Ying Shu instinctively retreated, even more resistant in her heart, and a little unable to understand Hang Guifei's operation, so she only shook her head and said, "What does this mean, Niangniang?" Where is a concubine worthy to say such a thing? This is His Majesty's family matter, how dare the concubine put his beak on it? ”

"Nope." There were so many glooms on Concubine Hang's face that she couldn't have more, "Mrs. Wang, this palace really doesn't have the heart to disrespect the queen's mother!" Wang Niangzi is the queen's sister, and she can speak in front of the queen, you know, I have never had any harmful intentions, I just want to be safe, and please the queen, don't dislike me. ”

Ying Shu just felt very complicated in her heart, looking at Concubine Hang's sincere eyes, she couldn't find a trace of other thoughts, it looked very sincere, as if this person really thought like this. It's just that when I think of Ying Huan's current situation, Ying Shu feels that the woman in front of her is just a woman who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, and all the weakness and kindness are just pretending. If this woman really has no ambition at all and does not have absolute respect for Ying Huan, I am afraid that there will never be anything that happened in the past when she was pregnant with a child but did not dare to make it public.

"What do you mean by this? Who would dislike you? You are a noble concubine, a model of women in the world, Your Majesty and the queen have always respected you! Besides, now that you are the biological mother of the eldest prince, you are even more noble. Ying Shu deliberately kept her distance.

"Could it be ......" Hang Guifei was still delicate, "Could it be that the queen is really unhappy because her concubine gave birth to a prince?" The concubine promised that the concubine's child would never cross the queen's child in the future, the queen's child was a concubine, and the concubine's child was a concubine, how could the concubine be compared? Tears almost fell from her eyes: "Or, or the queen is willing, the concubine is willing to give the eldest prince to the queen to raise, and from now on, the concubine will never be seen again." After that, Concubine Hang's tears dripped from her eyes just right, "Wang Niangzi, the concubine really has no choice but to tell you like this!" ”

Seeing Concubine Hang like this, Ying Shu felt a headache even more, but she told herself to kneel down quickly, and hurriedly refused Concubine Hang: "Isn't the concubine Niangniang tormenting the concubine?" The concubine is just a foreign wife, how dare she get involved in the affairs of the harem? The concubines only wish that Your Majesty's queen and the concubine Niangniang will be healthy and happy, this is really Your Majesty's family matter, and the concubines dare not put their beaks in the slightest! Niangniang, the concubine really can't do it! ”

Concubine Hang shook her head and looked at Ying Shu, Ying Shu took a step back, Concubine Hang took a step forward, and only said: "Wang Niangzi, I ......" She gestured to help Ying Shu up.

Ying Shu hurriedly kneeled and took a few steps back, and she couldn't care about the knee pain, so she could only desperately keep a distance from Hang Guifei, and kowtowed to Hang Guifei and said: "Guifei Niangniang don't want to embarrass the concubine, if the concubine feels that the concubine is useless, the concubine can only kneel in the courtyard to punish the anger of the concubine!" ”

"Mrs. Wang...... You ......" Concubine Hang was very surprised, she never expected Ying Shu to behave like this, she just stood on the ground and was a little at a loss.

Ying Shu took advantage of Concubine Hang's failure to react, so she hurriedly walked to the courtyard and knelt down straight, her expression was serious and motionless, just like a sculpture.

Suddenly, Ying Shu began to be glad for the etiquette rules that she learned in Wang's house when she was a child, as one of the compulsory punishment kneeling classes, Ying Shu was intuition and miserable when she was in school, but now she can't imagine that it can really come in handy one day.

I still remember the words of Mrs. Wang when I was in Wang's house: "In our family, you will naturally be punished less, but if you go out of the house in the future, marry into your in-law's family or enter the palace, there will be few such times." If you want to save your life, don't be bitter now, for sooner or later you will be useful. ”

Well, it's really useful now.

The posture is low enough, so that there is nothing wrong with the rules and etiquette, so that just suffering is better than falling into Concubine Hang's ecstasy.

After kneeling like this for a while, Concubine Hang finally gave up the idea of using Ying Shu as a breakthrough, just sighed for a long time, stood at the door, and looked at Ying Shu with sorrow and helplessness in her eyes: "Wang Niangzi, I was abrupt, you go to see the queen mother." I didn't say these words today. ”

"Then the concubine retired." Ying Shu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but she still adhered to the rules of etiquette and bowed respectfully before going down.

Concubine Hang looked at Ying Shu's back as she withdrew, and then let out a long sigh, "Is it really there, there is no way?" ”

On the side, Concubine Hang's personal maid stepped forward to help Concubine Hang, who was swaying slightly: "Niangniang, why bother? ”

Concubine Hang shook her head: "That's it, you don't understand, I just ...... Alas......"

When Yingshu returned home, she began to curse Concubine Hang secretly, and while massaging herself with apricots, she complained: "What is this? This Concubine Hang, not only bullied the eldest sister, but also put her hand on my head today? But what does she mean by calling me? Is it just to show off your might? Can ......"

