"Queen Empress, this is sent to you by the emperor's servants."
Qu Qing Ju looked at the things that the maids were holding, and found that they were clothes, shoes and socks suitable for pregnant women. She immediately smiled and said, "It's hard for the emperor to worry about me so much." Although the maids around her had already She made a lot of clothes for her, but she remembered He Heng's heart.
Mujin sent these palace maids out of the palace gate, and when she came back, she found that all these things had been put away, she thought it was the matter of Miss Qu San a few days ago that had affected the empress's mood, so she stepped forward and said: "Niangniang, slave maid According to the imperial doctor, after the fetus is three or four months old, there will be weak fetal movement, have you felt it recently?"
"Really, I thought it was because of my stomach discomfort," Qu Qing Ju was very interested in the fetus in her womb recently, she touched her chin, "No wonder I always feel that my stomach has been moving inexplicably in the past few days, I thought it was Stomach upset."
"If you have a stomach upset, Du Yuan would have found it early." Mu Jin opened the window in the house and glanced at the sky outside, "This servant can see that the sky outside is very good, Niangniang might as well go outside for a walk."
Madam Lu, who had been silent next to her, glanced out the window, then nodded and said, "Miss Mujin is right, now that your Highness has been in your belly for three months, it's good for you and His Highness to walk properly. It's good."
Madam Lu was a pregnant mama given by He Heng Qin. She knew very well about women's pregnancy. For Qu Qingju, it was an encyclopedia of pregnancy. From words and deeds to diet and thinking, when it came to talking about it, it was the right thing to do.
"Since Mama Lu said so, let's go out for a walk," Qu Qing Ju touched her face and stood up from the soft couch while holding Jin Zhan's hand.
Mujin added a fox fur cape to Qu Qingju, and then let Qu Qingju go out.
The weather in early winter was not very cold, so Qu Qing Ju uncomfortably pulled the cloak on her body, basking in the low temperature sun, yawned and said, "I heard that the emperor sent a palace maid yesterday, but you know it was What's the matter?"
Mujin and Jinzhan glanced at each other, and finally Mujin said: "The slave is not very clear, but I heard that the emperor found that the palace maid was out of order, which caused the emperor's anger, and was attacked by the emperor." They were afraid of affecting the empress's mood, so they didn't tell the empress, how did the empress know
Qu Qing Ju knew what they were thinking, and said lazily, "This palace is pregnant, and I don't know how many people in the harem have their thoughts floating around. Now even the palace maids want to think differently."
"Niangniang, what can they do if they have thoughts? The emperor doesn't care about them. You only need to take care of your baby now, so why bother with these people?" Mujin advised, "Besides, Niangniang, you are the queen, who can go past you? ?"
"Of course I won't bother about these people," Qu Qing Ju smiled, looking at a corner in front of her, "but I'm afraid that these people will get in the way of Ben Gong's eyes."
Hibiscus and Jinzhan followed Qu Qingju's gaze at the same time, their expressions sank, it turned out that Han Liangdi and the emperor were standing together and saying something. Seeing the smile on Han Liangdi's face, it seemed as if they had picked up a rare treasure. of.
Seeing this scene, the two looked at the Queen with some concern, but found that the smile on the corner of the Queen's mouth was getting deeper and deeper, but her eyes were a little cold. Mujin couldn't help but said, "Niangniang, maybe the emperor just met Han Liangdi by chance."
Qu Qing Ju sneered, there are so many coincidences in the world, and there are not so many emperors who guard their bodies like jade. In the previous dynasty, there was Emperor Huiming, who was praised by the world for hundreds of years. It can be seen how rare the infatuated emperor is, and it is rare to meet in hundreds of years.
Han Liangdi did not expect to meet the emperor by chance in the imperial garden, she shyly looked at the tall and straight He Heng, and said softly: "Emperor, my concubine learned a new song a few days ago, I wonder if the emperor would like to listen to it? "
"Han Liangdi's voice is like an oriole in the valley, but I haven't heard you sing for some time," He Heng glanced at the gazebo next to it, and pointed to the pavilion, "Why don't you sing it to me today."
