Su'er began to sit and lie nervously after knowing that she was going to bed at night, although she knew that it was a matter of time or time, but after all, it was the first time in her life, fortunately, her aunt had taught her.

As soon as it was dark, a small sedan chair stopped at the gate of the hall and waited, Situ Nian sent his sister to the sedan chair, and only turned around and returned to the room after seeing the sedan chair go away. Sitting in the dormitory, I didn't know what to do for a while, but now I saw that she thought she was worried about Su'er, and said comfortingly:

"The little master doesn't have to worry, the little master is so beautiful and smart and smart, and he will definitely win the emperor's favor." Situ Nian nodded and didn't say anything, she never doubted Su'er's ability to be favored, nor was she worried about whether she would make a mistake tonight, she was just thinking about how to go down this road, she didn't have the heart to compete for favor, and she didn't want to live such a step-by-step life, but the tree wanted to be quiet and the wind did not stop, no matter how dangerous and difficult it was, she could only go down step by step.

Xu thought too much before going to bed, and this sleep turned out to be some bizarre dreams. Situ Nian woke up in the middle of the night, and when he saw this tonight, Qiushui immediately came over and asked, "Why did the little master wake up?" Would you like some water? ”

Nian Nian shook his head and asked, "What time is it?" ”

Qiushui replied, "It's ugly." She then asked, "Is Su'er back?" Qiushui stepped forward to help her sit up and replied, "I'm back." Situ Nian sat at the head of the bed and asked, "What's wrong?" Tucked the quilt for her, stood up and replied, "It looks like everything is fine." Situ Nian closed his eyes and finally put his mind at ease, "That's good!" ”

When she got up early to see Su'er, she didn't say much, just said, "Sister is at ease, the emperor treats me very well!" Seeing that she didn't want to say more and didn't ask any more questions, Situ Nian stepped forward and took her hand, and said with a smile: "Then I'll rest assured!" ”

On the second day of bedtime, in addition to greeting the queen, according to the rules, he also went to see the queen mother. After the end of Fengyang Palace's morning province, the queen left the two of them, "Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, Concubine Yue actually chose the same tune as you, fortunately, there was no chaos, otherwise the palace would have lost face." Although the queen said this with a smile, the coldness in her eyes seemed to make the temperature in this hall drop a little!

The two sisters immediately knelt down, "It's all the concubine's carelessness, I should have paid more attention, so as not to offend the noble concubine and make the mother unhappy." ”

The queen looked at the kneeling two and replied: "This palace is nothing, but Concubine Yue is afraid that she will be really unhappy, and you will be in the position because of this, and her face will be gloomy!" Nian'er sneered in her heart, this matter of carrying the throne was proposed by the queen, which not only suppressed the limelight of the concubines but also made the mustard between them deeper, and they had to fight! But he didn't dare to show the slightest on his face, and he still knelt down and pleaded guilty again and again.

"Get up, it's not your fault, it's just that you're going to visit the Queen Mother in a while, and the Queen Mother is the cousin of the Yue Gui Concubine." The queen took a sip of the teacup handed by Shiyue, and said meaningfully.

"The concubine must be cautious in her words and deeds, so as not to make the Queen Mother and her old man angry!" Su'er hurriedly replied.

The queen stood up, and the palace people who were busy with her side stepped forward to straighten the slightly wrinkled skirt corners for her, and the queen said lightly: "It's okay!" Let's go with you. ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" The two immediately bowed their knees and thanked them

In Ningshou Palace, Situ Nian could only wait at the door because of his identity, but it was still vaguely seen that the Queen Mother was sitting in the hall, Su'er was kneeling and asking for peace, and the Queen was only slightly shorter.

"Queen Mother, this is the new Situ Liangren, who went to bed for the first time last night, and the concubine brought her over to greet you." The queen said softly.

