Wei Nong calmly returned to the East Palace, and the will of the grounding followed. Xiaoxin, who was knocked unconscious by her, was not completely awake, and I heard that it was Wei Liangyuan who mediated it, so that Xiaoxin was not severely punished, but she was also grounded in the Hanzi Hall with her.

Wei Nong felt guilty about this, but she really couldn't wait any longer. She inquired about the recent refusal of the King of Chu to go to court because of illness, so she chose this date. She didn't want the King of Chu to know that she had remarried Nie Xingyi, a sanctimonious executioner.

The days of confinement were very painful, and although there was no shortage of food and clothing, all contact with the outside world was cut off. Is King Yan still alive? How is Nie Xingji's current condition? She didn't know anything. And the most passive thing is that Nie Xingyi has never been here once, and she doesn't even have a chance to probe the mouth.

Isolated.

Rao is like this, and he still smells the breath of wind and rain in the future. Although everything was calm in the East Palace, she knew that there must be hidden turmoil in the court, and Queen Helian and Nie Xingyi must be restraining Nie Xingji and stepping up the pace of ascending the throne.

After more than ten days like this, Nie Xingyi finally sent someone to send in a message - during her grounding, the palace seal of the crown princess was temporarily kept by Liangdi Ming Danshu.

This is simple, but Wei Nong knows in her heart that this is to let Ming Danshu temporarily preside over the affairs of the East Palace on her behalf.

When Xiaoxin heard this, she only sighed: "Your Highness is really unkind. ”

Wei Nong was very calm: "The huge East Palace is naturally indispensable to the people in the Lord. In the past, Ming Liangdi was in charge of general affairs, and she was also the highest in terms of position, so she should be handed over to her. ”

Xiaoxin was still angry when she heard this, and said with a sad face: "Now, we should have a hard time." ”

"What do you mean?" Slightly incomprehensible.

Xiaoxin didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "The slave maid served Ming Liangdi in the past, and she knows her character very well. She is a person who climbs high and steps low, treats us palace people very harshly, and strives for perfection in everything. Once there is an omission, the deduction of the monthly salary is small, and it is easy to punish and confine...... Ay! ”

"In front of the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the Prince, she is delicate and gentle, but as soon as she turns her face, she ......" Xiaoxin shook her head and said indignantly: "Now that you are grounded, it must be that she took the opportunity to please His Highness before she can re-preside over the affairs." ”

Wei Nong had never had a good impression of Ming Danshu, and she didn't have the heart to speak for her, so she fell silent.

But she didn't expect that Ming Danshu was even more arrogant than Xiaoxin. On the third day after handing over the palace seal of the crown princess, the woman's laughter could reach her ears from the Liuyun Palace. When I first heard it, Wei Nong thought that Ming Danshu happened to be near the Hanzi Palace; Later, for three days in a row, she could always hear faint chuckles or conversations, and she suddenly understood that Ming Danshu deliberately let her hear it.

Wei Nong originally thought that since the fall of the Ming family, Ming Danshu must have been disheartened. But she never expected that this woman was so capable that she would not mind the past, and she would go back to please Nie Xingyi and the culprit who killed her father and brother.

This kind of thing of admitting hatred as a relative, Wei Nong asked himself if he couldn't do it. Therefore, she admires Ming Danshu; But, too, more disdainful.

Later, Xiaoxin heard the news from somewhere, and said that Ming Danshu's various means to regain favor were nothing more than taking the initiative to approach the prince, giving comfort in a timely manner, etc., and Wei Nong had no intention of hearing it again.

Her whole mind was outside the East Palace, but she had no way to know the news. She began to lose sleep all night, or woke up in the middle of the night, and occasionally dreamed that King Yan and Nie Xingji would end badly.

In the past, she would often dream of Chu Li, but now she has been replaced by the wind and clouds of Yanwang Palace. The grounding is so tormenting, which makes Wei Nong feel like a year. If it weren't for the yellowing of the fallen leaves of the sycamore trees and the fragrant blooming of the laurel trees outside the window, she would not have imagined that the days would have passed until August.

Approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, Nie Xingyi never appeared, but Wei Liangyuan had the heart to quietly come to Hanzi Hall and bring some hand-made pastries.

"His Royal Highness is extremely busy these days, and rarely goes back to the East Palace to rest, and after dealing with the government during the day, he goes to the Longqian Palace to serve at night. Slow down on you, the concubine hasn't seen His Highness for a long time. As Wei Liangyuan spoke, he took out the dim sum from the mahogany peony carved food box one by one.

Wei Nong immediately heard some clues from it, at least, King Yan was not dead. So she hurriedly asked the palace people who served to avoid it, and then smiled back: "I also guessed that His Highness must be in charge of everything now, and it doesn't matter." Lao Wei Liangyuan came to see me, but I am afraid that His Highness will blame you. ”

Wei Liangyuan's eyes blinked slightly, as if he had no intention of saying, "Where does Your Highness have the spare time to blame the concubine now!" I don't know what happened in the court, but in the past few days, the king's illness has become more and more serious, and the eldest princess has also had a sudden headache, and a favorite concubine in Jinghou's mansion was caught stealing people, and Jinghou was also so angry that the old illness relapsed, and he closed the door and did not go out ......"

