Xiao Yi did not stay in Luluoju for breakfast, only brought hot water to Jinyan, and after freshening up, he left Luluoju refreshed, with a satisfied smile on his face, anyone would think that it was a night of spring breeze.

"Aunt Qiu, accompany me to go for a walk outside, take advantage of the good air in the morning, and eat well. After Huaijin removed all the utensils, Qingchen got up and said to Aunt Qiu.

"Yes. Aunt Qiu bowed and nodded, and asked Jin Yan to take the cloak and follow, and the three of them went out.

Hold Yu was left in the room, and she saw that Qingchen had already walked away, and then she went to the inner room of the dormitory, and carefully checked it while tidying up the bed.

The red silk has long been sent to the backyard to serve the flowers and plants by them in the wrong place, in case someone does it again, this house has always been taken care of by Zhiyu himself, even the bed of Qingchen.

took out the night clothes that Xiao Yi hid in the quilt last night and cleaned them up, and then Ji Yu folded the quilt and began to clean up the house.

And Qingchen took Aunt Qiu and Jinyan out of the dew and walked slowly along the lake in the back garden of the palace.

The winter days after the year are not as bleak as those of the previous year, there is no snow, but the surface of the lake is still covered with a layer of cold frost, which makes people feel cold to the bone marrow as soon as they get closer.

Jin Yan put on a cloak for Qingchen, fastened the strap on his chest, and then continued to move forward.

"The concubine body sees the princess. Shen Bining followed Nuan Xia and Nuan Dong behind him, walked over from a distance, and saluted Mu Qingchen.

"No need to be polite. Qingchen said, "I didn't expect Concubine Shen to be so interested, and she came out for a walk on such a cold day." ”

It's just an ordinary greeting, Mu Qingchen doesn't have any other intentions, he just feels that Shen Bining can't make much trouble in this palace, although she knows about her going out at night, but it is still under her control.

But she didn't expect that Shen Bining didn't seem to have the meaning of talking to her, and spoke directly:

"In terms of interest, how dare the concubine be compared with the princess? The prince stayed overnight last night, and the princess can still get up and walk around the garden this morning, and this interest is naturally high. ”

"Concubine Shen might as well say it directly, Bengong is a foolish person, and she can't understand these twists and turns. Mu Qingchen heard Shen Bining mention Xiao Yi, and a trace of fierceness suddenly flashed in her eyes that even she couldn't believe.

"Warm summer, warm winter, you stand down, I want to talk to the princess alone. Shen Bining looked at Mu Qingchen calmly and seemed to be a little overly pale, and suddenly spoke.

Seeing this, Mu Qingchen suddenly smiled, she knew that Shen Bining was going to open the skylight with her to say something, so she turned around and waved at Aunt Qiu and Jinyan: "You guys should also retreat first." ”

After the sisters-in-law and maidservants who were waiting on both sides retreated far enough, Shen Bining spoke: "What the princess promised me, is it possible that she has forgotten it?"

"Bengong doesn't remember what he promised you, Bengong only said to do his best, but he didn't promise to let you conceive a child. ”

"Aren't you afraid that I will tell the Queen Mother about your departure from the Yi Palace's mansion in the middle of the night?" Shen Bining threatened.

"You won't say it. Qingchen glanced at Shen Bining, turned around, and faced the lake, before he said.

"Are you so sure?"

"The reason why you have delayed telling the Queen Mother about this is because you have your plans. Do you want to give birth to a child before me, with the current status of the Shen family and the arrangement of the Queen Mother, let your son become the son of the world, and your mother can take your mother out of the Shen family justifiably by virtue of her son, and you don't have to be practiced by the eldest lady of the Shen family, am I right?" Qingchen did not answer the rhetorical question, and brought Shen Bining's thoughts one by one.

"Even if you're right, so what? What does this have to do with whether or not I expose you to the Queen Mother?"

"Nature has a lot to do with it. Every time you enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother, she will leave you alone, and she is called gossip, but in fact, she knows what she said to you. Qingchen's face was inexplicable, and Shen Bining couldn't figure it out, "You don't have any feelings for the Shen family, if you really want to talk about your relationship with the Shen family, there is only one word, and that is hate." ”

Shen Bining looked at Mu Qingchen with a shocked face, her heart fluctuated, she thought she was hiding deep enough, she bowed her head and was humble to Shen Bihuan, and obeyed the Queen Mother, but no one knew that it was just a means to protect her mother and protect herself.

"Everything you have done is for your mother, for so many years, you have played yourself as an ignorant concubine who does not respect your mother, and let Shen Bihuan press you in every way, isn't it just to protect yourself and your mother before you have enough ability......? This scandal in the mansion of the Prime Minister of the Moon Kingdom can't be hidden, can it?"

"Princess Jade Hook, you are such a terrible woman. Shen Bining changed from the initial shock to calm, looked at Mu Qingchen, and only said this sentence faintly.

