The queen hurriedly got up and knelt down to plead guilty: "It's the concubine's dereliction of duty, because of the frequent mistakes in the management of the account book of Concubine Jing these days, the concubine was distracted and corrected the mistakes before she neglected the sixth elder brother for a while, but she didn't know that the people serving below were so unsatisfied, and the concubine would definitely be punished when she went back!" In my heart, I complained that Fenruo was nosy.

"Before the cooking is clean, the sixth elder brother will be raised by my side first." The emperor looked at the queen kneeling on the ground, his eyes were sharp and almost able to penetrate her, "Even if the sixth elder brother can't speak, he is also my son, so that the people below will firmly remember that the prince of the Qing Dynasty and the heir of Aixin Jueluo are not something they can bully!" ”

"Yes." The queen's heart trembled, knowing that the emperor was warning her, and her scalp suddenly tingled.

gave a mallet, and naturally gave a sweet date. The emperor eased his tone, and his voice was sleepy: "The queen is in good shape, since Concubine Jing is not careful in managing the account book, this item is still in your own hands." ”

The queen didn't dare to relax, and nodded nervously: "Yes." ”

Time passed day by day, An Lingrong's injuries were healed, but it was too cold in the New Year, she always didn't want to go out, and the queen who was beaten by the emperor didn't want to touch this moldy head, so she simply exempted An Lingrong from asking for peace every day.

On this morning, please be safe, and the nobles of Qi will come to serve the queen and put on makeup as usual.

"The emperor still values Concubine Rong very much, you have spoken in your brain on weekdays, don't say anything." The queen didn't have a good face at the beginning of the Qi nobles, but she still persuaded her softly, "Be cautious in your words and deeds, you have to keep it in mind, you look at yourself in the mirror, how beautiful you are, the emperor favors you, and there is hope for the concubines and concubines in the future, if the emperor doesn't favor you, you can only guard the position of the nobleman in the old death palace, which one you want, you choose." ”

Qi Guiren said curtly: "However, Concubine Rong doesn't like concubines......"

"In this palace, how can anyone really like you? It's just superficial. The queen secretly scolded a pig's brain, "Concubine Rong relies on her father's high merit, doesn't take you seriously, is too lazy to play with you, you just don't make friends with her." ”

"Yes, the concubine knows." Qi Guiren nodded. Recently, the emperor doesn't like to see her more and more, and the people who serve in front of her are not only concubines who are nobles, but she can't even drink the soup, and she thinks that someone said bad things about her in front of the emperor, but she didn't expect that it was because she said that she was not a concubine, and the emperor hated her.

Seeing that the nobles of Qi had some reflection, the queen didn't say more, but asked about another more important thing: "On your Ama's side, have you told the emperor about the fault of the concubine's father?" ”

"Yes, yesterday Ne just told the concubine, and the concubine asked someone to inform Amma." Qi Guiren smiled confidently.

The queen nodded, and then sighed again: "Concubine Wan was named a concubine at a young age, if she didn't make plans early, I am afraid that she would become a big trouble in the future." Seeing that the draft is about to be drafted, there is no simple newcomer to the palace next year, if the concubine is not removed, when the time comes, the palace will be a wolf in front of the tiger and a tiger in the back, a dilemma. ”

Qi Guiren patted his ass and said: "Niangniang, you are the queen, depending on who she is, you have to bow your head and bow when you see Niangniang." ”

The queen smiled absently, holding her hand and walking outside the hall, the hour was still early, everyone had not yet come, only Zhen Huan and Fang Chunyi came early, and were sitting in the hall eating tea.

Fang Chunyi didn't see the queen come out, and was still frolicking with Zhen Huan: "Guanguan, Guanguan, the emperor called his sister really affectionately!" It was my fault that I went to the Heart Cultivation Hall early this morning to wait for my sister, but I encountered this scene. ”

The love words between the beds were announced, Zhen Huan couldn't help blushing, and hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth: "Chun'er, it's getting more and more out of order, when the queen mother comes out and hears it, she will definitely say that you have no mouth to cover." ”

"No, the queen loves me the most." Fang Chunyi still teased, "Sister, why don't I call you like this in the future?" Sister Guanguan, it sounds very good! ”

"Chun'er!" Zhen Huan was in a hurry, and she stretched out her hand to hit her.

The two made a mess.

The queen stood behind the curtain, listening to the familiar name, she was in a trance for a while, she muttered and repeated it twice, and suddenly laughed twice, with a cold killing intent in the laughter, so that the Qi nobles on the side couldn't help but tremble when they heard it, she looked up at the queen, but saw that she still had that bodhisattva-like smile on her face, and thought it was her own illusion.

