Concubine, she rises step by step

Chapter 167
Jingren Palace seems to be more lively than usual.

The excitement was not because of the queen's status, but because of the queen's physical condition.

Although she regained consciousness, the queen seemed to have some sequelae: she was unsteady in walking, had no strength in her hands, could not stay up late, could not move her breath, in short, she could not be angry.

How could a majestic queen of a country have such a body?In this way, won't the matters above the post-position be shelved?

Huo Jiheng ordered that the imperial concubine would be the assistant to handle matters in the palace for the time being.

After being "comforted" by the emperor, the imperial concubine's mood gradually calmed down. Coupled with the family changes, she was not as aggressive as before. She felt like a eldest sister who had gone through many hardships and eventually became a hermit boss.

It's easy to get along without jealousy or jealousy. Naturally, she is happy to hold the imperial concubine with kindness. After all, with a leader who can do things, she can relax a little bit.

When Sheng Yi was in danger, her main task was to assist the imperial concubine in dealing with the affairs of the harem and act as a housekeeper.

Fortunately, I had already smoothed out all aspects of the harem, and my daily work was not cumbersome.

Usually after finishing his work, Shenyi would go to Jingren Palace to sit down.

On this day, Shengyi did not let Zhixia follow him. He was walking on the way to Jingren Palace when he happened to meet Peilin walking over from the other side.

I wanted to call Peilin to stop, but Ai Xiang happened to see the kindness and called out: "My slave, please pay your respects to Concubine Sheng!"

Sheng Yi turned his head and asked, "Did I see Peilin coming?"

Ai Xiang smiled with a complicated expression, "Ms. Concubine Sheng, please come in and sit down first."

The less direct the answer, the more strange Sheng Yi felt.

However, since Ai Xiang didn't reply to her, she naturally had something to hide, so she would just ask someone else.

After chatting with the queen for a while as if nothing had happened, the kindness came out.

When I slowly walked out of Jingren Palace, I found Zizhi coming out with a teacup.

"Zizhi." She looked at her with a smile.

Zizhi asked in confusion: "What orders does Concubine Sheng have?"

Sheng Yi said softly: "That's not true. I just saw Peilin at the door when I came here, but I just asked the queen. She didn't see Peilin. She was a little confused for a moment, so she wanted to ask you if you knew anything. ?”

After hearing this, Zizhi showed a slightly troubled expression, as if she couldn't explain it.

Kindly and understandingly, "Don't worry, no matter what you say, I will not tell anyone."

Zizhi turned around and looked around, a little confused: "Ms. Concubine Sheng, let's find a place where we can talk."

This time, Sheng Yi understood very well, nodded and said: "Okay, where is the pavilion in front?"

Zizhi nodded hesitantly, "Your Majesty, go ahead. I'll put your things away and go over."

Zhixia came closer to Shengyi and whispered: "Is there anything else in this? It's so mysterious..."

Shengyi walked forward determinedly, "Let's take a look."

After arriving at the pavilion, Sheng Yi took a deep breath and wondered what happened.

After a while, Zizhi hurried over cautiously.

"See Concubine Sheng!" Zizhi said.

Sheng Yi asked directly: "What's going on?"

Zizhi then calmed down and replied: "I don't know what the empress is. In the days when the empress was unconscious, the eldest brother came here many times, but every time, he never came in. He just looked at the door and then went back. "

Sheng Yi said with shock on his face: "Why?"

Zi Zhi said in a very low voice: "The Queen Mother ordered it." The Queen Mother?

"Why?" Sheng Yi couldn't figure it out, why can't everyone live each day peacefully, why do they have to make so many moths?

Zizhi said with a regretful expression: "The Queen Mother said that as long as the eldest brother is interested, he doesn't need to come here every day. Studying is important. In addition, the Queen Mother is worried that the eldest brother is too close to Jingren Palace and may easily arouse the fawning of the courtiers."

"What kind of bad thoughts can a five-year-old Pei Lin have? The Queen Mother must be too worried!"

Zizhi echoed: "Who can say otherwise? Looking at the disappointed look in the eldest brother's eyes, we are helpless. In addition, the queen is in poor health, and the slaves are afraid to say anything to irritate the queen."

Sheng Yi was a little angry, but he couldn't show it, so he said to Zizhi: "I know this. If I go to Jingren Palace again in the future, even if I can't get in, please say a few words of comfort to such a young child." , I’m afraid he won’t be able to bear it.”

Zizhi nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, my dearest lady, I don't want to see my elder brother in pain. This is all a simple effort."

After watching Zizhi go back, Sheng Yi couldn't suppress the anger in her heart.

"Mother, is this too bullying? It is the Queen Mother who wants the eldest brother, and it is also the Queen Mother who wants the eldest brother to consolidate power for the Suo family. Now she is worried about the courtiers wooing the eldest brother. What is she going to do? ?" Zhixia became angrier as he spoke.

Sheng Yi said in a low voice: "The eldest brother is the tool in the hands of the Queen Mother. Use it when you can, and hide it when you don't want to show up..."

Zhixia saw that elder brother was so sensible and intelligent, so he couldn't help feeling sorry for him, "It's better not to give elder brother hope, if you treat a child in this way, the slaves will be afraid that elder brother will be useless again."

Sheng Yi was shocked and couldn't help but think about it. What Zhi Xia said made sense. If Peilin thought too much and started to deny himself at such a young age, wouldn't it be ruined in the future?

no!She couldn't just watch Peilin like this.

Here, Shengyi racked his brains to plan the future for Peilin, but Peilin himself was confused and didn't know what to do.

He sat blankly by the lake, the melancholy in his eyes clearly visible.

In the distance, there is Huo Zeqi, the eldest son of Prince Yu's family. He is ten years old and is almost as tall as Ama. He has long and delicate features and is very handsome. He is the only one in the capital who has the appearance of an excellent young man.

"Who is that little guy?" Zeqi raised his head and looked at the little guy who was about to become a bean sprout.

The eunuch waiting beside him quickly replied: "Hui Shizi, it's the eldest brother."

"Big brother? The elder brother whose biological mother passed away and was raised under the queen's lap?" Ze Qi had heard about this big brother a long time ago, but he had never seen him.

The eunuch nodded.

Zeqi was about to go forward and take a look at this little guy when the eunuch stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, this eldest brother has a volatile temperament, so it's best not to provoke him."

Zeqi was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened, "After all, we are all children of the royal family, so why can't we talk!"

After saying this, the eunuch dared to persuade him again, and looked at each other in silence.

Ze Qi walked over in a clear and clear voice, clasped his fists and bowed in salute: "Pei Ze, see you elder brother!"

Pei Lin was startled, then turned around and saw a young man who was much taller than him.

"Ze Qi? Are you the eldest son of the imperial uncle's family?" The little Peilin quickly adjusted his thoughts and said very calmly.

Zeqi was very surprised, "The eldest brother is quite - calm."

To be honest, Zeqi couldn't find the right words to describe it for a while.

Pei Lin is not used to Ze Qi's warmth, so he politely said: "Your Majesty is busy first, so Pei Lin won't bother you..."

It happened that Zehong, the second son of Prince Yu's family, came out with the Queen Mother to find Peize.

Seeing Pei Lin, who was almost the same age as him, he said curiously, "Who is that? Don't leave yet!"
