Early in the morning, Cen Muning got up.

Because of today's beginning of winter, it is also a big solar term. The concubines of the harem all came to say goodbye. It's also a good time to see if there are any clues.

Bingling went to check the traces outside and near the palace, and found nothing unusual.

According to the young lady's description, she also spent about the same time, going in all directions, but did not find any clues. Where you go, how you usually are, how your heart is still, and there is no bloodstain in the end, and other contents.

However, Qingli found two slaves and maids who behaved sneakily in the Fengling Palace.

One is the maidservant who washes the utensils in the house, and the other is the keeper of the spices. These two people were supposed to serve in the palace, but last night for some reason, they both asked for leave and didn't come. It's like knowing that something is going to happen and deliberately avoiding it.

So Qingli stepped up to track down the family members of the two people outside the palace to see who was so bold and reckless.

"Originally, the mother's diet and clothing were all slaves and ice creams. The decoction sent on weekdays will not be faked. But I don't want even things like spices to be manipulated. Qingli frowned and said while putting on earrings for the queen: "The people in this harem are sinister, and they are really unguardable. In the past, when I was in the palace, although there were many slaves and maids, the majesty of His Royal Highness was so important that no one dared to have such a thought. In the end, His Royal Highness became the emperor, and these things were different. ”

"His Royal Highness must have the majesty of His Highness, but the monarch must have the mind of a monarch. In the affairs of the court and politics, the emperor never hesitated for a moment. But when it comes to the harem, it is the lax control of the palace, which will cause these people to have the intention of avoiding a catastrophe. I can't complain about others. Cen Muning looked at herself in the mirror, and always felt that it was because she didn't do these things well that she would make people take advantage of the loopholes.

"Qingli, from today onwards, it's time to set rules for Fengling Palace." Cen Muning is always reluctant to do things too arbitrarily and domineeringly, but her kindness has always become a chance for others to take advantage of her and attack her. "The concubines are gathered?"

"Except for Concubine Ying, the rest of the people are here." Bingling frowned and said, "The slave maid went to the vestibule to take a look, Concubine Liao came early. are also pregnant concubines, and Concubine Ying really looked down on herself. ”

"No problem. Wait for her to come to the main palace and then go. "Cen Muning has always disliked cumbersome decorations, especially those that are too luxurious and heavy. But today, she chose a set of peony ornaments, which made her more and more luxurious and beautiful.

"Queen Mother, the concubines are gathered." Outside is the voice of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

"Got it." Bingling replied before saying, "Niangniang, everyone is together." We can get there. ”

Cen Mu Ning got up and slowly walked to the front hall with her hand.

Sure enough, all the people came, and this huge front hall looked smaller.

"Say hello to the Queen." The concubines saluted neatly, and the voices were also extremely tactful and good.

Cen Mu sat down slowly, looked around slowly, and then slowly spoke: "Sit down." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Concubine Ying and the pregnant Concubine Liao naturally became the focus of everyone. The two of them sat in front of the crowd on the left and right, the queen's head.

Cen Muning signaled slightly, and Bingling led the maid to serve fragrant tea.

"Concubine Yingniang and Concubine Liao are pregnant, and it is inconvenient to drink tea, so the queen mother specially asked the slave maid to serve white fungus and red date soup, and invited the two mothers to taste it." Bingling smiled smartly.

"Thank you for your care." Ruan replied lukewarmly.

Liao Rongyu was overjoyed: "The concubine was thinking about this taste, so the queen gave one to her, which is really good." ”

"There's a lot in the kitchen, so if you like it, drink more." While Cen Muning spoke, she was slightly tired, frowning and pinching the bridge of her nose.

Happy?? Only then did he receive the grace of God, and he was promoted by the queen, so he was naturally warmer. "Niangniang seems to be in poor spirits, did she not sleep peacefully last night?"

"Poof." Rouer couldn't hold back her laughter. Xinmei asked this, as if she was deliberately provocative. Last night, the emperor took you to bed in a sedan chair, even if you didn't sleep well, it should be you, right? The first time I served the emperor, I naturally couldn't sleep well. Why would this deliberately use this to embarrass the queen? It is said that the draught does not forget to dig wells, but you are not kind. ”

Many people feel comfortable when they hear this. After all, Xin?? It's just a lowly. He also served the queen in the palace...... They didn't like her to climb so fast, so some pursed their lips and smiled, some sneered, some looked at Concubine Ying approvingly, and there were not a few who waited to watch the show.

Even Qingli feels happy?? It's going to be heart-wrenching, and if you say such ugly words, it's uncomfortable to put it on anyone.

Cen Muning didn't rush to help Xin?? Speak. She had taken the first step in her bedtime, and she should have expected such ridicule and contempt. Who made such an emperor in this harem sit on countless beauties.

Can you not fight for that little grace of taking care of one or the other?

In this way, the rhetoric is quite light. Seize the opportunity, I don't know what kind of life and death it is.

