Qingya understands the queen's temperament, she doesn't want to get involved in the right and wrong of the court, the queen has no ** for power, but she must protect her status so that she can protect her family, and Wang Jieyu and the eldest prince's affairs should not be her interference.

"If the slave and maid know, they will also instruct the palace people to treat Wang Jieyu politely." Qing Ya answered.

"Did I send my letter?" Min'er asked.

"Zhou Huai has arranged it, and the old lady's letter should come in a few days."

Min'er was overjoyed and instructed Qingya: "Take some silver and give it to Father-in-law Zhou, and let him give it to a few messengers for me, not to mention that I sent it, let Father-in-law Zhou look at it." Just Min'er sighed, "Speaking of which, these gold and silver were sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I was not happy to deal with them, but I made them send gold and silver." ”

Qingya smiled: "That's not necessarily, the mother has a fortune, and the emperor has enough for you." ”

Min'er glanced at her, a faint smile on her lips, but she didn't know what to say. But what I thought in my heart was that it didn't seem bad to be a queen, at least she still had a good fortune, but this thought was good in my heart.

And said that Min'er's letter was sent to Yuanzhou by a fast horse, since her granddaughter began to correspond with herself, looking forward to the messenger from the capital, it has become the daily expectation of Mrs. Qiu, and today I heard the sound of horses' hooves, and it didn't take long to see Bai smiling and sending a letter, saying: "Mother, Min'er's letter to you." ”

Mrs. Qiu is the same age as the Queen Mother, with an elegant expression and noble temperament, her granddaughter is regarded as a fairy in the palace, and she herself is also famous in Yuanzhou, and she is the most respected figure. Some things that people can't handle, and even the village chief and governor are in trouble, they will come to ask the old lady to call the shots, and the people here are trustworthy and obedient to whatever she says.

Now that Min'er is the queen, the lintel of the Qiu family's old mansion is becoming more and more unattainable, but the old lady is still as kind as before.

At this time, the old lady opened Min'er's letter and said to the Bai family: "Why don't you go to the private school in the village to study for a few days, and you can also exchange letters with Min'er." ”

Bai Shi smiled: "I can't do it, I'm at this age." ”

Old Madam Qiu was just a joke, and soon put her mind on her granddaughter's letter, but as her granddaughter's familiar handwriting came into view, her original smile gradually dispersed, and she was replaced by a serious expression.

Bai Shi saw it in his eyes and asked nervously: "Mother, has Min'er been bullied by the emperor again?" ”

The old lady shook her head: "Min'er said that the emperor is getting better and better to her, saying that he fell in love with her on the night of the wedding." ”

Bai Shi was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "If this is the case, it is a great thing." ”

The old lady looked at her and asked, "Is it really good?" Your daughter is there, but she has no one to rely on. ”

Bai's eyes quickly darkened, and he said timidly, "You have seen the emperor." ”

The old lady folded the letter, recalling that the emperor suddenly came to Yuanzhou that day, they didn't say anything, the emperor just looked at all the places where Min'er lived, and then asked himself to write a letter to Min'er.

He respects himself very much, but he also has the imperial grandeur that cannot be looked at directly, the old lady does not have the ability to reach the sky, how can he judge the emperor's personality lightly by a few words. But she knew very well that in the deep palace with many concubines, it would not be peaceful, and her granddaughter was young and fledgling.

The messenger rested for an hour, and the reply from the old lady Qiu came, and Bai took a lot of gold and silver cakes and stuffed them to the messenger, and they worked hard to travel between the capital and Yuanzhou.

However, these messengers are not ordinary people, they will not see the money and do not want a reward, but they will accept the kindness of the ladies, but the matter of sending a letter is not as simple as riding a horse and galloping. After all, there will be people who will try to intercept the correspondence of the emperor's family, and every messenger who seems to be nothing great is a master of extraordinary skills.

Two days later, Mrs. Qiu's letter was delivered to Shangyang Hall intact, and the grandfather and grandson were exactly the same in anticipation of the grandmother's letter, even the smile on their faces when they opened the letter was very similar, and it was Min'er's favorite thing to be able to communicate with her grandmother at the moment. But the smile on her face, like that of her grandmother when she saw her letter, was quickly replaced by a serious look.

Qingya was originally going to bring refreshments, she knew that the queen could read the letter repeatedly and lovely, but the person who read the letter today was not so happy, and after reading it again in a hurry, she carefully put it away.

"Niangniang, do you want to prepare pen and ink for you?" Qingya asked.

"I haven't figured out how to reply to the letter yet, but I'll call you when I do." Min'er responded and put her grandmother's letter into a locked box, but when she thought about it, she felt that it was inappropriate, so she went to the incense burner and burned the letter that her grandmother gave her.

Qingya didn't dare to guess, but it was certain that in the queen's opinion, this was something that would cause trouble if she kept it, so she couldn't ask even more.

The palace people in front of the door broke in coldly, and the words of Qingming Pavilion came that the emperor was coming to Shangyang Hall for dinner.

