When the palace banquet ended Mu Zifeng didn't know, he only knew that when he was drunk, he was carried back to Tai** by Shangguan Lian.

"One more pot!" Mu Zifeng shouted loudly with an empty wine jug.

"Sir, sir!" Shangguan Lian helped him to his bed to rest, "Sir, you are drunk and can't drink anymore." ”

Shangguan Lian took the flask from his hand.

"No, I'm not drunk, I'm still drinking!" He got up and wanted to snatch the wine jug back from Shangguan Lian's hand, and as soon as he raised his hand, he saw Shangguan Lian's face, so he couldn't help but reach out and pinch it on her face, and said while pinching, "What suddenly appeared!" It's very real, right? Deception ......"

"What's sudden...... Appear? Shangguan Lian put Mu Zifeng in the quilt again and lay down well, "Sir, this is drunk, that's why he is talking nonsense, just sleep for a while." ”

Just as he was about to leave, his hand was grabbed, he turned around, met Mu Zifeng's slightly drunken eyes, and heard his words vaguely said: "Lian'er, I promise you!" Definitely! will take good care of your ...... Unless I die...... Otherwise, I won't let you disappear. ”

After saying this, Mu Zifeng finally fell asleep deeply.

Shangguan Lian stood in place in a daze, muttering in his mouth: Bao ...... Protect me? Protect me with your life? Why......

In the palace of Rongguo, the palace where the queen lives is called Shudeokjeon, which is no less large than the bedroom of King Rong.

In the Shude Palace, Murong Qiushui sat in front of the dresser, watching the maid take care of her hair, her expression was as gentle as water.

Even when she looked at the two trembling maids who were lying on the ground, her eyes were soft and kind.

"What are you afraid of, come, raise your head for this palace." Murong Qiushui's voice was really gentle, just like the stream flowing slowly in the stream in spring, which made people can't help but feel quiet in their hearts.

"No...... The villain didn't dare. The small-faced maid replied in a panic.

Looking closely at the two people who were prostrate on the ground, they were actually the two maidservants who were caught by Mu Zifeng that night and wanted to release snakes into the prince's bedroom.

"Come, this palace tells you to raise your head," Murong Qiushui gently raised the chin of the small-faced maidservant, and then her gaze instantly became fierce and vicious, no longer gentle just now.

"Whatever this palace says, you will do!"

The three words "how to do" accentuated the tone, accompanied by the crisp sound of Murong Qiushui slapping her in the face.

The small-faced maid's mouth was overflowing with blood, and she didn't dare to wipe it, she was so frightened that she hurriedly said, "Villain...... The villain knows that he is wrong, and begs the mother for forgiveness! The villain knows that he is wrong. ”

"Then can you tell me, why can the prince come to the palace banquet safe and sound today?" Murong Qiushui looked at her with a smile.

Don't look at her supple appearance, no one in the palace knows how vicious and cruel Murong Qiushui, as the queen, is. There was once a servant girl accidentally sprinkled water on her body in front of King Rong, she was full of care at that time, and was extremely concerned about whether the servant girl was okay, after coming down, she directly sent someone to arrest the servant girl, beat her all over her body, cut off her limbs and threw them out of the palace to feed the dogs.

"Yes...... "The small-faced maid couldn't stop shivering, "Yes, it was the gentleman named Mu Feng who found us, so ...... So ......"

Before she could finish the words "so", the small-faced maid had fallen heavily to the ground, and a silver hairpin was stuck around her neck......

"!" The round-faced maid was frightened, and kowtowed to Murong Qiushui vigorously, "Niangniang spare her life!" Niangniang spares ......"

Similarly, without waiting for her to finish speaking, Murong Qiushui grabbed a silver hairpin on the stage and inserted it into her neck with the same viciousness, Murong Qiushui gritted his teeth and said, "Die, you!" ”

The round-faced maid still had a frightened expression begging for mercy on her face.

"Drag it off." Murong Qiushui covered his mouth and nose in disgust.

At the same time, a soldier outside the door heard it, walked in and dragged the two bodies out one after the other.

Mufeng ...... Who are you? How dare you spoil my good deeds?

Murong Qiushui said word by word in his heart.

"Queen Mother!" Murong Qiushui heard someone calling her.

"Yi'er!" Murong Qiushui responded.

Hearing this familiar voice, Murong Qiushui put away the ruthlessness in her eyes, put the tenderness on her face again, she turned her head and looked at the young man who was walking towards her with a smile.

This handsome man with extraordinary bearing is the son of the queen and the eldest son of Shangguan Haorong - Shangguan Shuyi, who is only five years older than Shangguan Lian.

"Yi'er, why are you here?" Murong Qiushui pulled Shangguan Shuyi to his side and took a good look at him from top to bottom, "Didn't you go to see your father?" Why did you come back so soon? ”

"Don't mention my father to me!" Shangguan Shu resolutely took the water handed by the maidservant, drank it with a grunt, took the Jinpa, and wiped his hands.

"What's wrong?" Murong Qiushui asked.

For his only son, Murong Qiushui loves him very much, and at this moment, he is even more afraid that he will touch a nose from Shangguan Haorong, and it will be even more difficult to help his son compete for the position of the crown prince.

"Ever since that Snow Concubine came! The father loves her very much, and there is still the queen mother in his eyes. Shangguan Shuyi said indignantly.

