Queen is the top

Shi Yuqing got up early thinking that he was going to go out today, his eyes were filled with anticipation, and he looked refreshed, which made He Jingyi feel much happier.

The two of them packed up and were about to go out when Yun Donghai came to report: "Xu Tinglu is here."

He Jingyi let him in, Xu Tinglu was brought into the hall by Yun Donghai, he bowed to greet him, got up and said: "His Royal Highness, the emperor has urgent matters, please go to Qinzheng Hall to discuss."

Upon hearing this, He Jingyi glanced at Shi Yuqing, nodded his head and said, "I'll go right away."

Xu Tinglu bowed and said: "The old slave will leave first."

It seemed that the original plan had to be cancelled, Shi Yuqing was inevitably disappointed, but he also knew that He Jingyi must have a heavy workload as the crown prince, as he had to go to the Shangshu Hall to discuss important matters with others every day.

Shi Yuqing smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, go quickly."

He Jingyi looked at his disappointed eyes, and gently stroked his cheek with his fingers: "You have been in the palace for nearly ten days, and you haven't left Zichen Palace to visit another palace."

Shi Yuqing looked at him puzzled and listened to him quietly.

"The Palace of Qinzheng is not far from the Imperial Garden, do you want Yuqing to go for a stroll? When I come back from the Palace of Qinzheng, we will go out together."

Shi Yuqing raised her eyebrows slightly, "Are we going out today?"

He Jingyi took his hand: "Today is the day we agreed."

Shi Yuqing didn't want him to delay his business, so she wanted to persuade him. As soon as he said the word "Dian", He Jingyi's index finger blocked his lips.

"Let's go."

Shi Yuqing glanced at the finger he moved away, touched her lips, and was led by him to the imperial garden.

He Jingyi sent Shi Yuqing to the Imperial Garden, ordered Lu Fu, Qiu Zhi and others to take good care of him, and took them to the Palace of Qinzheng.

The Imperial Garden is the largest garden in the imperial palace, surrounded by rare rocks, precious flowers and plants of various colors, because the Changhe Garden in Zichen Palace also has many precious flower stones, but there are not as many varieties as the Imperial Garden, Shi Yuqing was surprised to find that There are so many rare and exotic animals, which makes me very happy to look at them.

Qiu Zhi took him along and introduced the various scenery of the imperial garden. Shi Yuqing asked in doubt: "Aunt Qiu Zhi is the female official in charge of Yuming Palace, how can she know everything outside Zichen Palace so well?"

Qiu Zhi lowered her head and smiled softly: "Back to the Crown Princess, the servants were originally serving the Empress Duan Zhaorong. After the Madam passed away, the Prince transferred the servants to serve in the Yuming Palace."

Shi Yuqing nodded: "So that's how it is. The imperial garden is beautiful and picturesque. I have read about these animals and flowers and trees in books, but they are not as shocking as seeing them with my own eyes. Aunt Lao will introduce them to me."

Seeing that he enjoyed it, Qiu Zhi covered her mouth and smiled: "Don't bother, as long as the Crown Princess likes it."

Seeing Xinqi, Shi Yuqing took bigger steps than usual. He looked to the left and looked again, sometimes his eyes widened in surprise, and sometimes he raised the corners of his mouth happily. The half-grown child, who usually treats people with a stable look, is completely gone at this time, but it is more lively.

Shi Yuqing walked around a pool of lotus leaves, raised his hand and gently stroked a row of weeping willow branches, the blue ribbons slipped through his hands, causing ripples in the pool water.

He watched the red koi in the water running away in a hurry and was amused.

Lu Fu, who was following behind him, smiled towards Qiu Zhi who was beside him: "If the Crown Princess looks like this, if His Royal Highness sees it, he will be very happy."

Qiu Zhi covered her mouth and said, "Since the concubine entered the palace, His Highness the Crown Prince is much happier than before, and the servants are also happy to see it."

Lu Fu nodded in agreement: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never been married, nor accepted a good concubine or Fengyi, and even the maids bestowed by the emperor have not been summoned and sent out of the palace. All day long, he only knows how to work hard to assist the emperor. The Crown Princess doesn't talk much, but her thoughts are simple, it's really rare for the two of them to be so harmonious."

Qiu Zhi laughed and said, "Elder-in-law is right."

The two were talking and laughing, when a cat meowing suddenly caught Shi Yuqing's attention, he searched for the source of the sound, and soon saw a very fat white-haired lion cat in the grass. cute.

