When Oriyanagi said the news, it was in the middle of the afternoon.

A little palace maid in the dining room came to ask Zheliu if there was any conflict in Jiang Ning recently.

The palace maid used to come to the cold palace to listen to Jiang Ning's storytelling, and she had a close relationship with the cold palace, so she came to ask this sentence out of concern for Jiang Ning.

The two of them nested in the corner, and you talked about the recent gossip in the palace from the contradiction between Jiang Ning and Mu Jingzhao all the way.

Jiang Ning was originally just pruning the branches of a fruit tree in the corner of the wall where the two of them were, the fruit tree was found on the first day she returned to the palace, and now it has risen to the height of the calf for several months, probably one day the people in the cold palace casually dropped a fruit core on the ground, and the fruit core grew up while no one was secretly budding.

Now that the climate is getting colder day by day, Jiang Ning is afraid that the little sapling will be affected by frost, so he took scissors to prune the branches and leaves, hoping that it can survive this cold winter.

The fruit tree was still delicate, Jiang Ning couldn't see what kind of fruit it was, but he still wanted to keep it well, and if he was lucky, he might be able to eat the fruit it produced.

During the pruning process, I accidentally heard the conversation between the willow and another small palace maid outside the wall.

She was originally a gossip person, and when she heard the other party talking about her own affairs, her curiosity was even worse, and she hurriedly found a suitable place to listen attentively.

Then, she heard that.

It was the scissors in Jiang Ning's hand that slipped down instantly, and fell to the ground with a crisp sound of "clang", and the snowball who was originally grooming her hair beside her was so frightened that she let out an exclamation, and the white hair exploded and escaped in an instant.

Jiang Ning froze in place.

Her mind went blank, as if there were a lot of things pouring in, and as if there was nothing, her eyes were open, as if she couldn't feel anything.

Outside the wall, the willow heard the scream of a snowball and hurriedly ran into the courtyard to see what was happening.

Seeing Jiang Ning on the side, she breathed a sigh of relief and said crisply, "Niangniang, you are here, I heard a snowball scream, and I thought something had happened, just be fine." ”

Jiang Ning was still wooden, did not answer, and did not seem to hear the sound of folding willows at all.

Seeing that Jiang Ning did not react, Zheliu was confused, and then looked at the scissors and wooden eyes that Jiang Ning had landed on his hand, and he was vaguely uneasy in his heart.

"Mother?" She slowly took a few steps closer to Jiang Ning, and looked sideways at Jiang Ning beside her, but saw that she still didn't react.

Zheliu raised his head and looked at the palace wall beside Jiang Ning, as if he understood something, and his eyes widened instantly.

"!"

Jiang Ning's thoughts were chaotic, she thought of a lot of things, she was thrown out of the cave room by Mu Jingzhao when she just entered the palace, she fell from the roof to him, and the two of them spent night after night with each other in a-for-tat and tight hug.

He swore that he would give himself an explanation, and he accompanied him to bid farewell to Pei Yuhou's lost and regained hug, and his back retreated after being misunderstood and scolded.

How did all this come to be the way it is today?

Jiang Ning felt that he had some difficulty breathing.

She had heard a lot of news about the emperor's never visiting concubines, and she was used to Mu Jingzhao's day and day in her palace, and she was used to running to her as soon as something happened.

All of this gave her the illusion that she shouldn't have belonged.

She thought that she and Mu Jingzhao should belong to each other, and she thought that this imperial city was her home where she could settle down, so she chose to say goodbye to Pei Yu, left her hometown, and returned here.

Although she also complained and hated, she also clearly knew that all this was not Mu Jingzhao's fault, he had done enough for himself.

But now, how did it become like this?

Has he changed, or is everything that used to be his own wishful thinking?

Beside Jiang Ning, Zheliu was still patiently persuading, "Niangniang, don't take this kind of thing to heart." ”

She said, and reached out and patted Jiang Ning's face gently, "The queen is a wife after all, and it is normal for a husband and wife to be a husband and wife, you think, if the emperor really loves her, it will not be premature, and it will not be delayed today, right, so the emperor cares about you the most." ”

Seeing that Zheliu's speech speed was getting slower and slower, until later, there was gradually a tendency to be unable to make up, Jiang Ning's body trembled violently and came back to his senses.

It's not that she figured it out, but that she recognized a somewhat terrifying reality from Oriyanagi's words.

That is, the queen is Mu Jingzhao's wife.

And in terms of status, she is just a concubine, and she is a concubine who has been beaten into the cold palace, and she is not qualified to gamble with the queen at all.

Jiang Ning didn't speak, turned around and entered the room, and never spoke again.

Under the fruit tree sapling, the cut leaves were scattered all over the ground, like a broken heart.

The news of the queen's pregnancy instantly spread all over the harem, and for a while, the palace was full of joy, and everyone who came to congratulate them had to crush the threshold of the Shen Mansion of Changle Palace.

This is Mu Jingzhao's first child, and he is a concubine, if nothing else, he will be the prince.

Originally, the strength of Liu, Shen, and Jiang in the court was divided, and although Jiang Qingyuan had the highest official position, because of his upright personality, he had few friends in the court, and it was difficult to help. Liu Yue has a heavy army, but his arrogant personality is not easy to get along with. is the only one who is Shen Tong, although his position is not high, but fortunately, he has a smooth and thoughtful temperament, and he gave birth to a good daughter who can be the queen, which can barely be compared with the other two.

And now, Shen Qingrong is pregnant with the emperor's eldest son, and her status has risen in an instant, and even her mother's family has given birth to a bit of glory.

You must know that there are three mothers in the harem, although Liu Jinfu can be called a national color, but it is a pity that she is disabled, and her identity is sensitive, and the emperor can give her a place in the harem, which is already an extra grace, not to mention what kind of climate.

As for the other one, he is now in the cold palace, and it is not worth mentioning.

As long as Shen Qingrong is in the back position for one day, she can ensure the glory and wealth of the Shen family for one day.

As a result, almost everyone believes that in the future, whether it is the harem or the previous dynasty, the Shen family must be the dominant and unshakable.

The ministers of the court and the central government are extremely shrewd and sophisticated, and it can be said that they can do this kind of thing easily when they see the wind and make the rudder, and soon, the forces in the court and the central government have gradually formed a trend of Shen Yi's dominance.

The former dynasty of this harem is the Shen family.

Not only the people of the world think so, but even Shen Tong thinks so.

He gradually lost himself in this overwhelming flattery and flattery, and he also felt that he was one rank higher than the courtiers.

In just two months, he built a mansion in a prosperous area of the city, and the prosperity of his mansion was breathtaking, close to the harem.

For this reason, he also violently demolished the residences and shops of hundreds of people in the city, which was called a congratulatory gift to the emperor's eldest son.

In this regard, the people complained and suffered unspeakably.

And Mu Jingzhao, as the emperor, turned a blind eye. (End of chapter)