"You say, if the Queen Mother and Shen Bihuan know your thoughts, will they move you first or me first? I am a princess of a country, even if they want to do something, they have to weigh the Tianxing Kingdom behind me, but if they want to clean up a concubine, there can be countless reasons. Qingchen's expression was faint, and the pros and cons were all revealed.

Since Shen Bining threatened her once last time, she sent someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to investigate Shen Bining's affairs over the years, just as she used Du Xiangrui to deal with Shen He, Shen Bining's weakness was her mother, if she used it properly, maybe it could be a big help for her.

After all, in this world, there are very few people who can really calculate her.

"Princess Jade Hook, let's join forces. Shen Bining was silent for a moment, raised his head suddenly, looked at Mu Qingchen, and suddenly spoke, "I don't know why you hide your intelligence, I don't care about your purpose, I just want my mother to be good, and to double the pain that Shen Bihuan and her mother have inflicted on me and my mother over the years." ”

"Why should I believe you? You know, even if you hold a grudge against the Shen family, you will always be surnamed Shen, if the Queen Mother allows you to be the princess, or even the phoenix seat of the world, how will you be treated?"

"I know a secret ...... of the Queen Mother" Shen Bining took a deep breath, as if she had made a big decision, and slowly spit out a few words from her mouth, soft and almost inaudible.

When Qingchen heard this, her pupils suddenly dilated, and a trace of disbelief flashed from her eyes, and she was shocked in her heart: It turns out that ...... This is Shen Yuan's secret.

After a few turns of thought, Qingchen smiled: "Concubine Shen's sincerity is very strong. ”

"In addition to this, I can also guarantee that I will not compete with the princess for favor in the future, as long as the princess is willing to help me realize my wish, I am willing to become the princess's pawn. The resoluteness on Shen Bining's face showed her resoluteness.

Shen Bining didn't know how capable Mu Qingchen was, but Mu Qingchen was able to leave the house in the middle of the night under the supervision of Xiao Ling and the Queen Mother, which shows that her ability is not small; she can settle down in Ningyue Country in such a short period of time, and she is known to all the concubines and concubines with her simplicity and modesty, which shows that she has a tough heart; she can understand her affairs so clearly, and her mind is so thorough, it can be seen that her means are extraordinary.

She is just a little concubine and does not have much ambition, but she also knows how to find a shelter for herself that she can rely on, and this shelter is not the Queen Mother or the Shen family, but Mu Qingchen.

"Concubine Shen is too worried, the prince is handsome and extraordinary, if Concubine Shen really likes the prince, it is impossible for this palace to beat the mandarin ducks?" Qingchen smiled, "What's more, the son in Concubine Shen's belly must appear at the most appropriate time, which is the best policy." ”

Mu Qingchen's words made Shen Bining's heart shocked, and she seemed to see the calculation in Mu Qingchen's eyes.

"It seems that the princess already has a plan, and the concubine body will not stay long, if the princess needs the concubine body to do something, just tell it. Shen Bining said, but he was slightly blessed and planned to retire.

"Concubine Shen just left? Guess how long it will take for the conversation between you and me today to reach the emperor and the queen mother? If the emperor and the queen mother know, you and I have a good conversation, what should we do in the future?" Qingchen said before Shen Bining moved.

"What does the princess mean......" Shen Bining was shocked in her heart, marveling at Mu Qingchen's delicate thoughts, and then followed Mu Qingchen's gaze, but saw Mu Qingchen's eyes inadvertently sweeping the lake next to her, and her heart suddenly became clear, "Don't think that if you are a princess, you can bully others, no matter how capable you are, you are just a princess from a foreign country!"

Shen Bining suddenly raised her voice, attracting the attention of the maids and maids in the distance.

Plop –

Everyone looked towards the lake, but saw that Shen Bining's arm was still in the posture of pushing Mu Qingchen into the water, and Mu Qingchen had already fallen into the cold lake water, embarrassed.

"Someone—the princess has fallen overboard—" Jin Yan was the first to react, and immediately ran to the lake, shouting as he ran.

At this time, Shen Bining's face was full of anger, and he actually made a side concubine who was jealous because she was bullied by the arrogant concubine.

Qiu Rong and Nuan Xia saw this scene, and they also slightly understood in their hearts that when the two of them met, the atmosphere was a little wrong, and it was expected that Concubine Shen was a little dissatisfied with the princess's favor, and under the dispute, the concubine retreated from the lake by mistake.

Qin Zhong soon brought people over, and the servants who knew how to water all jumped into the water one after another to save Mu Qingchen.

The mink cloak on Qingchen's body has already been soaked by the lake, and the water is also dripping all over his body, and it is cold in winter, and Qingchen is full of lake water, shivering in the cold wind, and after a while on the shore, he fell down alive again.

"Princess-" Jin Yan looked at Mu Qingchen who had fainted, and exclaimed, "Concubine Shen, if our princess has any three long and two short, I will definitely tell the prince and let him punish you!"

Jin Yan, who didn't know the truth, turned red in the eyes, and asked people to send Mu Qingchen back to Lu Luoju, which made this scene in Qingchen's calculations a little more real.
