The imperial concubine came out from the emperor's side and hurried to the Ci'an Palace of the Queen Mother.
She told the Queen Mother what she had seen and heard from Her Majesty's side, "My Lady, does the Queen really want to rest quietly this time?" The Imperial Concubine naturally knew that the Queen would not give up so willingly, but there was no need for her to show off in front of the Queen Mother.
Got to be so smart.
The greatest advantage of the imperial concubine is that she is self-aware and never does anything beyond her capabilities.
The Queen Mother was pruning a small five-needle pine bonsai. She smiled when she heard this and said, "You and the Queen have been together for a long time. Do you think the Queen will really go to meditate and recuperate?"
"I am stupid, please express it to the Queen Mother..." The imperial concubine quickly approached the Queen Mother and asked.
"She is retreating in order to advance!" The Queen Mother smiled and said softly, "She can no longer use her tricks in the palace. Now the spies she planted can't work, and the ones the Zhou family found for His Majesty
The Taoist priest was also expelled from the Ai family. In the palace, she was already
There is no use for it, and besides, you are still pregnant. If anything goes wrong, she is afraid of getting into trouble. So she simply avoided all this. She went to Cihang Temple, which the Zhou family has always worshiped.
The nunnery has naturally returned to its own territory!"
"Then what's the use?" the imperial concubine asked, "She is a queen, she can't stay in Cihang Nunnery all the time. She has to go back to the palace."
"Let's take it one step at a time. Don't take things too seriously in this world. What the Ai family wants is for the stability of the country and your Majesty's health. The other Ai families can't care so much." The Queen Mother raised her eyes and looked at the cup in her hand.
The imperial concubine in her belly said, "Everyone has their own plans. If the Ai family has to figure out and understand them one by one, the Ai family will be too tired!"
The imperial concubine was slightly startled, and then quickly lowered her eyes. The Queen Mother glanced at her, which made her feel a little panicked. She instantly understood that her little thoughts had been seen through by the Queen Mother...
"I understand." The imperial concubine quickly followed the Queen Mother's words and said, "What I want is for Your Majesty to be safe, the harem to be harmonious, and the Queen Mother to be in good health."
"Haha." The Queen Mother laughed, "Okay, it's good if you have this heart. The Ai family is getting older and older, and there are many things that the Ai family doesn't want to touch. You can take good care of yourself and give birth to the Ai family.
The Ai family will be very happy if they give birth to a little imperial grandson or a little imperial granddaughter."
Although the Queen Mother praised the Imperial Concubine's family, she did not intend to build another Zhou family with her own hands... The Queen Mother reminded the Imperial Concubine by the way.
Do you really think this court is not enough for intrigue?
"Yes, I understand." Mentioning the child in her belly, the imperial concubine laughed, "By the way, Queen Mother, if the Queen is not here, what should I do about the prince's appointment?"
Cui's daughter followed her brother to Beijing and was already accused of being married to the prince. This matter was announced.
"The Ai family originally wanted to talk to you about this matter. Since the queen is going to Cihang Nunnery, the prince's betrothal gift to the Cui family will be left to you. You are heavy, may you be qualified?" The Queen Mother added.
I trimmed off a branch, looked at it, felt very satisfied, and then asked with a smile.
"I will definitely live up to the expectations of the Queen Mother and Your Majesty." The imperial concubine looked happy and nodded quickly, "I can do it."
What an honor it is to betroth the prince! Not to mention whether she is a boy or a girl, but with this relationship, the prince and her will be closer.
The prince is already a young man. Originally, as the imperial concubine, she had to keep a certain distance from the prince. After entering the palace for so many years, her relationship with the prince was just a meeting and a courtesy. If she could help the prince find a job, it would be different.
Regardless of whether she gave birth to a boy or a girl, it would be better than anything else to be protected by the prince before the child grows up. Even if the prince ascends the throne in the future, he will take more care of her child.
Not only the prince, but also big noble families like the Cui family of Qinghe would look at the entire Zhu family in a different light.
As long as this matter is done well, it will be of great benefit to her and the Zhu family without any harm.
The Queen Mother actually helped her, because the Queen Mother could do it herself. After the meeting, the good thing about Cui's side was that the Queen Mother got it herself...
"Don't tire yourself, isn't your third brother idle at home with nothing to do?" The Queen Mother said, "Let him be responsible for transporting the betrothal gift this time and accompanying the people of the East Palace to go to Qinghe. If he does it,
Good, it will also pave the way for the future. If you can't even do this little thing well, then the Ai family has made a mistake."
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" The imperial concubine was even more delighted. "I must urge my incompetent brother not to mess up this matter."
The imperial concubine said goodbye happily and left. The queen mother looked at her back and smiled and shook her head.
"Your Majesty, the third young master of the Zhu family looks very unreliable." Grandma Sun handed over a hot handkerchief to the Queen Mother to wipe her hands, and then said a little worriedly. "Does the Queen Mother really want to promote him?"
"He accepted Xiao Yu'er as his godmother." The Queen Mother wiped her hands and said, "We can't let people outside say that Xiao Yu'er accepted a trash as his godson."
"The Queen Mother has really thought deeply about Princess Anrong." Grandma Sun laughed.
"There is a limit to what the Ai family can do for Xiao Yu'er." The Queen Mother washed her hands and sat down, "That Qin Rui was too high-profile. He caught a white tiger and brought it back as a betrothal gift to Xiao Yu'er. This was originally a good thing, but it caused trouble all over the East.
It has all caused a sensation, and this will lay some hidden dangers. Why do you think the Queen chose this time to go to Cihang Nunnery?"
"The Queen wants to make Your Majesty feel guilty," said Grandma Sun.
"Your Majesty may not know about the white tiger yet," the Queen Mother said. "When your Majesty knows that the white tiger was caught by Qin Rui and used as a betrothal gift, I'm afraid you will be a little sulky."
"Your Majesty shouldn't be able to..." Grandma Sun was slightly startled.
"That child is the son of the Ai family. Don't the Ai family know him yet? The Great Xie Dynasty has suffered disasters for two consecutive years and the treasury is empty. Your Majesty already knows this. The Ai family has stopped his Chengtian Hall and Yinxian Terrace
, he must be dissatisfied in his heart, but after all, he has no money, and he can't say anything to the Ai family. There will definitely be some small emotions. But Qin Rui caught Bai Hu but didn't pay tribute.
Instead, the royal family directly used it as a betrothal gift. This is just a poke in the eyeballs of our Majesty." The Queen Mother said this, she even cried and laughed, "The Ai family knows that Qin Rui cherishes Xiao Yu'er, so they do this.
, but you have to know that the prince will hire the Cui family next, what can the prince bring to cover up the sensation caused by this white tiger?"
