The sun shone brightly throughout the palace.

The carriages that came in and out of the fish brought tributes from all over the country after the beginning of the summer.

Coincidentally, this day is also a good day for the full moon of the emperor's eldest son, Zhuang Zizhou.

Zhuang Xianchen and Cen Muling changed into red auspicious clothes, prayed for Zizhou in front of the prayer hall, and announced to the world that this dynasty has the first prince. Cang took pity on a red auspicious dress, standing at the position of the queen's head, showing the glory of the prince's adoptive mother with a spring breeze on his face.

And Concubine Ying, like the rest of the concubines, was dressed in elegant auspicious clothes, standing in front of the concubines with Concubine Min. There is no arrogance in the slightest. The prayer ceremony here had just ended, and Zhuang Chenchen held Cen Muning's hand and walked down the high stairs.

Cang Lian immediately called the nurse over, and hugged Zizhou to the emperor with a smile. "Your Majesty, you see, Zizhou has really been very well raised these days, and he has gained weight twice. Hug and see. ”

Zhuang Chenchen was stunned for a moment, and reached out to take Zizhou a little unnaturally. But I really don't know how to hold a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes.

While Cen Muning held his hand, she also supported Zizhou's body: "Your Majesty, the concubines also feel that Zizhou is a lot stronger, which shows that the concubine is meticulous in taking care of her, and the concubine is also very attentive." ”

The queen mentioned Concubine Ying in front of everyone, so Cang Lian was a little unhappy, but she didn't show it.

But when Ruan Er heard the queen's words, she almost hooked her tears. Only the queen deliberately mentioned such a sentence. Others have long forgotten that the eldest son of the emperor has such a biological mother as her.

"The concubine is really hard." Zhuang Chenchen handed the child to the queen and glanced at Cang Lian affectionately.

Ruan Er also looked at the emperor with blank eyes, but he didn't get the slightest mercy.

"Thanks to Concubine Yingniang didn't stand next to the concubine, otherwise she would really look like two sisters when she looks at it like this."

Concubine Mao behind Ruan Er suddenly muttered something like this, so that she heard something wrong. Yes, her appearance is really seven or eight percent similar to that of the poor concubine. It's a pity that one is the emperor's treasure, but the other is humble to the bone. Even if he gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, he was still the same humble, and he was only worthy of carrying shoes for the concubine.

Cen Muning saw that Zizhou was really a lot stronger, so she was a little relieved. Finally, Helian lived up to her trust.

"Let's let the concubine hug it." Cang Lian couldn't see the queen holding Zizhou, and always felt that she regretted sending this child to Weiyang Palace in the first place. Thinking like this, she hurriedly hugged Zizhou over.

Cen Muning could feel her worry, but she didn't care.

"After all, children are young, so it is not appropriate to blow the wind and sun outside." Cang Lianhuan smiled, and the corners of his lips were flattering: "Your Majesty, it's better to ......"

"It's fine." Zhuang Chenchen spoke before she finished speaking: "Then you will take Zizhou back first, and then I will go to see you when I am free." ”

In a word, Cang Lian was embarrassed. Her original intention was to let the emperor accompany her back to Weiyang Palace. Although these days, the turmoil of the previous dynasty has gradually subsided, and the rumors have slowly faded because her current worth has doubled. But the emperor never got close to her. It's just that when she goes to Qingxuan Hall to ask for peace, he can let her accompany her for a while.

"The concubine retired." Cang Lian didn't want the concubines who were watching the excitement to see her loss, and the smile on her face became warmer and warmer.

But Rouer was very strange, and always felt that something was wrong. The emperor doesn't seem to like Zizhou very much. Not only did he neglect to take care of her during pregnancy, but even the poor concubine held the child, and the emperor never took a second look.

That means that there is no mother and son who are expensive, and the problem is not her, but that Zizhou does not please the emperor.

That's weird......

"I still have some things to attend to." Zhuang Xianchen looked at Cen Muning today, and his eyes were dyed with that red face: "I'll have dinner with the queen later." ”

"Yes." Cen Mooning saluted him: "Congratulations to the emperor." ”

Zhuang Chenchen instructed Liang Bao and Yin Li as he walked: "There are a lot of tributes for the new palace, and you lead people to help the queen count and put them into the warehouse." Choose some good materials, porcelain, and gold jewelry to send to Fengluan Palace. The rest of the palace needs to be distributed by the empress. ”

"Yes." Liang Bao and Yin Li should go down together and send the emperor away.

Qing Li then slowly walked over: "What does the master command?" ”

Yin Li glanced at her, and said with a smile: "You should rest assured this time, the most distressed thing for the master is still the queen's mother." ”

Hearing him say this, Qing Li smiled: "That's naturally the best." ”

"Let's go, let's talk to the queen mother, and then go count the tributes." Yin Li subconsciously shook the hand of the green plow.

Qingli's heart trembled, and his cheeks suddenly burned. "Hmm." She nodded obediently, followed behind Yin Li, and smiled sweetly.

This scene happened to make the worried Ruan Er see it, and she couldn't help but feel cold in her heart.

