After that night, there was no pipa sound in the Qianqing Palace, and it happened that Yue Changzai was physically inconvenient, and the other four promised to show their faces in front of the emperor one after another.

The Qianqing Palace was quiet for several days, and then Dong E's was summoned, but for more than half a month, the sound of the piano was never heard again.

Everything in the palace was peaceful, and there was no turmoil because of whether or not they could play the pipa, and Concubine Ning and Yuan Xi naturally didn't know how Dong Jiayue explained this matter to the emperor.

Only Dong Yan heard the young lady's complaint in the Xianfu Palace, and she wondered that the emperor did not ask her why she no longer played the pipa, which made Yue Chang feel faintly uneasy in her heart.

On this day, Bomu Bogol finally returned from Shengjing, he did not participate in the emperor's wedding, entered the palace to say hello to the queen, and when he was about to leave, the queen called Bogol softly and asked: "King Xiangjun, I have something to ask you." ”

Bogol clenched his fists and said, "Niangniang, please speak." ”

The queen asked, "Are you in Shengjing, have you seen my aunt, is she okay?" ”

Bogol knew that Concubine Jing was under house arrest in Shengjing, and this time he went to Shengjing, the Queen Mother personally asked him to see if Concubine Jing was okay, but he knew that this was something that could not be mentioned in the palace, in other words, even if the new queen knew the truth, she must not ask.

What's more, how could she ask herself this outsider?

It is rumored that the new queen is timid and cowardly, and Bogol is not sure whether she is timid or not, but this one does seem to be a little unintelligent.

"I don't know which aunt is Niangniang?" Bogol pretended to be confused, "Horqin married several Fujin in Shengjing, I don't know which one you are talking about." ”

The queen suddenly woke up, why did she ask Bogol to come, it was too late to regret it at the moment, and hurriedly changed her words and said: "Yes, there are several aunts, they must be fine if they come." ”

For this matter, the queen was restless, for fear of being known by Cining Palace, but sure enough, that night, she was called to lecture.

Yuan Xi didn't know anything about this, so she happily made the queen mother's favorite dishes with Barya in the small kitchen, and took the palace maid all the way to send them while it was hot, and no one stopped her in front of the door, telling her to break in straight, and heard the queen mother scolding angrily: "Do you have a brain, don't you think about it when you open your mouth and talk?" ”

Yuan Xi was frightened, and hurriedly knelt down, and Pomegranate saw this movement behind him, and hurriedly led people to retreat.

Barya originally went back to hug the little princess, but was stopped by Pomegranate and said, "Fujin, you go later, the Queen Mother is doing the rules." ”

"Yuan Xi is in trouble?" Balya worried, "What's going on here?" ”

The pomegranate whispered in her ear, and Barya knew that the queen had done something wrong, and the two of them hurried away with the little princess in their arms.

On this side, the queen finished being scolded, and when she turned around, she saw Yuan Xi kneeling in the door, she was naturally more embarrassed in her heart, and walked past Yuan Xi without saying anything.

Yuan Xi glanced inside, and saw that the queen mother was sulking, so she got up and chased her out, asking the queen to stay.

"I'm making you see jokes again." The queen wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "It's not the first time I've been scolded, you're used to it." ”

"The concubine didn't dare to look at the queen's jokes, the concubine had a few words and wanted to say to the queen." Yuan Xi has a humble attitude, although she is a few years older than the queen and has more seniority in the palace, she has always respected this little person.

The queen sighed: "Just say what you have." ”

Yuan Xi smiled: "When Concubine Jing was still the queen, the Queen Mother never blamed her, what happened in those two years, I think you also know something, you look at the opposite, but now the Queen Mother will blame you from time to time." ”

"It turns out that the Queen Mother never blamed her?" The queen couldn't believe it, "But my aunt ......"

She coughed dryly and changed her words: "Then how did the Queen Mother treat Concubine Jing?" ”

Yuan Xi said: "Concubine Jing's rights and wrongs, it's not interesting to talk about it now, the concubine only knows that the queen mother treats you as her own child, so she will raise some cultivation in everything, and if the queen mother is disappointed in you, she will not pay attention to you." ”

The queen smiled bitterly: "I also understand this truth, but I am always scolded, I am really afraid of panic, I am afraid that I will also follow in the footsteps of Concubine Jing." ”

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "You didn't see it in the palace a few years ago, and the concubines couldn't count the scolding and punishment stations, didn't this also slowly be trained?" Niangniang, you relax, tomorrow morning to accompany the Queen Mother for breakfast, the mother and son talked and laughed, and everything passed. ”

"Your heart is so big." The queen said, "No wonder the emperor likes you, okay, then I'll come over early tomorrow morning, and you will come over to accompany me." ”

Yuan Xifu said: "The concubine doesn't dare to sit at the same table with the mother, but the concubine can prepare the queen mother's favorite breakfast for you, and the queen mother's daily breakfast is good and happy all day." ”

"Okay, I'll leave it to you tomorrow." The queen was in a better mood, turned around to leave, thought about it and came back and said, "It's boring in Kunning Palace, you have to come and sit down, I like to listen to you." ”

Yuan Xi said yes, and when she saw the queen leave, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but when she turned around, she saw the queen mother standing in the door looking at her.

