In the small courtyard next to Cining Palace, Yuan Xi was squatting on the ground, pruning the grass and trees with Balya Fujin, so that the flower branches would spit out more green shoots and bloom more flowers in the spring.

Barya was surprised and said, "How can you do this?" ”

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "In the past, my mother was in charge of it tightly, and punished me for thinking behind closed doors in the yard, I learned it from the gardener, so that I could pass the time, anyway, I don't want to be in a daze in the house." ”

Barya hugged her knees and said, "The days in the palace are very long. ”

Yuan Xi's gaze dimmed slightly, and he bowed his head slightly: "But it's long, I have cut all the flowers and grass in Jingren Palace, and if I cut it again, I will be bald." ”

Barya smiled: "After that, you come to me to cut it, there are more flowers and plants in Cining Palace, and if the Queen Mother agrees, she can also ask you to take care of it." ”

Yuan Xi lowered his head and put away the scissors: "Sister, but when I came to the palace, I didn't cut flowers and plants." ”

Barya was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that." And I, who should have entered the palace to do these jobs, had a good fate, and was selected by the Queen Mother......"

"Fujin, Fujin." Suddenly, the little palace maid in the Barya courtyard ran back and said nervously, "Fujin, Tong Guiren, guess what, the queen mother has gone to Chuxiu Palace." ”

Yuan Xi and Balya both looked at her blankly, as if they hadn't understood yet, and the little palace maid said, "Fortunately, we left in time, God knows what the queen mother is going to do." ”

"Then we're not here, does it matter?" Yuan Xi is afraid of the queen, she can always come up with all kinds of reasons to toss people, God knows if they are not here at this time, will it become a fault of disrespect to the queen again.

At this moment, in the Chuxiu Palace, several nobles who were guests here stood in a row respectfully, Meng Guqing took a turn in the West Side Palace, turned around and looked at Chen Guiren, and suddenly stepped forward and reached out to touch her stomach.

Chen Guiren was so frightened that she trembled, but Meng Guqing asked her: "What are you panicking about, am I terrible, or am I looking hateful and scaring you?" Do I still want to accompany the prince and grandson in your belly? ”

"No, it's not ......" Chen Guiren was so frightened that he stammered.

"What about you, afraid of me?" Meng Guqing turned around and asked.

Several nobles were so frightened that their legs were weak, and they knelt down involuntarily, Meng Guqing shook his head and said: "It's so hot in this room, you have so many mouths panting, no wonder the smell is unpleasant, aren't you afraid that Chen Guiren will be disgusted and happy?" Kneel, go outside and kneel. ”

"Niangniang......" was a little more daring, and couldn't help but speak out, as if he didn't understand why he was punished.

Meng Guqing smiled faintly: "You have won the emperor's favor one by one, and you think that you are the emperor's woman from now on, and your dignity is inviolable, right?" Then I will teach you well today, remember, you are only the emperor and my slaves, I am happy to see the slaves kneeling, I feel comfortable when I see you kneeling, in order to make your master and me happy, you must think well to please me. ”

The young nobles, who can be teenagers, are also holding pearls in their palms at home before entering the palace, who knows that when they enter the palace, they have become slaves who can be abused by the queen at will, and none of them are spared.

"Why don't you get out of here, do you want to continue to disgust me and Chen Guiren here, disgusting the little brother who was not born?" Meng Guqing said sharply, "You want to disobey my orders? ”

She came to toss people, otherwise she would burn herself to ashes with her anger and pain, and these lowly concubines were not as good as grass mustard in her eyes.

"We didn't do anything wrong, Queen Mother, you can't punish us." Ning Guiren suddenly stood up, and said to the queen, "The concubine is going to ask the emperor to be the master, and the queen mother is to be the master." ”

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the door, but before she reached the courtyard, she was stopped by the eunuch of Kunning Palace. They didn't dare not stop them, otherwise the queen would be able to tear down their bones when they turned back, and in this case, only by obeying the queen could they save their lives.

"Set it up." Meng Guqing followed to the door and said coldly, "Her mouth is so good at talking, I listen to it disgusting, so I will slap her mouth and beat her until she is obedient." ”

"Mother?" Tana stepped forward, "The rules in this palace are that only slaves slap their mouths, and concubines are ......"

