The emperor smiled and turned to something else: "On the sixth day of the next month, Yinqing's full moon banquet, how are you preparing?" ”

The queen nodded and said, "The invitation has been sent." Everything is ready, what's wrong? ”

"That's good." The emperor said lightly: "At that time, the lord of the border country will send him to come to me to congratulate him on his birthday, and you can arrange the reception of people." ”

"Frontier Pastoral Country?" The queen was surprised, "Aren't they at war with us?" How could someone come to congratulate him? That's weird, isn't it? ”

The emperor glanced at her and said lightly: "It's nothing, they have already handed over a letter asking for peace, this time they are officially attached to our dynasty and wish Yinqing a birthday, but it is just a matter of convenience." ”

The queen nodded when she heard this, and said, "So that's the case, the concubine knows." ”

At that time, Daqi and the border herd had been at war for decades, and the two countries had their own victories and defeats, and some time ago, Qi Ye had trained ten thousand elite soldiers to send them to the border pass, but he didn't expect that only two months later, the herdsman over there chose to surrender. That's a good thing.

The depressed mood in the queen's heart because of the concubine suddenly improved a lot.

……

Half a month later, the concubine was in the palace.

Concubine Shi, who had been lying on the bed for a long time, actually went down to the ground on this day.

After all, Doctor Lin's decoction still temporarily hung her life, and with Su Xiyun's words inspiring, Shi has been obediently drinking medicine all this time. Also desperately eating, she has a strong desire to do business in her heart, in this case, the sick and crooked body really let her raise a few taels of meat, and the body bones are not as heavy as before, today it is unprecedentedly under the ground, this scene stunned the palace people who were waiting in the palace, and soon, someone told the queen the news.

At that time, the queen was holding the roster of daughters of officials in the court, trying to figure out which daughter to choose as a step-concubine, as soon as she heard the news, she immediately threw away the roster, with a look of joy on her face, and hurriedly took the palace people to the concubine's bedroom.

There are still bursts of medicinal fragrance lingering in the concubine's bedroom, but it is much more elegant than before. There is dappled sunlight spilling in, shining on the marble floor in the hall can be seen, there is no one in the main hall, only two maids stand aside, seeing the queen come in, hurriedly bent down to ask for peace, but the words of please peace have not yet been spoken, the queen has hurried around them to the inner hall.

There was a strong smell of fat powder lingering in the bedroom, and the queen frowned as soon as she came in, but the next moment, she saw a woman in gorgeous clothes sitting in front of the dresser, holding a jade comb and combing the thousand green silk hanging down in front of her. Look at the emaciated figure, there is no doubt that it is a concubine.

"Caifeng! Are you alright? The queen showed a hint of joy on her face, and hurried forward.

When she got closer, she saw that the Shi family had passed on a pale pink robe with a white gauze coat on the outside. Revealing a graceful neck and slender waist, the pleats of the skirt flowed like snow and moonlight, and it was more than enough to stretch around, even if you were sitting there. The peerless elegance that exudes can still confuse people's eyes.

When the queen saw this scene, what else did she not understand? Shi Shi wanted to see it, so he struggled to get off the ground, if it weren't for that, a terminally ill woman would not be able to recover in just half a month. But that's not a good thing.

The queen remembered the scene of being tired of being in Su Daiyun's desolate and remote palace for the past few days, and remembered his determined demeanor of refusing to come to see Shi Shi alive or dead, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

"Queen Mother, am I beautiful?" Just as the queen was secretly sighing, Shi suddenly turned her head and smiled at her.

The queen suddenly gasped, although the Shi family in front of her was in a better state than half a month ago, she was still extremely thin, there was not much flesh on her cheeks, and her cheekbones were also high. And she wore heavy makeup, and her bright red lips and pale and bloodless cheeks would have fainted if a timid man had seen them.

"It's beautiful!" The queen had a lot of goosebumps all over her body, but she said words of praise against her will, and at this moment, she suddenly regretted that she had come over today.

Hearing the queen's words, Shi chuckled happily.

The queen's heart suddenly became sad, but the next moment, Shi suddenly mustered up the courage and said to her: "Queen Mother, my daughter-in-law is now very well, Your Highness, when will he come to visit me?" ”

"I'll see you in two days!" The queen hurriedly said: "Zhen'er has gone out to run errands in the past two days, and he is not in the palace most of the time, and the queen mother promises you that as soon as he comes back, the palace will immediately call him here to visit you!" ”

"Really?" Shi's face suddenly appeared with joy, and she said to the queen: "Queen Mother, in two days, the retainer will wear this dress to see you, do you think it looks good?" As she spoke, she reached out and lifted her skirt.

The skirt is a good skirt, the material is high-quality, the workmanship is exquisite, and there are lifelike peony flowers embroidered by someone on it, this used to be Shi's favorite skirt in her heart, and it is also a skirt that can best set off her beauty, but now, such a good skirt, with Shi's somewhat scary face, has no sense of beauty.

"Beautiful." The queen once again said something against her will, but at this moment, she could not say anything other than these two words.

Back at Kunning Palace, the queen immediately sent someone to call over.

