"You guys should step back first." In order to make it easier for her to speak, Concubine Jing ordered all the maids in the palace to step back.
"Yes." After listening to Concubine Jing's words, the palace maid left the hall.
After the palace maid left, Yuan'er said to Yuan Mi'er: "Concubine Jing, our master asked the slave to bring you a message. She said, weren't you planning to take revenge? Then take advantage of Murong Xi's absence in the palace.
Let's implement it as soon as possible." Although Yuan'er called Yuan Mi'er as Concubine Jing, there was no respect in her tone. However, Yuan Mi'er didn't care, as Yuan'er was just trying to make her look bad, but now it's nothing
It's a chess piece of Concubine Shu. What should she care about?
So, she said with a smile on her face: "Sister Yuan'er, don't be polite. Master's kindness to Qin'er will be unforgettable forever. Qin'er thanked the master for the reminder here. Qin'er has never forgotten the Lan family's affairs."
"Well, it's good that Concubine Jing knows what she knows. By the way, if Concubine Jing needs manpower, Concubine Jing can arrange it for you. There are many eyes and ears in the palace, so I can't stay for a long time. Please leave first." After Yuan'er finished speaking, she left in a hurry.
Entering the Phoenix Dance Hall.
But Yuan Mi'er was the only one left in the main hall, standing there thoughtfully.
Yes, it’s time to settle the accounts of the Lan family. Before she became Concubine Jing, Concubine Shu also helped her send people to find out about the Lan family. Mrs. Lan’s wife has been bedridden since she fell off the cliff.
, seems to be seriously ill. And the proudest one is Aunt Zhi, because she has been promoted as an equal wife by Mr. Lan, and Lan Zixian has also got a good marriage. And the mistress of the Lan family is seriously ill, giving her a good opportunity.
It was she, an ordinary wife, who was in charge of the middle office.
She misses her mother so much, and she doesn't know what Cui'er told her mother back then. It would be okay if her mother pretended to be sick, but what should she do if she was really sick? So, she needs to find a way to see her mother.
Through my mother, I can better understand the current situation of Lan Mansion.
Now that something happened to Murong Xi, it was naturally impossible for the palace to let her hold a banquet at this time. It was even more inappropriate to summon her mother alone. After all, on the surface, Mrs. Lan and she were incompatible. Her current family tree
Mother is the Prime Minister’s wife.
Therefore, she must come up with a perfect plan in the near future, so that she can see her mother without being too abrupt.
She, Lan Ziyu, must let her father know how stupid it was for him to give up on her.
She also wants to make him regret his decision and promise her to Xu Zian. Haha, she will repay Lan Zixian for all this.
Xiangfu Palace
"Your Majesty, it's been several days and I still haven't found the whereabouts of Princess Jingruo." The grandmother who was following the Queen Mother said worriedly.
"Oh, this child is really in trouble. I finally found him, but something like this happened again." The Queen Mother said with a worried look.
"Your Majesty, the news is that Her Royal Highness accidentally fell into the water because she was playing on the boat and playing with her maid. I don't believe a word of it. If I hadn't seen Princess Jingruo, I might still have been there.
I will believe the rumors. However, I have seen Her Highness the Princess with my own eyes. Her Highness the Princess is well-behaved and sensible, and is not an ignorant person at all. Therefore, someone must have said that deliberately." Mammy said in a low voice.
"Well, Xi'er is not an ignorant child. It's not like she fell into the water by chance this time. I believe the emperor will investigate and get to the bottom of this matter. But, does Concubine Jing always go to the Yangxin Palace?" The Queen Mother slowly said
said.
"Yes, I heard that it was summoned by Your Majesty. But Queen Mother, a few days ago, Princess Yan went to Yangxin Palace to inquire about Princess Jingruo's accident.
