qin family in a daze, his expression a little complicated. Seeing that the Qin clan knelt and turned around with a little difficulty, her face was red from the scorching sun, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, the emperor frowned, pondered for a long time, and said lightly: "I heard from the grandmother in your palace yesterday that you are pregnant, what are you kneeling here today, don't hurry up." ”

"The concubine bowed to thank the emperor."

Pregnant? I saw that the queen and all the concubines were shocked. At present, the royal family is not prosperous, if any concubine is pregnant, it is a great joy to envy others! However, why did such a good thing fall on the Qin family? If she is the first to give birth to a prince, then it will be fine! Everyone turned their heads to look at the Qin clan in unison, and their eyes were full of strange tastes.

Zhu Qiming was also shocked in his heart, he didn't want a ridiculous luck to make the Qin family unexpectedly pregnant, I don't know what this means to the Qin family? Is it the time to run or the beginning of a nightmare?

The emperor finally realized that there were still a large number of people kneeling in the pavilion, so he waved his hand, "Get up." ”

"Your Majesty."

The emperor left the concubine and came to Zhu Qiming's side, frowning, obviously the focus of his heart at the moment was not on his cousin. The emperor laughed at himself: "I wanted to send you over to talk to me, but I let you see the ridiculous things in the palace!" ”

Zhu Qiming smiled and shook his head, "The minister doesn't understand." ”

The emperor said quietly: "After you get married, when the concubines are in groups, you will be able to understand." ”
