Hua Qingrao showed an extremely disdainful smile on her face, and turned her head sideways and instructed Jinlan Dao: "Go and bring me the list I have made." ”

She turned her head, and the smile on her face was even stronger, "I'm bothering you to take a break one by one." ”

Without waiting for Gao Qixuan to speak, she pretended to be angry: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't you go and inform the palaces quickly!" ”

"Yes." Jinlan did not hesitate at all, turned around and led Hui Ping and Jin Ping out.

As soon as she left the palace, Hui Ping hurriedly stopped Jinlan and said tentatively: "Auntie, do we really have to follow Niangniang's wishes?" Then the emperor's side..."

Jinlan turned her head and looked at her lightly, "Where are you on duty?" ”

Hui Ping was a little confused, and said in a daze: "Weiyang Palace." ”

Jinlan immediately asked again, "Who is the master of Weiyang Palace?" ”

Hui Ping lowered her eyes and whispered, "Queen Mother." She jerked her head up to argue, "But..."

Jinlan interrupted quickly: "Since the queen mother is our master, then we can't disobey her words." If the emperor punishes it, it is also our life, and we must suffer it. DID YOU KNOW? ”

Hui Ping nodded as if she didn't understand, but Jinping looked excited, she probably had never seen the iceberg-like emperor deflated.

In Weiyang Palace, Gao Qixuan's iceberg-like cold eyes stared at Hua Qingrao without speaking, and after a long time, he said without being salty or indifferent: "Even if it is a stone, there is a hot day, I am waiting." ”

Hua Qingrao smiled, "You better go and warm up the concubines one by one first!" ”

She glanced at the moonlight outside the window, "It's not too early, you can't finish cooking if you don't move." ”

Gao Qixuan glanced at her coldly, said no more, and turned to leave.

The chamberlain beside him looked at Hua Qingrao's smug face and sighed faintly. Every time I come to the queen's mother's place, the emperor's face that has not moved for thousands of years must be a big wave.

He quickly kept up with Gao Qixuan's pace, and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, which lady are you going to?" ”

Gao Qixuan turned his head and struck a sharp eye knife, which frightened him to immediately freeze in place, trembling and not daring to move.

Gao Qixuan glanced at him, turned away with a gloomy face.

The chamberlain's legs trembled, as if he had picked up a life, gasped a few times, and quickly followed.

Since the first day of the new year, Hua Qingrao has been waiting for the first day of the next month.

If nothing else, the first day of the new month should be the day when King Qi and the Queen Mother agreed to meet. If Gao Qixuan sees it that day, I'm afraid that I can't tell it with eight mouths.

But how do you find a valid reason to go?

On the twenty-sixth of this month, Hua Qingrao was bored and strolling around the yard, although the summer had quietly slipped by, but the flowers were still blooming.

This is the difference between Beiyan and Daliang, if you are in Daliang at this time, you must have changed into thick clothes. Still, she shivered from the cold.

A sharp woman's voice sounded: "Kneel down for this palace!" But you just kicked the ball? ”

The moment Hua Qingrao heard it, she heard who the speaker was, after all, in this Beiyan's harem, the one who dealt with her the most was Concubine Hui.

She walked over, and saw Concubine Hui glaring angrily at a child in front of her who was less than her waist height. Hua Qingrao took a closer look, and the child turned out to be the fourth prince.

The fourth prince was looking at Concubine Hui with a pair of frightened eyes at the moment, and his white little face was full of self-blame and guilt.

Hua Qingrao covered her mouth and smiled softly, "Concubine Hui really didn't see her before she heard her voice!" ”

The anger on Concubine Hui's face had not faded, and her gaze when she turned her head to look at her was even more unkind, and she refused to give up and sneered: "Queen Mother, it's really where there are so many people to drill where!" ”

Without waiting for Hua Qingrao to speak, a woman came in a hurry not far away, hugged the fourth prince, checked his body up and down with anxious eyes, and the beads of sweat on his head flashed in the sunlight.

"Where did you go?" She frowned and complained in a trembling voice.

The fourth prince lowered his good-looking eyes guiltily, "Mother, it's the son's fault." ”

The woman took him in her arms as if it were a treasure and said softly, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Concubine Hui looked at this scene of mother and son's filial piety, and felt very dazzling, and said sarcastically in a cold voice: "An Chang's eyes are really good here, I can only see the four princes." ”

An Changzai let go of the four princes in a panic, glanced at Hua Qingrao and Concubine Hui, knelt on the ground in a panic and said, "The concubines see the two maidens." ”

The fourth prince looked at Concubine Hui nervously, and said to An Chang in a hesitant voice: "Mother, the retainer accidentally hit Concubine Hui while playing with the ball." ”

An Changzai's face immediately changed drastically, this Concubine Hui is pregnant is something that the whole palace knows, if something happens, even if the lives of their mother and son are put into it, it will not help!

"How can you!"

She suddenly thought that it was useless to blame the four princes at this moment, so she hurriedly kowtowed to Concubine Hui and apologized: "Niangniang, the four princes are still young and ignorant, please forgive your sins!" ”

Concubine Hui's face immediately showed sarcasm, "Small? Not sensible? An Changzai will really find a reason! No wonder the four princes will grow into such an uneducated appearance! ”

The maid beside her immediately echoed: "Niangniang, how can the child of this slave girl of the Huanyi Bureau still have such a thing as upbringing!" ”

An Chang's face turned a little paler, she bit her lip and forced back the tears lingering in her eyes, "Is it the concubine who taught it, and ask the mother to forgive her sins!" ”

The fourth prince stood in place in a daze, watching his mother concubine keep lowering her figure and begging others for herself, and her black grape-like eyes were also full of mist.

He pounced on his knees and said in a childish voice: "Concubine Hui, everything is the fault of the son-in-law, the son-in-law is willing to bear this fault, and please don't implicate the mother-in-law of the son-in-law." ”

Hua Qingrao looked at him with implied approval in her eyes, a child who is still immature knows that he will protect his mother like this and take on his own responsibilities, and he will definitely have a great future in the future.

Hui Ping, who was beside her, suddenly came to her side and said cautiously: "Niangniang, when the slave went back to get something just now, I happened to see it." The ball of the four princes is still far away from Concubine Hui, and it didn't hit Concubine Hui, but Concubine Hui should have been a little frightened. ”

The moment Hua Qingrao nodded, Concubine Hui gave an order: "Come on, the four princes plotted to kill the emperor's heir, An Chang has no way to teach his son, and he will be punished with twenty canes in the palace." ”

The palace people immediately surrounded him, and An Changzai and the four princes were all shocked.

An Changzai knelt on the ground and begged for mercy with a crying voice: "Niangniang, the fourth prince is too small, how can his body afford these twenty boards, and I implore Niangniang to punish only one concubine." ”

As soon as the fourth prince heard this, he immediately said in a loud voice: "Mother concubine! No! Your body is just right, how can you withstand these 20 boards! Let's come on! ”

Hua Qingrao looked at the palace people who surrounded the mother and son at once, and said lightly: "I haven't spoken, how can I allow you to be presumptuous." ”

Her voice was neither high nor low, just enough to reach everyone's ears.

Everyone stopped moving, turned their heads to look at the faint smile on Hua Qingrao's face, and inexplicably felt that there was an indescribable sense of oppression in this smile.

Concubine Hui looked at Hua Qingrao, and said coldly: "What does the queen mean?" ”
