This queen is not too curly

Chapter 16 Black Pot
And the rumors in the palace had spread to the previous dynasty in just a few days.

It is rumored that the noble concubine of Bixi Palace is the only one who favors the sixth palace. Although Yan Yuan, the only daughter of the Marquis of Dingbei, is the head of the middle palace handpicked by the Holy Majesty and the Queen Mother, she was treated harshly after entering the palace. It's getting worse and worse, and it looks like it's dying.

The former dynasty of the Yan State was originally a three-legged force, namely the old relatives represented by the queen mother, the wolf faction formed by the old Dingbei Houfu, and the Qingliu watching operas headed by the prime minister. Originally, these three forces were a three-legged force, but they did not want the emperor to marry the noble concubine and kill him. A fourth force emerged: the new relatives of the imperial concubine's mother's family.

These people came from the frontier, and most of them were small officials who had made great progress. They had no relationship with the officials in the court. Relying on the emperor's favor for the noble concubine, it took only three years to become crabs in the court.Although the situation between the DPRK and China seems to be a pool of stagnant water, it has actually been undercurrents for a long time.But now, her situation in the palace is like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples.

Yan Yuan was rotten in the harem, but the rumors fermented quietly in the front court.

Gradually, even the palace people in Wangshu Palace became slightly contemptuous of Yan Yuan, the dying queen.

After all, how many splashes can a queen who has never been favored before her death turn out to be?
The contempt was at first subtle, but then became more and more obvious, until one day the tea served in the morning was colder than usual.

Xiao Yu gritted her teeth angrily: "Ma'am, let's write to Lord Hou, and let Lord Hou write a book for the Holy Spirit!"

Yan Yuan looked into the teacup, saw the sporadic tea leaves curled up pitifully in the cup, thought for a while and said, "No, just reward everyone with some money."

Xiaoyu: "Your Majesty! They are clearly unfamiliar white-eyed wolves, you still..."

Yan Yuan smiled and said, "If I don't spend some money, I'm afraid that my father will be worried."

As the money went down, the tea was indeed warmed up for a while, but it didn't last long, and the fallen leaves in the courtyard slowly accumulated again.Yan Yuan then gave some rewards to the eunuch who cleaned the courtyard, in exchange for a clean courtyard.

Then everyone knew that the sick queen was a weak and timid person who could get rich rewards with a little trickery, and was simply the number one bully in the palace.

Yan Yuan turned a blind eye to all of this.

Now that the medicine is in hand, she doesn't care about right and wrong in this palace, she just wants to take good care of her body in the palace, as long as her boss doesn't summon her, she will be a flattened salted fish in Wangshu Palace.

Of course, the appearance on the face still needs to be installed.

She will go out every day when the weather is comfortable, and stand in front of the Qianzheng Hall in the sunshine for a while, and patiently count the leaves of the sycamore tree at the door of the hall under increasingly naked eyes, which is considered as lunch post-digestive activities.

After a long time, even Xiaoyu saw some clues.

She asked Yan Yuan: "Your Majesty... have you never thought that His Majesty would summon you?"

Yan Yuan asked curiously, "How do you know?"

Xiaoyu said with a paralyzed face, "Because I saw that you secretly stuffed a handful of sugar cakes into your pocket before going out."

Yan Yuan: "..."

Yan Yuan resentfully withdrew her hand.

The effect of Tianleicao is really good, but the food portion of the women in the harem is too little, too little.She seems to be always hungry, especially after stretching her legs and feet, so she can only stuff a little dessert in her pocket.

Today's sugar cake is a little sweet, and my throat is a little itchy.

Reluctantly, the Palace of Qianzheng is already in sight.The guard at the door had already seen her. Although he didn't stare at her, the brows on his face were obviously frowned, and he was obviously waiting for her to go up to greet her.

Yan Yuan pulled her skirt forward and asked in a soft voice, "May I ask your Majesty today..."

The guard said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Holy..."

Yan Yuan nodded clearly: "Okay."

In front of the guards, she withdrew her foot stepping up the steps, turned around and said to Xiaoyu, "Go back."

After finishing speaking, he simply turned around and left without looking back.

