The two followed the queen into the Fengyi Palace, the Fengyi Palace was already full of people, even Dong Guifei, who hardly appeared on any occasion on weekdays, came today, still wearing a dark green palace dress, with a plain jade koi on her head, and then a little more in a bun, the face was probably a thin layer of flour that was rubbed by the close maid's hard persuasion, which looked a lot more delicate.

Sitting next to Dong Guifei is the inconspicuous Concubine Zhen, who is not a gorgeous material or the knitting pattern two years ago, and the hairpin on her head is also a pair of jadeite that is not very good in color, and the carved pattern is not beautiful, and even seems to be a defective product.

Take a closer look, Jing Jieyu, Liu Meiren, and old acquaintances are all here, all dressed like blooming flowers, and the competition is open in the Grand Palace, just to please men and earn a way out.

Look at the other side, it is Shu Zhaoyi sitting next to Su Meiren, both of them are beautiful, not much dress up to have a better appearance of the beauty, a mold carved out of the same good-looking and elegant, because not much pendant dress but more conspicuous in the flowers. called Qing Xihuan to see it at a glance and smiled at the two of them.

The two of them nodded slightly, then stopped talking, and sat upright and waited for the queen to take a seat.

"Concubine Shu is still sitting here, and it is time to sit forward according to her position. When the queen passed by Shu Zhaoyi, she coldly dropped a sentence, and when she passed by Concubine Zhen in a black and red phoenix dance robe, she said in a strange voice, "It's time to sit in Concubine Zhen's place." After saying that, those who disdain it are not willing to take a second look.

Concubine Zhen buried her head, didn't dare to say more, and even trembled slightly.

"The concubine is stupid and doesn't understand what the queen mother means. Shu Zhaoyi bowed her head and said.

"Ask your good daughter, Princess Zhao, people have found a good errand for you, marry the princess as a biological mother, and be promoted to a concubine, such a good thing, but it can only be done by mother and daughter together. The queen smiled contemptuously, straightened her clothes, and sat upright with her eyes ahead.

Shu Zhaoyi then understood, raised her head and looked at Qing Xihuan who was standing on the top of the main hall, and responded unhurriedly, "Princess Zhao and the princess are raised, and the concubine will definitely live up to this responsibility." ”

"Don't live up to this responsibility?Hey, Shuzhaoyi's words are really good, so do I think it's so false when I call my sister?" I heard a sharp sound outside the main hall, and then Concubine Xian came with six palace maids in a big battle, walked past Qing Xihuan and glanced at it, looked at Chen Jiayi again, glared heavily, raised her sleeves and shook them over the two of them, and walked to the seat next to the queen and sat down.

Qing Xihuan disagreed, remembering that Shu Zhaoyi had taught her not to offend her for trivial things. And Chen Jiayi silently remembered it in his heart, and pretended to be indifferent on his face.

"It's time for my sister to change her words, she should be called Concubine Shu. The queen pulled the word Concubine Shu into a long tone, telling Shu Zhaoyi to blink slightly, and did not say anything back.

"Yes, then we have to see if what this concubine is worthwhile, if she is not worthy, and she is slight, then what position she has done, and what does it matter. Concubine Xian's arrogant words caused everyone to whisper, but Shu Zhaoyi only smiled and said, "Thank you Concubine Xian for teaching." ”

Chen Jiayi frowned deeply in his eyes, and whispered to Qing Xihuan on the side, "Hey, such a cowardly woman, why did you help her get promoted, I think even if she is promoted to the queen, she can't be angry." ”

Qing Xihuan also responded with a smile, and whispered to Chen Jiayi, "It depends on whether you want to pay it back, if you just let the bullying not pay it back, then it is mediocre, if you just save it, you will pay it back sooner or later, and if you change it to a big one, it is either cowardice or forbearance." ”

Chen Jiayi glanced at Qing Xihuan, but she still had such a heart, so she only responded with a light smile, "Okay, you're right." ”

Just as everyone was whispering, they heard a majestic shout from the hall, "Who is here to be presumptuous!"

After a threat, everyone knelt on the ground with a disgraced face to greet the visitor.

