The atrium just shines on pear blossoms and snow

The next day it was announced that the prime minister's wife would enter the palace, and the mother and daughter closed the door and talked for two hours before Madam Bai left.

For several days in a row, Mu Qingchen and Liu Linger played harmoniously with each other, and Bai Ruolan didn't show any signs of affection.

The palace gates were closed all day, and another day later, Bai Ruolan's palace servants went to the imperial study to get Bai Ruolan's supplements. They ran into the palace servants of the noble concubine Liu Linger, and the two argued about the order. slap.

Less than an hour after the incident happened, Liu Ling'er complained to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager went to Bai Ruolan Palace to inquire about the crime.

Bai Ruolan lowered her head and lowered her eyes the whole time without making any distinctions. The queen mother still could not calm down, and mentioned Bai Xiang and Bai Muchu brothers again, "Your Bai family is kind to the emperor, so you can run rampant? This world belongs to the emperor, not the world of the Bai family." .”

Just as he was being reprimanded, Mu Qingchen entered with his hands behind his back, the queen mother immediately told the emperor about the dispute, and deliberately added fuel to point out that Ruolan palace people were bullying others.

Mu Qingchen's face darkened, and after the queen mother finished speaking, she continued indifferently: "Such an unruly servant, why stay in the palace, you can't teach the master badly, and punish her to do odd jobs in the servant's room!"

Only then did Bai Ruolan raise her head and glance at Mu Qingchen, her voice was cold and clear: "I beg the emperor to spare her, it's because the concubine is not strict in discipline, if Long Live punishes the concubine, then punish the concubine!"

Before Mu Qingchen could speak, the Empress Dowager rushed forward and said, "What are you talking about? Threatening the Emperor by being pregnant?"

"The concubine dare not, it's just that this maid is used by the concubine, and it's all the concubine's fault. The concubine will definitely discipline her well, so that such a thing will not happen!"

"Don't you dare? I think you did it on purpose. You don't rule strictly and even protect your servants. How can such a queen be an example to others in the harem?"

Bai Ruolan didn't make any further distinctions, but knelt down slowly, "Long live, it's all my concubine's fault, please forgive me!"

She knelt on the ground with a big belly, and Wang Shanxi behind Mu Qingchen hurried forward to help her. Mu Qingchen's eyes darkened: "For the sake of the queen, I will spare her this time, but the palace rules I can't be dismissed, the two palace servants who are fighting will be dragged down, and each will hit thirty sticks to make an example!"

After saying that, the two eunuchs came up and dragged Bai Ruolan's palace servants away, Liu Linger was secretly happy at first, but she didn't realize something was wrong until the eunuchs came to drag her palace servants away again.

Before he wanted to say something, Mu Qingchen got up and left with his sleeves swung.

The two palace servants were dragged to the place of execution, and after being beaten with thirty sticks, Liu Linger's palace servant was killed on the spot, while Bai Ruolan's palace servant was helped back.

Liu Ling'er hated her confidant maid for being beaten to death. She thought it must be Bai Ruolan's fault, so she went to complain to the Empress Dowager, and specifically told about Bai Ruolan's relationship with the deposed prince Mu Qingye before, "I heard that the queen married the emperor before she married her." Zeng and the deposed prince stayed alone for five days and five nights, returning to the palace is already unclean."

He also said that the Bai family held the military power, and that Bai Xiang’s words in the court hall echoed everywhere, and it was another Su Xiang. Liu Linger’s embellished words made the queen mother very unhappy. Thinking that the Bai family holds a large army and controls the government, don’t do anything like the following The act of committing a crime comes.

The more the Queen Mother thought about it, the more flustered she became. No way, the Bai family had grown into a climate, and she couldn't let it go, so she told Mu Qingchen about it.

Mu Qingchen frowned: "I have my own ideas about these matters, and the Queen Mother doesn't have to worry about them."

"How can I not worry about it? Prime Minister Su's lesson from the past is here. That Mrs. Bai is not chaste, and she is pregnant again..."

"Queen Mother, the queen's child is mine."

Seeing Mu Qingchen's affirmation, the queen mother was a little unhappy, "But I heard that on the day of Mu Qingye's death, the queen once burned paper money in the palace to remember Mu Qingye."

"What? Seriously?" Mu Qingchen was suddenly upset.

"If you don't believe me, you can go to the plum blossom tree and look at the paper money that Bai Ruolan took with her close servants to burn. It is said that she cried for a long time."

Mu Qingchen thought for a while, and it was true that the anniversary of Mu Qingye's death was just a few days ago, he frowned, "I know about this, the queen is pregnant, let's talk about it later."

Seeing that Mu Qingchen was reluctant to punish Bai Ruolan, the queen mother became more and more unhappy. When she returned to the palace, she met Bai Ruolan. Looking at Bai Ruolan's appearance, thinking about her unclean body, and domineering and domineering the emperor, the queen mother ordered her to stop and look for Bai Ruolan again. stubble.

Bai Ruolan didn't expect that she would bear it no matter how hard she endured. Everyone bullied her. She is really useless as a queen. Hearing that the Queen Mother accused her of being unclean, Bai Ruolan couldn't bear it anymore, "Since the empress thinks that the concubine If you are not worthy to be the empress, please ask the emperor to take the position of concubine and concubine as empress, and put the concubine into limbo!"

The queen mother was beaten to death by her words, Bai Ruolan ignored her and went back to the bedroom.

In the afternoon, the palace servants hurried in to report: "Your Majesty, there are rumors everywhere in the palace, all saying that your Majesty is not chaste and unclean, and the identity of the prince in her belly is unknown. This servant is really angry and came back to report to your Majesty."

"I see!" Bai Ruolan's face turned pale, who else in the harem could spread rumors like this except the Queen Mother?

Mu Qingchen can't be relied on, the queen mother is so aggressive, and she has a stain, I'm afraid that the days to come will become more and more difficult.
