In the Xiyuan Palace of the Imperial Palace of the capital, the lights are extremely extravagant these days, and the Xiyuan Palace, which was originally cool and cold, is full of people coming and going, and it is the birthday of the Empress Xiaozhi in a few days.

In the past six months, because of the invasion of the border Chechagatai Khanate, the court was not quiet, and the court sent the general General Lu Yuanhuang to expel the foreign invaders.

Empress Xiaozhi received the holy decree, on the one hand was extremely happy and extremely worried, these years, the queen's Xiyuan Palace has been cold and lonely, and the emperor rarely comes. Now the emperor ordered to come to Xiyuan Palace in person to celebrate the queen's birthday, and Xiaozhi was naturally flattered.

However, Chongmo left the capital for more than a month and could not return for a long time, which made Xiaozhi restless.

General Jin Heng was ready to secretly go to Gallery Mountain to rescue Chongmo a month ago, but he was stopped by the prince's people for various reasons, these things were carried out behind the emperor's back, and the emperor knew about it, and the prince and the queen would be scolded and even punished by the emperor.

The prince was cautious in the emperor, and did not dare to show a little arrogant and exaggerated nature in front of him, lest he make a mistake and collapse the whole thing......

After the queen filial piety was involved in the incident, she has not been treated by the emperor, and the Cheng family has also been neglected over the years, the power of the Cheng family is not as good as a year, the emperor has actually been afraid of the excessive power of the Cheng family, in order to further crack down on the weakening of the Cheng family, this border rebellion, did not let the queen's father Cheng Tingjun fight, did not give them the opportunity to establish meritorious service, but sent Lu Yuanhuang, the father of the Lu Yuan Imperial Concubine, to fight, Lu Yuanhuang war reports were frequent, and the queen's mother Cheng was greatly slapped in the face......

Lu Yuan did not prevent the emperor from personally giving the queen her birthday, but also deliberately embarrassed the queen's filial piety.

However, with the help of the power of Emperor Lu Yuan's concubine in the palace, Lu Yuan did climb very quickly, and Lu Yuan still understood the truth of climbing high and falling heavily, so the prince and the queen had their own fears.

A few days later is the queen's birthday, the emperor came to Xiyuan Palace to celebrate the banquet, although Chongmo is not favored and is marginalized by the royal family, he still has the identity of the prince, and he has to meet the emperor. The queen was worried about Chongmo's safety, and on the other hand, she was worried that Chongmo was not in the palace.

Suddenly, "The emperor has arrived!" "scared Queen Xiaozhi on the brocade couch half to death.

Ge Tan, who was in charge, hurriedly walked in: "Niangniang, the emperor is here." ”

Before he could discuss, the emperor's glorious figure walked in.

Xiaozhi stabilized his mind, got up and knelt half-kneel, with a delicate smile on his face, and bowed down to greet: "The concubine greets the emperor's ......"

Emperor Hengyuan is about forty or fifty years old, with a vigorous posture, wearing a golden jade emperor python robe, with a golden jade mang crown, because it is snowing heavily, so he approved a navy blue mink cloak, into the house, the eunuch helped the emperor to take the big cloak, go outside to drop snow particles, the emperor is about a very good mood, waved his hand to the filial piety queen kneeling on the ground, and said: "No courtesy, sit down and talk to me." Then he sat down on the jade couch full of flowers. The queen greeted her, asked Ge Tan to take the best Biluochun, and sat on the side.

Ruyi and Princess Deping heard that Huang Ama had come to Xiyuan Palace, and they all went to Xiyuan Palace to meet their father together.

After talking for a while, Hengyuan looked around and asked, "I haven't seen Chongmo for a long time, what has Chongmo been busy with lately, ask him to come to see me, I want to test how well she is studying for a while." ”

When Ruyi and Princess Deping heard this, they looked at each other, turned back to look at their queen mother, and did not dare to reply.

Empress Xiaozhi reluctantly smiled: "The concubine is guilty, the concubine is not well managed, and the Nine Emperors Chongmo went to Wuqiong Mountain to hunt in winter." ”

The emperor's face darkened: "In a few days it will be Aiqing's birthday, how can Chongmo not be in the palace!" ”

The queen immediately said: "What the emperor said is very true, the concubine immediately sent a letter to Chongmo. ”

Chongmo is the prince that the emperor has to mention, and when he mentions him, he thinks of his biological mother Wen Luo, and the matter of Wen Luo really makes the emperor feel extremely bad, and the emperor sits for a while, and then leaves with a calm face.

The queen looked at the back of the emperor leaving, and said silently in her heart: Cheng Wenluo, you are really obscure about the mood of this palace.

More than 20 years ago, filial piety did not get heavy ink except for the written text, except for the literary strategy, the heavy ink was in hand, but the son of the abandoned concubine was especially neglected.

Filial piety is also a joy and a sorrow. The prince is in hand, and the imperial power is in hand, but the filial piety is only a weak prince who has been neglected!

"No, this palace will never admit defeat!"

Seeing that the power of the family has weakened little by little over the years, the power of Emperor Lu Yuan's family has become stronger a little bit...... Cheng Wentao bit his lip, and the palace didn't believe that the Cheng family would decline like this from then on, and it would be defeated in the hands of the Luyuan family.

"Someone."

"Mother, the slave is here."

"Go and call Grandpa Yunyi."

"Yes, sissy."
