The concubine is really unconvincing.
Concubine Xian was still talking, and she was particularly active in front of the dowager.
The queen mother didn't like the concubine Gao's mother and son, and the concubine Xian couldn't be more aware of this. The three princes and the fourth princes are not brilliant, if the sixth prince can win the favor of the queen mother, they will have enough bargaining chips to contend with the second prince.
Concubine Xian is thinking about it these days, and she has to run to Ci Ning Palace every day.
But no matter how diligent she is to ask the queen mother, the queen mother always shows her true expressions. The eyes of the Queen Mother looked at her, just like she looked at other concubines.
It is natural to say that it is not depressed.
But the thought of her son getting closer and closer to the position of the prince, the concubine Xian felt full of fighting spirit. Even if the queen mother is indifferent to her, the concubine Xian still treats the queen mother respectfully.
The concubine Xian has always praised how the six princes are brilliant and how they are liked by His Majesty. She just wants to win over the two most noble women of the Zhou Dynasty for her son.
Helplessly, the Queen Mother and the Queen are both shrewd people of the first class, how can they not see her calculations? Neither of them agreed to fulfill the wish of Concubine Xian.
The queen mother rubbed the buddha beads in her hand, and couldn't help sighing in her heart. The sixth prince was indeed a clever and intelligent. Among so many princes, the sixth prince was also very brilliant.
Unfortunately, the birth mother of the Sixth Prince is such a restless master.
If the sixth prince is allowed to follow such a biological mother, he may become like this in the future.
When the Queen Mother thought of this, it was inevitable that all the princes had been calculated in her heart again, but the more she thought about it, the more desolate and sad she felt.
The emperor's knees are not thin, but if you want to pick a few outstanding princes out, there are actually very few.
The queen mother was thinking about things, her thoughts had already flown away, the queen just smiled and nodded, not knowing whether she was listening to her or not. Concubine Xian will inevitably have a sense of frustration. She is proud of her son, but no one listens to her, she will feel unhappy after all.
Concubine Xian didn't want to stay any longer. Just as she got up and was about to retreat, she heard Xiaohuangmen pass through the door.
It turned out that a few concubines came here to greet the Queen Mother.
When she heard "good lady", Concubine Xian frowned obviously.
Although the queen mother did not want to hear the noise of many concubines, since they came in a swarm, it was not easy to turn them away and simply let them in.
The harem concubines headed by Concubine Shu came in, and the concubines greeted the queen mother and saluted the queen.
The Queen Mother gave a seat.
Concubine Shu is the youngest among the four first-tier concubines, and the most lively and cheerful. As soon as she took her seat, she laughed loudly and begged for tea.
The empress dowager likes Concubine Shu's temperament very much, and she always loves Concubine Shu very much, so now she lets the maid serve a pot of Concubine Shu's favorite tea.
The Concubine Xian sat aside, thinking sourly, Concubine Shu had never given birth to a prince, and why the Queen Mother favored Concubine Shu so much. And she came to greet the Queen Mother every day, but the Queen Mother still doesn't know her preferences.
Concubine Xian became more and more suffocated because of the fire in her stomach and seeing the Queen Mother's attitude towards her and Concubine Shu, which was so different. At the moment, he said to Concubine Shu with angrily: "You are not short in the palace, why are you so embarrassed to go to the empress dowager to ask for tea?"
Concubine Shu looked at her with a smile: "The tea in the empress dowager's palace is naturally sweeter than that in my palace. I have nothing to do with me and come to the empress dowager to listen to stories."
The queen mother looked at Concubine Shu with a smile. Concubine Shu was hostile to her, and Concubine Shu was clear, but Concubine Shu didn't like to provoke right and wrong, and her temperament was even more open. The queen dowager likes this kind of gentle and heavy person most.
In this harem, the queen is one and Concubine Shu is the second.
Concubine Xian just wanted to refute her, but she swallowed everything she wanted to say as she glanced at the empress dowager's expression.
Looking at the appearance of the Queen Mother, it was obvious that she was protecting Concubine Shu.
I don't know what Concubine Shu's ability is. After only seven or eight years in the palace, she only gave birth to a little princess, and she was promoted to be a concubine, on an equal footing with her.
Concubine Xian was feeling sad and had nowhere to spread it, so she looked at her good wife. There was a sneer in his eyes, "Sister Liangbi has always been in the simple world, why are you willing to go out today?"
Liangbi bowed his head and said respectfully: "I haven't seen the Queen Mother for a while, and the sisters took me over to please the Queen Mother."
Concubine Xian hooked her mouth, "I thought the four princes did that kind of thing, and you have no face to go out as a mother." After that, she smiled softly while covering her lips.
She thought that her words had hit the good girl, and she felt very happy. Seeing Liangbi not daring to answer the conversation, just about to continue taunting a few words, he heard the empress dowager's faint voice.
"What kind of thing did the fourth child do? The emperor didn't say anything, but you are interested, and you have to make a few words when you meet."
The Concubine Xian did not hear the second half of the Queen Mother’s words, and said quickly as if she was a tribute: "You don’t know, Empress Dowager, these two princes are traveling with the ten princesses of Yu Kingdom, and many people have seen it. You said, a dignified one. The prince, it was so unclear with the princesses of other countries, it spread, how do others think of the four princes, how do they think of our royal family in Da Zhou?"
