Further forward is the Fengyi Palace where the queen lives, I stopped outside the palace, settled down, turned sideways and said to Aunt Yun: "Auntie, wait for me in the side hall, I will go in alone." "Concubine Li's miscarriage, although it happened suddenly, I still want to probe the queen's tone, I trust Li Xuan to protect me, but I can't hide behind him and do nothing.

"Yes." Aunt Yun turned to Gong Jiang, who led me into the palace, and said, "There is Lao, this father-in-law, who led the princess in." ”

"Auntie is polite." Jiang Gonggong's eyebrows are clear, young and light, and his words are already sophisticated, but he is still half-bowed, and his expression is very humble.

I think that those who are good at observing words and emotions and are low-key and humble can survive longer in the dangerous palace.

This little eunuch is the grandfather of Jiang who gave me a cloak to protect me from the cold on the night of the palace banquet, thinking of the cold autumn breeze that night, I thanked me softly: "My father-in-law gave me a cloak that night, I still remember that I thanked my father-in-law here." ”

Gonggong Jiang's face seemed to be a little frightened, probably he didn't expect that I would call myself "I", such an unruly etiquette, and solemnly thank him for this little thing, but his uneasy look only flashed for a moment, and he said sincerely: "The princess's words are tormenting the slave, and the slave has done his part, but he doesn't dare to take credit." ”

I really didn't misread him, he saw too much of the trend in the palace, fighting for power and profit, but his attitude towards me was neither humble nor arrogant, I don't think he would be a figure to be underestimated in this palace in a few years, if this person can be used by me, wouldn't it save a lot of things?

I shook my senses, and couldn't help but be shocked, I was used to the terrible idea of when I was lazy when I would raise up to support the power, I thought about it, it must be because I had been with Li Xuan for a long time that I thought about taking precautions, it was really - the one who is close to ink is black.

Although Fengyi Palace is not the most beautiful palace in the palace, it lives in the middle palace, not to mention the momentum, worthy of the demeanor of the queen's mother.

It's not the first time I've been here, and I'm not unfamiliar with it, but now I can't feel comfortable because I have a miscarriage in my heart.

Gonggong Jiang told me that the concubines and concubines of the harem had just asked the queen for peace a moment ago, and the time when I came was just right, I pursed my lips and smiled, disapproving.

This time I came to disturb the queen, so naturally I had to calculate the time.

And the queen said nothing more than some women's own words, the palace will only be close to the palace maid left to wait, standing beside the queen is a familiar face, most of the palace people respectfully called her "Aunt Yujin", I still remember the wedding dress on the day of the wedding was handed over to me by this Aunt Chun on the order of the queen.

"Courtesy Qin Xi visits the queen, and the mother is blessed." I worshiped the queen, and the sweet smile hung on the delicate face, and there was no trace of artificiality. The queen has helped me several times, and she has sheltered me a lot between words and deeds, so my respect for her is from the bottom of my heart.

"Why are your sisters so polite, sit down quickly." The queen stretched out her hand to float me, greeted me with a cordial face, and then said to her personal maid: "Yujin, go and get some prepared snacks for Princess Xuan to taste, and then make a pot of good tea." ”

Yujin is also a powerful character in the palace. She followed the queen to marry into the palace, loyal, gentle and obedient, but acted resolutely, the queen rectified the harem several times, thanks to the assistance of Yujin from the side. Because she is young, she can already afford to be called "aunt" by the slave next to her.

The tea was quickly served, and the aroma was curling and overflowing, making it refreshing. I looked at the teacup and was shocked.

The dim sum that Yujin brought was the butterfly cake I ate yesterday!

Seeing my appearance, the queen said, "It seems that the princess also knows about Tian Bao Zhai." A few days ago, the second prince of the southern kingdom entered the palace and brought some pastries to the palace, and the palace felt good after tasting it, so he wanted to keep it for you, and the palace remembered that you love sweet. ”

I breathed a sigh of relief, I only brought Xiao Ye with me on the day I met Chu Hong, and I deliberately changed into men's clothes, in order not to be eye-catching, it seems that I was too careful, and the queen did not associate me with Chu Hong.

I followed the queen's words and said, "The maid who served the courtiers happened to go to Tianbaozhai to buy pastries, which were delicate and delicious. ”

I took a piece of butterfly cake, took a bite, and ate it elegantly and naturally, I still remember that once in Fengyi Palace, the queen praised me for my good manners in front of several concubines, as if I grew up in the palace since I was a child. At first, I didn't think about it, but later because of my life experience, I took this to heart.

I took another sip of tea, and my lips and teeth were fragrant. Although I had already drunk this kind of tea in King Xuan's Mansion, I still smiled and thanked: "The queen's tea tastes the best." ”

The queen smiled, as if she was in a very good mood: "You have a sweet mouth, and you like the palace the most." ”

We chatted for a long time, the queen and I told a lot, most of them are girls' boudoir anecdotes, nothing to do with the Great Qi Palace, nothing to do with the Emperor Qi, nothing to do with the queen phoenix seal, such a queen has a special charm, can make people unload their guards, she is obviously noble and graceful like a peony, but people can't help but want to get close.

