"The person of Concubine Lan?" The queen asked with a crack on her dignified face.

"Yes, it's the Empress Lan's man. A big palace maid who was following her before was kicked out three years ago when something happened." Madam Xi knelt on the ground and reported everything.

He lowered his head and dared not peek at the Queen's face.

The hall was quiet, so quiet that Madam Xi could hear her breathing clearly. Madam Xi lowered her head.

After a while, the Queen's voice was heard: "Is it really the Concubine Lan?"

"I can be sure that I am indeed the one of Concubine Lan!" said Madam Xi.

This time it was another long time of silence. There was a feeling of depression in the silent atmosphere, and Madam Xi was breathless.

"Why did Concubine Lan appear next to Miss Shao Wu from Duke Xingguo's Mansion? Didn't he... like her?" The queen's voice seemed to be talking to herself, and it sounded quite peaceful.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"I don't think it's very similar. The palace maid three years ago did have to leave the palace because of the incident. That time, the empress was fair in her actions, and even the emperor could not say anything!"

Madam Xi carefully reminded her that what happened three years ago was a battle between the Empress and Concubine Lan. It was indeed an accident, and this accident ended with the Empress's victory, driving the useless confidant around Concubine Lan out of the palace.

The Queen was silent again. She naturally remembered this. How could she forget the victory when two people secretly competed?

Three years ago, Shao Wanru was just the second lady of the Qin Mansion, so she came from a remote place and had no connection with the capital. It was indeed impossible to have anything to do with Concubine Lan. The only thing she could get involved was that Chu Liuchen went to Jiangzhou. I heard that he lived in General Ningyuan's mansion in Jiangzhou.

But she was just living there. At that time, Shao Wanru was only eleven years old and knew nothing. No one could plot against such a young girl. And at that time she was not favored, and she had already had a fight with the young lady in the Qin Mansion on the ground in Jiangzhou.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

No matter how you look at Concubine Lan, it is impossible for her to choose her!

That was really just an accident? She was a little unsure.

"Three years ago, I heard that the Empress Dowager wanted to give the fifth lady from Duke Xingguo's mansion to King Chen. Could it be that it is true?" said the Empress.

She said this very lightly, and she didn't want Madam Xi to answer, she just subconsciously talked to herself.

Three years ago, she guessed this way, thinking that the Empress Dowager's various behaviors were all indicative. She first summoned her and then asked Shao Wanru to rest in the side hall. The King of Chen happened to be there in the side hall. It seemed that the Empress Dowager wanted to get along with them, but the Empress always felt very suspicious.

Shao Wanru is not an excellent candidate, why is the Empress Dowager so fond of her?

The Empress is the daughter-in-law of the Empress Dowager. She also knows her partial mother-in-law very well. She always knows that the Empress Dowager wants to find a powerful noble daughter for King Chen, so that King Chen can enjoy the glory after she is gone. Even if the new emperor dislikes him in the future, he will be protected by the noble daughter of the noble daughter, the new emperor cannot treat him.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Although Shao Wanru's identity is also good, she is leaning against the Ruian Grand Princess Mansion and Xingguo Duke's Mansion, anyone familiar with the inside knows that Xingguo Duke's Mansion cannot support Shao Wanru, and Ruian Grand Princess Mansion is an empty affair. Such a candidate is not the candidate that the queen mother loves the most.

At that time, the Empress Dowager gave out the jade pendant, and the most likely thing was that it was meaningful, so I would like to express it first, but the Empress Dowager was not willing to give up so I really only allowed her. Like this time, I would definitely choose again in secret.

As for the rumors that were released, it was just the most intuitive guess that some people followed the actions of the Empress Dowager at that time, and they could not be taken as true.

Since it cannot be true, Concubine Lan will not interfere.

So, after Concubine Lan's palace maid was kicked out of the palace, it was really just an accident?

"Go and check the records of her leaving the palace at that time to see why she went to Qin Mansion to be a tutor, who asked her to go, or did she ask for it on her own initiative?"&1t;i>&1t;/i>

After pondering for a while, the Queen ordered a grand palace maid next to her to say.

"Yes, Empress, I will go check now!" The palace maid hurriedly left, and the hall became quiet again. The empress frowned and thought about this matter quietly.

This incident was too unexpected. It made her have various speculations for a while, but when she thought about it carefully, she didn't know which one was true. It seemed that it was possible, some were more likely, and some were less likely.

Madam Xi lowered her head and knelt there, not daring to move. Even if she didn't look up, she knew that the Empress's face was very bad now, and the news she brought was a big deal.

One sitting and one kneeling, there were two palace maids standing beside the Queen, but they were all quiet without a trace of sound.

"Empress, the King of Zhou is coming down!" A sharp voice from the palace gate suddenly came from the eunuch.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Please come in!" the queen said coldly.

The palace gate opened wide, and Chu Liuzhou walked in with great strides. Seeing the kneeling Madam Xi, she just glanced at her, then continued to move forward, walked to the Queen, bowed, and asked with concern: "Does the mother's body feel uncomfortable?"

