Hmph, it is estimated that the queen has a specific taste in her heart.

But who did he pretend to be indifferent?

The two of them muttered in their hearts while keeping up with Ruoyin.

When a few of them entered the temple, they found that everyone had arrived.

This time, the Queen Mother did not put on a show.

When the people arrived, they appeared, and sat down on the top.

The Queen Mother sat down at the back and gave everyone a seat.

When her gaze swept to Ruoyin, her eyes were obviously stunned.

Then he said compassionately: "The queen has been in a stable position for the past month, right?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor's mother, everything is fine with the concubines, and the emperor's mother is worried." Ruoyin was flattered and replied.

"That's good." The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction and said lightly: "It just so happened that the Internal Affairs Office sent a batch of snow clams a few days ago, and the mourning family ate very well." Now that you are in a secure position, eat some of this once in a while, so that you can replenish your body, and then let your minions take some back to their residences. ”

Her words and deeds are like a mother-in-law who is sympathetic to her daughter-in-law.

did not blame Ruoyin for the impeachment of Ruoyin in the previous dynasty.

Even, there is a kind of old man who has lived in the deep palace for a long time and doesn't know anything.

Because she knew that although the queen was grounded, the emperor might not be nervous about this one.

And she also said that as long as the harem is peaceful, she doesn't want to intubate those things in the harem.

Therefore, I had to turn a blind eye.

However, if the harem is not peaceful.

She, the queen mother, will not sit idly by!

"Thank you, Emperor." Ruoyin got up and saluted.

"Sit." The Queen Mother waved her hand and motioned for her to sit down, "You are pregnant now, don't move and salute." ”

Ruoyin smiled lightly and sat down.

Immediately afterwards, the Queen Mother's eyes swept over everyone, and she said nonchalantly: "The most important thing in the royal family is to extend the heirs, and now the harem is pregnant one after another, and the mourning family is quite pleased." ”

Speaking of this, her face sank, and her tone became a little bigger, "But only one point, the mourning family wants to see harmony in the harem." If someone is jealous and secretly makes those pickling methods, the mourning family is not allowed! ”

"Yes, the concubines and concubines follow the instructions of the Queen Mother." Ruoyin and the concubines responded in unison.

After finishing the training, the Queen Mother set her eyes on Zhuang Guiren.

The originally serious and sharp eyes instantly became gentle.

The corner of his mouth also had a smile on his lips, and said: "Zhuang Guiren, now that you are pregnant, why do you look at the mourning family and lose some weight?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone glanced at the Zhuang nobles slightly.

The heart said that the Queen Mother's eyes are not very good.

They looked at Zhuang Guiren, and their faces were rounded.

Why did she lose weight when it got into the mouth of the Queen Mother?

I saw Zhuang Guiren sneering, "If you go back to the Queen Mother, maybe you have had severe morning sickness recently, and you don't have much appetite." ”

In fact, she finally got pregnant, no matter how much she has no appetite, she will force herself to eat.

"Then what's the matter, if you vomit again, you have to eat." The Queen Mother made a straight face and said: "In this way, the new cherries here in the mourning family are sweet and sour, both appetizing and nutritious, and you let the servants carry a basket back." ”

"Empress Dowager Xie." Zhuang Guiren was flattered and got up and responded in a proper manner.

The Queen Mother waved her hand and motioned for Zhuang Guiren to sit down, "You, you, you are too honest, if you have any discomfort in the future, even if you send someone to Ningshou Palace to spread the word." ”

A pair of eyes, looking at the people in the harem condescendingly, have the intention of supporting Zhuang Guiren.

This translates as: If someone dares to bully you, just tell the mourning family, and the mourning family will make the decision for you.

Because she knew that Zhuang Guiren was too honest.

Once pregnant, others designated the first to take the soft persimmon of Zhuang Guiren.

That's why she alerted the harem concubines in front of everyone.

Anyway, the Queen Mother is not afraid of others saying that she is partial.

Anyway, Ruoyin, who she first condoled at the beginning, also rewarded snow clams that are more precious than cherries.

No matter in the order of priority, or rewarding things, the proportions are just right.

Let everyone in the harem sigh, worthy of being the queen mother who has been in the Forbidden City for decades.

This superficial effort is not leaky.

Ruoyin doesn't matter, as long as the Queen Mother is superficial, she won't care about anything.

In addition, Zhuang Guiren is a member of the Queen Mother's family, so it is normal for people to take more care of it.

But the harem concubines are a little sour in their hearts.

This is pregnant or not, the treatment is much worse.

After about a stick of incense, the queen mother, her old man, gave a few more instructions, and sent everyone in the harem away.

Ruoyin, as the queen, was naturally the first to leave on the phoenix.

The rest of the concubines let the way aside and saluted her to see her leave.

On Feng Yuan, Ruoyin lightly instructed Rushuang: "You and Ruxia go to the palace to inquire and see what is going on with the group of prostitutes in the Heart Cultivation Palace." In addition, let's take a look at what happened in the palace when the palace was grounded. ”

When she was grounded, she naturally didn't take care of things.

Because even if she knew, she couldn't get out, and others couldn't get in, and it was useless to inquire.

