It is not the first time that Zhou Youchen has stayed in Cining Palace. But today, Gao Fulu deliberately asked people to release news to the palaces, and the emperor did favor Niangniang tonight, and even did not forget to let Chang Gonggong make a separate booklet in the Internal Affairs Office, and make a note, so as not to have news in the womb of Niangniang in the future, and rumors will arise again in the palace.

Chang Hai still remembered Meng Xilan's goodness in his heart, and deliberately left a blank space under the name of Concubine Lan.

Gao Fuli was puzzled, Chang Hai smiled and said: "Father-in-law Gao, this blank space will be used sooner or later." This was kept by the mother to write the title. ”

With Meng Xilan's status in the emperor's heart, her path to grace is still long. If you can't keep it all, soon, the position of the lord of the East Palace will be changed.

Thinking of this, Chang Hai couldn't help but smile lightly, patted Gao Fuli's shoulder and said, "Father-in-law Gao, you have chosen a good master." ”

Gao Fuli also smiled when he heard this: "That's right, my mother is the best master in the world." ”

Gao Fuli was bent on standing up for his master, and couldn't wait to let Queen Song and Concubine Wen have a number in their hearts.

Only Niangniang is the person on the tip of the emperor's heart.

In the inner hall of Kunning Palace, Song Wenxiu glared at the little eunuch who came to report the news, and her fingers gently tapped on the table: "Is this true?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, the slave listened to what the people of Cining Palace said, it's true!"

Song Wenxiu clenched her hands in anger when she heard this, and her bright red nails almost pierced her palms.

This day, sure enough, it still came.

Although Song Wenxiu was angry, she also knew that she was not qualified to accuse the emperor. As for Meng Xilan, she is a person who cannot be easily provoked.

The palace maids were afraid that she would lose her temper, so they only put away the tea bowls on the table, so as not to smash them later.

Song Wenxiu took two deep breaths, and finally endured the anger in her heart.

She is just an empty shell decoration, how can she fight with her after two years in the palace without grace? How to fight with her?

A trace of indifferent despair flashed in Song Wenxiu's eyes.

She is a woman without favor, she was, she is, and she is afraid that she will be so in the future...... But she is the queen anyway, her queen treasure seal was given to her by Zhou Youchen himself, she is the queen of Sheng'an who worshiped the ancestors and ancestors in the Temple of Heaven, how could she be defeated like this?

No, absolutely not!

Song Wenxiu secretly swore in her heart: Unless I die, I will never give up the position of queen...... Meng Xilan, if you dare to touch the idea of this palace, even if this palace tries its best and strength, it will fight with you to the end!

is different from Song Wenxiu's secret competition, after Zhang Rong'er heard the news, she was furious and had a seizure on the spot, she only smashed everything in the palace.

The palace maids were too frightened to make a sound, and retreated to the back one by one, for fear of accidentally getting into trouble.

Zhang Rong'er had a grandmother Wang who had been following her from her mother's house, and when she saw her so angry, she persuaded her in a good voice: "Niangniang, it's so angry, what's more, these things are all rewarded by the emperor, what a pity to throw them away!" ”

"It's a pity?" Zhang Rong'er was so angry that her eyes were red, and she said in a trembling voice: "Is it a pity that they have this palace?" It has been two years since the palace entered the palace at the age of fourteen...... But the emperor ......"

Speaking of excitement, her whole face turned red, and her lips trembled slightly: "He would rather choose that old woman than this palace!" They are working together to humiliate the palace, they are trying to force the palace to death......"

Mama Wang saw that the more she spoke, the more angry she became, and her words became sharper and bolder, so she hurriedly stopped her and said: "Niangniang, you can't talk nonsense, be careful that the wall has ears!" ”

The little palace maids outside have always had clever ears, and if they hear it, and then take it out and talk nonsense, the mother will be even more hopeless.

Zhang Rong'er was really aggrieved in her heart, and plunged into Mama Wang's arms, crying loudly: "Mama, this palace is unwilling!" Could it be that this life of this palace is ruined like this? ”

Since Mama Wang is her mother's family, she naturally knows the situation when she first entered the palace.

In fact, such a situation was already expected by the lord and the lady. It's just that I didn't dare to tell Miss at the beginning, for fear that she would be arrogant and refuse to enter the palace.

To tell the truth, what the Zhang family needs is the status and status of the young lady in the palace, as for whether she is favored or not, the lord doesn't care at all, as long as the young lady can "seek her position in her position", everything will be fine in the lord's heart.

When Mama Wang thought of this, her heart was also sour, and she felt that Zhang Rong'er was a pitiful.

She cried for a while before she could catch her breath.

