The Queen Mother never expected that the Queen would make such a request on such an occasion.

She really relied on the emperor's grace, and she didn't take her as the queen mother in her eyes more and more.

"Some little things, does the queen also want to bother the mourning family?" The Queen Mother's face was slightly gloomy, and her tone was full of dissatisfaction, but anyone sitting here could hear it.

"It's the concubine who is reckless." Cen Mu Ning smiled, and the Queen Mother was not: "The concubine just thinks that she is stupid, and she can't even handle such a small matter." Originally, the harem was crowded with people, and there were guards guarding it. But it wasn't at night, Xinmei was such a big living person, after people were knocked out, they were carried from the imperial garden to a secluded place in a grand manner, and their hands and feet were tied with ropes and covered with stones to sink into the lake. Such a neat method makes the concubines awe from the bottom of their hearts, if such a person has been hiding in the deep palace, the concubines are afraid that the concubines will be afraid to travel. It's really uncomfortable. Therefore, the concubine had no choice but to ask the queen mother for help. Only the queen mother can guide the concubines. ”

"On the day of great joy, I want to say these things." The Queen Mother was dissatisfied: "Xinmei was thrown into the lake, and she didn't make a noise. But the queen can't sit still, so she has to speak for her! ”

Without waiting for Cen Muning to speak, the Queen Mother's gaze fell on Zhuang Chenchen's still indifferent face: "Your Majesty, what do you think?" ”

Zhuang Chenchen came back to his senses at this time, and glanced at the queen: "The first time the queen takes care of the affairs of the harem, it is inevitable to take care of one thing and lose the other. However, since the matter has happened, it is not a good choice to settle the matter, and it must be investigated to the end. ”

"Your Majesty." The Queen Mother's tone was full of dissatisfaction: "Could it be that you mean to support the queen?" ”

"The queen was just anxious to take care of the affairs of the harem for me, and seeing that the queen mother was so energetic, she put forward such an idea. The son thought that he didn't have to worry about his mother. Zhuang Chenchen frowned and called Yin Li: "Within three days, this matter will be resolved." ”

"Yes, master." Yin Li responded respectfully and quickly disappeared from front of people.

"Thank you for your kindness." Cen Mooning returned to him and sat down.

"Since Xinmei is frightened, go back and rest." Zhuang Chenchen glanced at her.

"Concubine, thank the emperor for his grace." Xinmei people were a little puzzled by the deep meaning of this look. But in fact, the emperor can look at her, even if it is just like this, her heart is warm.

The Queen Mother was not angry, and her face was naturally not as good-looking. Although his son didn't let himself lose face, he still went to the queen after all. And the soft er she carried, even if she was pregnant, had no weight in front of the queen. Yan Chen just glanced at her when she came in. If she hadn't conceived a Dragonborn, wouldn't she even have this look?

But her appearance is indeed very similar to Zi Xuan!

There was a faint uneasiness in his heart, and the Queen Mother was afraid that he would really fall in love with the queen. If this is the case, she can only rely on people to breathe and watch the majesty of the Cen family in the days to come.

"Princess Ziyang and the hussar general enter the palace to ask for peace-"

With the loud voice of the inner attendant, a pair of newcomers slowly appeared in front of everyone.

The Queen Mother adjusted her face slightly, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "Your Majesty, you see, you are talented and beautiful, how good a pair of people this is." ”

"yes." Zhuang Chenchen is also very satisfied with the marriage he facilitated.

Cen Muning was mixed, she didn't know if her cousin could really accept such an arrangement. Two people, two people who spend their lives together, if they are just for the benefit of the family and for their own glory, then what is the point?

"Ziyang greets the queen mother, and greets the emperor and queen."

"Weichen Chu Peiyuan met the Queen Mother and the Emperor and the Empress."

"No courtesy." The Queen Mother was overjoyed: "There is no monarch or minister today." You are now the son-in-law of the mourning family. Ziyang is the only royal sister of the emperor who is still by his side, and now she has found a good home, and the mourning family is very relieved. Come, take your seats. ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Ziyang smiled and nodded.

Chu Peiyuan was also seated.

Seriously, he is not used to such a scene, he should be happy, but I don't know why, he always feels that such happiness is to be seen by others.

