The Queen Mother laughed for a while, then calmed down, and said as if she didn't care: "Concubine Hua, pour a cup of tea for the emperor, I've been here for so long, and I don't know how to wait?" ”

Concubine Hua only said yes on her face, and she was actually happy in her heart, the Queen Mother was really her own aunt, and she could see the emperor like this.

Although the emperor stayed in his palace last time due to the arrangement of the queen mother, but early the next morning, he was warned by the emperor openly and secretly, he knew that he was looking for the queen mother, and he didn't like her like this, so he didn't dare to say anything in front of the queen mother.

But since that day, the emperor still hasn't come to Zhongcui Palace again, and he never thought that the queen mother would let her see the emperor again by such means today.

And since she didn't take the initiative to put it forward, the emperor couldn't blame her anyway, so she was naturally very happy.

Concubine Hua took the tea cup in the hands of the palace maid, moved lightly, walked in front of the emperor, and saluted the tea.

However, the emperor didn't even look at her, silently took the teacup, took a sip, and said, "It's better to have tea in the Queen Mother's palace." ”

"There is no good tea in the mourning family, but the child Concubine Hua is filial, and when she gets a good one, she wants to send it to the mourning family." The queen mother saw the situation between the two, and her heart was not good, and the emperor was afraid that because Concubine Hua begged for her last time, she didn't like it in her heart, and deliberately colded her.

"This rain before the Longjing, the mourning family is not used to drinking, afraid of trampling good things, today the main master is also there, the mourning family borrowed flowers to offer the Buddha, to the emperor, Concubine Hua can agree?"

"Since the concubine was given to the Queen Mother, it is naturally the Queen Mother's things, and the Queen Mother is in charge." Concubine Hua glanced at the emperor shyly and timidly, and said obediently.

The Queen Mother knew in her heart, and Concubine Hua knew even more in her heart that this tea was not given to the Queen Mother by herself at all, and the Queen Mother said this just to save her image in the emperor's heart and enhance her favorability.

The Queen Mother lowered her chin and motioned to Mama Li to take out the tea in the room, and when Mama Li came back, everyone saw that there were two large porcelain jars on the tray in Mama Li's hand.

"Concubine Hua has a heart." The emperor finally raised his eyes to look at Concubine Hua and praised him.

Concubine Hua was just about to reply shyly, when the queen's voice came from her side.

"But no, Concubine Hua's sister's filial piety is really rare, and there are some pre-rain Longjing in the concubine's palace, or the concubine's father was commissioned by the emperor to go to Jiangnan to handle the case a few years ago, and it was finally obtained with a lot of money, but it was just an iron box of square inch size, and it was specially sent to the palace for the concubine."

As the queen spoke, the silk handkerchief covered her mouth and smiled, as if she was embarrassed, and then continued: "Sister Hua Fei actually shot two large urns, so rare, filial piety can be seen, and it is not comparable to gold and silver. ”

Concubine Hua's face changed, and she looked at the emperor nervously, and sure enough, the emperor listened to the queen's words, his face was gloomy, his eyes were dull, and he closed the lid of the cup in his hand fiercely, and the tea cup was also placed on the low table.

Everyone knows that this rain before the dragon well is extremely rare, in previous years, the climate in the south of the Yangtze River is not good this year, the annual tribute has not been a Weng.

The queen knew that the emperor liked to drink, and learned that her father was sent to Jiangnan on a business trip, so she specially told her to get some anyway, so she got such a box and it was like a treasure, just waiting for the emperor to come and make it for him.

Because of the small number, the emperor has often gone to Kunning Palace recently, and the iron box has already bottomed out.

For this reason, the queen blamed herself in front of the emperor for a while, and only gave up after being appeased by the emperor, and the emperor stayed overnight that night, so the queen was still very happy to have such a thing.

Now seeing Concubine Hua proud, how can she not strike a blow to vent her resentment.

But what the queen said is also the truth, it is difficult to find one or two Longjing before the rain, and the two urns in front of her are not only countless gold and silver, but also the relationship is worth pondering.

"Concubine Hua, where does this tea come from, how did it come from, explain it to me 1510!" The emperor asked sharply.

Concubine Hua fell to her knees with a thud, her helpless eyes frequently looked at the Queen Mother, and she secretly hated in her heart, she didn't eat the fish, but she got into a fishy situation, embezzled and took bribes, and formed a party for personal gain, but it was a big crime, and the emperor, who has always advocated honesty and integrity, will never tolerate it!

The queen mother looked at it, it's bad, this is not a disservice, the gloomy eyes glanced at the queen and then retracted, and said in a serious voice: "Okay, don't worry, the emperor, this tea was not given to the mourning family by Concubine Hua at all, it was Prince Kang's filial piety to the mourning family, but satisfied!" ”

"The Queen Mother doesn't have to bear this matter in order to protect Concubine Hua." The emperor opened his mouth quietly, and anyone could hear the anger in his tone.

"If it's true, even if it's a mother's family, the mourning family will definitely not cover it!" The Queen Mother said righteously against her will, "If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can recruit Prince Kang into the palace now, and he will know as soon as he asks." ”

Prince Kang is the only surviving brother of the former emperor, the emperor's own uncle, and the queen mother can move out of him, so she is naturally not afraid of the emperor's inquiry.

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, the entire hall was silent, and Concubine Hua was even careful to breathe.

"Since it is Uncle Wang who honors the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother should keep it for herself, I still have something to do, so I won't stay more!" The emperor was silent for a long time, tried his best to calm the anger in his heart, and after speaking, he brushed his sleeves and strode away without looking back.

