Seeing Liu Feng and two chamberlains coming forward to "reverently invite" the queen back to Kunning Palace, although the queen's expression kept changing, she finally turned around and left calmly. Only then did Concubine Yu put away her flamboyant behavior just now, and said fiercely

She lowered her aura and lowered her eyebrows, turning back into the reserved and gentle concubine she used to be.

And Princess Yongping saw with her own eyes that her mother forced the queen into a dilemma with a few words, and then made a big mistake with her nonsense. She only felt her heart pounding, but the words the emperor spoke made her heart skip a beat.

It reaches the throat.

"If you want to catch the Queen's fault, with your intelligence, you can come up with a thousand and ten thousand ways. Why kill a thousand enemies like this and lose eight hundred to yourself? Are you going to let her reveal the bloody old things again?

If it’s easy, is Ming Yue having an easy time? Don’t think about yourself, but also think about Ming Yue! If you don’t resent her for causing trouble, you can come to me or the Queen Mother to demand justice!”

"Your Majesty, your words are serious. I am the master of Yonghe Palace. I am extremely wealthy and do not care about other people's slander. However, Mingyue Yunying is not married, but I cannot stand the thought of someone slandering her life-long event after being questioned about her background! More

What's more, Yingying and Zhang Shou outside the palace are so innocent that even their marriage, which is about to be completed, is being criticized!"

"My concubine has endured it for sixteen years. I wanted to go out and let out this bad breath today, but since I was stopped by Mingyue, I can't continue to endure it. But in this case, I must at least scare her! If the emperor comes later,

, I might really put a sword on her neck and make her admit that she is the mastermind of those things outside!"

Princess Yongping finally took a breath of cold air. She didn't dare to let Concubine Yu continue talking anymore. She hurriedly stepped forward to block her mother, bowed her head and apologized: "Father, my concubine was just in a hurry, so she acted impulsively."

, she did it all for me. As for the mother-in-law causing the queen to criticize the past, that is because the queen has always slandered us from behind!"

The emperor looked at Concubine Yu, then at Princess Yongping, and couldn't help but sigh: "As for the mother, the son is strong. I don't want to say anything more. Zhang Shou is a good son, but whether there is a marriage certificate or not, since it is Ying

Ying…”

Before the emperor could finish his words, Princess Yongping said categorically: "Whether Zhang Shou has an engagement with the Zhu family is a matter between him and the Zhu family, and has nothing to do with my mother, concubine, or me! Don't say that I don't want to get married.

, even if I really can’t get married, I won’t be shameless enough to steal Zhu Ying’s man!”

Seeing that Princess Yongping had said what he said, the emperor tugged on his neat beard with some embarrassment, and then said with a wry smile: "Okay, okay, since I promised you, you can choose for yourself.

Whether you are the top scholar in civil and military affairs or a talented person among the people, you should take a good look at it for yourself. However, you must marry yourself before the age of eighteen, otherwise the Queen Mother will not be able to stop me."

Concubine Yu knew that the emperor had hinted that it could only be postponed for this year, but she couldn't help feeling relieved.

To be able to offer such grace and conditions, the emperor had indeed done his utmost to be benevolent. But what the emperor said next made her really dumbfounded.

"If you really can't choose a candidate, then you might as well consider the son of the Duke of Qin...that boy Zhang Chen. Back then, he said boldly in front of me that he wanted to marry you, and for this reason he had to learn to write eight-legged essay. I chose an old man.

Hanlin went to teach him, and I heard that he was complaining so much that he forced himself to learn there."

The emperor seemed not to notice Concubine Yu's disapproving expression, and said to himself: "Although he admires your stunning appearance and uniqueness, he doesn't really know you, and he doesn't even like you, but at least he is a person."

Choose. Of course, you may be able to choose someone better than this guy. That’s what I’m saying. It’s a cold day and there’s nothing to do in the Royal Garden, so you should go back too!”

Seeing the emperor turning around and walking away like this, Princess Yongping felt ashamed and angry, but she couldn't help but feel sorry for her mother. When she helped Concubine Yu back to Yonghe Palace, she whispered: "This kind of

Even then, my father will not accompany you back..."

"He is going to the Queen Mother to clean up the mess." Concubine Yu smiled and said lightly, "The Queen Mother has never liked me very much. She probably felt that the Emperor was too biased towards me back then, which led to a rift between the Emperor and the Empress.

There is no peace in the country. Fortunately, Mingyue, you are a daughter. If you were a son, then I, the concubine Yu, would not be a trouble, but a scourge."