"The Queen Mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old. Everyone lowered their heads, and Qing Xihuan and Chen Jiayi were also busy bowing to the ground and did not look up.

"Get up. I saw a crimson woman in a palace dress majestic words, was supported by six palace maids on the front and back and sat on the top couch, the four palace maids behind him and put the tail in the back, the placket of the palace dress symmetrical double phoenix Tengyun, the phoenix tail has spread to the last inch below the tail, the big palace robe embroidered with gold thread has no stitch and thread of wrong work, almost flawless, the cuffs and neckline in addition to the gold thread, but also sewn a variety of gemstones, gems have no flawed spots, each is natural, picturesque.

Look at the head again, the hairpin on the double knife bun is a pair of phoenixes spread their wings and sway, dazzling, the night pearl on the phoenix's eyes is kept when the light is not seen at night, it can also give birth to a glow, highlighting the luxury.

"Empress Dowager Xie. Everyone bowed and got up, and Qing Xihuan also saw the face of the Queen Mother clearly.

The ruthlessness of the years has not been able to erase the appearance of the sinking fish and geese on the face of the beauty, Hehui is in his fifties, and the Queen Mother is nearly seventy years old, so it seems that she is like a beauty in her thirties, with no deep wrinkles and old corners of her mouth on her face, and she looks good, which makes many concubines ashamed.

Just when Qing Xihuan was stunned, suddenly the Queen Mother's gaze swept over, and she looked at Qing Xihuan, and Qing Xihuan hurriedly lowered her eyes politely.

"Princess Zhao Qing Xihuan, Princess Jiarou Chen Jiayi stepped forward. With a heavy majesty on her face, the Queen Mother called the two to step forward.

"Yes. The two of them got the order and stepped forward to stand in front of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother gently raised her eyes to look at the two, and slowly a layer of sorrow rose on her face.

"Well, they are all beautiful, their posture is not bad, and their temperament is good. The Queen Mother nodded slightly, satisfied.

Qing Xihuan and Chen Jiayi were overjoyed when they heard this, knowing that the Queen Mother was complimenting, and they all bowed their knees.

"It's just, Qing Xihuan, are you guilty!" Just after listening to the praise, Qing Xihuan was startled by the Queen Mother's drink.

Don't talk about Qing Xihuan, even everyone in the hall was startled, and they didn't understand what the queen mother meant. Only the queen and Concubine Xian are complacent, no matter what she does, as long as she is reprimanded by the Queen Mother, she is happy.

Qing Xihuan didn't raise his head, only lowered his eyes and whispered, "The concubine doesn't know, please ask the Queen Mother to make it clear." ”

"Hmph, aren't you smart? Guess for yourself. The Queen Mother slammed the tea cup on the case at Qing Xihuan's feet, which made Chen Jiayi instinctively startled, and lowered her head and looked carefully in the direction of Qing Xihuan.

Such a fall made Shu Zhaoyi stunned, although the Queen Mother was majestic, but she didn't see her lose her temper so much on weekdays, and I don't know why today, and Qing Xihuan and the Queen Mother met for the first time, why did they provoke the Queen Mother to be so angry, could it be that someone behind her was making something happen......

Shu Zhaoyi frowned lightly and watched the changes.

Everyone was panicked, covered their mouths and didn't dare to make a sound, only Dong Guifei sat on the ground without changing her face, silent.

Qing Xihuan turned unfazed and bowed to the ground, kowtowed deeply and said, "The concubine does not dare to speculate on the queen mother's intentions, but the concubine makes the queen mother unhappy, it is the fault of the concubine, and please ask the queen mother to calm her anger and not to be angry, if you can't get angry, please ask the queen mother to punish the concubine to dissipate her anger." ”

Qing Xihuan's words surprised Chen Jiayi on the side, and she didn't know why she admitted her mistake if she was not wrong.

The Queen Mother frowned deeply, raised the corners of her lips and sneered, her face was full of Weihe, suppressed her anger and said slowly, "Kelan is the heart of the mourning family, you actually told the emperor to ask her to marry the old emperor of Huaguo!"