Han Liangdi was so happy that she could hardly hide her face, she stayed behind the emperor, watched the emperor sit down and said, "The concubine is ugly."
"Cut the candles to the west window, the moonlight is like silver frost, I asked Mingyue when the Yiren will return, but I see the Yiren on the other side..."
Ming He, who was standing behind He Heng, listened to this tune and sniffed. This tune sounded like Han Liangdi was inviting favor from the emperor? But the voice was really nice, and she sang a song that made her sigh and complain, full of melancholy.
"Yiren can't see the beautiful woman's tears, how can she know that the beautiful woman is hurt..."
After singing a piece of music, Han Liangdi's eyes were slightly red, but she pretended to be calm and blessed He Hengfu: "My concubine's voice is not as good as it was in the past, I have disappointed you, the emperor."
"Well, Han Liangdi's music is as good as ever, I..." He Heng glanced outside the pavilion, his eyelids twitched, "I thought it was okay to have fun occasionally, but don't waste too much energy, now you are five Pin Liangdi, it is not solemn enough to practice and sing songs every day, if you want me to enjoy some songs in the future, you can ask the people from Yueyi House to rehearse and let me watch them.”
Not expecting to hear such words, Han Liangdi was stunned for a moment, and even the lingering tears in her eyes were instantly choked back.
"The emperor's words are over, but the concubine thinks that Han Liangdi sings this song very well. How can it be compared to the singer of the Yueyi Palace?" Qu Qingju held Mujin's hand and walked into the pavilion step by step. After arriving in front of He Heng, he made a gesture to bow his knees and was supported by He Heng.
"If you like it, let Han Liangdi go back to practice her voice, and you can enjoy the music with me in the future," He Heng helped her sit down beside her and put a stack of cakes in front of her, "or you can let Han Liangdi now. Sing a song, I remember that Han Liangdi sang the song "Sighing Lotus" very well."
Qu Qing Ju smiled and winked like silk, her eyes rolled, and she landed on Han Liangdi, who was still standing. After thinking for a while, she shook her head and said, "Forget it, as you said, the emperor, although Han Liangdi's grade is not the same. Gao, but she is finally a concubine in the harem, and she is wronged by letting her sing to her concubine."
"You are the queen of the mother world, what's wrong with her singing to you?" He Heng raised his chin slightly and looked at Han Qinghe, "Han Liangdi, what do you think?"
"It is a concubine's blessing to be able to sing songs for the emperor and the queen's concubine," Han Qinghe forced a gentle and decent smile on his face, facing Qu Qingju, "Please allow the concubine to sing for you." She felt Half of my heart was extremely cold, and the other half was extremely hot.
"Peach Blossom Demon, pear blossoms are white, only lotus flowers..."
Qu Qing Ju yawned, leaned lazily on He Heng's shoulder, and muttered, "The weather is good today, it really makes me sleepy."
He Heng knew that when a woman was pregnant, she was always sleepy. He stretched out his hand to wrap her back to make her lean on more comfortably. He held the teacup in his other hand and sipped slowly, looking down at him from time to time. Qu Qingju glanced at the shoulder.
Looking at this scene, Han Qinghe felt a little uncomfortable in her throat for some reason, as if spitting out a lyric made her unbearable, and when she got to the back, she didn't even know what it was like to sing.
"Stop," He Heng whispered, "The queen is sleeping, don't disturb her." After that, he bent down and picked up the person leaning on his shoulder, then took a deep breath, still quite heavy.
Her own queen looks slender and beautiful, and she doesn't show her belly even when she is three months pregnant. However, when he hugs him, he finds that he is still a lot heavier than before. It seems that the things he eats every day are still somewhat useful.
Thinking that Qu Qing Ju's belly would get bigger and bigger in a few months, he couldn't help frowning. At that time, he didn't know how much Qing Ju would suffer, even if it was difficult to sleep.
"Your Majesty, why don't the servants have someone carry the soft sedan chair." Seeing this, Ming He hurriedly stepped forward.
