Chapter 111 The Secret
Liao Mu'er and Chun Xiao originally thought that today's reconciliation between the emperor and the empress would be a great event, but the emperor in front of him looked worried and ordered them to go out!The two glanced uneasily at Queen Si before retreating.

"Queen, there are a few things... I want to tell you." Dugu Ye pursed his lips and hesitated for a while before saying.

Si Luoyun could already feel the tension in the atmosphere, and couldn't help but sit tight and stare at the emperor.She felt that today's emperor spoke to her very solemnly!In the past, he mostly showed a gentle and considerate side in front of her, and when he got angry, he just walked away...

"Please speak, Your Majesty, and my concubine will listen attentively."

After Chunxiao came out of Si Luoyun's house, she first went to see the house where the three young masters lived. Although Fu Bao was lively and active, he had already understood the "rules" under the guidance of his mother.Hu'er is Fu Bao's little follower, and he learns what his sister does, so it's easier for a wet nurse to serve the little master's meals than to keep them from running around when they are playing.

The second prince has not yet been given an official name, but he is like a baby named Zhuang Er. He goes to sleep when he is full of milk, and plays by himself when he wakes up.Compared with the "earth-shattering" at birth, Zhuang'er is as obedient as Hu'er when he was a baby, which makes people feel distressed.

"Aunt Chunxiao!" Fu Bao greeted Chunxiao with his oily little hands.

There was indeed a plate of torn and boneless pig's trotters on the children's dinner table. This was a delicacy that their siblings had been craving for a long time!
"Eldest princess, eldest prince." Chun Xiao blessed her body and walked forward with a smile.

The nurses got up and said hello to Chun Xiao, and then said with a smile, "Why isn't my aunt serving by the empress's side?"

"The emperor and the empress wanted to talk, so I came out with Lady Liao." Chun Xiao laughed.

Now the twins are being taken care of by one person and one nurse, and they are still Li and Wang before.The wet nurse who entered the palace to breastfeed later sent the child away after weaning.The wet nurse Li is in charge of taking care of the eldest princess Dugu Ruyi, Wang is taking care of the eldest prince Dugu, and the twins are surrounded by two court ladies and two servants, so everything is complete.Anyway, the twins almost come in and out at the same time, so it is really unnecessary to arrange too many people.

"I'm done eating! I want to see Father!" Fu Bao jumped up and shouted, and the nurse beside her hurriedly wiped the oil on her hands with a handkerchief.

"I... I've finished eating too..." Hu'er threw a small piece of meat into his mouth, then reluctantly looked at the remaining pieces of pig's trotters on the plate, and echoed his sister with a whimper.

Chunxiao walked to the couch, helped the eldest princess straighten her clothes and said softly, "Princess, the emperor and the empress have business to talk about, so you can't go over there and disturb me."

Fu Bao blinked his lovely big eyes and tilted his head and asked, "Are you going to have a younger brother... a younger sister?"

Everyone in the room laughed, and the nurses were all from the past, and they exchanged eyebrows.

Chunxiao was still a big girl, her pretty face flushed when she heard this.

"This... This servant doesn't know, probably won't."

Because Imperial Physician Gong said that the empress must take good care of her body before she can conceive again. The emperor loves the empress so much, so he probably wouldn't allow the empress to conceive again so soon.

The palace people in the Zihui Garden were all elated because of the emperor's arrival, and they prayed in their hearts that the empress would never make the emperor unhappy again.These days, everyone is worried that other concubines will take the opportunity to win favor!

The wishes of everyone in Zihui Garden are good, but the reality is not quite right!

That night, the emperor naturally stayed in the Zihui Garden. After changing clothes and going to bed, he didn't call for water, and the palace servants outside the room didn't hear any ambiguous voices... The emperor and the empress chatted with pure quilts, and then went to bed up!
The next day, when the maids served the emperor and the empress, they found that the empress's eyes were red and swollen, as if she had cried!Moreover, the atmosphere between the emperor and empress seems to be weird!This time it was the empress who ignored the emperor, and the emperor looked at the empress from time to time and hesitated to speak!