"By the way, Ziyang, why didn't you wear the golden step shake given by the queen?" The Queen Mother seemed to ask deliberately.

Ziyang smiled and said, "Given by the imperial sister-in-law, Ziyang likes it very much." But because Jin Buyao was too precious, he put it away. ”

"Hmm." The Queen Mother smiled and didn't say anything more.

Ziyang faintly felt that something was wrong. Even if the queen gave it to the queen, it was just a gold ornament. Why did the Queen Mother suddenly mention this? Is there something wrong with it? After a little thought, she quickly associated the events of the wedding night. Could it be that she was so wronged by the swaying steps?

After three rounds of drinking, there are a lot of words to say about the scene. Presumably everyone present should be "happy", the Queen Mother ordered people to withdraw the banquet, and said with a smile: "Ziyang, it is rare for you to return to the palace, it is better to accompany the mourning family to talk about yourself." ”

"Yes." Ziyang smiled and nodded, but reluctantly glanced at Chu Peiyuan.

"I have something to discuss with my sister-in-law." Zhuang Chenchen got up and looked at him: "Come to the imperial study with me." ”

"Yes." Chu Peiyuan saluted the Queen Mother: "Weichen retired." ”

"Then the concubine will accompany the queen back to the palace first." Ruan Er's hand stood up with the handmaid's ring, and bowed to the queen: "I don't know if the mother is willing to be accompanied by a concubine?" ”

"It's okay to be together, it's just that you're pregnant, how can you be tired." Cen Muning declined: "It's better to choose the Japanese Palace to sit in your palace for a while." ”

"It doesn't matter." Ruan Er smiled and said, "The imperial doctor said that letting the concubines move around more is beneficial to the dragon fetus. What's more, the weather is very good today, and the concubines haven't been to the Imperial Garden for a long time. ”

Cen Muning saluted the Queen Mother, and then walked out slowly with Bingling's hand.

Rouer followed her with a grin.

The group surrounded them and left the Fengluan Palace.

"If Concubine Ying has anything to say, you don't have to go around to the Imperial Garden." Cen Muning didn't want to go to any imperial garden with her, in case she bumped into her and fell her foot, she didn't want the Queen Mother to be charged with murdering the emperor's heir.

"Does the queen don't like to be accompanied by concubines like this?" Soft Er seems to be joking, but there is a bit of truth in her eyes.

"It's not like that, it's just that I didn't sleep well last night and didn't have the energy to visit the garden." Cen Muning didn't say much, just looked at her piercing eyes: "What's more, Concubine Ying shouldn't work hard, it's too tiring to go around in circles." ”

"The queen treats Xinmei so well, and she does not hesitate to say those words in front of the emperor, which really makes the concubines admire." Ruan Errao smiled and said in a soft tone: "It's a pity that your energy is used to help others." I forgot about myself. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Cen Mu looked at her puzzled.

"Huanpei. Bring me the sachet I made for the queen. "Soft Er's gentle and lovely appearance, anyone who sees it will like it.

Cen Muning thought to herself, Zhuang Chenchen is so quiet, and she likes a woman who is as gentle as water, and her appearance is really likable. "You are pregnant, do less needlework, and it hurts your eyes to be careful."

Seeing that the stitches of the sachet were very detailed, Cen Muning couldn't help but smile: "This sachet has been accepted by the palace, but there is no need to bother so much in the future." ”

"Yes." Ruan Er's warm eyes smiled: "The sachet is second, but it is the things inside that are carefully selected and matched by the concubines." I also hope that the queen will not dislike the concubines at all. ”

When the words fell, she curtsied and saluted the queen: "The concubine has retired." ”

Cen Muning took the sachet from Bingling's hand, she was a little strange. "Why does this smell seem to have been smelled somewhere?"

The ice cream is in hand, and there is still the aftertaste of the sachet in the hand. Hearing the queen say this, she also felt a little strange. "It's really smelled somewhere. The slave seems to have smelled it this morning. ”

"This morning?" Cen Mu thought for a moment: "It's my makeup." ”

"Yes." As soon as the queen reminded her, Bingling immediately remembered: "It's the brocade box with ornaments on the makeup." The slave remembered that it was the brocade box that the emperor gave you for the triple flying phoenix golden step. Because the color is ochre, you said that it does not match the princess's wedding joy, so let the slave and maid change it to a gilded gold silk brocade box. The original box contained something else, but the aroma remained. ”

Bingling was suspicious: "Could it be that this smell is anything strange?" ”

"Impossible." Cen Muning and she both learned some pharmacology from their mother, although they are not particularly good at preparing spices, but if they are poisonous, they will soon find out. I definitely don't know how to handle it. "What's weird?"

