Jingchen's voice fell, and the room was quiet for a moment.

Not only did Ruyi look at Jingchen in shock, but even the queen and Concubine Hui didn't expect things to turn out like this.

Being stared at by Ruyi, Jingchen suddenly felt a little happy, she was always cautious, she dared to look him in the eyes like this when she was scared.

Concubine Hui stood up in a panic, didn't think about it so much, only said, "No!" ”

Jing Chen glanced at her lightly, and didn't even ask her why she couldn't do it, Hui Guifei was looked at by Jing Chen like this, and her heart was too uncomfortable, knowing that her continued talk would only make Jing Chen more determined in her thoughts, so she finally sat back and slowed down her voice as much as possible: "Li promised to serve the emperor not long ago, and he had no merit or virtue, so he was promoted to the title, and there was nothing to say, not to mention. ”

Jingchen interrupted Concubine Hui's words: "Ruyi repaired the Qingyao embroidery for the Queen Mother, it can't be said to be futile, and it coincides with the New Year's Festival. I think she's happy, is that a good idea? ”

Concubine Hui didn't expect Jingchen to say such a thing, she glanced at Ruyi who was kneeling on the ground, and then pulled out a bitter smile, and stiffened her back: "The emperor's favor is naturally the most important, Li promised good fortune, and he can still get this grace at such a time, why don't you thank the emperor for his grace?" ”

Ruyi was shouted by Concubine Hui and came back to her senses.

She glanced at the queen, then looked at Jingchen again, and only after a while, she kowtowed: "Concubine Xie Emperor Longen." ”

Jingchen felt comfortable, and after achieving his goal, he stopped making a sound, and took the tea at hand to drink, hiding the smile on the corner of his mouth.

The queen also lowered her eyes with a flickering eye, and was interrupted like this, almost didn't know how to pick it up, and in the end, she just asked Su Jingyi to apologize to Ruyi, and after some advice, she let it go.

Ruyi's Jin Feng is the most important thing for Jing Chen, beating Su Jingyi will cause a headache again, the New Year's Festival, there is no need, Jing Chen is not keen on demonstrating anything by beating him, he thinks that Jin Feng is cost-effective, roughly better than beating Su Jingyi, it can also teach the Su family a lesson, and can make them all poke their hearts and hurt, not to mention that she herself did not get a bargain from Ruyi, his little rabbit has fangs and knows how to fight back, Jingchen feels very relieved.

Concubine Hui led Su Jingyi to walk very fast, almost unwilling to stay, feeling that she had lost her face too much today.

The queen also asked Ruyi to go back and rest, leaving Jingchen to sit here for a while, thinking about how to open her mouth without annoying Jingchen.

Jingchen didn't know the queen's thoughts, and he didn't really want to guess, but the queen did a good job today, Jingchen was in a good mood, and was willing to stay here a little longer, to give the queen this dignity, since she was sitting and thinking about things and didn't open her mouth, Jingchen also closed her eyes and recuperated, without urging.

After half a ring, the queen laughed, blamed herself a little, and said with some coquettishness: "The concubine thinks about things, why doesn't the emperor call the concubine, waiting like this in vain, but the concubine is not good." ”

Jingchen still closed his eyes: "There is nothing to do left and right, you slowly think about it, and naturally speak." ”

The queen stared at Jingchen's side face, took a deep breath, and then slowly spoke: "Ke Chang is in Jinfeng, it is enough to have the emperor's message, but the concubine thinks that Ke Chang has suffered a lot of grievances in the end these days, but at the juncture of the New Year, there are so many people in the Su family in this palace, the reward is not too rich, and it is not too ostentatious, in the end, it is still necessary to take into account a little Hui Guifei's face, the concubine thought, there are too many people on the Queen Mother's side to ask An to accompany her, and the concubines have their own entertainment, and no one can take care of Ke Chang, so it is inevitable that yesterday's incident will happen again." , During this time, let Ke Chang follow the concubines from time to time, and also help a little favor, okay? The concubine sees that she is a good child, and she is also smart, but she likes her temperament very much, and she helps some of the concubines here, and then the concubines reward her with things, which seems reasonable, what does the emperor think? ”

said that she would reward her, but in fact, she told Jingchen that when he wanted to give Ruyi anything, he could borrow the reason of Fengyang Palace, so as not to preach the Queen Mother again.

