Qu Muge said: "The fourth sister lost the sixth sister's doll because of jealousy, and said that it was confiscated by the imperial grandmother, and the grandchildren of the sixth sister and the imperial grandmother were separated, plus those rumors in the palace caused the Anmei people to gradually lose their favor." The fourth sister is so powerful at a young age, and I don't know if she was born with a strange problem, or was she instigated by others? ”

Empress Dowager Yu was already breathing heavily.

"Zhen'er, the mourning family has personally taught you to raise you over the years, and you have taught you to be such a vicious heart, you have disappointed me so much!"

"The imperial grandmother, the imperial grandmother spared her life, Zhen'er knew that she was wrong! Zhen'er was just jealous that her sixth sister had a mother's pain, so she threw away the doll. Zhen'er doesn't know anything else. ”

Empress Dowager Yu said disappointedly: "Since you miss your biological mother so much, the mourning family will let Concubine Xi take you back today." ”

"Don't, don't! Imperial Grandmother, Zhen'er doesn't want to leave you! Zhen'a knows it's wrong! ”

Empress Dowager Yu waved her hand and asked Mama to take Li Muzhen down, and then said to Li Mujin: "It's also wrong for you to beat someone today, punish you for 20 strokes of the palm, and go and get the punishment yourself." ”

Li Mujin was in a complicated mood, looked at Empress Dowager Yu, and then at Li Muge, and retired from the punishment.

In the end, Empress Dowager Yu ordered everyone else in the palace to retreat, leaving Qu Muge alone, and said: "The mourning family has looked down on you, how many days have you only been back in the palace, I have heard this, I have heard that, what I heard is something that the mourning family has not known for many years in the palace, you tell the mourning family, who do you listen to." ”

Qu Muge knew that he had aroused the suspicion of the Queen Mother, and explained: "When the granddaughter first entered the palace, all the concubines in the palace gave the granddaughter a meeting gift, including the rag doll sewn by An Meiren. The rag doll was beautifully made, and the granddaughter liked it very much, and put it on the bedside every day. But the palace maid of the Heart Cultivation Palace was a little panicked when she saw it, and persuaded her granddaughter to throw it away, and after questioning, the granddaughter learned some rumors about Anmei. The granddaughter believes that a mother can never harm her daughter, and that there will be no problem with the doll that An Meiren gave to her sixth sister, and that there is only someone else who has a problem. ”

Empress Dowager Yu asked, "Then how can you conclude that it is Zhen'er?" ”

Qu Muge said: "Sister Zhen'er said that it was the imperial grandmother, you don't want to let An Meiren have more contact with the sixth princess, if you really have this meaning, you only need to let someone bring a word, and An Meiren will not dare to send the doll again, since it is not you, and the fourth sister is panicking, then it must be her doing." It's just that it may be as my sister said, she just lost the doll, and someone else used this incident to create rumors about Anmei, causing her to be degraded. ”

Empress Dowager Yu stopped her words and said: "Rumors in the harem, the mourning family will order someone to investigate thoroughly, but after you heard these words, if you don't come to tell the mourning family, how can you use this matter to provoke Zhen'er and Jin'er to fight?" ”

Qu Muge said aggrievedly: "This matter has nothing to do with the granddaughter, but after the fourth sister saw me today, the fourth sister made it difficult for the granddaughter, and in a hurry, the granddaughter fought back, I didn't expect this matter to make the imperial grandmother so sad, it was really the granddaughter's fault." ”

Empress Dowager Yu sighed, thinking that the children were quarreling and saying anything, she didn't blame her too much, but just said: "Except for the two royal sisters you married, now that you are the biggest among the princesses, you should be more cautious in your words and deeds, and act steadily." Today, you are so quick that the sisters who are making trouble are fighting, and there is always a mistake, and the mourning family will punish you for copying the palace rules twice, and send them up tomorrow morning. ”

"Yes, my granddaughter will be punished."

