　　小÷说◎网】, ♂小÷说◎NET】,
　　 Stacks of dishes made with litchi are delivered to the table like running water.
There are lychee shrimp balls, fried lychees with eggs, fresh lychee roast duck, Liying Yin red rolls, lychee pork balls, etc., the queen scoops a spoonful of white soup, a white snow lychee rolls in the soup, and a few bright red wolfberries, white The rosy red, like the one or two red plums flying in the snow, is lovely.
"Queen empress, this is the white snow red plum specially made by the royal chef." Er Qing saw her face curious, and explained to the side, "Litchi is easy to get angry, so it is soaked with warm salt water, and it is specially matched with wolfberry neutralization. "
　　 "Tea Restaurant is quite thoughtful, and this selling alone is very elegant." The empress smiled, "Emperor, you try it."
　　 Hongli looks absent-minded, and looks around without knowing who is looking for in the crowd. It wasn't until Bai Xuehong Mei arrived in front of him that he smiled slightly at the queen: "The queen is interested."
There was a trace of jealousy in Hui Guifei's eyes, and she touched her tortoiseshell fingernails and smiled: "Litchi dishes are very common. After all, dried lychees are sent every year, but the seasoning is added, it is not the taste! You will really eat lychees. People are most interested in fresh lychees. Queen Mother, don’t you want to pick lychees yourself today?
　　 The queen also felt strange. It stands to reason that the litchi tree should have moved up at this time, but somehow, there was no movement.
　　 "Speaking of who is responsible for this matter..." Hui Guifei smiled deeply, "The concubine remembered it, it was the court lady named Wei Yingluo."
　　 Hongli's hand with litchi flesh suddenly stopped.
The queen did not realize it, but frowned because of Hui Hui’s smile, and had been in contact with each other for so long. When she was an enemy for so long, the queen could be regarded as the person who knew Hui Hui best in the world. Good intentions, what does she want to do? What can she do?
　　 "It's not too early." Hongli suddenly said, "Let the maid called... Wei Yingluo send the litchi tree."
　　 The queen was surprised. Although some were uneasy, since the emperor had already opened his mouth, where there was a reason to dismiss it in public, he had to say: "Ling Luo, let her send the litchi tree."
　　The words passed on, but no one came.
　　 gradually, there was a lot of discussion.
　　 "Yo, Wei Yingluo's big shelf actually made so many ladies and the emperor wait for her to be laid off." Hui Guifei smiled deeper, "so that the queen can teach such servants in your palace, ha ha."
　　 The queen's brow furrowed. With her knowledge of Wei Yingluo, Wei Yingluo wouldn't be able to make such a mistake. It's good for her to neglect so many nobles in the palace. It must be something unexpected for her.
　　 The corner of his eyes swept to Princess Hui, and when he saw the other party waiting to watch a good show, the Queen's heart was cold: "I'm afraid it's related to her..."
　　 The queen has the intention to block this matter, but the arrow has to be sent on the string, the emperor, Hui Hui, Jia Peng... so many eyes staring at her, waiting for her to reply.
　　How should she reply...
　　 "Niang Niang!" As the queen was scorching her head, Er Qing's voice suddenly sounded in her ear, "It's Wei Yingluo! She's here!"
　　Wei Yingluo is here?
　　Everyone looked at it together, wanting to see what this daring maid looked like.
　　 At first glance, her dress was no different from other court ladies.
　　 looked at the second time, but felt that she was different from all the court ladies.
　　 This look... It's a bit too marked.
　　 exhale like a blue, clear like a lotus, and don't talk about the maiden, even the selected ladies who have been selected layer by layer, can not compare with her in appearance. The queen is also big-hearted. She puts such a beauty beside her, is she not afraid of being taken by the emperor?
　　 By contrast, the woman who was held by Wei Yingluo was overshadowed, and the haggard was the same flower that had blossomed and defeated. The only one who could compare with Wei Yingluo might be only the master's dress.
　　 "Your dear, why are you here?" said the Queen in surprise.
　　 The woman who was helped by Wei Yingluo was the happy and noble person who should have given birth in Yonghegong.
　　 She smiled at the queen: "The queen's mother and wife congratulate on the scene. The concubine is compassionate and the concubine can't be lazy."
　　 Hongli's gaze slowly moved from Wei Yingluo's face to Yu Guiren's face: "Is Yu Gui's disease better?"
　　Yuyu was very blessed to him: "Thank you for the care of the emperor, the spirit of the concubine is much better."
　　 "That's good, you should pay more attention to your body and don't let the queen worry about it." Hongli nodded, "Sit."
　　 This is where the nobleman sat in his place. When he was seated, he exchanged an empathetic look with Wei Yingluo.
