Chapter 707: Cold Palace

At the same time as the imperial examination was over, an eunuch quickly reported to the harem.

Concubine Zheng seemed restless. She was always at peace and perseveringly, and she didn't dare to do a little bit of movement, and even didn't dare to have any connection with the outside court. It seemed that countless eyes suddenly appeared in the palace. These eyes were always staring at her, and a little bit of abnormal movement would cause a huge disaster.

These days, she was feeling like she was feeling uncomfortable. On the one hand, she was sad for her deceased father, but on the other hand, she wanted to laugh. The palace was also deserted all of a sudden, and no one of the concubines who usually walked around could be seen.

Today is the imperial examination. Whatever the internal and external courts are in fact fake. If the King of Pingxi is finished, her status as Zheng Concubine can be consolidated, but if the Zheng family is finished, her life may not be better.

Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, there have been no one or two concubines who favored her, but one day when people grow old, who can be favored and share three thousand loves in their lifetime? If the incident happened to the Zheng family, it will inevitably involve her. When Your Majesty looks at her again, he may not be able to feel good.

"The imperial examination is over, noble... noble..." The eunuch who reported the news was out of breath and gasped heavily.

Concubine Zheng couldn't help but tremble slightly. She rubbed her hands together and said uneasy: "You continue talking."

"Your Majesty has an order to order the lieutenant of the Martial Arts School to surround the Zheng family, and the King of Pingxi Shen Ao thoroughly investigated the Zheng family's corruption case. The noble man... I don't know what happened. At the beginning, he tried it well, but later... Later... His Majesty was furious and... just..."

Concubine Zheng's delicate body trembled violently, her eyes turned black, and she fainted again. These few people were very anxious, and now when she heard this news, it was like the sky had collapsed.

The eunuch was startled, and he quickly rescued him, and said with a sad face: "Negotiable...Negotiable..."

It was at this moment that a voice came from outside: "The Queen Mother has arrived."

There was already a mess in the pavilion. Someone carried Concubine Zheng to the bed and lay down. An eunuch went out to greet him. Sure enough, he saw the queen mother wearing a phoenix outfit and bringing Jingde and others expressionlessly. Everyone accepted the head and bowed: "I have met the queen mother."

The Queen Mother just smiled faintly and said, "Where is Concubine Zheng?"

Her tone seemed amiable, which made people happy to hear it. The eunuch hurriedly said, "Gui Ren Zheng...Gui Ren fainted again."

"Oh..." The Queen Mother casually said with a little regret: "Have her bones always been like this? Or..." She paused, and her tone suddenly became stern: "Is someone still saying something that shouldn't have said, which made her hear it? Did Concubine Zheng know about the news of Yu Shen?"

The so-called harem's failure to interfere in politics is actually just empty talk, but sometimes it may not be necessary. For example, the imperial court just now dared to inform the news, and the empress dowager said that she was interfering in politics, but she was interfering in politics.

The eunuch was sweating and said in a daze: "I... I don't know."

"Forget it." The Empress Dowager said unabashedly: "The Ai family will not pursue this matter. However, the Zheng family has committed such a big deal, so we cannot sit idly by the inner palace. It is better for Concubine Zheng to take good care of her health. The meaning of the Ai family is to let Concubine Zheng move to Qingning Palace to recuperate. Jingde, you can choose a few trustworthy servants who are quick to go to Qingning Palace to serve him."

Jingde bowed and said, "Yes."

Qingning Palace is a cold palace. It is said that the palaces there are simple, and ordinary eunuchs refuse to go there. They say they are going to recuperate. In fact, it is to completely eliminate the future of Zheng Guiren in the palace. It is similar to the good court officials who suddenly sent them to Jiaozhi and Qiongzhou to play with mud. The next sentence selects a few trustworthy people to serve, which is even more surveillance. When the empress dowager mobilizes people, she will not leave any room for her, and she will never be a woman's kindness.