"Say what? So happy. The queen walked out slowly and sat down with a smile, "It's hard for you to come early in this cold day." After a pause, he said, "The canonization ceremony is close at hand, the canonization ceremony of the noble concubine is simple, you have to wait, the dress when you canonize the palace feels that there is still a little inappropriate, to the day you canonize, the palace will order someone to send it to your palace." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Zhen Huan stood up and saluted, with a smile on her face.

Little did she know that danger was near.

"You said that Qian Mingshi has another "Ancient Xiangting Poetry Collection", is this?" The emperor looked at the collection of poems sent and asked in a cold voice.

Guerjia Emin knelt down, a little frightened and uneasy: "The slave also knew from Lord Zhen that he got this collection of poems, and he thought it was good, so he took it home to enjoy it, but the slave knew that Qian Mingshi and Nian Qianyao were the same year in the thirty years of Kangxi, and they had a very close relationship. ”

"So how did Zhen Yuandao get these poetry collections?" The emperor had already cooled his face, but there was still room for it, "Can you buy it on the chessboard street?" ”

"This collection of poems has not been published, I am afraid that it can only be obtained by Qian Mingshi's confidants and friends." Guerjia Emin guessed and said, but he said it conclusively, "The slave also saw it at Lord Zhen's house, so it took a lot of effort to get this one." ”

The emperor frowned fiercely: "Zhen Yuandao and Nian Qianyao have no contact, I know it." ”

"The slave also thinks so, maybe Master Zhen just has a relationship with Qian Mingshi, not with Nian Qianyao." Guerjia Emin led the emperor to think about the suspicion he had set for himself, "However, Lord Zhen took in this collection of poems, I am afraid that it has another deep meaning." In this collection of poems, the two sentences of 'dividing the Shaanxi Banner Zhou Zhaobo, from the Tiangu Jiao Han General' and 'Zhong Ding's famous mountain and river oath, the second tablet of Fanzang Yikan' are not only sycophants, especially the last two sentences, but also try to flatter the fourteen princes who were imprisoned by the emperor, and the ten princes who have been subdued to the law. ”

Hearing Yun Yu's name, the emperor suddenly lifted his spirit, turned two pages and saw those two lines of poetry, and forcibly suppressed his anger and said: "You mean, Zhen Yuandao collected this poetry collection because he sympathized with Yun Yu and Yun?" ”

"The slave doesn't know if Lord Zhen sympathizes with the fourteenth prince and the tenth prince, but the concubine Niangniang pleaded with the emperor to be the son of the tenth prince Yun, which is a matter known to everyone in the six palaces." Guerjia Emin pretended to be panicked, and hurriedly said, "Even the nobles of Qi listen to it as a beautiful talk and a slave." ”

"Emin." The emperor called in a low voice, causing Guerjia Emin to immediately bow his head to the ground, "You have worked with Zhen Yuandao's colleagues and have always been harmonious, why did you mention this collection of poems to me?" ”

Now that Zhen Yuandao is in a high position, Zhen Huan is about to be crowned a concubine, and seeing that the Zhen family is about to be full of glory, the emperor can't help but wonder if someone is deliberately smearing and framing the Zhen family at this moment. Especially Guerjia Emin, this move must be described as a villain's move, even if Zhen Yuandao is at fault first, it can't hide the fact that he is a snake and a mouse.

"The slave works with Lord Zhen, and the private friendship is not bad, but the slave is blessed with the emperor's grace, and he only serves the emperor, and the slave does not dare to think about other private affairs." Gualga Emin spoke in a high-sounding manner, and the expression on his face was so loyal that he could not see the slightest flaw.

The emperor looked at him for a long time before nodding calmly: "Okay, you kneel down." ”

After Guerjia Emin retreated, the emperor sat for a long time with the poetry collection before saying to Su Peisheng: "Go and pass on the concubine...... Forget it, I'll go to Chuxiu Palace to see her. He got up and took two steps, then changed his mind, "Swing, Weiyang Palace, I will go and see Concubine Rong." ”

"Yes." Su Peisheng walked back and forth three times, and when he saw that the emperor had finalized it, he went out to pass the sedan chair.

In Weiyang Palace, An Lingrong looked at the list sorted out by Cuiyin.

