But she hadn't been happy for long, and Yao Yulan on the side suddenly said: "Sister Ren, let's go into the palace together today to meet the Queen Mother, it's really not appropriate to quarrel here, these flowers are picked, if the Queen Mother or the nobles in the palace are punished, let's bear it, no matter how much we say at the moment, it's useless, don't you say?" ”

Ren Jiaying is a few months older than Yao Xuanyuan and the others, so these two call her sister, hearing this at the moment, Ren Jiaying nodded and said: "Yes, it is useless to say more, but there will be no punishment, at most our reputation is not good, what can you do to save all this?" ”

Until this moment, Wang Yanfei didn't dare to speak anymore. These people are all thinking of a solution, if she opens her mouth again and makes others unhappy, then she will have to bear this matter herself, she doesn't want it!

Zhang Yan listened to Yao Yulan's words, but secretly said in her heart that it was a pity, how good was it for this Wang Yanfei to ruin her reputation? But she also knew that this was unrealistic, since they came together, Wang Yanfei's reputation would be ruined, and they would not be much better.

Therefore, she didn't say anything, just stood aside and listened to what Yao Yulan did about it. This little girl is very smart, and most of them didn't expect what she just said. While Zhang Yan admired her in her heart, she also had a little more vigilance.

She didn't forget that these girls, except for Ren Jiaying, were all used by the Queen Mother to choose side concubines for her husband!

Yao Yulan heard Ren Jiaying's words, and immediately said: "Sister Ren, when I was in the Queen Mother's palace just now, I saw that all the sisters took out exquisite pastries for the Queen Mother to taste, which shows that everyone's cooking skills are very good, at least they are very good at making pastries." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the daughters nodded one after another.

Yao Yulan continued: "Now these chrysanthemums are picked too much, but the Queen Mother only needs a few branches, so the excess is wasted, it is a pity, it is better to bother the sisters to do it, and make this chrysanthemum into a pastry, which can be tasted by the Queen Mother, or given to other masters in the palace to taste, the emperor eats our chrysanthemum cake, and will not blame us anymore, right?" You say don't you? ”

"This method is good!" When Ren Jiaying heard this, she immediately clapped her hands and praised it. All the daughters and ladies echoed each other: "Yes, this method is good!" ”

Wang Yanfei showed a rare smile: "Miss Ren, I blame you by mistake." I apologize to you here. As he spoke, he blessed his body.

Ren Jiaying hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and said with a smile: "Miss Wang doesn't need to say anything. We're all happy for the Queen Mother, aren't we? ”

Wang Yanfei nodded hurriedly: "Not bad!" Exactly! Thank you Miss Ren for your understanding, just now I crossed the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, Miss Ren and Miss Yao not only did not blame, but also thought of ways to solve my crisis, Yan Fei felt five guilty! ”

Her calm attitude made everyone feel more good about her.

Zhang Yan interjected on the side and said, "Then wait for the chrysanthemum cake, Miss Wang has to make more to atone for her sins." ”

These words directly put the responsibility for destroying the flowers on Wang Yanfei.

Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the daughters were different, Wang Yanfei endured and endured it again and again to not get angry, and only said in a low voice: "It's okay, everyone is affected by me, and I should do more." ”

Hearing this, Ren Jiaying immediately spoke: "Yan Fei." You don't have to blame yourself too much, everyone has a share of this pastry, and it is made for the Queen Mother and all the nobles, so what does it matter if you just make more? ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Zhang Yan was stunned, and the expression on her face was not very good-looking.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly said something to make a smile, and the expression on Zhang Yan's face looked better.

In the end, the result of the discussion was that Ren Jiaying selected the most beautiful nine of all the chrysanthemums, and the rest was ready to be taken back to make chrysanthemum cakes. Everyone had no intention of visiting the imperial garden again, and they were ready to leave, but at this moment, a palace maid suddenly ran from the cobblestone path in front of her, and when she saw the flowers in everyone's hands, the palace maid's face suddenly changed greatly.

