In the east wing of Fulu Palace, the Queen Mother was holding the harem living record and looking depressed, her eyes full of prejudices.

"Raid, do you think the emperor is dissatisfied with the concubines selected by the mourning family, or is he dissatisfied with the mourning family? What about the concubines that the mourning family likes, the emperor has cooled down these days. But the ones that the mourning family doesn't like, the emperor sees them diligently. Even the queen was so thoughtless, and the emperor went there four or five times. really disregarded the face of the mourning family. ”

Xi Yue smiled slightly, and said softly: "The Queen Mother is afraid that she has misunderstood the emperor, and among the concubines you value, two of them are inconvenient and unsuitable to sleep." There are still people who are sick, and some people have slept a lot last month, and the emperor is afraid that he will be jealous of the harem, and he takes into account the fact that the rain and dew are evenly wet, so he is colder. There's no other reason for that. ”

Her voice was soft and beautiful, as comfortable as gently brushing her face with cotton wool. The Queen Mother was originally angry, but after hearing such words, her face slowly soothed. "It's just that you are the only one who cares about the emperor's reasoning, it's just his harem after all, and he can't care about what he likes."

Xi Yue brought up the steaming pulp: "The emperor knows that the queen mother loves to heat the pulp the most, and he thinks that the soybeans have a smell of beans." This morning, the slurry was freshly ground before dawn. The soybeans were soaked overnight, and the grains were peeled. Filtered with gauze three times, the entrance is only smooth and rich in pulp, and there is no bean dregs. ”

The Queen Mother took a sip, and it was really good, and the smile on her face was a little brighter. "The emperor's mind is good, and he also wants you to guide him. Raid, over the years, Aunt Qin has been dotting on the affairs of the mourning family's palace, and you are staring at the affairs of the harem for the mourning family, in the end, it is hard for you. ”

"The Queen Mother has tormented the slaves. Being faithful to you, whatever you do is a blessing for a slave. He smiled. It's a pity that the smile on his face hasn't had time to retract, and he heard a rumor outside that Princess Ruiming has arrived.

The Queen Mother's expression was grim, and the pulp in her hand was also put aside. It seems that even Cen Yun couldn't stop her. This time, the mourning family has encountered a hard bone. ”

Xi Yue's heart trembled slightly, what does a woman who even the Queen Mother find tricky looks like. She is openly an enemy of the Queen Mother, is she not afraid of death?

When Cen Muning came in, the expression on his face was extremely serious. Seeing her mother-killing enemy, how could she not be excited, and how could she not hate. It's just that all her thoughts were suppressed by her with strong willpower, and she carefully maintained what she should be as Princess Ruiming.

"Concubine to the Queen Mother." Cen Muling saluted as usual, and the golden tassel hairpin on her sideburns swayed gently, making a rustling sound.

"The mourning family asked Aunt Qin to pick up Ke Chun back, but Ke Chun was sent to Ciyun Nunnery, and you came back alone......" The Queen Mother covered her eyes and looked at Cen Mu Ning carefully: "If you mourn the family, it won't work here with Princess Ruiming, right?" ”

"The queen mother said so, how dare the concubine take it." Cen Muning's eyes flashed with a cold light. "Aunt Qin has tarnished the Queen Mother's reputation, Her Royal Highness wants to punish her, and the concubine is also helpless."

"She's just picking up her daughter for the mourning family, why should she be punished?" When the Queen Mother heard this, she was annoyed. "Punishment, how did you punish her?"

Cen Muning met the Queen Mother's gaze without being humble or arrogant, explained things one by one, and said at the end: "At the beginning, Ruiming Wangfu had such rules, and the Queen Mother nodded and agreed. Now His Royal Highness is punishing the people around the Queen Mother, which can be regarded as following the Queen Mother's will. Aunt Qin's corpse and concubine body have already been sent to the palace valley. His Royal Highness's original intention was ...... Feed the tigers. The concubine was able to reassure the queen mother, so she used poisoned wine and left a whole corpse for Aunt Qin. ”

"You're so daring." The Queen Mother glared at Cen Muning angrily, flicked her hand, knocked over the bowl of pulp that had not been drunk, and soiled her skirt. "Those who mourn the family, you dare to detain without asking, just detain, and even dare to die. Are you mourning as decorations? ”

"The concubine doesn't dare." Cen Mu Ning Ying bowed to the Queen Mother, but did not kneel. "It's just that the concubine does this, and it's also for the good of the Queen Mother."

"Hmph, no matter how clever you are, how can this matter be of any benefit to the mourning family?" The Queen Mother said angrily: "First Jun Xiu, then Aunt Qin, do you want to cut off the arms of the mourning family one by one?" ”

"The concubine doesn't dare." Cen Mu Ning held the salute and did not move.

"Then tell me how you treat the mourning family?" The Queen Mother asked through gritted teeth.

"Aunt Qin insisted that on the day of her concubine's death, she left from the Queen Mother's Fengluan Palace. And when he left, he looked panicked, and he couldn't help but look back every few steps, as if he was afraid that someone would chase and kill him behind him. wasted the queen mother's trust in her, she did not hesitate to pour dirty water on the queen mother in order to survive, and the concubine could not let her have a chance to speak alive no matter what. Please also ask the Queen Mother for forgiveness. ”

After saying this, the Queen Mother's face revealed a cold color, but in this coldness, there was a little haggard that people didn't want to notice.

