"How dare the concubine show off in front of the mother, the painting that can be sent to the Fengxuan Palace must be genuine, the concubine remembers the painting of the master of Jibai, there is a combination of virtual and real, delicate and realistic, the characteristics of light and elegant color, and the master of Jibai is especially good at painting pine bamboo and landscapes, the concubine looks at it, this painting should be genuine."

Xu Liangyuan replied in a low voice after taking a serious look.

The queen hooked her lips, "That's good, sit down, the West Lake Longjing soaked in this palace today is good, you can taste it." ”

"Thank you, mother." Xu Liangyuan took a sip, "It's indeed a good tea, but the concubine doesn't know, the mother called the concubine today, what is the matter, it shouldn't be as simple as appreciating the painting." ”

Xu Liangyuan no longer has scheming, and he can feel that something is not right.

said that she was here to appreciate the painting, but as soon as she finished reading the painting, the painting was put away by the palace maid, and the queen only asked a sentence related to the painting, and turned her head and talked about tea, which shows that she didn't really call her to appreciate the painting.

Sure enough, the queen listened to her words, and the corners of her lips were still gently hooked.

"This palace called you, it is true that there are some other things to say, but before that, I want to know why you went to find Concubine Zhao just now?"

Hearing this, Xu Liangyuan's heart tightened, didn't the queen want to help her, but to ask for guilt?

Thinking so in her heart, Xu Liangyuan suddenly became a little nervous, and her tone was a little hesitant.

"The queen's mother, the concubine and the concubine"

"Don't worry, this palace is not here to ask the master to ask for guilt, this palace has already guessed what you are asking for Concubine Zhao, she can't help you, this palace can."

On the main seat, the queen's tone was not hurried, and the words clearly fell into Xu Liangyuan's ears.

Xu Liangyuan was very surprised for a while, but after the accident, she was happy.

"Queen Mother, do you believe that Sister Lan is wronged"

"Don't mention the lily porridge again." The queen interrupted her, and Zhengse said, "No matter what you think in your heart, this case has been decided, don't continue to talk about it, otherwise even if this palace turns a blind eye, some people will say that you question the emperor's decision, which is not good for anyone." ”

Xu Liangyuan's face changed slightly, and she immediately bowed her head, "Yes, the concubine lost her words." ”

"Okay, this palace is not to reprimand you, but to remind you not to drill the horns and make mistakes."

"This time, whether it is the emperor or the palace, they can also detect a little strangeness, but firstly, Lan Liangyuan has made a mistake, and the emperor has already opened the net if he does not pursue it, and secondly, the evidence taken out by Concubine Wan is indeed so that she cannot refute it, so this matter can only be done by the palace maid named Chaoxia, a crime of lax control, which is better than the crime of instructing a slave to murder a high-ranking concubine."

The queen's voice softened slightly, and she reasoned with her.

Xu Liangyuan nodded, "The concubine knows, thank you for the queen's mention." ”

"Then do you know why Hongu wants to help you?" The queen asked.

This time, Xu Liangyuan shook her head.

The queen said, "Because in the harem, Zhao Guifei is favored and favored, and the emperor's favor has always been easy to have accidents, although Zhao Guifei has always been sensible and obedient, but the palace is afraid that even if she is sensible, but the emperor is too affectionate and messes up the emperor's heart, so the palace hopes that someone can always persuade the emperor to be around, you are from a clear family, pure and kind-hearted, and the palace thinks you are very good." ”

"Niangniang, do you want your concubine to compete with Concubine Zhao?" Xu Liangyuan raised her eyes and bit her lip, "The concubine is stupid, and I ask my mother for advice." ”

The queen took a sip of tea, "This palace and the emperor have always respected each other, there is nothing to guide you, if you have to say, then this palace hopes that you can maintain your current heart, don't be affected by others." ”

"The concubine doesn't understand very much, and asks the queen to say it clearly." Xu Liangyuan frowned.

