For the emperor's disappointment with the empress, it is inconvenient for this Lu Cheng to speak, he does not dare to speak, and he cannot speak.

The reason is also very simple, he is a slave in the end, and the emperor and the queen are the two most noble masters in this palace, he is a minion, what can he say to the masters?

He just bowed his head and waited for the emperor to say, "Okay, I know this." ”

Lu Chengcai nodded, "Then what does Your Majesty mean......" He paused before saying, "The slave said, about the matter of the eldest prince, since it is the queen's mother who has come to intercede, does Your Majesty want to give any response?" ”

The Emperor sneered, "Response? What response? The only response that our queen mother wants is for me to continue to get angry with the eldest prince again, and it will get worse and worse every time. ”

Lu Cheng shook his head and didn't speak.

The emperor said, "She is stupid, but she thinks that the whole world is as stupid as her, and what does she care?" It's up to her to go, and she can't do anything. ”

Lu Cheng actually understands now, the emperor actually has the intention of choosing the crown prince in his heart now, but the one to choose has never been the side that the so-called courtiers are on.

It's the one that the emperor thinks is smarter.

But for the current emperor, whether it is the second prince or the eldest prince, it is stupid, and even the queen is the same.

If it is the only time that the emperor feels that the eldest prince has beaten the second prince before, it is that in the previous competition, so many people knelt down to intercede for the second prince.

After a long time, in fact, the emperor already knew how could it be that he was really the second prince, and it was impossible for the whole dynasty to be so stupid.

And at that juncture, the person who wanted to provoke the emperor was actually the person of the eldest prince, I have to say, it was quite smart, and it was indeed effective, and at that time, it even confused the emperor, making the emperor so angry in the court.

No matter who the person behind the eldest prince is, or the eldest prince himself, it is true that at that time, the emperor was indeed a little favored by the eldest prince.

The Emperor leaned down, pressed his head, and sighed, "That's it, it's useless to talk about all this now." ”

Lu Cheng hurriedly said, "That's right, Your Majesty is tired for a day today, so let's rest early, Ming'er is just afraid that there is still something to be tired." ”

The affairs of Jiangzhou do not stop for a day, and the emperor can't really rest for a day.

But today was indeed too hard, so the emperor also stood up, and then pressed his shoulder, "Let's go, go back." ”

That is, there is no plan to go to the harem.

As long as the emperor is busy, he will not enter the harem, and this Lu Cheng is also clear.

He lowered his eyes, "Your Majesty is driving~"

-

Early the next morning, the snow had stopped, and it looked white and swaying outside, even if the sky had just dawned, it seemed to be like day, and those who didn't know thought it was already the middle of the day.

Chi Chi coughed lightly, and then the people guarding outside seemed to have heard clearly, and hurriedly rushed in.

Wait for a long time.

The window was opened, and you could see the scenery outside, which was really gorgeous and charming, looking like a deep winter, more like a fairy tale world in a dream.

She blinked, and before she could react, she coughed lightly twice.

Awei asked someone to bring warm water and asked Chi Chi to drink it first, "There is a charcoal fire and earth dragon burning in this house, no matter what, it is always a little dry, Your Highness still needs to drink some warm tea, be careful about your body, if you cough and choke on the wind carefully in this winter, this is not a joke." ”

Chi Chi nodded, "You're used to being verbose. ”

Awei was aggrieved, "This slave and maid are still worried about His Highness, if they change to someone else, they will ask for a slave and maid, and the slave and maid will not be happy to say it." ”

"Okay, okay, thanks to Sister Awei for taking care of her."

Awei laughed, "Your Highness, you like to make fun of slaves. She had the wash wash brought to her, and then she squatted down to put on her shoes.

Then his voice lowered, "Your Highness, today is ...... Fourteen. ”

Chi Chi hummed, and his tone didn't change at all, "So what's the matter?" ”

Ah Wei said, "Then when are we ......" and set off for the cold palace.

In fact, Awei is still worried in his heart, in a place like the cold palace, let alone whether he has eaten the last meal or not, but I'm afraid that it is such a cold day, and it is difficult to say whether there is a thick quilt on the bed.

Although Concubine Jing has suffered so much for so many years, her body is getting worse and worse year by year, and her age is also getting higher, maybe she didn't survive on any snowy day.

In that case, they don't know what they'll see.

Even she was so worried, but she didn't show any performance at all.

On the contrary, it seems that I can eat and sleep without worrying at all.

