Chu Qianqian stood in the palace and called her mother-in-law, but the Queen Mother seemed not to hear her. She tilted her head and kept chatting with Fu Yunchi. Maybe she was talking about Chu Miao'er. The Queen Mother frowned at times, looking at the two of them. None of them seemed to have a good expression, especially Fu Yunqi, who looked very gloomy.
"The Queen Mother, the Queen is here." Yu Ling whispered in the Queen Mother's ear, interrupting her conversation with Fu Yunchi.
The Queen Mother then raised her head and looked at Chu Qianqian, and found that there were still faint traces of tears in her eyes. She looked at Fu Yunqi and said, "What's going on? The Aijia heard that you have a bad temper today, why are you crying?"
"Since the Queen Mother already knows, I will no longer hide it from you," Chu Qianqian glanced at Fu Yunqi calmly and said with a sad expression, "When I first heard that Concubine Xue had had a miscarriage, I lost my temper for a moment because of grief and anger. Properly, he only cared about Xue'er but did not inform the fourth prince in advance and left the fourth princess in the concubine's palace. Now that he calmed down, he realized that this move was not appropriate. I was afraid that the mother would also be worried. So I came here specifically to ask my mother how I, my concubine, should explain to the Fourth Prince..."
The Queen Mother was already aware of this matter, so she neither got angry nor scolded her. She just asked lightly: "The Ai family has already explained it clearly to the Fourth Prince."
"Mother?..." Chu Qianqian was startled. She did not think that the Queen Mother would really agree with her actions, so she smiled awkwardly, "I will order someone to pick up the fourth princess later." Come out and promise to hand it over to the Fourth Prince with your own hands. This time, I didn’t think carefully. I want to make amends with the Fourth Prince here..."
Fu Yunchi looked at her coldly from the side, but didn't say a word, which made Chu Qianqian's back feel cold.
"Concubine Xue is young and has just lost her first child. It is understandable that the fourth princess should accompany her in the palace. After all, there are only three sisters in the Chu family. Her mother can't be counted on," the Queen Mother smiled and looked at Fu Yunchi. , said soothingly, "Yun Qi, please be more considerate. When Concubine Xue calms down a little, the Ai family will bring you back to the fourth prince's house unscathed. The Ai family promises you that they will not fail to do so." Bar?"
Her tone was tough and did not allow anyone to argue with her. Fu Yunqi's expression did not change at all, and was still as gloomy and dark as before. It was only then that Chu Qianqian understood why Fu Yunqi's face had not looked good from the beginning to the end.
However, the Queen Mother's decision was also beyond Chu Qianqian's expectation. She originally came here just to explain to the Queen Mother, and then sent someone to send Chu Miao'er back to the Fourth Prince's Mansion. What Chu Qianqian just said was absolutely amazing. It's not a lie. After she calmed down, she felt that she had done too much. Fu Lilian still couldn't do without Fu Yunqi's support. If he held a grudge because of this matter, wouldn't it be worth the loss? Xue'er is still young, and the child has not been born. She can ask for more, but nothing is more important than her son's future.
But what the Queen Mother said... made her not sure what to do...
"In that case, I will go back to the house and wait for her, and I will retire." Fu Yunchi knew that there was no room for return, so after saluting, he took a deep look at Chu Qianqian, then turned and left resolutely.
Chu Qianqian suddenly shuddered as she thought about his last look in his eyes, and her heart couldn't be at peace for a long time.
"Queen..." Seeing that she was uneasy, the Queen Mother called out to bring her thoughts back. The Queen Mother shook her head and smiled, "Now that the Crown Prince has a large number of courtiers supporting him, what is the Queen worried about?"
Being exposed to what she was thinking, Chu Qianqian was a little embarrassed, but she couldn't show it, so she could only reply stiffly: "I'm just afraid that the fourth princess will complain about me because of this matter. The queen mother also knows it, and I also know it."
There are only these two sisters, and the palms and backs of my hands are full of flesh, so naturally I want their best, and all my mistakes are due to my impulsiveness."
"It is true that you did something wrong in this matter, but the Ai family agrees very much." The Queen Mother smiled kindly, but her words were precise, "The Ai family also came from your time. Do you think that Concubine Xue is so small?"
Can you tell that you are thinking about Aijia? Although Aijia is old, her eyes are like a bright mirror."
"Mother, Queen Mother..." Chu Qianqian couldn't express her inner shock. She glanced at her quickly and was about to kneel down when she was grabbed by Yu Ling.
The Queen Mother didn't say anything when she saw it. Instead, she acted very calmly: "Concubine Xue neglected her duty and the prince was afraid of being punished, so she made an excuse and blamed it on Concubine Yun. The Ai family thought that Concubine Yun would definitely take advantage of her status to treat this harem."
It disturbed the peace, but Concubine Yun listened to the fourth princess, and the Ai family didn't expect it." She turned to look at Chu Qianqian, and suddenly asked, "Queen, does the queen know why the Ai family turned a deaf ear to the fourth princess being imprisoned by you?
Instead, I helped you speak in front of the Fourth Prince?"
"My concubine makes a bold guess..." Chu Qianqian didn't dare to look up at her, and said in a low voice and hesitantly, "Firstly, the queen mother felt that she couldn't handle the matter of Qin Luoge last time, and secondly... secondly, the queen mother felt that she could use four
The princess is here to restrain Concubine Yun?"