Jingchen opened his eyes and looked at the queen, and sighed in his heart, the Su family had made so many bad things, but fortunately, the queen was willing to be generous and considerate, and it didn't make it worse for him to be more worried.

He still has a lot of gratitude to the queen, after so many years of companionship, of course, it is impossible that he has not touched the softness of his heart at all, even if he knows that the queen is somewhat flattering and flattering at this moment, Jingchen does not feel disgusted.

Everyone has selfishness, but after all, they have to plan for themselves, as long as they are not dirty intentions that harm others.

Jingchen took the queen's hand and shook it tightly for a while: "You can always understand me." ”

The queen lowered her eyes, blinked quickly, and when she raised it again, there seemed to be a flickering light in her eyes, and she shook Jingchen's hand back, as if she wanted to hold her all tightly: "The concubine is willing to be considerate of the emperor forever." ”

It's like some kind of promise, evoking Jingchen's deep memories.

On the wedding night of the palace back then, he seemed to have heard such words, the mandarin duck was so red to the candle all night, and he still didn't understand what kind of strong affection the queen under the red light looked at him, but what Jingchen could promise was just the position of the wife.

"You teach her well." Jingchen admonished, and what he carried in his words was still wishful in the end.

The queen smiled and said okay, let Chunmei go and bring breakfast.

The meaning of retention was already very obvious, but Jingchen still got up and said that he wanted to go to the Queen Mother to talk about it, accompany the Queen Mother, and let her not wait, and come to dine with her in two days.

The queen opened her mouth and wanted to stay, but in the end, she still put on a gentle smile, for Jingchen's generosity and tolerance, and for the sake of her wife's decent status, she wanted to personally see his back go away.

She stood by the door, saw that the sight was barren, no one turned back and was reluctant to look away, the warmth of the back of her hand was blown by the wind outside the door, it was completely cold, Chunmei stepped forward to support the queen, seeing that she looked lonely, she couldn't bear to say: "Niangniang, the emperor has gone away, let's go back and sit, the wind is too strong outside." ”

The queen didn't move, and after half a ring, she murmured: "In two days, will the emperor come?" ”

Chunmei choked, and then said firmly: "I will definitely come." ”

The queen raised her eyes, looked at the red ribbon hanging on the wall, and took a deep breath: "Whether you come or not, you have to be willing to do it, if you don't stay here, what's the point of coming?" ”

But this is just a vinegar word of self-pity after all, the days in this harem are as long as winter nights, Jingchen can come once, even if he sits for a while, it can warm people, who cares where his heart is.

Where can the emperor's heart really be?

In the end, what can be completely defended is not only status?

·

Coming out of Fengyang Palace, Jingchen walked towards Yongshou Palace.

The Queen Mother got up early this morning, listened to several reports in the palace, and was gambling with Mo Yan at this time.

Mo Yan stood by the door for a while, and when he heard that the emperor's sedan chair was coming, he hurriedly entered the house and told the queen mother with a smile.

The Queen Mother snorted: "I still remember the mourning family." That being said, his expression was still happy.

"The slave maid said, our emperor is the most filial, and today's matter must be rushed to talk to the queen mother first, and the queen mother wants to say something. The emperor's heart has already flown to the West Courtyard, isn't it clear whether that person is a fox and bewitches the Lord, isn't the Queen Mother also clear? Mo Yan joked about the Queen Mother, although she said so, she knew that the Queen Mother was happy to hear it.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother glanced at her, and there was already a smile on her face: "You know him, the mourning family is old, and now he doesn't have enough brains." ”

Mo Yan smiled: "The queen mother is playing like this again, and the slave won't gamble with you next time." ”

The Queen Mother pointed at her, shook her head with a smile, and while the two were talking, Jingchen had already come in from outside the door, looking angry and sharp, and gave a big gift when they met: "My son asks the queen mother to say goodbye." ”

The Queen Mother asked Mo Yan to help him up, knowing why Jingchen was like this, but she still asked him stiffly: "Early in the morning, what did the emperor do with such a big ceremony." ”

Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief after sitting down: "My son, thank you to the queen mother." ”

The Queen Mother fiddled with the Buddha beads in her hand: "The mourning family has not fulfilled you anything, you thank your queen, she has some methods." ”

Jingchen smiled and flattered: "The queen has a way, and she has to be instructed by the queen mother first, and the son understands it in his heart." ”

The Queen Mother raised her eyes: "The Su family's good fruit has been eaten for a long time, and the emperor is not good to use too much weight at once, but if it dares to show its teeth, the emperor does not have to be too timid. ”

Jingchen was taught and told the Queen Mother everything in Fengyang Palace.

