Yan Ji pursed her lips tightly and held silent.

But Leng Xiang couldn't help it, so she preemptively protected Yan Ji and said to Zhong Yuxiu, "Zhaoyuan Niangniang, let's let the slave come." ”

Yuxiu's eyes were extremely cold, as if she hadn't heard this, she stared straight at Song Yanji, and her tone was resolute and unquestionable, "This palace called you to go." ”

Yan Ji suppressed the humiliation and resentment in her heart, she raised her face, the corners of her lips crossed a deferential and decent arc, and turned around and said, "Yan Ji helped Zhaoyuan Niangniang to bring it." ”

When she brought the tea to Yu Xiu this time, Yu Xiu took it steadily, she opened the lid of the tea, and suddenly poured a cup of hot tea on Song Yanji's hand.

"Zhao Yuan!" The queen couldn't look at it anymore and stopped it.

Zhong Yuxiu smiled happily, and looked at Yan Ji with burning eyes, "This cup of tea should be taught to you by this palace, and this is the end of the eyes." ”

After that, she didn't look at Yan Ji's face anymore, and walked out of Fengluan Palace quickly with Lan Xiang.

The queen stood at the moment, looking at Song Yanji's hands burning a few terrifying blood blisters, and she was also shocked, but she didn't want to meddle in this matter at all, so she only said indifferently, "Jieyu will go back to the palace first, and someone from the palace will send some medicine to the Tongxin Hall later." ”

Yan Ji endured the pain in her hand, and said with a low bow, "Queen Xie." ”

At this point, the queen turned around coldly and went to the inner hall.

Soon after Yan Ji returned to the Tongxin Palace, the emperor also came.

When he came, Leng Xiang was holding a small plate of cyan ointment on Yan Ji's hand, Chu Luo saw it, glanced at Leng Xiang, motioned her to go down, took the ointment in Leng Xiang's hand, dipped his finger in the paste, and landed on the back of Yan Ji's hand very lightly. The ointment was extremely cold, and the moment it touched the back of Yan Ji's hand, she couldn't help but shudder.

Chu Luo looked at her, sighed softly and said, "The people in your palace have all told me about the matter, and you have been wronged." ”

Yan Ji suddenly chuckled, her eyes were clear and clear, and she said slowly, "Everyone in your harem has a human-faced beast heart, I really regret it, I would rather not enter this palace in the first place." ”

When Chu Luo heard this, his movements froze, and there was a faint anger on his face, "When you say this, you are angry with me, Chang'an is like this, is it even like you?" ”

Yan Ji heard Chu Luo mention Chang'an, and sneered even more, "You are always comparing me with Shen Guifei, she has a strong temperament and always refuses to bow to you, so you seek a little comfort from me, right?" You ran out like this on the wedding night, I don't have to think about it to know where you went, you did such a thing, if it was her, I would never forgive you. Speaking of this, she paused, a sad tear suddenly flashed in the corner of her eye, and said in a deep voice, "Only I am willing, only I am willing to give up my free life to enter the palace with you, and I am willing to forgive you when you leave me to find her again and again." ”

Chu Luo's heart twitched heavily, Yan Ji was right, if it was Chang'an, he would have given up on him thousands of times, but only Yan Ji would always be by his side, from beginning to end, the only way.

His hand landed softly on Yan Ji's hairline, and he instantly settled down. He turned around and raised his voice, "Cheng Dehai!" ”

Cheng Dehai stood at the door, heard the emperor call him, and immediately trotted in and said, "The slave is here." ”

"Spread my will, from now on, Song Jieyu will be promoted to Zhaoyi, as for Zhong Zhaoyuan, she will be demoted to Xiuyi, grounded for one month, and wait for her to fall."

Cheng Dehai's heart sank, his kneeling knees were trembling, he couldn't help but plead for Zhong Yuxiu, "Your Majesty, Zhaoyuan Niangniang is also the mother of the emperor, not to mention that today's incident is just an unintentional mistake, it will never be like this......"

The emperor glanced at him disdainfully, obviously not taking Cheng Dehai's words seriously, and instead said in a deep tone, "I am only downgraded by one grade for the sake of her father's face, with her personality, this matter must not be an unintentional mistake, and those who deliberately disrupt the order of the palace should be severely punished, demoted to a royal maid, and punished to the cold palace." ”

When Cheng Dehai heard the word "cold palace", he was so frightened that he trembled, where did he dare to persuade again, and he was busy and timidly going down to pass the decree.

Chu Luo turned around, looked at Yan Ji and said, "I have crowned you as Zhaoyi, second only to the fourth concubine, and no one can bully you anymore." ”

Yan Ji smiled coldly, undeniable.

When Cheng Dehai passed on the emperor's will, the six palaces were in chaos.

Song Yanji became Zhaoyi in one leap, second only to the queen and the concubine, and Zhong Zhaoyuan, who has always been in the limelight, was demoted to a position and confined to the Yilan Palace, which caused great criticism. Since ancient times, Xuanzong has favored Yang Guifei, and now the emperor of Chu has favored Zhaoyi, which is comparable.

Shen Changan, who had lived in the palace for a long time, heard the news, and was surprisingly calm, as if he had expected it early, and said nothing.

