It is rare for Cang Lian to come to Fengling Palace.

At the beginning, Zhuang Chenchen made a decree to exempt her from the rules of the six palaces. It's good to have more time to recuperate. After all, she has endured hardships outside the palace all these years, and when she accompanies him, she shows a weak appearance from time to time, which can always make her feel more distressed.

So when she appeared in the main hall of Fengling Hall with exquisite makeup, everyone's concubines were stunned.

Some people have never seen her since they entered the palace. It's just that I heard that it is very similar to Concubine Ying.

Driven by curiosity, everyone was silent, looking at the woman back and forth with a meticulous and somewhat vicious gaze.

"The concubine greets the queen." Cang Lian's voice was gentle, her smile was sweet, and she regarded the eyes of others as admiration and jealousy, and she became more and more calm and proud. "I should have come to say hello to the queen a long time ago, but the concubine's body was weaker, and I was afraid of being sick and angry. It's barely good today, and please don't mind. ”

"Pity the concubine and excuse me." Cen Muning looked at her gently, without too much expression. "It's hard to come here as soon as you're well. By the way, it will take two or three days for Zizhou to be sent to your palace, and it is not easy to take care of the newborn child, and it will be hard for you. ”

"The queen said so, how can the concubines take care of it." Cang Lian smiled and sat down with Jing Qiao's hand, curled his lips and said: "It's still the queen mother, you think thoughtfully, let Concubine Ying help the palace take care of Zizhou together." Although Concubine Ying has not yet passed the sitting period, she is just a mother, and everything is based on Zizhou, although the child was born prematurely, her body is gradually hardened, which is caused by the protection of the emperor's blessings. ”

"Speaking of which, the concubines haven't seen the emperor's eldest son yet." Yang Yunbi said with a smile: "I don't know if the appearance is very similar to the emperor when he was a child." Can the queen see it? ”

"Of course, I saw it." Cen Mooning smiled slightly: "Zizhou is indeed similar to the emperor. But this palace thinks that it is more like a concubine. ”

"But isn't it, people say that sons are like mothers." Ge Zishan smiled faintly, and looked at the poor concubine: "But the concubine thinks that being like a concubine is not the same as being similar to the concubine." Looking at it carefully, the poor concubine and the concubine are really similar. Maybe it's a long-lost sister. ”

She said this just to embarrass the concubine.

How could Cang Lian not hear it, she turned her face with a smile and glanced at Ge Zishan carefully, and said painlessly: "Who is this sister?" Hongu never recognized. ”

"Back to the noble concubine Niangniang, this is the noble concubine Mao, who lives in the Yuehua Palace." Jingqiao said truthfully.

"Oh." Cang Lian smiled and tilted her head to look at Ge Zishan: "The Moon Birch Hall of Concubine Mao, does it raise a lot of birds?" ”

"Not really." Ge Zishan was puzzled: "Why does the concubine ask like this? ”

"As soon as I came in, I listened to your chatter. This palace also has a lot of birds raised by you, and you are contaminated with their good skills. After saying these words with a pleasant face, she watched Ge Zishan's face sink point by point, not to mention how happy she was.

"The concubine doesn't know anything." Yang Yunbi saw that the situation was not right, so she thought about relieving Ge Zishan: "Sister Mao Gui is good at singing and dancing, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she doesn't like to raise playthings." What kind of birds, rabbits, etc.,My sister doesn't like it.。 But I often read books to be some female celebrities, and my energy may be limited, so I can't do everything well. ”

What she meant by this was that Concubine Pian had a bad background and might not know this. Since she herself is not good at it, why bother to make fun of others for being the most clever.

Cang Lian understood the deep meaning, but she didn't show the slightest displeasure, on the contrary, she hooked her lips slightly, and said to the Jingqiao beside her: "Present the gift prepared by the palace for the queen today." ”

"Yes." Jingqiao turned and retreated.

"Why do you have a gift?" Cen Mu Ning looked at her with a smile: "Pity the concubine, you rarely come to the palace." Every time I come back, I don't come empty-handed. But this palace has nothing to give you, and it seems so raw. ”

"Don't say that, Niangniang, all the furnishings in the concubine's palace were added by you. The food and clothing of the concubines are carefully arranged by you. With the blessing of the queen mother, the concubines are like bathing in the sun, warm and moving. Therefore, the concubine can only prepare more gifts, even if she can only repay one-ten-thousandth of the grace of the mother, she is gratified. ”

As he spoke, Jing Qiao led the people and carried up a delicate wooden box.

The concubines all thought it was very strange, this box looked exquisite, and they even used the best huanghuali.

But what does such a big box have to be for gifts?

Strange in their hearts, the concubines couldn't help but stretch their necks to look, very curious.

"I heard that when the queen was in the Ruiming Palace, she had been taking care of everything in the palace for the emperor. After entering the palace, because he was not happy, he handed over the affairs in the palace to Concubine Min to take care of. Now Concubine Min is powerful, and everything is done in an orderly manner. Niangniang also has a lot of emptiness, so the concubine brought such a gift to Niangniang, when Niangniang is empty, you can use it to play, if you don't like it, ask someone to stew it. ”

As soon as she said this, the concubines became even more curious.

What kind of gift can be played with and eaten.

"What good things did the concubine give to the queen, why don't you open it up, so that our sisters can see their horizons." Xu Leer was a little impatient and spoke first.

