She favors the Sixth Palace again

"Your Majesty is now older and has more serious thoughts."

In the Cining Palace, the charcoal fire was burning extremely brightly. The Queen Mother was leaning on a small couch covered with tiger skin mattress, looking a little dazed.

The smell of agarwood emitted curls of light smoke from the gilt bronze animal-headed incense burner on the side, quickly spreading in the warm air in the hall.

The Queen Mother's face was very gloomy, and she stared fixedly at a corner of the wall, where there was a large vase on the floor, with a few newly folded branches of rugged red plums inserted in it.

"Your Majesty has always respected the Queen Mother." Peng Qingyin said warmly.

Although she moved back to Changle Palace, the Queen Mother treated her differently. Although it was still snowing outside, Peng Qingyin had been in a bad mood since she heard that the Queen Mother had returned from Yangxin Palace, so she hurriedly asked someone to prepare a sedan and chariot. .

Sure enough, as soon as she entered Cining Palace, Shi Cai and Shi Hui breathed a sigh of relief and welcomed her into the palace.

When the Queen Mother saw her, she was no longer as happy as before. Instead, she expressed some emotion in a gloomy tone.

The Queen Mother could accuse Ning Zhao of being unfilial and disobedient, but Peng Qingyin could not. She could only find some gentle words as much as possible to comfort the Queen Mother.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she just sneered and said nothing.

In the end, her eyes fell on Peng Qingyin's belly.

Her eyes were no longer as loving as before, but instead suddenly flashed a hint of viciousness.

A chill crept up Peng Qingyin's back, and she had the urge to run away; but she couldn't, she could only sit there calmly, pretending not to notice anything.

"This child will definitely be a little prince." The Queen Mother murmured.

Peng Qingyin's heart was beating violently. She calmed down and managed to keep her expression flawless: "I also hope to be a little prince, but I don't know if I am so lucky."

"You are pregnant with His Majesty's first child. If you are not lucky, I am afraid that no one in this harem will be lucky." The Queen Mother said meaningfully.

Peng Qingyin's heart trembled again. For a moment, she wondered if the Queen Mother had discovered something.

But, it’s impossible!
  Peng Qingyin made a shy expression, and then slowly raised her head, with a slight blush on her face. She was a little uneasy and seemed to be acting coquettishly, and said to the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother, please don't make fun of me. I'm still here." I’m thinking of asking for a favor from the Queen Mother.”

"Oh?" The Queen Mother became interested, "Tell me what kind of grace you want from the Aijia."

"I want to beg the Queen Mother," Peng Qingyin gently caressed her belly under the Queen Mother's gaze. Because she didn't put on much makeup, she looked a little childish; but she lowered her head and caressed her belly. , and inexplicably gave her a layer of maternal glory, making her look complex and charming between a girl and a woman, "If this child were a little princess, I would not dare to ask the queen mother for help. I want to raise the princess, but I also want to bring the princess to Cining Palace to accompany the queen mother more often. I ask the queen mother to love the princess as much as she loves her concubine."

"You child..." The Queen Mother's expression became complicated after hearing this, "The women in the harem all hope to be princes when they are pregnant. It would be better for you, but you will become a princess every time."

"I do like the princess, she is more considerate." Peng Qingyin smiled, facing the Queen Mother's indistinguishable expression, she suddenly showed a playful look, and her tone became lively, "The Queen Mother has recognized me After Mr. Chen gets married, will the Queen Mother still be afraid that she won’t have a grandson to hold her? I’m afraid that the Queen Mother will be so excited by the children that she won’t want to see the child.” Peng Qingyin has always been calm, and she is rarely so lively and joking.

But just because she rarely joked like this, the Empress Dowager was more likely to be amused by her.

The Queen Mother thought for a moment, and she didn't know what she thought of. The depression on her face was completely wiped away, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes were completely relaxed.

"You are going to be a mother too," the Queen Mother looked at Peng Qingyin angrily, "Why are you even more naughty?"

Peng Qingyin held the handkerchief, covered her lips and laughed.

The Queen Mother also looked at her and smiled indulgently, and then turned to look at Shi Cai: "Speaking of which, why did the Ai family summon Xi'er to the palace? Why hasn't he come yet? Go and have a look, especially if he doesn't come to the palace often. You must have gotten lost in the palace."

Shicai responded and went out.

get lost?

Yang Hongcheng came back with a new face, and it was a face that was deeply loved by the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother loved him more than her eyes. Now that he was going out, he was surrounded by countless people, overtly and covertly. How could he be in the palace? Lost in there?

But no one dared to say this in front of the Queen Mother, not even Peng Qingyin.

Yang Hongcheng, who was missed by the Queen Mother, was wandering around the palace carelessly at this time.

Next to him was a little eunuch who was following Yang Hongcheng's footsteps, but he was only seventeen or eighteen years old. He was honest and childish, and he was following Yang Hongcheng anxiously - this little eunuch was personally selected by the Queen Mother, and she took a fancy to him. The only thing is that he is honest and will not bring bad luck to her precious son - but the Queen Mother ignores one point. Although this honest man is good, he has a fatal flaw, that is, he cannot persuade Yang Hongcheng at all!
  "Everything is as you wish!" Yang Hongcheng had a headache from what the little eunuch was talking about, so he kicked him. The little eunuch immediately groaned and was kicked to the side in the snow. Only then did he feel that the anger in his heart had subsided a little, "Queen Mother The queen asked you to follow me, not to take care of me! Who are you? You are not even a man, but you are qualified to take charge of me?!"

"I don't dare, I don't dare," the little eunuch named "Wan Ruyi" hurriedly climbed out of the snow. Half of his body was still covered with snowflakes, but he didn't even dare to dust himself off. He just knelt on the ground and suffered. He begged bitterly, "Of course I don't dare to take care of you, but the harem is filled with the master's ladies. If there is a collision, I'm afraid the Queen Mother will beat the slave to death."

It was okay that he didn't mention the concubines in the harem, but when he did, Yang Hongcheng became interested.

In the end, he ended up changing his appearance. Wasn't it because he was dazzled by the beauty?
  When he thought of the concubines he saw in the palace, his mind couldn't help but feel agitated, and he became even more unable to move.

"Aren't these all the master's sisters-in-law?" Yang Hongcheng showed a lewd smile, and he rubbed his hands with some excitement, "We are all a family, how can we still be so open to others?"

Seeing Yang Hongcheng's excitement, Wan Ruyi was so scared that she almost lost her wits - although he was an honest person, an honest person was not a fool. How could he not see that Yang Hongcheng was so evil?

"Master, master," Wan Ruyi rushed over and hugged Yang Hongcheng's thigh, begging, "The Queen Mother is still waiting for me in Cining Palace!"