"Isn't she my minion? In this palace, except for the queen mother and the emperor, everyone is my minion. Meng Guqing gently pushed Tana away, "Don't provoke me, or you will go for her?" ”

She raised her hand and waved, her knife-like gaze forced over, so frightened that several little eunuchs didn't dare to look directly, rolled up her sleeves and walked in front of Ning Guiren, and said very softly: "Offended." It was a slap on the delicate face, and this time, he didn't care about it, and slapped it four or five times in one breath.

Ning Guiren was beaten, he had never suffered such a shame and humiliation when he was so big, he struggled desperately, almost used all his strength, but he didn't run a few steps before he fell to the ground, and was grabbed and put up again, Meng Guqing was enraged, rushed forward and slapped Ning Guiren in the face with his own hand, and scolded: "Cheap-goods!" ”

The little nobleman who was cornered, ashamed and angry, instinctively raised his foot and put a foot on the queen's knee, which made Meng Guqing fall to the ground in pain, and frightened the surrounding palace maids to help her.

"Shoot her for me, kill her!" Meng Guqing was furious, pulled out the hairpin on Tana's head, pounced on it and pierced Ning Guiren's arm, Ning Guiren screamed in pain, and fainted in pain on the spot.

"The emperor, the emperor's ......" I don't know who exclaimed, the chaotic Chuxiu Palace suddenly quieted down, everyone's eyes looked at the door in unison, only to see the emperor standing motionless at the door, the expression on his face was colder than the ice and snow in the deep winter.

Meng Guqing staggered to his feet, gasping for breath, his chest rising and falling, and staring at Fu Lin fearlessly.

"Doctor Xuan." Fu Lin woke up and said calmly, "Where does she live?" ”

Only Wu Liangfu knew that in addition to the emperor's concern for the empress and Barya Fujin, he hardly cared about the nobles who had just entered the palace, and he didn't even match the names of the people, let alone know where they lived.

"Ning Guiren, live in Yikun Palace." Wu Liangfu said softly, "Your Majesty, the slave will send Ning Guiren back." ”

But Fu Lin stepped forward, ignoring everyone, and picked up the fainting woman from the trembling little eunuch's hand, he practiced the strength of the bow and sword so that he could have the strength to pick up a woman, he tried hard to support Ning Guiren's body, turned around and walked towards the door.

Ning Guiren's arm was still tied with Tana's hairpin, she gradually woke up, opened her eyes and saw the emperor, and shouted "Your Majesty ......" miserably, and then she was weak and painful and could no longer speak.

The icy cold wind blew into Chuxiu Palace in bursts, and Meng Guqing froze in place, his eyes glazed.

In this case, knowing that the emperor is in charge, everyone is not afraid, and the nobles who do not live here have quietly run away one after another while the emperor has taken Ning Guiren away. It's just that the two who originally lived in Chuxiu Palace have to wait to see what the queen will do next.

The little palace maid under Balya has been paying attention to the movement here, and she ran back in fright, telling Balya and Yuan Xi that the queen made a big fuss in Chuxiu Palace and almost killed Ning Guiren, but the emperor just arrived and took Ning Guiren away.

"Where's the Queen?" Barya asked.

"Looks like I'm going back." Her little palace maid touched her heart and said, "Fortunately, we were driven away just now, and the slave maid still felt aggrieved in her heart, fortunately." ”

Balya said to Yuan Xi: "Don't go back now, in case you meet her on the way, and you will be angry again." ”

But Jingren Palace is far away, Yuan Xi can't stay here all the time, but she is also panicked, the queen is like a devil.

Barya said, "Then I will go back with you, in case you meet, two people are better than you alone." It's not that I'm self-righteous, I'm still covered by Cining Palace, she doesn't dare to do anything to me. ”

Yes, although Barya Fujin does not have an official harem position, she is a person from Cining Palace, and she is favored by the Queen Mother, while Yuan Xi has nothing, and even the show girls who entered the palace at the same time have become the emperor's pillow people, only she has been forgotten, even on New Year's Day, the Queen Mother specially called her to a meal, but she failed to leave anything in the eyes of the emperor.

Yuan Xi is already dead.

But my brother said that if the emperor doesn't like it, he can also let the queen mother like it, at least he can have a comfortable life.

When Barya ordered someone to get a windbreaker, Yuan Xi lowered her head, held the scissors in her hand tightly, and waited for Barya to come with Yuan Xi's windbreaker, while listening to her: "Sister, can you accompany me to Cining Palace, I, I want to prune the flowers and plants in Cining Palace for the Queen Mother." ”
