The rumor that the middle palace was about to change hands was brought to Kunning Palace through Yutang, and the queen knew about it, and she was probably the last person among the harem masters to know about this rumor, which corresponds to the general circulation law of rumors: everyone in the world knows about it, only the person concerned is still kept in the dark!

The queen suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of weakness and panic. This rumor is not like a rumor, it is more like a kind of spoiler after the secret discussion between the monarchs and ministers of the DPRK and China, and it is too suitable for the trade-off mentality of the temple that is related to the future! Therefore, it is impossible not to let the queen believe it a little.

If the little prince is really made the crown prince, she, the queen without a queen, is very likely to fall off the throne of the middle palace and become a deposed queen, just like Queen Hu during the Xuande period. And once the queen is abolished, she will definitely be put into the cold palace, and it will be difficult to see the light of day for the rest of her life, otherwise, the queen will be abolished because she has no children, and she can still be the same as other concubines, the rain and dew are even, in case she is conceived and gives birth to a prince, it will be a big joke in the world!

Such a miserable life situation is unimaginable, she desperately wants to go to the emperor, hoping that the emperor will refute the rumors in person, so that her hanging heart will fall into her stomach. But today, the emperor wants to receive the envoys from all directions, and feast hundreds of officials in the Fengtian Palace, and the figure disappeared early in the morning.

The rumors were unconfirmed, and they could not be clarified in a short time, which made her heart tormented, and the infertility that had tormented her for many years turned into bursts of sourness, which swept through her heart, and hatred burned her body like a flame, which was inexplicable and piercing.

With a haggard face and a trance-like expression, she came to the Chunxi Palace. The fire in the hall was booming, warm as spring, but the queen only felt cold all around, instinctively responded to the New Year's cheers of the concubines who came early, walked quickly to the seat that belonged to the queen, and sat down blankly.

The emperor held a feast in the Fengtian Palace, and the people in the harem set up a banquet in the Spring Festival Palace, held the first big party in the New Year, and it was lively.

At this moment, the queen lost her proper demeanor on the scene, and the trademark smile only flashed very reluctantly occasionally, and more often, her face was clouded.

Concubine Zhou, who had a smiling face like a flower, led the princess of Chongqing inside, and as soon as the queen met Concubine Zhou's shining eyes, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but tremble slightly, and she looked away, beside the radiant Concubine Zhou, the nurse was holding a baby, needless to say, he was the little prince Zhu Jianshen!

At this moment, all the gentle and virtuous women seemed to have disappeared from their bones, she stared at the baby in the nurse's arms, and an evil voice rolled in her ears like thunder: strangle him!

The Empress Dowager slowly entered, and in the midst of everyone's congratulations, she habitually turned her head to search for Concubine Wu's figure, and she didn't notice the difference in the queen's complexion over there.

Concubine Wu still couldn't get out of Chang'an Palace for half a step, and at this time, those surviving concubines and concubines gave their salutes and gathered in a remote corner to talk about their "sunset red" topic, during which naturally they couldn't see Concubine Wu.

The Queen Mother sat down on the high platform with a little disappointment.

The Qin family walked in, and Juan'er followed her with Princess Chun'an in her arms, followed by a nurse on the side. After the Qin clan went to various places to salute or say hello, they took their seats next to Concubine Zhou.

"Sister Qin, what do you think of my hair bun today?" Concubine Zhou tilted her head and looked at Qin's Dao with a smile.

Qin Shi sighed exaggeratedly, "My sister is really good at changing tricks, and she will teach her sister Ming'er." ”

Concubine Zhou covered her mouth and smiled, "It's easy to say." ”

Hearing Zhou and Qin chatting lively, the queen couldn't help but look sideways, and saw that Concubine Zhou was surrounded by many concubines, many of whom were giving New Year's money or delicate small gifts to the princess and the little prince of Chongqing.

Hmph, it's all stinky feet! The queen scolded secretly, and then looked at the Qin family's side, there were also many concubines surrounding there.

When I looked back at my side, it was empty!

Thinking that Concubine Wan was shy and had a big belly, she naturally couldn't shake rashly in a crowded place, so she told her to live in a simple place. If it weren't for that, with ten thousand concubines by his side, why would he end up in a lonely situation?