Halfway, she said hoarsely: "Mama, can you help Bengong think of a way?" This palace wants to compete for favor, and this palace wants to win over that Meng Xilan! ”

Mama Wang stroked her back and said in a good voice: "Niangniang, don't be in a hurry." You listen to the advice of the slave and maid, the coming day is long, and we don't have to fight for the length of this time. Even if Concubine Lan is a fairy-like character, sooner or later someone will be old. Besides, haven't you heard all those rumors in the palace? That Concubine Lan is a person with a cold body, and if she relies on decoction to warm her body today, it will be difficult to conceive the emperor's heir. ”

She sighed meaningfully: "As the saying goes, a mother is more expensive than a child. If she can't give birth to an heir, it's useless for the emperor to go to her every day. ”

Zhang Rong'er listened to it, thought about it and said, "What if she can't give birth?" The emperor didn't even touch a finger of the palace, and the palace couldn't give birth to an heir. ”

Mama Wang squinted her eyes when she heard this, and muttered: "The emperor is also a human being, as long as he is a human being, there will always be times when he can't help it." In the past, the emperor was just a half-grown child who had never tasted love, but now that the emperor has opened this head, he will naturally not be able to accept it in the future. Therefore, once you wait for the right time and the right place, Niangniang will definitely have the opportunity to sleep. ”

As long as you have the opportunity to sleep, everything is easy to say!

She said this in the tone of a person who had come over, but Zhang Rong'er was convinced.

She sniffed, her eyes were fierce, and she said: "This palace must give birth to a prince, no matter what method is used!" ”

The long night in the palace has just begun, but some people are already happy and some are worried.

……

Before dawn, it began to drizzle outside. The raindrops wet the new flowers that bloomed last night, and also watered the young leaves on the green branches.

Zhou Youchen got up very early in the morning, because he was in a hurry to go to the court, he didn't wake Meng Xilan, only let her continue to sleep. She sleeps very well, and when she sleeps, she curls up like a kitten, which is very painful.

After Zhou Youchen got up, he sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her for a while before he was willing to look away. Before leaving, he covered her whole body tightly with a thin quilt of goose yellow brocade.

Zhulu waited beside him, and couldn't help but bow his head and laugh softly.

Zhou Youchen frowned, looked at her and made a "shhh" gesture.

Zhulu nodded hurriedly, and served him lightly to change his clothes and freshen up.

After Zhou Youchen left, Zhulu also retreated.

Meng Xilan slept very deeply, and it was not until noon that she woke up leisurely.

She slept very tired, and her body was sore, and she couldn't use her strength.

When Zhulu heard her turn over twice, she knew that she was about to wake up, so she hurriedly instructed Zhuqing to prepare water and bathe and change clothes for her master.

Meng Xilan nestled in the warm quilt, blinking at the vacant position beside her.

What happened last night is still vivid. But for some reason, she always felt that it was not real, as if she had just had a charming and lingering dream.

Zhulu lifted the curtain and came in, looking at the master slightly distracted, and couldn't help but blush her cheeks first.

"Mother, are you awake?"

Meng Xilan stood up slightly, wanting to sit up, but suddenly remembered that she was not wearing clothes, so she whispered: "Zhulu, come and help me dress." ”

Zhulu smiled and agreed, put on her pajamas, and then helped her up.

"Niangniang, are you okay? Is there anything uncomfortable? ”

Zhulu silently looked at Meng Xilan, only to feel that she looked fine.

Yesterday, they were guarding outside, and they didn't dare to come in and serve. In the middle of the night, the emperor ordered them to send a trip to water, but they didn't see the face of the master.

Meng Xilan saw her worried: "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." ”

Zhu Lu's face was hot again when she heard this.

"The master should be tired. Slave and maid are waiting for you to freshen up......"

Meng Xilan took her hand and went to the bathroom, and she looked at the sky outside.

At this hour, the emperor should have had lunch in the court, but why hasn't he come back yet?

"Zhulu, you let Haruko go over and have a look."

Don't make an embarrassment in the court for the sake of Turkic affairs.

Zhulu answered.

Suddenly, Zhulu brought back the news, and it was as Meng Xilan expected.

Gao Welfare sent someone to bring a message, saying that the emperor and the court had a good reason with those ministers who opposed sending troops, but now there is no result.

Meng Xilan's heart sank when she heard this.

It seems that the situation in this Xinjiang is not optimistic, and besides, there are many dangers.

Zhu Lu looked at her brows furrowing more and more, and only said: "Niangniang, don't worry about it first, when the emperor goes down to court, he will definitely come to Cining Palace." ”

If there is really something big, the emperor will not hide it from the master.

Half an hour later, Zhou Youchen really came to Cining Palace.

Originally, his expression was very solemn, but after entering the palace gate, he eased his expression a little, not wanting Meng Xilan to worry.

He thought she would feel shy and embarrassed when she saw her. Unexpectedly, she looked at him with a serious face and asked, "How is the war on the frontier?" ”

Zhou Youchen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and raised his eyebrows, "This is the first thing you want to ask when you see me?" ”

Meng Xilan's eyes flashed, and she looked at him and said, "What? Is there anything more important at the moment? ”

She knew what he was thinking, but she felt it was better to get down to business first.

Zhou Youchen shook his head with a smile: "Of course not." Don't worry about the war on the frontier, I'll convince them, I will. ”

This battle is bound to be fought, and no one can stop his thoughts.

A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, this is his principle from childhood to adulthood.
