Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 312
It has been two days since he came back from the imperial mausoleum, these few days have been peaceful, and he didn't come to find fault with him, but Zhao Min didn't dare to let go of his guard.

Seeing that the seeds he planted a few days ago had germinated, Zhao Min took a kettle and watered the garden in the yard.

"Princess, the weather is good today, it's a pity to be bored here in Chunyang Pavilion."

Qinlan knew that the situation of the princess in the palace was not very good, and she was struggling. Although she was very playful, she also knew right from wrong, but staying in this dark courtyard all day would really bore her to death. .

"What's the matter? Want to go out to play?" Zhao Min smiled slightly, put the kettle in his hand aside, walked to the stone bench in the yard and sat down.

Seeing this, Qin Lan frowned, and hurried forward to pull Zhao Min up: "Princess, this stool is cold, why did you just sit down, wait, I'll get you a cushion."

After saying that, Qin Lan ran back to the house and took a cushion and put it on the stone bench, and patted it with her hands: "It's all right now, sit down."

Zhao Min sat down and asked the question he had just asked again: "The weather is really nice today, do you want to go out and have fun?"

"Of course I want to." After speaking, the smile on Qin Lan's face gradually disappeared, and she shook her head lightly, "No, it's better not to go out, I'd better stay in Chunyang Pavilion honestly."

"Princess, the prince has replied."

While the two were talking, they saw Nanny Gu coming from outside in a hurry, holding a letter in her hand.

"The prince has a letter." Zhao Min excitedly stood up from the stool, walked towards Nanny Gu, took the envelope from her hand, held it tightly in her hand, and then went into the house alone.

Seeing Zhao Min's excited expression, Nanny Gu secretly sighed, not knowing when the prince will come back.

Zhao Min walked to the desk and carefully opened the envelope, for fear of tearing the letter paper inside.

"Min'er, you must be careful when you are alone in the palace. Don't worry about me. I am fine. I will definitely capture Wangcheng as soon as possible. I will go back to pick you up and wait for me."

Zhao Min read the few numbers several times, and she seemed to have a little more strength in her heart. Now she feels that no matter who is targeting her, she has the energy to fight her, because she has to wait for Gu Lingqing to come back.

"Concubine Xian is an idiot, without her son, she has no backbone. She actually thought of such a clumsy way to deal with Princess Ling, she is really stupid."

Er Chun stood behind the queen, and lightly patted her shoulder: "But this time, it's also thanks to that Princess Ling, the emperor actually directly lowered Concubine Xian to agree."

The queen raised her hand and signaled Erchun to stop: "The emperor didn't do it because of Princess Ling. The concubine Xian has been favored for many years. Now that Gu Qi has made a big mistake, she still doesn't know how to restrain herself. She is the one who forced the emperor to be cruel to her." Well, the matter of Princess Ling is just an introduction."

Erchun nodded lightly, did not speak, and listened quietly to what the queen said.

"That idiot seems to be hopeless. It seems that I still have to take action. It is better to get rid of the child in Yinggui's stomach as soon as possible."

Thinking of Yinggui being pregnant, the empress gritted her teeth with hatred: "This palace will absolutely not allow her to give birth to a royal heir."

"Ma'am, what should we do?"

The queen lowered her eyes, stood up, and paced back and forth in the room, but her brain was running rapidly.

Erchun didn't bother her either, and stood aside, waiting quietly.

After a long time, the queen stopped, walked to a table beside her and sat down, raised her hand, Erchun knowingly poured her a cup of tea, and handed it to her eyes, the queen took it, took a sip, and then slowly opened her mouth : "I remember, it will be the Empress Dowager's birthday after a while."

Er Chun counted the days in his mind, then nodded slightly: "That's right."

Every year on the Empress Dowager's birthday, because the Empress Dowager believes in Buddhism, she will be as simple as possible. However, on that day, everyone will go to the Longevity Palace to congratulate the Empress Dowager.

Even if Lady Ying is pregnant with a dragon seed, no matter how precious her body is, the emperor ordered her not to go out for nothing, but she will definitely attend the Queen Mother's birthday when she meets her.

"Er Chun, you can make a move."

The queen was playing with the wrench on her thumb, with a look of sternness in her eyes, and said to Er Chun who was standing aside.

Erchun didn't need the queen to say anything more, the tacit understanding over the years made her understand instantly: "Okay, servant girl will make arrangements now."

"Wait!" The Queen stopped Er Chun who was about to go out, "Remember to do it cleanly, even if the matter is revealed, don't draw clues to Bengong."

"Don't worry, madam."

After Erchun withdrew, the queen ordered another maidservant: "Go and take out the pair of jades from the treasury of this palace, and follow me to Mrs. Ying."

After the maid went to the storehouse to take out the jade ruyi, the queen got on the chariot and went to Yinggui's palace.

"My lord, the empress is here."

Lady Ying, who was embroidering in the room, immediately put down the handkerchief in her hand after hearing the maid's announcement, stood up and went out to greet her.

Seeing the Queen coming in from the door, Lady Ying came forward and wanted to salute, Queen, a look of disdain flashed in her eyes, and after that Lady Ying had squatted down, she walked forward hypocritically, looking very anxious: "Sister, what are you doing? Now that my sister is pregnant, these etiquettes can be avoided."

Hearing the empress speak so politely, Yinggui felt flustered in his heart: "Your Majesty, don't say that, it's really disgraceful to the concubine. These days, the emperor ordered the concubine not to go out and walk around, so the concubine has never been able to get it." I have the opportunity to pay my respects to the empress, and I also ask the empress not to blame my concubines."

"Your sister is really offended when she said this. Since the emperor won't let you go out, how can I blame you?" The emperor walked to the main seat in the palace and sat down, and glanced at the servants around him.

Lady Ying understood, and immediately said, "You all go down first, and don't come in without my order."

After everyone went out, the queen signaled to the servant who came with her, and put Yu Ruyi in front of Yinggui: "I don't have anything to give away, so don't dislike this younger sister Yu Ruyi."

At this moment, there were no outsiders in the hall, Yinggui didn't pick up Yu Ruyi, and walked directly in front of the queen and knelt down: "Your Majesty, just tell me what you have to say. What are you doing with the concubine? The concubine is afraid."

Mrs. Ying has been by the queen's side since she entered the palace last year, so she naturally knows how vicious the queen is on the inside, although she is gentle on the outside.

This time she was pregnant with a dragon seed, and without her consent, Yinggui was always worried, so she used the emperor as an excuse to not go to Changchun Palace.
