The queen looked at the middle of the seat, and suddenly sighed, "Why didn't Bai promise come?" Fang Guiren was grounded, could she also be grounded? ”

Wan Chang hurriedly got up and replied when she heard the words, "Queen Mother, because the noble Fang disobeyed the holy decree and secretly ran out before, so this time the emperor sent guards to guard the Chuxiu Palace, and no one else can enter or leave." Bai promised to live in Chuxiu Palace, so naturally he couldn't get out. ”

She and Bai promised to have some friendship, otherwise in such a situation, I am afraid that no one in the palace will pay attention to it.

The queen didn't say anything after hearing this, originally she could make it convenient for Bai to promise with a will, but she didn't want to bother to give it to an insignificant person.

only said: "This is the emperor's will, if you want Bai to agree to travel alone or move elsewhere, it's not convenient, just let her stay with Fang Guiren." ”

The queen didn't care about a person who had been in the palace for many years and still agreed, and after listening to Wan Changzai's answer, she didn't want to arrange it for Bai Changzai, so Wan Changzai had to sit down silently.

After a while, everyone dispersed, and Su Youyi prepared to go to the Dongsi Institute to see the eldest prince, so she took the first step.

The queen was a little tired, and was about to go in and lie down for a while, when she suddenly heard Cui Shao say: "Queen Mother, Concubine Hui asks to see you." ”

"Concubine Hui?"

The queen couldn't help but be a little surprised, Concubine Hui had something to say just now, so she had to turn her head and come back to tell her now.

She and Concubine Hui have never had much intersection, so they couldn't help but think about it carefully.

Cui Shao said tentatively: "Why don't the slave maid go and tell her that the mother is tired and wants to rest, so she won't see the guests, right?" ”

The queen waved her hand, "That's it, just let her in." Hongu wants to see what she has to say, and it's worth a special trip back. ”

"Yes."

Cui shook out to invite Concubine Hui, and when Concubine Hui heard the queen's summons, her face was a little strange, and she seemed to hesitate about something.

Cui Shao reminded in a low voice: "Concubine Hui, the queen invites you in." ”

Concubine Hui raised her head as if she had just woken up from a dream, and said busily: "Okay, okay, this palace is asking to see the queen." ”

The queen's attitude towards Concubine Hui was already perfunctory, and she became more and more displeased when she looked a little unruly.

"What the hell is the matter with you asking to see Hongu?"

The queen spoke, Concubine Hui woke up like a dream, and said busily: "The concubine has something to tell the queen, please let the lady retreat." ”

The queen frowned slightly, "What's so important that you still want the palace to retreat?" ”

Concubine Hui bowed her head and was silent, the queen thought for a moment, and finally waved her hand to signal everyone to retreat, Cui Shao took the palace people out of the hall and closed the palace door with her hand.

Concubine Hui raised her head at this time, "Queen Mother, why did Concubine Zhao anger the emperor a few days ago, do you know?" ”

The queen was shocked when she heard this, "Could it be that you know?" ”

Concubine Hui shook her head, Queen Bai was happy, and said busily: "This palace will never inquire about private matters that the emperor doesn't want people to know, and naturally I don't know about this matter." ”

Concubine Hui said eagerly: "But no matter what the reason is, it is a fact that Concubine Zhao angered the emperor, and many people have seen the emperor come out of the Yongshou Palace angrily, and this matter cannot be faked." ”

The queen frowned slightly, "What do you want to say?" ”

"The emperor has rarely been angry with the harem concubines, but this time Concubine Zhao angered the emperor, it was so easy and good, didn't the queen think it was strange?"

The queen naturally felt strange.

But she has been by the emperor's side for many years, and she knows that there are some things that she shouldn't inquire about.

She looked at Concubine Hui, "What's so strange about this?" It's not a day or two that Concubine Zhao has been favored, and she offended the emperor by an accidental misunderstanding, and the emperor quickly forgave her in Su Ri's affection, isn't this how it should be? ”

Concubine Hui shook her head firmly, "It shouldn't be. ”

The queen frowned at her, only to see Concubine Hui raise her head, a little gloomy, "The concubine is not referring to the emperor forgiving Concubine Zhao so quickly, this is not terrible." What scared the concubines was that the emperor had always been happy and angry, but everyone knew that he was angry for the sake of the concubines. Queen Mother, don't you think it's not like the emperor at all? ”

The queen was stunned when she heard this, and thought about it carefully.

After a pause, Concubine Hui continued: "No matter how much the emperor favored Concubine Zhao in the past, the concubines did not feel displeased, but were very happy. At least there will be no more rumors that the emperor is not a good woman, which will affect the emperor's reputation. ”

The queen glanced at her and knew that what she said was not the truth, but she did not expose it.

Concubine Hui said: "But this time the concubine is really worried about the emperor. The emperor is the king of a country, how can he be so moody for Zhao Concubine? It can be seen that Concubine Zhao's influence in the emperor's heart, Queen Mother, do you really want to let Concubine Zhao control the emperor in her hands? ”

The Queen's voice was raised, "Why is this so? Even if Concubine Zhao is favored, it is impossible to control the emperor, the emperor is a wise monarch and will not be confused by a little woman. What's more, Concubine Zhao has always acted in a measured manner, and has never been spoiled in the palace, so the palace can rest assured. ”

Compared with Concubine Hui, the person next to the former queen, she would rather believe in Su Youyi, who has no roots and no foundation.

Concubine Hui knew that the queen couldn't fully trust her, so she persuaded more patiently, "Has the queen ever heard a word?" When the moon is full, it is profitable, and when the water is full, it is lost. The concubine didn't know how to write and ink, but she remembered this sentence very clearly. Wasn't the Li family too complacent at the beginning, so he ended up dying violently? ”

Li's violent death was the queen's handiwork, and at the mention of this, she instantly felt uncomfortable.

Concubine Hui said again: "There is also a noble person, she is in the position of a concubine and is pregnant with a dragon fetus, so honorable and prominent. Isn't it because of the pampering and disrespect of the queen, and even disobeying the holy decree, that he ended up in this fate? In the end, these people don't have to worry, they will always suffer the consequences, but Zhao Concubine is different. She knows how to keep her head down, and once she is full-fledged in the future, she will not be as easy to deal with as Concubine Fang. ”

The queen frowned and thought about Concubine Hui's words, suddenly thought of something, and looked up at her, "Concubine Hui, you have always read little, but you have memorized such a good sentence." Is it because you've been using this phrase to warn yourself? ”

If you want to say that Taoguang is obscure, isn't Concubine Hui the person who has been in Taoguang in the palace for many years?

Concubine Hui's back was cold, and she said with a stiff smile: "Queen Mother, the concubine just happens to remember such a crepe sentence, don't worry about it." Where did the concubine come from? The concubine Lao Zhuhuang is not favored by the emperor, and there is only one princess under her knees. ”

When the queen heard this, she was reasonable, and her face looked a little better.

She thought that Su Youyi had always been smart, and she naturally understood the truth of Taoguang and obscurity, but this did not necessarily mean that Su Youyi was ambitious.

She looked at Concubine Hui, "Do you think that with her unfounded background, what waves can be made in the palace?" ”

The queen always felt that Su Youyi was not such an ambitious person, and there was no mother behind her to support her ambitions.
