In the main hall, Xiao Chongyi had a careful conversation with Empress Tuoba, and found that she was actually a very good talker.

Xiao Chongyi first entered the Qian Mansion at the age of 14. Since then, she has lived quietly in the back house. After the emperor ascended the throne, she entered the palace as a Chong Yi. Where has she ever seen such a cheerful woman like Tuoba Yan.

The image of the heroine in the imagination gradually overlapped with the person in front of him, as if he had walked out of his mind, and the eyes of General Tuoba became more and more admirable.

Tuobayan accepts it calmly, thousands of women in the world admire him, and they have long been used to it.

The two chatted happily, and a court lady came to report: "Lin Jieyu from Ganze Palace has arrived."

Queen Tuoba said: "Let her come in."

Lin Jieyu entered the palace in a hurry. She was wearing a blue dress with a smile on her goose egg face. She rushed to the seat and bowed down to the queen. Changle."

Tuobayan raised his hand slightly, with a smile on his face: "Lin Jieyu is welcome, please stand up."

Lin Jieyu looked lively and cheerful, but she was not bad at all in terms of etiquette. She said that the queen was kind, and she bowed respectfully. Then she got up and went straight to Xiao Chongyi's seat.

There are not many concubines in the current palace, and when Empress Tuoba had not entered the palace, the highest ranking was the virtuous concubine An of the Yikun Palace. There was only one dead side concubine, Mrs. Gu, chasing after Zhaoyi, so Xiao Chongyi became the No. 1 concubine Anxian.

Lin Jieyu greeted Xiao Chongyi, the two looked at each other, Lin Jieyu smiled sweetly, and sat down next to her happily.

Tuobayan saw all these in his eyes, thoughtfully, thinking that the relationship between Xiao's and Lin's is really good.

At this moment, Beauty Xue also arrived, not too early or too late, stepping on the time, the low-ranking master below the beauty is not qualified to enter the main hall to pay respects to the queen, Xue looks quite safe, and knelt down to salute.

Concubine An Xian is still missing.

The atmosphere in Kunning Palace became awkward.

Tuobayan was smiling, his eyes were cold, Anshi was going to challenge her in a ring.

How could the three concubines in the palace fail to see the queen's annoyance, Xiao Chongyi drank tea by herself, Lin Jieyu withdrew her smile and sat quietly, Xue Meiren was more like a log, motionless as if she was about to touch the chair grow together.

And turn back the time for a moment, to the side of Yikun Palace.

Yan Che sat up from the bed, the sky was still dark outside the window, only a few lamps were lit in the dormitory, the brightness was just right, there was still warmth and a faint fragrance in the blanket beside him, but An Geyun didn't know where it was. went.

He put on his coat and followed the faint voices to find the entrance of the side hall. A few blurred figures were reflected on the window paper. The one sitting in front of the vanity mirror was probably An Geyun. Yan Che suddenly stopped and listened.

The dowry maid who risked her life to find Yan Che last night was combing An Geyun's hair. She said softly, "Madam, the imperial physician has already said that you should not be tired when you are pregnant. It is still early, why don't you rest for a while."

An Geyun said in a soft voice: "Yesterday on the wedding night, the emperor was supposed to be with the empress, but he only hated my poor health and made him worry about me. The affairs of the court are enough for the emperor to worry about, and the empress's side will be left to the empress." Let me apologize."

The maid's voice raised slightly, and she said angrily:

"Your Majesty and His Majesty are deeply in love with each other. The Emperor has said many times that if you have a prince, you can justifiably make your Majesty the empress. You finally got the good news, but you wanted to keep it from the Emperor, but let that rough woman snatch it away—" —”

An Geyun scolded: "Shut up! Don't talk nonsense!"

The figure of the maid knelt straight down, she choked up and said, "Your Majesty won't let Huaping tell the truth, but Huaping is really wronged for your Majesty. Even marrying into an ordinary family and being a good lady is better than living in fear in the palace. You I have copied so many volumes of scriptures for the Empress Dowager, and doing birthday gifts for embroidered Buddha statues almost hurt my eyes, but does the Empress Dowager treat you as a daughter-in-law? Others hate the empress for being favored, who knows the suffering of the empress!"

The room was silent for a while, and An Geyun's weary voice came out:

"If that's the case, don't say it again, or I won't be able to save your life."

Huaping had no choice but to agree.

Yan Che only felt a pain in his heart, he clenched his fists tightly and clenched his teeth.

If he hadn't heard the conversation between the master and the servant today, he would not have known that his mother had made things difficult for Ge Yun in private, let alone that Ge Yun had suffered so much. Career is empty talk!

Dai Jinzhong followed at some point, but he didn't dare to make a sound, and bowed his waist and waited aside.

"His Majesty?"

Yan Che came back to her senses, An Geyun was dressed up and stood in front of the door, her eyes were slightly red, she panicked and knelt down clutching her handkerchief: "This concubine is guilty, I shouldn't talk about the empress dowager behind her back..."

How could Yan Che be willing to let her kneel down, how could she be willing to let her be so humble, and rushed forward to hold An Geyun in his arms.The two embraced, and the maids and eunuchs all backed away. Yan Che whispered in An Geyun's ear:

"I only recognize you as my wife, Ge Yun. Whether it's the queen mother, the woman in Kunning Palace, or the old man Tuoba Jin... One day, I will hold my own destiny in my hands."

An Geyun burst into tears, she said: "Ge Yun has never doubted His Majesty's determination. Those who achieve great things do not care about small things. If Your Majesty delays the great cause for the sake of children's affair, then Ge Yun is a sinner through the ages and can only apologize with death." Already...Brother Che, even for the sake of Ge Yun and the baby in his womb, let’s go down to Kunning Palace to visit the empress.”

