Dong Yun left a little more thought, and followed the man's footsteps to the backyard, but unfortunately he was a few steps too late to see where he was going.

But I suddenly remembered that by Concubine Chen's side, everyone was there, and I didn't see Concubine Ning.

She rushed back to Yikun Palace and told Ling Zhao about the matter, Ling Zhao was in charge of the six palaces, and even the lives of the concubines and concubines were under her constraints.

But after all, they are the ancestors of the first emperor, and Ling Zhao and Empress will not really exercise any power, and they have always been respectful.

"Is there anything strange?" Ling Zhao said, "Maybe it's a descendant of Prince Yu's Mansion." ”

"But the man is sneaky." Dongyun said, "The slave and maid can't talk about it, why do you feel uncomfortable." ”

Ling Zhao thought for a moment and instructed Dong Yun: "You arrange for someone to go to Ningshou Palace to keep an eye on, be careful, don't let the Queen Mother misunderstand, if there are really outsiders who are making trouble among the concubines and concubines, they can't be connived." But after all, I am a junior, and this matter must be handled carefully. ”

Dong Yun promised, went out to arrange manpower, stood under the eaves and talked to the people below, but saw that Manager Li came with the little eunuch.

"Grandpa Li?" Dongyun greeted him, "Does the emperor have any orders?" ”

Manager Li picked up a sachet from the tray held by the little eunuch on the side and handed it to Dong Yun: "Please prepare a little bit, in the evening, there will be a grandmother to guide the mother." ”

Dongyun trembled and held the sachet, how could she not know what it meant.

"Grandpa Li is here?" Ling Zhao heard the movement, came out of the door, and asked kindly, "What does the emperor command?" ”

Dongyun ran back, holding the sachet in both hands, and stretched out to the young lady with an excited face.

Ling Zhao was stunned, Da Li Zi hit a thousand at the bottom of the steps, and said respectfully: "Please don't leave Yikun Palace tonight, the slave will retire first." ”

"Dongyun, go and send Grandpa Li." Ling Zhao reached out and grabbed the sachet, but in fact, he couldn't move his legs in a panic.

What day is today, today ......

In Kunning Palace, Shu Shu drank a bowl of brown sugar ginger tea that soothed his muscles and invigorated his nerves, leaned softly on the beauty couch, curled up due to the vague pain in his lower abdomen, and closed his eyes lazily.

I heard the voice of the pomegranate say: "Niangniang, the emperor is him." ”

Shu Shu opened his eyes: "What's the matter?" ”

Pomegranate looked embarrassed, but had to say: "The emperor turned over the brand of Concubine Zhao." ”

Shu Shu said: "Okay. ”

Seeing that the queen closed her eyes again, Pomegranate stared at it for a long time, and she didn't dare to say something she wanted to say, so she silently retreated.

I still remember that on the night of the second day of the first lunar month, Da Li Zi saw her come out of Kunning Palace with a heavy heart, although Da Li Zi didn't say anything, but Pomegranate himself really had something on her mind.

The old lady did not allow her to favor Miss Leaning in the future, she was not allowed to help the second master, and Pomegranate herself was not happy, she just wanted to serve the queen well.

But the reality will never be so simple, the second master must not be willing to be subordinated to his daughter, sooner or later, this inner palace will definitely be turbulent.

Pomegranate believes that the queen will never take the initiative to eliminate dissidents, but if anyone offends the prestige of the middle palace, she will definitely not be relentless.

When the time comes, there will be a loss between Miss Tilting and the queen, what should Pomegranate do, Miss Tilting, but the daughter of the Tong family.

"Aunt Pomegranate." The little palace maid who came up on the side interrupted Pomegranate's distraction.

"What's the matter?" Pomegranate settled.

"Auntie, the little sister who entered the palace with the slave maid, was assigned to serve Concubine Ning in Ningshou Palace. She just came to find the slave maid, saying that Concubine Ning wanted to invite the queen to Ningshou Palace in a few days. The little palace maid said softly, "But the concubine said that it will take a few days, don't be too deliberate." ”

Pomegranate looked around and admonished, "Be cautious, don't tell others again." ”

The little palace maid was very clever: "The slave understands. ”

In Yikun Palace, Ling Zhao, after bathing in fragrant soup, sat in front of the mirror platform in a daze, the two grandmothers who had accumulated years entered the door, and the other palace maids retreated, and the door of the dormitory was quiet and closed.

"Niangniang, slaves and maids, I want to check your body, after all, you are serving the emperor for the first time." The grandmothers have been doing this errand since the first emperor, but Lingzhao's status is precious, so they naturally have a respectful attitude.

"I know." Ling Zhao's heart hung in her throat, making her a little dumb when she spoke. As early as the beginning of the draft, she was physically checked, and she didn't care anymore.

After tossing everything, the grandmothers received the reward and retreated, it was late, Ling Zhao sat alone on the edge of the bed, only to hear the silence outside the door.

