Chu Yaocen frowned for a long time, but if an empty bag was stolen, wouldn't it be even more strange? The beggar didn't look like a fool either, and there was no money in the bag, so he should have known it when he touched it. If you really want to steal money, you shouldn't take the bag away after touching the empty bag, because you won't get any benefits, and you will break your legs by the people of the Chu family after being discovered.

Chu Yaocen thought for a while, and said to Qingdi: "If I took your things so riskily, if it wasn't for money, it must be for the sake of framing you in the future." For example, when you kill someone, you will leave your belongings at the scene of the crime, so that you can be blamed. ”

Qingdi suddenly frowned and said, "Who is so lacking in virtue and thinking about harming me?" ”

"According to your temperament, you must have offended a lot of people, but according to my analysis, this method is obviously commonly used by women in the boudoir, and the Yin family has little to do with you anymore, so I guess it is the woman in the back house of the Chu family."

"Inside the back house? Needless to say, it must be inseparable from the He family. Qingdi rolled her eyes and said, "Sister-in-law and Yan'er are not the kind of people who can harm people, and the other aunts have no stake in me, so it must be the He family." ”

"Look, a few days ago, Ran Qingfeng praised you for being calm and not acting rashly, but now you are acting rashly." Chu Yaocen smiled and said: "Indeed, if something happens to you, the most suspicious person is the He family, but this kind of method of framing things is too low-end, and the He family will not use it." Think about her previous methods of harming you and me, such as finding someone to go to the medicine hall to frame her, and framing the eldest brother. And the current method seems to be an idea that someone who has not experienced much of the struggle in the back house. ”

Qingdi scratched his head, and a figure suddenly appeared in his mind, and said, "That Yao?" ”

Chu Yaocen held his chin and said, "I'm not familiar with her, so I don't know." ”

"Well, I'm going to guard against these women in the future, and I won't give them a chance to frame me."

Chu Yaocen nodded, untied Qingdi's clothes, and said, "Rest early, you're tired today." Tomorrow He will take a few of you to the plum garden to see the early winter plums, I can't follow you, be careful yourself, don't let some people catch you and frame you. ”

Qingdi sighed, fell into Chu Yaocen's arms and said: "I don't want to go, getting along with such a group of women for a day is more tiring than doing a day's physical work, I don't want to play with them......"

"Okay, tomorrow's gathering of the princes and nobles of the imperial city, you will still bear the heavy responsibility of communication. I heard that soon, my eldest brother and father will hand over a part of the rouge gouache business in the imperial city to me, and the women you will see tomorrow are all old guests of our Chu family. Chu Yaocen pinched Qingdi's chin and said, "You just follow your sister-in-law, don't pay attention to the He family." By the way, my aunt will go tomorrow, and you can give her a message, just say that I have been busy with business since I came back from southern Xinjiang, and I don't have time to see her, and tell her not to blame. ”

Qingdi sighed and nodded in response.

This plum blossom appreciation activity opened in the plum garden, legend has it that this plum garden was built by the founding emperor for the original Mrs. Lu, and later Mrs. Lu and General Lu were suspected of rebellion, this garden was taken back, it has always been the queen of the previous dynasties, and now, when the queen of the dynasty died, it is naturally the courtyard of the Chu Emperor's concubine.

Those who were invited to enjoy the plum blossoms were the ladies of the ministers who had heads and faces in the court, as well as the concubines of the palace. The Chu family's He family, Duanmu family, Chu Yan'er and Qingdi were all invited, although the Yao family was not invited, but the He family still brought her. The Duanmu clan also brought Chu Lihuan over.

After everyone arrived one after another, they looked at Lamei in groups of three or five. Sure enough, things gather like people in groups, Chu Yan'er's companions look like chubby young ladies, and it is estimated that they love to eat on weekdays. Duanmu's companions are all young women with indifferent makeup and elegant temperament, and they are bookish. The He family naturally gathered together with a group of women in charge of the house, and said polite words without smiling and exchanging housekeeping experience. As for the Yao family, they were not people who belonged to this class in the first place, so they naturally did not have any circles here, so they could only follow the He family closely.

Qingdi has been with Duanmu's family, and several ladies who have been friends with her have come to tease Xiao Lihuan to play, playing and playing, the imperial concubine walked over to them, and when Lihuan saw the imperial concubine, she rushed over and shouted: "Grandma, Lihuan misses you so much, you haven't been home to see Lihuan for a long, long time." ”

Everyone saluted the imperial concubine, and after getting up, Qingdi looked at this imperial concubine, when Chu Yaocen was pretending to be stupid before, she kept calling her sister, Qingdi really didn't feel anything wrong at all, because she really looked like she was only in her thirties. Now that he heard Chu Lihuan shouting "Grandma", Qingdi remembered that this woman was Chu Chengguan's sister, and she was almost fifty years old.

At such an old age, I guess I can't give birth to a child.

