Li Xiyue also learned about this after the emperor issued a holy decree, and hurriedly went to Qianhe Palace, did not see Chu Sheng's face, and took Xianping to Ningshou Palace. I saw that the Queen Mother was sitting on the top with a sad face, and hurriedly bent her knees to ask for peace: "Yue'er sees the Queen Mother!" The Queen Mother is auspicious! ”

"Sit down!" The Queen Mother looked up and saw that it was her, and said lightly!

Li Xiyue didn't sit down when she heard this, but took a step closer, knelt down and said, "Auntie, the emperor ...... him."

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows slightly, and there was a trace of impatience on her already sad face, and said, "What are you doing?" ”

"Auntie, the emperor wants to drive the expedition in person, Yue'er is really relieved!" Li Xiyue knelt down and replied without raising her head.

"What are you worried about him? Are you afraid that he won't come back? The Queen Mother picked up the Xuan-colored tea cup with a lotus flower on her side, took a sip of her eyebrows, and asked.

Li Xiyue couldn't help but feel a little flustered when she heard her say so bluntly, kowtowed, and replied: "Auntie, the emperor is the king of a country, if there is any mistake, the court will definitely be in chaos, and we will not be able to live in peace in the harem!" ”

The Queen Mother sneered, gently put down the teacup, and said, "You are thinking about Sheji, then do you know that your cousin Li Ziyu is no longer there!" The Queen Mother said that her eyes dimmed suddenly, she had no children, she originally loved this nephew as if she were herself, but now the unknown is gone, how can the white-haired person send the black-haired person not to be sad!

Li Xiyue's upright body, which was originally kneeling, suddenly fell down, as if she couldn't believe what the Queen Mother said, her eyes were empty, and she said, "How come? How so? ”

Seeing her like this, the Queen Mother closed her slightly moist eyes, said in a low voice: "My Li family has been loyal to the court for generations, and now the mourning family is even more expensive as the queen mother, but she can't even keep a child!" ”

Li Xiyue didn't seem to hear the Queen Mother speak, but she was still babbling, her expression was like crying and smiling, and her face was already full of tears.

The Queen Mother suddenly opened her eyes, she no longer had the sadness of Fang Cai, replaced with hatred, and said sharply: "What have you done all these years as the daughter of the Li family?" Do you only know that children are long? ”

Li Xiyue was still kneeling on the ground, her head bowed and tears continued, she didn't believe that her brother, who had loved her since childhood, was no longer there, and she had clearly come to see her before going on the expedition.

The Queen Mother shook her head and continued: "Zi Chao is so unclear, don't you want to avenge him?" ”

"Revenge?!" Li Xiyue suddenly raised her head when she heard these two words and repeated.

"That's right!" The Queen Mother nodded hatefully.

"Who killed my cousin?"

The Queen Mother clenched her hands and said word by word: "If the mourning family is not wrong, it is the emperor you miss every day!" ”

Li Xiyue shook her head again and again as if she had been struck by lightning: "No!" No, it won't! How could the emperor do such a ruthless thing! ”

Seeing her like this, the Queen Mother rebuked with hatred: "How come my Li family has such a weak person as you!" He sighed silently and continued: "The emperor is afraid that my Li family has always wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible, but I watched him grow up, and he has never been such a resolute person, so he has not made a move, this time I am afraid that someone will instigate him behind his back!" ”

"Who is it?" Li Xiyue no longer had the ability to think, so she asked casually.

The Queen Mother scolded angrily: "Don't you have a brain, who has the emperor been with recently?" Who is the most favored in the harem now? ”

Li Xiyue knelt on the ground and dug the ground tightly with both hands, tears fell in front of her one by one, and said hatefully: "Si! Follower! Read! ”

Seeing her say this, the Queen Mother said: "The emperor is driving in person this time, I am afraid that there is another deep meaning, and I am afraid that I can't regain the power of the army, but fortunately, your uncle is still the secretary of the military department, and several of your uncles and brothers are also serving in the military department, and he doesn't have the ability to uproot my Li family!" ”

Li Xiyue couldn't hear what the Queen Mother was saying at the moment, she only hated that she couldn't cut Situ Nian with a thousand knives to vent her heart.

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she saw that her cousin and niece, who were not angry, were still kneeling, and she couldn't bear to look at Xian Ping and said, "Help her up!" ”

"Yes!" Xian Ping agreed, and hurriedly got up and helped Li Xiyue to sit down in front of the chair.

