Soon it was August 15, and before it got dark, Shi Qingqian got into the carriage and prepared to go to the palace.

Today, she is wearing a beige background embroidered auspicious moire round-neck full-sleeved cotton satin robe, and the lower body is a dark yellow folded branch flower liuxian skirt, and the clothes are covered with a layer of autumn-scented jacquard Tengwen tulle plain face. The whole person is as bright as the autumn moon.

Because Xue Ying had a bad stomach at a critical time, Shi Qingqian had no choice but to leave her in the Hou Mansion and enter the palace with Xiaolian alone.

When sitting in the carriage, Xiaolian looked at the two packages beside her and said, "The gift carefully prepared by Miss will definitely make Concubine Shu like it." ”

Shi Qingqian also smiled and nodded, "Whether she really likes it or not, it's not a very important matter, anyway, I prepared with my heart, at least I don't lose in my heart." ”

Maybe it's because of Jiang Yuhua that Shi Qingqian still has a little bit of a grudge against Concubine Shu in his heart, although the eldest lady once told him to be cautious in his words and deeds, and not to bump into her, after all, it is not easy for his father to find a capable partner who supports his political views in the political field, and Shi Qingqian is unwilling to block his father's path because of himself, so he used some thought to prepare a congratulatory gift for Concubine Shugui.

But she had already decided before she left home that she must force herself to be normal when dealing with Concubine Shugui.

The carriage and horses soon arrived at the palace gate, Shi Qingqian got out of the carriage with the support of Xiaolian, and as soon as he came out, he saw Zuo Shinian, who had also just arrived here.

The carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion slowly leaned next to the carriage of the Hou Mansion, and after the little servant lifted the curtain, Zuo Shinian slowly stepped on the step stool and jumped down.

Shi Qingqian stood aside, looking at Zuo Shinian with a dignified and serious face, and captured the change in her expression when she saw herself, she originally had a serious face, and when she saw herself, she instantly smiled, "Ah, sister! ”

"Shi Nian, why are you so serious?" Shi Qingqian walked over with a grin, and with a familiar movement, he pushed his elbow against Zuo Shinian.

"What do you say?" Zuo Shinian pouted and raised her eyebrows, with an expression of blaming Shi Qingqian for knowingly asking, "I think you're quite happy." ”

Shi Qingqian understood that Zuo Shinian had the same thoughts as herself, nothing more than because Jiang Yuhua was unwilling to associate with Concubine Shu, but she was more open than her.

Seeing the depression on her face, Shi Qingqian comforted: "It's okay, it's just such a day anyway, and maybe ...... Jiang Yuhua's sister is not the same kind of person as her? ”

"Alas, none of the women in the palace are fuel-efficient lamps." Zuo Shinian shook her head and sighed, but she didn't know what she saw, and suddenly the conversation changed, "Of course! Except for our lovely and beautiful five princesses! ”

Sure enough, as soon as Shi Qingqian raised his eyes, he saw the five princesses walking outward inside the palace gate, dressed in colorful long clothes.

I saw her pretending to come over in a daze, glared at Zuo Shinian viciously, and asked Shi Qingqian again: "Sister, is this guy talking bad about me behind my back again!" ”

Faced with the question of the fifth princess, and Zuo Shinian secretly pinched his hand, Shi Qingqian was embarrassed by both parties, so he had to turn his head away, and read in his heart: "I'm deaf, I can't hear, I'm dumb, I can't speak......" pretending that nothing happened.

This kind of fighting, several people have long been used to it, and the fifth princess is naturally not really angry, but she hasn't seen her for a long time, and she just teases the two of them.

Seeing this, the fifth princess shook her hand and sighed sadly: "Alas, it's a shame that this princess has turned out to greet you, tsk......tt"

"Alright, alright!" Zuo Shinian smiled helplessly, jumped up, and hung his arms on the necks of the fifth princess and Shi Qingqian left and right, "The courtier has made amends to the fifth princess!" ”

The smile clearly does not mean the slightest 'reparation'.

The three of them worked together, and finally left behind the inherent prejudice against Concubine Shu in their hearts, and their mood when they entered the palace was no longer so heavy.

There was laughter here, but Ning Shou Palace's anger was at another pole.

The queen mother, who was high above, was angry at the people under her hands at this time, her eyebrows were already erected, and the center of her eyebrows was clustered into furrows, and the hand with the richly decorated nail cover slapped fiercely on the table in front of her, eager to turn it into dust.

"He's a lady, what kind of moon viewing banquet is held, it's clearly provoking the palace!" As soon as she spoke, Ah Cai, Ah Bi, and several subordinates kneeling in front of her trembled.

As the lord of the six palaces and the emperor's wife, not to mention that from the time she was pregnant for ten months to the time she gave birth to the crown prince Shen Xuan, the emperor almost never asked her about her situation, and even the rewards when she was pregnant and gave birth to a child were just routines.

If it weren't for the fact that her family had a pivotal position in the court, would Shen Xuan still want to sit on the throne of the crown prince? I'm afraid that even I will be abolished by him!

Anyway, the queen no longer expects any concubines in her heart, and after a glance of ten thousand years, she only wants her son to be able to sit firmly in the future.

But that kid acted stupidly like a donkey, implicated himself in this Mid-Autumn Festival, and he had to be grounded in Ningshou Palace!

"I knew a few months ago that Concubine Shu was looking for a way to get pregnant, are you all stupid!" The queen yelled as she pointed at the person in front of her.

A few months ago, they found out that Concubine Shu's Changle Palace frequently invited imperial doctors, and it took a few twists and turns to figure out that Concubine Shu was asking the imperial doctors to find folk remedies in order to make themselves pregnant with a dragon. Maybe she also feels that she is constantly in favor, but she still has no heirs, and she always can't say it.

But since then, the queen has repeatedly asked people to try to obstruct her, but she still succeeded.

What the queen is most afraid of is that once Concubine Shugui successfully gives birth to a dragon son, it will affect her Xuan'er's crown prince.

"The Queen's Mother...... Today, when the slave maid goes out of the palace to receive the payment...... See ......" Ah Cai lowered her head and said timidly. She also thought about it for a long time before deciding to say it at this time.

Seeing her spitting, the queen was even more unhappy, "What do you see?" ”

"When the slave saw Concubine Shu, her abdomen was already a little bulging......"

"What!? Didn't she just say she was pregnant recently? ”

The news of Concubine Shugui's pregnancy is only more than a month, but it is absolutely impossible for a one-month fetus to have a shape.

The queen was silent.

She thought that when her confinement period was over, she would go out and deal with the damned fetus, which would be more than enough time, and she could think about it in the long run, and not worry about it.

But the fetus has already taken shape, which means that it is at least four or five months old. When her deadline for closure has passed, the concubine Shugui is almost about to give birth, how do you want her to do it again to hold her Xuan'er's crown prince?

"Heh......" I don't know if she laughed angrily, the queen pulled out a smile, "This woman actually concealed her pregnancy, is she afraid that someone will interfere with it?" ”

Her gaze wandered back and forth over the kneeling crowd, thinking about something.

It seems that it cannot wait any longer.

Her tone softened suddenly, "Ah Cai, I didn't want you to interfere, but now you are the only one in Ningshou Palace, and you can go out because you need to go to the Internal Affairs Office to get your allowance, and some things have to be handled by you." ”

Ah Cai immediately kowtowed deeply to receive the order, she understood what the 'thing' in the queen's mouth meant, and when she raised her head, her eyes became as ruthless as the queen: "The queen's mother, please say, slave, you will live up to ......"
