Entering the palace for a month, the morning and dusk of this day is to go to the queen mother's Yongfu Palace to ask for peace, Chang'an rarely saw the queen mother after entering the palace, one is because the queen mother is the queen's aunt, it is inevitable that Chang'an will be jealous, and the other is because of Chang'an's temperament, it is really impossible to compromise to please others, but also give up. But this day is different, the Fu Gonggong next to the Queen Mother specially announced the decree of each palace and invited the three concubines to go to the Yongfu Palace, and Chang'an faintly guessed that it was probably for the draft.

When she was ugly, Chang'an had already gotten up to make up, and she heard from Chu Luo that the Queen Mother Suxi plum blossoms were happy, so she deliberately wore a light-colored smoke yarn Bixia Luo, embroidered with silk threads at the hem of the placket and red plums, and the low-hanging sideburns were obliquely inlaid with pearls and jasper. After finishing dressing, seeing that Chu Luo was still asleep in the dormitory, he quietly reminded the palace maids not to startle the emperor, and still brought cold smoke to Yongfu Palace.

The Queen Mother's palace is very quiet, but it is also a gold carving and jade ornament, the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate hangs a black gold silk nanmu plaque, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances on the ground with three big characters "Yongfu Palace", the red wall and yellow tile outside the palace, the gold is brilliant. Chang'an has long heard that when the first emperor was there, the queen mother, who was still a concubine at that time, had already favored the harem and was extremely extravagant, and now she has become the queen mother, but she is still like this.

Gonggong Fu, who was standing outside the door, saw Chang'an from afar, so he respectfully greeted her, "Concubine Xian came so early. ”

Chang'an bowed slightly, and the two palace maids outside the hall opened the curtain and entered the hall.

But after a while, Aunt Huizhi, who was next to the Queen Mother, greeted her with a smile.

Chang'an had seen Hui Zhi when he entered the palace, so he politely called her "aunt", Hui Zhi smiled, motioned to the palace maid next to him to bring a chair, and said to Chang'an, "The queen mother and Zhao Meiren have not arrived yet, so let's sit here for a while." ”

As soon as Chang'an was about to sit down, Empress Li Shushen and beauty Zhao Nanyan entered the hall one after the other.

Aunt Huizhi went in for a while, and when she came out to see the queen, she was also full of smiles, "The queen mother is inside." ”

The three of them slowly walked into the hall, and saw that the Queen Mother was sitting on the top of the main hall, wearing a blue satin sleeve dress, embroidered with golden silk willow leaves and blue purple flowers, the color was calm and elegant, the autumn fragrance cloud satin long skirt was silently dragged to the ground, the two belts of the skirt tourmaline brocade tassel drooping lines were smooth and straight, the overlapping towering Wangxian bun was inserted with bright and brilliant pearls and gold threads, and the hairpins on both sides hung down step by step, and there was no trace of extra folds and waves between the actions, which made her posture more and more lofty and calm.

Starting from the queen, the three of them saluted the queen mother in turn according to their positions.

When it was Chang'an's turn, the Queen Mother didn't tell her to get up, her eyes only stared at the big red plum blossom between the cuffs of her shirt, and her eyes were cold.

"Concubine Xian's clothes are really good-looking."

Chang'an trembled when he heard this, and he didn't dare to look up at the Queen Mother, so he only said in a low voice, "The Queen Mother praised it falsely." ”

The Queen Mother fiddled with the armor on her hands, and there was a sharp coldness hidden in her luxurious face, "I heard that the mourning family heard that Concubine Xian is very fond of peach blossoms, and for this, the emperor also transplanted the peach forest in the Lin'an Palace, planted it in your palace, why did you wear plum blossoms today?" ”

Chang'an was already in a cold sweat at this time, and she still lowered her head, not daring to answer.

"Concubine Xian, the mourning family asked you."