Happy?? didn't mean this at all, just a word of concern, but was ridiculed like this by Concubine Ying. She smiled brightly, and her tone was slightly cold: "Sister Concubine Ying is really good at making fun, just like last night when you saw the concubine serving, the description is so specific." Isn't it the first time you went to bed, otherwise where did you get such a profound experience? It's just that sister, you are so focused on how to serve the emperor that you don't even notice the tiredness of the queen. As a younger sister, I can't remind you that as a concubine, it is our duty to serve the emperor and queen. Don't forget that the rules are. ”

After saying this, Xin?? I feel happy.

Seeing Concubine Ying's face turn from sunny to cloudy, and her cheeks turned white, she was even more happy. Turning to look at the queen, Xin?? Shao had to show concern: "If the mother feels that her body is not happy, do you need to summon the imperial doctor to take a look?" ”

"It's fine." Cen Muning hooked her lips slightly: "This palace did not sleep very well last night. That's it, it's still a nightmare. ”

As she spoke, she rubbed her forehead: "So much so that I am not in good spirits today." Thank you. ”

Liao Rongyu hurriedly said: "Nightmare is small and small, but it is a trouble after all. Why don't you ask the deputy court to come and show you. ”

"Not necessarily." Cen Mu Ning Rao smiled: "I dreamed that I was kidnapped out of Fengling Hall and almost died. Now that I look at your flowers and moons, I like it in my heart, and this nightmare will be broken, which is really not interesting. ”

When she said this, there was nothing unusual on the faces of the concubines.

Qingli and Bingling also stared at each other, and they also didn't notice anything wrong.

"I don't blame the queen for sleeping restlessly." Bingling said worriedly: "The maid next to the new bride is stupid. The slaves and maids specially told them to prepare spices for you to calm your nerves and help you sleep, but those girls were sloppy and made a mistake. It is also the negligence of the slave and maid, and in the future, such a thing will have to be done by the slave and the green plough to be safe. ”

deliberately described the whole thing as it was, and if he had done it, he would have specified what marks would have been on the faces of these people.

But unexpectedly, everyone expressed their concern for the queen and agreed with Bingling's words, but no one showed anything unusual. Even Concubine Ying didn't show any weakness, if she didn't cover it up too well, it was none of her business at all.

Cen Muning knew what to expect, so she changed the topic again. "Has Concubine Ying's health been getting better lately? It's winter, the wind is harder, so if you want to go out and walk around, remember to dress warmly. Liao Concubine too. ”

Cen Muning glanced at Ming and Qing by the door.

The Ming and Qing dynasties immediately led several internal servants and eunuchs in, and even the imperial doctors who took care of Concubine Ying and Concubine Liao also came in.

"This palace specially asked people to find the lightest but warmest material from the warehouse, with excellent silk cotton, to make such a beautiful and comfortable skirt gown, you will not feel heavy when wearing, but warm and comfortable. Deliberately let the two imperial doctors look at it to ensure that it will not damage the dragon fetus, and the palace will be at ease. Cen Muning's voice fell, and the two imperial doctors carefully inspected the two sets of skirts in front of the concubines.

"If you go back to the queen's mother, this dress is warm and comfortable, can resist the cold wind well, and there is no element of damage to the dragon fetus." After the two imperial physicians unanimously expressed this opinion, they bowed and retired.

"That's very good." Cen Mu Ning smiled brightly: "The close maid who handed it over to Concubine Ying and Concubine Liao is." ”

Huan Pei and Mo Se stepped forward to take it, only to retreat together.

"For the rest of the concubines, this palace has also prepared winter clothes for you. It's just a matter of time, and the Internal Affairs Bureau didn't have time to make clothes. You'll have to go back and do it yourself. Cen Muning smiled slightly, her gaze swept across everyone's faces.

"Thank you, Queen, for your grace." The concubines stood up and saluted.

Although reluctant, Joor reluctantly stood up and saluted the queen.

"By the way, Hongu almost forgot." Cen Muning opened her mouth, and the concubines had to sit down again. "Hongu ordered the imperial kitchen to add pots every day. According to the number of concubines in the same palace, different dishes will be prepared. It's also more lively when you get together to eat. In the spring of next year, it will not be too late to withdraw this rule. ”

"Thank you for your care." The concubines were overjoyed, after all, the imperial kitchen was too far away from their residence, and if it weren't for the pot, they wouldn't be able to eat a hot meal in such a cold winter, and it would be really pitiful.

"Okay, you are tired of talking to this palace, so kneel down if you have nothing else to do." Cen Muning felt that the gold ornaments on her head were too heavy, and she wished that they would leave quickly and remove these decorations.

It's just that the concubines went out on the front foot, and the queen mother's people on the back foot came to spread the word.

Cen Muning gently stroked the golden hairpin on her sideburns: "Bingling, Qingli, let's go to Fengluan Hall to say goodbye to the Queen Mother." ”
