"See you, Concubine Xian!" King Qi and Chu Mingcui stepped forward to say hello.
"Quickly excuse yourself and sit down!" Concubine Xian said with a smile.
The two of them sat down. Chu Mingcui looked at Concubine Xian and asked with concern: "I heard that Concubine Xian had a headache again. Can you please call the imperial doctor? Are you feeling better?"
Concubine Xian sighed in her heart, what a pity, this child has always been the most caring and filial to her, even the fifth child is not as good as her.
"The strong wind makes my head hurt. I'm used to it and it won't be a problem." Concubine Xian responded.
"Concubine Xianmu should pay attention to her body," Chu Mingcui said, then stood up and walked to Concubine Xian, "I'll rub it for you."
Gentle fingers pressed firmly against Concubine Xian's temples and kneaded them skillfully a few times. Concubine Xian sighed comfortably, "Aunt Lu will never be able to learn your skills."
She raised her eyes slightly and looked at King Qi, "Lao Qi, you are lucky to have married a good princess."
Concubine Xian was actually very sad in her heart, but she had been practicing in the palace for many years, so she naturally showed no emotion or anger. Therefore, in the ears of King Qi, a heartless person, she only thought it was praise.
King Qi looked at Chu Mingcui proudly and said, "That's what the Concubine Xianmu said."
Chu Mingcui blushed with embarrassment, gave him an angry look and said, "Okay, you go out and I'll talk to Concubine Xianmu."
The King of Qi was not interested in talking to the woman, so he stood up and left.
As soon as King Qi went out, Chu Mingcui's eyes turned red, "Xianmu Concubine, you must take care of yourself. I can't always wait in front of you. If you don't take care of yourself, you will always make me worry."
Concubine Xian took her hand and patted the back of it gently, "I'm not lucky enough to marry you. It's too late to say anything now."
"The prince is doing well now. Princess Chu is favored by the emperor. The emperor rewarded her with two strings of southern pearls. She said she wanted to send them to the empress. It can be regarded as her filial piety." Chu Mingcui said.
Concubine Xian was startled, "The emperor gave her a South Pearl as a reward? Is it an ordinary South Pearl?"
"No, Ryukyu paid tribute."
"Did the Emperor actually reward her with the Nanzhu that Ryukyu paid tribute to?" Concubine Xian couldn't help but be a little surprised, "I remember that the Emperor doesn't like her very much."
"She served the sick well and the Emperor liked her, so the Emperor liked her." Chu Mingcui said with a smile.
"Is there such a thing?" Concubine Xian didn't know this. News about the Qiankun Palace has always been sealed, and she was not qualified to serve on the sick. It was the queen who did it. Even the noble concubine could not get close to the Qiankun Palace.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Qingling was so fond of the Emperor and the Emperor that he even rewarded Nanzhu. If this was the case, then that would be another matter.
Chu Mingcui could see the change in Concubine Xian's mentality, her eyes were slightly cold and she was sneering in her heart.
I'm afraid, Concubine Xian, you are happy too soon.
After Chu Mingcui left, Concubine Xian waited for Yuan Qingling to come over.
If you get two strands of southern pearls and honor her with one strand, it can be regarded as her filial piety.
I just waited for half an hour and didn't see Yuan Qingling coming, so I sent Aunt Lu to inquire. Aunt Lu came back not long after she left and said, "My queen, there is no need to wait. The princess has already given me a string of southern pearls." The Queen."
Hearing this, Concubine Xian felt her heart go cold. After a while, she said coldly: "Yes, it would be good to give it to the Queen. She is a sensible person."
Aunt Lu couldn't help but said: "What's going on, Princess Chu? Why are you so busy trying to please the Queen? This servant who entered the palace didn't even come to pay your respects to the Queen. After receiving the reward, she immediately missed the Queen."
Concubine Xian was already angry at Yuan Qingling. Now that she had done such a thing, she became even more angry. She said coldly: "I don't know that the emperor learned that his kindness was used by her as a favor to curry favor with the queen.
What do you think?"
Aunt Lu was startled and said, "My dear, you can't do this, I'm afraid it will harm the prince."