The queen mother is really capable, not only can she hold the emperor's heart, but even the maids around her have attracted the emperor's cronies. It's no wonder that no matter how favored Concubine Pian is, she can't threaten her status after all.

It seems that this cannot go on any longer.

"What are you doing here?" Cang Lian suddenly snorted softly behind his back.

Ruan Er hurriedly turned around and bowed her head respectfully: "If you go back to Niangniang, I don't know if it is because the wind has been blowing for a long time, and the concubine feels dizzy at this time." ”

Cang Lian was already angry, and seeing her standing there crookedly, she was in a bad mood. "That's it, let's go back to the palace first, if you don't feel well, go back and find an imperial doctor to take a look. But there is one thing, don't be sick to Zizhou. ”

"Yes." Ruan Er saluted respectfully: "Congratulations to the concubine." ”

Cang Lian took Jing Qiao's hand and slowly got on his shoulder.

Ruan Er was a little relieved at this time, and when she saw that the queen had also arranged the aftermath here and turned around to leave, she deliberately stood in place and did not move, and it happened that when the queen and her party passed by her, her body was weak, and the whole person fell to the ground.

"Concubine Yingniang......" Huan Pei was frightened, and a scream focused everyone's attention.

Cen Muning only noticed Concubine Ying at this time, and couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong?" ”

Bingling replied truthfully: "Niangniang, it's Concubine Ying's fall." ”

"Hurry up and send someone back, and ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look." Cen Muning thought to herself, she was dizzy at this time, I was afraid it was not so simple. Did you want people to know that the concubine was mistreating her? But she doesn't seem to have the guts to do that.

The "unconscious" Ruan Er suddenly pinched Huanpei's hand through his sleeve.

After all, Huan Pei has served her for many years, and this tacit understanding is still there, so he hurriedly said: "The queen mother forgives her sins, these days, in order to take care of His Royal Highness Zizhou, Concubine Yingniang has always lived in the side hall of Weiyang Palace, and her bedroom has not been cleaned. At this time, I am afraid it will be inconvenient to go back. It's just that the mother fainted suddenly, and I don't know why, I don't dare to rush to Weiyang Palace, for fear that I will be sick and ...... to His Royal Highness and the concubine."

"Then let's settle down nearby." Cen Muning heard Huan Pei say this, and she also had some thoughts. "Bingling, you can help you take care of one or two."

"Yes." Ice is naturally well-behaved.

After about an hour, the queen had not yet come, and Ruan Er couldn't lie down. "Huanpei, how do you say you can get the queen mother to come over? I've got to ask something......"

"Don't worry, the queen asked Miss Bingling to settle you here, I think I understand your thoughts. Let's wait. Huan Pei got up and glanced out the window, and came back disappointed and shook his head.

"I'm afraid that I didn't wait for the queen to come, and I waited for the person who took pity on the concubine." Ruan Er gasped: "These days, I have taken care of Zizhou by the side of Concubine Pian, she is indeed good to our mother and son, and she has never treated us badly." But I also know that once Zizhou's body is well recuperated and she becomes sensible, she will never let me continue to stay by Zizhou's side and get in the way of her affairs......"

"That's what the mother said." Huan Pei also thought like this: "Pity the concubine will not trust you after all." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard footsteps outside, and hurriedly got up and walked to the door.

"The Queen Mother has arrived." The sound of Bingling was not loud, but it was clear.

Huan Pei hurriedly opened the door neatly: "Say hello to the queen." ”

At the speed at which she opened the door, Cen Muning could judge that Ruan Er was anxious to see her. "Hmm."

She walked in slowly, her face a little strange: "What's wrong with Concubine Ying?" What did the Imperial Physician say? ”

"Back to the queen's mother, the imperial doctor said that the mother was weak after giving birth, and she was exposed to the sun for a while today, so she fainted. I have already prescribed a prescription for recuperation, as long as I take the medicine on time, there is no big problem. ”

"That's good." Cen Mu Ning saw that Ruan Er still maintained a formal appearance, although she didn't get out of bed, her actions this time were more respectful and solemn than every time before. "Concubine Ying doesn't have to be formal, just sit well."

As soon as the queen said this, she lifted the quilt, got off the bed, and knelt straight in front of the queen.

"Why is that?" Cen Mooning was quite surprised.

"The queen forgives her sins, the concubines were ignorant in the past, and they fought against the mother everywhere. But that was also the case. After all, the concubine is the person promoted by the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother regards you as an enemy, so the concubine naturally has to obey the Queen Mother, if you are not an enemy, the concubine will not be able to explain to the Queen Mother. What's more, the women in this harem are all living to compete for favor. Since the concubine is the emperor's concubine, she must protect her status, the queen mother, you are favored, how do you know how hard a woman without grace lives. ”

"You're confessing." Cen Muning hooked her lips slightly, but didn't say anything.

"The Queen." Ruan Er raised her head, stared into the queen's eyes, and said movingly: "The concubine really wants to know why the emperor doesn't want to see Zizhou like this." Did the concubine do something wrong, or was it ...... Or is there something else going on here? Why is there only such a prince, but it is difficult to get the mercy and love of his father, the queen, please show a clear way for the concubines and mothers! ”
