When night fell, the Fengling Hall was unusually quiet. Away from the hustle and bustle of a hundred flowers blooming in the daytime, such a time makes people's hearts empty and restless.

Cen Muning sat in front of the dressing mirror, took off the golden hairpin on her sideburns and rested it on the table. It's just a little light, but it sounds so dull.

The wind ruffled the window lattice, as if it was going to rain.

"Mother, it's all ready." Bingling came in at this time, and said softly: "I'm just waiting for news over there." ”

"Hmm." Cen Muning nodded slightly: "It's going to rain, let's move out these pots of flowers in the room." Spring rains are as precious as oil, and they also moisturize and moisturize. ”

"Yes." Bingling smiled and nodded, turned around and walked out with a pot of begonias.

The rough maids opened the door one by one, and the people outside the door startled Bingling. "Your Majesty...... Greetings to the emperor. ”

Cen Muning heard that Zhuang Chenchen was coming, and hurriedly got up and walked over to greet him: "The emperor came over at this time, why didn't he let people spread the word?" The concubines did not greet them, and asked the emperor to forgive them. ”

"Good news came from the DPRK and China, and your uncle really lived up to my expectations, with three battles in a row and triumph one after another." Zhuang Chen's tone was much more hearty than usual. He stepped into the threshold and helped Cen Muning with a hand: "The queen is exempt." ”

"It is indeed a happy event for my uncle to win successes one after another, and the concubine congratulated the emperor." Cen Muning didn't notice any changes in herself, but Zhuang Chenchen saw these changes.

After he sat down, Cen Muning sat down next to him, took the tea cup from Bingling's hand, and handed it to him. "Recently, the concubines like to drink this slightly bitter green tea, your Majesty, try it."

"Hmm." Zhuang Chenchen took a sip of the teacup and tasted it: "It's really slightly bitter, taste it carefully, it's not fresh." ”

"If the emperor likes it, turn around and ask Qingli to send you some Qingxuandian." Cen Muning maintained a proper smile, she thought it was just right. In fact, it is very detached.

After tasting tea, the two sat silently, relatively silent.

Zhuang Chenchen kept silent, waiting for her to speak. But Cen Muning felt a little awkward in her heart, and she didn't want to keep him with her at this time.

Especially when she smelled that he was contaminated with the fat powder that others liked, she couldn't get over this hurdle in her heart.

"The queen doesn't want to stay?" Zhuang Chenchen still asked first.

"Not really." Cen Muning smiled awkwardly: "It's just that the concubine was not summoned and was not prepared...... Still...... I didn't take a shower or change clothes. It's better to let Bingling take some pastries for the emperor to taste, and Rong Chen's concubine will prepare ......"

"That means the queen wants to stay in me?" Zhuang Chenchen looked into her eyes and asked.

"Your Majesty, there is no one in the harem who does not want to be accompanied by the emperor." Cen Mooning just said that.

"I'm not asking them, I'm asking you." Zhuang Chenchen looked at Cen Muning's eyes: "Are you avoiding me, don't you feel it yourself?" ”

Cen Muning didn't want to explain, and she didn't explain. She thought that she could cover up her resistance to him and pity silently, but it turned out that it was still easily exposed. When the emperor said this, the concubines didn't know how to answer. It may be that Fengling Hall has been quiet for a long time recently, and the concubines have forgotten what it was like before for a while. Please also ask the emperor to forgive the sin. ”

Zhuang Chenchen reached out and held her hand, frowned, and said, "I have indeed snubbed you these days, making you feel heartfelt." ”

"Reunited after a long absence, and experienced all kinds of hardships, even if the emperor prefers the concubine, it is reasonable. What's more, she really suffered a lot. Cen Muning used this set of rhetoric to convince Zhuang Chen, she was not hostile to Cang Lian, and she didn't know how much he could believe.

Zhuang Chenchen took her into his arms as before, and gently patted her back: "The queen is virtuous, I am very comforted." ”

Cen Mu held her breath and hid all her resistance in her heart. It's not the first time she's taken advantage of this man, and it's not a big deal to take advantage of it one more time.

It's just that the emperor came over at this time, and many things are not so convenient.

Cen Muning's heart was beating a little fast, but it wasn't because she loved him.

Zhuang Chenchen could feel her heart beating vigorously and with joy.

The affection here is lingering, gentle and gentle, and it has not affected the intensive deployment of the prayer hall in the slightest.

Liao Rongyu and Xinwei knelt in front of the Buddha and chanted in a low voice, but they were quite uneasy in their hearts, and they only waited for the opportunity to act.

"The two sisters are still chanting so late!" Cang Lian walked in slowly, but her tone and eyes were a little sharp. "You are praying for the blessing of the Queen Mother, and you are really filial."

When Xin Wei saw her come in, there was a hint of coolness in her eyes: "Why did Concubine Pity come?" ”

Liao Rongyu hurriedly got up and saluted to Cang Lian: "Pity the concubine Wanfu." ”

"Excuse me." Cang Lian walked straight to the Buddha and smiled: "The Queen Mother is also the former master of this palace, how can this palace not worry about her phoenix health." Besides, the two sisters are filial and virtuous, and the concubines don't want to be compared, so they naturally have to learn something. ”

Xin Wei and Liao Rongyu glanced at each other uneasily, knowing each other's worries.

