Chun Xing was afraid that she would drag Miss back, so she hurriedly shook her hand and explained anxiously: "Miss don't need it, now is the very time, the slave maid doesn't want Miss to provoke the people in the Quewei Palace in order to be angry for the slave maid; In fact, you see, although the slave maid walked around the courtyard, she was not injured at all, so miss, you really don't have to bother so much. ”

Looking at the obedient and constantly saying the words of taking pictures of herself in front of herself, Chu Xingyue looked at her silly Chunxing with a smile: "Stupid girl, is it possible that in your heart, your master is so useless, and he doesn't even have the means to be angry for you?" ”

"That's not what slave means."

"Okay, I know you're worried about me, but Chunxing, I also want you to know that I'm not the kind of waste who sees my own people being bullied and can't fight back."

A fierce glint flashed in Chu Xingyue's eyes, "That Meng'e, at first glance, is a vicious girl who has done all the bad things, and keeping her by Zhou Yanran's side will also do us more harm than good; Zhou Yanran attaches great importance to her, killing her is equivalent to breaking half of Zhou Yanran's arm, which can not only give you anger, but also make Zhou Yanran lose a confidant, this deal is so cost-effective, if I don't do it, wouldn't it be stupid? ”

Hearing Chu Xingyue say this, Chun Xing no longer stopped her, but asked curiously: "In that case, how is Miss going to deal with her?" Zhou Guifei is not easy to provoke, if we provoke her in a hurry, she runs to Emperor Showa to complain, what should we do? ”

Chu Xingyue smiled like a fox: "Who said I was going to do it myself?" You forget, last time I was unlucky in the palace, in addition to thanks to Zhou Yanran, there was another person who 'made a great contribution'. ”

Chun Xing immediately thought of Zhao Heng, the Nine Emperor Princes.

"Miss, do you mean His Royal Highness King Heng?"

Chu Xingyue raised the corners of her eyebrows flexibly, and said, "That's right, it's him; Last time, the old lady almost fell into his hands, and I heard that Zhao Ling had already cleaned him up after the incident, but Zhao Ling cleaned it up because he was relieved, and my aunt and grandmother were not relieved. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Xingyue let out a snorting sneer: "The stinky boy is so bold that he dares to hit the old lady with his idea, and the old lady will let him return it with interest; Chunxing, when you turn around, you will send someone to Hengwang's Mansion and tell Zhao Heng that stinky boy that if you don't want to die, you will give the old lady a mellow roll to the Feiyu Courtyard. ”

Chun Xing has always dared to be angry with King Heng, who almost bullied Miss, but now that she heard that Miss was going to use King Heng's hand to clean up the people in the Quewei Palace, she naturally took over the job very happily.

She had already thought about it, and when she left the palace, she would arrange for someone to go to King Heng's Mansion to spread the word, and she was waiting to see how His Royal Highness King Heng, known as the Demon King of the Mixed World, would take the blame in front of the young lady.

It's just that just when Chun Xing was imagining in her mind that His Royal Highness King Heng, who had always been stubborn, was stunned by his own young lady, the young lady suddenly opened her mouth again: "How can the plague occur in a place like the palace, where nobles live?" ”

"The slave and maid do not know much about this; It was when I first entered the Ling Wang's Mansion with the young lady, I overheard an old palace man in the palace who used to serve in the palace mention that it was twenty years ago, there was a very powerful plague in the Hanlian Courtyard in the palace, and those rats were all very large, and they would attack people, and even the Imperial Forest Army could not do it; This matter is like a nightmare for everyone in the palace, and with Emperor Showa's decree to seal his mouth, many people dare not mention it because they are afraid; So slowly, this matter was gradually forgotten over time. ”

"Since Emperor Showa ordered people to burn down the Hanlian Courtyard to eradicate the plague, why are there such big rats in the palace at this time?"

Thinking of the events of the day, Chunxing's little face turned a little pale: "The slave and maid don't know, the slave and maid saw Commander Xiao Gang when they woke up, and the commander told the slave and maid not to tell others what they saw today, so the slave and maid never mentioned this matter to anyone except for Miss." ”

Xiao Gang was under Zhao Ling's orders, and since it was Xiao Gang who explained to Chunxing, it was naturally Zhao Ling's explanation.

However, why did Zhao Ling hide the matter of the giant rat in the Hanlian Courtyard?

Chu Xingyue twisted her eyebrows, and subconsciously felt that Zhao Ling seemed to have something to hide; But she didn't know what she was hiding, and it was hard for her to ask.

But fortunately, she knew that he had always been very principled in doing things, and since he had given such an order, then he had a reason to do so, and she didn't need to worry about him too much.

……

Because she met Zhou Yanran on the road, Chu Xingyue was completely late for entering the palace this time.

By the time she was greeted through the arch of the Imperial Garden, the Imperial Garden was already full of fragrant clothes and sideburns, and laughter was everywhere.

It can be seen that a rare flower-viewing feast held by Queen Jiang is very popular with the ladies present, but no one dares to be presumptuous at the banquet held by the queen.

Therefore, everyone is holding on to the spirit of 120,000 points, each staring at the peony flowers in full bloom in the garden to admire, and from time to time to say a few words of praise to the queen mother sitting on the top seat, everyone's face is extremely obvious.

