"Since you have already thought about what you want to send the Queen Mother, don't be polite to the palace, we are all our sisters, if you lack anything, just say, there is one, this year's birthday gift, you don't have to prepare too grandly, the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, plus the border war, if the Queen Mother is extravagant and wasteful of her birthday, she must not be criticized by the people of the world, the emperor has not heard any movement until now, I am afraid that I also want to test the attitude of the Queen Mother, you and prepare, the clothes do not need to be luxurious, as long as you use ingenuity, can also please the Queen Mother. ”

Jing Chuchu almost didn't have to think about it to guess that the Queen Mother's birthday this year was destined not to be as big as in previous years.

Concubine Wan looked at him with admiration in her eyes: "What the concubine said is very reasonable, the concubine is deeply admired, thank you for your advice." ”

"Cui Ping, take Concubine Wan to the warehouse to see if there is anything suitable." Jing Chuchu didn't stay with her, although there were still three months before the queen mother's birthday, in the end, she had to prepare carefully, and it was not okay if she didn't have enough time.

Wan Concubine left with a thousand thanks.

Lu Zhu didn't understand: "Niangniang, why do you want to point out the concubine?" Anyway, she is also the emperor's concubine, if she wins the favor of the queen mother, what should she do when she competes with you for favor? ”

After these days, the concubines have been fighting openly and secretly, and they have become more vigilant in their hearts.

"Don't worry! Concubine Wan is friendly with the palace, and now everyone in the palace knows that it is good not to be an enemy of her, and the concubine itself has no use value, and pleasing the queen mother is only temporary, and it cannot threaten the head of the palace. ”

She's not stupid, she can't dig a hole for herself and set up enemies, right? Anyway, everyone is a sister.

"Niangniang, we should always be careful, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, no one knows what others think in their hearts, only by grasping it themselves, can we win steadily."

Jing Chuchu wrinkled her nose, looking at the entire palace, almost all of them were already her enemies, and without one or two sisters who could speak to her heart, how much failure she would be.

"Niangniang, the slave maid feels that the heart of defense is indispensable, no matter what, although the concubine looks harmless, but a little more guarded, always prepared."

Lu Zhu didn't care if her mother could listen to her, she just felt that if she encountered a problem, she had to make it clear to her.

Jing Chuchu waved his hand helplessly, this little guy is becoming more and more worried, but it is all for her good, so there is nothing to blame.

Lan Ruyue spent most of the day visiting the concubines of the palace, and only then did she provoke a trace of suspicion, and seeing that the ratings were crowded into the Chengen Palace, she was ready to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Ruhua ran over in a hurry at this time.

"Niangniang, the slave maid just heard that nothing happened in the Cheng'en Palace, and I heard the little palace maid who sprinkled the sweep say that the concubines talked to the concubine about the queen mother's birthday, at this time in previous years, the emperor has basically begun to prepare, but there has been no movement this year so far, and everyone is speculating."

Lan Ruyue clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth: "So what? ”

"So the concubines just said a few words to the concubine, and then went back to get busy, estimating that someone has gone to the emperor now, but they didn't have any conflicts with the concubine."

The more Ruhua spoke, the quieter her voice became, and seeing that Concubine Lan was about to get angry again, she shrank her body, ready to be beaten.

Concubine Lan used her to vent her anger every time she was angry, although she was used to it, but she always felt that she couldn't help but be afraid when she thought that she would suffer again.

"Heh~ I really didn't expect that the concubine still had some ability, and the palace thought that today he was going to turn his face with those concubines and become an enemy on the surface, how much ability did he have to make those concubines not be enemies with her?"

Lan Ruyue was very angry, but she couldn't be angry, otherwise her stomach would rumble, she barely slept all night last night, and she had no strength to be angry at this time.

"Niangniang, I tossed for a night yesterday, and I walked so many places today, Niangniang's face is a little not good, why don't you rest early?" Ruhua came over and helped her to walk on the soft couch.

Lan Ruyue is now also full of thoughts about how to prepare a birthday gift for the Queen Mother.

"Ruhua, this palace will definitely not be able to get up in the past few days, and you will send someone out to the palaces to inquire and see what tricks the concubines have prepared for the Queen Mother's birthday this year?"

She hates the concubine to the core, and now she is catching up with the queen mother's birthday, she can't be left behind.

"The concubine can be considered lucky this time, and when the palace recovers neatly, I will settle accounts with her."

Jing Chuchu was also thinking about what to give to the Queen Mother?

"Luzhu, usually you have to pay the most attention, now think about it for the palace, what is the most suitable thing for the Queen Mother? This year has caught up with the bad time, and the weight loss naturally can't be too luxurious. ”

"Don't worry, the slave and maid actually have some methods here, but they may have to trouble the third son, he has everything there, just pick a baby and give it to the queen mother, and he can't make a mistake." Why do you have to bother to ponder the green beads? It's all ready-made stuff.

When Jing Chuchu heard him say this, he couldn't help but poke her head with his hand: "You! It's a shame that you're a little clever, this method is good, but the third brother has already spent a lot of money in order to build the palace, and it is estimated that his purse has almost deflated due to the floods in Jiangnan this year, and at this time, how can the palace bear to exploit him again? Let's figure it out for ourselves. ”

Jing Chuchu didn't plan to rely on her family, at least she didn't go to her third brother to ask for money, and tried her best to solve it herself.

Cui Ping sent Wan Concubine away, and went out for a walk before coming back.

"Niangniang, the slave maid just saw the emperor go to the queen mother's palace outside, and I heard that the emperor will go to the queen mother every day to ask for peace recently, and the thunder can't move."

Cui Ping seemed to have discovered a new world, she just wanted to speak, but Jing Chuchu spoke out and blocked back what he wanted to say.

"Don't think too much, this palace will definitely not go to the Queen Mother to find it unhappy now, but the emperor should ask the Queen Mother for peace, isn't it annoying to be disgusted by the bright past?" If the emperor doesn't come, she is rarely pure, the queen mother doesn't like her in the first place, and she rushes over with her eyes, isn't it for herself to find unhappiness?

"Niangniang, Concubine Shu will go to the Queen Mother almost every day, although the emperor will not stay for a long time, she can say a few words to the emperor, and it will inevitably ...... after a long time" Cui Ping was a little worried that Concubine Shu was trying her best, and the Queen Mother supported her, but I was afraid that she would be able to enter the emperor's eyes after a long time.

"Don't worry, if the emperor is really interested in Concubine Shu, there is no need for her to run to the queen mother every day, the emperor's filial piety is one thing, and being forced to stuff a woman is another, let's live as usual as we want."

The emperor is also a human being, and the queen mother forced the concubine to the emperor, not to mention whether the emperor was happy or not, and she would not like the concubine because of this.
