The night pearl in the emperor's hand was as smooth as jade, faintly shimmering with a wonderful light against the backdrop of the light.

I've only seen this kind of thing in TV dramas, but now that the emperor has rewarded me with a night pearl, I have no reason to refuse, so I thanked me and took the night pearl.

Not to mention, this night pearl is not large, but the weight is not light, I took it, I didn't expect it to be so heavy, my arms were strained, and my brows wrinkled slightly.

The cicada standing behind me noticed my subtle reaction for the first time, and he hurriedly stepped forward to take the night pearl from my hand, and steadily stepped aside.

Then the emperor didn't say anything more, but told me not to forget the feast in a few days, and then shook his hand and left.

The Queen Mother has been sitting on the chair next to her, and it has been a little long, and she looks a lot tired.

"The Queen Mother, do you want to go back to the room to rest?" I asked cautiously, after all, the task given to me by the emperor was to accompany the Queen Mother, and rewarded me with the night pearl.

The Queen Mother shook her head gently, took out the roll and wiped the sweat that appeared slightly, and said: "The weather is very good today, the mourning family has been sick in bed for a long time, and I haven't gone out for a long time. ”

"Yes. "I'm blessed, I've been in the warm pavilion for a few days, but I really want to go out for a walk, since the Queen Mother has leisure and elegance, I will accompany her.

The Queen Mother has to carry a number of people to travel herself, and now the Queen Mother is sick, and there are more people who need to be served.

When I sat with the Queen Mother in the attic by Yuyao Lake, the attic that had not been used for a long time had been cleaned up, and there were a few delicate snacks and fruits on the table.

I was hungry and diligent, I didn't know where the morning meal was, I was tossed with the Queen Mother in the morning, I was dizzy with hunger, the cicada secretly stuffed me several times to eat, I ate in a hurry, and it was not enough to stuff the teeth, when I felt hungry again, I threw a look at the cicada for help, and the cicada opened his empty hands, helplessly saying that the landlord's family had no surplus food.

I swallowed, my eyes falling on the plates of snacks in front of me.

"Queen Mother, can I eat this snack?"

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then seemed to understand something, and said with a smile: "Eat." The mourning family eats a small amount of food, and they don't feel hungry at noon, but they ignore that you need to nourish your body. Then he waved his hand and summoned the aunt beside him, "Go to the kitchen and make some food for the girl and bring it here, so that she needs a warm meal." ”

The grandmother should go down, and I hurriedly thanked: "Thank you for the care of the Queen Mother." ”

Seeing that I had been picking up snacks with icing, the Queen Mother smiled and asked, "It seems that the girl likes to eat sweet?"

I nodded, rubbed my thumb lightly with the icing on the corner of my mouth, put my finger in my mouth and sucked.

The Queen Mother smiled even more, turned her head and looked at the Luoxue Lake outside the window, the attic where I and the Queen Mother were actually a viewing platform, especially opened the above huge windows, facing the most beautiful angle of the Luoxue Lake, just like the floor-to-ceiling windows in the previous life, but looking at this facility, this attic should be very old, delicate but a little stale smell.

To tell the truth, the attic has been cleaned because the Queen Mother temporarily decided to come, but the stale smell that has accumulated over the years will not be removed for a while, so after a while, the Queen Mother received the stimulation of the smell and kept coughing.

I hurriedly poured her a glass of water, and she swallowed it despite the discomfort, but her face did not improve.

"Queen Mother, there is a strong musty smell here, otherwise let's go back first, if you like this place, we will come back in a few days when the smell disperses." I said sympathetically.

But the Queen Mother shook her head and refused to leave, and suddenly said with a sad expression: "I can't imagine that after so many years, even if the mourning family is the queen mother, the mourning family is still not welcome here." ”

As soon as I heard that there was a story here, and I was a person who loved to listen to stories, the stories in this harem were more exciting than those on the street.

"Where did the Queen Mother say, this harem, every inch of land is waiting for you, how can you not welcome this. ”

The Queen Mother patted my hand gently, "Don't you know, originally this Luoxue Lake was called Yuyao Lake, which was named after the mourning family. ”

Luoxue Lake was originally called Yuyao Lake, named after the queen mother's boudoir name 'Yuyao', at that time the queen mother was only seventeen or eighteen years old, married into the palace only a year or two, one or two years, for the emperor is already a long-term love, in the past two years, the emperor at that time can be said to be the only favor of Yuyao, except for some days must go to the queen's palace, the rest of the time, the emperor is almost with Yuyao, at that time Yuyao has bright eyes and bright teeth, and the emperor is in love, it is really a favorite harem.

"To say a big disrespectful word, at that time, the mourning family thought that the love between themselves and the emperor was love, and the other concubines were not comparable to each other at all, as for the queen, it was just a symbol that must be had, the mourning family didn't care about the posterior, and the mourning family only cared about the emperor's affection for the mourning family. The Queen Mother slowly talked about the past, and her eyes sparkled with stars.

