The queen groveled and bowed her head to Xiao Qi last night, but Xiao Qi's thin lips were tightly pursed, and she responded to the queen with silence, causing the queen mother to come out and say: "Your favor for the virtuous concubine is obvious to everyone in the palace, but you need to know that the concubine's jealousy is terrifying, and you can't favor one person alone." The queen's words are also true, the mourning family has already blamed the queen, and you don't continue to take this matter to heart. Concubine Xian is pregnant, and it is necessary to have a proper promotion, so let's wait until Concubine Xian gives birth to a child, regardless of gender, and promote Concubine Xian to be a concubine! How is it? ”

"Concubine?" The thin frost under Xiao Qi's eyes seemed to be irradiated by the warm sun, and turned into water in an instant, and after being surprised, he showed closeness to the queen mother: "It's still the queen mother's thoughtfulness, and the son originally planned to crown the concubine as Concubine Jiang Chen after giving birth to the child, but I didn't expect the queen mother to agree to be promoted to the concubine." ”

"The position of the noble concubine is rare, but the virtuous concubine can afford it." The smile in the corner of the Queen Mother's eyes deepened, and the red light emitted by the red jade bracelet on her wrist that she had worn for a long time crossed the queen's black pupils like a blood mark, her shortness of breath worsened, and the gloomy meaning around her body made the Queen Mother interrupt loudly: "Queen, what do you think?" ”

The queen was suffocated for a moment, her face softened rapidly, and she let out a long breath and said: "Concubine Xian's child is the first child of the saint, since the queen mother has said so, the concubine feels that the position of the concubine is just right." ”

Xiao Qi gave the queen a look, and said meaningfully: "It's rare that the queen can agree, so wait for Concubine Xian to give birth to a child safely, and give an order to be promoted." ” 𝓜.🆅𝙊𝓓🅃𝙒.ℂ𝙊𝙈

"How could the queen disagree with such a good thing?" The queen mother straightened the twisted Buddha beads, her tone slowly became cold, leaned on the soft pillow embroidered with the crane auspicious cloud pattern on the back and said: "Although the queen is young, she also firmly sits in the position of the middle palace, in the past few years, the queen has not done anything wrong, and the saint should be clearer than the mourning family, and the harmony between the emperor and the queen should be a great luck in the harem and a great luck in Zhongchen." When it comes to the matter of the virtuous concubine today, the queen herself spoke. ”

The Queen Mother pointed to the queen and said, "Queen, say whatever you want to say." Don't wait until the fifteenth day of the new year to talk about it, by then, you have to forget everything you want to say. ”

The queen mother pointed out in front of several people in the hall, and the queen immediately pulled out a smile like a far-fetched smile, and glanced at Shen Qingjiao, who had not looked up since she came in, and said: "The concubine has nothing to say, but I think that in the past few years, the position of the sisters in the palace has not been touched much, not to mention that there is only one virtuous concubine on the concubine position, and even the concubines above the third grade are counted as only three virtuous concubines, not to mention that there is a talented person from the sixth rank in the palace." ”

"The concubine didn't think of this before, it really shouldn't be. Today, in front of the queen mother, the saint will first promote the sisters in the palace, and it can be regarded as making up for the previous mistakes of the concubines. The queen walked up to Xiao Qi and said sincerely.

Xiao Qi turned around, as if he wanted to find a trace of reluctance from the queen's face, but the queen smiled brightly and continued: "The concubine thinks that the talented people will be promoted to high beauties, and Jiang Meiren will be promoted to nobles, as for Jiang nobles and nobles..."

The queen reluctantly said: "According to reason, Jiang Guiren can be promoted to Jieyu after serving the saint for a long time, as for the nobles who have been serving for a short time, but now the nobles are here, and the saint is not stingy with the nobles of Jin Feng for Jieyu, right?" ”

The queen talked about the future of the harem concubines in front of Shen Qingjiao, as simple as talking about what to use for breakfast today and what not to use, and she had even decided what position she should be promoted to, just waiting for Xiao Qi to nod and agree.

Xiao Qi sneered: "The queen is thoughtful, the nobles are all here, I can't let the nobles go home empty-handed, right?" When the queen decided, she told the people around me that she would inform the harem that I still had something to do, so I wouldn't talk to the queen mother. ”

Xiao Qi stepped off the soft couch and bowed his head slightly towards the Queen Mother, not caring at all about the sudden ruthless look of the Queen on his side, he couldn't wait to walk out of the Ci'an Palace, and his expression seemed to confirm the Queen's thoughts, and the Queen suddenly stopped him: "The Holy One is leaving?" Why don't you let Jieyu follow and serve? ”

The three words of Jiao Jieyu made Shen Qingjiao dazed for a moment, and then she got up, she stood in place, on the one hand, the queen's eyes urging her to follow, and on the other hand, Xiao Qi's eyebrows were furrowed and she looked at Shen Qingjiao with disapproval.

Under the expediency, Shen Qingjiao of course chose to bow and leave, just as she hesitated, Xiao Qi mixed with the sound of rain to blur a sentence: "Jieyu, don't listen to the queen, follow me?" "Relieved Shen Qingjiao.

Shen Qingjiao put away her blank expression, saluted the queen and the queen mother and said goodbye, the emerald green skirt was quickly covered by a yellow silk umbrella, and the top of her head was infinitely amplified by the sound of crackling rain, and the embroidered shoes were wet with the hibiscus upper because she was in a hurry to keep up, so as to create a deeper layer of rouge, and the majestic rain in the summer washed away the black and heavy palace road, no matter how anxious Shen Qingjiao was, she couldn't catch up with Xiao Qi's figure that gradually disappeared in the white rain.

She simply slowed down, the cloud sleeves fell between her elbows, the plain white jade hand stretched out under the yellow umbrella, felt the pain of the raindrops hitting the palm, and also felt the freedom of the raindrops falling down from the clouds, between the white and the vast world, everything in the world seems so small, and so are people, their hasty escape from the heavy rain is no different from the animals that have become panicked due to the heavy rain, but people are luckier than animals, people, it is easier to succumb to the heavy rain, so it is easier to find shelter.

Shen Qingjiao stepped out of the palace gate of Ci'an Palace, the yellow umbrella in Honeysuckle's hand was slightly raised, Xiao Qi looked up, and through the thick rain, Shen Qingjiao's heart was unprovoked
