After a moment of silence, it was so quiet that you could hear the sound of the wind outside the window wandering through the porch. The Queen Mother stroked her armor and said casually: "Okay." Since the mourning family has received your heart, they will naturally bless you. The queen can be suspicious, but just like the mourning family, she knows that Concubine Shu saw you in front of the Tenth Elder Brother's Zigong before she died. You remember to tell the queen that it was the mourning family who knew that you had committed a taboo in learning to sing Kunqu Opera after the death of the tenth elder brother, so they punished you, and asked you to think about it before going to the tenth elder brother's Zi Palace, and you would meet Concubine Shu. ”

Yinwan's eyes burst out with shining joy, and she bowed down again with joy and sincerity: "The concubine thanked the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother bowed slightly: "Then you should go quickly." Remember, the queen is now in full bloom, and she is a strict person, the more humble you are, the more blame you have. She can't do anything about you without full evidence. ”

Yin Wan agreed, and hurriedly dressed respectfully.

Fujia watched her leave, picked up the paper bag on the ground, and said with a smile: "What did the Queen Mother prepare?" scared Concubine Ling so much that she said everything. ”

The Queen Mother smiled, and tapped with the paper bag with the tip of her armor: "Don't you believe that the mourning family prepared the poison that ordered Concubine Shu to kill Concubine Shu?" ”

Fujia lowered her eyebrows and said, "There may be clues to this matter when I went to investigate, but now that it has been so long, where are there still traces to be found?" She smiled, "Don't be the Queen Mother scaring Concubine Ling, right?" ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "Then you drink it yourself, that is, an ordinary laxative, if she really eats it for a while, her abdominal pain is like colicing, and the pain is so scared, she will say it herself." The left and right mourning families just tried her, and she was really young, so she couldn't be frightened. ”

"I'm still young now, but this kind of scheming is deep and doesn't leak, if I get older, my mental skills will only get worse." Fujia was a little contemptuous and a little worried, "Such a scheming and ruthless person, the Queen Mother really wants to use her?" ”

The Queen Mother pondered for a moment before she made up her mind and said, "Naturally." If you want to use it, you have to use such a cunning person like a fox, what do you want to do with a simple and cute white rabbit? Is it fun to raise? The concubines Shu, Mei Concubine and Qing Concubine used by the mourning family before, Mei Concubine was jealous, and there was chaos in the nest, which caused Qing Concubine to be unable to have children, and also harmed herself. Concubine Shu is beautiful and talented, but she can't see through everything, she can't extricate herself from love words, and she burns herself to death with a fire. Such a person is not a person who falls behind the calculations of others without knowing it. So Concubine Ling is a person who can be used. ”

Fujia groaned: "But Concubine Ling was still favored when she first served the emperor, but now she is not as good as before. ”

The Queen Mother didn't think about it, and only said: "Concubine Ling's grace is weak, so I know that I want to come to the mourning family for help." Otherwise, if she doesn't ask for something from the mourning family, she will naturally not be attached to it. The mourning family saw that her family background was humble and her background was low, but she had a strong heart. Now that she is in such an embarrassing situation in the palace, the mourning family pulls her, she naturally knows the benefits of the mourning family, and she also falls into the hands of the mourning family, so she can only be obedient and obedient in the future. ”

Fujia was convinced: "The queen mother has a perfect strategy, and the slave is far behind." However, in the humble opinion of the slave maid, it is not difficult to make the concubine be favored, her face is somewhat similar to the queen, and she is younger than the queen. ”

The Queen Mother smiled, but still shook her head: "She is favored by this, but it is not enough to gain a stable foothold." Later, if she is obedient, she will realize that resemblance is not necessarily a sure benefit. ”

Fujia bowed his head and said, "Then what happened to Concubine Shu's little master ...... death?"