"No need," He Heng hugged Qu Qingju firmly, "It's not too far from Tianqi Palace."
"Yes," Ming He Yiyan retreated to the back and bowed to follow, making preparations that if the emperor's hand was soft, he would use his body to cushion the empress.
"Congratulations to the emperor and the empress," Han Qinghe watched helplessly as the emperor carried the empress down the stairs of the pavilion. After he could no longer see the figure, he angrily swung away the tea cup on the stone table. What does the empress mean? Should Han Qinghe be born to be a singer
They are all the women of the emperor, why should she still sing to her!
"Master," the maid behind her turned pale with fright, looked around, and relieved after seeing no one, "Don't get angry outside, be careful that the walls have ears."
"Now she is pregnant and can't serve the emperor, and she is still holding on to the emperor. There are still many people praising her for her virtuous virtue, bah!" Han Qinghe couldn't hold back the anger in his heart. The days have made her a little oblivious, even forgetting her own identity.
"Master!" The palace maid was so frightened that she knelt down in front of her, "Don't talk about it, this is a big sin to lose your head!"
"Get up, I am surrounded by stupid people like you," Han Qinghe exhaled a few times. Seeing that the people around him turned pale with fright, he slowly calmed down, "Go back!"
Such a good opportunity to get close to the emperor was also ruined by Qu Qingju, it was really annoying!
Qu Qing Ju closed her eyes and leaned against He Heng's arms, listening to his increasingly heavier breathing, and opened her eyes when she was about to approach the Tianqi Palace. She looked around in confusion, and finally raised her head to look at He Heng, "Your Majesty?"
"Awake?" He Heng stopped and smiled, looking at the woman with a puzzled face in his arms, "You fell asleep just now, I'll take you back to the palace."
"I'm a lot heavier now, let me down," Qu Qing Ju said urgently, "Your Majesty, how could you carry me back all the way, it's too tiring."
"It's okay," He Heng hugged her tighter, "Don't make trouble, it's almost there, I'll take you back."
Qu Qing Ju buried her head in his arms and muttered, "It's a shame."
"I saw it when you were even more embarrassing," He Heng laughed out loud, "But it's a lot more serious, but it's the truth."
Qu Qing Ju twisted around his waist and hummed, "Don't look at who is at fault."
"My fault, my fault," He Heng strode forward, unaffected by Qu Qingju's neither light nor heavy twist, "Heavier is better, I like you to be heavier."
The group of people who followed silently buried their heads lower at the same time, saying that they had not heard anything.
Of course, I didn't even see the emperor curry favor with the queen's concubine.
☆、101·The trust of the emperor
"Niangniang," Huang Yang was sweating lightly on his forehead, looking at the empress who was sitting at the table and eating, she didn't even dare to breathe too hard, as if a single effort would make the empress empress angry.
"What's wrong?" Qu Qing Ju slowly ate a bowl of chicken porridge, accompanied by the crispy pickled cabbage, and it tasted delicious. Seeing that Huang Yang wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it, she took the tea cup handed over by Jinzhan and rinsed her mouth, then took the handkerchief from Yin Liu and wiped the corners of her mouth, "Tell me, what made you like this? anxious?"
Huang Yang knelt softly at Qu Qingju's feet: "Han Liangdi was found in the lotus pond in the imperial garden this morning, and the person was already swollen."
Qu Qingju was stunned, Han Qinghe died
"Can this be said in front of the Empress?" Mu Jin frowned, now that the Empress is pregnant, these things have spread to the Empress, wouldn't it scare the Empress and the little Highness in her womb, "Hurry up and shut up. "
"No problem," Qu Qingju's left hand gently caressed her slightly bulging abdomen, "You look so ugly, it's definitely not because of such trivial matters, is it related to the cause of Han Liangdi's death?"
Seeing the calm expression of Empress, Huang Yang had no choice but to grit his teeth and said, "The people in the temple province found a white jade hairpin in Han Liangdi's arms, and someone recognized that it was yours, Empress."
