My heart hurts when I mention the abolition

Chapter 48

Today is the day of greetings.

Early in the morning, the sky was covered with mist, and at the crossing, the ground and walls, and the palace lantern grass were covered with condensed frost. Chen Yizhen was wearing a thinner dress, stood at the entrance of the palace road, opened his mouth, and let out a breath , Immediately, a group of misty white air scattered in front of the eyes.

Shuangshu took out the hand stove and handed it to her, "Your Majesty, take this."

Chen Yizhen took it, shrank his neck into his clothes, and nodded slightly, "Let's go, go there earlier and get warmer."

In this season, Ningshou Palace and Yongchang Palace must have already been burned with silver charcoal.

Both the ancestors and the empress dowager were too old to resist the cold.

When they came to Ningshou Palace, the little court lady who had already seen the eyes opened the curtain, Chen Yizhen walked in, took off her big clothes, handed them to Shuangshu, and was about to go in, when suddenly, her ears moved, and she vaguely heard something inside. An unfamiliar young female voice.

She paused and walked in.

Going around the screen and coming to the inner room, as expected, a wave of warm breath rushed towards the face, and the hands and feet that were frozen by the north wind all the way along the way immediately felt a little bit of warmth, and in a flash, they became warm.

Her eyes swept across all the people present calmly, and she stepped forward to salute with a smile, "The ancestor Wan'an, the empress dowager Wan'an."

But she was extremely surprised in her heart, if she remembered correctly, the girl sitting beside the Empress Dowager seemed to be the concubine daughter of the Xia family, Xia Conglin whom she had met some time ago.

Xia family, the main courtyard.

Mrs. Xia pointed out a finger to point her forehead bitterly, gnashing her teeth, "You say you, you have to piss me off to death before you're willing."

Xia Conglong leaned back, missed her attack, pouted, and asked, "Mother, what are you doing?"

"What am I doing? I'm asking you! Did you reject the person your aunt sent to pick you up?"

"Oh, that." Xia Conglong said casually, "That's right, I'm not feeling well, so I refused."

Mrs. Xia immediately covered her chest, her face was dizzy, and she was breathless, "You really want to piss your mother off to death."

"Mother, do you want your daughter to spend her whole life in the palace?" Xia Conglong was dissatisfied.

Mrs. Xia immediately put down her hands and tried to force herself: "What are you talking about! With your aunt in the palace, how can you let your life go to waste?"

Xia Conglong raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said with a sneer: "Mother, don't coax your daughter, she is not stupid, my daughter doesn't know what life my aunt lived before my cousin became the throne, don't you know?"

Mrs. Xia choked, and after a while, she opened her mouth to retort: ​​"Your cousin is filial, your aunt won't let you fall into that situation."

"My cousin is filial, but my cousin is an emperor first, and a son second. My cousin has a firm heart and a strong wrist. If my cousin insists on not wanting me to enter the palace, how can my aunt win over my cousin. "

After finishing speaking, seeing Mrs. Xia shut her mouth and showing a hesitant expression, Xia Conglong gritted her teeth and sat down, taking advantage of the situation to pursue, "Mother, just listen to your daughter's persuasion, that place in the palace may not be a good place to go."

Mrs. Xia hesitated...for a moment, her expression was depressed, "The family will definitely send a girl to the palace, if you don't go, you can only send it over there."

As she said that, she couldn't help crying, and hugged Xia Conglong, "It doesn't matter how much your father loves over there, as long as your grandparents are there, as long as the Queen Mother and the family are there, they will never surpass your mother, no matter what. Honestly, she served her in front of her mother, but you, if you really succeed in entering the palace, or even gaining the holy grace, will it be possible that you will bow her head in the future?"

She gritted her teeth, her expression resentful, "Mother will never allow such a thing to happen!"

Xia Conglong was amused, she patted her mother's shoulder, and comforted her: "That's why we co-authored, mother, you can rest assured, it's absolutely impossible to enter the palace over there, even if you enter the palace, It is impossible to be favored."

"Why?" Mrs. Xia raised her head with a puzzled expression.

