Xigong Jue turned his head sideways, looked at Ye Anran who was carrying a bamboo basket, and suddenly felt that she was very cute, so he smiled.

Shen Bilan looked at Ye Anran angrily, she didn't come back early, she didn't come back late, but coming back at this time ruined her good deeds.

"Enron, are you tired? Drink some water. Xigong Jue took the water bag from his waist and handed it to Ye Anran.

"Well, I'm really thirsty." Ye Anran put down the bamboo basket, took the water bag and drank a few sips of water, then looked at Shen Bilan and said, "Huh? Is the queen's foot injured healed? ”

"Uh...... Much better. Shen Bilan stammered and replied.

"Oh, now that it's okay, you're going to pick some mushrooms with me." Ye Anran affectionately held Xigong Jue's arm and said coquettishly.

"Okay." Xigong Jue looked at Ye Anran dotingly and only said one word.

Shen Bilan immediately said, "I don't dare to be here alone. ”

"Then you can come with us." Ye Anran said innocently.

"But ...... my foot hurts?" Before Shen Bilan could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Ye Anran: "You just said that your injury has healed." ”

"It's ......." Shen Bilan was speechless for a moment, she didn't expect to be dizzy by Ye Anran's circling around, and she couldn't speak.

Shen Bilan was speechless by Ye Anran's words, and then Xigong Jue accompanied Ye Anran into the forest to pick, in order to protect her safety, Xigong Jin stayed with Shen Bilan as a guard, and the angry Shen Bilan kept sitting in the carriage and sulking.

When she returned to the palace to gather, the Queen Mother praised Chen Shuyuan, because she had collected the rarest medicinal herb Blood Ganoderma lucidum, which made everyone look at the newcomer Chen Shuyuan here.

Born in a famous family, rich in learning and five cars, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs, and her appearance is stunning, although she can't be compared with the Ye family sisters, she can be regarded as a great beauty, and now she has opened everyone's eyes, and even knows medicinal materials, such a perfect woman makes Ye Anran a little ashamed.

Later, the Queen Mother rewarded Chen Shuyuan with some pearl jewelry and announced that she would return to the palace.

Concubine Ning's body was also transported out of the ice chamber in Mengshan and sent back to the Bianjing Imperial Mausoleum for burial.

After returning to the palace, the first thing the emperor did was to announce to the world that Concubine Ning died of illness, and the people mourned for three days, posthumously crowning Concubine Ning as Emperor Chunyi's concubine, and the dead little prince was posthumously crowned Prince Yi.

The next morning, it was up

The emperor looked over and found that Prime Minister Ning was not there, and he was a little puzzled: "Why is Prime Minister Ning not there?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Prime Minister Ning Cheng is ill, this is a twist handed to the emperor by Tuo Weichen." After that, an official who had a good relationship with the prime minister stepped forward and carefully sent the recital.

The emperor opened it and glanced at it, it was full of some scenes, he knew that because of Concubine Ning's matter, the prime minister was angry, so he stopped the court, saying that he was in poor health, who would believe it? It's just an excuse.

"Okay, I know, all Aiqing have something to do, and they have nothing to do." For a period of time after Concubine Ning's death, the emperor was also in a heavy mood.

After all, Concubine Ning is one of the very few concubines in the harem that the emperor treats sincerely, it should be said that so far, the emperor's favorite concubine in the harem, although she is a little rude and willful, but it is precisely because she is simple-minded that she doesn't have to figure out what she thinks in her heart, so the emperor is so good to her, but it is a pity that Concubine Ning died at a young age.

The Ning family has only such a precious woman, and Prime Minister Ning sent this niece into the palace in order to strengthen his own power, but he didn't expect that it was destined to become a tragedy.

Tianxuan Palace

"Queen Mother, are you looking for your son?" The emperor asked listlessly.

"Yes, sit down." The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and said slowly.

"Okay."

"Your Majesty, the mourning family heard about it...... Is Prime Minister Ning quitting today? The Queen Mother was obviously displeased.

"Oh, it's not a boycott, it's the prime minister who is sick, so I'll take a few days off to recuperate." The emperor explained for the prime minister.

"Your Majesty, you have to use these excuses to deceive children to fool the mourning family, will the mourning family not understand? Last time, because Concubine Ning's child was gone, he ran to Tianxuan Palace to ask for the guilt, this time, Concubine Ning passed away, and he was even more in the same situation as us. The Queen Mother analyzed angrily.

"Queen Mother, Prime Minister Ning has always loved Ling Shan, and it is normal for people to be sad and sad, so don't worry too much." In contrast, the emperor can quite understand Prime Minister Ning's mood.

"What is this called, as a veteran of the Three Dynasties, relying on his noble status, regardless of our royal face, relying on the old and selling the old, this kind of person, should resign from his official, lest he let him contain us, a little prime minister, he has lost his temper again and again, Concubine Ning's child is also the grandson of the mourning family, if something happens, isn't the mourning family sad? Concubine Ning committed suicide this time, and it has nothing to do with us, what kind of trouble did he make? The Queen Mother obviously had long been dissatisfied with Prime Minister Ning, and she said it all in one go.

The emperor naturally couldn't say anything, so he could only persuade the queen mother to calm his anger: "Queen mother, don't be angry, what should you do if you are angry and the phoenix body is broken?" This matter, let's do it first, Prime Minister Ning is in a bad mood, and we will all be considerate. ”

"Your Majesty, can't we let him go on like this? Today, Prime Minister Ning made such a fuss, did he think that the court would not be able to do without him? And what about later? If it is the secretary of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Punishment, they will all make such a boycott, and at that time, what should the emperor do? The Queen Mother asked sharply.

"...... this?" Obviously, the emperor was not prepared, so he naturally didn't know how to answer.

"The emperor can't answer, the mourning family feels that this matter must be severely punished, cure their bad habits, and I don't know who gave them these problems, our Xigong family has given them glory and wealth for so many years, and they are rewarded with honor, wealth, and high-ranking officials, is this how they repay us? Strike at every turn? How can this be reasonable, do you really think that we can't do without him? The more the Queen Mother spoke, the more excited she became, and finally she slapped the table and glared at her.

The emperor didn't dare to say anything...... I only listened to the teachings of the queen mother.

"Your Majesty, are you listening to the words of the mourning family?" The Queen Mother asked sideways.

"Yes, Erchen has been listening." The emperor sighed and replied.

"And what do you say about this?" The Queen Mother asked.

"This ...... Erchen hadn't thought it through yet, so Rong Erchen went back and thought about it. The emperor said slowly.

"No, this matter is imminent, the mourning family might as well just replace Prime Minister Ning Cheng, doesn't he want to quit the dynasty? Then don't come again. The Queen Mother said word by word.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then immediately shook his head and denied: "This ...... This can't be done, Queen Mother, this matter is very important, Prime Minister Ning is a veteran of the Three Dynasties...... He? ”

Before the emperor's words were finished, the queen mother rushed impatiently and said, "What about the elders of the three dynasties?" Is he relying on this to threaten our royal family all the time? Your Majesty, such a minister must not tolerate adultery, and after a long time, I am afraid that other officials will follow suit. ”

"What the queen mother said makes sense, but Prime Minister Ning is the prime minister of a country, and it doesn't mean that you can take it out, it is widely implicated, and I am afraid that this matter will have to be discussed in the long run." The emperor's attitude towards this matter has always been very conservative.