"This is a flower planted by the queen herself! You guys, you ......"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and their faces turned pale.

Oh, my God! This is actually a flower planted by the queen's mother, and it was actually ruined by them......

Wang Yanfei in the crowd, his face was even more pale and bloodless. When the palace girl trembled angrily and couldn't speak anymore, she bent her legs, knelt down with a plop and said, "Little girl, little girl didn't know that it was the queen's flower, so she picked it." What a sin deserves death! ”

As soon as she knelt, the rest of the ladies also knelt down. Only Zhang Yan, except for Ren Jiaying.

When the palace maid saw this battle, she was immediately startled, and hurriedly took a few steps back and said: "I'm just a palace maid, if you want to kneel, then kneel to the queen!" I can't stand it! As he spoke, he hurriedly asked all the daughters to get up: "Get up quickly, explain things clearly to me first!" ”

Then the crowd got up. Wang Yanfei was too scared. was speechless, and finally Ren Jiaying opened her mouth and explained what had just happened.

When the palace maid heard that the queen mother had ordered them to pick the flowers, her face looked better, she walked over and took a look at the ravaged flowers, and said with great distress: "If you want to pick flowers, it is enough to pick one or two flowers, why do you pick them all?" This is the brainchild of the mother! I was originally scheduled to come over with the emperor this afternoon to enjoy the flowers......"

The more the crowd listened, the more frightened they became.

Oh, my God! What Yao Yulan said before has been fulfilled one by one, how can it be done now? Before they made chrysanthemums into pastries, the owner had already come to the door, what should I do?

Everyone turned their heads and looked at Yao Yulan one after another, hoping that she could think of a way to come out.

But now. handsome

Yulan was also panicked, where else could she come up with a way?

This is planted by the queen herself, if they make flowers into cakes and send them, it will be strange if she does not fall on her face!

Everyone was shocked that the six gods had no owner. And Wang Yanfei was already so frightened that he was about to be paralyzed.

In the end, Ren Jiaying spoke: "This sister, I'm sorry, we didn't mean it, where is the queen mother now, please sister take us over to make amends to the mother, we will be beaten and punished, and we will all suffer." ”

As soon as the words fell, the palace maid waved her hand and said, "That's it, I guess the mother doesn't want to see you at the moment, wait here!" I went back to my mother to see how she fell. With that, she looked no further at the crowd, and turned away swiftly from the cobblestone path from which she had come.

Everyone stood in place in disbelief, everyone had panic in their eyes, Wang Yanfei was especially even worse, she picked the most flowers, if she waited for the queen mother to ask, everyone would reveal this matter, then she wouldn't be able to eat and walk around!

Zhang Yan stood aside, glanced at her coldly and said, "Miss Wang, you really hurt everyone, you picked so many by yourself, which led to the destruction of the flowers, otherwise, we would not have to be punished at all at this moment!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their condemning eyes on Wang Yanfei. People are like this, once something happens, they always want to find a culprit, as if their guilt can be reduced. Now, that's what the daughters who are anxious to get out think so.

Wang Yanfei's face suddenly turned even paler, as if she hated Zhang Yan in her heart, this slut was always against her!

However, Zhang Yan was very excited, and when she just entered the palace, her carriage was hit and revenge was finally avenged!

Ren Jiaying looked at Wang Zhang and the others and did not speak. It is already an open secret in the capital that these two people do not deal with each other, and it can be said that they are mortal enemies, and her rash intervention will only lead to anger, at this time, it is better to remain silent.

It's just that this Zhang Yan is too unforgiving, is such a person with such a heart really suitable to be Princess Jing? Ren Jiaying was a little suspicious in her heart.

Thinking about it, she turned her head to look at Yao Yulan and Xuanyuan Huiqing on the side.

