The Queen Mother, who was so flustered that she was almost in tears, calmed down. Ziyouge stared at Wang Cainu's face: "Evil words confuse the public." The imperial doctors are already rushing over, Wang, if you don't say that you are ugly today, the mourning family will not spare you. ”

"Yes, the concubine frightened the Queen Mother, and the crime deserves death...... Wang Cainu was trembling all over, and she used her fingers to pick the ground to make herself persevere: "The concubine said that there is a problem with the barley cake, but it is just ...... It's just that this pastry is mixed with brown rice, which makes it difficult for Emperor Ji to swallow. ”

With that, she exhaled. Alas, wealth is in danger, this is just the beginning, it's so difficult!

Zhao Shuyuan also quieted down. At this time, several imperial doctors arrived panting, and one of them stepped forward to take the pastry, tasted it a little, and said to the Queen Mother: "It is indeed non-toxic." ”

The Queen Mother finally put her mind at ease and sat down and patted her chest. She is really afraid, she has been searching for the assassins in the palace for the past few months, those gangsters are extraordinary, who knows what other means they will use! And the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is also a good opportunity to do it.

"Wang, did you just say that this pastry is mixed with brown rice?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

Wang Cainu trembled even more: "The Queen Mother spared her life, and the concubine was clumsy, which caused the Queen Mother to misunderstand." The concubine Fang Cai looked at His Royal Highness Changning and couldn't swallow, and covered her throat again, as if she was eating coarse grain. The concubine checked the pastry again, only to find that the barley used in it was not the best ingredient in the palace...... The concubine said a lot without permission, but she didn't want to see Emperor Changning in a dilemma, and asked the queen mother to forgive her sins. ”

The Queen Mother's expression softened slightly. She glanced at Wang Cainu, and then looked at Emperor Changning, her eyes were full of love: "Ning'er, the mourning family knows that you know the general situation and take care of the overall situation." It's just that in the future, if you encounter something like this again, tell the truth, and the mourning family will not blame you. How uncomfortable it is for you to endure it alone. ”

Changning stretched out his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, and the mosquito said "yes".

Zhao Shuyuan pulled her to kneel down and said, "The ancestors love Changning, and Changning doesn't dare to forget the rules. Today, I disturbed the interest of the ancestors' night banquet, whether it was Changning or not. ”

"What's wrong with Changning!" The Queen Mother sighed: "She is only seven years old, and when she grows up and gets married, it is a luxury for you to see her willful and coquettish." Shuyuan, you don't need to be too her in the future. ”

Zhao Shuyuan lowered her head and was silent. After a while, she raised her eyes and glanced at the concubine opposite, and forced the resentment in her heart - this palace is like walking on thin ice everywhere, the concubine has been at odds with herself for a long time, and Concubine Jing, who is in the limelight, is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Changning wants to grow up safely and marry a good man, how easy is it.

How dare she let Changning be willful.

Tuoba Hong's face was still ugly, he reached out and knocked over the plate in front of the fifth prince to the ground, and said angrily: "Chinese New Year's Eve feast, why would you serve a poor meal!" Changning is the proud daughter of the sky, with a noble status, how can she eat such a thing! And this pastry was prepared by the queen mother, how did the food bureau do things, and dared to disobey the orders of the queen mother. ”

Tuoba Hong was a little angry. The Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was not trivial, and the servants in the palace did not do things carelessly, and the ingredients in the pastries served were poor, causing Changning to not eat it, and also made a fuss.

"Your Majesty, it was the concubine who was negligent...... Concubine Jing hurriedly knelt on the ground. She is the one who organizes the night banquet and is in charge of the six palaces, as long as there is the slightest problem, it is her fault.

She didn't expect that in the end, this matter would involve herself. When she raised her eyes to look at the barley pastry, she secretly complained in her heart - all the dishes at the night banquet had been inspected by her personally, and there was no problem. The stewards of the Shangshi Bureau are also her henchmen, and it is impossible for them to do things in secret! And the barley wolfberry cake is exquisitely made, and it is given by the Queen Mother, Fan Yu Emperor, King Zhao and the five princes all find it delicious, but this little master of Changning ......

I have long heard that Emperor Changning is very delicate, and today I really saw it with my own eyes! Even if the food is mixed with brown rice husk, ordinary people can't eat it at all, but she can't eat it when she comes here!

Tuoba Hong frowned and glanced over. He stretched out his hand and pointed to several imperial doctors: "You guys, go and check today's meals one by one!" ”

This Great Qin's harem is really a bit unusual! The royal family is a noble body, and there is no reason to eat coarse grains. In the past, when Empress Xiao was in charge, there had never been such a mistake.

In the end, Concubine Jing is mediocre!

Concubine Jing, who was kneeling, was covered in cold sweat, she understood how serious the matter was this time - although it was just a trivial matter of eating, and it was not poisoning, but this was the first time she had organized a big banquet. Since he took charge of the palace, he has not made great contributions, and he is careful every day to just make no mistakes, but in the end he still makes mistakes.

The emperor will not punish her for such a small thing, but he will be dissatisfied with her, thinking that she is not a capable person!

