Immediately, the courtiers knelt on the ground together, "Your Majesty ......"

"Okay, you all get up, I will return the throne to King Chen, and if there is King Chen in Beichen, I am not afraid that I will not be able to enrich the country and strengthen the army." After finishing speaking, Nangong slowly slipped down comfortably.

"Your Majesty? Emperor! Moon Shadow and Moon Hua wept bitterly.

Looking at the heartbroken appearance of the two of them crying, no one could guess what they were thinking. They originally came to make peace, but in just a few months, the emperor died, so they will change from favorite concubines to concubines, and they will have to endure loneliness for the rest of their lives.

The emperor died, and the saddest person who cried was the queen mother, whether she was crying for herself or for the emperor, everyone could see that her tears were sincere, not disguised.

When the emperor died, according to the laws of Beichen, all those who had no children below the concubine position had to be dismissed from the palace, and those who had children above the concubine position could live with their children, and those who had no children would all move to the Jingxin Garden to worship the Buddha.

Originally, she was the mother of the first house, and at this time, several people lived in a courtyard, but the rooms were different according to the different positions.

The news of the death of Emperor Beichen soon spread throughout the four countries, hearing the news, the people of Beichen were all overjoyed, for them, it doesn't matter who is the emperor, as long as it is not the emperor who harms the people.

When the emperor died, the throne was naturally inherited by King Chen, not to mention, King Chen's hands still have the edict of the first emperor to prove it. Because of Nangong's comfort, several surrounding countries began to move again, and they all wanted to take advantage of the civil strife in Beichen to get a piece of the pie, and King Chen had not officially ascended the throne, so he led his troops to fight to meet him, and Chu Lixue was also preparing to move into the palace from King Chen's mansion.

Fengluan Palace is the place where the queens of the past dynasties lived, and it is also the only palace in the same straight line as the emperor's bedroom. The previous White Queen was full of peonies in the palace, maybe she had to do this to remind others that she was the queen of a country.

Chu Lixue walked in the palace, Ning Xiang and Remnant Xue Wanyue followed closely behind, and at this moment, a little eunuch came over with a smile and said: "Niangniang, this palace is too big, you will be tired when you walk on the road, the slave has already passed the shoulders over, please take a seat." ”

"Thank you father-in-law, I don't know if my father-in-law is ......" Chu Lixue rarely enters the palace, and she is even more afraid to be interested in the people and things in the palace, but the situation is different now, she doesn't want to care, and she has to take care of it, especially the flattering master in front of her, she must figure out the origin.

"Back to Niangniang's words, the slave is the little blessing of the respectful room, knowing that Niangniang is familiar with the palace, and is worried that Niangniang is tired of the phoenix body, so he came with his shoulder." Xiao Fuzi smiled and said.

"Little Fuzi? Are you the head of the worship room? Chu Lixue wondered. When watching costume dramas, all eunuchs such as the chief manager are basically called by name, as for what little Fuzi and Xiao Xizi are just convenient for those big eunuchs.

"Back to Niangniang's words, the slave is the apprentice of Gonggong Kang, the head of the worship room, and the slave heard that Niangniang is going to move into the palace today, and he ordered someone to sort out the Fengluan Palace early in the morning, just waiting for you to move in."

"Fengluan Palace?" Chu Lixue frowned slightly. It's not that I don't know that Fengluan Palace is the residence of the queen, but the first emperor has just been in the sky for a few days, and King Chen is not in a hurry to ascend the throne, and they are so anxious to please the new master. Besides, if she lives in Fengluan Palace, what about the Bai family? What did she do?

Everyone is also a woman, and all the previous things are just because of different positions, now Nangong Anyi has passed away, the Bai family has no maiden family, and offended the queen mother, it is difficult to settle down in the harem.

"Yes, Niangniang, the emperor is on a campaign, you are the biggest in this palace, and the minions naturally want to respect you." Xiaofuzi said with a smile.

"And what about the original queen?"

"Oh, she's waiting for you in the side hall of Fengluan Palace. Mother, go up to your shoulders and let the minions carry you. ”

Hearing this, Chu Lixue bowed slightly, and was supported by Ning Xiang on her shoulders, and several young eunuchs walked quickly and steadily, and after a while, they arrived at the door of Fengluan Palace.

The eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting at the gate of the palace saw Chu Lixue and knelt down to ask for peace together, "The slave asks for peace for the queen." "The slave maid greets the queen."

Hearing this, Chu Lixue couldn't help but sigh that this world was hot and cold, if she was just Princess Chen, maybe they would be more respectful, what if it was an ordinary person? I'm afraid I won't even look at myself with a straight eye. Chu Lixue didn't bother to pay attention to these little people, she was used to seeing people in the palace worship high and low.

Coming to the side hall, Bai was pacing anxiously inside, and when he saw Chu Lixue coming, he hurriedly pulled his daughter to kneel, seeing this, Chu Lixue hurriedly helped Bai up, "Excuse me, anyway, I haven't knelt for you much before, I thank you for telling the truth that day, just say what you have planned, if you can do it, I will do it." ”

This is also the only thing Chu Lixue can help the Bai family, and she believes that the Bai family will not make any excessive demands. Bai Shi thought for a moment and said slowly: "Queen Mother, I ......"