When Jinzhan and Hosta heard this, their expressions changed with fright. Usually, the two of them were in charge of the empress' hairpins and clothes. If empress's belongings were lost, they were the biggest suspects. The two of them knelt down immediately, and said with ugly expressions: "Niangniang, the slaves are not good at taking care of me, please punish me."
Qu Qing Ju laughed and motioned for the two to stand up, then stood up and said, "This winter and the twelfth lunar month actually acted in such a play, and even the white jade hairpin that was lost in this palace for half a month was found. Since the two mothers are now in charge of the harem, we will go to Fushou Palace for a walk, and this palace is also very curious about this."
Huang Yang looked at the Queen Empress with some puzzlement, and the Empress didn't seem to be angry at all.
Mujin was stunned for a moment, then resumed her smile, "No, Huang Yang is going to prepare the phoenix chariot. It has been snowing since last night. The master now has His Highness in his belly, but he can't blow the wind."
"Yes," Huang Yang stood up happily and turned around to let the people below prepare the phoenix carriage.
In the Fushou Palace, the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces, He Heng, Princess Jin'an, the other three concubines, and the provincial supervisor and young supervisor in the palace are all for Han Liangdi's drowning.
After the Queen Mother Wei heard the report of the kneeling palace maid below, she said with a calm expression: "You mean, Han Liangdi left the residence alone at Hai Shi last night, and when you found something wrong at Hai Shi, you and a few other waiters searched everywhere. , and it turned out that Han Liangdi's body was found?"
"Yes," replied Han Liangdi's maid who was close to her. Facing the room full of high-ranking people, she seemed a little timid. "Before the master left, she said..."
"What else?" He Heng asked coldly.
"I also said that as long as the Empress thinks highly of her, she will be able to regain your favor from the Emperor in the future." After saying this, the palace maid touched the ground with her forehead, her whole body shivering with fear.
"According to the meaning of this palace maid, it was the queen who invited Han Liangdi out, and the people in the palace found the queen's hairpin on Han Liangdi," Empress Dowager Wei twitched the corners of her mouth, with a sarcastic taste, "It means that Said that the queen was the murderer of Han Liangdi?"
He Heng frowned and said, "Empress mother, Qing Ju is the queen of a country, how could she murder an unimportant little concubine?" Although he stayed in the front hall of Tianqi Palace last night and was not with Qing Ju, he believed that The matter of Han Liangdi has absolutely nothing to do with Qu Qingju.
Hearing that his son accidentally called out his daughter-in-law's boudoir name in front of so many people, Empress Dowager Wei raised her eyebrows and glanced at him before saying, "Ai's family is also very suspicious of this matter."
"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty," the palace maid said in a trembling voice, "because the master sang a song to the emperor in the garden half a month ago, and was later discovered by the empress. After that, someone deducted the master's share. So the master went alone last night. It is really helpless to see the empress, please ask the empress dowager and the emperor to do justice to the master."
"It started snowing around Hai Shi last night. The queen has been pregnant for more than three months. She even went to see Han Liangdi on a snowy day, and even pushed Han Liangdi into the lotus pond," Princess Jin'an sneered. Even after all this, I didn't realize that I lost anything, so I turned around and went back to the apse of Tianqi Palace to rest, and the physical strength of the emperor's sister-in-law is also too good."
"The maid didn't say that this was the work of the empress," the palace maid shrank her head back and stammered, "and the maid thought that it might also be the work of the servants..."
"Presumptuous, I don't know when someone in my bedroom will go out?" He Heng slapped the table, "Apocalypse Palace is guarded by guards in the dark for twelve hours, not to mention the queen, even the Ordinary palace maids and eunuchs will be recorded when they come and go, but if you can’t frame the queen, you want to frame the people around the queen, what’s your motive?!”
The palace maid who spoke obviously did not think of this, she was brought in by Han Qinghe from the palace, how did she know that the guards of Tianqi Palace would be so strict, and she kowtowed after a long while: "The slave maid has no intention of this, I beg the empress dowager and the emperor for a clear lesson. ."