Now that the lockdown period has arrived, it is definitely necessary to grasp the first-hand information of the Forbidden City.

"Yes." After Rushuang responded, she went to inquire about things with Ruxia.

When Ruoyin returned to Yongshou Palace, ate some snacks, and returned to the hall like frost.

They looked at Ruoyin, who was eating snacks, and reported prominently without waiting for questioning: "Niangniang, the servants have inquired, and that group of prostitutes was presented to the emperor by local officials, saying that they were used to listen to music and kill time for the emperor in his spare time." ”

"Hmm." Ruoyin chewed the snack in her mouth, and she understood this.

Because in this scientifically underdeveloped Qing Dynasty, there is no mobile phone to play, and there is no TV or movie to watch.

The only way for rich families to relieve stress is to watch dramas and listen to music.

No matter how diligent a person is, he can't work all 365 days a year.

Then you really become a slave of fate, and it is easy to die suddenly.

Ruoyin took a sip of warm water and asked lightly, "Do you know where those prostitutes come from?" ”

"They were originally happy households in Shanxi and Shaanxi, and they have been acting as prostitutes in the government for generations, and they belong to the category of untouchables."

"Born a pariah? Or did you break some law? Ruoyin asked with an eyebrow.

Although she knows that people here are not equal, they are divided into three, six, nine and so on.

But I haven't heard of people who have been untouchables for generations.

"Yes, they were born untouchables, because their ancestors refused to belong to Emperor Yongle when Emperor Yongle conquered the world in the Ming Dynasty and followed Emperor Wen of Sui. As a result, after Emperor Yongle won the world, he punished those officials, punished their wives and daughters into the Jiaofang Division, and acted as prostitutes for generations, and practiced cheap karma for a long time. ”

"Not only do they not have the legal status of normal citizens, but they are often ravaged by local gentry and bullies, so that for hundreds of years, they have not jumped out of the ranks of untouchables."

Ruoyin wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said thoughtfully: "So, their ancestors were loyal and righteous, right?" ”

"Pretty much." Like frost back.

But Qiaofeng on the side disagreed: "What kind of descendants of loyal and righteous people, they know all day long that they make a living from "art", and they are not just good-looking, leading many good-looking ones, and they are used as entertainment for noble men there, and it is immoral to think about it!" ”

Hearing this, Ruoyin shook his head noncommittally.

Then he smiled with Banmei, but didn't say anything more.

The prostitutes here are just like the modern female singers and dancers.

But modern female singers and dancers are in a century where everyone is equal and have human rights.

And these prostitutes are in the Qing Dynasty, and their status can be imagined......

After Ruoyin was grounded and left the customs, as she thought, the fourth master did not call her for the first time.

And she didn't take the initiative to go to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

The two seem to have a good tacit understanding.

Even if you live in this Forbidden City across a few roads, you can always guess each other's thoughts.

Six days later, just when Ruoyin felt that it was almost time.

Sure enough, Su Peisheng grabbed the dust and arrived at Yongshou Palace with a smile.

"Niangniang, the emperor summoned you to the Heart Cultivation Palace."

Ruoyin was drinking the warm soup, she put down the porcelain bowl in her hand, wiped the corners of her mouth, and said lightly: "I know, the palace will go over after drinking the soup." ”

"Hey, then the minion will go back and talk." Su Peisheng said, and hurried back to the Taihe Palace.

It's just that he muttered in his heart, if this is replaced by another concubine.

As soon as I heard that the emperor was summoned to the Heart Cultivation Palace, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to sit on the stool even with my buttocks.

I wish I could go to the Heart Cultivation Hall as soon as possible.

But the queen is good, she hasn't seen the emperor for more than a month.

The emperor took the initiative to summon her to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and she was still grinding.

I didn't look happy at all, and I didn't look anxious.

Moreover, how did he feel that the queen mother had a sense of wanting the emperor to wait?

As Su Peisheng thought in his heart, Ruoyin did not go over after drinking the soup as she said.

She finished the soup, her whole body was warm, and she was lazy.

simply lay down on the chaise longue and fell asleep.

Then get up and dress up, and then take the phoenix to the heart palace.

Since the fourth master summoned her, she naturally wanted to go.

But you don't have to rush to go, you can grind the time and let him wait.

When Feng Yin stopped in the Heart Cultivation Palace, Ruoyin had not yet entered the hall, but was just walking on the steps, and heard a steady stream of music inside, coming out of it.

She looked at the gate of the Heart Cultivation Palace, paused slightly, and then continued to walk forward.

Su Peisheng stood at the door and waited, looking very anxious.

It wasn't until I saw her that I trotted forward to call a thousand: "Niangniang, you can count it." ”

What did he say, this one is really a big heart.

made the emperor think that it was not good for him to pass on the word, so he reprimanded him and asked him to pass it again.

If he hadn't seen the queen, he would have really planned to go to Yongshou Palace again.

Ruoyin called Su Peisheng to "get up", and under the leadership of Su Peisheng, he entered the Heart Cultivation Palace.

After entering, I saw the fourth master sitting on the dragon chair at the top, leaning on the back of the chair in a rare leisurely manner.

His eyes were closed, as if he was enjoying the relaxation brought to him by the music.
