CHAPTER XXIV
Qin Se frowned, then stretched out, and said with a nonchalant smile: "The eldest princess will make a comeback, and the palace will be favored again." ”
Momiji was puzzled and wondered: "Why is Niangniang so determined, but what can I do?" ”
Qin Se explained: "I can't talk about the way, it's just that this palace has been in the palace for a long time, although the emperor is afraid of the harem to interfere in politics, but more or less I can hear about it, the emperor relies on the eldest princess and the zaizhi infighting to consolidate the power, so for no one can make a high contribution, the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, so he will not stand on any side, these days he is spoiling the zaizhi openly and secretly, but the eldest princess has been too powerful recently, after a few days, look at the time, the emperor will come back." ”
Momiji nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and after thinking about it, he hesitated a little, "But... Isn't Jae Zhi the emperor's man? Now even the harem is talking about it, the eldest prince is mainly losing power, and several maidens recommended by the eldest princess to enter the palace have begun to prepare to climb another high branch, and the queen mother's palace is much more deserted, so doesn't the lady plan to have other considerations? ”
Qin Se chuckled lightly and teased: "You don't have to forget that you are the eldest princess's person, how can you instigate this palace to betray the eldest princess now?" ”
Hongye was shocked when he heard this, and he was dizzy these days, and some words blurted out, forgetting the purpose of entering the palace, and his expression suddenly panicked, "What did the slave and maid say that shouldn't be said?" ”
"Plop"
knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty: "The slave and maid have been dizzy these days, patronizing the future of the mother, and they have forgotten their identity, and they ask the mother to forgive their sins." ”
Qin Se looked at the red leaves lightly, and couldn't tell for a while whether this statement was really for his own good, or whether he was testing his attitude.
With a light smile, he smiled and said, "Get up, since it's for the good of this palace, how can this palace blame you, but if it's really for the good of this palace, you shouldn't say such a traitorous thing to seek glory, understand?" ”
Hongye bit her thin lip nervously, and hurriedly said: "The slave knows her mistake, and the slave doesn't dare anymore." ”
"Okay, let you get up, why do you have to kneel on the ground, it's too cold this winter, and the ground is cold."
Hongye breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, although the days he spent with the qin concubine were not long, but he also knew a little bit of the qin concubine's style of doing things, so he could figure out a little bit of the meaning.
"Thank you, mother."
Qin Se Wan'er smiled, looked at the red leaves and frowned a little worried, and said with relief: "If the real emperor reuses Zaizhi, the eldest princess will lose power from now on, so she will have to hide the bow and hide the bird, and the Zaizhi will not understand this truth step by step, and the emperor does not want to see a minister leaning towards the government and the opposition, threatening the throne, and Zai Zhi is only eight buckets, if the emperor gets rid of him, it is inevitable that there will be many unwillingness in his heart, and now the eldest princess is still rooted, and she still has the right to speak in the court, so she has not gone to the place where the fish is dead and the net is broken, and the emperor is not willing to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred." ”
Hongye nodded half-knowingly, although he didn't understand it, he knew that the eldest princess would still be on the rise, and Niangniang was about to gain grace, so thinking about it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and he even guessed and asked: "Niangniang, when did you say the emperor will come?" ”
Qin Se sneered, "How can you know when the emperor will come to the palace?" Seeing that the eldest princess has been snubbed for many days, this favor should be soon. You little girl, why are you in such a hurry? ”
Momiji pursed his lips and complained dissatisfiedly, "When Niangniang is favored, which one can't respect Niangniang?" This lady was snubbed, and these two of them were like avoiding the plague, hiding far away, and even those who came to ridicule, and... And that noble man..."
"Alright." Qin Se scolded lightly, and there was some displeasure in his voice, "How much suffering you have endured, how much grace you can receive in the future." You are attached to the Queen Mother all your life, and there are no waves, this time it should be regarded as an experience, and you will practice it well. Only when the heart is at peace can we go further and stand more firmly in this deep palace. ”
Hongye was startled, and then realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly responded, "The slave understands." ”
Qin Se let out an "um", and the displeasure slowly faded, and he glanced at the door, but the door curtain was blocked, and he couldn't see it, "Is it still snowing outside?" ”
Momiji was puzzled, but he also obediently walked to the door, opened the curtain, and as soon as it opened, the howling wind swept in with large snowflakes, and the front hair of the red leaves turned white.
Hurriedly closed the curtain and went back to his life, "Niangniang, it's still down." And it's getting heavier and heavier. ”
Qin Se sighed softly, "It is said that it is cold after the snow, I'm afraid that these charcoal fires are not enough for this month." Red leaves, can the dragon well before the rain rewarded by the emperor last month still remain? ”
"Keep it, Niangniang said that the queen mother likes Longjing before the rain, so let the slave keep it in case of emergency." As soon as the words fell, he realized that he was in hindsight: "Niangniang is going to ask the Queen Mother?" Didn't Niang Niang say that the Queen Mother didn't like to care about these little things? ”
Qin Se bent the corners of his mouth, "The palace does want to ask the queen mother, but it is not for this little thing, it will be the queen mother's birthday in a while, although the queen mother has been asking for a small job, but the dance at this birthday banquet is always indispensable, as long as the queen mother asks the queen mother to dance in the palace." ”
Hongye thought for a moment and hesitated: "At the birthday banquet, the dancer can propose it herself, so why bother to give any gifts?" Shouldn't this be used on the blade of a knife? ”
"And when do you think you're on the edge?"
Hongye shook his head lightly, "The slave doesn't know, the slave just thinks that there is no wind and no waves, and this dragon well before the rain is extremely precious, and there are only these two jars in this and the Spring Palace, which is inevitably a pity." ”
"Reluctant to let the child not be a wolf, if you want a person to have you in your heart, you always need to pay something, you can't give up anything, the queen mother in the backyard of the deep palace is slowly boiled from a noble person to the queen mother, and she knows that she naturally has more than us, and the eldest princess is outside, and she can't take care of everything, after all, far water can't quench your thirst, and it won't be wrong to be close to the queen mother. Although the emperor is jealous of the queen mother, the queen mother is always his nominal queen mother, and he will not do unfilial things. And finally..."
The corners of her mouth drew a meaningful smile, "The Queen Mother's palace is deserted, at this time I still don't forget to be close, it is tantamount to seeing people's hearts, and I also need to let the Queen Mother see that no matter what happens, the palace is now by her side, sending charcoal in the snow is always better than icing on the cake, when the Queen Mother is in power, there are a variety of things to send, and our gadgets are not surprising at all, this is out of shape, there are fewer things in front of her, she can also see it, then this is not just a matter of two cans of Longjing before the rain, do you understand?" ”
Hongye suddenly said: "The slave understands, the slave and the maid will do it."