On this side, Barya and Pomegranate heard that the queen was gone, so they came back with the little princess in their arms, but who knew that this time they were stopped by Aunt Su Mala, and it was the queen mother's turn to make rules for Yuan Xi, so anxious that Barya said: "Look, she is still in trouble." ”

Everything was in place in the dining room, just waiting for the Queen Mother to move, but Yuan Xi had already knelt on the floor of the study for almost a cup of tea.

The queen mother slowly sorted out the books on the table, the books accidentally slipped and crackled to the ground, Yuan Xi hurriedly stepped forward to help pick them up, and carefully put them back on the table.

"I got you up?" Yu'er said coldly, "The courage is getting bigger and bigger. ”

Yuan Xi's courage was so bold that he wasn't afraid at all, and softly admitted his mistake: "Queen Mother, you spare the concubine, your knees hurt." ”

"Your ass is sitting on your heels, when I don't see it?" Yu'er took the book and knocked it heavily on Yuan Xi's forehead, "Do you want me to send a few grandmothers to correct your kneeling posture, or call your mother?" ”

Yuan Xi cheekily continued to sort out the books on the table for the Queen Mother, Yu'er didn't stop her, sat down and watched her pout, and asked, "You have the heart to tie up with the queen, and you are scheming, I have wronged you." ”

Yuan Xi didn't say a word, and diligently sorted the books into categories, and arranged them according to the way the Queen Mother liked.

"Yuan Xi, you are a smart child, E-Niang has always known it." Yu'er asked her to stop and called the child to her, "In the past month, the emperor has almost forgotten you, you should feel uncomfortable." ”

Yuan Xi shook her head stubbornly, but her eyes were red, and she quickly betrayed the grievances in her heart.

"The Queen Mother." Yuan Xi turned his heart sideways, knelt down and supported the queen mother's knee and said, "The concubine will not forget the oath to you, nor will she forget the promise to the emperor, the concubine will never do anything harmful to others and herself, but...... Please allow your concubines to gain a foothold in the harem. ”

Yu'er was helpless: "Has it come to this point, is it serious?" ”

Yuan Xi was very calm: "What you said is that it hasn't come to this point." But if the concubines were not favored in the past, the most feared person would be left out in the cold, and then the wall would fall down and everyone would push it, but I was afraid that even the palace maids and eunuchs would dare to bully the concubines. This can't be, the concubine is alone, but there is also the third elder brother, and Xuan Ye can't be allowed to have a useless mother. ”

Yu'er said angrily, "Where did you put me?" With me, who dares to be presumptuous? ”

Yuan Xi looked at the Queen Mother reverently: "But the concubine wants to be a child who can make you proud, and can make Xuan Ye rely on Eniang, earlier, the concubine had nothing but to seek your refuge, and now it is up to the concubine to face everything herself." The emperor's affection for the concubines cannot be easily wasted, and the concubines do not want to live miserably. ”

She took a few steps back on her knees, kowtowed and choked up: "Queen Mother, the concubine's mother still has a father and brother, and a younger brother who is not an adult, the Tong family has experienced a turmoil of the regent's fall, and has been able to take care of it under the protection of the emperor and the queen mother. ”

"Yuan Xi, the burden on your body is too heavy, you are still so young. Get up, kid. Yu'er stretched out her hand, and Yuan Xi raised her head, tears shining brightly.

This month, she was aggrieved enough, she made all the preparations, and watched the emperor pamper the newcomer, but she didn't expect that the emperor would never return, and she forgot it.

However, she was reluctant to feel cold.

Yu'er picked up the delicate child and patted her on the back gently: "Okay, okay, let's put the burden first, the south platform of Xiyuan is almost repaired, and there is still a while before the New Year, let's take the queen with us and go there to live there for a few days." ”

Yuan Xi pursed her lips, afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would cry out of nowhere.

Yu'er said, "Take Balya, take the children, let's go." ”

Yuan Xi couldn't help it: "What about the emperor?" ”

Yu'er said angrily: "I don't think about what he does, he can't even remember you." ”

Naturally, this is a joke, Yu'er took Yuan Xi to the dining room and said: "The New Year is approaching, he is busy, and there is a word outside, saying that Shuo Sai is not good, and I don't know if he can survive the New Year, in the end, it is the emperor's brother, and he has to bother there." ”

Yuan Xi followed closely behind the Queen Mother and said distressedly: "Let's all go, the emperor ......"

Yu'er was disgusted that she was useless, and poked lightly in her heart: "Fool, he is in a hurry, he will not come, he has to give the emperor a step down." ”