Shi Yuqing loves these cute and long-haired animals when he urinates. Now seeing this lion cat, his eyes light up, and he wants to pick it up and touch its soft long hair, so he walked towards the cat quietly.

Unexpectedly, cats are also sensitive when they are agile. He just took two steps when he turned around and found him. With a meow, he jumped forward and ran away.

Shi Yuqing was taken aback, seeing that the cat deftly jumped up a rockery that was as tall as a person, and then jumped forward.

Shi Yuqing walked over and wanted to go around the rockery, but before he got to the front, he heard an exclamation from the other side: "Where did the beast come from! It almost hurt me, come and catch it!"

I heard a few people reply "yes" respectfully.

Shi Yuqing was about to go to check the situation, so she took half a step, thinking that this is the harem after all, and she didn't know who was in front of her, thinking that when she first came to the palace, one more thing would be better than one less thing, so as not to cause trouble to He Jingyi , then stopped behind the rockery and turned to leave.

Coincidentally, when Lu Fu and the others arrived, they saw him stop suddenly, and without knowing why, they bowed and asked, "Your Highness, why don't you leave?"

Before Shi Yuqing could reply, the people behind the rockery seemed to hear voices, and before the people arrived, the voice came first: "Whoever is sneaking there, don't get out!"

Shi Yuqing was taken aback, and thought: I don't know which lady in the palace is speaking so sharply and chokingly.

Even if someone finds out, it's hard to hide anymore. Shi Yuqing straightened her clothes, turned around and came out from behind the rockery.

Before Lu Fu and Qiu Zhi opened their mouths, they saw him walking over and hurriedly followed him. When he went out, he was startled. In front of him, he was dressed in a bright pink dress, with pearls, hairpins and emerald rings on his head. It turned out to be four Concubine Hui, the head of concubines.

Shi Yuqing raised her head and looked at the beautiful woman with a charming face and an angry face, and she didn't know what to call her for a while.

When Lu Fu was about to speak to remind, the female officer in charge of Concubine Hui had already sternly reprimanded her: "Bold! Kneel and salute when you see Concubine Hui!"

Theorist Yuqing didn't need to salute Concubine Hui, but he was not familiar with many matters when he first arrived in the palace, and he also knew that Concubine Hui's family was prominent, and he was at odds with the Queen, thinking that one thing more is worse than one thing less, so he cupped his hands and said: " Shi Yuqing has seen Concubine Hui."

Concubine Hui's originally furrowed brows gradually eased, and turned into confusion: "Who are you? I've never seen you in the palace."

Shi Yuqing was about to answer, but saw that the female officer beside her opened her eyes wide, and her voice became much quieter. She was surprised and said to Concubine Hui: "My lady, the crown princess is called Shi Yuqing."

Concubine Hui supported her with one hand and a senior eunuch with the other. Hearing this, she turned her head to look at Shi Yuqing.

Her agate-black pupils glanced up and down at Shi Yuqing a few times, then snorted, her eyelids swept over him contemptuously: "Who am I? So it's the prince's new concubine."

Shi Yuqing was startled when she heard her unkind tone, remembering that she had heard at home that Concubine Hui is the eldest prince and the Holy Mother, her mother's family is prosperous, her father is high-ranking and powerful, and holds a heavy army in her hands. She herself is also very favored, and she has always been arrogant and domineering in the palace , even the queen is afraid of three points.

Seeing her attitude towards him regardless of etiquette and dignity today, he knew that her words were true and that this person was not easy to get along with. He was thinking about it in his heart, so he kept silent and ignored her cynicism.

Concubine Hui's eyes rolled slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up with calculations: "Did the Crown Princess think about how to please the queen when she first entered the palace? Or she found this bastard and wanted to kill me!"

Shi Yuqing frowned when she heard her sudden reprimand, and paused: "Concubine Hui may have misunderstood, I did not intend to harm Concubine Hui."

Concubine Hui narrowed her eyes and said with a sneer, "You said no, then where did this cat come from?"

Shi Yuqing glanced at the cat caught by the eunuch, and replied calmly: "The cat is not mine, I just happened to see it and thought it was cute, so come and have a look."

Seeing that the cat grabbed the hand of the eunuch next to Concubine Hui, Shi Yuqing told him to let go of the pain, and immediately ran away. The movement was fast and dexterous, and she couldn't hold back even if she wanted to laugh.

Seeing the cat running away, Concubine Hui asked someone to catch her, she raised her chin, her eyes were full of stern light: "That's it, you saw me here, you purposely chased that cat to hurt me."