What the Concubine Xian wanted to see most was the empress dowager's sullen look.
She knew that the queen mother was the most respectful of rules, and once the queen mother heard about this, she would not easily forgive the four princes.
Concubine Xian was waiting for the empress dowager to have a seizure. The queen mother had not spoken yet. Concubine Shu had already laughed out, "Sister Xianfei, you said that, they both traveled together, watching with so many eyes and doing nothing to shame. What can I just criticize? Besides, the four princes are the sons of the good men, so naturally there are good men to teach them. You only need to control the sixth princes and it will be done, so there is so much idle time to worry about others. Son's matter?"
Concubine Shu is already considered to be a dignified shame, and Concubine Xian no longer forbears her, and directly said: "Concubine Shu, what are you talking about? No matter how you say it, this palace is also the mother and concubine of the four princes. Naturally, this palace is the hope of the four. The prince is okay. Now the rumors of the fourth prince are spreading outside, can this palace not be anxious for the fourth prince?"
After finishing speaking, Concubine Xian also looked at the Queen Mother, showing an eager look, "The concubine has just lost his attitude. It is true that the concubine is too worried about the four princes."
Concubine Xian glanced at the empress dowager's expression, but she suddenly shuddered. The queen mother's eyes were icy cold, which made people tremble.
If the queen mother was just indifferent to her before, it can be said that the eyes of the queen mother looking at her are not warm at all.
Concubine Xian lowered her head hurriedly, only looking at the toes of her shoes and dared not speak.
The room became silent for an instant, and occasionally only a light and shallow breathing could be heard.
The Queen Mother's eyes kept falling on Concubine Xian's head. Just when Concubine Xian felt uncomfortable, the Queen Mother finally spoke.
"The fourth child is such a big person, and he will not act improperly. Even if there is a big incident, there will be the emperor and the queen to deal with, how do you have the right to give pointers here?"
The Queen Mother's voice was not loud, but it resounded like jade and resounded throughout the room. No one in the room dared to make a noise.
They have been with the Queen Mother for so many years, somehow they understand her temperament.
The queen mother has always looked majestic and noble, but she almost never gets angry. Although there was still no anger on the face of the Queen Mother at this time, everyone knew that the Queen Mother was already offended.
Rong Bi, who has always been with the concubine, took a peek at the concubine, and hurriedly lowered his head, for fear of being noticed by the queen mother.
There was dead silence in the room.
Concubine Xian was sitting on the chair, and she felt as though there was a needle stick under her body, so she was uncomfortable.
It’s the queen who opened her mouth to break the silence, "Speaking of which, the marriage of the third princes is approaching, and it is time to consider the marriage of the fourth princes. The ten princesses of Yu Kingdom look good, but unfortunately they are too spoiled. The fourth princes are gentle, maybe Can tolerate the ten princesses of Yu Country."
Liangbi listened, looked up at the queen nervously, her lips moved, her eyes rolled, and her head lowered again.
Concubine Shu took the conversation and curiously said: "Although I haven't seen the ten princesses of Yu Kingdom with my own eyes, they are all talking in the palace, is she really that scary
The empress dowager's expression was slightly relieved, the empress and concubine Shu obviously changed the subject, and the atmosphere in the palace was no longer as stagnant as before.
Xiao Tan, who had been standing aside, smiled and told Concubine Shu about what happened at the palace banquet. Concubine Shu had heard these things several times, and she still cooperated with her to make a surprised expression.
"This... The ten princesses of Yu State are too outrageous. Which of our princesses in Da Zhou dare to be like her, it's too unruly!" Shu Fei said.
A concubine echoed: "The concubine was also there that day and witnessed the ten princesses of Yu State provoking our Da Zhou girl, but she finally asked for trouble."
"Speaking of which, the three girls who prevented the ten princesses from coming to Taiwan have a lot of background." The palace lady who spoke looked at Xiao Tan, "I remember, one of them is a companion of the princess, right?"
Xiao Tan nodded, "She is the daughter of the Yasukuni Palace, she is very literary, and she is calm and majestic. I have learned a lot with her."
Everyone thought she was self-effacing, but seeing that Xiao Tan's expression did not seem to be false, he thought about it again that Xie Yunqing's sword dance on the night of the palace banquet was really amazing.
Someone sighed: "Duke Yasukuni fights and kills all day long, but I didn't expect that all the children born were quiet."
Xie Yong has been on the battlefield for dozens of years, but his sons have followed official career paths.
"The empress dowager, concubine, look, the young girl from the Xie family is about the same age as the fourth prince, but she is a good match, so why don't you point the girl from the Xie family to..."
"The marriage of the little girl from the Xie family naturally has her parents worrying about. What are you talking nonsense? Don't you worry about spreading it out and ruining her bulging reputation?" Before the voice fell, she was interrupted by the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother's voice was much harsher than before.
The palace concubine was taken aback, and quickly got up and confessed: "The concubine has nothing to say, please be generous with the empress dowager."
The queen was on the side, it seemed that Concubine Xian had just arrived, but she just shook her head and said nothing.
