On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Su Ying got up from bed early, and faintly heard a slight "rustling" sound outside, which seemed to be snowing.

If it snows, you won't be able to see the lanterns. She hurriedly put on a big coat and opened the window to look out, it was bright outside, Gong'e and Xiaohuangmen were arranging lanterns, and a huge peony lantern had been placed in the courtyard, which could be lit only at night.

It turned out that it wasn't snowing, so she breathed a sigh of relief, Duanniang heard the movement outside, and brought Gong E in to prepare for her makeup, and when she saw her like this, she began to chatter again:

"Although it is said that the earth dragon is burning, how can the Queen Mother run around on the ground barefoot, if she catches a cold...... Ah, who opened the window, what if it blows the Queen Mother...... Yunluo, why don't you go get some braziers and come in! ”

Obediently, she has long felt that the hall is very hot, if she adds a few more braziers, she will not be able to become the hot meat made by the Shangshan Bureau?

Su Ying grabbed Yunluo and said with a smile: "Duanniang, I opened the window, I don't feel cold, if you put the brazier again, maybe you can smell the smell of meat in an hour or two!" ”

"Nonsense." Duan Niang looked at her with disgust: "Isn't the Queen Mother going out with Princess Shouyang to have fun with the people at night?" It's still early, so let's get a little more sleep and refresh yourself. ”

Su Ying has always been greedy for sleep, but she can't sleep today, she hasn't had a happy birth for five years, and she is very energetic now, where do you still need to recuperate? Duanniang had no choice but to order Gong'e to go down one by one, pass the food to the food, and fetch the water.

There was a bowl of gnocchi for breakfast, and she ate it as soon as she ate it, which was Duanniang's craft, Duanniang said: "The gnocchi was originally to be used at night, but the slave maid thought that Niangniang was not in the palace at night, so she presented it to Niangniang first." ”

Su Ying was naturally very happy, she knew that Duan Niang would never want to go out of the palace with her, so she hugged her hard, promising to buy her a lot of fun and beautiful things tonight, Duan Niang agreed with a smile, and she sat down and started eating.

The gnocchi is her favorite white sugar sesame filling, and osmanthus is added to it, which is hot and sweet, she is easy to blow cold, and as soon as she sends it to her mouth, she can hear the report of the little yellow door outside:

"Empress Dowager Qi, Concubine Wen is holding the fourteenth princess and asking to see her outside."

She was stunned at first, until she heard the name of "Fourteen Princesses", and then remembered that "Wen" was the maternal surname of Mrs. Langya, and after the death of the first emperor, she was no longer a lady, but was named a concubine according to the convention.

The last time I talked to Mrs. Langya was when I was watching the little princess. What is she doing here in such a cold weather?

Su Ying thought that the little doll couldn't stand the cold, and immediately taught Xiao Huangmen to invite Mrs. Langya in, Duanniang frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Concubine Wen doesn't know what she is doing when she comes this time, the Queen Mother is careful in everything." ”

Mrs. Langya really didn't like her very much in the past, but she can understand it very well, she is one of the best beauties in the harem, and she is deeply favored by the first emperor, so she naturally can't get used to being the queen of the flower frame sandwiched between her and the first emperor.

But now that the first emperor has been dead for more than half a year, Mrs. Langya seems to have changed her temperament, and she doesn't think about it.

Duanniang's face was still full of melancholy, Su Ying patted her hand, and was about to say something reassuring, when suddenly a fragrant breeze was blowing in front of her, Mrs. Langya was wearing a rose-purple cloak, holding the sleeping little princess in her arms, and saluted respectfully: "The concubine has seen the Queen Mother." ”

She hadn't seen Mrs. Langya dressed up like this for a long time, and she really felt like a world away: "Hurry up, have you had breakfast?" Come and eat with the mourning family. ”

I don't know why, in front of Mrs. Langya, she can naturally call herself "this palace" and "mourning family", well, maybe Mrs. Langya has her own palace fighting script?

Mrs. Langya did not shirk, took off her cloak, revealed the Yunjin palace dress inside, and sat down beside her, Su Ying was afraid that she would be restrained, so she gave her a chopstick flower with her own hands, Mrs. Langya was honestly afraid: "Thank you Queen Mother." ”

This breakfast was very aggrieved, because Mrs. Langya had been staring at her with a sobbing appearance, and her watery eyes made her heart hairy.

Could it be that the first emperor liked Mrs. Langya very much in the past? Su Ying admired the first emperor in his heart, he was worthy of being the son of heaven, he really had good endurance and good temperament.

The palace people removed the table, and she talked dryly with Mrs. Langya for a while, but she was really embarrassed, so she had to quietly pull Duanniang's sleeve.

