The maidens of the Lantern Festival naturally still have to enter the palace, but the banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve last time was really unforgettable, and this time the maidens, including several queens, were a little cautious. It's no wonder that they are timid, it's really like a plague like a witch Gu, once they are contaminated, what's the use of turning seven or eight turns, and people with seven or eight hundred bends may be able to pull it!

Don't look at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet they saw a joke of the royal family, the royal joke is not so good! Besides, where is Empress Dowager Jiayi so easy to bully as Queen Zhou? A little talented person who had a miscarriage on the spot can be stunned? After Liu Baolin's matter was found out, the Queen Mother asked Li Guang to give wine to people without blinking her eyes, not to mention dizzy, except for her gloomy face, she didn't shed a single tear!

The queen mother was fought with a group of old ministers and traitors Geng Chen in the court, not to mention that the emperor now has five princes under his knees, even if the first child was lost after Changtai's early marriage, it was just such a reaction. Unhappiness is always hidden in the heart and not visible to others.

These queens, wives of the country, etc., may dare to spy a few words of news in front of the queen, but when they see the queen mother, they are all very well-behaved, for fear that one will be accidentally caught by the queen mother in the wrong place. Not to mention anything else, those queens have a deep understanding - at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet a few years ago, Han. The queen did not speak carefully, which made the queen mother unhappy, and did not say Han. The queen didn't beat anything, but when King Han resigned, the queen mother personally selected twenty stunning girls from the teaching department to give them to the king of Han, and the group of girls were all trained by the teaching department with great effort, all of them were graceful and good at dancing, beautiful eyes, and the king of Han was overjoyed, and greatly expressed his loyalty, and the eyes of those beauties were a little unable to turn at that time - Queen Han also had to hurry up to enter the palace before leaving to thank her husband!

It is said that in the past few years, among those girls, there seem to have been two side concubines, and there is also a little prince who has given birth to a little prince and is fighting to the death with the childless Queen Han, and there is a great tendency to kill the famous Queen Han and replace her. Dayong has a wide land, and there are even many feudal countries since Taizu, so the pilgrimage of the vassal kings has always been in turn, and this year it happened that it was not the turn of King Han, but it did not prevent everyone from thinking of what would happen if the Empress Dowager Jiayi was uncomfortable.

Therefore, everyone who planned to inquire more about the news at the Lantern Festival banquet was all looking at their noses and noses, and the whole audience was dignified and atmospheric.

Empress Dowager Jiayi thought that she had already guessed that everyone would react like this, and she was also very calm, a talented person, a miscarriage, and a witch Gu...... The whole day to the dinner party, and to go to the imperial garden to watch the lanterns, I didn't mention it.

The queen mother didn't mention it, and even a few queens pretended not to know, and others would not be stupid enough to ask.

Therefore, everyone had a very calm and boring time during this Lantern Festival.

This time, the Queen Mother didn't give Su Ruhui and the others time to talk to her mother, and Mrs. Zheng Yejun quietly glanced at her daughter when she retired, and didn't dare to show more looks, so she went by herself.

After the banquet was dispersed, the Queen Mother ordered Su Ruhui and others to step down, and then slowly let go of her face, and Queen Zhou didn't dare to raise her head, but just knelt down again to ask for guilt.

"Mourning Laba just helped you send a fool! How did you get back to your mourning home? Obviously, the Queen Mother is not not angry, but she was thinking about receiving the wife before, and she didn't want to do much.

"Daughter-in-law, please rest assured!"

"Reassured? Is this what you told me to put on my mind? The harem that used to be quite clean, see for yourself what it looks like now! The Queen Mother became angry, "The mourning family doesn't ask you for anything else, just ask you, as the queen, to take care of the six palaces, otherwise what ability do you have to call the mother the world?" ”

The Queen Mother's words were already very serious, Queen Zhou hesitated slightly, but still knelt and kowtowed, her eyes were red, and Douda's tears fell.

The Queen Mother was extremely disgusted with people crying and being cowardly, but Queen Zhou was also personally selected by her, and she was well-behaved over the years after entering the palace, and she usually looked gentle, but she was a strong person, and she was also very orderly in taking care of the palace affairs before, so sad, the Queen Mother also sighed, although she did not comfort immediately, she still taught earnestly: "Now you know, right?" ”

She asked this inexplicably, and Queen Zhou was stunned for a long time before she choked up and said, "Thank you for mentioning it!" ”

"Can the mourning family mention you for a lifetime? You are the daughter-in-law of the mourning family, and you are the mother of my country! Now that the mourning family is still alive, they can plan for the emperor and you, if the mourning family is unfortunate...... What should you do if you or Gan Lin or Gan Pei encounter such a thing again? The Queen Mother said leisurely, "The prince is still young, as his biological mother, you can't even suppress the six palaces, what are you talking about sheltering your young son from the wind and rain?" What do you talk about to teach him to become the future master of Dayong? Well? ”

Empress Zhou bit her lip, her face full of shame.

