When Cen Muning summoned the concubines, Ruan Er had already left Fengling Hall for half a cup of tea.

Yang Yunbi and Ge Zishan's faces were still flushed, and the grievances in their eyes had not faded.

"Spring is lacking and autumn is sleepy, and it is really not wrong at all. I wanted to get up early and sleep until this hour. When Cen Muning spoke, there was a laziness in her tone: "I'm tired of you blowing the wind here." Qingli is also yes, why don't you invite the sisters into the temple to serve tea first? ”

Qingli hurriedly saluted and said: "The queen mother forgives her sins, it's not that the slave didn't expect this." It's just that Concubine Min and Concubine Yingniang were talking enthusiastically in the courtyard of the front court, and the slave didn't dare to sweep away the interest of the two maids, so they had to give up. ”

"Oh?" Cen Mooning looked around and was a little strange: "Is Concubine Ying here too?" Why aren't you in the temple at this time? ”

Zhou Meiren hurriedly got up and saluted the queen: "Back to the queen's mother, Concubine Fang Min said a lot of things to Concubine Mao, and Concubine Ying said that the dragon fetus was uncomfortable, so she went back to Fengluan Hall first." ”

"Queen, that's not how it is." Ge Zishan hurriedly got up to argue for herself and Concubine Min, she hurriedly saluted, and said: "It was Concubine Ying's sarcastic remarks, and the concubine was angry and only said a few more words to her." Since Concubine Ying is pregnant, she has been talking about the imperial heir at every turn, and the concubine has only been in the palace for a short time, and her position is under Concubine Ying, how dare she openly offend her. But Sister Min is on an equal footing with her, how can she be so lightly practiced by her, can she not take others seriously just because she is pregnant? This is too bullying. ”

"Sister Zishan, it's just a misunderstanding, so you won't be so angry." Yang Yunbi wanted to stop her, but it was too late. She didn't expect Ge Zishan to be so uncontrollable, in fact, since the queen asked, she would cover it up and pass, why did she need to say it so clearly and embarrass each other.

Ge Zishan's eyes were hot, and she almost burst into tears: "Sister Min thinks it's a misunderstanding, but the concubine doesn't think it." Didn't Concubine Ying's side still say that if there is anything wrong with the dragon fetus, Concubine Ying will definitely not let you and me go. Anyway, it will suffer at that time, so it is better to say it in front of the queen. ”

Cen Muning looked at Ge Zishan's aggrieved appearance, and she was a little envious in her heart. She used to be so simple-minded, she couldn't stand a little grievance, she couldn't swallow the bitterness, she could say whatever she wanted, and she didn't hide sand in her eyes. After all, such a good time is gone, and now she knows a truth, what is wronged, living is the most important thing.

The queen thought about her own thoughts, and didn't say anything for a while.

Yang Yunbi walked up to the queen anxiously and said respectfully: "The queen's mother, they are all concubines who are not good, and they are anxious and offended Sister Yingfei." If you can make your sister angry, the concubine is willing to go to Fengluan Hall to make amends. ”

"Not necessarily." Cen Mu said with warm eyes: "Concubine Ying is pregnant, so it's good to recuperate." What's more, now that the queen mother is unwell, Concubine Ying still has to take care of her, and she has no time to take care of it. It's ...... you."

Yang Yunbi didn't wait for the queen to speak, so she knelt down: "A few days ago, the queen's mother and phoenix body violated the harmony, and the concubines dared to manage the affairs of the harem for the mother, but they always took care of one and the other, and they were anxious. ”

Thinking about the surroundings now, except for Ge Zishan, who is willing to say more words for herself, and the rest of the concubines are not willing to approach at all, Yang Yunbi feels uncomfortable. Making too many enemies is not a good thing after all.

"It's okay." Cen Muning could feel that she was a thoughtful person. "If you say so, let's start with the simplest. The rest of the things will be put aside for the time being, and seeing that the weather is getting warmer, it is time for the palace to tailor the new clothes of spring. Shopping, organizing, and distributing the laundry is up to you. It's a simple thing to say, but it's not easy. The concubines have corresponding rewards according to their positions. But even if there are rules for making a book, the color of this material is very different. If you can't keep it, you will be obedient to your brother's love and lose your sister-in-law's wishes. It's not that easy to do. ”

Yang Yunbi thought for a while, then nodded: "The concubine is willing to give it a try, thank you Niangniang for mentioning it." ”

"Hmm." Cen Muning nodded with satisfaction: "This palace controls the affairs of the harem, and there are times when it is negligent. I need a good helper like you who is willing to work hard to learn. You have just entered the palace, and you are young, so you can learn to do it slowly. It's always the one who can do it alone. ”

"Thank you for your grace." Yang Yunbi didn't forget to say a word for Ge Zishan: "Niangniang, the concubine still has a reluctant invitation." ”

"You say." Cen Muning had already guessed what she was going to say, but she deliberately pretended not to know.

"Sister Zishan has always been careful, and the concubine wants her sister to help the concubine do it together. With my sister's careful help, maybe things will be done more perfectly. Yang Yunbi nodded at Ge Zishan with a smile.

Ge Zishan was a little nervous in her heart, she was afraid that the queen would not agree. In this way, not only will Concubine Min's kindness be disappointed, but these concubines will also be laughed.

