When Xiu Guiren heard that it was Concubine Hui who came, he couldn't help but feel a little resistant. After all, just sit down, and before the stool is hot, you have to get up and salute again, which is really enough toss. But when he thought that he was only pregnant with the dragon species, his grace was not stable, and the noble man had to hide his thoughts deeply, and he got up with everyone to salute without delay. "Hui Guifei Niangniang is auspicious."

Gao Lingxi let go of the hand holding Bi Lan, and met the gaze that couldn't tell whether it was a blade or a sharp blade, and walked towards the elegant queen above the main hall, without squinting. So much so that she didn't notice for the first time that the warm joy on everyone's faces was cold and stiff because of her arrival.

"The queen mother is blessed with Jin'an." A well-behaved body, when Gao Lingxi lowered her eyelids, her thick and slender eyelashes just covered the dark blue under her eyes. The palace concubines beside her could only see her peerless elegance, but they couldn't peek into her panicked heart from such a look.

Pan Yu couldn't help but retract her hand into her sleeve, she didn't understand why she was trembling, resentful, afraid, or jealous? One or several emotions are mixed together, she really can't pretend to be nothing! If you can't calm down and deceive people, how can you deceive yourself?

"The concubine doesn't have to be polite." Lan Xin looked at everyone's expressions, and then said gently: "The palace is about to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and you are here, concubine." ”

Because it is the period of mourning, most of the palace concubines' attire is mainly blue, blue and dark. The queen was always simple, wearing only a flag dress of sapphire blue satin, and the embroidered patterns were all ordinary and elegant silk threads, and even silver threads were not used. But Gao Lingxi just felt that the queen was very noble, and her gestures exuded an aura of arrogance that surpassed all things. Because when the queen called her "concubine" very calmly, Gao Lingxi would feel frightened.

"What is borrowing flowers to offer to the Buddha?" Sitting down elegantly, Gao Lingxi's jade wrist lightly stroked his chin, and said with a smile: "Why don't the concubines know." ”

Jin Peizi glanced at Gao Lingxi, hiding the dissatisfaction in her heart. glanced at Su Wanrong again, and saw that she didn't mean to speak, so she smiled and said: "The noble Xiu has been blessed by heaven and has the emperor's flesh and blood." The queen invited the concubine to send her son Guanyin, and gave it to the noble person to give birth to the show, isn't it just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha! ”

While everyone was talking, Gao Xiang had already come to the outside of Changchun Palace.

Xue Guining hurriedly greeted him and said attentively: "Why is Father-in-law Gao here in person, Father-in-law Lao will wait a while, and the slave will go to spread the word." ”

Gao Xiang stopped him, frowned and said: "The queen mother's phoenix body is not in harmony, I still have to go to the imperial doctor, so I won't see the queen mother." Xiao Xuezi, you are the mother of the father-in-law, the queen mother is happy and quiet in her illness, so you don't have to go to Cining Palace to ask for peace today. When the Queen Mother recovers, she will have her own will. ”

"Yes, the slave will go back to the mother." Xue Guining was cautious and polite: "Father-in-law Gao walks slowly." ”

The little eunuch beside him was a little puzzled, and said in surprise: "Grandpa Xue, what's wrong with you, why are you so polite to Grandpa Gao." He hasn't been with the Queen Mother for long, not to mention that if you talk about identity, we are serving the serious master of the harem. ”

Hearing this, Xue Guining's face changed greatly, and he said angrily: "What are you chewing nonsense here, the queen mother is the emperor's mother, and our emperor values filial piety the most." What's more, over the years, the power in the palace has been in the hands of the Queen Mother, if she refuses to let go of power, where is it the turn of this master in our palace to speak. Go away, and don't delay me in replying. ”

In Cining Palace, the Queen Mother held a snow-white big cat in her arms and gently combed its soft long hair.

Yafu looked at the squinting cat, and praised: "The Queen Mother really has a set, and the cats with teeth and claws in your hands have become docile and well-behaved." Where is there still a little bit of wild and uninhibited look. ”

With a slight smile, the Queen Mother stopped, looked at the cat and said, "Jin has sealed the position, and they will inevitably be angry in their hearts." Hurriedly came to say goodbye, wouldn't there be a lot of depression to be pressed on my heart. The mourning family always thinks that Mao'er is easy to comb, but the heart knot is difficult to do. It's just to take advantage of the convenience for them now to polish and polish that wild spirit's temperament. Wouldn't it be better to be docile? ”

"That's what the Queen Mother said." Yafu nodded again and again: "Changchun Palace must be the most lively at this time." ”

Xue Guining replied, and Lan Xin was relieved when he learned that he didn't have to go to Cining Palace to ask for peace. Turning his head to Xue Guining, he said: "Later, the emperor will go to the court, you will personally go to the emperor to show the good news that the noble person is pregnant, and ask the emperor to visit Zhongcui Palace." ”

The noble lady was overjoyed, but she was not frivolous, and hurriedly thanked the queen: "Thanks to the queen's mother and the pure concubine's mother, the concubines are grateful." Now the mother even gave the concubine Guanyin to the concubine, the concubine is really happy, grateful for the queen's kindness, dare not forget. ”

Lan Xin was lenient and said admittedly: "They are all their own sisters, why should you be so polite." This palace is the mother of the child in your womb, and like you, I hope that he will be safe and healthy, and that he will be born smoothly. ”

Gao Lingxi smiled lightly, it was obvious that the noble Xiu was Queen Xie and had nothing to do with her at all. So it doesn't matter if Guanyin was offered by her or not. has become the target of public criticism, and she does not expect these chasms to be easily crossed.

