When the holy decree spread throughout the six palaces, it said that because the noble person was pregnant, he was promoted to a concubine. Ah Zhen was meritorious in taking care of Jia Concubine in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and he was able to serve submissively, so he was named Shen Chang.

The queen just smiled when she looked at the holy decree, and said to Concubine Hui, who was sitting with her to enjoy the flowers: "I don't admit that I think this girl is so promising." ”

Concubine Hui was slightly displeased: "The canonization of the ancestral palace maid should start from the official woman, she is good, and she has ascended to the sky in one step." ”

"Isn't that also going to be lifted by my sister?" The queen folded a dark red Ruixiang flower and pinned it to the placket, "Ama of Ah Ji works under his sister's father, and I heard that he is quite talented, can his daughter not be particularly clever in the palace?" I didn't see a mistake, so I was transferred to the front of the emperor to serve, maybe how to fly in front of the emperor with my arms stretched out and fluttering my wings. The ancestral system was also set by the emperor in the past, and it is nothing big if the emperor changes it now. ”

Concubine Hui straightened the Ruixiang flower on the placket of the queen's clothes, and pinched off a spare flower and leaf: "No matter how you flutter, it's just a constant presence, and the concubine doesn't believe that she can still fly to the sky." If you really don't know how to put the wings on, how to take them off for her. ”

The queen smiled slightly, took a Ruixiang flower and handed it to Hui Guifei, and said with a smile: "The ancient saying is that Yun Ruixiang flowers, the origin of a monk, sleeping on the rock during the day, smelling the fragrance of flowers in a dream, and feeling that it is sought to obtain it, it is called auspicious in the flower, so it is called Ruixiang." With such auspicious flowers in hand, my sister is already in her hands, so she doesn't have to worry about it needlessly. Let's put some thought into taking care of Concubine Yi's funeral, so that the emperor can comfort him a little. ”

When she met the Queen Mother the next day, the Queen described all the events before and after Concubine Yi's death, all in detail. The Queen Mother leaned on the couch in the warm pavilion and reached out to stroke a few newly blooming pink-purple lilacs inserted in the celadon beauty: "The queen looks, how about this pot of lilacs that Fujia planted for the mourning family?" ”

The queen was returning to the palace affairs, and suddenly heard the queen mother's words, and hurriedly smiled: "Aunt Fu has served the queen mother for many years, and she knows the queen mother's mind, and this pot of lilacs must be very suitable for the queen mother's mind." ”

The Queen Mother shook her head slightly, and said lightly: "Fujia, bring scissors." ”

Fujia presented silver scissors, and the Queen Mother cut off the extra branches, and said, "It's much more refreshing to look at now." ”

The queen hurriedly said: "The eyesight of the sons and daughters is far inferior to the emperor's mother, so I can't see that those few branches are redundant." ”

The Queen Mother smiled faintly: "Queen, do you know why this palace likes this pot of lilacs?" The plantain does not show the clove knot, and they are worried about the spring breeze. Lilacs bloom in two colors, purple and white, just like someone in the palace is happy to be favored, and someone is sad to fall out of favor. In this incident, Mei Guiren lost her fetus, and Concubine Yi's mother and son died, so even Xian Guiren was punished and confined in Yanxi Palace. But this side is heartbroken, and the prudence over there is always jumping on the dragon gate, and he was favored for a while. Jia Concubine is also pregnant with a dragon seed and is highly respected. But have you ever thought about it, queen, and in this way, the palace will lose its balance. ”

The queen hurriedly bowed and said, "Erchen respectfully listens to the emperor's lesson. ”

The Queen Mother said kindly: "It is naturally worth being happy that Concubine Jia is happy, and it is indeed sad that Mei Guiren lost her son." Although the Xian nobles were imprisoned, Concubine Hui was never favored again and was snubbed by the emperor. The way of balance in this, the queen, you have to weigh it carefully. ”

