Mama Yao's face was still expressionless, so much so that Concubine Huo Xian had a hard time figuring out what she meant.

Drinking tea is just a reason, and its fundamental purpose is that Concubine Huo Xian will give Mama Yao some benefits, and Mama Yao will also repay the favor with useful news of Concubine Huo Xian and other values.

This hinted that Concubine Huo Xian didn't think that the other party couldn't understand, after all, she was a palace person who had been serving by the Queen Mother's side for many years, and it was impossible not to understand these twists and turns.

Now that she understands, but she has this expressionless appearance, is she willing to accept the equivalent replacement, or is she unwilling?

For a while, Concubine Huo Xian couldn't figure it out.

However, since she is willing to stay for a while, it probably still means a little bit like that, right?

Concubine Huo Xian was eager to know who was talking in front of Empress Dowager Yao, and it would be great if Mama Yao was willing to reveal one or two.

Concubine Huo Xian glanced at the palace maid Xiuqin, and Xiuqin immediately took a pair of jasper bracelets.

"There is Mama Lao's hard work, this is a little bit of the palace's heart, I hope Mama smiles."

As she spoke, Xiuqin respectfully handed the bracelet to Mama Yao.

Mama Yao didn't take it, she glanced at the bracelet lightly, and let out a chuckle from her mouth, "Concubine Xian is really generous." ”

"Mama is the person next to the Queen Mother, no matter how good it is, it can't be overstated." Concubine Huo Xian complimented.

Concubine Huo Xian's biggest strength is that she is self-aware and good at forbearance. She is well aware of her current situation, and in this case, she does not hesitate to deliberately compliment a subordinate.

However, she didn't know that the person who ruined her good deeds was the Yao Mama in front of her

A sneer pulled out at the corner of Mama Yao's mouth, "Since Niangniang knows that the slave maid is the person next to the Queen Mother, she should also know that the slave maid is loyal to the Queen Mother, and this thing is better for Niangniang to put away." ”

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Huo Xian immediately blushed in embarrassment, and secretly scolded Mama Yao in her heart for not knowing what to do.

But no matter what I thought in my heart, I never showed it on my face. Concubine Huo Xian smiled, intending to hide her embarrassment, "The palace has no meaning, it's just that the queen mother suddenly made a graceful decree, and the palace is inevitably panicked, so it's ......."

"If Mama can mention one or two things about this palace, this palace will be grateful."

"Mention something?" Mama Yao regained her expressionless appearance and said slowly, "The slave is a subordinate, and she is not qualified to mention Niangniang, but she can give Niangniang a piece of advice." ”

"What advice?" Concubine Huo Xian hurriedly asked.

Whether it's a reminder or a piece of advice, as long as you can get a little bit of useful information.

"Don't touch people you shouldn't."

Mama Yao only said this, and then left, "The slave and maid retired, and I hope that the mother will do it herself." ”

"People who shouldn't move...... Concubine Huo Xian frowned, "Wait, who are you talking about?" ”

However, Mama Yao ignored her and walked straight out.

Concubine Huo Xian hurriedly chased out, but as soon as she walked out of the door, she was blocked by several powerful mothers-in-law, "Concubine Xian Niangniang, the Queen Mother has a decree to let you copy the scriptures quietly in the palace and not go out." ”

Concubine Huo Xian gritted her teeth, this is a grounding. But she couldn't say a word, she could only go back obediently, otherwise she would offend Empress Dowager Yao thoroughly.

When Mama Yao returned to Ci'an Palace, she told the Queen Mother in detail about Concubine Huo Xian's words and deeds, including Concubine Huo Xian's intention to bribe her, and she gave her a word of advice.

"You're doing a great job." Empress Dowager Yao nodded with satisfaction, "Even the mourning family dares to calculate, the Huo family is really bold!" ”

At that time, Empress Yao was also in Ci'an Palace, and she hurriedly took over the words, "Concubine Xian even dares to calculate the queen mother, just grounding her, isn't it too cheap for her, queen mother, such a slut should be executed." ”

If she could, she really wanted to put all the concubines in the harem to death, so that they would no longer be able to compete with her for favor!

After hearing such words that came out of her mind, Empress Dowager Yao immediately glanced at Empress Yao, "Kill, kill, kill, you know kill, kill!" Do you want to find a reason to kill all the concubines in the harem, and then you are the only one by the emperor's side. Do you think that you are the only one by the emperor's side, and you will sit back and relax and sit firmly on the throne of the queen from now on? ”

Empress Yao was choked and didn't dare to come out, hung her head slightly, and said in a low voice: "The concubine is not ......"

