A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City

"Qianyi Pavilion, Qianyi Pavilion..."

"Qianyi is thinner, your majesty treats me so cruelly." Zheng Meiren looked desperately at the tables and chairs in the Qianyi Pavilion. There was no one inhabited for a long time. Even if it was cleaned, there was still a lingering mold. taste.

"Niang Niang." Bai Shao reached out to help her.

"Shut up!" Zheng Meiren slapped her face and looked at her with bloodshot eyes: "How can a beautiful woman be called an empress, do you want to kill me? You all want to kill me!"

"You all want to kill me, yes, you all want to kill me..." Zheng Mei shook her hands and sat on a chair: "You people, you have wanted to kill me since you were young."

She bit her nails, remembering those things when she was young, and calmed down a little bit.

Don't panic, don't panic, things haven't reached the worst point yet.

She still has Yanze.

Yes, she still has Yanze.

Prince Qi’s mother and son descended to the throne one after another, making all the ministers upstairs astonished. Before they had time to intercede with Prince Qi, His Majesty made another decree to cut off the title of Prince Qi’s foreign family, and both adult men and women were sent to prison.

"Your Majesty." Sun Yichun, the head of the Sun family, stepped out of the queue in the sight of everyone: "I don't know what crime the Zheng family has committed?"

"Murder the royal bloodline." Emperor Longfeng looked at Sun Yichun: "Sun Qing's family, are you pleading for the Zheng family?"

Murder the royal blood?

The courtiers were secretly shocked. How many things did the emperor find out these days when the princes were locked in the palace?

There were also many civil servants who did not believe in the words of Emperor Longfeng. The four princes were both civil and military since childhood, and benevolent, filial, and elegant. How could it be possible to work with the Zheng family to plot other princes?

This must be other princes plotting against him, or... your majesty deliberately suppressed the fourth prince.

Someone secretly looked at Ming Jingzhou with his eyes. In recent months, his Majesty has lifted Ming's house everywhere, clearly paving the way for the five princes.

"Your Majesty." Ming Jingzhou didn't seem to notice everyone's sights, and stood up and said: "Your Majesty, please play by Rong Weichen."

"Caritas Qing, please speak." Emperor Longfeng nodded to Ming Jingzhou.

"Although the Zheng family made a big mistake, the Zheng family is the grandfather of the four princes. It is not a trivial matter that involves the royal blood. The Weichen believes that the six ministries should assist in the case, and the Zheng family should be right and wrong." Ming Jingzhou arched his hands. : "In this way, the four princes can also be innocent, without being affected by outsiders."

Emperor Longfeng slowly nodded: "Caritas' words are reasonable, so according to Aiqing's words, Liubu and Dali Temple will assist in the case."

The unknowing officials heard Ming Jingzhou's words and couldn't help but feel a little moved. The Ming family is too upright. As the future Yue family of the fifth prince, they are actually defending the innocence of the fourth prince at this time.

The expressions of the old foxes who had guessed something inside were a little subtle.

Ming Jingzhou here is begging for the four princes, he clearly guessed the thoughts of other people, and stood up to defend his majesty's fair image.

But no one thought he was helping the fifth prince, because what happened to the fifth prince in the Ministry of Rites had spread to the ears of all officials of the sixth department.

It is different to have the power of the dragon, if others dared to do it, I am afraid that your majesty would have been angered long ago.

On the second day that Concubine Ning was relegated to a beauty, the concubines of the entire harem with Grade 4 or higher waited honestly at the gate of Mingyue Palace early in the morning, waiting to greet Concubine Su Gui.

Jiuzhu got up in the morning and came out of the yard. He was shocked to see these concubines dressed up in style. These concubines did not look too young, standing there with lowered eyebrows, making no sound.

A concubine noticed Jiuzhu and squeezed a friendly smile to her before continuing to wait.

Jiuzhu leaned against the wall and ran into the main hall in three steps and two steps.

Concubine Su Gui was having breakfast. Seeing her coming in, she smiled softly at her and waved: "Jiuzhu is here? Sit with me and eat some morning food."

Fragrant silk served Jiuzhu porridge: "Girl, you taste this porridge, it doesn't suit your taste."

"Thank you, auntie." Jiuzhu tasted a spoonful: "It's delicious."

"Drink an extra bowl if you like." Xiangjian smiled and picked up some side dishes for her: "If the county owner wants to eat or drink, just tell the servant."

Jiuzhu nodded, she hesitated: "Manny, outside..."

"They are all here to please the empress." Xiangjian explained with a smile: "Ms. Ming don't have to worry about this. There are many rules among the concubines in the palace, and you will have a headache when you hear them. When you run out of court, the servants will let the palace people accompany you. Go to the Sixth Palace in Zhangzhou to play with His Royal Highness."

Jiuzhu looked up at Concubine Su. Consort Su rubbed her temples and sighed: "If you are curious, you can stay and listen later..."

"Then I'll go find your Royal Highness to play." Jiuzhu's back was a little cold, and the speed of eating increased a lot.

Seeing that she was so frightened, Concubine Su suppressed her smile, and when she put down her chopsticks, she asked the maid to accompany her out.

"You, why are you scaring her?" Su Guifei smiled and stared at Xiangjian: "Look, she even uses less food for the morning than usual."

"You can't blame the slave and maid alone for this, you are also an accomplice." Xiangjiang waited on Concubine Su to wash her hands: "It is clear that you are reluctant to bother the concubine Ming. The slave and maid became the wicked person, but instead of complaining. Poor. The servants have no pity, no one loves them."

"Blame me, blame me." Su Guifei laughed out: "Come on, two of you, beat Aunt Xiangjiang's leg to let her calm down."