Almost at the same moment, Hui Hui and Jia Peng exchanged the same look. Jia Ping said, "When will the queen queen start picking lychees? The concubine is greedy and waiting to taste the fresh lychees with all colors and fragrances." !"
　　 The queen was stunned, looking at Wei Yingluo with worried eyes.
　　 "Let the masters wait for a long time." Wei Yingluo returned to her with a reassuring smile, and then shouted, "Send it up!"
　　 As soon as the words fell, the two eunuchs lifted a wooden barrel together with a piece of red silk high above them, covering the litchi tree from head to tail.
　　 "Queen empress." Wei Yingluo delivered a tray with a pair of gold scissors, "Please pick it yourself."
The queen had already seen that this time was unusual, and she couldn’t think of an idea for a moment, but she believed Wei Yingluo and the other party had figured out a way to deal with it, so she smiled and took the gold scissors, step by step toward the barrel, and then Slowly reach out and uncover the red silk...
　　 "Wang!"
　　 The queen took a step back in shock, waiting to see clearly the situation in front of her, she could not help but dumbfounded: "This, this is..."
　　 I saw that under the red silk, the litchi branches and leaves were withered, and there were not many litchi branches left. Most of them fell into the mud in the pots. After a closer look, there were many scratches on the tree. The culprit was obviously...
　　Everyone looked towards the snowy white ball under the tree.
　　 seemed to feel everyone's unsightly gaze, the hair ball shouted again, and then quickly jumped from the basin and ran towards the direction of Hui Hui.
　　 "Ah!!" Yugui suddenly screamed, suddenly hugged Wei Yingluo's arm beside him, and kept hiding behind the other party, "Don't come, don't bite me, don't bite me!"
　　 She shouted like this, as if the dog's teeth had penetrated into her throat, crunching her flesh.
　　Hongli glanced at her: "Come here, grab the dog."
The eunuchs rushed up and caught the hair ball with all their hands and feet. The hair ball was accustomed to being pampered, and was rarely treated so violently. Immediately, he groaned a few times in grievance, and then went in a direction. Shouted.
　　 "Your hands and feet are lighter..." Hui Guifei looked ugly towards Hongli, "Emperor..."
　　Don't wait for her to plead for the Maotuan, Yu Guiren has cried aloud: "Hui Guifei, one time is not enough and the second time, do you have to be a concubine's life?"
　　 Hongli frowned: "What's going on?"
"Return to the Emperor." Wei Yingluo patted Yu Guiren's back while resigning obediently, "A month ago, at Yu Garden, this dog named Snowball suddenly broke out and frightened Yu Guiren. Someone was injured and the queen’s lady was generous, so she didn’t pursue it. She only suffered the nobleman. She had to drink a stunned soup every day to fall asleep. She didn’t want her spirit to be just right today and she ran into again!

　　 "Bold Minions!" Hui Guihui snapped, "What do you mean by that, don't you suspect that the beast was intimidated by this palace!"
　　 In order to protect herself, she no longer called the snowball little obedient, but instead called it a small animal.
　　 "The slave-servant does not dare." Wei Yingluo lowered his head, "The slave-servant just told the truth."
　　Yuyu suddenly broke free from her arms and choked at the feet of Hongli: "The Emperor saves his life, the Emperor saves his concubine! If you go on like this, the concubine can't hold on, and you have to die with two lives!"
　　 Hongli looked down at her, like a Buddha in a temple overlooking a mortal who was kneeling to the ground.
　　 "Come here, help the noble." He said slowly, "Relax, I will rule this for you."
　　 "Emperor!" Princess Hui Hui hurriedly said, "Could you really believe her gibberish? You look at the litchi tree carefully, it was obviously scalded to death by boiling water, but insisted that it was caught by a dog..."
　　 burned to death by boiling water?
　　The Queen's heart said, okay, you haven't looked at the litchi tree carefully. How do you know that you were burnt to death by boiling water? I'm afraid it's you who shouted someone's hands in secret?
"Queen Hui!" The queen didn't give her a chance to excuse her, and immediately said harshly, "You are not enough to disturb the pleasant lady three or two times. You also have to deliberately mess up the litchi feast in this palace today, and almost scare the pleasant lady, What is the intention?"
　　 "Snowball is very clever on weekdays, and has never been in trouble!" Hui Guifei gritted her teeth, "This time, I am afraid that someone intentionally planted and used it to frame the concubine!"
　　 "Planted by stolen goods?" The queen shook her head. "This evil dog attacked the noble person in the imperial garden last time. Today it does not bite, but it focuses on Fujian's tribute. The emperor specially gave this palace a gift!"
　　Hui Hui was speechless.
　　If there was no previous attack in the imperial garden, everyone could still believe her.
　　 But since there was already an attack, how could such a vicious dog, as she said, be so clever as not to cause trouble on weekdays?
