The green locust high willow cicada is hoarse, and the smoke wind blows and the curtain is deep.

After a rain, the drought in Gyeonggi eased a little, the emperor's face stretched, the prince's body gradually recovered, and the queen's heart that she had been carrying for days gradually let go.

"Niangniang's complexion is really good today," the palace maid who combed her hair praised while inserting a Shangqing jade bead hairpin into the queen's phoenix bun: "The jade face cream presented by the Internal Affairs Office is also really easy to use, and the fine lines at the corners of your eyes are all gone after only a few days." ”

"People are in good spirits when they are happy, and the effects of external things are limited." While looking at her face in the mirror, the queen said: "As long as the emperor has less troubles, the prince is healthy, and the harem is calm, I will be content with everything." ”

"Niangniang is a person of destiny, and she is deeply blessed," said the old lady on the side: "Naturally, God blesses her." ”

"I hope so." The queen sighed softly.

Her luck is good, but no one knows how long luck lasts.

"County Lord Ann!" The voice of the palace maid and eunuch outside the door came in, and the queen knew that the county lord of Duanmin had arrived.

Because she loved this only niece, the queen allowed her to come to the palace without a gift.

"Why didn't you go to morning class today?" The queen got up and asked the county lord Duanmin.

The county lord grinned and said, "Lan Qi and Yining went, I didn't go because I had a headache in the morning." ”

"How long has it been since you had a headache?" The queen looked at Lord Duanmin with seven points of love and three points of blame, knowing that she was playing tricks, she just didn't want to study.

"I miss my aunt so much." Lord Duanmin coquettishly hugged the queen's arm and said, "Listening to Wu Fuzi's lecture is really boring, I feel sleepy when I sit there." ”

"It's rare for you two companions to read, but you really don't care about it, if you go on like this, you will be punished one day, and it will affect the two of them." The queen said helplessly.

"I sometimes feel sorry for the two of them, so I ask my aunt to point them out two good marriages in the future, which can be regarded as repaying the favor I owe them." Lord Duanmin said with a smile.

"You ghost, you owe a favor, but you expect me to pay it back for you." The queen stretched out her hand and poked lightly on the forehead of the county lord of Duanmin: "But what you ask for is not too much, Concubine Chen Shufei told me a few days ago that she took a fancy to the girl of the Wei family and wanted to say goodbye to her nephew." The Chen family has a good family background, and it is a good match for the Wei family. ”

"What about Yining? Is there a suitable candidate for the queen? Lord Duanmin asked curiously.

"Speaking of which, this child is indeed rare, she is transparent and keeps her duty, although the Wei family has been defeated, but I am really satisfied with her." The queen sighed lightly and said, "Although the appearance is not as outstanding as Wei Lanqi, it is dignified and generous and very attractive." ”

"Yes, Yining is the one who looks plain at first glance, but the more I look at it, the more I think it looks good," Lord Duanmin said seriously: "I don't know who the queen wants to marry her?" ”

"I just have that idea that hasn't been decided yet, and you can't tell you about it." The queen said.

"Don't worry, the queen, I will never say a word to the outside world." Lord Duanmin reassured.

"The day before yesterday, she helped Jill out of the siege in front of the emperor, and I am very grateful to her. You also know that your second emperor brother has always been reckless in his recklessness, and he is the one I am most worried about. The queen said: "Although he can't be a concubine in his or her capacity, he still makes it possible to be a side concubine." ”

"Does the queen mother mean that she wants to marry Yining Xu to the second emperor brother as a side concubine?" Lord Duanmin was a little surprised when he heard this: "Does the second emperor brother know?" ”

"Of course he doesn't know," said the queen, shaking her head, "these things are not in a hurry, they need to be considered in the long run. That's why I told you not to tell outsiders. ”

"Oh." Lord Duanmin agreed, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, letting Wei Yining be the second prince's side concubine is really Gao Pan, but Lord Duanmin just feels that Wei Yining has been wronged in this way.

It's just that in front of the queen, he can't show it well.

"I'm going to go to Xu Guifei for a walk in a while, do you want to go with me?" The queen asked the lord of Duanmin.

"I won't go, since I'm pretending to be sick, I'll pretend to be like some, so as not to be said that I'm pampered and proud." Lord Duanmin stuck out his tongue and said.

"You're clever, now that you know, go back to your dormitory." The queen gently admonished, "Don't run around anymore." ”

The queen came to Xu Guifei's Tianxi Palace.

A eunuch hurriedly went in to greet her, and Concubine Xu dressed up to greet her.

"I don't know if the queen mother is here in person, she is not welcomed, and she hopes to forgive her sins." Although Xu Guifei is favored, she has always abided by the etiquette that she should have in front of the queen.

"My sister is more polite, we don't need to talk about these rules and etiquette between our sisters." The queen said and helped Xu Guifei up.

"The queen's words can be tormented by the concubines," Xu Guifei hurriedly said: "Please go in and sit down, I asked them to make Longjing tea, which is the mother's favorite drink." ”

"I love to drink the tea you brew here, and I can't say what I miss if I don't drink it for a few days." The queen took Xu Guifei's hand and said as she walked: "Obviously it's all the same tea, why is it better for you to have it here?" ”

"Don't people often say that the rice is fragrant? Or maybe my sister misses me and wants to talk to me. Xu Guifei replied with a smile.

Speaking of which, although Xu Guifei is favored and arrogant in front of other concubines, she has always been respectful to the queen, so although her relationship with the queen is not reversible after entering the palace for many years, it is still passable on the surface.

"I heard that the prince is in good health, and I am really happy." After sitting down, Xu Guifei said to the queen: "My sister has been worried these days, but now she can rest assured." ”

"However, the prince has been weak since he was a child," the queen sighed, "not like the other three." ”

"Actually, it's just a little illness and pain, and no matter how old you are, it's better." Xu Guifei comforted: "I heard that if you are young and frail, you will be healthy after marriage." The crown prince will be crowned in the next year, and he will be married at that time. Double happiness and rush, naturally all diseases are eliminated. ”

"Then borrow my sister's auspicious words." The queen smiled when she heard this: "I feel very tired in recent days, and there are many things in the harem, so I want to ask my sister to take charge for me for a few days." ”

"It's unacceptable." Xu Guifei immediately excused herself and said: "Sister, you have always known me best, I have always been used to being idle, and I am the most careless and fearful." It's my sister's work to do such a big thing, I really can't afford it. ”

After gossiping in Concubine Xu's palace for a while, the queen got up and said goodbye.

Eunuch Ding walked over and whispered beside Concubine Xu Guifei and asked, "What is the queen doing here?" Do you really want the mother to cooperate with the six palaces? ”

"Humph! She was clearly here to test me. Xu Guifei sneered: "A few days ago, the womb was not peaceful, and she must have suspected that she had my share, so she came to visit me today." I don't know how I would do those things that don't come to the table! ”
