"You are obedient." The queen smiled meaningfully.

Rong Jingqiu smiled virtuously. The Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues are one of the cornerstones of the operation of this society. Even the queen cannot say this wrong, so she, who is on the commanding heights of the truth, does not need to bother with the queen too much.

Sure enough, the topic passed, and the queen asked about other trivial matters again. Then she didn't know why the topic was turned on her sister-in-law Rong Ma, and then she talked about Ma Shengping who had just entered Beijing.

Rong Jingqiu narrowed her eyes slightly, and she had some conspiracy in her heart. The Queen's Ambition was not with her, nor was it Zhao Yu, but the Ma family.

By the way, Xiao Ling from the Xiao family also came to Beijing at the same time. I heard that Ma Shengping was escorting him along the way, so the person was placed in Fengming Palace. However, she did not attend this time's greeting. If the queen had not mentioned the Ma family, she might have not noticed Xiao Ling.

Her heart gradually became alert. What exactly did the queen want to do?

The Xiao and Ma families are both generals who are leading troops outside. One is about to be the prince's father-in-law, and the other is able to get in touch with the prince. Does the queen want to tie these two people completely to the prince's chariot?

Will the emperor in the palace allow it?

Surely not, otherwise Da Qiansui would not marry the Yan family girl as his stepwife. The Fourth Prince Yan was so guilty of assassinating the prince of the current dynasty, but he only killed himself. The Yan family eventually completely cut off his bride, and the emperor was saved.

The prince should not touch the line of defense in the capital. Another thing is that Zhao Yu entered the Ministry of Works, while the Seventh Prince, a man from the Thousand Years, went to the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Revenue manages money and grain. This is where the Ministry of War can get stuck. What can I do if I don’t have money and grain to fight?

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell what it means. There are many shadows in the queen's glory, so it is not surprising that she has some ideas.

But such a fight is best not to be involved in the Rong family or the Ma family. To deny that he did not earn any money from Long Zhifu, he may end up capsizing in the gutter. In her eyes, the prince or the queen are all losers in this battle against imperial power.

So, she smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of the Empress laughing. I really don't know what happened to my daughter-in-law and my daughter-in-law. However, my daughter-in-law's brother has been transferred, and the couple will set off to take office soon. I'm afraid that my daughter-in-law will not see them for many years." Finally, she sighed in disappointment.

The queen's face almost cracked, she was only interested in Ma Shengping. As for Rong Ma, it was just a useless person. The influence of a daughter cannot be compared with the eldest son, even if she is favored.

"Then you, as a sister-in-law, have to share the burden for your sister-in-law. Her eldest brother is also required to take care of his daily life in Beijing. This time he did not bring his family to him. How could a big man be careful?"

"Empress, isn't this good? Why don't even even my daughter-in-law care about my brother-in-law?"

"Why can't you control it? It's better to give a few capable maids than anything else."

The queen pushed the tea made by Madam Yan into Rong Jingqiu and finally expressed her intention.

Rong Jingqiu looked at the fragrant tea in front of her and wanted to use her hand to arrange someone to Ma Shengping. If something happens in the future, Zhao Yu and her will take the thunder. It has nothing to do with her, the lord of the central palace, and even more so, the prince will not be able to fight with the prince.

"Is this tea not good?" the queen said with a smile.

Rong Jingqiu hurriedly got up and knelt down and said, "Grandmaster, I am sorry for my crime. My daughter-in-law has had a severe abdominal pain recently. The doctor said that it is probably caused by coldness and told me to avoid cold things during this period. Therefore, although the tea of ​​the girl is good, my daughter-in-law has no luck to get rid of it..."

Before she could finish her words, the queen suddenly stood up, and the movement under her body was turned over. Rong Jingqiu didn't say it anymore.

In her previous life, Ma Shengping did not enter Beijing. For the queen, she was just a wife married by the concubine's son whom she didn't like. She had eaten a lot of her lead, so she was not surprised by the queen's sudden turn against her.

Nothing said at this moment was useless. She could only hope that the movement in the room could be heard by Xiao Douzi outside and went to bring rescue soldiers cleverly.

The queen walked slowly towards Rong Jingqiu, looking at the young woman kneeling at her feet, her mouth was pursed unhappy, and after a while, she sneered coldly, "You are so brave, you dare to reply to me like this."