Mrs. Wei raised her teacup and looked at the kowtow maid with cold eyes. She ignored her kowtow until blood was on her forehead, and turned her head to the queen mother and said, "Don't talk about these people, even our sisters didn't know about it until they entered the palace for several years. Yes, I don’t know which daring thief murdered the concubine and framed the queen, it’s a heinous crime.”
"No, Aijia entered the palace and became the queen for nearly a year, only to know that Tianqi Palace has guards hiding in the dark to protect the emperor," the mother queen raised her head with a smile that was not a smile, and her eyes were on Jiang, Feng, and Luo. Sweep, "But no one came to frame Aijia back then, and now the young people are more courageous."
Jiang, Feng, and Luo could not sit still. The three of them walked to the center of the hall and knelt down. Before the matter was investigated, the three of them were suspicious. How dare they bear such consequences
"Okay, the three of you don't need to kneel," Empress Dowager Wei put down the teacup, "Bengong's daughter-in-law, Aijia knows very well that she is not the kind of person who does this kind of thing, and even if she did, she wouldn't be so stupid. No matter who Aijia is so daring, but if she admits this matter herself, Aijia will not pursue her family, but if you wait for Aijia to find out in person, don't blame Aijia for being ruthless."
The main supervisor and the two young supervisors of the central province can see it now. The two empress dowagers and the emperor are both protecting the queen's concubine.
The provincial supervisor in the palace stepped forward and said, "Report to the emperor, to the empress dowagers of the two palaces, the servants have just found out that Han Liangdi has been hit by a heavy object on the back of the neck. Judging from the location and severity of the injury, the murderer The person should be a little shorter than Han Liangdi, and she is a woman. Empress Empress is a little taller than Han Liangdi, and pregnant people should not lift heavy objects, so the perpetrator cannot be Empress Empress, servants, etc. According to the records of the entrance and exit of the apse of Tianqi Palace from yesterday to this morning, there is nothing suspicious about the maids and eunuchs who are serving by the Empress. Therefore, it can be inferred that the matter of Han Liangdi has nothing to do with the Empress."
He Heng nodded, his face softened: "It seems that someone wants to kill two birds with one stone." He glanced at the three kneeling concubines, and finally fell on Luo Yinxiu and Feng Zijin, who were shorter than Han Qinghe, his face darkened again. After coming down, "Arrest all the maids and eunuchs who serve Luo Guiconcubine and Ping Cairen, and interrogate them one by one."
"Your Majesty!" Feng Zijin knelt and took two steps forward, "The concubine is wronged, Your Majesty!"
Luo Yinxiu looked at the excited Feng Zijin and continued to bury his head.
"Your Majesty, the Empress asks to see you." Ming He came in to report.
"Xuan," He Heng's cold and stern face suddenly became gentle. When Qu Qingju came in, he couldn't help standing up and helped the person to sit down beside him, "It's snowing outside, why are you here?"
"I heard just now that Han Liangdi was gone, and she happened to have a concubine's hairpin on her body, so how could the concubine sit still?" Qu Qingju frowned slightly, "The concubine's hairpin fell off half a month ago. After I fell asleep, I don't know where it fell, Your Majesty, you even gave your concubine a set of opal hairpins, but who would have thought it would appear at Han Liangdi's place."
He Heng immediately remembered that half a month ago, he and Qing Ju listened to Han Liangdi singing, but Qing Ju fell asleep. After he carried him all the way back to the Tianqi Palace, he found out that two hairpins were missing, and he fell asleep the next day. Rang Minghe sent a box of hairpin rings inlaid with opals to the apse of the Apocalypse Palace. It seemed that the white jade hairpin was one of the two that fell half a month ago.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I know that this matter has nothing to do with you," He Heng patted the back of her hand, "I will definitely let someone investigate this matter thoroughly and return your innocence."
Qu Qing Ju sighed, then nodded slowly, and looked apologetically at the Empress Dowager Liang Gong: "Let the two mothers and queens worry about their daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law is really unfilial."
"What does this have to do with you," the mother queen mother said, "Empress, you are too honest, there are always some daring and vicious people in this harem, Aijia and your mother have been in the harem for many years, such a stupid method I’ve never seen it before. With such a person in the harem, the Ai family can’t feel at ease.”
