[Read the full text of the first novel with no mistakes, 69 Book Bar-www., your best choice!]

"My concubine, please give your regards to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be happy."

Above the main hall, except for the Queen Mother, who was sitting in the high hall, the other juniors all stood up and stood on the side of the chairs when the Imperial Concubine walked in.

The imperial concubine bowed respectfully, and behind her, the servants who came with her also knelt down outside the door. The two women waiting beside her also knelt down and lay down behind the imperial concubine. If you didn't pay attention, you would still be there.

I really can't tell that the two women don't have the same attire, and even their salutes are different.

One is the salute of a female official, the other is the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers.

Ling Zihan seemed to have noticed, or in other words, she felt that the figure of the woman who was performing the courtesy of a monarch and a minister looked familiar, so she reached out and touched Xuanyuan Huang, who was nearest to her, and signaled with her eyes. But the little fox squatting on her shoulder

, after breathing evenly, he hummed again, turned his face away and approached her ear, rubbing it as if intimately for a few times, but at that time he whispered: "Mu family?"

Do you know Zi Qi?

Ling Zihan remained calm and glanced at the woman lying on the ground again, and saw that there seemed to be something wrong with her shoulder. She suddenly remembered that when Xuanyuan Huang pushed Mu Jiaxiang away last night, the woman's shoulder hit her behind.

The axle was probably injured.

Humph, you deserve it!

Ling Zihan was almost certain that the woman on the ground was Mu Jiaxiang.

She came at the right time.

His eyes glanced at the one kneeling at the front, the imperial concubine who was wearing a brocade robe and a phoenix shirt, boldly using the Nine Phoenix Chaoyang Group, and there was a cold look on the corner of her mouth. This imperial concubine was a little too ostentatious, and she was afraid that she would fall out of favor.

That day is not far away. However, those dirty things in the harem are originally

It has nothing to do with her, but the emperor's concubine's purpose for coming here is probably related to her, and once this relationship becomes attached, it will easily involve her in the dirty muddy water. In this case, she will

I have to take precautions, and I won't break the rules set by the master.

In the quiet hall, if a pin were dropped, one would be able to clearly hear where it fell.

The Queen Mother is here, drinking tea leisurely.

After putting down the tea bowl, he turned his gaze directly below.

On the soft carpet, the imperial concubine felt a little guilty and did not dare to raise her head without permission. Secondly, she estimated that the emperor respected the queen mother. Although the queen mother no longer had the support of her family behind her, she was not someone she could offend casually.

As time passed by, the Queen Mother's narrow phoenix eyes glanced over the imperial concubine's head, and then she glanced at the two women behind her and hummed: "Get up."

"Thank you, Queen Mother." The imperial concubine stood up hurriedly and glanced back at Mei'er, the female officer who stepped forward to help her. Mei'er nodded slightly, picked up the tray and walked up with Mu Jiaxiang, "I heard about the Queen Mother a few days ago.

I'm a little bit cold, but luckily, my father sent a pair of thousand-year-old wild ginseng yesterday. I borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha, so I brought them to you. I hope the Queen Mother will accept them."

The Queen Mother did not move when she sat down, and the Imperial Concubine did not dare to take the next risky move, so she stretched out her hand to take it from Mei'er, then handed it to her, "Take a look, Queen Mother, do you like it?"

Wild ginseng is still a thousand years old!

The image of a ginseng doll immediately came to Ling Zihan's mind. If the current situation didn't allow it, she might have laughed out of her own imagination.

To her, what is the concept of this thousand-year-old wild ginseng? It is the king of the kings of herbs, that is, the king of ginseng. The production of this wild ginseng is scarce, and it can be found occasionally in the Changbai Mountains and the Xiaoxinganling area. It can be said that it is rare.

It's so precious. And the concept of a thousand years is not just about physical form, it may also have human nature and become a spirit.

Because of the profession inherited from her family in her previous life, she also knows a lot about herbal medicine, and this king of traditional Chinese medicine will not be left behind. She is familiar with the fact that wild ginseng grows very slowly in the mountains. Wild ginseng grows slowly in sixty to one hundred years.

It only weighs a few dozen grams. In my memory, the Ginseng King acquired as a national treasure was only five hundred years old and weighed more than three hundred grams.

