At dawn, the sun illuminates the entire Forbidden City little by little.

Today, it should be a day of celebration for the whole world, today should be a day of great attention, but today is so deserted.

As if, this special day is not really special. This day, like many ordinary days in the past. Everybody is doing familiar things and saying familiar things.

The canonization ceremony was held in a place where there was no protagonist. It's just a ceremony, but I don't even have time to prepare for the phoenix robe. Such a hurried ceremony was full of concubines, palace maids, eunuchs, and courtiers, but there was no noble queen mother.

Back to Yikun Palace, take a nap, wake up and put on shoes and socks, talk and laugh with honey, and see Xiaoqinzi hurriedly enter the door: "Niangniang, the Queen Mother is here, I have to see Niangniang." ”

Chun Xi was a little surprised, in recent years, the well water between the queen mother and the queen mother does not interfere with the river water, and there is almost a posture of old and dead not getting along. Looking for her in Yikun Palace today, it was a little surprising.

But when you think about what has happened recently, you can understand what she meant. Unhurriedly, let Mi Yi clean up and dress up for herself, and when everything was in order, she went to the main hall.

Empress Dowager Inhyun sat high on a throne in the center of the main hall, as if the original owner of the place was supposed to be her.

Chun Xi entered the door and bent his knees to say goodbye: "Please say hello to the emperor's mother, and the emperor's mother is blessed with gold." ”

The queen mother looked at Chunxi indifferently, stood up suddenly, walked quickly in front of Chunxi, raised her hand and gave Chunxi, who had just raised her head, a slap.

The queen mother lowered her head, looked at the stunned her, her eyes were like torches, and she only heard her cold voice and said: "You are only a harem concubine, what qualifications do you have to call the mourning family the emperor the queen like the emperor and queen?" ”

Chun Xi is neither humble nor arrogant, and said calmly: "The queen mother is the mother of a country and the emperor's mother-in-law, so she should be honored as the emperor's mother." When the first emperor was there, the emperor was only the elder brother of the harem concubines, but he also called you the emperor's mother. In this way, it is not wrong for the concubine to call you the emperor's mother. It's an honorific title, isn't it? ”

"Sophistry, you bewitched the emperor because of your mouth. let the emperor ignore the queen's illness, and he didn't even participate in the canonization ceremony today. The queen mother snorted coldly, turned around, turned her back to Chunxi and said: "It's you, the fox, who made the emperor ignore others, so that the queen is still in the Chengqian Palace, and there is no one who is satisfied, and even a princess doctor has not gone there." is so charming and seducing the lord, what crime should you be guilty of, Concubine Yi? ”

With a smile in her eyes, she said softly: "Whether the emperor favors his concubines or not is unpredictable and uncontrollable by the concubines." As for the queen's mother, it was because she was seriously ill that the emperor was crowned the queen in order to be happy. Today's canonization ceremony is in such a hurry, I believe the emperor also understands why. As for the imperial physician and the people waiting in the Chengqian Palace, they are not under the influence of the concubines. The hospital is not the private property of the concubines, and it is up to the emperor to decide who the doctors diagnose. The people who waited in the Chengqian Palace were all removed from their posts and investigated because they did not wait for the queen well. As for the new addition, it should also be arranged by Gu Gonggong in the worship room. Father-in-law Gu obeyed the emperor's will, and the concubines were even more inextricably controlled. In this way, what is wrong with the concubine? ”

The Queen Mother blushed, very dissatisfied with Chunxi's current attitude.

But I heard Chunxi continue: "Is it true that the emperor really came to the Yikun Palace of the concubines for the queen's concubines to accuse the concubines?" Or, just because I have an excuse today, I can finally step into Yikun Palace and ask my concubines? What the emperor did today is really a loss of identity. The concubines are just harem concubines, and if they do something wrong, they should obey the teachings of the emperor. But now the emperor came over and accused the concubines of everything, all out of nothing. The concubine was wronged. ”

"Humph! What you have done, you should know in your heart. The Empress Dowager complained: "What did you do when you went to Chengqian Palace last night?" As soon as you came out, the queen became sick like that, and now she can't even feed rice porridge, if you don't get in the way, how could the queen be like this? ”

Chun Xi replied frankly: "The concubine is even more wronged, yesterday the concubine kindly went to Chengqian Palace to visit the queen, when the queen lingered on the sickbed, the concubine said a few words of relief and left." How could you do something to hurt the queen? ”

"Dare to quibble, Lian Xue has told the mourning family." When the queen mother saw that she was stubborn, she was even more annoyed, pointed to her nose and said: "You shut her out and didn't let her in, and when she entered the house after you left, the queen fell to the ground from the bed for no reason, no one took care of her, and there was no one to help her, so it's pitiful." You say you didn't do anything, who believes? ”

"The concubine dares to act, and if she has done it, she will naturally admit it, and if she has not done it, she will force the concubine, and the concubine will definitely not admit it." Chun Xi became more and more calm: "The queen mother is here today, is it for the half-dead queen in the Chengqian Palace?" Or, for the queen who suffered the humiliation of Concubine Dong E? ”

"Clever tongue." The Queen Mother angrily reprimanded.

