The Queen Mother's face was scornful, and she couldn't get off the stage. But she is trying her best to pretend to be a loving mother.

"The mourning family is just worried that you have just ascended to the throne, and the affairs of the previous dynasty have been quite exhausting. If there is any restlessness in the harem and it affects you, is it not because the mourning family has not done their best to help. Only then did the queen come over and remind one or two. ”

"What about Xuanyue?" Zhuang Chen's eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and his tone sounded blunt: "Could it be that the queen mother also used to remind the queen?" I promised Xuanyue that when the matter was done, I would send her away. Why did the queen mother let her son lose his trust? ”

"Did you promise Xuanyue to send her away?" The Queen Mother pretended to be surprised: "Xuanyue has grown up with you since she was a child, and she is your junior sister." Wouldn't it be better for her to stay with the queen and do things for you and the queen with all her heart? ”

"It is precisely because she grew up with her son since she was a child and is her son's younger sister that she has to go." Zhuang Yanchen looked at the Queen Mother's eyes, and her tone was slightly cold: "Does the Queen Mother want the previous matter to have a chance to be exposed?" Or do you think that the queen must have someone around you to be at ease? ”

As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother's face turned green.

"Yan Chen, are you blaming the queen mother?" She frowned, her eyes filled with unbelievable anger. "It's not for your own good. After all, Xuanyue is a rare work, and there are very few in this huge harem that can be used like her. The mourning family also doesn't want the queen to be isolated. In the past, when you were in the palace, those courtiers did not send people to you. Not to mention nowadays. What's more, the palace is smaller after all, and it is easy to take care of. But this deep palace is different. The palace people, the guards, the hundred officials and the female dependents, the same negligence may lead to disaster. The mourning family also hopes that your country can be more stable. ”

"With the mother's family working for me, the country is naturally stable." Zhuang Chenchen frowned slightly: "The reason why the abolished emperor will go to a dead end is that he has a heart disease with his mother. Otherwise, no matter how good Xuanyue is, she may not be able to separate the mother and son. Mother, don't you say? ”

The words have been said so ugly, the Queen Mother doesn't want to tear her face with him. "When people get old, they think more. Always thinking about this, worrying about that. I forgot that the son of the mourning family is now the king of a country. The queen is also a famous lady, and her father and uncle have become the emperor's right-hand men, how can she not do her best to manage this huge harem for you. That's it. ”

With a wave of her hand, the Queen Mother's face softened a lot: "Since the emperor knows it, the mourning family will no longer force it." Xuanyue's business, you can do it. ”

"Yin Li." Zhuang Chenchen asked her to untie Xuanyue. "The son will come again to greet the queen mother when he is free."

"The concubine retired." Cen Muning also saluted, and the group quickly left the queen mother's bedroom.

"What the queen mother thinks in her heart, I can't know it better, it's hard for you." Zhuang Chenchen whispered to Xuan Yue on the side.

"The master doesn't blame the slave and maid for obeying the queen mother's orders, and the slave and maid are already very grateful." Xuan Yue sighed faintly: "In fact, the Queen Mother did this out of the heart of her beloved son, who was thinking about her master. Naturally, the slave could not refuse. The loss is that the master came in time. ”

Zhuang Chenchen smiled slightly: "Then the queen must send the letter in time." ”

"The queen sends a letter?" Xuanyue turned around and glanced at Cen Muning, a little puzzled.

"The pastries in the small kitchen were prepared for the emperor by the queen's orders." Bingling hurriedly explained: "Isn't it strange that it has to be sent to the Queen Mother's Palace." So the slave maid asked people to send the pastries to the Qingxuan Palace. ”

Xuan Yue smiled slightly: "The queen is wise, and the maids around her are also shrewd people." Naturally, there is no need for slaves and maids to serve on the side. ”

"You should leave the palace immediately." Zhuang Chenchen glanced at her, frowned, and said, "According to what I said before." ”

"Yes, master." Xuanyue saluted her respectfully: "The slave and maid will leave the palace, and please take care of the dragon's body." ”

"Yin Li, send one." Zhuang Chenchen glanced at Xuanyue solemnly, then turned away.

Cen Muning took a deep breath and watched Yin Li leave with Xuanyue, unable to tell what it felt like in her heart.

Qingli always felt that her chest was stuffy, and she had a strained face, which was rare for her serious appearance. Accompanied Cen Muning without saying a word.

Even Bingling wondered, "What's wrong with you?" Why does it look so serious? ”

"The slave maid always can't understand why the Queen Mother is so wary of the queen." Qingli frowned: "Could it be because of the wasp incident before, the Queen Mother is still haunted?" But in fact, even if the queen mother didn't destroy her means, she might not be able to succeed. It's better to endure it, and at this time, it is safe to clean up the mother and son of the abolished emperor. Since it is already the best ending, why is the Queen Mother still so angry? ”

"Since ancient times, isn't there no harmony between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?" Bingling frowned slightly: "Whether it's an ordinary family or a royal family, it's probably because I'm afraid that I will forget my mother if I have a daughter-in-law." ”

"If only it were that simple." Qingli still couldn't figure it out: "Looking at the queen mother's current posture, it seems that she has to suppress our mother." After all, the queen mother is the queen mother, and if the queen mother can't stretch her hands in the palace in the future, how can she make the master feel at ease. Just seeing that the Queen Mother has selected so many concubines for the master, she knows how much she can't tolerate her mother in her heart. ”

Even the green plough saw through this layer. Cen Muning is even more convinced that her mother's affairs must be related to the Queen Mother. At the moment, we can only take one step at a time. She doesn't have such a good means as Xuanyue to make Zhuang Chenchen tear her face for her and her mother. Once between her and the Queen Mother, the layer of hatred is pierced, and she is very likely to die in the hands of Zhuang Chen.

