Yuehua trembled and knelt down, visibly weak.

The Empress Dowager raised her chin, and Mama Lin stepped forward to help her up: "The Empress Dowager, her old man is sympathetic to your poor health, so she came over in person." ”

Yuehua thanked her against her will, bowed her head and was silent.

The Empress Dowager sat on the chair and raised her hand to point to the chair next to her: "Sit down, see that you are still not neat, you are so weak and can't help it, the mourning family is distressed when you look at it." ”

Yuehua sat down without saying a word, no longer as respectful as before.

"Are you feeling better?"

"Empress Dowager Xie cares, and she has gotten much better."

The Empress Dowager said "um" from the end of her nose: "Okay, it's good, the emperor is very attentive to your body, and he actually bothered Shao Xiang to personally condition you, which is an unprecedented grace." ”

Yuehua also let out a very light and faint "um".

"I heard that you are still angry with the emperor?"

The Empress Dowager asked straight to the point.

Yuehua shook her head: "Yuehua doesn't dare." ”

"Women, you can be petty, but you must remember to stop in moderation. If the queen has figured it out and her body will be well raised, then go to the emperor to admit her mistake, you are still the queen, and the emperor will still spoil you, why bother to be so bitter and angry and can't get along with yourself? ”

Yuehua hooked her head very low, playing with her nails, these days her body is not good, her nails are no longer as ruddy as before, and they look a little pale.

"Shao Xiang said that Yuehua's health is not good, and she will probably have to recuperate for a while longer, which is not suitable for walking around in front of the emperor."

The Empress Dowager sighed: "You kid, why did you get into the tip of the horns?" When you first entered the palace, the mourning family had already made it clear to you. You are the queen of Chang'an, and it is your responsibility to find a beauty for the emperor's concubine.

The emperor is the king of a country, and there are 3,000 beauties in the harem, three palaces and six courts, which is also reasonable. He's just a new concubine, so why bother with you wanting to die or live like this? Don't say that the emperor, if you are any man, you can't stand your brutal temperament! If you weren't the daughter of my Chang family, I'd better keep some face, I'm afraid it would be useless."

Yuehua smiled lightly: "Yuehua also feels that she may not have the qualifications to be a country, and she will disappoint the Empress Dowager." ”

"Pure angry talk." The Empress Dowager tried her best to suppress her anger and was kind to her: "Now you are the Empress of Chang'an, and you are favored by the emperor." Among your sisters, the mourning family admires you the most, with a bright future and unlimited scenery. Such a good day, is it possible that you want to bury it single-handedly?

In the past, you and Ling Yan had a little grudge, and the mourning family gave you anger, and Ling Yan also said good things in front of the mourning family, expressing repentance, and was willing to follow the example of Empress Nuying with you, so as to serve the emperor for a good life.

The mourning family thinks that you are a sensible child, and you are also broad-minded, now you just need to nod, after this hurdle, you sisters work together, and their profits are gold, and this harem of Chang'an is your world. The future of wealth and glory will be endless, which is a truth that anyone with a discerning eye understands, why can't you see it? Do you have to compete with Ling Yan, do you live or die? ”

Yuehua raised her head, looked at the Empress Dowager, and her face was surprisingly calm: "Yuehua should or not, what does it matter, isn't Chang Lingyan already a concubine now?" She enjoys her imperial favor, I enjoy my purity and peace, and everyone's well water does not interfere with river water. ”

The Empress Dowager reluctantly suppressed her anger and smiled kindly: "The mourning family said that you are the queen, although Ling Yan is a likable child, but at best he can only be a concubine, and he has no motherly demeanor." Since you can tolerate Jun Shuyuan and Lan Jieyu, why can't you live in peace with Ling Yan? The mourning family promised you that no one could move your position as queen, and the entire Chang family would be yours in the future. ”

Yuehua shook her head categorically: "Yuehua has thanked the Empress Dowager for her kindness, Yuehua may disappoint you." Who the emperor likes and who he favors, that is the emperor's business, and Yuehua has no right to interfere. But who Yuehua likes and dislikes in her heart, that's Yuehua's own business, others can't interfere, and Yuehua can't go against her will. ”

Yuehua's unruliness finally annoyed the Empress Dowager again, and her face sank suddenly.

"You mean you still can't accept Ling Yan?"

"It doesn't matter if Yuehua accepts it or not, doesn't Ling Yan have the Empress Dowager?"

The Empress Dowager stood up suddenly, furious: "You don't eat hard and soft, don't you think the mourning family will do anything to you?" ”

Yuehua shook her head lightly: "Yuehua knows how many catties and taels she has, and if the Empress Dowager wants to abolish Yuehua, it is as easy as a hand." ”

"Hehe," the Empress Dowager smiled very coldly: "The Empress is planning to break the jar?" Or do you feel that you have the support of the emperor and are fearless? ”

Yuehua, who was trembling in the face of the Empress Dowager's coercion in the past, became more and more calm at this time: "Yuehua just doesn't want to make senseless resistance." ”

"The mourning family has spent so much effort cultivating you, and you repay the mourning family like this? Well, the mourning family is simply disappointed in you, and in the future, you can fend for yourself, and the mourning family will not have much to do. ”

The Empress Dowager reprimanded sharply and stood up angrily: "Mama Lin, let's go!" ”

Yuehua got up, knelt on the ground, and didn't raise her head: "Send the Empress Dowager." ”

The Empress Dowager glared at her fiercely, she didn't expect that Chu Yuehua seemed to be soft and weak, but she had such a strong temperament, and she was not soaked in oil and salt. When she first heard about her condition, she thought it was just a petty trick, and it would automatically dissipate after a few days. Unexpectedly, after so many days, she was still so stubborn.

