In the main hall, the queen sat with a dignified expression. Next to her were clearly Concubine Su, Concubine Wen, Concubine Zhao, Concubine Yu, and others. There were also Zhaoyi, Baolin, and Chongyi. It can be said that the entire harem was prestigious. All the concubines are here, a room full of balsam beauties, fat and thin, all charming and charming.
Mo Xuetong walked inside without squinting. Although she was still young, she behaved elegantly and had a calm attitude. She was not at all embarrassed to see so many concubines at once. She had a vaguely noble demeanor, as if Not paying attention at all, the concubines sitting above all looked at her face one by one. Seeing her beautiful face that seemed angry and happy at the same time, some of them who always prided themselves on being young and beautiful immediately became a few more. Jealousy.
"I, my concubine, meet the Queen." Mo Xuetong stood in the main hall and bowed respectfully to the Queen.
"Princess Xuan doesn't need to be polite. I heard that she was not in good health a while ago and she can't even take care of the affairs in the backyard. She made such a big fuss. How are you doing now?" The queen's words were like a greeting, her words were full of smiles and her attitude was friendly, but Whoever is here is not a human spirit, and one can tell that the Queen is dissatisfied with this Princess Xuan.
In the backyard of Prince Xuan's Mansion, so many concubines were killed with sticks. This matter had long been spread in the palace. Mo Xuetong understood that the queen was implying that she was not good at discipline and had all the consequences on her. Those sticks One of the dead concubines was a member of the queen, so I didn't dare to take it out on Feng Jueran, so naturally it all fell on me.
Then she said softly with a smile on her lips: "What the Queen is saying is that the prince's son was harmed by the concubine in the backyard. Concubine Ji is really at fault. I am here to apologize to the Queen and the Emperor." She specifically mentioned this here. Emperor Zongwen, who was here, also came here, just to let the queen understand this matter. The emperor had already made a conclusion.
These words are neither soft nor hard, but they blame the whole thing on the fact that the concubine in the backyard harmed Feng Jue Ran's heir. If the queen continues to pursue the case, it will be exposed that one of the concubines killed by the stick was someone sent by the queen. He came out to murder the heirs of the royal family and destroy the nine clans, let alone just kill him with a stick.
Moreover, the emperor had also made a decree. If he continued to hold on here, he might arouse the emperor's anger. The queen, who had always known Emperor Zongwen, immediately stopped talking, her eyes became cold, and her eyes fell on Mo Xuetong's eyes flashed with anger.
"Princess Xuan is indeed a good talker. It is not convenient for me to say more here. Your life is yours. Although you are a member of the royal family and are extremely noble, you should give people a way to survive when the time is right. You must know that everything has a cause and effect. , otherwise when retribution comes, no matter who you are, you will not be able to escape."
This means that Mo Xuetong has a vicious heart and fights for favor in the backyard without giving anyone a way to survive. This means that everything Feng Jueran did is placed entirely on Mo Xuetong.
Knowing that the Queen was very dissatisfied with him, with the incident involving the fifth princess in front of him, and the incident in Prince Yan's Mansion later, it was estimated that the Queen was almost to the point of being intolerable to him, Mo Xuetong smiled slightly, pretending not to understand the meaning of the Queen's words Generally speaking, he slightly raised his childish smile: "Thank you, Queen, for your teaching. I also said the same thing, but our prince said that some people will not remember if they don't teach them a lesson, so he simply beat them all to scare them." No one will bully you again."
The queen felt depressed when she said this, but she also knew that these words might really be said by Feng Jueran. She remembered that Feng Jueran was the son of that bastard, and the emperor is still protecting the son of that bastard, but he gave birth to his own son. The fifth princess was married like this, and even King Yan, whom she was protecting, was imprisoned without ceremony. The queen wanted to take this evil breath out on Mo Xuetong.
But she must be the queen of a country, and she also knew that what she just said was a little speechless. She nodded lightly at the moment, with a hint of sinisterness flashing in her eyes. It was not the time yet, so let Mo Xuetong go for the time being, and let the palace maid lure Mo Xuetong away. Take a seat on one side.
"His Royal Highness Prince Xuan is really flamboyant. Princess Xuan would like to advise your prince not to do such things as he pleases, lest the emperor worry about him again. Look at what happened this time. With such a big fuss, the emperor is really angry. After a fire broke out, I wonder if the emperor is angry again." Concubine Wen Gui was sitting on the right side of the queen and not far from Mo Xuetong's left hand. Seeing Mo Xuetong sit down, she smiled softly. .
Although these words were also talking about Feng Jueran's death of concubine Ji with a stick, the tone was not as aggressive as the queen, but more concerned, which made people like her very much.
Mo Xuetong smiled slightly, her eyes fell on Concubine Wen, who was said to be the most popular in the harem, and she replied softly: "Thank you for your concern, Concubine. I will definitely talk to the prince more when I get back."
Concubine Wen nodded, smiled and said nothing. She was indeed the concubine with the best reputation in the harem.
"Since Princess Xuan is physically and mentally exhausted, Queen Mother, please give Prince Xuan a marriage, and give a few young and capable ladies to Prince Xuan's Mansion, so that they can help Princess Xuan take care of the backyard, so that things like this don't happen again. ." A sweet laugh came from the side, and Concubine Yu sat on the edge, stroking her belly and smiling at the Queen.
These words were full of hints. This meant that he wanted to seduce people into Prince Xuan's Mansion again. A thick cold mist formed in Mo Xuetong's smiling eyes. This jade concubine was indeed restless. She would rely on the energy in her belly. The child was so arrogant that he even dared to take whatever the Queen said.
