Qiu Yulan had never seen Yan Wang Chu Weize, and even if he did, now was not the time to greet him, so after stepping forward to salute, he turned his head and followed Ni Jin into the hall.

"Courtiers Qiu Yulan, I wish the queen a thousand blessings and peace!" She was led to the Beique Hall and saluted according to the rules, and Empress Jiang shouted happily: "Sit down, you are the lord of the first grade, don't be too restrained." ”

"Xie Niangniang!" Qiu Yulan speculated that since the queen didn't talk back to the queen mother without being tactful-she should like a generous and straightforward personality? So without hesitation, he sat down on the next embroidery stool.

Quietly glanced at Danqi, Queen Jiang has now changed into her regular clothes, with a peach ground and a ruyi rui cloud pattern deep coat, tied with a jade belt, and a back bun, looking delicate and cute.

However, the queen's momentum was still the same, leaning on the phoenix seat, and asked lazily: "What did you do in Dizi Mountain last winter?" ”

Qiu Yulan thought about it for a long time, but she didn't expect Empress Jiang to ask like this, and she was stunned for a moment before she said: "The cousin of the courtier's daughter was studying in the courtyard of Dizi Mountain, and he accidentally contracted the wind cold. Therefore, the biological mother of the courtier's uncle asked the courtier's daughter to go and see him. ”

"That Kang Jinzhang has his own sister Kang Lizhang, and there are several children under your uncle's knees." Empress Jiang said casually, "If you want to visit him, you don't have no cousins, why are you going?" And," the queen looked down with a smile, "and when you visited him like this, he was gone?" ”

Qiu Yulan's mind was racing - when Empress Jiang said this, she must have noticed the cattiness of the matter of Emperor Mountain, but Empress Jiang's tone did not pay much attention to Kang Jinzhang himself. So, what did the queen say......

Without saying a word, she turned over and knelt down: "Ask the queen for forgiveness!" ”

Empress Jiang smiled, and from the tone of her tone, she was very satisfied with her knowledge: "Let's talk about it!" ”

“…… That's the thing, the courtier really didn't want to hurt her cousin, she just wanted to scare her cousin, so that he wouldn't continue to ...... Keep disturbing the courtiers! On the cheeks of Qiu Yulan, who were as white as gardenia petals, two lines of tears hung down, and Chu Chu said pitifully.

In addition to concealing her crossing, she did not change a word about the experience of Dizi Mountain. It's not that she doesn't want to add oil and vinegar, but Queen Jiang has already made it clear that she has checked it first, saying that it is too exaggerated, and if it arouses the queen's disgust, it will not be worth it.

But the matter was originally justified by her, and she was young, so it was easier to attract sympathy - several palace people from Queen Jiang's left and right turned their backs and quietly wiped the corners of their eyes, which shows that this tearful and vivid accusation is still very successful.

Even Empress Jiang frowned slightly, but what she said was: "Your uncle's biological mother...... What does this mean? Your grandfather's concubine, you should at least call your grandmother a cousin, right? ”

"Back to my mother's words." Qiu Yulan waited for her to ask, and immediately said, "Uncle's biological mother did be my grandfather's concubine, but it was just ......."

"Done?" Empress Jiang reacted immediately, sat up slightly straight, and looked down at her, "Are you saying that she wasn't your grandfather's concubine later?" ”

"Wise mother!" Qiu Yulan said timidly, "According to the uncle's biological mother herself, she broke the rules when she served the courtier's grandmother, so she was driven out of the palace by the courtier's grandmother - later, because the courtier's father died in battle, the brother also died, and the uncle returned to the palace to inherit the title, so he took his biological mother back and respected him as Mrs. Lu......"

Mrs. Lu, thank you for telling me why you were kicked out! Otherwise, how can I be sure that you are breaking the rules?