Qingya was about to deal with it, but she heard Min'er call her: "Go back to the emperor, I'm not feeling well, I want to go to bed early today, please come back another day." Naturally, if the emperor insists on coming, then come. ”

Okay, the person who opened a crack in his heart, Huo Ran closed the door again, looked at the queen's worried back and walked towards the water pavilion, Qingya sighed helplessly: "What's wrong?" ”

In the Qingming Pavilion, Xiang Ye heard that Min'er was unwell, and at first thought it was true, but fortunately, Zhou Huai was shrewd and reminded: "Forgive the slave for talking too much, Niangniang just doesn't seem to want to see the emperor, and the slave confirmed to Qingya that her body is not unwell." ”

"Why don't you want to see me? I was fine yesterday when I played chess with her. "Thinking back to what happened after playing chess yesterday, he didn't go to the palace of the other concubines, not to mention any jealousy, if he was really jealous, Xiang Ye was happy, and then he has been busy with government affairs in Qingming Pavilion today, does she feel that she is too busy to accompany her?

Xiang Ye seemed to be too optimistic, got up and said, "It's good that I go." In his opinion, women are like this, retreating as advancing, but they just want to make themselves anxious and worried.

But he thought of Min'er wrongly, Zhou Huai had to bite the bullet and say: "Your Majesty, Qingya said very clearly, Niangniang just doesn't want to see you, not to make a temperament or to be angry with you, Niangniang wants to be quiet alone." ”

Xiang Ye frowned: "What did I do to her again?" ”

But the emperor endured it, thinking that Min'er must have encountered something on his mind, and was also worried about whether the old lady of Yuanzhou was not in good health, but he summoned the messenger to inquire, and everything was as usual.

So the next day, the emperor had to be entangled in government affairs during the day, and when he heard that the queen was by his mother's side, he hurried over, and sure enough, when he saw it, he realized what Zhou Huai's words meant, and Min'er's indifferent resistance when she faced him at the beginning returned to her again.

When they were playing chess together the day before yesterday, Xiang Ye saw that Min'er let her son pierce her, and she made her face flushed, and the uneasiness that she wanted to hide and couldn't hide was so cute, why did it all disappear overnight?

The emperor deliberately wanted to get close to Min'er, but naturally he was ruthlessly shunned, obviously in the past few days, Min'er could look into his eyes and listen to him, dress him and serve him tea, they got along so well.

"What's wrong with you?" Finding an opportunity, Xiang Ye asked softly, after all, her mother is very happy these days and doesn't want her to add trouble.

Sure enough, the man stopped talking again.

Because the change was too sudden, the emperor couldn't accept it, he didn't even know what he had done wrong, and Min'er didn't look like he was jealous at all, Xiang Ye realized that he was too conceited, and Qiu Min'er was not that kind of woman at all. But this little bit of guilt can't offset the disappointment Min'er brought him, Xiang Ye tried his best and didn't deserve such a response.

The subtle atmosphere between the emperor and the queen, the queen mother is not unaware, even if the two children try their best to cover it up, the old man is from the past, and the two have not had a round house so far, there must still be some hurdles that cannot be crossed.

This night, Xiang Ye did not order the palace people to inform Min'er in advance, deal with the government affairs, and only take a few people to the Shangyang Palace, at this moment the night has come, a round of crescent moon hanging in the sky, walking into the Shangyang Palace, a faint fragrance came, Zhou Huai stepped forward to stop the palace people who were going to go in to report, and the palace people said: "The queen is bathing." ”

Xiang Ye dispersed everyone and walked into the dormitory alone, there was a faint sound of water coming from inside, he didn't plan to break in so abruptly, but unconsciously walked around Min'er's house, and inadvertently saw a half-read book spread out on the table, he picked it up casually, and saw that line at a glance: In the fifth year of Jianguang, the Jizhou army captured Lingjiang City and slaughtered the city for three days.

Xiang Ye's sword eyebrows were raised, and he turned a few more pages casually, and from the fourth year of Jianguang to the fifth year of Jianguang, it was the critical moment when he won several major military powers one after another and approached the capital, the paper was full of gunsmoke, and every word was the blood of slaughter, that is to say, Qiu Min'er was reading this book in the past few days, so she ......

The emperor angrily closed the book, and when he saw Song Yuan's name written on the cover, he remembered that a while ago, the empress had asked Qingya to bring a few books for him to see, saying that it was what had happened in the world in the past twenty years compiled by Song Yuan.

However, what is written in the book is different from what really happened, Song Yuan, a civil official in Beijing, did not see the situation on the battlefield with his own eyes, the emperor sank his heart, he could go and explain to Min'er, this is not a big deal, he is not a murderous devil, Min'er should not look at him like this.

But when he walked into the inner hall, the sound of water was soft, and he heard Min'er say, "So cruel? ”

And Qingya went on to say: "Emperor Jianguang was killed on the throne of the Xuanzheng Palace, the blood flowed down the steps, the slave maid and Zhou Huai wiped it for three days and failed to wipe it clean, and then had to pry open the floor tiles and re-lay them, and under the pry open floor tiles, blood was also left from the cracks. Emperor Jianguang was only seven years old, the same age as His Royal Highness. ”

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, the screen was pushed open, Min'er in the bath was startled, and Qingya shouted in a panic: "Your Majesty? ”
