"Please step aside, I'm going to have a rest!" Concubine Xian waved her hands gently, and under Mu Yun's stunned eyes, she went to bed and rested. [ ]

But Mu Yun knew that his master would definitely not take this breath. Tomorrow, what awaits the entire palace may be an unprecedented storm.

…

Compared to Concubine Xian's anger, the empress showed a knowing smile after hearing that it was Wei Ning'er who stayed in the emperor's palace tonight.

"Your Majesty, didn't you offend the Queen Mother by doing this?" Chu Xia said with some worry.

The queen gently shook her head and said: "I have my own decision. I believe Concubine Xian will not give up this time. It just so happens that I want her to make a fuss. If she has the courage to murder Concubine Jia and Ning'er, I will

I want to teach her a lesson and let the Queen Mother, who has always doted on her, see if the Fujin she chose for the emperor is really as virtuous as Ban Jieyu and can be regarded as a role model for the harem as she thought."

When Chu Xia heard this, she was slightly surprised, but she didn't say anything. After a while, she said: "Mother, it's getting late, go to bed!"

"Well, there is still a tough battle to be fought tomorrow, so I naturally need to rest well, otherwise, how will I be able to cope with it!" The queen gently touched her belly with a loving smile on her face. She would not give in to her belly no matter what.

If something unexpected happens to the child in the middle, everything can be taken advantage of, except the child.

The next day, when Wei Ning'er got up, it was already late, and the emperor had already gone to Nanmu Hall to summon the officials to handle government affairs.

"My little master is awake!" Bingruo saw that she was awake, and immediately pulled up the bed curtain and helped her get up.

There were not that many rules in the palace, and even if a concubine stayed in the emperor's palace, it would not be considered a violation. However, Wei Ning'er did not want to stay any longer. After getting dressed, she ordered Bingruo and others to go back to her residence without even having time to wash up.

"My lord, just now the Queen sent someone to ask my lord to come!" Seeing Wei Ning'er coming back, Zhiyin immediately came up to greet her and said respectfully.

"Yeah!" Wei Ning'er nodded slightly, then returned to the bedroom, had breakfast, washed and dressed neatly, and then went to the Queen's place to pay her respects. Unexpectedly, at the door, she met Aunt Lumo who was beside the Queen Mother.

"May your concubine be blessed!" Lu Mo bowed slightly and said hello.

"Auntie, please wake up. I wonder why auntie is here?" Wei Ning'er was always polite to the people around the Queen Mother.

"Your Majesty, I have obeyed the Queen Mother's order and asked your Majesty to go to Songhe Zhai!" Lu Mo said respectfully.

"Thank you Auntie, I'll go right away!" Wei Ning'er nodded slightly and followed Lu Mo to Songhe Zhai.

When they arrived at Songhe Zhai, Wei Ning'er was surprised to find that everyone in the harem except the queen had arrived, and she immediately performed a blessing.

"May the Queen Mother be blessed!"

The Queen Mother, however, was minding her own business talking to Concubine Xian beside her. She did not even look at Wei Ning'er, nor did she ask her to stand up, leaving her to bend her knees and remain polite.

After a while, Wei Ning'er's legs began to tremble, but she did not even frown, her face remained as usual, with a faint smile.

But there was a storm in her heart... Why did the Queen Mother make things difficult for her? She asked herself that she had never done anything inappropriate to let the Queen Mother take advantage of it.

Just when she was about to lose her strength, the eunuch's voice came from outside.

"The Queen is here!"

"May the Queen be blessed!" Concubine Xian, Concubine Jia and others immediately stood up to say hello.

"Sisters, there is no need to be polite!" The queen had a smile on her face. However, when she saw Wei Ning'er bending her knees and saluting, her eyes shrank sharply, and then she immediately moved away. She took a step forward and said, "I wish you the best of luck to the emperor."

!”

The Queen Mother did not scream, but slowly picked up the tea cup and said to Concubine Xian beside her: "Concubine Xian is the most thoughtful. She knows that when the weather is hot in the Ai family, she will be weak and cannot eat anything that is too cold, so she specially brewed it.

I brought some honey tea for the Ai family to drink."

The Queen was shocked. Yesterday she happened to give the Queen Mother some good chrysanthemum tea. The chrysanthemums were a bit cold. Could it be that the Queen Mother wanted to take advantage of this to cause trouble, rather than to attend her bed yesterday?

Although Wei Ning'er's legs were weak, her heart sank when she saw that the Queen in front of her was still restrained and the Queen Mother did not ask her to stand up. The Queen Mother was pregnant but she could not withstand the torment.

"Huang'e Niang, the little tribute chrysanthemum sent by my concubine to Huang's Niang yesterday was not meant to be soaked in water to drink." After pondering for a moment, the queen whispered.

The Queen Mother looked at the Queen calmly and said with a smile: "Oh, what is that for?"

After all, the Queen Mother has never felt sorry for the Empress in all these years. This scene at this time actually shocked Concubine Jia and others beside her, and they became silent, and no one dared to speak.

"To inform the Emperor's mother, my concubine's original intention is to let the slaves put the tribute chrysanthemums in their purses and place them on the bed with the Emperor's mother. The fragrance of the chrysanthemums can soothe the mind and brighten the eyes!" the queen said with a smile.

, her legs began to tremble, and Wei Ning'er behind her was sweating profusely.