"Miss, let's go back to the palace and take a look at the contents of this sachet." Although Bingling didn't believe that the emperor would poison the queen, he always had a suspicion in his heart.

When the master and servant returned to the chamber, they sent away the servants who were serving beside them, and poured all the contents of the sachet made of soft Er into a delicate jade plate. The two looked carefully, but they never found anything wrong.

"That's weird." Bingling wondered: "Since there is nothing wrong, what is Concubine Ying doing with this sachet with the same taste?" Miss, is she playing tricks? ”

"We all know that she is the Queen Mother." Cen Muning felt a little uneasy in her heart: "In other words, whatever she does, it is likely that the Queen Mother has instructed her." Do you still remember that during the family banquet, the Queen Mother specially asked Princess Ziyang why she didn't wear the Jin Buyao sent by the palace, which was strange. No matter how good-looking the golden step is, there is no reason to carry it all day long, why doesn't the Queen Mother ask about other ornaments, but just ask about that? She seemed to be reminding Princess Ziyang that there was something wrong with this thing. ”

Although Bingling didn't notice anything wrong, she figured out one thing: "The Queen Mother reminded Princess Ziyang, and asked Concubine Ying to remind you." This golden step was given by the emperor, and it was originally given to you, but it was sent to the princess by mistake. Miss, it's not that the slave wants to be suspicious of the emperor, but these two things are superimposed, as if they are aimed at the emperor. Does the Queen Mother want you to know that this thing hides the emperor's intentions? ”

Cen Muning agreed with her words, but before she could nod her head, she saw Ming Qing standing at the door. "What's the matter?"

"Queen Qiyu, Princess Ziyang is here." Ming Qing said respectfully: "The princess said that she was going to come to thank her mother, and she was waiting outside the palace gate at this time." ”

"You pack these things up first." Cen Muling instructed Bingling: "This palace will go to the side hall to see the princess." ”

"Yes." Bingling nodded and ordered the little maid to come over and accompany the queen. I quickly hid these things. Her words were not as explicit as she dared to say, and she always felt that the emperor was deliberately trying to borrow Miss's hand to achieve some kind of purpose. And the reason why the Queen Mother exposed it was to make the young lady suspicious of the emperor.

This is the clever plan to punish the heart. She gasped and hurried towards the side hall.

Ziyang asked Cen Mu Ningping to retire from the people who were waiting, and now there are only the two of them facing each other in the side hall.

"What does the princess have to say to her?" Cen Muning looked at her somewhat haggard face, as if she had stopped the disguise of joy, and her whole person looked so tired. "Now I can say it with peace of mind."

"The queen is really skillful and admirable." Ziyang walked up to her and faced her: "I know that you resent my queen mother, and you also resent my imperial brother, after all, you almost died in their hands." So now you are taking revenge on me like this, and I deserve it. Otherwise, you will not be satisfied. But your methods are too despicable, aren't they? You might as well just kill me! ”

Fang Cai's sachet has not been found out, and there is no need to check it now. Cen Mu smiled and understood what was going on. "Princess, no matter what I've done, as long as you're doing well now, isn't it better than anything else?"

"But you're already a queen, why aren't you satisfied? And I am already the daughter-in-law of the Chu family, even if I don't have your dirty methods, I will bring glory to your Chu family after all. Why do you have to make such an impatient move? I don't know if you, the queen, are trying to plot against me, or your cousin? ”

"Princess, I want to remind you." Cen Muning was not angry, and her tone was quite calm: "This matter, just rot in your stomach." Don't mention it in front of my cousin, your husband. Otherwise, your life won't be easy either. ”

"Are you threatening me?" Ziyang was annoyed.

"Not really." Cen Muning's tone was slightly serious: "It's just a kind reminder." Naturally, it is up to you to decide whether to believe or not to believe. ”
