Then he waved his hand and motioned Zhao Quan to do so.

Zhao Quan withdrew from the hall with a smile, and then ordered an internal official to go to Jinhua Palace to report.

"Concubine Niangniang, after all, Your Majesty has not seen Concubine Xian Niangniang for a long time, so I ······ tonight" After the internal officials who came to report finished reporting, they saw Ling Chan looking aggrieved, so they opened their mouths to convince her.

Ling Chan smiled, "What my father-in-law meant, Bengong understands." ”

Seeing that the master who was now favored in front of His Majesty did not lose his temper, the internal official couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly retreated.

"Since the emperor is going to accompany Concubine Xian, we don't have to go today," Ling Yu said suddenly.

Ling Chan nodded.

The emperor's love for her is true or false, and there is a bit of sincerity, although she can't be completely sure, she also knows that in this harem and around the emperor, the most unbelievable thing is the so-called affection.

Now that Concubine Xian has returned to the palace, the emperor seems to be visiting, but in fact, it is not just to appease the biological mother of the second prince.

If you want to say affection, I'm afraid you have to treat her more than Concubine Xian.

As soon as Concubine Xian returned to Zhuhua Palace, she heard a report from the internal officials that the emperor was coming tonight.

In the past, when she heard the news that the emperor was coming, she could still be calm and indifferent for the time being, although people could not see the joy and anger, but it was not like now, so that people could see the displeasure on her face at a glance.

At this time, an old woman with gray hair walked out of the inner hall, leaned over, and saluted to the virtuous concubine: "The inner hall has been taken care of, the mother is tired of the boat, and she got up early today, if you are tired, you can go to take a nap." ”

Concubine Xian nodded, and suddenly said, "Mama Jiang, let the small kitchen prepare more meals later, Your Majesty will come at night." ”

Mama Jiang bowed, "The slave will go down and order." ”

After lunch, Cheng Mo came to Zhuhua Palace to say goodbye.

As soon as I stepped into the palace gate, I saw a gray-haired old woman standing in the courtyard, holding silver scissors in her hand, and pruning the flowers in several vases that the concubine had always loved.

At this time, a palace maid happened to come from the palace, and when she saw Cheng Mo, she immediately saluted and said, "Second Highness!" ”

The old woman slowly turned her head and looked at herself.

Cheng Mo was stunned for a moment, looking at the old woman's eyes very indifferent, as if she didn't put herself in her eyes.

At this time, I heard the palace maid say to the old woman: "Oh, Mama Jiang, this is the Second Highness!" ”

Only then did Mama Jiang stop the movements in her hand, still turned around slowly, and bowed slightly at Cheng Mo, "Slave, I've seen Your Second Highness." ”

Cheng Mo didn't speak, just waved his hand, and went straight into the hall.

Concubine Xian was lying on the soft couch and resting with her eyes closed, and she didn't notice that someone was coming in the hall.

Cheng Mo didn't want to disturb, but suddenly heard an old voice outside: "Niangniang! The Second Highness is down! ”

It was the voice of Mama Jiang just now.

Cheng Mo frowned, and saw that his mother was woken up by this shout, and slowly opened her eyes.

Seeing that he was coming, there was no change in his expression, but he said softly: "Can you say goodbye to your imperial grandmother and queen mother?" ”

Cheng Mo nodded, "When the son entered the palace, he went to greet the imperial grandmother, but he didn't greet the queen mother yet." ”

Concubine Xian raised her eyebrows when she heard this, "Why?" ”

Cheng Mo naturally didn't dare to say that when he entered the palace today, he actually asked his mother for the sake of other things, so he hurriedly asked the queen mother to ask for peace and rushed over.

So he had to say: "The queen mother has often been worshipping Buddha in the palace recently, this hour, I'm afraid it's not easy to disturb, it's better to go to the queen mother early tomorrow morning to say goodbye." ”

Concubine Xian was silent when she heard this.

Cheng Mo saw that the concubine didn't speak, so he continued: "The concubine has seen the concubine of Jinhua Palace?" ”

Concubine Xian's brows frowned slightly, "Why are you asking this today?" ”

Cheng Mo said: "What is the origin of this concubine, does the mother concubine know?" ”

Concubine Xian was silent.

"Erchen wants to ask his mother for help," Cheng Mo said, and took out a letter from his arms.

Concubine Xian took it and saw that it was Lu Guanlan's letter.

What Lu Guanlan said in the letter was that he wanted to ask Cheng Mo to help find out the details of the concubine, but the content of the credible did not explain the reason.

Concubine Xian couldn't help but be a little strange, "Why did she ask for you?" ”

Cheng Mo smiled, "Erchen has also thought about this problem, speaking of which, the mother concubine may not understand, I have been in private contact with the eldest lady of the Lu family earlier. The mother concubine didn't want her to get involved in this palace, but in fact, she had already sided with her sons. ”

Concubine Xian was stunned.

"But she's not ······ with Li Duan"

Before Concubine Xian finished speaking, she heard Cheng Mo interrupt: "That's just a rumor in the market, how can the mother concubine be gullible, if she wasn't close to her son, how could she talk about this with her son." ”

Concubine Xian looked at her son at the moment, as if all this was just something she could agree with a nod.

But this Lu Guanlan is really on the same side as his son?

In this way, the so-called involvement with Li Duan before was just wishful thinking on the part of Li Duan and the queen?

Could it be that she was wrong? Lu Guanlan and Mo'er are in love?

If this is the case, then wouldn't she have beaten the mandarin ducks for a long time? But why did she always feel that this was not the case?

