The Queen Mother said this, but she thought in her heart - the emperor is the sixth son of the emperor, and he has been pampered since he was a child. She and the other concubines fought with each other, and they never let him know. Xu has been protected too well since he was a child, and he doesn't know how to fight and fight in the palace at all.

Although the emperor is benevolent and gentle, he is only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old man in the end. In some things, children are still too heavy-minded.

"But the concubine." Concubine Zhuang paused: "The concubines know that the emperor doesn't like the concubines, and it is because of their father's relationship that they took the concubines into the palace." ”

"Now, the emperor insists on Nasu as a concubine, and as soon as he enters the palace, he is a hundred favors. The concubines saw from afar today, and the palace people of the Internal Affairs Office were about to break the threshold of Jinyun Palace. The concubines are only afraid, and there will be no future in the future. ”

"Virtuous Concubine." The Queen Mother comforted her: "You have to remember your identity." You are the lord of the six palaces, so the Su clan is below you, how can you compare with you? ”

Concubine Zhuang was stunned: "Yes." ”

"The emperor is busy with affairs and has snubbed the virtuous concubine, and the mourning family will remind him." The Queen Mother rubbed her temples and looked tired: "The mourning family told you these words today, and they are also a little tired." Mourning family lunch break, you go back first. ”

"Yes." Zhuang Xianren saluted the Queen Mother and withdrew from Shou'an Palace.

The Empress Dowager worships the Buddha in the early morning, and according to the custom, the first afternoon after the concubine enters the palace, and the afternoon of the fifteenth day of the first month of each month, is to go to the Empress Dowager to say goodbye.

After Su Wenmei finished lunch, she sat in Jinyun Palace for a while, and estimated that the time was almost coming, so she rushed to Shou'an Palace with Bing'er.

In front of the gate of Shou'an Palace, several second-class palace maids guarded.

Bing'er stepped forward and blessed her body: "Concubine Wen came to ask the Queen Mother to say goodbye, and I bothered my sister to spread the word." ”

"Yes." The palace maid at the front heard this, turned around and walked towards the Shou'an Palace, and found Aunt Shu Yun who was guarding outside the dormitory of the Shou'an Palace.

"The Queen Mother." Shu Yun entered the dormitory of Shou'an Palace, and at this time, the Queen Mother was reading a newly obtained copy of the Myoho-renge-kyo. Shu Yun said: "Concubine Wen Niangniang came to ask for peace, and the Queen Mother will meet her." ”

"To see is to see, but not now." The Queen Mother held the scriptures in both hands and put them on the incense table in front of her: "You go and tell her that the mourning family is taking a nap now, so you let her wait outside the palace gate." By the way, it's best to frustrate her sharpness. ”

"Yes." Shu Yun walked out of the dormitory of Shou'an Palace and blessed Su Wenmei: "Concubine Wen, the Queen Mother is worshipping the Buddha, and it is inconvenient to see Niangniang now, I'm afraid that Concubine Wen will have to wait." ”

"Yes. The Queen Mother devoted herself to worshipping the Buddha, and the concubines just waited. Su Wenmei replied.

"I want to come to the palace not long ago, and I haven't learned the posture in the palace yet. Do you know that you have to kneel to see the Queen Mother? ”

Su Wenmei's smile froze, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she was relieved: "Yes." ”

When she went out, she took only Penang with her. Now, the two of them knelt outside the Shou'an Palace, and the palace people who came and went looked a little uncomfortable.

However, even if Su Wenmei knelt, her back was straight, and she was self-contained, like a proud pine. Bing'er also accompanied her, kneeling for about an hour or two. Outside the palace walls, the red glow rose, reflecting her and Bing'er's faces extremely red.

The last time I knelt for a long time, I was outside the main gate, and I knelt for a few hours. At that time, I may have asked for help, and I didn't feel uncomfortable or ashamed, but today I feel inexplicably humiliated.

A soft sigh came out of Bing'er's mouth. Su Wenmei looked at her, couldn't help frowning, and felt sorry for her. Bing'er followed him, who was almost slashed and killed before, and now he knelt outside Shou'an Palace. In the future, I don't know what awaits me.

"Concubine Wen." Shu Yun walked out and came to Su Wenmei's face: "The Queen Mother has finished worshipping the Buddha, Concubine Wen is invited." ”

"Yes." Su Wenmei and Bing'er got up, slowed down a little, and went towards the dormitory of Shou'an Palace.

There was a faint sandalwood in the dormitory of Shou'an Palace, and Su Wenmei entered it and saluted: "The concubine visits the Queen Mother." ”

"Flat." The Queen Mother sat down and said nonchalantly: "Sit down, the mourning family is just right, and I have something to tell you." ”

"Yes." Su Wenmei sat on the seat opposite the Queen Mother.

"Wen Mei, have you ever heard of Concubine Rou in Chonghua Palace in the past?" The Queen Mother asked.

"I've heard of one or two, but the entanglement is not very clear." Su Wenmei answered truthfully, and also guessed the intention of the Queen Mother's questioning.

"In the past, the first emperor favored Concubine Rou and planted a pear orchard in Chonghua Palace for her. When Concubine Rou was alive, the first emperor's favor was even greater.

"The seafood in the south, the birds in the north, as long as it is what Concubine Rou wants, the first emperor will try his best to satisfy her. At that time, Concubine Rou was really beautiful, and everyone in the harem was hot. ”

"The emperor's favor made Concubine Rou the jealousy of the harem. The first emperor died, and Concubine Rou was ostracized in this palace, and she had no place to stand, so she hanged herself. ”

However, only the Queen Mother herself knows that Concubine Rou is favored, but because of her facial features, she has a little bit of Xu Shuyi's shadow. Only by virtue of these similarities, it has allowed her Concubine Rou to be favored in the harem for so many years.

