Near evening, Emperor Xuanhe came to the Jiaofang Palace.

The chamberlain came to pass on the message, and Queen Pei smiled, but a trace of gloom flashed in her eyes.

During this period of time, the number of times Emperor Xuanhe came to the Jiaofang Hall was quite frequent. Queen Pei added a layer of worry to her heart. However, this hidden concern is inconvenient to say.

Even in front of Cheng Jinrong, she couldn't speak.

Cheng Jinrong knew Queen Pei's thoughts well, and by stepping forward to support her, she glanced at Queen Pei comfortingly, and said softly: "Niangniang has been ill for several years, and now although she is gradually improving, the phoenix body is still weak. If you don't say the least, you have to raise it for a year and a half. ”

Empress Pei's eyes lit up slightly.

Oh, yes! On the grounds of recuperation, it can be delayed for a year, to say the least. During the year, there is always a way to deal with it.

Empress Pei settled down and saluted: "The concubine has seen the emperor." ”

Emperor Xuanhe said warmly: "The queen is weak, so there is no need to be polite. ”

Empress Pei thanked her, then got up, and the emperor and queen took their seats.

Emperor Xuanhe came here on purpose to discuss with Empress Pei. Emperor Xuanhe opened his mouth and asked Empress Pei: "Today's ladies, who does the queen think is the most outstanding?" ”

Empress Pei responded softly: "The princes' family affairs, I want to come to the emperor for a long time. The concubines obey the emperor in everything. ”

Emperor Xuanhe's eyes flashed with satisfaction.

Emperor Zheng Guifei has been in charge of the Six Palaces for several years, and her heart has been enlarged. In the past two years, there have been some careful thoughts and small actions, which are unpleasant.

But Queen Pei, who has been like a day for several years, does not take power and does not make trouble. Even the relatives of the second prince did not say a word.

Emperor Xuanhe's voice softened: "There are no outsiders here, only I and the Empress." What the queen thinks in her heart, it doesn't hurt to talk to me. ”

"Does the queen like Miss Pei Wu?"

Everyone has selfish intentions. The Yong'an Hou Mansion is the maiden home of Empress Pei. Queen Pei wants to take her niece as her daughter-in-law, which is reasonable.

Empress Pei replied without thinking: "The concubine has never had such thoughts. After a pause, he said softly: "The concubine thinks that the second lady of the Weiguo Mansion is dignified and calm, which is quite in line with the eyes of the concubine." ”

The second prince wanted to marry Miss Jiang Er, and clearly pleaded with her, the "queen mother", about this. is reasonable, Queen Pei has to mention it.

Whether it succeeds or not, it depends on Emperor Xuanhe's intentions.

Emperor Xuanhe frowned: "Miss Jiang Er lost her honor in public today, where can she afford the word calm." ”

Empress Pei did not argue, and responded softly: "What the emperor said is true." ”

Emperor Xuanhe pondered for a moment, and then changed his words: "The strings broke suddenly, no one expected it, but you can't blame a girl's family." "If you change to another girl, I don't know what you will be scared of. Miss Jiang Er was shocked and not flustered, this kind of heart is also rare.

Empress Pei didn't say anything.

Emperor Xuanhe thought about it and asked again: "How is the girl of the Zheng family and the girl of the Wei family?" ”

Empress Pei responded: "If the emperor looks good, it must be excellent." ”

Emperor Xuanhe: "......"

Emperor Zheng's concubine had too many calculations, which made him dislike. Empress Pei has no desires and no desires, and is indifferent to the selection of the princess. It's worry-free, but there is inexplicable anger in my heart.

Emperor Xuanhe's expression suddenly cooled, and he didn't say anything more, and left the Jiaofang Palace.

It can be described as moody, and he turns his face in an instant.

Queen Pei couldn't ask for it, so she hurriedly got up and sent the Son of Heaven away.

……

Zhongcui Palace.

