"Queen Mother, my sister is a little thirsty, I don't know if I can ask the Queen Mother for a cup of tea?"

Long Ning half-leaned on the beauty, turned his eyes to Su Yi, and touched his lower abdomen, "Moreover, my sister suddenly wants to drink fruit tea, and I don't know if my preferences have changed, or the child in my womb wants to drink, hehe, trouble the queen, okay?" ”

Su Yi was stunned, she originally wanted to refuse, in this snowy weather, she came to enjoy the snow, and only prepared clear tea, where is the fruit tea? Long Ning made it clear that he was embarrassed for her!

But turning her head to look at Long Ning with a thirsty look, Su Yi didn't want her to sue Nangong Qing, so she could only helplessly turn her head and say to Ruyi next to her: "Concubine Yao wants to drink fruit tea, you go and get it yourself, this palace can rest assured." ”

After getting the order, Ruyi couldn't do it, he left the pavilion after saluting, and came back after a while, carrying the hot tea in his hand, walked to Su Yi's side, and made tea for Su Yi with a teapot.

Looking at the blue and white porcelain teacup on Su Yi's table, Long Ning said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the queen mother likes to drink tea, but she specially concocts fruit tea for her sister, and my sister is really scared." ”

Naturally, he heard the smugness in Long Ning's words, but Su Yi didn't say anything, just nodded towards Ruyi, who put the teapot on the table and retreated.

The little palace maid on the side wanted to bring another cup of fruit tea to Long Ning, but she didn't know how, the teacup fell directly to the ground, and she was frightened and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Niangniang spare your life, Niangniang spare your life......"

"Forget it, clean it up, and let Ruyi bring another teacup." Su Yi had a good temper and was not surprised, comforted the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground, asked her to clean up the broken teacups, and took the scum down.

Ruyi took a teacup again and put it in front of Concubine Yao, poured tea again, and then retreated.

"The queen mother is really good-tempered, such a clumsy minion, if it is this palace, at least she will be responsible." Long Ning picked up the cup with a smile and was about to drink it, when suddenly the handkerchief fell to the ground, and the pearl on the side wanted to pick it up for her, but was stopped by Long Ning: "Things in this palace, I don't like others to touch them, Yuhu, you pick them up for this palace." ”

"Yes, Concubine Yao." It's not good, Pearl is full of unhappiness, but she can't.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of Yuhu to pick up the handkerchief, he attracted the attention of Su Yi and everyone, but Long Ning's hand reached behind his back, pinched some of the soil in the cedar bonsai behind him, and put it in the fruit tea cup in front of him without a trace.

Her hands and feet were extremely fast, and no one noticed it at all, and when Yuhu picked up her handkerchief, Su Yi also turned her head to look at her, but she didn't notice Long Ning's small movements before.

Holding the teacup, Long Ning chuckled and said, "It's cold, and it's refreshing to drink a cup of hot tea." With that, he lifted the lid of the teacup.

Su Yi didn't care about these details at all, and said to Concubine Yao: "It's true, it's just that Concubine Yao's sister is pregnant, so you must be careful." ”

"Don't worry, my sister will take care of herself." Long Ning smiled and was about to take a sip of tea, but the teacup stopped at his lips.

Su Yi looked at Concubine Yao with some confusion and asked, "What's wrong, but you feel hot?" ”

His face changed, Long Ning sneered, put the teacup on the stone table, looked at Su Yi and said, "Queen Mother, I just asked you for a cup of tea, why do you want to treat me like this?" Didn't I really offend the queen's mother, so the mother ordered her subordinates to hurt me like this? ”

Being questioned by Concubine Yao like this, Su Yi was even more confused, and her eyes were full of doubts: "Sister Yao, what are you talking about?" ”

"Why don't you see for yourself what is in this teacup!" Long Ning said, and pushed the teacup in front of the queen.

There were some things in the teacup, the tea was turbid, and the color was obviously wrong, Su Yi carefully identified it, and found that it was dirt inside, and immediately frowned.