If Lu Guanlan really cares about Mo'er, why did Mo'er not hesitate to gamble on Lu Guanlan's innocence on the hunting ground that day.

Thinking of this, Concubine Xian put the letter aside and said, "The matter of the concubine, this palace can be checked, and you have had fewer troubles recently, so you won't stay in this palace for a long time." ”

Cheng Mo didn't understand what Concubine Xian meant, and said with some doubts: "What does the concubine mean by not staying for long?" ”

Concubine Xian didn't say anything, just looked at Cheng Mo with a gentle face.

Only her Mo'er will not become the prince, and when the time comes, she will ask for a decree early, so that Mo'er can go to her own fiefdom, and she does not have to stay in this capital for a long time.

As for her, if she can, it's good to go with Mo'er, but if she can't, then she will go back to the Imperial Temple and spend the rest of her life in the Buddha Hall.

Seeing that Concubine Xian was reluctant to answer, Cheng Mo had to change his words, "Speaking of which, Erchen has never seen that Jiang Mama outside, and it looks very strange." ”

Concubine Xian retracted her thoughts when she heard this, and said: "Mama Jiang is a fire-burning grandmother who took care of the palace in the imperial temple, and the palace remembered her kindness, so she followed her back to the palace." Chu Yue is not here now, and it is good to have more people around this palace. ”

Cheng Mo nodded, and then said: "I just saw that the concubine was tired, and the son's visit this time disturbed the concubine's rest, so I retired." ”

Concubine Xian didn't stop him, just nodded and turned her head sideways.

Seeing that Concubine Xian closed her eyes again, Cheng Mo retreated softly.

When I walked into the courtyard, I saw that Mama Jiang was still there, the silver scissors in her hand had been put down, and she was carefully fiddling with the bouquet in the bottle.

For no reason, he suddenly stepped forward, "How long has Mama Jiang been in the Imperial Temple?" ”

Mama Jiang didn't turn her head to look at him, but just smiled and said, "It's been twenty or thirty years, what's the matter?" Your Highness also wants to go to the Imperial Temple to stay? ”

Mama Jiang said this offended, but Cheng Mo was not annoyed, but continued to ask: "Look at Mama this age is not young, isn't it too tired to serve the mother concubine in this palace all day long?" ”

"Second Highness," Mama Jiang suddenly turned her head, her eyes looking directly at Cheng Mo, "I'm already very tired when I'm alive, so why bother thinking about it." ”

After that, I no longer paid attention to Chengmo, but turned back and continued to take care of the flower arrangement in my hand.

Cheng Mo was stunned when he heard this.

Tired of being alive? Indeed, being alive is tiring.

The words are true, but the second half of this Mama Jiang is telling and warning herself, don't think too much.

This made him have to think about it more.

It can be seen that this Mama Jiang ignores herself, and the mother seems to be hiding something, and no matter how much she asks, she can't ask anything, so she simply turns around and leaves.

At this time, Mama Jiang, who was still taking care of the flowers and plants seriously, suddenly turned around, looked outside the palace gate, and then returned to the palace with brisk steps.

Until nightfall, black clouds filled the sky over Miyagi.

Inside the palace, the lights are gradually turning on.

"Your Majesty, it's time to rest," Zhao Quan raised his eyes and looked at Tian'er, then turned his head to look at Ke Leak, "I think I have already prepared dinner for Concubine Xian." ”

The emperor put down the fold in his hand, closed his eyes, and then opened his eyes and took a sip of the teacup, "What time is it?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, when you just arrived," Zhao Quan said.

The emperor nodded, put down the teacup, got up and sighed, and said, "Let's drive." ”

When Zhao Quan heard this, he immediately retreated to the palace gate to order the driver, but as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Yun Concubine coming this way.

Yun Concubine saw Zhao Quan, waved her hand and smiled, "What is the chief manager busy with?" ”

Zhao Quanxin was difficult, and immediately bowed and saluted, "The slave has seen Concubine Yun's mother." ”

Concubine Yun glanced at Zhao Quan's face and said, "What's the matter, the emperor is still going to Jinhua Palace today?" ”

Zhao Quan didn't dare to raise his head, but just laughed and said, "Didn't Concubine Xian Niangniang return to the palace today, Your Majesty naturally wants to go to see Concubine Xian." ”

Concubine Yun frowned, and then said in a loud voice: "Since this is the case, then bother Gonggong Zhao to send in the ginseng soup that the palace personally boiled for the emperor, and the palace will not bother." ”

After that, he gestured to Yun Li, who was following behind him.

Yun Li hurriedly presented the tray to Zhao Quan, "I'm tired of my father-in-law." ”

Zhao Quan smiled on his face and carefully took the tray.

I heard Concubine Yun say: "This is a whole day in this palace, and my father-in-law has to be good and careful." ”

Zhao Quan hurriedly smiled: "That's natural, don't worry." ”

Seeing this, Concubine Yun glanced at the gate of the Qinzheng Hall again, and saw that there was still no movement inside, let alone asking her to go in, so she had to cough lightly and leave with Yun Li again.

Zhao Quan didn't have time to order someone to drive, so he hurriedly brought the ginseng soup sent by Yun Concubine to the emperor.

Concubine Yun said loudly outside the palace gate just now, and the emperor naturally heard it.

At this time, he saw Zhao Quan bring the ginseng soup in, so he said, "Put it down." ”

Zhao Quan immediately put down the ginseng soup on the coffee table on the side, and said, "Concubine Yun Niangniang said that she personally boiled it for Your Majesty." ”

The emperor was silent, but suddenly glanced at a piece of paper on the imperial case.

"She's my beloved, after all."

For no reason, the emperor said such a sentence.
