The leaves fall in late autumn, the courtyard is cold, and the days are as plain as water.

There was no news from Mingyue and Ye Xi in the palace, and Shen Bining seemed to be afraid of Mu Qingchen, so he stayed in his warm pavilion every day and rarely went out.

On this day, the weather was fine, Mu Qingchen remembered that since she married into the Yi Wangfu, she had never seen the scenery of the palace well, and she couldn't help but be interested, and went to the Liuhua Pavilion in the garden.

"Princess, now even Concubine Shen can't keep the prince, the slave maid listened to the Qin housekeeper say, the prince lingers in those Qin Lou Chu Pavilions every day, and I don't know which fox charmed the prince......" Jin Yan chattered beside Mu Qingchen.

"Which Qinglou does the prince go to most often?" Mu Qingchen asked casually.

In her heart, Xiao Yi is definitely not a person who lingers in the land of fireworks, he does this for two purposes: first, to hide people's eyes and ears, in order to confuse Xiao Ling and the Queen Mother, he has to do it deliberately;

However, Jin Yan seemed to be mistaken, thinking that Qingchen suddenly became concerned about Xiao Yi's whereabouts, so he said angrily:

"I heard that it is the light smoke and green willow in the north of the city and the star-picking tower in the east of the city, the slave maid heard of these two places when she was in the Tianxing Kingdom, and the women in them make a living by selling laughter, the most foxy, the princess ......"

"Okay, I'll just ask casually, it's cold outside, you go back and get a cloak for me. Qingchen sat in the Liuhua Pavilion and said to Jin Yan.

Jin Yan instructed Zhu Yu to serve Mu Qingchen, and then turned around and walked towards Lu Luoju.

"Landlord, after so many days, my subordinates finally found an opportunity to talk to the landlord alone. Seeing Jin Yan walking away, Zhan Yu could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart and spoke.

"In the end, you are more impatient, no wonder the Nankong Divine Doctor accepted Huai Jin as an apprentice back then, she is indeed more suitable than you to study medicine. Qingchen smiled lightly.

"The landlord is used to making fun of me, and letting me go to study medicine is my temperament, I would rather practice swords with the master, so that I can protect the landlord. Zhan Yu said, looked around, and then spoke again, "Landlord, do you have any plans now?"

"What can I plan? If I am still Ye Qingcheng, in this Ningyue Country, I will naturally do whatever I want, but now I am Mu Qingchen, and my identity is already very embarrassing, I have to calculate what I say and do, no one in Ningyue Country is a fuel-efficient lamp, and wait and see what happens." Qingchen said.

"Then the landlord ......"

"Someone is here, remember, from now on, call me the princess, the word landlord, and you must not appear in a place other than the Star Picking Building. Ji Yu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Mu Qingchen.

Listening intently to the direction where the voice came from, she saw that it was Shen Bining, who had never gone out, in her bright yellow clothes, she looked more youthful and delicate, graceful and graceful.

Followed by Nuan Xia and Nuan Dong, it seemed that he was also walking around in this garden, and he had already seen Mu Qingchen sitting in the Liuhua Pavilion from a distance, he wanted to avoid it, but he never wanted to be preempted by Qingchen:

"I didn't expect Concubine Shen to come out for a walk today. ”

"The concubine body sees the princess, since the princess is here, the concubine body will not be disturbed. After Shen Bining finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"What's the matter? Concubine Shen didn't even want to sit with the palace? The palace also asked Aunt Qiu to prepare good tea and snacks, if Concubine Shen was fine, she wouldn't be afraid to come over and chat. Mu Qingchen said, took the lead back to Liuhua Pavilion, and sat down again.

Shen Bining saw that he couldn't escape, so he had to come to the pavilion and sit down, but he didn't know what to say, and was silent for a while.

Jin Yan took the cloak and came back, and when she saw Shen Bining here, she couldn't help but feel angry in her heart, she always thought that it was Shen Bining's arrival that would make Xiao Yi snub Mu Qingchen, so she said unceremoniously:

"Concubine Shen is so interested, don't you have to serve the prince?"

"Jinyan, don't be rude. Qingchen drank Jin Yan, and turned to Shen Bining, "Concubine Shen is not strange, Jin Yan is used to being straightforward. ”

"What did the princess say, how dare the concubine blame Miss Jinyan?" a trace of bitterness swelled up at the corner of Shen Bining's mouth, "To be honest, the prince hasn't been to the Qingnuan Pavilion for several days. ”

"Xu is the prince sympathetic to Concubine Shen's hard work, the prince has a good intention, Concubine Shen must not think about it. Qingchen said, "By the way, Concubine Shen has been serving the prince for some time, why hasn't this stomach moved?"

The princess smiled, it was the concubine's stomach that was not angry. Shen Bining was a little embarrassed when asked this question.

"Miss, how can you say that about yourself, maybe, it was some people's fate that collided with you, Miss, that made your stomach not move for so long. Nuan Xia also seemed to learn to speak straightforwardly and speak directly.

"Nuan Xia, what nonsense?" Shen Bining said in some panic.

"I'm not wrong! Miss, didn't the eldest lady in the palace say the same? Xianggui Concubine lives in the side hall of Bizhi Palace, and as soon as the news of her pregnancy came out, the eldest lady was unwell and weak, and it was the child who collided with the eldest lady. Nuan Xia didn't seem to be used to being big or small in front of Shen Bining, so she didn't even listen to Shen Bining's angry shouts, and spoke directly, "Last time, as soon as the princess arrived at the Qingnuan Pavilion, the young lady was poisoned, and it is difficult to guarantee that it is not fate......