Concubine Wan? Thinking of Concubine Wan, the queen couldn't help but feel sad: Okay, you are a concubine, you don't know how to compete for time when you have a child, how can you let Concubine Zhou take the lead!

Qin cast a soft gaze, which made the queen's heart warm, and the trademark light smile finally climbed the corner of her mouth.

As soon as the figure in the hall flickered, I saw dozens of attendants and palace maids began to pass meals and dishes, and on the side of the hall, a large number of dancers were lining up, ready to enter the hall to dance.

The palace music suddenly sounded, and the minds of everyone were quickly brought into a dreamlike beautiful scenery.

Qin got up, hugged the little prince from the nurse's arms, and teased it, the little prince suddenly laughed, and his two little hands waved from time to time, looking cute and cute.

"He is very close to Sister Qin!" Concubine Zhou sighed happily, and then laughed with the concubines beside her.

The Qin family came to the queen with the little prince in his arms, "Queen Mother, the little prince is very cute, do you want to hug him?" ”

Because of the embarrassment, the queen stood up very reluctantly, took the little prince and held it in her arms, after all, she was a person who had never given birth, and the posture of holding the baby in her arms was quite clumsy.

But the little prince also knows how to recognize life, but he still can't smile in Qin's arms, and when he arrives in the queen's arms, a small mouth deflated into a slit, staring blankly at the queen, looking at that, he may cry at any time.

"Little prince, call someone quickly, the one who holds you is the queen mother; The one over there is the mother, you have to remember. The Qin clan teased the little prince and said.

Queen mother? The queen suddenly felt her heart tremble for a while, and the taste was as uncomfortable as poison piercing her intestines.

"When His Royal Highness the prince babbles, I'm afraid he will shout 'Queen Mother' at Concubine Zhou!"

The rumor suddenly echoed in her ears, and the queen's emotions were almost out of control, and she inadvertently added strength to her hands, and looked at the little prince with extremely sharp eyes, as if she had seen several generations of enemies.

The queen mother over there saw that the queen's eyes were frightened, and stood up straight. Concubine Zhou has already run away.

That's enough! When the Qin family saw such a scene, they felt that it was time to end, so they wanted to take over the little prince from the queen.

Suddenly, not far away, the immature voice of the princess of Chongqing came: "Queen Mother." ”

Do you call Concubine Zhou the queen mother? Could it be that the decree of the deposed queen has been made? The queen's brain was short-circuited in an instant, and I was afraid that she couldn't even tell what night it was. She let go of her hands in a daze, and the little prince fell to the ground.

Almost at the same moment, the queen suddenly turned her head and looked at the princess of Chongqing, only to see that the princess of Chongqing was led by a low-ranking concubine and was looking at her for a moment.

Qin Shi on the side was stunned for a moment, she quickly came back to her senses, bent down and threw herself on the ground, her fingers touched the hard floor tiles, and the pain pierced her heart. But fortunately, she was able to catch the little prince!

The Qin clan lay on his back on the ground and hugged the little prince tightly. It's amazing to say, at this moment, the little prince didn't seem to have happened, he just looked at the Qin family and laughed, and kept stretching his arms and kicking his legs.

Concubine Zhou pounced, "Queen, you are so vicious!" ”

The Queen Mother followed quickly, blocking the angry Concubine Zhou, glanced at the little prince, breathed a long sigh of relief, and then took the little prince and held him in her arms, "My grandson, are you okay?" ”

The queen knelt on the ground, "The queen mother, the concubine missed for a while, and almost made a big mistake, please punish the queen mother!" ”

The queen mother returned the little prince to Concubine Zhou, and looked at the queen coldly for a long time, "Alas, it's no wonder you, after all, you have never given birth to a child and don't know how to be a mother." Be careful! ”

Before the queen could calm down, the queen mother turned to help the Qin family with her own hands, "Concubine Qin, you are not injured, are you?" At a glance, he saw that blood was dripping from the tips of Qin's fingers, "Someone, quickly pass on the female doctor and apply medicine to Concubine Qin!" ”
