Cheng Jinrong rarely straightened his face and said something mean.

Emperor Xuanping was full of shame, and immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to blame you." I was stunned by the queen's anger today, and I spoke out of proportion, so don't take it to heart. ”

Cheng Jinrong slowed down his voice: "The emperor trusts me very much, and the queen has always had some whispers in her heart. I can't get involved in such things at will. Otherwise, I won't be able to stay in this palace. I also ask the emperor to understand the difficulties of Weichen. ”

Not to mention that their sister and brother did not officially recognize each other, they did, and it was inconvenient for her to get involved too much between the emperor and the queen.

Like Princess Kangning, she enters the palace every ten days and a half to ask for peace, and basically doesn't ask much about everything in the palace. In this way, he can maintain a harmonious relationship with Empress Dowager Pei and Empress Liang.

Emperor Xuanping became more and more ashamed, and sighed: "It's all mine, it's embarrassing for my sister." ”

Cheng Jinrong looked at Emperor Xuanping like this, and was a little distressed, so he softened his voice and said, "In the end, this is not a big deal. Husband and wife live their lives, how can they not quarrel and not be angry. After a few days, it will be fine. ”

Emperor Xuanping thought of Empress Liang, and couldn't help but snort heavily: "I don't want to pay attention to her." ”

Cheng Jinrong turned a deaf ear to such angry words, and only advised: "It's getting late, the emperor should go to bed early." ”

……

Queen Liang cried for half the night, and she didn't fall asleep in the second half of the night.

The next day, Queen Liang said that she was not sick.

The palace maid in the Jiaofang Hall said respectfully to the Empress Dowager Pei: "...... The queen mother occasionally felt cold yesterday, and this morning she was dizzy and bedridden, so she couldn't come to say hello to the queen mother. Please don't be surprised. ”

In the past few years, Empress Dowager Pei has been widowed in the deep palace, and there are shallow wrinkles on her forehead and eyes.

As the years go by, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she will grow old day by day.

Empress Dowager Pei gradually became old, her demeanor was calm, and she said lightly: "Since the queen is sick, let her recuperate." Don't worry about coming to say goodbye to the mourners. ”

The palace maid said yes and immediately retired.

Empress Dowager Pei sent the palace maids around her to send some supplements, and sighed to Concubine Gu Shu and Concubine Yu: "The queen is still young, she works all day long, and she has to take care of the emperor's dragon body, she is overworked and falls ill on the couch. The mourning family was also very distressed, so she was saved from morning and dusk, so that she could rest. ”

Concubine Gu Shu and Concubine Yu knew it in their hearts, but they didn't say anything, and said in the voice of the Empress Dowager Pei: "The Empress Dowager is kind and sympathetic to the queen, and it is also a false story of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to spread it." ”

"Exactly, the mother-in-law is benevolent, and the daughter-in-law is filial, which can be an example for Dachu."

The scene has been done enough, and the face that should be given to Queen Liang has also been given.

In private, Empress Dowager Pei said to Cheng Jinrong: "This Liang family looked good in the past. Now it seems that he is still a little narrow-minded. ”

"The emperor was assassinated by several brothers from the concubine and almost died in Jiuquan. He hated the word concubine. Liang was self-righteous, but he didn't know that he had hit the emperor's sore spot. ”

"It's also a good thing to let her be grounded for a while, so that she can be completely sober and think clearly."

Cheng Jinrong smiled and comforted the Empress Dowager Pei: "Don't worry about the Empress Dowager. There is no one who does not quarrel and quarrel when young couples live. The emperor and queen are still young, and once in a while, just let them make trouble. ”

Empress Dowager Pei snorted lightly: "The mourning family doesn't care about them." The mourning family is now reassuring to retire in Renhe Palace. If they want to make noise or make trouble, let them go. ”

Empress Dowager Pei paused, and suddenly asked Cheng Jinrong: "Did the queen ever look for you and ask you to help pick two palace maids?" ”

In the harem, nothing can be hidden from Empress Dowager Pei.

Cheng Jinrong did not deny it: "I didn't respond at that time, and persuaded the queen mother a few words." It's just that the queen didn't listen to it, so she turned her head and found Imperial Doctor Zhou. ”

Empress Dowager Pei snorted again, and didn't say anything about her daughter-in-law in front of her daughter.

Cheng Jinrong comforted Empress Dowager Pei in turn: "The queen doesn't know that the emperor and I are sisters and brothers. When she saw that the emperor trusted me, she felt a little apprehensive. This is also human nature. Don't be angry with the queen for these little things. ”

Empress Dowager Pei was silent for a moment, and sighed: "Jinrong, I have wronged you." ”

For the peace of the harem and the harmony of the emperor and queen, Cheng Jinrong never bothered with Queen Liang. Otherwise, as long as she sues in private, how can Empress Dowager Pei and Emperor Xuanping not support her?

Cheng Jinrong smiled slightly: "Niangniang feels sorry for me, I am not wronged at all." ”

Empress Dowager Pei smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "Now the court is quite peaceful, and the emperor is getting healthy day by day." In the future, He Qi will go to the border to be the main general, and you can go with him! ”

"It is also a taste for husband and wife to live together in one place."

Cheng Jinrong never talked to Empress Dowager Pei about leaving Beijing. However, Empress Dowager Pei had already thought of this.

Cheng Jinrong's heart was slightly hot, and he looked at his mother: "I plan to do the same." Next year will be the year of the emperor's weak crown, everything in the palace is too peaceful, and He Qi and I should also leave. ”

Empress Dowager Pei stretched out her hand, stroked Cheng Jinrong's cheek, and said softly, "Okay." If you stay for another year, you will leave the capital and leave the court!" ”

……

Queen Liang's illness is half a month.

Empress Liang was recuperating in the Jiaofang Palace, and Emperor Xuanping, who was busy with political affairs, had no time to visit the queen in the Jiaofang Palace, and sent Ding's father-in-law to the Jiaofang Palace every day.

In this way, it can be regarded as the face and decency of Queen Liang.

On this day, Gonggong Ding came with a bunch of supplements and said attentively: "The slave is ordered by the emperor to come to the queen to say goodbye." These are all supplements prepared by the emperor and the minions, please accept them. ”

The haggard and thin Queen Liang sat on the phoenix couch, covered with a thick futon, and still felt cold hands and feet.

Her illness was not faked. That night, Emperor Xuanping left in a rage, she cried for half the night, and then became feverish in the second half of the night. The next day, I was bedridden.

In the past half a month, Dr. Zhou asked for her pulse every day and prescribed prescriptions. The bitter decoction is half a month after drinking. But she was still sick.

"You go back to your life and thank the emperor for your grace on behalf of the palace." Empress Liang's voice was weak and weak, with a hint of sadness.

Father-in-law Ding came every day.

Emperor Xuanping never came.

Outsiders saw that she was still favored as a queen, but she became more and more frightened and sad in her heart.

After Gonggong Ding should get down, he surrendered and retired. Empress Liang bit her lip, endured the embarrassment, and said softly: "Father-in-law Ding is slow." I haven't seen the emperor in this palace for some days. How is the emperor doing lately? ”

Hasn't the emperor been angry yet?

When will you come to see her?

Gonggong Ding only didn't understand Queen Liang's hint, and responded with a smile: "The emperor is busy with the review and review of the court every day, getting up early and going to bed late, but fortunately, the dragon body is still healthy." The queen mother recuperates with peace of mind and does not have to worry about the emperor. ”

After speaking, Ding Gong announced his retreat.

Empress Liang's eyes shone with water, and soon turned into tears and slid down.