"Sure enough, it's the master of the Prime Minister's Mansion who is easy to teach/teach. Qingchen listened to Nuan Xia's words and said with a smile.

"What do you mean? Our young lady is afraid of you, I'm not afraid, you are just a princess of a defeated country, even if you marry and become a princess, it is also for the sake of the face of the emperor of the Tianxing Kingdom, but don't forget, this is the place of the Ning Yue Country and the Shen family, if you dare to have any bad intentions towards our young lady, Xiang Ye will definitely not be able to spare you!" Nuan Xia said very arrogantly, and he didn't take Mu Qingchen in his eyes at all.

"I don't even know when Ning Yue Kingdom became the place of the Shen family. "Qingchen snorted coldly, warm summer's words, although it seems to defend Shen Bining repeatedly, but why didn't he push Shen Bining into the fire pit word by word? Such an arrogant girl, a concubine will definitely not be able to teach it, so ...... Nuan Xia must be Shen Bihuan's person.

"The princess is right, even if the slave maid grew up in the Heavenly Star Country, she also knows that the emperor of the Ningyue Kingdom is surnamed Xiao, not Shen. What's more, the child in Sister Nuan Xia's mouth who collided with the eldest lady of their family is still a dragon species. Jin Yan also said.

"Concubine Shen, it's good that I'm the princess of a defeated country, but I'm also Princess Yi, in terms of identity, you are not qualified to talk to me like this. Qingchen glanced at Nuan Xia and smiled lightly, "I don't care about what this maid said today, but he will bring disaster to himself or others...... Concubine Shen, it's better to be careful. ”

After Qingchen finished speaking, he left with Jinyan and Zhanyu, leaving Shen Bining alone in the Liuhua Pavilion, his chest undulating, and his face flushed with anger.

The fate is reversed, and it collides...... The corners of Qingchen's mouth raised a slight smile, Shen Bihuan, can't you help it?

At the same time, in the Ci'an Palace.

The Queen Mother leaned on the soft couch covered with mink fur, full of brocade clothes, looking graceful and luxurious, holding a small copper stove in a jade brocade handbag, the silver charcoal inside was burning, and the temperature from the palm made her feel a little warm.

"People are old and useless, and when it comes to this kind of weather, even the hand stove can't be separated. Changing her posture slightly, the Queen Mother spoke faintly.

"What did the Queen Mother say? You are still so young, not old at all. Aunt Lan beside her couldn't help but laugh.

"But the emperor is big, his wings are stiff, and he doesn't listen to the words of the mourning family. Since Ye Chengcheng's death, the emperor seems to have changed as a person, and between him and the mourning family, there is no longer a mother and son......" The queen mother's voice was a little helpless.

"The emperor and the queen mother have been bitter for five years, and they are probably reluctant in their hearts. Aunt Lan guessed.

"Hmph, where is he reluctant to give up Ye Chengcheng? He is reluctant to give up the power in his hands! In the past, there was the containment of the Ye and Shen families, and he, the prince and emperor, was also the nest, but now that the Ye family has been removed, he will move the knife to the head of the mourning family!"

"Isn't it that the emperor knows that ...... back then," Aunt Lan was a little shocked.

"Only you and I know what happened back then, how can the emperor know? It is said that once you go to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the six family affection is absolutely extinct, and the mourning family seems to have lost his eyes by the honor of being in a high position!"

"Don't worry about the Queen Mother, isn't there still a Concubine De in the palace now? As long as the Queen Mother can give birth to a dragon son for the emperor, then the status of the Queen Mother and the Shen family will not be touched......"

"Bihuan? her uncompetitive belly is clearly more advanced than Xiang Guifei, but Xiang Guifei is pregnant first, if the princess is fine, but if Xiang Guifei gives birth to the emperor's eldest son......" The queen mother said, the cold light in her eyes flashed, "Lu Tianqi, the servant of the criminal department, is the emperor's confidant, if Xiang Guifei gives birth to the prince, it will be an important bargaining chip in the emperor's hands." ”

"Then let's make sure that the child in Concubine Xianggui's belly can't be born. Aunt Lan raised her eyes and whispered in the Queen Mother's ear, "I heard that Concubine De has been very tired recently, and everyone outside said that she collided with the child in Concubine Xianggui's belly......"

"Nonsense! Where did this rumor come from?" the Queen Mother frowned and shouted angrily.

"It's in Bizhi Palace, and the slave maid doesn't know if Concubine De is planning to do it, or if it's the Shuhexuan in the side hall, who deliberately passed it on. ”

"Confused! Concubine Xiang lives in the side hall of Bizhi Palace, if something happens at this time, even if it is not Bihuan's action, she, as a concubine of virtue, will be accused of unfavorable care. ”

"What the Queen Mother said is very true, I don't know what the Queen Mother has planned?" Aunt Lan asked.

"You have to think of a very safe way to do this, you let Bihuan endure it first, some things don't have to be done by the mourning family, and some people stand up for the mourning family. A sneer appeared at the corner of the Queen Mother's mouth.

"Slave maid, let's go to Bizhi Palace. Aunt Lan nodded and bowed back.

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and half lay down, the coldness in her eyes finally fell silent, she went from a small nobleman to today's status, how can the twists and turns be humane to outsiders?

First Emperor, First Emperor, you suspected me of abandoning me back then, but now I want you to watch from underground, and watch how I make your Xiao family all in the hands of the Shen family!
