Chapter 227: If I can't make it through, Qian's is a concubine
In the main hall, the Queen Mother was sitting high up, with a kind look on her face. When she saw her grandfather and grandson saluting, she hurriedly asked them to sit down.
Sitting on the side is the empress. Her appearance is not the most outstanding, but she is full of majesty and amazing momentum. The empress of the first palace is indeed different from ordinary concubines.
Except for the two most distinguished people in the harem, there were no other concubines present.
"Is this your little granddaughter, the one you raised in Jiangnan?" After looking at Yu Xijiao up and down, the Queen Mother sighed, "Such a more delicate child makes people like her just by looking at her."
"What the Queen Mother said is that I also like it when I see it. How come such a beautiful little girl was not born in the palace and let the eldest princess get the advantage?" The Queen Empress covered her lips and said with a smile, her eyes were also worried.
Jiao looked over her body.
"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is overly praised, so this child can barely get by." Princess An and the eldest princess said humbly.
"If this is considered acceptable, then I will not look down upon you." The Queen teased.
"The Empress said this, how can her little child stand up to it? If the Empress doesn't like it, I'm afraid this child won't be able to see it anymore." Princess An and the eldest princess said with a smile.
Everyone laughed when he said this.
Yu Xijiao sat on the edge with her head bowed and respectfully. At this time, she couldn't say a word. She only had a bit of shyness and a gentle and gentle temperament.
She was a calm girl. The Queen Mother was very satisfied with her temperament and nodded secretly.
"Come here, child, let Aijia take a good look at you." The Queen Mother waved to Yu Xijiao.
Yu Xijiao raised her eyes and blinked her long eyelashes, feeling very uneasy.
"It's not over yet." An and the eldest princess laughed.
Yu Xijiao stood up in a hurry, walked to the Queen Mother, and paid homage again. The Queen Mother pulled Yu Xijiao up, and the more she looked at her, the more she liked her.
"This child is really good, how come he is so good!" The Queen Mother gently patted Yu Xijiao's hand, and asked someone to set up a chair for Yu Xijiao and sit next to her.
"Tell me how you saved Yu'er." When she sat down, the Queen Mother asked eagerly.
She asked her grandson about this, and he just said it casually. Then he became impatient and said that he would save anyone who saw him at that time, but it was nothing.
Even if the Queen Mother doted on her grandson, she would be so angry that she would hit Feng Yu hard. This kind of thing is not nothing. What kind of thing is?
Yu Xijiao calmly told the story of the matter. The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother nodded repeatedly. This matter was really done. It was indeed true.
This is a great favor, but we cannot say it directly for fear of affecting the girl's reputation. Of course, if this is not the granddaughter of Princess An and the eldest princess, the impact will be affected, but now we cannot be so casual.
"Is there someone in the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion who wants to harm you?" The Queen asked after hearing some inconsistencies.
"That's what she said. The old lady also said she couldn't find anyone, saying... maybe it was because I saw something, otherwise no one would want to harm me." Yu Xijiao lowered her head and said uneasily.
"Where is that mother-in-law? Didn't you ask clearly?" The queen was surprised.
"As soon as I asked you, I stopped. After that..." Yu Xijiao looked at her grandmother, and Princess An and the eldest daughter answered, "The mother-in-law who betrayed the master will be punished directly."
"Such people should indeed be punished. They can even harm their own master, so what's the point of coming here." The Queen Mother nodded, "We need to investigate this matter carefully at the Marquis Mansion. How come there are so many chaotic things."
"Don't worry, mother, we are already investigating. The assassin's matter is also related to the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion." The Queen Mother smiled and reassured the Queen Mother.
"Good boy, thanks to you." The Queen Mother sighed again. The more she looked at it, the happier she felt, and there was a new idea in her heart.
"This is what a minister should do." Yu Xi lowered her head tenderly.
"Mr. Xie from Jiangnan really knows how to raise children. Look at how well this child has been raised... gentle and dignified." The Empress Dowager praised again, her eyes becoming softer and happier as she looked at Yu Xijiao.
This time even Mrs. Xie praised me.
Yu Xi lowered her head shyly, pinched the handkerchief in her hand, and blushed.
"Empress Dowager, if you praise her like this again, this child won't know how to speak." Princess An and the eldest princess smiled and helped her out.
"You, you are still the same as before. Of course you have to praise your child for getting better." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
"Mother, this is Miss Yu's first time entering the palace. Can you let her go shopping first?" The Queen smiled and pointed out, "The eldest princess has not been in the palace for a long time. You can't hold me captive."
At the girl’s house, let her sit all the time.”
"That's what I said. Come, take Miss Yu San around the palace and enjoy the scenery. It's your first time here, so you have to take a good look at the scenery in the palace." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
A palace maid came over and saluted Yu Xijiao: "Miss Yu."
Yu Xijiao knew that the Queen Mother had something to say to her grandmother, so she immediately stood up, bowed to these people, and then left behind the palace maids.
