Chapter 21: The Secret in the Bracelet

Empress Dowager Zhou smiled deliberately and said, "But you don't look good when you wear it, or Concubine Yan's complexion is more in line with this bracelet." ”

didn't want to offend Princess Yongjia because of a bracelet, Yan Qingyu immediately took the initiative to flatter: "The princess looks very good when she wears it!" ”

Empress Dowager Zhou glanced at Yan Qingyu and said, "If you give it to Jiajia, isn't it that the things you sent out have been taken back?" ”

A little unhappy, Yue Ling could only say aggrievedly: "Okay, Erchen will change it to Sister Yan when he goes back." ”

Yan Qingyu hurriedly said: "No, no, the princess likes it is the blessing of this bracelet, the concubine and the princess are free to befriend, a bracelet is not a big deal." ”

Empress Dowager Zhou's face darkened, but she couldn't say anything more, so she could only find a chance to get the bracelet back, she couldn't let her daughter bring the bracelet.

"The queen mother should have nothing to order, and the son will retire first." Yue Ling didn't wait for Empress Dowager Zhou to answer, and left angrily.

Seeing this, Yan Qingyu was very worried, so he asked the Queen Mother for guilt: "The concubine went to see the princess, and she also retired first, please forgive the Queen Mother." ”

waved her hand to signal Yan Qingyu to retreat, and Empress Dowager Zhou covered her head with a slight headache: Jiajia seemed to be a little rebellious, and she actually lost her temper.

Zhou Yun'er hated Princess Yongjia, and at this time, she didn't forget to say irresponsible things in front of the Queen Mother: "Auntie, Jiajia's temperament is so bad, I have to find a good husband to take care of it." ”

Zhou Ping'er was silent on the side, as if everything had nothing to do with her.

"What Yun'er said is not unreasonable, it's just that Jiajia is still young, and the mourning family wants to keep her for a few more years."

Zhou Yun'er was unwilling, and continued: "The eldest brother is not young now, and he is a good match for Jiajia, so it is better for my aunt to marry Jiajia to the Zhou family, so that you don't have to worry about someone bullying Jiajia." ”

It's not that the Empress Dowager Zhou hasn't considered this problem, and Zhou Zhenshan also mentioned it before, since Yun'er is not favored and can't help the Zhou family, it is better to let the Zhou family have a princess, and with the relationship between the princess, the emperor can also trust the Zhou family more.

But she was afraid of Xiao Junyan's preference for Yongjia's younger sister, and did not mention it to Xiao Junyan, and now seeing that Zhou Yuner helped her regain her favor, she would not seize the opportunity, and Empress Dowager Zhou's mind was also lively.

But for Zhou Yun'er, the Empress Dowager Zhou, who is an aunt, still has some education, even if she offended Xiao Junyan again, the Empress Dowager Zhou still did not give up on her: "And you, let the mourning family worry all day long." ”

didn't know how to lead the fire to herself, Zhou Yun'er immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Auntie, Yun'er knows that she is wrong."

"What did you do wrong this time?"

"Yun'er ......" was ashamed to speak, Zhou Yun'er couldn't say that she was not bold enough, and she could only stop under Xiao Junyan's extension.

The matter of the Heart Cultivation Hall soon spread, and naturally it couldn't escape the ears of the Empress Dowager Zhou, and the rumors spread like this, Xiao Junyan was afraid that he would not be able to get out of it.

Thinking of her son's indifference to Zhou Yun'er, Empress Dowager Zhou was very worried, and looking at the two nieces standing in front of her, she was even more worried.

"You are too anxious, you shouldn't have gone to the Heart Cultivation Hall last night, the Mourning Family's cultivation of you in the past three months has been in vain." is not angry, Empress Dowager Zhou's perfect plan, and after three months of hard work, Zhou Yuner's pig brain was in vain.

"Auntie! Yun'er knows her mistake, please help Yun'er. Zhou Yuner was afraid that the Queen Mother would no longer help her, so she kowtowed again and again to admit her mistakes.

