"The queen is blessed and healthy, and she is happy and happy." On the main hall of the Fengling Palace, the concubines saluted neatly, and their voices were crisp.

They were all surprised to see the queen appear in front of them with a radiant face.

I have to say that this serious illness not only did not affect the entire harem, but also saved herself and the emperor's eldest son, and the queen does have some ability.

So the concubines were all very respectful, and even when they were dressed, they were much cleaner than when the emperor was in the palace, and they all looked cautious.

After Cen Muning sat firmly on Bingling's hand, she looked around at the concubines in the hall. "I haven't seen you for many days, and it's wonderful for you sisters to look at you. It's autumn today. The autumn in the imperial city is crisp, the most comfortable, the palace has instructed the Internal Affairs Bureau, for you to rush to make autumn clothes, and will be sent to the palaces when you turn back. ”

The concubines stood up again and saluted in unison: "Thank you for the grace of the queen." ”

"Sit down." Cen Muning glanced at the leading concubine twice, and said with a smile: "Concubine Min's body is much better." ”

Yang Yunbi nodded with a smile: "Thank you for the queen's care, the concubine is much better." ”

"That's good." Cen Mooning glanced at her. Cang Pian sat there expressionlessly, looking a little thinner. It's not nice to be hurt by someone you care about.

"Why does the concubine seem to be lighter? Don't you miss the emperor day and night, and you can't sleep and eat, right? Cen Muning smiled slightly: "Don't worry, the emperor only sent a letterhead into the palace last night, and everything is fine." ”

Cang Lian raised her head and looked at the queen's deep eyes, and her heart sank. Her expression, her eyes, looked so similar to the emperor. For a moment, it was as if I saw the emperor standing in front of me. "Let the queen smile. Where are the concubines, up and down the palace, which sister doesn't miss the emperor like this. Even the queen must not be able to sleep at night. ”

Cen Muning didn't pick up, and her eyes fell on Ruan Er. "Concubine Ying's days must not be very good."

Ruan Er raised her head, and smiled at the corner of her lips: "The queen mother has taken care of Zizhou in every way, and Zizhou is now recovering, and the concubines are grateful." I haven't thanked the queen for her kindness. ”

As soon as she got up, and before she could salute, she heard Cang Lian chuckle.

"Concubine Ying, it's too foreign for you to say that." Cang Lian pursed her lips slightly, smiling: "Where does the queen need you to thank you." Zizhou was originally the eldest son of the emperor, and the queen mother was his mother-in-law. My grandmother takes care of my concubine, and it's not your turn to thank you. ”

Soft Er couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when she said this, and she hurriedly lowered her head: "The queen mother, please forgive the concubine for her recklessness." ”

"Ice Cream." Cen Muning glanced at her.

"Yes." Bingling clapped his hands three times in a row, and the two nurses slowly walked up to the hall from behind with Zizhou in their arms.

"Zizhou ......" As soon as Ruan Er saw the child, his eyes suddenly brightened, and the whole person seemed to have spirit.

"Zizhou's body has just recovered, but it is still a little weak." Cen Mu condensed her eyebrows and said: "The nurse chosen by the palace for her is finally dedicated, and the child has sunk a little bit in the past few days. Bingling, hold it to the concubine and take a look. ”

Ruan Er didn't expect the queen to allow her to hug Zizhou, and tears of excitement swirled in her eyes. "Thank you, Queen."

Such a young child has experienced so many things, although the queen said that he ate a little heavier, but in his arms, he was still so light and fluttering. Ruan Er was distressed and couldn't wait to bear it for this child, but she knew that if there was another person in this palace who could save this poor child, that person must be the queen.

"Thank you, Queen." She hugged Zizhou, hugged and hugged, and couldn't help crying.

"Look at you, isn't this kid fine?" Cang Lian glanced at the child's face: "Fortunately, the acne did not leave any traces on the child's face, and it looks the same as before, white and clean." Otherwise, if the emperor sees it, maybe he won't like it. ”

"How so?" Yang Yunbi also got up and took two steps to this side, laughing and going to tease Zizhou. "This is the emperor's first prince, how could the emperor not like it. When the poor concubine said this, it made people feel that she was suspected of not being able to eat grapes and saying that grapes were sour. ”

"It seems that Concubine Min's injuries are indeed good." Cang Lian sneered and raised his chin slightly: "Even the mouth is becoming more and more clever." ”

"It's not that you're becoming more and more clever, but in the past, the concubine was a noble concubine, and the concubine naturally didn't dare to talk to you like this. After all, the palace rules are strict, and the following crimes are guilty of disobedience. Now that you are on an equal footing with the palace, you are in the concubine position, and when you talk to you, you naturally don't have to be extraordinarily respectful. If you say anything unpleasant, this palace can naturally ridicule each other, this is the way people get along with each other. ”

Cang Lian strained her face, looked at her with a pair of angry eyes, and gently hooked her lips: "Concubine Min is so hostile to this palace, why?" Is it to blame the emperor for being too intimate and jealous of the palace? Jealousy is also not allowed by the palace rules. ”

"Then except for the queen mother in this palace, I'm afraid there is no one who is not jealous." Bingling smiled and said, "Concubine Niangniang is the most distressed person in the emperor. ”

But her eyes were saying, the emperor doesn't even allow you to have a child, what is there to be jealous of.

Cang Lian was beaten wildly by her offensive heart, and her face changed and changed, but she never said a word.