Although Chu Xingyue said that it was the first time she had seen the queen, in her mind, she also relied on the impressions of some TV series she had watched, and she had somewhat guessed the style and demeanor that the current Great Wei Dynasty should have after a country.

However, when she saw with her own eyes a middle-aged woman in her early fifties dressed in a bright yellow nine-phoenix dress and wearing a golden phoenix crown sitting upright on the phoenix chair, Rao is Chu Xingyue had a calm temperament and was startled.

Oops, I'll go! Is this middle-aged woman in front of her really the Empress Jiang of the Great Wei Dynasty? How can you look at her like this, she seems to be a few points older than Emperor Showa?

That's right, at this moment, even if the Jiang family, who is like the moon by the stars, has become the focus of everyone because of her status, the old look on her face and the aura of not getting along with her bones are really prohibitive.

She had heard that Jiang had a good reputation in Beijing before she got married, and she really couldn't imagine why a beautiful woman who was once a beautiful woman in Beijing would leave traces on her face so clearly as the years.

In fact, if you look closely, Jiang's facial features can be regarded as exquisite, and it is not difficult to see that she was once a beauty.

However, time seems to be particularly cruel to her, the once bright face has long been hung with the wind and frost of the years, it seems that because of the reason for not smiling, her lips always like to purse, and it is precisely because of this action that her nasolabial folds appear particularly clear, and the already thin cheeks are faintly a little mean because of the deep two nasolabial folds.

Chu Xingyue listened to the laughter from the mouths of many young women, she really admired from the bottom of her heart, in the face of such a face that even a child didn't dare to cry when she saw it, how powerful the inner world of these women should be to be able to laugh so happily.

As soon as Chu Xingyue appeared, it attracted the attention of everyone present.

The eyes that looked at each other were indifferent, cold, indifferent, and of course, there were a lot of envy.

After all, today's Chu Xingyue is definitely radiant and peerless, and even the peony flowers placed in the imperial garden have become her foil.

Chu Xingyue has been paying close attention to the Jiang family since she appeared, this Jiang family has really been immersed in the harem for many years, but a face looks faint, and a pair of ancient well-like eyes seem to have no emotion, staring straight at you like this, which makes people feel furious in their hearts.

Chu Xingyue pretended to admit her mistake because she was late, led Chunxing and walked quickly in front of Jiang's family, and made a big salute: "Yue'er has seen the queen's mother, and the mother is blessed with Jin'an." Yue'er encountered some trivial things on the road, delayed the time to come to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers, and asked the queen to surrender. ”

From the moment Chu Xingyue appeared in the Imperial Garden, Jiang Shi's eyes never left that charming face.

Actually, she had seen Chu Xingyue before, but it was in the portrait.

The eldest prince Zhao Xuan was raised under her knees, and he could be regarded as her nominal son, and she took this son very seriously.

Because she had no biological heirs, she almost regarded this nominal son as her own son, and had high hopes for him, giving him the greatest help, hoping that one day he would be able to sit on that supreme throne and bring her and her family the most extreme wealth.

However, her son is a little lustful, and when he was training in Qingzhou, he actually fell in love with the daughter of Hou Chuyi of Jingbei.

You must know that although Chu Yi, Marquis of Jingbei, is a generation of heroes, he has no other use except to lead troops to fight, and his foundation in the capital cannot be compared with other families, so the moment she knew that Zhao Xuan liked Chu Yi's daughter, she immediately made a decision to pinch off the idea of this child.

Since ancient times, if you ascend to the throne one day, you can reign over the world and sit on the four seas.

Therefore, when Zhao Xuan returned to Beijing and proposed to marry Chu Yi's daughter, she not only refused, but also pointed out the daughter of the Su family to him as a princess on the spot.

Those like them who are born for power, even if they marry wives, must marry women from famous families, because the road to succession is too difficult, and you must seize all those who may help you on the road in the future; You are not only married to a wife, but also a powerful family that you have behind your wife.

These words were all told to Zhao Xuan by herself, and it turned out that the child did not live up to her and gritted his teeth to marry Su Yingxue.

But on the day of the wedding, he said to her, "Queen Mother, Erchen listened to your words today, married the daughter of the Su family, and when he was in charge, the first thing his son did was to bring Xiaoyue back to himself, and at that time, I hope that the Queen Mother will be fulfilled." ”

It was the first time she had seen such a deep obsession on the child's face, and she knew very well what that obsession meant, for she had seen it on her husband's face more than once.

That's the deep affection that a man can only reveal when he is really attracted to a woman.

It was precisely because of this that she became curious about Chu Yi's daughter and sent someone to paint a portrait of the first beauty in Qingzhou; Chu Bingyue in the picture scroll is as delicate and bright as the most delicate and bright flower in the sea of flowers, with a pure color between her eyebrows and eyes, and her shy look makes her want to protect her, let alone being seen by a hot-blooded man.

At that time, she faintly remembered the beauty of Chu Bingyue in her heart, and quietly tasted it.

But today, when she saw the beauty in the painting scroll really standing in front of her, she completely understood why her son was so obsessed with her.

In the picture scroll, she is only seven points beautiful, but she is alive, which is enough to make countless men crazy for her.

A trace of mist began to quietly rise in Jiang's eyes, and for some reason, she actually felt that she saw Concubine Yang's shadow on Chu Xingyue's face.
