After Du Qinyue heard that Concubine Lin gave birth to a prince, she broke off the nails that had been left for a long time, and bright red blood appeared in her palms.

Xiu'er's lowered eyes saw this scene, but she remained silent, because she knew that if she opened her mouth at this moment, it would inevitably cause Du Qinyue's anger, so although she was worried, she only tightened the sleeves in her hands.

Du Qinyue sat motionless for a long time, and when Xiu'er couldn't help but open her mouth to persuade, Du Qinyue opened her mouth and ordered: "Xiu'er, you have someone to send a letter to the house, just say that your mother will go to the Moon Palace tomorrow afternoon." ”

"The slave maid will arrange it, but this matter has to be approved by the emperor, and I don't know when the mother plans to ask the emperor."

Although Xiu'er also knew that Shen Huo should not be mentioned now, if the rules of the palace were broken, it would have an impact on Du Qinyue after all, so this matter had to be mentioned.

Du Qinyue tapped her fingers on the table a few times, then slowly closed her eyes and said, "That's it, let the matter of letting people pass the message for a while, you go to the Qianqing Palace with the palace to see the emperor first." ”

All the way to the Qianqing Palace, it was very rare that Du Qinyue had never had a conversation with Xiu'er.

The eunuch at the gate of the Qianqing Palace recognized Du Qinyue from a distance, and without waiting for Du Qinyue to step forward, he asked people to go back and report to Shen Huo, Du Qinyue, who saw this scene, smiled slowly, yes, now the affairs in the harem are still taken care of by her, these people naturally dare not underestimate her, I am afraid that it is too late to catch up with flattery.

"Concubine Niangniang wait a moment, the servant has already asked someone to inform the emperor."

After Du Qinyue arrived at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, the eunuch at the gate said the words he had considered in his heart before Du Qinyue could speak.

"There is Father-in-law Lao."

In less than half a burnt of incense, the eunuch who had just gone in trotted out all the way out, and said: "Concubine Niangniang, please go in with the slave, the slave is slower under his feet, delaying the time of Concubine Niangniang, and please forgive Lady Niangniang." ”

"It's okay, there is Lao Gonggong who has run this trip."

Shen Huo was sitting in a pavilion playing with himself, and when he saw Du Qinyue coming, he motioned for her to sit opposite and finish the game first.

Du Qinyue looked at Bai Zi, who was closer to Shen Huo, raised her hand and picked up the black spot and gently landed on the chessboard.

Shen Huo didn't want to let the palace people on the side clean up the Qizi, so he put the white seeds in the chess box one by one, and Du Qinyue helped clean up the sunspots this time.

Shen Huo looked at the seat above the table in front of him where the chess game was placed and had been replaced with the newly put refreshments from the palace people, and asked, "What is the matter with Concubine Shu's visit to the Qianqing Palace this time?" ”

"There are some things I want to tell the emperor, but I was still a little impatient when I came, and now I have settled down after this chess game."

I don't know if what Du Qinyue said was to please Shen Huo or to be true, but obviously Shen Huo didn't want to delve into this issue, and said bluntly: "If Concubine Shu has something, just say it." ”

"The concubine hasn't seen her mother for a while, and she misses her a little in her heart, and she wants to ask the emperor for permission to let her mother go to Lanyue Palace tomorrow afternoon."

"If you let the people in the palace come for this matter, why bother to go this trip in person, it's already cold outside, what if you catch a cold?"

Listening to Shen Huo's somewhat worried words, Du Qinyue didn't know what kind of mood she should be, so she had to talk about the matter: "This matter is originally a family matter of the concubine, so it is more or less inappropriate for others to say it, and the weather is also a little warmer now, not like the cold winter wax moon." ”

Shen Huo also unknowingly compared with Du Qinyue, and said: "What is not like the cold winter moon, this Chinese New Year's Eve has just passed, but I don't know when Concubine Shu also learned the same way as others." ”

"The emperor smiled, but now the wax moon has indeed passed, isn't it?"

"Come on, I can't tell you what the hell, what you say, do you need me to send someone to pick up your mother from the General's Mansion tomorrow?"

Du Qinyue smiled again, and suddenly it coincided with the appearance when she first became Shen Huo's concubine, and she couldn't tell whether it was coquettish or something else in her tone.

"Where can such a trivial matter be used to bother the emperor, my mother will enter the palace by the carriage and horse in the house when the time comes."

Shen Huo was no longer reluctant when he heard Du Qinyue say this, and asked instead, "I don't know what Concubine Shu has been doing in Lanyue Palace all these days?" ”

Du Qinyue seemed to have expected Shen Huo to ask this question, and said unhurriedly: "Recently, I copied some Buddhist scriptures in the palace to pray for the queen mother, just waiting for the day when I have time to go to the temple." ”

"Concubine Shu has a heart, two days ago, I heard the queen mother say that it was a little boring to stay alone, if you are free, you can also go to see the queen mother."

Du Qinyue had long been eager to find an opportunity to make the Queen Mother have a good impression of her, but because Shen Huo deliberately ordered not to disturb the Queen Mother's tranquility a few days ago, she put her mind aside for the time being, and now when she heard Shen Huo say this, she naturally agreed without hesitation.

