Cining Palace, the ground is paved with smooth mirror-like gold bricks, and the dust is painted with bright color decorations. There are all kinds of antique porcelain vases in the room, and in the center is a white jade statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, which is spotless; On the long table below is a gilded three-legged incense burner carved with mountains, rivers, sun and moon, and in the red light, the fragrance of the fragrance curls out of the intoxicating ambergris.

The Queen Mother held the pen in her hand and was concentrating on copying the Buddhist scriptures, but found that the ink in the inkstone was a little uneven, raised her head and turned her eyes to look at Pei Lan who was grinding ink on the side, frowned slightly, and said: "How did you lose your soul today, look at the ink you studied." โ€

Pei Lan looked at the uneven ink in the inkstone, and hurriedly acknowledged the sin, "The queen mother is angry, and the slave will go to change the water to study it for you again." โ€

The Queen Mother gently put down her pen, "That's it, let's copy so much today, copying scriptures must be concentrated to appear pious, this delay is disrespectful to the Bodhisattva." But you, who are the most stable on weekdays, how could you make such a mistake? Tell me what happened, and tell the mourners about it. โ€

Pei Lan smiled disguisedly, "What can a slave do?" It's just that the Queen Mother's handwriting is good-looking, and she is distracted. โ€

"Huh?" The Queen Mother was a little unhappy, and said in a nasal voice, "You just came?" Have you ever seen the mourning family write today? When you say such a reason, you are not afraid to flash your tongue. โ€

Pei Lan knew that it was not good to hide it any longer, and after hesitating for a moment, she reluctantly smiled: "The Queen Mother is angry, the slave maid heard about something last night, and she should have told it to you, but I was afraid that you would be unpleasant to listen to, thinking about why bother you with that thing that catches the wind and shadows, so I was distracted for a while." โ€

The Queen Mother glanced at her and said lightly: "Let's talk about it, if you don't say it, sooner or later someone will say it to the mourning family." โ€

"The first legend in the palace-" Pei Lan looked at the Queen Mother's expression cautiously, and rushed out, "The King of Han committed such a big thing, and the emperor has always kept him, because the Queen Mother interceded for him, saying that the Queen Mother had a personal affair with the King of Han in the old days. โ€

She spoke quickly and quickly, as if she was afraid that if she was one step slower, she would not have the courage to finish speaking.

This sentence, Rao is Queen Mother has been recuperating over the years, and she was shocked when she heard it, and a fine light shot out of her eyes: "When did it start to spread?" Who's passing it on? โ€

"It seems to be the matter of these two days, Mama Shan has already asked someone to beat some talkative minions before, no one should dare to say nonsense, but I heard that this came from the King of Han, and the slave is afraid that if he has any bad words, in the end, it has become what you usually call the crowd of gold, accumulating and destroying bones, so I really don't dare to hide it......"

The Queen Mother's brows furrowed even tighter, "Although King Han is confused, he shouldn't talk nonsense about those things about Chen Sesame and rotten grains, and again, when he hears such words, don't the people who guard him go up?" I'm afraid that someone with ulterior motives will spread some rumors and rumors, so that the emperor and the mourning family mother and son will be separated. No, the mourning family has to go to the Xiaoyao Palace, and quickly figure out what is going on. โ€

Pei Lan hurriedly stopped: "The Queen Mother thinks twice, if you go to see it yourself, the slave and maid are worried, but something bad will happen." Seeing that the Queen Mother was puzzled, she hurriedly said, "Queen Mother, think about it, if the person who spread this sentence really has ulterior motives, if you go and ask in person, in the eyes of others, don't you think that you are going to the King of Han to catch up with the old days, I am afraid that the fake will be taken as true, and if the emperor knows about it at that time......"

The Queen Mother was angry, "The mourning family and the King of Han are both old, is it possible that at this time, they will still break the connection with the King of Han and be unclear?" Now in this Forbidden City, I don't know anything, I'm afraid that what you said is only a little bit, if you don't ask to understand, I'm afraid that one day it will be spread all over the capital, and the mourning family is still in the dark. โ€

Pei Lan lowered her head and lowered her eyes, not daring to stop the Queen Mother anymore, so she only blindly persuaded bitterly: "The Queen Mother is angry, the people in this palace are idle, and they often like to talk about the masters, but they are just gossip, you know in your heart, why bother to ask for an understanding......

The Queen Mother's words were like ice, and she glared at Pei Lan and said: "First you swallow and vomit, this is said and stop the mourning family, you have been by the mourning family for so many years, you should know the things in this palace, all the gossip about the masters, the earliest will not come out of the mouths of the slaves, if this matter is not found out that the people who are behind the trouble, I am afraid that they will be as bastard as you, thinking that in this harem, they can turn the sky up at will, now they talk about the mourning family, tomorrow they can talk about the emperor, and the latter one, they can tell the outside about the Forbidden City." At such a time, you dare to stop the mourning family! โ€

Pei Lan knew the temper of the Queen Mother, the more angry she was, the more flat her tone became, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to answer again, so she only lowered her head and lowered her hand, standing aside and silent.

