There will never be peace in the palace, even if it is close to the New Year's Festival, some people are flustered, some people are full of calculations of the city government, and the real joy is only those subordinates, and only those who are far away from the whirlpool of power struggles.

In particular, the closer to the New Year's Festival, the more difficult the people in the East Palace become. Every year, and even more so this year.

The subordinates were all trembling, for fear of saying the wrong word or doing the wrong thing.

Perhaps, it can be thought that the people in the East Palace and other palaces, on the contrary, here, only the people are not happy, the queen, Yan Jinxi, or the queen in ordinary times, Yan Jinxi in ordinary times, indifferent and indifferent, as if they never care about the world.

She's still the same she, no different from usual.

In other words, whether she is there or not with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it makes no difference to the Empress Niang, and when she was in the past, even if she had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at the same table, she would not look up, let alone speak.

The subordinates of the East Palace, especially the old people who have done many years in the East Palace, they are not surprised by this kind of thing. But this year, some newcomers came, and those who didn't know the situation whispered underneath.

Several maids and inner eunuchs who were pruning plum blossoms and hanging red lanterns in the plum garden were talking about the queen and the prince and the emperor at this time.

Although talking about the Son of Heaven, the prince, and the queen should be things that are not allowed or do not conform to etiquette, it is not very restricted to discuss these things in the East Palace.

The reason why few people talked about it in the past few years was because there were no newcomers in the East Palace in the past few years, and those old people had already said it over and over again a few years ago, and they were not angry that there was anything worth talking about again.

Some newcomers have come this year, and these old things in the East Palace are all new and rare things for them, and I heard that the queen is a gentle, virtuous, dignified and generous woman, and it is never an exaggeration to say that the mother is in the world.

But when they arrived in the East Palace and stayed in the East Palace to do things, they suddenly heard that the queen mother was the most indifferent and unkind, and even her only son never took it to heart, and some people even said that the queen mother once said to the emperor that she would not care about His Royal Highness the prince and would not care at all, as long as she was alive, she could do anything.

Where is there a mother who does this? I don't want my son to be well, and I don't even pray that my son will be healthy and happy, the only hope...... Or can't say it's hope, it should be...... The only requirement is to live.

Alive......

Not to mention looking at the whole Huayin, at least in Yaojing and the Gyeonggi area, this requirement or.... Wish? It's all very easy to achieve, not to mention Zongzheng Huashu, who is the crown prince.

It's just that these maids seem to have forgotten that the clouds in the palace are treacherous, and they don't lose the real battlefield at all.

The crown prince - a person with this status, will definitely not starve to death, and there are very few people who die of illness, but what about those who died "accidentally" in the harem and court calculations?

Think about the past, at a glance......

In this Huayin Dynasty, how many princes survived to the day of the enthronement ceremony? Not to mention that there was an emperor before, who died violently due to "excessive excitement" on the day of the enthronement ceremony.

So in the palace, above the court, it's really not easy to live, especially for someone with the identity of Zongzheng Huashu - the prince, Zhenzhen'er is a position that everyone will be blushing at, in order to get it, there are too many conspiracies and calculations and unscrupulous means, even blood can't be seen, and people are gone.

And in order to compete for this position, those who do everything that hurts the heavens and loses their conscience will be stinking for 10,000 years if they are defeated, and they will be spurned by enough people, and they will be famous in history for future generations to admire.

Base.... No one will remember the dead "prince".

"It's not easy to live, in fact, ......." Yan Jinxi listened to the report of the palace maid beside her, and said this leisurely, her face was relaxed and calm, as if she was not affected by those discussions in the slightest.

For Yan Jinxi's reaction, the palace maid was not surprised, always like this, always like this...... I don't feel confused and puzzled.

But she couldn't help but ask Yan Jinxi again, and said, "Niangniang, those palace maids are new this year, and the few inner eunuchs who chew the root of their tongues are all old people, do you need to warn them?" ”

The old people talk about old things, always like to add oil and vinegar to talk nonsense, those few internal supervisors don't necessarily have so much to say on weekdays, it must be a few new palace maids who speak beautifully, and pester them to listen to those things in those years, they have a sense of accomplishment for a while, and they become more and more exaggerated and unscrupulous.

As the only one who followed Miss Yan when she was a child, and later followed Queen Yan into the palace, she was the person who knew Yan Jinxi the most in this palace. Because whether it is Miss Yan or Queen Yan, they are all her masters and the people she knows.

makes people say that the queen is indifferent and unkind, but she doesn't feel so, she has lived in the palace with Yan Jinxi for more than 20 years, what conspiracy has she never seen? To be alive may really be the best and most beautiful prayer. They don't dare to ask for too much.

What's more, in order to give birth to His Royal Highness, Niangniang lost half of her life, and since then, her health has become worse and worse, and she has always heard her cough in the middle of the night recently, and she doesn't dare to ask....

And Your Highness is not the same.... Apathy?

Even if the mother was indifferent to him first, ruthless to him, and didn't care about him, but it was the mother who lost half of her life in October when she was pregnant and gave birth to him. She will always be on Yan Jinxi's side.

In her heart, maybe there will not be a second person better than Yan Jinxi in this world.

"If they like to talk about it, they can just say it, and it's rare that someone wants to hear it again this year." Yan Jinxi replied with a slight smile.

Every time she lets Chen Yan hear these gossip, she must listen to her, not to listen to her small report, but to listen to "herself" gossip, so as to pass the boring time.

The gossip told by others, the protagonist is her.

But to her, it was just other people's gossip.

Or to put it in layman's terms, that is, those palace maids and eunuchs gossip about her, and Chen Yan now tells her the gossip of the palace maids and eunuchs, she doesn't listen to what they say about themselves, but just what they do.

It's also gossip......

It's not bad to listen to it when you're bored and laugh once in a while.

"Niangniang is too good, they bully Niangniang, you have a soft temperament, it's better than talking nonsense, if you put it in other palaces, they dare? If it is Rong Xi......"

Speaking of Rongxi Palace, Chen Yan immediately stopped talking, why did he take Rong Guifei as an example, she really should be beaten! Morning Goose lowered her head.

Yan Jinxi fiddled with the pale red stamens of the plum blossom branches on the side of the pavilion and smiled, "You're right, if it's in Rongxi Palace, Sister Rong will definitely not allow such a subordinate to exist." ”

You're right, it's not sarcasm or displeasure, I just want to tell Chen Yan that there's nothing wrong with what she said, and you can continue.

Chen Yan understood, yes, the spicy and willful woman in Rongxi Palace, her mother hasn't taken it seriously. It's just that...... Who is in her eyes again?

After thinking about it, it doesn't seem to be.

She doesn't care about anyone, not even herself, she has only one request or prayer for all the people she cares about, and that is - to live.