"You're so daring." The Queen Mother repeated this sentence again: "Cen Muning, this matter has been ordered by the first emperor back then, and it is not allowed to be investigated." Even your father did not dare to welcome your mother back to her ancestral grave for burial. It's been a few years, what's going on? The first emperor is gone, and the new emperor ascends the throne, so do you Cen family dare to bring up the old things again? Or did you eat the bear's heart and leopard gall yourself, and you had to be the enemy of the entire royal family? ”

With such a big hat buttoned down, Cen Muning had to kneel even if she didn't want to.

She frowned, and there was not a hint of a smile on her strained face. "The queen mother misunderstood the concubine, and because of this incident, everyone was not allowed to mention the concubine, and even Mrs. Xilianghou, who wanted to reveal a little secret to the concubine, also gave people a mouthful, so the concubine was not ruthless and cut off Aunt Qin. Otherwise, people who know the truth will say that Aunt Qin disregarded the holy grace of the Queen Mother in order to save her life. But those who don't know will misunderstand that the concubine wants to bring up the old things again, and she also involves the queen mother, which is a big disrespect. ”

Raiding listened to it on the sidelines, and also felt that this Princess Ruiming was a difficult character.

The Queen Mother was speechless for a long time when she choked on her.

Cen Muning smiled brightly, and her tone was gentle: "The concubine body does not deceive the queen mother, over the years, the tragic death of the mother has been a nightmare for the concubine body." In the middle of the night, every time I dreamed of my mother's broken appearance, the concubine's heart was torn apart. Once upon a time, the concubine body was the pearl in the eyes of her parents, but since then, the concubine body has become a humble wild seed in the eyes of her father, so the concubine body has always wanted to know what it is. But the emperor's order is the emperor's order, and the emperor's order is not allowed, and the concubine can only receive it. If you are an enemy of the entire royal family, I am afraid that it can only be the queen mother's angry speech, and the concubine does not have such a hard neck, and she can't afford it. ”

"Can't you afford this?" The Queen Mother gritted her teeth: "If you have evidence, the knife in your hand will be waved over the neck of the Mourning family!" Don't talk about the events of the past, it has nothing to do with the mourning family, and even if there is, you don't want to get back the slightest excuse for your mother today. Her death was her own fault, and it had nothing to do with anyone. ”

"That means that the Queen Mother still knows the truth about my mother's tragic death after all, right?" Cen Muning really wanted to put a knife on her neck and ask for clarification at one time. If she really did it, she was cut off with one sword, even if she died, the great grievances that had plagued her all these years were finally resolved. But she knew that the Queen Mother would not say anything, just as her confrontation today could only be full of resentment and return in vain.

The door was gently pushed open by someone.

Everyone's attention instantly shifted in the direction of the door.

Concubine Zhen came in with a strained face, and the moment she looked at the Queen Mother, she smiled. "Who did I say, this early morning made the Queen Mother angry. It turned out to be Mu Ning again. ”

As she spoke, Concubine Zhen had already walked to Cen Muning's side: "Come on, get up quickly." Your dress is stained with pulp, and you look tired of it. Hurry back and clean up, don't be an eyesore in front of the Queen Mother. ”

"What's the matter, the concubine is disgusted with the mourning family to discipline Princess Ruiming, are you distressed?" The Queen Mother said displeasedly.

"Of course not." Concubine Zhen smiled and summoned the maidservant in, and a lot of pastries were sent to the Queen Mother. "I went to the kitchen early in the morning to prepare these, today is a good day, the Queen Mother forgot?"

Looking at those pastries, the Queen Mother remembered: "Yes, today is the day for the mourning family to enter the palace." After so many years, it's hard for you to remember. ”

"Naturally, I don't dare to forget." Concubine Zhen said with a smile: "When the first emperor was here, he would accompany the queen mother to spend this day every year. Now let me prepare carefully for the Queen Mother. Left and right will not spoil our interest for this girl. ”

"That's fine." The Queen Mother waved her hand: "You get up." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Cen Muning slowly stood up, and there were indeed traces of soy milk on her skirt, which were extremely ugly one by one.

"Look at Concubine Zhen's face today, and the mourning family will let you out of the palace." The queen mother's implication is that she will definitely not be spared next time. "But you have to remember the words of the mourners. It's like a pulp that crumbles on the ground, and once it's sprinkled on the ground, it can't be filled again. Those who have died are even more unlikely to come back to life. ”

"Yes." Cen Mu Ning smiled and said: "The queen mother understands this truth, and the concubine is at ease." Aunt Qin's posthumous affairs, the concubine body will let people handle it well. If the queen mother feels that it is inconvenient to have fewer people around her, the concubine will also pick some good ones from the palace and send them to you, hoping that you can drive them to compensate for the guilt of the concubine. ”

"Not necessarily." The queen mother's tone was not good: "The people of the palace can use it yourself." ”

"Oh yes." Cen Muning had to remind: "Aunt Qin and Xin Wei in the palace are fellow villagers, and the concubine will let Xin Wei send her ashes back to her hometown, which is always a comfort to her family." ”

Concubine Zhen almost showed her displeasure, but she still held on. The good daughter-in-law that the Queen Mother picked for her not only made the Queen Mother angry with herself, but also suffered with her. "Okay, come on, send the princess home."

She put up with what happened before for the time being, and greeted the Queen Mother with a smile: "The pastry is not delicious when it is cold, the Queen Mother, please use it while it is hot." ”

"Concubine." The Queen Mother's eyes turned cold, and her tone was sarcastic: "You and I understand what happened back then." This girl must not be kept. ”
