Concubine Qin felt resentful in her heart. She felt uncomfortable when she thought of her son suffering outside. However, in the palace, she was not as high as the imperial concubine, and she was not as favored as the concubine. She couldn't even think about the loneliness and coldness in the palace.
There was no place to stay warm, and she had to worry about her son who was having a harder time than her, so nothing she saw was pleasing to the eye.
She didn't mean to disturb the peace of the harem, she just wanted to vent her grievances. Concubine Hu couldn't afford to offend her. She knew in her heart that, not to mention the emperor's favor, even without the emperor's favor, she would not be the hands and feet of Concubine Hu.
The concubine has a strong temperament. Although she is a right-and-wrong person, if she really hates him, she can crush a person to death with her bare hands without her father taking action.
The imperial concubine was very clear-minded and knew that Concubine Qin wanted to disturb the happy atmosphere. She didn't necessarily have much malice in her heart, but on Concubine Hu's side, what Xiao Lao Shi said was really annoying. How old is she?
My child? He actually said such words in front of the palace. If he said that no one instigated him, who could believe him?
She remembered that when Lao Wu and his wife left the palace last night, Lao Wu kept looking at Xiao Lao Ten, while the Crown Princess kept talking to Mrs. Yao, and her face was not very good-looking. The Crown Princess always knew the general situation, and she was like that last night.
She also had a sullen face due to the atmosphere, which showed that she was also concerned about the words.
No matter what, I have to ask Concubine Hu about this and see who Xiao Lao Shi has been in contact with recently.
After the concubines left, the imperial concubine sent someone to invite the concubines to come over.
After a while, Concubine Hu brought Xiao Lao Shi over. There were still tears in her eyes, and her eyes were red and swollen. She came forward to see her.
The imperial concubine invited her to sit next to her, and then picked up little Lao Shi, who shouted in a soft accent: "Hello, the imperial concubine."
The imperial concubine liked Xiao Lao Shi from the bottom of her heart. Her smile was warm and kind, "Guier, be good, tell the imperial concubine, what did you eat today?"
"Be vegetarian!" Xiao Lao Shi said happily.
The imperial concubine raised her head and looked at Concubine Hu. On the first day of the new year, the harem was vegetarian. This was a rule set when the empress dowager was here. The empress dowager believed in Buddhism, so she advocated that the harem should become vegetarian at the beginning of the year to make offerings to the Buddha. The empress dowager left.
After that, few people actually followed this rule, but Concubine Hu still kept it.
The imperial concubine grabbed a handful of candies for Xiao Lao Shi and said with a smile: "Okay, go play, the imperial concubine wants to talk to your mother-in-law."
Little Old Shi twisted his body and went down happily, and was led out to play by the nanny.
The imperial concubine sent out all the servants serving the maids in the palace, then looked at Concubine Hu and said, "Don't take Concubine Qin's words to heart. You also know that she has always been mean-mouthed, but she has no ill intentions in her heart."
Concubine Hu almost didn't sleep all night last night. Her eyes were red and the circles under her eyes were dark. Even if she put on makeup, she couldn't hide her haggard look. When the imperial concubine talked about it, she didn't know whether it was anger or grievance. More
He was powerless and helpless, "Your Majesty, please believe me, I have never taught him to say such things. To be honest, I have never thought about it at all."
"Yes, I know who you are," the imperial concubine asked her to sit in front of her, patted the back of her hand, and said softly: "Think carefully, can everyone in the palace be trusted? Will there be someone to teach him?
Saying such things? This is harming you, you must think clearly."
Concubine Hu shook her head blankly, "After the winter, I moved to Cai Lian Hall, and I was surrounded by almost all the people who were serving me before. There were a few people who were transferred from the inner palace, and they were not allowed to enter the hall to serve me. I didn't pay much attention to it."
"You have to pay attention. I suspect that there is someone with ulterior motives in your palace. Gui'er is so young, how can she know what it means to be an emperor? She just opens her mouth, so it can be seen that someone has taught her."
There was hatred in Concubine Hu's eyes, "If I let this concubine know who it is, he will definitely die a miserable death."