"Queen Mother, what are you looking for your son?" At noon, as soon as I arrived, beads of sweat appeared on my forehead.

The queen glanced at him, frowned, and said, "Look at you're tired, why don't you go and wash up?" ”

He grinned and hurriedly retreated to wash his face.

After a while, he returned to the main hall refreshed, but saw that the queen was sitting on the chaise longue waiting for him.

"Queen Mother, what is the urgency that actually asked you to call Erchen at noon, didn't Erchen just accompany you to breakfast in the morning?" The look of incomprehension was revealed.

The queen looked at him fixedly, and said lightly: "Zhen'er, how long has it been since you visited the Shi family?" Have you forgotten that she is your concubine? ”

"The Queen Mother! Here you go again! He paused and said, "How many times have Erchen said it!" The Shi family has a vicious heart, and there is only one son under his knees so far, and he has saved his life because he was born outside the palace. In this life, the ministers don't want to look at her! Don't persecute it! ”

"But she is the wife of your Ming media who is marrying and worshipping in the church!" The queen said angrily: "Now that she is terminally ill, are you stingy to even look at her?" ”

Hearing this, a trace of surprise suddenly appeared on his impatient face: "What did you say, Queen Mother?" The disease is not curable? ”

The queen said angrily: "Do you think Caifeng is beaten with iron?" Don't you know how heavy that kick is? Caifeng is just a day away now. She sighed and said, "That's why the Queen Mother wants you to take this opportunity to see her, and don't let her go blind." ”

Hearing this, he immediately fell silent.

Seeing this, the queen continued: "Caifeng has done a lot of wrong things, and the queen mother is also sad for her, but she has been married to you for so many years, and she has no credit and hard work, and now that it is coming, don't you want to take a look at her?" That woman, she has been with you for eight years! ”

When the queen said that she was moved, her tone couldn't help but stalk: "In the past eight years, she has been respectful to her mother, and has never done anything disobedient to her mother, and she is a daughter-in-law, and the queen mother likes her very much, Zhen'er, for the sake of the queen mother, you just go and see her!" ”

The queen is moved by emotion and reason, but unfortunately, after listening to these heartfelt words, our Royal Highness still has a black face and is expressionless.

After a long time, he said coldly: "Queen Mother, no matter how much you say, your son will never look at her again!" As he spoke, he stood up abruptly and strode out.

"Stop!" The queen struggled to rush open.

Hearing this, he stopped and glanced back at the queen, and said in a cold tone: "Queen Mother, what else do you have to do?" ”

At this moment, the queen suddenly lost the interest in persuading him again, and she waved her hand disheartenedly: "Okay, the queen mother is fine, you go down!" ”

He glanced at the queen suspiciously, then turned around and strode away.

The queen lay in the dormitory, almost half dead.

It wasn't until dinner time that she finally came up with a good idea.

"Mama Rong, you take my token and go to Luoxue Xuan to invite the Su family!" The queen said lightly.

Mama Rong glanced at the queen and immediately replied respectfully, "Yes, Niangniang." With that, she retreated.

……

When Su Daiyun was taken to Kunning Palace by Mama Rong, what she saw was the scene of the queen eating.

"Daiyun see the queen's mother, the mother is blessed with Jin'an." Su Daiyun knelt down quietly and bowed to the queen in a proper manner.

Sure enough, as expected, the queen did not tell her to get up.

These days, Su Daiyun has become accustomed to kneeling, so there is no difference in her face.

But unlike usual, this time, the queen did not eat by herself, but looked up at her with a complicated look.

Su Daiyun's heart suddenly shook. The queen's eyes are so scary!

But then, the queen retracted her gaze, slowly picked up a chopstick dish from the table and ate it slowly, as if it was just an accident to look at Su Daiyun just now.

Su Daiyun lowered her head and continued to kneel, she hadn't eaten dinner yet, smelling the bursts of aroma emanating from the dining table, Su Daiyun's thoughts suddenly drifted to His Royal Highness.

I don't know if he went back to Xuexuan at this time? If he goes back and doesn't see him, will he be in a hurry? Thinking of the anxious look that might be there, the corners of Su Daiyun's mouth couldn't help but hook slightly.

At this moment, the queen suddenly put down her chopsticks and looked up at her.

Su Daiyun hurriedly collected her thoughts, bowed her head and knelt respectfully.

"Su Clan, do you know why this palace brought you here today?" The queen spoke slowly.

"Daiyun doesn't know." Su Daiyun said nervously.

"Then do you know the news that the concubine is seriously ill?" The queen said coldly.

When Su Daiyun heard this, she hurriedly said: "Back to Niangniang, I naturally know that Daiyun prays every day for the concubine to defeat the disease and recover as soon as possible." ”

"There's no need for this, your prayer may aggravate her condition, you should pray that you are safe and sound!" The queen said with a hint of sarcasm in her tone: "I don't know what is good about you, but you actually let Zhen'er be so desperate for you!" I didn't even go to the concubine! ”

This was not easy to answer, Su Daiyun lowered her head and remained silent.