Even if His Highness said that there were thousands of households behind to help, but His Highness could believe in thousands of households so wholeheartedly, which was really not easy.

After all, this is putting the life of his dearest and beloved mother in the hands of others, this is ...... It's not something that can be done with a little belief.

"Let's go after breakfast."

Ah Wei answered, "Shall we bring something to eat for my mother?" The plum blossom cake made in our small kitchen this winter is still very good, and the slave looks at it and maybe the mother can like to eat it, let's ......"

"Awe." He interrupted her for a long time, and then said, "The one we went to visit was the concubine of sin." ”

Awe's words came to an abrupt end, and he didn't know what he was going to say for a moment.

Chi Chi laughed, "I know and understand what you mean, you think that the mother concubine is my mother, since we are well now, then the mother concubine should not suffer anymore, right?" ”

Awei pursed his lips, not daring to speak.

Chi Chi said, "But as long as her father does not forgive her one day, she will always be a criminal concubine." As long as she or the concubine of sin we go to visit, this is not a gift, it is a punishment, do you understand? ”

Awe didn't quite understand.

It's just that her expression was sad when she saw Chi Chi speak, and she didn't dare to speak again anyway.

And what is the situation in the cold palace that she has never entered, even if she herself said that she wanted to go in with Chi Chi, but was always rejected, and what the concubine who favored the sixth palace ten years ago and is now trapped in the cold palace is like, she has no way of knowing.

She didn't dare to ask.

Because she knew that whenever she asked, it seemed to be pouring salt on the wound of delay.

Ah Wei didn't dare to say anything about the cold palace anymore, just quietly waited for Chi Chi to freshen up, and then waited for Chi Chi to have breakfast, wrapped Chi Chi tightly, and then followed her out.

Chi Chi originally felt that he was wearing too much, but Ah Wei said, "Your Highness's body is not good in the first place, so you naturally have to take good care of your body, if Your Majesty knows that Your Highness is not in good shape because of going to the cold palace, I don't know what to say, but I'm afraid it will be blamed on Niangniang, Your Highness should wear more." ”

"You're getting better at talking now." ”

Awei said, "Where is it, the slave is just telling the truth." ”

"It's just that you're telling the truth, but I can't tell you anymore." Chi Chi smiled, and then sat in the soft sedan chair and went to the cold palace.

Compared with before, on such a cold day, she was just a single dress, not to mention the warm sedan chair, that is, she was going to walk in the ice and snow to meet her mother concubine on her thin broken shoes.

The two sympathized with each other, and she never thought that she would have such a day.

Didn't expect that?

No, of course she thought of it, not only did she think of it, but she had been planning for it for a long time, her plan allowed her to keep moving forward on this road, but it really doesn't matter how she moves forward, as long as the final goal can be achieved.

She sat on the sedan chair, the sedan chair swayed, there was ice and snow floating outside, she held the stove in her hand, and her heart was very calm.

It's not far away, one day, she doesn't have to go to the cold palace on such a day.

The cold palace has not come for a month.

In this month's time, the temperature has plummeted a lot, and the cold palace is originally located in the middle of nowhere, but since it is called the cold palace, it is really much colder than the ordinary palace.

As soon as Awe approached here, he couldn't help but yawn hard.

Then he looked at Chi Chi with anxiety, "Your Highness, the slave is guilty." ”

Chi shook his head and looked at the crumbling door number, and then there was no one to clean the yard so the thick snow had piled up, and some of the bottom had melted, so it looked a little embarrassed.

And the one above is obviously from yesterday, so it's still very white.

I guess it's because there is too much snow and no one has cleaned it up, so it looks so cold.

Chi Chi smiled helplessly, "You guys wait outside." ”

Ah Wei was still not at ease in the end, so he said, "It's better to ask the slave maid to accompany His Highness in." ”

There was no negotiation on this point, so he said, "Stand at the door and wait, and no one will come in without my command." ”

Awei could only nod, "Yes, the slave knows." ”

Therefore, all the people who were brought in for a long time were waiting at the door.

In the end, it's a different time now, when I came to the cold palace, I would call the palace maid who came with me to go back to the palace by herself, and the little princess who was abandoned in the cold palace.

Now that he is about to see the wind and snow coming, the person who came with him can't move, but he is afraid that he will be reprimanded.

That's why people in this era, no matter how much they pay, must climb to a higher place.

Because as long as you are in a higher place, you have dignity and you are worthy to speak.