But at this moment, the imperial concubine made a pair as soon as she made a move. It was like placing two small golden mountains in front of the Queen Mother.

Really generous.

But the Queen Mother didn't seem to buy it, and continued to drink tea without raising her eyes. Only Aunt Gui Fang, who was waiting next to her, winked at Sui'er, and Sui'er then walked down the steps and took the box from the tray.

He presented it to the Queen Mother and unfolded it. The Queen Mother squinted her eyes, but was not attracted by the "golden mountain" at all. She waved her hand briefly and sent Sui'er down.

The imperial concubine clenched her fist slightly. If she hadn't been rolling around in the palace for so many years, her expression would have changed long ago.

Looking at Mu Jiaxiang next to her is a perfect example.

"It's so lively here, Queen Mother."

"My son (my daughter-in-law) has met my mother and concubine."

Before the imperial concubine could look at her, Xuanyuan Huang and Ji Ling Zihan turned to her slightly and saluted her. However, due to their status, they only held hands lightly, not like ordinary sons and daughters-in-law would do when meeting their mother.

, need to pay filial piety and bow.

Mu Jiaxiang, who was on the side, didn't understand the mystery. She looked over with a slightly provocative look, vaguely proud, as if she thought that Ling Zihan would be blamed by her aunt if she performed the wrong ceremony. She was thinking to herself, the Queen Mother is here now, if

After understanding the mistake, Ling Zihan had no intention of flouting the legislation in front of the Queen Mother, and her guilt was confirmed, and no one could protect her.

But she never thought that the imperial concubine would actually reach out her hand and help Ling Zihan up, "This is absolutely impossible, Han'er, I can't stand your worship!" The imperial concubine's eyes fell on the emerald flute. At this moment,

, this thing is like a thorn in her heart. She can't pull it out or cut it off. She can only watch where it sticks and arrogantly laugh at her helplessness.

"The mother-in-law is very considerate." Ling Zihan said politely, stroking the body of the jade flute, looking at the imperial concubine with a half-smiling look, then passed her face and looked at Xuanyuan Huang,

Smile slightly.

At this moment, the Crown Prince raised his eyebrows when he offered his hand to the imperial concubine as a courtesy. He turned to Xuanyuan Qian who had just finished the ceremony and said with a meaningful smile: "Speaking of which, the jade flute on the ninth brother and sister,

It still has some origins. I heard that this jade flute was carved from a whole piece of jade brought back from the Fairy Mountain by a Taoist priest. It is extremely spiritual. If it is not a predestined person, it will not make any sound when played. According to legend, this jade flute is very spiritual.

The things were once a pair, a flute and a flute, which were given to a man and a woman respectively by the Taoist priest. The man and the woman finally got married, fulfilling the names given by the Taoist priest to the two flutes and Xiao. And this flute

Later

After many twists and turns, it entered the palace, and now it is in the hands of the nine younger brothers and sisters. Unfortunately, the flute has disappeared. However, more than ten years ago, I was lucky enough to hear this flute and flute ensemble, and by chance, it was also a man and a woman. "

Xuanyuan Qian remained calm, with a gentle and gentle smile on his face. His hands that were originally clasped behind his back were now cupped in front of his chest, and he cupped his hands and said: "My brother has never heard of it. If there really is such a flute, my ninth brother should have done it earlier."

Come here and play a song with your nine brothers and sisters, so that the brothers can also enjoy it." After saying that, Xuanyuan Qian turned to the Queen Mother and bowed deeply to her, "Queen Mother, do you think this is true?"

With a kind smile on her lips, the Queen Mother raised her hand slightly and said humbly: "The Prince's words have made the Ai family a little jealous. If we can really find this pair, we really want to hear it again."

The Queen Mother used the word "Zai", and it seemed that she had heard it before.

But the prince may have been in a high position for a long time and did not pay attention to these small things. It seemed that because he had won the favor of the queen mother, he even said quite proudly: "What a coincidence, when my grandson heard the music more than ten years ago, he saw

The people who played the music are none other than Madam Guo, the mother of the nine brothers and sisters, and Mr. Zichen, the Imperial Preceptor. However, it seems that the flute did not belong to the Imperial Preceptor, but was brought into the palace by the late Concubine Xian."

