Cining Palace is located in the west of the palace, far from the Queen's Kunhe Palace. Compared with other palaces in the harem, the Cining Palace is slightly darker in color, which in addition to wealth and honor, adds a little silence.

Seeing Cining Palace from afar, Ayu suddenly felt relieved.

Although she was willing to show off, it was a great test for her to be intimately concerned by the empress dowager like now, facing the scorching eyes of everyone.

It was so far from Zhengyangmen to Cining Palace that she didn't feel tired and even wanted to speed up her pace.

Seeing that she was not tired, the empress dowager was satisfied with her body and was even more kind on her face:

"Is this kid still messing with you now?"

Ayu suddenly came back to her senses. She thought for a moment, lowered her head softly, and whispered softly: "Reply to the Queen Mother's words, it was indeed a bit difficult to bear some time ago, but now she is becoming more and more well-behaved."

As she spoke, she reached out to caress her lower abdomen. Just looking at her soft smile on the side, she knew that her obedient words were praising the child in her belly.

In this regard, the Empress Dowager not only did not think she was arrogant, but instead laughed: "He is a lively person, knows how to care for others, and is a good child."

Ayu immediately smiled and curled her eyes.

When a child is in her belly, praising her child is equivalent to praising her.

How could she not be happy?

The concubines following behind heard the conversation between the two, and it was unknown what the rest of them thought, but one of them was determined to look at their backs, pursed his lips, and his expression showed a little strange.

Meiren Xu was supported by Luo Yun and walked beside her. She glanced at her expression and lowered her voice as if she was a little regretful:

"If the Tsai sister had not had a miscarriage before, the Empress Dowager looked at her differently today, there would be one more person."

Chen Cairen suddenly pinched his palms, and the thorn in his heart was suddenly touched, making her heart hurt. She suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Meiren Xu, sarcastic:

"I don't have to worry about my beauty."

She turned her head coldly and her eyes fell on the exquisite figure in front of her. When she was in the boudoir, she knew Meiren Xu. Over the years, who still doesn't know who?

The little bit of conflict between Mei Ren Xu and Mei Ren Yu is not a secret in this harem.

Seeing her appearance, Meiren Xu did not react too much, but pursed her lips gently: "I just care about the talented sister."

"Care for me?" Chen Cairen asked back, as if he was funny, and glanced at her sideways: "My beauty Xu should care about herself."

"At least I'm still pregnant, and you?"

She didn't finish her next words, but she just chuckled, but this was enough to make Meiren Xu's face turn ashen.

Chen Cairen didn't care whether she was angry or not. But she was just a beauty who was one level higher than her. She really didn't take it seriously. In terms of family background and appearance, even in terms of favor. This beauty is not as good as her. If you dare to expose her scars, do you really think she is a good-natured?

Having said that, she couldn't help but tighten her handkerchief when she looked at the woman's erect belly.

That day, they were also plotted against each other, why did she miscarriage, but Mei Meiren was not seriously injured?

Is she really not that lucky?

Ayu naturally didn't know that Meiren Xu wanted to stumbling her again. If she knew, it would have caused Meiren Xu to be uneasy. She had already helped the Queen Mother step into Cining Palace at this time.

The Cining Palace is very big, with ground dragons burning inside and light sandalwood fragrance. As soon as I stepped in, I felt the coldness all over my body.

When she helped the empress dowager to the steps and sat down, Ayu glanced at the woman beside the empress dowager without a trace. As soon as she walked all the way, she was all over the empress dowager, but Ayu still noticed the sight of the woman occasionally putting her on her.

The woman looked very nice, standing tall and graceful, standing beside the empress dowager with her eyebrows down and her eyes glad to her eyes. She walked along the way, just pursing her lips and smiling without interrupting her mouth. Just looking at her appearance seemed very pleasing.

But Ayu couldn't feel any joy. In the harem, there were concubines and palace servants. The girl followed the empress dowager into the palace without any meaning. What purpose was she doing, the people in the harem could see at a glance.

Not only that, after just a few glances at the woman, Ayu couldn't help but think of someone.

Shortly after entering the palace, he ran into Zhuo, who was killed in front of Kun and the palace. The two of them had three-point similar eyebrows and eyes, which made Ayu couldn't help but mutter about their relationship in her heart.

After the queen spoke, Ayu learned about the woman's identity:

"My mother hasn't returned to the palace for a long time, so I just want to worry about me. How come my mother doesn't think about me?" The queen sat on the left side of the empress dowager, smiling, and as she spoke, she felt a hint of the delicacy of her daughter's family.

Ayu was surprised when she heard this. This was the first time she saw the queen look like this. She secretly glanced at the man.

She remembered that the queen was extremely dignified and steady in front of the saint, and she did not have such a delicate appearance.

She thought a lot in her heart, but found that the man seemed to be familiar with him. She was puzzled in her heart how to get along with the couple.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother was amused by her, patted her hands, and scolded: "All the mothers of a country, why aren't she solemn?"

The queen suddenly laughed: "I have been waiting for my mother to come back to help me, but I didn't know that my mother was so cruel and left me alone."

After saying that, she felt a little depressed and blamed herself: "I have not taken good care of the harem for many years, which has disappointed my mother."

The harem lost two imperial heirs, and the queen was to blame. The queen sighed lightly. Although she was a little sad about the two children, she didn't say anything about the queen.