When Emperor Yongdi came to greet the Queen Mother in the evening, a child on the left and right didn't see it, so he asked what happened.

Empress Dowager Yu told all the things about today's children, and then said to Emperor Yong: "Zhen'er has become so jealous, blame the mourning family for not teaching it well." In the past few years, the mourning family's health has become weaker and weaker, and it is really powerless to be able to raise Man'er and Li'er in person than in previous years. Emperor, it is the duty of the queen of the middle palace to raise the emperor's heir and control the harem, and your throne has been empty for many years, which has led to the fact that now the children are no one to raise and the palace concubines are no one to restrain them, you don't blame the mourning family for revisiting the old saying, you should be the queen! ”

"Mother, it's my fault that I made you work so hard. I will take care of the affairs of the harem a little more, and take care of your body. ”

Empress Dowager Yu said unhappily: "You want to perfunctory me like this again!" After standing or not, you give the mourning family a quasi-word! ”

Emperor Yong knew very well in his heart what Empress Dowager Yu thought.

Empress Dowager Yu has always wanted to establish Concubine Xian as the queen, so that the eldest prince is both the eldest and the eldest prince, which is equivalent to directly sitting on the throne of the prince.

But Emperor Yong always wanted to wait for the children to grow up, and then choose a virtuous prince, and did not want to determine the prince early, so he would never set up any concubine who had given birth to a prince as a queen.

Emperor Yongdi sat and didn't speak, and Empress Dowager Yu couldn't wait for a positive answer, and she knew that this was Emperor Yong's answer.

In the Tiyuan Palace, Qu Muge copied the palace rules with candles.

Huanhuan added some charcoal fire for her, and chattered: "Fortunately, it is a punishment for copying, not a palm, otherwise I won't be able to hold chopsticks for the New Year." ”

Qu Muge smiled: "Even if I can't eat it, let you help me eat it." ”

Huanhuan asked, "But...... Don't you really need to tell Hou Ye about this? I see that the fourth princess is very difficult to get along with, and after she was brought back by Concubine Xi today, she must have a grudge against you. ”

Qu Muge felt that her worries were reasonable, but after thinking for a while, she said: "Concubine Xi lives in Zhongcui Palace, I remember that Gonggong Ying of Zhongcui Palace has a good relationship with the Bai family, I will go to see him tomorrow and ask him to help me pay more attention to Li Muzhen, it shouldn't be a big deal." ”

This is the person she had been on the list provided by the Bai family, but she has not seen it yet.

There are some relationships that also need to be maintained.

Approaching the New Year, there is a taste of New Year in the streets and alleys outside the palace.

Tianyin Pavilion is also preparing for the New Year, Fan Shishui has just returned from Jinling after delivering New Year's goods, and brought back a lot of Jinling's New Year's goods by the way.

Fan Shishui didn't protect Qu Muge before, so that she was poisoned on the way to Beijing, as punishment, Gu Nanye did not insert him into the Beijing army, and still worked as a general of the Hou Mansion.

Song Xiyuan and Fan Shishui counted the goods sent to Beijing together, and chatted casually: "Lord Hou hasn't spent the New Year in the customs for many years, and this year I finally don't have to guard the border pass, but I can't reunite with my wife, is my wife unhappy?" ”

Fan washui shook his head and said: "It's not that I'm unhappy, I just asked Hou Ye why he and the princess kept quarreling, let us persuade Hou Ye to do a little bit, don't always bully the princess." ”

"Huh? How did Madame know? Song Xiyuan was very puzzled, the letters sent by Princess Taixuan to Jinling were all transmitted through Tianyin Pavilion, although he hadn't read the content of the letters, but Gu Nanye had read them, and every time he watched them, he always smiled, and the content written by the princess did not look like a complaint.

Fan Washui said: "Madame is such a discerning person, the New Year's goods sent by the princess to Jinling this time were sent by the Bai family, and she guessed that the two were at odds again." ”
