In the past three days, the palace has been as calm as usual, and the concubines will also talk about the concubine after dinner.

But because of the majesty of the emperor, it can only be just talk. No matter how dissatisfied he is, no one will come to the prayer hall to give the concubine a look.

On the morning of the fourth day, the concubines gathered at Fengling Hall to ask for peace, but they were stopped in the courtyard of the vestibule.

Shuoguo waited for the concubines to gather, and then said respectfully: "The queen mother went out of the palace with the emperor early in the morning to inspect the spring ploughing affairs of the imperial village, and there is no need to labor the little masters to come to ask for peace during this time." ”

"Really?" Lei Zhen was a little surprised.

"Naturally, it's true, where do the minions dare to talk nonsense." Shuoguo smiled and looked very immature.

"Then why didn't the queen know about the harem in advance?" Lei Zhen still felt strange: "It's also a common thing to accompany the emperor on patrol, why didn't the queen mother tell the concubines to help with a little bit." It seems that we are stupid and can't share our worries. ”

Liao Rongyu couldn't help but chuckle when she heard her say this: "Concubine Gong is now pregnant with a dragon descendant, and her temperament is a little different." What the queen does, how to command, it all depends on the queen's own thoughts, whether to say it or not, the mother herself is happy, naturally there is no need to explain to us. ”

"You're pregnant with a Dragonborn, aren't you different from before?" Lei Zhen looked at her with a smile, and her tone was slightly cold: "The queen mother really doesn't need to explain anything to us. But if we can share the worries of the queen, it is also our duty. Just like at this time, what if Bengong asks one more sentence, I don't have to explain to you in the end. ”

Speaking of this, Lei Zhen turned around with the hand of the silver branch and raised her chin slightly: "Concubine Liao is pregnant for six months, and her body is not light." Isn't it good to have a good baby in the palace if you have nothing to do, if you have this kung fu and the palace, it is better to make two more clothes for the child. After all, we are all mothers, and what is more important than the safety of our children. ”

Liao Rongyu's face was a little ugly when she was choked by her words, but she just saluted her: "Thank you Concubine Gong for your teachings." ”

Lei Zhen didn't make a sound, and slowly left with her hand.

The concubines dispersed in a hurry, and they couldn't figure out what they were dissatisfied with. Concubine Gong and Concubine Liao are both pregnant masters, and no one can afford to offend easily. The discord between them has nothing to do with the queen, but is actually a matter of grace.

Ruan Er waited for everyone to walk away, and then grabbed Huan Pei beside him: "Zizhou has been sleeping a little restless these days, wait for you to go to the prayer hall to ask for a peace charm for him to put under the pillow, and I am happy to use it to rest the pillow." ”

"It's good, but don't forget, that one ......" Huan Pei shuddered when he thought of the concubine's presence.

"It is because of the one who is there that you want to go." Ruan Er leaned closer to her ear: "Try to let the concubine know that the emperor and the queen have gone out of the palace to visit the imperial village." Remember, don't make it too obvious, but make sure the concubine is aware of it. ”

"The slave understands." Huanpei knew Concubine Ying's intentions, and she didn't want to be too obvious, because she didn't want people to know, she was still counting on the concubine. And the reason why I have to release this news is because one day the concubine welcomes the queen, and she can also give her a little benefit for today's affection. Not to be wiped out.

has been out of the palace, the sky is high and the clouds are light, although the wind is still a little cool, but the feeling of emptiness is comfortable.

Cen Mooning rode a horse, galloping in such a vast world, as if returning to her childhood.

"The horse is a good ride." Zhuang Yanchen was afraid that she would fall, so she kept very close. Unexpectedly, she rode her horse freely, sometimes fast, sometimes melodious, but she did not lose to the female jockey specially trained in the palace.

"When the concubine was young, she often rode with her mother." Cen Muling smiled slightly and lowered her head: "At that time, my father was always busy with political affairs, and he rarely had the time to accompany me and my mother. And I can't stop being stuffy in the room, reading for most of the day, I just want to come out to breathe. Either flying a kite or riding a horse, it's always more interesting outside than in the house. ”

"That's right." Zhuang Zhenchen looked up at the blue sky and remembered the past. It's just that at that time, it was Cang Pian who accompanied him to gallop on horseback. At this time, he didn't know why he didn't like to be accompanied by Cang Lian so much.

"Your Majesty, should the Imperial Village go in that direction, right?" Cen Mooning pointed not far away: "Is it that black land?" ”

"yes." Zhuang Chenchen is actually not particularly clear. It's just that I heard that there is an endless debate about what to plant in the spring on the Huangzhuang side, and every year, there are several times when the best cultivation season is missed, resulting in a poor harvest. However, at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, it was quite stable here, and he didn't want to make trouble again this year, so he had to come over to take a look.