The queen got up slowly, "Queen Mother, the little prince should be hungry, and he has to sleep for a while after dinner, and the concubines have also taken their leave." ”

took Feng Jingyuan in the arms of the Queen Mother, and bowed and retired.

The Queen Mother looked at the irrepressible smile on the corner of the queen's mouth with pity, and snorted coldly, "The junior of the Mu Yan family, hmph, the ability is not small. ”

said to Concubine Hua, who was still kneeling on the ground: "Get up quickly, it's cold on the ground, take care of your body, do you still want to have children?" ”

Although Concubine Hua complained in her heart that the queen mother was nosy, and she made the emperor disgusted, she was still aggrieved on her face, with tears in the corners of her eyes, "Seeing the emperor like this, I'm afraid that he hates me very much, where will there be children." ”

After all, it was his own niece, and she was still very distressed when she cried cowardly, so she beckoned and asked Concubine Hua to come to her and pat her hand to comfort her.

"It's annoying and annoying, you don't have to go to your heart, tomorrow the mourning family will ask the queen to come over with Jingyuan, you come as usual, and it's over once or twice."

The queen mother knew that the emperor would not really rush against her, after all, she was still the queen mother, even if the emperor was not sincere and filial, he would not dare to easily disobey her for the sake of the reputation of virtue.

Concubine Hua wept silently and nodded.

The queen mother really still asked the queen to carry Feng Jingyuan to Shou'an Palace every day, although the emperor was unwilling, he still came over occasionally.

The emperor can't, and the queen naturally can't refuse, and the concubines who didn't fall to Kunning Palace every day didn't dare to go to the Queen Mother's Shou'an Palace to disturb them.

I knew that the result of getting rid of those warblers and Yanyan was to sit in the Queen Mother's palace every day, watching the Queen Mother, Concubine Hua and Concubine Hua took turns to stage Huangmei Opera in front of the emperor, it was better to stay in the palace to deal with the concubines and concubines, fortunately, in that case, she was the master of the palace, unlike now, she could only watch coldly.

Another day, the emperor really couldn't stand Concubine Hua's eagerness, and got out under the pretext of political affairs.

Thinking that he was troubled by the frontier some time ago, but now that he was free, he dismissed the guard of honor, and even Xue Gui did not call him to follow, and walked alone on the palace road, casually distracting.

I don't know where to go, and I'm even more afraid that I will meet other concubines on the road, and then I will be entangled, so I picked a remote and secluded road to walk, thinking that if Yu Qing is still in the palace, he can go over to Da Ke, watching Yu Qing frolicking, he is also comfortable.

Thinking about it, I found myself walking to a very remote palace, and I remembered that I had never been here.

In the distance, there seemed to be someone at the gate of the palace, and the emperor was curious that there was such a place in the harem, and he didn't know it, so he walked over.

Approaching, looking up, the door plaque is written, the Changcang Palace.

When the visitor saw that it was the emperor, he panicked and knelt down to ask for peace: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”

"Who lives in this palace? Why are you guarding here? Who sent you to guard here? The emperor was full of questions, and threw a series of them on the little eunuch's head.

The little eunuch trembled, his brain was spinning rapidly, thinking of how to deal with it, the two of them were the henchmen of the Queen Mother, if the matter of Concubine Shen being locked up here was exposed, then the Queen Mother and they were afraid that they would not be able to escape death.

Although he was flustered, he was still shrewd, and he was in a hurry, and said: "Back to the emperor, there is an old lady who used to serve the queen mother, and the family got the plague and died overnight. ”

"That's the case, why don't you find a quiet place outside the palace to keep it, and you must stay in the palace." The emperor wondered.

"It's not clear to find a slave, I'm afraid that the queen mother is kind-hearted, I'm afraid that the whip outside the palace will not be able to take care of it, or the slave will go back to the queen mother and help the emperor ask."

The lie is made up, and the back is so round, a crazy grandmother, the emperor will not be interested in watching it, and the emperor will not really let him trouble the queen mother for this kind of thing.

"No need, I just asked casually, I don't need to tell the Queen Mother about this, can you remember?" The emperor's voice warned majestically.

"Slaves obey!" The two kowtowed together and sent the emperor away.

Looking at the emperor's figure walking away, I was relieved that my life was saved.

At this time, across the door, Concubine Shen was lying on the door, sobbing and crying sadly and desolately, her son was just outside the door, but she couldn't call him out loud, and she couldn't let him know that he was still alive......

Just when the emperor arrived at the Changcang Palace, the greeting voices of the two little eunuchs had already reached the ears of Concubine Shen in the palace.

"Your Majesty? Emperor! Concubine Shen muttered to herself.

Concubine Shen was first puzzled, and then surprised, could it be that Yu Qing finally told the emperor that he was imprisoned here, and he specially came to pick him up?

Surprised and ran to the door, wanting to shout, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong.

If Yu Qing told the emperor that she had been out of the palace for more than seven days, it would be impossible for the emperor to come to pick her up now, could it be that she came here by mistake?

There is only one possibility, Concubine Shen wants to see her son, but remembering the warning of the Queen Mother, she can only cover her mouth, lie on the door panel, listen to the outside talk, and try to look out from the gap between the doors, only to see a bright yellow piece, it is a dragon robe!

Sure enough, it's the emperor!

Concubine Shen couldn't suppress her thoughts, but she could only stare at the corner of her clothes and cry, and when the emperor walked away, she was seeing his whole person, although there was only one back, she was already very satisfied.
