Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Queen Mother's Thoughts

"Very good, Lu Xiang, you go to Xinzheku and do something for the palace, and if you do it, you can take Cui'er's place."

After Concubine Ning said these words to Lu Xiang, Lu Xiang's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly walked over.

After Concubine Ning said a few more words in Lu Xiang's ear, Lu Xiang was ordered to retreat.

At ten o'clock in the night, the cool breeze outside blew and accidentally blew into Concubine Ning's bedroom, Concubine Ning sat on the beauty couch, covered with a thin blanket around her waist, and her expression was obscure.

At the same time, inside the Cining Palace.

As soon as the Queen Mother had dinner, she waved away the unrelated palace maids, and Mama Chen stepped forward carefully, bowed her head and said respectfully: "What does the Queen Mother command?" ”

The Queen Mother's eyes flashed slightly, and she asked, "The mourning family asked you, have you really been by Concubine Chen's side for the past three days, never leaving an inch?" ”

Mama Chen said: "Back to the Queen Mother, Concubine Chen has taken the slave and maid everywhere in the past few days, and the slave and maid really didn't expect that she would secretly send someone to investigate, according to the slave and maid's observation, this time the incident was directed and acted by Concubine Ning herself." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she sneered: "Hmph, this Concubine Chen is a capable person, you can find a scapegoat under your nose to overturn the case, Concubine Ning is also a careless person, Concubine Hua is too flamboyant, the queen...... Even the mourning family can't see how much she has a plan, and in the harem of the son of the mourning family, he marries some fuel-efficient lamps! ”

After Mama Chen was silent for a while, she asked tentatively: "Then Niangniang still wants to go back to the ancient temple and burn incense to worship the Buddha?" ”

In the past, when I was with the old man Jin, I also fought with the old general, so the queen mother was quite prestigious in the previous dynasty, and because of the jealousy of the previous emperor, she had to leave the imperial city and live in the ancient temple.

This stay is many years.

When the Queen Mother heard this, her slightly old but dignified face showed a smile of unknown meaning: "What are you doing when you go back?" It's also good to stay in the harem of the Qing Dynasty in these emperors, and you must first settle inside if you go outside! ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother had such determination, Mama Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "The Queen Mother is wise! ”

Immediately, as if she had thought of something, Mama Chen couldn't help asking: "Then the Queen Mother, the child in Concubine Ning's womb, can you still take care of it?" ”

At the mention of Concubine Ning, the Queen Mother couldn't help but rub her eyebrows: "It's really a headache for the mourning family, this Concubine Ning has an unclear relationship with Imperial Physician Li, whether the fetus in the womb is the emperor's is a matter of two words, and it is up to fate!" ”

When I saw the Queen Mother's expression on Cining Palace today, Mama Chen felt that this matter was not trivial, but she didn't expect the Queen Mother to let Concubine Ning go, so that she and the child in her womb were left to fate.

The Queen Mother can't tolerate a little sand in her eyes, and she attaches great importance to the dragon heir, and now the relationship between Concubine Ning's children and His Majesty is not clear, and the Queen Mother did not do it herself, which is already a great favor to Concubine Ning!

It's just that after the Queen Mother finished speaking, she couldn't help but move her eyes slightly, and said: "After all, Concubine Ning is the daughter of Wen Quanwu, and she can't be offended, Concubine Chen's punishment of Concubine Ning's people during the day is just right, which makes the mourning family breathe a sigh of relief." ”

When Mama Chen heard this, she smiled: "Okay, Queen Mother, you should also rest, otherwise you will have a headache again." ”

The Queen Mother and Mama Chen have been the master and servant for many years, and their friendship is extraordinary.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother only waved her hand and sat back on the bed with a wry smile: "Oh, this old problem of the mourning family is also the root of the disease that fell when following the old man in the war, and if you want to cure it, the mourning family is still a little reluctant!" ”

Mama Chen smiled and tucked the corners of the quilt for the Queen Mother: "Then the slave maid go and tidy up your bags, and by the way, tell Your Majesty that you have rested in the palace." ”

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Well, let's go." ”

Mama Chen turned around and left Cining Palace.

