After reading my heart, my mother-in-law went crazy and I drank milk and melons.

Chapter 2 The restoration of Concubine Yao
  Ying'an, who had just woken up from a nightmare, whimpered softly.

[Mother-in-law, let go of me first, this baby can’t breathe! 】

Concubine Yao heard Ying'an's heartfelt voice, and the tears that had been in her eyes for a long time suddenly dropped. She tremblingly let go of her hand to let her breathe for a moment, and then covered it again.

"Be a good Ying'an, don't cry, my mother and concubine haven't thought of a countermeasure yet, and you can't let your father discover your existence, otherwise, your grandfather's family may suffer disaster."

Ying'an's little face was wrinkled, her eyes were wandering, and she looked worried.

[The Prime Minister's grandfather has not yet been exterminated, so there is still time for everything. My grandfather is loyal and has worried about the country and the country. He should not have ended up like that. 】

Genocide?

Emperor Qingling frowned and suddenly thought of the Prime Minister who was sent south by him. He listened to the advice and suspected that the Prime Minister had the intention to rebel, so he dismissed Yao Fei. Could it be that there was something hidden?
  He looked meaningfully into the room.

He can hear the voice of his little princess. Could it be that his noble one is the princess?
  It seems that the Prime Minister has done a great job, and anyone who intends to conspire against him must be thoroughly investigated!
  He looked past her towards the door and asked without anger, "Is Concubine Yao asleep?"

Nanny Chen lowered her head and hesitated: "Go back to the emperor, your Majesty... I'm going to bed..."

Ying'an waved her little hands anxiously.

[No, we can’t let Emperor Qing Ling leave. He finally came to the cold palace. You can’t tell when the next time will be. Concubine, come on! Only when you get out of the cold palace can you use your fists and kicks to save your grandfather! 】

Concubine Yao burst into tears and was stunned for a moment when she heard this.

Emperor Qing Ling's face was deep, his hands were behind his back, and his emotions and anger were invisible. He lowered his head and stared at Nanny Chen: "Then I will come to see Concubine Yao another day."

Thinking of this, Emperor Qingling turned around and left.

Concubine Yao held Ying'an in her arms and opened the curtain, then knelt down and saluted Emperor Qing Ling's back.

"My concubine Zong Yaohe, please send your regards to the emperor. May the emperor be blessed with peace and prosperity."

Emperor Qing Ling's back visibly paused.

He turned around with a heavy gaze and saw Concubine Yao's thin body half-kneeling on the ground, holding a red baby in her arms.

The little doll stared at him with a pair of big eyes, piercing and bright, as if she could really see him.

[Daddy, what are you still doing in a daze? Come on! My mother just gave birth, so she got out of bed to greet you! This will cause the disease! 】

Emperor Qingling glanced at Ying'an meaningfully, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Concubine Yao up.

He even rubbed her shoulders with his broad palm, trying to bring a little warmth to her.

"You have just given birth, so don't come out. Your gifts will be waived from now on."

Concubine Yao nodded and said solemnly: "I am a concubine from the cold palace, so there is no reason why I should not be polite."

Emperor Qingling looked at Concubine Yao in trance. He had also felt pity for her and was moved by her.

But the Zong family was proud of their favor, and Concubine Yao gradually became more and more popular. In this harem, the most taboo thing was to be involved in the harem of the previous dynasty.

The Zong family commits crimes against their will, how can he endure it?

But he did have feelings for this former beloved concubine.

"Go in, it's time for me to leave."

Concubine Yao hugged Ying'an and knelt down: "I send you to the emperor respectfully."

Emperor Qingling glanced at the baby in Concubine Yao's arms: "What's her name?"

Concubine Yao lowered her eyes and shed a tear.

This statement proved that he approved of her naming the princess.

This kind of friendship is indeed not shallow.

It's just not as good as his throne.

She cried and said: "Ying'an, I hope she will be safe throughout her life."

Emperor Qingling looked at Concubine Yao deeply, then turned and left.