But Wei Ning'er was even more worried about the Queen at this time.

"Well, the queen's idea is quite clever." The queen mother nodded slightly, but was a little surprised and said: "Why are you still so formal? There are so many rules in the palace. Chu Xia, why don't you help your master to get up!"

"Yes!" Chu Xia breathed a sigh of relief and helped the queen up.

"My concubine, please get up too. Look at the eyes of the Ai family. I am surprised that I didn't see you standing behind the queen!" The Queen Mother's cold and ruthless voice sounded like fairy music to Wei Ning'er.

But at this time, she had no feeling in her legs. With the help of Bingruo and Qingyan, she limped to the side and sat next to Concubine Jia.

Concubine Jia looked at Wei Ning'er and hesitated to speak, but she did not dare to speak in front of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother glanced at everyone, then turned her gaze to the Queen, and said with a smile: "The Queen looks quite good today."

Hearing this, the queen was about to reply, but the queen mother said again: "Concubine Xian, on the other hand, is getting worse and worse, which makes the Ai family worried."

"Concubine Xian's sister is indeed not looking very well today, but the cold has not healed?" the queen asked calmly.

Concubine Xian's slightly pale face, even if it was covered with rouge and gouache, could not hide her haggardness.

"I'm sorry, the Queen is worried. I have already recovered from the cold." Concubine Xian's smile was a little forced.

"That's because I didn't sleep well last night. My sister can ask the imperial doctor to prescribe some soothing medicine, which will definitely alleviate the problem!" the queen said with a smile.

"Yes!" Concubine Xian's face stiffened and she responded immediately.

However, the Queen Mother's face darkened, she frowned slightly as she looked at the Queen, and said in a cold voice: "As long as you don't interfere with this, Queen, how can Concubine Xian sleep uneasily? There is no need to invite an imperial doctor or drink decoction."

"What does the Queen Mother mean by this? I have never done anything untoward to Concubine Xian!" The Queen was shocked, looking at the Queen Mother, her face turned slightly pale.

"Really?" A gleam flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes: "Yesterday, the Ai family saw that Concubine Xian was recovering from a serious illness, and she looked a little sad, so they asked the emperor to accompany her. Unexpectedly, you actually asked your concubine to sleep with her.

You forcefully blocked the emperor in the palace, causing Concubine Xian to stay up all night. As a queen, are you so intolerant of others being favored? Is it possible that you are unwell and cannot serve the emperor, and you have to let the people around you

Go and dominate the emperor. It is in vain that the Ai family has always thought that you are a rare and virtuous queen, but you have let the Ai family down so much."

When Wei Ning'er heard this, she immediately understood why the Queen Mother had made things difficult for her and the queen. It turned out that the emperor was going to see Concubine Xian yesterday. Thinking about the grudge between Concubine Xian and herself, Wei Ning'er was shocked. Looking at the queen, her palms suddenly froze.

Breaking into a thin sweat.

"The emperor's mother misunderstood me. I was unwell yesterday and could not serve the emperor. Before he left, the emperor said that he would rest in the Yanbo Zhishuang Palace at night when he was busy with government affairs. Later, I thought about it. There must always be someone by the emperor's side to serve him.

It's good, it happened that my concubine came to pay my respects to me, so I ordered her to go, but I didn't know that Huang Niang asked the emperor to go to Concubine Xian, and Huang Niang was asked to take a look!" The queen stood up and trembled.

vocal tract.

The Queen Mother didn't believe it, and sneered: "As a queen, is it possible that you don't know about the goings-on in the palace? The Ai family looks at you because Concubine Xian has always been unfavorable, so they don't take her seriously."

When the queen heard this, she trembled all over, and tears welled up in her eyes: "Empress, my concubine, ever since she entered the royal palace and married the emperor, she has warned her every day not to be even remotely jealous of the people around the emperor.

, In these years, I have been running the palace and the harem has never disappointed the Emperor and the Emperor. Today, the Emperor said that I hate Concubine Xian, which really makes me feel a little chilled. I know that the Emperor has always preferred Xian.

My concubine, I don’t like my concubine very much, but even so, I have always been very respectful to you, the emperor’s mother, and I also love my sister, Concubine Xian.”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she felt an unknown anger rising from her heart, and said sternly: "What the Queen means is that the Ai family prefers Concubine Xian and deliberately targets you? As a Queen, you actually said such ignorant words

If you go forward or retreat, you are jealous of Concubine Xian. The Ai family has always treated you equally, but you said this, which makes the Ai family feel even more chilled."

"Empress, I don't mean this!" the queen said urgently.

"That's enough. The Ai family has seen that over the years, you have taken advantage of your family background and the favor of the emperor to ignore the Ai family more and more, and dare to speak rudely. The Ai family is really angry.

Concubine, knowing that the emperor was going to Concubine Xian’s palace yesterday, he actually dressed up like that to charm the emperor, just to make the harem uneasy, so you all go kneel outside for the Aijia! The Aijia must establish rules today!"

The Queen Mother was furious and punished him severely.

"The Queen Mother!" Wei Ning'er suddenly became anxious. It doesn't matter if she is punished, but how can the Queen Mother kneel outside? If the dragon fetus in the Queen Mother's belly is good or bad, then something big will happen.

"My concubine has received the decree, and I would like to thank the Emperor's mother for your instruction!" The queen was slightly blessed and went out with Chu Xia's support.
