Concubine Qin felt resentful in her heart. She felt uncomfortable when she thought of her son suffering outside. However, she did not have the status of an emperor in the palace.
As a noble concubine, she was not as favored as a concubine. She was so lonely and cold in the palace that she couldn't even find a place to stay warm. She had to worry about her son who was even more difficult than her.
And nothing is pleasing to the eye.
She didn't mean to disturb the peace in the harem, she just wanted to vent her resentment. Concubine Hu couldn't afford to offend her. She knew it in her heart, not to mention the emperor's favor.
, even if she is not favored by the emperor, she is not the hands and feet of Concubine Hu. Concubine Hu has a strong temperament. Although she is a person who talks about right and wrong, if she really hates her, I don't need her.
If she takes action, she can crush a person to death with her bare hands.
The imperial concubine was very clear-minded and knew that Concubine Qin wanted to disturb the happy atmosphere. She did not necessarily have much malice in her heart, but Concubine Hu,
What Xiao Lao Shi said is really annoying. How old is a child? He said such words right in front of the palace. If no one instigates him, who can?
Where is the letter?
She remembered that when Lao Wu and his wife left the palace last night, Lao Wu kept looking at Xiao Lao Shi, while the Crown Princess kept talking to Mrs. Yao, and her expression was not so good.
It's very good-looking. The Crown Princess has always known the general situation. In the atmosphere like last night, she also had a sullen face, which shows that she also cares about these 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, 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 be vegetarian.
At the beginning of the year, she became a vegetarian and made offerings to the Buddha. After the Queen Mother left, not many people followed this rule, but Concubine Hu still kept this rule.
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 Ten twisted his body and went down happily, and was led out to play by the nanny.
The imperial concubine beat 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
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 said that she also
I don’t know if it’s anger or grievance, but more of a feeling of powerlessness and helplessness, “Huang Guifei, believe me, I have never taught him to say such things.
To be honest, I haven’t thought about it at all.”
"I know, 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 about the people in the palace.
Do you believe it all? Will anyone teach him to say such things? This is harming you, you must think clearly."
Concubine Hu shook her head blankly, "After the winter, when I moved to the Cailian Palace, I was surrounded by almost all the people who were serving me before. There were a few people who were transferred from the inner government and were not allowed to do anything."
When I entered the palace to serve you, I didn’t pay much attention to you.”
"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? Open your mouth.
Just come here, you can see that someone has taught you."
There was hatred in Concubine Hu's eyes, "If I let this concubine know who it is, he will definitely die a miserable death."
The imperial concubine warned: "Be more careful when you go back. Even the people who were close to you in the past are not completely trustworthy. Your father is now separated from the prince."
You and the Crown Princess get along well with each other. If you have a grudge because of this matter, it will not be good for anyone."
Concubine Hu smiled bitterly, with tears in her eyes, "The Crown Princess doubts me, and the Emperor also doubts me. I wanted to leave the Crown Princess to say something and explain clearly last night, but she didn't
I know that she didn't even pay attention to me and just left. Since last night, the emperor has never been kind to me. How can he not understand me so much? Lian Huanggui
Concubine, you believe me, why doesn’t he believe me?”
The imperial concubine frowned, "You think you are thinking wildly again? The emperor knows who you are, how could he doubt you? As for the princess, she always understands justice.
, just explain it clearly, I will invite her to sit in the palace in two days and explain this matter to her clearly."
Concubine Hu was young after all, and although she had a violent temper, she had never experienced anything like this, so she could only listen to the imperial concubine in everything.
The imperial concubine comforted her for a few more words before asking her to go back.
The imperial concubine was feeling uneasy after all. The emperor was here last night, but she didn't mention it all night. She just pondered for a long time. Why did the emperor come to this place?
I think she really doesn't know.
I really hope that the emperor will not be suspicious of Concubine Hu. Otherwise, how can the former harem be stable?
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Yuan Qingling took her family back to her parents' home to visit the old lady of Jinghou Mansion. Yuan Qingping also came back, and the whole family had a meal together.
I gave them red envelopes and prepared large and small bags for them to take home.
Yuan Qingling said with a smile: "You are really a thief. I will empty the house when I come back. Grandma, you have to buy more, otherwise the few things in the house will be exhausted."
I can’t bear to move.”
The old lady of Jinghou Mansion said proudly: "There is no gold, silver or jewelry. All food, drink and clothing are available. You can come back and move whenever you want."
The old lady is naturally confident. Not to mention she has accumulated a lot over the years, but now there are many people who respect her. Who makes her the grandmother of the Crown Princess?
Returning to the mansion, Yu Wenhao took a look at the things that the old lady had brought back, and said to Yuan Qing: "Grandma is really rich, and she gave us several kilograms of bird's nests.
Well, I don’t even feel too embarrassed to ask for it.”
"Yes, she won't feel at ease if you don't want her. I'll just give you more things later." Yuan Qingling's heart was full of happiness, and she waited quietly for an old lady to come home.
There is also an old lady in the house. The head of the family has already agreed to make fried lion heads tonight.
"By the way, I don't know if Mrs. Yao has returned to her parents' home. Why don't we invite her over for dinner tonight." Yuan Qing said.
"She will definitely not come back. The abandoned girl will not return to her parents' home in the second year of junior high school. You can invite her if you want. We just have the princess come over and bring some snacks for fun." Yu Wenhao said.
"Okay, my name is Man'er... I'll ask Luya to invite me!" Yuan Qingling said, slowly, her eyebrows became a little worried, "I wonder how Man'er is doing now? It's such a big New Year.
She is not by my side, and I always feel that something is wrong."
Yu Wenhao put his arm around her shoulders, "Lao Jiu sent me a letter. They are slowly building up connections in Southern Xinjiang. Many of the old troops who originally followed the King of Southern Xinjiang have returned.
Following Man'er, Aunt Qing now also lives with them. Although they don't know each other, they get along like mother and daughter."
Yuan Qing Ling said: "That's good, everything seems to be going well."
