It is the season of brilliant yellow flowers, and the autumn wind has not destroyed the valley plain.

In the palace, it is even more golden laurel, warm and charming.

Pick up the osmanthus slightly to dry, add honey wine, after the afternoon break, when chatting, holding a fragrant drink, or talking about chess, or watching singing and dancing, it is very pleasant.

Even if it is in the Jinhua Palace, two unfavored concubines, spending time like this, the unwillingness and sorrow, unconsciously become much lighter.

Unless the wind rolls the leaves fall, and the lonely goose flies south, the melancholy is triggered again.

Xie Meiren sighed for a long time, put a white child in her hand, absentmindedly placed between the vertical and horizontal, the shaved and short, and painted into a pair of thick black eyebrows, the phoenix is charming - she has been to the palace of the Queen Mother, and she knows that she hates the elegant makeup nowadays, so she has always insisted on wearing heavy makeup.

"Don't say that in this harem, even if it is the whole world, there is only the queen, which is really enviable." She said, and raised her eyes to see Concubine De's expression: "The Queen Mother finally helped Duan Jieyu to be favored, I thought that the queen's favor was no longer there, and I could understand the sadness in the hearts of our people, and the feelings of sympathy for the same disease would take the initiative to persuade the saint to give rain and dew in the future, who knows, the queen can save the grace so quickly, look at Duan Jieyu, for most of the year, she has also been snubbed by the saint, and the time has changed, and the harem seems to have changed at all." ”

Concubine De was really stimulated, and threw away the sunspot, and the chess game that did not score the winner could not be carried out at all.

"It's also to blame the Queen Mother for being soft-hearted, such as when she was in the old days, it was a wonderful step to instruct Shen Wuzhuo to ask for advice, how could she stop because Shen Wuxu was exiled? Without Shen Wuxuan, Feng Jizheng, and Du Yanzhi, there are always loyal and upright people in the court, how can they watch the queen fox charming! ”

"It's that simple." Xie Meiren sighed again: "Shen Wuxuan's father and daughter are a lesson from the past, who would dare to take on the crime of spying on the palace?" Besides, the foreign ministers, there is indeed no position to ask the saint to favor a certain concubine, even the emperor, although sometimes he will give the palace people to the courtiers and nobles, where have you ever heard of such a ridiculous thing as forcing the courtiers to have the pleasure of the bed? ”

"Then what about the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is the mother of the Son of Heaven, and she always has the right to preside over justice, so that the rain and dew in the Heavenly Family will be stained."

"Then the Holy One must be able to listen to it." Xie Meiren lowered her voice: "The concubine listened to Mrs. Huayang's confession, Qi Zhaoyi and the queen offended the queen mother one after another, the Son of Heaven witnessed it, not only did not reprimand, but spoke out to defend it, the queen is unfilial, this is a big crime, but it is a pity that there is the support of the saint, even if someone questions it, a sentence slanders the middle palace, I am afraid that I will be punished!" ”

is about to instigate Concubine De, and now the only one who can compete with the close ministers of the descendants is the Duke of Yanguo, if Concubine De's brother comes forward to impeach the queen for being unfilial, and advises the Son of Heaven to follow filial piety, it will be effective.

I suddenly heard about the female history of Penglai Palace, and was ordered to summon Concubine De to see her.

Xie Meiren had no choice but to dispel her thoughts for the time being, and smiled slightly: "Yo, the sun is rising today, isn't it rising in the west?" Why did the queen suddenly think of Sister Defei? ”

Qin Ji was even more resentful, because over the years, seeing that the queen's momentum was stronger, but she was becoming more and more hopeless, her resentment in her heart was accumulating, and her anxiety was like a boiling pot, and she didn't dare to fall into any tricks, which attracted the queen to chase and beat hard, endure hatred and hardship, and her mind became more and more distorted.

"The female history has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, but I really don't know, the queen treats us old people in the hidden mansion to prevent alienation, how could she suddenly invite you to meet today."

This is really not like words, but the female history of Penglai Hall has always followed the rules, even if she belongs to the Middle Palace, she will not trespass the lesson of the concubine, and responded: "The queen invited Concubine De to see her, but she did not explain the reason to the lowly position, and asked the concubine for forgiveness, and the lowly position was unable to answer the question." ”

"Then you won't ask clearly, and then talk back?" Concubine De sneered.

I haven't heard of the queen summoning the concubines, and she must explain the reasons clearly! Even if the female history abides by the palace rules, she is inevitably annoyed at this time, and is about to hide a needle in the cotton to warn a few words, Xu Shu on the side saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly rounded the field: "Concubine De has recently been irritable due to autumn irritability, and often feels weak and unwell. ”

Only then did the female historian endure his anger and said: "I really don't know the details of the humble position, but earlier the eunuch Jiang was ordered by the Holy Lord to see His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness then ordered the humble post to summon Concubine De to go. ”

Xie Meiren in front of the Penglai Palace's maid Shi, of course, did not dare to continue to provoke Concubine De's anger, so she persuaded her: "I think there is something to tell Concubine De, and because of official business, I can't get out of it, so I let the queen tell me that although Concubine De is unwell, she has to go here." ”

She was very curious, she didn't know what Concubine De would encounter on this trip, she had the heart to go with her to see the excitement, but she was suffering from excuses, so she could only stay in Jinhua Hall and wait, waiting for Concubine De to come and ask what was going on.

Suddenly, he heard the palace maid beside Concubine De, and said with longing: "Isn't it Shengzhou's victory, the great meritorious service of Yanguo, and the great joy of the saint, and I want to canonize Concubine De as a concubine, right?" ”

Xie Meiren almost couldn't help but roll her eyes with disdain: Even if Yan Guo announced that he was successful, and the Son of Heaven rewarded him, so many children of the Qin clan were killing enemies in the territory, who would not be considered a favor if he rewarded him? Where can you remember Concubine De? This palace person, why don't they just be whimsical and boast that the Son of Heaven wants to canonize Concubine De as the queen?!

