The queen mother suppressed the anger in her heart, her face was very solemn, and Mama Liu hurriedly gave her a good breath behind her back, and said in her heart that this Nalan concubine is not a master who is easy to handle.

I don't know if it's unintentional or scheming, when I didn't say it, I mentioned this matter when the Queen Mother summoned her.

The manpower installed this time is gone, and the new manpower is still asked to be handed over to Concubine Nalan to deal with, how can you not be angry!

After Nalan Lan'er finished speaking, the surroundings were quiet, no one dared to speak, and the expensive decorations that were originally enviable in Cining Palace had lost their aura, and a large piece of dead air was condensed in the sky.

The Queen Mother signaled for a long time that Mama Liu didn't have to pat her, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea and said, "It's good to say that, but the mourning family blames you?" ”

When Nalan Lan'er got the answer, she seemed to be very frightened and hurriedly said, "The queen mother tortured the concubines, and it was the concubine's fault that she didn't do her job well, and the concubines were willing to accept the punishment." ”

Hmph, this hoof speaks nicely, saying that he is willing to accept punishment, and he doesn't know how to be proud in his heart! On this joint bone, Nalan Lan'er said it so clearly, she also punished her, and designated that she would end up with a harsh word. And the emperor will also be quite dissatisfied with this matter.

Looking at the person standing in front of her with some disgust, the Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "Since you know that you haven't done a good job." Just work hard to improve, and you must select excellent show girls within these two days, otherwise no matter how much you say, you can't hide the fact that you are a dignified concubine and have such a low ability to do things. You go down, the mourners want to be quiet. ”

Nalan Lan'er didn't care about the grievances, and saluted again: "The queen mother takes good care of herself, and the concubines will obey the decree and retire." ”

She took three steps backwards and turned to leave, and only after walking out of the gate of Cining Palace was not far away, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She could feel the Queen Mother's gaze staring at her all the time, but unfortunately she couldn't turn back, otherwise she didn't know how vicious this gaze was, and wanted to kill her? It is better to see that the queen mother does not care about her father-in-law and brother-in-law.

Even if the Queen Mother could find a scapegoat to kill her, she didn't think that after she died, it would be easy to get the matter done, and besides, it was not so easy to poison or anything, and the assassin was not very feasible, not to mention that the palace was heavily guarded, and besides, there seemed to be people around her who protected her.

Nalan Lan'er didn't know that the queen mother's real purpose, what she considered was indeed only part of it, but more importantly, she wanted to find the people who helped her through Nalan Lan'er, if no one helped Nalan Lan'er, how could she escape from the palace as a weak woman back then!

In addition, Nalan Yuan's eldest son has not been found outside all the time, that is, it is possible that Nalan Yanran's brother is not dead, and he is arranging these things behind his back!

This is a piece of the queen mother's heart, these crises are not something that the emperor can know.

After walking away from Cining Palace, Wan'er patted her heart and said, "Niangniang, this time fortunately, there is no danger, Wan'er still thinks that the Queen Mother is going to do something to Niangniang." ”

Nalan Lan'er squinted her eyes, and suddenly said a little lazy: "This palace has not done anything wrong, why should I be afraid that the queen mother will be unfavorable to this palace in front of so many people." ”

Cai Lian's taught nodded on the side, and said by the way: "Niangniang, the slave feels that this Cining Palace is cold and lifeless. It's depressing to stay. ”

Nalan Lan'er didn't smile. "Maybe the Queen Mother just likes this layout."

However, the flowers placed in the hall made Nalan Lan'er care a little, and the fragrance was a little pungent.

After Nalan Lan'er left, the Queen Mother watched Gonggong An come in and kneel in front of her.

She said coldly: "It's good that you are an father-in-law, you didn't notify your love family of such a major matter!" Do you think your head has been around your neck for too long? ”

When Gonggong An was listening outside the door, he felt that this thing was right, why didn't anyone report to him when the eldest prince changed his slaves?

But the most important thing at the moment is to appease the Queen Mother and then find a way to investigate. He hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, this is all the fault of the slaves, it is the slaves' poor supervision, but when the eldest prince travels, he still takes the former palace maid slaves with him." Moreover, there is no news that the palace maid will be replaced, and the queen mother is asked to forgive her. ”

The Queen Mother looked at Mama Liu, and Mama Liu nodded, confirming that the eldest prince was still the original minion by his side.

It's just that this Nalan Lan'er categorically didn't dare to say such things to deceive her, how could someone who is cautious in doing things deliberately say these loopholes.

With these doubts, the Queen Mother asked Gonggong An to find out whether there was such a thing as soon as possible, and it was best if there was none.

How did they know that the emperor ordered those minions to keep silent, because they were afraid that the queen mother would worry about this matter, and they would report it together with the recent situation of the eldest prince.