It's just that in the bottom of my heart, I thought of Concubine Hang's appearance of wanting to cry, and I was very cramped and uneasy, but it didn't look like I was pretending......

Maybe the acting is too good. Ying Shu thought to herself, so she picked up a chopstick and sour plum and ate it.

"The girl has really suffered, and the queen has also suffered." Apricot and Yingshu expressed their dissatisfaction with Concubine Hang.

"Alas......" mentioned the eldest sister Ying Huan, Ying Shu's mood was instantly bad again, and even the more she thought about it, the more anxious she became: "Now that the Emperor Taishang is locked in the South Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in a difficult situation, and the eldest sister is ...... But I can't enter the palace if I am partial, what can I do? ”

In a trance, I was caught in an unsolvable game.

The situation is always unsolvable, and the mood is always restless, but she is still pregnant, and she has to tell herself to try to calm down, at least not to affect the child in her womb.

But there is a vague mysterious feeling in my heart telling myself that the turmoil of these days is afraid that it has only just begun, and it will not be long before something happens that everyone is powerless.

She tactfully told the eldest princess what she thought in her heart, and the eldest princess thought the same, but the eldest princess and Ying Shu were about the same helplessness, "Although I feel like this, I can't help it...... Although I sent someone to see the flybridge corridor, it will take some time, and I am afraid that I will ...... during this period."

During this period, it is not destined to be calm.

For example, the crown prince Li Yuan didn't know how many times he had been seriously ill.

When the last time the crown prince Li Yuan was said to be not in good health, the next day, a close confidant of Emperor Li Ming wrote a letter to say that the crown prince Li Yuan's health is always in trouble, and also asked to abolish the title of the crown prince Li Yuan and replace the eldest prince Li Ji as the crown prince.

Naturally, this was not easily accepted by the courtiers, but there were not a few who echoed such thoughts. It is worth mentioning that most of these families did not express their position on the spot, but said: "The ministers don't know, please think twice." ”

It's just that it was passed to the harem, and Empress Yinghuan and Concubine Cao were the first to object, and the two of them coincidentally went to the Qianyuan Palace where Emperor Li Ming was located to ask for a meeting, but the result can be imagined, and they did not see the emperor.

Queen Ying Huan immediately led everyone to rush to the South Palace where Emperor Li Jing "meditated and cultivated his body", and the lock of the door of the South Palace could not be opened, so Ying Huan ordered the accompanying guards to forcibly break the door.

This move was naturally blocked by the guards guarding the gate of the South Palace, but Ying Huan ordered with the dignity of the queen, and personally pulled out the scabbard from the hands of the guards guarding the door, and only said solemnly: "If you want to block the palace, you will kill the palace with this knife!" Otherwise, with the dignity of the queen, can't this palace order you to wait? ”

At this time, the guards did not dare at all, Ying Huan led everyone into the South Palace to meet the Emperor Taishang and the Empress Taishang, and almost all the eating utensils in the entire Kunning Palace were moved to the Taishang Emperor and his wife, and said to the Empress Taishang: "I have wronged the emperor's sister-in-law." It's just that now the concubines really can't do anything, so they can only do so much now. I also ask the imperial sister-in-law to forgive her sins. ”

Empress Taishang, who had suffered a lot, became more and more gentle, but she held Ying Huan and wept continuously, sobbing and saying a few words casually, but there was no mention of Emperor Li Ming's abuse in her words, only to thank Ying Huan.

Ying Huan was very frightened, repeatedly saying that she was not, and finally said for a long time before she dispersed.

When Gan Shangshi told these scenes to Ying Shu vividly, Ying Shu's mood couldn't help but feel a little heavier.

Gan Shangshi still took advantage of going out of the palace to buy and secretly ran out to talk to Ying Shu about these things. According to Gan Shangshi's own words, it was the first time she followed Queen Yinghuan into the South Palace, and she knew how difficult the situation of the Emperor Taishang was.

"The Emperor Taishang is nominally in Nangong to recuperate, and it seems that he is extremely noble and treated better than before, but during this period, he is even inferior to the cold palace, lacking food and clothing. When I went in, I saw that the queen on the stage was actually cooking by herself, and half of the rice was still broken. Now that it's almost winter, the Emperor Taishang and others are still only wearing summer clothes, and several ladies of the Emperor are sewing winter clothes by themselves. That's really ...... Appalling! ”

Although he had expected it for a long time, he still felt like a thunderbolt and was very shocked.

"Sister Gan......" Ying Shu was a little anxious, but after thinking about it, she retracted her hand again, not that she didn't believe in Gan Shangshi, but that she had to be cautious.

Gan Shangshi obviously realized this, and looked at Ying Shu's expression and fully understood, "Sister, I don't know how to make you believe me, it's just that I am favored by the Emperor and the Queen Taishang, and the queen mother is dedicated to helping the Emperor and the Queen, so I naturally know in my heart." If the girl doesn't believe it, she just kills me, but now I'm dressed in microclothes, and I can't find the princess's mansion no matter how I check. Girls can search my whole body. ”