"This is Xu Meiren." Jingqiao whispered a reminder in Cang Lian's ear.

"Does Xu Meiren want to see it?" Pity asked gently.

"Exactly." Xu Le'er saw the relatives who were smiling like the concubine, and couldn't help but get up and leaned over: "I don't know if the concubine can take a look?" ”

"Absolutely." Cang Lian smiled and nodded at her: "It's better for you to open the brocade box, so that the queen mother and the sisters can watch together." ”

"Yes." Xu Le'er thought that this was the concubine of pity lifting her, so she walked to the wooden box with joy and took off the horizontal lock with both hands.

At this time, Cen Muning could feel that Bingling and Qingli were both cautious, and both of them were guarding against something.

The contents of the wooden box must not be simple.

Sure enough, the moment the box was opened by Xu Le'er, a thing spitting red letters and holding his head high appeared in front of him.

"Ahh Snake! Xu Le'er screamed and fell to the ground with a bang.

The concubines were also shocked, screaming and jumping, all kinds of chaos, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

Only Cen Muning's master and servant, as well as Concubine Jingqiao, maintained their original posture motionlessly. Watch the python shake its head and sway around.

"Green plow." Cen Mu Ning winked.

Qingli quickly walked over and clamped the python's seven inches with one hand. This python is the thickness of a woman's arm, and although it is not poisonous, it is amazingly powerful. It took a lot of effort to control it.

"Mother." She returned to the queen's side and frowned: "The pattern of the python is quite good-looking, at this time it is almost summer, this snake can wake up in advance, and it is still so active, presumably the concubine must have worked hard." ”

"Not bad, indeed." Cen Muning gently stroked the cold snake skin of the python in front of everyone. "The concubine knows that the emperor likes these the most, and she must be able to guess that in the palace in the past, it was the palace that raised these spirit beasts for the emperor, and she couldn't complain about it, so she sent such a gift to the palace."

Seeing that the queen was in control of the situation, the concubines slowly calmed down and returned to their positions.

"Ming and Qing Dynasties, send Xu Meiren back, find the imperial doctor to take a look, don't be scared of anything wrong." Cen Mu Ning glanced at Cang Lian unhappily: "Pity the concubine, but it's a pity that the sisters in the harem don't like such things." In the future, it is better to bring less into the palace. ”

"Yes." Cang Lian nodded with a smile: "The concubine only cares about what is good for the mother, and forgets that there are so many sisters who are afraid." If there is anything interesting in the future, I can only pick when the sisters are not here, and quietly send it to you. ”

However, it still surprised Cang Lian that the queen was not afraid of this python. If I knew this was the case, I might as well send a poisonous snake. It's also a good thing that you can't bite one or two. There is one less slut to flatter in front of the emperor.

"The concubines and others are out of order, and I hope the queen will forgive her sins." Yang Yunbi was the first to stand up and confess, and there was still deep fear between her eyebrows. Especially watching Qingli catch the snake, I always felt that as soon as she let go, it was chaos again.

"That's it." Cen Mu Ning waved his hand and motioned for the green plough to take it down first. "I've been talking to this palace for a while, and you're tired. Just kneel down first. ”

"Yes." The concubines bowed in unison and withdrew, as if they had been granted amnesty.

Only, Cen Muning left Cang Pian behind. "Pity the concubine and go slowly, there is also a gift for you in this palace."

"Didn't the queen just give her concubine a good gift?" Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Cang Lian said truthfully: "The idea of leaving the prince to be raised by the concubine is explained by the mother to the emperor. Otherwise, at this time, the concubines don't know how to be arranged by those officials of the previous dynasty. Niangniang, you treat your concubines like this, and the concubines will naturally want to reciprocate. ”

"That's the emperor's heart, he is attached to his sister, what does it have to do with this palace." Cen Muning smiled slightly: "Even if the palace doesn't say it, the emperor will do it." Cen Mu Ning saw Qingli returning, and smiled warmly: "At the moment, my sister likes this gift." ”

"This is ......" Cang Lian saw a few small palace maids and came in with a lot of brochures, which couldn't help but be strange. Does the queen want to give her concubines a book to read? Could it be that Niangniang is a concubine who has no ink on her chest? ”

"Nope." Cen Mu shook her head sharply: "How can a person carefully cultivated by the Queen Mother have no ink on his chest." These are not books either, these are...... Love poems. ”

"Love poems?" Cang Lian was confused, picked up a copy casually and flipped through it, and immediately changed his face.

"This handwriting, Concubine Pian must be very familiar, right?" Cen Mu smiled faintly: "This is all from the hands of my cousin in the palace, and one stroke at a time, I can't tell him the pain of lovesickness for many years." Doesn't Concubine Pity like poetry and songs the most? Then take it back and take a good look. Maybe the emperor said the first half of the sentence, and the concubine was able to take the second half of the sentence, and it was not in vain that the effort of the person who wrote these love poems was not. ”

Cang Lian's hand holding the booklet was trembling, and she saluted the queen without smiling: "Thank you for the queen's kindness." Jingqiao, accept it, let's go. ”

"Hmph." After she left, Bingling sneered and said: "For the sake of my own splendid future, I did not hesitate to kill my former lover, I really don't know how Concubine Pity will feel when she sees these love poems again." ”

"Alas......" Cen Muning also sighed: "Chu Peiyuan is a big fool." He can't blame others, he can only blame himself. ”
