Cining Palace.

On the low couch in the flower hall, Pei Gongcuo was bored holding a cup of tea and didn't know what he was thinking.

The queen mother on the side quipped: "Is it that the harem is restless, and you have come to hide from the mourning family?" ”

Pei Gongcuo smiled: "What did the queen mother say, my harem has always been harmonious, when did you get restless?" ”

The Queen Mother said meaningfully: "It may have been before, but it may not be in the future." ”

Pei Gongcuo was stunned: "What does the queen mother mean by this?" ”

The Queen Mother said: "You took the Burmese concubine out of the palace to play a few days ago?" Are you still going to the green building? ”

Pei Gongcuo was surprised: "Who did the queen mother listen to?" ”

"It has been spread all over the palace, saying that the emperor took the Burmese concubine to Taoyuanju to listen to the play." The Queen Mother sighed and said, "You spoil her, and the mourning family doesn't object, but it's not good to cause criticism because of this." What's more, you are so favored, it's no wonder that the harem doesn't cause trouble. ”

Seeing that Pei Gongcuo was silent, as if she was deep in thought, she continued, "I heard that Concubine Burmese has been running to Zhuxinyuan these days. ”

Pei Gongcuo was displeased when he heard this: "The queen mother is looking for someone to spy on Myanmar? ”

The Queen Mother couldn't help but make a straight face: "What kind of surveillance is not monitored, the mourning family just wants people to pay more attention to her behavior, and they are not afraid that she will cause trouble for you." Which harem woman doesn't act on the face of the mourning family? Although the mourning family did not explicitly prohibit it, none of them dared to set foot in Zhuxinyuan easily. She is good, familiar with the way, and really lives up to the emperor's love. ”

Pei Gongcuo couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seemed that he was indeed too indulgent to Burmese, and he forgot the taboo of the queen mother, but he had to excuse her: "Burmese is simple-hearted, and there are not so many twists and turns. What's more, there is a rare one in this palace who can talk about it, and it is understandable for her to go to the concubine to relieve her boredom. ”

"You're going to think about her, did she think about it? Regardless of Qianyuyu and the grievances of the mourning family, just based on the distance between relatives and relatives, she should also move around more with the mourning family, can she tell who is her mother-in-law? ”

said this, if he hadn't known that Duanwang was not a good woman, and was instigated by her like this, Pei Gongcuo might have thought that his woman might have been dug up by someone.

He comforted the Queen Mother and said, "The Queen Mother is serious. If you don't like it, I'll let you go less in the future. As for the favoritism you mentioned, it is true that I have not done a good job, and I will pay attention to it in the future, so as not to let the harem appear unharmonious. ”

The Queen Mother saw that he was sincere and knew the importance of his work, so she no longer pursued it.

Hua Myanmar's mood has been a little inexplicably low these days. Pei Gongcuo has not visited Shuihua Palace for many days, I wonder if he listened to his own persuasion and divided the rain and dew equally to divert the concubine's hatred of him, or whether he was cold to himself because he made him unhappy that day? The entanglement of this question made her a little frightened, when did she start to care about his thoughts?

He still remembered what he said casually on the street that day, saying that he would find a cook to open a small stove for her, and now he did what he said, and the head chef of the imperial dining room has almost become her exclusive cook. She ordered food every day and asked Xiao Yangzi to inform her first, and then asked Xiao Yangzi to run and bring the meal back when it was ready.

Wan Tao was worried about Xiao Yangzi at first, and he had to use a silver needle to test for poison every time. Hua Mian laughed at her and made a fuss, the only people in the entire harem who knew that she was pregnant were the emperor, Imperial Doctor Zhang, Wan Tao and Shuyu, who would have thought of harming her child?

Wan Tao thought about it and felt reasonable, and there was nothing wrong for a few days, so he didn't do anything more, and only let Xiao Yangzi try it.

In the days of boredom, the only thing Hua Myan's favorite thing to do is to go to Zhuxinyuan to walk around, raise flowers, grow vegetables, and make tea with Qianyuyu. Pei Yingshi occasionally came to ask Qianyu to say goodbye, and he would also join them. Until this day, Fu Xin came to pass the word, saying that the emperor asked him to tell the Burmese concubine, and the queen mother was not happy that she always ran to Zhuxinyuan and asked her to move around less.

