Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

The queen froze on the spot suddenly, a cold air shot up from the soles of her feet. She never thought that Xia Huanyu would use such a method to deceive her.

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?" The queen gritted her teeth, clenched her hands in her sleeves secretly, and after a while, she sneered and said, "The concubine is just looking for an inkstone for father, and your majesty is making such a fuss, could it be, Does Your Majesty feel that it is wrong for the concubine to find the Duanshi for his father? Or does Your Majesty think that the commotion about the stone monument in the city is caused by the concubine?"

Xia Huanyu heard the words, but just looked at her coldly, staring so hard that the queen couldn't help straightening her back, and after a long while, she spoke softly: "Since the founding of the Yuan Emperor, the Su family has always been the leader of the Xia Kingdom. Minister, may the queen know why this is?"

"Naturally, it is because the Su family has been very loyal to His Majesty for generations and has devoted themselves to it." The queen did not dare to look at Xia Huanyu, but turned her head to look at the phoenix with its teeth and claws carved on the pillars in the Tai Chi Hall.

Xia Huanyu nodded, but shook his head again: "You only said one thing. Apart from the loyalty of the Su family, there is another thing, which is tolerance. Know what to ask and what not to ask."

The queen's complexion became a little stiffer, but Xia Huanyu's voice was usually indifferent, "Loyalty and restraint are the foundation of the Su family's survival. But the queen and Su Taiwei have disappointed everyone." ..."

Xia Huanyu looked at the queen, and his voice was a little softer, but it fell into the queen's ears like a heavy weight.

"Sometimes, people should know how to be content. In whose hands should the country of the Xia family be entrusted, and how the descendants of the Xia family are, there is no way for a minister to intervene. Empress, you have not made any progress in the palace for so many years. , if it wasn't for your parents behind you to guide you, I'm afraid, you would have nothing by now. One must know how to be content, and now you are already below one person and above ten thousand people..."

The queen's complexion was pale, and her feet were a little vain, as if a stormy sea had set off in her heart. After a long while, the queen managed to stabilize her mind, with tears in her eyes, gritted her teeth and sneered at Xia Huanyu and shouted: "Your Majesty just wants to put that woman's son on the throne of God, and Your Majesty thinks that your concubine doesn't know? The concubine is just disappointed, the concubine's companionship for more than twenty years is not worth the short few years of that woman!"

Xia Huanyu's complexion became colder and colder, but the empress seemed to have been torn open by someone. Once she opened a hole, she couldn't stop. I chose it myself. But after the concubines entered the palace, they never got anything except this post. His Majesty would still greet the other concubines, but when he came to the concubines, His Majesty would always have a cold look. Even a word of concern is stingy..."

The queen's tears became more and more violent, and she could no longer speak the following words.

Xia Huanyu just looked at her coldly, and saw that she hadn't spoken for a long time, and then asked slowly: "Then the queen is hoping that the widow will abolish your position and demote you as a concubine, in exchange for the widow to greet you occasionally." ?”

Hearing what Xia Huanyu said, the queen froze suddenly, staring at Xia Huanyu in a daze, trembling a little, and didn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

Xia Huanyu sneered, stood up and raised his voice: "Get up and drive back to the palace." After saying that, he walked out of Weiyang Palace with his sleeves.

The queen suddenly fell down on the chair, her face was already wet with tears, and the hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard. The nanny hurriedly ordered the others to retreat, then quickly poured a cup of tea to the queen, and said softly: "Why do you have to confront your majesty so head-on? Now..."

The queen raised her hand, and said calmly: "Needless to say, Mammy, I'm a little tired, please help me into the inner hall to rest."

The nanny responded, and helped the queen into the inner hall. The tears on the queen's face were still wet. The nanny poured hot water for the queen and wiped off the makeup that had already taken off her face. After taking off the outer clothes, he helped the queen to lie down on the bed.

There are very few secrets in this harem, and in the early morning of the next day, almost all the palaces knew about Xia Huanyu's falling out with the queen in Weiyang Palace last night, and finally left in a huff. Although most people didn't know what it was, they all smelled something unusual.

When everyone went to pay their respects to Weiyang Palace on the second day, they also wanted to inquire about the current situation, but they didn't expect that the empress directly said that she would not be sick, so that the concubines never even saw each other.

All of a sudden, there were even more opinions in the palace.

In the Xiangzhu Hall, it was as quiet as before. For one thing, although everyone was guessing what happened between the Empress and Xia Huanyu, after all, the object was the Empress, so they didn't dare to be blatant. Second, because both Ning Qian and Lin Youran were pregnant, no one dared to disturb them easily.

Lin Youran had already begun to show her pregnancy, but because of all kinds of things that happened when she first became pregnant, the fetus in her womb was not very stable, so she never came back from the central palace, so she went straight back to the side palace to sleep.

After returning to the hall, Ning Qian sat on a chair and became dazed.

