'Good! If @ book# bar Lingxi hears the words. A cone in my heart. Quietly raised his eyes and glared at Caifeng in shyness. turned a resentful stab on Ming Shen's body. I hate her partiality and injustice. Why no matter what kind of good thing. It always falls on Caifeng first. This is how the clothes and the food are eaten. Nowadays even choose men. And so it is.

...

Cining Palace is extremely luxurious. After the renovation. More brilliant and magnificent. Step into the courtyard. There is a rich chrysanthemum fragrance and a nose pounced into the nose. Bypass the painted shadow wall of the pine crane for a long time. The main hall gate came into view.

There are courteous little eunuchs with a curtain of Wanfu brocade. Let Ming Shen step in. Suddenly, a choking smell of tobacco filled my nose. I saw Empress Dowager Hui holding a long jade-mouthed mahogany cigarette stick. Wearing an orange eight groups happy to meet a thick brocade phoenix robe. Reclining on a gilded couch. The majestic high bun is curled with a phoenix crown with emeralds and beads. Strung of pearls in strips of rain hangs down beside you. Pearlescent. Miserable and dazzling.

And in the gilded rosewood chair under her head. According to the level of position. Respectively, the princess was sitting on the Lan Queen. Feng Guifei. There are also concubines, concubines and other warblers.

The hall was silent. The concubines were in such a coercive and solemn atmosphere. The atmosphere didn't dare to gasp. Only Empress Dowager Hui is smoking a cigarette pouch. Make a few sizzling sounds. Enjoyable and satisfying ringing in the air.

Ming Shen stepped forward calmly. Holding on to a slightly bulky body. Slowly kneel. Bow. Three kneels and nine knocks. shouted loudly: "The concubine asks the queen mother to say goodbye. I wish the Queen Mother eternal blessings. Shou and Tianqi."

Empress Dowager Hui squinted and cut her autumn pupils. From the corner of his bright red lips spit out a rich and choking white smoke. sneered: "Concubine Shen seems to be a little late to come today. It can be seen that the cautious appearance in front of the mourning family before. It's all pretending to fool the mourners."

Ming Shen heard the words. Suddenly raised his head. The look of grievance in his eyes: "The Queen Mother Mingjian. It's not that concubines are disrespectful. Nor is it intended to be disrespectful to you. Rather, the concubine was on the way to Cining Palace. Encountered a tanuki attack. Luckily, I dodged the past. The black cat died of poison. This allowed the concubine to pick up a life to fulfill her filial piety to the Queen Mother. Therefore, the time to say goodbye was delayed. I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me."

"Oh." Empress Dowager Hui raised her eyebrows. Hold the jade cigarette holder to your mouth. Shu Leng smiled: "Such a vicious thing can happen in the palace. The mourning family must be strictly investigated and dealt with in the future. But Concubine Shen herself is also confused. Now with a dragonborn. Even the emperor is reluctant to let you bow down. Even if you don't come to Cining Palace to meet the old woman of the mourning family. No one dares to say anything about you. Why bother to settle the province day and morning? This is the matter of today. If something goes wrong in the future. Is it not the fault of the mourners?"

How could you not know it? Most of the black cat incident was caused by Empress Dowager Hui to instruct others to plot against her. But there is no evidence. And Empress Dowager Hui is Wenxuan's mother-in-law. Now the authority is in hand. Take control of the harem. She is on guard except for caution. Secretly forbearance. And how.

Thereupon. But see that her eyebrows are mild. Smile forbearantly: "The Queen Mother is serious. Even if the concubine has an accident in the future. That's only to blame the concubine for protecting the dragon fetus. How dare I complain against you? And the concubines themselves know how to measure. Even if the emperor cherishes the concubine's pregnancy and hard work. Eliminate the morning and dusk provinces. But the concubines never dare to forget to the queen mother's filial piety'. Concubines will 'have trouble sleeping.'"

Empress Dowager Hui heard the ridicule in and out of Ming Shen's words. The autumn pupils shot out a poisonous light as fine as a needle. But in front of people. I had to try to show a kind smile: "Concubine Shen is always like this, 'cautious words and deeds'. It's really flattering. No wonder the emperor exalted you so much. Don't kneel anymore. Sit."

"Thank you Queen Mother for your pity. Concubines and children in your womb can be so blessed by you. I really don't know what kind of 'good fortune' I cultivated in my life." Ming Shen raised a bright smile and thanked him. Then slowly get up. sat down at the bottom of Bai Fengxi.