　　 "Concubine." Hongli's indifferent gaze swept, "Do you have anything else to explain?"
　　In the palace, if you want to live and live well, you must learn to look at people's faces, especially the emperor's face.
　　 Princess Hui Hui knelt at the feet of Hongli and cried, "I blame the beast of Snowball, and the concubine must have peeled it off when he turned back..."
　　 "Tigers are out of luck, and the tortoise is destroyed in 椟, who is at fault?" Hongli suddenly interrupted her.
"The tiger rhinoceros ran out of the cage, and the tortoiseshell jade was destroyed in the box, which was naturally the fault of the caretaker." Wei Yingluo suddenly knelt down beside him. "When the litchi tree was transported today, the snowball was running under his feet. The princesses’ dogs, the minions did not dare to rush, and the result was that the minions were not well-controlled and willing to be punished! Just..."
　　 The corners of her eyes swept across the noble crying tears, and whispered: "The minions are brave, ask the noble one more time, the custodian of the lychee has been punished, what about the lychee destroyer?"
　　 "Bold!" Jia Pian took the case, "There is no place for you, a minion, to speak!"
"...She asked for her concubine." Yugui sighed quietly, lifted her face wet with tears, and the others were pregnant all fatly, but not only did she not have long meat, but the cheeks on both sides were sunken inward, like A skeleton, "Concubine also wants to know, is there a concubine's place in this palace?"
　　Jiabin was dumb for a while.
"The queen's mother is kind, the emperor is kind, please forgive the slaves!" Wei Yingluo said boldly, "Yugui is pregnant with a long heir and has a valuable identity; Litchi is a Fujian tribute, the emperor's blessing; the queen is generous and generous, but the status is respected, Can not tolerate provocation again! Piles and pieces are all related to snowballs, but evil dogs are livestock after all, they do not understand etiquette, do not understand the rules, blame, blame its owner, regardless of teaching, without restraint, and even Repeated troubles! The minions are courageous, please ask the emperor to rule!"
　　Hongli looked down on the woman who was kneeling in front of her eyes for a long time, and then slowly turned her head, her voice faint, but with a kind of domineering and majestic majesty: "Hui Guifei."
　　 There was no joy, no anger, no blame in the voice, but Hui Hui's body shivered gently.
　　 "...Yes, Snowball made a mistake in discipline." Hui Guifei grabbed her hands into fists, and suddenly said, "Jia Ping! Don't come over and ask the emperor to sin!"
　　 Abandoned car and handsome!
　　 Everyone's mind flashed such a word.
　　Including Jia Peng too.
　　 secretly groaned in his heart, but knew that he could not escape this one. After all, it was his idea to Hui Hui, and he did it himself.
"The emperor, it is the concubine's fault." Jiapin stood up and knelt down towards Hongli. "The concubine was afraid that the snowball would be too stubborn and ruined the queen's banquet. She specifically told the concubine to be optimistic about the snowball, but the concubine was not careful. It will cause such a thing, and it has nothing to do with the concubine! The emperor wants to punish, condemn the concubine!"
Hongli's fingers knocked on the table, he didn't believe Jia Jia's words, but Hui Guifei was powerful behind her, and it was impossible to really punish her because of a few trees. The board fell on Jia Hua and fell They all rejoiced, so they said lightly: "The litchi tree is a tribute to Fujian, and it has been transported to Beijing for thousands of miles. I personally sent it to the queen.
　　 To make her happy, but your negligence, let my efforts hit the water. Now you should not ask for forgiveness from me, but to apologize to the queen! "
　　 "Yes!" Jiamao clenched her teeth and walked two steps in her knees, tapping her head to the queen: "The concubine is incompetent, the restraint is weak, please ask the queen's mother to forgive sins!"
　　 Provoked such a big disaster, how can you forgive her for a few words?
　　 Seeing that the queen didn't say a word, Jia Ping couldn't, and she had to continue to tap her. There was no other voice at the banquet for a time, except for her thumping head.
"...Okay." Dozens of heads went down, and the queen finally opened her mouth. "This palace just ruined a banquet, but the honourable person was greatly frightened! A bad one, hurt Long Si, you want How to compensate!"
　　 This is to make her not only kowtow to herself, but also to confess to the noble lady.
　　 Jiapang felt a humiliation in her heart, and it was nothing to prostrate the queen. After all, it was the lord of the harem. Who would be short by three points in front of her, but what was that pleasure? Also deserve to let her kneel?
　　 "How?" The Queen said coldly, "But you have grievances in your heart and refuse to admit your mistake?"
"...Concubine doesn't dare." The situation is stronger than people, and the matter is here, Jia Pian has to gritt her teeth and sway her head in the direction of the pleasure of the noble. , Forgive my sister this time!"
　　 This head knocked down like a splash of water, it was difficult to withdraw.
