Concubine Cheng held back her anger and returned to Qixiang Palace, thinking secretly, she had already heard that Concubine Yu had been bullied by Xiao Guo's when she was still a perennial person, how could she speak for her today? Do you just want to pretend to be virtuous in front of the emperor?

Thinking about it, she still feels that it is wrong, she always feels that today's events are very strange, but she also thinks that she has been in the palace for a short time, and it is possible that there are many things that she does not know.

"Zhuliu, what's going on with that brocade nobleman?"

Seeing Concubine Cheng's puzzled face, Zhuliu suddenly understood, when the poisoning of the Jin nobles was in an uproar, Niangniang had just entered the palace, and it was normal not to know, Hurriedly knelt down and asked for sin, "Please Niangniang atone, this matter is a dereliction of duty on the part of the slave." ”

"What's going on? You knelt down as you spoke, what the hell is going on? ”

Zhuliu's reaction deepened the doubts in Cheng Concubine's heart, and soon Zhu Liu clearly explained the ins and outs of the matter, and Cheng Concubine suddenly realized.

It turned out that that kind of thing happened to Jin Guiren, Concubine Cheng regretted it in her heart, how could she mention that incident in front of the emperor, if her behavior was a little more excessive at that time, maybe she would be reprimanded by the emperor.

After remorse, there is a burst of fear, these days, the relationship between the queen mother and the emperor is visible to the naked eye and not harmonious, her life is also walking on thin ice, so she has been cautious in front of the emperor, even saying one more word has to think for a long time, but today she almost made a big mistake!

However, then Concubine Cheng's eyes flickered, and her eyes gradually became cold, and it was not an accident that she went to the imperial garden today, but listened to the slander of a little palace maid.

After kissing for a few days, the little palace maid named Ping'er told her that now the Jin Guiren is pampered and arrogant, and she speaks ill of her in the imperial garden all day long, so she will go to the imperial garden today, just to save face, but she didn't expect to fall into the game made by her.

Concubine Cheng slapped the table, her eyes were full of anger, and someone dared to plot against her, "It's really hateful, Zhuliu, you go and ask someone to deal with the little palace maid named Ping'er, this palace doesn't want to see her in Qixiang Palace again!" ”

Xiao Guo's returned to the palace in a gloomy manner, but he was also unconvinced in his heart, didn't Nian'er already say that today's things had been planned, and when the time came, she pretended to be pitiful and aroused the emperor's pity, maybe she could go further, how could a jade concubine suddenly appear? She was humiliated by her.

As soon as she entered the door, Nian'er saw that Xiao Guo's face was not good, and Qingruo behind her was also a sincere and frightened look, as soon as she saw the two of them, Nian'er knew that today's plan had failed, and just wanted to step forward to comfort a few words, she ushered in a scolding from Xiao Guo's face: "Didn't you say that the plan will definitely succeed?" It's a good thing, the emperor didn't come, and the little master was scolded for a long time for no reason! ”

Nian'er's eyes flashed with anger, her face wrinkled slightly, and she said in a dull voice: "The little master is angry, the slave maid thinks that there must be a reason why today's plan didn't succeed." ”

Xiao Guo's face was unwilling, and he said angrily: "Yes, it's all to blame on that Jade Concubine, if it weren't for her, the emperor would have come here a long time ago." ”

A look of surprise suddenly appeared in front of Nian'er, and he walked to Xiao Guo's side, "What the little master said is right, that Jade Concubine Niangniang is a stumbling block, and if Xiao Zhu wants to be promoted, he must get rid of Jade Concubine Niangniang first." ”

Nian'er seems to have a kind of magic power, as long as she meets her, Xiao Guo's will become obedient, under Nian'er's continuous encouragement, Xiao Guo's emotions become more and more angry, and there seems to be only one thought left in his mind, that is, he must get rid of the jade concubine!

After lunch the next day, Shu Wan was looking through the account books in the palace, but an uninvited guest suddenly came.

"The slave maid asks for peace to the jade concubine."

The old lady in front of her was blessed, and her expression and attitude were quite respectful.

Although she has been in the palace for many years, Shu Wan is not familiar with this old woman, she seems to have seen her a few times, but she can't name it, the old lady saw this, and smiled unmindfully, "It's normal for the mother to not know the slave maid, the slave maid's surname is Bai, and she is serving by the queen mother's side." ”

"Mama Bai, please get up, know how to do it, and quickly take a seat for Mama Bai."

Shu Wan nodded, the Queen Mother just came back from the temple three days ago, she didn't have a good rest, what was the matter with letting an old lady come to her palace?

"Niangniang doesn't have to be polite, the queen mother heard that the jade concubine Niangniang had another little brother, and she wanted to come back for a long time, but unfortunately she had a headache and could only be raised in the mountains for a few days.

"Oh, I see."

Shu Wan's face did not change, but from the time Mama Bai said the words 'little brother', she knew what the queen mother's idea was, but she just wanted to hug her little brother, after all, the queen mother had also raised Yi Concubine's little brother in history.

But it was a fantasy to dare to hit her head with the idea and want to raise her child!

