She favors the Sixth Palace again

As soon as Peng Qingyin's words came out, she and Qin Xishi fell into silence at the same time.

Qin Xishi wanted to smile bitterly, but couldn't even force out a smile.

After a long while, she said softly: "Then let's borrow Concubine De's good words."

She knew in her heart that she would not have children.

No matter what the reason, she would never have children.

All the bitterness spread in his heart made Qin Xishi feel exhausted. She really didn't have the energy to continue talking to Peng Qingyin, and she no longer concealed her exhaustion.

Peng Qingyin has always been a good-natured person, so she immediately stood up and left.

Lian Xin supported her and walked out cautiously. When she saw her eyes falling faintly not far away, she didn't mention the carriage, but walked slowly by herself. She couldn't help but said: "Mother, it's snowing on the road." Hua, you are precious, so you should pass on the sedan chair."

It was as if Peng Qingyin had been awakened from a dream, and her eyes seemed to have become brighter.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, even the imperial garden was full of dead branches and leaves except for the first blooming plum blossoms. Although the palace staff diligently cleaned and pruned and replaced some green plants every day, it was still incomparable to the spring and summer. Everywhere seemed to be desolate.

Peng Qingyin sighed softly.

Isn't this group of them like flowers and trees in winter?
  It bloomed only briefly, and then died for a long time.

"It turns out that the Queen is like this too." She murmured and sighed.

"What did the empress say?" Lian Xin was a little confused and suspected that she heard wrongly.

Peng Qingyin looked down at her belly, which naturally had no curvature. She straightened her waist and abdomen subconsciously, barely making it look slightly bulging, and then gently covered it with her hands.

Lian Xin looked at her master's rare childish behavior and couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, Madam, the young master is still young. In two months, I'm afraid the Madam will find the young master noisy."

Peng Qingyin's face did not become any better. Instead, as the words fell, the remaining blood on her face faded completely.

Lian Xin was startled and kept saying, "What's going on, Madam? Come here, call the imperial doctor!"

"Lian Xin." Peng Qingyin stopped her, "I'm fine."

"But..." How dare Lian Xin relax even a little bit?

"I said, I'm fine." Peng Qingyin insisted.

"Then let's ask someone to pass the sedan chair." Lian Xin's hand holding Peng Qingyin was trembling a little, and she couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty's face looks so bad."

"I'm fine," Peng Qingyin whispered, "I want to take a walk."

"But..." Lian Xin finally said, "Even if I don't think about myself, I still have to think about my little master."

Little master.

Little master.

Peng Qingyin's hands were between her waist and abdomen, and she didn't put them down for a long time.

"It's okay," her voice was trembling, "my child is not that delicate." As she said that, she actually braved the cold winter wind and walked in the corridor.

This corridor is paved with pebbles, and it would be slippery if it was stained with some morning dew on weekdays, let alone a heavy snowfall.

Lian Xin was so frightened that her face turned pale, but she didn't dare to disobey Peng Qingyin, so she had to hold Peng Qingyin's hand tightly, for fear that something would go wrong in the slightest.

When Qu Miao, who was confined in Fengze Palace, heard the news, she even sneered: "She still wants to die even though she has a body. I think she is not satisfied, and she is thinking of causing some trouble to make Your Majesty pity her more! "

"She is pregnant with His Majesty's first child, how dare she take such a risk?" Siyuan was puzzled.

"What can a woman in a deep palace be afraid of?" Qu Miao laughed sarcastically, "What's more, in these six palaces, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at her precious child. In the past, the Queen Mother protected her. , Now the Queen Mother’s mind is not on Your Majesty, let alone her, who knows whether this child can be born?”

"Empress!" Bai Zhi, who had been silently doing embroidery work, finally couldn't help but raise her head.

Qu Miao looked at her and sneered again: "Our girl Bai Zhi went to Kunning Palace to learn the rules for a few days, and she became more and more knowledgeable about etiquette."

"I don't dare." Bai Zhi finally swallowed many words.

She knew what Qu Miao was suspicious of, and she could understand it - after all, if she were in Qu Miao's position, she would also doubt whether she, the person who had been called to Kunning Palace for several days in a row, had betrayed Fengze Palace. some news.

But she really didn't.

Even though the Queen was kind to her, the only one she would always protect with her heart was Yun Yuwei.

But my dear, why can’t you figure it out now?
  Bai Zhi felt infinite desolation in her heart.

The harem was already not peaceful, but with the Queen Mother interfering, Ning Zhao only felt that the waters in the former dynasty and the harem were getting muddier.

Ning Zhao has added a second encore under the banner of "filial piety". This has advantages and disadvantages - the biggest disadvantage is that it directly admits that the Queen Mother recognizes her as her parent.

In addition, an invisible hand has recently been adding fuel to the fire among the people, and the story about the Queen Mother's recognition of her relatives has become more and more popular. There are more than a dozen versions in the scripts alone.

The atmosphere had reached this point, and the Queen Mother no longer remained still. Instead, she went directly to Ning Zhao and asked him about Yang Hongcheng's recognition of his ancestor and his return to the clan.

"It's been a while since Xi'er came back," the Queen Mother sighed, "The Ai family owes him a lot, and they always want to give him everything they should make up for."

When Ning Zhao heard this, he sneered in his heart - give him everything that should be given to him? I'm afraid that in the Queen Mother's mind, the throne must be compensated for him, right?
  But it's not yet time for them to break up with each other between mother and son.

"Qin Tianjian has been counting the days, but there have been no good days in the past few years." Ning Zhao sighed, "How can the son not know the mother's thoughts? Not to mention the mother, I am also very sorry for the emperor's brother. If To make up for it, of course I have to use the best to make it up to him! Recognizing your ancestor and returning to the clan is the biggest thing. Did I wrong him from the beginning? If this spreads out, how will I face my father in the future? "

This excuse has been used a few times, but it still works.

The Queen Mother could not find a suitable reason to refute for a while.

"Don't worry, Queen Mother," Ning Zhao sighed again, "The Emperor's brother is the Queen Mother's son, and I am also the Queen's son. We are a family. My son dare not wrong the Emperor's brother, let alone make the Queen Mother sad. Please forgive the Queen a little. , choose the best day to come.”

"It's great that you have such a heart," the Queen Mother sighed, "It's just that when the Ai family thinks about the New Year's Eve reunion dinner, Xi'er can't legitimately have the reunion dinner with us, my heart..."

"Mother, don't worry. If anyone dares to say something offensive on such a good day, I will not be merciful!" Ning Zhao comforted him, "The emperor's younger brother has just come back. After recognizing his ancestor and returning to the clan, he has to build a mansion and start a family. Why doesn’t the queen take this opportunity to invite the emperor’s younger brother to the palace to accompany her, so as to preserve the friendship between mother and son?”