After Princess Yan said a few words, she had a conflict with Concubine Jing for some reason. Your Majesty, Your Majesty reprimanded Princess Yan for Concubine Jing. She also asked Princess Yan to apologize. Princess Yan’s eyes were red and she seemed to be crying as she came out of the Yangxin Palace.
Yes." Mammy simply told the Empress Dowager what she had learned. Of course, she did not need to deliberately add fuel to the fire. I believe the Empress Dowager would know Concubine Jing's attention as soon as she heard it.
The Queen Mother slowly rose from a concubine to the position of Queen Mother. How could she not see through Concubine Jing's intentions? Although she has not cared about the harem for many years, she also knows what Concubine Jing means.
"Huh, Concubine Jing, it's abominable that she uses the tricks of fighting for favor in the harem to deal with Yan'er. But the emperor can't see it and actually protects her, isn't it going to hurt Yan'er's heart? You know
Yan'er has lost her mother. Although I don't like Yuan Xiner either, Yan'er is a sensible child. Concubine Jing must have said something she shouldn't have said in the Yangxin Palace, which made Yan'er act like this.
It's really good. First he instigated the relationship between Yan'er and Xi'er. Then he made the emperor hate Yan'er and kept doing the same thing." The Queen Mother said angrily.
"Queen Mother, what do you mean..." asked the nanny.
"Those delicious pastries, please send them to Yan'er. Tell her that the Yi family misses her and ask her to come to Xiangfu Palace tomorrow morning." The Queen Mother wanted to comfort Murong Yan, so she asked someone to make something she liked.
Send pastries.
"yes."
"By the way, let's go. I haven't left the Xiangfu Palace for a long time. Today I will accompany the old Ai family to the Yangxin Palace." The Queen Mother was worried about Murong Xi's comfort, and thought that Murong Yan had been wronged, so she wanted to go
Yangxindian asked His Majesty what he thought.
"Okay, I will go and order people to deliver the cakes first, and then I will accompany you to the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart." Nanny went down first to give instructions, and then followed the Queen Mother to the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart.
The Queen Mother's appearance at the door of Yangxin Hall was really surprising, and even Eunuch Shun was surprised. But then he thought that something happened to Princess Jingruo, and maybe the Queen Mother came to ask for news about the princess in person.
"See the Queen Mother, why are you here?" Eunuch Shun asked with a smile.
"The Ai family haven't seen the emperor for a long time, why isn't he in the Yangxin Hall?" The Queen Mother said with kind eyes, but her current mood could not be seen at all.
"Yes, wherever the Emperor is, my servant will be there. Please wait a moment, old man, and I will go and report to you." The Queen Mother nodded and did not speak. She just wanted to come over suddenly to see if Concubine Jing was there.
this.
"Queen Mother, please." Eunuch Shun quickened his pace and came out of Yangxin Hall, welcoming the Queen Mother in person.
"Mother, why are you here?" Murong Yu stood up and came to greet her personally.
However, the Queen Mother saw the person behind Murong Yu, Concubine Jing.
"I am here to see the Queen Mother." Concubine Jing obediently followed the standard etiquette.
The Queen Mother did not let her get up, but looked at Concubine Jing up and down.
Concubine Jing was dressed in white as always, looking very ethereal. In addition, she had practiced dancing before, making her figure appear gentle.
"Queen Mother." Murong Yu was naturally not happy to see the Queen Mother that Concubine Jing was here, but the Queen Mother did not ask Concubine Jing to get up. He felt very distressed, so he called out to the Queen Mother softly.
The Queen Mother turned her head to look at Murong Yu, and then said casually: "Get up."
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Concubine Jing stood up and stood next to Murong Yu.
"Mother, please sit down first. Why are you here at the Yangxin Palace? If you want to see me, just ask my grandma to come over and say that I will go to Xiangfu Palace in person." Murong Yu said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, it's natural that the Queen Mother hasn't seen you for a long time. However, the Queen Mother misses Concubine Jing.
