Chapter 225 Accident
Concubine Jin stayed in the side hall and waited, while Xiao Jinyue followed the maid to visit the imperial garden.

In the imperial garden, exotic flowers and plants compete for beauty, and the pavilions are also beautiful.

Smelling the fragrance of flowers, Xiao Jinyue walked slowly along the gravel path.

The imperial garden is very large and the scenery is charming, which will make people intoxicated unconsciously.I don't know how long it took. Xiao Jinyue's legs were tired. She passed by a pavilion, and she went in to rest. Next to the pavilion was a koi pond. The colorful koi made people happy just looking at it.

She wandered around for a long time, but she didn't see anyone except the palace maids and eunuchs passing by.

As usual, many concubines would come to enjoy such a beautiful imperial garden, but since the accidents of several princes, the entire harem has become quiet.

Even those concubines stopped competing for favor, for fear that a mistake would cause dissatisfaction with the queen and noble concubine.

Xiao Jinyue rested for a while, looked up, and found that it was getting late, so she stood up and followed the maid back to the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

Originally thought that they would see the Empress Dowager when they returned to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, but the maids told them that the Empress Dowager woke up for a while and felt a little dizzy.

The Queen Mother didn't see Jin Wangfei and Xiao Jinyue, so she only asked the maid to pass on a message, saying that she wanted Jin Wangfei and Xiao Jinyue to stay in the palace for a few days, and they would have a good talk with the Queen Mother tomorrow.

Concubine Jin didn't expect that, after entering the palace and waiting for a long time, she didn't see the queen mother.Prince Jin's mansion is not far from the imperial palace. After hearing what the servant girl said, she wanted to take Xiao Jinyue back to the mansion, and then enter the palace to meet the queen mother tomorrow.

But the emperor sent eunuchs to pass the message.

Princess Jin frowned, and asked the eunuch who sent the message, "Prince Jin is still with the emperor, why didn't he come to the Palace of Compassion?"

The eunuch smiled and said, "Go back to Jin Wangfei, Jin Wang has met the emperor, and has already returned to the mansion first."

Concubine Jin felt a little strange. Before entering the palace, King Jin clearly said that after seeing the emperor, he would go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to greet the Queen Mother. Why didn't she come to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, but went back alone.

"Princess Jin, the emperor has an order to hold the birthday festival for the queen mother in advance, and the time is set in three days. The emperor said that the queen and the noble concubine are in poor health, and I am afraid they don't have the energy to organize the birthday banquet of the queen mother. I want you Tian took the concubine to stay in the palace and helped organize the banquet."

"Next month will be the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. Why does the Emperor suddenly want to hold the Shengshou Festival earlier?"

"This...Princess Jin, you also know that since the accidents of several princes, the emperor and empresses and concubines are not feeling well, and recently even the queen mother is not very energetic.

The emperor was probably thinking that there hasn't been any happy event in the palace for a long time, so it's better to hold the birthday festival for the queen mother in advance, so that everyone can enjoy the blessing of the queen mother..."

Concubine Jin also knew that it was a troubled time recently, so it was no wonder that the emperor had such thoughts.

"Prince Jin asked the slaves to tell the concubine that he will go back to the mansion first, and he will find a birthday gift for the queen mother tomorrow. Let the concubine and the concubine stay in the palace for a few days, and talk to the queen mother, and persuade her to look away. Take advantage of these few days to help organize the Queen Mother's birthday banquet."

Both the emperor and King Jin asked them to stay, but Princess Jin and Xiao Jinyue couldn't object, so they could only nod their heads.

Knowing that Jin Wangfei and Xiao Jinyue were going to stay in the palace, the steward of the Compassionate Ning Palace immediately led people to tidy up a yard and took them there to settle down.

The mother and daughter stayed in the palace for one night, and after washing and dressing up the next day, they went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager.

