Following. Early morning.

Empress Dowager Shen, who had been sitting on Shen Shen's bed board all night, looked extremely haggard.

But Shen Shen still didn't wake up.

There was a small sound of talking outside, followed by Shiinu pushing the door in.

"Queen Mother, the Chen family came with those two people...... Why don't I tell them to go back first? "Shi Nu really didn't want this Empress Dowager Shen to appear in front of Concubine Chen. Because it looks too much like a last resort.

But Empress Dowager Shen was silent for a long time, stood up, and looked up at Shinu: "Let them wait outside and make up for me." ”

Youxin stepped forward to help, waited for Empress Dowager Shen to finish washing, looked at the big mirror in front of him, and asked carefully: "Comb your hair in a high bun or a peony bun?" ”

"No, comb the bun, otherwise, how can you wear a phoenix crown?" Empress Dowager Shen sat upright, exuding a faint chill all over her body.

The Empress Dowager Shen, who slowly paced out from the side hall holding the hand of the slave, was dressed in a regular dress embroidered with a nine-tailed golden phoenix, a magnificent golden crown, and a tiredness that was basically not concealed.

According to the old convention, Concubine Chen, who was dressed in purple and red, was very surprised.

Since the death of Emperor Xianxiang and Emperor, in addition to the administration of the previous dynasty, this is the first time I have seen Empress Dowager Shen dressed so grandly!

Concubine Chen hurriedly turned around and pointed at the poor Yu Fei Yu Juan: "Why don't you give a salute to the Queen Mother?" ”

"Queen Mother Wan'an." The two men respectfully bent their knees and squatted down.

Empress Dowager Shen first looked at the face she had seen, and smiled lightly: "Xiao Yu's family is much thinner than the last time I saw him." ”

looked at Yu Fei again, but applauded: "This big Yu family is a good skin!" It's no wonder that we used to see that we were not pleasing to the eye, and it was common for us to be jealous of beauties. ”

Then he kindly ordered them to get up, gave them a seat, and came to talk to Concubine Chen again.

"Yesterday you left Lizhu and fell ill. Her senior brother came to show her, saying that the previous incident had accumulated a lot of discomfort, and she was relieved and had a seizure. Just get some sleep. No, I haven't woken up yet. ”

He was very kind.

Yu Juan and Yu Fei looked at each other in surprise, and both lowered their heads again.

Empress Dowager Shen glanced at them, pretended not to see them, and said to Concubine Chen like a homely person: "Last time, you said that the medicinal materials that Shang Pharmacy dispensed for you were not good, and the mourning family had already asked. There were many places that were affected last year, and the medicine was not very good.

"You sold so many prescriptions before, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one outside quietly went to intercept the medicine. It's no wonder that others are here! ”

smiled and nodded at her again: "The first emperor gave you so many private rooms, and you are still so greedy for money, I really don't know how much suffering you suffered in Nanyue back then!" ”

Concubine Chen opened her mouth and looked at the Empress Dowager Shen like a monster, and it took a while to react, and she laughed and said, "Which play is the Empress Dowager going to play today?" The concubine's back is cold! It's better that you're rushing at the concubine like you used to! ”

"Not out there! You have never been wronged, in the past in front of so many outsiders, you can't make people feel that the emperor favored his concubine and killed his wife. But when are we ourselves, when can the mourning family talk about you? Really! ”

Empress Dowager Shen glanced at the Yu sisters, made a sudden smile again, and quipped, "These two are both transparent people, and they have made great contributions, and they are ice and snow smart." Do you still want your sisters to believe that this old woman can't do it against the emperor every day!? ”

At this moment, the people in the whole hall finally understood what the Empress Dowager Shen wanted to do, and they all showed interesting expressions to the Yu sisters, but when they looked at Concubine Chen, they were all kinds of funny.

"You! Immature! Empress Dowager Shen pointed at Concubine Chen with disgust, and then turned to Yu Juan and Yu Fei affectionately: "The mourning family originally wanted to discuss with the emperor and empress and find a few good relatives for you sisters." After all, there are still Xiaolang of the same age in the clan.

"But since your concubine is so zealous and snatches both of you out of her palace in one go, then the mourning family will not have much trouble.

"Just live in peace and hide cleanly. If you have anything to say, tell the concubine that she doesn't follow, just wait for the next time to come back to me and tell me. Good or bad, the weight of my speech in front of the emperor and empress, she is still three points behind. ”

Saying that, Empress Dowager Shen laughed smugly like an ordinary tsundere old lady.

Yu Juan frowned, didn't dare to look up, just looked at the ground, and replied softly and shyly, "yes".

But Yu Fei boldly knelt up straight, looked at the Empress Dowager Shen, and said, "The people want to ask the Empress Dowager for something!" ”

Concubine Chen and Yu Juan were both stunned, and two pairs of sharp eyes glared at her fiercely!

"Sister, don't be rude......" Yu Juan didn't even care about pretending to be low-key anymore, and grabbed Yu Fei's sleeve.

Empress Dowager Shen looked at Yu Fei with a smile and nodded again and again: "That's right!" Say, leave them alone, say, speak! As long as the mourning family can do it! You say you say it! ”

"Good sister, I know this has always been your wish, but you are afraid of the fourth sister, you dare not say it! Now that the Queen Mother is so good, with her old man presiding over justice, what else are you afraid of? ”

Yu Fei broke free of Yu Fei's hand vigorously, looked up at the Empress Dowager Shen, and stubbornly reddened her eyes: "The mother-in-law of the people's daughter has passed away for three years. Because the two rooms in the family got along a little badly, the fourth sister ...... No, the lord of Lizhu County has a lot of grudge against his late mother.

"Now that my father has been promoted to squire, according to the rules of the imperial court, my mother can be posthumously sealed. But because of the scruples of the county lord, no one in the family dared to mention half a word about this matter. When the folk girl is at home, she often sees her sister missing her mother and crying pitifully.

"Now that the folk girl wants to ask the queen mother to be the master, can she persuade the county lord. People die like lights go out, don't care about the quarrels and grievances of those elders a long time ago. The second uncle has a knighthood, but he didn't ask the second aunt for a title, that's his business. Our father has a grade, but he does not dare to forget his deceased wife. Ask the Queen Mother to reward her mother for this dignity! ”

As he spoke, he fell to his knees and choked up and cried.

Concubine Chen raised her eyebrows, and if she wanted to stop it, she swallowed it back, leaned back into her chair, looked at Empress Dowager Shen with a smile, and said, "This matter, the concubine is really incapable of doing it, and the Empress Dowager must take action!" ”

Yu Juan also raised her head, looked at Empress Dowager Shen cautiously, and carefully observed her attitude.

But seeing Empress Dowager Shen laughing, shaking her head and sighing, she pointed at Yu Fei: "Silly girl!" What do you care about other people's things like this? Directly ask your father to play the fold and ask for the seal, and the Ministry of Rites will check it, and it will be approved!

"You need to take it seriously! You said it, and you still talked about it, didn't you make it difficult for the mourning family? The mourning family asked Lizhu, if she agreed on the spot, it would seem that you are stingy; If she doesn't agree, will the mourning family have to spit out and admonish her?

"She's sick! Or to save my son from illness. How can you make my child's mother open your mouth! ”

As he spoke, he pointed at Yu Fei affectionately with disgust: "What a silly child with solid eyes!" ”

Then his face was flat, "The mourning family didn't hear it, I don't know anything!" ”

Yu Fei blushed embarrassedly, but laughed happily and proudly.

Yu Juan looked at Empress Dowager Shen and then at Concubine Chen, her eyes full of doubts.
