In the Queen's Palace, Yan Shiyue asked while changing clothes: "I have no impression of her. It seems that she has never spoken to her."
"She," the queen said, "is a smart person. She doesn't open her mouth when she doesn't want to do anything. She never talks about anything, and she never stands out. She is indifferent to everyone, and her relationship is neither far nor close. But no one in the palace really says anything.
She is not good."
In a place like the harem, if no one said anything bad about her, then she was not that smart! She asked again, "What does she do at home?"
The queen smiled and said: "Looking at your question, I heard that you are going to be a wife, so you finally started to worry about these things."
Yan Shiyue said helplessly: "Aniang!"
"Well, Concubine Xian's father used to be the Minister of Household Affairs, but later he made a mistake and was demoted. Now he seems to be in Taichang Temple? Jin Yu?"
Jin Yu nodded: "Yes, it's at Taichang Temple."
Yan Shiyue was silent for a moment: "Then does she have a good relationship with the fourth brother?"
"It's strange," the queen said while personally helping her fit the hairpin ring: "The relationship between mother and child doesn't seem to be good. Back then, Concubine Xian gave birth to the sixth prince, who died of illness when he was less than two years old and suffered from all kinds of hair problems.
According to the imperial doctor, he died of shrimp disease. Some people said that Shiro fed him a spoonful of shrimp balls."
Allergic to shrimp?
Yan Shiyue asked: "What about actually?"
"I don't know." The Queen said: "This kind of thing, brother harming brother, whether intentionally or unintentionally, will not be said, so later it was said that it was fed by servants, but even if it is really Shiro, there must be someone
Otherwise, he would have no reason to harm Rokuro. Besides, he was only five years old at the time and would not have such a scheming intention."
She paused for a moment: "Silang is originally a silent person, and this makes him even more silent. The mother and son seem to be cold when they get along, but who knows what they are like in private? How can mother and son have an overnight feud?"
Yan Shiyue nodded silently and asked, "What is the relationship between Concubine Xian and Jin Heqiao?"
The queen was stunned: "Jin Heqiao? It doesn't matter?" She thought about it carefully, then looked at Jin Yu and Meng Min, and they both shook their heads: "It probably doesn't matter."
"What about Lin Fujian?"
"Lin Fujian?" Several people looked at each other, and then Meng Min said: "If you insist on having anything to do with him, a cousin of Concubine Xian is Lin Fujian's disciple."
So this relationship is a bit distant, right?
Yan Shiyue shook her head and wanted to ask again, but someone from outside came in and reported: "Mother, the Queen Mother is up."
The queen responded, looked her over a few times, "Okay, let's go."
Yan Shiyue came out and went to the Queen Mother's place with the Queen and Meng Min.
This was not the time to say hello, but the Concubine Xian and several empresses were all there, and they each paid greetings.
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Yue'er is here with the Ai family. It's been a long time since we last met. The Ai family misses you every day."
Yan Shiyue walked over with a smile, and the Queen Mother held her hand and took a closer look: "She still looks a little bad."
Yan Shiyue said with a smile, "Grandma, don't worry, she's healed. She's just a little weak in blood circulation and needs to be nursed back to health slowly."
The Queen Mother talked to her for a while, then let her out, and they all left together.
With Jia Bailian’s experience, others would have the guts to get into trouble at this time. They were talking about various blood-replenishing prescriptions, but Concubine Xian laughed and said: “Actually, it’s not a big deal to have heirs in trouble. I’ll ask the Queen to give you more later.”
Just let the maid come over."
Hehe, she said this just to wait for her to retaliate.
In other words, it depends on whether she dares to quarrel with her, but she lacks the confidence to do so.
Of course Yan Shiyue wanted to do as she wished, and turned around with a smile: "Are you instructing my mother on what to do? My mother is so worried, just give a few more to my fourth brother, and my family's affairs will not worry my mother.
.”
Okay, it still smells familiar, this is definitely real.
The Concubine Xian lowered her eyes and said, "I have overstepped my bounds. Please forgive me, the Queen."
Yan Shiyue took a few steps forward: "I've long heard that Concubine Xian is indifferent and never talks much. It's rare for her to open her mouth today, and she spoke so thoughtfully..." She smiled and walked closer to her, waiting for her, and raised her eyes.
After getting up, she stared into her eyes and smiled: "Yes, is there any special reason?"
Concubine Xian suddenly lowered her eyes.
She said in a low voice: "I made a mistake. Your Highness, please don't be offended."
"Just kidding," Yan Shiyue smiled and turned around: "Speaking of which, I have always been very lucky, but recently I have been quite unlucky. Until I heard news from Qinzhou that there was a female Taoist priest who was trying to suppress me... I
Only then did I suddenly realize that this was the case.”
She looked at Concubine Xian: "My Majesty, tell me, does this female Taoist priest have any internal support in the palace? My Majesty? My Majesty?"
Concubine Xian could only say: "I don't know, how could I know such a thing."
"Oh, is that so?" She said with a smile, "Okay, then let's do that."
She walked away leisurely.
As the footsteps of several people gradually faded away, Concubine Xian's clothes became wet with sweat.
When she raised her head, several concubines flew away from her, fearing that they would get even remotely close to her.
She never expected that this little woman could be so powerful. The moment their eyes met, she almost fell to the ground!
Did she know something? How did she know it? How much did she know?
When the queen returned to the palace, she asked her: "What did Concubine Xian do?"
"I just deceived her." Yan Shiyue said: "I have always wondered how the news about me being Wu Qi got out, so I just deceived her."
"Okay," the queen said with a smile: "It's very impressive. It looks like it really scared her."
Yan Shiyue hummed and asked someone to bring Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi over to play for a while. The pair of little people were already half a year old and looked exactly the same. They had thick eyebrows and big eyes. The more they looked at each other, the more they looked like Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty.
Yan Shiyue hugged and played with her, laughing loudly. Meng Min watched from a distance and quietly said to the queen: "What if it's true...?"
"Don't worry," the queen said, "Don't mention this matter again. Yue'er doesn't say anything, but she is angry in her heart."
She whispered in her ear and told what happened that day. Meng Min nodded: "If Ajing can say that, I feel relieved."
Just as he was talking, someone announced that His Highness the Prince had arrived.
As soon as the prince came in, he hugged Xiao Shi skillfully, came over to greet him, and said with a smile: "Auntie, I'm going to talk to Yue'er."
The queen nodded, and the prince came over.
Yan Shiyue pulled Xiaojiu's fingers out of his mouth and said, "Brother, are you here?"
The prince sat down next to her: "You attacked the wise concubine as soon as you entered the palace?"
Yan Shiyue loved to use this word, and other people, including Emperor Ming Yan and the Crown Prince, were misled by her and gradually got used to it. Yan Shiyue found it quite friendly and hummed with a smile.
The prince asked: "Why?"
She came over and whispered about Yu You and Xu Wanyang: "I felt something was wrong, so I gave it a try."
The prince teased her: "You still test people?"
"Why not?" Yan Shiyue raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm a master of middle school, okay?" (To be continued)