The empress dowager looked at the sky and seemed to be indifferent, saying, "I originally wanted to say a few words to Concubine Zheng, but I didn't expect that this is the case. Let Concubine Zheng take care of her illness. The Ai family will go back for now." After that, she turned around and left leisurely.

Chen Ao came out of the palace and returned to the Pingxi Prince's Mansion excitedly. The palace was decorated with lights and guests. As soon as the horse fell, Liu Sheng came out with a smile and ordered people to open the middle gate. Chen Ao went in and said, "Your Highness, Duke Wei County, Duke Qi Guo, and many adults have come. They celebrate the prince's blessing in disguise."

Chen Ao couldn't help but smile and said, "Where did the misfortune come from, and where did the blessing come from?"

Liu Sheng was stunned. The young master always liked to talk nonsense. The words were too mysterious. How could he understand? He just laughed, but there was nothing wrong with laughing anyway.

Chen Ao walked into the main hall of the palace. Although it was called a hall, it was actually a living room. After all, the layout of the palace was too small. Although his identity was raised, the residence was just a different name. The guests inside rushed over and started to make a lot of fun at Chen Ao's silence and hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to-hand-to

These people were talking about the strength of the martial arts palace to protect Chen Ao. Chen Ao thanked them, sat down and greeted them for a while, and then the guests said goodbye one after another. Chen Ao said shamelessly: "Since you are here, you have to have dinner before leaving anyway..." He said that, but in fact, he had not ordered Liu Sheng to prepare a banquet just now, but just gave him a polite gift.

Everyone said, "I dare not bother."

Chen Ao laughed and said, "What are you talking about? Everyone is their own people, what is the trouble of having a meal? You don't have to be polite, you don't have to be polite." Shengqing tried to keep Jiang Min's arm, and even held Jiang Min's arm, saying that she refused to let anyone go.

In fact, the more people want to coax the guests away, they feel the most guilty. They are reluctant to disappear quickly, but they are most afraid that they will see through their thoughts, so they are even more attentive. This is a gentleman who is open and a villain who is always worried.

When everyone saw Chen Ao trying to keep him like this, they were hesitant and shaken. When Chen Ao saw that it was not good, he was afraid that they would make mistakes. He sighed and said, "Stop... Since you are leaving, I will not stay. You are all people with official duties. If I delayed official duties because I delayed my official duties, wouldn't I feel uneasy?"

When Zeng Wen saw Chen Ao say this, he said, "Actually, there is no official business..."

Chen Ao glared at his eyes and laughed: "Even if you don't have official duties, you dare not bother me. You guys take a break from your busy schedule. You finally have time to reunite with your relatives and friends. How can you spend it with me? The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water..."

Jiang Min interrupted: "I can't talk if I'm busy..."

Chen Ao said awkwardly: "That's good, this is good, then sit down." At this time, he decided not to leave food. In fact, it was nothing to leave food. He just came back excitedly and hang out with a group of masters. What's wrong with it?

After chatting for a while, the guests had finished their tea, but Chen Ao didn't ask anyone to change the tea. He continued to chatter without knowing it, saying that Taiyuan is so cold. When the next sentence, Taiyuan is so cold again, and he couldn't help but shrink his neck deliberately and said seriously: "That thousand miles of frozen world is cold again, and the wind is broken through the bones. Oh... I will never go again in the next trip..."

Everyone was speechless, so Weijun Duke Shi Ying stood up and said, "If King Pingxi is inconvenient, we will say goodbye."

If you only say goodbye, Chen Ao is afraid that you will immediately say that you have to go all the way and show a sincere expression and say a few other words. But the previous sentence was added to the King of Pingxi if there is inconvenience, it would be a little bit guilty. Of course, it is inconvenience, but you can't say it. If you say it, how can you get off the stage?

Chen Ao secretly complained in his heart and immediately said, "It's very convenient."

Fortunately, everyone was still on the road and finally didn't have any thoughts. Chen Ao let go and sent them to the doorman, said goodbye to each other, and returned to the hall, asking Liu Sheng to change to a new set of tea, took a sip, and guessed that when all the wives heard the movement outside, they would probably come.