On weekdays, until dinner time, there will be people who come to ask Concubine Zhao for something, but today the emperor turned over the sign of Yikun Palace, and everyone realized that it was not too late to wait for tomorrow.

The sound of the emperor's footsteps has not come for a long time, and at this moment Ling Zhao is still worried that today will be empty.

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, Ling Zhao unconsciously grabbed the mattress, and not long after Dong Yun ran in and announced: "The emperor is entangled in government affairs, please have dinner first, the emperor will come later." ”

Ling Zhao slowly closed his eyes and relaxed himself.

Dong Yun asked worriedly, "Miss, are you okay?" ”

Ling Zhao grabbed Dong Yun's hand and pinched Dong Yun painfully, she was very afraid: "Will he deliberately embarrass me." ”

"How could it be, if this is the case, the Empress Dowager will not agree." Dong Yun encouraged the young lady, "The emperor is kind to you today, the slave and maid look at you, and the emperor's eyes on you are different from before." If you want the slave to say, the slave thinks you are much more beautiful than the queen. ”

At this moment, there was another person outside the door, it was the imperial meal given by the emperor, Dongyun didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went out to deal with it.

Where does Ling Zhao still have any appetite to eat, she is almost nervous to death.

As the night deepened, Xuan Ye finally finished everything, sat on his shoulders and went to Yikun Palace, passing through the west gate of Kunning Palace, which was unexpectedly locked a few hours earlier than usual.

Seeing this, Da Li Zi quietly looked back at the emperor, and saw that he was calm and relaxed without squinting, but Da Li Zi was not able to be steady in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Zhao would have to precede the queen...... But then again, for more than two years, the little couple has been grinding their ears and temples, am I still less?

Sleeping on the same bed and eating in the same bowl, holding hands is not an uncommon thing, kissing and hugging after people, big plums and pomegranates can not only bump into one or two times, why can't they wipe out the fire, such a heart-warming baby in his arms, the emperor is not emotional? I don't understand what these two people are waiting for.

"Big plums." Xuan Ye suddenly spoke.

"Yes." Big Plum quickly came back to his senses.

"Tomorrow's court clothes don't have to be sent to Yikun Palace." Xuan Ye got down from his shoulder, "It's good to take me back to the Qianqing Palace as soon as possible." ”

"The minions obey." Da Li Zi took the lantern from the side and led the way for the emperor, the eunuchs and palace maids in Yikun Palace knelt on the ground, and Xuan Ye strode in.

Ling Zhao knelt alone in front of the screen to greet him, wearing a light regular coat with a loose neckline, revealing his collarbones and fair skin, and then down, slightly bulging and plump, he was wrapped in a serious palace robe on weekdays.

Xuan Ye helped her up, carefully examined her face, and said gently: "I told you to wait for a long time, and they are trivial, what are the rules, they will rush to delay you in broad daylight." In the future, I won't let them toss, not the first time, not too casual. ”

"The concubine understands." Ling Zhao's face is already ripe autumn persimmon.

"I'm thirsty." Xuan Ye said, sat comfortably on the kang, and instructed Ling Zhao, "Pour a cup of tea." ”

On this side, the small kitchen of Kunning Palace boiled brown sugar ginger tea and sent it to the queen, Shu Shu took it, drank it while walking under the palace eaves.

Looking up, the moonlight was like washing, she drank two sips of ginger tea, remembered something, and asked Pomegranate: "It's not that you shouldn't eat ginger at night." ”

Pomegranate said: "The imperial doctor said, it is not advisable to eat more, and a cup of ginger tea for Niangniang warms the palace and drives away the cold, which does not hinder it." ”

Shu Shu drank the tea in his hand slowly, only to feel that his whole body was hot, his forehead was sweating, and his lower abdomen was warm, which was very comfortable.

She saw that the west door had been locked so early, and asked with a smile, "What do you mean?" ”

Pomegranate took the tea bowl and lowered her head in embarrassment: "The slave is troublesome." ”

Shu Shu said: "Actually, the emperor and I have not had a round room, there is no special reason, when we are good, often the time is not right, and when it is right at night, do you know how tired he is, he always falls asleep in my arms." ”

Pomegranate replied softly: "It's the first time I've heard you from the slave." ”

Shu Shu lowered his head and rubbed his embroidered shoes on the ground: "But ...... I still care, and it's not a taste of sourness in my heart. ”

Pomegranate said softly: "This is also human nature. ”

"That's it." Shu Shu stretched his arms, moved his waist, and said with a sigh of relief: "It's okay, no matter what, even if this is over, there is one thing left in my heart." Even if I'm narrow-minded, anyway, I think Concubine Zhao has a better accounting, so she fulfills her wish, and everything will be peaceful in the future. ”

She walked back happily, and the pomegranate followed, but the little queen said coldly: "In the next few days, he is not allowed to sleep with me, day and night, and he falls in love wherever he goes." ”

"Huh? Niangniang ...... "Pomegranate held the empty cup, stayed in front of the door, and watched the queen enter the door with a snort, that posture, I couldn't wait to tear down the emperor's bones."