Or... the Queen Mother felt that Chu Miaoer should not be involved in the harem? Chu Qianqian carefully looked at the Queen Mother's face, thinking silently in her heart, but did not say it out loud. There were some things that the Queen Mother could say, but she didn't.
cannot.
"The Queen thinks too highly of Concubine Yun. She is just a pawn placed by Dong Jue in the palace. How can she restrain someone who doesn't even have an heir?" The Queen Mother chuckled lightly, and gradually stopped smiling.
, "Although the fourth princess is your sister, she is still the wife of a foreign minister. Concubine Yun had a close relationship with her before she entered the palace. The Ai family has not heard of people in the palace talking about private meetings between the two of them once or twice. If so,
If she doesn’t suffer a little bit, she will really think that no one can control her!”
From the time when the Queen Mother tried to induce Chu Miao'er to have a baby to no avail, then when Huyin announced that she was pregnant, and then Qin Luoge was put under house arrest, things happened one after another. The Queen Mother's attitude towards Chu Miao'er also changed obviously compared to her initial love for Chu Miao'er.
Change, so this incident was just a trigger. The Queen Mother had no way to deal with Fu Yunqi. She had long attributed all the reasons why Fu Yunqi refused to take a concubine to Chu Miaoer's jealousy and ignorance.
I'm afraid that no matter what Chu Miaoer does in the future, the Queen Mother will have a reason to find trouble with her, unless Chu Miaoer can give birth to a child quickly, or Fu Yunqi takes the initiative to take a concubine.
"The fourth princess also saw the physical conflict between the concubine and Yun Fei today, so she tried to persuade her..." Chu Qianqian explained softly, "The queen mother must not listen to those dirty words..."
"Okay, okay, empress, you don't have to speak for her. The Ai family knows very well. Let Concubine Xue stay and be honest. If something happens to the child in Concubine Yin's belly again, you, the empress, will not be able to escape the blame!
The relationship between the prince and the emperor is getting more and more tense. As the prince's mother and queen, you should give some guidance and guidance. Furthermore, the fourth prince is always a foreign minister, and the prince cannot rely on him all his life," the queen mother said tiredly.
He waved his hand and said, "Queen, go back and think about it yourself. The family is tired."
Yu Ling hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out her hand to help her stand up. When she passed by Chu Qianqian, the Queen Mother stopped and told her again: "What the Ai family said today, the Queen should think carefully about it when she gets back."
"Yes, I would like to abide by the teachings of my mother." Chu Qianqian agreed immediately, and then slowly raised her head after the Queen Mother left. Fu Yunqi was devoted to Li Lian, and although Chu Miao'er was not close to her on weekdays, he could
After her father passed away suddenly, she took care of all the affairs of the house by herself. It was a lot of hard work, and she also worried a lot about Xueer and her. Is it really necessary to abandon the couple as the Queen Mother said?
regardless of?
The more Chu Qianqian thought about it, the more her thoughts became confused and irritable, so she left Xiangfu Palace with a flick of her sleeves.
It was dusk when Fu Yunqi returned to the mansion again. Baitao was waiting at the door with eyes wide open, pacing back and forth. Tingfeng, who was following closely, was anxious for her.
Finally, I heard the sound of powerful hoofbeats, and slowly slowed down as he approached the door. I saw Fu Yunqi jump off the horse with a solemn and gloomy expression, and landed firmly on the ground without saying a word.
Passed by the two of them.
Seeing this, the tendon that Baitao had been hanging on was broken in an instant, and she started to cry loudly while hugging Tingfeng.
Seeing this, the tendon that Baitao had been hanging on was broken in an instant, and she started to cry loudly while hugging Tingfeng.
"The princess didn't come back... The prince didn't bring the princess back... What should I do..." She cried hoarsely, as if she was afraid that the people coming and going wouldn't hear her, and those who didn't know thought that something was wrong with the fourth princess.
!
Fu Yunqi left and returned, looked at Tingfeng gloomily and said, "Why don't you bring her in? Do you have to make the whole city know about it to be satisfied?" Then he looked at Baitao, who was in tears, and said lightly, "Your master is just
Stay in the palace for a few days and come back in a while! Why don't you go in quickly? Don't be embarrassed here."
Baitao cried so hard that she couldn't breathe. She heard Fu Yunqi's words in a daze, "I'll be back in a few days." She was frightened all day long, and suddenly her body became limp. She was supported by Tingfeng before she returned to the room.
After setting up Baitao, Tingfeng quietly walked into the prince's courtyard. As expected, the prince was sitting alone in the small courtyard, drinking wine, sip after sip. He knew that the prince's apparent calmness was all fake.
The prince is most reluctant to leave the princess, so how can he keep the princess in the palace with such confidence?
"Your Majesty, my subordinate, let me have a drink with you." Tingfeng volunteered and stepped forward. Without waiting for Fu Yunqi's consent, he was about to reach out for the wine pot, but was ridiculed by Fu Yunchi.
"Who allowed you to drink this wine? If you want to drink it, go get the others." Fu Yunqi twirled the glass, "This 'Fangchun Wine' is unique to Xiling. This wine is brewed in winter and matured in spring. It is mellow and sweet in the mouth.
This pot is so wonderful that I can’t bear to drink it.”
