After a long time of see-sawing, Shangguan Zheng finally nodded and agreed to allow the vassal king to return to Beijing to celebrate the fiftieth birthday of the queen mother.

In this way, the queen mother was happy, and even wanted to take the opportunity to put up a shelf, and on the day of the Laba Festival, let everyone in the harem go to Cining Palace to drink porridge.

"I don't know what to toss." Lu Liu carefully supported Hengyue, and couldn't help but whisper, "I knew that I would talk to the emperor and say leave." ”

Hengyue was also helpless: "Concubine Zhao is pregnant a month earlier than me, I also have to go, where can I take leave again." ”

I don't want to have a good relationship with the Queen Mother, I just don't want to be this too conspicuous bird.

When he arrived at Cining Palace, Hengyue was stunned again.

I don't know what the Queen Mother thinks, such a cold weather actually made the concubines stand in the courtyard and drink porridge!

It's just a bowl of porridge, and you have to listen to the Queen Mother's words for the first half of the day, which are all expectations and hopes for the New Year.

Hengyue was bored listening to it, and she was tired of standing, and at the request of Green Willow, she pressed half of her body weight on the other party.

Concubine Zhao not far away was even more so, she was simply standing with two palace maids.

I thought I was coming to a small banquet, but who would have expected that I would be tortured.

“…… Why, the words of the mourning family, now you don't like to hear them. The Queen Mother drooped her eyelids, didn't look at the trembling people in front of her, and only said slowly, "In the past, the mourning family had a good temperament, otherwise, you would have to come to the mourning family every day to say goodbye, and if you stand today, what's wrong?" ”

"Yes, the Queen Mother is generous and charitable, why don't you all reward us with a stool?" The first to speak was Concubine Liang, she was a former old man and a prince, and she was the least afraid of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother glanced at her, and before she could say anything, she heard the Queen say softly: "Forget about the side, Concubine Zhao and Concubine Yue are still pregnant with children, and the Queen Mother will give a seat, right?" ”

"Moon concubine? By the way, the mourning family hasn't seen it yet. The Queen Mother changed the topic, "That is the concubine, do you have to go to the mourning family to invite you out before you are willing to meet?" ”

Hengyue was helpless, holding Lu Liu's hand and slowly walked to the front: "The concubine meets the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an." ”

"Huh? Your gift...... That's it. The Queen Mother rolled her eyes, "Born as a palace maid, it is inevitable that the etiquette is not good." ”

Lu Liu pursed her lips and didn't say anything, but Concubine Wen, who was standing beside her, smiled and said: "The Queen Mother is wrong to blame the concubine, the concubine is nearly eight months pregnant, and it is really difficult to salute." ”

"Hmph, I'm still restless when I'm pregnant, and the mourning family has never cared about harem affairs, and has listened to it. What's the matter, are you still hooking the emperor after you are pregnant? The Queen Mother squinted at Hengyue.

Hengyue listened to the Queen Mother's tone, and she didn't have much hostility towards herself, probably because she wanted to make an example of the concubines and concubines to understand her status.

And she, unfortunately, became this chicken.

Hengyue lowered her head and replied, "There are no concubines." ”

"Nothing? Didn't hook the emperor? Lift up your face and show the mourners your foxy—"

Before she finished speaking, when she saw Hengyue's face, the Queen Mother paused suddenly.

"The emperor has arrived!"

The voice that the concubines had been waiting for for a long time sounded at this time, and Shangguan Zheng strode in with a calm face.

When he saw Hengyue standing in the front, Shangguan Zheng paused, walked over without a trace, caged Hengyue behind him, and said to the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother is so excited today. ”

"Your Majesty...... He is a man who values love and righteousness. The Queen Mother changed her previous words, and suddenly such a sentence came out with a smile.

She said, "This time the vassal king returns to Beijing, the emperor ...... Is there someone you'd like to meet? ”

"It is human nature for the Queen Mother to miss King Feng, my son is still in the palace, and I don't have the same mind as the Queen Mother."

Shangguan Zheng said simply, and then said, "It's cold today, so please rest early." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and pretended to be impatient, "What are you still doing here?" A bowl of laba porridge, do you want to drink it like that? ”

"The concubine turned around and asked the dining room to be made and sent to the palaces." The queen answered.

She also stood enough, and the Queen Mother didn't know what to think about doing such a thing.

Shangguan Zheng nodded, and when he turned his head, he saw Hengyue, and paused before saying, "Go back quickly." ”

"Yes." Hengyue bent her knees slightly and replied softly.

Although the two don't have much intersection, on such an occasion, there are more words from the emperor, which is enough to attract attention.

When she returned to Weiyang Palace, Heng Yue sighed lightly, leaned back on the chair, and heard that Concubine Wen was coming.

She was about to get up, but Concubine Wen came before she arrived: "Sister is lying down, you don't have to get up, I'm just coming to see you, are you okay?" ”

"The concubine is fine, thank you sister for your concern." Hengyue lay there, and her belly became bigger and bigger.

Concubine Wen sat on the side and couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, the emperor came up in time...... Otherwise, where can my sister stand for a long time with a body like this? ”

Hengyue only smiled and didn't speak.

Concubine Wen pondered for a moment before she spoke: "What our queen mother said, my sister doesn't have to take it to heart. Just listen to it. ”

"Hmm." Hengyue knew that Concubine Wen was talking about the Queen Mother's unpleasant words, but she really didn't take it to heart.

The palace maid is favored, since the previous life, Hengyue has been accustomed to hearing all kinds of harsh words.

It's just that the Queen Mother really doesn't give face, and in front of so many people, she seems to want to say that she is a fox...... Hengyue really can't imagine that this would be a queen mother's words in public.

Concubine Wen comforted Hengyue a few more words, and saw that she really didn't seem to take it to heart, so she was relieved.

She smiled and said, "Sister, do you know, why am I here?" ”

Hengyue looked at her puzzled, didn't she come to persuade herself?

"It was the father-in-law next to the emperor who came to me to send me a message and let me visit my sister...... Sister, the emperor is very attentive to his sister. Concubine Wen said with a chuckle.

Hengyue was stunned, she really didn't expect it to be like this.

A hot current surged into her heart, Heng Yue blushed slightly, and turned sideways again, not daring to be seen by Concubine Wen.

Fortunately, Concubine Wen didn't pay attention, and only said: "Hey, the emperor came in a hurry today, I'm afraid I'm worried about my sister's body...... Oh, and Concubine Zhao, she has a month to give birth, right? It's dangerous. ”

Finally changed the topic, Heng Yue coughed lightly, and replied with a straight expression: "Yes, Sister Zhao Concubine has been eight months." ”

"Hey, what will the Queen Mother call in the future, let's think twice...... My sister said she was sick and didn't go out again, look at the cold ...... this day."

Concubine Wen spoke for a while before leaving, and as soon as she left, it snowed again in the sky.

Lu Liu lifted the curtain and came in, holding a bowl of steaming Laba porridge: "Master, the emperor specially asked the people in the imperial dining room to send the porridge, and the master got up and used some?" ”

"Okay."

Holding the hot porridge, Hengyue slowly smiled.

The heavy snow continued to fall for a day and a night before it stopped, and Shangguan Zheng never came to the harem, but he still often ordered people to visit Hengyue.