"In contrast, this palace envy you even more, twenty-eight years old, your appearance is dusty, and you are in harmony with King Xuan, it is rare that King Xuan has a deep affection, and you are really lucky to dismiss the concubines in the palace for you."

I rarely heard people say that they envied the relationship between me and Li Xuan, I was a little embarrassed, and my cheeks were crimson and said, "How do you know——"

The queen couldn't hide the smile on her lips: "The emperor laughed at King Xuan for this, saying that he was an infatuated species." ”

I was even more embarrassed, I didn't expect that even the emperor knew about it, and I wanted to find a hole to get into, so I whispered: "What did he do with me when he dismissed his concubine?" I didn't catch up with him. ”

The queen smiled and sighed, and said to me kindly: "Most of the men in this world have three wives and four concubines, and they are unkind, you can have King Xuan treat each other sincerely and cherish yourself." ”

I was stunned, no matter how many men and concubines in this world could they be able to reach the three palaces and six courtyards of the Great Qi Emperor? The emperor and queen are in love, but what woman doesn't want her husband to love and hurt wholeheartedly?

In this palace, the queen's husband is the lord of a country, and the high dragon position is like a bottomless chasm, separating them far away, destined that he can't just love her, and even for the sake of the great Qi's country, she sometimes has to push her husband to another woman, a central sour, needless to say.

After coming to Fengyi Palace for nearly an hour, I said goodbye politely: "The courtiers still need to go to Concubine Li to say goodbye, so they won't bother the queen." ”

Every time I enter the palace, I first come to Fengyi Palace to ask the queen for peace, and then go to Concubine Li's place to go through the motions, but in the past two days, Concubine Li has just had a miscarriage, and there is something about the white fox fur, and I will definitely touch the ashes when I go. But I "live" in the Xuanwang Mansion, and I really have no ambitions, and "naturally" I don't know about it.

Sure enough, the queen's expression was a little unnatural, she seemed to be unbearable to me, but because of the seriousness of the matter, she had to say something to mention me: "Concubine Li has been unhappy these days, you can wait for a while to see her." ”

After all, the queen believed me, she understood that I did not harm Concubine Li and the imperial heir, but because the emperor was angry, if I went to Concubine Li, it would be tantamount to making myself unhappy, and maybe I would anger the emperor and suffer unnecessary trouble.

I am very grateful to the queen for taking care of me, it is not something I have done, I will definitely not admit it. If I were the same as before, I would have to rush to Concubine Li to make my words clear, but now that I have Li Xuan behind me, I can't put him in danger on the spur of the moment.

I only thought that Concubine Li was really unwell and didn't see outsiders, so I was going to leave, but the queen didn't keep me, and sent Yujin to send me, and I bowed and retired, and I didn't break the matter of knowing Concubine Li's miscarriage. On the cusp of this storm, the queen is still willing to see me, and is close to me as usual, which means that the matter is not serious to the point of no return, and I am much more relieved.

I have a clear conscience, I didn't want to fall into the eyes of people with hearts, I and the queen have been planning for a long time, to join forces to attack Concubine Li's status in the harem, I didn't expect that because of Concubine Li's miscarriage, I almost died in the palace.

Out of Fengyi Palace, Aunt Yun has already stood outside the palace waiting for me, although the sun in late autumn is not poisonous, standing in the sun for a long time will inevitably be dizzy, I walk faster, she smiled kindly when she saw me, her expression was like a big stone on her chest finally landed, my heart was soft, no matter what mistakes I made, Aunt Yun never blamed me.

"What is Auntie worried about?"

Aunt Yun unfolded the cloak in her hand to tie it for me, and said softly: "The queen is merciful and will definitely protect the princess, and the slave is afraid that if the emperor is interested-"

I roughly guessed what she wanted to say later, and hurriedly whispered to stop: "Auntie, the palace is full of people, remember to be cautious in your words and deeds." ”

At that time, I was already walking on thin ice, and I had to be extra careful.

Aunt Yun quickly reacted and said with annoyance: "The slave maid lost her words. ”

I patted the back of her hand to show comfort, this relationship between me and Li Xuan may not be known to others, but Aunt Yun sees it in her eyes, all I can do is to come to Fengyi Palace and walk around, I don't want to do other ways and can't do it, if I take a wrong step, it will only hurt Li Xuan, and I can't break the balance between their monarchs and ministers because of me.

Gonggong Jiang was still standing a few steps away, thinking that he was waiting for me with Aunt Yun, I asked Aunt Yun to go and thank me, and I stood aside and waited, and I could catch a glimpse of Aunt Yun stuffing a string of good agate bracelets to Gonggong Jiang. He accepted it silently, only glanced at me before leaving, I smiled lightly, and walked away with Aunt Yun.
