In addition to the sound of hitting the board, it was also mixed with the sound of begging for mercy, and it was still immature to listen to that sound.

What's going on?

Maybe it was the palace maid who offended the master.

Yuan Wang Jingshu didn't want to pay attention to it, but the female official on the side chattered, and she also listened quietly, "I just saw that the county lord was enjoying the flowers not far away, and I am afraid that some of the careless palace maids collided with her, which caused such a disaster." Princess, just go ahead and ignore it. ”

Since she said it, Wang Jingshu also started talking, and the noisy cries and scolding were endless, "County Lord? "Which county lord?

Which county lord has the courage to make trouble in the palace?

In the palace, it is intolerable for the master to lynch. And now, this is still in broad daylight, blatantly. The sound of the board sounded like it was beating to death.

This female official has long been expressionless, afraid that after staying in this palace for a long time, she has already lost the last trace of humanity.

The female officer whispered, "It's the county lord in the East Palace." The identity of this county lord is very taboo, she didn't plan to mention it, for fear of causing misunderstanding, so she said more, "The prince's own daughter." ”

The prince's own daughter?

The whole country knows that the prince has no heirs.

Where did the daughter come from? Even if there is, unless it is from the crown princess, it cannot be canonized as the county lord.

Wang Jingshu was suspicious, and when she remembered the scandal she heard that day, she felt a chill in her heart. This red wall and green tiles that are shining golden by the sun, but how many palace secrets are hidden?

The more you walk, the louder it gets. Listening to that voice, beating to death like that, in the end, Wang Jingshu couldn't bear it, and sighed lightly, "You can't use lynching in the palace, how can the county lord do this?" ”

"Don't worry about it, princess," the female official has seen a lot of such things, and wants to stop it, "You... Ignore ......"

Wang Jingshu didn't care much in the end. Follow the female officer and walk briskly towards the Fengyi Palace.

She knew that the affairs of the palace were not her business. I just ask God to bless me, and that palace maid can spend it safely.

In her heart, she silently recited all the way to the Fengyi Palace, and this time she was directly invited into the hall.

"Please be a mother."

Wang Jingshu faced this queen's mother-in-law, her heart was uneasy, the first time she entered the palace to thank the queen for what happened to the Guo family, it was obviously the queen's doing, but it was pushed on her head, so that King Ning never liked her. It's a good means to sow discord with its own hands.

"No," Queen Jiang sat on the phoenix seat, the corners of her eyes were a little haggard, and when she saw Wang Jingshu enter the hall, she was a little happy, no longer dignified and self-controlled, and hurriedly instructed the palace maids, "Quick, go and invite the princess to come, just say that her fourth sister-in-law is here." ”

The palace maid immediately retreated, please.

The queen gave the seat, and then chatted with Wang Jingshu, "The queen mother was in a coma last night." The concubines of the six palaces have been serving for half a night, and now the hearts of the harem people are a little fluctuating, so you can stay with Anqing in the princess's house for a while. ”

It's her daughter-in-law, and the queen inevitably asks a few more words, this palace is very chaotic today, "Anqing let you stay in the palace for a few days, what do you think?" ”

I don't know the meaning of the queen's words, Wang Jingshu said truthfully, "The queen mother, son-in-law, living in the palace, I'm afraid it's inappropriate." "She doesn't want to live in the palace and not be free, not to mention that her name is not proper and she is not in accordance with etiquette. Today, she entered the palace mainly to refuse this matter.

The queen knew that she was unwilling, and did not force it, "That's it, as you want." I only have to tell Anqing about this matter yourself. Hongu is not responsible. She knows her daughter's temper very well, she can't persuade her, and if she can persuade her, she won't agree to let Wang Jingshu live in the palace.

Wang Jingshu thought of Princess Anqing, so she had to bite the bullet, say yes, and boldly mention, "Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is sick, and the sons should go to Ninghui Hall to visit the sick." ”

Sickness?

The queen smiled, "It stands to reason that you should be called the imperial grandmother," and suddenly remembered that the daughter-in-law in front of her was thanking her for entering the palace for the first time, and added, "There is a doctor guarding the Ninghui Palace, and there is no major event for the time being, so there is no need to serve the sick." ”

"When the Queen Mother is sober, you will go over and formally meet you."

Wang Jingshu agreed one by one, "Yes." ”

Immediately, there was silence in the hall.

The queen was hiding something in her heart, worried about the queen mother's illness, and heard the imperial doctor say that this fainting was a bit dangerous, if something really happened, what could she do? The Queen Mother is her backer in the harem. In this way, I didn't have time to be polite to Wang Jingshu.