Shi Yuqing was inexplicably wronged and already noticed that something was wrong. He just saw that there were no scratches on Concubine Hui's face and neck, and he was relieved to see that no one was hurt, but her aggressive words made him seem It was like letting the cat hurt him on purpose, he vaguely felt that Concubine Hui's move was intentional, and wanted to use him to hurt someone.

"The cat doesn't belong to me, and I don't know that Concubine Hui is behind the rockery, it is really unintentional, please don't be offended by Concubine Hui."

Concubine Hui rolled her eyes at Shi Yuqing, who was still polite and self-sufficient: "It's not intentional for you to say one thing, but now I'm surprised by you, but it's true, you just want to deceive me! You think I'm so stupid! "

Shi Yuqing secretly felt that something was wrong, and he was thinking about ways to get out, but he was too young and experienced, and he was not clear about everything in the palace, so he couldn't think of a countermeasure for a while.

Seeing that Concubine Hui was very angry, he was afraid that he would not want to settle the matter easily, so he was anxious, and said: "If Concubine Hui insists that I did it on purpose, I have nothing to say, Concubine Ruohui is not fair , I would like to go to Her Royal Highness’s Palace with Concubine Hui, and ask Her Royal Highness to make a decision.”

Lu Fu and Qiu Zhi were secretly surprised that Shi Yuqing was so calm towards the domineering Concubine Hui, and looked at him a few times, but when they thought of Concubine Hui's strength and favor, they were very anxious.

The relationship between Concubine Hui and the Empress is on the same level, even the Empress is ignored by her, let alone the Crown Princess, seeing her situation now, she is determined to teach the Crown Princess a lesson.

"Don't use the queen to oppress me! So what if you are in front of the queen?!" Concubine Hui immediately became angry when she heard the word "queen". Seeing his gentle and elegant appearance with extraordinary temperament, it was even more dazzling, and she snorted coldly : You have an average family background at a young age, somehow the prince was confused and married you as the prince's concubine. "

Listening to her harsh sarcasm, Shi Yuqing's brows that had just relaxed just now tightened again, and she felt angry and helpless in her heart. Concubine Hui didn't even pay attention to her mother's words, what should I do.He thought a lot in his mind, and stood quietly for another moment of silence.

Concubine Hui Xu said that enough, she glanced at him again, seeing that he didn't have the slightest fear or panic, instead she lost her composure like a clown, her anger became even stronger, the corner of her mouth turned down, and she said to the female official in charge: " Magpie, call me."

Everyone was startled, Shi Yuqing didn't show disbelief until now, he knew that Concubine Hui was very favored by the emperor, but he didn't expect her to be so domineering that she dared to offend her.

Lu Fu knew Concubine Hui was a human being on a regular basis, when he heard this, he immediately knelt down and said: "Young concubine and lady can't do it, the position of princess concubine is only below the empress, you absolutely can't beat him!"

Concubine Hui sneered after hearing this, and said to herself: So what if I am above me, if there is no my father and my brother, the emperor can become the emperor?I'm afraid Yuan Yuhua will die to be her queen!All of you are safe and peaceful now thanks to my father, and you dare to fight against me and the First Prince!I just beat the princess today. If I violated this rule, what can the emperor and queen do to me? !

Concubine Hui's heart tightened when she thought of the queen, and her jealousy arose. Her father fought bloody battles, and her brother died to save Cheng Yingzong. Why is Yuan Yuhua the queen and not her!The crown prince is He Jingyi, not her Mingcheng!

It's just that she is the original spouse of Cheng Yingzong and her father is a grand teacher. Sooner or later, she will definitely become a queen and her son will become a prince.

Qiu Zhi was so anxious that her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and the handkerchief in her hand was deformed. She wanted to leave quietly to find the prince, but before she could move, she heard Concubine Hui coldly say, "Do you want to send rescuers? I She is the biological mother of the eldest prince, and has the right to assist the harem, and the crown princess deliberately let the cat hurt me, so she should be punished according to the palace rules, even if the emperor comes, you can't blame me."

Shi Yuqing raised her eyes to look directly at Concubine Hui with a solemn expression, her tone was still gentle, but there was a hint of coldness, "Concubine Hui, according to the palace rules, you have no right to punish me privately."

Concubine Hui narrowed her eyes and stared back at Shi Yuqing. This remark made her even more angry. She snorted coldly, shook the emerald green handkerchief, and said to the magpie beside her, "Hurry up!"
