Bai Ranran was just confused, but not afraid at all.
She stood up and knelt down again.
She was just kneeling, but her upper body was straightened, and her charming amber eyes looked at Concubine Shu with neither humility nor arrogance, "I feel bad for His Highness when he is punished, but do you think he was punished because of me?"
She believed that Mo Shaohua really loved her, but how much of his refusal to marry was because of her?
I'm afraid it's not even 10% of her reasons.
Although Concubine Shu's tone was indifferent, she didn't have the slightest hint of hostility in her body. I guess she didn't really blame her, I was afraid she just wanted to test her.
Bai Ranran was not afraid of trouble. Although her words were a bit contradictory to Concubine Shu, they were also true.
Concubine Shu couldn't help laughing when she saw Bai Ranran's indifferent expression, "Get up and sit down, otherwise Qin'er will come and see you soon, but you won't be able to see me for a long time."
She looked at Bai Lianran with great interest, and there was always a smile in her eyes. The uncertain look made Bai Lianran unable to figure her out.
"Concubine Xie Shu." Bai Ranran stood up and sat back without saying anything more.
When you don't understand the other person, it's always right to talk less.
Concubine Shu looked at her and seemed more restrained than before, and smiled: "I just joked with you, don't be restrained. With Qin'er's temperament, you will definitely become his princess. Since you will be my daughter-in-law sooner or later, first of all
Just call me Empress Shu."
"Yes, Miss Shu."
Bai Ranran behaved very well, and she responded to whatever Concubine Shu said.
Anyway, she is Mo Shaohua's elder, and she doesn't seem to have any ill intentions. Although I don't know the purpose of calling her here, let's talk to her.
Concubine Shu did not make things difficult for her anymore, but told her many things about Mo Shaohua's childhood.
Speaking of Mo Shaohua's childhood, Concubine Shu's eyes sparkled with smiles, "You don't know, Qin'er was a nerd when he was a child. He was methodical in everything he did and loved to be serious. He was so serious that he set himself a goal of shooting twenty arrows a day.
There will never be one more or one less, I have to go to bed at night, and I will never waste time."
"He was obedient and sensible when he was young, but he was not cute at all. When he was thirteen years old, he was injured while hunting in the paddock. He almost died. He was in a coma for seven days and lay in bed for three months before he fully recovered. The injury healed
He changed after that and became out of character, but he is cute like this and I like him."
Concubine Shu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, with a genuine smile on her face, as if Mo Shaohua was the source of her happiness.
"Humph, my mother-in-law is really partial. I have never seen you so cheerful when talking about me."
Mo Shaoyan walked in from outside the palace. He didn't even greet Concubine Shu. He glanced at Bai Liran and sat down on the chair next to her.
Concubine Shu glanced at him sideways and snorted, "You are becoming more and more unruly. Concubine, you are no longer allowed to communicate with me, and you are no longer polite. Be careful, I will make your majesty punish you by copying books."
When Mo Shaoyan heard the copy of the book, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Then he stood up and saluted Concubine Shu, "I have met my concubine."
What bothered him the most was copying books. Mo Shaohua always punished him when he was young. Later, Concubine Shu found out and always used this to threaten him.
"Okay, okay, sit down."
Concubine Shu changed her patience with Bai Lanran and waved her hand to Mo Shaoyan impatiently, "You said you have something to say. When you were young, you were timid and loved to cry. When something happened, you would hide behind your brother and hold your lap and cry.
, and then your eighth brother was so angry that he ignored you, and you turned into such an unpleasant look, what did your mother-in-law say to you?"
"Empress Shu!" Mo Shaoyan frowned unhappily when Concubine Shu exposed him, "Sure, your precious eldest son will be fine everywhere, that's all."
He didn't go to see Bai Lianran. He glanced at Bai Lianran since he entered the hall.
Bai Ranran thought that the royal mother and her son always behaved in a polite manner, but she did not expect Concubine Shu to be so easy-going.
When Concubine Shu heard Mo Shaoyan calling her Empress Shu, she was so angry that she threw the book in her hand at him, "You brat, you dare to call me that, I'm afraid your skin will itch."
Mo Shaoyan caught the book with his hand before it hit him.
He opened the book, glanced at it, and threw the book to the maid waiting next to him in disgust, "I'm old enough to read such a messy picture album."
