"Huh?" The Empress Dowager couldn't help but whisper in surprise: "It's strange, that Lian's bet was right." ”

"It's not strange, Lian's next words are shocking."

Mama Lin sold a pass appropriately, and the Empress Dowager couldn't wait to urge: "Hurry up, is it possible that she knows who poisoned her?" ”

"It's not," Mama Lin licked her lips, and her mouth was a little thirsty after a meal of vernacular: "The Lian family pointed out the real culprit behind the poisoning of the Shen family's son and framing Young Master Ling Rui on the spot!" ”

"Who is it?"

"It's a classmate who studied in the academy with Young Master Ling Rui, and a first-class student in Lishui Academy, it's a pity."

"What's the use of only reading well, this character is too bad, the heart is so vicious, and the good is good, what is the big hatred, as for the killer?" The Empress Dowager was puzzled.

"It is said that in the spring of next year, there will be two places for Lishui Academy to listen to lectures in Hanlin Academy, and the academician originally ordered him and another student with excellent grades. Who would have thought that the Lian family and the Shen family borrowed the power in the palace, and spent two dozen dots of silver, and Shengsheng squeezed the two of them down and replaced them with Young Master Ling Rui and the son of the Shen family. The man's hope was disappointed, and he became angry, and he moved his mind. ”

"Really?"

Mama Lin nodded: "Before it was dark, the fifth master sent an official to arrest the person and interrogate him in the yamen, and the person was cowardly, and he recognized it all before he was tortured." confessed that he had poisoned the Shen family's son's wine, originally he just thought that the Shen family's son's medicinal properties would come up, lose his mind, and behave nonsense, and when the time comes, his misconduct will be spread to the academy, and he will definitely have no qualifications.

Who would have thought that the medicine would be heavier, and it happened that the kick fell hard, and the son of the Shen family actually died for it. He was afraid that the official would find out about him, so he insisted that it was Young Master Ling Rui who killed someone by mistake in order to escape responsibility. ”

The Empress Dowager was silent for a while when she heard this, her face became more and more heavy, and she scolded hatefully: "This disaster is completely caused by the Lian family. Thanks to the fact that Zhiren only has the title of Hou Ye, if he gains power, the Lian family will definitely be more crazy than anyone else. This dares to seek personal gain in the name of the mourning family. If the emperor knew about this, although she was a victim, she would also arouse the emperor's suspicion and disgust. ”

Mama Lin was a little hesitant: "Actually, the old slave has always wondered why the Queen Mother has been conniving at her since the Queen Mother has always looked at the Lian family unpleasantly, so she just divorced her." ”

The Empress Dowager sighed and said quietly: "It's not because of her children. ”

"Young Master Ling Rui and Miss Ling Yan?"

"Yes, Zhiren only has Ling Rui as a child under his knees, and he will inherit the title of Marquis in the future, so the mourning family naturally wants to give him a thoughtful face. As for Ling Yan, if the child can be more restrained in the future, that ruthlessness is also something that can be made, so for the time being, the mourning family doesn't want to move her yet. ”

"It's still the Empress Dowager who is wise and thinks long-term."

"But in this round, the mourning family lost to the queen." The corners of the Empress Dowager's lips smiled slightly: "In a game of mourning, it seems that there is no way to survive, and the queen actually peeled off the cocoon and found abnormal clues, not only turning defeat into victory, but also winning beautifully." ”

"Your old man is saying that this idea was given to the Hou Ye by the queen mother?" Mama Lin pretended not to understand, and humbly asked.

"It's not, the mourning family refused to see Zhiren, originally thought that by virtue of her and Lian's festival, they would stand by and gloat, gloating, but they didn't expect that she would save Ling Rui regardless of her previous suspicions. If the heart is too good, it is not good, and then the Lian family may not receive affection. ”

The Empress Dowager shook her head and slightly twisted her brow.

Mama Lin glanced around, approached the Empress Dowager, and said in a low voice: "The old slave said something brave, your old man said that if the queen comes to the emperor to intercede with Ling Rui, who has more chances of winning, she or Concubine Ling?" ”

The Empress Dowager snorted coldly at the end of her nose: "If she really pleads, she will lose as soon as she opens her mouth." Yuehua was relieved this time, and gave the Lian family a lesson with the help of the Shen family, knock a few more sticks, and see how arrogant she will be in the future? ”

Mama Lin responded, got up and added charcoal to the charcoal basin, and brought the fruit saucer over: "The old slave peeled a golden orange for you to appetize?" ”

The Empress Dowager waved her hand: "When I am old, I can't stand the roots of my teeth when I eat a sour petal coldly." You can pick up these golden oranges and send them to the queen in a moment. ”

Mama Lin immediately understood what the Empress Dowager meant: "Well, the old slave will convey your meaning to the past." ”

The Empress Dowager waved her hand: "You can run in person, others don't worry about mourning." You tell the queen that in two days, if Yi and Ling Rui enter the palace to thank him, pass on a word, let Ling Yan stay in the mansion to take care of the Lian family, and the matter of entering the palace will be slowed down for the time being. ”

Mama Lin was stunned for a moment, knowing that this incident, Lian's arrogance annoyed the Queen Mother, and it was to frustrate her spirit, so as not to enter the palace in the future, and she no longer knew that the sky was high and the earth was thick. She bowed down and retreated, and according to the instructions of the Empress Dowager, she picked a basket of tangerines and went to Qingqiu Palace in person.

