In the Zi Ning Palace, the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother were happily eating fruit. An Yidi and You Congshi walked in. When Yidi saw the Empress Dowager and the others from a distance, she called out: "Grandma, Empress...
"Then he approached and saluted: "Yidi has met the emperor's grandmother and the queen mother!"
You Congshi gracefully bowed her body from behind: "I've met my grandmother and my aunt from Congshi!" The Queen Mother looked at You Congshi with a smile, then looked at the unsteady An Yidi and said, "You child,
If only you were as sensible as your cousin!"
However, the Empress Dowager smiled happily and pulled An Yidi to her side: "Yidi is still young, so don't ask for too much!" She also looked at You Congshi as she said, "It's been a long time since we last saw each other, but Cong Shi is getting older.
She's even more beautiful, how are your parents doing lately?"
You Congshi made another gentle greeting: "Grandma is concerned about me. My father is currently away fighting. Maybe Congshi hasn't seen me for a long time. My mother is still in the house, and she always wants to see my aunt..."
"Yes!" The Empress Dowager nodded with satisfaction, and then looked in the direction of An Yidi, "I heard that you guys just came back from Prince Xi's Mansion today. How is Prince Xi?" The Empress Dowager mentioned Ji Chen Xi.
, there will always be a flash of concern.
An Yidi pouted, "Brother Xihuang ignored Yidi!"
"Oh?" The Empress Dowager smiled in surprise: "What kind of grievance has Yi Die suffered?"
You Congshi didn't want the Empress Dowager and the others to know about Yaxixuan, so she quickly replied in a timely manner: "My cousin is busy with official duties, so it's reasonable that he doesn't have time to accompany us!" The Empress Dowager knew Ji Chenxi's character, so she also pretended
Smiling and understanding You Congshi's words.
At this time, Xun'er's voice came from not far away: "No, I just want sister Xi..." Xun'er, who was wearing a yellow short robe, was crying and running. His handsome little face seemed to have been greatly wronged. The Queen
He chased after him and persuaded: "Xun'er, be obedient. In two days, Eniang and Amma will find a better husband..."
But Xun'er kept shouting and ran towards the Queen Mother. A pair of small hands kept shaking the Queen Mother's hand, with tears on her face: "Great-grandmother, Xun'er wants sister Xi to teach Xun'er how to read."
…”
The Queen Mother knelt down and followed Xun'er's hand, wiped Xun'er's tear-stained face with a silk scarf, and asked distressedly: "What's wrong with Xun'er? Why are you crying like this?"
The queen who hurried over tried her best to suppress her slightly panic expression and saluted quickly: "I've met the imperial grandmother, I've met the queen mother!" The queen mother asked a little angrily: "What's going on?"
The Queen lowered her head and said with some hesitation: "Xun'er, you have been calling for Xi Shunu all day long!" When the Queen Mother heard this, she slapped the table next to her angrily: "It's Mu Qianxi again!"
"Mu Qianxi?" You Congshi heard the name keenly, and began to feel uncomfortable for no reason: "The scholar Xi who the emperor just named is Mu Qianxi? What kind of woman is she?"
The Empress Dowager looked at Xun'er's face full of tears, and she felt a little unhappy: "Since Xun'er likes Xi Shunu, let Xi Shunu educate Xun'er about poetry and calligraphy. What's wrong with this?"
After hearing what the Queen Mother said, she immediately said with a look of disgust: "The Queen Mother doesn't know something. The scholar Xi is just a concubine in the Mu Mansion, but she doesn't know what she is thinking about. The previous one just went to Prince Xi's Mansion.
Please, Prince Xi, I have come to the palace to cause trouble again today, and I almost injured Xun'er a few days ago. With such a woman, how can I safely let her educate my Xun'er!"
When the Empress Dowager heard this, her expression did not improve, but she suddenly felt a little scared: "Is this really happening?" But after hearing what the Empress Dowager said, Xun'er said loudly: "Grandmother, Sister Xi didn't hurt me, and Sister Xi did not hurt me.