Empress Jiang took a deep look at her, her face sank, and she shouted angrily: "Ridiculous! Since she is a concubine who was driven out by Concubine Xihe, it has nothing to do with Xihe Palace! The current Xihe Wang Qiu Mengmin not only took her back to the palace - he actually respected her as an old lady! This is clearly not to take his mother-in-law Concubine Xihe in his eyes! This kind of disloyal and unfilial thing is also worthy of inheriting the king?! ”

Qiu Yulan was "shocked" and said: "Niangniang, the uncle of the courtier, this is filial piety!" ”

"If you are filial, you can have no rules?!" Empress Jiang said coldly, "The concubine is respected, and the concubine is humble, this is the rule of the whole world!" Even if the concubine earns his life, then he will give it to his mother-in-law first? According to Qiu Mengmin's approach, you won't have to mess up in the future?! ”

These words Empress Jiang said very loudly and was full of righteous indignation, and she couldn't wait to run to Ganquan Palace and shout to the Empress Dowager Gu - Concubine Xihe is dead, but the queen of the first emperor and the current Empress Dowager Ye are still there! Empress Dowager Gu, the concubine of the first emperor, that is, a concubine, actually squeezed Empress Dowager Ye so much that few people in the palace remembered!

This is not just a mess in the future, it's a mess now!

Qiu Yulan tried his best to bring the topic to the deep pit that he had prepared for the Xihe Palace, of course, he couldn't let go of this opportunity to build a ladder for the queen, and without saying a word, he fell to the ground and pleaded guilty, and said loudly: "The courtier Xie Niangniang's teachings - beg the courtier to remember that the courtier is young and ignorant, and she doesn't know that this matter is unruly, and forgive the courtier's failure to tell her uncle to respect her grandmother in time!" ”

"Someone!" Empress Jiang is worthy of her background, and she simply and neatly ordered, "Prepare Yi's will!" Qiu Mengmin, the king of Xihe, despised his mother-in-law, murdered his niece, was disloyal, unfilial, unjust, unworthy of the king, except for his lordship, and was degraded to a concubine! "After thinking about it, I don't think it's enough," flow with plugs! ”

The female official in front of the queen was very neat, and after the queen finished speaking, a decree of Li Si Lu Liu had been almost written, and after it was written, she would dry the ink and present it to Queen Jiang for her to see.

Empress Jiang changed a few words slightly, making Yi Zhi's tone more stern, and then nodded.

So someone stepped forward and copied it to the official decree.

"Why can't you see the uneasy kindness of this Lu clan and your uncle, and Princess Ruan, who was still alive at the time, can't see it?" Qiu Yulan was secretly happy, but she didn't expect Queen Jiang to turn her head again and ask, "Especially when you are young, you have a beautiful appearance and moon appearance, which is not worse than the eternal blessing of this palace!" Princess Ruan was relieved to let you take a maid of the same age to Dizi Mountain to find Kang Jinzhang? This Kang Jinzhang often goes in and out of the Qinglou, which is not a good thing! Princess Ruan actually trusted him so much? ”

Qiu Lulan's eyes quickly turned red in seconds: "The mother concubine wants the courtiers to take the opportunity to escape." ”

"Escape?" Empress Jiang smiled, "You little girl, where can you escape in the barren mountains and mountains of Dizi Mountain?" Escape from the wolf's belly? ”

The palace people who had their eyes red just now because of Qiu Yulan's story also laughed.

"Because of the marriage of the courtiers." Qiu Yulan's heart was racing, and she choked up, "It was the Lu family who pleaded with the uncle of the courtier, and hid it from the mother concubine." The mother concubine was ...... because of Deng Yi Extremely opposed, but the uncle deliberately embarrassed...... Therefore, I want the loyal servants to take advantage of the efforts of the emperor to take the courtiers away and go to distant relatives! ”

Empress Jiang asked, "Then why do you want to go back to the Xihe Palace?" ”

After the avalanche, the courtiers easily escaped for their lives, but found that the place where Cousin Kang fell was buried by the snow! Worried that the mother concubine would be angry, she really couldn't go alone, so ...... "There is an opportunity to show filial piety, and of course Qiu Yulan can't let it go."

Sure enough, Queen Jiang bowed her head slightly, and her gaze at her also had a hint of softness - the queen has been in charge of the middle palace for many years, fighting against the queen mother, and managing the emperor so much that she has no temper, but so far there is only a princess of Yongfu under her knees.