The guards were stunned, and their surprised eyes followed Yan Yuan until her figure completely disappeared.

That's it... leave? ?

……

Yan Yuan returned to Wangshu Palace, but in the end she couldn't drink her saliva in time, Xu Wan and Chen Niang were already waiting at the door.

When they saw Yan Yuan, they looked anxious: "Your Majesty... you are back!"

Yan Yuan didn't understand, so she asked, "What's wrong?"

Yan Yuan walked into the courtyard in a daze, and was soon startled by the scene in front of her: all the court ladies and eunuchs inside and outside the palace were kneeling on the ground, and Aunt Liangyu, who was in charge of the Empress Dowager, was standing beside them In front of her, she frowned, and said with a sneer: "Bold servant girl, slap your own mouth!"

For a while, the whole room was filled with the sound of slaps one after another.

Moments later, the sound of weeping was mixed in, and it sounded indistinctly, and the ground was stained with mottled blood.

Aunt Liangyu had probably been used to such scenes for a long time, the expression on her face remained motionless, she just looked at them coldly, never calling for a stop.

Yan Yuan was dumbfounded.

She had seen many bloody punishments in the army, but she had never seen this kind of scene where she just slapped herself, but she was slapped in this situation, and she suddenly felt an indescribable goosebump rushing to her body.

Chen Niang quietly tugged at Yan Yuan's sleeve: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is still waiting..."

Yan Yuan bypassed the bloodshed and walked into the hall.

The hall was lighted with a touch of incense, and the Empress Dowager Ci De was sitting on the seat.

She smiled kindly when she saw Yan Yuan: "Yuan'er, are you feeling better?"

Yan Yuan nodded, stood up after hesitating for a moment, and also knelt in front of the Empress Dowager's knees: "The concubine is stupid and failed to fulfill the Queen Mother's instructions, so I ask the Queen Mother to punish her."

Of course, she would not naively think that the Empress Dowager Ci De came to care about her body, and her employer was obviously here to supervise the work.

"Frozen three feet, it's not a day's cold." The queen mother supported her wrist and led her to sit down beside her, "Yuan'er don't worry about it, it's because Aijia didn't think carefully."

The Empress Dowager's eyes were shining brightly, and she stretched out her hand to stroke the hair on her temples: "Yuan'er should take care of her body, why does she look so haggard?"

Yan Yuan said softly: "It doesn't matter, my son is just suffering from an old illness, it has always been like this."

She was already out of breath, and now she lowered her voice and shoulders, and she looked more and more weak and unable to live long.

As expected, the Empress Dowager Cide showed a satisfied look on her face, but her mouth still softly comforted her: "The imperial physician in the palace is skilled in medicine, as long as the body is well recuperated, it will always recover."

Yan Yuan lowered her head and said, "Yes."

The Empress Dowager Cide said: "These days when Qingliu came to Chaozhong, there were many criticisms of those who came from the north. I heard that the Grand Tutor has already submitted a letter of request to His Majesty. Although you have not seen the holy face, you have done a good job after all. "

Yan Yuan said meekly: "Yes."

Empress Dowager Cide said: "However, if you want to secure the position in the middle palace, it is not enough to rely solely on the words of the court officials. Since you have entered the palace as the empress and the mother of the country, you also need to learn the art of controlling the subordinates." It is."

Yan Yuan was startled and raised her head.

As soon as the subject changed, meaningful gazes flowed from the corners of his eyes: "The slave acted recklessly, greedy for coals for heating, and told the Ai family earlier about such things, and perhaps this illness can be avoided."

What a slave to act recklessly.

Yan Yuan lowered her head, a sneer flashed in her eyes.

In the past few days, the news that she contracted a cold and seriously ill has spread throughout the previous court. Qingliu in the previous court was angry with the concubine's relatives. After showing his favor, he also gave Dingbeihou's mansion a bit of face, and calmed down the verbal criticism of the officials.

And the root causes of this illness are nothing more than two: the wind at the gate of Qianzheng Hall, and the missing carbon in Wangshu Palace.

Today, the Empress Dowager Cide came to the door in person, and her intentions have been clearly revealed:

——She came here on a special trip to take the blame.
