Today, Zhao Kezhen got up very early, and when she went to the Queen Mother's palace to say goodbye, even the Queen Mother was dressing up.

"The queen mother wears light makeup, but it looks much better than the heavy makeup before. Zhao Kezhen bypassed the screen at the entrance of the North Palace and quietly stood beside the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was slightly surprised, and a layer of displeasure appeared on her face: "You are also presumptuous, according to the rules, you should wait in the hall." ”

Zhao Kezhen put her hand into the queen mother's makeup, took a jade Huasheng and compared it between the queen mother's hair, and said, "Isn't Erchen here to groom the queen mother?"

The Queen Mother's eyes lit up, Erchen? I remember that she had warned Zhao Kezhen in person not to call herself Erchen in front of her.

"I don't need you. The Queen Mother snatched Yu Huasheng from her palm and threw it into her makeup.

Zhao Kezhen looked at the Queen Mother in the mirror and sneered: "Queen Mother, why do you have to be so atmospheric?"

"If you have something, just say, don't be so pretended, the mourning family looks disgusting. The Queen Mother snorted disdainfully: "You just rely on sorrow to control the mourning family." But the mourning family has told you that the mourning family is not afraid of death. ”

"I know," Zhao Kezhen paced a few steps lightly in the hall: "The queen mother is just afraid that her sons will poison the emperor with sorrow, so she is willing to be at the mercy of her sons." ”

"It's good that you know. The Queen Mother took a hairpin and inserted it into her hair: "You came so early today, what is the matter?"

Zhao Kezhen twisted a hairpin and said slowly: "Sister Yuanxi seems to have not come to greet the queen mother for a long time, right?"

"It's a trivial matter to ask for peace, it's inconvenient for her to be pregnant, what does it matter if you have more than one time and one less time. The Queen Mother gave Zhao Kezhen a cold look: "Zhao Kezhen, don't be too much." Last time, you used the mourning family to punish her for kneeling, what do you want to do this time?"

"I don't want to do anything," Zhao Kezhen hooked the corners of her lips: "It's just that there is a gust of wind blowing in my ears for no reason, I heard that the emperor wants to seal the convicted Shangguan Linrui to Donglin Prefecture, has the Queen Mother heard about this?"

The Queen Mother's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she twisted her earrings: "When did the emperor say this?"

"Soon, I heard that at today's court meeting, the emperor will announce this matter. ”

"So what?" the Queen Mother glanced at disappreciatively.

"How?" Zhao Kezhen's face suddenly became fierce: "The queen mother seems to be indifferent to the emperor's approach? But does the Queen Mother know that who made the emperor do this trick of bright depreciation and dark promotion?"

The Queen Mother was in no mood to guess, so she only glanced at her lightly.

"Shangguan Linrui drunkenly destroyed the emperor's Mobao and committed the crime of disobedience, this kind of traitor should never be used, but Erchen heard that Wei Yuanxi had a big trouble with the emperor for Shangguan Linrui's affairs, and he also threatened the child in his womb. The emperor was fascinated by her and obeyed her words. Wei Yuanxi took the opportunity to pave the way for his own family and asked the emperor to crown Shangguan Linrui as the sect master of Shangguan. Erchen wants to ask the Queen Mother, are there any rules in this Da Chu palace?"

Although Shangguan Linrui is not a good thing for the Queen Mother, Zhao Kezhen is even less of a thing.

The Queen Mother squinted at her: "Then what do you want?"

"The Queen Mother should announce that she should come over immediately and ask in person. If this is the case, please ask the Queen Mother to deal with it in accordance with the palace rules. ”

The Queen Mother turned her face, and a jewel earring swayed in her hair. The Queen Mother frowned: "How do you want this palace to deal with it?"

Zhao Kezhen smiled slightly and said: "According to the palace rules, the first offender should be punished for kneeling." ”

The Queen Mother snorted and said, "It's punishment again, you have a soft spot for punishment and kneeling." ”

"I only knelt for an hour last time, this time, she should be asked to kneel from this moment until the sun sets, if not, I'm afraid Sister Yuanxi won't be able to remember for a long time. ”

The Queen Mother suddenly stood up and stepped forward to grab Zhao Kezhen's sleeve: "It's just after midnight, you want her to kneel until dark, five or six hours, do you want her to kneel to death in the North Palace? The child in her belly has only been more than four months, and she has been uncomfortable recently, if you hurt the dragon seed when you kneel, do you think Zhan'er will let you go easily?"

Zhao Kezhen looked at the Queen Mother with a smile, and said gently: "The queen mother disposes of Wei Yuanxi according to the palace rules, what do you do to me? Even if she can't kneel for five or six hours and has a miscarriage, it will also be punished by the queen mother, and the emperor can't count this account on my head." Besides, even if the emperor is suspicious of me, there is still the queen mother protecting the sons, the sons have nothing to fear, what is there to be afraid of?"

"You!" The Queen Mother sat down angrily: "Don't you think about it!"

Zhao Kezhen saw that the Queen Mother refused to cooperate, and her face became more and more solemn: "Since the Queen Mother does not agree, the minister has no choice but to leave." I just don't know when the next antidote will be developed. ”

"Don't threaten the mourning family with this!" The Queen Mother raised her finger and pointed at Zhao Kezhen's face: "If you force people too much, the mourning family will die with you!"