It's no wonder that Mo Guhan used to hold her in the palm of his hand, but now in a fit of anger, he snubbed her and ignored her. She is now a hedgehog covered in thorns.

Such a strong temperament reminded her of her father Chu Lingchuan, from the stubborn and upright shadow of her kneeling on the ground, she once again saw the proud bones of the Chu family, which was forced by power and the temptation of glory could not be easily changed, and she was just a waste of effort.

She stood where she was, with a faint sense of regret in her heart. She originally wanted to do good things in pairs, and by the way, she gave Yuehua a lesson, which made her bow down to herself. But now that Ling Yan is favored, Chu Yuehua doesn't know the general situation, and he can't tolerate half a grain of sand in his eyes, so he rejects Mo Guhan for thousands of miles.

In his own move, it can be said that he picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelons. In her heart, she clearly knew that Chang Lingyan's temperament was far less favored than Chu Yuehua's. Moreover, if Chang Lingyan does not have himself by his side, in this Forbidden City, he will die day and night, and he will not be able to achieve the climate at all, and he will not be able to bear the responsibility.

She wanted to admonish Chu Yuehua and make amends, but Yuehua was neither humble nor arrogant, and unruly, which made her a little annoyed and angry in an instant.

The Empress Dowager finally walked away angrily without looking back.

The next day, Shao Ziqing came over to ask for a pulse, and secretly brought her in a string of sugar gourds, which were hidden in her sleeve. Because of the hot weather, the syrup melted a little, and it was all over his sleeve, which was particularly eye-catching.

He himself was a little embarrassed, and smiled embarrassedly: "I have long said that you can't eat anything too sour now, but Chu Mubai has to ask me to bring it in for you, saying that you will drool when you look at it, and your appetite will be better." ”

A joke, but it made Yuehua burst into tears instantly. When she was young, she was the treasure in Chu Mubai's palm, she could tolerate her own nonsense, she could condone her vexatiousness, and she was punished for her. He was once ignorant, and used firecrackers to scare away the matchmaker who came to propose marriage to him.

Such a Chu Yuehua, even she dislikes herself, why does he still love himself so much?

He has been practicing his body like this regardless of himself, lingering on the sickbed for a long time, how should he feel distressed when he knows it outside the palace?

Shao Ziqing saw that her eyes suddenly turned red, and she was a little at a loss: "I broke your sugar gourd, and I will compensate you another day, you don't need to cry, right?" If you are seen by the girl Xiangshen, think that I am bullying you and don't fight with me? ”

Yuehua broke into a smile, took the sugar gourd, and instantly felt as if he had gone back in time, and he was still with his eyebrows hanging down, full of innocence.

Shao Ziqing carefully advised: "Don't be greedy, eat two grains to satisfy your cravings." ”

Yuehua just played with it in her hand, looking at the red and shiny sugar gourd, and her mood was much better.

"My brother, is he okay?"

Shao Ziqing hesitated slightly, and stopped talking, but was seen by Yuehua, and his heart jumped.

"What's wrong with my brother?"

Shao Ziqing shook his head: "It's okay, Brother Mu Bai, he's very good." ”

Yuehua keenly felt that Shao Ziqing must have something to hide from him.

"Something's going to happen! Lord Shao, if you conceal it, Yuehua will only become more and more worried, and it will be difficult to sleep and eat, and I hope to tell the truth. ”

Shao Ziqing only hesitated slightly, and then said truthfully: "Niangniang doesn't need to worry too much, in fact, there is nothing wrong, it's just that Brother Mu Bai was reckless for a while and collided with the emperor." ”

Yuehua stood up with a "pout": "Why?!" ”

Shao Ziqing glanced at her and said, "Naturally, it's for the mother." ”

Yuehua couldn't help but be stunned, since she was a child, her brother couldn't see that he was wronged, and he protected himself more thoughtfully than the royal princess. This time she made such a big move, Chu Mubai knew about it, and she must have been distressed. If it had been an ordinary person, he would have been killed a long time ago. Rao is the other party is the king of a country who holds the power of life and death, the ninety-five supreme, Chu Mubai is afraid that he will not give affection.

She was stunned for a long time, and then said with difficulty: "What is going on?" ”

Shao Ziqing sighed lightly and said: "That day, when he learned that you were so angry that Chang Lingyan vomited blood, he held back his anger in his heart, and wanted to find the emperor to theorize, but I stopped him." Whoever thinks that Chang Lingyan will not have long eyes, and there will be nothing to do.

Yesterday, when we were discussing in the imperial study, she relied on the emperor's favor, regardless of Rongxiang's obstruction to break in, in front of the emperor to the mother of you disrespectful, coquettish and foolish said that the palace she lived in was too shabby, Qingqiu Palace was empty anyway, and she proposed to the emperor to live in Qingqiu Palace. ”
