Two years have passed in the days of peace and leisure, Qian Qian was eight years old, Mu Xijing was twelve years old, he was still the most unlikable prince, and now the two princes who have become adults, the third son of the queen mother and the ninth son of Concubine Xiao are very favored by the emperor, and they were sent errands, Qian Qian thought, about the emperor wants to choose the prince from these two princes.

No matter what Qian Qian thinks, he feels that the position of the prince seems unlikely to fall on Mu Xijing's head, after the death of the seventeenth prince, the emperor is probably hit too hard, and his body is not as good as before, Qian Qian thinks that the matter of establishing an heir should not be able to drag on.

How can Mu Xijing become the emperor smoothly, this matter is very worrying, but she doesn't have a good way for the time being, how can an eight-year-old princess with a foreign surname influence the emperor's decision? But before it was her turn to worry about Mu Xijing, there was another accident in the palace.

The winter of this year was particularly cold, and the elderly Queen Mother finally failed to survive and passed away before the New Year. The death of the Queen Mother was a state funeral, and the whole country mourned, and the emperor was even more grief-stricken and personally guarded the spirit.

The emperor is not young, naturally he can't stay in front of the spirit every day, so the princes take turns to watch the spirit in front of the queen mother's spirit, the young Mu Xijing is okay, and the three princes and the nine princes who have already started to run errands are so busy that their feet don't touch the ground, the official affairs of the previous dynasty cannot be delayed, and the funeral of the queen mother needs to be taken care of.

Qian Qian, as a princess with a different surname who was personally raised by the Queen Mother, of course, has to pay homage to incense and guard the spirit every day, Mu Xijing is with her every day, and the two of them are coming back together, although they are tired, it is nothing.

According to the etiquette system of this plane, the queen mother passed away and stopped for thirty-six days, and there were many things, even a minor prince like Mu Xijing was very busy. When the vigil was kept for more than 20 days, it happened to be snowing, Mu Xijing was sent by the third son of the emperor to kowtow to the Shouhuang Palace, and before he left, he specially instructed Qian Qian to wait for him to come back in front of the queen mother's spirit, and the two went back together.

"The road is slippery, don't walk around by yourself, don't wait for me to come back." When Mu Xijing left, he gave thousands of instructions.

This day is very busy, the princes have something to do, the queen mother is keeping a few high-level concubines on the wake, and there are only Qian Qian and the seventh princess left among the children. Qian Qian was kneeling quietly side by side with the Ninth Princess, when he suddenly heard 7788 shouting excitedly: "Qian Chuanzi!" Guess what I saw? ”

"Could it be that what kind of gossip is it?" Qian Qian is used to seeing the appearance of not being strange, and 7788 was shocked when he brought out a small gossip that was not good at both ends in three days.

"It's big gossip!" 7788 reported with a smile: "That Nine Emperor Princes, in the side hall, was with a palace maid, and the palace maid pulled him and cried!" The Nine Emperors have an impatient look on their faces, do you want to pick up ready-made bargains? ”

"Go, go!" Qian Qian quickly got up with a grunt: "I'm worried that I can't protect Mu Xijing, and of course I will pick up the cheap ones that are sent to the door." ”

The seventh princess saw that Qian Qian stood up, and glanced at her with some confusion, Qian Qian whispered to her: "It's been half a day, I'll ask the queen if she wants to go to the side hall to rest." ”

The Seventh Princess nodded quietly when she heard this. She was already very tired, and if the queen mother was willing to rest, she could just take a rest with her.

Qian Qian crossed the concubines kneeling in a row, walked to the side of the queen and asked softly: "Queen Mother, it's been half a day, do you want to go to the side hall to rest?" ”

Qian Qian originally thought that the queen would refuse, but her words were actually just to remind the queen that she and the seventh princess were still children, and let them rest, so that she could pull the seventh princess to watch the nine princes and the palace maid pull and pull in a bright way. Unexpectedly, the queen mother actually responded immediately, as if she had been waiting for someone to say this.

"It's still filial piety to Princess Jinghe," the queen immediately stretched out her hand and beckoned the palace maid to help herself up, and turned to look at the concubines kneeling in a row behind her: "Concubine Xiao and Concubine Zhang Guifei will go to rest with the palace first, and the rest of the people will keep an eye on it first, and the palace will send someone to replace you later." Princesses come along, little child, kneeling for half a day, pitiful. ”

Listening to the queen's instructions, Qian Qian lowered his head slightly, and was extremely vigilant against this queen mother who was gentle and gentle every day. The Nine Emperor Princes were pulling and pulling with the palace maid in the side hall, she knew it through the small monitoring of 7788, but this queen mother seemed to know it in her heart, and went to the side hall to rest not only pulled Zhang Guifei, but also deliberately called the Nine Emperor Princes' biological mother, Concubine Xiao, not only that, but also asked her and the Seventh Princess to go together.

For the harem, Concubine Zhang, Concubine Xiao and the two princesses are a perfect group of witnesses. If the Nine Emperor Princes and the palace maid were caught red-handed for something, his biological mother and sister were all present, even if he wanted to slander people, he would not be able to speak. How could the queen mother take the mother of the Nine Emperor Princes to slander the Nine Emperor Princes?!

The seventh princess, who didn't feel anything, was very happy, and immediately stood up and walked side by side with Qian Qian, preparing to go to the side hall to rest. The queen mother, who was supported by the palace maids, walked in the front, walking quickly all the way, not at all like she had been kneeling for a long time, and Concubine Zhang and Concubine Xiao, who were behind her, almost couldn't keep up.

Probably didn't want to alarm the Nine Emperor Princes in the side hall, the Queen Mother walked with her head down and bored head for a short period of time, without saying a word, seeing that she didn't speak, the Niangniang and the palace maids who followed behind her didn't dare to speak at will, until the Queen Niang's personal maid suddenly pushed open the door of the side hall, and the Nine Emperor Princes who were torn into disheveled clothes and the palace maid who pounced on him fell into the eyes of everyone without concealment.

"You...... You guys! The queen mother seemed to be very angry, her lips were white, her face was like gold paper, she stretched out her finger and pointed at the Nine Emperor Princes, and it seemed that she couldn't say anything clearly: "Bastard!" What kind of system does it become during the national mourning? ”

Concubine Xiao reacted quickly, she stepped forward in a few steps, and withdrew the palace maid who pounced on his son, slapped the person to the ground with two slaps, and asked with a majestic face: "Who instructed you to stay here and assassinate the Nine Emperor Princes?" ”

"No!" The palace maid who fell to the ground cried: "Concubine Xiao forgives her sins, the slave and maid are not assassins, and the slave and maid are ......."

"Nonsense!" Without waiting for the palace maid to finish speaking, Concubine Xiao cut off the conversation sharply: "We have seen so many pairs of eyes, you blocked the way of the Nine Emperors, and pulled the prince's clothes to be unfavorable to the prince, do you still want to quibble?" Come! Such a sinister minion, drag down and kill with a rod! ”

"What is Sister Xiao anxious about?" The queen mother, who had been watching coldly for a long time, raised her eyelids and calmly looked at Concubine Xiao, who was pale but still calm, and the Nine Emperor Princes, who were busy sorting out their clothes: "Dealing with the slaves in such a thunderous way in front of the palace, didn't you take the serious housewife of the palace in your eyes?" ”