Yesterday, the Queen Mother asked about Princess Yongfu inviting Kang Lizhang into the palace, and Queen Jiang didn't say a word and put the responsibility on herself, which shows her love and maintenance for her own daughter.

The mother-daughter relationship, of course, is the easiest to impress the queen.

"You kid is a filial person, and it's hard for you all these years." Empress Jiang sighed, "It's just that you are too honest, Qiu Mengmin and the Lu clan are so unruly, why didn't you enter the table earlier to explain, so that the palace can call the shots for you?" ”

Before Qiu Yulan could speak, a middle-aged female official standing behind Empress Jiang answered for her: "Niangniang, do you think Qiu Mengmin is the eldest son of the old Xihe King, who has read books and knows the truth, how can he not know that what he has done over the years is disrespectful to his mother-in-law?" In that case, how can people be given the opportunity to expose them? ”

Empress Jiang felt that it was very reasonable, and she no longer asked Qiu Yulan, and encouraged her to see that the hour was not early, and casually rewarded something, and asked Ni Jin to send her out of the palace.

To be honest, leaving the palace like this made Qiu Yulan feel a little disappointed - she deliberately talked about her dissatisfaction with her marriage with Deng Yi, but Queen Jiang approved Qiu Mengmin again and again, but did not say a word about dissolving the marriage contract for her.

Although it is said that from a general point of view, Qiu Yulan's grandfather and father are gone, and she has no brothers, her marriage should indeed be decided by Qiu Mengmin. Even if Qiu Mengmin's marriage for her is not good, others will talk about Qiu Mengmin's uncle at most, but it is not easy to interfere.

But Queen Jiang is so powerful in front of the Queen Mother, what is it to meddle in the family affairs of a Wang family with a different surname? !

I don't know if I deliberately kept this shackle to facilitate the future of Qiu Tuolan?

"Maybe Empress Jiang's top priority now is to use Qiu Mengmin's disrespect for Concubine Xihe, and insinuate that Empress Dowager Gu treats Empress Dowager Ye badly." Qiu Yulan secretly thought, "I'm worried that if I dissolve the marriage contract at this time, it will give Empress Dowager Gu a chance to divert the topic!" ”

If so, then after the dust settles on Qiu Mengmin's disrespect for his mother-in-law...... There was hope for her to regain her free body.

Thinking of this possibility, Qiu Yulan looked forward to it with a happy mood.

However, on the way to the palace gate, this pleasure was ruined by a greeting from behind - Gu Yan, who came out of the corridor next to her, seemed to be waiting for her here.

He wore a hat to cover the scars on his face, and wore a complicated dress, probably because he had just entered the palace after worshipping his ancestors, and he didn't have time to change it.

"Is the county lord of Ningyi also going out of the palace? It's such a coincidence, and so is this son. Gu Yan paced over, followed the soft sedan chair of Qiu Yanlan, and said lightly, his voice was a little hoarse, I don't know if it was caused by shouting too much yesterday?

Qiu Yulan is now in the hostile camp with him, and he is not afraid of offending him a little more, so he coughed dryly: "This sounds familiar." ”

Su He lowered his head and didn't make a sound, but Ni Jin, who accompanied him, didn't have to give Gu Yan face, and laughed out loud - yesterday Jiang Yashuang said "It's such a coincidence, Gu Shizi also wants to find someone to learn" beat Gu Yan and Deng Yi's cousin to the head, how could the people in the queen's palace not talk about it?

As a result, now Gu Yan also said "such a coincidence", which was simply given to Qiu Yulan to mock.

Gu Yan's muscles jumped, he glanced at Ni Jin, who was disrespectful to him, took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and said: "When I went back last night, I mentioned the county lord to my aunt, and my aunt was very sorry for the death of Princess Ruan, and planned to take the county lord to Guangyang Wangfu to live in the first month...... The county lord will not go back to the General's Mansion today, go back to the Xihe Mansion to clean up, presumably someone will pick it up tomorrow. ”

Su Heyan's face turned pale all of a sudden!