Mama Lin has always been serving the Empress Dowager closely, and there are very few things that require her to go out in person, so the palace people in the Qingqiu Palace saw her and immediately rushed into the palace to report, Yuehua hurriedly ordered Xiangshen to come out and let Mama Lin to the palace.

After greeting each other as usual, Mama Wei placed the tangerines on the table and conveyed the Empress Dowager's intentions.

"The Empress Dowager has been troubled by the affairs of Young Master Ling Rui for the past two days, and today she finally managed to see the moon and the moon, and she was happy, so she ordered the old slave to choose some good mandarins and give them to the queen mother to taste."

Yuehua herself has no ears and eyes, and the news is naturally not as well-informed as the Empress Dowager, and the matter of the Lian family's trouble in the Shen Mansion has not yet reached the Qingqiu Palace, and she is full of anxiety, and when she heard what Mama Lin said, she immediately smiled.

"Really?"

Mama Lin immediately smiled and briefly recounted the matter, and said with the finishing touch: "The Empress Dowager has some anger in her heart, all these disasters are caused by the insatiable greed of the Lian family, and she really needs to be admonished by a good life to relieve her anger, and she has made Young Master Ling Rui suffer a prison sentence." ”

Yuehua didn't dare to show her attitude easily, and continued without revealing a drop of water: "Thanks to the Empress Dowager's blessings, Ling Rui is safe." ”

Mama Lin brought all the words, and immediately took the reward, turned around and said goodbye, and did not linger long.

Yuehua only dared to be overjoyed at this time, knowing that what he expected was good, and he was also curious about the process, but thanks to his own blessing in disguise, the matter of Chang Lingyan's entry into the palace could be put on hold for the time being.

For the first time, she felt that her ears and eyes were closed, so that if there was any disturbance in the harem or the court, she would not be aware of it. You can't always rely on the Queen Mother, right?

It is said that the harem is in politics, and Yuehua has always been puzzled before, isn't it good for the concubines in the harem to keep to themselves? Why do you have to collude with the officials in the court?

Now she understands that if she wants to stand firm in the harem, she is also forced to do so. Pulling a hair and moving the whole body, sometimes a little change in the wind and clouds outside the court also implicates the fate of the harem woman. If there is no powerful person outside the palace to help him, even if he is thriving in the harem, he will still be tied to his hands and feet.

How should I be?

This year's beginning of spring is relatively early, has not yet broken five, is the beginning of spring, the top of the sheep's head is smeared with cinnabar, have eaten spring cakes, although the weather is still cold, there has been a heavy snowfall, but the beginning of spring is over, the north wind is no longer so cold, such as a knife cutting needle.

In the past few days, Mo Guhan has often gone out hunting with Shao Xiang and Chu Mubai, and he has gained a lot.

Qingqiu Palace is still deserted, not depressed because of Mo Guhan's anger at her at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, nor is it lively because of the affection on Chinese New Year's Eve. A lingering night also became an ethereal dream in Yuehua's memory.

Yuehua was originally the queen, even if she was favored, she was not as high as the queen mother and the noble queen mother, even if she was snubbed, she was still the queen and the daughter of the Chang family.

There are many people in this palace who need the eunuch leaders to stammer, and she is barely one of them.

Xiangshen asked her to go out to watch the scenery, otherwise she would be stuffy in the palace, and sooner or later she would be stuffy. I finally went out to blow the cool breeze, look at the snow scene, and dissipate the stuffiness.

Yuehua listened to her vivid description, and also felt itchy, so she covered her cloak tightly, held the stove, and prepared with full armor and went out with great interest.

Before he had walked a few steps, the heat on his body had not yet dissipated, and he saw Mo Guhan walking from the opposite side with Rongxiang as if he was strolling leisurely, pointing sideways with his face sideways, as if he was talking about the weather.

Yuehua was flustered, she didn't know how to face him, and before she got closer, she turned her body and returned to Qingqiu Palace, and fled. Xiang Shen behind him was so anxious that he frowned and stomped his feet, and Rong Xiang also beat his chest and secretly felt annoyed.

Since that day, she has not seen Mo Guhan again, until the fifth day of the new year, he sent Rongxiang to personally send a pair of palm-sized white rabbits, saying that he had obtained them from hunting.

Yuehua knew at a glance that he was lying. What does a hare look like, Yuehua knows, that pair of little rabbits are snow-white, their eyes are red, small and exquisite, fluffy and spotless, and they are not afraid of people at all, where will it be a hare?

Yuehua was very rare, took them out of the bamboo cage, held them in the palm of her pink hand, loved it, and hurriedly told Xiangshen to go to the imperial dining room to get some food.

Rong Xiang stood still, smiling flatteringly.

Yuehua consciously instructed Mama Wei to give a reward, and Rong Xiang waved his hand again and again: "The slave just wants to tell the queen that the names of these two little things have been chosen." ”

Yuehua was a little surprised, blinked and quipped, "Does the hare also have a name?" ”

Rong Xiang coughed lightly: "Yes, it is the name that Long Live Lord just gave, he said that this is not a hare, it is a rabbit master, and there must be a name." ”

Yuehua lost her anger and only lowered her head to tease the two little rabbits.

Seeing that she was silent, Rong Xiang laughed to himself: "These two rabbits have longer tails called 'hehe', and this shorter one is called 'haha'." ”