The cold palace instantly felt like an ice cellar. The little vitality that had been ignited by the arrival of Emperor Qing Ling was extinguished when Emperor Qing Ling left. Nanny Chen looked at Emperor Qing Ling's back sadly.

Concubine Yao cried and murmured to herself after returning to the house.

"Your Majesty, that year my father said that you wanted to make me your concubine. I also thought that you were happy with me. But this feeling was mixed with your treating me as a pawn to check and balance the Jiang family, mixed with power. In the end, It's just a straw, but it will eventually come to nothing."

Nanny Chen returned to the house and took Ying'an from Concubine Yao. She looked at Concubine Yao with concern and tears in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has left."

"The Emperor has deep affection for you after all. Maybe things will turn around." Nanny Chen persuaded.

She really couldn't bear to see her daughter trapped in love at such a young age, spending her whole life in this cold palace, depressed and unhappy.

Concubine Yao stared intently at Ying'an in Nanny Chen's arms and said, "It doesn't matter how deep the affection is, nor how unjust it is. I am in the palace, and life and death are not my original intentions."

The emperor came here, maybe he still has old feelings for her? But more of it is probably related to Jiangshan Sheji.

Just like she was thrown into the cold palace because of Si Tianjian's words.

Her heart is dead, but her family still needs her to save her, and her father is still waiting for her.

She can't fall!
  Grandma Chen burst into tears and felt extremely distressed.

Concubine Yao raised her eyes to look at her, with an unseen pleading in her eyes: "Mommy, Yao He, I beg you, if you get out of this cold palace, no matter what happens, you must keep Yingan safe."

Grandma Chen seemed to realize what Zong Yaohe was going to do, so she put Ying'an on the small bed and said anxiously: "My queen, do you want to fight again? Go grab it?"

Concubine Yao looked at the cold wind blowing outside the house and the shadows of the trees.

The bleak autumn leaves fell, taking away the youth and beauty of many women in the harem. The palace was full of clouds and intrigues, whether to attack or hide was not something she could decide.

She said solemnly: "Mommy, it's cold in winter, please help me find more chilblain cream. Hands are a woman's second face. He will be happy when he sees them."

Ying'an stared at Concubine Yao quietly. 【Mother and concubine, Ying'an will do her best to save the lives of the prime minister, my grandfather, and you. 】

She clenched her little fists tightly, and a divine light appeared faintly in her palms.

Subtle, ungraspable.

Concubine Yao looked at Ying'an, showed a faint smile, and then said: "Mommy, give me Ying'an, I want to sleep with her in my arms tonight."

Nanny Chen hesitated for a moment and handed Yingan over.

This is a cold palace, where there are so many rules.

The next day.

Within the high walls of the palace, a piece of news spread like wildfire.

"Have you heard? The emperor went to the cold palace last night."

"Of course I have heard about it. Concubine Yao is as capable as ever, and she is restless even in the cold palace."

"Seeing that the Prime Minister is about to be deposed and Concubine Yao loses power, something can't happen at this critical moment?"

"It's hard to guess the holy will. It's hard to protect the emperor from caring about the prime minister's old relationship and dethroning the concubine and re-establishing her. By then, the palace will be lively."

There was no peace in the harem all day long. Everyone was staring at the cold palace, fearing that a single oversight would cause Zong Yaohe to stand up.

In the afternoon of the same day, Wei Weiran, the chief eunuch, came to Leng Palace.

"Deposed concubine Zong Yaohe listens to the decree."

Concubine Yao stood beside the bed. When she heard the words, she stood up and knelt down: "I, my concubine, listen to your orders."

Nanny Chen also knelt down with Ying'an in her arms.

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict saying that although the abandoned concubine Zong clan lived in the cold palace, she gave birth to a princess for me. I was given a special reward of one thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, ten snails, and fifty night pearls. She was given a residence in Chengqian Palace. this!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Concubine Yao's voice could not conceal her weakness.

