Chapter 266: The Queen Mother's Worries

"It's nothing, let's go to the theater first, and I'll talk to you when we get back."

Chu Yue shook her head slightly, trying to make herself look casual, watching the play in Qixiang Palace was a grace given by Feng Jixuan, and her appearance of having something on her mind could not be seen.

"No matter what is on your mind, now that the harem is staring at the three of us, you must put on a smiling face, don't be caught, and make people think that you are dissatisfied with the emperor's decision."

Ning Jieyu grabbed Chu Yue's arm, and her voice was extremely quiet.

"I know everything, don't worry."

Chu Yue nodded to indicate that he understood, and the three of them said as they walked, and soon arrived at Qixiang Palace.

The stage of Qixiang Palace has been set up, and there are already concubines sitting in their positions, waiting for the arrival of the queen.

Ning Jieyu and Chu Yue sat together, while Lin Cairen winked at the two and went to a slightly farther position.

When the queen came, Chu Yue was still a little uneasy, and always felt that things were not so simple.

"Sisters don't have to be polite," the queen smiled kindly and sat on the main seat, "Today is the emperor's grace, I invited the plum blossom class to sing in the palace, and I don't know what kind of drama my sisters like to watch, but the palace thinks "The Legend of the West Chamber" is good, what do you think?" ”

Yuan Zhaoyi covered the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, "If the queen thinks it looks good, then this is it, but the concubine still thinks that "Tanuki for the Prince" is better-looking, and if there is a play called "Bitter Meat Trick", it will be better." ”

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Lin Cairen meaningfully.

Chu Yue frowned slightly.

Yuan Zhaoyi meant this, is he talking about Lin Cairen's assassination, but it is actually a play deliberately performed by Lin Cairen?

"What is "Bitter Meat Trick", this palace has never heard of a play called "Bitter Meat Trick", Yuan Zhaoyi is really joking," the queen squinted at Yuan Zhaoyi, pretending not to understand the meaning of her words, "It's Ning Jieyu, you have just entered the palace, do you have any favorite plays?" ”

Ning Jieyu was named, and she hurriedly got up and smiled, "The concubine doesn't have any plays that she likes to listen to, this first play, it's right for the mother, where does the concubine dare to be in the limelight?" ”

"Sister Ning is too polite," the queen didn't open her mouth yet, but Wan Chongyi, who was sitting on the side, laughed, "My sister has just entered the palace, so naturally I don't know that the queen mother has always been virtuous and generous among our sisters. ”

Although it was only a faint smile, Wan Chongyi still couldn't hide the trace of self-satisfaction on her face.

The queen's eyes darkened, and then she curled her lips and smiled, "What Sister Wan said is really a bit exaggerated, as the master of the harem, this palace naturally wants to be an example among the concubines, but it is just a duty." ”

"What the mother said is," Wan Chongyi's eyes flashed unwillingly, and gently pinched the corner of her skirt, "The time is almost up, let's not push around, it's better to let the queen mother call the shots and order a play." ”

Obviously, it was the queen who sat on the main seat, but Wan Chongyi kept giving orders, Yuan Zhaoyi had the heart to watch the play, and echoed with a smile, "Yes, the queen, you are the master of the harem."

, you can order it first. ”

The queen didn't have the slightest displeasure on her face, she only picked up the excerpt and flipped it back and forth, before she said with a smile: "Since this is the case, let's order "Dream in the Garden" first." ”

Chu Yue doesn't like to watch plays, as long as she watches the play, she is a little drowsy, but the queen is here, she has to cheer up, sitting there and looking like she is watching the play seriously, but in fact, she has already thought of the queen mother in her heart.

If the Queen Mother really doubts her, then this matter is really not easy to say.

……

Sanqing Palace.

"Mother, my son has bothered you, how do you feel now?"

Feng Jixuan walked next to the Queen Mother and personally helped her to the soft couch.

The Queen Mother sat down and shook her head helplessly, "The mourning family is old, and I really can't stand a little heat, but the Sanqing Hall is much more refreshing, just sit like this for a while, and I already feel much better." ”

"That's good."

Feng Jixuan pondered the language, and poured a cup of tea for the Queen Mother with a smile, "What do you think of the recent assassination of Lin Cairen, Queen Mother?" ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she raised her eyes and glanced at Feng Jixuan, and said lightly: "Is the emperor asking about opinions, or does he want to explain to Chu Jieyu?" ”

"Mother, my son really can't escape your eyes for anything."

Feng Jixuan smiled dryly, "Actually, it's not that the son wants to explain to Chu Jieyu, it's really that this matter itself has nothing to do with her, the son just doesn't want the queen mother to misunderstand." ”

"You are the son of the mourning family, how can the mourning family not see what you are thinking?" The Queen Mother took the teacup and sighed, "You have Chu Jieyu in your heart, that's her blessing, as for Lin Cairen's assassination, the mourning family didn't really blame Chu Jieyu, you were too nervous." ”

Although the Queen Mother had already expressed her attitude, Feng Jixuan couldn't help but tell the Queen Mother about the matter from beginning to end, before saying: "This matter is Wan Changyi's private collusion with the Jianghu organization in an attempt to blame Chu Jieyu, and it was his son who did something to save Chu Jieyu from being framed." ”

"I know that you care about Chu Jieyu, and the mourning family does not object," the queen mother did not say a word about what Feng Jixuan said, "After all, the Chu family was really implicated back then, so it will end up with today's result, but everything must have a degree, the mourning family is up to the end, it is inconvenient to participate too much in the affairs of the harem, the emperor is a smart person and knows what to do." ”

"The queen mother can rest assured, and the son understands."

Feng Jixuan felt a little disobedient in his heart, but he still obediently saluted the queen mother, "The son is fine, so I won't disturb the queen mother's rest, so I will leave." ”

"Go ahead."

Watching Feng Jixuan leave, the Queen Mother retracted her gaze and put aside the teacup handed by Feng Jixuan.

"The emperor reassured her, which is not a good thing in the harem."

The Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh lightly.

"If you are anxious, you will be in chaos," Mama Jun couldn't help but comfort: "You are the queen mother, and it is your responsibility to let the emperor know right from wrong, but if it is really what you say, let the slave maid be the bad guy and maintain the balance of the harem." ”

"No need."

The Queen Mother shook her head slightly, "It's not that yet, here."

Don't meddle in it, let's take a look. ”

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she put the Buddha beads on the table and stood up.

"If the mourning family is tired, leave the young man's affairs to the emperor to do, let's leave it to the future."

As the sun sank, the Queen Mother looked at the sky outside the window.

The setting sun stained half of the imperial city red, and she had been in this palace for most of her life, and now she had to watch the harem repeat new battles.

In this harem, what has never been lacking is blood.

……

Qixiang Palace was brightly lit, and Chu Yue was sitting in his position, really unable to stand it.
