It is said that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and a pair of children make green plums in the royal garden, but unfortunately they are looked at by Concubine Zhang Defei and the second prince, and Concubine De turned around arrogantly and left without mentioning it.

But on the other side of the Imperial Garden, there were two other people who saw the whole thing in their eyes......

Queen Zhou has never liked Xing'er, and her eyes are full of displeasure, but Concubine Qing thinks that the two children are cute.

"It's funny for these little children, Queen." Concubine Qing chuckled and spoke.

"What a little child, according to the palace, this girl is a red face. If you don't have it, you should provoke less, so as not to be unlucky! "Queen Zhou has always disliked stars.

"Oh? Why did the queen say that? ”

Concubine Qing and the queen are not all the way, Concubine Qing is upright, diligent, thrifty and virtuous, never jealous and difficult people, if it wasn't for the Zhou family to have the identity of the old man, now the one who is in the back position, maybe it is Concubine Qing's mother, you know, Concubine Qing gave birth to a dragon son before the current Queen Zhou.

Concubine Qing has really been favored for a long time, and now the concubine and above have always been favored, which is the virtuous concubine, followed by Concubine Qing.

However, Concubine Qing's mother family was implicated in the "Lin Qingju case" and has declined, although Concubine Qing's status in the harem is unshakable, but her son Jingjiao, the third prince, has forever lost the qualification to compete for the throne, which makes Concubine Qing frustrated, and even more frustrating the three princes, and the three princes Jingjiao has gradually indulged himself.

"Did you hear about the other day?"

"What's the matter, the concubine hasn't heard of it."

"It's about this girl and the prince," Queen Zhou instantly became a woman in the market, chewing the root of her tongue, "said that the prince missed this girl in his heart, and even called this girl in front of the queen mother: sister." The Queen Mother was furious, taught a lesson to the people in Shuqing Palace, and punished this girl for kneeling for a day and a night, and this girl was seriously ill. ”

"Oh? This child is only five or six years old, and the prince is already thirteen years old, how is it possible? Queen, you can't be mistaken, right? "Concubine Qing really doesn't believe it.

"Hey, you, believe it or not!"

The queen and Concubine Qing walked into the Wanchun Pavilion, and the palace maid and eunuch who were close to her had already cushioned the stone bench to prevent the two ladies from being cold in spring.

"Queen Mother, it's not that the concubine doesn't believe you, it's just that this child is too young, how can the prince be? This doesn't make sense. Concubine Qing took a sip of fragrant tea.

"In this draft, the Queen Mother left a show girl, do you know?"

Concubine Qing nodded.

"I heard that the queen mother liked the girl the most, and wanted to point it to the prince in two years, so she stayed by her side to study."

"So what?"

"I heard that the queen mother was left alone with her three times twice, and the prince brushed his sleeves away several times, and the girl's fairy-like appearance couldn't get into the eyes of the prince, a little girl of unknown origin, but let the prince think, isn't this girl a disaster?"

In fact, Queen Zhou did not chew these tongue roots in order to pull the stars is trouble, Queen Zhou's original intention was only one, to move to the crown prince, and her son entered the East Palace, and there was nothing else to wish.

Concubine Qing shook her head and smiled without answering.

"The eyes of the six princes looking at that girl just now, you also saw it, this girl is so small, and Concubine Shugui's son is a sick child, and they are all full of spring in their eyes for her, how can this girl look like a scourge."

Concubine Qing shook her head with a smile.

"They are all still children, where do they understand these, the queen is too careful."

"What this palace said, you don't believe it, wait and see, sooner or later, this harem will let this girl stir into troubled waters......" The queen pinched a candied fruit and put it in her mouth, "You take care of your Jingjiao, what about this palace, take care of Jingxuan in this palace." ”

"That's what the Queen said." Concubine Qing smiled and took another sip of tea.

Queen Zhou was chatting with Zheng, and suddenly a palace maid ran over.

"Queen Mother, it's not good, it's not good" The palace maid knelt on the ground.

"What's wrong?! Shouting and screaming, what kind of system! Empress Zhou reprimanded angrily.

The palace maid swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva hard and calmed down her breathing a little.

"Queen Qiyu, you hurry up and take a look, Cheng Xiu Rong, she ......" The palace maid wanted to tell the truth, but it was a big crime to kill the head and behead the whole family, so I stood up.

"What's wrong? Isn't there something wrong with you? Concubine Qing stood up.

"Huiqing Concubine Niangniang, yes, our mother, I'm afraid it's useless......" said the palace maid and cried.

"What?!" Empress Zhou and Concubine Qing all exclaimed.

"Quick, take us around."

After speaking, Empress Zhou and Concubine Qing went to Dunxiu Palace together.

When the queen and concubine arrived at the gate of Dunxiu Palace, they saw that the courtyard was full of people, and they all looked forward to the side hall.

When the eunuch guarding the door saw that it was the queen, he immediately knelt down on one knee and asked for peace. Empress Zhou raised her hand and gave another look. The eunuch shouted, "The queen has arrived!" Qing Concubine Niangniang has arrived! The people in the courtyard knelt down to greet them.

"Nothing serious, right?" Empress Zhou rebuked.

Everyone bowed their heads and did not dare to speak.

"The queen is angry. It's all gone, what should you do, what to do! Concubine Qing sent away.

But everyone still didn't dare to move, after all, the queen hadn't spit yet.

