There are still dozens of steps away from the Zhaoyang Palace, and the concubine heard Caiyue's crying voice begging for mercy from inside: "Queen Mother, it's the slave maid who didn't take care of the princess, it's all the ......slave's fault" Then there was a knock knock, mixed with the sound of the tea bowl breaking.

Concubine Fang had been worried that Caiyue might also be taken captive by those people, but now when she heard her voice, she felt a little relieved and hurriedly ran in.

I saw the eunuchs and maids kneeling on the ground in the hall, all of them prostrate on the ground, and they didn't dare to look up at the queen who was closing her eyes and supporting her forehead on the throne, she was probably very angry, and there were a few wrinkles on her originally well-maintained delicate and smooth skin, even a gorgeous dress could not make her tired face show a trace of brilliance.

This is the queen mother of the concubine, the queen of the Yu country, for the concubine who did not return overnight, she was so anxious that she transferred the royal forest army in the palace overnight to secretly search in Jindu, and at the same time concealed the queen and the queen mother, and waited for the concubine in the palace all night.

"Queen Mother!" The concubine threw herself into the queen's arms, and the tears that had just stopped came again.

The queen opened her eyes, looked at the daughter in her arms, and didn't care about the queen's honor, hugged her concubine tightly, tears fell, and choked up: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back!" "The queen only has such a daughter, and she is naturally very fond of her.

"Princess!" Cai Yue, who was kneeling next to her, was also full of tears, she wanted to say something but didn't say anything, just cried vigorously, and the concubine hurriedly helped her up.

"The daughter is not filial, which makes the queen mother worried," the concubine knelt down solemnly and bowed to the queen. She didn't expect that her departure from the palace this time would cause the queen to be so worried, and she was really unforgivable.

"That's it, the palace won't scold you anymore," the queen helped the concubine up, let her sit beside her, and then retreated left and right, and then took out the phoenix and wiped away her tears.

The concubine sobbed and told the queen what happened last night, and when the queen heard it, her back was cold, and she hugged her in her arms and did not speak for a long time.

It took a while for the two of them to calm down......

"Don't tell your father about this," the queen stood up, and followed her steps in a robe of a hundred birds and phoenixes, and she looked at the plum tree outside, thoughtfully.

"Why can't you tell your father?" The concubine asked stubbornly, although she knew that her father didn't like her, and he hadn't even hugged her once since she was born, but she was his daughter, and she had experienced such a life-threatening thing, how could she not tell him and let him make decisions for himself?

The queen has her own considerations, if she lets the emperor know at this time, I am afraid that the matter will not be resolved, but if she investigates secretly, she may be able to find out one or two, and then hand over the evidence to the queen mother, and the real culprit behind the scenes will not be able to get away with it no matter what.

She knew that nine times out of ten, Concubine Mei's woman did it, in order to prevent the marriage between Concubine Mei and Jiang Yizhi, Jiang Yizhi is the son of Prime Minister Jiang Cheng, in the harem where the mother and son are expensive, the queen only has such a princess, and she has to seek a backer in the court.

"Concubine," the queen did not answer her question, but suddenly asked, "what do you think?" ”

She didn't know why she asked so much, she thought about it, but she really didn't think of a good thing about this person, so she replied: "He likes jokes the most, he is not serious at all, he will only talk to me and bully me since he was a child, not only like to bully me, but also take the four emperor brothers to the Qinglou gambling house to have fun...... In short, everyone in Jin Du knows that he is a disciple! ”

The Jiang family is related to the queen mother, Jiang Yizhi is the son of the prime minister, he has almost grown up in the palace since he was a child, and he often mixes with the princes and princesses, especially with the four princes, and he is also a childhood sweetheart.

It's just that in the eyes of the concubine, this childhood plum bamboo is not a good kind.

The queen frowned slightly, thought for a while, took the concubine's hand, and finally asked, "If you let him be your concubine, will you ...... Would you like to? ”

"Pony?" The concubine was so shocked that she stood up directly from the soft chair.

She just reached the end of last year, the matter of men and women has not yet been enlightened, and she has no intention of getting married, and this person is none other than Jiang Yizhi, although she can't talk about hating him, but when she thinks of facing his hippie face every day for the rest of her life, she really might as well die there last night.

"Queen mother, those delicate and charming women he likes, his daughter really can't do it," the concubine raised her sleeve and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

The queen's face changed slightly, and she handed her the handkerchief in her hand, and said: "Sister, your father's health has not been as good as before recently, he wants to see you get married, and the palace over there has also told him, he will ask your queen mother to marry you in a few days, you can marry with peace of mind, and you can't go out to make trouble again." ”

The queen was bent on promoting their marriage, so she told the prime minister a few times. Zhaoyang's marriage, she shouldn't have opened her mouth to the prime minister, but now that the queen's mother's family is declining, if she can't help her find a good family as soon as possible, so that Princess Mei's Liyang princess will take the lead, once the emperor has something to do, if Concubine Mei's son becomes the emperor, then the queen's words will have no weight, and the marriage of the concubine can only be hastily settled.

The concubine heard that her father's body was not as good as before, and pinched the handkerchief in her hand, her father didn't like her and the queen mother, even if she was sick in bed, she never let their mother and daughter visit and serve, he probably couldn't remember her daughter, where would he expect her to get married!

She is not stupid, although the queen has protected her well over the years, but living in the palace, even if she has not done those intriguing things, she has heard a lot, how can she not know her mother's plans. The queen mother is too pitiful, she has the title of queen all these years, but she does not have the favor of her father, she can't bear to brush her mind.

"The Queen Mother?" The concubine looked at her pleadingly, hoping that she would take back her life.

"This matter has been decided, and in a few days I will come to the palace and ask the Empress Dowager to marry you!" The queen's voice was resolute, and her eyes looked at her concubine calmly.

This is not the queen mother's order, but the queen's order, not to be disobeyed!

The concubine hung her head and couldn't say a word......

In the Changle Palace, the scattered dishes were shattered, and all kinds of delicate snacks were trampled under the feet of Princess Liyang, and she didn't forget to step on it a few more times, her eyes were fierce, staring at the palace maids who knelt in a row and shouted angrily, and shouted angrily: "Get out, you can't even make a few peach blossom cakes, what is the use of this princess?" ”

As he spoke, he kicked a few more palace maids who were closer and drove them out.

Liyang looked at the only piece of peach blossom crisp left on the table hatefully, picked it up, and shook it hard, the crisp cheese immediately turned into powder, and at the same time muttered in his mouth: "Concubine, I didn't destroy you this time, next time, it's no longer as simple as asking you to be innocent!" ”
