royal princess

Chapter 177 Crying
The queen mother sneered in her heart, she didn't know what the queen was planning.With a calm expression on his face, he said slowly: "You can handle these things as you see fit. You are always in charge of the affairs of the palace. These regulations are clear and follow the rules."

The queen smiled, "In the past years, there were few people in the palace, and there was no big deal, but this year is a little different. The ministers and concubines think that they should also be lively, and the way to prosperity is to be happy and happy."

"That's how it is, so many things, so many people have to worry about it, the queen can let the imperial concubine take care of it for you."

"Sister Guifei still has Princess Yuzhen to take care of her, and she is used to doing things like this. It's not easy to let her run around, and she can't even take care of the children. The concubine can handle it alone. , if you are too busy, ask your mother to give you some pointers." Let the imperial concubine come forward to control her?The queen smiled and politely refused.

The queen mother glanced at the queen, and nodded without saying anything, "Since you have already made a plan, then go ahead and do it." What are you talking about here?Just trying to get a good name.

After coming out of Shoukang Palace, the queen met the noble concubine on the way. The noble concubine bowed slightly to the queen and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you just came back from Shoukang Palace?"

The queen nodded, and glanced at Princess Yuzhen who was being held by Aunt Hua. The little girl who was almost one and a half years old was listless, lying on Aunt Hua's shoulder.With a glance, he fell on the face of the imperial concubine, "Sister, are you taking Yuzhen to the garden?"

The imperial concubine smiled softly, "I was unhappy in Changle Palace all day, the weather is fine today, so I took her out for a walk. I took two steps, but refused to leave. The concubine really has nothing to do with her. "

The queen didn't see that the imperial concubine asked Yuzhen to come down to salute her, so she sneered in her heart, pretending not to notice, and said: "You two, let's play, I still have something to do, so let's go first."

"Respectfully send off the empress." The imperial concubine bowed her knees to send the empress away, watching the empress's back gradually fade away, and the long line disappeared around the corner, the smile on her face faded a little.

Now it is not easy for the harem to send news outside, she does not believe that the queen is not in a hurry, she has not received a letter from home for half a month, and she does not know what is going on outside.The emperor acted vigorously and resolutely this time, there was no rumor at all, and he did it as soon as he said he would do it, which really caught people off guard.

Just as she was frowning and thinking about these troublesome things, after a while, she heard Yuzhen's crying and Aunt Hua's soft coaxing, and when she turned her head, she saw Yuzhen running towards her. He hugged her leg.

"Mother Concubine, give me a hug." Yuzhen stretched out her little arms with tears on her face, the little girl looked very pitiful.

The noble concubine squatted down, looked at her daughter, frowned and said, "Why are you crying so well? The concubine mother can't hold you anymore, so you obediently let Aunt Hua hold you."

Princess Yuzhen was not happy, and burst into tears, the concubine had no choice but to reach out to hug her.But Princess Yuzhen has a good appetite, and the fat and heavy food she eats is very heavy. The imperial concubine exhausted her strength and hugged her for a while, but she couldn't hold it anymore.Fortunately, Aunt Hua had been waiting by the side, so she quickly picked it up, otherwise both mother and daughter would fall to the ground.

Yuzhen refused to let Aunt Hua hug and cry endlessly, and the imperial concubine was about to run out of patience, so she looked at her daughter with a straight face.As a result, Yuzhen cried even more when she saw her like this.

The imperial concubine couldn't help sighing, Aunt Hua hugged Princess Yuzhen and softly coaxed her, then looked at the imperial concubine and said in a low voice: "Ma'am, it may be that the little princess misses her father."

The imperial concubine frowned and glanced at Aunt Hua, before she could speak, Yuzhen heard it, and howled to ask her father.

But at this time, the crying of the little princess attracted the concubines nearby, and it happened that Qiao Lingyi was also there, so she looked up, and happened to see the somewhat sullen look in the imperial concubine's eyes, and couldn't help thinking carefully .Turning his head, he whispered a few words to Shuhui beside him, Shuhui nodded, and quietly backed out.

At this time, Qiao Lingyi stepped forward slowly to help the imperial concubine coax the child.Stretching out her palm, Yuzhen took a look, and immediately stopped crying.

Princess Yuzhen made such a big commotion in the garden, it was impossible not to be known.When Si Jin got the news, she heard that it was Princess Yuzhen who was leading Qiao Lingyi to play happily.

Hearing this, Si Jin really admired Qiao Lingyi, it seemed that he really had some means.It has to be said that when meeting such an enemy, Si Jin really felt the crisis.This is a real master. Even Princess Yuzhen can coax her. This is not something that can be done with a pretty face, especially Princess Yuzhen's temperament. Although Si Jin has never seen her since she was pregnant, Also heard of it.

Si Jin hadn't thought of Zichou Yinmao yet, and during lunch, she heard that the emperor was indeed invited to Changle Palace.Besides, Qiao Lingyi was also present at the time, so Si Jin's face couldn't be happier anymore.

