The little palace maid walked over honestly, "Niangniang, please command." ”

"You go to the vicinity of Kunning Palace and inquire about it, and see what the situation is over there."

Concubine Li Xian said, afraid that people would think that she was peeping at the queen, and added, "Before entering the palace, I was a close friend of the queen mother, and I was familiar with the old lady and the eldest lady. When they entered the palace today, the palace wanted to watch them go over to say goodbye before leaving. ”

The little palace maid didn't think so much, and when she heard this, she said: "Niangniang is really a kind person, the slave maid will go and inquire." ”

With that, he walked out.

Concubine Li Xian took a deep breath, her face gloomy.

In Kunning Palace, Yuanzhi is ordering Xiao Kiko to pour wine for the old lady, "This is a newly brewed fruit wine in the palace, the wine is very shallow, the entrance is sweet and sour, and the queen mother also loves to drink." ”

Hearing that it was the queen mother's favorite wine, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou both wanted to taste it.

At this moment, more than halfway through the banquet, they are no longer as restrained as they were at the beginning, and they also know that the emperor is a very polite junior.

He not only often asked the little eunuch to persuade them to drink and serve food, but also poured a glass of wine for Queen Zhou.

Queen Zhou drank lightly, and her face turned red after drinking a glass, she was in a particularly good mood today, "The emperor also drinks a glass to get rid of sourness." ”

"Okay."

Yuan Zhi picked up the wine cup and took a shallow sip.

In front of them, the emperor and his wife were very harmonious, and Mrs. Zhou was very satisfied.

……

"Niangniang, Kunning Palace is going to disperse."

The little palace maid hurried back to Changchun Palace to report the news, but she didn't want Concubine Li Xian to go out, but she was still wearing homely clothes, and her hair was not combed separately.

The little palace maid was a little surprised.

Concubine Li Xian didn't care about her thoughts, and only said, "Is the emperor also gone?" ”

"No, the emperor hasn't left yet......"

obviously said that he was going to greet the old lady and the eldest lady, but it was the emperor who asked, and the little palace maid reacted a little.

Concubine Li Xian frowned slightly, "Can I hear the news, how is the emperor feeling when he eats with Mrs. Zhou and them today?" ”

The little palace maid said: "I heard that the emperor is in a good mood after the morning court today, and the same is true in Kunning Palace." When Mrs. Zhou and the two left, they couldn't hide the smile on their faces. The two old ladies and ladies are the most dignified and dignified, so they can't hide their smiles, I think the emperor must respect them, right? ”

This is not the answer that Concubine Li Xianfei wants to hear.

She asked again without giving up, "The emperor hasn't left yet, what are you doing in Kunning Palace?" ”

Little palace maid: "......"

This question is too intimidating, she is a little palace maid, where can she find out what the emperor is doing in Kunning Palace?

Seeing that she didn't answer, Concubine Li Xian also realized the abruptness of her problem, and said casually: "This palace is suddenly a little unhappy, and I can't go out to meet the old lady." Fortunately, there is always a time for them to enter the palace next time, and the future will be long. ”

The little palace maid responded, "Yes, as the queen's mother, the mother's family can often enter the palace to ask for peace, unlike the concubine, the mother's family wants to enter the palace to ask for peace, and they have to hand over the fold to the queen's mother to ask for ......."

Concubine Li Xian's face became more and more difficult to look at.

The little palace maid regretted her words, and hurriedly covered her mouth and withdrew.

……

On this day, Yuanzhi was in Kunning Palace all day.

He ordered someone to send the excerpt to Kunning Palace for approval, and Queen Zhou was on the side to polish the ink for him, there were not many excerpts, and Yuanzhi was not in a hurry, so he asked Queen Zhou to write a few words on a whim.

Queen Zhou couldn't refuse, and wrote a few words casually, and the handwriting was unexpectedly beautiful.

The two discussed the question of who they learned to write, until they were a child, what books they read, and who they studied with, and then they realized that they had similar views on many classics.

Immediately hit it off.

Later, I chatted and talked about the book, "The queen mother likes to read the book, and it is disrespectful, when I was a child, I always felt that people who loved to read the book were superficial and vulgar." But the queen mother is different, she is well-read, has poetry and books, no matter what she reads, it makes people feel simple and unpretentious, vulgar and elegant. ”

"So the emperor also read the book later?"

Empress Zhou teased him with a smile, and Yuan Zhi said, "How do you know?" ”

Empress Zhou's face was slightly red, "The concubine saw it on the bookshelf of the Qianqing Palace, and flipped through it casually, there are indeed some interesting things in it, and there are some warnings to the world." Don't hide it from the emperor, the concubine also saw it at the queen mother, and when she returned to the house, she ordered someone to go to the people to collect these words. ”

Imagining the scene in Empress Zhou's words, Yuan Zhi couldn't help but laugh, "You are everyone's lady, send someone to buy those vulgar books, didn't your grandmother and mother reprimand you?" ”

Empress Zhou was rarely playful, and the tip of her tongue spit slightly, "I said that I learned it from the Queen Mother, how dare my grandmother and mother stop it?" ”

They both laughed.

Until it was almost dark, the two were still chatting proudly.

Empress Zhou glanced out the window and couldn't help but say, "It's almost dark, where is the emperor going to rest tonight?" It's time to prepare. ”

Yuan Zhi looked at her strangely, "Isn't it okay to rest in Kunning Palace?" ”

"Naturally."

Queen Zhou said euphemistically: "But all the concubines have been in the palace for several days, and the emperor not only did not have a chance, but he didn't even go to their palace to take a look." The concubines were only afraid that the people of the harem would be resentful, and asked the emperor to wet the rain and dew. ”

This is what a typical rhetoric of being a queen.

It sounds dignified and thoughtful to be blameless, but Yuanzhi doesn't like it a little, and he always feels hypocritical.

He said, "I'm going somewhere else, aren't you annoyed?" ”

"Don't be annoyed."

Empress Zhou raised her head and saw Yuan Zhi's eyebrows frowning slightly.

She immediately smiled and said, "The concubine knows that the emperor has a concubine in his heart, and that is enough." The concubine is the queen, and she will not compete with the concubines to be jealous, nor will she control the emperor's favored concubines. ”

Saying this, Motoji laughed again.

Empress Zhou was kind, and he couldn't live up to it, so he said: "Then according to you, which concubine should I go to?" ”

"The emperor can go wherever he likes, how can he ask his concubines?"

Queen Zhou said, unconsciously revealing vinegar.

Yuan Zhi looked at it more and more, and said: "Then go to Zhao Guiren, according to the position, she is in front of the two Chang, it's not good to go to Chuxiu Palace to cross her, go to the two Chang there first." ”

"Chuxiu Palace is indeed headed by Sister Zhao."

Empress Zhou hesitated a little and said, "But in addition to Chuxiu Palace, there is also Changchun Palace." Concubine Xian's sister is at the head of all the concubines, if the emperor says the position, shouldn't he go to her first? ”

"I don't really like her title."

Yuanzhi told the truth, "It's all because I didn't pay attention to this matter at the beginning, and I happened to seal Concubine Li Xian, and Concubine Li Xian during the first emperor's dynasty was retitled." That Concubine Li Xian was not only a guilty concubine, but she was also very-for-tat with me and the queen mother back then, and almost hurt the queen mother several times, so I didn't like it. ”

I don't like Concubine Li Xian, who is not in the first imperial dynasty, and I also have some natural discomfort with Concubine Li Xian today.