"This ......" Su Yi glanced up at Concubine Yao, then turned her head to look at Ruyi behind her, and asked, "Ruyi, what's going on?" ”

Ruyi naturally glanced at the teacup, she didn't know that this kind of thing would happen at all, and she suddenly felt bad, and quickly knelt on the ground to argue: "Queen Mother, the slave doesn't know......"

"Don't know?" Directly interrupting Ruyi's words, Long Ning patted the stone table angrily and sneered: "A little palace maid actually deliberately put soil in the teacup so that the palace will have diarrhea after drinking it, what kind of heart do you have?" Queen Mother, I can't imagine that the palace maid next to you is so vicious, if others don't know, I'm afraid they will think that the queen mother instructed her to do it, and the mother will punish her well! ”

Such a charge was deducted, Ruyi shook her head in fear, she would not admit this charge, disrespectful to nobles, Long Ning still has a dragon heir in her belly, and she is equivalent to conspiring to kill the prince, this is a capital crime!

Frightened, he kowtowed again and again, and knelt beside Su Yi with Ruyi, his voice trembled: "Queen Mother, the slave maid doesn't have it, the slave maid really doesn't have it......"

"Ruyi, did you really do this kind of thing, what the hell is going on?" Su Yi knew that Ruyi would not do this, but now that the evidence is conclusive, the teacup is muddy, and there is mud, this is a fact, and she doesn't know how to excuse Ruyi.

Hearing Su Yi's scolding, Ruyi shook his head vigorously, even if the bun was messy, he couldn't take care of it: "Queen Mother, there is no slave!" This tea is the fruit tea designated by Concubine Yao, and the slave maid specially chose the nourishing longan red date tea, and the slave maid made it by herself! How to serve tea to the queen, how to serve tea to Concubine Yao, how dare you mess around. ”

"The evidence is conclusive, and I'm embarrassed to quibble!" After hearing Ruyi's words, Yuhu, the palace maid beside Concubine Yao, stepped forward, pointed at Ruyi and scolded loudly: "If it weren't for our mother to see it, I'm afraid I would really drink it!" Are you responsible for the accident? ”

Concubine Yao on the side heard Ruyi's words, and Yin and Yang said strangely: "A little palace maid naturally doesn't dare, but ...... If someone secretly instructs ...... behind your back"

Before the words were finished, Ruyi hurriedly opened his mouth to deny: "Concubine Yao, the slave didn't do it, why do you have to wronged the slave and maid?" ”

"Dare to talk back? You didn't do it, could it be that you mean that Concubine Yao put the soil in the teacup by herself? Yuhu's voice was sharp and his face was not good.

How could Ruyi admit this kind of rebellious words: "Slave maid doesn't mean this......"

At this moment, a gentle and hearty voice came from a distance: "What's the matter, it seems to be very lively?" ”

I saw that Nangong Qing had a long body and a jade body, and he had already appeared outside the Yuxue Pavilion, and walked in front of everyone in two steps, Su Yi and Long Ning hurriedly took the palace maids beside them to salute: "Participate in Your Majesty." ”

Nangong Qing waved his hand, asked everyone to get up, and sat down at random, then raised his head and looked at the two, smiling gently: "If I hadn't heard that you were in the Imperial Garden, I wouldn't have come, the queen, and Concubine Yao, you two don't warm up in the house on a cold day, how can you still have the heart to go out?" ”

As soon as Su Yi wanted to answer, Long Ning walked gracefully in front of Nangong Qing, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, the concubine heard that the queen mother is enjoying the snow in the imperial garden, and she has not been out of the house for many days, since the snow scene is very beautiful, the concubine may as well come and enjoy the snow with the queen mother, it is also interesting." ”

"You!" Nangong Qing took Concubine Yao's hand and chuckled, "You are inconvenient, and you like to come out in such cold weather, if this is freezing my son, I am the only one who asks!" ”

Long Ning smiled shyly, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, what do you say, Your Majesty's child is also the child of the concubine, how can the concubine be willing to treat him coldly." ”