Princess Yongping couldn't help but her heart beat violently, and then she warned herself again and again not to think wildly, and then she forced a smile and said: "What mother said is... my father should have come here specially after hearing the news. If

If it hadn't been for him, it would have been even more troublesome for things to end..."

Concubine Yu smiled and did not pick up Princess Yongping's words, which were obviously biased towards the emperor. However, today Princess Yongping never called her mother or concubine, but directly called her mother, which was rare in the past.

Yes, she felt relieved.

Didn't she know that the emperor did come for their mother and daughter? Therefore, she was not dissatisfied, but was already very grateful to the emperor for his preference for their mother and daughter over the years. In fact, even now, when she thinks of the old events of entering the palace, she still feels that

It's fate.

She had obviously tried every means to hope that she would be defeated, and it was clear that the Queen Mother was not very fond of her, but she actually went from the primary to the final election, and was finally selected into the palace together with several other women.

In the first two or three years of harmony between the emperor and the empress, she, a little beauty, was of course happy to close her door and live by herself. Who knew that after the empress gave birth to two sons in succession, her temperament changed drastically, and the emperor turned to several concubines in anger. Only then did she realize that,

The emperor was completely different from what she had imagined. He was neither an arbitrary king nor a deep and profound king, but a very real man.

She had both joy, anger, sorrow, and despair. She was a human being, not a god, so she quickly gave up her fear and became herself. Because of this, she became the most favored concubine at that time.

The blunt sword was given to her by the emperor after he learned that she was good at sword dancing. The two even entertained themselves with sword dancing in the courtyard of Yonghe Palace until she was confirmed to be pregnant.

Those days were really the happiest days after she entered the palace.

Moreover, because of the emperor's connivance, her close friend Jiu Niang, who was married to Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing, also often visited Yonghe Palace. When they found out that they were both pregnant with Liujia and the days were almost the same, they jokingly agreed to get married.

After much hard work, they begged the emperor to relent and let them pray together.

She said it was to pray for blessings, but actually it was more because she wanted to take a breather as she had not left the narrow courtyard since entering the palace. Therefore, when she found that the emperor and Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing suddenly appeared to accompany her and Jiuniang,

She was extremely happy.

And after that, there was great joy and sorrow. Knowing that the matter was urgent, she and Jiuniang insisted on driving away the two men and the guards, and then joined forces to break out of the encirclement with murder for the first time in their lives... Then, they met the destined noble man,

Widow Zhang, who was holding a sickle, was as murderous as the others who were covered in blood, and was also pregnant.

How they helped each other escape from the side door, how they returned to Widow Zhang's house, and how they took off their bloody clothes. She still remembers some scenes, but she can't remember some clearly. All she knows is that she held on with force.

When they arrived at Widow Zhang's house, she already had signs of giving birth, and so did Jiuniang.

But this time, Widow Zhang ignored her own unbearable abdominal pain and called Mrs. Wu to go to her husband's house next door to stabilize her husband's house. She broke open the door and dragged the drunken woman over...

At that time, she and Jiuniang secretly vowed that if mother and child were safe, they would treat Widow Zhang as her biological sister in the future, and their children would marry each other if they were of the same sex, and if they were of the opposite sex, they would marry each other. But they never expected that things would change in the end.

Be like that.

In a daze, Concubine Yu seemed to see the dying figure, and her words of Tuogu rang in her ears again. Then when she learned from Wu that Widow Zhang had a rough life, her feeling of guilt became even stronger.

Compared to her and Jiuniang, she was a truly ill-fated woman.

It wasn't until Princess Yongping's call came to her ears that Concubine Yu came back to her senses, but she smiled slightly at the daughter next to her.

"You don't have to think too much. Your father has always been responsible. Even if the queen mother blames me and warns me about this matter, it won't be too much. As for the queen...she has raised her two sons to be like that, especially these days.

Just like a mad dog, if she is really found out, her ribbon may not be saved!"

As soon as these words came out, Princess Yongping was a little unbelievable, but seeing Concubine Yu's cold face, she couldn't help but subconsciously ponder her father's true thoughts. When mother and daughter returned to Yonghe Palace, several of them

The palace people hurriedly came forward to greet him. The leading maid recited several lines of Amitabha before taking the lead and kneeling down.

"Empress, it was the slaves who stopped everyone from staying in Yonghe Palace, and then went to Qianqing Palace to report the news. If we followed you and the princess to the Imperial Garden, not only would it be useless, but we might even be used by the Empress to kidnap you. But no matter what

No matter how you put it, it’s all due to the incompetence of us servants..."