"No, you still call me Princess Chen, my prince is not the emperor." Chu Lixue said lightly.

Hearing Chu Lixue say this, the Bai family was very surprised, this throne was originally King Chen's, he just took back what belonged to him, how could he not ascend the throne? Did he have any concerns?

"Why didn't King Chen ascend the throne? Is it for the emperor? Bai Shi wondered. In her opinion, King Chen should ascend the throne immediately, anyway, he is going to go on the expedition, and the royal expedition is completely different from the prince's expedition.

"The border war is still in turmoil, and there are still many people who covet everything in Beichen, so naturally they have to go outside before they can settle inside, not to mention, there is no trouble in Beichen's court, and I am still presiding over the affairs in the palace, and it is not too late to wait for the prince to come back and discuss it." Chu Lixue said lightly.

"I see. Actually, I'm waiting for you here, just to ask you to agree to let me out of the palace, I want to leave here with my daughter and find a place where no one knows us to live a peaceful life. ”

"Leaving the palace? You have to think clearly, you have lived a good life since you were a child, and you have to leave with your children, how are you going to live? Chu Lixue said with concern.

"I ......," Bai said dumbly. She really didn't think about this problem, she just thought about leaving such a deceitful place with her children, but she didn't think about how they would live after they left, there was no one in the Bai family anymore, and she didn't want to stay with those women in the harem, leaving might be the best choice.

Looking at Bai's appearance, Chu Lixue felt that she was very pitiful, and thought for a moment and said, "In this way, since you don't want to live in the palace, you can take your daughter to the small courtyard in the north of the city first." ”

The small courtyard in the north of the city, the Bai family is naturally very clear, it is a courtyard where her mother is married, who knows that later the Bai family was down, and all the properties of the Bai family were also collected into the treasury, but I didn't expect Princess Chen to give her a small courtyard to live in.

"Thank you." After that, the Bai family was going to kneel down again, Chu Lixue may not know that it was her mother's dowry, but that far-sighted courtyard was not an ordinary courtyard in her heart.

When she was young, her mother often took her there to escape the heat, although the yard was small, but there was a hundred-year-old tree to enjoy the coolness, and there was a grape trellis in the yard, when she was young, she often sat under the grape trellis to play, thinking about it, Bai's tears soaked the placket on her chest, and the little princess hurriedly wiped away the tears on Bai's face with her hands, and said softly: "The queen mother doesn't cry, Ning'er is obedient." ”

As soon as the little princess said this, Bai's inner defense completely collapsed, and she took the little princess into her arms, "Good child, my mother doesn't cry, my mother is happy, and ah, don't call my mother in the future, Princess Chen is the queen." ”

Hearing this, the little princess looked at Chu Lixue suspiciously, and immediately turned her head and asked, "Queen Mother, doesn't my father want us again?" ”

"No, it's not. Ning'er, your father has passed away, and the current emperor is King Chen. ”

After listening to Bai's words, the little princess fell into Bai's arms and cried loudly, it turned out that her father was no longer there, even if her father didn't like her very much, but as long as her father was there, she could live in the palace, and if she wanted to see her father, she could see her. And now, with her father dead, she will never see her again, and she will leave the place she knows well.

Seeing the little princess crying sadly, Chu Lixue didn't know how to comfort her, why should a child bear the wrong thing that an adult did? She is still so young, and it is time to enjoy the love of her parents. Wouldn't it be too cruel to send their mother and daughter out of the palace?

Chu Lixue's mind was seen through by Ning Xiang, and then Ning Qi gently patted Chu Lixue's hand and said, "Niangniang, everyone has their own fate, although the little princess is pitiful, but it is also because of her father." If the mother can't bear it, the slave and maid will personally bring someone to send some rice and silver later, as long as their mother and daughter have no worries about food and clothing, the mother will be relieved. ”

"Well, okay, then I'll leave it to you." Chu Lixue said lightly.

In a blink of an eye, King Chen has been gone for three months, and he doesn't know what happened to him and Jiang Tian now, he was originally going to keep Jiang Tian in Cloud City, but he was eager to make meritorious contributions, glorify the lintel of Jiang Guo's mansion, and use his efforts to erase the shame of Jiang Guo's mansion.

Shangguan Tianyu entered the palace to meet Chu Lixue, and saw that she was sitting in the courtyard in a daze, so he couldn't help but lighten his steps and didn't bother, just stood quietly beside Chu Lixue, waiting for her to retract her thoughts.

After about a cup of tea, Chu Lixue slowly retracted her thoughts, picked up the tea on the table, and took a sip gently, the tea was already cold, and she had been sitting for so long.

Raising her eyes, Chu Lixue saw Shangguan Tianyu, "You're here, why don't you call me?" ”

"I see you're thinking about things and can't bear to bother. I entered the palace today to deliver a letter to King Chen. After finishing speaking, Shangguan Tianyu handed a bamboo tube that had been sealed with a candle to Chu Lixue's hand.