"I haven't heard you speak for a long time, and the palace may not be so lively for a long time." Cen Muning coughed lightly and said slowly: "It's just that the body of this palace has only healed a little, and it is a little unbearable." That's all for now. ”

"The queen must take good care of herself." While Yang Yunbi saluted, she couldn't care about a word.

"Hmm." Cen Mu nodded slightly: "You also have to take care of your own body." ”

The rest of the concubines then got up and saluted the queen.

Soft Er was a little reluctant to exchange Zizhou for Bingling. A pair of eyes looked at the sleeping child for a moment, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

Lei Zhen only took care of Concubine Ying's expression at this time, thinking that she cared for her child like this, and she must not want to let this child completely become the queen. Now the child is still young and does not remember anything. When the child is older, the queen can't tolerate her.

In a trance, I suddenly heard Qingli coming and said to Concubine Ying to stay.

Lei Zhen raised her head and followed the voice.

Sure enough, I saw Qingli leading her to the queen's inner room.

What does this mean? Lei Zhen was a little confused.

In the inner room, there are two excellent pots of crape myrtle. Although it is past the height of summer, the flowers are still blooming luxuriantly.

"Thank you for the queen's mother's distress about Zizhou so much, the concubine knows that if it weren't for the mother's troubles, Zizhou might not be able to survive now." As she spoke, she burst into tears, with remorse and self-reproach in her eyes.

"You know why this kid is in such poor health now." Cen Mooning didn't give her a good look, and her tone was a little cold. "When you were pregnant, you didn't think about how to raise a baby with peace of mind, and your mind was full of using this child to compete for favor, and even did not hesitate to use him to achieve your goals. In the end, the child is born prematurely, the body is weak, and if you don't pay attention to it, you may die. ”

"It's the concubine's fault." Cang couldn't help but nod pitifully: "The queen mother taught me a lesson." ”

"This palace didn't leave you alone to teach you a lesson." Cen Muning sighed softly: "No one's care can compare to the child's biological mother." He is not as good as you to nurture him. ”

When she heard this, she was surprised: "What does the queen mean...... Let the concubines take care of Zizhou? ”

"Nature." Cen Mooning nodded.

"Nope." Ruan Er immediately knelt down: "The concubine is indeed very reluctant to give up this child, but the concubine understands better than anyone else that in this deep palace, only the queen can protect Zizhou." The concubine didn't plan for him at all......"

Bingling and Qingli glanced at each other when they heard her say this. That means she understands it alive.

Cen Muning sighed slightly: "If you can't, this palace can." ”

Her mind was not on this child at all at this time. What is Zhuang Chen's war outside, what are his plans after returning to the palace, what is the future of the Chu family, and what is the grievance between her and Cang Lian, this is what she is most concerned about.

"This palace can take care of him for a while, but not for a lifetime." Cen Mu stared and said, "Your child, it is most appropriate for you to take care of it yourself." This palace will make it clear to the emperor that the child will stay with you until he is six years old and raise him. As soon as needed, the palace will also be carefully handled, you can rest assured. After the age of six, according to the rules of the dynasty, the children should live in a separate palace and go to school with a master to guide their schoolwork. At that time, you will really be able to feel at ease. ”

"Thank you for your kindness." Rouer was no longer able to weep. She thought that the queen would be cruel to her, and broke her thoughts early. didn't expect the queen to be so generous and able to return the child to her.

"The child's first birthday is passed quietly, and it is also wronged by your mother and son." Cen Muning raised his hand, and Qingli presented the things he had prepared in the morning. "This is the first birthday gift that this palace has prepared for him."

It was an excellent jade pendant, and the dragon scales on it were lifelike.

Ruan Er fell to the ground and kowtowed to the queen in a choked voice: "The concubine was confused and did many wrong things, but the queen mother was so tolerant, not only did she not blame the past, but she also loved the concubine's mother and son so much, and the life of the concubine is the mother's from today on." No matter what the mother wants the concubine to do, the concubine has nothing to say. ”

As she spoke, she reached for a whistle from her waist. "This is given by the Queen Mother in the past, and this whistle is used to dispatch some of the Queen Mother's secret whistles. The matter of the Chu family's rebellion, the concubine also went to check on the secret whistle, and found that the person who took pity on the concubine had already been monitoring this matter. Now the concubine handed over the whistle and asked the queen to deal with it. ”

Bingling took the whistle and presented it to the Queen.

"How many people are there in the hands of the concubine?" Cen Mu asked with staring eyes.

"The concubines don't know. She had been imprisoned by the Queen Mother for many years, and all of them had died with her. Even the concubine saw her before she knew that she was still alive. And those who had been dispatched by her had long been assigned otherwise. But this time, it is not difficult to see that there must be a secret whistle in the hands of the concubine. Please also ask the queen to be careful. ”

"Hmm." Cen Mu Ning nodded slightly: "This palace has already sent someone to rearrange your dormitory, when everything is ready, take Zizhou back while the sky is not cold yet." ”

"Thank you, Queen, for your kindness." Ruan Er knelt on the ground, crying and trembling: "Thank you, Niangniang." ”

After someone sent her away, Qingli dared to ask: "Niang Niang really plans to let go of Concubine Ying and return the child to her to raise?" ”

"Nature." Cen Muning nodded: "That was originally her child." The separation of mother and child is the most painful thing in the world. I hope she won't live up to this kindness. ”