After being silent for a long time, the Queen Mother changed the topic and asked another thing: "How is the Qutai Palace cleaned?" ”

"It's all ready, just some of the furnishings in the house, but I don't know Miss Qingran's hobbies yet, so I haven't placed them." Empress Zhou hurriedly gently wiped the suspicious water color from the corner of her eyes, and said the right color.

"Qutai Palace is also a big palace, I'm afraid I haven't cleaned it carefully in such a short time, just get the main hall and don't wronged this kid." The Queen Mother personally advised.

Queen Zhou said: "The daughter-in-law also thinks so, and the main hall and the places near the main hall have been cleaned again and again, but the other palace rooms inside have been roughly cleaned, anyway, those places are far away from the main hall, and you can take your time in the future." ”

"The palace maids and grandmothers you serve are personally selected, you must be reliable, loyal and honest, and don't do anything unruly with your eyes rolling around!" The Queen Mother said again.

When Queen Zhou heard the Queen Mother say this, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, fortunately, her power to the six palaces has not been taken away. Otherwise, the Queen Mother would definitely not have asked herself to deal with these things.

When Empress Zhou was secretly rejoicing, she didn't expect that there was a commotion outside the Detai Palace, and before the Empress Dowager Jiayi got angry, she had already heard Qi Yun outside the door say: "The Empress Dowager is talking to the Empress, where did the unruly slave come from!" Dare to be presumptuous in front of the Detai Palace! "As he spoke, he had to drag the noiser down and hit the board.

It was still Queen Zhou's ears that were sharp, and when she heard one or two familiar names, she hurriedly asked Anxia, the palace maid next to her, to go out and have a look.

It didn't take long for An Xia to come in with Qi Yun, both of them with pale faces.

The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother were wondering, so they saw the two of them kneeling down at the same time, and said with a pale face: "The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, just now there was news from the Imperial Garden...... Miss Huo Qi and Miss Zhang fell into the lake together! ”

"What!" The Queen Mother slapped the table abruptly and said sharply, "Is it impossible for the slave next to her to let it go?!" ”

The Queen Mother had been working hard for Zhou Qingran, and she was very tired, but there were accidents in the harem one after another, and she had already asked her to come forward here to teach the queen a lesson, where would she have thought that Huo Qinglian, who she has always loved, and her niece Zhang Xuan, actually fell into the lake together! This is not the case in the middle of summer or early autumn! It's winter! The surface of the lake in the Imperial Garden is frozen in winter!

In the end, the queen has just been reprimanded by the queen mother, and she should be clear-headed-more importantly, the two who fell into the lake are not the queen's treasures, Queen Zhou turned around steadily and said in a deep voice: "Can you be saved?" ”

"Back to the queen's mother, the person was saved, and now it is being placed in the Chuanqing Pavilion closest to the falling lake, and I also went to ask the imperial doctor, but on this cold day, the young ladies are frail...... Hearing the meaning of the little yellow door, I'm afraid it's not very good......" An Xia didn't dare to say this, but Qi Yun replied with a solemn expression.

I saw that the queen mother slapped a few palms on the table again, but this time she didn't scold the slave, and said directly: "Go to the Qing Pavilion!" ”

At this time, the Qing Pavilion had already been in chaos.

This pavilion was built next to the imperial garden, has been vacant for many years, but there have been several concubines in the past, so the bed tent is there, but there is no quilt, Huo Qinglian and Zhang Liang fell into the lake, there are already accompanying palace people know these two nobles, desperately go down to the lake and pull up, see that people have already fainted, the breath is also intermittent, are scared to the soul, where do you dare to send far, don't lose your breath on the road, so I listened to the advice of the third prince Gan Tang, who happened to rush here, first sent to the Chuanqing Pavilion to avoid the cold wind, While sending someone to report the news to Renshou Palace, he hurriedly begged Gan Tang to send someone around him to invite the imperial doctor - although the queen mother regarded Huo Qinglian as a princess, but the palace has its own rules, and if there is anything wrong with these tasteless young ladies, they must be in charge to invite the imperial doctor for them.

On the contrary, Gan Tang is a prince after all, and the people around him are much easier to call.

The clever palace maid took off her clothes and covered them for the two of them, Su Ruhui, Zhou Yier, Song Caisu, and the county lord of Huaizhen were all busy contributing their hand stoves and stuffing them into the arms of the two. Although it is easier to let the cold into the body by alternating between cold and hot, you can't watch the two of them freeze to death.

Today, Huo Qinglian took the lead in proposing a night tour of the Imperial Garden, without bringing a few slaves and maids at all, after all, she is like a princess, not a real princess after all, and the Queen Mother only gave her two or three palace maids to send at will, and because Su Ruhui and Zhou Yi'er only had one envoy around them, naturally only one person was brought with them.

Those little yellow men were still waiting near the Imperial Garden to be alarmed by the cry for help after falling into the lake, and they were sent by the crazy Su Ruhui and others to do the work.

Therefore, the Qing Pavilion was in chaos at the moment, but no one could make up their minds, and when the queen mother and the queen's phoenix arrived, they saw Su Ruhui and his party pinching the handkerchief and weeping beside them, helpless, and a few slaves and maids didn't know what to do when they went in and out, and on the empty couch, Huo Qinglian and Zhang Liang were already less in and out of breath......