"Then the concubine went out of the Qianqing Palace and went to the Queen Mother's Palace, except for seeing the Queen Mother at the palace banquet yesterday, the concubine has not asked the Queen Mother for many days, and it is really a bit uncourteous."

Shen Huo was a little relieved in his words, and said: "The queen mother didn't care about these things of asking for peace or not, she was tired of staying in the harem for so many years, so I deliberately didn't allow others to disturb her tranquility, but I never thought that this would make the queen mother bored." ”

"The emperor is already out of good intentions, and I think that the queen mother will not blame the emperor in the future." Du Qinyue said very understandingly.

The two talked for a while, Du Qinyue saw that the time was not early, and said: "It seems that there is less than an hour left before dinner, and the concubine wants to go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye before dinner, and she can go back to Lanyue Palace at dinner." ”

Shen Huo had planned to have dinner with He Suoyi before, and was worried about what to do if Du Qinyue didn't leave when it was time for dinner? Unexpectedly, Du Qinyue took the lead to solve this problem for him, so he pushed the boat and said: "You go first, and later I will let people go to the general's mansion to send a message to let your mother enter the palace tomorrow." ”

Du Qinyue bowed slightly to Shen Huo.

"Emperor Xie, the concubine will retire first."

I heard that when Du Qinyue was waiting at the palace gate, the Queen Mother was lazily leaning on the back of the chair, letting the grandmother behind her pinch her shoulders, and after listening to the words of the palace people, she opened her eyes a little reluctantly, and said, "Let her in." ”

"The concubine asks the queen mother to say goodbye."

As soon as Du Qinyue came in, she didn't go around a lot, but first saluted the Queen Mother respectfully, which made the Queen Mother have no reason even if she wanted to give Du Qinyue a horse.

"Get up."

Hearing the dislike in the Queen Mother's tone, Du Qinyue just stood there with her hands down after she stood up, and did not move, for fear that she would accidentally annoy the Queen Mother.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother didn't mean to embarrass Du Qinyue, but the kung fu of the tea made the people behind her give Du Qinyue a seat.

Du Qinyue didn't expect that the Queen Mother would not like her, so the wording prepared along the way is useless now, and after thinking for a long time, she can only stubbornly say: "The Queen Mother, the concubine has copied a lot of Buddhist scriptures these days, I don't know when you are free, how about the concubine accompany you to the temple?" ”

The Queen Mother raised her eyelids and didn't have the idea of speaking, and the grandmother on the side saw that Du Qinyue was a little embarrassed, and opened her mouth to relieve her.

"If the lady concubine is really careful, wait a little longer, you also know the weather recently, if the queen mother goes out and gets cold, the emperor will be worried again."

Du Qinyue saw that this grandmother was relieving herself, and she couldn't refute her face, so she had to nod and say, "It's the concubine who is not thoughtful, and please don't blame the concubine." ”

At this moment, the Queen Mother finally opened her mouth, and said in a tone that was not light or serious: "You yourself know that you are not thoughtful, so why can't the mourning family blame you?" ”

Before the words fell, Du Qinyue was already panicked, where did she dare to continue to sit in the seat, and hurriedly got up and squatted half-squatting, and said: "It's the concubine's fault, and I also ask the queen mother to punish the concubine heavily, so that the concubine can have a long memory from now on, and will not offend the queen mother in the future." ”

"Oh? It turns out that in your eyes, the mourning family is such a person who does not know right from wrong and arbitrarily punishes others? ”

Listening to the Queen Mother's slightly upward tone, Du Qinyue was really a little unsure of her temperament, and after hesitating for a while, she said with some tentativeness: "Then I don't know what the Queen Mother's decision is, can you say that the concubine listens to it, the concubine is stupid, and she can't understand the meaning of the Queen Mother." ”

Just when Du Qinyue's heart was up and down, the Queen Mother suddenly laughed and said: "I'm afraid that your child is frightened by the mourning family today, no one has come to talk to the mourning family for a long time, and the mourning family has been teasing you for a while, don't be surprised." ”

At this time, Du Qinyue's back was already covered with cold sweat, and after hearing the Queen Mother's words, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, where is there anything strange and not strange.

"It is the honor of the concubine to relieve the boredom of the Queen Mother, and if the concubine has time in the future, she will often come to accompany the Queen Mother."

After the queen mother lost the majesty that she had just pretended, she still had a soft aura around her whole body, and asked: "Why did you suddenly remember to come to the mourning palace today?" ”

Du Qinyue naturally didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, and said truthfully: "The concubine misses her mother a little, so she went to the Qianqing Palace just now to ask the emperor to let her mother enter the palace tomorrow to meet the concubine. ”

"The emperor has a heart, in fact, the old woman of the mourning family has nothing to accompany her, but it is still a little boring to stay in this palace for a long time, now look at you young children, one by one looks like flowers and jade, it is really pleasing to the eye."

Du Qinyue went through what happened, and for a while, she couldn't tell whether the Queen Mother was joking or chatting heartily at this time.
