"Queen Mother, Queen Mother is having dinner, why don't you come back later?"

Lan Chun, the maid of Jingxi Palace, was at the door, prevaricating me with the excuse of the Queen Mother's meal.

I frowned, and couldn't help sighing: "I haven't seen the queen mother in this palace for several days, I miss it very much, I didn't sleep well last night, and I didn't have time to eat in the morning, so I ran to ask the queen mother to say goodbye, if the queen mother is inconvenient to eat, then the palace is waiting here." Du Ruo, bring the cloak, it's really a little cold. ”

Du Ruo put the big flower velvet cloak on me, and then reminded me with pity: "Niangniang, let's go back to the palace to rest." ”

I shook my head, "Let's wait slowly, anyway, His Majesty the Emperor will come over when he goes to court." ”

When Lan Chun heard me say this, he hurriedly returned to the house and went in to spread the word to the Queen Mother.

"Niangniang, why do you have to put down your body so much for Du Ruo?" Du Ruo held my hand and said with pity: "Du Ruo would rather never marry for the rest of his life than beg the queen mother." ”

I took Du Ruo's hand and corrected with a smile: "Du Ruo, this palace is not here to ask the queen mother for anything, but to tell her a truth, let her know that not only this palace can't be offended, but the people around this palace can't be offended." ”

Du Ruo looked at me with a puzzled expression, and then guessed a clue, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Niangniang said that it was the person sent by the Queen Mother who assassinated me last night?" Why, is it because I want to be with Sun Zheng, or because I am a mother's person? ”

"Or both, but neither of them will allow her to be so careless of human life."

As he was talking, Lan Chun walked out again. I motioned for Du Ruo to silence and change my smile.

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother asked you to wait in the house, as for the entourage, you don't have to enter the palace."

I smiled lightly and explained: "This is not good, this palace is pregnant, and she always needs to be taken care of by someone close to her, this palace only trusts Du Ruo alone, she must follow this palace." ”

As I spoke, I grabbed Du Ruo's palm with my backhand, and was about to walk inside, not wanting Lan Chun to stand in front of me.

"The queen mother, the queen mother has a will, as long as the queen enters."

I stared at Lan Chun coldly, "Lan Chun, the queen mother will leave the palace, the palace has something important to find the queen mother, if you stop it in many ways, the palace will not be polite." ”

As I spoke, I raised my right hand, clenched my fist in front of my chest, and then lowered it again.

When Lan Chun was still hesitating, he suddenly heard someone say: "The bold slave even dares to block the queen's way, and he doesn't retreat quickly." ”

Emperor Qi Yan walked over with Ji Li angrily, stepped forward and took my hand, and found that it was a little cold, so he became even more angry.

"Don't you know that the queen is pregnant? How could you make the queen wait outside for so long! ”

Seeing that the emperor was furious, Lan Chun was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Your Majesty spares your life, slaves and maids, slaves and maids are all in accordance with the orders of the Queen Mother......"

"Nonsense, how can the queen mother be so mean, it must be because you are jealous of being punished in Jingtai Palace that day, and deliberately make things difficult for the queen. Come on, drag it down and slap it! ”

While speaking, Ji Li commanded the two entourage eunuchs to come up and put Lan Chun up, Lan Chun cried and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid are not, the slave and the maid are wronged......"

Without waiting for Lan Chun to finish speaking, a slap was slapped. When I saw this, I hurriedly took Emperor Qi Yan's hand and persuaded with a look of pity: "Your Majesty, the concubine believes that Lan Chun didn't mean it, just teach her a lesson twice." Alright, you guys, stop! ”

Emperor Qi Yan glanced at me, a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said in a low voice: "Good people have let you do it." ”

I blinked, "Haven't we always been the best match?" ”

Qi Yan raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and waved it, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, since the queen speaks for you, Gu will spare you this time." ”

Lan Chun covered her red and swollen face and knelt on the ground to thank me and Qi Yan. Qi Yan stretched out his hand to support me, and said softly: "Let's go, let's go to the queen mother together." ”

I smiled and said softly, "Okay." ”

When I walked to the hall with Qi Yan, the Queen Mother was leaning on a chair and sipping hot tea, and I was a little displeased when she saw Qi Yan and I coming in together. Seeing Lan Chun come in with a red and swollen face, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Lan Chun, what's the matter." ”

Lan Chun immediately knelt on the ground and said aggrievedly: "Niangniang, the slave maid accidentally neglected the queen's mother, and Your Majesty taught her a lesson." ”

The Queen Mother raised her head and looked at me with hatred again. I grabbed Qi Yan's hand with my hand, and Qi Yan naturally knew that I was asking for help, so he stepped forward and saluted and explained: "The right minister came to greet the queen mother, and it happened that the queen was also waiting outside the door, and the son stepped forward to shake the queen's hand, and found that the palm was cold, so he blamed Lan Chun for delaying the queen to enter the palace to ask the queen mother." ”

Lan Chun also knew that he couldn't offend anyone, so he hurriedly added: "Niangniang, it's the slave and maid who are too slow and delayed for some time, it's the slave's fault, the slave and maid have been punished, and I ask Niangniang not to pursue it anymore." ”

After speaking, Lan Chun looked at the Queen Mother with tears in her eyes. The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and had to endure it.

I looked at the master and servant, and I almost sympathized with them, but when I thought of the assassination last night, Cui Yun was still lying on the bed, and I immediately hardened my heart again.

"Alright, now that you've been punished, get up." The Queen Mother motioned to the palace maid on the side, stepped forward and helped Lan Chun up, "Go down and apply some medicine, the province will make people not recognize you as the palace maid of Jingxi Palace." ”

"Yes, thank you Queen Mother."

Lan Chun saluted the Queen Mother, turned his head and saluted me and Qi Yan, and then retreated with the palace maid.

"Sit down."

The Queen Mother finally remembered to show me and Qi Yan the seats, Qi Yan supported me, came to the chair together, and saw that I was sitting down safely, so I sat aside with confidence.

"It's really rare on this cold day, you guys actually came to see the mourning family together." The Queen Mother looked careless, "I'm afraid that I will go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and I have something to say." ”

"What the queen mother said, why is it okay, and the sons can't come to Jingxi Palace to sit?" I smiled with a slightly coquettish tone: "Erchen has been thinking about his mother a lot these days, isn't it the same as his mother, often thinking about his son?" ”

The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "It's rare that the queen will have such filial piety, and the mourning family also misses you, but I'm afraid of disturbing the queen, in case I'm not careful, what move shocks the queen, isn't it a sin for the mourning family." ”

"The queen mother is serious, the sons are free to practice martial arts, and their courage is still so small, and along the way to send their relatives, they have also encountered several night assassinations, and they have never been afraid." I turned my head, pulled Emperor Qi Yan, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, the concubine has also stabbed a few assassins." ”

"Really, I didn't expect the queen to be a chivalrous woman." Qi Yan happily agreed, I pretended to be shy, and said softly: "That's also a last resort, if they didn't know whether to assassinate the concubine, the concubine would naturally not raise a knife to fight back." ”