"The emperor treats you better than Lan Liangyuan, one is because your father has to use it now, and the other is because you are honest and pure in nature." The queen put down the teacup, "You only need to be more attentive and meticulous to the emperor now, and you will naturally become more and more favored." ”

Xu Liangyuan seemed to understand, thought about it, and asked again, "That Zhao Guifei."

"What the hell is she doing?" The queen smiled, and then said in a deep voice, "This palace wants you to compete for favor, not to hurt people, but I just hope that you can take more of the emperor's attention and make Concubine Zhao's influence weaker, the emperor is very disgusted with harem women scheming and murdering each other, you must not be contaminated." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Liangyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

The queen asked her to harm people or something, and she really couldn't do it.

So he immediately nodded, "The concubine understands what Niangniang means, and the concubine will work hard!" ”

"Go ahead, Hongu will naturally help you."

Xu Liangyuan bowed and left Fengxuan Palace with the maidservant.

Of course, the queen also rewarded her with a pair of calligraphy and paintings, after all, she said that she was calling someone to appreciate the paintings.

After Xu Liangyuan left, Min Sicai sighed.

"The slave really doesn't understand why Niangniang wants to choose Xu Liangyuan, Lan Liangyuan wants to be smarter."

"But the emperor won't like Lan Liangyuan, she is already a reflection of the emperor's heart that is too deep in the city." The queen narrowed her eyes.

Tian Mo was also puzzled, "Wouldn't that be better, the emperor won't really be tempted by Lan Liangyuan, even if she has a high position in the future, the mother will be easy to handle, Xu Liangyuan, the slave really doesn't think she can deal with Concubine Zhao." ”

"It seems that you still haven't listened to what this palace said, when did this palace say that Xu Liangyuan would deal with Concubine Zhao?" The queen asked.

The two maids remembered the conversation between the queen and Xu Liangyuan just now, and they both shook their heads slightly awkwardly, and then listened to the queen continue.

"Concubine Zhao has been favored for so many years, the emperor praised her the most is sensible and caring, gentle and kind and well-behaved, it can be seen that the emperor likes such a woman, Concubine Zhao may be pretending, but she is pretending to be good, the emperor and even the palace, for many years have not found a flaw, this is also her ability, such a good ability, few people can learn, so the palace can only choose people who fit these characteristics to divide the emperor's attention."

"Xu Liangyuan is pure and kind, and the rules and etiquette are comprehensive at the moment, except that she is not meticulous and intimate enough, she is very good, she has a lively personality, different from Concubine Zhao's temperament, she has her own characteristics, and she will not become an imitation of Concubine Zhao, the most important thing is that her hands are clean, there is no dirt and filth, the emperor does not resist, and her mother's family is now being used, and the emperor is paying attention to her."

In the end, the queen narrowed her eyes and said, "If this palace wants the ruthless person who does dirty things for this palace, this palace will support Lan Liangyuan as you said." ”

From the concubine of the high gate to the crown princess, and then to the mother of the middle palace, the queen has always been upright and arrogant.

will be jealous, will be vigilant, will ensure their safety and status, but will not take the initiative to harm others.

Rather than consolidating her position by getting rid of her opponents, the queen is more inclined to strengthen herself, which is similar to Fang Yu's thoughts.

But the difference is that the queen's starting point is already very high, her wings are too rich, and she will be afraid of the dictatorship of her relatives, especially Pei Yao is in the previous dynasty Xinghanmen, pressing the family, and it is very good that the Lu family can protect itself, so the queen does not dare now, and it is not suitable to take the path of Fang Yu's self-improvement.

But Fang Yu is different, the current situation is the right time for her to quickly plump her wings.

The queen was jealous, so she wanted to slow down Fang Yao's growth by distracting Pei Yao's favor, but she didn't want to get rid of her.

After all, if someone with a family background like Lan Liangyuan or Xu Liangyuan stood in Fang Yu's position now, she would have even more headaches.
