Empress Feng was confined by the emperor and cried all night in the dormitory, until she fell asleep at the beginning of the ugly year.

When Feng woke up, it was also the first hour of noon.

When the nurse Xiao Shi heard that she had woken up, she hurriedly brought the palace maid into the house, wanting to wait for Feng's to wash and change clothes.

Feng squinted at the palace maids, and said quietly: "Now that I have been confined by Your Majesty, why do I need to freshen up and dress up again, go down, and you will not be allowed to enter without a declaration." ”

When Xiao heard Feng's words, he knew that he was irritable in his heart, so he waved his hand and ordered everyone to retreat.

The palace maids responded and hurriedly retreated. When he walked to the door, he heard Feng Shi say loudly: "Stop, fold back for me!" ”

The palace maids all turned around, returned to Feng's side, and said in unison: "But I heard the queen's orders." ”

Feng Shi looked the palace maids up and down, glanced at Xiao Shi again, and said suspiciously: "How can you all use willow hairpins?" ”

All the palace maids were silent, and no one dared to reply to Feng's question.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Shi waved his hand and sent the palace maids out, before he spoke: "Queen, today is the sacrifice of Qingming, and everyone in the palace is just following the customs of the people. ”

Feng Shi looked displeased, and said, "How can the folk people be compared to the royal people!" Why are you dressed up like this? ”

Xiao Shi was afraid that Feng would know the reason and be more angry, so he didn't dare to tell the truth, so he only prevaricated: "Your Majesty also needs to perform sacrifices to the ancestors, and everyone in the palace is not allowed to go home to worship the ancestors. ”

Although Feng was puzzled, he was convinced by Xiao Shi, so he stopped speaking.

At this time, Chanmei entered the outer hall. Seeing that Feng Shi had woken up and sat on the couch, he knelt down in front of Feng Shi and said angrily: "Empress, then Mrs. Li has only taken charge of the palace, so she has changed the rules you have established, and this arrogance is too arrogant. ”

Xiao Shi wanted to stop it, but it was too late, so he could only signal Chan Mei to stop with her eyes, but Chan Mei only cared about Feng's knowledge, but she never saw Xiao Shi's meaning.

When Feng Shi heard this, he was shocked in his heart, and immediately turned his face and asked, "What do you mean, what happened?" ”

Without waiting for Chanmei to speak, Feng had already seen that Chanmei was also a hairpin willow branch, so he doubted: "On weekdays, only you like to be fancy, how can you dress up like this today?" ”

Chanmei looked aggrieved and said: "Then Mrs. Li, get up in the morning and order the attendants to go to the palaces to spread the word, all the attendants in the palace are equipped with willows, and all concubines, officials and maids have hairpins and willows on their heads..."

Without waiting for Chanmei to speak, Feng's face was already pale, and he said hatefully: "Slut! Although there is nothing wrong with the hairpin willow, but the slut of the Li family changed the rules in the palace on the day of my grounding, which is to let the palace know that she is in power, which embarrass me! ”

Feng grabbed the pillow on the couch, threw it on Xiao's body, and said angrily: "I am sorry for treating you as a dear, I have never doubted what you said and done, and now even you are lying to me!" And when he had said that, he began to weep bitterly.

Xiao Shi knelt on the ground at this time and explained: "Queen, how can you treat the queen with two hearts? The slave couldn't bear the queen to know about this, just because she was afraid of making the queen more sad. ”

After saying that, Xiao Shi kowtowed to Feng again, and then said: "Now that the Empress is grounded by Your Majesty, even if you know this matter, you are powerless to stop it. Mrs. Li's move can be said to be a demonstration in a small way, but Nu Jue felt that the city government must be to show goodwill to His Majesty and make His Majesty feel her virtue. The weight of Mrs. Li's scheming was also unexpected by the slave. ”

Feng Shi listened to Xiao's words, stopped crying, and sobbed: "According to your words, I will be trapped here this time, and let that slut show off her power in the palace?" ”

Xiao Shi sighed lightly and said, "The Taishi is now far away in Pingcheng, and he is powerless to solve the queen's predicament..."