When Nalan Lan'er returned to the palace, it was already close to the time for the eldest prince to return to the palace, but unexpectedly met the eldest prince who came back from school on the road, and at the same time there were two little boys who followed behind the eldest prince. The little boy turned out to be exactly the same.

One looked calm, the other looked lively, and when the eldest prince shouted to his mother, Nalan Lan'er stopped sideways and greeted the eldest prince running from a distance.

The eldest prince threw himself into Nalan Lan'er's arms regardless of his image, and then turned around and said happily: "Mother concubine, these two are Erchen's little friends, and now they are studying with Erchen." ”

Nalan Lan'er looked at the two boys carefully, both of them were half-grown children, at first glance, the facial features really couldn't tell who was who, but the expression was calm, and the other was different in temperament with a smile, the two were stunned for a while and then saluted her: "Liancheng / Lianbei see Niangniang." ”

"No courtesy, no courtesy." Nalan Lan'er took the eldest prince's hand and smiled.

Seeing that it was still a while before it got dark, Nalan Lan'er asked gently, "Where are you going?" ”

Without waiting for the boy who claimed to be Liancheng Lianbei to answer, the eldest prince preemptively said, "Mother, we got out of school early today, and the Taifu said that the three of us should play together." Erchen is taking them to the Imperial Garden, where there is a rockery! ”

"But why don't you bring a palace maid with you?" Nalan Lan'er had long noticed that there was no palace maid of the eldest prince's entourage in this visible place.

This made the eldest prince and the other two children worried, and they didn't know how to explain it, as if it was wrong.

After the three of them lowered their heads at the same time, Nalan Lan'er guessed something and said, "Don't you like those palace maids following behind?" ”

The eldest prince nodded honestly, every time he went to play something, he always couldn't play this one, that one couldn't touch, and he was annoyed when he looked at the servile palace maids who followed behind.

And it is also a child's companion, naturally tired of the slaves who followed behind him in the mansion before, since the eldest prince didn't want to take it, they hit it off, and the three of them got rid of their entourage and sneaked out.

But I happened to meet the eldest prince's mother on the road, and I was caught.

Nalan Lan'er smiled, and did not preach harshly, but gently patted the head of the eldest prince: "Lin'er, really, if your father knows about this, he will definitely not let it go easily, if he doesn't bring a few palace maids and slaves, if he falls halfway or something, who will call someone." ”

After speaking, he continued, "Forget it this time, next time you three are not allowed to come out to play, you know?" ”

The eldest prince knew that Nalan Lan'er meant to let them go, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, the retainers obey the order." ”

"It just so happens that the mother concubine is also out for a walk, Lin Erjie doesn't mind going to the imperial garden with the mother concubine? You play with you, and the mother admires her flowers in the pavilion. ”

In this way, it can be regarded as an explanation to the emperor, the emperor is still very nervous about the eldest prince, if he knows that the eldest prince is alone or comes out with two people who are also children, I am afraid that he will be a little angry, after all, the eldest prince is still young, and he is his only heir.

After the eldest prince looked at the two little friends in front of him, he nodded happily.

The group of people who met was slowly setting off again, Nalan Lan'er let the eldest prince and the two companions walk together, and the Taifu let them come out to play, probably to let them get acquainted with each other.

The eldest prince would look back at Nalan Lan'er every two steps, and when he saw his mother and the maidservants beside him slowly following behind, occasionally saying something to some flowers and plants that were blooming, he was relieved and talked with the two companions.

It's just that the topic has revolved around my mother's own person.

The eldest prince said with some pride, "Is your mother concubine the same as this prince's mother?" Pretty and gentle, right? ”

Liancheng Lianbei is twins, and the eldest prince was very strange when he saw it today, but it may be because of the children, and the eldest prince did not admit it to the two of them from the beginning.

Hearing the words of the eldest prince, the two children quietly looked back at the kind Nalan Lan'er, and then replied: "If only my mother's mother had such a good mother, it would be either the Four Books or the Five Classics all day long." I nagged a lot when I entered the palace today, right, brother? Lian Beichao said to his brother beside him.

Probably Liancheng is the life of the elder brother, although the two come out a few minutes apart, but they have never fought over who is the elder brother and who is the younger brother, Lian Bei is relatively weak, and Liancheng usually lets him.

Hearing him say this, he also nodded, his mother was indeed stricter than his father.

The eldest prince rolled his eyes, "Do you call your mother and concubine?" ”

"Yes. Ordinary people call their biological mothers their mothers. Liancheng replied.

The eldest prince nodded, and then ran: "Hurry up, the rockery inside is very big, we can play hide and seek inside." ”

As soon as he heard this, the twins all ran along, and Lian Bei ran the slowest, allowing Liancheng to hold his hand and slow down. And the eldest prince took the lead early and ran at the front. From time to time, I looked back at the little friends behind me.
