Although Concubine Xian was thinking about the emperor, she didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of the queen mother, so she only sat down sideways.

The emperor looked at her for a moment and said, "Why is your face so pale?" But not feeling well? ”

Concubine Xian said softly: "I don't have much appetite for dinner today, and I haven't slept well in the afternoon, so I'm a little sleepy." ”

The Queen Mother joked and said: "I was fine just now, but when I saw the emperor, I said that I was sleepy." After a pause, he squinted at the emperor and said, "Concubine Xian is an old person with you, and the mourning family does not allow you to snub her." Don't seal a few Han women, just put aside the daughter of our Niu Hulu family. ”

The emperor knew what the queen mother was referring to, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, but he still said with a smile on his face: "My son knows." ”

The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the later it was getting late, Mama Yan opened the curtain and came in, and asked on her knees: "It's time for the Queen Mother to have a late snack." In this way, the emperor got up and said: "My son still has a twist and turn to see in the previous dynasty, the emperor is resting, and Ming'er will come to you again to say goodbye." ”

The Queen Mother bowed her head and said: "The autumn cold is deep, the emperor should be careful when he goes back, don't catch the cold." ”

The emperor said: "Xie Huang Eniang cares. With that, he retired with Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian wore a chrysanthemum coupling color cloisonné robe, with a hollow plum blossom pattern golden hairpin pressed on her bun, her eyes were affectionate, and she stood under the corridor with a delicate look. She twisted a piece of red handkerchief in her hand, lowered her face slightly, looked at the dragon cloud pattern on the emperor's waist, and said, "The emperor hasn't been to Jingren Palace for a long time to sit down." ”

The emperor said: "You often come to Shoukang Palace to talk to the Queen Mother, I am very happy." After a pause, he said: "But there is no need to mention all the things in the harem before the queen mother, so as not to make her old man worry." ”

Concubine Xian was stunned, she couldn't react for half a sound, and when the emperor got on the warm sedan chair, Fang took a few steps forward and said: "The concubine didn't say anything in front of the queen mother, the emperor misunderstood the concubine." ”

The emperor's face changed slightly, and he immediately smiled: "It's good if you don't have it." Seeing her standing in the night with the palace maid in the cold wind, her eyes full of panic, she said, "I will go to see you." ”

Concubine Xian said "yes" with a little sadness, and seeing that the emperor's sedan chair was gone, Fang slowly paced back to the dormitory.

Li Yu took the green-headed sign and waited outside the Xinuan Pavilion, the emperor changed into a civilian robe, announced him into the palace, and asked: "I went to Shoukang Palace today to reply, what did the Queen Mother ask you?" ”

Li Yu didn't know what was going on, so he resigned: "The Queen Mother asked who was sleeping in the past two days, and the slave returned to Su Guiren." The queen mother also asked whether she was staying in the Su Guiren Palace or staying in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the slave said that she would sleep in the Su Guiren Palace one night and stay in the Heart Cultivation Palace one night..."The words were not finished, but I felt a dull pain in my abdomen, and instinctively took two steps back, almost splashing the vermilion lacquer plate, and hurriedly knelt down.

The emperor kicked Li Yu, still feeling incomprehensible hatred, and reprimanded: "Dog minion! dared to run to the Queen Mother and chew the root of her tongue. ”

Li Yu really felt wronged, he had been on an errand for many years, and the matter of respecting the room was not a secret, besides, the Queen Mother asked, how could he dare not say it? He secretly glanced at Wu Shulai's face, which was even more ugly than the stinky pork liver the next day, and couldn't help but be terrified, and he didn't dare to refute it for half a sentence, shushing quietly, silently suffering from pain.

Jing Taoben stepped forward with tea, and heard a sound outside the curtain, and didn't dare to go in for a while. Waiting for Wu Shu to call for tea, Fang lifted the curtain and waited in front of the palace. She knew that the emperor was in a bad mood, and she was more diligent than before, for fear of harming herself.