"You can go back to Ganquan Palace for the time being, and think about it behind closed doors! Calm down! Empress Dowager Zhou was very ironclad, and then her eyes fell on Zhou Ping'er.

"Ping'er, do you know why your aunt kept you in the palace all the time?"

Zhou Ping'er was reluctant to get involved in the palace fight, she longed for freedom outside the palace more, so she could only pretend to be confused in front of the Queen Mother: "My aunt is kind and distressed, and I feel sorry for my niece, Ping'er is grateful." ”

"You ......" Empress Dowager Zhou was helpless, "You sisters, it would be nice if you changed your mind." ”

Zhou Ping'er looked at the Queen Mother quietly: "Didn't my aunt promise Ping'er that as long as I help my sister regain her favor, she will let her go home?" ”

"Ping'er, as the daughter of the Zhou family, don't you think about the Zhou family?" Empress Dowager Zhou spoke bitterly, and just wanted to turn Zhou Ping'er's mind around.

"If my father and brother are capable, they should be the shelter of the women and children of the Zhou family, and I am a weak woman, and I can't change anything about the Zhou family."

Zhou Yun'er listened to the conversation between her sister and aunt on the side, and she didn't dare to interject on her face, but she was already worried that her status would not be guaranteed. Everyone knows that Zhou Ping'er is the original queen candidate, if Zhou Ping'er is willing to enter the palace, then what is she Zhou Yun'er?

She will never give up the position of queen, even if it is her own sister. Since the Queen Mother doesn't plan to help her, then she will find a way to get the holy favor herself, as long as she is pregnant with the dragon seed and gives birth to the imperial heir, her cousin will definitely cherish her.

The queen mother persuaded Zhou Ping'er for a long time, but the girl's family had a firm idea and swore to die to refuse to enter the palace to serve Xiao Junyan.

"Auntie, Ping'er has nothing more to think about the royal brother!"

Empress Dowager Zhou raised her forehead: "But the mourning family wants you to have some thoughts about the emperor!" You childhood sweethearts, aren't you a good match? ”

Zhou Ping'er was in tears: "Auntie, Ping'er doesn't want to!" ”

Seeing that she couldn't convince the Empress Dowager Zhou, Zhou Ping'er could only cry with her eyes in her eyes, waiting for the shackles of fate to come up.

"That's it, you all go down first! The mourning family should be quiet. "Empress Dowager Zhou wants to support Zhou Ping'er, and she also believes that as long as Zhou Ping'er is willing, even the position of queen will be deserved.

One of the sisters couldn't take it, and the other didn't let it, and the Empress Dowager Zhou was very nerve-wracking.

This Yue Ling rushed out of Shoukang Palace not far away, and was caught up by Yan Qingyu.

"Princess! Wait for me! ”

Yue Ling slowed down, waiting for Yan Qingyu to follow her: "What are you doing here?" ”

"I'm worried about the princess, don't be angry, it's just a bracelet, you can take whatever you like, our friendship ......"

Before Yan Qingyu finished speaking, Yue Ling suddenly took off the bracelet on his wrist and fell heavily to the ground: "Broken bracelets, who is rare." ”

After speaking, the little princess pushed Yan Qingyu away and ran away with red eyes.

Looking at the bracelet that was broken into several pieces, Yan Qingyu was stunned in place, she was still the palace maid beside her, and when she saw that something was wrong, she hurriedly wrapped the broken things on the ground and wrapped them in a handkerchief.

"Niangniang, this bracelet ......" The little palace maid also looked around smartly, but fortunately, there were no palace maids nearby, and no one paid attention to the movement here.

Yan Qingyu couldn't believe it, and the whole person trembled.

The palace maid was promoted to Yan Qingyu's side after Qingluan's accidental death, called Red Sleeves, Red Sleeves loyal guard, for fear that Yan Qingyu's appearance would be looked down upon by someone with a heart, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help Yan Qingyu to leave.

As soon as the two returned to Yanxi Palace, they went straight into the inner hall and closed the door.

After making sure that no one was paying attention, Redsleeves took the bracelet out of the handkerchief.