But the cold smoke beside her couldn't hold her breath, and she raised her eyebrows and said sharply, "That Song Yanji doesn't know what ability to provoke the emperor to favor her like this, but she was splashed with hot tea, and she became Zhaoyi, which is really unreasonable." ”

Chang'an listened, and Wen Ran said, "Are you saying this to the emperor?" ”

Han Yan pursed his lips, and there was still a look of unwillingness in his expression, "The emperor was stunned to make such a decision." If you want a slave to see, the emperor must be angry with his master, and he wants to borrow others to anger his master. ”

When Chang'an heard this, a very faint smile suddenly appeared on his lips, although it was a smile, it was as cold as ice ballast on broken ice, which made people chill, "What's the matter, isn't it?" Even if she is promoted, she is just Zhaoyi, if she becomes the queen one day and crosses the palace, it is the time when the palace should be most worried. ”

"Oh, my master, you can't talk nonsense." Hanyan panicked, hurriedly wanted to cover Chang'an's mouth, and said earnestly, "Song Zhaoyi is a little family, where is she worthy of being a queen?" Now that the queen is the mother of the world, this is unspeakable. ”

Chang An looked at her coldly, and his face was full of disdain, "Hanyan, this palace remembers that you were also a person who dared to say and do in the past, how did you become cautious after entering the palace all these years?" ”

When Han Yan heard this, the shock in his eyes deepened, and he sighed unconsciously and said, "Since I entered Shang Fangsi, the slaves and maids have also learned to be obedient, and there are many people in the palace, and they are cautious in their words and deeds, in order to protect the master, but also to protect the slaves and maids themselves." ”

Chang'an was silent, but there was worry in his eyes.

On the first day of Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone followed the empress and went to Yongfu Palace to ask the empress dowager for peace, and Yan Ji was among them.

Entering the Yongfu Palace, the Sixth Palace knelt and bowed to the Queen Mother according to its position, and it was Yan Ji's turn, and she also bowed to the Queen Mother according to the rules of the palace.

At this time, I don't know who was quick to talk, and whispered in the crowd, "She will pretend to be in front of the Queen Mother at this time, and she didn't salute when she saw the Queen Mother some time ago." Although the voice was small, it still entered the ears of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother handed a look to the little eunuch beside her, and the little eunuch immediately understood, turned to hear the sound, and pulled the concubine out of the crowd.

The person who spoke was Fang Meiren, who entered the palace for the first time. She was so frightened that her face was pale, and she kowtowed to the Queen Mother again and again, and the Queen Mother gently turned the jade finger on her finger and said quietly, "The mourning family can't hear that someone in this palace chews the root of the tongue, and in front of the mourning family, I really don't understand the rules." With that, she called softly, "Huizhi." ”

Hui Zhi immediately stepped forward, "The Queen Mother ordered." ”

"Send her to the cold palace, out of sight."

When Fang Meiren heard this, her face turned white with horror, and she hurriedly said, "The Queen Mother spares her life, the Queen Mother spares her life, the concubine will never dare anymore, she will never dare again......"

The crowd sat in silence as if no one heard her shouts, and several guards came in and grabbed her by the sleeves and dragged her off the ground.

Chang'an sat down, frightened, and lowered his head lower.

After the concubine's voice disappeared into the Yongfu Palace, the Queen Mother glanced at Song Yanji who was kneeling on the ground, and slowly opened her lips and said, "Song Zhaoyi, you should also get up." ”

Song Yanji didn't seem to be relieved as if she was still immersed in Fang Cai's shock, she raised her head, looked at the Queen Mother fixedly, and said, "Please also ask the Queen Mother to be kind and forgive Fang Mei." ”

The Queen Mother picked up the teacup and sneered, "You are a kind-hearted person." They don't dare to speak, only you dare to speak to the mourners. You didn't understand the rules when you first entered the palace, and the mourning family forgave you this time. However, the mourning family wants to tell you that if everyone in this palace doesn't pay attention to what they say, they will all lose their heads, so you have to remember it. ”

After that, the Queen Mother didn't look at Song Yanji's face, she glanced around, Fang frowned and said, "Why didn't you see Zhaoyuan coming?" ”

Since Zhong Yuxiu was demoted, where is Zhaoyuan in this palace. Everyone looked at each other, and they all knew that the Queen Mother was talking about Zhong Yuxiu, but no one dared to speak. In the end, it was the queen who took charge of the overall situation, and owed a debt to herself, "Back to the queen mother, the Zhong family has been demoted to Xiuyi and is grounded in the palace." ”

The Queen Mother's long eyebrows raised slightly, and she said, "What mistake did Zhaoyuan make to make the emperor angry?" ”

The queen mother kept claiming that Zhong Yuxiu was "Zhaoyuan", and everyone around didn't dare to answer, but the queen continued, "It's Xiuyi and Zhaoyi who have a dispute, so ......"

Before the queen could finish speaking, the queen mother had already waved her hand, and the queen immediately stopped and stopped talking.

The Queen Mother's eyes fell on Yan Ji's body, and she said with a smile like an ice tip, "In the end, it's because of you, this girl." The people in this Yongfu Palace always report good news but not bad news, and the mourning family only knows that you have been promoted, but they don't know that Zhaoyuan was punished by the emperor because of you. ”

As soon as these words came out, the four concubines were even more frightened and didn't even dare to breathe, Yan Ji knelt on the ground, with a cold face, and stubbornly bowed her head and didn't say a word.

"You are all gone, the mourning family is not in the mood today." After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she raised her hand to Hui Zhi, and Hui Zhi willingly stepped forward to hold the Queen Mother and said to everyone, "Please go back to the palace to rest first." ”

The Queen Mother stood up, the corner of her eyes fell slightly on the queen, and the queen's face sank, and she bowed her head deeply.