However, before the words of defense were finished, they were interrupted by the Empress Dowager Yao, "Don't say anything in front of the mourning family, your little thoughts, the mourning family knows it clearly." The mourning family will tell you today, the emperor is the Son of Heaven, there are three palaces and six courts, that is the rule, even if there is no Concubine Huo Xian, there are also Lin Guifei and Zhao Shufei. Rules are rules, even if you are the niece of the mourning family, at this point, the mourning family will never favor you! ”

Queen Yao's eyes were red when she said this.

"As a queen, you must have the grace to tolerate people, do you want to be a jealous woman?" Empress Dowager Yao said earnestly.

"Feng Yu doesn't dare." When Queen Yao heard the word "jealous woman", she immediately knelt down on her knees, "The queen mother, the concubines have always taken the queen mother as an example, and they will never be jealous women." ”

"The queen mother, the concubine also wants to be a good queen, but ......"

The latter words, Empress Yao did not speak. She wants to be a good queen, but she can't do it if she wants to.

A queen who is not loved by the emperor is just a resentful woman in the deep palace.

"If you don't fight yourself, who can blame you!" Empress Dowager Yao glared at her angrily.

If it weren't for Empress Yao's lack of ability to win the emperor's love, how would she be in the current situation.

Hearing this, Queen Yao suddenly burst into tears, and said in a crying voice: "It's me who is incompetent, not as beautiful as Xie Lingguan, not as gentle as Concubine Lin, and even Concubine Huo Xian is better than me." ”

Empress Yao was so sad that she even called herself "me".

This cry fell on the ears of the Empress Dowager Yao, and it was also very unpleasant.

In the end, it was her own niece, Empress Dowager Yao saw that she was crying pitifully, and suddenly felt that she had just said something serious, and hurriedly relieved: "Fengyu, don't cry, Empress Yuan has been dead for many years, and they have all turned into white bones, as for Lin Guifei and Huo, they are just concubines, and they can't compare to you as the queen of the main palace." You are the master of the middle palace who has passed the grand ceremony of sealing the queen and has been personally taught the phoenix seal by the emperor, and with this alone, you are enough to defeat all the concubines in the harem. ”

Even if she is not favored, the queen is still the queen.

"As long as the mourning family is still there, no one can shake your position as queen."

Empress Dowager Yao's relief made Empress Yao feel a lot more comfortable, yes, at least she is still a queen, and she still has the title of queen.

As long as Empress Dowager Yao is still alive, she will always be the queen of the main palace. But...... What if Empress Dowager Yao is gone?

Empress Yao pursed her lips, "But this is not a long-term solution, aunt ......"

If you want the daughter of the Yao family to sit firmly on the throne of the queen, the glory of the Yao family will last forever, unless the next emperor is her son Chu Heng.

What did Empress Yao mean in and out of her words, Empress Dowager Yao instantly understood, and her face suddenly sank, "Don't come nonsense!" ”

It is true that out of selfishness, she naturally hopes that the future emperor can be her dearest grandson, but Chu Zheng is a legitimate prince, and he has great military achievements, and he is also comfortable in handling court politics, although he is indifferent and ruthless, but his ability is obvious to all.

"The prince has made outstanding achievements, and there is nothing wrong with him, his position is not something that anyone can shake, if you come nonsense, you will harm Heng'er and yourself."

Empress Dowager Yao was afraid that Empress Yao would mess around, so she said with a straight face: "Did you hear it!" ”

A loud roar startled Queen Yao, and she hurriedly responded with a stiff face: "Yes, yes, the concubine doesn't dare." ”

Empress Dowager Yao took a deep breath, she was not an old fool, how could she not know what Empress Yao was thinking in her heart. On the surface, I don't dare, but in private it's another matter. Since Chu Zheng returned to Beijing, Empress Yao has gone to Ci'an Palace to speak ill of Chu Zheng openly and secretly.

"Fengyu, if you are really for Heng'er and for the good of the Yao family, you will do what the queen should do in peace, take care of the harem wholeheartedly, and let the emperor see your virtue. Don't use your crooked thoughts, and you will naturally have good fortune in the future. ”

Empress Dowager Yao spoke bitterly, as for how much Empress Yao listened to it, this is unknown, only Empress Yao herself knows.

Yao Yuruo happily waited for Empress Dowager Yao to make the decision for her, but after waiting for three days, there was no news coming, but on the fourth day, a news suddenly came - the eldest princess of Yi'an had returned to Beijing.