Duan Niang understood, and smiled at Mrs. Langya: "The Queen Mother has been busy giving banquets recently, and she is going to be ordered to visit the women, she has been busy for a long time, and today the Concubine came to talk to the Queen Mother, and the slave and maid were very happy to see the Queen Mother." ”

Su Ying never thought that Duan Niang would be more fluent than herself in lying, and couldn't help but want to laugh, but Duan Niang said with a straight face: "The concubine also knows that now in this palace, only you can be regarded as the sister of the queen mother, if the concubine is free, please come over often in the future, don't be unfamiliar with the friendship between sisters." ”

Mrs. Langya was silent for a long time, and said softly: "Duanniang is right, in fact, the concubine came today, and she really wanted to ask the queen mother for something." ”

She was puzzled: "What is the matter with you?" ”

Mrs. Langya's face was sad: "The concubine used to be dull, and she offended the queen mother, but now the concubine has already known her mistakes." She got up and bowed down: "Please also ask the Queen Mother not to be like a concubine." ”

Alas, the people in the palace have always spoken like this, and she patiently asked, "What is the matter?" ”

Mrs. Langya hugged the little princess in front of her and said with tears in her eyes: "Please save the concubine's daughter!" ”

Her words were serious, Su Ying sighed in her heart, she couldn't see anything wrong with the little princess, but she had never given birth to a baby, and she didn't know what it was like for a child to be sick.

Mrs. Langya hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, please rest easy, the princess is not sick, and there is no need to declare the imperial doctor." ”

Su Ying was simply dizzy by her, so she had to listen patiently to her sobbing and choking for a long time, in addition to complaining that the clothes of the Shangyi Bureau were not good, that is, the Shangshan Bureau did not prepare a light meal with less salt for the nurse, and taught the little princess to get on fire, otherwise the little princess had nightmares and cried all night recently.

At the end, Mrs. Langya looked at her with tears in her eyes: "The concubine has been, but the princess is still just a baby, the queen mother is a bodhisattva, don't be like her!" ”

She hasn't seen the little princess a few times, how can she "meet" her?

Su Ying listened to the clouds and was about to ask, but Duan Niang secretly pulled her sleeve, lowered her face and said: "Concubine cautiously, didn't the concubine's words just say that the queen mother has a grudge against you, and deliberately instructed the palace people to treat Her Royal Highness the princess slowly?" ”

Mrs. Langya's face turned pale: "That's not what the concubine meant." She looked at Su Ying with a sad face: "The concubine is just thinking, the queen mother is a blessed person, if the concubine can take the princess to live in the side hall of Changle Palace to serve the queen mother, maybe the princess can also get a touch of the queen mother's blessings." ”

Su Ying understood now, it turned out that Mrs. Langya wanted to move in with her. She doesn't feel that she is blessed, if she is really blessed, where will she live in this big cage, and even liking someone is delusional?

Although she didn't like Mrs. Langya, she hugged the child and begged in front of her with tears in her eyes, which was really hard to refuse. Su Ying was about to say yes, but Duan Niang had already picked up Mrs. Langya:

"The concubine said this seriously, the queen mother loves the princess as her own child, with this heart, even if it is not in front of you, it is a great blessing, don't you say?"

Mrs. Langya's face changed, and she had to whisper: "Yes." ”

Duan Niang said with a smile: "The concubine is a reasonable person, so she naturally knows the queen mother's mind." If the concubine thinks that the Qingsi Palace is not good, she can ask the queen mother to give an order and teach the court to choose a suitable palace for you to live in. ”

Although she is not smart, she also knows that Duan Niang is moving Pei Zhao out to oppress people. This trick was really effective, Mrs. Langya wiped her tears and said, "The concubine lives well in the Qingsi Palace, so don't worry about the Queen Mother." ”

After Mrs. Langya left, Su Ying really felt uneasy in her heart. Pei Zhao has no children, and the two youngest children in this palace are all from the first emperor, one is the fourteenth princess and the other is Pei Ming. She is a queen mother, and she doesn't even know about their current situation, which is really dereliction of duty.

Thinking of this, Su Ying felt guilty in her heart, and she asked Duan Niang: "Am I too ridiculous, I only care about my own happiness every day, and I don't want to go to see Pei Ming and them." ”

Duan Niang hurriedly said: "Don't say that the Queen Mother, Concubine Wen must have ulterior motives when she came this time, and the Queen Mother should not follow her way." ”

Although Su Ying had read some palace fighting scripts before, she really couldn't figure out the twists and turns. Anyway, she still felt that she was too disagreeable, so she immediately ordered someone to send a lot of rewards to the Qingsi Palace, and taught someone to bring Pei Ming over.

The child grows up very quickly, she hasn't seen Pei Ming for a few months, he is much taller, with a round face that is white and chubby, very cute. Pei Ming was wearing a cyan brocade robe, which really looked like a green tuanzi presented by the Shang Palace Bureau, this round green tuanzi ran to her happily with short legs, and called sweetly: "Queen Mother!" ”

Although she is not used to being called her queen mother, Pei Ming is so young, it is much better to listen to him than to listen to Pei Zheng and them, so she immediately agreed with a smile.

The night gradually sank, the peony lantern in the courtyard had been lit up, emitting some colorful light, Pei Zhao stood with his hands in his hands, waited in front of Changle Palace for a while, and saw Su Ying walking towards him with a small body in one hand.

"How long have you waited, is it cold?"

Her face was abnormal under the shadow of the lamp, he glanced at her with a smile and asked, "Why is Pei Ming also there?" ”

Aman was very clever, and immediately dragged Pei Ming to salute Pei Zhao, Su Ying smiled: "He and Aman played in Changle Palace for an afternoon today, and the two of them fell in love very much, so I simply brought them along." Asked: "Ah Ming is so young, will you take a child?" ”

Pei Zhao smiled and shook his head: "I won't take children, but there are people in this palace who can take children." ”