The Queen Mother idly pulled the agate turquoise tower pendant that fell from the button, and said categorically: "As Concubine Ling said, Concubine Shu has long been a waste. People are dead, and justice doesn't matter to her, so she doesn't have to pay attention to it. The emperor is a person who wants to save face, there are mistakes in front of Emperor Huixian and Empress Xiaoxian, and Shen Concubine is even more unbearable, the emperor refuses to speak out to the outside world, leaving them face. Concubine Shu at most disgusted the emperor, and the funeral outside always had to save face. ”

A hint of pity flashed on Fu Jia's face, and he still said respectfully: "Yes." ”

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and picked the silver hairpin behind the bun and picked the burnt black curled wick, a little depressed: "Fujia, do you think the mourning family is too ruthless?" ”

Fujia's face was soft, just like the tooth-colored robe under the shoulders of the pale crimson dark satin Ruyi on her body, so gentle that she didn't have any brilliance of her own: "The heart and vision of the queen mother, how dare the slave and maid speculate." ”

The Queen Mother supported her hands with her hands, and there was a thin fishtail aging spread to her ears under her even-tempered face, and her helplessness and old age were unavoidable, and she said sadly: "What kind of heart and vision can the mourning family have?" All the hearts and visions are not as big as the emperor's intentions. Duan Shu and Rou Shu of the mourning family ......" The Queen Mother was silent for a moment, her voice slightly choked, "There can't be such a thing anymore." The mourning family tried their best, but they just wanted to protect the thoughtfulness of their two daughters, but they couldn't. Duan Shu was at the mercy of her life like a chess piece...... What if it happens again...... The mourning family really didn't dare to think about it. If the emperor doesn't have one of our own people around him, if there is really any movement, we will really be in the dark, and we will have no idea at all. ”

Fu Jia's voice was like warm and thick cotton wool: "Don't worry, Queen Mother. ”

The Queen Mother held Fu Jia's hand tightly, as if looking for the strength to support herself: "The mourning family doesn't want to do anything, I just want the emperor to have a pair of ears by his side, know what the emperor wants to do, just don't involve the daughter of the mourning family anymore." She leaned on Fujia's arm and muttered weakly, "Don't blame the mourning family for being ruthless, the mourning family can't help it." ”

The Queen Mother sobbed lowly, Su Ri's strength had retreated, she was just a mother, a powerless mother.

Fujia stretched out his hand and put his arm on the Queen Mother's shoulder as if comfortingly, with tears in his eyes, and said quietly: "Queen Mother, no, no more." ”

Yi Huan's tragic self-immolation, to the outside world, is just a way for her to remember that her son became crazy and mentally damaged, so she accidentally burned her temple and trapped herself in it. For this reason, Yihuan's Ama Soldier Left Squire Lang Yongshou didn't have time to wipe a handful of sad tears for the early death of his beloved daughter, and first trembled and pleaded guilty, admitting that his goddaughter had no way to do it, and the sin of burning the temple.

Rong Pei heard it and was disdainful: "Is it the biological daughter or a side hall of the Old Summer Palace that matters?" Yongshou is too ignorant! ”

Ruyi looked at the young girl sleeping in the cradle, and sighed: "Yongshou only knows the severity of the crime, so he will ask for the guilt first." My daughter and grandson are gone, and there are always other relatives. He did this so that the emperor would not blame the family for implicating his family. ”

Rong Pei shook her head and sighed: "It's really pitiful! ”

Ruyi is wearing a light blue cloud pattern cloak with a snow-colored background, and her body is a one-color blue lake blue Luo clothes, and the embroidered brocade around the placket is also a slightly darker green vine and twig pattern, such as a ripple and a slight green. On his head, he pulled a loose bun with green jade and east beads, and there were a few scattered jade beads. The only eye-catching thing is a pair of long beads and jade jades that hang down to the ears, and a pair of golden partridges embroidered on the pleated draped Ruyi skirt, nestled on the densely woven silver thread light red begonia branches, ticking tactfully.