The Queen Mother's words made Qing Xihuan surprised, along with Qing Xihuan's fear and frightening of the Queen and Concubine Xian on one side, Concubine Xian hung her head and did not dare to look at the Queen Mother, who did not know the posture of the Queen Mother, gave poisoned wine, gave Bai Aya are pediatrics, I think that the Queen Mother actually embroidered the pattern on the whole body with embroidery thread, and finally the concubine died of pain, the Queen Mother dedicated the dead concubine to the first emperor, and the beautiful name is called the beauty, which means - flattery, so that the first emperor no longer dares to listen to the villain's slander, and also makes the harem concubines no longer dare to be spoiled.

"I'm afraid that your king of Pingdong has spoiled you and dared to provoke the people of the mourning family. The Queen Mother's eyes were tight, staring at Qing Xihuan.

Qing Xihuan was afraid and couldn't show his cowardice, but if he said it at this moment, wouldn't it be exposed, for the sake of protecting Dong Kelan, he couldn't say it now anyway.

"Back to the Queen Mother, this matter is not what the concubine thinks, the concubine just said that the lady is marrying the princess, and the concubine doesn't know the rest ......of the things."

"You don't know! Whose idea was that? Come on, say it. The Queen Mother closed her eyes.

The queen and concubine on the side couldn't be provoked, and they didn't dare to speak if they kept looking up and observing.

"It must be her idea, everyone knows that this Princess Zhao is sharp-toothed, since the Queen Mother said that you are, don't you admit it?" Jing Jieyu said with a roll of her eyes.

"Yes, otherwise who else would be so bold, this is not only to give up the love of the Queen Mother, but also to participate in national politics, little princess, really dare to act. Liu Meiren added oil and vinegar to the side, and confirmed Qing Xihuan's crime.

Shu Zhaoyi didn't speak on the side, after all, she didn't see it with her own eyes and couldn't be used as a witness to refute it, and speaking at this time further aggravated her crime of colluding with Qing Xihuan.

"Okay, since there is no one to say, drag Qing Xihuan down and give him ink punishment. The Queen Mother said lightly, and after reassuring the queen and Concubine Xian, there was still a hint of joy.

An ink punishment made the frightened people stunned again, whispering quietly and not daring to raise their heads, and their faces showed horror.

"Ink punishment, that's to tattoo words on the body, oh you Zhao Princess is still the first princess to have this 'honor'. Liu Meiren covered her mouth and snickered.

Everyone is constantly discussing, I don't know if this Qing Xihuan committed Tai Sui, why did he just offend the queen and be given a needle punishment, and offended the queen mother to give ink punishment.

"Queen Mother, there are really no concubines. Qing Xihuan frowned, even at this juncture, he still didn't say his plan.

"There is no basis for the words, go, come on, drag it down, and give Princess Zhao a full back of ink punishment. The Queen Mother shouted.

Qing Xihuan was stupid, I don't want the Queen Mother to be serious, although this ink punishment is not as painful as chopping hands and feet, but it is humiliating, a woman with the words 'criminal' on her back can't get rid of it, it's better to live than to die.

At this moment, Chen Jiayi on the side knelt down and bowed his head and said, "The Queen Mother is angry, the concubine can prove that Princess Zhao did not talk about the princess's marriage, but only asked Shu Zhaoyi to marry, and there are two princes in the hall to testify, and the Queen Mother is also asked to summon witnesses, in addition, the princess can also testify." ”

"Presumptuous! When the mourning family spoke, did you interject?" The Queen Mother completely ignored Chen Jiayi, but told Chen Jiayi to shut up, Chen Jiayi frowned, and had to lower her head.

Qing Xihuan only then understood, it seems that the Queen Mother has a heart......

"Come on, press down. The Queen Mother waved her hand and summoned the eunuch to stand behind Qing Xihuan.

Seeing this, Shu Zhaoyi and Su Meiren hurriedly bowed at the feet of the Queen Mother and begged bitterly.

"Queen Mother, the princess is still young, she can't be tortured like this, Queen Mother. ”

But no matter how the two pleaded, the Queen Mother sat idly by, and only ordered the little eunuch to take Qing Xihuan out, and it seemed that she was in a catastrophe.
