"In this world, cowardly people can only passively accept the trick of fate, as long as the strong will believe that fate is to rely on their own to fight, the glory of the Xiao family for a hundred years is not born out of thin air, but the result of the perseverance and hard work of the ancestors."

"The mother is right, the slave has been taught." Aunt Sun then knelt down in front of the imperial concubine and said.

"Auntie doesn't have to reply on her knees." The imperial concubine followed and looked at the small pestle beside her and said, "Auntie, sit down and talk." ”

Aunt Sun said humbly: "The slave doesn't dare. ”

The imperial concubine insisted: "If the palace asks you to sit down, you can sit down." ”

Aunt Sun didn't dare to disobey the order of the imperial concubine, and after thanking her, she was already sitting on the small pestle on the side.

"Auntie, do you know that there are ungrateful people in this Changchun Palace who eat inside and outside and turn their backs on the old master?" When the imperial concubine said this, her eyes did not stay on Aunt Sun, but stared at the white-glazed porcelain cup in her hand.

Aunt Sun suddenly heard this, and saw that the imperial concubine's tone was sharp, and she was already trembling with fright, and finally clenched her fists to calm the fear in her heart.

"Niangniang, the slave maid is the old lady's dowry maid, and she is very kind to the old lady and the mother, and she will never dare to have two hearts for the mother." Aunt Sun had already raised her head to meet the imperial concubine's gaze when she spoke, and her eyes were really fearless and calm.

"If this palace really doubts you, it won't ask you in person." The imperial concubine lightly opened her lips and took a sip of the tea in her hand, "But it is difficult for people in this palace to tolerate such a person who eats inside and outside." ”

"In Changchun Palace, there are only two people who serve Niangniang in close quarters, the slave maid and the cloud girl." Aunt Sun tried to analyze, "There are indeed a lot of palace maids in Changchun Palace, but there are very few who can find out your secrets. ”

"Moire has been with Hongu for nine years." The imperial concubine then ruled out the suspicion of moire, "Moreover, moire wants to rely on the blessing of the palace to be the daughter-in-law of the palace, as the so-called relatives are different, the mother-in-law of the palace is naturally more reliable than the old general, and the moire is not a confused person, and he will not betray the palace for the old general." ”

"If Niangniang can trust the cloud pattern girl, then the only one who may be close to the core secret is Miss Tong'er." Aunt Sun said honestly.

"Tong'er is young, and she has never had any involvement with the powerful from all sides, and she doesn't know it carefully enough, so it won't be her." The imperial concubine then denied the possibility that Tong'er was a spy.

"Who could that be?" Aunt Sun was anxious to find out the spies in Changchun Palace, and then there were already some speculations, "Could it be the prince's people or the concubine Li who is diligent in coming to ask for your mother on weekdays?" ”

"I think that the person who planted the spy in the palace room of this palace, in addition to wanting to find out the news in the palace, but also to attract the suspicion of the people below in the palace for no reason."

"Mother, mean don't pursue that traitor for the time being?"

"Let's put this on hold off for a moment." The imperial concubine continued, "The palace has also wedged a nail in the eldest princess's mansion, but the county lord of Liuyun has not screened the traitor with great fanfare. The imperial concubine then warned Aunt Sun again: "Don't let the third person know about this matter." ”

Aunt Sun hurriedly replied to the imperial concubine's words and said, "If the slave knows, she will not let the third person know about the suspicion of the mother." ”

Shoukang Palace in Ziyun City.

"Sanfu, the palace has not been so lively for a long time." The queen mother's gaze followed on the pear meat good Langjun who was above the small number in front of her, "The princesses of all dynasties are obsessed with poetry and books, and some are obsessed with martial arts, but there are few who are so good at cooking as Yu Xin'er." ”

Aunt Feng followed the Queen Mother's words and said: "Her Royal Highness the princess has no mother since she was born, and she has suffered so much since she was a child, and now it is really rare to still have a pure heart." ”

"It can be seen that Han'er really loves his sister." When the Empress Dowager mentioned Shangguan Hanyue, her eyes softened a little and said, "Han'er is now past the age of the crown, and it is time to marry a good wife." ”

"In the past, Prince Heng had not yet married a wife, and now His Royal Highness Prince Heng's wedding date has been set after the spring of next year, and the Queen Mother, you can arrange the marriage for the prince." Aunt Feng looked at the Empress Dowager's smile that deepened because of the mention of Shangguan Hanyue and said, "Empress Dowager, the most beloved of your grandchildren is the prince, and you have already decided in your heart the candidate for the princess and concubine, just waiting for the opportunity to introduce people to the prince." ”

The Queen Mother followed and looked at Aunt Feng beside her with a smile and said, "Sanfu, the third day of the first month of next month will be a good day." ”

"Is the Queen Mother going to introduce people to the prince at the eldest princess's birthday banquet?" Aunt Feng couldn't help frowning and said, "The Lord of Liuyun County treats our prince ......."

"Tilt Wan is indeed a good boy, of noble birth and impeccable temperament." The Empress Dowager glanced at Aunt Feng beside her and said, "But she was born in the eldest princess's mansion, and no matter how old Han'er wants to call her aunt according to her seniority, even if she throws away those red tapes, only with the military power of Da Zhou, a quarter is in the eldest princess's mansion, and she and Han'er are destined to be lost." What's more, Han'er only respects her, and she never has any personal feelings. ”

"The slave maid thinks about the eldest princess's birthday banquet, and the second lady will also go." Aunt Feng is the empress dowager's confidant, and now the situation in the court is naturally clear, "Although the county lord of Liuyun is obsessed with the prince, but fortunately, the prince has no intention of the county lord, but now who in the imperial capital does not know, the prince's heart is now all tied to Miss Ning Er of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

"Are you worried that at the eldest princess's birthday banquet, Han'er will refuse the concubine chosen for her by the mourning family for the sake of the second girl?"

"The prince is now at the age of blood and strength, and he has put himself in danger several times for the safety of the second lady." Aunt Feng frowned and said, "The slave thinks that in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the matter of choosing a concubine cannot be rushed, and you have to plan slowly. ”

"Sanfu, in this deep palace, you are the only one who is willing to think so much about the mourning family, even the relatives and flesh of the mourning family may not be so considerate of the mourning family's thoughts." There was a flash of loneliness in the eyes of the queen mother, and then she sighed and said, "Everyone wants to ascend to the queen seat that women in the world dream of, although the mourning family is not the queen, but after the emperor successfully boarded the plane was canonized as the queen mother, if you don't really ascend to this high and cold back seat, how can you know that even if you are the most noble woman in the world, you may not be able to do everything as you want." ”