The palace maid didn't go long before she returned, and there was not much anger on her face, and when she came over, she also invited Ye Cai to all the young ladies and said: "Shicai frightened all the young ladies, this flower was planted by our mother, but since the queen mother likes it, then there is nothing wrong with you picking them all and giving them to the queen mother." Ladies, please come back! The mother will not punish you. ”

When everyone heard this, they all showed overjoyed expressions on their faces, and they all asked, "Really?" Are you sure? ”

The palace maid explained, and then turned away, and really did not punish everyone.

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

Unlike everyone's excitement, Ren Jiaying felt a little heavy in her heart, she knew why the queen didn't punish them today.

They came under the banner of picking flowers for the queen mother, even if those flowers were destroyed, the queen mother could not punish them, otherwise in the eyes of outsiders, it was a sign of disrespect for the queen mother, this matter was in front of the emperor, and it was not over, the emperor loved the queen mother so much, just a few flowers, he would definitely not seek justice for the queen, and the queen would have a reputation of disrespecting the queen mother, she would never do this.

But has the anger in the queen's heart disappeared?

No!

She didn't dare to deal with the Queen Mother openly, but the Queen would not let go of those who destroyed the flowers she carefully maintained.

It's not good to punish at the moment, but she can wait for the rumors to pass and then settle accounts with them one by one, these ladies often enter the palace, if the queen wants to rectify people, there are many methods, and they will definitely be unable to prevent it when the time comes.

Thinking of this, Ren Jiaying couldn't help but sigh secretly. She could already meet what would happen to them.

She thought that the Queen Mother was asking them to enter the palace today to relieve their boredom, but she didn't expect them to be used by the Queen Mother! Presumably, her old man has already looked at the queen unpleasantly, right?

But they became the most innocent of them all.

Ren Jiaying thought about it, turned around and glanced at Zhang Yan, and saw that she was also relieved, and she couldn't help but feel deeply choked.

This girl was obviously favored by the Queen Mother, but in today's right and wrong, the Queen Mother did not pull her out, and let her come to the imperial garden with them, which shows that this favor is also superficial.

But this girl didn't have an open mind, she didn't even guess all this, she only tried to please the Queen Mother wholeheartedly, and she didn't even know that she was sold, isn't it a pity?

That's it, she still shouldn't talk too much about other people's affairs, just control herself.

Everyone stayed there for a while, and then returned to Cining Palace with flowers.

But unexpectedly, the Queen Mother did not sit in the main hall, and Aunt Jingyue came out and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Queen Mother is a little uncomfortable, she is resting in the inner hall at the moment, and the ladies are resting here for a while!" ”

The crowd nodded.

"Where did you pick the chrysanthemums?" Jing Yue immediately asked in surprise when she saw the big golden flower that everyone was holding in their hands.

Everyone, you and I told everything that had just happened.

When Aunt Jingyue heard this, she was immediately taken aback: "You actually picked the flowers planted by the queen mother in the imperial garden!" As he spoke, he looked down at the flower again and said, "There are so many, shouldn't they all be picked?" ”

And they all bowed their heads in shame.

"That's it, the disaster has already been broken, and it's useless to say anything more." Aunt Jingyue sighed and said, "You wait here first, and I'll go in and ask the Queen Mother what she means." So saying, he got up and walked into the inner sanctum.

Everyone also guessed that they would be punished after they returned

Punishment, so no one is surprised. But the Queen Mother is sick, which no one can imagine.

Zhang Yan stood aside indifferently, while Wang Yanfei, who was domineering at the beginning, didn't have much left at the moment, standing there with his head down, his face was very pale. The rest of the daughters have different looks.

It didn't take long for Jingyue to enter and walk out of the inner sanctum. He also holds a delicate sandalwood box in his hand. She glanced at the daughters and said, "Okay, don't all of you cry with a sad face, go with me to Kunning Palace to make amends to the queen!" ”

When Zhang Yan heard this, her brows suddenly furrowed. And the other daughters think that Aunt Jingyue is right, they damaged the queen's flowers, and they should indeed go over to apologize in person, and Aunt Jingyue's meaning is simply the meaning of the queen mother, how can they have objections?

At that moment, everyone stood up one after another, and went out of Cining Palace and went to Kunning Palace with Jingyue.