Because Ming Shen is a person with a body. Even if Empress Dowager Hui looks at her ten thousand times in her heart, she is not pleasing to the eye. But you still can't lose half a point on face. He also specially instructed the palace people. Goose feather silk upholstery was added to her seat for her to lean on. Look at the scene. It's really impeccable.

At this time. Queen Lan next to her slowly put down the gold-painted teacup. smiled and bent his eyes and said: "In the end, it is still the 'good fortune' of Concubine Shen's sister. It was especially cherished by the queen mother. Erchen is really envious."

She is wearing a lake-blue dark flower silk robe today. Crested crested head inlaid with malachite. On the left side are two peony flowers. On the right side is inserted a hollow point cuifeng hairpin. The phoenix mouth has a string of beads made of golden silk and coral. Neither extravagant nor ostentatious. And without losing the sense of richness and luxury.

Empress Dowager Hui glanced at her casually. Sneered. There was a hint of reproach in his words: "If you can conceive a dragonborn. The mourning family also cherishes you a lot. But the Queen. You're getting a lot older. In the middle palace but there has been nothing. It's a royal taboo. You're going to have to work harder."

Queen Lan hurriedly knelt down and bowed her head. Make a nervous and panicked look. The grievance complained: "The son is immoral. I know that I am ashamed of the emperor's grace. It's just that...... It's just that the emperor rarely sets foot in Jingren Palace. The retainers just want to spread the branches for the royal family. I don't have that chance."

Empress Dowager Hui didn't bother to look at her. Only pounded the ashes in the smoke pot heavily on the Nanmu kang table. He said to himself: "I don't have the ability to keep the emperor's heart. Don't blame the emperor for not going to see you. Look at you. Dressed in a dull dress all day. Another solemn face. No talent, no virtue and no appearance. I can't even handle a little 'sesame seed-sized thing'. Don't say it's an emperor. Not. It's the mourners who are looking at you. It's annoying enough. You have to know. You are the Queen. Don't spend all day working on those 'little eyebrows'. Occasionally, I also learn the kung fu of Concubine Shen's serving. For example, playing a piano for the emperor. Sing a song or something. Are you afraid that there will be no heir in the future?"

Queen Lan heard this. Instantly, I felt the grievances in my heart springing up like mushrooms after a rain. But it can't be revealed on the face. Forcibly suppress the spicy and bitter taste in the throat. Accompany the Queen Mother to finish singing this double reed.

I saw her burrowing her head on the ground. Clenched his fists and took a deep breath. Calmly and slowly: "The queen mother taught me a lesson. In the future, Erchen will continue to improve his own shortcomings. to win the emperor's favor. But the queen mother just said that she wanted to please the emperor with singing and dancing. I beg your pardon for not daring to do so. Serving the king is a taboo in the palace. is like the concubine of the first emperor. Today's noble concubine. She is to serve the king with her voice. This led to the weakening of the dragon body of the first emperor. The tragedy of a violent death overnight. Erchen loves the emperor deeply. So I'd rather be lonely in the deep palace. I am not willing to hurt the emperor's dragon body."

"The queen can think so. That's right, too. You and the emperor are married. The mourners believe. Sooner or later, the Emperor will be moved by your affection." Empress Dowager Hui nodded with satisfaction. turned to look at Ming Shen with a sneer. Asked: "Concubine Shen. Do you think so?"

Ming Shen has long been accustomed to the cynicism of the Queen Mother. Don't be angry, but laugh: "The Queen Mother's every sentence is a wise saying. The queen is also a pearl of words. Although concubines are stupid by nature. I can't go into the details. But I also heard the intentions of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to the emperor. Since it's for the emperor. You can't go wrong with it."

Empress Dowager Hui picked up a cup of tea in her hand. Pull the lid back and forth. chuckled and said, "Since Concubine Shen said so. It's the same as the Queen's thoughts. I also feel that the noble concubine is guilty of serving the king. It should be punished."

Ming Shen also picked up the teacup at hand. smiled indifferently: "The concubine entered the palace relatively late. Whether the noble concubine is guilty or not. It's not the concubine's turn to comment. As for whether it should be punished or not. It's not all up to the Queen Mother's discretion."

"Yo. The concubine is really curious. How the hell did the Nalan family teach their daughter. Everyone who teaches them can sing and dance well. Eloquent. When I heard that the concubine was still a concubine. is also as clever and eloquent as Concubine Shen. It can be seen that Concubine Shen is now the true inheritance of your aunt. Why don't you see Concubine Shen go to Xianfu Palace to thank Concubine Gui Niangniang."