Unexpectedly, I still haven't seen the Empress Dowager, according to the maid who came out to deliver the message, an hour ago, the Empress Dowager woke up feeling dizzy and uncomfortable, so she invited the imperial physician to see her.

After drinking the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, the queen mother just took a rest, so it is not good to go in at this time to say hello.

The queen mother was not feeling well and did not meet them, and Princess Jin and Xiao Jinyue had nothing to do.But anyway, I still have to stay in the palace to organize the birthday banquet, and when the Queen Mother is in better health, I will always see them.

The Queen Mother didn't see them, so Princess Jin took Xiao Jinyue to Concubine Zhuang Xian's palace.

Since the second prince left, the queen has been sick all day long, as if she had lost her soul.Although the First Prince did not die, he was imprisoned in his own mansion. Now the imperial concubine has given up her thoughts of fighting for favor, and stays very low-key in her own bedroom every day.

The third prince had such a big scandal and was assigned by the emperor to Ninggu Pagoda. This was a great blow to Concubine Sun De. Now she stays in the small Buddhist hall she set up every day to eat fast and chant Buddha, just like a monk who has seen through the world of mortals, ignoring everything.

The fifth prince broke his sleeve, and the emperor sent eunuchs to the fifth prince's mansion to reprimand him severely, and then grounded him. In the future, unless there is the emperor's order, he is not allowed to step out of the fifth prince's mansion.

Concubine Yao Shu felt ashamed when her son made a mistake, and seeing that the previous princes had such serious incidents, she was worried that the fifth prince would arouse the emperor's dislike, so she asked the nuns beside her to warn him to stay in the mansion and cultivate his morals.Concubine Yao Shu herself even complained of being sick in the palace, and would not easily step out of her bedroom.

Of the five princes, the remaining four princes are safe now.The emperor was in poor health, so he issued an imperial decree, asking the fourth prince to replace him in supervising the country, so as to relieve the emperor's worries and problems.

Concubine Zhuang Xian, the mother concubine of the Fourth Prince, is a very virtuous and virtuous woman, always dignified and decent.In the past, when the princes had no accidents, almost every concubine tried every means to compete with the queen every day.

Concubine Zhuang Xian has a dignified personality, coupled with her weak body, she often needs to take medicine to take care of her body, she never competes for favor in front of the emperor like other people.

Seeing that she was sensible and decent, the emperor didn't neglect her, and would reward her with any good things, and would sit in her palace from time to time.

Now everyone in the court knows that if there is no accident, the emperor will definitely make the fourth prince the crown prince.The fourth prince is now highly valued in the court.

But Concubine Zhuang Xian didn't get carried away because of this, she still lived a low-key and inconspicuous life every day.

It's just that after the second prince left, the queen didn't have the energy to take care of the harem, the emperor had no choice but to hand over the responsibility of taking care of the harem to Concubine Zhuang Xian.

Concubine Jin took Xiao Jinyue to Concubine Zhuang Xian's palace, and heard that she was listening to the report from the nanny in charge, so she had to go to the side hall to drink tea and wait.

The mother and daughter waited for about a cup of tea in the side hall, when a dignified and decent woman walked in with the maid of honor,
"The concubine is here. I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. I just took over the palace affairs, and because I'm not familiar with it, it took a long time to manage things. Fortunately, you are here. The queen mother's birthday banquet has your helpers. I was really relieved, otherwise I was really worried that I would screw up with my clumsy hands..."

Princess Jin looked up to see the person, and was about to speak to respond, but unexpectedly heard Xiao Jinyue, who was drinking tea with her head down, suddenly coughed violently.

He had no choice but to turn his head first, and while patting her on the back, he gently reproached, "You child, how old are you, how can you still choke on tea?"

Xiao Jinyue took out the handkerchief and wiped her mouth, then raised her head in embarrassment. In fact, she was very surprised to see the person coming.Although she had a smile on her face and a trace of curiosity in her eyes just right, in fact, there was a huge wave in her heart.