"Mother, don't worry. The slave maid just heard that as soon as the emperor saw the pastry, he immediately threw down the government and rushed over, which shows how much he cares about you. Bingling didn't want her to feel bad.

But in fact, none of them knew Cen Muning's heart disease.

In the evening, after a whole day of government affairs, Zhuang Chenchen only felt tired.

Yin Li walked in quickly and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the queen mother just asked Miss Bingling to come over and ask if the emperor is going down to court." Said that dinner was ready. ”

Does she still have the heart to prepare dinner? Zhuang Chenchen was a little surprised.

It stands to reason that knowing the truth about Xuanyue's matter, she will be more or less awkward in her heart.

"Go to Fengling Palace." Zhuang Chenchen also happened to be hungry.

It's just that before the person walked out of the Qingxuan Palace, he saw a woman coming in.

"It's not ...... Happy? Yin Li said with some surprise: "Why are you here?" ”

"The slave and maid greet the emperor." On the tray that Xin Wei was holding in his hand, a cup of soup that had just been stewed wafted with fragrance. "When I was in the mansion before, the slave did something wrong. Thanks to the queen's generosity, the slave and maid were sent out of the house. It's just that the Queen Mother was thinking about the slave maid, and only brought the slave maid to the palace two days ago. Thinking that before the enthronement ceremony, the emperor must have a lot of government affairs to deal with, and it is inconvenient for the slaves and maids to bother, so he came to ask the emperor for peace. ”

Speaking of this, she smiled lightly at Zhuang Chen: "The slave maid stewed this soup with her own hands, and the queen mother said that the emperor used to like it the most." Knowing that the emperor hadn't eaten much all day, why don't you drink soup to warm your stomach, and then go to the queen's palace for dinner? ”

Of course, Zhuang Chenchen understood what the queen mother meant, and his eyes were a little cold: "The people I don't like have been in the past, are now, and will be the same in the future." The queen is tolerant and keeps your life, so you can go to serve the queen mother. You don't have to come to me. ”

"The emperor ......" Xin Wei didn't expect that after so long, he would still be so ruthless. Even if you don't allow slaves and maids to serve on your side, please be considerate of the Queen Mother's thoughts. This soup was stewed by the queen mother, just to nourish the emperor's dragon body......"

"Then send it to the Queen Mother to enjoy slowly." Zhuang Chenchen threw down this sentence and went straight away.

Yin Li glanced at Xin Wei unhappily: "Your life is barely saved, just cherish it." Don't lose your life for an impossible favor. ”

After speaking, he quickly caught up with Zhuang Chen. "Master, the queen mother has prepared your favorite soup early in the morning, and it is simmering on the stove at this time."

"Hmm." Zhuang Chenchen had to advise: "Go back and check carefully, how many people are placed by the queen mother in my harem." Move them all to the palace that has gone away. ”

"My subordinates understand." Yin thought about it, it seems that the emperor's heart is so good that he still went to the queen's mother.

"The emperor is here." Cen Muning was waiting outside the palace gate, and when he saw him coming from a distance, he stepped forward diligently.

"I didn't say I would come for dinner, but I would come. It's just that the government is tricky, and it doesn't have to be any time. You are waiting inside, why are you still outside the palace gate? Zhuang Chenchen reached out and pinched her cheek: "The summer evening is not cool, and the ground is burning after a day." ”

"When the concubines saw the emperor coming, their hearts were steady." Cen Muning's smile was gentle, less alienated than before, and more dignified. "Naturally, I am willing to wait for the emperor here. Not to mention ......"

"How?" Zhuang Chenchen looked at her suspiciously.

"The queen mother took so much trouble to hope that the concubines would not be tempted by the emperor and not confuse the emperor. How could the concubine let her get her wish. Cen Muning looked at Zhuang Chenchen's eyes, and said every word very clearly.

Qingli and Bingling were so frightened that they glanced at each other, and they both hung their heads.

"How dare you say it." Zhuang Chenchen took her hand and walked in side by side. "Aren't you supposed to be generous and make me think you're sensible?"

"It's one thing to know how to advance and retreat, and it's another thing to know how to count etiquette. The concubine asked herself how respectful she was to the queen mother, but it did not mean that everything the queen said or did could be recognized by the concubine. Cen Muning hooked her lips slightly: "The more she doesn't like the concubine, the more the concubine has to do what she wants." That's my nature. ”

"Hmph." Zhuang Chenchen shook her hand hard: "Now, behind you are the Cen Xiangfu and the Chu family, I naturally won't let you be angry." Whether my country can be stable depends on you. ”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, looking at such a harmonious picture.

"So the concubine will definitely be your queen." Cen Muning blinked: "It's okay if the queen mother doesn't like it, the emperor thinks it's good." ”