Ling Bo's eyes moved slightly, and she said, "The ministers will suggest to the emperor that the nobles of Jin Feng Mei comfort Concubine Mei a little." As for Concubine Hui, her status is already high, and it is not appropriate to enter the seal again immediately, and the ministers will arrange for Concubine Hui to sleep again, so as not to make Concubine Jia pregnant and inconvenient to serve, so that the emperor feels lonely. ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "The queen can be like this, and the mourning family is very pleased." Her words changed suddenly: "But the Hai nobles are not at fault but they are imprisoned with the Xian nobles, and the Xian nobles are deeply guilty, and they only have to be punished for this, and the mourning family is really sorry for the two emperors and grandsons who died in vain." Queen, you can tell the emperor these words for the mourning family. ”

The queen was slightly embarrassed, and said: "Back to the emperor's mother, it's not that the concubines dare not tell the emperor, but I am afraid that the emperor will be soft-hearted for a while and take care of the old ......feelings."

The queen mother's tone was cold, which did not match the bright spring outside, and only said: "Although the emperor cares about the old feelings, the emperor and grandson of the mourning family cannot die in vain." Then spread the will of the mourning family, the noble Wulanala clan plotted to kill the emperor's heir, the crime is unforgivable, and he will be abolished as a concubine and live in a cold palace for life. The mourning family wants to see it, the mourning family wants her to live better than death, who dares to stop her! ”

The queen was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said: "The queen mother will give her orders, and the concubines will obey her orders." ”

When the queen went to ask for her life, she was often incense on her red sleeves and was happy and entertained. The pure concubine and Hailan also stayed by the side, and everyone hurriedly left the emperor when they saw the queen coming, respectfully greeted An, and did not dare to be arrogant for half a minute. The queen replied to the queen mother's words one by one, and the emperor was not inaccurate, but when it came to Ruyi's matter, the emperor smiled coldly: "It's still the emperor's mother who has a decision." I thought about her raising my eldest brother, and I was not ruthless for a while. Since Huang Eniang said so, it is naturally good. He raised his voice and called: "Li Yu, you will follow what the queen said and pass on the decree." ”

The queen said: "That big brother ......"

The emperor frowned slightly: "The eldest brother will hand it over to the pure concubine to take with him." Pure concubines have given birth to children, so they should be able to discipline them. When the concubine heard this, she quickly got up and thanked her.

The queen hurriedly said: "Yes, the concubine is going to go down, and tomorrow she will move the Wulanala clan to live in the cold palace." Just ......"

Ah Ji gently slapped the emperor's shoulders and said coquettishly: "That's fine." Out of sight is pure, so that the emperor will be angry when he thinks about it. ”

The queen shook the silk and said, "It's just ...... Although there is a mistake in the Wulanala clan, the emperor remembers the old relationship, and he will release his sister in a few days, so that his sister can stay with peace of mind for a few days and think about it. ”

The emperor glanced at the empress and said quietly: "How many days? If there is no will, the Wulanala clan will not be allowed to leave the cold palace for half a step for the rest of his life. ”

As soon as the emperor's words fell, Hailan's face turned pale and she almost fainted. Ye Xin, who was beside Hailan, was clever and helped Hailan.

Hailan couldn't help but kneel, stepped forward on her knees, kowtowed and said: "The emperor is gracious, please serve the emperor wholeheartedly when your sister is in the palace, and dare not have a trace of slackness, and please don't drive your sister to the cold palace." ”

The pure concubine also said: "Yes." Even if the emperor wants to punish Yueyin and beat him, it is better than throwing the Wulanala clan there alone for the rest of his life. ”

The emperor didn't look at the pure concubines, but said lightly: "There are many concubines who have followed me from the hidden mansion, if they are as arrogant and unbridled as the Wulanala clan, and dare to deliberately murder others, how will I govern the harem in the future." If you ask again, you will be locked up with her. When Yongzhang doesn't have Eniang to take care of him, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

The pure concubine was so frightened that she was dripping with cold sweat, and she knelt on the ground and didn't dare to speak. Hailan was about to say more, but the pure concubine quickly grabbed her and shook her head.

