Zhang Youtao said while walking inside, but Feng Yi was in a hurry, according to the rules of the palace, the guards could not enter the master's bedroom casually without the master's call, especially in the place where there were female dependents, it was necessary to avoid suspicion, you must know that Zhang Youtao didn't matter if she left, she even followed the silver ring for more than 40 days, which made Feng Yi taste the torment of lovesickness, although it was difficult to talk to the silver ring before, but after all, you can see her every day, since Zhang Youtao returned to the Ministry of Servants with the silver ring, I've never seen the silver ring again!

Feng Yi was thinking nonsense, when he heard Zhang Youtao shouting: "Feng Yi, come in!" ”

Feng Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly walked into the palace.

"Feng Yi has been gone for so long, is there anything going on in the palace?" Zhang Youtao looked at Feng Yi's eyes and said.

"Back to Miss Tao'er, nothing happened in the palace after you left, but a few days ago, the Queen Mother and the emperor planned to be promoted to Concubine Ru Niangniang but were rejected by Concubine Ru Niangniang!" Feng Yi said respectfully.

Zhang Youtao couldn't help but laugh softly when she looked at Feng Yi's serious appearance!

"When did you become like this, is this still the Feng Yi I knew before?"

"Miss Tao'er, Feng Yi is in the rivers and lakes, but now I am working as a guard in the palace, and the etiquette of the palace must naturally be observed!" Feng Yitie replied with a blushing face.

In fact, God knows how much he wants to take off this layer of disguise and talk to Zhang Youtao like before, but he heard other married guards in the palace say that women like gentle men and don't like men with rude manners, so he forced himself to behave as much as possible to be particularly elegant, who knew that Zhang Youtao was ruthlessly exposed!

To be honest, Zhang Youtao couldn't help but smile when he looked at him, although Feng Yi had worked hard to change his image, but human temperament was the result of perennial accumulation, how could it be changed in a day or two!

Feng Yi is a big old man - he insists on taking the intellectual and elegant route, just like a monkey learning to bow and salute like a human, how funny and funny it is!

"Miss Peach, it's a time of national mourning, it's inappropriate for you to laugh like this!" Feng Yi clasped his hands and looked at Zhang Youtao and said.

"Oh, you reminded me that I should have asked the Queen Mother to say goodbye to the Queen Mother when I just returned to the palace!" Zhang Youtao patted her head and said.

"Yucui, you accompany me to see the Queen Mother, Yinhuan, you stay and help me clean up the bed, if there is any work that can't be done, let Feng Yi's guards help you do it!"

After Zhang Youtao finished speaking, she gave Feng Yi a look, and walked towards the Empress Dowager Palace with Yucui.

After so many things, it came to spring in a blink of an eye, due to the geographical location of the capital is not very cold in winter, once it is spring, other places are still warm and cold, the flowers here are extraordinarily luxuriant, the leaves are also green, just because the national mourning has not passed, so the flowers in the palace are only white, even the trees are hung with white cloth, this atmosphere is particularly weird, but also reminds all the people in the palace to be cautious in their words and deeds, must manage their emotions, and must not show a little happy atmosphere!

The Great Abyss Kingdom stipulates that when a noble imperial prince dies, the mourning period is one hundred days. That is to say, the mourning period of the queen and the eldest prince took 200 days, and later, considering that the 200-day mourning period was too long, it became 130 days, and during this mourning period, all the weddings and birthday banquets of the princes, nobles and common people, as well as the 100 days of the full moon, must be stopped.

Zhang Youtao was adjusting her emotions while walking, so that she should not be too happy or too sad, it was best to be calm and a little sad, and soon came to the palace of the Queen Mother!

The Queen Mother was lying on the bed in the palace, bored, when she heard her mother come to report that Zhang Youtao had come to see her, and she suddenly came to her senses!

"Pass her in"

The Queen Mother sat up from the bed as she spoke, she originally wanted to thin her somewhat disheveled hair, but after thinking about it, she gave up, and let her loose hair be scattered, and only let the maid take a coat and drape it over herself, making herself look very haggard.

"The courtier Zhang Youtao visited the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is a thousand years old!" After Zhang Youtao came in, she and Yucui saluted the Queen Mother.

"That's it, get up quickly, the mourning family hasn't seen you for a while, hurry up!" The Queen Mother tried her best to make herself more loving.

Zhang Youtao got up and sat on the chair at the instruction of the Queen Mother, and Mama quickly brought the tea!

"Girl, I heard that your sister-in-law gave birth to a fat son, right?" the Queen Mother looked at Zhang Youtao and asked.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the courtier's sister-in-law did give birth to a son, the mother and son are safe, considering that it is now the national funeral, so the full moon and the hundred days have been canceled, just to inform relatives and friends!" Zhang Youtao replied cautiously.