Chang'an's face was already pale, and there was a burst of pain between her knees, cold sweat had already run down her sideburns, and she bit her purple lower lip tightly, hoping that someone could come forward to save her at this time.

"Auntie." Li Shushen's clear voice sounded in front of Chang'an, she calmed down, looked up at the queen, saw her upright, and said to the queen mother, "The concubine guesses, the concubine must know that her aunt loves plum blossoms, so she specially wore it today, and Aunt Bo smiled." ”

"Oh?" The Queen Mother helped the jewels and jade on her temples and shook them, and a sneer appeared on her face, "It's rare for Concubine Xian to have such a heart." Concubine Xian is extremely pretty, and she looks good in any color. But the mourning family is already old, and they have to wear a light and elegant color like red plum, which is called the virtuous concubine, and the mourning family doesn't know what tricks to wear. ”

When Chang'an heard this, her whole body couldn't stop trembling, she kowtowed to the Queen Mother in a low voice, and said, "This matter is the fault of the concubine, after returning to the palace, the concubine will change her clothes and personally send it to the Yongfu Palace for the Queen Mother to dispose of." ”

The Queen Mother sneered again and again, "It's just a piece of clothing, and Concubine Xian doesn't have to be like this." I've been kneeling for a long time, and I'm afraid my body can't stand it, so get up. ”

got the order of the Queen Mother, Hanyan hurriedly went over and helped Chang'an to get up, Chang'an was still shocked, and after getting up, he didn't forget to bow to the Queen Mother and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”

The queen mother didn't look at her either, her brows relaxed, and when she looked at the queen, she was already smiling, "The mourning family heard that the queen has been unwell recently, is she feeling better today?" ”

The queen smiled and said, "Aunt Lao is worried, the concubine is already much better." ”

Chang'an saw the scene in his eyes, but he was silent.

The Queen Mother smiled slightly, "The queen has to take care of her body, and when she turns around, she asks Huizhi to send you some fetal medicine in the palace." The mourning family is waiting for the queen to give birth to an eldest grandson. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something again, and said to the queen, "Does the emperor often go to your palace?" ”

The queen's face was slightly embarrassed, she thought for a moment, and said, "The emperor is busy with state affairs, and he is probably not free." ”

The Queen Mother already understood, and turned to look at Chang'an, her displeased look was like a dark cloud covering the bright moon, "Concubine Xian, the emperor often goes to Chonghua Palace, right?" ”

Chang'an was a rin again, and secretly gritted his teeth and replied, "Yes." ”

She lowered her head, still clearly hearing a cold snort from the Queen Mother's lips and jade teeth, "Concubine Xian, this is yours." The mourning family knows that when you are in the palace, the emperor is very fond of you. But when this arrives in the harem, it is the top priority to be able to spread the branches for the royal family, and Concubine Xian has not moved, and she also wants to persuade the emperor to get wet with rain and dew. ”

Chang'an had already bitten his lower lip, felt the bloody breath between his lips and teeth, and replied with a sigh, "The concubine knows." ”

The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction, "Although Concubine Xian is not from a prince or noble, but when she enters the palace, she is a person with status, and it is also excellent to know that mistakes can be improved." ”

Although he said this to Chang'an, Zhao Nanyan at the bottom heard it, and his face was faintly ugly.

The Queen Mother noticed this, and turned to the south to flue, "Zhao Meiren, how old is Zihan this year?" ”

Nan Yan restrained his expression and replied respectfully, "Hui Queen Mother, she is already two years old." ”

The Queen Mother bowed slightly, sighed lightly, and said, "The mourning family is old, and it is time to enjoy the joy of family." The emperor now has only one emperor under his knees, and there are only three of you in the harem, so it will not work after all. ”

When the three of them heard this, they all bowed their heads and were silent.

"Concubine Xian, Zhao Meiren, you go back first. The mourners wanted to talk to the queen about the election alone. ”

Chang'an understood, got up and saluted the Queen Mother, and then walked out of the palace gate as if fleeing.