Chunxi sneered: "What? Speaking of the emperor's mother's heart? At the beginning, Concubine Dong E favored the sixth palace, but today's Chunxi is not as good as her. The emperor's mother is jealous of the favored concubines, and she has not given a good face since the concubines accepted the favor. Zhen Changzai was favored before, and I heard that the emperor was not embarrassed, but the queen and the concubine persuaded each other with good words, which made the emperor forgive Zhen Changzai. The emperor's mother resents the favored concubine so much, isn't it because Concubine Dong E is the only favorite? The emperor hates Concubine Dong E, so does she want to resent others? We didn't do anything wrong, the emperor is not the first emperor, and the emperor naturally understands that the concubines of the six palaces should be wet with rain and dew. And the concubines understand that they should be tolerant, and they should not only guard the emperor and charm the emperor. The emperor has been tired of the concubines for so many years, aren't the concubines innocent? Today, the emperor went to Chengqian Palace, saw that the queen was seriously ill, and after listening to a few words from Lianxue, she came to Yikun Palace, is it really appropriate? ”

The Queen Mother was speechless for a while, and when she saw that Chunxi was so aggressive, she didn't know how to deal with it. Soon after she entered the palace, she was the queen, and she has always been respected, and no one has ever dared to speak to her like this. is Concubine Dong E in person, and she has to give her some face on the surface, and she will never embarrass her in person. And today, Chunxi actually accused her, didn't she?

Is it clear that she came here today to ask about her sin? How nowadays, the wrong person. It's her?

Seeing that the queen mother didn't speak, Chun Xi said loudly: "Congratulations to the emperor." ”

The queen mother was helped out of Yikun Palace in a daze, and when she returned to her bedroom, she was still reminiscing about her words.

Think back to many years ago, when she first entered the palace. At that time, Zhaosheng, who was the queen mother, affectionately called her "Xingxuan".

She was supposed to be a high queen, a mother of the world, a harem and a model for the entire Qing Dynasty. However, she washed her face with tears all day long and swallowed her anger. She looked at the man she loved, and spoiled a charming woman every day.

She was inferior in looks to that woman, not as talented as that woman, and not even as good as that in voice.

That woman has the appearance of a captivating city, a beautiful tone, a soft figure, and green white jade-like nails. Such a woman, even she will be moved when she sees it. How could the man she loved not be deceived?

After sitting quietly on the couch all night, the Queen Mother fell asleep in the early morning of the second day, and woke up again in the afternoon.

"The Queen Mother, an hour ago, there was bad news from the Chengqian Palace, and the Queen Mother went......" The Queen Mother was not fully awake when she heard the little eunuch kneeling down trembling.

The queen mother was stunned for a moment, she didn't believe it, she felt that she had heard it wrong, and looked at the little eunuch and asked, "What did you say?" ”

The little eunuch was so anxious that he cried out, and repeated again: "Bad news came from Chengqian Palace, the queen mother went to ......"

The queen mother only felt a bang in her head, and she couldn't even sit steadily, and the whole person fell straight on the couch. The mouth kept muttering: "Impossible...... It couldn't be ......."

Tong Ruofei has always had a good body, why is it suddenly gone? After thinking about this night, the Queen Mother also figured it out, and in her heart, she really regarded Tong Ruofei as another self.

Tong Ruofei is low-key and gentle, which seems to be her younger self. is also not favored by the emperor, is also in a high position, and is also struggling in the harem.

Tong Ruofei was gone, as if he had died again. The queen mother's heart was like a knife, and she was about to lose her breath.

In the Chengqian Palace, Yunyue, as the highest person in the current harem, is responsible for dealing with Tong Ruofei's funeral.

She saw Lian Xue lying on Tong Ruofei's corpse crying bitterly, such an uncomfortable appearance, and only calmly ordered: "Lian Xue is heartfelt, the master can't wait to go with her." Today, this palace has given grace to fulfill her wishes. Let her be buried. ”

Lian Xue ignored Yun Yue's fingers in the Chengqian Palace, but this time she was very surprised to hear Yun Yue say this. She looked back at Yunyue, but only saw a back. Ning Er, who was walking at the end, suddenly turned around and smiled at her: "This is our mother's reward for repaying your kind words in front of the Queen Mother." ”

Lian Xue looked at Ning Er with resentment, and rushed forward with her teeth and claws, with a posture of fighting for her life.

Ning'er was unguarded and was scratched by her, but she was not to be outdone, and used all her strength to push Lianxue down. said fiercely: ", you want to hurt our mother." Come on, drag this out, clean it up, the first seven days of the queen's mother, and bury the queen's mother. ”

Lian Xue shouted loudly: "You are not qualified to deal with me, speaking of which, I am a female official next to the queen, and you are just a dog next to the concubine." What do you do with me? ”

Ning Er sneered: "I didn't want to dispose of you, our mother also wanted to let you go, but unfortunately you didn't cherish it." knew that the queen was seriously ill, and he told the queen mother to worry about it. Now that the Queen Mother is sick because of this, several imperial doctors have worked together to diagnose and treat the Queen Mother. If the emperor knows about this, I'm afraid you won't even have the qualifications to be martyred. Be content, mercy snow. Now it's too late to put up a stand in front of me. ”

Lian Xue never expected the Queen Mother to be so unbearable, but she said a few words, instigating her to have a conflict with Concubine Yi and others, don't let Concubine Yi be too proud. Unexpectedly, I actually put myself in, which is really vulnerable.

Lixue's matter is not finished yet, but fortunately she still has seven days. She can also keep vigil for the queen for another seven days, and then find an opportunity to deliver the queen's entrustment to him.
