Today's queen is the emperor's wife, the two are five years apart, and they are not abnormal in love, but they are also respectful and have never blushed. It's too angry.

The queen mother and the emperor are of the same age, but because of proper maintenance, the queen mother looks only about thirty years old.

It's just that the queen mother frowned at this time, adding a little anxiety and anger to her magnanimous bearing.

Because, the queen's most cherished glass ornament was shattered, and it was no longer possible to see the original appearance, at first glance, I thought it was a pile of ice ballast that fell to the ground, dirty and messy.

"Who is it?" Under the seemingly calm voice of the queen mother, but the anger and grief that could not be concealed no matter what, she turned to look at everyone suddenly, gritted her teeth again and asked, "Who is it?" Who broke the glazed ornaments of the main palace, who is it?! ”

This ornament is still a tribute to the small western countries in the early years, but then the small countries gradually prospered, and they no longer paid tribute over the years, so the whole country is the only one, the emperor himself endured the pain and gave it to the queen, so the queen regarded this ornament as a treasure over the years, which is not only a precious ornament, but also the emperor's mind.

But now, this ornament is inexplicably broken.

No one dared to respond during the banquet, they all lowered their heads and went silent, even the concubines who loved to sarcastically mock the queen in the past were silent, not to mention those minions who looked at the concubines with their horses.

Seeing that no one in the room responded, the queen calmed down and asked, "Who was the first to see this broken ornament, and who was the first to come to this main hall?" Don't say it yet! ”

Xiao Man was shocked, and subconsciously looked at the queen mother on the main seat, she and Xia Wanrou were the first to come here, but at that time she didn't notice that there were broken things in the house, according to the queen mother's meaning, wouldn't she doubt herself......

was worried in her heart, Xiao Manhu met the queen's gaze, there was a raging anger in those phoenix eyes, her body stiffened, and the whole person stayed in place, and she didn't react for a long time.

It wasn't until Xia Wanrou secretly took her hand and shook it, signaling her to kneel, that Xiao Man suddenly came back to his senses, knelt down with great effort, and lowered his head to avoid the queen's scrutiny.

"The queen mother, the concubine and Mrs. Lu were the first to come, but we didn't find anything unusual in the house at that time, your palace maid led us to the main hall, and we have been sitting on the seats, never moving around, and ask the queen mother to see."

Xia Wanrou is worthy of being a girl from a big family, and in the face of such a situation, she can still be in danger, and her tone is neither humble nor arrogant, so that people can't find the slightest fault.

Xiaoman lowered her head, staring at the patterns on the carpet, her brain was blank, she could clearly hear every word Xia Wanrou said, but when it was put together, she didn't understand what it meant.

She was about to be surrounded by such a serious, tense atmosphere and couldn't think.

The originally quiet room suddenly let out a low humming that could not be lower, although the sound was very low, but in this quiet main hall, it was still clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.

And, of course, the Queen Mother.

"Guifei, what are you laughing at?" She kept a straight face, and there was a slight impatience in her eyes.

The concubine, who was gorgeously dressed and second only to the queen, stood up, first glanced sideways at Xiao Man and Xia Wanrou who were kneeling on the ground, and then turned around and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, it's just an ornament, now the wife of the general of Zhenguo is still pregnant, look, with such a big belly, why do you let her kneel on the ground all the time?" ”

Hearing this, the queen coughed lightly twice, beckoned with a dark face, "Help Mrs. Lu to get up and give me a seat." ”

Xiao Man got up, subconsciously wanting to pull Xia Wanrou's hand, wanting the other party to get up with him.

But as soon as Xiao Man stretched out his hand, the lazy voice of the concubine suddenly sounded in front of him, "The queen asked Mrs. Lu to get up, but she didn't let Mrs. Wei get up, right?" The Queen's Mother. ”

There is a thick carpet on the ground, and it is also thicker because of the winter and summer, but kneeling on the ground in front of everyone, and having to hang your head to answer, this is not only an uncomfortable thing, it is a matter of dignity.

Xiao Man secretly raised his eyes to look at the queen mother, and wanted to plead for Xia Wanrou, but before she could speak, she heard Xia Wanrou, who was still kneeling on the ground, say: "Queen Mother, the concubine has a clear conscience, so even if she kneels, it doesn't matter, as long as you can help the queen mother find out the person who destroys your beloved things, the concubine can kneel for as long as you want."

In a word, not only to show the queen his innocence and sincerity, but also to imply that Xiao Man should not intercede for himself, Xiao Man's hand that had stretched out his sleeve couldn't help but retract again, and he had to be obediently supported by his subordinates to sit on the chair.

"Bengong asks again, who was the first to find that the glass ornament was broken?" The queen's face was much better than Fang Cai, Xu had calmed down, and it could be judged from her tone that at this time, she was more angry than Fang Cai.

