"Water, this palace wants to drink water."

I don't know how long I was dizzy, Concubine Hui asked for water to drink when she was in a daze, and no one around answered.

Instead, someone's hair rubbed against her, which made her itch very much.

What is it that makes people so bold?

She contains. When she opened her eyes angrily, she saw a face covered with flour pressed against her at close range, causing her to scream loudly.

With this scream, many dirty women surrounded her.

She looked around, only to find that the palace here was dilapidated, except for these dirty women, there was no palace person!

"Someone, someone!"

"What are you shouting?"

The flour-faced woman rolled her eyes, "This palace is here, how can you be presumptuous?" ”

Her voice was familiar.

Concubine Hui looked at her carefully, her face was cleaner than others, there was not so much black mud, but the flour was not as good as the fat powder after all, and it was unevenly applied.

In this way, it appears that her face has patches of color.

The more Concubine Hui looked at her, the more familiar she felt, and suddenly covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Are you agreeing for nothing?!" ”

"Smack!"

The flour-faced woman gave her a slap without hesitation, "It's all said, you can't be presumptuous in front of this palace, this slap is a small lesson for you." Also, this palace is not a white promise, this palace is a white concubine! ”

Concubine Hui only understood where she was at this moment.

This is not a cold palace, what else can it be?

She was defeated, completely defeated.

The emperor didn't even give her time to wake up, so he directly let her into the cold palace.

And she still understands where she has failed......

Chinese New Year's Eve is a celebration.

Unlike previous years, Su Youyi really didn't sleep all night this year.

She was afraid.

This kind of fear has never been seen before, and when she was still an ordinary palace maid, she was not afraid of anything.

This time, she was really scared.

is already the most noble queen in the harem, she has a favor and a prince, but she has never been so frightened today.

Maybe it's because the position is too high and the identity is too heavy that there is no room for mistakes.

If the emperor didn't know about her and Ji Yushen in advance, and knew that the two of them had no selfish relationship, how would he feel when he heard Concubine Hui's words last night?

If she wasn't the queen and wasn't pregnant, she would have to suffer a lot of criticism from those ministers......

She slowly closed her eyes.

Shuya came in from outside, her steps hurried, "Niangniang, why haven't you rested all night?" Today is the first day of the new year, and it is reasonable that the emperor will go to the Baohua Hall with his mother to pray for blessings and worship, and there may be a will later. ”

Shuya was anxious, but what she said was not so sure.

On the first day of the new year, the emperor and the queen went to the Baohua Hall to worship, which was the ceremony of the original queen.

There may not be this glory in the future, when the queen was on the throne, the emperor did not let her go to worship together, obviously stepping on her status under the original queen.

But the emperor has always treated Su Youyi solemnly, and he is no less thoughtful than the original queen.

For example, cleaning the Kunning Palace for her to live, such as accompanying her at the post-sealing ceremony......

If it weren't for the incident at the palace banquet last night, Shuya dared to say in a positive tone that the emperor would definitely let Su Youyi go to Baohua Hall to worship together.

Su Youyi turned her head, her face a little tired.

Shuya said anxiously: "Niangniang, while the will has not come at this time, you better go to bed and rest for a while, right?" If you boil down your body, what will happen to the two little princes in your belly? ”

"Actually, you're worried that the emperor's will won't come, and I'll be even more uncomfortable waiting here, right?"

Su Youyi saw through Shuya's careful thinking at a glance, and only smiled: "Okay, it just so happens that my body is also tired, it's time to rest." ”

Shuya smiled embarrassedly and hurriedly helped her to bed.

……

In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor also sat in front of the window all night.

Every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor is the most pious, it is said that the Chinese New Year's Eve can pray for the blessing of parents, the first emperor and the empress dowager have long since passed away, but the emperor still maintains the habits of his youth.

This year is no different.

It's a little different.

Gao Qishou and Xiao Yizi Hou were outside the hall, and both of them had uneasy looks on their faces.

Although the terrifying matter on the Golden Palace yesterday seemed to be perfectly resolved, it was not the case at all for several parties.

Because what the emperor said was not the truth, neither did Ji Yushen and Su Youyi.

The three of them knew this.

It's just that the situation at that time, once it is admitted that Su Youyi and Ji Yushen are indeed childhood sweethearts, and then it is revealed that they once talked about marriage, then Su Youyi's face as the queen will be worried.

Even if she and Ji Yushen did not have an adulterous relationship, this matter would be rumored to be unimaginable.

Concubine Hui has been beaten into the cold palace, and all the ministers also believe that Su Youyi and Ji Yushen have nothing to do with each other, but the emperor is ...... It's still a little uncomfortable, right?

It's one thing to know, and it's another thing to be called out in public.

"Master, the hour is coming."

Xiao Yizi reminded in a low voice.

The time for the emperor to go to the Baohua Hall to worship is approaching, and every year on the first day of the new year, the emperor goes to worship at this hour.

Gao Qishou glanced at him impatiently, "Don't I know the time yet?" Just ......"

It's just that the emperor may not be in a good mood, and if he goes in to urge at this time, it will inevitably be annoying.

Gao Qishou sighed as if resigned to his fate, "That's it, who called me the leader of the emperor." I'll do this flattering thing, and I'll do the disgusting thing! ”

With that, he bowed his head and hurried into the temple.

In the hall, the emperor sat on the couch in front of the window, his eyes slightly closed.

There was no superfluous expression on his face, and Gao Qishou couldn't see anything, so he had to step forward and remind, "Your Majesty, the time has come, it's time to go to Baohua Hall to worship." ”

The emperor slowly opened his eyes, raised his eyelids and swept him.

A cold sweat broke out on Gao Qishou's forehead, "Your Majesty, the slave boldly said a few words, if you don't say it well, please don't blame the emperor." ”

He has always been tactful around the emperor, and rarely takes the initiative to say anything, but the emperor is a little curious about what he has to say.

"Say it."

Gao Qishou swallowed his spit, "The slave knew that the emperor was unhappy about the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve last night, but the emperor was not happy, and the slave had to risk death to say a few sincere words." ”

"To put it irreverently, the slave is from the time when the queen was still a palace maid, watching her come up step by step, her character. The minions are clear. The queen mother loves and hates clearly, and whoever treats her well in this harem will treat her well, and she will never be soft on anyone who bullies her. ”

"The emperor thinks about it, how can a person with this kind of temperament regard the emperor's kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, but have love for the person with a negative heart? Even if Ji Shoufu had to do it as a last resort for revenge, the emperor did no less for the queen than him. ”