Watching Yu Xijiao leave, the kind smile on the Queen Mother's face faded: "Anhe, how is your health? Still not feeling well?"
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern. It's all a disease of old age. The older you get, the worse your health becomes." Princess An and the eldest princess said respectfully, with her back straight.
"You are so old, why don't you live with your son and at least have someone to take care of you?" the Queen Mother advised softly.
"A good-for-nothing." An and the eldest princess snorted coldly, their eyes filled with displeasure.
"You... are just too strong. Marquis Xuanping is not as good as the old Marquis Xuanping, but he is not as good as the superior but more than the inferior. He is your only son and the only heir of the old Marquis Xuanping. As a mother, you,
Why do you dislike him so much?" The Queen Mother sighed.
She also saw the conflict between Marquis Xuanping and his son.
"Forget it if he doesn't make progress, he did stupid things again, and even smashed Xie's carriage. He really regarded himself as a figure! In order to marry an equal wife, he did such shameless things." An He
The eldest princess was depressed.
"Eldest Princess, there is no need to be angry. That was all in the past. Marquis Xuanping is very good now and has not caused you any trouble. I heard that Miss Yu was also very good to Miss Yu after she came back." The queen said.
The empress smiled and said, "The three girls from Xuanpinghou Mansion are all blessed."
"The Queen is overly praised. Even if she is blessed, she is not afraid of the Queen Mother and the Queen's jokes. I have raised a fool." Princess An and the eldest princess sighed, stretched out her hand to rub the center of her eyebrows, and scolded, "His father said back then.
That’s right, it’s not of much use.”
This really crushed Yu Ruiwen into the dust.
The most noble mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and felt helpless. Yu Ruiwen was really useless.
The queen coughed lowly and glanced at Princess An and the eldest princess: "Your temper is still the same as before. Marquis Xuanping is actually really good. Look at how many such good children he has given you now.
Granddaughter, the third girl is already so outstanding, and the second girl is even more talented and beautiful."
"She was born from Qian, and her appearance is not much better." An and the eldest princess said angrily.
The Queen Mother couldn't take it anymore. The Queen Mother looked helplessly at the Queen Mother. Today they were to explore An and the Eldest Princess and discuss the matter with An and the Eldest Princess.
"It has been so many years since this happened. Xie is no longer here. Now Qian is Mrs. Xuanpinghou. Why do you still care about these things?" the Queen Mother said gently.
Princess An and the eldest daughter turned her head slightly, wiped away the trace of eye marks in the corner of her eyes, and then looked back with her back still straight: "The only wife I have here is Mrs. Xie, and Mrs. Qian... is just a concubine."
These words are extremely stubborn, but when I think about the fact that An and the eldest princess have been at odds with their son for so many years, although there are many reasons, the Qian incident was indeed a point where the conflict between An and the eldest princess and their son broke out. It once even caused trouble in the palace.
After that, the Queen Mother didn't know what to say.
"How come you are still like this at such an old age? He must be your only son after all." The Queen Mother said helplessly.
"I will just pretend that I have never given birth." An and the eldest princess' temper has not changed. They said this more than ten years ago and still say it now. It can be seen that An and the eldest princess' temper has not changed.
The royal mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other with helpless expressions.
Princess An and the eldest daughter were determined to ignore the Qian family. This also included Yu Yuxi, the son of the Qian family, right?
Yu Xijiao followed the palace maid into the imperial garden and didn't go far, resting in a pavilion in front of a rockery.
Seeing that she didn't want to leave anymore, the palace maid went back to prepare tea and snacks and asked her to wait for a while.
Yu Xijiao sat down at the fence. It was close to the rockery and under the shade of the trees. The breeze was blowing and it was very comfortable. It was a good place to rest and cool down.
After sitting down, Mingyue gently pulled Yu Xijiao's clothes and pointed back. Yu Xijiao understood immediately, relaxed her movements, leaned back and listened quietly.
Sure enough, I heard a faint sound of hesitation behind the rockery, and then a woman's voice came: "How are you, are you ready?"
The voice was urging.
"Girl, do you really want to... pick flowers? This... this is a bit far away. I am afraid that you will fall into the river." The maid said anxiously.
"What are you afraid of?" The woman didn't care.
"Girl, if you fall, even if you have 10,000 heads, it won't be enough to chop you off." The maid said with a sad face.
"Go and see if there is anyone behind the rockery. I thought I heard someone's voice just now, so I called over to pick flowers." The woman said in an angry voice.
"Okay, girl, I'll go look for you now." After the maid finished speaking, there was the sound of footsteps coming here.
The two masters and servants in the pavilion looked at each other, and Yu Xijiao stood up. She didn't want to cause trouble when she entered the palace for the first time.
Helplessly, Yu Xijiao didn't want to cause trouble, but the person opposite had no intention of letting her go. She had just arrived at the pavilion when she heard an impolite voice coming from behind: "Hey, who is that? You... come and pick flowers for me.
