There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 196 Laughing at Her

"Stop talking nonsense!" Tang Wanning gave them a dejected look.

She lay back on the bed again, and let Biyue tuck her in, pull up the curtains, and make the bed.

"It's almost dawn." She looked at the dark blue outside the window.

"Yeah, there are still one or two hours, master, please sleep a little longer!" Bi Yue laughed, "Today is the Lantern Festival, there must be excitement in the palace!"

"I heard that Concubine Chen Guifei has already arranged a family dinner for the Lantern Festival. When the time comes, you can guess lantern riddles, eat Lantern Festival, and enjoy lanterns. Everything will be available!"

"Ok!"

Tang Wanning shook off all the chaos in her mind and closed her eyes.

Biyue Biluo turned off the lights and went out. She lay alone on the huge bed, thinking back to what Biyue Biluo said just now.

'He... was drunk and went to the study alone? '

'He... stayed by his side until he fell asleep? '

The cold wind whizzed past outside the window, crackling and flapping against the window, and the cold air penetrated all the way to her bed along the crack of the window.

She subconsciously wrapped the quilt tightly, and the warm and firm body appeared in her mind at the right time.

Damn it, she actually misses it a little bit, this is really troublesome, do you really want to...? ?

no no no!She had long planned to raise a little boy.

This man was a public servant before, he is now, and he will be in the future.

It's enough for everyone to be good teammates, why bother yourself, have you heard less about those private affairs in the deep palace in your previous life?

In a daze, she woke up from a sleep until dawn.

As soon as he got up to wash up and prepare for breakfast, Xia Houjue came. Compared with his previous vigor and vigor, he looked a little haggard today.

"Your Highness!"

Tang Wanning subconsciously lowered her head and gave a salute, her cheeks were inexplicably hot.

"Cough!" Xia Houjue coughed in a fake way, and said uncomfortably, "Well... drank too much last night, did you say anything you shouldn't have said?"

"???" Could this person not remember?If it's true, that's not bad.

"No!" Tang Wanning forced a smile.

"That's good." Xia Houjue was cheeky, sitting at the dining table like a normal person and asked, "What's delicious for breakfast today?"

"I have them all, and I have everything that His Highness liked to eat before!"

While bringing milk tea, Biyue winked at Tang Wanning, meaning: Master, you should seize the opportunity.

Bi Luo stood aside with a serious face, thinking in her heart.

The master and the prince are such an interesting couple, they obviously like each other, why are they pretending, they don't look like a Northwest daughter at all, what's wrong with the master?
……

After breakfast, the palace gradually became lively.

Although the current emperor said he was sick, there were still etiquettes in the palace, even if it was just a simple greeting and a family banquet.

Tang Wanning dressed up and went out early, and Princess Heping went to meet the elders together, even the queen was not left behind.

It is also etiquette for the wives inside and outside to meet the queen together.

The Queen has been haggard a lot lately.

Those concubines and wives who don't often enter the palace couldn't help but be shocked when they saw it, but they knew the reason, so no one dared to ask.

Just one or two: "Empress, take care of yourself!"

"Don't worry, I just feel cold occasionally, it's not suitable to go out recently, my body is still in good condition!" She subconsciously glanced at Tang Wanning when she spoke.

It was written all over his face, 'I'm fine, your hope has come to nothing, I'm mad at you! '

Tang Wanning said: I'm sorry, I'm really angry, you have nothing to do with my mother.

"You don't have to worry too much, empress!" Princess Ping took a sip of her tea and smiled.

"His Royal Highness is virtuous and filial. You have been kind to him in nurturing him. How can he not be filial to you? Even if my prince is in poor health, he always thinks about the empress in his heart!"

Her tone was calm and breezy, but everyone could hear the wind, knife, frost and sword hidden in her tone.

The queen's expression could no longer be tense, and she knocked over the teacup: "What are you talking about? What are you, you dare to jump up and down to point at Sang Huai?"

Princess Ping seemed to be used to gentleness, but she was not afraid at all, she stood up unhurriedly, and slightly bent her knees.

"The empress forgives the sin, the concubine is very kind, I don't know which sentence offended the empress, made you so angry, please learn from it, my daughter-in-law apologizes to you!"

She bites every word very clearly and firmly, and her gestures are so gentle and weak, which makes the wives beside her love her very much.

I can't help but think of the past, how virtuous and benevolent His Highness King Ping was back then, he was proficient in both civil and military skills, and was favored by all officials at a young age.

It's a pity that in an accident, he fell off his horse and lost his legs. From then on, the hero ended and became an idle prince with no power or position.

Any bloody man would probably not be reconciled.

"Empress!" Chen Guifei suddenly stood up and saluted apologetically.

"This child comes from a small family and cannot speak. Empress, please don't argue with her!"

Concubine Chen was promoted from a concubine to a noble concubine. She has been in charge of the real power in the harem for so long, and she has also grown from a transparent person who is obedient and dare not stand out to a hard-hearted noble concubine.

It's just that her family background is not high, and she still has a humble and petty air in her speech and tone.

"Empress, don't be as knowledgeable as her!" Chen Guifei said while giving her daughter-in-law a wink.

I don't know if it was intentional, but the more she behaved like this, the more angry the queen became.

She became angry and slapped Chen Guifei on the face, roaring hysterically.

"You are just a small concubine, you are not enough to carry shoes for me, and you dare to wink in front of me, Mrs. Chen, you are probably tired of your life!"

Concubine Chen Guifei fell to the ground clutching her cheeks, tears rolling down her face. This scene happened to be bumped into by King Ping who came to pick her up.

Prince Ping stood outside the main hall of Fengyang Palace, dressed in the apricot-colored prince's mansion, leaning on a crutch in one hand, staring at the queen with cold eyes, his eyes wishing that a sword would come out.

"The empress is so majestic!"

"Today is the Shangyuan Festival, and there are all wives inside and outside. It seems unreasonable for you to slap the imperial concubine in front of so many people!"

The status of the imperial concubine is second only to the empress.

My mother has served in the palace for so many years and has been impeccable, but she was slapped in public, so it can't be justified anywhere.

"I..." The queen looked at her hands, trembling and unwilling to believe it.

"No, I... Ben Gong was impulsive!"

It doesn't matter if this slap hits the imperial concubine's face, but if it destroys the virtuous name that he has worked so hard to maintain all his life, it will be a big loss.

She is a virtuous queen, she wants to be a virtuous queen!
Back then, she decided to save Xia Houjue's life just because of such a reputation. She didn't expect that in the end, this virtuous name would still not be kept?

Those wives dare not say it on the surface, but they must be laughing at her in their hearts.