Today, there are only two sons in the saint, the eldest is only five or six years old, and the younger is still a baby, and now these two children are raised in the hands of the imperial concubine. As soon as the old emperor dies, if the princes can really not make trouble, or check and balance each other, this throne will be the eldest prince. And a child as big as the eldest prince, Mao doesn't understand, he definitely needs this imperial concubine, that is, the future queen to control the government. Then, she will become the biggest enemy in the path of the Yaozen rebellion.

"Qingdi, Lihuan knows that he misses me, don't you miss me?" Qingdi was thinking nonsense, and the imperial concubine suddenly spoke to her, Qingdi hurriedly came back to her senses, nodded and said, "Naturally, I miss it." Some time ago, I went to southern Xinjiang with Yao Cen, and after I came back, I didn't rest and went to be busy with business, and I never had the opportunity to ask to see the imperial concubine Niangniang, Yao Cen asked me to apologize to Niangniang, and I hope that Niangniang will forgive my sins. ”

The imperial concubine handed the Lihuan in her arms into the hands of the Duanmu clan, and then went over to hold Qingdi's hand, and said while walking slowly: "I heard that Yao Cen's mind has recovered, this is all your credit, I still have a lot to ask you, you come here with me." ”

Qingdi nodded and left with her. The others naturally knew that the imperial concubine had some private things to say to Qingdi, and they all knew how to say it to Qingdi. Only Chu Lihuan pouted and asked Duanmu, "Mother, why did Grandma take the second aunt away and not take you away?" Does she like the second aunt and doesn't like you? ”

Duanmu frowned, knocked Chu Lihuan's head, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, what are you thinking about every day?" Don't run to your grandma in the future! ”

Chu Lihuan touched his head aggrievedly, leaned on Duanmu's shoulder and looked at Qingdi who was gradually walking away, turned his head again, and saw Yao standing with his grandmother over there, hum, the people who bullied him didn't end well!

The imperial concubine patiently asked Chu Yaocen about the situation, and Qingdi replied to her: "Yaocen met a very powerful witch doctor in southern Xinjiang, and he cured Yaocen's illness, and Yaocen is now very, very smart. ”

The imperial concubine nodded with satisfaction and said, "Sure enough, your vision is good, you didn't dislike Yao Cen like your sister at the beginning, and now Yao Cen is back to normal, look at it, you have picked up the treasure, right?" Your sister should regret dying. ”

"Rumors? She shouldn't regret it, isn't she married to the Seventh Prince? Qingdi raised his head and looked around, and said, "Feng Yanhui and the Yin family also came over today, right?" ”

The imperial concubine nodded and said: "Yes, but marrying the Seventh Prince, outsiders seem to have infinite scenery, but whether it is good or not, only I know." The imperial concubine said, paused, then raised her hand to cover her mouth, and whispered to Qingdi: "I heard that the Seventh Prince also slept with the Yin family, and Concubine Li also has some unclean relationship with the Seventh Prince, do you think your sister can be happy guarding such a man?" ”

Qingdi thought that only she and Chu Yaocen knew about Yin Jixuan and the Yin family, but she didn't expect the imperial concubine to know about it, so she asked in surprise: "Auntie, what did you say?" The Seventh Princes and the Yin Clan......"

"Shh......h There are so many people in the circle who are looking at the Seventh Prince, and if there is any new news about the Seventh Prince, it won't take long for it to spread. However, these words still can't be said on the table, as long as everyone knows it in their hearts. After the imperial concubine finished speaking, she suddenly stopped and said to the child who was eating under a plum tree not far in front of her, "Sheng'er, come here." ”

As soon as the child turned his head and saw the imperial concubine, he hurriedly ran over with a smile and shouted, "Queen Mother, you call me." ”

"You child, didn't I say that I'm not the queen yet, don't you call me the queen mother? Call me my mother. The imperial concubine gently rubbed the child's head, and then said to Qingdi: "This is our Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Yin Sheng, although he is young, he is smart in reading." ”

Qingdi curtsied and said, "I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Yin Sheng opened his mouth and smiled, revealing a row of teeth that were open, and said, "My sister is so good-looking, like a little white fox, I want to marry my sister as a queen when I grow up." ”

"You stupid boy, what nonsense?" The imperial concubine scolded him with a smile and said, "If you don't study well at a young age, this sister is married, and you can't marry it." ”

"What? My sister is married? Whining...... Sheng'er is unhappy......" As he spoke, the little prince's eyes immediately turned red, as if he was about to cry.

The imperial concubine rubbed his head and said, "Okay, Sheng'er, don't make trouble, go over and play, the mother concubine will make something delicious for you to eat at night." ”

Yin Sheng immediately became happy, and hurriedly clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, there will be delicious food at night!" With that, he jumped over and played.

Qingdi looked at his back as he walked away, and said, "The little prince is innocent and lively, and he is endearing. ”

"Naive? Which of these children surnamed Yin has not been calculated since the mother's womb? The imperial concubine sneered and said, "Do you really think that he just showed such a look to you, and he is an incompetent monarch who is obsessed?" Do you really think that when he keeps calling me 'Queen Mother', he really likes me? ”

Happy Year of the Monkey~~~