Zhenzhen, Zhou Ruo, Chuner, Tang Mo, An Ning and others came indeed. An Ning was in a weak body. If she was wearing a thick fur coat and wearing a cotton cloak, although Miaomeng's figure was covered by the thick clothes, there was a noble and mature beauty in every move. Because of giving birth to a child, her face looked a little fatter and more plump.

Zhenzhen is still the same, her eyebrows and eyes convey her feelings, and her waist sways can make her feel weak.

Zhou Ruo is now feeling a little cheerful because his father is safe. Although he has become a wife, he is still two more playful.

Chun'er has seen many worlds, so most of the time she purses her lips and makes a reserved and somewhat distant smile. However, this professional smile immediately melts when she sees Chen Ao.

Tang Moer is most like a gentleman, full of books and a bit reserved every move. She takes a lotus steps and smokes, and even walks with a little tiptoe.

Chen Ao didn't go to see them, and he didn't even realize that they were coming in. He held the teacup and fell into thinking, as if he had encountered the most difficult problem in the world. His eyebrows were slightly lowered, his eyes were blank, and his hand holding the teacup did not move. His other hand supported the teacup table with his elbow, clenched into a fist, and his fist just held his chin.

This is a very strange shape, but it is obvious that Chen Ao is thinking. In his words, there is no difference between a person who is not good at using his brain and a walking corpse.

Chen Ao gently flicked his eyebrows, and his slightly closed but slender eyes, and his unmoving posture all had a kind of obsessive persistence. Usually, he was crazy, but when he did something seriously or thought about it seriously, he always added some charm to him.

Seeing him like this, the women took a lighter pace. Liu Sheng came over carefully and ordered someone to tiptoe to serve tea to the princesses. None of the women made a sound, looking at Chen Ao's persistent expression and drinking tea.

After a stick of incense, Zhou Ruo could not help but whisper: "Prince...Prince..."

"Ah..." Chen Ao came back to his senses, his eyes were blank, and then he raised his eyes and laughed: "When did you come?"

Zhou Ruo originally wanted to act angry and get angry, but when he thought that Shen Ao went to Taiyuan to save his father, he didn't touch the ground, and felt a little more care in his heart, he said softly: "He has been here a long time ago, what are the prince thinking?"

Chen Ao felt that the word "Prince" was a little unfamiliar, but the rules were always in place, so he had to give up and smiled and said, "Haha... No, I didn't think about anything."

Chen Aoyue said the more he was curious and worried. An Ning whispered: "It's okay to say it out and let us think about it for the prince. It's not good for the body to hide it in his heart. Sister Moer also made a bowl of Angelica and Astragalus Black Chicken Soup for you to replenish your energy..."

Tang Mo'er was exposed by An Ning, and her face turned a little flushed, and she hurriedly said, "It's not me who can do it alone." After all, she was smart, and immediately moved away from the topic and said, "What the hell is the prince thinking? It's good to let us know."

Chen Ao had no choice but to say, "Okay, you must ask, I have no choice but to say, don't be surprised."

Zhenzhen laughed and said, "So you have time to get along."

Chen Ao said seriously: "For my husband, I am thinking about a puzzled question."

Chen Ao did this, which was quite a pity for people to enjoy. Tang Moer smiled and said, "Honey, tell me."

Chen Ao had no choice but to say, "I just thought about why it is the Song Dynasty, Khitan, Dali, Dayue, and Jurchen..."

When the girls heard this, they felt embarrassed. It turned out that this was the case. Every family of their daughters understood this. I am afraid they couldn't help Chen Ao.

Then Chen Ao continued, "The customs of different countries are different, but there is a different place..."

Zhenzhen was knowledgeable and became interested at this time. It turned out that it was not a state affairs, but a matter of customs in various countries. She had heard a little about this.

Chen Ao took a deep breath and continued: "Even though they are different in eating habits or festivals, why are they not divided into east, south, north, or ethnic groups? All men in the world stand together, why aren't they squat? Or they slash one leg... strange... it's really strange... weird!"