"Okay!" Zhao Kezhen glanced at the Queen Mother provocatively: "The Queen Mother is not afraid of death, and I, Zhao Kezhen, am not afraid." But there is one thing, the son asks the Queen Mother not to forget. I, Zhao Kezhen, have a small heart, a narrow temperament, and are easy to act impulsively. If I feel a little unhappy in my heart, maybe there will be someone in this palace who will bring their sorrow to the emperor's meal. ”

As soon as Zhao Kezhen raised her hand, Yan'er was busy supporting her, Zhao Kezhen turned her head and glanced at the Queen Mother and said, "Since the Queen Mother refuses, Yan'er, let's not know each other." ”

"Wait!"

Zhao Kezhen and Yan'er glanced at each other, and the corners of their lips were hooked. Zhao Kezhen pretended to turn her head inexplicably: "Does the queen mother have any other orders?"

The muscles on the Queen Mother's face twitched violently for a while, and she pointed at Zhao Kezhen tremblingly: "You send someone to send the one from Zichen Palace to the North Palace." ”

Zhao Kezhen made a look, and Yan'er arranged for someone to go. Looking at the queen mother's self-reproachful look, Zhao Kezhen couldn't restrain it, and said with a smile: "Why is the queen mother? Is it so embarrassing to be with her sons? I remember that when the queen mother chose a princess for the emperor, the queen mother treated her sons and ministers with a kind of eyes. The queen mother was still praising her ministers at the beginning, being docile and good, knowing books and etiquette. ”

"That's the mourning family's blindness!" the Queen Mother covered her mouth and whimpered.

Yan'er pointed to a palace person in the Queen Mother's palace to go to Zichen Palace to deliver the decree, and when the palace person arrived, Yuan Xi had just gotten up. Since the Imperial Physician left last night, she has been unable to sleep. Zhao Kezhen is eyeing the queen's position, if she knows that she is pregnant with twins, she will have a better chance of making waves.

Since the Donglin Army broke the palace, the Queen Mother's attitude towards herself has been very strange, and I don't know what means Zhao Kezhen used to make the Queen Mother change her opinion of her instantly. Did you just think that Zhao Kezhen had rescued her from Xiao Rongcheng's hands? If it was the matter of the twins, and the Queen Mother also helped Zhao Kezhen, wouldn't she be surrounded by strong enemies?

Although she didn't have much energy, but the Queen Mother passed her, she had to go, speaking of which, she really hadn't asked the Queen Mother for a long time. These days, I vomit so much that I can't sleep at night, and I stay up until dawn before I feel a little more comfortable and can barely sleep.

The Queen Mother was in a hurry, Yuan Xi didn't have time to think about it, changed into a set of palace clothes, lightly applied fat powder, combed her hair bun, and hurried over.

Today's North Palace is more solemn and solemn than in the past, which Yuan Xi felt as soon as he stepped into the gate of the North Palace.

Ling'er peeked at it: "Master, today's posture is not right." ”

Yuan Xi also knew that the posture was wrong, but she had already entered the palace gate of the North Palace, and there was no room to retreat, no matter whether it was wind or rain in front of her, she could only go forward.

"Please wait here. The little palace maid's face was very cold, and at first glance, she knew that she was deliberately making things difficult.

Yuan Xi glanced at the palace maid: "What did you say?"

The little palace maid said again: "The queen mother is bathing and changing clothes, please kneel here and wait." ”

Mother Zhong frowned and said, "Waiting for the Queen Mother should go to the Hua Hall, what are the rules for kneeling and waiting here?"

The little palace maid glanced at Mother Zhong coldly, but didn't take her seriously at all, and only said: "What are you talking about?

"You!" Ling'er glared at the little palace maid and muttered, "Dogs fight people." ”

This slap was crisp, Ling Er was a little confused, what kind of thing is this little palace maid, and dare to do anything with her? Ling Er glared at the little palace maid, and the little palace maid also stared at her, with a look of what you can do with me.

Ling'er was angry, Yuan Xi would not stand idly by, she raised her hand, and hit back with the same crispness. The little palace maid Xu was defenseless, Xu was pretending to be delicate, and she was knocked to the ground by this slap.

"The crown princess, you!" The little palace maid covered her hot cheeks and said aggrievedly: "You dare to beat me, I am a person in the Queen Mother's palace!"

"The slave maid in the Queen Mother's Palace, isn't it a slave maid? This palace is still standing here, is it your turn to teach the people of this palace a lesson? A slap in the face, it's too much to take this palace in your eyes, right?" Yuan Xi looked at the little palace maid indifferently, and only clapped his hands contemptuously: "Today is a lesson for you, remember it in the future, the slave must look like a slave." ”

The little palace maid climbed up angrily: "You wait!"

The little palace maid sobbed and entered the dormitory, but she didn't see her for a long time, but after a while, she invited Zhao Kezhen out.

"Why should my sister be so angry, she is just a slave, she can't deal with them, she is angry, and her sister is pregnant, so she shouldn't be like this. Zhao Kezhen looked at the scenery in the North Palace casually, and said indifferently: "But what the little palace maid said is right." Sister Fang Cai came to ask for peace and heard the Queen Mother mention her sister. In the words of the queen mother, she was full of dissatisfaction! said that her sister was pampered and arrogant, and did not take the palace rules and ancestral teachings in her eyes. couldn't help but not greet the queen mother on time, and also violated the ancestral precept that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics. ”

"How do you say this?" Yuan Xi stared at Zhao Kezhen: "It's not like this at all." ”

"No?" Zhao Kezhen gradually smiled: "Isn't it?, I heard that General Shangguan has made the Donglin Sect Master, it's your sister who ......."

"That's just what I heard," Yuan Xi raised his chin slightly: "Can you take it seriously? The emperor is eloquent, when will it be my turn to be a deep palace woman to give advice to the emperor?"
