Zhou knelt in front of the Buddha statue and prayed all night, and the gods and Buddhas did not hear her prayers, and the holy decree still came to Tongfu on the third day.

The small mansion of the Tongfu was eye-catching for a while, and today it was Li Zhong, the chief eunuch of the emperor's side, who came to pass the decree, and even if the content remained unchanged, the real high-ranking officials of the big clan might not be too shocked, and now Li Zhong's appearance was blessed, so that the mansions sent people to the gate of the Tongfu to wander around.

After Li Zhong finished reading the two holy decrees, he watched Tong Huaiyuan and Tong Qingyan's father and daughter stand up with their holy decrees in their hands, and happily stepped forward to congratulate them.

"Congratulations to Lord Tong, the old slave is also here to congratulate the county lord of Yanyang, the concubine Niangniang said, I miss the county lord of Yanyang very much for a few days, and the county lord has time to go into the palace to see her."

"Thank you Gonggong Li, the county lord will be free tomorrow, and the lower official will personally send the county lord into the palace to see the concubine."

Tong Huaiyuan looked at Li Zhong's smiling face like a chrysanthemum in the wind, blocked Tong Qingyan without a trace, and responded enthusiastically.

Li Zhong just wanted to curry favor in front of the new county lord, and after getting Tong Huaiyuan's permission, he could go home.

Before getting into the car, a purse was stuffed, the purse was embroidered with five delicate bamboo leaves, the purse does not look like a drum, and those who know know that the denomination of the silver ticket is definitely not small.

Tong Qingyan looked at the bright and swaying holy decree, the dragon pattern embroidered on the holy decree is really good, lifelike, it is embroidered with pure gold thread, and two pearls the size of rice grains are sewn on the dragon's eye, this holy decree is much more valuable than he imagined, but unfortunately it can't be sold.

Zhou returned to Tong Manjiao's courtyard with a stiff face, looked at the subordinates with uneasy eyes, and Zhou gritted his teeth and whispered.

"Who dares to chew the root of the tongue in front of the eldest lady, don't blame me for not thinking about the friendship between master and servant for many years."

Everyone in the courtyard looked at Zhou's fierce eyes, and they all shrank and nodded and swore a curse, Zhou's face improved slightly, opened the door and lifted the cotton curtain into the house.

In the Hanlian Garden, Tong Qingyan looked at the four people standing in a row in front of her, looked at the four pairs of expectant eyes, and touched her forehead.

"The last time I entered the palace, Pearl accompanied me, this time I ......" Tong Qingyan looked at the four maids, this feeling like announcing the winner of the five million grand prize was very wonderful, "Feiyan, you go with me." ”

Compared to the obvious loss of the other three, Feiyan didn't say anything, but her eyes lit up and she nodded heavily.

Early in the morning of the second day, Tong Qingyan looked at the clothes in front of her and was entangled, it stands to reason that she should not wear too plain when entering the palace, but it is not suitable to be too showy.

"Is the county lord struggling with something?"

"Huh?"

To be honest, Tong Qingyan still accepts the title of county lord, but Shuangxi's words reminded her that since she is already the county lord, it doesn't hurt to dress brightly, and the woman who wants to come to the concubine will like to wear gorgeous clothes.

"Just this cloisonné peony silver thread butterfly embroidered dress, with the pearl hairpin that my mother went to Tianxiu Pavilion to customize a while ago."

"Yes, County Lord."

Going out to sit in the carriage of the county lord, Tong Qingyan secretly sighed that the upper class would really enjoy it, and originally felt that her exclusive carriage was already comfortable, but now after such a comparison, she knows what the difference is.

The number of small drawers at hand is doubled, and each drawer is opened to the top products of the largest pickle shop in Beijing, the roasted goods shop, and the pastry shop, which is full of more than 20 drawers.

"The county lord's treatment is so good, wouldn't the princess be even more ......?"

Before he finished speaking, Feiyan stuffed a piece of preserved almonds in his mouth, Feiyan pointed out the car, Tong Qingyan nodded clearly, if Dad heard that he was so open-mouthed, he would definitely have to take an ideological education class again.

The carriage passed all the way to the imperial city, and Tong Huaiyuan naturally couldn't follow in, I don't know?? After a long time on the road, the carriage stopped, and then a calm female voice sounded outside the carriage.

"Slave Qiuxin, on the orders of Niangniang, is here to wait for the county lord."