How is this going?Could it be that the empress is angry with the emperor this time?As a concubine, even the queen can't be so obvious!

The emperor has gone, but he hasn't come to Zihui Garden for two or three days!

This time, even Chunxiao and Liao Muer didn't know what happened!They also questioned Empress Si on the sidelines, but they were all reprimanded or stared back by Empress Si!
"The emperor and the queen quarreled again?" Princess Chen put down the scroll in her hand and pursed her lips with a smile, "You know that my sister is not really a heartless person, how could she not care about matters between men and women."

The palace maid Dongyue stood aside and asked puzzledly: "Taufei, this servant thinks that the emperor treats the empress very well! After arriving in Tianhe Garden, this servant has not seen the emperor befriend other noble masters yet! Empress What is the empress thinking about?"

Concubine Chen Wang snorted mockingly, and did not answer Dongyue's question, but she thought in her heart that she had been in Empress Si's ear a while ago, and she had done a lot to drive a wedge between the empress and empress!It also taught Si Luoyun how to learn to be selfish and think about herself, the princesses, and the princes!As long as Empress Si has selfishness, it will be impossible to rely on and trust the emperor like in the past!Once the rivalry begins, sooner or later the emperor and the empress will be divorced!
The queen who has lost the support and protection of the emperor has no right to manage the harem, but there are various crises around her!

Throwing the book in her hand on the table, Concubine Chen Wang Dowager stood up with the help of the maid, and said cheerfully: "At this time, I have to visit the empress."

After tidying up, Princess Chen ordered Li Yunying and Dongyue to accompany her to Zihui Garden to visit the queen.

Unexpectedly, on the way to Zihui Garden, Princess Chen and Concubine Si Shu met by chance!

In terms of status, the two should be on par!But even so, it would be a disgrace to Princess Chen!She used to be the eldest daughter of the prime minister's mansion, so she usually didn't even look at this concubine who pretended to be sick!Now when they meet, according to the rules of etiquette, they must treat each other equally, how can it not make her feel unfair!
"Look at the hurried steps of the concubine, where are you going?" Concubine Si Shu was wearing a gorgeous palace dress, and the five-tailed phoenix hairpin on her head was dazzling!The makeup on the face is so delicate that people can't take their eyes off it!

Comparing the two, although the imperial concubine Chen Wangtai is still imposing, her dress looks "poor"!
Concubine Chen Wang raised her chin slightly, not giving Concubine Si Shu a good look!I don't even bother to answer her questions!

Concubine Si Shu couldn't help being a little angry when she saw that her eldest sister, who had ignored her when she was in the prime minister's mansion, was still in this posture!

"Oh... Presumably the concubine wants to curry favor with the empress again?" Concubine Si Shu said sarcastically, "Feng Shui turns around, who would have thought that the elder sister who was married into the royal family and became the princess not only failed to become a big swallow?" The empress, on the contrary, wants to perform the ceremony of a monarch and minister to the younger sister who sits in that position! My sister must be feeling uncomfortable, right?"

Concubine Si Shu's words deeply hurt Princess Chen's heart!It was as if a shiny slap had been slapped on her face!

As the eldest daughter of the Sifu, Si Luohe has been loved and valued by her parents since she was a child!From an ordinary official daughter to the eldest daughter of the prime minister's mansion, her life is getting better and better, and her spirit is getting higher and higher!

Today, being ridiculed by a concubine who was never seen by him and was born under a concubine, Si Luohe's heart was on fire!

But even though she was full of anger in her heart, Princess Chen still had a cold and arrogant look on her face.

"Fifty steps laugh at a hundred steps, why bother!" Princess Chen said with a sneer, "I heard that when Concubine Shu and Empress entered the Kingdom of Chen together, Empress Empress was not only conferred as a little beauty, she was not summoned by the emperor for a long time. Concubine Shu, on the other hand, was proud of her grace for a few days, and she was named a lady under one person and above all concubines. But Concubine Shu did not expect that the empress would be the empress of King Chen, right? Kneel down When paying respects to my sister-in-law who has always been underestimated by me, Concubine Shu must also feel uncomfortable, right?"

