A wave of unrest

After a while, the queen hurriedly returned to the bedroom. Just when she entered the door and was about to speak, she suddenly saw Concubine Rong standing in front of the mahogany box, looking at it curiously. Her heart was trembling for a moment, and she even forgot what she was going to say.

She deliberately stepped forward and tried to cover up one or two things, but she was afraid that there was no three hundred taels of silver here.

Just when she didn't know what to do, Concubine Wu saw that she was at a loss, but she suddenly had a different idea. She stood up and asked: "Mother, could it be that something happened again in Qianqing Palace?!"

There was concern for the emperor in his words, as well as a bit of uncontrollable excitement.

"Yes and no."

The queen nodded subconsciously, and then shook her head hurriedly: "It is said that there is an impeachment tip that makes the emperor very angry. Concubine Li who is on duty is afraid that something will go wrong, so she wants me to go over and persuade her."

Concubine Rong also looked away from the mahogany box at this time, turned around and sighed: "It is said that a friend in need is a friend indeed, and now I am the empress..."

She paused slightly, and then added Concubine Wu: "Your Majesty can still listen to me when I talk to Sister Wu."

In fact, Concubine Wu did not dare to say a word in front of the emperor, and her performance was even worse than Concubine Rong.

But the more this happened, the more Concubine Wu couldn't help but feel complacent when she heard Concubine Rong compare her with the Queen - she had no intention of going into this muddy water at first, but after Concubine Rong praised her, she couldn't help but feel proud. He volunteered to go to Qianqing Palace with the Queen.

When Concubine Rong saw this, she resigned first.

When I came out of Chuxiu Palace, I thought about the scene just now, and thought that San Cun Ding looked very coaxable, otherwise I would use her as a breakthrough first.

The so-called "three-inch Ding" is a mockery of Concubine Wu's short stature.

However, although Concubine Wu was petite, her body proportions were very well-proportioned, and she was also good at dancing. She was nicknamed "Sai Feiyan" in the past, and she was far from comparable to a three-inch girl.

After thinking about how to please Concubine Wu for a while, Concubine Rong remembered the red wooden box again. The queen was obviously very attached to that thing at that time, and the shape of the box was not like what was commonly used in women's houses.

Could it be said that the 'important things' related to Jiao Changqing were sealed inside?

Thinking of the emperor's reply that she heard earlier, Concubine Rong's heart was filled with excitement. She wished she could go back and open the box and take a look.

But there is a special lock hanging on it, which is obviously not that easy to open.

What method should we think of to find out what's going on?

The words are divided into two parts.

However, after sending Concubine Rong away, the Queen said to Concubine Wu: "Sister, please wait for me outside for a while. I will go get some things."

With that said, he quickly returned to the bedroom, found a brocade handkerchief of the same color as the surrounding furniture, and covered most of the mahogany box.

In fact, when she first got this thing back, she also thought about hiding it deep in the cabinet, but she was always worried, fearing that someone would take it away, and she would not notice it in time, so she finally chose to put it in plain sight. On the surface, there are two internal and external locks for safety.

After covering it with a veil, she took a half step back and looked up and down. She was slightly relieved when she saw that the mahogany box no longer looked dazzling.

but……

Sister Rong Fei had just looked at it for a while. If she found out that she had covered it up in the future, would she become suspicious because of it?

"Empress?"

At this time, Concubine Wu was impatient to wait outside and couldn't help raising her voice to urge her. The queen had no choice but to put aside her anxiety and quickly left the dormitory.

After the two of them left the Chuxiu Palace and chatted all the way, the queen's mood gradually calmed down. She was thinking about how to persuade the emperor when she suddenly heard Concubine Wu complaining in a low voice: "Concubine Rong has such a face, only the empress can do that."

Have you seen it? When she was favored earlier, it was not like this. Every time we meet, I wish I could shove those two ounces of meat into your face - hum~ Isn't it just that she is fatter than others? What's the good thing?

Proud?!"

Two ounces of meat?

The Queen was stunned for a moment before she realized what she was doing. She said in her heart that it was not even two pounds.

But was Concubine Rong like that before?

She recalled it for a while, but could hardly find any similar memories. Firstly, Concubine Rong did not dare to make a mistake in front of her. Secondly, although she was not as good as Concubine Rong, she was also a provocateur in the harem, so she faced

Concubine Rong has nothing to feel inferior to - and if one insists on concubine Wu having any shortcomings, it would be her breasts that complement her stature.

Speaking of which...

The queen subconsciously glanced at the aggrieved Concubine Wu, secretly thinking that not only Concubine Rong had changed, but how could Concubine Wu not be the same?

If it were before His Majesty suffered a stroke and hemiplegia, with her timid character, how could she have dared to blatantly criticize Concubine Rong in front of her?

The previous behavior of actively questioning Jiao Shun’s teaching is absolutely impossible!