"Would you like to?" Cen Mooning asked her gently.

"The concubine is willing to share her worries for her mother and do her best for Concubine Min's sister." Ge Zishan hurriedly agreed.

"Very good." Cen Mooning nodded with satisfaction: "Then let's do it." ”

"Thank you, Queen, for your grace." The two thanked each other in unison.

After talking casually for a while, Cen Muning felt tired, so she ordered them to kneel down.

Bingling summoned a few little girls, cleaned up the tea cup in the hall, and then turned around: "Niangniang, that Concubine Min is really not simple. ”

"Really?" Qingli didn't see it. "What's not easy?"

"Insulted by Concubine Ying, she didn't come out, but she asked Concubine Mao to go back for her. Last night, she didn't say a word, she didn't dare to show half of her resentment to her mother, and even took the initiative to hand over the rights of the assistant harem to show weakness to our mother. That's not all, she knew that Concubine Mao had been wronged for her today, and she found a sweetness for her in front of her mother, this kind of appeasement is much more effective than giving some gifts and saying something good and obedient. In the future, the noble concubine will inevitably continue to cling to her, only the two of them can better fight against the rest of the concubines in the palace, isn't this an exceptionally smart person? ”

"When you say that, it's really not to be underestimated." Qingli frowned: "It's always like this in the palace, a wave of unsettled ......"

"Which wave is still unsettled?" This time it was Bingling's turn to be curious.

"No, I just find it hard to have a quiet day." Qing Li didn't continue.

At this time, Ming Qing walked in quickly and said, "Queen Mother, General Chu asks to see." ”

"Uncle?" Cen Muning was a little surprised, she didn't expect her uncle to enter the harem to ask for a meeting. However, he was able to come in, which means that Zhuang Chenchen has already nodded.

"Bingling, please come in." Cen Muning knew why he came, and it could only be like this.

After serving tea, Bingling and Qingli exited the inner hall. The door of the temple was not closed, and they stood left and right, also wary of others approaching.

"The last time I saw my uncle, it was when my mother had an accident." Cen Muning said worriedly: "Even when the palace got married, my uncle was also fighting outside the city, and I couldn't see each other. ”

"In the final analysis, it's the Chu family who can't live with your mother and daughter." Chu Rongzhi said with some guilt: "But the queen, the Chu family has reached your generation, and the woman is your best, you are the queen's mother, and the mother is the world." But among the men, only Pei Yuan is the most promising. Although he was young, he repeatedly made contributions to the imperial court, and finally did not lose his family demeanor, but now the emperor has taken him to prison, which is undoubtedly a disaster for the Chu family......"

"Uncle." Cen Muning interrupted him, frowning slightly.

"Yes, it's Weichen who lost his word." Chu Rongzhi sighed and lowered his head.

"I also hope that my cousin is safe and sound." Cen Muning said bluntly: "It's a pity that he was poisoned too deeply." Qu Yu is not an ordinary person after all, she must have a purpose in approaching the Chu family. Years ago, my cousin had fallen headlong into it, and it still is. Uncle, this palace is only afraid that even if he can rescue his cousin from the prison and restore his identity, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not make the same mistake again. Unless, he can break off with Qu Yu cleanly. ”

"It's not quite peaceful in the west." Chu Rongzhi said quietly: "The situation is difficult, and it is the best way to hone your will. Wechen has asked the emperor for an order, and Wechen will go to the west to clear up the troubles for the court. Right now, I just ask the queen to ask for a grace for Peiyuan in front of the emperor. As long as the emperor nods, Weichen can guarantee that he will inevitably take Peiyuan to continue to serve the court, and he will not dare or have the opportunity to cause trouble again. ”

"Parents only want their children, and that's probably the case." Cen Muning couldn't help but sigh: "Since my uncle already has an arrangement, then just do it." It's just that...... The origin of Qu Yu and who is behind her, my uncle must find out thoroughly. It is also important to find this woman at the moment, only by cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, can we never suffer from future troubles. ”

"There is no need for the queen to remind you, Weichen will do the same." Anger slowly rose in Chu Rongzhi's eyes: "If this woman lives for a day, the Chu family will not be peaceful." Who would have expected that she didn't die when she was strangled in the first place. It's really hateful. This time, she will never be allowed to run again. ”

"It's good that my uncle knows it." Cen Muning smiled slightly: "I will go to the emperor to ask for grace during lunch in this palace." If there is no accident, my cousin will be able to return home in less than three days. ”

"Thank you for your kindness." Chu Rongzhi saluted her solemnly: "Rest assured, the Chu family today does not seem to know only the golden mean in the past. ”

"The relationship between father and daughter in this palace is weak, and the only people who can rely on it are my grandfather and uncle. Now that she has her uncle's words, Mu Ning is at ease. ”

The two looked at each other, and their faces became equally warm.

At lunchtime, Cen Muning really went to see Zhuang Xianchen and interceded for Chu Peiyuan.

Not long after Zhuang Chenchen ascended the throne, he also used people to nod his head. But after all, when it comes to government affairs, he doesn't nod so happily.

So Cen Muning had no choice but to return to Fengling Hall and wait for good news. But she was confident that he would nod his head.