It didn't take long for the mourning family to become pregnant, and that's when things began to change. The Queen Mother restrained her slight smile and lowered her eyes, as if she remembered something sad.

"At that time, the emperor was still young and had no children, so the birth of the mourning family was the first child of the royal family, and if it was a boy, it would be the eldest prince. The emperor was very happy, and because of the mourning family to love the snow scene, the emperor opened up this place alone, built a viewing pavilion, and named it Yuyao Lake. ”

I gradually listened to it, and from the gentle look of the Queen Mother, it seemed that I could feel the taste of being pampered at that time, and it must be like being in the clouds.

"The mourning family is happy, the mourning family has a long prince, and there is Yuyao Lake, in addition to the emperor and the emperor's favor, the mourning family can't see anything else at all, pregnant in October, the mourning family really gave birth to the emperor, but the nightmare began. The Queen Mother's eyes narrowed.

"The queen, who is usually used to forbearance, is finally no longer silent, she not only exercises the power of the middle palace, but also makes things difficult and mourns her family everywhere, and more importantly, as a wife, what she says is very weighty, and even the emperor can't turn a deaf ear, so the emperor sealed Yuyao Lake according to the queen's words, changed it to Luoxue Lake, and no one was allowed to step into it again. ”

I sighed lightly, the emperor is ruthless, and the feelings of an emperor are the most unbelievable, because there are too many conditions, too many entanglements, and too many inequalities.

After that, the mourning family and the emperor grew up dependently, but fortunately, the emperor fought for strength and became the emperor, so that the mourning family came to today's position. But after more than ten years of hardship, the mourning family would rather not give birth to the emperor's eldest son, which also made the mourning family understand that the main wife is the main wife, and the favored concubine can't compare with the main wife anyway. ”

The Queen Mother told a long story, showed up to say, and finally said the key point, that is, the difference between a wife and a favorite concubine.

Actually, I don't mind very much, because in my opinion, either a wife or a breakup, spoiling concubines is a word that is not qualified to appear, and I can hear the words of the Queen Mother, she is telling me that it is useless to be pregnant with the eldest son, as long as I am not a wife, then don't think about tying Qin Yuefeng.

"The Queen Mother, the people's daughter has been taught. "I'm smiling politely, but the soul of psychological complaining has long been burning. The Queen Mother finished this task, she seemed to be very satisfied with her performance, and after speaking, she got up and led the army back.

Qin Yuefeng's send-off banquet is set for seven days later, the day after tomorrow to return to the Qin Mansion, in the morning, I have gradually adapted to the life in the palace, the main thing is that I don't have to do anything, every day in addition to eating and playing, is to accompany the Queen Mother to chat and relieve boredom, I accompany the Queen Mother to relieve boredom, cicadas will relieve boredom with me, and the days are not sad.

On this day, I went to ask the Queen Mother for peace as usual, and I deliberately delayed for a lot of time, in order to deliberately avoid the Lord of Longhui to come to the Queen Mother for a consultation.

How do you know that I have the heart to see Longhui, and the person I see is indeed Xue Yutian.

Wait a minute

Xue Yutian will be here like this?

Xue Yutian didn't seem surprised to see me come in, he stopped his eyes on me with concern for a while, then turned to the Queen Mother and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, you should pay attention to keeping warm in this disease, in this kind of weather, it is best to wear long sleeves and long pants, although it is hot, but it is definitely beneficial, if it is cold, the root of the disease is difficult to remove." He said solemnly.

The aunts beside the Queen Mother immediately wrote them down one by one.

Until Xue Yutian finished asking the Queen Mother for the pulse and exited the room, I didn't say a word to Xue Yutian, but I was also curious, in the past, the Queen Mother's illness was all in charge of Longhui, and suddenly the doctor changed, but she was not there.

The Queen Mother seemed to have guessed my question, or wanted to deliberately tell me, but before I could ask where Longhui was, the Queen Mother took the initiative to open her mouth.

"The mourning family summoned Dr. Xue to treat the mourning family, Hui'er was busy, and she couldn't be counted on for this illness. After saying that, he fell silent.

I know it's not really silence, it's showing off.

I was trying to deliberately give me a string to find a kite, and then I naturally asked, 'Where did this come from?' ’

I understood his good intentions, "Queen Mother, where did the Lord of Longhui go? Why haven't I seen him come to check the Queen Mother's pulse." ”

"Long Hui is going to go out with General Qin Yuefeng in the near future, and I'm afraid I'm still preparing now. "The Queen Mother said it very naturally, but it seemed that she said it to me on purpose," General Qin also agreed. ”

My hands shook unconsciously, and the stove I was holding in my hand for warmth burned my fingers.