I'm fine!" When the Queen Mother heard this, her face suddenly turned pale: "What do you know? I think she had another purpose for being nice to you before!"
Xun'er's aggrieved little face turned to the Queen Mother angrily: "Since you don't like Sister Xi, then I won't be with you!" After saying that, he immediately broke away from the Queen Mother's hand and ran away angrily. The Queen quickly chased after her.
, "Xun'er, Xun'er, don't make trouble!"
The Empress Dowager also stood up anxiously, with her wrinkled hands firmly supporting the table next to her. An Yidi quickly helped her over: "Grandma, don't worry, the emperor's sister-in-law is here!"
However, the Queen Mother's face wrinkled together and she said in a tone of extreme disgust: "Look, this Mu Qianxi makes the chickens and dogs restless when she comes. Such a woman will only make trouble if she stays in the palace..."
Seeing Xun'er's reaction, the Queen Mother immediately understood that things were not as the Queen Mother said, and then said a little impatiently: "Well, the Mu Mansion is also a wealthy family, and I don't think the educated young lady will be so good.
It’s as bad as you said! Besides, the old lady of the Mu Mansion is also considered your sister, so no matter how much you say in the future, you will have to lose face!"
After listening to the words of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother could not say anything, so she had to stand obediently. When An Yidi heard these things, she thought of Mu Qianxi in Shao Qianmu's mouth, and was very fond of Mu Qianxi, whom she had never met before.
interested.
You Congshi was even more curious about Mu Qianxi. As soon as he came out of Zining Palace, he planned to go to Quanshi Palace to see what Mu Qianxi looked like. But as soon as he walked out, he saw Concubine Qing twitching.
Coming over, Concubine Qing was wearing a bright red robe, which was much more dazzling than You Congshi's light blue dress.
When Concubine Qing saw You Congshi from afar, her voice came over early: "Hey! Isn't this our cousin You? When did you come to the palace, why don't you come to see the emperor!" Concubine Qing's words were right.
It seems that the emperor is tired of being with her all day long. You Congshi has never seen her, which does not mean that he has never seen the emperor, right?
You Congshi made a slight salute: "I have seen Concubine Qing from Congshi, and it is auspicious for Concubine Qing!" Concubine Qing was also an impatient person. When she saw what Congshi's maid was holding, she had no time to bow.
, and asked hurriedly: "Where is my cousin going?"
You Congshi honestly told where he was going: "I heard that Xun'er's husband lived in Quanshi Palace. It happened that the Empress Dowager gave Congshi some soup. He couldn't finish it, so he brought some over to give Xi a book.
female…"
As soon as Concubine Qing heard that You Congshi was going to Quanshi Palace, she secretly took a breath in her heart. Mu Qianxi was already enough for her to deal with. If You Congshi was also interested in the emperor, that would be fine. You Congshi was also a long man.
A beautiful person. As Concubine Qing thought about it, her mind was suddenly flooded with strategies: "Mu Qianxi, I can't cure you obviously, but I don't know how to do it secretly..."
Concubine Qing, who had a scheming look on her face, looked at the soup in You Congshi's hand, and walked over pretending to be kind, "Really? The soup that the Empress Dowager rewarded must taste very good!" Then she stirred it gently with a spoon, and her hands were unconscious.
He put the medicine in it judiciously, pretended to smell it, and said with emotion: "The fragrance will hit your nostrils just by stirring it. My cousin is interested in such a precious soup!"
You Congshi didn't notice Concubine Qing's actions. She thought Concubine Qing was a little jealous, so she could only politely reply: "If Concubine Qing likes it, there are some more in Congshi's house. I'll ask someone to send them to you later."
past."
However, Concubine Qing retreated leisurely: "It's not necessary to bother me. It's fine if my cousin is willing!" Then she looked at the Quanshi Palace not far away and said casually: "I don't have anything to do, so I'll follow my cousin to Quanshi Palace.
Sit down in the palace!" Before You Congshi could express her position, Concubine Qing walked towards Quanshi Palace.