There was silence in the room for a while, and a thin little girl came out from the back of the crowd, kneeling on the ground with her head down, "If you go back to Niangniang, you are the first concubine...... The first person to see the broken glass ornament. ”

The queen had a calm face, "Why didn't you say it?" ”

"The concubine is afraid... The concubine was timid, so she didn't dare to stand up, and asked the queen to punish her! As she spoke, the woman suddenly began to kowtow, and it was not until the queen stopped that she raised her head in a trance, and answered a few questions with her bruised forehead.

Left and right couldn't ask anything useful, and the queen became more and more upset.

Seeing that Xia Wanrou was still kneeling on the ground, the queen sighed, raised her hand to signal people to get up, and then said with a wooden face: "Everyone will go to the plum garden by themselves first, and the palace will change clothes, and we will arrive later." ”

After saying that, the queen turned around and went to the dormitory to change her clothes.

An inexplicable interrogation that began inexplicably ended, Xiao Man grabbed Xia Wanrou's hand with palpitations, lowered his voice and asked, "Sister Wanrou, are you okay?" This knee can still walk, or let the red jade hold you, be careful that the road slips and falls. ”

"Out of the way." Xia Wanrou smiled softly, but she couldn't hide her ugly face.

It's always a little strange today, and I hope nothing strange happens next.

Because the queen loves plum, so Yichun Palace is very close to the plum garden, and the group walked half a cup of tea to arrive, the original gloomy weather has also turned clear at this time, the bright sunlight is sprinkled on the crystal clear snow, with the red plum that is open and open, it is very beautiful.

A gust of wind blows, and the plum blossoms fall with snow, which is like a beautiful scenery.

Such a beautiful scenery, but the nervous Xiao Man breathed a sigh of relief, she and Xia Wanrou walked at the end of the crowd, and there were not so many people watching, Xiao Man was a lot more relaxed, she pointed to Xia Wanrou from time to time to the plum blossoms in the distance, the two of them whispered and laughed, very comfortable.

As Pearl said, the so-called plum blossom appreciation will never let this delicate lady and concubine stand in the snow for too long.

The team led by the concubine soon turned into the warm pavilion in the plum garden, which was built by the emperor himself for the queen, the purpose of which was to let the queen enjoy the plum blossoms in this winter.

Everyone went up to the top floor of the warm pavilion, and the palace maids burned the charcoal in the house enough, even if the windows were open, there was no cold in the house, and from the open windows, they could just see the scenery of the plum garden.

Because the queen has not yet arrived, the concubine wants to be lazy, she is a person who does not like to follow the rules, and naturally she will not restrain others, so at this time, people gather together in twos and threes, standing by the window and watching the scenery of the plum garden.

Xiao Man happily pulled Xia Wanrou to a great place to watch, and excitedly pointed to the large cluster of plum trees in the farthest place, "Sister Wanrou, look, the one in the distance is better-looking, there are more flowers, and the colors are more gorgeous." ”

Xia Wanrou smiled faintly, and was about to speak, when a contemptuous laugh suddenly came from behind her: "It's really a country girl, even looking at a plum blossom, I think the more beautiful the better, it's really cheesy." ”

The two of them turned around together, looking at Concubine Liang holding a handkerchief and chuckling, even if there was a hundred thousand anger in their hearts, they had to forcibly suppress it.

She is the person next to the queen's mother, the glass ornament was accidentally broken, the queen mother was upset, and she was suspicious of the two of them, if she offended the concubine again at this time, wouldn't it be deliberately unpleasant?

Yes, Xiao Man just bowed slightly, "The concubine's vision is narrow and her aesthetics are vulgar, which makes the concubine smile." ”

As soon as the words fell, the concubine on the side suddenly laughed insolently, "Concubine Liang, I said that you can't speak anymore, what is the aesthetic of this Zhenguo general's wife, and it is your turn to give advice?" Right now, General Lu is fighting against the barbarians on the front line, but you are laughing at his wife here, I don't know what General Lu, who has always been protective of, will think of you when he hears about this. ”

Concubine Liang's face turned dark, and she was about to argue, but the concubine came over, pulled Xiao Man's hand over and patted it twice to show comfort, "Mrs. Lu, don't be afraid, this Concubine Liang is like this, she talks sour all day long, you must not worry about her." ”

As she spoke, the concubine looked at Xia Wanrou again, with a kind face, "Mrs. Wei, I heard that you and Mrs. Lu have a very good relationship, and this palace is very pleased. ”

Xia Wanrou had to smile in agreement, but she didn't dare to say anything more.

The concubine has been very favored by the emperor in recent years, and her mother's family has also become powerful, her Xia family has always been indisputable, and the concubine's father also went to the Xia Mansion before, intending to envelop Xia Wanrou's father, but unfortunately she was rejected by Xia's father on the spot, and now the concubine is showing favor in front of everyone, I don't know if it is also for this matter?

Everything is a little weird today, Xia Wanrou is always restless, and there is no way not to think about it.

"The Queen Mother has arrived—"