Concubine Shu ignored him and asked: "Where is your eighth brother? Why didn't you come to see me?"
After hearing Concubine Shu's words, Mo Shaoyan glanced at Bai Lanran and said, "He openly forced his father to grant a marriage at the palace banquet. He was called alone to attend the palace banquet. He has not been out for a long time, for fear of being reprimanded."
He withdrew his gaze from Bai Ranran and stood up lazily, "I will go back to the house to change my clothes first. There will be that boring palace banquet in the evening."
He was so annoyed that he wouldn't have wanted to come if the emperor hadn't ordered all the princes to be present.
I watched Mo Shaohua ask for a marriage before, but I'm afraid I'll have to watch him and Bai Lanran fall in love again.
What evil had he done? He had to see them.
"Go ahead."
Concubine Shu waved her hand to him and leaned thoughtfully on the soft armrest.
She looked at Bai Lianran, who was looking at her nose and heart, as if she didn't care at all about her conversation with Mo Shaoyan, nor did she hear about Mo Shaohua's request for a marriage from the emperor.
Bai Ranran heard everything, but she didn't know how to get along with Concubine Shu.
As she grows up, she has actually never been very good at getting along with others.
Especially the elders.
She thought Concubine Shu had an interesting temperament, but she still didn't know what to say to her.
Concubine Shu waved to Nanny Li, "Go and bring the palace clothes prepared by me and take her to change."
When Bai Ranran heard this, she raised her eyes to look at Concubine Shu. When she saw Concubine Shu nodding towards her, she was sure that she was indeed talking about her.
She didn't ask why she wanted to change clothes, and followed Grandma Li to the side hall obediently.
It's true that Concubine Shu loves Mo Shaohua, so she won't do anything detrimental to her. There's nothing wrong with her behaving herself.
Concubine Shu prepared a lotus-colored palace dress for her, with exquisite embroidery. She also asked the palace maid to comb her bun again, and also inserted many exquisite and expensive hairpins for her.
When she was led back to the main hall by Aunt Li, Concubine Shu's eyes lit up when she saw her. She couldn't help but stand up and looked at her for a long time, and praised her repeatedly, "My son has good eyesight. No wonder he hid it from us before.
It turns out I was afraid of being robbed."
Listening to Concubine Shu's words, Bai Lianran's eyes couldn't help but twitch.
Is this really the concubine who has been favored for twenty years?
This character is quite good!
Concubine Shu took Bai Linran and chatted for a while. It was not until the emperor's oral instructions came that Bai Linran knew why Concubine Shu asked her to change clothes.
The emperor asked Concubine Shu to take her to the palace banquet in the evening.
It seems that Concubine Shu knew about Mo Shaohua's proposal for marriage before.
Concubine Shu, a prophet of uncertainty!
People who can be pampered for many years are not as simple as they seem.
"I'm going to change my clothes. Please wait here until I come out and take you there."
Concubine Shu stood up, and Grandma Li quickly followed her into the bedroom.
Bai Ranran had nothing to do, looking around Concubine Shu's palace.
Concubine Shu's palace was particularly gorgeous, with treasures everywhere, showing the emperor's love for her.
Bai Lanran still couldn't see through Concubine Shu, but she had a vague feeling that based on her temperament, she probably didn't like to be restrained.
I was ignored back then, maybe because I resisted.
When Concubine Shu came out, she saw Bai Linran in a daze and said with a smile: "Why are you so fascinated? Let's go. Your Majesty cannot wait for the palace banquet."
She was dressed gorgeously, and her headdress was even more gorgeous, as dazzling as a magnificent rose.
"It is very unruly to look at me like this. When you enter the palace, you must not offend His Majesty like this. He...forget it, let's go."
Concubine Shu stretched out her slender hand towards Bai Ranran.
Bai Ranran smiled slightly, stretched out her arm to Concubine Shu, and let her hand rest on her arm.
Concubine Shu's hand moved forward along her arm, held her little hand, and comforted her with a gentle voice, "Don't worry, I'm here, don't be nervous."
The afternoon was a reception banquet for the envoys and princesses of the Western Region, and the evening was just an ordinary palace banquet, not as formal as a state banquet.
Concubine Shu and Bai Lunran had just left the palace when Mo Shaohua walked up to them.
