prosperous life

Inner Garden of the Imperial Palace Chenxi Palace Chengyuan 22nd Year

After Rong Ningjin brought Sui Ying to congratulate the queen, she went to the queen mother to pay her respects.

For some unknown reason, the queen's body miraculously recovered after the winter, so the new year's Empress Zhaohe took advantage of the opportunity to appear on the stage this time. This long-lost comeback brought a lot of excitement to everyone sensation.

However, Rong Ningjin had already learned about it from Sui Ying, so she didn't have a big feeling, but thinking of the smell of medicine that she smelled before, it was different from the medicine smell that she smelled when she saw the queen a few years ago. Rong Ningjin didn't know what was going on, but the medicine used by the queen was obviously wrong...

When she arrived at the queen mother's side, Rong Ningjin found that there were a few who had arrived earlier.

The Empress Dowager doesn't need to preside over the concubine's affairs. Concubine Qing and Concubine Jing came directly to Chenxi Palace as if they had made an appointment. The people who entered the palace on the first day of the new year were all from the clan, and had nothing to do with the three concubines. Moreover, being together with the empress was obviously a matter of status. Those who are low will naturally not go if they can't go to Qing Concubine and Jing Concubine.

Concubine Gong also brought the second prince, Sui Leping, who had already arrived. The second prince, who was supposed to stay in Cheng Guogong's mansion, actually celebrated the New Year in the palace, which had to make people think more.

The Twelfth Emperor's daughter, Sui Juanjuan, had also arrived early, because she had never been conferred the title of princess, and in most cases, Sui Juanjuan was not allowed to attend formal occasions, not even the court celebration banquet for a while.

After a while, someone came in and reported that the banquet was about to begin, and the king of Lianyang sent someone to come to ask if the concubine of Lianyang was still in good health, do you want to go?

Sui Heng's way of speaking is very good, so that Rong Ningjin knows that Sui Heng must have told the emperor, because the banquet of the imperial family's court ceremony is kneeling, and Rong Ningjin is heavy, so it is just right not to go there.

Rong Ningjin didn't need to go there, Sui Ying still wanted to go, the half-grown girl was much more mature, although she didn't quite want to, she could only pouted and followed the maid who came to Changhua Hall.

Seeing this, Rong Ningjin deeply felt that she had to work harder on Sui Ying's etiquette education, otherwise it would be impossible for her to be so happy and angry on the outside in the future.

Sui Ying went back to the banquet to enjoy a new round of female music performances. The queen mother and others started talking and chatting in the Dawn Palace. Originally, the queen mother was not willing to take care of things like the clan banquet. Now the queen is fine and can take care of things. Naturally, the queen mother will not want to participate in the cooperation again.

However, the queen mother also felt that the queen's health was getting better too quickly, which was completely beyond normal. She couldn't help but think of the things that the prince had mentioned to her before the prince. It's hard to say clearly, especially Prince Lin said that the emperor seems to have noticed their actions.

"Empress Dowager, what are the dishes for lunch today? You can ask Lady Shen to tell Ning Jin, otherwise the dishes won't suit your taste, and Ning Jin will order more!"

The queen mother didn't know what she was thinking, her face was not very good, so Rong Ningjin acted like a baby, and asked him directly what he cared about. The pregnant woman was hungry and ate a lot, and of course he was picky eater, so he asked first. .

After listening to Rong Ningjin's question, the queen mother noticed that she seemed to be showing her emotions just now, so she smiled and said, "You don't need Qiuxue, brother Jin just tell me what you like to eat, and let them prepare it in a while, but listen to sister Ying My son said, the food you make is unique, it is very delicious, after a while, I feel that it is not delicious, so I ordered them to change it and redo it."

When Sui Ying lived with the Queen Mother, she helped Rong Ningjin gain popularity, especially when Rong Ningjin married Sui Heng and the new wife showed off her skills, the female officer sent by the Queen Mother was Shen Qiuxue, who also loved Rong Ningjin. Jin's craftsmanship is highly praised, and Sui Ye came out to help out, so the delicious food made by Rong Ningjin has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"Looking at the empress dowager's praise that Brother Jin is so good, isn't it stressful? After the empress dowager said this, anyone who wants to marry a wife will have to raise the requirements for middle class!"

Concubine Qing said with a smile, Rong Ningjin is her nephew, her skills are not very good?It doesn't matter, Rong Ningjin is as happy as she is good at craftsmanship.

Concubine Jing here also praised Rong Ningjin well, because Rong Ningjin helped her and Sui Ning, and she is also the uncle of her nephew Feng Xian, and she is also on good terms with Concubine Qing, so naturally she wants to help Rong Ningjin say.

Sui Juanjuan became jealous when she was on the sidelines, why is this Rong Ningjin good in everything, she is the emperor's daughter!Isn't she better than Rong Ningjin, why no one praised her?

Of course, Sui Juanjuan was just thinking about it, she was very timid, even if she was given more courage, she would just think about it.

Concubine Gong and Concubine Sui Leping were sitting next to each other, just smiling, it wasn't that they didn't want to blend into the lively atmosphere, it was because of the affairs of the Jin family that Concubine Gong and Concubine Sui Leping didn't know what to do.