"What's the matter? Do you want to stay here and be punished? Empress Zhou said angrily.

And all the people who were busy were scattered, every man to you.

"Who is the deacon in the palace today?" Asked after a week.

I saw a round little eunuch bow down and run over.

"Return, return to the queen, the deacon is a slave today."

"Which one are you?" Empress Zhou looked at it and didn't see it.

"Go back to the queen, the slave is a little fat man, originally called Xiao Shengzi, and then everyone said that he was fat, and after a long time, he was called a little fat man, and the lady concubine was weak, and she wanted to find a strong Titi palace righteousness, so Zhou Gonggong transferred the slave to come here."

"I see, no wonder Hongu hasn't seen it." Empress Zhou pointed to the side hall of Dunxiu Palace, "You are cute?" ”

"Go back with the queen, as soon as the contouring lady has an accident, our mother will go immediately, but our mother's body is really thinner, and when she saw the palace people holding it, she came out. Now I'm resting in the dormitory, and I can't breathe for a long time. ”

"Okay, I know, you go to work, this palace will go to see your mother in a while."

"Yes!"

"Wait, this palace just saw Jing Xuan studying in the Imperial Garden, go and ask your mother to show me and arrange for Jing Xuan to go to Ningxin Terrace for a few days."

"The slave obeys, and the slave goes." After speaking, the little fat man went to the main hall where Concubine Shu lived.

"The queen is merciful."

"Hey...... The palace also remembers Concubine Shugui's kindness to the emperor back then. Let's go inside. ”

Saying that, the two ladies entered the side hall of Dunxiu Palace one after the other.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the palace maid and eunuch were standing in half of the room, and the imperial physician Du Zhong was already cutting the pulse of Cheng Xiurong.

When Du Zhong saw the queen and Concubine Qing coming in, he wanted to get up and salute, but Queen Zhou made a gesture to let him continue to check the pulse. After a while, Du Zhong got up after the diagnosis and hurriedly saluted the two mothers.

"How's it going? Let's be honest. ”

"Judging from Niangniang's pulse now, it is quite gentle, Weichen has already applied the needle just now, and now he is asleep, but according to Weichen, it may be difficult for Niangniang to recover as usual."

"How?" Concubine Qing asked anxiously.

"His Royal Highness is gone in less than a month, and Niangniang has received a lot of stimulation." Du Zhong said truthfully, "Just now, while Niangniang was asleep, Weichen checked Niangniang's eyes, her pupils were dilated, and with her recent actions, I am afraid that there are some signs of madness." ”

"Crazy?!" The queen and Concubine Qing's colleagues were surprised.

"What's the solution?" Concubine Qing asked.

"The bell must be tied to the bell, but His Royal Highness has already ......," Du Zhong shook his head.

"The wound on your neck?" Concubine Qing asked again.

"The injury on Niangniang's neck is not a big problem, but there are some bruises, and the palace people will go to the imperial pharmacy to get medicine and then take some ointment to apply it for a few days."

"Du Zhong, Cheng Xiurong's matter today, about her mother and ancestor, self-suicide is a matter of losing her head, don't publicize it." Empress Zhou advised.

"Wechen understands."

"It's hard to work too hard, so please consider a good prescription." Concubine Qing advised.

"Wechen must be dedicated."

"Okay, you go ahead and make a recipe." Empress Zhou raised her hand.

"Wechen obeys." Du Zhong bowed and exited the dormitory.

"Meditation!"

"The slave is here."

"Send someone, give your mother to the imperial pharmacy to grab medicine!"

"Yes."

After saying that, he arranged for a little eunuch to follow Du Zhong to grab the medicine.

Queen Zhou and Concubine Qing walked to Cheng Xiurong's bed, checked the injury, and observed for a while, seeing that Cheng Xiurong was really asleep, they went to the living room and sat down. Meditation immediately serves tea.

"Meditate, and call me in all the minions who are waiting for me."

After a while, all the palace people in the Chengxiu Palace came in, and there were about seven or eight people, large and small, old and young. They all stand in the hall in a proper manner.

"Listen to this palace! Today, your mother is accidentally strangled her neck, if one day the palace hears that Cheng Xiurong is self-destructive, no one in this room will be left! ”

As soon as Queen Zhou's words fell, a room full of ** people fell to their knees and begged for mercy.

"Do you hear them all?" Concubine Qing asked.

"The minion hears clearly, you hear clearly." Everyone shouted in unison.

"Just hear it! From today onwards, inside and outside the palace, all of them will temporarily listen to the meditation dispatch and take care of your mother every day. ”

"Yes." The crowd replied.

"Meditation!"

"The slave is here!"

"You are the old man in the palace, you are the big girl in this palace, everything will be up to you for the time being, you can't ask the concubine for the time being, if you can't ask the palace, don't stay full, if you let the palace know that you are full of masters, be careful about your skin!"

"The slave obeys."

"After a while, I went to the Internal Affairs Office to get the materials, and set up a small stove in your own palace, one is for boiling medicine, and then I can cook some hot food for your mother from time to time."

"The slave obeys."

Empress Zhou gave instructions to deal with the matter, and then she was relieved.

"Sister Qingfei, let's go to Shuguifei and take a look, she is also cowardly." Empress Zhou got up.

"Queen Mother, please."

Concubine Qing followed, and the group went straight to the main hall of Dunxiu Palace.