Xia Cong hesitated, she never told her mother what happened in the palace and her own observations, she was afraid that her mother and the family would be disappointed, and she would do something impulsive again, but at this moment, she wanted to comfort her mother's heart.

"Mother, listen to my daughter..." She moved closer to her mother's ear.

After listening, Mrs. Xia's eyes widened and her mouth opened wide.

"You, you, are you sure?"

Xia Conglong nodded, "My daughter is sure."

Mrs. Xia was in a trance, for a long while, she murmured softly, "No wonder, no wonder..."

"That's how it is..." Mrs. Xia came back to her senses, thought for a while, and then sighed, "Forget it, since you insist on not entering the palace, your mother won't force you."

However, after thinking about it, she shook her head and said, "Even if you can't become a concubine over there, a noble person is still within your reach. Even if the emperor really loves the empress, it is impossible not to be a concubine for the rest of his life."

Xia Conglong disagreed with her statement, she lowered her head and muttered softly, "My daughter thinks that the emperor's cousin is not that kind of person."

Over there, in the palace, the Queen Mother is also talking about Xia Conglin.

"These days, the concubine always dreams about the girl's boudoir. When she suddenly wakes up, she finds that she has been in the palace for dozens of years. She thinks she is too homesick, so the concubine summons her niece from her natal family to accompany her in the palace. Concubine, chat to comfort my concubine's longing."

She faced the Empress Dowager and explained.

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly, "It's a good thing to have someone to accompany you. Since I'm homesick, let Sister Liulin stay in the palace for a while."

The Empress Dowager was refreshed, straightened up, and continued: "The concubine thinks so. It just so happens that the concubine has insomnia and dreams during this period, and she is not feeling well, so she wants to let sister Lin help the concubine with palace affairs for a period of time. "

After the words fell, Chen Yizhen raised his eyebrows, lowered his head secretly, looked at his nose, nose, nose and heart, pretending that he did not exist.

The Empress Dowager didn't say a word for a while, she put down the teacup, leaned on her limp and closed her eyes in a daze.

There was an awkward silence in the room.

The empress dowager was a little embarrassed, especially the empress dowager's silence, as if she was slapping her in the face, she moved uneasily, and looked at the emperor, "Emperor, what do you think?"

The emperor was silent. Suddenly, he turned his head and glanced at Chen Yizhen who was thinking about something. After a long time, Fang slowly said, "You and the emperor's grandmother should discuss this matter."

The empress dowager glared at him, because her ancestor was not good at talking, so she took the initiative to pull him.

The emperor held up the teacup and lowered his head, pretending not to see the hint from his mother.

Xia Conglin bit her lower lip, her fingers restlessly stirred the handkerchief clutched in her palm.

After an unknown amount of time, the Empress Dowager finally opened her eyes, glanced at her lightly, and said, "Although you are not feeling well, the palace affairs have been taken care of by the nuns next to you, so you don't need to bother too much."

The empress dowager's face was flushed red, and her voice was nah, "Concubine..."

"However, since you're not feeling well, you shouldn't work too hard, so it's understandable to ask sister Lin to help you."

All of a sudden, the Empress Dowager was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses, her face suddenly brightened, and she hurriedly told Xia Conglin, "Hurry up and thank the old ancestor for treating you with respect."

Xia Conglin bit her lip and stood up, her face was pink and her eyes were shining. She took two quick steps forward and squatted down deeply, "Thank you for your love, my ancestors and the emperor, please rest assured that my servants will not let you down." High hopes."

Greetings are over and return to Zhongcui Palace.

Almost hit head-on by a maidservant, Shuang Lu became furious, pushed her away, and cursed with his hands on his hips: "Little hoof, your eyes are blind! Where are you going to hit! If you hit your mother, how many heads can you chop off! "

"My lady forgive me, my lady forgive me, this servant did not do it on purpose." The little maid turned pale with fright, and knelt down with a "plop".

"Okay, it's okay, you can get up, just pay more attention in the future, let's go down first."

"Thank you, Madam, for your kindness."