The Queen Mother wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief as she spoke, and said: "Alas, if it weren't for the foolish things done by the queen and the eldest prince, mother and son, and the eldest grandson of the servant of the ministry, the mourning family would have to send some congratulatory gifts to Lord Wang to celebrate!" ”

Zhang Youtao looked at the Queen Mother's movements and was vigilant in her heart, although this old lady tried her best to show grief on her face, but there was not a single tear in the corner of her eyes, as if she was trying her best to hide something!

"Queen Mother, please mourn, there is such a big thing in the palace, my parents can also understand the distress of the Queen Mother and the emperor, it is just a child spending a full moon and a hundred days, and it is not a big deal compared to national events. The queen and the prince are also confused for a while, you and the emperor have done their best to their mother and son, there are no regrets, don't be too sad! Zhang Youtao tried her best to make herself look tactful and said heartache.

"By the way, do you know about the rejection of the mourning family and the emperor's title of concubine as the imperial concubine?" The Queen Mother suddenly changed her words, almost catching Zhang Youtao off guard.

"When the courtiers returned to the palace, they heard what the guards in the palace of the Six Emperors said!" Zhang Youtao hurriedly replied.

"Then can you tell the mourning family why Concubine Ru refused to be crowned the imperial concubine? Don't say that the concubine is humble and dare not accept it, the women in the palace usually behave very humblely, but when it comes to promotion, they are very positive, who doesn't want to get the most honorable position in the palace! ”

The Queen Mother's words crushed Zhang Youtao's idea of being sloppy, and she couldn't help but make Zhang Youtao feel a headache!

She settled down and thought for a while before she spoke: "If the Queen Mother wants to hear the truth, she has to reward me with a gold medal for avoiding death, otherwise I will provoke you and the emperor Long Yan to be angry, and I am afraid that my life will not be guaranteed!" ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it, the mourning family forgives you for your innocence!" The Queen Mother's phoenix eyes sank and said.

"Queen Mother, I have known the Sixth Prince for a long time, so I know a lot about his upbringing. He once told me that when he was heavily poisoned and his appearance was ruined, the emperor was very cold to him and Concubine Ru, and even rumors circulated in the palace that he was not the emperor's bloodline, although you are the queen mother, you should also understand that a woman who was pregnant for ten months worked hard to give birth to a child for a man, but was treated so unfairly, how cold she should be, and the six princes were also looked at differently by the people in the palace, how sad he was! ”

"Once, on the birthday of the Queen Mother, the six princes carefully prepared gifts to congratulate you on your birthday, but I didn't expect that before I arrived at you, the emperor sent a holy decree to let Concubine Ru and the six princes not come over, and the birthday gift can be sent by others, and the six princes who were full of joy in new clothes heard the news and hugged and cried with Concubine Ru, and did not eat for a whole day; There was another time when the six princes and the emperor won the eldest prince in a contest, and the eldest prince was annoyed and angry, saying that even if the six princes were both civil and military and talented, it was useless, and he was just the prince whom the emperor hated the most; Another time, if the concubine was sick, she wanted to ask the imperial doctor but no one paid attention to it, saying that the concubine was just an old problem, and she gave some medicine and didn't care about anything, and the sixth prince, who was only ten years old at the time, was crying in pain while boiling medicine for her mother with the help of her personal grandmother......"

"Something like this, the genus experienced by the six princes and the concubine Niangniang from childhood to adulthood is also unclear, the sixth prince is nineteen years old this year, and his and Concubine Ru's hearts have been cold for nineteen years, and a person with a cold heart naturally doesn't care about the reward of the emperor and the queen mother!"

Zhang Youtao finished all the words in her heart with tears in her eyes, and then she knelt on the ground and said: "The courtier's words made the Queen Mother angry, please forgive the Queen Mother!" ”

The Queen Mother was stunned when she heard Zhang Youtao's words, she also knew that the emperor was a little mean to Concubine Ru and the Six Princes, but she didn't expect that Concubine Ru and the Six Princes had suffered so much pain and grievances, and they were silent for a while!

Zhang Youtao finished speaking, her head was low and she fell to the ground for a long time without moving, and after a while, she heard the Queen Mother say faintly: "You get up quickly, I finally heard a person who dared to tell the truth to the mourning family, if I blame you, I'm afraid I won't even be able to hear a word of truth in the future!" Zhang Youtao slowly got up from the ground.

"The mourning family didn't expect that Concubine Ru and the six princes had suffered so many grievances, this matter is the fault of the emperor and the fault of the mourning family, you are right, their cold hearts are not something that can be made up for by rewarding an imperial concubine!" The Queen Mother looked ahead with empty eyes and said.

"Queen Mother, the courtiers heard that the emperor has been in poor health, can the courtiers have some medical skills for the emperor to see how to make the emperor recover as soon as possible?" Zhang Youtao said with a thought in his mind.

"The mourning family should also ask the emperor's opinion on this matter, you have been busy for a day, go back and rest first!" The queen waved her hand expressionlessly and said.

"Yes, the courtiers are leaving!"

Zhang Youtao bowed and saluted, and then hurriedly withdrew from the queen mother's palace with Yucui!

As soon as she walked out of the palace, she saw the six princes hurrying over.