Because Concubine Jing had not come to the Ai family to pay her respects for a long time, they sent someone to the Fengwu Palace. However, the people at the Fengwu Palace said that Concubine Jing was not here. The Ai Family thought, so they came to the Yangxin Palace. I thought.
It's really not easy to meet Concubine Jing, and you have to go to Yangxin Hall to disturb the emperor's official business." What the Queen Mother said is really clever. It means that this concubine is restless and ignorant. If you don't go to greet her,
She had no choice but to send someone to invite him. Unexpectedly, this person was no longer in the palace, but ran to the Yangxin Hall. And she could only come to the Yangxin Hall in person to meet a concubine, but where was the Yangxin Hall? That was handled by the emperor.
In the place of official business, if she only came to see Concubine Jing for one day, she would delay the emperor's government affairs. What about Concubine Jing? How unbecoming is it for a concubine who keeps to herself and goes to Yangxin Palace every day?
After the emperor and Concubine Jing heard this, their expressions changed drastically.
"Mother, if you miss Mi'er, ask her to go pay your respects tomorrow morning." Murong Yu said softly.
"Let's forget it. Concubine Jing needs to accompany the emperor every day. The Ai family is not here to talk about this. The Ai family wants to ask you, has there been any news about girl Xi'er?" The Queen Mother doesn't want to say more, anyway, it's just a first talk now.
It won’t be too late for Concubine Jing to clean up later.
Murong Yu never thought that the Queen Mother would suddenly ask about Murong Xi. He thought that the Queen Mother was here to teach Concubine Jing a lesson.
After slowing down for a while, he said: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I have already sent people to look for her. Mi'er also said that no news is good news, which proves that Xi'er is lucky and will be fine."
"Well, you are quite generous. However, the Ai family is very curious. Can Concubine Jing tell fortunes?" the Queen Mother said, taking a sip from the tea cup.
When Murong Yu saw the Queen Mother questioning Concubine Jing, there was a bit of annoyance between his eyebrows. So he said: "Empress Mother, why are you still joking? Isn't this because Mi'er is worried about me, so he comforts me? However, I feel the same way, and I believe it.
Xi'er will definitely be fine."
The Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Jing without revealing any trace, then looked at Murong Yu and said, "I heard that a few days ago, that girl Yan'er also came to Yangxin Hall to ask you about Xi'er's whereabouts?"
"Yes, speaking of which, I haven't seen Yan'er for several days." Murong Yu was still wondering whether Yan'er complained to the mother, so the mother came to investigate today?
"Well, I heard that you asked her to think about her past in Yunzhong Palace? Why is that? Did Yan'er do something wrong?" The Queen Mother continued to ask.
Murong Yu's face turned completely dark, and he never let go of his frown. He said emotionally to the Queen Mother: "Mother, did that girl Yan'er say something to you? It was originally her fault. She was worried that Xi'er could
I understand, but I can't take my anger out on Concubine Jing. After all, Concubine Jing is considered her mother-in-law, so how can she be so willful? Yan'er is really spoiled by me, and she actually went to Xiangfu Palace to complain.
Already?"
The Queen Mother smiled, she was waiting for these words from the emperor. After Murong Yan returned to Yunzhong Palace, she never came out, never went to her Xiangfu Palace, and never complained to her. Because, in her eyes,
Yan'er is as sensible as Xi'er and doesn't need to be worried at all.
"Since you are sure that Yan'er is wrong and you have complained to the Aijia, tell me how she became so willful. If Yan'er is wrong, unruly and willful and refuses to admit her mistakes, the Aijia will naturally not protect her." The Queen Mother smiled.
Said hehe.
"Forget it, Queen Mother, Yan'er is still young. Because of Xi'er's matter, Concubine Jing just comforted her a few words. She took advantage of her depression and bad mood and said some unpleasant words. I have asked her to think about it carefully.
Yes, so there is no need for the Queen Mother to punish her anymore." Murong Yu said respectfully.