"Guan Concubine Niangniang is now proud, many people who were willing to take refuge in Niangniang have temporarily repented, these are the rest, and the slaves and maids are all available." Cuiyin said, "Gonggong Tao of the Guangchu Division and Gonggong Qiu of the Department of Rites remember the kindness of Niangniang, and know that it was Niangniang who made suggestions to the emperor to let them stay in the palace, and they were the two most loyal in this group of candidates. ”

"It's not bad that five of the seven divisions can be in our hands." An Lingrong nodded, "What about the Third Courtyard and the North Fifth Academy?" ”

"The cowardly and fearful of Fengchen Academy, pushing no one, Gonggong Zhang of Shangqi Yuan is a sincere person, saying that he will not easily regret it if he agrees, and Gonggong Liang of the Wubei Academy said that he can trust Gonggong Zhang, and he will also follow Niangniang." Cui Yin said again, "The North Five Institute is far away, and none of the people the slaves and maids are looking for are left. ”

An Lingrong closed the list: "These people are enough." ”

In her previous life, Zhen Huan only had a little friendship with the head Jiang of the Internal Affairs Office, although the head of the house has great power, however, whenever the queen wants to harm people, she must start from the details, it is not enough to only hold the big head, she has to penetrate the control like water seeping into the earth, and place people in every subtlety to control the overall situation.

"You train them well first, and tell them that if you follow this palace, even if you can't be high and powerful in the future, this palace can keep them prosperous and rich." An Lingrong returned the list to Cui Yin, "When the training is almost done, you will hand over the Guangchu Division, the Zhangli Division, the Construction Division, the Weaving Division, and the Shen Punishment Division to Dill and the Shangxi Courtyard and the Armed Forces Institute to Cardamom, and then slowly expand the relationship network, spreading layer by layer." ”

"Yes." Cuiyin nodded solemnly.

At this time, Xiao Yinzi came in and said: "Niangniang, the emperor is here." ”

An Lingrong was slightly stunned, and then got up and went out to greet him: "The emperor is blessed with Jin'an." ”

"Get up." The emperor strode in front of An Lingrong, bent down slightly, and stretched out his hand to pull her up, "It's cold outside, come in." ”

"Yes." An Lingrong shrank his fingers a little uncomfortably.

Entering the hall and sitting down, the emperor looked at the embroidered basket on the coffee table: "What are you embroidering?" ”

An Lingrong looked at the little knee pads embroidered for Ankang in the past two days, and sat down opposite the emperor with a light smile: "I had nothing to do, I met a pair of knee pads for Ankang, but it turned out to be not good-looking, so I had to ask the concubine to embroider a little rabbit, and the concubine only embroidered half of it." The girl didn't know who she was with, jumping up and down all day and night, Aunt Fenruo couldn't hold her, and her knees were bruised at every turn. ”

"The damage to the princess's jade body is all because the minions below don't care." When the emperor heard this, his face suddenly sank.

"Don't say that, the emperor doesn't say that, children run more, and they will grow stronger in the future, and Imperial Doctor Zhou also said that children will be less sick in the future if they are more touched." An Lingrong said with a smile, "The emperor might as well take it for a day next time to see if he can hold the leather monkey." ”

The emperor couldn't help but laugh twice, and the original estrangement disappeared in an instant. Looking at An Lingrong's intimate posture as always, thinking of himself who had to be angry with her during this time, he felt a little ridiculous, but the words of sealing Concubine Guan as a concubine had already been spoken, and it was not appropriate to take it back.

"I've got a new book of poems, look at it." The emperor handed the poetry collection in his hand to An Lingrong.

"The most well-read poetry book in the palace is Sister Guan, why did the emperor think of looking for a concubine today? The concubines only know a little fur, and they are afraid that they will not appreciate it well and make the emperor laugh. An Lingrong said as he took the collection of poems.

"Concubine Wan is about to be crowned a concubine, Broken Yuxuan is still being repaired, she is crowded in the palace of Hui Concubine, if I go to look for her, I will have to see the nobles of Qi." The emperor shook his hand, "Her mouth is so broken, I don't bother to see her." ”

When An Lingrong heard this, he raised his eyes and glanced at the emperor, his eyes were full of smiles, but he didn't say anything.

The emperor saw thousands of words from this eye, and he didn't say anything, and then smiled, as if he had reached a secret consensus.

"Where did the emperor get the poetry collection? It's so poorly written. An Lingrong carefully read the two pages, and found that it was wrong, and looked up with a smile and said, "The person who writes the poem has no literati backbone, and the rhetoric is piled up throughout, neither Li Taibai's boldness nor Du Zimei's depression and frustration, it is really not a good poem." ”