Feng Shi answered impatiently: "If it weren't for my father's instructions, how could I deliberately curry favor with Yu Yuanyu and set up that spring banquet to invite me to this misfortune." ”

Xiao Shi shook his head lightly and said, "Zhaoyi accidentally slipped yesterday, and it is not surprising that His Majesty is angry with everyone at the Spring Banquet. ”

When Feng heard Xiao's words and Zhaoyi, his face was immediately full of anger, and he said: "Because of this, I have been wronged innocently." Since she entered the palace, His Majesty has never been as close to me as before. She has no children by herself, so what do I do! ”

Xiao Shi had an old illness and was old, and after kneeling for a long time, he was also in pain, frowning slightly, and his face was difficult.

Chanmei saw it clearly on the side, and it was because of her reckless gaffe that Xiao Shi fell to his knees. Seeing Xiao's expression at this time, he carefully reminded Feng: "Queen, Xiao's mother had a leg disease in her early years, did she get up and reply?" ”

When Feng heard Chanmei's words, he remembered that because he was playful and accidentally fell into the water when he was a child, and did not wait for others to go into the water to rescue, Xiao Shi hurriedly jumped into the water and picked himself up. Although the pool is not deep, due to the cold weather, Xiao has suffered from leg problems since then.

Feng's heart tightened, and he looked at Xiao Shi and said, "Get up quickly, so as not to cause the old disease to attack again." ”

Chan Mei waited for Feng Shi to speak, and hurriedly approached to help Xiao Shi up.

Xiao Shi thanked him and said to Feng: "The slave has a sentence that is out of line with the queen, and I hope the queen will forgive the slave for no crime." ”

Feng Shi waved his hand and said, "There are only three people here, you and me, master and servant, what can't be said, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”

Xiao Shi nodded and said, "Although Your Majesty has registered you as the queen, you are only in love with the queen. The queen has entered the palace since then, because the first queen mother has taken care of you, and your majesty treats you with three points of courtesy. In the past three years, His Majesty has fought in the south and the north, and has not stayed in the inner palace for long. ”

Seeing that Feng seemed to hear it, Xiao continued: "Now that Your Majesty has carried out the Han Revolution, he has moved the capital to Heluo, and he will stay in the palace for a long time. ”

Feng Shi snorted coldly and said bitterly: "The meaning of the nursing mother is that Your Majesty is now in disharmony with me, not because of the girl, but because Your Majesty has never treated me sincerely." ”

The Xiao family broke the pain in Feng's heart, only because Feng Xi instructed the Xiao family to make sure that he must carry out the words of persuasion, and no longer make the queen entangled in the love between men and women, so that he can sit firmly in the middle palace and protect the whole family.

Seeing that Xiao Shi was silent, Feng Shi let out a long sigh and said bitterly: "I have always been affectionate to Your Majesty, but he has put the daughter of Jiao again and again at the tip of his heart, how can God treat me so unfairly!" ”

After that, he began to weep again.

Although Xiao Shi was also very distressed, he knew that if Feng did not let go of his children's love and did not plan for the long term, he was afraid that he would be taken away by the Li family one day, and Feng would be even more painful at that time.

So Xiao Shi was heartbroken, and said to Feng: "The queen should not complain about Zhaoyi again, she is also the queen's nominal sister, even if she is favored, it is difficult to endanger your posteriority." Your most important thing now is to prevent Mrs. Li from becoming greedy. ”

Feng Shi stopped crying at the moment, and said hatefully: "Li's slut, if she is greedy, how can I spare her." ”

Xiao shook his head and persuaded Feng: "The queen's first thing now is to ask Your Majesty to lift your grounding order and take back the right to govern the palace." ”

When Feng Shi heard this, he was angry, but he also felt helpless and said: "Don't say that my father is not in Yecheng, even if he is here, what is the use." ”

Xiao Shi seemed to be a bamboo in his chest, and said: "The bell must be tied to the bell, and now it is time for the queen to talk about sisterhood." ”

Feng Shi hesitated: "Do you want me to join forces with that Jiao girl?" ”

Xiao Shi nodded, and said to Feng Shi: "The queen plans to act, don't hesitate again." ”