Tong Qingyan lifted the carriage curtain, glanced at Qiu Xin, and crossed Qiu Xin's shoulder to see the palace and the soft sedan chair behind her, Tong Qingyan and Feiyan glanced at each other, and saw the words flattered from each other's eyes.

Mom, it's too strange that this concubine spoils herself so much, isn't it? Even if there is a lost eighth princess like her dead daughter, it won't be so fanfare, right?

Tong Qingyan sat on the soft sedan chair with a little apprehension under Qiu Xin's loving gaze, and as soon as the sedan chair was raised, she heard a soft voice blocking the way of the team from far and near.

"The Queen Mother has an order, Xuanyanyang County Lord Cining Palace."

"The Queen Mother has a life, and the Lord of Yanyang County should go to see her immediately, but the Guifei Niangniang has been waiting for a long time, and the Gongfang of Labor Qian went back to say goodbye, and later the Guifei Niangniang and the Lord of Yanyang County went to the Queen Mother to say goodbye in person."

Qiu Xin still had an impeccable smile on her face, but the body that stopped in front of Tong Qingyan's soft sedan car did not move at all, one knee was slightly bent, and she saluted respectfully, but in her words, she refused to hand Tong Qingyan over to the other party tactfully and firmly.

Father-in-law Qian is thin, his face is white and beardless, his eyes are slightly narrowed at this moment, and the gloom in his whole body is even heavier.

"Aunt Qiuxin said this, our family doesn't dare to go back to the queen mother like this, the concubine can't get along with the queen mother like this, do you want to embarrass the emperor?"

Qiu Xin still maintained a saluting posture, and when he heard Father-in-law Qian pulling Jia Kangdi, although his posture did not change, his heartbeat was still slightly faster.

If you want to say that this palace is full of palaces, who will the concubine suffer in whose hands, it is only the queen mother. Jiakangdi has always been filial, even if he loves the concubine, if the queen mother really wants to care, the concubine will also suffer a loss.

Tong Qingyan in the sedan chair felt that she was really miserable, she was named the county lord for some reason, and she seemed to provoke the queen mother inexplicably.

However, there are many things in life that can't be avoided, so when you encounter something, you have to face it bravely, and then try your best to solve it.

"Father-in-law Qian leads the way in trouble."

Tong Qingyan lifted the sedan curtain and motioned to the palace man who carried the sedan chair to put himself down.

Qiu Xin looked at Tong Qingyan who walked out of the soft sedan chair with a worried face, only to see that she gave herself a smile, and then watched Tong Qingyan in full costume walk in front of Father-in-law Qian and his party.

"The lord of this county has never been to Cining Palace, and he has to bother Father-in-law Qian to lead the way."

Father-in-law Qian glanced at Qiu Xin, who pursed his lips, and then looked at the fearless little girl in front of him, and smiled softly.

"It is a blessing for a slave to be able to serve the county lord, but it's a pity that the slave came late and didn't have time to prepare a soft sedan chair, and His Royal Highness the county lord went to Cining Palace with the old slave."

"Father-in-law, please." Tong Qingyan turned around and looked at Qiu Xin, who wanted to stop her, and shook her head slightly, "Please Aunt Qiu Xin go back and tell your stepmother that Yanyang has asked the Queen Mother to say goodbye, and then go to ask her stepmother to say goodbye." This is the rule, and Yeonyang should follow it. ”

The last sentence was a little more emphasized, Qiu Xin probably understood what Tong Qingyan meant, retracted the steps he had taken, and led a group of people towards Xirui Palace.

Speaking of the empress dowager of the dynasty, the queen of Emperor Jingcheng, that is, the sister of the empress dowager of the dynasty, married Emperor Jingcheng for three years without any problems, Emperor Jingcheng lost the patience to wait for his son-in-law, and one after another concubines became pregnant and gave birth.

In order to get the help of the Empress Yuan's mother's family, she married the current Queen Mother as the stepmother, and the Queen Mother was more prosperous than her sister, and there was Jiakangdi in the next year.

Emperor Jingcheng ascended the throne, Emperor Jiakang became the prince in the name of righteousness, and took over the dragon chair of Emperor Jingcheng all the way smoothly, and the queen mother also ascended the throne of the first person in the harem, but the light was converged overnight, and the people built a small Buddha hall in Cining Palace, on the grounds of praying for the emperor for the blessing of the country, and concentrated on worshiping the Buddha without asking about mundane things.