And Wang Jingshu rarely enters the palace, I don't know what to say, is she still chatting with her queen mother-in-law about interesting things about Kyoto? She could see that the queen was worried, and she didn't dare to mention it casually.

Just waiting for Princess Anqing to come.

But the princess hasn't come yet, and the female official of Ninghui Hall came to report, "Niangniang, Your Majesty just went down to the court and made a big fire in the palace, Mrs. Cheng asks you to go and persuade you." ”

Mrs. Cheng, is the younger sister of the Queen Mother's family?

The relatives of the mother's family have also entered the palace, could it be that the queen mother's health is really not good?

Wang Jingshu was shocked.

Not long after the queen returned to Fengyi Palace, she listened to it, no matter how tired she was, she had to ask someone to drive, leaving only her henchmen and maids in the palace.

Wang Jingshu looked at the shadow of Feng Jia's departure, and gradually disappeared, just as the palace maid was next to her, "The queen mother's body is really ...... What's going on? ”

"Your Majesty has sent a letter to Princess Hexian." It may seem like a sentence that is not the answer to the question, but sometimes it is the best answer.

Wang Jingshu knew that Princess Hexian was the only daughter of the Queen Mother and the first emperor, and the princess married a general in her early years, stationed on the frontier all the year round, and rarely went to Kyoto to visit.

Now that Hongyan has gone to the frontier to recall the princess, I am afraid that the queen mother is seriously ill.

Maybe the queen was not there, Wang Jingshu couldn't help but be curious, or maybe she forgot the queen's warning last time, "Fang Cai, when I came, I met the county lord, but which county lord is she?" Could it be that he is sick in the palace? ”

The older palace maid was a lot more serious, and only mentioned one sentence to wake up Wang Jingshu, "Princess, there are some things, it's better not to inquire." ”​

In the imperial city, the last thing you should have is people's curiosity.

Wang Jingshu put away her curiosity, "Yes." ”​

She didn't ask anymore, just sat in the palace and waited for Princess Anqing.

I don't know how long it took for Princess Zhu Yuan of Anqing to come, and it took a lot of time for her to come all the way from the princess.

When he came, he was still angry, shouting in his mouth, don't see that county lord in the imperial city in the future, a wild child, what kind of royal county lord.

But as soon as she saw Wang Jingshu, she threw all her anger out of the clouds, "The fourth sister-in-law is here, Yuan'er misses you." ”

After all, it was in the palace, and in front of the palace maids, Wang Jingshu still couldn't let go, and only called her, Princess Anqing.

Zhu Yuan intimately took her to the courtyard at the back, which was the small courtyard that the queen gave her in the Fengyi Palace, where there were no palace maids, so she could speak with peace of mind.

There was no one around, Wang Jingshu was a little relieved, and she talked to the princess casually.

However, most of the time it is still Zhu Yuan chattering and complaining, one will complain that the imperial city is not more fun than outside the palace, one will complain that Wang Jingshu will not enter the palace to see her, one will complain that no one will play with her, and she is also worried about the fainting of the Queen Mother, especially this, she has been in a bad mood recently, "The imperial grandmother has fainted a few times before, but this time the situation is not good, I almost couldn't wake up last night, I am afraid that she will die." Grandmother was kind to me. ”

In the end, she is a child, how can she understand the thoughts of the adults in the palace? But she understands who is sincere to her. It can be seen that the Queen Mother is really good to her. Wang Jingshu could only comfort softly.

This Zhu Yuan suddenly mentioned the county lord who made her very angry just now. However, with a pure conscience, he said the true identity of the county lord without a city house, "It's just the illegitimate daughter of the prince's brother, what kind of serious county lord, she used lynching there in her turn, and she showed off her might." Now that the prince's brother has no other children, her father took pity on her and took her to live in the imperial city. Others just called the county lord just to please her, and she put up the score. ”

Sure enough, it's an illegitimate daughter.

Wang Jingshu had guessed it before, but now it has been confirmed. However, he sighed even more that the prince was amorous.

"Fourth sister-in-law, don't you know, the princess's sister-in-law has been angry recently, and she has been saying that she can't leave the East Palace because she is sick, just for such an illegitimate daughter, she feels too ashamed."

"Just now I just told her that lynching is not allowed in the palace. What's more, now that the Queen Mother is sick, her father said that you can't punish the palace people, and the palace must pray for the Queen Mother. But she didn't listen, but she wanted to oppose me. ”

Wang Jingshu just listened to Zhu Yuan's chatter quietly without inserting a word. She heard that the relationship between the emperor and the queen mother is not good, why is the queen mother seriously ill but wants to close the palace to pray for blessings, is it just for the people of the world to see? Maybe it's also for the princess who is far away on the frontier.

