The Queen Mother no longer pursued the matter, but instead asked Jingyi Xuanzhe and Fengyi's diet and daily life, and gave them another detailed advice. Suddenly remembered something, looked at Li Yanniang and said: "Li Xiuyuan, yesterday you took care of Liu Anchen, who will take care of Yu'er?" Although there are nurses and palace maids, Yu'er is the prince after all, and his peace and joy are your heavy responsibility as a mother. ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, Yu'er has been refusing to eat well recently, and she cried for a long time yesterday, and the concubine had no choice but to call the imperial doctor to feed him some soothing medicine, so she slept very early yesterday, so the concubine was able to get out and take care of Liu Anchen." Li Yanniang's face was full of worry, but her eyes were very smart.

"What, you dare to summon the imperial doctor to give Yu'er a calming medicine, he is only a child." The Queen Mother sank her face when she heard this, and her voice became stern.

"The Queen Mother is angry, concubines, concubines...... There's no way around it...... Woo woo woo ......" Li Yanniang knelt on the ground and cried sadly, as if she had been greatly wronged.

"Okay, okay, you first tell Mourning Jiayu'er why she refuses to eat well? Why do you keep crying? The Queen Mother frowned and said, "But I'm sick, what does the Imperial Doctor say?" ”

Li Yanniang wiped her tears and said, "Yu'er is not sick, just because she misses his father...... The emperor has not set foot in Yingxian Palace for a long time. As he spoke, he raised his handkerchief to hide his face and sobbed.

"What?" The Queen Mother's sharp gaze slid across her face, and she looked at Jingyi and said, "Jingyi, is what Li Xiuyuan said true?" ”

Jingyi blushed, unable to speak, looked at me worriedly, and lowered her head to acquiesce in the matter.

"Yan'er, has the emperor been to you recently?" The Queen Mother asked Su Chongyi.

Su Jin's face was calm, and he shook his head lightly and did not make a sound.

"Nonsense!" The Queen Mother shouted, and instructed Zhou Shanggong to go to the Court Bureau to get Bao Yuan's living note.

There was a dead silence in the hall, the queen mother sat on it with a cold face, Jingyi looked at me worriedly from time to time, Su Jinyan sat quietly as usual as an outsider, Li Yanniang stopped crying, sat there and sobbed from time to time, the voice made people feel more depressed.

At the moment, I was clear in my heart, but I couldn't say how depressed I was, and cold sweat came out of my palms. Now this situation is only a matter of time, since ancient times, the harem must gather grievances, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly, and I can't guess what the Queen Mother will do next?

Zhou Shanggong trotted all the way and presented the living note, and the Queen Mother flipped through a few pages and "snapped" on the table, only to be startled Li Yanniang jumped up, but her silky eyes were looking at me with a gloating smile.

"Nonsense, it's just ......nonsense," the Queen Mother said in a deep voice: "Although Concubine Xu and the emperor live together in the Chongguang Palace, but this month, the Emperor Yu not only did not invite other concubines to sleep, but even three meals were in the Chongguang Palace...... It's so unbelievable! As he spoke, he looked at me and said sharply, "Concubine Xu, do you know what is wrong?" ”

I strengthened my mind, got up and knelt in front of the Queen Mother, and said, "The concubine knows her mistake!" ”

"Since you know what is wrong, what do you say is wrong?"

"The concubines should not be left to the emperor, they should not persuade the emperor to go to the palace of the concubines more, and they should not make the queen mother angry." My heart is sour, but I still have to make compromises.

"Since you understand, why don't you persuade the emperor to let him mess around, isn't this your intention?" The Queen Mother's voice was not high, but her tone was very bad.

"The Queen Mother Mingjian, the concubine will never dare to be favored, but the emperor is the respect of the ninety-five, if he does not want to be persuaded by others, it is useless. Rui'er was derelict in her duties, and asked the Queen Mother to punish her. I held back my tears and said quietly.

"Alas......" The Queen Mother sighed lightly, and said in a soothing tone: "Concubine Xu, the harem is peaceful and stable, and only when the rain and dew are evenly wet, can the harem maintain a peaceful atmosphere." Get up first. ”

"Queen Mother, that's it?" Li Yanniang saw that the Queen Mother didn't seem to have any intention of blaming me, so she asked out loud.

"Li Xiuyuan, what do you do?" The Queen Mother looked sharply at Li Yanniang.

"Concubine, don't dare to talk about it." Li Yanniang was shocked by that gaze and hurriedly stopped.

The Queen Mother returned to her usual peaceful state, took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Concubine Xu has just entered the palace and is newly married, and it is normal for the emperor to be in love, but you must know the proportions yourself, and you should not be pampered and arrogant." The emperor likes you, so you have to persuade the emperor more on weekdays, and always remember your duty. Although the emperor's ninety-five dignity cannot be disobeyed, the concubine must be rational and knowledgeable in order to help from the side. Only when the harem is harmonious and stable, can we have a peaceful birthday, this is the virtue that the concubine should have, not just blindly trying to let the emperor like him, that is the fox to confuse the lord, can you understand? ”

"The concubine understands." How can I bewitch the Lord, alas...... Isn't it possible that I have to personally send Bao Yuan to another woman's bed to be considered virtuous? Thinking of this, the eyes were dry and painful, and the slightest pain from the nails embedded in the palm relieved a little bitterness.

"But then again, the concubines should get along in harmony, and they must not be jealous, and they must not be jealous of anything, and they have nothing to do......" The Queen Mother slowed down her tone, looked at Li Yanniang lightly, and said: "Don't think that the mourning family is old, you can't see who is good and who is unconscious, as a concubine, you must have the appearance of a concubine, don't make ghosts here in the mourning family...... After that, he waved his hand and said: "Today, everyone goes back and thinks about it for themselves, the mourning family is also lacking, you all retreat...... Yan'er, you stay and talk to the mourners. ”

I bowed my eyebrows and retired, my heart aching. Zhiqiu helped me out of Qinghe Palace, Jingyi caught up and walked side by side with me, she wanted to open her mouth several times but swallowed back silently, just held my hand tightly, her eyes were concerned.

I smiled sadly at her, feeling more and more bitter in my heart, although Jingyi has never expressed dissatisfaction, but she will also have resentment in her heart, right?

When she was about to arrive at the Chongguang Palace, Jingyi called her personal palace person Jiao Xing to hand over a pot of sweet soup to Zhiqiu, and said to me: "Sister Rui'er, this is a soup boiled with some raw and coughing ingredients, I heard that the emperor has a bad cough this morning, you persuade him to drink more......"

"Why don't you send it yourself, sister?"

"No, it's the same for my sister to bring back." Jingyi smiled and shook her head.

"Sister......" I called her lightly, "Do you also complain that I monopolized the emperor and robbed my sister of favor?" ”
