Chapter 61: Expedition to the North Pavilion
Leng Yi Yanyan waved her hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, I won't say it, you go on!" ”
"Huh!" Aunt Tan let go of her hand, straightened her sleeves and said: "When the first emperor was still alive, he favored Concubine Yi, which caused the dissatisfaction of the queen mother.
Originally, Concubine Yi was pregnant, but she was stillborn when she gave birth. Although Concubine Yi and several concubines thought that the Queen Mother had done something, but because there was no evidence, they had no choice but to do it in the end.
From then on, Concubine Yi ignored the love of the first emperor and soon lost her favor. The queen mother is also a merciful subordinate, after the death of the first emperor, because Concubine Yi has fallen out of favor, she was not allowed to be buried, but just thrown into this cold palace.
At that time, Concubine Yi's body was already extremely weak, and within two days of entering the cold palace, she was gone.
I also wanted to go with Concubine Yi, but when I thought of my hometown and my two brothers and sisters, I couldn't give up, and I wanted to stay up until the time when the saint was established, and the world would be amnesty, so that I could leave the palace and go back to see my father. ”
Speaking of this, Aunt Tan's eyes were filled with tears, and she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her worn sleeves.
Leng Yi Yanyan pursed her lips, tilted her head and thought hard for a long time, and suddenly said, "Oh! You're in this mood, probably like I want to go back to Xiyuan Mountain, right!? ”
Aunt Tan didn't know how to answer when she heard this, so she had to smile and nodded.

After Prince Chun left the cold palace, he went to bid farewell to the emperor. This time, no matter what Yongsheng said, he insisted on returning to his house.
Back in the mansion, Prince Chun did not rest at all, and immediately ordered someone to investigate the matter of the cold palace, and even the situation of Imperial Doctor Wu and Hu Guards was not spared.
After learning that the eunuch in charge of the cold palace was Gonggong Qi, he ordered his subordinates to take his post and pass it on to Gonggong Qi to his mansion.
Gonggong Qi couldn't figure out how Prince Chun, who had nothing to do with him, invited him to the mansion for a banquet?
No matter how you think about it, this so-called banquet is like a Hongmen banquet.
The back garden of Prince Chun's Mansion is brightly lit in the Octagonal Zhengbei Pavilion standing in the middle of the lake.
On the lake, two small boats carried musicians, and the orchestra was endless, but there was no singing and dancing.
Gonggong Qi sat nervously opposite Prince Chun, toasting Prince Chun with trepidation, just waiting to play a game of "question and answer" with Prince Chun.
After three rounds of drinking, Father-in-law Qi's face was already red. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, his demeanor was already a little lightly provoked, and he kept throwing flattering eyes at Prince Chun.
Prince Chun didn't see it, and asked with a smile: "I heard that Gonggong Qi is in charge of the cold palace, do you know if the concubine Yi in the cold palace has a palace daughter surnamed Leng?" ”
"Concubine Yi? The slave remembered that there was a big palace daughter surnamed Tan next to Concubine Yi, who should have been released when she was old, but because the family was poor, she said that she had nowhere to live when she went back, and she had a deep relationship with Concubine Yi's master and servant, so she stayed.
Later, Concubine Yi had no children, and her spirit was not as good as day by day, and then she entered the cold palace. Later, Mrs. Yi became a concubine, and we wondered if she would go with her, but as a result, this person was a life-sparing person after all. ”
Father-in-law Qi said, hehe laughed, then stopped again, and then said: "But let's talk about the palace maid surnamed Leng...... I haven't heard of that. Maybe it's some inconspicuous little palace maid, but it's not necessarily. If Prince Chun wants to know, the servant will inquire about you when he returns. ”
"Okay, then there's Father-in-law Lautzi. In addition, I find that this cold palace seems to be lively lately......"
"Ouch, slaves are guilty!"
When Gonggong Qi heard this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly got up, knelt on the ground, and his movements were smooth and quite skillful.