The Queen Mother listened, was silent for a while, and then bowed her head: "You are the emperor, since you said that you want to be promoted, that is a word, Jin will be promoted, Zuo is just a constant presence, anyway, no one has hit, since the queen has the heart to ask her to help, it is good to have something to do, and save yourself from these inexplicable things." ”

In fact, as long as you pay attention to what happened last night, you can guess the cause and effect.

Who among the ladies who entered the palace didn't know that Concubine Hui wanted to match Su Jingyi and Prince Xun? Su Jingyi chased Prince Xun for half a night, and almost got into trouble with others during the banquet, but she bumped into Prince Xun and stepped forward to talk to Ruyi, didn't she want to be angry?

The Su family didn't take care of this matter in the first place, but now they are just apologizing, and they have been promoted to the position of Ruyi, which is already very face-saving.

If they dare to make trouble, all the ladies in Beijing will have to laugh at this Su family's style, and Su Jingyi, a person who wants to save face, will not be willing to speak out.

The Queen Mother expressed her attitude, Jingchen was also relieved, and told the queen about the reward, the queen mother rarely saw him happy, and she didn't want to make the mother and son unhappy during the New Year, these are all trivial things, so they should go with Jingchen, and the queen mother also restrained herself and didn't say anything big to him, so when she came out of the Yongshou Palace with the queen mother for dinner, Jingchen was a little happier than when she came.

As soon as he entered the sedan chair, Li Shuanglin commanded very eye-catching this time: "Get up the sedan chair, Yucui Palace!" ”

The emperor's guard of honor went to the Yucui Palace, and the lotus leaf trotted into the house, stopped the third colored glazed vase that Rong Concubine was about to smash, and said loudly: "Master, the emperor is coming this way." ”

Concubine Rong's hand moved, and the little eunuch next to her took it and swung back into the distance tremblingly.

Concubine Rong snorted with a gloomy face: "Jin Feng is always here so soon, she is really a fox, hanging the emperor's appetite, looking docile and pitiful, look at how capable she was yesterday, dragging Su Jingyi to roll the stairs together, who can know who pushed and who couldn't, she can really pretend." ”

Lianye quickly stepped forward to support Concubine Rong, and asked people to quickly clean up the debris on the ground: "The little master is angry, the emperor is coming, and we can bear with it some." ”

Concubine Rong scolded: "What do I have to bear! When the emperor comes, he must see if she can't do it?! ”

After saying that, Concubine Rong became even more irritable, obviously Jingchen came to see Ruyi, even if she was hard-mouthed, she had to admit that Jingchen hadn't been here specifically for her for a long, long time.

Concubine Rong is unwilling, before her, she was obviously very sacred, the emperor said that although she has a noisy temperament, she is also lively and cute, very interesting.

Since the emperor also liked her, why couldn't she compete with the useless, wood-like Li Ruyi in the West Courtyard? !

Rong Concubine thought so, gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, didn't take the shawl, and ran out in such a hurry.

Her mind was a little unclear now, and she didn't run too fast, but Lianye followed closely and grabbed Concubine Rong, so that she couldn't run out of the small courtyard.

"Little master, think about Concubine Hui!" Lianye spoke loudly and called out to Concubine Rong, "Concubine Hui has lost her sacred heart now, why?" Isn't it just for the three words of unwillingness? We can't figure out the emperor's heart, let alone grasp it, she is favored today, not necessarily tomorrow, the first newcomer in the palace must have it, the little master can't bear it in this outlet, what else can I do? ”

Do you want to be like Concubine Hui, who completely provoked Jingchen to be unhappy, and then gave the emperor in the West Courtyard can't bear to go?

Concubine Rong stood still, opened her eyes and looked ahead, her eyes were sour, tears fell, and she didn't have the courage to take another step forward.

She still cares, cares about the little memories and beauty before Jingchen, even if she knows in her heart that the emperor's praise and exclamation are only limited to the moment at that time, but Concubine Rong still can't control herself to put those things in her heart.

The pain is also given by himself, how many people in this palace can really be as free and easy as Concubine Yi?