"You!" Not only did Concubine Si Shu not get any favors, but she also let Concubine Chen Wang and Dowager reveal her old background and scars!She was so angry that she raised her eyebrows and stared with a sharp expression! "I'm the concubine daughter of the Si family, so it's nothing to live under the empress who is the concubine daughter of the Si family! How can it be more painful than my sister climbing up the clouds but falling down again!"

Consort Chen gritted her teeth, knowing that it was pointless to have such a sharp tongue with Concubine Si Shu!But I still can't help but sneer!
"When I was a girl in the Sifu, I only thought of Concubine Shu as a weak and sick little girl who needed constant care from my father! Now, it seems that I really answered the saying that the dragon begets the dragon, the phoenix begets the phoenix, and the mouse begets it." The proverb that your child can punch a hole."

"What does the concubine mean!?" Concubine Si Shu heard the meaning behind the concubine's words, she raised her eyebrows and asked a step closer, "She is also the daughter of the Si family, doesn't the concubine know that saying this is also a way of comparing herself with the empress? Did you take it all with you?"

Princess Chen pressed her nose with a handkerchief, as if she hated the approach of Concubine Si Shu who smelled like powder!
"Concubine Shu, be careful. Although they are both daughters of the Si family, there is a difference between concubine and concubine. Besides, Concubine Shu grew up beside her biological mother and was not taught by her aunt. How could she be the same as empress and me? "Concubine Chen Wang raised her eyebrows slightly, and continued to mock Concubine Si Shu!
Concubine Si Shu was so angry that she almost lost her mind!Thanks to Si Qi who is beside him is quite smart, knowing that the Princess Chen is also someone who cannot be easily provoked, so he reminded the master in a low voice: "Madam, don't you want to go to Tengxuan Pavilion to deliver snacks to the emperor? If you delay for a long time , I’m afraid the dim sum won’t taste good.”

When Princess Chen heard Si Qi's words, she glanced at this beautiful court lady.She had heard from her mother, Mrs. Zhao, that Concubine Shu had asked for someone from the prime minister's mansion. I'm afraid this clever maid is that Si Qi!
Concubine Si Shu is also clear about her words, ten of herself can't match her eldest sister Si Luohe who was once called a talented woman!So taking advantage of Si Qi's words, he hummed as he went down the steps, turned around and continued towards Tengxuan Pavilion!

It turned out to be flattering to the emperor!No wonder they are so grandly and beautifully dressed!

Princess Chen watched Concubine Si Shu's guard of honor go away with a sneer. The good mood she had felt when she heard Empress Si and the emperor had another quarrel had disappeared!

A fallen phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken!Although Si Shufei's words were harsh, they were all true!
If she is still willing to be a concubine of Chen Wang and worry all day that the emperor will kill her son in order to stabilize the throne, then she really deserves to be laughed at by Concubine Si Shu!
Slowing down, Princess Chen walked to a pavilion and sat down to calm down.

Neither Li Yunying nor Dongyue dared to make a sound, they stood quietly outside the pavilion.

The weather in February was still very cold, and Li Yunying and Dongyue only stood there for about a quarter of an hour before their noses and cheeks turned red and their feet became numb!
"Toffee?" Dongyue finally couldn't help but said, "It's cold outside, you have to pay attention to your body."

Princess Chen sat in the cold for a while, her mind became more and more calm!

Why should I be angry with Concubine Si Shu for a while!There will be a time when that bitch will cry in the future!
"Yunying? You come in." Princess Chen raised her eyes to call Li Yunying into the pavilion, and then glanced at Dongyue.

Dongyue understood and walked a little further away from the pavilion.In this way, you can keep an eye on the wind and avoid the private conversation between the concubine and Li Yunying.

Li Yunying walked into the pavilion uneasy, blessed her body, "Toffee."