The Queen Mother didn't answer immediately, nor did she shout, she only picked up a bowl of tea next to her, and slowly took a sip before she spoke: "Situ Liangren has such a big face, and he actually works for the queen." ”

The queen had a silly face, but she could only accompany her with a smile and said, "The concubine should also come to greet the queen mother." The Queen Mother still didn't look at her, and only drank tea slowly. After a while, he spoke: "I heard that on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, you sang the same song as Yue'er?" ”

Su'er hurriedly replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, the concubine didn't expect such a coincidence, it was all the concubine's carelessness, she must be more cautious in the future, and she will not make such a mistake again!" ”

The Queen Mother put down the teacup, "The mourning family didn't say that it was your fault, it's a trivial matter, why worry about it!" ”

Su'er lowered her body and replied: "What the Queen Mother said is very true, the noble concubine is the voice of nature, and the concubine is just a good example!" ”

"You don't have to be too arrogant, the emperor's happiness is a big thing, the emperor likes to listen to small songs these days, then you can sing well, the left is just a fresh, maybe he loves Danqing in a few days." Su'er's eyebrows jumped, and the queen mother told herself that the emperor liked herself, but she was just a fresh, but she still replied respectfully: "Yes, the concubine understands." ”

Seeing this, the Queen Mother didn't say anything, but waved her hand and said, "You get up." ”

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!" Su'er kowtowed and stood up.

The Queen Mother's eyes swept over her twice, "Since the emperor likes you now, I spend all my thoughts on how to serve the emperor well." ”

Su'er bowed her head and replied: "The concubine respectfully obeys the teachings of the Queen Mother!" ”

"The mourning family has ignored the affairs of the palace for a long time, and everything is left to the queen to take care of. Do you want to see who is the master of the harem? The Queen Mother's words are both positive and deprecating, this is to remind Su'er that although she ignores the harem on the surface, everything is clear, and she is the real master! Warn Su'er not to go against her!

How could Su'er not know the truth, and hurriedly knelt down and replied: "The concubine must serve the emperor, the queen mother, and the queen with all her heart." When the queen heard this, she immediately knelt down, "The concubine is afraid, who dares to call the master in front of the emperor's mother, the concubine only wishes the emperor's mother to be healthy, and the concubine has been serving you!" ”

Only then did the Queen Mother have a smile on her face, "It's hard for your filial piety, what are you doing on your knees, hurry up." After a few more words, the queen came out with Su'er. Thinking that she had been kneeling for a long time, Su'er's face was not good, and a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, so Qiu Ju hurriedly stepped forward to support her. Situ Nian also followed her out behind the queen.

As soon as I came out of Ningshou Palace, I saw an unknown bird chirping in the branches, and the queen saw them and said, "It is said that good birds choose trees to perch, you see, even this little bird knows how to pick up high branches." ”

The queen meant something, and the two could only follow her words with smiling faces.

The queen continued: "In my opinion, whether it is a common finch or a precious bird, as long as it is faithful, it is a good bird, since you have chosen this high branch, you don't have to change it again, otherwise there will be no good end, you see?" "It seems that the queen is not only afraid of the queen mother's embarrassment, but also depends on whether they are loyal.

It is even rumored in the palace that the Queen Mother is at odds with the Queen, which seems to be true! The queen mother is the emperor's mother-in-law, not the biological mother, but she failed to give birth to a son, so it was the emperor's turn to ascend the throne. I heard that the queen mother's first instructions were not the current saints, but the first emperor insisted that he made the prince of the year the crown prince, that is, the current emperor. The Queen Mother's father and brothers are all famous generals, and the famous General Weizhen is the nephew of the Queen Mother, who has always been closely related to the front of the harem, and the General Weizhen holds a heavy army, and the influence of the Queen Mother in the palace should not be underestimated. Thinking about it, the emperor was also afraid that the queen mother's relatives would interfere in politics, so he deliberately chose one queen and two concubines for the emperor, and they were all veterans.

The two immediately knelt down and said, "The concubine is the head of the mother." ”

The queen waved her hand and motioned for them to get up, "Don't kneel at every turn, the Queen Mother's words should be taken to heart!" ”

"Yes, the concubine should keep it in mind!"