Now she can't figure out whether this is a game or just a coincidence.Is the noble concubine really willing to take her daughter to pave the way for Qiao Lingyi?It may not be seen that she has such a heart, but the facts are in front of her eyes, and Si Jin also can't figure out whether the two are working together, or they hit each other by mistake.

Si Jin didn't have much taste for a lunch, she usually had to take a nap, but today she always looked at the yard restlessly.Yun Chang on the side looked at the master like this, and didn't dare to speak out to persuade her. The emperor has a palace full of concubines, and he can't just guard the master all the time. Sooner or later, there will be someone else, so why not think about it.

But dare to think about it in your heart, and never dare to say it out of your mouth.Not daring to persuade, I could only think of ways to bring some fresh fruits and vegetables, trying to attract the master's attention, but this trick is of no use today.Si Jin's mind was full of the faces of the imperial concubine and Qiao Lingyi, and there was still room for food.

It's the end of the hour, Si Jin sighed, even if Xiao Qi went to Changle Palace, he might not come back to Yihexuan again, but he would go back to Chongming Palace directly.Thinking about it, I felt that my mind was really too small, but the more I stopped thinking about it, the more I thought about it.

At this time, the atmosphere in Changle Palace was not harmonious, Xiao Qi had a dark face, there were broken teacups on the ground, and large pieces of tea stains were stained on the lichen.There was a little palace man kneeling on the ground, trembling and almost collapsing to the ground.Princess Yuzhen was sleeping soundly on the couch, her little face was flushed, the concubine pursed her lips in embarrassment, and beside her was Qiao Lingyi with a smile on her face.

At this time, Qiao Lingyi took a step forward and said with a smile: "Cousin, I think this palace official lost his hand for a while, why don't you ask the noble concubine to take the clothes and change them first."

There were large tea stains on the hem of the bright yellow clothes, it was obvious that the clothes could not be seen.After listening to Qiao Lingyi's words, Xiao Qi looked sideways at her, "Thanks to you for Yuzhen today, there is no need to change your clothes, you should go back to rest earlier, I will go first."

"Your Majesty." The imperial concubine hurried forward and stood in front of the emperor, "It's because the concubine is not strict with his orders that this kind of thing happens. You can't just go out like this. The concubine still has the emperor's clothes here. Let's change it first." .”

Xiao Qi glanced at the imperial concubine, suppressed the anger welling up in his heart, and then said in a slow voice: "It's okay, just take care of the child. Yuzhen's temperament should be taught well, she is the royal princess, You can't let your sex go wild, what's the point of crying like this today, if it spreads out, how will the people of the world, civil and military officials, think about it?"

The noble concubine's face turned pale, and her knees softened and she hurriedly knelt down. She couldn't bear the title, "It's all due to dereliction of duty by the concubine."

Xiao Qi didn't say anything more, but strode out, not saving face for the noble concubine.In the past, Xiao Qi would always change his clothes before leaving, but this time...he didn't want to obey the concubine's wishes.What's more, if you change your clothes and spread the word outside, you don't know what it will look like.

In addition, there is also a vinegar jar in Yihexuan, so I can't tell if I have a mouth.

After Xiao Qi left, the noble concubine and Qiao Lingyi were left in the room. Neither of them spoke first. Feel ashamed.But Qiao Lingyi thought in his heart that everyone said how the imperial concubine was so favored, but now it looked like it was nothing more than that.If my cousin really cared about the imperial concubine, he wouldn't say such harsh words.But thinking about it the other way around, it's not like my cousin mentioning the imperial concubine.

"Sister Qiao, go back first, and I will come to talk to you some other day." The imperial concubine wished she could send Qiao Lingyi away immediately, if Yuzhen hadn't insisted on dragging her here, she wouldn't have seen these things something happened.

"Yes, the concubine's sister had a rest earlier. What happened today was an accident. If my cousin figured it out, he wouldn't be angry. If it wasn't for Princess Yuzhen, how could my cousin take time out of his busy schedule to visit her? If you care about it, you will be confused, my cousin said this because he was worried about Princess Yuzhen." Qiao Lingyi smiled, bent his knees, and then turned and left.

Qiao Lingyi's words made the imperial concubine feel a little more at ease, thinking about it is the same reason, if the emperor didn't like Yuzhen, she wouldn't be so angry.Yuzhen's temperament is to suppress it well, but the imperial concubine is just such a child, so she can't help but feel ruthless. Looking at her daughter's sleeping face, the corners of the imperial concubine's lips slowly curled up again.

Qiao Lingyi walked out of the gate of Changle Palace, followed by a few palace officials called Shuhua, walking on the road, but he was thinking about his cousin's expression at that time.From her point of view, the cousin clearly suspected that the palace man who brought the tea poured the tea on him on purpose, but she knew it was an accident.It's just such a misunderstanding, but she doesn't know how to distinguish it for the noble concubine. I'm afraid the noble concubine herself can't explain it clearly. It's such a coincidental time that she spilled that cup of tea. What's more, she was in Changle Palace, expressing I couldn't help but think that this is the imperial concubine paving the way for favor with jade treasures.
