The inner hall of Yongfu Palace has a deep aroma, quiet and serene.

The queen retreated from everyone, entered respectfully, and Ying Yingfu went down, "Auntie." ”

The Queen Mother sat on the bright yellow golden phoenix and looked at her sideways, "Shushen, in the end, it has been in vain to enter the palace all these years, the mourning family will give you a look, and you also know that you have come to find the mourning family." ”

The queen bowed her head deeply, respectfully and humbly, "My aunt has just moved her anger in the palace, and it is also appropriate for Shushen to come to see my aunt." ”

Before the words fell, a cup fell heavily on the queen's side, and the fragments flew up in response, almost falling on the queen's body.

The queen was shocked and quickly knelt down.

"Shushen, you're really confused!" The queen mother above the main hall suddenly changed color, and said sharply, "The emperor was confused for a while, is it possible that even you, the queen, are so black and white?!" ”

The queen thundered in her heart, and the queen mother's words shook her eardrums suddenly. Suddenly, her chin was lifted suddenly, forcing her to look into the cold face of the Queen Mother, and the majestic and irresistible voice poured into her ears, "You are the queen, you are not allowed to bow your head like this at any time." ”

The queen's heart was shocked, but she didn't dare to hang her head anymore, "Shushen remembers her aunt's teachings." ”

The Queen Mother's gaze seemed to sweep over her face unintentionally, and she also brought a little meaningful sneer, and said slowly, "Shushen, don't think that your aunt doesn't know what you're thinking, Luo'er doesn't like Shen Changan anymore, and you feel that your goal has been achieved." ”

The Queen Mother's sentence hit the queen's mind, and her hidden secret hidden in the depths of her heart was so straightforwardly revealed, that her face was so shocked that her face was hot for a while. She bowed her head deeply and knelt at the feet of the Queen Mother, just kowtowing, but there was nothing to justify.

The Queen Mother's eyes were full of deep sadness, she was helpless to the extreme, so she had to sigh deeply, "Shushen, you are good anywhere, the only mistake is that you are too affectionate." ”

The queen's heart trembled, and she couldn't deny it.

She loves Chu Luo, so much so that she doesn't even want the position of this queen, what else can't she let go? At first, when she and Chu Luo first got married, he still had a trace of warmth, it was Shen Changan who took away everything from her, and even deprived her of the little hope to support her life.

She hates Shen Changan, how can she not hate? Now that someone has paid back this report for her, even if that person is Chu Luo's sweetheart, she is happy.

"Get up." The Queen Mother let out a deep voice, interrupting the queen's thoughts, and she said with a calm face, "Go back and see Yun Ke, after all, you still have children to rely on." ”

The queen got up slowly, and a hint of gloom oozed from her gentle tone, "The concubine has retired." ”

After the queen left, the queen mother took a sip of tea and called inward, "Huizhi." ”

Hui Zhi had been waiting in the inner room for a long time, and after listening to the summons of the Queen Mother, she hurriedly walked out, and when she saw the Queen Mother drinking tea by herself, she sighed unconsciously, "This tea is cold, and the slave maid will go and help the Queen Mother change it." ”

The Queen Mother seemed to be deaf to Hui Zhi's words, only staring at the few tea leaves floating in the tea cup, and said slowly, "Empress...... It's really not competitive. ”

Hui Zhi suddenly froze, and immediately said, "The queen mother is still the queen mother's niece after all, and you will naturally understand it with a lot of experience." ”

The Queen Mother snorted softly, and then ordered, "Go and call Shen Guifei." ”

Hui Zhi was stunned, thinking that she had misheard, and hurriedly asked, "Who did the Queen Mother say she was calling?" ”

"Call Shen Guifei."

The three words "Shen Guifei" came to Hui Zhi's ears clearly, although she was puzzled, she didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly left.

At this moment, Chang'an was not far from the gate of Yongfu Palace, and was walking on the palace road with Wanxiang, when she suddenly heard someone behind her calling her, "Guifei Niangniang." ”

When she looked back, she saw Huizhi.

"Aunt Huizhi?" There was a doubt between Chang'an's eyebrows, and before she could react, Hui Zhi was already standing beside her, and said with her head bowed, "Concubine Niangniang, the Queen Mother is invited." ”

When Shen Changan stepped into the inner hall of Yongfu Palace, she couldn't figure out why the Queen Mother would come to her. Thinking like this, she had already walked in front of the Queen Mother, and she respectfully blessed her body and said, "The concubine has seen the Queen Mother." ”

The queen mother above the hall was silent, but she didn't hear Chang'an's words. Chang'an was still afraid of the Queen Mother in her heart, and she didn't dare to get up rashly at this time, and when she just wanted to look up, she heard the Queen Mother's voice sound coldly, which frightened her and lowered her head deeper.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother sneered, "Looking at the appearance of the concubine, it seems that she is very afraid of mourning the family." ”

Chang'an's heart trembled for a while, and she tried her best to calm down and replied, "The concubine respects the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother's eyes fell on Chang'an, and she also showed a little smile in the silence, "You are all a concubine, what are you afraid of the mourning family?" ”

Chang'an's heart suddenly froze.

Guifei, isn't she afraid if she's a concubine? From the emperor and queen to the servants of the inner servants, there is no one who is not afraid of the queen mother.

Thinking like this, Chang'an didn't dare to speak out, she had seen the power of the Queen Mother, the emperor was merciful, and only the Queen Mother had the power to ask for the lives of others with a word.