Watching the back of the little palace maid jumping away in fright like a little rabbit, Chen Yizhen shook his head helplessly, and looked at Shuanglu, "You said that you are not too young, why are you so fussy like a child."

Shuanglu's eyes were red, her lips/petals were slightly pursed, and she gritted her teeth in silence.

That stubborn and aggrieved little look seemed to have been greatly wronged.

"What's the matter?" Madam Zheng rushed up to meet her and asked anxiously.

Greetings today, she didn't go, Shuang Shu and Shuang Lu accompanied the empress, so they don't know what happened in Ningshou Palace.

Shuangshu sighed, stepped forward to hold Shuanglu's hand, patted her on the shoulder, and comforted her, then said to Nanny Zheng: "Mommy, let's go in first and make a cup of tea for your mother."

"Oh, yes."

Entering the back room, Shuang Shu made tea for Chen Yizhen and briefly explained what happened in Ningshou Palace.

After hearing this, Madam Zheng opened her eyes wide and her breath became short of breath, "This, this..."

Don't blame Shuanglu, even she is not unmoved when she hears it. Although the empress is now favored by the emperor, no one in the palace dares to bully her, but there is still a long way to go before the grand occasion. One of them is the queen of the harem. control.

The second is to return to Changchun Palace.

However, regardless of the emperor's intentions, the empress dowager would definitely be the first to disagree, and the excitement in her heart gradually cooled down. She sighed and comforted her mother instead.

"Your Majesty, don't be discouraged. According to the current momentum, it should be yours, and you won't be able to escape sooner or later."

As for Xia Conglin, she didn't take it seriously at all, not to mention that the emperor didn't have any dissent towards her, even for the sake of the empress dowager, the emperor would not favor her, the empress dowager, I still can't see clearly, Chen The example of his family is right in front of him, how could the emperor allow a family of relatives to grow up again.

As for the empress, just because she lost the protection of the Chen family, she was given a chance to get closer to the emperor again.

Chen Yizhen put down the teacup, raised his eyebrows amusedly, "Who said I was discouraged? I wish I could never take back the power of the Sixth Palace."

In charge of the Sixth Palace, it was fun at first, but in the end it was endless troubles, such as how much clothes and charcoal to buy for which palace, which palace maid should be released when she is old, and new palace maids should be added, what kind of dining room? It is not consistent with the allocated amount of silver in the imperial dining room, how dissatisfied the inner dining room is.

All in all, blah blah, it's all trifling, laborious little things.

During that time, even though she promoted several nuns who helped take power, you still have to grasp the general trends and inflows and outflows. Every day when you open your eyes, you hear the knocking on the door from the nuns begging to see her, and her head will explode. .

She thought to herself, her face was a little dazed.

However, Nanny Zheng thought that she was just forcing a smile and that she might be sad inside, so she let out a long sigh and didn't dare to say more, for fear of irritating her.

As for Shuangshu, there is only one thing to worry about, "Mother, tell me, now that Xia Conglin is in power, she won't treat our palace harshly."

Before Chen Yizhen could answer, Mother Zheng said first: "She dare not, don't say she doesn't have that much power, just listen to the meaning of the old ancestor's words, you still don't understand, what is from the side, from the side is the assistant , you still have to listen to the queen mother and the mother in everything, even if she wants to get in the way, it's not convenient."

As for the queen mother and the nanny, they don't have to worry, the queen mother doesn't have that kind of brain, nor that kind of cruel heart.

Chen Yizhen nodded vigorously, deeply agreeing.

No matter who is in power, she never worries. With the ancestors and the emperor in charge, the harem will not be chaotic. As long as the harem is not chaotic, as a queen, as long as she is not greedy, she can do well.

After their analysis from the outside to the inside, from the shallow to the deep, Shuanglu also gradually thought about it, that's all, not just a bit of power in the palace, if she wants to be greedy, she will be greedy, anyway, she will return it to their mother sooner or later.

Everyone in Zhong Cuigong felt relieved, they didn't take matters to heart at all, and continued to do what they should do.

But in the evening, the emperor came over and sat down for a while, but brought up this matter again.

"What do you think, how about returning the power of the Sixth Palace to you?"