"No, you are pregnant now, don't worry about such trivial matters, there are mourners in everything, so I can't feel wronged for you." After Empress Wei finished speaking, she said to He Heng, "Send the queen back quickly, it's such a bad luck. Why should this matter smear people's ears, you husband and wife just don't worry, Aijia and elder sister will definitely get to the bottom of this matter, you should leave here earlier."
He Heng stood up and bowed to the two of them, "The son doesn't have the energy to take care of the harem, so this matter has to trouble the two mothers."
"Let's go, let's go," Empress Wei waved her hand and chased the two away like a duck. After the two of them left, she gave a sneer and said neither light nor serious: "As long as anyone who is suspicious, If the punishment is all severe, I can’t believe it and can’t find out.”
She glanced coldly at He Heng's three concubines: "There is no room for wise women in this harem!"
…
Jiang, Feng, and Luo couldn't help shaking, and Jiang Yongxu bowed solemnly and respectfully: "Thank you, the Empress Dowager for teaching."
Empress Dowager Wei nodded slightly to her, and then said to Feng and Luo who were kneeling: "Before the matter is cleared up, you two should stay in Xingshenzhai behind Fushou Palace and reflect on it carefully, so as to save the life of the family. look at you."
"Yes." Luo Yin kowtowed with his sleeves, and she knew in her heart that the Queen Mother was going to cut off their way back, but since it was something she had never done, what was she afraid of
☆, 102 · Hedong and Hexi
In this place of the harem, there can be many secrets, and it is also possible that everything you do is invisible. The key is how high you climb and how stable you stand.
The empress dowagers of the two palaces ordered the people in the central province to be severely punished, and Luo Yinxiu and the people around Feng Zijin were tortured one by one. Before the last round of punishment was over, a palace maid named Rain cried and cried, and even recruited the things that her master had done in the palace before.
"The Ai family said that the concubines with unstable foundations have the ability to kill people. No one has found out yet. It turns out that there are still people helping," the mother queen mother read the confession in her hand, handed it to the queen mother next to her, and sighed. , "This Feng Sect is too daring."
Empress Dowager Wei read the confession in one eye and ten lines, her face flushed with anger. She was not a happy person, but the things in the confession were really shocking and angry, especially the person who committed the crime was picked out by her from the selection of women for her son.
"Someone, bring Luo Guibi and Pingcai from Singshenzhai," she suppressed the anger in her heart and sighed at her mother, the empress dowager, "If I knew it would be like this, Aijia really shouldn't have taken Such a poisonous woman is arranged to serve the emperor." No wonder Heng'er and her daughter-in-law lived together every day before, and they had no children, presumably she was injured by the medicine, and it took more than half a year to raise them.
"You don't need to blame yourself, the so-called "knowing one's face but not knowing one's heart," the mother empress dowager reassured. "Fortunately, it didn't cause a catastrophe, which is God's blessing. But now that this matter has been found out, I don't know whether to tell the emperor and the emperor. Empress?" After all, the empress was poisoned when she was in the palace, and it would be inappropriate for the emperor and empress to know about such a big event.
"How can such a big event be kept from the Emperor and Empress?" Empress Dowager Wei's expression has returned to her usual appearance. "Also, please invite Concubine Shugui and Prince Rui."
"As it should be," the Empress Dowager nodded. After all, this matter had nothing to do with Concubine Shugui.
As the two were talking, Feng and Luo came in, but they stayed in Xingshen Zhai for two days. The two of them looked haggard. Luo Guibi seemed to be barely able to maintain her posture. He was more embarrassed, and his eyes looked dry and dull, as if he hadn't slept for two days and two nights.
"Come here, give Luo Gui's concubine a seat," the Queen Mother twitched the corners of her mouth. Although she smiled, it made people feel her majesty.
"Thank you, Empress Dowager Lianggong," Luo Yinxiu breathed a sigh of relief. Now that she can be given a seat, it means that the matter has been investigated. Although she knows that the matter has nothing to do with her, she is afraid that someone will wrong her. Seeing this State, she has nothing to worry about.