The Queen's expression looked a little gloomy.

"No obstacle, sit down and talk!" The Queen said, pointing to the chair beside her.

The King of Zhou came over and lifted his robe and sat down.

"My mother has any worries?"

"For the sake of the draft!" The Queen did not hide it, and reached out to rub her eyebrows and said, looking quite tired.

"Isn't there a talent show yet? Why is the queen mother so tired? If she is really tired, just choose a few other concubines to host. The queen mother just needs to take a look at it at the end!"&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Chu Liuzhou's careless way.

"Zhou'er, tell your mother, do you mean to marry the eldest lady from Duke Xingguo's mansion as the official concubine?" The queen asked with a wry smile.

As the lord of the harem, she looks very glorious, but in fact she is struggling every step. Not only is there an emperor and an empress dowager on her, either of these two people is easy to mess with. What she hopes most now is her son.

If your son takes that position, you don’t have to live like you are now.

"You can be a concubine!" Chu Liuzhou thought for a while.

At the beginning, he did want Shao Yanru to be the official concubine, but he has been very satisfied recently. Although Chu Qing saved Shao Jie'er, he was the insider he saw on the spot, so how could he really not know that the reason he insisted with Chu Liuyue was that he was the one who fell from Shao Jie'er was because he was afraid that Shao Yanru would really be paired with Chu Qing.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

The son of the late emperor knew at a glance that he was a restless person and had used so many tricks to appear in front of the world.

The children of the royal family have always been the ones who are stolen by the hearts of the seven thieves, how could they be really confused by some coincidences? Everything is just means. Moreover, through this means, Chu Qing really appeared in front of the world, became the son of the late emperor, and also had the capital to compete with them.

If you find him a powerful wife, it will be unfavorable to anyone.

However, his slander for Shao Yanru also exists. In Chu Liuzhou, Shao Yanru's reputation was a loss. He pulled and tugged in front of him and hugged him. At that time, there were guards helping him, and seemed to have helped him hug him and held him up.

However, he could not push Shao Yanru to Chu Liuyue's side. After thinking about it, he felt that a concubine gave Shao Yanru, who had lost her reputation. He couldn't swallow this breath, as if he had swallowed something unclean in his throat, but he could still give the position of a concubine.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"The Duke Xingguo Mansion will not agree to their eldest daughter as a concubine!" The Empress frowned and said unhappy.

She and Chu Liuzhou had different ideas. Of course she knew that Shao Yanru fell into the water, but so what? Anyway, there was no news about Shao Yanru falling into the water outside. Shao Jie'er was just going to take the blame. So Shao Yanru was still intact in front of others.

The strength of the Duke of Xingguo Mansion really made her jealous.

"In front of me, I pulled and pulled with other men, hugged each other with wet clothes, and the same was true with the guards. How could the Duke Xingguo Mansion have the conditions to talk to me about the position of the official concubine!" Chu Liuzhou said disdainfully.

With these premises, as long as you propose it yourself, the Duke Xingguo Mansion cannot refuse.

The Empress was not as optimistic as he thought, and still frowned: "Where will Chu Liuyue give her the position of a concubine?"&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Chu Liuyue also saw her at that time. If he didn't want to raise his head in front of me, he would have to give her a concubine."

Chu Liu Zhou Dao.

The two are brothers and are also competitive. Since the time of governor, the two have been in this relationship and have refused to give in to each other. When they saw Shao Yanru fall into the water, they were together. It was because both of them hesitated for a moment that Chu Qing took advantage of the loophole.

Others don’t know about Chu Qing’s rescue of Shao Yanru, but the two of them saw it with their own eyes. If they were allowed to become their own wife, they would inevitably lose face in front of another person.

No one wants to embarrass this. Even if they compete for the throne, the prince will have the pride of the prince!

After hearing what he said, the Queen was silent for a moment and felt it was reasonable.

"Even if you give the position of concubine, you cannot guarantee that the young lady from Duke Xingguo's mansion will enter your Prince Zhou's mansion." The Empress pointed out new questions again.

"My mother, don't worry first. Let's talk about this matter after the girls enter the palace. You are the host of the talent show. If there are any accidents or things happening at that time, if there are too many people, who can explain it clearly!" Chu Liu and Zhou Yi smiled with a point of view.

During the talent show, I had to live in the palace for a while, and there were many concubines in the palace. It was really simple to have something.

The Empress nodded in agreement, but Sui frowned again: "I sent Madam Xi to educate Miss Shao before, and I also kept raising Miss Shao on the surface and hitting her secretly, but now something has happened."

"What's the problem?" Chu Liuzhou asked.

The Empress's face became gloomy and she didn't say for a moment. After a while, she said: "Since she intends to let Shao Yanru enter your Zhou Palace, then another lady from the Duke Xingguo Mansion, Shao Wanru, cannot be selected."