Yan Concubine who is touching up her makeup in the mirror. He put down the diamond-shaped treasure mirror in his hand. Revealing a delicate face like a flower. Sneered. She used to be a lady in Prince Duan's mansion. secretly surrendered to Gu Su Yilan, who was still a princess at the time. Now the queen is obviously on the side of the Empress Dowager Hui. She also thinks she has a backer. He also spoke a little sharper than he hoped.

The queen glanced at her with admiration. Then he said, "Yes, Concubine Shen. You should visit your aunt. I heard that she was seriously ill. But none of you Nalan people have come to ask for it. Even Princess Gulun, who was very good friends with her in the past. At this moment, it is also said that it is not suitable to enter the palace due to illness. And Concubine Shen's sister is now in full grace. Why don't you take care of your terminally ill aunt? After all, 'cousin. Breaking bones is also connected to tendons.'"

Although the queen's words are very gentle and amiable. But it's all about provocativeness. Everyone knows that the noble concubine is now a thorn in the side of the Empress Dowager Hui. Empress Dowager Hui hated Nalan and his party even more. Who cares about Xianfu Palace at this time. That is, it is clear that he can't get along with the Empress Dowager. If you don't go. She was said to be ruthless and unrighteous. It's like the Nalan family is a cold-blooded and ruthless person.

Ming Shen was silent for a moment. Pressing a handkerchief to the corner of the eye. Pretending to be pitiful, he said: "The queen doesn't know anything. The concubine though is her niece. But he never received a favor from her. even suffered a lot of humiliation from her. So just think she's a stranger. There was no need to visit her. The poor will have something to hate. I want to pay if the princess is really a good one. Why is he critically ill now? I don't even have any relatives around."

Empress Dowager Hui took a sip of tea. Moistened the throat. Tut praised: "Look. In the end, it's still Concubine Shen who looks at it. When the emperor was still a prince. So she and her eldest brother chose the emperor to enjoy the shade. I also heard that when the old general Nalan was going to be rude to the emperor. Thanks to Concubine Shen's eldest brother drawing his sword to help. The emperor still misses that love to this day. What is Zhongjun. Just look at the Shen brothers and sisters. You're all going to learn a little bit."

"Follow the teachings of the Queen Mother." The crowd left their seats en masse. Leaning over and shouting in unison. The sound of the ring-wearing collision jingle the bell. But it can't hide some ridicule and whispers in private.

The Queen Mother's words are beyond her words. are alluding to Concubine Shen's brothers and sisters eating inside and out. The Nalan family is cold-blooded and ruthless. It's a person with a little bit of a brain who can understand it. You can see it. Empress Dowager Hui doesn't want to see Concubine Shen. Lose face everywhere. Give her no face.

Concubine Lin remembered that she had helped her and Bai Fengxi in the palace in the past. I also admire Ming Shen very much. had the heart to quietly relieve her. But it can't help too obviously. Then I thought of the fact that now Xue Guifei is still in love. Bai Fengxi was very annoyed. So he had the idea of 'moving the trouble to Jiangdong'.

She gathered the violet painted hibiscus dress on her body. Smile like a meter. Delicate and elegant bun with tourmaline dots. Silver-plated double happiness tassels fall a few lily of the valley flower spikes. Swaying softly as she leaned over to speak.

"Just the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother. Concubine Shen talked about playing the piano and singing. It makes the concubine think of song and dance. The snow concubine in our palace. But it's a notoriously enchanting dance. It's a pity that the concubine doesn't have that eye. I haven't seen it yet. It's a pity."

"What is there to regret. It's just some crooked dances......" Empress Dowager Hui pouted disdainfully. It can be seen that there are not many concubines who are being favored by the Holy Grace. It was also mentioned by Concubine Lin. Only then did I find out that Concubine Xue didn't come to say goodbye to herself. The face is elongated at the moment. Displeased: "When has this been. Why hasn't Concubine Xue come over to say hello to the mourning family? She thought that the favor of the special room for half a month in a row came down. In my eyes, there is no mourning for the queen mother?"

The Empress Dowager Hui's personal service Mama Chun hurriedly attached to the Queen Mother's ear. whispered: "Return to the Queen Mother. Early this morning. Li Gonggong came to report. It is said that the emperor cherishes Xue Gui and the master is overworked. and spared her the morning and dusk of these days."

Empress Dowager Hui heard it. Anger rises from the heart. Angry: "What overwork. The mourners saw that she was a fox to bewitch the Lord. Singing day and night. Jump. I can't wait to hook the emperor's soul."