So the Empress Dowager chatted happily with Rong Ningjin, Concubine Qing, and Concubine Jing, and the female officer next to her, Shen Qiuxue, was able to interject a few words, compared to Sui Juanjuan twisting a handkerchief, and Concubine Gong and Sui Leping bowed their heads in thought.

Of course, this situation didn’t last long, and soon someone said that the news just came that the banquet at the Changhua Palace had ended, and it is estimated that the emperor had brought the people left behind to participate in the royal dinner to the Chenxi Palace. Yes, it should be here soon.

Although the queen mother felt that the speed at the Changhua Palace was not so fast, she asked Shen Qiuxue to order the servants to pack up quickly, and sent the twelve emperors Sui Juanjuan back, and then brought Rong Ningjin and Sui Leping Getting ready for the royal dinner.

Of course, although other people are not eligible to participate in the dinner party, those like Concubine Jing can still take the opportunity to stay in the side hall, waiting for the opportunity to meet her son and the county king Sui Ning.

Concubine Qing here felt that she couldn't bear to keep Concubine Jing alone, so she also stayed. Concubine Gong also stayed when she saw Concubine Jing and Concubine Jing staying here.

Although Sui Juanjuan wanted to take the opportunity to increase the emperor's impression of her, but she didn't dare to take any real action, because the queen mother sent her back very clearly just now.

Rong Ningjin and Sui Leping followed the queen mother to the palace gate, and when they saw the emperor approaching from a distance, they stopped immediately.

Because there were not many people behind the emperor, only Prince Lin, Sui Heng, Sui Ye and Sui Ning were accompanying him. Rong Ningjin felt strange when she saw it, where is Sui Ying?

The distance was not far away, so the emperor quickly came to the empress dowager's group, looked at Rong Ningjin and Sui Leping behind the empress dowager, the emperor said directly to the empress dowager

"Mother, my son needs to consult and deal with some matters. There is also the emperor uncle, brother Heng and his wife Ping, too! As for Brother Page and Brother Ning, we will go to see Concubine Qing and Jing first. Concubine, call them later."

After the emperor finished speaking, he entered the main hall. The queen mother took a look at Prince Lin, and followed the emperor in together with Prince Lin.

Rong Ningjin looked at Sui Heng, and Sui Heng gave him a consoling glance, although Rong Ningjin understood that it had nothing to do with the Prince's Mansion of Lianyang County, the husband and wife followed him in.

Sui Leping felt a little dizzy, but could only hold on and enter the main hall.

Soon all the female officials in the palace came out with the maids, and the heavy palace door was slowly closed.

Sui Ye and Sui Ning looked at each other, and decided to go directly to the side hall to see their mother and concubine.

The emperor was a little tired sitting on the chair, and waved his hand for others to sit down.

After the Queen Mother and Prince Lin took their seats, the three juniors also saluted and sat down.

"When did the queen mother know about the queen?" the emperor asked while pinching his forehead with his hands.

The queen mother's eyes flashed and said, "When did the emperor know about it? The Ai family knew about it a few days earlier than the emperor." Presumably the emperor is also feeling uncomfortable now, so the queen mother just said it directly.

"You don't have to pity the queen. She has done too much. Originally, Aijia just thought that the queen was recuperating her body all day long. The doctors in the imperial hospital also said that the queen's body was just weak. But in the past 20 years, she has been So, a little strange.

Later, it was the emperor who brought up the matter of Feifeng Palace, and Prince Lin brought up the matter of Duke Cheng's mansion and the Xiao family, and the Ai family was connected together. I really didn't expect the empress to hide so deeply.

The emperor now that Jiang Qingyue is no longer qualified for the post of empress, how does the emperor deal with her? "

"My son has ordered someone to send her back to Feifeng Palace to take care of her..." the emperor said helplessly, "After all, a husband and wife are together..."

Prince Lin said directly, "The emperor has already got involved with the barbarians. Whether it's a husband and wife or a brother, you must deal with it well, because you are the emperor of Dasheng!"

What the Prince Lin, the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor said was in Rong Ningjin's ears, but she just couldn't understand it!Didn't they ask Sui Heng to investigate the affairs of Xiao's family?How come you have something to do with the barbarians when you come to Prince Lin's side!Or are they actually two things, but the queen mother clearly mentioned the Xiao family, what is going on?

Sui Leping also had the same doubts. Before Sui Leping found out that Cheng Guogong's government had participated in some things that invaded the people's fields, which is not something a courtier should do seriously, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the Hu people!

The most critical moment was when Prince Lin explained, "Brother Heng checked the affairs of the Xiao family before, and found an adopted daughter of the Xiao family. Later, he found out that the adopted daughter had something to do with Cheng Guogong's mansion, because it involved meritorious officials, but it seems that the woman The origin is unknown, so I told the old man about it."

Prince Lin heard Sui Heng's words and heard that the woman looked like a queen, so he fell in love very quickly.Then Prince Lai began to arrange manpower to investigate.