Just at the mention of the Guanyin statue, Su Wanrong became interested and said happily: "Queen Mother, the concubine is happy when she looks at the nobles, and her heart is also happy." But I don't know if the statue of Guanyin worshiped by the concubine can also open the eyes of the sisters. Even if it's a little bit of joy! ”

Qi Qige sneered and swallowed his dissatisfaction, but he couldn't change his sharpness: "The pure concubine has only given birth to the third elder brother for less than a year, and she is looking forward to the second child so soon, so how can we be embarrassed by the sisterhood of those who have never given birth to Lin'er." ”

Lan Xin ignored his words and instructed Jinlan: "Since the Guanyin statue has been invited, let the sisters take a look." ”

Jinlan should be down. Leading two little girls, one holding a brocade box, and the other carefully opened the lid, Jinlan lifted the yellow cloth covering the statue of Guanyin in front of everyone, and held the jade Guanyin in his arms vertically.

Transparent jade, fine carving, in front of everyone's eyes, is a kind eyebrows, good eyes, aura of the nine sons of Guanyin statue.

Jinlan walked slowly and showed it in front of everyone. His hand caressed the delicate and smooth jade, and he was also doubly careful in his heart, for fear that something would go wrong.

When she passed in front of Huang Rui'e, she let out a very strange "huh". Summoned Jinlan to get closer, looked at it carefully and said: "This Guanyin, why did you send the eighth son, why didn't the concubine see where the ninth son was hiding?" ”

When she asked, everyone cast puzzled glances, and they simply counted them.

Jin Peizi was the first to say: "There is a pair in my arms, a pair on my knees, one in my hand, one on my shoulders and one on my back, one in a bottle, and one on my chest, indeed eight." ”

Gao Lingxi's face shook an incomprehensible fear. She clearly remembered that this Guanyin was called Jiuzi Guanyin, which means that there are many sons and many blessings, and it will last for a long time. How could there be one less for no reason, what does this mean? How could such a strange thing happen. Before she could figure it out, she heard the little girl who had just opened the brocade box scream "ah".

Lan Xin's face was no longer as good as Fang Cai, but his tone was still calm: "There are so many masters and little masters here, what's wrong with you, so disgraceful." ”

The little girl had never seen such a scene at all, she was not lightly bluffed, her face couldn't hold back, tears fell down, and she whispered: "Queen Mother, the slave maid found that there is still a jade bead left in this brocade box." ”

"What?" Su Wanrong couldn't believe her ears: "There is a jade bead left, how can it be so strange." As she spoke, she walked over impatiently, picked up the strange "jade bead" in the brocade box, and was immediately annoyed: "What jade bead, this is obviously the ninth son sent by Guanyin, how could it fall?" None of you accidentally damaged the things that the concubine worshipped the queen's mother. ”

Zhilan was greatly annoyed, and saw that the little palace maids were kneeling, but she stepped forward stiffly and carefully inspected the statue of Guanyin, the son in Jinlan's hand. "This send-off Guanyin has been kept in the treasury, and only then did he get the queen's decree, and the slave maid invited out. During the period, he has been cautious and cautious, and there has been no bump, and the accusations of pure concubines and maids are not daring to accept them. ”

Su Wanrong was eager to drill Confucius and let Concubine Hui suffer this loss, but she didn't realize that the trouble was going to the queen first. There was something unpleasant in her heart, Su Wanrong shook her head again and again: "Aunt Zhilan, don't get me wrong, what the concubine said is not what she meant." In the final analysis, it is not the fault of the genius, so when and who did it? ”

Even though she said this, Zhilan's face was still not good: "Things have passed through the hands of so many people, I'm afraid it's not clear." Although the slave and maid have a clear conscience, it is not clear, and it is difficult to ensure that others are not suspicious! ”

Panyu hurriedly stepped forward, took the gift of Guanyin from Jinlan's hand, and held it up to check the light: "This ninth son should be hidden behind the Guanyin robe, because of the special location, it is not easy for people to notice, and it is touching here at this time." ”

Jin Peizi also came to touch it, and called Qiqi and said: "The sea is always there, you can also come and take a look!" ”

Qiqige had a cold face, glanced at the noble man with a dead face, and said regretfully: "It's a good thing, if you don't move it in the library, it won't break by itself, right?" The concubine thought to herself, if it weren't for the fact that the noble lady was pregnant, this statue of Guanyin might have to be left in the library for a long time......"

This has been said very clearly, this thing was given to the queen by Gao Lingxi, if it wasn't for the queen who borrowed flowers and offered Buddha to show nobles, then this unlucky omen was not for the queen.

In a few words, its character clarifies the doubts. first cleared the suspicion of the queen of the middle palace, and then pointed the finger at Concubine Hui to achieve her intended purpose.

Hearing this, Lan Xin almost applauded his qualifications. Is this really the frivolous and empty-eyed Corriet in the former house?