Concubine Yan was already a concubine to Nangong Xue as a small concubine, but she was a noble concubine. Easily crossed her to the point of holding a grudge. Take this opportunity. Hurriedly flattened his mouth and complained to the Empress Dowager Hui: "The Empress Dowager said that it was too right. Concubines are not the kind of people who like to tell the truth. It's just that this Xue Guifei is too disagreeable. Although she is favored by the emperor. But you can't be noisy every night with the singing and dancing of the birds, so that the harem can't be at peace."

"That's not all. The emperor is also going to use gold spar to build a scarlet snow platform for her outside the Hanxiang Palace. I heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already started to prepare." Bai Fengxi's words were sour like a pool of old vinegar. Fingers caress the lines on the red gold dagger. It seems to interject unintentionally.

Actually, she doesn't like the appearance of Xue Guifei. Anyone can see it. Anyway, as long as it's a woman favored by Wenxuan. It's as if they all have a deep hatred for her.

"What. The emperor actually built a lot of construction for her." Empress Dowager Hui's eyes suddenly became cloudy. Leng scolded angrily: "It must be this Xue Gui Concubine who is restless. The emperor built her a scarlet snow platform. Damn it. It's so hateful. Such a big thing. The mourners didn't even know about it."

"The Queen Mother is angry. That Xue Guifei can sing and dance. The emperor built a scarlet snow platform for her. Maybe it's just for you to see a better dance." Concubine Lin has always been calm and calm. And it seems to be very good at speculating on people's hearts. Not only do you know how to meet others. Better at how to provoke people.

Really. By what she said. Empress Dowager Hui's face was even more angry: "I can sing and dance. Bah. To talk about the dancing skills of the concubines in the palace. Who can match Concubine Feng and Concubine Shen. Why don't you see them clamoring for a stage?"

"This Xue Guifei is really too ignorant. The emperor has just ascended the throne. I want this and that. Don't take you, the master of the harem, seriously. The Queen Mother should be taught a stern lesson." Queen Lan said hatefully. The afterglow of the eyes flashed over the anger on the face of the Empress Dowager Hui. I was secretly thinking about how to use the hand of the Queen Mother. Pull out the thorn in the flesh of the snow concubine.

"She's in favor right now. The mourners taught her a lesson at this time. It is not the same as teaching the emperor a lesson. Does the empress want the mourning family to have trouble with the emperor?" Empress Dowager Hui looked at the queen. Asked in a cold voice. The sharp and cold gaze was like a poisoned arrow about to pierce the chest. It made her feel incredibly coerced.

Queen Lan realized that she had made the wrong move. I was so scared that cold sweat was dripping on my forehead. Hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The son has no mouth to hide. Momentary nonsense. I also ask the queen mother to forgive the concubine for the crime of gaffe."

Empress Dowager Hui glared at her slightly annoyed. Leng said: "Don't think that the mourning family doesn't know what you're thinking. Don't forget. The mourning family also beat you here. That little ninety-nine in your heart. I can't hide the eyes of the mourning family."

Concubine Lin was the first to react. smiled at the Empress Dowager Hui with great flattery: "The Empress Dowager's shrewdness. Naturally, it is incomparable to concubines and others. Remember when you were still Concubine Hui. The first emperor often praised you in front of people as the 'first strategist' of our golden harem."

Empress Dowager Hui was physically and mentally comforted by Concubine Lin's sycophancy. He looked at her with a kind and full smile. Unconsciously, the more I look at it, the more I love it. Zhi praised: "Concubine Lin, you are really a crystal hearted glass person. The hateful emperor was blinded by those foxes. On the contrary, I have wronged you, a lovely girl."

Concubine Lin pretended to be ashamed and covered her red lips. His eyes were filled with a hypocritical smile: "The Queen Mother, don't raise your concubines. The concubine is just the origin of a small family in the south of the Yangtze River. Being able to give the emperor as a concubine is already the blessing of the ancestors. Where do you dare to be wronged?"

Concubine Lin's humble and dexterous temperament seems to be very loved by the Empress Dowager. The rest of the time. The queen mother deliberately snubbed the concubines. Only shouted at Concubine Lin and asked for warmth. There were many people who were envious on the spot. Later, everyone said that Concubine Lin was the best at slapping horses. Although it is not loved by the emperor. Instead, he fell on the big tree of the Empress Dowager Hui. He is also a Lord who refuses to settle down.