The harem was under the control of the four concubines and the concubines one after another, and after more than ten years, no matter how much things happened in the middle, they failed to lead the queen mother out of the mountain.

Thinking back to the letterhead sent by Song Zhan last night, Tong Qingyan pulled the corners of her mouth silently.

His face is really big, the first time he saw the concubine, he was about to be recognized as a righteous woman and named the county lord, and today the queen mother gave herself such a big face, and she wanted to see herself. It is estimated that once today's day passes, there will be many more spies around Tong's Mansion.

Regarding the evaluation of this queen mother, Song Zhan used two very advanced but not good-sounding words in his letterhead: sweet face and bitter heart, Buddha mouth and snake heart.

Tong Qingyan felt that if it was because of the unpleasant sight of the concubine who favored the six palaces, the old man of the Queen Mother wanted to take a knife on herself, then she would be too proud of herself.

In today's Hongmen banquet, the Queen Mother is definitely not the protagonist, but she doesn't know who is the unlucky guy who was beaten by Feiyan.

Tong Qingyan was in a very good mood and followed Father-in-law Qian around, to be honest, although she didn't know the location of Cining Palace, but in a normal person's way of thinking, Cining Palace wouldn't be so remote, right?

Tong Qingyan, who faintly felt that the soles of her feet were sore and unbearable, glanced at the increasingly sparsely populated aisles around her, and then looked at the figure of Father-in-law Qian, who was unswervingly leading the way, Tong Qingyan felt that it was time for the show to begin.

"Ouch-"

"Little... What's wrong with you, county lord? ”

Feiyan quickly reached out to support Tong Qingyan's body and asked worriedly.

"Your Royal Highness, what's the matter?"

Gonggong Qian, who was walking in front, also turned his head and walked back a few steps when he heard the sound, looking at Tong Qingyan who was sitting on the ground by Feiyan, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

"It hurts... The county lord is afraid that his feet are twisted, and Father-in-law Qian can have a place for the county lord to rest, and the slave of the county lord knows a little about medical skills, so let her help me straighten my bones. ”

When Father-in-law Qian heard that he wanted to straighten his bones, he looked at Tong Qingyan's appearance in a cold sweat, and it was estimated that he was really injured, but there was a nervous look on his face.

"You are all dead, and you don't want to support the county lord. Your Royal Highness the County Lord, the nearest resting place near here is a small garden, and no one usually goes there, so why don't the old slaves wait for the county lord to go there? ”

"Okay, hurry up and help the county lord over, it hurts to death."

"Whoa."

Father-in-law Qian and his entourage surrounded the "sprained" Tong Qingyan, and when they arrived at the small garden, there was really no one and the environment was very elegant.

"Please wait here for a while, and the old slave will go back to the queen mother. You, and you, go and ask the doctor on duty. ”

Without waiting for Tong Qingyan to respond, the people in the pavilion were hula-la-la, and only Tong Qingyan's master and servant remained.

Feiyan looked at the figure that quickly disappeared behind the rockery, shook her head slightly, turned her head to Tong Qingyan's interested gaze, and smiled shyly.

"What do you shake your head and sigh for? Listen to it, don't worry, I don't blame you for whatever you say. ”

"The slave thinks the Queen Mother is a bit stupid."

"Why do you say that?"

"The traces are so obvious, they can't wait to run, as if there is a ghost chasing them behind...... County lord, didn't the slave mean you...... The slave is stupid and can't speak, so don't be angry. ”

"I'm angry, you're right, I'm probably going to be a scared ghost for a while. Oh no, it's probably you. ”

Feiyan looked at the faintly excited master inexplicably, I don't understand why Miss is so happy?

"Feiyan, look there." Tong Qingyan pointed to a broom handle exposed in the crack of the rockery next to the stone steps of the pavilion, "Go and fold that broom, just the handle." ”

"Yes."

Watching Feiyan weakly walk down a few stone steps, the knife fell together, and a stick in front of her eyes came to her, Tong Qingyan applauded with envy and sighed, and handed the stick to Feiyan.

"Take it, and have a tool to take advantage of in a fight for a while."

"Fighting? Is there going to be a fight?! ”

"It should be, happy?"

"Hmm... The slave just thinks that the slave and the maid are finally useful, happy? Sort of. ”

Tong Qingyan looked at Feiyan, who was holding the stick tightly and the back of her white hand was full of green muscles, and silently drew a cross in her heart for the person who was going to be beaten.