Qianxin came in from the outside, holding a note in her hand, and said softly: "Sister Qianyin has sent a message, and the outside has been done according to the master's instructions. The Ministry of punishment has discovered the death of the old craftsman..."

Ning Qian nodded, with a dazed expression, her eyes fell on the blooming jasmine in the hall.

"How long has this jasmine bloomed?" Ning Qian said softly.

Qianxin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's been more than a month, the servants ordered people to prepare a lot of jasmine flowers, and they were raised in charcoal basins in the house. When the flowers in the house fail, they can be replaced again. .”

"It's been more than a month..." Ning Qian muttered to herself, "Then it's gone."

Qianxin didn't know what Ning Qian was talking about, she was taken aback for a while, and then asked softly, "What, what's missing?"

Ning Qian smiled, shook her head, and replied softly: "It's nothing. By the way, who do you think is more threatening to Master, Concubine Shen Shu or the Queen?"

Qianxin was stunned for a while, tilted her head and thought for a long time, and then replied softly: "From now on, Concubine Shen Shu came out of the cold palace, her favor is flourishing, and Concubine Shen Shu has a king of Qi, so she should be more threatening. But... ..."

Ning Qian raised her head and looked at Qian Xin, "But what?"

Qianxin then continued: "However, Concubine Shen Shu does not have the support of her relatives. King Qi is not as likely as the Seventh Prince to ascend to the throne of God. In contrast, the servant feels that the queen may be the greatest potential. Hidden danger."

"But the queen has no children." Ning Qian said softly.

Qianxin nodded, then smiled and said: "What are you afraid of if you have no children? Now His Majesty looks very strong, and it is not impossible for the queen to have a male and a half female. And the former prince still left a Son? That’s the queen’s grandson? Even if the queen can’t have a son, the little prince is gone. There are so many concubines in the palace, and the queen is the master of the harem. Any child born to a woman below the concubine’s position can be given by the queen. Adopted directly."

After Qianxin finished speaking, Ning Qianfang nodded lightly: "Actually, the queen is not something to be afraid of, but the Su family behind the queen is a big hidden danger. Today, the Su family is still the largest family in North China. , and the empress will arrange for them in the palace, their ambitions are not small."

Qianxin heard the words, and raised her head to look at Ning Qian, "Yes, but now the master is not here, we can only wait for the master to come back before making a decision."

Ning Qian smiled again, and there was something in her smile that she couldn't understand.

"The queen is the hand of the Su family's layout in the harem, so I tried every means to cut off that hand." Ning Qian's hand slowly stroked her abdomen.

The master and servant were talking, when they heard the voice of the palace servants outside: "Madam, the Imperial Physician Liu from the Imperial Hospital has come to check your pulse."

Ning Qianfang restrained his expression and nodded lightly: "Please come in, Doctor Liu."

The curtain of the inner hall was lifted, and the imperial doctor came in after the two maids, bowed his head and saluted: "I pay my respects to Concubine Xiang."

Ning Qian smiled, "Doctor Liu please."

The old imperial doctor stood up, Ning Qian put the brocade handkerchief in his hand on his arm, and the imperial doctor stretched out his hand to check the pulse.

Ning Qian noticed that there was a strange look in the eyes of the imperial physician, Ning Qian frowned, and asked softly: "Is there something wrong with my pulse? But what's wrong with the fetus in my womb?" ?”

The doctor Liu quickly knelt down on the ground and said repeatedly: "No, everything is fine with the fetus in your mother's womb, and the pulse is stable."

"Oh..." Ning Qian glanced at Imperial Physician Liu with a half-smile, and then said with a smile, "Thank you, Imperial Physician Liu."

Imperial Physician Liu chuckled, saluted again, stood up and said, "I will take my leave."

Ning Qian nodded lightly, "Hui Zhaoyi seems to be a little uncomfortable in the past two days, and her appetite is not very good. Doctor Liu should also go to Hui Zhaoyi's pulse."

The Imperial Physician Liu quickly responded and withdrew.

Seeing that Imperial Physician Liu had left the inner hall, Ning Qian waved her hands coldly and said, "Qianxin, please change your clothes for me. Everyone else will step back, and I will take a rest for a while."

After everyone else left, Ning Qianfang put his right hand on his left arm, and frowned slightly after a long time.

Looking at it with a shallow heart, he felt a little worried: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with the pulse?"

Ning Qian smiled, "There's nothing wrong with it, it's really nothing wrong at all, if you don't believe me, you're here to feel my pulse?"

Hearing the words, Qianxin put her hand on it, but her face became more and more strange, with a bit of undisguised astonishment, after a long while, she suddenly withdrew her hand: "Niang Niang, how could..."

The smile on the corner of Ning Qian's mouth became colder: "From the beginning to the end, I have never been pregnant, but why the pulse condition with a weak slippery pulse suddenly became normal, I really want to know. "\u003c