The queen owes and said indifferently: "The emperor thinks twice, Sister Ruyi has been with the emperor for many years, and there is no credit and hard work." ”

The emperor glanced at the empress casually and said with a smile: "The Ulanala clan is guilty and should be punished, and it was the empress who proposed it to me. Now the emperor has also spoken, but the queen wants me to forgive, the queen is virtuous, but it is too much to rebel and difficult to convince the public. ”

The queen looked startled, and hurriedly bent her knees: "The concubine is confused, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." ”

The emperor said, "Get up." ”

The queen didn't dare to say much, and was about to retreat with a slight smile, but she heard a child's voice outside the hall, but she was reciting a poem.

"The deer walks in the wilderness, and the strong man chases, and the frog is purple. Pull out the mountain and carry the Dingxing, and the tooth and sword are unswerving. The world doesn't hear songs, and only sighs are seen in the tent. Where are the three families in their hometown? Thousands of years of Wujiang do not wash sorrow. ”

The child's voice sounded repeatedly, but it was just reciting the poem.

The queen listened carefully and said, "It seems to be the voice of the eldest brother, reciting the emperor's imperial poems." ”

The emperor's eyebrows moved slightly, and he turned his face to say displeasedly: "A few days ago, Yonghuang memorized this imperial poem to me, and I also praised him a few words. Now I'm getting more and more cunning. ”

The queen hurriedly said: "Children's family, where are these scheming. The emperor must not be wrong with him. ”

The emperor listened for a while, and finally couldn't bear to say, "Pass him in." ”

Yonghuang was also obedient, and when he came in, he kowtowed and said: "Say hello to Huang Ama, ask for peace for Huang Eniang, and ask for peace for Shen Changzai." ”

According to the rules, the prince and the princess call the concubines other than the queen and the biological mother are called "Niangniang", and now they only call the position of Shen Chang, and do not call the sentence "Shen Niangniang", obviously not because they don't know the rules, but they disdain for such an honorific title.

The emperor was a little hesitant and said, "There are more and more rules." ”

Ah Jiqiang said with a smile: "The concubine was originally the palace maid who served the eldest brother's adoptive mother, and it is understandable that the eldest brother refused to be called according to the rules. ”

The emperor pointed at Yonghuang and said, "This is exactly the same as the Wulanala clan, I really regret leaving you to her to raise." ”

The eldest brother held back his tears and said stubbornly: "My son is raised by my mother, and my mother teaches her son in every way just to learn well, and she has never taught her son badly." I don't know where Huang Amma's words came from. The royal poem recited by the son today is taught by the mother herself, and the mother always remembers the emperor Ama in her heart, and loves her son, how can she kill the other heirs of the emperor. There will be grievances among them, and the emperor will be asked to see it. ”

The emperor sneered again and again: "It's the opposite! It's the other way around! Even my own son was bewitched by her, and he kept talking to her! ”

Ah Ji hurriedly knelt down and said, "The emperor is angry." When the eldest brother was raised in Yanxi Palace, the Wulanala clan tried every possible way to curry favor, but in fact, he didn't really love the eldest brother, but took the opportunity to invite pets, and it was for her own selfishness, wanting to 'recruit a brother'. ”

"Recruit a brother?" The queen was surprised, "What is Zhaodi?" ”

"It's a folk rumor that after adopting a boy, he will also be pregnant and give birth to a boy soon after."

The queen was surprised: "You mean, that's why the Ulanala clan competed with Concubine Hui that day, and deliberately wanted to raise the eldest brother?" ”

The emperor stretched out his hand and waved the refreshments on the table, and said angrily: "This is your mother who keeps asking for mercy, you don't have to follow her in the future, you will be raised by a pure concubine." I tell you, and I tell everyone, listen, and in the future, I will not allow anyone to intercede for the Ulanala clan, and if there is any disobedience, go with her to the cold palace to stay. ”