Yan Che finally agreed to An Geyun's request, but he insisted not to allow An Geyun to set foot in Kunning Palace, so An Geyun could only agree.The two were tender for a moment, Yan Che changed his court clothes, boarded the dragon and went to the court.

The tenderness on An Geyun's face gradually faded, she asked Huaping: "How about the two maids who were punished by Tuoba to kneel?"

Huaping hurriedly said: "I'm still kneeling, I'm sorry to see two delicate beauties, they all say that they are beautiful if they are kind, but Tuoba is so mean and vicious, he can't even tolerate the people around him, he must be ugly if he thinks about it."

An Geyun smiled: "Perhaps, I'm tired after tossing around for so long, help me to rest for a while. Don't forget to send someone to Kunning Palace for simultaneous interpretation."

Huaping said yes, and Fu'an Geyun went back to the bedroom to rest.

Please be safe, the emperor forbids her to go. Can she disobey the emperor's orders as a weak woman?

The maid of Yikun Palace knelt in the center of the main hall: "The concubine Xian is pregnant, and her fetal gas is not stable. In order to protect the emperor's heir, the emperor grants a special exemption from the ceremony. I hope the empress will understand."

Tuobayan remained silent, she took a sip from the teacup, fiddled with the tea leaves in the blue tea soup with the lid of the cup, and then asked Huaji:

"The empress and the concubine Xian, who is of higher rank?"

Huaji stepped forward and said: "According to the regulations of this dynasty, the empress is a super class, and there are four concubines under her, noble, virtuous, virtuous, and virtuous, all of whom are of the first class. The empress is the official wife, and the concubine ranks the highest, and she is only a concubine."

Tuobayan put down his teacup, and said indifferently: "I didn't ask you, so talk too much."

The halberd hurriedly retreated.

The palace maid of Yikun knelt so that her knees hurt, she secretly raised her eyes to look at Tuobayan, she was startled by the coldness all over her body, Nuonuo remained silent.

Tuobayan asked solemnly: "I asked you something, why didn't you answer?"

The court lady relied on her master to win favor, so she couldn't help but put Empress Tuoba in her eyes, so she just saluted perfunctorily, and her tone of voice and words were extremely arrogant.Tuobayan's question was a glaring pitfall. If she answered that the empress was more expensive than the concubine Xian, it would be disrespectful for her to call the concubine Xian a concubine in front of the empress; It is also possible to kill her directly.

Tuobayan asked for the third time, but the hall was completely silent, she said: "Yikun Palace teaches good manners, palm faces twenty."

In this dynasty, the palm of the face and the palm of the mouth are two similar punishments, but the latter is mostly punished by slapping oneself or being slapped on behalf of others. blurred.

The palace maid was terrified, she kowtowed and kowtowed: "Empress Empress, I know I was wrong! I will never dare again!"

Tuobayan sneered: "I taught you to be good, you should be grateful to Dade, you dead servant who doesn't know what is good or bad, listen up, I am tired of women crying, if you dare to scream during execution, you will be kicked out of the palace immediately."

The two servants dragged the maid down, and the sound of the bamboo board being pulled on the flesh was heard in the hall, and everyone fell silent.

Tuobayan said to Huaji: "Refill the tea for the young masters."

Hua Ji hurriedly continued tea in turn.

According to the rules, after the slap in the face, the offender had to come back to thank En and listen to the training. The palace lady crawled all the way over, the blood from her mouth was scattered all over the floor, it was so miserable that it was unbearable to look at.

Tuobayan sighed: "Don't blame me for being ruthless, the palace rules are like this, there is nothing I can do about it. Alright, go back and tell your master to take good care of your baby, and you won't need to ask for peace in the future."

Chasing away the maids of Yikun Palace, Tuobayan smiled and said to the three concubines: "Concubine Xian doesn't know how to teach slaves, I am the lord of the six palaces, discipline her for her, and let you sit with me."

The three hurriedly saluted, Xiao Chongyi said: "It should be so."

Tuoba said: "The three younger sisters got up early to say hello, let's all go back to the palace and rest, the days are still long."

Xiao Chongyi stepped out of the palace gate, and the two big maids in the courtyard had been kneeling all morning, looking sluggish, Lin Jieyu caught up and pulled her affectionately: "Cousin, wait for me."

The two of them did not sit in the sedan chair, and their respective palace servants followed behind at a distance, walking slowly and talking.

Lin Jieyu murmured: "It is said that the empress is heroic. I was skeptical at first, but when she got angry today, I was so frightened that I didn't dare to breathe. She is so powerful."

Xiao Chongyi and You Rongyan smiled: "Naturally, the reputation of General Zhenbei is not for nothing."

Lin Jieyu said: "But after all she entered the palace, that woman from the An family..."

Speaking of An Geyun, Xiao Chongyi frowned slightly.

Lin Jieyu changed the topic: "My good sister, I got some high-quality tea, you follow me back to the palace, if you like it, I will give you a packet."

Xiao Chongyi seemed to have thought of something else, her fair cheeks were slightly reddish, and she said angrily, "I don't, so go away."

Lin Jieyu didn't let go, and begged her lowly.

It was spread that the palace maid returned to Yikun Palace and begged An Geyun to be the master for her.

An Geyun was the court lady throwing stones to ask for directions from the beginning, but he never thought that Tuobayan would be so cruel.Speaking of which, even though she is an abandoned son, she is still a member of Yikun Palace, hitting her is slapping Quan Yikungong in the face, and she is really annoyed.

She said to Huaping: "Tell Xishun to find Eunuch Dai and tell him about this."