After Li Xiyue sat down, she was still silent as if she had lost her soul. Seeing this, the Queen Mother thought of Li Ziyu, whom she had loved since childhood, sighed, and said: "The emperor drove the matter of personal conquest, and the mourning family also disagreed, but it was useless for him to come to me if he had already decided to go, go back, rest well, and think carefully about the way to go!" After speaking, he waved his hand and motioned for Xianping to help her back.

Chu Sheng went to the east side of the Splendid Palace on the last night before leaving the palace, he still knew that Xia Lin was pregnant with his child in his womb, and carefully comforted her to give birth to a safe baby, and everything would wait for him to come back, Xia Lin snuggled in his arms and promised a little bit.

On this day, the emperor drove the emperor to the palace, first by the queen mother and the queen with the harem people in the Taichang Palace to worship and pray for blessings, and bowed to heaven and earth to ask the emperor to return safely. Then the noon gate, the end gate, the Rui gate are opened together, the emperor wears a dragon robe, wears a golden crown, rides the imperial chariot, civil and military officials obey each other, along the way the people shout long live, mighty, powerful in all directions. When everyone sends the emperor out of the city, the emperor will change into armor and step on a treasure horse to be sent to the front line by tens of thousands of officers and soldiers.

There is no emperor in the palace, and everyone has no heart to fight for beauty, and the atmosphere in the harem is depressed all of a sudden.

In addition to taking care of Sumire Cainu, Yu'er went to Dieqi Palace to accompany Xin'er. Since the miscarriage, Xin'er has been depressed and silent, but fortunately, Yu'er thought about making her happy, and tried her best to protect her, which made her feel a little better.

As Charlene's belly grew taller and taller, three months passed in a snap of a finger. Seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, the Ministry of Internal Affairs began to cut winter clothes for the palaces.

On this day, Yu'er was talking to Xia Lin in her palace, and Qiushui, who had been waiting by Zhuang Xin'er's side, suddenly came in crying. Yu'er knew that she had always been appropriate, and she must have been greatly wronged this time, and when she saw her cheeks red and swollen again, she stepped forward distressedly and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Qiushui was even more sad when he saw his master crying, knelt down and said, "Niangniang, you can be the master of the little master and the slave!" ”

Yu'er hurriedly helped her up and said, "Don't worry, tell me slowly!" ”

"The weather is getting colder these days, the slave maid saw that the little master was still wearing a single coat, according to the usual time at this time is also the time to cut winter clothes, but no one has come to the Butterfly Palace, so I thought about going to the Internal Affairs Office to ask, who knew that the father-in-law of the Internal Affairs Office heard that I was a person from the Butterfly Palace, and sneered, the slave and maid were angry for a while, and they stepped forward to argue a few words, and the head of the Internal Affairs Office, Father-in-law An, ordered people to slap their mouths, and also made insulting words, saying that the happy little lord should have been executed in the harem, and he thought about what new clothes to wear, if he froze to death in his own palace, it would be clean!"

Hearing this, Yu'er slapped her palm on the small table beside her, making a "bang" sound, and Xia Lin was already so frightened that she didn't dare to come out when she saw this. Jinxin hurriedly stepped forward and took Yu'er's hand, checked it and saw that there was no big problem, and persuaded loudly: "Why is Niangniang so angry, be careful with your hands!" ”

Yu'er stood up angrily and said, "Set up the Internal Affairs Office, this palace is going to meet this father-in-law!" ”

With the waiter's voice "Yu Gui Niangniang has arrived", An Lu, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, greeted him with a sneer, and said a thousand times: "Why did your concubine Niangniang come in person, if there is something to tell someone!" ”

Yu'er didn't look at him either, walked into the main hall with a calm face and sat down on the top, An Lu didn't dare to make a sound when she saw that her face was not good, so she could only stand aside with a smiling face.

Yu'er crossed the skirt with one hand, intentionally or unintentionally, and said coldly: "Grandpa An is becoming more and more errand now!" ”

An Lu lowered his face when he heard this, knelt down and asked carefully: "The slave doesn't know what Niangniang means by this?" But those dogs snubbed the mother? The minions then ordered their legs to be broken. ”

Yu'er didn't answer his words, took a sip of the tea cup on the side of her body, and An Lu, who was kneeling down, saw that the tip of her nose was already oozing sweat slightly in such a cold day. Yu'er disdains it in her heart, such an uncompetitive thing dares to step on the low and climb high, and today she has to make him increase his memory!