"That kind of thing just happened in Prince Xuan's Mansion. Sister Jade Concubine, it's better not to let the Queen make trouble. There are too many concubines in the backyard, so it's not that big of a deal. We have to clean it up." The Queen hadn't answered yet, Wen The imperial concubine took over Yu Fei's topic with a smile and said with a smile.
She is above the Jade Concubine, she is usually kind to others, and she has a daughter, so although it is extremely inappropriate to rush to answer the question in front of the Queen at this time, no one deliberately picks her thorns, even if she has always been Concubine Su, who was not dealing with the queen, just raised her eyebrows and looked at her, but didn't say anything.
Mo Xuetong smiled kindly at Concubine Wen with gratitude. It was more appropriate for Concubine Wen to say these words.
"Well, I don't have the time to take care of the affairs in Lao Ba's courtyard now. I'll wait until the Emperor makes the decision some time later. Let's not talk about it today. Princess Xuan's health is good and I can't take care of it myself. How can I have the energy to care about this? It's rare to enter the palace today, so I need to let go and have some fun."
The queen turned into a kind elder at some point. Her eyes fell on Mo Xuetong, and her smile turned into a warm smile. She couldn't tell that she had ever caused trouble to Mo Xuetong before. Mo Xuetong had to I sighed secretly, the people in this palace are really good at acting.
She obviously wanted to let herself go and vent her anger on the fifth princess and King Yan, but she just acted like she felt sorry for herself.
"Thank you, Queen." Mo Xuetong stood up again and bowed gently. She could be more gentle and pretend to be generous. She raised her watery eyes, looked at the Queen and said gratefully, "Your Majesty's. The Queen will have to worry more about it in the future."
This means that there will be opportunities for the Queen to point people out in the future, and the Queen's smile becomes gentler immediately.
"Sit down. I have been in poor health. Why do you stand up to set some rules? We are all members of the same family. I am here to let you relax when you enter the palace today. You don't have to accompany us old people all the time. Wherever you want to go. You can go wherever you want to play, there is no need to worry about me, you look like you are weak, so go outside to get some air first, I just let out all the princesses of Chu."
No wonder Ling Ruier and the others happened to come out of the palace just now. Speaking of which, the women in this palace were all looking at him eagerly, with their own calculations in their eyes. It really made me uncomfortable. Mo Xuetong was not polite at the moment. After a slight blessing, he said a few words of gratitude to the queen, and then walked out of the door holding the maid's hand.
Outside the palace gate, Mo Ye was guarding there. Seeing her coming, he hurriedly helped the palace maid hold her side and walked out calmly.
"What did my sister say? If you are old, then you really can't look at the concubines. Look at my sister like this, walking out with sister Zhao Fei like this. They are just a pair of sisters who love each other." Concubine Su. Covering the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, she looked at the queen and then at Concubine Zhao who was sitting beside her, smiling sweetly.
Her words were immediately met with a chorus of compliments.
"No, the Queen is not looking like a seventeen-year-old when she goes out like this. When I go out like this, I think she is my sister!"
"Last time, when my concubine's mother entered the palace for the first time and saw the Queen, she said she thought she saw Lady Guanyin, who was kind and young. It was not what she said herself."…
"Sisters are really joking. I am so old, how can I compare with Concubine Zhao? When I saw Concubine Zhao's appearance, I thought of Concubine Xian. At that time, Concubine Xian looked a little younger than Concubine Zhao. , but who would have expected that she would die like this at such a young age. If not for the unfortunate fate of Concubine Xian, she would be blessed with a son now." The queen sighed with pity, her eyes could not help but jump a few times, and her gaze Looking away from Concubine Zhao's face, there was disgust in her eyes.
As soon as she saw the face that looked similar to that bitch, she couldn't help but feel a strong hatred on her face. If it weren't for that bitch, how could she have fallen out of favor with the emperor, and then he actually started to deal with her like this? Concubine Su unexpectedly Comparing herself with this bitch, how could she not make the queen angry
"Empress, how can concubines compare with the Empress..." Concubine Zhao also knew that the queen was not happy with her face. This was also the reason why the queen agreed to the emperor's idea and sealed her Mingyue Palace. She lowered her body and smiled. , He family and Lian An are always having troubles these days, which makes her uneasy in the palace. Her face looks a little pale, and she seems to be several years older than when she was released.
"How come Concubine Zhao's face looks so bad but she is not feeling well? Queen, do you think Concubine Zhao is sick?" Concubine Yu shouted in a fuss as if she just realized it.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on Concubine Zhao's face. As expected, Concubine Zhao's face looked extremely haggard.
"Concubine Zhao, please go down and rest first. Someone will call you when the banquet starts." The queen didn't want to see this face, so she immediately waved her hand in a magnanimous manner.
"Queen, I'm not tired," Concubine Zhao declined. She was becoming more and more low-key now.
"Concubine Zhao, you don't have to be polite. Come, take Concubine Zhao back to rest." The queen did not allow her to refuse, and said to the maid standing behind Concubine Zhao with a faint smile.
"Sister Concubine Zhao, you really don't have to be polite. Even if the emperor comes, he won't blame you, so you don't have to shirk anymore." Concubine Yu stretched her belly on one side, as if she was a little tired from sitting, and went to The other side leaned closer and said to Concubine Zhao with a joking smile.
She said this as if Concubine Zhao was the emperor after she stayed. Looking at the empress's face that slowly became gloomy, Concubine Zhao had no choice but to stand up, say goodbye to the empress and several high-ranking concubines, and slowly retreated holding the hand of the palace maid. As she walked out, Concubine Yu stared at her back with a sneer on her lips.
She tilted her head slightly, and a palace maid standing behind her understood. She pretended to go down to get something for Concubine Yu, and followed Concubine Zhao out of the hall. (To be continued)