The queen glanced at her, she was really disgusted with her in her heart, and she didn't bother to talk to her, so she said directly: "Su, I don't want to visit Caifeng, this palace hopes that you can help persuade her." ”

"Niangniang, this ......" Su Daiyun's tone was full of hesitation.

Joke, Shi almost killed their mother in Jiangnan at the beginning, how could Su Daiyun want to visit her? But since the queen asked, she could only say respectfully: "On weekdays, His Royal Highness speaks, and Daiyun only listens, and has never persuaded him to do anything......"

"No need to pretend! If it weren't for you, would Zhen'er hate Caifeng to the core? The queen said in a disdainful tone: "You don't have to explain so much in front of this palace, this palace doesn't like to listen." You just have to say one word, yes or no? ”

Su Daiyun lowered her head and thought for a moment, then raised her head and said, "Since Niangniang has ordered, then Daiyun will give it a try." But whether he can be persuaded or not, this Daiyun doesn't dare to guarantee. ”

"I don't like to hear this!" The queen frowned and said, "If you are willing to do this, then you must do it!" If you are not sure, then tell the palace as soon as possible, and the others in the province will waste their efforts! ”

When Su Daiyun heard this, her face couldn't help but stiffen, since she promised the queen, she would definitely try her best to persuade her, as for the latter one who didn't dare to guarantee it, she was just worried that she couldn't persuade no matter what, but she didn't expect the queen's attitude to be so tough.

"Mother, Daiyun will do her best to complete this." Su Daiyun said.

The queen glanced at her and said lightly: "This palace will give you half a day, early tomorrow morning, if you still don't go to Caifeng's bedroom, then this palace will punish you!" "What blood is there.

When Su Daiyun heard this, she hurriedly said, "Yes!" Mother, Daiyun knows! ”

Hearing this, the expression on the queen's face was a little better, and she nodded, "Get up!" In the future, when you say goodbye, you don't have to kneel. ”

When Su Daiyun heard this, her face suddenly showed joy, and she said repeatedly: "Thank you, Niangniang!" ”

The queen gave her a cold look, her mouth opened, but in the end she didn't say anything.

I don't know what Su Daiyun did, after breakfast on the second day, I really went to the concubine's bedroom.

The queen was happy at first, but then she pulled down her face.

This is really ironic, it is her son, she has been persuaded so many times as a mother, but she has not agreed, but this Su Daiyun only persuaded once, and then agreed!

Does this mean that in her heart, Su Daiyun's status is higher than that of her, a mother?

As soon as she figured this out, the queen's disgust for Su Daiyun in her heart went to the next level.

In the concubine's bedroom.

Early in the morning, Shi got the news that she was going to visit her, and she immediately struggled to climb off the bed with excitement, and asked the palace people to take out all the large and small clothes in her wardrobe, and choose them one by one, but in the end, she still wore yesterday's pale pink dress with a white gauze coat, put on a makeup similar to yesterday, and sat in the palace dignified without even eating breakfast and waiting for it to come.

Because of the excitement, a few traces of blush appeared on the concubine's cheeks, which finally added a bit of beauty to her terrifying makeup.

Not long after, the voice of the palace people greeting from outside the dormitory: "See Your Highness!" ”

Shi Shi immediately stood up from the chair excitedly.

When he strode in and saw the person standing in the dormitory in front of him, he immediately turned around, bent over, and vomited!

When the palace people who were waiting respectfully on the side saw this scene, they all immediately showed surprised expressions. The two palace people hurriedly rushed over with a spittoon, and all of them spit in it.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Shi's face was particularly excited, and she immediately walked towards it, regardless of her weakness.

"Don't come here!" Turning his head and seeing her coming, he immediately shouted.

Shi suddenly stood in confusion.

Turning his head to the palace people, he shouted, "Are you all dead?" Don't hurry up and bring mouthwash! ”

"Yes! Your Highness. The palace people in the dormitory hurriedly took a teacup full of water, took it over, immediately poured a big mouthful into it, rinsed it and then spit it out in the empty bowl next to it.

After rinsing my mouth back and forth several times, I felt better.

"Your Highness, have you eaten a bad stomach? Do you want to call a doctor for treatment? Shi stepped forward with a worried look in his eyes. *筆*~]miao pen ge.

"Fuck the shit! You've just had a bad stomach! Hurriedly retreated, he scolded mercilessly: "Look at your dead face, this palace even vomited out the overnight meal!" ”

Shi's originally worried face turned snow-white in an instant, and with that bright red lip, at this moment, she was really like a dead man's face.

Suddenly he couldn't stand it and turned his head.

Shi Shi was greatly shocked, and his body staggered and fell.

"Oops! The concubine fainted! Go and get the Imperial Doctor! The palace people on the side hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Shi up from the ground. Anxiously shouted.

He had already walked away, and when he heard this, he turned around in surprise, and suddenly saw Shi Shi lying in the crook of the arms of the palace people with his eyes closed, and the figure was indescribably haggard.

At this moment, my heart suddenly touched. In an instant, I remembered the year when Shi had just married him, a water hibiscus face, a pair of rippling autumn wave eyes, that appearance, stunning Kyoto.