"The mourning family will never help you, only you will treat yourself as such." The queen was cold and spoke suddenly.

Chang'an suddenly raised his head, suppressed the panic in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "The concubine doesn't understand the deep meaning of the Queen Mother's words, and I hope that the Queen Mother will give you some advice." ”

Chang'an's respectful appearance seemed to make the Queen Mother very satisfied, she helped the golden jade phoenix hairpin on her sideburns, and said with a smile, "The emperor is not going to your palace now, can the concubine just watch the emperor go to someone else's place?" ”

This question made Chang'an break down in a cold sweat, but he didn't dare not answer, so he had to say, "The emperor favors Song Zhaoyi, which is Zhaoyi's blessing, and the concubines have no right to ask." ”

The Queen Mother sneered when she heard this, "Concubine, concubine, the mourning family remembers that when you first entered the palace, it was not like this. Her gaze coldly swept over Chang'an's light blue robe, and she said idly, "The mourning family remembers that when you first came to Yongfu Palace, you were dressed in plum blossoms, and in the days to come, you always wore pink, why are you so plain these days?" ”

Chang'an could hear that the deep meaning of the Queen Mother's words was not just her clothes, but it was irrefutable, but she said gently, "People's preferences always change, and the same is true for concubines." ”

"Preferences can change, but people can't." The corners of the Queen Mother's mouth drooped slightly, and her eyes probed on her meaningfully, "There is a place called Leng Que Palace in the palace, do you know?" ”

Chang'an was stunned, she had never heard of this place, so she replied truthfully, "The concubine doesn't know." ”

"If you have an empty concubine, you can go and have a look." After finishing speaking, the Queen Mother raised her hand and called Hui Zhi and said, "The mourning family is a little tired, so the concubine should step back first." ”

Chang'an knelt at the moment, only felt a chill on his body, and after hearing the words of the Queen Mother, he hurriedly stood up and retreated respectfully.

Seeing Chang'an's figure leaving, Hui Zhi changed into a hot tea, put it in the Queen Mother's hand, and asked suspiciously, "Good service, why did the Queen Mother point out Shen Guifei?" ”

The Queen Mother picked up the tea cup, gently scraped the foam on the tea from the tea lid, and suddenly asked another irrelevant question, "Huizhi, how many years have you been with the mourning family?" ”

Hui Zhi replied respectfully, "It's been a full thirty-seven years. ”

The Queen Mother lowered her eyes shallowly, and a lonely smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, "You are also a person who has lived in the Great Chu Palace for most of your life, look at the current palace, who can afford the position of this queen?" ”

When Hui Zhi heard this, her eyebrows furrowed heavily, "What does the Queen Mother mean......"

"Shushen is a good child, but she is too obsessed, in the palace, if she is trapped in this word 'love', this life will be over."

Hui Zhi listened silently, only bowing her head and not saying a word.

The Queen Mother said again, "The mourning family is old, and they are not confused, the matter of the concubine's miscarriage was obviously not done by the Miaochun girl, but the queen cheapened others and gave her own people out in vain." ”

Hui Zhi's eyebrows darkened, "Then why did the Queen Mother fall in love with Shen Guifei?" The slave and maid looked at the little master Zhong and ......"

"Although her family background is good, she is not favored by the emperor." The Queen Mother suddenly interrupted, "If you look at this time, it will be clear, it is just a small dispute, but the emperor has demoted her status, it seems that in the emperor's heart, she is nothing more than that." Speaking of this, the Queen Mother sighed silently, "This harem is said to be big and big, small and small, but the left is the emperor's mind alone, and the fate of these women in the harem is in the hands of the emperor." ”

Hui Zhi bowed his head heavily, and added a little hot water to the Queen Mother's teacup, Fang Wen said, "The Queen Mother doesn't need to worry, let's drink some hot tea to warm up." ”

The Queen Mother nodded, but her hands holding the teacup were trembling slightly, Huizhi saw this and couldn't help but sigh, it turned out that no matter how beautiful a woman was, there would be a day when Fanghua would grow old.

Hui Zhi couldn't help but think of the year when she first came to the Queen Mother, when the Queen Mother was only sixteen years old and was the first emperor's Xuanmei.

The rule of the Chu Palace is that no other titles are allowed under the four concubines, but Emperor Jingyu favored her, and three thousand beauties gave her a title.

Later, she accompanied her master, watching her rise from beauty to Zhaorong, and then to the concubine, and finally the Jingyu Emperor Bintianhou, she was with the queen of the dynasty, and called the queen mother of the east and west palaces.

Huizhi doesn't know that this harem has always been the most inhumane place, and those in high positions will definitely kill each other.

This is born from the same root, so why not be in a hurry to fry each other. The Queen Mother is glorious, but the other person will not end so well.

Thinking like this, she suddenly heard the Queen Mother ask, "The one from the Leng Que Palace, is it okay?" ”

Hui Zhi was stunned suddenly, her heart was pounding and almost jumped out of her heart, she gradually lowered her head, and said gently, "The Queen Mother is kind and saved the Li family's life, and now there is still a breath." ”

The Queen Mother raised her eyes, her eyes were as bright as a sword, and her sharpness was almost bloody, and she said in a low voice, "Order people to serve well, the mourning family will not allow her to die, she will live in this world for the mourning family." ”

Hui Zhi's face was slightly pale, and she replied respectfully, "Yes, Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother sneered slightly, and a terrifying cold light suddenly burst out in her eyes, "At least until Shen Guifei sees her, she has to live well." ”