　　 From now on, all well-informed people in the palace will know that she Jia kneeled to Yugui and gave her head.
　　Yugui looked at the woman who was kneeling in front of her eyes, and seemed to her, and to Hui Gui who stood behind her: "I hope you really regret it and don’t condone evil animals and hurt people!"
　　 "Wang Wang, Wang Wang!" Snowball seemed to think that someone mentioned it, so Wang Wang called.
"Okay, I don't want to see this dog again!" Hongli glanced at it in disgust, and made the final remarks, "Jia Peng was negligent for a while, broke into a big disaster, and was reduced to a nobleman, for three months! Chu Xiugong’s throne is not good for people and dogs. It is extremely incompetent. He is fined for one year and think about it behind closed doors!"
　　Finally, he didn't want to watch this group of women swindle and went straight away.
　　I don't know if it is Wei Yingluo's illusion. Before leaving, Hongli seemed to look back at her, which was quite complicated, and Wei Yingluo could not understand the meaning.
　　 And the journey of Hongli, the rest of them are absent, and they are eager to think. The queen looked at them, and did not force them. After persuading a few glasses of wine, she ended the off-topic litchi feast.
　　The song ended, but the noble person stayed.
　　 knew that she had something to say to herself. The queen opened another seat, and a few plates of fruit tea were placed on the table. She smiled and said to him, "How come you are here today, isn't it in Yonghegong?"
　　Nursing is just an excuse. The two knew that they were happy, and they were afraid that they would not come, and they were afraid to face Hui Hui.
"Ying Luo asked me to come. She convinced me. The more I feared Hui Hui, the more Hui Hui wanted to torture me, even if it was not for me, I had to give Yi Yi a breath..." His slightly bloated stomach, said with a smile, "Even if I don't speak enough, but with this child, it is barely enough..."
The two chatted a little more about their family routines. Xu's face showed a trace of fatigue because of pregnancy. When the queen saw her, she asked Er Qing to take her back to the palace to rest and treat her. Ying Luo fell to her knees. Beside: "The minions are good at making claims, please ask the queen to forgive her sins."
The queen did not blame her, but pointed out her intimately, and pointed it on her forehead: "You, you, can even come up with such an idea. Hui Hui used snowballs to frighten the nobles. The unfinished account is just right. Moving to today is not an injustice."
Wei Yingluo returned to her very sincerely: "The minions pleaded guilty to punishment is a trivial matter. The actions of Hui Hui and Jia Peng were to make all the girls lose their faces. How could they be successful? But it’s much lighter than Hui Hui’s instigation of evil dogs to harm the nobles, destroy the Fujian tribute, and destroy the queen’s banquet.

　　The empress suddenly smiled and said, "You know, the emperor has already seen that you are using him."
　　Wei Yingluo was taken aback, almost immediately looked up at the queen.
The silly look on her face seemed to please the queen, and the queen smiled cheerfully: "But you don't have to worry too much. Since the emperor sees it and willing to let you use it, it means that he also thinks that Hui Hui has done too much. Take the opportunity to beat her."
　　 Wei Yingluo was relieved and felt a little cold on his back.
　　 "Ying Luo." The queen suddenly asked her, "What kind of person do you think our long live grandpa is on weekdays?"
　　Wei Yingluo didn't know why she asked herself this question. After thinking for a while, she gave a satisfactory answer: "Qinzheng loves the people."
　　The queen shook her head: "This palace is not saying this, this palace is asking you about his temperament."
　　Wei Yingluo said several words in a row, and the queen shook her head until she whispered one: "Kill the decisive decisive?"
"Yes!" The queen slaps like a child. "What kind of person is the emperor, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the Lord of the world, as long as he doesn't look at people who are pleasing to the eye, he clicks and his head falls to the ground, this is all over! What more? Leaving people, don’t you find yourself angry?"
　　 Wei Yingluo felt that his back was a little cold, and the sweat was washing her back like a waterfall. She barely smiled and said, "This... maybe the emperor has any concerns?"
　　 "Can't!" The queen cut the railroad, "What kind of concern can the emperor have, what kind of grace is that E Shan, how many officials plead, say that killing will kill, not blinking!"
　　 "Then...then..." Wei Yingluo mourned with tears, "Ma'am, the emperor really will pay after the autumn, do you want a minion's head?"
　　 Her pitiful appearance, like a cat in trouble, always ready to jump on the knee of the hostess, spoiling and rolling meow, asking for the protection of the hostess.
　　 "Relax, you won't be okay." But when she saw the Queen smiled deeply, "You are a girl, a girl with a beautiful appearance."
　　Although she said that it would be fine, after listening to the latter sentence, Wei Yingluo only felt that she was not only a back, but the whole person was cold, as if falling into a tan well.