But after Wu Guifei applied the eye drops, there was no response from the queen for a long time, so she couldn't help but said: "My queen, please don't let her be coaxed. This slut is very mean. She will do anything to keep her favor. I

I heard before..."

At this point, she stood up on tiptoes to whisper to the queen, but found to her embarrassment that even though she stood up on tiptoes, her mouth had only just reached the queen's shoulders.

Fortunately, the queen also discovered this in time and hurriedly listened, which allowed her to successfully whisper a few words.

The Queen's expression changed several times as she listened, not because of the shameful descriptions themselves, but because of the tricks Wu Guifei described, which she vaguely felt were familiar, as if they had been...

I’ve seen it in Jiao Shun’s two memorials!

The queen could not help but secretly sigh, thinking that the emperor not only read it over and over, but also learned it!

I don’t know…

Did he use the methods he learned on himself?

Once this doubt emerged, it lingered in her mind, so inadvertently, the queen had another motive for opening the memorial.

There was no more words to say on the way.

When they arrived at the Palace of Qianqing, the Queen and Concubine Wu walked into the bedroom one after another - at the last moment, Concubine Wu was still used to being timid - and heard the emperor roar from behind the curtain: "If we don't investigate this matter thoroughly, I will

After several years of hard work with the Ministry of Industry, wouldn’t those thieves get an advantage in the end?!”

Although she was out of breath after hearing this voice, it was obvious that the emperor's energy and spirit were still normal. The queen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then opened the curtain and walked in quickly.

Before she could persuade her, Emperor Longyuan, who was half lying and half leaning on the bed, turned his eyes and said angrily: "Why did you alarm the queen again? Concubine Li?!"

Concubine Li, who was trembling beside her, quickly knelt down and lowered her head without daring to say a word.

"Your Majesty, calm down."

When the queen saw this, she quickly defended her and said: "Sister Li Fei is also worried about your health..."

"Hmph~"

Before the queen could finish speaking, Emperor Longyuan snorted and looked at Concubine Li: "In the past, everyone was eager to be alone with me, but now that I am no longer useful, he pushed them away one by one, as if they were afraid of being contaminated by something.

!Although I am paralyzed, I am not deaf or blind..."

"His Majesty!"

The queen didn't care about the rules of respect and inferiority, and hurriedly shouted to stop the emperor's angry words.

At this time, the emperor was also shocked to realize that he had violated the emperor's taboo, so he "hum" again and fell silent for a while.

At this time, Li Fei was so frightened that she kowtowed and cried out for injustice. Her forehead became bruised and swollen after just a few blows.

The queen quickly stepped forward to help her up, and turned around to ask Concubine Wu to help comfort her, so that she could have her hands free to persuade the emperor.

Unexpectedly, when I turned around, I discovered that Concubine Wu did not dare to come in at all, and was still huddled outside the curtain.

She sighed helplessly, and simply pulled Concubine Li outside the curtain, called Concubine Wu, and said, "Sister Concubine Li is a little frightened. Could you please bear with me and send her back."

Concubine Wu heard that the emperor was furious inside, and was regretting that she should not have followed. When she heard this, she felt like she was being pardoned, and regardless of whether Concubine Li wanted it or not, she hurriedly dragged her away from the door.

The queen watched the two people disappear outside the palace door, shook her head and sighed, turned around and returned to the curtain alone.

…………

It's this afternoon.

Ten miles away from the west gate, Jiao Shun was lying facelessly on the grass. Little Zhixia, who was almost ten months old, was rolling and crawling on his belly, trying to break free, but was repeatedly corrected by his big hands.

I just screamed anxiously.

Xing Xiuyan had long been accustomed to the way father and daughter got along, so it was as if they had never seen each other before. She was playing badminton not far away with Ping'er, Cui Lu, Siqi and Yindie.

This is exactly the surprise Jiao Shun mentioned yesterday.

The Jiao family's backyard was not big, and it was difficult to maneuver the bicycle, but Shi Xiangyun had a restless temper, so Jiao Shuncai specially ordered someone to build a few badminton rackets so that she could exercise her muscles on weekdays.

As soon as Shi Xiangyun was mentioned, she jumped out to complain.

She saw her picking up little Zhixia directly from Jiao Shun's arms, and said angrily: "Master, you are fooling around, aren't you afraid that Zhixia will break your voice by shouting?"

"Children should exercise their lung capacity more."

Jiao Shun said, turning over and sitting up, cleaning the dirt on his body, and asked with a smile: "Why don't you play anymore?"

"I'm tired. Besides, I can't always hold the same position."

Shi Xiangyun said, lovingly placing his forehead against Zhixia's forehead, winking at her and making a few faces. Seeing the little guy giggling, she couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing this scene, Jiao Shun grinned and suddenly said: "Why is your body stained with so much dust?"

"Where?"

After hearing this, Shi Xiangyun hurriedly lowered his head and looked left and right, but it was really inconvenient to hold the child.

Jiao added by the way: "Turn your back to me and I'll pat it away."