Lianye hugged Concubine Rong and wiped her tears distressedly, but fortunately she didn't go out, which was a sigh of relief.

Before Jingchen stepped into the Jade Cui Palace, he was still worried about whether Concubine Rong would suddenly jump out and twist herself crying and making trouble, but fortunately, it was not Qiuzhu next to Concubine Ming who came to tell Jingchen about the location of Ruyi's injury, and was afraid that Ruyi would endure it and not tell Jingchen.

Concubine Ming has always been the most measured in her work, she always appears when she should appear, disappears when she should disappear, and does not do superfluous things, but she can always bring some timely news to Jingchen.

Jingchen said yes, and after standing and asking a few words about Concubine Ming's recent situation, he asked Qiu Zhu to go back and reply.

Just a few words of care, but it is also valuable that Jingchen himself is willing to ask more.

There is no need to sneak around to the west courtyard, Jingchen is in a good mood, and he walked very fast with him, almost two or three steps at the same time, and entered the inner room.

Ruyi is taking medicine, and the fragrant shoulder is half exposed, which should be a good delicacy, but the wound is hideous, and it looks dazzling for no reason.

Jingchen suddenly lifted the curtain and came in, so frightened that Ruyi hurriedly pulled up his clothes, rubbed the wound, and squinted in pain.

Mama Zhao put away the medicine bottle, stood up and saluted, but Jingchen took the medicine bottle, and then drove everyone away.

There was no one in the room, and Jingchen dragged her to ask where she was hurt.

Ruyi smiled and said that he rubbed his shoulder, and there was grass next to him, and he padded it, but it was not seriously injured.

Jingchen snorted, ignored her, and was about to pull his clothes according to the position that Concubine Ming told him, so that Ruyi's face turned red, and he admitted his mistake in anger, and seriously told him how every place was hurt before Jingchen was willing to stop.

Before her shoulder was finished, Jingchen rubbed the medicine for her, and said softly: "It's right for you to drag her to fall together, it doesn't hurt on your body, and you don't have a long memory." ”

Ruyi didn't expect Jingchen to praise her for this matter, and felt a little stunned: "The concubine still thinks about whether the emperor will dislike the concubine for being vulgar and bad." ”

Jingchen frowned: "She wants to beat you, you naturally want to fight back, where is the reason in this world to stand and be beaten?" ”

The smile on Ruyi's face was faint: "The concubine's status is low, and there are many things. . . After forbearance, the concubines were unwilling to cause trouble to the emperor. ”

Jingchen was amused by her: "It's not enough for me to be your backer?" ”

Ruyi raised his eyes and glanced at Jingchen quickly: "The emperor wants to be the backer of the world." ”

This was said properly, and as soon as the smile on Jingchen's face was closed, he pinched her chin and pulled her over and bit her lip hard.

Ruyi ate pain, but couldn't hide it, and suddenly his eyes were covered with tears.

Jingchen stared at her and said indignantly, "Will you still talk nonsense in the future?" ”

Ruyi shook his head, although he didn't know what he was wrong with his words, he still felt that it would be better to be well-behaved at this time.

Sure enough, Jingchen's eyes softened, it was not enough to wipe her shoulders, and his hands were not honest enough to untie her clothes: "Show me other wounds, I have seen them with my own eyes, otherwise I will not feel at ease." ”

Ruyi was so ashamed that he couldn't do it, and he grabbed Jingchen's hand and didn't let go: "Your Majesty, it's not noon yet." ”

In the morning, how can you untie your clothes?

Jingchen saw that the roots of her ears were red, and she smiled in a good mood: "What are you afraid of, in the house, you are my concubine, when do I want to see if you have to go through permission?" There is no such truth in the world. ”

Ruyi can't say Jingchen, it's not the first time he's unreasonable and unruly here, Ruyi vaguely thinks that Jingchen probably likes to tease himself, and thinks it's interesting, but it doesn't seem to be all of these, he can't tell the truth, and his heart is always itchy like being swept by a feather, and he doesn't know how to ask.

Jingchen pulled the belt of his clothes to see, but he still took care of Ruyi's face, put down all the curtains, and covered them tightly, Concubine Ming said that there was a big bruise on her waist, and when she saw it with her own eyes, Jingchen knew that the fall was serious, and her face was cold all of a sudden.