Several imperial doctors checked the wine and dishes, and after a while, they stepped forward to report: "Not only the barley cake, but also the red bean rice used by the palace masters is also mixed with brown rice." However, these are just some inferior ingredients, and there is no harm to the human body, so the emperor can rest assured. ”

Tuoba Hong became even more angry when he heard this, and turned to point at Concubine Jing: "The good things you did!" The palace procurement is in charge of the Shangshi Bureau, how do you control them? He flicked his sleeves and said, "What a disappointment for me!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Jing hid her face and wept and mourned; "The emperor forgives the sin, the concubine did buy some brown rice, but it was all prepared for the people of the capital in winter. A few days ago...... Yes! Yes, it must have been a few days ago when the soup was groomed, the people at the bottom made a mistake, took the best ingredients outside the palace, and left the brown rice in the storeroom......"

"Enough!" The Empress Dowager was troubled: "The matter of ingredients, wait until tomorrow, today's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, don't mention these messy things!" Concubine Jing, you go back to your seat and sit down, and so are you, Wang. After that, he raised his hand and instructed the palace people to replace the meal, and ordered the new dishes to come up.

The concubines around were afraid to come out, so they sat down and bowed their heads to eat.

The night banquet was boring, and the New Year's Eve was not as lively as in previous years. After the New Year, the concubines all left, and Tuoba Hong ordered people to drive the Changxin Palace and go to the queen's palace to spend the night.

On the second day, the first day of the Lunar New Year, I got up early as usual to greet the New Year. Lin Yuan and the concubines first went to Changxin Palace to kowtow, and then gathered in Changle Palace to talk to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother smiled and smiled, not mentioning the unhappiness of last night, but at noon when everyone was about to leave, she said:

"Since Empress Xiao became seriously ill, Concubine Jing has taken care of the six palaces quite properly, but she is new to it, and she is inevitably weak. From today, Jin Feng Shuyuan Zhao is the right Zhaoyi, and the Huigui concubine Lin is the assistant of the six palaces. ”

At that moment, Concubine Jing's face was whiter than the snow outside the window.

Immediately, a clever concubine smiled and said, "Congratulations to Zhao Zhaoyi, congratulations to Concubine Hui!" The affairs of the harem are complicated, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes and omissions in the management of Concubine Jing alone, and it would be great to have Zhaoyi and your concubine two assistants! ”

Another humanitarian: "Zhao Zhaoyi has been in the palace for eight years, and has a Changning Emperor, who has lived in the palace for a long time, and has rich qualifications, so he must be no worse than Concubine Jing Niangniang." Although Hui Guifei is young, she gave the emperor a good idea last time in order to raise military salaries, which not only got the silver, but also saved the harem sisters from the pain of cutting, which shows that the noble concubine Niangniang is exquisite, shrewd and capable. ”

Zhao Zhaoyi was suddenly sealed, and her mind was suddenly shocked, and she stood stunned for a while before she realized her gratitude. Lin Yuan knelt down and said to the queen mother: "The concubine is scared, the concubine has only been in the palace for two years......

The Queen Mother looked at her with a smile: "You don't have to refuse. Although you are young, the emperor loves you, and you have made meritorious contributions by giving birth to six princes, so why is it not enough to help Concubine Jing? He said to everyone with a calm face: "In the future, Zhaoyi, your concubine and Concubine Jing will be in charge together, which is the will of the mourning family." If anyone dares to disobey, they can't get along with the palace rules! ”

The concubines hurriedly said yes. Concubine Jing was full of despair, and retired with everyone.

When she returned to Huayang Palace, she couldn't help but drop the teacup, and said angrily to the palace people next to her: "This palace didn't check for a while, and there was a mistake at the night banquet, and it actually let the two sluts of the Zhao family and the Lin family take advantage of the loophole!" ”

Zhao Zhaoyi had been in charge of the palace with her before, but at that time, the queen was grounded due to sin, and she was pitied by the emperor when she first recovered from her serious illness. But now...... The Empress Dowager personally ordered the Zhao family to be the assistant, and also ordered the concubines of the six palaces not to be disobedient.

On the face, the concubines are ordered to obey the control, but in fact, they are beating themselves, and they must not fight with the Zhao family and the Lin family!

And Hui Gui Concubine Lin is even more difficult to deal with than Zhao Zhaoyi! Wei Mizhuang had a headache when she thought of Lin Yuan's stunning appearance, she was only seventeen years old, and she got the palace power! In the past, she couldn't get along with herself every day, but now that she is in power, she will be able to toss less in the future!

The palace maids below knelt at Concubine Jing's feet and persuaded her, Concubine Jing was still angry, poured a few sips of herbal tea and said to Ah Liang: "Did you find out what happened yesterday!" Who was behind the scenes and brought the brown rice to the table of the night party! ”

"Hui Niangniang, it is true that I made a mistake when I was giving porridge...... Ah Liang knelt down, looking as sad as Concubine Jing: "It is the practice of the royal family to give porridge in winter, but a few days ago, Lord Zuo Fufeng Liu came to the palace to pick up food, and he moved wrong...... The first few minions at the bottom didn't find out early, which led to mistakes and omissions. ”

"The ingredients of different grades are placed separately, how can you be mistaken!" Concubine Jing was so angry that she patted the case: "Lord Liu, as an official in charge of grain, grass, agriculture and animal husbandry in Beijing, how could he not tell the difference between inferior rice and polished rice, someone must have done something after Lord Liu transported the grain, and quietly replaced!" Besides, the palace just had a mistake in the meal, why was the queen mother so ruthless and seized the power of the palace! ”
