Yuan Qingling kept smiling and said, "It's cured. If not, the fever won't go away by now."
Concubine Xian stopped, looked back at her, and said sternly: "What do you mean? Are you cursing him?"
Yuan Qingling almost bumped into her and finally stopped. Hearing these words, he resisted the urge to punch her in the eye and said, "I don't dare, my daughter-in-law didn't mean that."
"Then what do you mean? Asking for credit?" Concubine Xian did not let her go.
Yuan Qingling looked back at Grandma Xi for help and winked, "Mother Xi, you are good at dealing with shrews, go ahead."
Aunt Xi smiled and stepped forward to help Concubine Xian, "Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a while. Why do I think you are much younger than before? Look at your fair and transparent skin. I just thought I was wrong. No.
Do you know what kind of elixir the empress takes?"
Women between the ages of 18 and 80 like to be told that they are young and beautiful. Although they knew that Aunt Xi was talking about business, Concubine Xian's inner feelings of cowardice were reduced by most, and she said with a smile: "Look what Auntie said.
Yes, I'm still young? I'm old. I'm almost forty. I haven't taken any elixirs. It's the Bai Mi Dan that grandma gave me in the past. I eat this elixir well and I feel that my skin is pleasing to the eye.
Hey, do you think the wrinkles at the corners of your eyes are lighter?"
In fact, it is already forty-two.
Grandma really looked at it carefully and exclaimed: "Oh my God, it's really lightened up. If I don't frown, I won't even see any fine lines."
Concubine Xian patted the back of her hand, smiled and sighed, "People in this palace are hypocritical in their words, but I still like your frankness and honesty, grandma."
Mammy smiled and helped her in, "Mother, I have lived for most of my life, and I don't like hypocrisy the most..."
Yuan Qingling followed behind and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew why her mother-in-law was angry. In addition to Lao Wu's injury, there was also the matter of Miss Hu.
How could she not understand what her mother-in-law was thinking?
I have always been looking forward to the fifth child becoming the crown prince. If I marry Miss Hu, my chances of winning will be much higher. Without strong support, my mother-in-law will be one step away from her dream. I am afraid her heart will be broken.
It's true that he went out of the palace to see that his son's injury was fake, but he found an excuse to reprimand her to vent his anger.
It was not the first time that Lao Wu was injured, and he had never seen her come over to take care of him so nervously.
Sure enough, Concubine Xian entered Xiaoyue Pavilion, glanced at Yu Wenhao a few times, shed a tear or two, and called Yuan Qingling a few words about her poor son, and then called Yuan Qingling out, saying that she had something to say to her.
Yuan Qingling followed out helplessly. At this moment, she really wanted to faint.
In fact, she was not far away from passing out. She was so sleepy that she could fall asleep anytime and anywhere.
Pregnant women get sleepy very easily.
After entering the side room and warming the stove, Concubine Xian looked at Yuan Qingling with raised eyebrows, "I heard that you don't allow the prince to marry Miss Hu as his concubine?"
No matter how you answer this, it will be a dead end.
She was driven back to her parents' home after she refused directly to the emperor. Her mother-in-law must also know about this.
If you answer yes, you will inevitably be reprimanded.
Therefore, Yuan Qingling said without hesitation: "Mother, concubine, this is not my daughter-in-law's idea, this is the prince's idea. The prince did not dare to disobey the father, so he had to use me as a shield and asked me to tell him in front of the father that he was not allowed to marry his side wife.
Concubine, my father will remember that I am pregnant and will be dealt with lightly."
Her husband was for sale, and Yuan Qingling had no guilt or shame at all.
Concubine Xian obviously didn't believe it. She slapped the table and said, "That's nonsense. This is good for his future. How could he disagree?"
Yuan Qingling wiped the corners of her eyes sadly, God, I feel so sleepy.
"Concubine, it's true. The prince said that Miss Hu grew up in the north of the town. She has an unruly temperament and her natal family is very powerful. After entering the palace, she will probably be difficult to discipline and cause trouble."
She felt sorry for Miss Hu, whom she had never met before. Although the outside world said that Miss Hu was really arrogant and domineering, they had not been confirmed and the rumors were also false.