The Queen Mother hadn't suppressed all her anger, but she saw Ruixiang open the curtain and come in and say, "Queen Mother, the Queen is here!" โ€

Hu Shanxiang walked in and saluted solemnly: "The concubine asks the queen mother to be safe, and the queen mother is blessed with gold!" โ€

The Queen Mother, who was still a little angry, looked kind at the moment, "Why did you come to Cining Palace so late tonight, it's not that the mourning family said you, you are pregnant now, don't you dare to be careless, walking at night, you are most afraid of colliding with the gods, and you will not allow it in the future." โ€

Hu Shanxiang knelt on the ground, and the red gold and silk nine phoenixes on her sideburns shook for a while, as if she was confused and intertwined, she pressed her chest with her hand, as if to encourage herself to make up her mind.

"The queen mother, the concubines have something to ask for."

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked Ruixiang to help her up, and wondered: "You are pregnant, why do you want to make this big gift, what is the matter?" โ€

"The concubine asks you to allow the emperor to change the imperial concubine to the queen!"

Hu Shanxiang spoke very slowly, almost word by word, but it was like a soldier fighting each other, and the sound of the clanging was deafening.

The Queen Mother, who had never been moved, was shocked, and suddenly got up, the jasper hairpin on the cloud temples swayed, and the thin pearl tassels were decorated with a fluttering sound, Hu Shanxiang's words hit her ears like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, "What did you say?" Do you know what you're talking about? โ€

"The concubine asks for the queen mother, please allow the emperor to change the imperial concubine to the queen!"

Pei Lan and Rui Xiang on the side also listened and were shocked.

Seeing the Empress Dowager's angry expression, Zhu Fu hurriedly stepped forward and wiped the fine beads of sweat on Hu Shanxiang's forehead with the brocade handkerchief in his hand, and comforted: "The queen mother is joking with the queen mother, right?" Could it be that you are afraid that the Queen Mother and the Emperor's mother and son will have the same heart and will not protect you, so you can't test the Queen Mother with such words? Isn't this queen's throne yours? How can you say that you can change it? โ€

Hu Shanxiang knew that this was Zhu Fu hinting that he was changing his words, so as not to make the Queen Mother angry, but he only smiled at Zhu Fu, gently pushed her hand away, and met the Queen Mother's questioning eyes, "Queen Mother, everyone else in this queen said that it should be the imperial concubine, why should the concubine sit on this and annoy people!" โ€

The Queen Mother closed her eyes, looked at Hu Shanxiang's slightly upright lower abdomen, and finally restrained the anger in her heart, and said warmly: "Why did the queen say such a lard?" But what did someone out there say that they shouldn't have heard? Although you are now pregnant, you should accumulate blessings for the prince and not increase the number of evils, but for such a slave who chews his tongue, he should pull out his tongue so that they can no longer speak, why do you want to let the virtuous instead? The mourning family has never heard the emperor say that he wants to change the imperial concubine to the queen, even if you want to make Xian, there is no way to let go. โ€

"Queen Mother-" Hu Shanxiang burst into tears, on weekdays, she is also a very strong person, for some reason, pregnant with a child, she wants to be thoughtful about everything, but she is fragile, and what happened today really makes her heart uneasy, and then hearing the warm words of the Queen Mother, I feel that the grievances I have suffered have a place to bear, and I just want to say it clearly and cleanly.

"The queen mother, the concubines also know that these hearsay words can't be trusted, but now the concubines and the imperial concubines are both princes in their wombs, and the concubines are middle-spirited, how can the concubines not worry?" Hu Shanxiang's eyes churned with struggle and hesitation, "Moreover, the queen mother also knows in your heart that the emperor's heart has not been broken for a day, and now, in order to protect the concubine's child and make him safe, you will allow the emperor, right?" โ€

"You're not right, but what has happened to make you so determined? Did someone use a cruel hand on you, so scared that you want to let Xian come to keep your mother and son safe? โ€

The Queen Mother heard the meaning of Hu Shanxiang's words, and forced her eyes to look at Hu Shanxiang, "Say, tell the mourning family clearly, what happened, you have to keep saying, 'Change the imperial concubine to the queen', have you ever thought that if the mourning family really allows the emperor, the child in your womb will not have a chance to sit on the throne of the prince!" โ€

Hu Shanxiang staggered, his body shook a few times, his face turned pale, and he didn't repeat what he said before, and after a while, he said: "Queen Mother, the concubine is unwilling, but the concubine is afraid, if you don't follow the emperor's thoughts, the life of the concubine's mother and son will not be saved!" โ€

The Queen Mother was a little impatient, "What the hell is going on, you give the mourning family one by one, so that the mourning family can be the master for you, you don't know, the mourning family is exhausted, just to let the elder inherit the unification, no matter what the emperor thinks, in the mourning family, you are the queen, the wife personally selected by the emperor for the emperor, the mourning family does not allow others to ride on your head, you also have to understand the heart of the mourning family, we are the two of us are of the same heart!" โ€

Hu Shanxiang wanted to speak and stopped, lifted the sleeves on his arms, and stretched out to the Queen Mother.

"Queen Mother, the eldest princess also had such peach blossom ringworm on her body, and the imperial doctors prescribed medicine, and she just ate it better, but it recurred the next day. The concubine had no choice, so she had to invite a mage to see if our mother and daughter had fallen for the evil ......"

Her outstretched arms were dotted with pale red spots and tiny scales attached to the surface, which looked very scary.