Such a light dress is like an epiphany, although it is not as honorable and luxurious as the queen, but it is also in line with her appearance when she has just come out of the moon.

Ruyi leaned down, stared at her young daughter's sleeping peaceful smile, and said, "It's pitiful!" It's pitiful to be born here, and it's even more pitiful to be sent here one by one. The emperor did not posthumously seal Concubine Shu, but buried according to the concubine position, it can be seen that it is extremely taboo to burn the palace in his heart, if it is spread, it will not ruin the reputation of the saint Ming that the emperor cares about the most. ”

Rong Pei hurriedly said: "Ten Elder Brother and Concubine Shu are dead, is it possible that the emperor still wants to investigate it?" ”

The flowers outside the window are like the sea, like brocade, and the end is a prosperous scene. Ruyi said indifferently: "Pursuing it is really bad reputation, and the emperor will definitely appease Yongshou with a few words and vague about this matter." ”

Rong Pei breathed a sigh of relief, and gently shook a translucent hibiscus fan in her hand, driving away the scorching heat of the afternoon for Ruyi. The wind wheel in the hall rotates lightly, sending the sweet breath of hosta flowers, mixed with the huge ice cubes offered in the large urn of the yellow background longevity word, and there is a bit of quiet coolness in the hall.

There was a faint chirping of young cicadas in the courtyard, one by one, and the voice was thin and long, and people were drowsy to hear. Ruyi closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep, when she suddenly heard Rong Pei ask softly: "Niangniang just said that people were sent in one by one, what do you mean ......?"

Ruyi smiled, opened her eyes and said, "This palace has just come out of confinement, and I can't serve the emperor." Concubine Shu passed away suddenly, and now although Concubine Jia is favored, she is also young in the end. The emperor can't be left without someone to serve him, but isn't there a suitable person now? ”

Rong Pei fanned her fan and said, "The queen mother is talking about Dai Meiruo?" ”

Ruyi glanced at her lightly: "The official of the feudal territory, the daughter of Na Sutu, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, is the person with the yellow flag." Can you be considered a noble birth, right? ”

Rong Pei snapped his fingers and said, "The Manchu Dynasty only has eight governors. Zhili, Liangjiang, Shaanxi, Gansu, Fujian, Zhejiang, Huguang, Liangguang, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou. She was speechless, "Coupled with the background of the yellow flag, obedient, it's amazing." This time, I'm afraid it's not enough to be a nobleman when I enter the palace, right? ”

Ruyi flicked the jade begonia leaf earrings on her earlobes: "The noble person is not wronged." Sealing a concubine or a concubine is at least the main position of the first house. She heard the cradle crying twice in her sleep, and hurriedly leaned over and hugged her for a long time before she said, "Do you know the origin of that Sutu?" His uncle Bai Haiqing was unyielding when he went to Dzungaria, and tried his best to protect the face of the Qing Dynasty. Bai Haiqing's eldest son Lai Wen served as the general of Zhenjiang, the second son Folun served as the minister of the guard, and the third son Dai He was conscripted to Dzungar by the deputy capital. His home is prominent. ”

Rong Pei hesitated: "It's about Dzungaria? Didn't the emperor marry the eldest princess Duanshu and value peace? How can you reward those who are unyielding in the Dzungar conquest? ”

"The combination of leniency and severity is the way of the king. How could the emperor be honest and think that he only relied on a princess to seek peace. The war is for the people, this is where the emperor's prestige lies. ”

Rong Pei tilted his cheeks and said, "What kind of wonderful person will this Dai family be?" It's not ugly, is it? That's where the fun begins. ”

Ruyi gently patted the daughter in her arms and sneered: "Even if there is no salt, the emperor will not be snubbed." What's more, with the emperor's eyesight, how could he ask a saltless woman to enter the palace? On July 20, Dai's entry into the palace can be seen. ”