"The king is busy with state affairs, and he has to be busy with family affairs, but he is not skilled!" Wei Liangyuan fiddled with the carvings on the food box and sighed lightly: "It's really an eventful autumn!" ”

Hearing this, anyone could have heard Wei Liangyuan's intention. Wei Nong didn't know why she wanted to reveal these news to herself, and she was a little skeptical: "Liangyuan's news is really well-informed, what do you mean by telling me this?" ”

Xu guessed that Wei Nong would have this question, Wei Liangyuan smiled as usual: "The concubine is just to see that you are in a panic in Hanzi Palace, and you have not been able to understand foreign affairs for a long time, so she will pick a few major things to relieve your boredom." ”

As she spoke, she picked up a plate of pastries on the table and handed it to Wei Nong, Yingying: "After all, as the crown princess, you have to keep track of the movements of the palace, right?" ”

Wei Nong saw that although Wei Liangyuan's eyes were clear, he seemed to be hiding an inexplicable secret, obviously the other party didn't want to talk deeply, let alone have a heart-to-heart relationship. Seeing this, she was silent for a long time before reaching out to take the plate of pastries and replied lightly: "Then thank you." ”

Wei Liangyuan smiled again: "Niangniang doesn't have to be polite, the last time Princess Jincheng had an abortion, it all depended on your intercession." A concubine is not ungrateful. ”

"I'm just a side drummer, and His Highness is willing to believe you." Wei Nong is unwilling to live without a home.

Wei Liangyuan's expression remained unchanged when he heard this, and he was about to open his mouth to reply, when he suddenly heard Ming Danshu's voice outside, as if he had been stopped by the guards. She shook her head instead and smiled bitterly: "I really let the concubine say it, it's eventful." ”

Wei Nong looked at the faint wind shaking trees outside the window, remembered Ming Danshu's deliberate demonstration in the past few days, and sighed: "She is coming for me, I can't involve you." ”

Wei Nong said and wanted to get up from his seat, but was stopped by Wei Liangyuan raising his hand: "You are wrong, Ming Liangdi is coming for the concubine." Since Princess Jincheng was born, our Liangzi is concluded. Now that she is in charge of the general affairs, and she grabs the concubine to see you, she naturally wants to make an article. ”

"Then I'm going to take a look." Wei Nong insisted on getting up.

Wei Liangyuan smiled meaninglessly: "Such a trivial matter, why bother you? The concubine can settle herself. ”

Hearing this, Wei Nong didn't answer again. She always knew that Wei Liangyuan was not an ordinary concubine of the East Palace, and she must be outstanding if she could become the first woman to give Nie Xingyi a name, and let him miss him for many years.

Ming Danshu and Wei Liangyuan used to be very friendly, maybe they have secrets in each other's hands, so they can check and balance each other! Wei Nong looked at Wei Liangyuan's fearless appearance, and finally nodded: "It's okay, if I show up, it will probably intensify the conflict." If you are troubled, send someone to call me. ”

"Thank you for your concern." Wei Liangyuan straightened her dress without hurrying, and then pointed to the small plate that Fang handed to the slightly thick: "This is the Mid-Autumn Festival pastry made by the concubine herself, you can taste it while it's hot." ”

After that, she saluted Wei Nong and left.

The sound of the two women arguing soon came from outside the hall, and it was only at this time that Wei Nong suddenly woke up to something, and hurriedly broke the plate of pastries given by Wei Liangyuan one by one. The first and second pieces were filled with osmanthus brown sugar, and she was afraid of missing something, so she carefully put it in her mouth and chewed it.

Nothing!

The third piece remained the same, and it wasn't until the fourth piece of pastry was broken that a small note was finally revealed. Wei Nong looked around and made sure that there was no one in the hall, so he took out a note and looked at it carefully. The handwriting is beautiful, the pen is well-proportioned, and it is a woman's handwriting at a glance.

Wei Nong swept the contents of the note, at first he felt unbelievable, and then he felt that it was not a taste, but he couldn't tell whether he was surprised? Or rejoice? Or is it the embarrassment of being toyed with applause?

However, it didn't take long for her to come out of this emotion. She quickly poured herself a cup of hot tea, put the note in the teacup, and until she was sure that it had turned into pulp, she poured the tea into the potted chrysanthemum, and deliberately turned over the soil to bury the pulp under the soil.

After everything was ready, Wei Nong ordered Xiaoxin to bring a basin of water into it and carefully wash her hands. At this time, the dispute between Ming Danshu and Wei Liangyuan outside the Purple Hall was in full swing.

Wei Min took a deep breath and slowly walked to the main entrance of the Hanzi Palace, but was unsurprisingly stopped by the guards: "Please forgive the crown princess, you can't step out of the Hanzi Palace." ”

Wei Nong's expression sank, and he deliberately pointed to the two women who were arguing not far away, and scolded the guards: "Although the palace is grounded, it is still the crown princess!" You watched Ming Liangdi and Wei Liangyuan arguing outside the Hanzi Palace, don't you know how to dissuade them? ”

When the guards saw that the crown princess had come out in person to ask for the guilt, they knelt down and saluted, and even forgave their sins.

Wei Nong reprimanded again: "What are you doing here?" Do you want to see the liveliness of Hongu? ”

The guards had no choice but to take orders and step down the steps to dissuade Ming Danshu and Wei Liangyuan. It's okay not to persuade it, Ming Danshu was even more annoyed when she saw that she was the guard of Hanzi Palace, and pointed out that Wei Liangyuan invited Wei Nong to be a helper.

The scene was even more chaotic for a while, and he snorted coldly, and simply closed the door of the temple and let them quarrel. No one saw it, and just when the guards went to persuade them, a man who looked like a guard sneaked in from the Hanzi Palace. However, if you take a closer look, you will find that this man's figure is a little rickety, and he doesn't look like a martial arts practitioner at all.

"The old slave greets the crown princess." The man took off his hat and saluted Weinong.

"Father-in-law Bao, hurry up." Wei Nong hurriedly helped him up and asked with concern: "How is the king's condition......

Before he finished asking, a burst of aroma wafted from nowhere between his snorts, and his hands and feet softened at the same time, and the whole person staggered backwards and fell.

It wasn't the same as the plan on the slip of paper - it was the last thought on her mind before she lost consciousness.