The sister-in-law here said this, and the palace people over there had already reported to the emperor in the Ninghui Palace: The county lord of the East Palace killed a small palace maid.

The hall was full of concubines, all of whom were shocked. This is not a trivial matter, not to mention that the palace regulations cannot use lynching, just say that the emperor personally issued an order that no palace people should be killed, and that the sick queen mother should be prayed.

Now that kid has broken into this kind of thing, this is a provocation to the authority of the emperor.

The queen looked at Emperor Zhu Yuanming, and her cautious appearance really couldn't guess what the emperor meant. Now that the Queen Mother is sick, she is not good at offending the emperor at this time, so she naturally does not dare to speak rashly.

Although Zhu Yuanming was faintly unhappy with the Queen Mother because of the death of the first queen, no one could provoke his imperial majesty, not to mention, the only princess of the Queen Mother was stationed on the frontier, and some things should be done decently, "Send her to the East Palace and hand her over to the crown princess for education." The rank of the county lord has never been sealed, and the palace people are not allowed to shout. ”

Rong Guifei Xu interjected, "But, the crown princess is sick for a few days." ”

Everyone knows that the crown princess is just angry with the prince because of the sudden illegitimate daughter. And no one broke it, but Concubine Rong broke it all at once.

Zhu Yuanming made the final decision, "It's been these days, it's time to be fine!" ”

The implication is that the crown princess has been angry for too long.

The queen waved her hand, and the powerful palace people around the emperor immediately went to do it.

Concubine Rong said again: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is sick." Si Tianjian pointed out that this was because there was no happy event in the palace, which offended the Queen Mother's phoenix body. Now that the East Palace has killed the palace maid again, it is indeed unlucky. It's better to find some happy events to drive away bad luck. ”

This......

Zhu Yuanming raised his head and motioned for Concubine Rong to continue.

"If you want a concubine, it is better to let King Ning and the princess get married, and choose a closer wedding date. The Queen Mother has always loved King Ning, and if she learns that King Ning is married, she will be happy, so that the illness will heal faster. ”

Some concubines know the folk customs and speak bluntly, "Guifei Niangniang, are you talking about the folk chongxi?" ”

"Exactly."

The queen was anxious. Mo said that the Wang Mansion was not prepared for the dowry, and even if it was really prepared, it should not be married in such a situation. This folk chongxi, she also knows a few points, if the chong is good, the queen mother is naturally good, but if the chong is not good, the queen mother will die immediately, so how can Pei'er's little couple be in the palace?

She disagreed, and would never agree, "How can the methods of the people outside the palace be used in the palace?" ”

"Why not? Whatever you do, you have to try it. What's more, this is what Si Tianjian said! Now that there is no happy event, it will collide with the queen mother's phoenix body, if it collides with the national fortune in the future, what will happen? What's more, Si Tianjian's words, Niangniang can also listen to them. ”

Si Tianjian's three words touched Zhu Yuanming's tight strings of the emperor, but he was still thinking about it......

This seems to be another contest between the queen and Concubine Rong.

The queen's eyes were angry, making people shudder, "Concubine! Don't talk nonsense! Si Tianjian only said that there is no happy event in the palace, where is the way for the people to be happy? ”

Concubine Rong couldn't deny it, "But if it really collides with the national fortune, can the queen mother afford it?" "This time, she will inevitably move back to the next game.

"Naturally, I can't afford it," the queen sneered, and her words changed, "Even so, it is also a happy event in the palace for the sixth prince to marry a side concubine, I heard that the sixth prince can't wait to welcome the second girl of the Wang family as a side concubine." How could the concubine not be perfected? ”

Concubine Rong was stunned at first, this time the queen was really angry, and she didn't care about her image in front of the emperor, and then smiled again, "Since ancient times, the young and the young have been orderly, and naturally King Ning is the first." Besides, the Queen Mother gave the phoenix crown to the princess, and she must be very satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law. ”

"No ......"

Zhu Yuanming interrupted the queen's words, "Okay, it's decided." Let the Shang Palace Bureau set the wedding date as soon as possible, and everything will be simple for King Ning's wedding. ”

When it comes to the people's joy, they would rather believe that they have it than that they don't.

Originally, King Ning's wedding, the emperor said that it should be well organized. Now that this incident came out, everyone couldn't help but laugh at the queen who was embarrassed at the moment.

The queen really wants Pei'er to get married as soon as possible, but she can't get married like this, and what does it mean to keep everything simple? She was a little dissatisfied, glanced at Concubine Rong, and glared at her fiercely, "Your Majesty! Pei'er... He... Wangfu ......"

This matter came suddenly, and she couldn't find a suitable wording for a while, so she politely refused.

"This matter doesn't need to be discussed again."

Emperor Chrysostom said that no one can change it.