"I think it's better to go over there first." Zhuang Yanchen looked in the other direction, and his tone was slightly warm: "It's easy to take you out of the palace once, just have fun for two days, and then it's not too late to pay attention to those troubles." ”

"If the emperor can really do it, then the concubines are also happy." Cen Muning looked at him and smiled: "It's a pity that the emperor is diligent in political affairs." If these things are not taken care of well, if the spring ploughing is really delayed, it is not the sin of the concubine. The emperor may not be happy. ”

"You know me." Zhuang Chenchen reached out and took her hand. The two of them rode horses, held hands, and finally went to the direction of Huangzhuang together. Yin Li and Qingli also followed not far behind, their eyebrows flirting.

It's hard to follow Bingling, and I'm afraid that the queen will suddenly have some orders. When I got closer, I always felt that it was in the way of Qingli and Yin Li. I can only carefully keep a distance that is not far away.

When I arrived at Huangzhuang, it was already afternoon.

Setting off early in the morning, still riding a thousand-mile horse, Cen Muning's stomach was already growling with hunger.

Yin Li jumped down from his horse and stepped forward to call the door.

Qingli thoughtfully took two water bladders and came over: "Master, Niangniang, drink some water to quench your thirst." ”

"Just call the master's wife." Zhuang Chenchen glanced at her: "Since it's a private interview with Weifu, don't show your identity." ”

"Yes." Qingli smiled and nodded: "Master, madam, are we going to stay in this imperial village tonight?" Twenty or thirty miles ahead, there is an inn. The slaves and maids have already been sent to take care of them. ”

Zhuang Chenchen looked at Cen Muning, meaning to listen to her decision.

"The inn is ready as usual. But tonight, the concubine wants to live in this Zhuangzi. ”

"Yes." Qing Li liked the feeling at this time. The master treats the queen with special gentleness. There are no monarchs and queens here, and there is no jealousy for favor, only ordinary couples traveling, like glue, envious of others.

"A few distinguished guests, please." The road steward in the Huangzhuang was invited by Yin Li.

Seeing that although a few people came refreshingly, the materials on their bodies were all excellent satin, so they were much more attentive. "Although our Zhuangzi is not far from the imperial city, few outsiders come, I don't know why a few distinguished guests visited?"

"On the other side of the mountain, I heard that there is a beautiful flower." Zhuang Chenchen smiled and glanced at Cen Muning, and said softly: "I just married my wife and promised to take her out of the house for spring." She loves to enjoy flowers the most. ”

"The guests were so elegant. There is a kind of horse orchid on the opposite hillside, purple color, which likes to bloom on this barren hillside, but it is still early, a little cold, and it does not bloom much. If you look at it in a few days, you can see it all over the mountains, and it is indeed beautiful. Between the two layers of petals, there is a pale yellow stamen, peel it out and eat it, sweet and silky. ”

"Then I'll stay here with my wife for one night, and then go to that hillside tomorrow to look for horse orchids?" Zhuang Chen's tone was intimate, as sweet as a young couple who had just gotten married.

Cen Muning nodded happily: "It's all up to my husband." ”

"Then this ......," the steward spat out these two words at the right time.

"Yin Li." Zhuang Chenchen winked.

Yin Li hurriedly took out the silver: "I'm tired of the housekeeper to help arrange it, our master and wife love to be clean." ”

That ingot of silver was not light, and the steward naturally smiled when he saw it. "Naturally, naturally, I'm here to find my mother-in-law to come over and clean up a clean house for my son and wife. Oh, and there are a few more, all of whom have neat houses to live in. I will arrange some more meals for you in our Zhuangzi, which may not be exquisite on the outside, but it has a different taste. ”

"Bingling, Qingli, you go and help." Cen Muning means that the things prepared by others may not be able to be eaten, so it is safer to stare at the point yourself. The two girls were also very smart, and they agreed to retreat.

Settled in the courtyard of a family in Zhuangzi, and the house was cleaned up in a short time.

"Childe, please rest assured. This yard has only been built for a long time, and no one will come to disturb it. The housekeeper said with a smile.

"This sister, please stay." Cen Mu Ning saw that she was leaving, and took a step forward to stop her.

"Madame is gracious. Call me Qiao's mother-in-law. The lady looked a little cramped.

"Sister Qiao's sister is not outside." Cen Muling walked up to her with a smile and a gentle tone: "It's excellent to live here, but it's dusty along the way, I don't know if there is a place to bathe?" ”

"Oh, bath." The mother-in-law of the Qiao family said with a smile: "I'll go and arrange hot water for my wife." ”

"I'll go with you." Cen Muning wanted to take the opportunity to talk to her.

"It's fine." The mother-in-law of the Qiao family nodded: "Then Mrs. is here, please." ”

Zhuang Chenchen followed the steward to eat tea in this courtyard, and also touched the situation in Zhuangzi by the way.

However, the stewards were originally the masters of the Zhuangzi, so they naturally picked up good words. What Cen Muning wants to know is the matter of the Huangzhuang next to each other, why the two Zhuangzi are not far away, but the contradictions and differences are so big.

The hot water dispelled the tiredness on her body, but she was a little bored in her heart. There is no peace in the palace, and there is also a lot of trouble outside the palace. Thinking like this, Zhuang Chenchen is indeed quite tired. He said that he was the king, but in fact, he was in charge of the world, how could he not be burdened by the world.