The palace maid whispered: "Qi Qi Imperial Concubine Niangniang, the emperor went to the Jiaofang Palace, and left the palace in less than a stick of incense." ”

Emperor Xuanhe's temperament was uncertain and could occur at any time. Even her, the "Interpretation Flower", will anger Emperor Xuanhe if she is not careful. I don't know what Empress Pei said, which made Emperor Xuanhe angry and unhappy.

Emperor Zheng's concubine thought about it and asked in a low voice, "Where did the emperor go?" But Jingyang Palace? Or Zhaoning Palace? ”

Jingyang Palace is the dormitory of Concubine Wei Xian.

Zhaoning Palace is the dormitory of Concubine Gu Shu.

The palace maid hung her head, not daring to look at the face of Emperor Zheng's concubine: "The slave maid heard that the emperor returned to the Baohe Palace and summoned Zhao Guiren from Jingya Palace to serve him. ”

In Jingya Palace, there are several young concubines. They were all drafted into the palace two years ago. This Zhao Guiren has neither given birth to a prince or princess, nor does he have any outstanding family background. is not as glamorous as Emperor Zheng's concubine.

There is only one that Emperor Zheng and Concubine can't compare. Zhao Guiren is eighteen years old and in the prime of his youth.

Emperor Zheng's complexion really changed, and she clenched her fists hard, and her red nails painted with Kodan stabbed into her palms. The flame of jealousy in my heart was burning.

Emperor Xuanhe is not greedy for beauty. However, as the Son of Heaven, it is not uncommon to have harem beauties and summon young and beautiful concubines......

The most important thing now is the matter of choosing the princess. She couldn't afford to compete with a young concubine.

Emperor Zheng exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, and pretended to command calmly: "The palace is also lacking, come and wait for the palace to bathe and change clothes." ”

The palace ladies trembled and stepped forward to serve.

During this period of time, Emperor Zheng's temper became more and more irritable and capricious. This is true of women who have reached middle age. But no one dared to open their mouths to persuade Emperor Zheng and Concubine Zheng to summon the imperial doctor to come and prescribe a prescription. The only way to do this is to be more careful.

In less than half an hour, Emperor Zheng's concubine attacked two palace maids who were not serving well.

The two palace maids were also unlucky, and they were each beaten and carried back to the house.

……

Patriotic Mansion.

After Duchess Wei Guo returned home, she angrily reprimanded Jiang Min. Jiang Min cried with red eyes, locked himself in the room, and refused to see anyone.

Mrs. Wei Guogong was anxious and interceded for her daughter: "Mother-in-law is angry, Min'er is dignified and calm on weekdays, and she has never made a mistake in her actions. This time, I must have been under too much pressure and too nervous to pluck the strings......"

"It's easy to say!" Duchess Wei Guo said angrily: "At the Niangniang's birthday banquet, she actually plucked the strings. Lost in front of the saint! The emperor must not like it in his heart. ”

"Tell me how to remedy it!"

Mrs. Wei Guogong was reprimanded so pale that she knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Duchess Wei Guo was full of annoyance and waved her daughter-in-law to step back.

In the evening, Wei Guogong returned home. Duchess Wei Guo told the truth of the matter with a bitter face.

Wei Guogong's face was pale. However, he was quite deep in the city, so he was not angry, and said lightly: "People are not as good as heaven." She didn't have this blessing, so she had to give up. ”

"Besides, the emperor hasn't made an order yet, maybe there will be a slight turnaround."

Duchess Wei Guo sighed and said in a low voice: "I hope the emperor will be magnanimous and not care about Sister Min'er's misdemeanor." ”

Wei Guogong glanced at his old wife.

The emperor chooses the princess, the most important thing is to look at the princess's family background, is it only based on beauty? The woman in the house is really short-sighted.

On this day, a few families are happy and a few are sad, and there is no need to elaborate on them one by one.

No one expected that three days later, the emperor's will to give marriage would arrive at the Weiguo Mansion.