When Qu Qing Ju heard that the queen mother of the two palaces asked her and He Heng to go to the Fushou Palace, she looked at He Heng who was playing chess with her in surprise: "The queen mothers have figured out the matter so quickly?"
Naturally, He Heng would not tell her the way to clean up people in the palace, but just put down the chess piece in his hand and said with a smile: "In this world, as long as you do something, it will definitely leave traces. The case that comes out depends on whether you want to seriously investigate it or not.”
Qu Qing Ju agreed with He Heng's remarks. People often say that if you want people to know nothing, you have to do nothing about yourself, so it's better for people not to do evil intentionally.
Seeing her look of approval, He Heng stood up and said, "Since the mothers want to see us, let's go to Fushou Palace." After speaking, he ordered the people below to fetch the fox-collar cloak, and then asked Qu Qingju After putting on a pair of thick rabbit velvet boots, he took the person out of the Apocalypse Palace.
As soon as she left Tianqi Palace, Qu Qingju felt the cold wind blowing towards her face. Although the snow on the road was swept clean by the eunuchs, the roof and treetops were already covered with snow, and she breathed a sigh of relief, " Very big snow."
Reaching out and pulling up the collar of her cloak to cover her cheeks, He Heng helped her directly onto his chariot, and after the two were seated, he said, "It's already the twelfth lunar month, so it's normal for such a heavy snow to fall. "
Although she had seen the heavy snow in the capital last year, Qu Qing Ju still has a special feeling for snow, probably because she lived in the south in her previous life, and she always sees snowmen in the language textbooks written in winter, but in fact she can't make snow at all. Feel lost.
You can’t get it, but someone told you that you have such a thing since you were a child. For most people, it’s inevitable that you will be attached to it.
Yuran walked all the way, Qu Qingju occasionally opened the curtain, and saw some palace maids or eunuchs kneeling on both sides of the road, the world was still snowing, and the ground was cold, but these people were all kneeling upright, without the slightest perfunctory.
Entering the Fushou Palace, He Heng saw Feng shi kneeling in the center of the hall, and there were several pale-faced eunuchs kneeling behind her. Sit beside.
The earth dragon was burning in the Fushou Palace, Qu Qingju took off the fox fur cloak on her body, still felt a little hot, she pulled down the placket slightly with her hand, looked at Feng Zijin on the ground and asked, "Mother, what happened? thing?"
"This Feng family has a lot of courage in these years, the emperor and the queen, you should also take a look." After Empress Wei handed Chun Yu's confession to He Heng, she saw that the more her son looked, the colder his face became. Knowing that he was angry, he sighed. , "It's the mother who's sorry for you, and arranged such a poisonous woman for you."
"The queen must never be like this. Mrs. Feng acts viciously and is good at disguising. Is it your mother's fault?" He Heng was so angry that he patted the confession on the coffee table next to him, "It's just that I'm blind, and I keep such a woman. around for several years."
"Emperor!" Feng Zijin knew that the matter had been exposed, and looked at the angry emperor with some reluctance, "If it wasn't because the emperor wanted to marry her, and he loved her in the end, why would a concubine need to do such a thing?"
Seeing Feng Zijin pointing angrily at her hand, Qu Qingju raised her eyebrows. The marriage was bestowed by Emperor Qingde, and the marriage was decided by He Heng. Why was it her fault in the end? If you have the ability to harm Emperor Qingde and He Heng, what is it to poison the original Qu Qingju
"The empress is the concubine given to the emperor by the emperor. The emperor has a deep relationship with her husband and wife, and it is just right. You are a little concubine, but you are jealous and murder the empress. As early as in the palace, you poisoned the concubine and entered the palace. The palace even killed Han Liangdi and framed the empress. Such terrifying people would shamelessly blame the emperor for marrying his wife. messed up?"
"The Queen Mother herself is just a concubine. Don't you have a time when you were not reconciled, and now you are still a high-ranking Queen Mother?" Feng Zijin looked up at the Queen Mother Wei and mocked, "Concubine. What's the matter, they're all women, how is she, Qu Qing Ju, more noble than me?"