In fact, why doesn't the palace maid think so? Even Concubine Qin De is also whimsical, this is also because she has refused to raise Princess Chang'an since she failed to invite favor, and refused to raise Princess Chang'an, after being warned by the Son of Heaven, she has been very "well-behaved" for two years, and she is confident that she has not fallen into any tricks, and the queen has never found a chance to make things difficult for her again.

Thinking about it, it can only be when the eldest father recovers Shengzhou and conquers the Turks, and the Son of Heaven will suddenly think of her.

This is good, the position of the concubine is at your fingertips, the eldest father and the teacher return to the dynasty, and the elder brother Qin Ming can still cover the sky with one hand? The eldest father has always loved her daughter and grandson the most, and he will not tolerate the oppression of the queen everywhere, even the Son of Heaven, and look at the merits of the eldest father, he will not dare to protect the queen anymore, because if the Son of Heaven is really greedy for good women, and treats the heroes lightly, it will inevitably lead to the discussion of the government and the public, and then the queen will become the target of the public, and it may lead to the abolition of the queen!

Thinking of this, Qin Ji was suddenly excited, so much so that his eyes lit up.

When she entered the Penglai Palace, when she saw the queen's expression of wanting to speak and stop and being clear and depressed, Qin Ji was even more excited, she only felt that the victory was in her hands, and her posture was not so presumptuous and arrogant.

But listen to a sentence: "Please come here today, there is a good news first, Shengzhou victory, Yan Guogong for my big Zhou, really set up a swaying honor, it is really more virtuous and diligent, and the merit is in history." ”

And so it was!

Qin Ji only felt a rush of blood rushing to the heavenly spirit, trembling with joy, almost couldn't help shouting "The sky has eyes", took three deep breaths, and barely suppressed this ecstasy, and entertained a few modest words such as "God bless China" and "Holy merit", in the end, he couldn't hold back his eyebrows, looked directly at the queen, ready to see how helpless she was, announcing the Son of Heaven's grace to herself.

The queen was indeed a little hesitant, frowning, no matter how she looked at it, it didn't look like joy and joy.

"But Concubine De, the battle of Shengzhou was very difficult, although she won the victory, she ...... Your two uncles died in front of the battle, and even ...... Ling Zun ...... was also seriously injured and sacrificed his life for the country...... Before the war, Yan Guogong was already ill, and when he heard that many of his sons and nephews had died, he was grief-stricken and ...... When the saint heard that the father and son of Yanguo had died, he was also heartbroken, and he also hoped for Concubine De, and he would mourn and change in ten thousand ways, and do not mourn too much. ”

Eleven Niang didn't feel the schadenfreude at all - not to mention that many members of the Great Zhou Dynasty were about to die in battle, and even the Duke of Yan Guo died, which is like a loss to the monarchy, just human affection......

She didn't like Qin Ji, and even hated it for a while because of her calculations, but it hasn't changed until now, but she can't help but sigh with sympathy, she has experienced the grief of the sudden death of her relatives, Concubine De heard that her father and ancestors died in one day, Eleven Niang knows this kind of grief and despair too well, no matter how much grudge, she can't bear to give Qin Ji a heavy blow at this time.

But He Ye didn't want to see Qin Ji, and he really couldn't spare time to see her, so he could only explain to Shi Niang, the master of the middle palace, convey the bad news, and try his best to comfort her.

However, the relationship between Eleven Niang and Qin Ji is really not able to communicate in a simple way, except for the mourning and change, I really don't know what to say.

She thought earlier that Mrs. Yan Guo was old, and when she heard the pain of her master's death, she was afraid that she would not be able to bear such a sudden and huge blow, and she should comfort Qin Ji, allow her to return to Ning, and appease her grandmother.

was considering his words, but he saw Qin Ji getting up angrily: "The Yanguo Mansion is a door, the father and ancestor of a certain person, for many years, he has fought on the battlefield for the safety of the monarchy, and the saint can't just use a heartache to explain the past!" I want to go to the Zichen Palace, I want to see the saint, to ask the saint why he treats the hero so poorly, on Xue Xuanzhi, how he has killed the enemy's head, how has he been saddled by the saddle, due to illness, the saint is willing to posthumously seal the position of the Taishi, give Wenzhen, and his son can also be sealed, my Qin family is a meritorious service, how can it be comparable to Wenchen? The Holy One must not treat the Generals so lightly! ”

This time Chang Shi Niang was stunned, because she really didn't expect that Qin Ji's first reaction after hearing the bad news and funeral news was to invite credit? !

She can let it go, and let Qin Ji go to Zichen Hall to bring humiliation on herself, but thinking of the father and son of Yan Guogong who was shrouded in horse leather, the Qin family has been a son for generations, and she does not hesitate to be born and die for the sake of the safety of the monarch and society, and she is brave and loyal, even if it is only because of this loyalty, she should stop Qin Ji and humiliate the door for this.

The queen who came back to her senses immediately ordered: "Stop Concubine De!" ”

The two maids of Taro and Roujie moved when they heard the order, but Qin Ji only felt that the dawn in sight was extinguished again, and the grief-stricken mood made her lose her mind, and she waved her arm and waved it at the face of the blocker.

Even if Qin Ji was born in the gate, the palace people in Penglai Hall were not ordinary people who were powerless, but Roujie still gritted her teeth and slapped Concubine De before she subdued her.

Qin Ji couldn't break free, the fire of resentment burned through her pupils, and she stared at Eleven Niang fiercely: "Liu, you can't die well!" ”
