For more than ten days in a row, Yin Ye actively inquired about the emperor's cards every day, not only to find out who would be sleeping in the bed, but also to find out what time he would be sleeping in. Every time he came back after asking, he was in front of Zhen Liang.
Dafa sighed with emotion, mostly praising herself for being the most charming in bed matters, because so far, she was the only one who could stay on the throne until the fifth watch.
And what Yin Ye is talking about is not only this matter, but also something related to Concubine Xuan, because except for the day when Concubine Xuan entered the palace, the emperor never let Concubine Xuan sleep with her again. Therefore, Yin Ye once
The mentality of fighting against the injustice for Zhenliang gradually became more and more balanced.
So what if Concubine Xuan is beautiful? In the eyes of the emperor, he didn't think she was very special or very charming.
Every time the day came when they had to pay their respects to the Queen Mother, Zhenliang and Yinye would feel that the days in the palace were passing by so fast. Why did they have to pay their respects to that sinister old woman again?
However, for the Queen Mother, the days in the palace are now like years. The three months have passed slowly, like lukewarm water, which makes people uninterested. When will it end?
Therefore, every time Zhenliang saw the Queen Mother, the first thing the Queen Mother did was to scold her. Scolding Zhenliang did a lot of harm to people. It not only hurt Nangong Yu, but also hurt her as a mother, making them unable to see each other.
All she talks about is her most precious Yuer.
Sometimes Zhenliang really wants to yell at the Queen Mother. She doesn't only have a son like Nangong Yu. She could spend more of the three months without seeing Nangong Yu on Nangong Lie and give him some of her mother's gifts.
A son should have the warmth and care, but the Queen Mother gave Zhenliang the feeling that she and Nangong Lie had no relationship like a mother and son.
Emotions need to be maintained. If you don't maintain them and don't contribute to them, you can only stay where you are or even retreat.
Zhenliang didn't know why she would naturally defend Nangong Lie. In fact, she didn't like Nangong Lie and didn't have much favorable impression of him. Maybe she just looked at the problem from the perspective of mother and son and felt that the Queen Mother was incompetent.
Only then would he unconsciously side with Nangong Lie.
Thinking that the general content of this meeting with the Queen Mother must be to accept some complaints and scoldings related to Nangong Yu, and Yinye and the others happened to be busy, Zhenliang did not let anyone follow and went to Cining Palace alone.
Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother this time did not scold Zhenliang because of Nangong Yu's incident. Instead, she pretended to be pitiful, put on a haggard and weak look, and kept wiping her eyes with the towel in her hand.
, sobbed, "Yu'er's birthday will be in seven days. Eighteen years ago, the Ai family endured severe pain and gave birth to Yu'er. Unexpectedly, eighteen years later, they would have to endure what they wanted to see but could not see.
It hurts, how many years can the old bones of the Ai family live? The emperor is ruthless, but the Ai family misses their children deeply. If you can't even see your birthday, what's the point of living?"
Zhenliang kept silent, but felt extremely contemptuous in his heart. It is said that good people don't live long and bad people live for thousands of years. How could the Queen Mother die just because she couldn't see her son for three months? It's impossible to think about it with your toes.
Seeing that Zhenliang had nothing to say, the Queen Mother secretly scolded her for being stupid and continued to lament that she was pitiful.
The Empress Dowager Zhenliang kept repeating what she had said endlessly, as if she would continue talking endlessly without waiting for her to express her position, which was really annoying.
In order to get away from her as soon as possible, Zhenliang could only pretend to be indifferent and asked tentatively, "Do you want me to go to the emperor and intercede for the third prince?"
This slow woman finally understood. The Queen Mother rolled her eyes, showing an expression of disgust that could be carved from rotten wood, and asked angrily, "Who are you not?"
Zhenliang also wanted to roll her eyes and give something back to the Queen Mother, but in the end she could only pretend to be innocent and blink her eyes, saying neither humble nor arrogantly, "How can my charm be compared to that of the Queen Mother? Maybe the Queen Mother is more affectionate towards the Emperor and is moved by it. If you reason with this, the emperor will be able to relax. Oh, now that Concubine Xuan is favored, perhaps the Queen Mother can still find her to intercede with the emperor."
A "pop" sound!
The Queen Mother pretended to be weak and weak, and her face turned dark for a moment. She raised a hand and slammed the table, and said angrily, "Hasn't Concubine Liang heard a saying, which is that one person does things and one person takes responsibility?"
"..." Zhenliang felt that it was a big mistake for him to open his mouth just now. Even if he chose to shut up and ignore it now, it might be too late.
The Queen Mother was clearly trying to force someone into a difficult situation. It was not like she had not helped persuade Nangong Lie, but how could Nangong Lie listen to the advice of an ugly concubine like her? Moreover, she finally figured it out. Anyone who begged for mercy would be more effective than her. , because out of a man’s possessiveness and pride, how could Nangong Lie tolerate her interceding for other men?
Therefore, since it was a failure anyway, she didn't have the leisure to go find that cold-blooded man and touch the dirt on her nose!
The Queen Mother was not unfamiliar with Zhenliang's stubbornness and toughness. She glared at her fiercely. Seeing that she had no response, she sneered and said, "I heard that Concubine Liang's most precious beast is always guarding Cining." Outside the palace? Today is no exception?"
Zhenliang frowned. She looked back several times along the way to make sure that Zhenqi had not followed her. Could it be that Zhenqi followed her out secretly and was waiting outside Cining Palace as usual?
Facing the Queen Mother's unpredictable eyes, Zhenliang's body trembled with alarm, always feeling that there was some kind of medicine for sale in the Queen Mother's gourd.
Although she still didn't know what kind of medicine was being sold in her gourd, she could almost conclude that it was definitely not a good medicine.
What the Queen Mother wanted was for Zhenliang to pay attention, look at her with panic or nervousness, and said with a cold smile, "In recent years, the Ai family has been living quite smoothly, and they are too lazy to fight with others. Therefore, I am afraid that fewer and fewer people will know about it." , The Ai family has a habit, whenever they are forced into a desperate situation, they like to treat others in their own way."
Zhenliang's expression changed drastically and he stood up from his chair, glaring at the Queen Mother angrily and being speechless for a long time.
The Queen Mother's intention was very obvious. If Zhenliang prevented her from seeing her son, she could prevent Zhenliang from seeing Zhenqi.
If she were outside the palace, Zhenliang might try her best to hide Zhenqi so that the queen mother could not find a way to threaten her. However, this is the palace, and this is the palace where the queen mother has the ability to hide the sky behind Nangong Lie's back. She is Even if he stays by Zhenqi's side all day, there is no guarantee that Zhenqi will not be poisoned by the Queen Mother.
Zhenliang understood that if he didn't express his position, he might go out later and Zhenqi would have suffered an accident.
Before entering the palace, she had already lost Zhenqi once. Therefore, if possible, she did not want to lose Zhenqi again. At the same time, this was also a kind of responsible friendship for her towards An San. After all, Zhenqi's former master It was An San. It was because An San believed in her that he handed Zhenqi back to her.