"What qualifications do you have as a poisonous woman compared to the Queen Mother," the Queen Mother looked coldly at the nonsense Feng Shi, "In terms of talent, appearance, and virtue, you are not as good as the Queen Mother. In the early years, when Aijia was still the queen The Empress Dowager adores Ai's family everywhere, not because Ai's family is not favored by the emperor, she is not neglected. The emperor who raised her is also talented and intelligent, and she has the people of the world in her heart. It is destiny that she is the Empress Dowager of the Virgin Mary. You are so poisonous What do you compare a woman with a direct wife to? It's full of absurd words, making people laugh and sigh."
The Queen Mother's remarks are always defending the Queen Mother, and also telling others that the Queen Mother agrees and respects her equal to her, and even pushes this height to the destiny, really praised the Queen Mother Wei and the emperor, He also made clear his position.
After listening to these words, Qu Qing Ju realized that it was no wonder that the Empress Dowager was not favored by the emperor for so many years, and she had no son under her knees. Emperor Qingde had never thought of abolishing her. Just this mentality and means, it was a lot of work. A transparent woman. But like Empress Dowager Wei, it's really a pity that I haven't met a reliable man.
She tilted her head to look at He Heng, and she saw that his complexion had softened a lot. She was obviously satisfied and grateful for the words of the Empress Dowager.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Shugui and Prince Rui have arrived."
"Xuan."
"My son has seen the two mothers and the emperor's brother and sister-in-law." As soon as He Yuan entered the hall, he bowed to the three of them calmly, as if he hadn't seen a few people kneeling.
This is also the first time that Qu Qing Ju has seen He Yuan since He Heng ascended the throne. Since she has never liked He Yuan very much, she didn't see much when He Yuan entered the door this time. But as soon as the other party opened her mouth, she felt that something was wrong with He Yuan, as if he had changed from a junior middle school boy to a taciturn uncle. The change was so great that she doubted the person in front of her and the past He Yuan.
After Concubine Shugui saw Feng Zijin kneeling on the ground, her complexion became a little ugly. Before she could speak, the mother Empress Dowager threw a confession in front of her, "Concubine Shugui, look at her. This!" If Mrs. Wei did this later, I'm afraid some people would say she was crazy. But if the mother and the queen dowager do it later, it is only natural.
He Yuan looked at the confession that fell to the ground, and then glanced at the mother concubine whose face changed, and knew that the mother concubine must have done something in the harem and the queen mother had found out. He bent down to pick up the confession, and when he saw that Ping Cairen and his concubine worked together to kill Han Liangdi and framed the empress, his originally calm face suddenly turned pale, and he turned to look at Concubine Shugui, "Concubine Mu?"
Concubine Shugui didn't dare to see her son, she said to the Queen Mothers of the two palaces with some guilt: "This throne should belong to my son, why should you live here?!"
"Shut up her mouth!" The Empress Dowager said solemnly, "Concubine Shugui, it is better for Aijia to be cautious in your words. The emperor's enthronement is justifiable. It's like turning black and white!"
"The concubine is ignorant, I beg the two mothers to spare the concubine's life!" He Yuan saw that the concubine was being held by the two maids, and the handkerchief was stuffed in his mouth, and he knelt in front of He Heng with a thud. Down, "I beg the emperor to take it easy."
Qu Qing Ju was sitting beside He Heng. She saw that the person who had been arrogant was kneeling in front of her like this, and she felt an indescribable regret.
When Concubine Shugui saw this scene, she kept shaking her head, but she couldn't say a word. She was so anxious that she burst into tears. How could it be seen that she was still the concubine Shugui in the harem a year ago.
Ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi, I am afraid that neither Concubine Shugui nor He Yuan thought that such a day would come.
Qu Qing Ju couldn't help but look at the two queen mothers, and found that both of them looked calm and terrifying, as if Tai Concubine Shugui and He Yuan were performing a non-funny show, they were critical but looked at them aloofly.
She couldn't help stroking her belly