Even if she was a little displeased, it was not because the Queen Mother didn't like her going to Zhuxinyuan, but because Pei Gongcuo didn't come to tell her in person that she wanted someone else to pass on the word. That's when she realized that she had no idea what he had been up to lately. So there was the following conversation between her and Hua Xun.

"Hua Xun, why haven't you gossiped so much lately?"

"Gossip?"

"It's just chewing the root of the tongue."

"Oh, there doesn't seem to be much gossip lately."

"It's the emperor who didn't let you say it."

“……”

"Tell me, it's boring."

"Say what?"

"Just say what you used to say. What does the emperor do every day? ”

"This-"

"Say, I don't mind."

"The emperor is basically wet with rain and dew, and he takes turns to go to the bedroom of all the ladies every night."

"Oh? Then the palace ladies are still jealous? ”

"Not on the surface, but there will be some small actions in private."

"Tell me about it."

For example, Mrs. Meng suddenly became unwell when the emperor was about to pamper He Xiuyi, so she asked people to invite the emperor, and the emperor was sympathetic, so she went to Yanxi Palace, which made He Xiuyi unhappy, and she went to the imperial study to find the emperor in person on the second day. Originally, the emperor was going to Concubine Zhuang Xian, but he returned to Jingyang Palace with her. But coincidentally, when the emperor wanted to pamper her, Concubine Zhuang Xian came to her, saying that the emperor had been working hard recently, and she specially boiled ginseng soup for the emperor to replenish her body, but she didn't think that the emperor said that he would go to Chuxiu Palace but didn't go for some reason, and later asked Kang Yong to know that the emperor was here with He Xiuyi, and he didn't want to disturb the emperor, but he was afraid that the ginseng soup was wasted, so he sent it to the emperor. ”

"Then what does the emperor say?"

The emperor asked her to put down the ginseng soup and said that she would drink it later. So she waited in the hall until the emperor finished pampering He Xiuyi. ”

Hua Mian couldn't help but be dumbfounded, this is really Pei Gongcuo's style, and it is really not admirable. After a long time, she said, "Concubine Zhuang Xian's face must not be good-looking, right?" ”

Hua Xun said emotionally: "That's natural, her complexion, first turned red, then turned white, and finally Tie Qing, which is wonderful." ”

"You see?"

"No, listen to Foxit."

“……”

I don't know why, this time when I talked about the gossip in the palace, Hua Mian couldn't find the feeling of staying out of the matter in the past. She really wanted to ask Hua Xun, why didn't the emperor come to Shuihua Palace? Or did he mention himself? After thinking about it, I finally gave up.

If it is incompatible with the atmosphere of this new year, in addition to Shuihua Palace, it is the Chuxiu Palace at this moment.

A few days ago, Zhuang Ziyan was infected with a cold and sent Xia Er to the imperial pharmacy to get medicine, but she picked up a prescription in the hospital. After taking a look at the names and dosages of a few medicines, she didn't take them to heart, but she suddenly saw the words "Burmese Guifei", so she carefully looked at the prescription and secretly wrote down the doctor who went to ask the pharmacy, and after learning that this was a prescription for protecting the fetus, she grabbed the medicine and left in a hurry, but she didn't notice the corner of the clothes exposed behind the tree not far away.

Since learning that Hua Mian was pregnant, the entire Chuxiu Palace seemed to be shrouded in a gloomy mist.

Yesterday, the emperor finally turned over Zhuang Ziyan's brand, and her mood had just improved, but the emperor was intercepted by He Xiuyi. She was unwilling, so she went to Jingyang Palace to try to kidnap the emperor to Chuxiu Palace on the pretext of sending ginseng soup to the emperor. Who knew that the emperor actually let himself wait outside, and he pampered He Xiuyi with great interest inside.

Zhuang Ziyan already had a cold, but now she was depressed after learning that Hua Mian was pregnant, and she was so angry with the emperor that she became sick and haggard.

She envied Hua Mian for being the first to get pregnant, she was jealous that the emperor took her out of the palace to play, and unconditionally favored, cared for and protected her, and she hated the emperor's indifference and ruthlessness to herself. She decided that it must be what Hua Mian said in front of the emperor, so that the emperor would treat her like this. Today, she finally made up her mind that she must find a way to get rid of the child in Hua Mian's womb, otherwise, she is afraid that there will be no hope in this life.

At the same time, she heard the news that the emperor had not visited Shuihua Palace for many days, although she didn't know why, she knew that this was an opportunity.