The queen's biological mother left early, and her biological father was often on the battlefield in her early years because the late emperor had already given her marriage to the emperor. Therefore, the queen stayed in the harem for a lot of time and often stayed with the queen mother.

She was both a daughter-in-law and raised as her biological daughter, so the empress dowager naturally had more different emotions towards her than others.

The palms and backs of hands are all flesh. If you want to manage the harem well, it will be difficult for the empress dowager to make no mistakes. The empress dowager naturally knows in her heart, and she can't make things difficult for her at this time.

When the queen talked to the queen mother, the others naturally couldn't get in. Ayu lowered her head and heard the queen say gently after a while:

"I have always been worried that my mother would feel lonely in Mount Wutai. I didn't feel relieved until I heard that the second girl went to accompany her mother intently."

The queen turned her head and smiled at the man sitting aside: "Your Majesty, don't be stingy. The second girl is filial and must be rewarded with great reward."

Second girl? Ayu gently swept the woman with her eyebrows down and pleasing eyes.

I just don't know which second girl it is.

Not only that, Ayu discovered that after the queen's words fell, many people in the hall changed their faces, including the smile on the queen's face faded a little.

But the man leaned against his position and his face was as indifferent as ever:

"The queen is right, she deserves a reward."

As for what to reward, he did not say anything, but looked at the empress dowager with a slightly gentle face: "As for what to reward, it depends on the mother's meaning."

Before the empress dowager could speak, the woman who had been keeping her eyebrows and eyes finally moved. She took a step forward and whispered:

"The emperor and the empress have a serious conversation. My daughter just missed her aunt. I have been troubled by my aunt these days. How could I ask for the emperor's reward?"

aunt?

Ayu's eyebrows were moved without a trace, and she remembered the concubines who had just changed their faces in the palace. She sighed softly. Every time this time, she could clearly feel the difficulty of no one outside the palace.

Some things that others have known for a long time, but she is still in the dark and can only wait for others to solve her doubts.

Feng Yu tapped his fingers on the handle of the chair, and remained indifferent to the woman's words.

Rewards and punishments are all kindness of the king. She cannot tolerate her rejection, nor can she ask for it too much.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager had not spoken for a long time, he stood up and bowed his head to the Empress Dowager: "Mother, I have something to deal with in the previous dynasty. You are exhausted and you will have more rest today. I will come to visit you tomorrow."

The Empress Dowager did not stop him. As soon as the emperor left, the hearts of the concubines in the palace flew out.

When Ayu saw the woman's eyes falling on the man's back, she couldn't help but shake her head in her heart.

She really didn't understand. When this man called the queen mother, his identity would naturally not be low. Why did he insist on entering the harem with a scrupulous attitude?

Relying on the identity of the queen mother's niece, she was enough to live freely outside the palace.

Then, the Empress Dowager said she was tired and asked them to retreat.

Ayu was sent out by Madam Zhang beside the Empress Dowager, and she was also instructed: "If the beauty is fine, you can come to Cining Palace to visit the Empress Dowager more often."

"Then I remember the words of the nanny. Then the empress dowager and the nanny should not be bothered."

When she went out, she saw Zhou Xiurong still outside, obviously waiting for her.

Ayu paused slightly before walking towards her. The man had a chuckling face and said, "The red plum blossoms in Qingling Garden are very good. Can Sister Yu enjoy my face and go with me?"

Ayu walked side by side with her. Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but look at her:

"You are now the lord of the first palace, why do you still call me sister?"

Zhou Xiurong just chuckled: "I'm used to calling, and it's troublesome to change my words. Who knows what will happen in the future?"

"If you don't know what will happen in the future, then you will always know that if you are like this, if others hear you, wouldn't it be a break of the rules?"

Ayu didn't know what she was thinking, and she also remembered that the two had formed an alliance before reminding her.

Zhou Xiurong didn't say much about this matter to her, but only told her about the fact that Meiren Xu was provoking Chen Cairen on the way. Sure enough, after hearing this, Ayu forgot her name and frowned her thin eyebrows.

Zhou Xiurong said: "How come you have to be beautiful? Let her hold a grudge against you like this."

Ayu touched her nose awkwardly and retorted guiltily: "What can I do with her? I will rely on her."

When it comes to the charcoal fire, she was indeed provoking Meiren Xu first. She was afraid that Zhou Xiurong would ask again, so she quickly changed the topic:

"What's going on with that second girl?"

The two arrived at Qingling Garden at this time, and red plums hung on the branches. Ayu was held under the tree and she was rarely relieved. She raised her hand to break the flower branches, turned her bare hands and inserted it into Zhou Qi's hair bun.

Zhou Qi was slightly stunned, and when she saw the smile in the master's eyes, she barely lowered her head.

Zhou Xiurong only watched her movements quietly. When she came back, she led her towards the pavilion. There were no outsiders around her and she spoke:

"It's just about telling you this."

"That woman is the second girl of the Zhang family. You should know that Zhang is the mother of the Queen Mother."

After seeing her nodding, Zhou Xiurong continued, "Do you know that the eldest girl in the Zhang family failed to enter the royal family three years ago. Later, in the June talent show, the Zhang family did not care about the legitimate and illegitimate children, and all the three girls were defeated?"

Ayu opened her beautiful eyes widened. She really didn't know about this.

During that time, she focused all her attention on Rongpin and Chen Cairen, so how could she take care of other things?

She heard Zhou Xiurong say again: "This second girl from the Zhang family went to Mount Wutai shortly after she was not elected."

"You think, why is she this time?"