On the way, Zhang Yan asked Jingyue worriedly, "Auntie, what's wrong with the Queen Mother?" Wasn't he in good spirits just now? “

When Jing Yue heard this, she immediately sighed deeply and said: "Who knows, the Queen Mother was indeed in good spirits at the beginning, but I don't know why, this time she became nauseous and uncomfortable, and she has invited the imperial doctor to diagnose her pulse." ”

When Zhang Yan heard this, she immediately nodded and said, "Then when I come back from Kunning Palace later, I will go to serve the Queen Mother." ”

"Miss Zhang is indeed a filial person, no wonder the Queen Mother loves you so much." When Jing Yue heard this, she immediately smiled slightly. He has a strong history.

The rest of the ladies saw that Zhang Yan was appreciated, and they immediately became envious, and Wang Yanfei on the side couldn't help but turn his head and glared at Zhang Yan hatefully. Today she was careless, and she was plotted by others, see how she will find the field when she goes back!

Everyone was envious, as if Aunt Jingyue's appreciation was the queen mother's appreciation. But there was a young lady in the crowd who didn't smile, and her eyes flashed without a trace.

It didn't take long for Kunning Palace to arrive. Everyone went in to wait for the ceremony, but the news they brought back was: "Aunt Jingyue, young ladies, the emperor is dining with the queen mother in the palace at the moment, how about you come back later?" ”。

It was not the palace maid in the imperial garden who came out to report the news, but an elderly grandmother, Aunt Jingyue was obviously very familiar with her, and immediately spoke: "Mama Qin, all the ladies picked the queen's flowers by mistake, and the queen mother knew about it, and she didn't want to go, so she specially asked the slave maid to bring all the ladies to ask for sin. There are not many things, just the heart of the Queen Mother, and I ask Mama to do it on her behalf. ”

When Mama Qin heard this, a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on her face, and she immediately refused: "The Queen Mother is really too polite!" It's just a few flowers, and if it's ruined, it's ruined, and our mother didn't take it to heart, how could we still accept the queen mother

What about things? You might as well take it home! ”

When Aunt Jingyue heard this, she was not annoyed, and smiled slightly: "Mama Qin, so to speak, Niangniang is this something that doesn't look down on the Queen Mother?" It can't be regarded as an apology, it's just a little bit of the Queen Mother's heart, so the mother refuses to accept it? ”

The two of them went back and forth, talking to each other, Zhang Yan and the others stood aside, no one spoke, and they couldn't interject at all. On such occasions, there is no room for them to speak.

It's just that Zhang Yan was worried about the Queen Mother's condition and wanted to go back to visit the Queen Mother earlier, and she was very angry at Mama Qin's refusal, but when she saw that Jing Yue didn't dare to do anything to this Mama Qin, she knew that this lady was by no means simple, and she didn't dare to show her displeasure.

Everyone stood there, watching Mama Qin and Aunt Jingyue kick the box of Dongzhu over like a ball, arguing endlessly, and they felt very bored in their hearts, they were here to apologize, not to see juggling!

Finally, I don't know how long it took, a grandmother suddenly came out of the inner hall and hurriedly said: "Aunt Jingyue, young ladies, the emperor and the queen mother, please come in!" ”

Zhang Yan suddenly perked up, and finally didn't have to wait here!

Mama Qin stared at the mama for a moment, as if she was recognizing whether what she said was true or false, and then, with a sigh, she led everyone in.

As soon as you enter the temple gate. Everyone smelled a faint scent of sandalwood, the entire hall was empty, everyone followed behind Mama Qin, all the way to the hall, Mama Qin bent down and said to the queen who was sitting on the couch of the concubine: "Niangniang, Jingyue and all the daughters have arrived." ”

Hearing this, the hearts of all the daughters began to flutter and beat violently. All of them knelt down and asked Ye, and the words of 'see the queen's mother' had not yet come out of their throats, but they saw the queen sitting on the top waving her hand at them. He died in history.