"It's just that at this time, shouldn't the concubine Niangniang accompany the holy driver?" Xin Wei deliberately soured: "How can Niangniang pull away." ”

"The two sisters don't know yet, do they?" Cang Lianrao smiled, and there was a little spring light in his eyes: "The emperor went to the queen's bedroom tonight." General Chu has won three consecutive battles, and the Sacred Heart is happy, of course such a happy thing must be shared with the queen mother. ”

Liao Rongyu was alert, and immediately understood that she had deliberately let the emperor drag the queen's footsteps.

In this way, she may also know that the three of them are planning to be.

"Concubine Niangniang, what are you doing here?" Liao Rongyu was thinking about how to persuade her to leave, when she saw Cang Lian kneeling in front of the Buddha.

"Of course, it's chanting and praying." Cang Lian smiled suspiciously: "Otherwise, what else can you do?" ”

"I don't know who it is, even the Queen Mother has calculated. If it weren't for this person's ruthlessness, how would the Queen Mother have ended up like this. "Xinwei just wanted her to leave quickly, so she deliberately said ugly things to provoke her." This person is now running to the Buddha to chant sutras, is it a confession or a cat crying mouse, when everyone else is blind, can't you see it? ”

"Poof." Far from being angry, Cang Lian smiled brightly. "Xinmei said this, did she deliberately want to make Hongu angry? But in fact, the palace did calculate the queen mother, and the queen mother is now down like this, and the day is not safe, which is also the result of the palace's revenge. This matter is not only your speculation, but the emperor also knows about it. On the day the palace entered the palace, he carefully presented it to the emperor and got the emperor's understanding. ”

Liao Rongyu and Xin Wei glanced at each other, and both of them were stunned.

"What? You must be weird. Cang Lian looked at the Buddha statue in front of him, and said lightly: "The emperor can forgive this palace for doing such a thing, but this is a trick that others can't learn." Want to know exactly? ”

"Since it's a wrist that can't be learned, what can you do if you don't know it?" Xin Wei scolded her, and said with a cold face: "Since the concubine is so resentful of the Queen Mother, why bother to act here!" ”

"Isn't it?" Liao Rongyu frowned and said: "The emperor is lenient, and it is not uncommon to be able to forgive the concubine." But the Buddha's eyes are bright, what did the concubine do, she was not afraid of the Buddha's punishment? ”

"So isn't this palace here to repent!" Cang Lian was still reluctant to leave, and gently opened the scriptures in front of her. "Don't the two elder sisters like this palace to chant with you here?"

"Naturally, I don't like it." Xinwei's tone was serious, and her face was even worse: "The noble concubine is noble, and she is the most precious treasure in the emperor's heart, how can it be compared with the concubines." The concubines and others accompanied the concubine to chant the scriptures, and they must be cautious, and they dare not make the slightest mistake. All the thoughts are on the concubine, where can you sincerely chant and pray for blessings? Isn't this deceiving the Buddha? ”

"Huh." Cang Lian turned her face to look at Liao Rongyu again: "Sister Liao thinks the same way?" ”

"Nature." Liao Rongyu also nodded.

Cang Lian sighed lightly: "The two sisters seem to really don't like this palace. However, is it because of this dislike, or is there another reason? ”

As soon as she asked, Liao Rongyu's heart shrank fiercely, and her face was cold and a little scary. "What does the concubine want to say?"

"That's right, there is no ...... to add to the sin" Before the last word was spoken, Xinwei's eyes were bulging, and she watched Cang Lian pick up the Buddhist scripture in her hand from the ground.

There was a slight "clatter", as if something had been torn off.

Liao Rongyu and Xinwei's hearts skipped a beat, and the two of them looked at the Buddha statue in horror, holding their breath, and they didn't dare to come out.

However, everything was calm and there was nothing wrong with it.

Cang Lian was surprised, and thought to himself, shouldn't this Buddha statue fall down? Could it be that the queen has changed her mind?

Of course, she didn't ask, just looked at the two of them quietly.

Liao Rongyu came to her senses at this time, raised her eyebrows and said: "Since the poor concubine Niangniang likes to chant and pray for the Queen Mother so much, then stay here and continue to pray for blessings." The concubine has been kneeling all day, physically and mentally exhausted, and will not be accompanied. ”

She winked at Xin Wei as she saluted.

Xinwei understood, and also saluted and left.

Cang Lian got up at this time, and said unhurriedly: "That's it, it's better for you to stay here and pray and chant sutras." After all, it was you who did something wrong and smashed the heart of the palace, so that the emperor could dissipate his anger and ask for blessings. The palace is tired, so I have to go back and rest early. ”

Liao Rongyu and Xinwei didn't squeak, and they were relieved to watch her leave softly and slowly.

"She seems to know something, but why hasn't this Buddha fallen?" Xin Wei asked Liao Rongyu uneasily.

"I don't know ......" Liao Rongyu was also confused, originally said that the queen would come to visit, but when she was praying for blessings, she was shocked and injured by the fallen Buddha, which made the emperor have to suspect that someone had done something to her. How could the poor concubine tear off the mechanism that pulled the Buddha statue, and why didn't the Buddha statue fall?

"I'll take a look." Xin Wei said uneasily.

"Nope." Liao Rongyu took her hand: "This thing is weird, why don't you rush in." Just do what you have to do. ”

This night, the two of them were very worried, for fear that the Buddha statue would fall down carelessly and really hurt people.

But until dawn, everything was normal in the prayer hall, and there was nothing wrong with it.

At dawn, Liao Rongyu hurriedly asked people to tell the queen about last night's incident.