"My daughter-in-law dare not." Rong Jingqiu said hurriedly.

"I really don't eat the toast and punish the wine. Zhao Yu still needs to rely on my son. You are so sorry, I'm going to stop it. Do you really think your ninth prince's concubine is irreplaceable?"

"My daughter-in-law has never thought so. Please give me a glimpse of the queen."

When the queen saw Rong Jingqiu still singing to her, she suddenly became even more angry. She hated anyone who dared not to act according to her orders.

"You kneel here and reflect carefully, I am waiting for you to change your mind."

After the queen finished speaking, she lifted her foot and left.

After a while, Rong Jingqiu slowly looked up. She did not regret rejecting the queen. The queen wanted to arrange people to win over Ma Shengping. She could use other channels, but she couldn't get through it here and she couldn't harm everyone.

The trick of kneeling again was really not new. She thought in pain that she was not punished. She thought she would not be punished, otherwise what would happen? It seems that she couldn't do it, after all, the queen has never allowed her to refuse her.

Fortunately, the weather has warmed up a lot, and it is no longer the cold spring season, otherwise her legs would have suffered.

Madam Yan packed up the tea set and looked at Rong Jingqiu sympathetically, but she was just a powerless and powerless woman, and she couldn't help the little girl, and she couldn't even inform her.

Rong Jingqiu seemed to see through Madam Yan’s thoughts, so she moved, but soon set off to kneel again and smiled, "I'm fine."

Madam Yan looked at the eunuch outside and saw that no one was looking over, so she took the opportunity to come to her and whispered, "Ninth Princess, I can't help you, but I'll find an opportunity to let you loosen your legs a minute later."

"Madam..." Rong Jingqiu didn't expect her to say so, and she hurriedly wanted to refuse. It was not that she was noble and did not want to be helped by others, but that Madam Yan did this, and once she was discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"There is only so much that I can do." Madam Yan sighed. No matter how much she is, she is powerless.

Rong Jingqiu didn't say anything this time, so she could only accept Madam Yan's kindness and would repay her if she had the chance in the future.

Many years later, Madam Yan, who was in her prime, recalled this experience and couldn't help but sigh that this kind of good deed would result in good results, otherwise she would not have been old and enjoyed a happy life.

Mei'er and Hongshang were detained, but Xiao Douzi, who had not followed him too tightly, was smart and stepped forward. At this time, he didn't care about wiping the sweat on his forehead, but rushed to the East Palace to find his own highness. He was sure that he had heard the loud noise wrong.

No matter whether there is any mistake or not, I have never seen the princess come out, so something must have happened.

Feng Debao Zheng kept a secret talk with his elder brother Feng Shuang, but when he saw Xiao Douzi who was so angry that he ran away, he said unhappy, "What kind of decency do you have? That's how our family teaches you?"

"Godfather, hurry up...go in and report...to the master...the prince...the concubine's place...there is something happening..."

"It's vague, you can breathe well before talking. Who can hear clearly what you are talking about?" Feng Debao said impatiently.

If you don't hear it clearly, you can guess that Rong Jingqiu must be the one you said, but he was worried that he couldn't deal with this arrogant prince's concubine. Now that someone is willing to teach her a lesson, why should he rush to bring reinforcements for her? Let her suffer some money and get some interest.

Feng Shuangbao, who was standing beside him, had already frowned with sparse dry eyebrows. When he saw Feng Debao, he knew that he was full of bad water now, so he whispered, "Are you afraid of angering your master if you do this?"

Feng Debao lowered his voice and said, "Brother Gang, don't worry, I know this. I have to stretch this kid, otherwise your nephew's tail will go to heaven."

Don't think that he didn't know that when Madam Dou broke into a new house to make trouble last time, this little Douzi secretly informed him and invited Princess Qinglan. He had long disliked him for what he had done with inside and outside. But the master now had to use him and he couldn't turn his back on him.

Xiao Douzi looked at Feng Debao and Feng Shuangbao, two fat and thin eunuchs, and whispered there. He was really anxious now. If he was late, he wouldn't know if the princess could hold on?

He wanted to cling to Rong Jingqiu and even serve his future little master, but he really had a good impression of Rong Jingqiu. This woman who never looked down on him sometimes made him feel that he had dignity in front of her. With this, he was willing to work hard to her.