In the dark night, two people whose faces could not be seen clearly met at the corner of Cining Palace.

A middle-aged woman said in a low voice: "This is the Queen Mother's original words, after showing it to the mother, it must be destroyed in time!" ”

"The slave knows that Mama has a heart!"

After the palace maid thanked her, she took the news and left.

E, elegant palace.

"Haha, Sister Gardenia drinks so badly, and she still boasts of being a Jiangnan person!"

Xiaoxia's cheeks were red, and she was holding a wine jug in one hand and laughing at Gardenia in the other.

Next to them, Late Winter, Wenchun, and Zhiqiu looked at each other and smiled, and the female official Yuange also relaxed her expression, and couldn't help but devote herself to the happiness of the dinner.

When Gardenia heard this, she glared at Xiaoxia: "You are talking nonsense, I ...... I have been with my mother since I was a child, and I grew up in Shudi, when did I say that I was born in Jiangnan? ”

Gardenia said, burping and blushing a little.

Shang Kelan sat on the front of the Eight Immortals Table, holding a pair of chopsticks and assorted chicken shreds in her hand, looking at these palace maids with a smile on her face, looking at a happy scene.

"Wow"

Suddenly, the bead curtain was lifted from the outside, and the jade beads collided together, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

As soon as he entered, Jin Yantang saw Shang Kelan smiling and drinking with these palace maids, her face was peachy, and her eyes were stained with a thick layer of drunkenness.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and they didn't seem to notice Jin Yantang's arrival at all.

Seeing this, Fu Pu, who was following behind Jin Yantang, changed his face, and hurriedly stepped forward and pointed at them and said, "Bold! Your Majesty is here, and you must not be rude to the palace maids! ”

Xiaoxia was a bold person, drunk, and people didn't know anything, so she turned her head and said, "Hehe, Your Majesty? Who is it? Hiccup......"

Yuan Ge's expression was tight, and he hurriedly pulled Xiaoxia to kneel and bowed: "Slave and maid see Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed with Jin'an!" ”

Seeing this, the three of Late Winter, Zhiqiu, and Wenchun woke up like a dream, each of them looked panicked, and hurriedly knelt down for Jin Yantang and said, "Slave and maid see Your Majesty!" ”

Gardenia was overjoyed, and hurriedly said to Shang Kelan: "Niangniang, Your Majesty has come to see you!" ”

Shang Kelan looked in the direction pointed by Gardenia in a daze, and really saw a tall figure standing there, looking at that appearance, it was seven or eight points similar to Jin Yantang.

Suddenly, Shang Kelan smiled, put down her chopsticks, walked a few steps towards the man with vague steps, and then curtsied and said, "Concubine...... Concubines see Your Majesty! ”

Shang Kelan has always been cunning, but she rarely looks drunk.

Jin Yantang's brows furrowed slightly, and on the side, Fupu's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly waved his hand to Gardenia, Yuan Ge and the others. 、

Suddenly, all the palace maids understood, and they all retreated with Fupu, and when they left, Fupu also closed the door.

Although Gardenia is drunk, she also thinks about her mother.

After reluctantly peeking into the door, she took off a silver hairpin on her head and handed it to Fu Pudao: "Manager Fu, dare to ask Your Majesty how he came to Xianya Palace today?" Is it because I miss my mother? ”

As she spoke, there was a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

Fupu returned the silver hairpin to Gardenia, and said with a smile: "Naturally, it's because Your Majesty misses Niangniang, of course, it's also because when you turn over the green card, Your Majesty accidentally turned over the Niangniang's brand." ”

In the past few days, Fupu has not done anything to the green head card, so His Majesty really turned to the brand of Concubine Chen.

Hearing this, Gardenia's face smiled even more, and she handed the silver hairpin to Fu Pu and said, "Manager Fu is still a subordinate, a little caution is not a respect." ”

Fupu's eyes showed satisfaction, and he accepted the silver hairpin and smiled: "The girl is polite." ”