She originally thought that she would have to sell her sex to gain the emperor's favor, but she didn't expect that she would be able to get out of the cold palace directly.

Has he really changed his mind?

It's hard to guess your heart, it's really unpredictable.

Wei Weiran took a step forward and pulled up Concubine Yao affectionately, saying: "Concubine Yao is safe. I wish you congratulations. I also asked you to pack your things and take the princess to Chengqian Palace with me."

Concubine Yao raised her eyes, her movements were slow, and she was as weak as if she had no bones, as if a gust of wind could blow her down, making her a sickly beauty who would captivate the whole country.

There is no one in the capital who can match the beauty of Concubine Shangyao.

Nanny Chen held Ying'an with one hand and helped Concubine Yao to stand up.

Concubine Yao glanced sideways and gave Nanny Chen a wink, as gentle as water, and smiled sweetly.

Grandma Chen immediately took out a piece of silver from her pocket and handed it over.

"Chief Wei, apart from the empress, who else lives in Chengqian Palace now?"

Wei Weiran took the silver, naturally nodded and bowed, and whispered: "Apart from the empress, only Mu Gui lives in the side hall of Chengqian Palace now, but the important thing is... she lives in Chengqian Palace as a reward from the emperor."

Ying'an suddenly became interested and no longer sleepy. Her big eyes flashed, her little mouth was pouted, and she was full of anger.

[Isn't it He Mu'er? The He family stepped on the Prime Minister's maternal ancestor to ascend to the throne, and teamed up with the Jiang family to make Emperor Qingling suspicious of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and later tried to frame the Prime Minister's Mansion. She was born in a noble family, and was the daughter of the fourth-grade minister He Yuanjiang, so He was sent to the palace and became a noble person directly by the east wind of the prime minister's palace. 】

It turned out to be the He family and the Jiang family that caused harm to everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion!

Stepping onto the throne of the Prime Minister's Mansion really impressed her.

Concubine Yao was surprised in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

"Mu Guiren? I have lived in this cold palace for too long. I don't know when there was a Mu Guiren in the palace?"

Wei Weiran hurriedly replied.

"Your Majesty, you don't know. Mu Guiren is the granddaughter of Grand Master He, and his father is in the fourth rank. He is sixteen years old, and he is favored by thousands of people. As soon as he entered the palace, he was rewarded by the emperor and entered the Chengqian Palace. He looked at a bright future. .”

Concubine Yao raised her eyes slightly, stroked the scattered hair on her forehead, and touched her dry and rough skin after living in the cold palace for a long time.

"So, this Mr. Mu is deeply loved by the emperor?"

Wei Weiran nodded hurriedly and complimented: "Hey, everyone in this palace doesn't know that in the emperor's heart, Concubine Yao has always been the first one. No, the emperor has rewarded so many good things as soon as he was restored to power."

Concubine Yao's expression was light and she glanced at Ying'an who was playing energetically in Nanny Chen's arms, her mind a little heavy.

In the past, she would have been happy to hear such words, but now, she only felt sad and unwilling. All her youth was wasted in the palace, and she held a bloody and sincere heart in front of him, but he Completely hurt.

Including these many rewards, he only gave her for Ying'an's sake.

It's for Ying'an Niang, not Zong Yaohe.

Sensing Concubine Yao's mood, Ying'an turned to look at her and began to scream.

[Concubine, don’t be sad, bad men will only affect your speed of becoming stronger, stand up and start a career! Kick the scumbag dad! A concubine who doesn’t want to be a queen is not a good palace maid! 】

Concubine Yao was confused.

Maid? She's not a palace maid?
  I just feel funny in my heart.

"Thank you for your kindness, father-in-law. Please wait outside the house. I will be here soon." Concubine Yao knelt down and bowed in a respectful manner.

Wei Weiran hurriedly bent down and returned the greeting: "I'll go wait outside the house. Don't be impatient, it's still early."

Emperor Qingling ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair early, and the group headed towards Chengqian Palace.