Without caring about the superiority and inferiority, he suddenly shouted, "Your Highness Ninth Prince, the Ninth Prince's Concubine... Something happened..."

When Feng Debao heard the shout, he rushed up and covered Xiao Douzi's mouth and said sternly, "What are you doing?"

But Xiao Douzi opened his mouth and bit Feng Debao's hand regardless. As soon as he saw the opportunity, he shouted again, "Nine..."

The door was suddenly pushed open by someone inside, and then Zhao Yu, who was eager to come out, "Feng Debao, what are you doing?"

Feng Debao was so scared that he knelt down quickly, "Your Highness, this kid is yelling, the old slave may disturb Your Highness, so he has to cover his mouth..."

But Xiao Douzi pushed Feng Debao away, staggered and ran forward, crying and said, "Your Highness, something happened to the princess, go... save her..."

As soon as these words were said, Zhao Yu's already changed expression instantly solemn.

The prince rushed out from behind, and in addition to the staff of the East Palace, they were obviously discussing the matter just now, but now it seems that they are obviously disturbed.

Prince Zhao Chu glanced at Zhao Yu, then frowned and looked at Xiao Douzi who was crying in disgrace, "What are you, the little eunuch, in Hu Qin?"

Zhao Yu turned his head to look at the prince, "Fifth brother, today is the first day of the New Year, and it is the day to pay tribute to the Empress."

In one sentence, the prince frowned. Could it be that the mother's mother had caused trouble again?

Seeing that his ninth brother had left everything and rushed to Fengming Palace, he turned to look at the unknown people, "Split up the meeting first."

Then he quickly caught up with Zhao Yu in front of him. What kind of temperament is his mother? As a son, he knew very well. If he didn't get over, he would be afraid that there would be a conflict, so he rubbed his eyebrows. Can't the mother stop calming?

Zhao Yu rushed to Fengming Palace as fast as possible. At this moment, the aura around him made the servants of Fengming Palace dare not stop him, so they could only run in and report that the ninth prince was not good.

The queen was waiting for the skin on her face by the palace maid. When she heard the report, she turned over and sat up, kicked her to the low table. When she heard the "crackling" sound of falling to the ground, she swept her eyes and cursed, "A bunch of waste."

The palace maids and eunuchs were so scared that they knelt down quickly and didn't dare to raise their heads.

Just when she changed her coat and rushed to the corridor where Zheng Rong Jingqiu knelt, Zhao Yu happened to have arrived. Rong Jingqiu, who was rubbing her legs secretly, saw the queen coming in a hurry, and she quickly knelt down and didn't dare to make small moves. But soon she saw Zhao Yu who was running over again, and her heart couldn't help but tighten.

Zhao Yu hurriedly looked at Rong Jingqiu. Rong Jingqiu shook her head secretly and said that she is in good condition now. In fact, she hasn't kneeled for long, and her legs are just a little numb. She hasn't reached the point of soreness or even unconsciousness. This is much lighter than the punishment for kneeling in her previous life.

Zhao Yu was relieved at this moment, and saw him bowing his hand and saying coldly to the queen, "Dare you ask the queen, what mistake did your wife make, and you need such punishment?"

"Disobedience is the crime?" the queen said with a sarcastic smile.

If you want to inflict a crime, why not worry about it?

No matter how you ask, the queen will always have a lot of reasons, not to mention that Zhao Yu is both a minister and a son, and he cannot openly fight against the queen in terms of law or family.

So he walked to Rong Jingqiu and knelt directly beside her. When he saw the queen's shocked expression, he said expressionlessly, "Since my wife has made a mistake, my son will be punished on her behalf. She is delicate and asks the queen to be tolerant and allow her to get up."

"Zhao Yu, are you here to go against me openly, aren't you?" the queen roared.

"My son dare not."

The queen pointed at Zhao Yu and gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, okay, don't think that I dare not punish you. Since I want to kneel so much, then I will fulfill your wishes. You and your wife will kneel together."

Is this quite unreasonable?

Whether it is Zhao Yu or Rong Jingqiu, it is not surprising to the Queen's actions.

Zhao Yu turned his head to look at Rong Jingqiu and said silently, "Don't be afraid."

Rong Jingqiu's eyes lit up. Is this a sign that there is still a backup plan?