Nangong Qing smiled, but didn't answer her words, but turned his head and asked Su Yi, "By the way, what happened here just now?" Why did I hear a palace maid crying? ”

Seeing Nangong Qing asking, Su Yi knew that she couldn't be perfunctory, so she could only explain: "Back to Your Majesty, it was Concubine Yao's sister who saw soil in the teacup when she was drinking tea just now, and said that it was the concubine's palace maid Ruyi put it in, and Ruyi said that she didn't put it, so the dispute started." ”

Glancing at Ruyi who was kneeling on the ground, Nangong Qing's face sank, and he asked, "Did you put the soil in Concubine Yao's cup?" ”

Ruyi hurriedly shook her head, if she admitted this matter, she would definitely be killed, she panicked: "Back to Your Majesty, the slave maid didn't put soil into Concubine Yao's teacup, there were palace maids and eunuchs watching all the way, how could the slave and maid do this?" ”

Before Long Ning could speak, Yuhu on the side said mockingly: "Who knows if you want to rectify our Yao Concubine Niangniang, Yao Concubine Niangniang is kind-hearted, so I didn't punish you for your crime, I didn't expect you to admit it." ”

"Your Majesty, Ruyi is not such a person...... Su Yi just wanted to open his mouth to intercede for Ruyi, but Long Ning had already said aggrievedly: "The concubine doesn't know who she is provoking, but she came out to accompany the queen to enjoy the snow scene, and she can be rectified by a palace maid like this." ”

"Okay, Concubine Yao, don't worry, I will make the decision for you." Nangong Qing stroked Concubine Yao's hair, her eyes were gentle, "Don't go out in such a cold weather in the future, what should I do if I freeze my body?" ”

Long Ning nodded, with a smile on his face, Nangong Qing then set his eyes on Ruyi, who was kneeling on the ground: "Since the tea was made by you, even if it wasn't intentional, it was an unintentional mistake, Concubine Yao is pregnant, and you slaves don't know how to serve carefully, for the sake of the queen, I will spare you the death penalty!" Come on, drag this palace maid out to me and hit the thirty boards! ”

"Your Majesty!"

Su Yi hurriedly opened her mouth to stop her, "Ruyi has been following the palace for two years, Your Majesty will spare her!" She is a woman, how can she bear these thirty boards, Your Majesty, you want her life! ”

Nangong Qing's face softened a little, but he still said: "Queen, you are just too merciful, the palace maid is not serious about doing things, and you are still so indulgent." This time Concubine Yao found out, what if she doesn't find it next time? Even if it's not for Concubine Yao, this kind of palace maid follows you, you don't need to worry! ”

"Thirty boards are exempt, and twenty canes are punished! Don't plead! ”

After speaking, Nangong Qing stood up, hugged Concubine Yao in his arms, and asked softly: "Since it's okay, go back and ask Imperial Doctor Li to check your pulse and see how it is." ”

Long Ning leaned into his arms with a shy face and nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Seeing the affection between the two of them, Su Yi seemed to want to open her mouth to intercede for Ruyi, but before the words came out, she heard Long Ning raise her head and say in a coquettish voice: "Your Majesty, the concubine feels a little cold, why don't we go back." ”

Nangong Qing nodded: "I just said, don't go out on this cold day, go back to the palace." ”

Then the eunuch's sharp voice said: "Drive back to the palace-"

"Mother." Pearl palpitated, glanced at the back of His Majesty leaving, and called out to her softly.

Su Yi came back to her senses at this time, looked at the palace maid beside her, and put away the loneliness and disappointment in her eyes. Today she fought against Long Ning for the first time, but she lost. It seems that His Majesty likes her no matter how much she likes, but Long Ning is pregnant after all, and it is not something she can compete for at present.

She sighed and said, "You go and see how Ruyi is, you must not let those people really take a heavy hand." ”

Pearl quickly turned around and left, while Su Yi was still standing in place, looking at the direction in which Nangong Qing left, and didn't come back to her senses for a long time, as if she was standing like a sculpture, motionless.