"Historically, the Son of Heaven has been a harem beautie. If you are favored by one person, the harem will be restless and people's hearts will be unstable. The favored woman, stared at by the harem and jealous, how can she be better? ”

"The emperor is kind to you, do you know?" The Queen Mother changed her words, and without waiting for Su Wenmei to answer, she continued to speak to herself.

"Before you entered the palace, the emperor took the initiative to mention to the mourning family to take you into the palace. It is said that a woman of unknown origin cannot easily enter the palace, but the emperor insisted on doing so, and personally selected the Su family for you and entered the family tree, so he entered the palace so justifiably. ”

"But you also have to remember that he is the emperor, so many times, you have to take care of the entire harem. The emperor's mind is on the court, and there are many things that you need to mention. ”

"Yes. The Queen Mother said it very well, and the concubine wrote it down. Su Wenmei's tone was deferential, which made the Queen Mother's heart feel a lot more relaxed. Although Su Wenmei has never learned posture etiquette, her manners and manners make her unable to find mistakes.

The Queen Mother's attitude also softened: "You just knelt outside the Shou'an Palace and knelt down for a little ......"

"The Queen Mother." Cheng Qian's voice came from outside Shou'an Palace, and he trotted into the dormitory of Shou'an Palace: "Queen Mother." ”

Cheng Qian's cheeks were slightly red, panting, and he tried his best not to let the Queen Mother see through it. The little plum behind him also trotted all the way, following Cheng Qian from a distance.

He looked at Su Wenmei, who was saluting him on the side: "What a coincidence." My beloved concubine is also there! ”

"Qian'er, why are you so reckless?" The Queen Mother frowned displeasedly: "The emperor is the emperor, you must pay attention to your behavior at all times." ”

"Yes, it's the son who is in a hurry to see his mother, and it's a little rude." Cheng Qian smiled and sat on the chair next to Su Wenmei.

Shu Yun made hot tea, and Cheng Qian chatted with the Queen Mother and asked some things about the Queen Mother's diet and daily life. also turned around and praised Su Wenmei, I just hope that the Queen Mother can like her more.

The Queen Mother was in a hurry, probably because Su Wenmei was kneeling outside the hall and reaching the ears of the emperor, so he rushed over in such a hurry.

The Queen Mother looked at Cheng Qian's appearance of staring at Su Wenmei, thinking about the words of the virtuous concubine before, and thinking of the appearance of the first emperor in his later years, who favored Concubine Rou, and regretted that she agreed to admit Su Wenmei into the palace that day.

I hope that my son is not an amorous race like the first emperor.

"That's it. Qian'er, you came to Shou'an Palace today, and you have been sitting for more than half an hour. The mourning family has spoken to you for a while, and they are tired, so you should retreat as soon as possible. The Queen Mother rubbed her temples and said to Cheng Qian.

"That son, he took Concubine Wen away." Cheng Qian smiled, saluted, and then protected Su Wenmei with one hand and walked out of Shou'an Palace. I don't know why, when Su Wenmei looked up, she saw a flash of coldness in the eyes of the Queen Mother.

Also, Cheng Qian came for himself today, and his appearance was not at all like his usual calm style, so the Queen Mother must have been angry with her. She thought, walking out quickly.

Cheng Qian walked behind her, and when he walked out of the palace gate, he reached out and held her hand.

"Your Majesty, you ......" There are many palace people coming and going. Su Wenmei was a little embarrassed, and she didn't want the reputation of the emperor's special favor to spread all over the Sixth Palace. She wanted to withdraw her hand from Cheng Qian's hand, but she couldn't.

"Today in Shou'an Palace, what provoked the queen mother and wanted to punish you?" Cheng Qian turned his head sideways to look at the person who was half a head shorter than him, and asked dotingly.

"The concubine doesn't know. The concubine went to ask for peace, and the queen mother said that she was worshipping the Buddha, so I knelt outside the hall. Cheng Qianfeng spoke to her lightly, and she stared at his face and replied.

"Your Majesty, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and the emperor treats his concubines like this, and the concubines are terrified." She wanted to pull her hand out of Cheng Gan's big hand, but to no avail.

"Panic?" Cheng Qian looked at her with a smile, ignored her objections, and stretched out his hand to pick her up: "Then I might as well make you a little more frightened." ”

Bing'er and Xiao Lizi followed behind them, both stunned by such a scene. Cheng Qian's golden crown and golden robe are luxurious with a bit of youthful spirit. He hugged her, ignoring the side eyes of the palace people, and went all the way back to Jinyun Palace.

He put her on a chair and squatted down to look at her: "The palace is no better than the outside of the palace, you have to pay extra attention to what you say and do." He brushed her hair: "I'm really worried that you have angered the queen mother, or the virtuous concubine." ”

"Concubine...... It's already very peaceful. She looked at his worried look and raised her eyebrows and replied.

"Huh. Let you settle down, but I have wronged you? ”

"No, the concubine is just a newcomer, and she is somewhat unaccustomed to it." Back then, she Su Wenmei was also a person who drank spirits and rode strong horses in Huihong. When the Gu family's ready-to-wear shop was busy, she also walked around to help, although she was tired at that time, she was very free, and she seemed full and happy to run every day.
