It was Concubine De who reacted quickly and said quickly: "But with the Crown Princess here, Sister Xianfei can be cured of no matter how serious the illness is. Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about Sister Xianfei."
"Yes, yes!" Everyone hurriedly agreed with Concubine De's words.
Empress Chu knew that she had made a mistake and it was so inappropriate to say these words today. She secretly regretted that she had made a mistake and lost the dignity of the queen.
However, after listening to Concubine De's words, she was also very upset because she knew that Concubine Xian was not seriously ill, but was just grounded by the Queen Mother and the Emperor.
It's just that the prince's biological mother has been grounded and it would be unpalatable to spread the news, so she announced that she was seriously ill.
If the Queen Mother loses her temper after a while, the confinement order will definitely be lifted. When the Crown Prince ascends the throne, the virtuous concubine will be the Queen Mother. Although she is also the Queen Mother, she is unwilling to accept it. Why should she be a virtuous concubine?
Therefore, what she said just now was actually a curse on the virtuous concubine, hoping that she would be so unlucky that she would not be able to enjoy the blessings.
Seeing that the concubines were all caring about Concubine Xian, she felt more and more uncomfortable, but it was hard to show it at the moment. Instead, she had to echo Concubine De's words and said: "Concubine De is right, there is a prince
As long as the concubine is here, the virtuous concubine will definitely get better."
"Yes, the emperor is holy and the empress is benevolent. With the emperor and empress here, the concubines will be blessed and live longer." Concubine Lu complimented. God knows she was frightened just now. It was she who brought up this topic.
If the Queen had spoken more harshly, the situation would not have been easy to handle, and it would have reached the ears of the Queen Mother and the Emperor.
Yuan Qingling hugged the tenth prince on her knees, feeling tired. There were too many women, there was too much right and wrong, especially with so many women with interests sitting together, it would be hard to maintain harmony for half an hour.
She teased Little Lao Shi, whose chin became three layers, and he looked at Yuan Qing Ling motionless, without any reaction or even blinking, like a fat-headed fish that had its holes tapped.
"Hug my brother!" Baozi insisted, reaching out to hug him.
"Not a younger brother, but an imperial uncle!" Yuan Qingling corrected.
"Uncle Huang?" Baozi subconsciously turned his head to look, then shook his head like a rattle, "Uncle Huang is not coming!"
Everyone laughed. Baozi made such a fuss and resolved the embarrassment just now.
Empress Chu felt her mood was waning, so she said she wanted to go back to the palace to change her clothes. The concubines and the princesses hurriedly got up to see them off.
Empress Chu returned to her bedroom angrily and looked at herself in the mirror. Her beauty had faded, her honor and favor were gone, and her son was not living up to expectations. Even if she became the Queen Mother in the future, she would probably be suppressed by the virtuous concubine.
The more she looked like her, the more uncomfortable she felt. Just as King Qi and Lao Ba came in from outside to say hello to her, she vented her anger on King Qi, "What kind of greetings do you want to ask for? You didn't let the Queen Mother worry about it, so why not?"
Not as good as your brother."
King Qi came in high spirits, but he didn't expect to be scolded before he even knelt down. He couldn't help but be confused, "Mother, who made you angry?"
When Lao Ba saw the Queen getting angry, he was frightened and shrank away.
When Empress Chu saw Lao Ba's appearance, she sighed in her heart, stretched out her hand and said to Lao Ba: "The queen is not angry, come here, come here."
Lao Ba hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked over and held Empress Chu's hand, saying softly: "The Empress will not scold Brother Seven."
"Stop scolding!" Empress Chu also knew how capable her son was. In addition, the Chu family led by his father now also helped the prince. It would be useless to scold him. His status had been decided, so he could still go.