Before she could finish her words, Concubine Yu said calmly: "Everyone, get up. There is no need to say anything more. You are right to stay in Yonghe Palace. Otherwise, when I was tit-for-tat with the Queen, I couldn't take care of you.

Maybe he will actually use his sword against her, and that will cause trouble. That’s all for today, close the palace door and let the kitchen prepare dinner!”

During the reign of Emperor Taizu, the Sixth Palace of the East and West and the Kunning Palace had their own kitchenettes. However, frequent accidents occurred later, and fewer and fewer concubines in the harem had kitchenettes. This was also regarded as the role of concubines in the palace.

A sign of status. Now Concubine Yu ordered dinner to be prepared. This was not surprising, but she actually ordered the palace door to be closed. The implication of this made everyone panic.

Could it be that such a big thing happened that the emperor wouldn't come tonight?

Princess Yongping saw Concubine Yu walking straight in, but she was a thoughtful person. She took a step slowly, waved to the eldest maid and several other palace attendants, and told them briefly and concisely what happened in the imperial garden today.

.Anyway, this matter will spread sooner or later. Instead of letting people guess and inquire, it is better for her to make it clear.

When she told the whole story and saw that everyone had different expressions, she said in a deep voice: "My mother is seeking justice for me this time, so she went out of her way and had a hard fight with the queen. But the matter has passed, what are you going to do next?"

Share a little and don't cause any more trouble!"

Hearing this, everyone in the Yonghe Palace could only smile bitterly. Concubine Yu caused such a big trouble, and they wanted to shrink their heads and pretend to be transparent. Who would dare to cause trouble? They are not the second prince who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth!

While Yonghe Palace was busy closing the door to digest the scene of his empress showing off her power, the emperor was trying to eliminate the impact of this incident in front of the Queen Mother of Qingning Palace. Of course, the emperor did not forget to send someone out of the palace to inform the queen mother of the matter.

Madam and Jiuniang. After all, there were a lot of people in the imperial garden at that time, and the queen probably couldn't hide what she said to slander Zhu Ying and Zhang Shou.

When Liu Feng truthfully told the queen, Concubine Yu was so angry that she couldn't move forward and retreated. Later, she slandered Princess Yongping and Zhu Ying and Zhang Shou's life experience. Concubine Yu frightened the queen and screamed with an unopened blunt sword.

The assassination was carried out. The lady listened and turned the prayer beads in her hand. Finally she smiled and shook her head.

When Jiuniang heard that the queen claimed to have stolen her husband, she couldn't help but cursed at the nonsense.

Liu Feng, who was ordered to deliver the message, did not dare to remind Jiuniang that the person she was scolding was still the mother of a country after all. Since he had brought all the words he had brought, he was ready to resign. But at this moment, he heard something coming from outside.

gave a crisp laugh.

"Ah Shou, are you tired after playing the piano with my second brother in Ziyan Pavilion for so long? Come in quickly!"

With this sound, the door curtain was raised high. Zhu Ying, who came in first, stepped aside. When Zhang Shou came in, she smiled and lowered the curtain. When Liu Feng saw this little aunt coming, how could she dare to stay any longer?

He immediately smiled and said goodbye. As soon as he left, Zhu Ying frowned and said, "Why does Eunuch Liu look a little afraid of me and hide away when he sees me? Grandma, mother, what happened?"

When Zhang Shou saw that Mrs. Tai was still smiling kindly, but Jiu Niang still looked angry, he knew that something must have happened in the palace. Sure enough, under Zhu Ying's hard work, Jiu Niang looked like she was still angry.

After all, her mother told the truth. At this moment, Zhu Ying was so angry that she fainted. She turned around and lost her temper.

"Does she still look like the mother of the country? Even if she changed her name to Sangu and Liupo, she even dares to say such nonsense... Wait, the person behind those censors is not her, right? Is she crazy?

, I thought it was the eldest prince or the second prince who was supporting them, but she, a queen, has no brainer than me?"

Zhang Shou couldn't help laughing when he heard Zhu Ying scolding him.

Sure enough, the next moment the eldest lady woke up as if from a dream, but she was annoyed for a moment, and then said fiercely: "I have done so many mistakes, I don't believe she can pass this test safely this time! Ah!

Shou, didn’t you say before that Ah Liu asked people to investigate those cases in which the censor was sued? There would be no results?”

Zhang Shou suddenly thought of Ge Yong's guess about Ah Liu's actions, which made him murmur when he saw the boy before, wondering whether this was fake and really shady, or whether it was simple and crude and more effective... Just when he hesitated