Hearing this, Ling Zihan's heart skipped a beat, as if a string had tightened. But she had been wandering in the world for many years, and she was still good at showing off. At the moment, since the prince loves to show off, why don't she just let it go?

If he shows off more, he can at least dig out some more practical proof from his mouth, instead of just making false claims.

So, he made a look of great disbelief and said: "It seems that this flute really cannot be found. It was originally owned by Princess Xian and Mrs. Guo. It cannot be said that they are in love with each other. Prince, what do you think?

Woolen cloth?"

The prince's eyes darkened slightly, but he still had a smile on his face and said: "That's just what I said. As for whether this should come true, the ninth younger brother and sister might as well ask the imperial master to find the flute... I can't say, Princess Xian gave the flute as a gift.

Where is the Imperial Master!"

There was that half-smiling look again, and she was talking about catching winds and shadows, but Ling Zihan's heart was spinning again and again because of this. She always felt that the prince seemed to know something, and the meaning of saying this seemed to be hinting to Xuanyuan Qian,

It seemed like he was jokingly exposing one of the most shameful scandals among the nobles.

It just means that Mingzhu and Zichen have an affair, but the last sentence seems to say that between Princess Xian and Zichen... wrong! Ling Zihan suddenly thought of it. Before, the prince looked at Xuanyuan Qian and said

Yes, does the prince know that Xuanyuan Qian is not the son of Emperor Chen, but the child of the wise king?

Ling Zihan was shocked, and she suddenly regretted it. She was so busy thinking about things that she didn't notice the changes in Xuanyuan Qian. She secretly muttered in her heart, could it be that Xuanyuan Qian already knew about it? What Zi Qi said was not false.

All true?

The same unknown thoughts are still hidden in the hearts of the empress dowager, Xuanyuan Huang, and Xuanyuan Qian. Even the imperial concubine will think about the prince's words no matter what, but that kind of thinking cannot be compared with the things hidden in their hearts.

And words.

After being quiet for a moment, the Queen Mother, who had calmed down, glanced at the Prince without leaving any trace, her eyes paused for a moment, then turned her eyes away, and said unhurriedly: "Okay, okay, don't worry about this invisible thing.

Let’s talk again. Let’s sit down and talk.” After a brief glance, Gui Fang immediately walked away. Within a moment, she came forward with a row of pink-clad palace maids to serve or exchange tea for those present.

The Queen Mother promptly stopped the conversation and seemed to have no intention of continuing. However, I believe that anyone with a little experience can feel that there is a little deliberateness in this easygoingness. She deliberately stopped the conversation, or in other words, she was hiding something.

, and don’t want to mention that past event.

Everyone understood this tacitly and stopped talking.

After everyone in the palace had gone down, the Queen Mother looked at the Prince again and said: "Prince, if you focus more on political affairs, your father would not have to worry so much."

The prince was startled, but before he could answer the question, the queen mother had already continued: "Yesterday, your mother came to express her feelings again. The emperor was angry, but you didn't try to persuade your mother to stop being too eager for quick success.

Hey, you’re not young anymore, so you should change that problem!”

The prince was stunned again, and then knelt down and said, "My grandson is guilty." Is the queen mother confused, or is she reminding him of something? The queen mother is now in the cold palace. Although he is also in the palace, he has no father's handwriting.

I can't go to the cold palace to see you. Don't talk about admonition, just

He wanted to send a message, but it was not as convenient as before. What's more, he was still in the cautious inspection stage. He was deeply afraid of upsetting his father. Even if he was careful, he had to consider his mother's future, so he had to think twice.

Okay, leave a way out for yourself and your mother.

The Queen Mother sighed: "Yesterday, the Emperor also mentioned to the Yi family that the Queen's various things... that's all, let's not talk about this." The Queen Mother took the tea handed by Gui Fang, took a sip, and glanced at the imperial concubine beside her.

He raised his eyes, then half-squinted his eyes again, slightly took away the teacup, and asked doubtfully: "Hey, who is this...?"

The imperial concubine finally found a step and hurriedly stood up: "Go back to the Queen Mother, this is my concubine's niece." After a pause, she looked panicked, changed her body and knelt down, eyebrows originally standing behind her
