In the Nuande Hall of Shou'an Palace, the Queen Mother is leaning on the couch. The maid under the couch is gently beating the Queen Mother's legs with a beauty hammer.
Aunt Yao was half-kneeling on the footrest. After saying this, the Queen Mother's kind face gradually turned cold, and she said in a deep voice: "Is there such a thing?"
Aunt Yao curled her lips and continued: "That's right! I just heard that the emperor went to Concubine Qing's palace again. I don't know what this matter has to do with Concubine Qing. Although Concubine Pei taught Shen Huan a lesson, she After all, she is the biological mother of the eldest son of the emperor. She has been thinking about it behind closed doors for three months. Wouldn’t it be great if Mr. Pei found out?"
The Queen Mother slowly shook her head and said: "Mr. Pei is currently fighting in the western border, so he may not be able to care about this. It's just that Concubine Pei is too ignorant. I, an old woman, know the status of Ah Hu in the emperor's heart. How can she not know? It can be seen that Someone was instigating me! It must be Concubine Qing! That day I was instigated to find A-Huan. Didn’t the emperor lose his temper with her? That’s all, that’s all, let me ask A-Huan a few words. The majesty of the royal family does not allow her to flourish in the harem. "Fashionable"
Just as she was talking, someone outside the door reported that Shen Huan was coming. The Queen Mother sat up straight and put on a majestic appearance.
There are four main halls in Shouan Palace. The Queen Mother lives in the most magnificent Nuande Hall, and the other concubines live in several other halls.
Although the Nuande Hall looks huge on the outside, there are many compartments inside. The Queen Mother lives in the Dongnuan Pavilion. Shen Huan opened the curtain and entered, and immediately felt a warmth. There was not only a smoker cage inside, but also a charcoal stove. There was a big pear wood chair in front of it. , there are high tables on both sides, and behind the wooden chairs is a layer of dark green soft smoke. On the next floor, there is a heated kang built facing the window. It is cold in the north, and there is often such a decoration in the home. There is a short table with a chessboard on it. To the right is a circular arch. The arch is curtained so you can't see what's going on inside.
The palace maid opened the curtain, and Shen Huan saw the Queen Mother sitting upright, and hurriedly knelt down to worship her.
The Queen Mother worships Buddha all year round, and the house is filled with the smell of sandalwood
"Get up!" The Queen Mother's voice was majestic.
Shen Huan fell to the ground and said in a trembling voice: "This slave is guilty."
The Queen Mother was startled. She never thought that instead of saying she was wronged, she said she was guilty and asked, "What are you guilty of?"
"Slaves should not rush into Concubine Pei."
The Queen Mother sighed softly, her tone became softer, and she said slowly: "The Ai family has heard about it, so we can't blame you entirely. She also beat you up, let alone blame you. Let the Ai family see your Face"
Shen Huan stood up and slowly raised his head. Although he used jade muscle cream, the effect would not be so fast after all, so it looked very serious.
When the Queen Mother saw it, she immediately said: "This Concubine Pei! She has dealt such a heavy hand!"
Shen Huan lowered his head and said in a voice like a mosquito, "It's my fault."
Aunt Yao secretly tugged at the Queen Mother's sleeve, and the Queen Mother coughed slightly and said: "That's all, I'll beat her. The emperor also punished her. You can't complain anymore."
"My slave dare not"
"Very good, A'hu, you have to remember that now you are no longer the prime minister's daughter, but a little palace maid. If the concubines in the harem do something wrong to you, you can't make any mistakes after all. She is a palace concubine, and you are a maid, so your status is completely different, do you understand?"
"Slave understands"
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction. Seeing her docile look, she felt very comfortable. Regardless of whether she was sincere or fake, she was taught to understand her current status! She was afraid of the royal family and could not act arbitrarily!
Shen Huan sneered in her heart, those group of women are obsessed with the authorities, is the Queen Mother also so stupid? Not to mention her current identity, the emperor can change it with just one word! In fact, as long as the emperor is around, she will have something to rely on, to be honest. Those concubines, even your Queen Mother, can't do anything to you!
The two of them had their own thoughts and thoughts over and over again, but none of them came to light. The Queen Mother was about to ask her to step back when she heard the Emperor's arrival.
The Queen Mother gave a helpless smile: "Look, just for a moment, are you afraid that the Ai family will eat her?"
Xichen just went to Concubine Qing to vent her anger. Concubine Qing did not admit her fault. She only said that seeing Concubine Pei's angry look, she was afraid that her temper would be bad, so she sent someone to invite the emperor.
Xichen sneered: "So, I want to thank you?"
Concubine Qing fell to the ground and cried: "I don't dare, I just hope that the emperor will tell you the truth and don't slander me."
Xichen was so angry that she couldn't speak, and there was no evidence to accuse her of instigation, so she left there. However, she heard that the Queen Mother had summoned Shen Huan, so she hurried here again.
"Since the Queen Mother has said everything she wants to explain, my son will take Shen Huan away now."
Seeing that Xichen's expression was not good, the Queen Mother knew that there was no evidence to be obtained from Concubine Qing, so she did not stop her. She said, "Take her with you. It will be a good time for her to be born and raised in the past few days. After she is raised, you can act again."
"yes"
Xichen and Shen Huan bowed and left. Xichen specially grabbed Shen Huan's hand, but Shen Huan couldn't get away, so she frowned and said, "What are you doing?"
Xichen said coldly: "Let everyone in this palace know that you are my woman. Let's see who dares to touch you!"
Shen Huan let out a breath and let him hold his hand. The palace people on both sides behind him lowered their heads and got out of the way. They all knelt down and were secretly surprised when they caught a glimpse of the clenched hands.