Seeing this, the other little palace ladies chattered up and laughed, and the atmosphere became lively.

The laughter reached outside the hall, and the concubines who were waiting outside didn't even have the courage to look up.

They are afraid, afraid to follow in the footsteps of the Zheng family.

In the past, the imperial concubines dominated the harem, and never looked at them more. She is not interested in what they do or say, and she doesn't even ask them to go.

Gradually, they didn't come to Mingyue Palace often anymore, at most they would go there on the fifteenth day of the new year, because everyone knew that the imperial concubine didn't care about these vain gifts.

Until two days ago, the imperial concubine asked Zheng to kneel in the Mingyue Palace to apologize. Early the next morning, the Zheng family lost their concubine and was beaten into the legendary "cold palace", and they were awakened. They lived so easily these years, just because the concubine didn't care.

If she wants to squeeze them, just a word and a nod.

I don't know how long it took, the main hall door finally opened again, and the aunt Xiangjuan beside Concubine Su came out and saluted them: "The servants have seen all the ladies, please enter the hall."

Concubine Su Gui sat on the top, looking at the concubines who walked in neatly in two rows, nodded with a smile: "They are all old acquaintances in the hidden mansion. You don't need to pay attention to that, please sit down."

"The concubine is tolerant, and the concubine body cannot rely on the concubine's tolerance and forget her own rules." Concubine Min blessed the concubine Su in a regular manner: "Concubine and sisters, please greet the concubine and empress."

"No gift." Concubine Su raised her hand and motioned for them to sit down. She glanced at the back of Concubine Min: "Why Concubine Xu is here too, is her health better?"

"Lao Niangniang, concubine everything is okay these days." Xu Fei is less than fifty years old, and she has white hair on her sideburns, and she doesn't have much energy when she speaks.

"It's rare to be so neat today." Concubine Su's eyes swept across the crowd: "In terms of age, I should call out most of the sisters in the room."

The concubines did not even dare to say.

"All those who can sit here have children under their knees." She looked at the few women below. In the ten years since his majesty became the throne, the harem has never entered a woman: "We are all women. It is not easy to know women. Over the years, I don’t like to learn the tricks to torture women."

The concubines held their breath and dared not answer.

"But there are some things, even if my palace doesn't say anything, you may have already guessed it." Concubine Su's eyes became sharp: "This palace doesn't care about those things, whichever of you stretched out your hand first, but from today..."

She paused, looking at the women who dared not look at herself: "Live your life, don't learn from the Zheng family, you understand?"

"Follow the emperor's teaching!" The concubines did not dare to speak out.

"Retreat." Concubine Su coldly picked up the tea: "If someone doesn't have long eyes to send something that shouldn't be given to the palace next time, you will continue to copy the scriptures, cultivate your character, and accumulate virtue for yourself."

The concubines withdrew from Mingyue Palace anxiously, Zhang Zhao leaned in front of Concubine Min: "Concubine Min, what do you mean by Concubine Concubine?"

"How do I know?" Concubine Min said in an unpleasant way: "If you have time to ask this palace, it's better to go back and ask your good daughter, what's the matter with her husband's family."

If it weren't for Princess Roude's uncle's servant, who suddenly went mad to assassinate Yun Yanze, how could it cause so many things?

Thinking of this, she smiled sarcastically at Zhang Bi, this idiot, still cares about this.

Zhang Bi's complexion instantly turned pale, and his heart was anxious and angry, but he did not dare to have an attack in front of Concubine Min. Which lunatic was it that caused these things?

It's alright now, no one has benefited, and instead provokes Su Meidai.

"Don't say a few words." Xu Fei coughed slightly and whispered: "The imperial concubine empress is not a generation who angers others for no reason. As long as you don't do anything that violates the palace rules, how can you embarrass you?"

"Before the Royal Racecourse incident, did the empress ever feel sorry for you and me?" After Xu Fei said a few words, she started to cough non-stop, and her complexion became much paler.

"Yes." Concubine Min didn't smile. "Sister Xu deserves to be a few years older than us. She understands it better than us. In that case, why should sister join us today to greet the imperial concubine?"

"If you want to flatter the noble concubine, go to the noble concubine and tell us that it's useless." Minfei sneered: "Who will pretend to show her."

After speaking, she sat down and left without looking back.

Concubine Xu looked at her back, sighed softly, and sat on the footsteps tiredly, wrapping the thick cloak tightly, before she felt warmer.

"His Royal Highness is reading?" Jiuzhu walked gently to the inner courtyard of the Sixth Palace, looked at Wang Chen who was sitting under the tree reading, waved to the two female officials behind him, and whispered: "Two sisters, let's go to the outer courtyard first. Don't disturb Your Highness for a while."

She arched her waist and tiptoed out, until she was sure that her Highness could not see or hear, she asked the female officer: "Two sisters, has your Highness been so hard? It's so hard."

"Yes." A female officer nodded without reddening her face and her heart beat: "His Royal Highness has been diligent and motivated since she was a child. Sometimes she even forgets to eat to read a book."

Buying the best cockfighting, the most powerful cricket, and striving to be the first is also considered aspiring.

The storybook is also a book.

The people in their Mingyue Palace never lie.

Jiuzhu was about to speak, when suddenly he heard a cat cry from somewhere.

The cry was stern, like a baby crying, Jiuzhu couldn't help looking around: "Where are the cats?"

The two female officials stayed in the palace for a long time. When they heard the cat's cry, they knew something was wrong. They smiled and said to Jiuzhu: "The county lord, sit down first, and the servants will look for it."

As soon as they left, Jiuzhu saw Wang Huai walking out of the yard carrying a tabby cat with blood on his foot.