Hearing what his son said, Murong Qiushui pulled him aside to sit aside, took the kettle from the handmaid and put it in his hand, and said to Shangguan Shuyi dotingly: "Yi'er, the queen mother knows that you are fighting for the queen mother. Speaking of this, frost rose under her eyes, "Since ancient times, there are three thousand beauties in the emperor's harem, just like the moon concubine who just came a year ago, no matter how beautiful and beautiful she is, won't the king lose interest in her?" ”

Speaking of this, she raised her hand and brushed her hair, "What's the use of being beautiful?" It's not like there will be a day when the face will grow old, at that time, it will be the mother and the child who are expensive. ”

Mothers are more expensive than children......

Murong Qiushui's mind flashed Shangguan Lian's appearance, and he scolded fiercely in his heart: It's just a lowly embryo, and he dares to compare with my child, it's simply inconsiderable!

"Mother, what are you thinking?" Shangguan Shuyi stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, and when he saw that Murong Qiushui had come back to his senses, he swore and patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, the queen mother, Shangguan Lian is just a prince who was casually sealed by his father, and his son is the most sensible and intelligent one among all the brothers, presumably my father will be able to see it clearly." When the sons have a chance in the future, they will definitely honor their mother. ”

"The queen mother naturally believes that Yi'er can do it." Murong Qiushui was suddenly moved, and even tears flashed in his eyes, "Yi'er, don't worry, Shangguan Lian is just a hairy boy without a mother, he is not worthy of being a prince!" You still have a queen mother, and the queen mother will definitely pave the way for your future. ”

All those who stand in the way of becoming the crown prince must die!

She didn't say this sentence, but read it over and over again in her heart.

Shangguan Shuyi didn't know what Murong Qiushui was thinking, so he coquettishly said to her: "Queen Mother, I'm hungry." ”

Murong Qiushui said helplessly: "I knew that you liked the white dew osmanthus cake and rock sugar bird's nest of the Imperial Diet, so the queen mother had already ordered someone to prepare it." ”

As soon as the words fell, several maidservants brought the two things that Murong Qiushui said.

Putting down the thermos in his hand, Shangguan Shuyi held the bowl of steaming bird's nest and smiled happily: "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”

Seeing Shangguan Shuyi eating so happily, Murong Qiushui secretly sighed.

His son is obedient, sensible, and filial, but he is too naïve, and it seems that he must pave the way for him to become an emperor, and he must not let anyone have a chance.

……

"The King's Reward! A jade dew bottle, a pair of jade ruyi! A gold silk phoenix bracelet, a hundred pieces of fine silk, and a thousand taels of silver......"

In the Yuehua Palace, Jiang Yuewan sat on the sandalwood chair calmly and listened to the guards read the rewards on the gift list, and after a long time, when the guards finished reading, he saluted Jiang Yueyue and said: "Concubine Yue, the king said, it's winter, I want you to prepare more winter clothes for yourself, don't be cold, the wind is cold, take good care of yourself." ”

"Yes, I see." Jiang Yue was still calm.

When the guard heard this, he was a little embarrassed, "Niangniang only said, 'I know', and the villain is not good to reply to the king......"

Lian'er, who was standing on the side, saw that her master was so unrelenting, and hurriedly said to the guard: "My mother said, 'Thank you for the king's reward, the concubine is very happy', you should know how to reply to the king now, right?" ”

"The villain understands." After the guard said this, he ordered several guards who followed him to put those rewards in the hall one by one, and bowed to Jiang Yue before leaving the Yuehua Palace.

"Lian'er, why did you say this for me?" Jiang Yue raised her eyes and looked at her quietly.

"Niangniang forgive me," Lian'er hurriedly knelt on the ground, and after saying these four words, she carefully checked Jiang Yue's face, and after seeing that she was not angry, she said, "Niangniang, after all, you are now the princess of the king, for the sake of Jiang Guo, you can't be too cold to the king......

For Jiang Guo? For Jiang Guo......

Jiang Yue couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He and his relatives are for Jiang Guo, and losing his freedom and being imprisoned in this deep palace is also for Jiang Guo, in the eyes of his father, is he just a "thing" that can be sacrificed at any time for the friendship between the two countries? If you want to marry someone you don't love, it's already for your rights and interests, and you can be lukewarm to Shangguan Haorong, it's for your rights. Does she have to let her lose herself in order to please Guan Haorong? She is struggling now or, or for her rights, if it weren't for her rights, she might have ...... long ago

She knew that King Rong didn't love her, and since she didn't, why did she send these things to her? That's right, in the eyes of the world, she is still Princess Rong, so King Rong still has to do his superficial work in place to respond to the fact that he treats all concubines equally, and the rain and dew are evenly stained.

A cold wind blew from the unclosed window, Jiang Yue hugged the thermos in her hand tightly, and this cold made her heart a little cold.

Xu noticed Jiang Yue's movements, Lian'er hurriedly got up and closed the window, and put on mink fleece for Jiang Yueyue.

Lian'er said to Jiang Yue with concern: "Niangniang, be careful of the wind and cold, do you want the villain to help you to lie on the bed?" ”

"No need to ......" Jiang Yueyue thought of Mu Zifeng again, the masked man who made her unable to make a wave for a year, "I want to go out for a walk alone." ”