"I heard that your Ministry of Internal Affairs is cutting new clothes for the palaces?" After touching a cup of tea, Yu'er asked when she saw that he was already kneeling tremblingly.

Seeing that she finally spoke, An Lu hurriedly replied: "Hui Niangniang, exactly!" ”

"But every palace has a share?" Yu'er then asked.

"Hui Niangniang, each palace lady has their share of the little masters, naturally everyone has it, even the palace maids and eunuchs are also issued according to their ranks!"

When Yu'er heard this, she stood up and threw the teacup in front of him, the fine Ru porcelain broke in response, and the tea splashed all over his face, An Lu didn't dare to wipe it, kowtowed again and again, and asked: "The slave really doesn't know what made Niangniang so angry, Niangniang atoned for her sins!" Mother's Atonement! ”

"Everybody? Why don't I have people from the Splendid Palace? Are you going to die when I? Yu'er looked at him condescendingly.

An Lu kowtowed again and again in shock when he heard this, and said, "The slave really doesn't know that someone dares to snub the Splendid Palace!" As he spoke, he turned his head to look at a little eunuch standing behind him and asked sharply, "Are you dead?" Do you dare to have omissions in the palace of your concubine? Be careful, the emperor came back and peeled off your skin! ”

The little eunuch's face turned white when he heard this, and he knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "The slave doesn't dare!" Slaves don't dare! The splendid palace has been distributed up and down, and there is no omission! Mother's Wisdom! ”

Yu'er heard her say this, and glanced at Jinxin, who understood, and went out to call Qiushui.

When An Lu saw the visitor, his eyes widened, and his face was full of tea stains.

"Niangniang, the slave maid just came to beg for winter clothes, not only did Father-in-law An give the order to the slap, but the maid wants to be the master of the slave!" Qiushui said that the crying pear blossoms brought rain.

An Lu came back to his senses at this time, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said: "Niang Niang spare her life, the girl only said that she is from Dieqi Palace, and the slave really doesn't know that she is the person next to you!" ”

"Aren't the people of the Butterfly Palace human? Although Xironghua is now grounded, the emperor has not abolished her position, she is still a serious master, you dare to bully people like this, if there is a heavenly palace that loses power, do you also want to treat this palace like this! ”

"Slaves don't dare! Don't dare! Everyone in the Internal Affairs Office knelt down and kowtowed!

An Lu even opened his mouth and said: "The slave will order someone to tailor Xironghua, and it must be set up before winter!" ”

"Dogs fight against people, you order someone to beat the maid brought from home by the palace, which is equivalent to slapping the face of the palace, and the palace is not embarrassed by you, you go and get twenty boards yourself!" Regardless of his crying and begging for mercy, he got up and walked out, leaving him alone to monitor him and return to the palace after playing the board.

On the second day, the matter of the noble concubine Niangniang of the Splendid Palace severely punishing the head of the Internal Affairs Office spread all over the Sixth Palace, and everyone talked about it, some applauded and some disdained, which made the originally low harem have more to talk about.

In the Moon Reflecting Palace, An Lu knelt on the ground and cried a handful of snot and tears. Li Xiyue covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief in disgust, and listened to him talk about yesterday's events.

"Niangniang, everyone in the palace knows that the slave is your person, but the jade concubine said that the slave is a dog and a man, isn't this clearly scolding you! It's okay if the slave is wronged, but she might as well put her mother in her eyes, she is really arrogant! ”

"Why did you become a member of this palace?" Li Xiyue sneered and asked after hearing him.

"Niangniang, the slave has been devoted to you since you entered the palace, so she is naturally your person!" An Lu said and wiped his face with his sleeve and replaced it with a flattering face.

"Hearing you say this, that jade concubine really doesn't give face to this palace!"

"It's not, relying on the emperor's favor and prestige, thinking that the harem belongs to her biggest!" An Lu listened to Li Xiyue talking to him, and hurriedly replied even more incitingly.

Li Xiyue heard him mention the emperor's favor, and remembered Li Ziyu's hatred and gritted her teeth, and said: "This palace wants to see who has the final say in this harem!" As he spoke, he waved his hand and asked An Lu to go back first.