Although he thought so, what he said was: "The Queen Mother has a heart, it is his blessing that the little brother can win the favor of the Queen Mother, Zhiqiu, let the little brother come over." ”

Mama Bai's smile grew, "Don't worry, the slaves and maids will definitely take care of the little brother." ”

After sending away Mama Bai, the corners of Shu Wan's mouth drooped, the queen mother has always wanted a child, this is known to everyone in the palace, and now she is the only one in the palace who has two healthy little brothers under her knees, if the queen mother really wants it, Kangxi should not refuse.

Shu Wan's eyes gradually became sharp, and she wanted to take her child away, unless she died!

leaned into Zhixing's ear and whispered: "Zhixing, you will let people send news to Yikun Palace, just say that..."

Mama Bai carried the little brother back to Yongshou Palace, and sure enough, a white and chubby little brother, the queen mother's face bloomed with brilliance, and her hand gently touched the face of the little brother, and she kept saying: "It's good, it's good." ”

The Empress Dowager on the side was also very happy to see this scene, "Qiqige, take a closer look to see if you like this child." ”

The queen mother picked up the little brother like holding a precious treasure, her hands trembled uncontrollably, and the little brother who felt uncomfortable smashed his lips and did not cry.

"Yes, the mourning family looks at this child as if he is an honest man," the Empress Dowager nodded, "If you like it, I will take it to you and raise it." ”

"Is this really possible?" Although he wanted to refuse, but in his heart he couldn't stop being happy, the queen mother held the little brother's hand and tightened it suddenly, and the little brother felt the pain, so he cried wow.

The queen mother hurriedly coaxed the little brother, and she didn't know where to put the hand holding the handkerchief.

Seeing that the queen mother's face, which had been depressed for many years, finally bloomed with a smile again, the queen mother finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Shu Wan waited at the gate of the palace until it was dark, only to see Mama Bai holding the little brother back in a sedan chair, and she hurriedly stepped forward to hug the little brother back.

"Don't worry, the Queen Mother played with the little brother for a while today, and the little brother is already asleep at this time," Bai Mama said with a smile: "The Queen Mother said, the little brother is smart and cute, and I want to see the little brother again tomorrow." ”

Shu Wan replied politely: "That's naturally good, but the little brother loves to sleep, and Mama has to come a little later." ”

"Yes, the slave knows."

After saying some more words, she sent Mama Bai away, Shu Wan looked at the back of Mama Bai and her party leaving, and her fists clenched unconsciously.

After Mama Bai returned to Yongshou Palace, the Queen Mother was still thinking about the little brother, and kept talking to the palace maid next to her about the interesting story of the little brother today, and the smile on her face never stopped.

Seeing that Mama Bai was back, the Queen Mother changed her words and hurriedly asked, "How is it, is Concubine Yu dissatisfied?" ”

"The Queen Mother is relieved, from beginning to end, Concubine Yu Niangniang did not show a trace of dissatisfaction, and said that it is the blessing of the little brother to win the favor of the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother showed a satisfied look and patted her heart, "That's good, that's good, Concubine Yu is really sensible." ”

"Not really."

Knowing that when she went to bed at night, the queen mother still held the little brother wholeheartedly, and when she thought of the fat little brother, her heart was full, and Mama Bai persuaded her many times, and then she fell asleep happily.

That night, Yi Concubine, who received the news, also had trouble sleeping, but her insomnia was due to another reason.

Today she received news that the queen mother wanted to hold the little brother who was just born in the jade concubine, Yi Concubine pulled the veil unwillingly, how could the jade concubine be so lucky, if the little brother was really carried by the queen mother, wouldn't it be equivalent to having the queen mother as a backer in the palace in the future.

The more Yi Concubine thought about it, the more she couldn't sleep, she tried her best to please the Queen Mother, but in the end, the bamboo basket was empty, which made her swallow this breath.

"Sangguo, light the lamp, I can't sleep in this palace."

Yi Concubine put on a dress and got out of bed, sat at the table with deep brows, now that Concubine Yu has won the favor of the emperor, if there is another queen mother as her backer, then she will not be allowed to cover the sky in the palace with one hand?

No, she couldn't let that happen!

Mama Guo on the side narrowed her eyes and said slowly: "Niangniang, according to the old slave, there is no need to worry about this matter." ”

"Why did Mama say that? The queen mother is clearly the little brother who wants to raise the jade concubine, what should the palace do now? ”

"If the queen mother wants to take away the little brother, then the jade concubine must be willing, as long as the jade concubine is unwilling, the little brother will not be able to take it away for a while."

Yi Concubine is right to listen to it and think about it, just with the emperor's favor for the jade concubine, if she really doesn't want the little brother to be taken away, maybe the emperor will agree, but...

"Hmph, I'm afraid she's very happy."

Who wouldn't want to exchange a child for a backer, and besides, it's not that I can't see it in the future, anyway, they are all raised in the palace, so what's the difference between who they are? In the eyes of the current Yi Concubine, this seems to be a very cost-effective thing.

As soon as Mama Guo heard it, she knew that Yi Concubine had not fully experienced the taste of being a mother, and when she really became a mother, she would understand the pain of being separated from your flesh and bones, which was like taking a piece of meat from your heart alive, tormenting you all the time.

sighed secretly, and just wanted to step forward to persuade a few words, but she was afraid that Yi Concubine would make a decision that she would regret on impulse, but she thought that there was a difference between master and servant, so she finally held back.
